  • the gas generator 436 can be placed simply in the airbag 21, and it can also be mounted outside the airbag 21 and introduce the generated gas into the airbag 21 via pipes.
  • the controller 44 connects with the air charging device 43 and the RF transceiver/receiver 42.
  • the user can send inflation instruction by the mobile terminal 50
  • the RF transceiver/receiver 42 receives the inflation instruction from the mobile terminal 50
  • the controller 44 controls the gas generator 436 to generate gas, therefore the airbag 21 is automatically inflated until the air pressure of the airbag 21 achieves target value.
  • the air pressure of the airbag 21 can be adjusted automatically according to the requirements of the user, and the hardness of the air bag 21 is further adjusted.
  • an electronic-controlled sealing valve 231 is further mounted in the air vent 23, and the sealing valve 231 connects with the controller 44.

  • the controller 44 can provide suggested air pressure of the airbag 21 according to the operating condition or road surface condition, and send the suggested air pressure to the mobile terminal 50 of the user via the RF transceiver/receiver 42.
  • the user can easily decide whether it is needed to inflate or deflate the airbag 21 based on the suggested air pressure and the current air pressure in the airbag 21.
  • the sole structure provided by the aforementioned embodiments can be applied in various shoes such as sports shoes, basketball shoes, running shoes, casual shoes or feather shoes.
  • a modular sole structure is formed, when the anti-wear block is worn out, a new anti-wear block can be replaced. In this way, the user can fine adjust his walking posture, and thus reduce the worn out of the sole structure. Because of this, the life-span of the shoes is prolonged, and the undesirable walking posture caused by the wear out of the sole can be avoided; by replacing the removable anti-wear block, the user will not have to frequently replace new shoes and economic loss is avoided.
  • the airbag room and the airbag mounted in the sole structure form a shock absorption system, which endows the sole structure a better shock absorption effect. Further, when the two airbags in a row are connected by a connecting tube, it can balance the sole structure, even walking on an uneven road, the user will not sprain his ankles.
  • the user can get the air pressure condition in the airbag at any time, and decide to inflate or deflate the airbag according to the actual needs, thus adjusting the hardness of the airbag.
