Description

  The present invention relates to footwear, and more specifically, physical and electrical stimuli are simultaneously transmitted to a specific part of the ankle and ankle of the sole, which is useful for height growth, using the force applied during walking. It is related with the functional footwear provided with the stimulating member for stimulating height growth which stimulates a growth board as it is.

  In general, human growth means an increase in body size or height due to cell proliferation and enlargement, and height growth means that the bone and surrounding muscles grow together. Here, from the viewpoint of bone that human height grows, the spine called the spine and the long bones of the leg bone play the largest role. In particular, the leg bones increase in length by causing growth hormones secreted from the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate parts called epiphyseal cartilages or growth plates in the knee and ankle hip joints, thereby causing cell division. As a result, height growth is realized.

  For such growth, it is widely known that proper stimulation of the growth plate by appropriate exercise is effective, and in fact, stimulation by jumping movements such as jumping rope and basketball activates cell division of the growth plate. It is known that it can promote bone growth. The jumping action stimulates the growth plate of the knee by stimulation of the sole, particularly stimulation of the heel, and also stimulates the growth plate by stimulation of the ankle joint. In addition to the growth plate stimulation of the knee joint by direct impact stimulation as described above, it is known that physical acupressure at the ankle, particularly in the vicinity of the heel, is useful for height growth. This is due to reflex acupuncture transmitted in Oriental medicine. That is, each part of the foot is connected to each organ inside the human body, and the internal organs of the human body are affected by applying acupressure to the specific part of the foot. Therefore, it is known that stimulating the vicinity of the heel helps to grow by stimulating the growth plate of the knee joint to promote the secretion of growth hormone. In addition to this, it is known that stimulation and stretching by the whole leg will help height growth. After it has been known that appropriate stimulation applied to the foot, such as stimulation of a specific part of the sole of the foot, finger pressure and stretching in the vicinity of the heel, can stimulate the growth plate and promote growth. Equipment has been developed and used.

  For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-1106030 discloses a bone growth promoting device using artificial gravity. Such a device is a device that gives a certain stimulus to the growth plate of the human body to help promote growth, but is expensive and widely used for daily use as a device that is fixedly used in a certain place. There are a number of restrictions on what can be done.

  In contrast to this, there is disclosed footwear that can not be stimulated such as stretching but stimulates the growth plate of the knee joint by stimulating the sole of the foot and stimulating the vicinity of the heel to help grow the height. Since the footwear is used on a daily basis, the growth plate is stimulated by an additional function installed in the footwear to help height growth. The Korean Registered Utility Model Publication (Registration No. 20-409793) discloses footwear for promoting height growth by physical and chemical stimulation of reflective heels and growth plates located on the foot and ankle. (10-2005-94369) discloses footwear for promoting height growth by stimulating a reflex eyelid and growth plate involved in the pituitary gland.

  According to the technique, a protrusion is provided at a position corresponding to the position of the thumb of the foot, and a support portion is provided in the vicinity of the heel of the ankle for stimulation. Under such a structure, not only the thumb pressure effect of the thumb by the protrusion, but also the finger pressure effect by the support portion located near the heel is hardly present. That is, since the force applied by the foot during walking is transmitted to the ground via the sole, no acupressure effect is applied to the vicinity of the heel corresponding to the side portion of the foot. Therefore, there is a problem that the growth plate is not stimulated.

  On the other hand, according to the Korean Patent Gazette (Registration No. 10-512534), as the pressurizing part filled with air is pressurized, the growth plate under the cocoon is stimulated by air movement. ing. Even under the structure described above, there are still the following problems.

  Under the structure, growth plate site stimulation in the vicinity of the heel is not performed on the heel. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the stimulation point located near the heel is a portion where the horizontal rear portion of the heel about 1 to 1.5 cm intersects with the vertical upper portion of the rib, not under the heel. , Corresponding to the dent part of the rear part of the ankle, and located on the part of the reflex therapy, which is designated as a heel or heel (hereinafter, the stimulation point of the rear part of the ankle is referred to as an ankle stimulation part (a) for convenience of description) .) In the above technique, the ankle stimulating unit cannot be smoothly stimulated by inflation with air pressure. The ankle stimulating portion (a) is a recessed portion as described above, and does not directly contact the rear surface of the footwear. In order to stimulate the ankle stimulating part (a), the stimulation part must move in the front-rear direction at a constant interval. However, in the above-described structure, only simple expansion is performed, and front-rear movement is not performed. There is a problem that the direct stimulation effect cannot be exhibited.

  Further, in the above-described conventional technique, the focus is on the stimulation of the ankle stimulation unit (a), but the actual stimulation is not performed on the heel, and if the heel is on the sole, the stimulation portion (hereinafter referred to as heel There is a problem that the growth plate stimulation of the knee joint is not actually performed on the heel because a direct impact by the stimulation unit (b) cannot be applied.

