Self-generating and vibrating functional shoe equipped with GPS device
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a functional shoe configured to generate power when a user wearing the shoe walks, so that a battery there inside can be charged, and to supply the charged electricity to internal and external devices so as to be used for the purpose of user safety and device charging, and enable use of a location tracking function using a GPS device. A self-generating smart shoe according to the present invention comprises: an outsole constituting the lower portion of the shoe while having a plurality of receiving portions formed therein; a self-generation unit which, while being installed at the heel of the outsole, generates power by using a pressure generated when the user wearing the shoe walks and the restoring force due to the pressure; and a battery which, while being installed in the outsole, is charged when the self-generation unit generates power.
1. A self power-generating shoe equipped with a vibrating function and a GPS device, the shoe comprising:
an outsole ( 100 ) constituting a lower portion of the shoe while having a plurality of receiving portions ( 110 ) formed therein;
a self power-generation unit ( 200 ) which, while being installed at a heel of the outsole ( 100 ), generates power by using pressure generated when a user wearing the shoe walks and a restoring force due to the pressure; and
a battery ( 300 ) which, while being installed in the outsole ( 100 ), is charged when the self power-generation unit ( 200 ) generates power,
wherein the self power-generation unit ( 200 ) comprises:
a casing ( 210 ) in which a cavity is formed therein;
a lifting portion ( 220 ) configured to include a cylindrical body ( 221 ) with a screw thread formed on an outer periphery thereof, an upper head ( 222 ) having a wider width than the body ( 221 ) and being covered by an insole inside the shoe, and a lower spring ( 223 ) supporting the body ( 221 ), and move up and down vertically by the pressure and restoring force generated when the user wearing the shoe walks in a state in which the head ( 222 ) and a part of the body ( 221 ) are installed in the casing ( 210 ) in a form protruding outward;
a first gear ( 230 ) axially rotating in a different direction when the lifting portion ( 220 ) moves up and down while being installed inside the casing ( 210 ) in a form corresponding to the screw thread of the lifting portion ( 220 );
a gear portion ( 240 ) composed of a second gear ( 241 ) rotating in correspondence with the first gear ( 230 ) and a third gear ( 242 ) rotating while connected to the same rotational axis as the second gear ( 241 ); and
a generator ( 250 ) having a fourth gear ( 251 ), meshing with the third gear ( 242 ), installed at an end of a rotating shaft that rotates an internal coil, so that the generator ( 250 ) generates power, while being installed inside the casing ( 210 ), in conjunction with the third gear ( 242 ) that axially rotates,
wherein the body ( 221 ) of the lifting portion ( 220 ), the first gear ( 230 ), the gear portion ( 240 ), and the fourth gear ( 251 ) are configured such that their diameters gradually decrease according to a transmission order of power when the lifting portion ( 220 ) descends, so that a number of rotations gradually increases, and an amount of power generated by the generator ( 250 ) increases as the number of rotations increases,
wherein the outsole ( 100 ) is provided with a multifunction module ( 400 ) including:
the GPS device (not shown) that generates location information;
a shock sensor (not shown) that detects a shock that occurs when the user is walking and generates shock information;
a posture detection sensor (not shown) that detects a posture of the shoe and generates posture information; and
a communication module (not shown) that wirelessly transmits the generated location information, shock information, and posture information to a preset user terminal ( 700 ).
2. The shoe of claim 1 ,
wherein the user terminal ( 700 ) is configured to measure the number of steps the user takes by using the shock information among the location information, shock information, and posture information transmitted from the multifunction module ( 400 ), calculate calorie consumption by reflecting the measured number of steps and walking speed, detect a user's fall, and send a short message (SMS) to a designated phone number when the user's fall is detected and the location information is not restored for a predetermined period of time or more.
3. The shoe of claim 1 , wherein the outsole ( 100 ) is provided with a charging port ( 500 ) providing electricity charged in the battery ( 300 ) to the user terminal ( 700 ) through a wired connection in a form that may be exposed to the outside.
4. The shoe of claim 1 , wherein the outsole ( 100 ) is provided with a vibration terminal ( 600 ) including:
a main body portion ( 610 ) in which a space is formed therein, in which a plurality of first stationary magnets ( 611 ) is installed on an upper side of the inside of the main body portion ( 610 ), and in which a plurality of second stationary magnets ( 612 ) is installed in a vertical line with the first stationary magnets ( 611 ) on a lower side of the inside of the main body portion ( 610 ); and
a vibration plate ( 620 ) installed in a form in which one end thereof is fixed between the first stationary magnets ( 611 ) and the second stationary magnets ( 612 ), and provided with a plurality of first movable magnets ( 621 ) that generates a repulsive force in response to the first stationary magnets ( 611 ) and a plurality of second movable magnets ( 622 ) that generates a repulsive force in response to the second stationary magnets ( 612 ) in a main body of the vibration plate ( 620 ), so that the vibration plate ( 620 ) vibrates due to a vibration generated when the user walks and a repulsive force between the movable magnets and the stationary magnets.
