Description

Pneumatic fixing device for shoes
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a pneumatic fixing device for shoes, and more particularly to a pneumatic fixing device for shoes inflated by a gas pump.
Background
In general, most of the conventional footwear uses a shoelace as a tool for loosening and fixing the foot, however, the footwear having the shoelace has many inconveniences in wearing. For example, when the shoelace is pulled off during the wearing process, the shoelace must be tied again to continue the activity, which causes inconvenience and waste of time. Furthermore, there is a potential risk associated with wearing footwear having laces. For example, when the shoelace is inadvertently loosened, it is easy to cause another person to step on the shoelace and cause tripping, and may be caught in a gap of an escalator, a bicycle chain or a motorcycle foot peg, etc., which may cause accidents. In addition, long-term wearing of footwear with laces tends to apply excessive pressure to the foot, resulting in discomfort to the wearer.
A small portion of conventional footwear is otherwise used as a means for loosely binding and securing the foot, such as: the magic felt or sock type shoe body is not enough in fixity and easy to fall off, the felt viscosity of the magic felt is reduced after long-time use, so that the magic felt or sock type shoe body is inconvenient to move and is not suitable for being worn during sports. The sock-type shoe body is not enough in fixation on the foot, tightness adjustment cannot be performed according to requirements, and the sock-type shoe body is easy to loosen after long-time use, so that the requirement for fixing the foot cannot be met.
On the other hand, the size of the opening of a conventional shoe is designed mainly according to the functionality thereof, for example, the opening of a sports shoe is usually designed to be small so as to provide better covering performance and avoid falling off during sports, however, the design with the small opening often causes the foot of a user to be difficult to penetrate into the shoe, and if the opening is spread by applying force so as to facilitate penetration, the opening is loosened so as to lose the covering protection effect; for example, casual shoes are usually designed with a large opening for a user to wear, but such a large opening often causes the user's foot to easily fall off the shoe and the risk of injury to the user's foot or damage to the shoe.
In view of the above, how to develop an air pressure fixing device for shoes that can automatically adjust the size of the shoe opening and comfortably wrap and fix the foot is a problem that needs to be solved.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention is directed to an air pressure fixing device for shoes, which can automatically adjust the size of the opening of the shoe and comfortably cover and fix the foot, so as to achieve the effects of conveniently wearing and taking off the shoe and fixing the foot when the shoe is worn. To achieve the above objects, a broad aspect of the present invention is an air pressure fixing device for shoes, which is suitable for a shoe, the shoe includes a shoe body and a bottom, the shoe body includes a plurality of lace holes, the shoe body is connected to the bottom to define a wearing space, the air pressure fixing device for shoes includes: the inflatable shoe tongue is of an inflatable expansion structure, and the inflatable shoe tongue and the shoe body jointly define an opening which is communicated with the penetrating space; the first air pump is communicated with the inflatable shoe tongue; the control module is electrically connected with the first gas pump; the control module controls gas to be led out from the inflatable tongue according to a second enabling signal, so that the inflatable tongue retracts towards the direction close to the wearing space to fit the instep of a user; the control module drives the first gas pump to actuate according to a first enabling signal, so that gas is introduced into the inflatable tongue, the inflatable tongue is inflated to expand and protrudes in a direction away from the penetrating space, and the opening is enlarged.