  Unlike the above structure, according to Korean Published Patent Publication (10-2005-39686), a structure is shown in which the growth plate is stimulated by direct impact by the sole of the foot while varying the hardness of the outsole of the footwear. In particular, the midsole is made hard to increase the impact received by the entire sole. However, under the above-described structure, there is a problem that the feeling of wearing the footwear is remarkably lowered. Above all, despite the fact that the direct stimulation of the growth plate by the impact of the heel stimulation part (b) is more effective than the impact of the entire sole of the foot, the overall hardness is simply improved, the stimulation transfer member, the stimulation dispersion member, etc. However, there is a problem that the roles of the stimulus transfer member, the stimulus dispersion member, and the rib bone spine prevention member are unclear. Under such a structure, since the ankle stimulating portion (a) is not stimulated at all, the growth plate is not stimulated effectively.

  As described above, in the conventional footwear, the physical stimulation by the ankle stimulating portion (a) and the heel stimulating portion (b) is not effectively made to the heel, so that the substantial growth plate is not stimulated. There is a point.

  On the other hand, in addition to growth plate stimulation by simple physical stimulation as described above, oriental medicine sometimes uses growth plate stimulation using endocrine stimulation. In other words, by stimulating the acupuncture point using a needle, the growth plate is stimulated and used as a treatment to help height growth. In footwear, endocrine stimulation therapy such as acupuncture is used. There is a problem that it cannot be used directly.

  Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide footwear in which physical stimulation is accurately performed on the ankle stimulation unit.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide footwear that is more useful for height growth by growth plate stimulation by accurately applying physical stimulation simultaneously to the ankle stimulation portion and the heel stimulation portion.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide footwear that stimulates the growth plate by stimulating the endocrine system by electrical stimulation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided on a heel counter of a footwear that supports the rear part of a foot from the heel of the foot to the ankle, and is provided in a shape corresponding to the recess of the rear part of the ankle, and the rear part of the ankle is provided. An ankle contact member to be in close contact with the ankle stimulation member, which is installed from the inside of the outsole of the footwear to the ankle contact member and is a recessed portion of the heel rear portion of the ankle, using force applied by the foot during walking An ankle stimulating member for transmitting physical stimulation; installed in an outsole of footwear corresponding to the center of the rear part of the sole, and relative to the heel stimulation part corresponding to the center of the rear part of the sole relative to the outsole A heel stimulating member that transmits a load stimulus due to an applied force with high hardness; and physics to the heel stimulator at the back of the sole and the ankle stimulator at the back of the ankle due to the applied load Stimulation Crack, to provide footwear.

  The ankle contact member is made of any one of an air bag by air injection, an elastic polymer material, a rubber material, and a synthetic fiber, and is provided in a shape corresponding to a recess in the rear part of the ankle. The ankle contact member is installed along the upper edge of the upper of the footwear covering the ankle, is in the form of a fastening band made of a stretchable material for close contact with the ankle, and has a recess at the rear of the ankle. Make sure the area is in close contact with the inner surface of the footwear.

  The ankle stimulating member is installed over the outer portion of the ankle contact member in communication with both sides of the airbag, and the end portion is ankle stimulating at the back of the ankle The end of the finger pressure stimulating material stimulates the ankle stimulating portion using the gas movement caused by the contraction of the airbag. Further, the ankle stimulating member is made of a polymer material having elasticity, has a vacant space in the center portion, is rounded downward as it goes from the center upper side to both sides, And a stimulating piece which is rounded upward from both ends of the main body and whose end is inclined inward horizontally and contacts the ankle stimulating portion, and the stimulating piece moves in the horizontal direction due to contraction of the main body due to a load. Stimulate the stimulator. The heel stimulating member is installed in a central space of the airbag or the elastic body, and has a hardness higher than the hardness of an outsole of footwear.

On the other hand, the present invention further includes an electric stimulation member that is installed in an outsole of footwear and includes a power generation device that generates power and a power generation point provided in the ankle stimulation unit and / or the heel stimulation unit. Further, the present invention provides footwear that allows electrical stimulation to be applied more strongly to the ankle stimulating portion and / or the heel stimulating portion.
The power generator is a low-frequency generator installed inside the heel stimulating member, or a battery installed inside the heel stimulating member for supplying power, and the electricity supplied from the battery is several to several. It is composed of a power source generating unit composed of a micro current generating source for converting into a micro current of a hundred microamperes, or a piezoelectric element that generates a voltage and a micro current according to applied pressure.

  According to the above-described configuration, electrical stimulation is simultaneously applied to the ankle stimulation part and the heel stimulation part simultaneously with the electrical stimulation, and the growth plate is stimulated more efficiently, thereby helping height growth.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since physical stimulation and electrical stimulation are simultaneously transmitted to the rear part and the heel part of the ankle which are stimulation sites for height growth, height growth by stimulation of the growth plate is prevented. It has the effect of being promoted.

