The vibrator 30 is configured such that the eccentric cam 32 is installed on the shaft of the vibration motor 31 so that the eccentric cam 32 is rotated and vibrated by the driving of the vibration motor 31.

In addition, a second guide groove 12 is formed at the rear of the first guide groove 11 so that the control circuit 40 for generating the driving signal of the vibrator 30 and the user put on the shoes by stepping on the shoes. The switch 50 provided so that a contact is ON is provided.

In addition, a third guide groove 13 is formed at the rear of the second guide groove 12 to install a battery 60 for supplying the operating power of the vibrator 30 and the control circuit 40. .

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the vibrator and the vibration support member according to the present invention, the vibration support member 20, a cylindrical motor insertion chamber 21 is formed on the upper surface of the vibration motor 31 is inserted and fixed It is composed of a structure in which the support portion 22 is formed integrally with the motor insertion chamber 21 and both sides are bent downward. The vibration support member 20 serves to secure the vibration motor 31 and to transmit vibration, but since the support part 22 is bent downward from both sides, the vibration of the vibration motor 31 is upward. It serves to convey.

3 is a block diagram of a control circuit 40 according to the present invention, as shown therein. In the case of walking with shoes, the elastic piece is pressed to contact with the contact point, and when the pressure is released, the elastic piece is restored to fall off the contact point and the input unit for receiving the signal of the switch 50 as a trigger signal. When the switch-on signal is input from the input unit 41, the drive signal for operating the vibration motor 31 is output for a predetermined period of time, and the vibration is performed once. After the completion of the control, the controller maintains the standby state irrespective of the switch signal for a predetermined vibration cycle time to wait for the next vibration, and controls the vibration by the switch signal after the vibration cycle time elapses. 42 and a drive unit 43 for driving the vibration motor 31 based on the drive signal of the vibration motor 31 of the control unit 42.

Here, as a specific embodiment of the control circuit 40, the control unit 42 uses a timer IC, the input unit 41 is configured to receive as a trigger signal using the capacitor (C1) and the resistor (R2) The driver 43 includes a transistor Q1 and a resistor R1 so that the transistor Q1 is switched by a control signal of the controller 42 to supply power of the battery 60 to the vibration motor 31. can do.

In addition, the insole 100a of the shoe is configured to further include a vibration transmission member 101 on the upper surface of the vibrator 30, the vibration transmission member 101, the configuration in which a plurality of protrusions protrude to the upper surface. It is configured to obtain acupressure effect. And, the upper portion of the switch 50 is configured to further include a pressing member 51 so that the switch can be accurately pressed.

When the user walks while wearing shoes, the vibrating apparatus of the present invention configured as described above condenses (C1) of the input unit 41 when the elastic piece of the switch 50 is pressed to come into contact with the contact, and the power comes in contact with the contact. And a trigger signal are applied to the controller 42 through the resistor R2. Accordingly, the control unit 42 drives the vibration motor 31 through the drive unit 42 for a predetermined time, and when the vibration motor 31 is driven, vibration is generated by the rotation of the eccentric cam 32 built into the motor shaft. Is generated.

The vibration of the vibrator 30 is transmitted to the vibration support member 20, the vibration support member 20 is vibrated to obtain the effect of massaging the sole of the user. At this time, while the vibration transmission member 101 attached to the insole 100a transmits the vibration more effectively, the acupressure effect can be obtained by the projection.

On the other hand, the control unit 42 uses a timer IC, the control unit 42 is subjected to the vibration control in the control flow as shown in FIG.

First, it is determined whether the switch 50 on signal is input (S1). If the switch S1 is turned on, it is determined whether the vibration mode or the standby mode (S2). In the vibration mode, after the initial delay of 5 seconds (S3), the drive signal for turning on the vibration motor 31 is output (S4). With the vibration motor 31 turned on, the vibration motor was checked until one preset vibration time (30 seconds as an example, but can be changed by the designer) was set. 31) by controlling the vibration to be continuous by maintaining the on state (S5). Subsequently, when the one vibration time is completed, the vibration motor 31 is turned off (S6), the vibration mode is released, and the mode is switched to the standby mode (S7).

On the other hand, in the standby mode instead of the vibration mode, the waiting time until the start of the next vibration (in this case, 20 minutes is used as an example, but this can be arbitrarily changed by the designer) has elapsed, that is, 20 minutes after the vibration is over. Check whether elapsed (S8). If the waiting time elapses after the vibration is finished, the standby mode is released and the vibration mode is switched (S9). Then, the process returns to the step S1 of checking whether the switch is turned on.

Therefore, in the present invention, when the switch is initially turned on, the vibration motor 31 is continuously driven for 30 seconds after a delay of 5 seconds. At this time, the vibration motor 31 is continuously driven for 30 seconds by one switch on signal regardless of the on / off of the switch 50. Thereafter, after 30 seconds have elapsed, the vibration motor 31 is turned off and then the standby mode is switched.

Standby mode means the waiting time until the next vibration after one vibration (vibration for 30 seconds), about 15-20 minutes is set as the standby time. During the waiting time after the vibration ends, the vibration motor 31 is turned off regardless of the on / off of the switch 50 so that vibration is not generated. After that, when the waiting time elapses, the signal of the switch 50 is input again to control vibration for 30 seconds.

On the other hand, without being limited to the method as shown in FIG. 4, as another embodiment, first, the initial mode is set to the vibration mode, and it is determined whether the vibration mode or the standby mode is switched on in the vibration mode. Judge. When the switch on signal is input for the first time, the vibration mode time for checking the vibration mode (for example, 3 to 5 minutes) starts counting, and the vibration motor 31 is turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) by the switch on signal. Let's do it. Subsequently, after 5 seconds of turning on the vibration motor, it is determined whether the switch-on signal is input again, and the vibration motor 31 is driven for 5 seconds each time the switch is turned on. When the vibration mode time (5 minutes) is finished, the mode is switched to the standby mode, and the counting of the standby mode time (eg, 15 to 20 minutes) is started. In the standby mode, the vibration motor 31 is operated regardless of the switch signal. Keep it off.

By adding a selection switch for selecting one embodiment and another embodiment of FIG. 4 described above, the user can select a vibration method to be used more effectively.

The reason why the vibration is controlled by the switch operation at regular time intervals by separating the vibration mode and the standby mode may be a burden for the user when the vibration control is performed by directly synchronizing the switch on / off. By giving the stimulation caused by the vibration to be able to use comfortably without rejection. In addition, the controller 41 can determine the mode of the vibration mode and the standby mode, the time check, and the like, which can be constituted by a simple logic circuit by each signal processing.

On the other hand, as an application of the present invention, it is possible to further add a charging device for extending the life of the battery 60, it is configured by adding a switch for turning on / off the entire power source.

In another application, a trigger signal is generated every time the shoe is pressed on the rear axle of the shoe, and the vibration motor 31 is driven for a predetermined time (for example, 5-10 seconds) each time the push switch of the shoe is turned on. It can also be configured to control the vibration by manual selection. When the push switch is added, the control unit 41 ignores the standby mode and the vibration mode and preferentially processes the control by the push switch.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since the vibrator is mounted on the shoe and the vibration is driven for a predetermined time as the switch is pressed, the foot is vibrated by simply wearing the shoe. In addition, since the vibration is controlled by the switch after waiting for a predetermined time after the one-time vibration is finished, there is an effect that the user can comfortably use without refusing to react to the continuous vibration.