In the present embodiment, a gap g0 is formed between the resonator plate 122 and the piezoelectric actuator 123 of the first gas pump 12, and the gap g0 is filled with a conductive material, such as: the conductive paste, but not limited thereto, can maintain a depth of a gap g0 between the resonator plate 122 and the protrusion 1231e of the suspension plate 1231 of the piezoelectric actuator 123, so as to guide the airflow to flow more rapidly, and since the protrusion 1231e of the suspension plate 1231 maintains a proper distance from the resonator plate 122, the contact interference between the protrusion 1231e and the resonator plate 122 is reduced, so as to reduce the noise. Thus, when the piezoelectric actuator 123 is driven to perform the air collection operation, the air is firstly collected to the collecting chamber 127a from the opening portion 1263 of the cover plate 126, and further flows to the first chamber 127b through the hollow hole 1220 of the resonator plate 122 for temporary storage, and when the piezoelectric actuator 123 is driven to perform the air discharge operation, the air is firstly flowed from the first chamber 127b to the collecting chamber 127a through the hollow hole 1220 of the resonator plate 122, and is guided into the inflatable tongue 11 by the inflatable shoelace 10.
The operation of the first gas pump 12 of the present invention is further described below, referring to fig. 13A-13D, and fig. 13A-13D are schematic diagrams illustrating the operation of the gas pump according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in fig. 13A, the first gas pump 12 is formed by sequentially stacking and positioning the cover plate 126, the other insulating sheet 1242, the conducting sheet 125, the insulating sheet 1241, the piezoelectric actuator 123 and the resonator plate 122, wherein a gap g0 is formed between the resonator plate 122 and the piezoelectric actuator 123, the resonator plate 122 and the side wall 1261 of the cover plate 126 jointly define the collecting chamber 127a, and a first chamber 127b is formed between the resonator plate 122 and the piezoelectric actuator 123. When the first gas pump 12 is not yet driven by voltage, the positions of its components are as shown in fig. 13A.
As shown in fig. 13B, when the piezoelectric actuator 123 of the first gas pump 12 is actuated by a voltage to vibrate upward, the gas enters the first gas pump 12 through the opening 1263 of the cover plate 126, and is collected in the collecting chamber 127a, and then flows upward into the first chamber 127B through the hollow hole 1220 of the resonator plate 122, and the resonator plate 122 also vibrates in a reciprocating manner under the resonance effect of the suspension plate 1231 of the piezoelectric actuator 123, i.e., the resonator plate 122 deforms upward accordingly, i.e., the resonator plate 122 slightly protrudes upward from the hollow hole 1220.
Thereafter, as shown in fig. 13C, the piezoelectric actuator 123 vibrates back to the initial position, and the convex portion 1231e of the suspension plate 1231 of the piezoelectric actuator 123 is close to the slightly convex portion of the resonator plate 122 at the hollow hole 1220, so as to temporarily store the gas in the first gas pump 12 in the upper half of the first chamber 127 b.
As shown in fig. 13D, the piezoelectric actuator 123 vibrates downwards, and the resonator plate 122 vibrates downwards due to the resonance effect of the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 123, so that the resonator plate 122 compresses the volume of the first chamber 127b through the downward deformation of the resonator plate 122, and further, the gas in the upper layer of the first chamber 127b is pushed to flow to both sides and passes through the gap 1234 of the piezoelectric actuator 123 downwards to flow to the hollow hole 1220 of the resonator plate 122 for being compressed and discharged, thereby forming a compressed gas flow to the first flow guiding chamber 202 of the carrier 20 through the gas guiding opening 204. In this embodiment, when the resonator plate 122 vertically reciprocates, the maximum vertical displacement distance can be increased by the gap g0 between the resonator plate 122 and the piezoelectric actuator 123, i.e., the gap g0 between the vibrating plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 123 can allow the resonator plate 122 to vertically displace to a greater extent at the time of resonance.
Finally, the resonant piece 122 returns to the initial position, as shown in fig. 13A, and then continuously circulates from the sequence of fig. 13A to 13D through the aforementioned operation flow, so that the gas continuously flows into the converging chamber 127a through the opening 1263 of the cover plate 126, then flows into the first chamber 127b, and then flows into the converging chamber 127a through the first chamber 127b, so that the gas flow continuously flows into the inflatable tongue 11 from the inflatable shoelace 10, and the gas can be stably transmitted. In other words, when the first gas pump 12 of the present invention is operated, the gas flows through the opening 1263 of the cover plate 126, the collecting chamber 127a, the first chamber 127b, the collecting chamber 127a and the gas guiding end opening 204 in sequence, so that the first gas pump 12 of the present invention can achieve the effects of reducing the number of components of the first gas pump 12 and simplifying the overall process by using a single component, i.e., the cover plate 126, and the structural design of the opening 1263 of the cover plate 126.

And as also shown in fig. 14B, it can be seen from the first surface 121B of the intake plate 11 that at least one bus hole 1212 is formed thereon to correspond to the at least one intake hole 1210 of the second surface 121a of the intake plate 121. A central recess 1211 is formed at the center of the bus hole 1212, and the central recess 1211 is in communication with the bus hole 1212, so that the gas entering the bus hole 1212 from the at least one gas inlet hole 1210 can be guided and converged into the central recess 1211, so that the gas can be effectively converged into the hollow hole 1220 of the resonator plate 122, thereby delivering the gas to the interior of the first gas pump 12. Therefore, the air inlet plate 121 has an air inlet 1210, a bus hole 1212 and a central recess 1211 formed integrally, and a converging chamber for converging air is formed at the central recess 1211 for temporarily storing air. In some embodiments, the material of the air inlet plate 121 may be, but is not limited to, a stainless steel material.