It is a figure which shows the shape of a leg | foot. It is a figure showing footwear concerning the present invention. It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the main components of the footwear which concerns on this invention. It is a figure which shows the ankle contact | adherence member which concerns on this invention. It is a figure which shows the ankle stimulating member which concerns on this invention. It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the state in which the heel stimulating member which concerns on this invention was installed. It is a perspective view which shows the heel stimulation member and electrical stimulation member which concern on this invention. It is an electric circuit diagram of the power generator concerning the present invention. It is a figure which shows the action | operation of the footwear which concerns on this invention.

  Hereinafter, footwear according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is a view showing an embodiment of footwear according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the footwear according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the present invention includes an ankle contact member 10 that is installed on a heel counter 130 that is a rear portion of footwear 100 so that the ankle stimulation portion (a) is in close contact with the inner surface of the footwear, and The ankle stimulating member 20 that directly stimulates the ankle stimulating portion (a) by the applied external force, the heel stimulating member 30 that directly stimulates the heel stimulating portion (b) by the applied external force, and the ankle stimulating portion (a And / or an electrical stimulation member 40 for electrically stimulating the wrinkle stimulation section (b).

  First, the ankle contact member 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing an ankle contact member according to the present invention. As described above, the ankle stimulating portion (a) for stimulating the growth plate for height growth is a recessed portion, and in the structure of the normal footwear 100, the ankle stimulating portion (a) is completely on the inner surface of the heel counter 130 of the footwear. Does not stick. Therefore, in order for the ankle stimulating portion (a) to be in close contact with the inner surface of the footwear, the ankle contact member 10 corresponding to the shape of the rear portion of the ankle, particularly the ankle stimulating portion (a), is installed on the heel counter 130 of the footwear. To.

  Such an ankle contact member 10 can be configured in various ways.

  As shown to (a) of FIG. 4, you may comprise the ankle contact | adherence member 10 in the form of the airbag 10a. When configured in this manner, the airbag 10a itself has some elasticity, so that when the user wears footwear, the airbag 10a can be brought into close contact with the ankle along the concave shape of the ankle. On the other hand, it is also possible to configure a separate air inlet 10a 'on the outside so that the user can inject air from the outside. In this case, the air inlet 10 a ′ is installed via the footwear upper 120. Therefore, after wearing the footwear, the user can inject air until the ankle contact member 10 made of the airbag 10a is completely in close contact with the ankle portion by pumping the air inlet 10 ′ portion from the outside. .

  Unlike this, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), an ankle contact member 10 having an appropriate shape corresponding to the recessed portion of the ankle is formed from a polymer material or rubber material 10b having relatively free deformability. May be. When silicon is used as the polymer material, the silicon has a certain degree of elasticity. Therefore, when the user wears footwear, the ankle contact member 10 can be completely in close contact with the recessed portion of the ankle stimulating portion (a). On the other hand, the ankle contact member 10 may be made of a soft pad-shaped fiber material. In this case, it is possible to achieve close contact with the ankle by manufacturing it so as to correspond to the shape of the ankle. In this case, although the illustrated drawing is composed of one ankle contact member, in the present embodiment, the ankle contact member is formed of a molded product, unlike the airbag, and therefore corresponds to the two-sided ankle stimulation portions. Divided into two parts.

  On the other hand, unlike the structure corresponding to the concave shape of the ankle stimulating portion (a) as described above, an ankle contact member 10 of a tightening band 10c type may be used as shown in FIG. That is, after the user wears the footwear, the fastening band 10c is installed along the upper edge 130a of the heel counter 130 in the portion forming the upper 120 of the footwear. The tightening band 10c is tightened so as to be completely adhered around the ankle. Such a tightening band 10c is made of a stretchable material such as rubber or a spring, and after wearing the footwear, it can be completely adhered around the ankle by an elastic force. In contrast, the fastening pieces 10c ′ are formed at both ends of the fastening band 10c, and the user adjusts the fastening pieces 10c ′ at both ends of the fastening band 10c so that the fastening pieces 10c ′ are completely fastened, so that they are completely brought into close contact with the ankle. Is also possible. Similar to the structure of FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b) described above, such a tightening band 10c is formed at the upper end of the upper shell 120 rather than being in close contact with the recessed portion of the ankle stimulating portion (a). The structure is such that the foot is in close contact with the footwear as a whole by tightening along the foot. Of course, such a fastening band 10c can be used simultaneously with the ankle contact members 10a and 10b made of the above-described airbag or polymer material. In this case, the ankle contact members 10a and 10b are in close contact with the recessed portion of the ankle, and at the same time, the upper edge of the upper shell is tightened by the fastening band 10c, thereby realizing complete contact with the ankle portion and firmness. it can.

