Segmented Insole with Arch-Mounted Heating Box
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing heating insoles have complex production and assembly processes, and the placement of the heating assembly at the heel position makes it uncomfortable and non-ergonomic.
Innovation Solution
The insole design features a lower pad stacked on the insole body with a mounting box that includes a cover plate and buckles, allowing for quick assembly and ergonomic placement, reducing manufacturing steps and enhancing durability by forming integral structures for charging interfaces and switch keys during molding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the heating assembly is arranged in the heel position, then the heating function is achieved, but the heel position becomes thick and uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The insole is divided into multiple functional layers: insole body, lower pad, and mounting box. The heating assembly is integrated into the mounting box which is positioned in the arch portion rather than the heel, segmenting the functional elements to achieve both heating and comfort
2Adaptability or versatility
If the heating assembly is included in the insole, then the heating function is enriched, but the production and assembly process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The insole system is segmented into modular components (insole body, lower pad, mounting box) that can be manufactured separately and assembled together, simplifying the production process while maintaining the heating function
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting box is nested within the mounting cavity formed by the insole body and lower pad, creating a compact integrated structure that simplifies assembly while housing the heating assembly

AI summary
An insole includes an insole body, a lower pad and a mounting box. The insole body is provided with a bottom surface, a first rear end, and a first front end. The lower pad is provided with a second front end and a second rear end; the second front end is correspondingly stacked with the first front end, the second rear end is correspondingly folded with the read end; the mounting box is fixed in the mounting cavity. The lower pad of the insole is correspondingly stacked with the bottom surface of the insole body, with the stacked design, the insole can be assembled quickly and easily, with fewer assembly procedures.
