Abstract

This invention relates to an automatic sensing and steering device for shoes, mainly used to solve the problems of mobility difficulties and the need for frequent bending over by the elderly. It includes: two shoe bodies, each shoe body having a wearing cover, a sole, and a stepping part; two motion devices, each motion device including a wheel assembly and a frame; and two control units, each control unit further including a start switch unit, a motor unit, a battery unit, a steering unit, and a mode switching unit. The control units can automatically determine whether the user has taken off the shoes, and the two motion devices drive each wheel assembly to turn the front of the two shoe bodies 180 degrees toward the door, making it convenient for the user to put them on again.

Claims

1. An automatic sensing and steering device for shoes, comprising: two shoe bodies, each shoe body having a wearing cover, a shoe sole, and a stepping part, wherein the shoe sole is located below the stepping part, and the wearing cover is connected to the upper part of one end of the stepping part; The two motion devices each include a wheel assembly and a frame, wherein each frame is attached to or integrally formed on both sides of the two shoe bodies, above the wearing cover, or on the bottom of the shoe, and each wheel assembly is attached to the corresponding frame; and the two control units each include a start switch unit, a motor unit, a battery unit, a directional unit, and a mode switching unit, and are electrically connected to each control unit, wherein each start switch unit is located on the corresponding foot pedal or motion device of the shoe body, each motor unit is located on the corresponding foot pedal of the shoe body and attached to the corresponding wheel assembly, and each battery unit, directional unit, and mode switching unit are attached to the frame, wherein each battery unit is electrically connected to the control unit to provide power.

2. The automatic shoe-sensing steering device as described in claim 1, wherein each of the control units has an automatic mode and a manual mode in each of the switching mode units; and wherein each control unit further includes a wireless module, and each wireless module can be configured as Bluetooth and WIFI.

3. The automatic shoe-sensing steering device as described in claim 2, wherein the manual mode of each of the switching mode units further includes a mobile phone, a tablet, a terminal or a computer connected to each of the wireless modules, and remotely controlling the motor unit of each of the control units to rotate using the mobile phone or the computer, so that the two shoe bodies can turn to a designated position.

4. The automatic sensing and steering device for shoes as described in claim 1, wherein when each of the switching mode units is in automatic mode, and when each of the start switch units provided on the two shoe bodies is not subjected to weight pressure, the orientation unit uses its direction recognition function to activate each of the switching mode units to drive each of the motor units to drive each of the wheel sets provided on each of the motion devices and to drive each of the shoe bodies to turn, so that the front ends of the wearing and covering parts of the two shoe bodies are turned to align with a gate.

5. The automatic sensing and steering device for shoes as described in claim 1, wherein each of the motion devices and each of the shoe bodies is provided with a spring, and when each of the shoe bodies bears the weight of the user, each of the shoe bodies will sink and touch the ground, and each of the motion devices is provided with a wheel set including two drive wheels and one omnidirectional wheel, wherein each of the drive wheels is installed on both sides of each of the shoe bodies, and the other omnidirectional wheel is installed at the rear bottom of each of the shoe bodies.

6. The automatic sensing steering device for shoes as described in claim 5, wherein each frame of the motion device is T-shaped, sole-shaped, or cross-shaped.

7. The automatic sensing steering device for shoes as claimed in claim 6, wherein each of the drive wheels is connected to and extends a universal joint to the shaft of each of the motor units, and each of the universal joints abuts against each of the springs.

8. The automatic shoe-sensing steering device as claimed in claim 7, wherein each of the control units is provided with an orientation unit that is an electronic compass, an inertial measurement unit, a gyroscope and / or an accelerometer; and wherein the start switch unit of each control unit is provided with a push switch and is abutted by each of the universal joints.

9. The automatic sensing steering device for shoes as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein each of the frames of each motion device is provided with a magnetic member on its inner side, and the two magnetic members are mutually attracted and connected together with the two shoe bodies.

10. The automatic shoe sensing and steering device as described in claim 9, wherein there is only one motion device and one control unit, and the frame of the motion device is a disc, and the control unit is located on the disc, and the disc is used to support the two shoe bodies, and the wheel set thereon includes two drive wheels and one omnidirectional wheel, wherein the two drive wheels are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the disc, and the omnidirectional wheel is mounted at the rear of the bottom of the disc.