  Next, an ankle stimulating member according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The ankle stimulating member 20 is a member that directly stimulates the above-described ankle stimulating portion (a) so that the ankle stimulating portion (a) is directly stimulated by pressure applied after the user wears the footwear. It is configured. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the ankle stimulating member 20 is made of an elastic plastic, and an elastic body 22 that contracts by an applied pressure, and an ankle stimulating portion (a And a stimulating piece 24 for stimulating. The elastic main body 22 has an opening at the center, rounds downward as it goes to both sides from the center, and a stimulation piece 24 is connected upward from the rounded ends. On the other hand, the stimulating piece 24 is not formed vertically upward, but the upper end portion provided with the stimulating point 24a for stimulating in contact with the ankle stimulating portion (a) from the lower end connected to the elastic body 22 is inside. It is formed so as to be inclined. Therefore, when pressure is applied to the surface of the elastic main body 22 by the sole, the surface of the elastic main body 22 is pressed downward, whereby the stimulation point 24a of the stimulation piece 24 is moved inward horizontally by the pressing force. A structure capable of stimulating the stimulation part (a) can be achieved. In the structure described above, the degree of movement of the stimulation point of the stimulation piece varies depending on the degree of elastic deformation due to the material. Usually, when wearing footwear, the ankle heel where the ankle stimulating portion (a) is located has a margin of about 0.2 to 0.5 mm depending on the shape of the foot from the recessed portion and the inner surface of the crust. Have. Therefore, unless the horizontal movement distance of the stimulation point 24a provided at the end of the stimulation piece 24 is larger than the margin, the ankle stimulation unit (a) is not directly stimulated. This distance can be sufficiently achieved by the ankle stimulating member 20 made of a normal elastic plastic.

  The elastic body 22 is embedded in an outsole where the back buttock is located, and the stimulation piece 24 is located along the inner surface of the upper 120. When the ankle contact member 10 described above is provided, the stimulation piece 24 is installed on the outer surface of the ankle contact member 10. In this case, the stimulation point 24a of the stimulation piece 24 can be maintained in contact with the ankle stimulation part (a) by the ankle contact member 10, and therefore when the pressure is applied by walking or jumping, the stimulation piece 24 This stimulation point 24a can stimulate the ankle stimulation part (a) as it is. When the ankle contact member 10 is not installed, the stimulation piece 24 is installed along the inner wall of the footwear upper 120. In this case, the elastic main body 22 and the stimulation piece 24 are manufactured to have larger elasticity. That is, when the ankle contact member 10 is not provided, the ankle stimulating portion (a) may not be completely in close contact with the inner wall of the upper shell 120. Therefore, by using the ankle stimulating member 20 having greater elasticity, the ankle stimulating portion ( This is so that a) can be stimulated.

  Meanwhile, an empty space is provided in the central portion of the elastic body 22 of the ankle stimulating member 20. This part is a part where a wrinkle stimulating member 30 described later is located. As described above, when the heel stimulating part (b) and the ankle stimulating part (a) are simultaneously stimulated, the growth plate is efficiently stimulated, so that the heel stimulating member 30 is installed in the space portion and the heel stimulating part Stimulate (b). This will be described later.

  Next, another embodiment of the ankle stimulating member 20 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), a donut-shaped main body airbag 22 ′ filled with gas and extending upward to the ankle stimulating portion (a) along both sides of the main body airbag 22 ′. And a finger pressure stimulating member 24 having an air moving passage inside. In this case, the main body airbag 22 ′ maintains a donut shape and leaves the central portion as a vacant space in order to install a wrinkle stimulating member 30 described later. Accordingly, the main body airbag 22 ′ is contracted by the applied pressure, and the air corresponding to the contraction amount is moved so that the stimulation point 24a ′ of the finger pressure stimulating material 24 ′ can stimulate the ankle stimulation part (a). . On the other hand, the stimulation point 24a ′ provided at the end of the acupressure stimulation material 24 ′ plays a role of stimulating the ankle stimulation part (a) by expansion by air movement, and expands toward the ankle stimulation part (a). It should be made of a flexible material as much as possible.

  On the other hand, although not shown as a separate drawing, another embodiment of the ankle stimulating member 20 includes a stimulating piece 24 coupled to the end of the ankle contact member 10 made of a flexible material which is the elastic material described above. You can also That is, the stimulation piece 24 made of a material such as a relatively hard plastic is coupled to the end of the ankle contact member 10 where the ankle stimulation portion (a) is located, so that the ankle contact member 10 and the stimulation piece 24 are ankle stimulated. It plays the role of the member 20. In this case, when walking with footwear, the ankle stimulating portion (a) is brought into close contact with the elasticity of the ankle contact member 10, so that the stimulating piece 24 at the end is in direct contact with the ankle stimulating portion. Movement, that is, the walking pattern of stepping from the footpad to the front part of the foot induces natural ankle bending, and by this bending of the ankle part, the stimulating piece 24 coupled to the end causes the ankle stimulating part (a). Stimulate by direct pressure.

  As described above, the ankle stimulating member 20 can be realized in various forms other than the present embodiment as long as it directly stimulates the ankle stimulating part by a force applied by walking, a vertical load, an ankle bending, or the like. I will.

  Next, the wrinkle stimulating member 30 according to the present invention will be described.

  6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the wrinkle stimulating member according to the present invention is installed, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the wrinkle stimulating member and the electrical stimulation member according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the heel stimulating member 30 is installed at a part where the heel of the sole touches, and is made of a material harder than a general outsole material. It is installed in a vacant space in the center of the member 20. The vertical height of the heel stimulating member 30 is set to be slightly lower than the uppermost end height of the ankle stimulating member 20 before contraction, which is for smooth operation of the ankle stimulating member 20. That is, when pressure is applied to the heel, the body surface of the ankle stimulating member 20 must be contracted according to the pressure, so the heel stimulating member 30 is formed low so as to contract to some extent. If they are formed at the same height, the stress concentrates on the heel stimulating member 30 according to the applied pressure, so that the ankle stimulating member 20 cannot be smoothly contracted. In addition, since an excessive impact amount causes a side effect on the body, the contraction of the ankle stimulating member 20 has an appropriate shock absorption capability, and an appropriate stimulus is performed only on the heel stimulating portion (b) in the central portion. It is appropriate that the concentrated stimulation leads to the growth plate stimulation. Therefore, in order to transmit an appropriate amount of impact to the heel stimulation portion (b) simultaneously with the smooth operation of the ankle stimulation member 20, the heel stimulation member 30 has a slightly lower height, It is formed of a separate member such as plastic that is slightly stronger than the sole material.

  As described above, when the ankle stimulating member 20 is constituted by the ankle contact member 10 and the stimulation piece 24, the airbag is installed slightly higher along the periphery of the heel stimulating member 30. This is for alleviating the impact applied to the wrinkle stimulating member 30. That is, as described above, when the ankle member 20 is constituted by the ankle contact member 10 and the stimulation piece 24, the ankle stimulation part (a) is stimulated not by a force due to a vertical load but by a force due to bending of the ankle while walking. To do. Accordingly, since the force due to the vertical load is transmitted to the heel stimulation member 30 as it is, an air bag is installed slightly higher along the periphery of the heel stimulation member 30 in order to reduce the impact caused by excessive walking or the like. It is preferable. Therefore, the force due to the vertical load is first buffered via the airbag, and is transmitted to the heel stimulating member 30 after the airbag has contracted to some extent. Of course, if the outsole can absorb the impact, the heel stimulating member 30 may be installed immediately without a separate airbag.

  Next, the electrical stimulation member 40 according to the present invention will be described.

  The electrical stimulation member 40 plays a role of stimulating the growth plate more smoothly by causing electrical stimulation to the ankle stimulation part (a) and / or the heel stimulation part (b). As described above, for height growth, a growth plate stimulation method by activating the endocrine system by inserting a needle or the like into an acupuncture point is used. To achieve such an object, footwear is used. The electrical stimulation is performed inside.

  In general, low frequency, fine current, and the like have been developed and used as separate devices for therapeutic purposes. Such an electrical stimulation by low frequency or fine current is directly transmitted to the ankle stimulation part (a) or the heel stimulation part (b) so that not only physical stimulation but also electrical stimulation is applied to the growth plate. So that the stimulation is smoother. The electrical stimulation member 40 according to the present invention includes a power generation device 42 that supplies power, and the stimulation of the ankle stimulation member 20 described above in order to directly transmit the supplied electricity to the ankle stimulation unit (a). The stimulation point 24a, 24a 'formed at the end of the piece 24 or the finger pressure stimulation material 24' includes a power generation point 44 made of a conductive material. Of course, the power generation point 44 may be provided on the upper surface of the heel stimulation member 30 so that electrical stimulation is performed on the heel stimulation portion (b). Therefore, it is possible to apply electrical stimulation directly to the ankle stimulation part (a) and the heel stimulation part (b) via the power generation point 44 by electricity supplied from the power generation device 42.

  On the other hand, when the power generation device 42 for generating power for the electrical stimulation member 40 has a low frequency, it is preferable to install a low frequency generation source on the inner surface of the wrinkle stimulation member 30. Therefore, the wrinkle stimulating member 30 is shaped like a case and is a place where the power generation device 42 is installed, and at the same time, can play the role of the wrinkle stimulating member 30 having a higher hardness than the outsole. Since the low-frequency generation source is a general-purpose ordinary device, detailed description thereof is omitted. However, since the low frequency generated from the low frequency generation source uses a relatively high current of several mA, it is not preferable to use it for a long time. Therefore, a timer may be used to operate for an appropriate time, and the operating mechanism may be manually operated by the user or may be turned on / off by pressure applied to the sole. .

  Next, the case where the fine electric current by the said electrical stimulation member 40 is used is demonstrated. The minute current is a current of about microamperes and is usually several tens to several hundreds of microamperes. It is known that such an amount of current plays a beneficial role in the human body, and it is known that a minute current of about 60 microamperes flows inside the human body itself. Such fine currents are currently used in various ways for therapeutic purposes. For example, in Oriental medicine, a needle may be inserted into an acupuncture point, and a fine current may be applied to treat.

  A battery or a piezoelectric sensor may be used as the power generation device 42 for transmitting the fine current described above to the ankle stimulation unit (a) or the heel stimulation unit (b).

  Next, a case where a battery is used as the power generation device 42 will be described. When the battery is used, the rated voltage and current are fixed according to the capacity of the battery. Therefore, in order to generate a fine current, a fine current generation source that converts the current supplied from the battery into a fine current is required. For this purpose, FIG. 8 shows an electric circuit diagram of the power generator 42 according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, a fine current is generated by using a capacitor C, resistors R1 and R2, a transistor Tr, and a variable resistor VR, or a fine current is applied by an internal resistance of the power source generation point 44 itself. The energization of such a fine current may be configured such that the switch is turned on / off by the pressure applied to the sole when walking or jumping. By installing the power generator 42 of the electrical stimulation member 40 having such a configuration inside the heel stimulation member 30 described above, the switch is configured to operate by the pressure applied to the heel stimulation member 30. Therefore, the physical stimulation that the heel stimulating member 30 stimulates the heel stimulating portion by the applied pressure and the electrical stimulation using the energization of a fine current by the electrical stimulation member 40 can be performed simultaneously.

  On the other hand, a case where a fine current is generated using a piezoelectric element as the power generation device 42 will be described.

  Piezoelectric elements are elements that generate current and voltage by pressure when pressure is applied from the outside, and are currently widely used. The amount of current and voltage generated by such a piezoelectric element basically increases in proportion to the external force applied from the outside, but varies depending on the material, the size and form of the element. Although an instantaneous voltage of several volts to several thousand volts can be formed, the amount of current is usually very small. Therefore, in order to generate the fine current required in the present invention, the piezoelectric element is not a single layer, but has a form in which several tens to several hundreds of layers are stacked, and thereby several tens to several hundreds of microamperes. A fine current can be generated.

In general, a piezoelectric element used to generate a voltage of several to several tens of volts and a fine current of several tens to several hundreds of microamperes is a PZT piezoelectric ceramic, such as PbO ₂ , TiO ₂ , ZrO _2, etc. Manufactured by blending raw materials. By stacking such ceramic thick films as necessary, a piezoelectric element having a desired physical property value is manufactured.

  Briefly explaining the current generation principle of a piezoelectric element, a piezoelectric element generates a charge by an applied force, one surface is charged positively, and the other surface is charged negatively. A potential difference is generated. The total charge q on each surface is proportional to the charge transfer displacement x, which is proportional to the applied force.

q = kx = SF
Here, k is a constant, and S is charge sensitivity. This charge sensitivity depends on the substance. Since the total charge amount is determined by the characteristics and size of the substance, a constant current increases depending on the applied force, but a constant current is generated when the force exceeds a certain level.

  The generated voltage is proportional to the applied pressure, that is, the applied force, and the voltage sensitivity also varies depending on the material, and the voltage variation varies depending on the characteristics and size of the material, but the voltage is proportional to the applied force. Keeps increasing. Therefore, the magnitude and characteristics of the current and voltage due to the applied force are elucidated by specific experiments. Theoretically explaining this, there is a piezoelectric coefficient due to the substance among the piezoelectric characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramic. “Piezoelectric coefficient” refers to the amount of charge due to an applied load per unit area. This value is expressed by the following formula.

Piezoelectric coefficient (Q-charge amount, A = area subject to force, F = force)
Therefore, the d ₃₃ value is the amount of charge generated by the force applied to the piezoelectric body.
In general, when a person weighing 50 kg walks or runs, the weight applied to the foot of the footwear increases from 1.5 times to 3 times, and when a person walks, a weight of about 75 kg is generally added. At this time, the force applied to the piezoelectric body is
F = ma = 75 kg × 9.8 m / s ² = 750 N
The amount of charge generated when a force of 750 N is applied to a PZT piezoelectric ceramic with d ₃₃ = 1300 pC / N is:
1300pC / N × 750N = 9.75 × 10 ⁻⁷ C
The time during which the heel of the footwear is in contact with the ground is usually 0.5 to 1 second, but assuming 1 second,
I = 0.975 μA, and in the case of 0.5 seconds, it is doubled, so 1.950 μA.
Therefore, (1) when a person with a weight of 60 kg walks, when the weight is about 75 kg and the time is about 1 second, a current of 0.975 μA is generated in the piezoelectric body made of one thick film, 2) When a person weighing 60 kg runs, when the weight is about 150 kg and the time is about 0.5 seconds, a current of 2.94 μA is generated in the piezoelectric body.
Therefore, when 100 layers of piezoelectric ceramics having the piezoelectric coefficient value are stacked, the current value increases by a factor of 100, so that the value becomes 97.5 μA when walking and 294 μA when running.
When calculating the voltage from the current value,
In V = IR (the resistance of the piezoelectric body itself is about 90,000Ω),
When walking, it becomes 97.5μA × 90,000Ω = 8.78V,
When running, it becomes 294 μA × 90,000Ω = 26.46V.
Since the above calculation is a theoretical value, it does not show 100% characteristics when actually manufacturing an actuator, but in the case of a human body weighing 60 kg,
The current is about 90 μA to about 300 μA,
The voltage has a value of about 8V to about 26V.
Therefore, in consideration of such matters, when a person walks or runs while wearing footwear, the amount of fine current generated is several tens to several hundreds, and the voltage at this time is several volts to several tens of volts. .
When the piezoelectric element as described above is used as the power generation device 42, the piezoelectric element may be installed inside the wrinkle stimulating member 30. Therefore, a current and a voltage are generated by the piezoelectric element in proportion to the pressure applied by the heel stimulation member 30, and the heel stimulation member 30 itself can simultaneously achieve the effect of transmitting the stimulation by the pressure as it is to the heel stimulation portion (b). .
As described above, the power generation device 42 required by the present invention is a device that generates a low frequency or a minute current and is installed inside the footwear. It is preferable to install inside the heel stimulating member 30 depending on the limit. Of course, when the device is further reduced in weight and size by reducing the size of the device, other positions are not impossible. However, by installing the device inside the heel stimulating member 30, various advantages such as narrowing of the space can be achieved. And the protection from external impact occurs.
On the other hand, the power generation point 44 provided at the end of the above-described ankle stimulating part (a) or heel stimulating part (b) may be any metal that can conduct electricity. Such a power generation point 44 can be formed by various methods such as adhesion of a metal piece or application of a metal material on the stimulation points 24a, 24a ′ of the ankle stimulation member 20 or the upper surface of the heel stimulation member. What is necessary is just to make it electrically connect between the said power generator 42 and the power generation point 44. FIG. That is, since the wrinkle stimulating member 30 serves as a case containing the power generation device 42, an electrical lead is formed from the inside of the case to an appropriate place outside, and the electrical lead 46 is connected to the power generation point 44. What should I do? In the case where the power generation point 44 is formed at the stimulation points 24a and 24a ′ of the ankle stimulation member 20, a conductor is formed on the outer surface or the inner surface of the acupressure stimulation member 24 ′ or the stimulation piece 24 of the ankle stimulation member 20 described above. Electricity is made to pass through the power generation point 44. When the power generation point 44 is formed on the upper surface of the wrinkle stimulation member 30, the power generation device 42 in the wrinkle stimulation member may be electrically connected to the upper surface of the wrinkle stimulation member. Therefore, the ankle stimulating portion (a) and the heel stimulating portion (b) receive a double stimulus of a physical stimulus and an electrical stimulus generated by an external force. As a result, the growth plate can be stimulated more smoothly.
Next, an operation process of a functional footwear according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 9 is a view showing the operation of the footwear according to the present invention. The left side view of FIG. 9 shows a state before the foot is pressed while wearing the footwear, and the right side view of FIG. 9 shows a state after the foot is pressed while wearing the footwear. As shown in the left side view of FIG. 9, the user repeatedly presses the heel counter 130 of the footwear while the footwear is worn so that air is injected through the air inlet 10a ′. As a result of the above process, air flows into the airbag of the ankle contact member 10 and the airbag is inflated by the inflowed air, so that the airbag can be in close contact with the recessed portion of the ankle stimulating portion (a). In this case, since the ankle stimulating member 20 is provided along the outer surface of the ankle contact member 10, the stimulation point 24a provided at the end of the stimulation piece 24 of the ankle stimulation member 20 is in contact with the ankle stimulation unit. The state is made.
As described above, after the setting of the ankle contact member 10 is completed, daily activities such as walking or jumping are performed while wearing footwear, as shown in the right side view of FIG. When pressure is applied to the sole by walking or jumping, the elastic body 22 of the ankle stimulating member 20 contracts due to the pressure applied to the heel. Depending on the degree of contraction of the elastic body 22, the stimulation pieces 24 located on both sides move, and the stimulation points 24a provided at the ends of the stimulation pieces 24 stimulate the ankle stimulation part (a).
The elastic body 22 can be contracted only until the sole of the heel reaches the upper surface of the heel stimulating member 30. The pressure by the sole is exerted on the heel stimulating member 30. In this case, since the wrinkle stimulating member 30 has a hardness higher than the hardness of the outsole, the portion corresponding to the wrinkle stimulating portion (b) receives relatively more stimuli, and the stimulation is transmitted to the wrinkle stimulating portion.
On the other hand, since the piezoelectric element is installed inside the wrinkle stimulating member 30, current and voltage are generated from the piezoelectric element in accordance with the pressure applied to the wrinkle stimulating member 30. The generated voltage and current are directly applied to the ankle stimulation part (a) via the power generation point provided at the end stimulation point of the ankle stimulation member 20 and provided on the upper surface of the heel stimulation member 30. Electrical stimulation is directly applied to the wrinkle stimulation unit (b) through the power generation point. Accordingly, physical stimulation and electrical stimulation are simultaneously transmitted to the ankle stimulation unit (a) and the heel stimulation unit (b). Such stimulation immediately gives more stimulation to the ankle and knee cartilage growth plates to promote growth hormone secretion.
When the force is removed while the heel is lifted by walking, there is no pressure applied to the ankle stimulation member 20, the heel stimulation member 30, and the electrical stimulation member 40, so no stimulation is performed. Therefore, natural stimulation transmission is achieved by performing physical and electrical stimulation cyclically and repetitively on the ankle stimulation unit (a) and the heel stimulation unit (b) by the force momentarily applied to the heel during walking. Can be repeated.
The above shows the case where the ankle contact member 10 is an airbag. However, when the ankle contact member 10 is made of an elastic material as described above, the elastic material is in accordance with the shape of the heel at the same time as the footwear is worn even without a separate airbag injection process. In close contact. Further, when the ankle stimulating member 20 is also in the form of an air bag, it is natural that the ankle stimulating member 20 is operated by air movement due to pressure.
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described. In this embodiment, a case where a fastening band is used as the ankle contact member is shown, and a case where a battery is used as the power generation device is shown.
The upper end edge of the footwear is completely covered with the ankle by the fastening band. In this case, the ankle stimulating portion (a) usually adheres to the inner surface of the footwear shell to some extent. However, a user such as a human who has a weak rear part of the ankle may not completely adhere the ankle stimulating part (a) to the inner surface of the crust.
In this case as well, when pressure is applied by the sole, the horizontal movement of the stimulation piece or the acupressure stimulating material is sufficiently performed by 0.5 mm or more due to the contraction of the ankle stimulating member. Can communicate. By turning on the contact switch according to the pressure applied to the heel stimulating member, a fine current can be transmitted to the ankle stimulating portion (a) and the heel stimulating portion (b). When the pressure is released, the switch is further turned off, the power supply is interrupted, and no physical stimulation is performed.
As another example, in the case where the ankle stimulating member 20 is simply the stimulating piece 24 coupled to the end of the ankle contact member 10, the ankle stimulation is performed by a physical force due to a walking pattern rather than a vertical load applied to the foot. Part (a) is stimulated. That is, the ankle stimulating member 20 shown in FIG. 9 is formed in such a way that the force due to the vertical load is transmitted to both sides of the ankle stimulating portion to stimulate the ankle stimulating portion (a). In the case of using the stimulation piece 24 coupled to the portion, the ankle stimulation portion can be stimulated by bending the ankle by walking instead of having no force that can be transmitted to the side surface by the vertical load.
More specifically, the stimulation piece 24 is in contact with the ankle stimulation portion (a) by the elasticity of the ankle contact member 10. At this time, the degree to which the stimulation piece 24 stimulates the ankle stimulation part (a) is determined simply according to the elasticity and material of the ankle contact member 10, and the ankle stimulation part (a) is stimulated with a certain force. It is in a state. When walking in this state, the form of stepping on the foot is the form of stepping on the front part of the sole from the heel of the foot. At this time, the ankle is bent forward from the moment when it is stood in the right posture at the moment of stepping on the front part of the sole, and the stimulation piece 24 coupled to the end of the foot contact member 10 by the bending is By further closely contacting the ankle stimulating portion (a), the ankle stimulating portion (a) can be further stimulated. In this case, it is a matter of course that electrical stimulation is performed via the stimulation piece 24 not only by the heel stimulation member but also by the electrical stimulation member.
As described above, in the present invention, physical stimulation and electrical stimulation are simultaneously performed on the ankle stimulation portion and the heel stimulation portion by the force applied during walking. However, it is obvious that various forms required by the present invention are possible.
