Description
本發明係關於一種穿戴式足型足壓量測裝置,特別地,本發明係關於一種可同時量測足型及足壓的穿戴式足型足壓量測裝置。 The present invention relates to a wearable foot type foot pressure measuring device, and more particularly to a wearable foot type foot pressure measuring device capable of simultaneously measuring foot type and foot pressure.
鞋子乃現代人不可或缺的生活用品之一,其可保護穿戴者於地面跑步或行走時不會傷到腳底,並適當的提供摩擦力使穿戴者更輕易的活動,而鞋子外觀也是裝飾的一環。除了外在的保護或裝飾之外,鞋子是否穿得舒適也是穿戴者或消費者於購買鞋子時的重要考量。藉由調整鞋子尺寸、鞋墊形狀以及透氣程度等不同因素,可使穿戴者更舒適地進行行走或跑步等運動。若長期穿著不適合的鞋子,除了足部可能疼痛、變形之外,還可能影響到站姿甚至脊椎側彎而導致病變。因此,除了推出各種不同尺寸、形狀的鞋子或鞋墊供消費者自行選擇適合其足型的鞋子之外,市面上還有提供客製化鞋子及鞋墊的服務。 Shoes are one of the indispensable daily necessities of modern people. They protect the wearer from running on the ground or walking without hurting the soles of the feet, and provide appropriate friction to make the wearer move more easily. The appearance of the shoes is also decorated. A ring. In addition to external protection or decoration, whether the shoes are worn comfortably is also an important consideration for the wearer or consumer when purchasing shoes. By adjusting the size of the shoe, the shape of the insole, and the degree of breathability, the wearer can more comfortable walking or running. If you wear unsuitable shoes for a long time, in addition to the pain and deformation of the foot, it may affect the standing position and even the scoliosis and cause the lesion. Therefore, in addition to the introduction of shoes or insoles of various sizes and shapes for consumers to choose the shoes suitable for their feet, there are also services for providing customized shoes and insoles on the market.
要推出客製化鞋子及鞋墊,首先必須精確地量測消費者的足型以及足壓。通常足型與足壓的量測是分開進行的,而分開量測需要使用兩種儀器,使用上須經過兩道量測程序,較為不便。目前市 面上已經有可以同時量測足型以及足壓的儀器,然而,此類儀器通常是非穿戴式的,消費者必須將腳放入一個量測儀器中並踩踏儀器底部,透過儀器內的光學掃描量測足型,且透過儀器底部的壓力感測器感測足壓分佈。此類可同時量測足型與足壓的儀器僅能量測消費者於站立不動時的足壓分佈,而無法量測運動時的足壓分佈,故無法針對消費者運動狀態來客製化。另一方面,此類可同時量測足型與足壓的儀器的製造成本也相當昂貴。 To introduce customized shoes and insoles, the consumer's foot and foot pressure must first be accurately measured. Usually the measurement of foot and foot pressure is carried out separately, and the separate measurement requires the use of two instruments, which are subject to two measurement procedures, which is inconvenient. Current city There are already instruments that can measure foot and foot pressure at the same time. However, such instruments are usually non-wearable. Consumers must put their feet in a measuring instrument and step on the bottom of the instrument through the optical scanning inside the instrument. The foot shape is measured and the pressure distribution is sensed by a pressure sensor at the bottom of the instrument. Such an instrument capable of simultaneously measuring foot and foot pressure only measures the distribution of foot pressure when the consumer is standing still, and cannot measure the distribution of foot pressure during exercise, so it cannot be customized for the state of motion of the consumer. On the other hand, the cost of manufacturing such instruments that measure both foot and foot pressure is also quite expensive.
因此,有必要設計一種能同時量測消費者之足型以及運動時之足壓分佈,且成本較低的足型足壓量測裝置。 Therefore, it is necessary to design a foot-foot pressure measuring device capable of simultaneously measuring the foot shape of the consumer and the distribution of the foot pressure during exercise, and having a low cost.

Please note that FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the inside of the palm portion 100, the heel portion 102, and the ankle-fixing portion 104 of the foot-type foot pressure measuring device 1 of FIG. 1 , only the illustration of the specific portion is omitted, and Figure 1 foot type pressure measurement Setting 1 is no different.
橫向支撐件11進一步包含兩個橫向固定單元110,分別設置於彈性穿戴物件10的足掌部100之兩側,且橫向支撐件11進一步包含連接兩橫向固定單元110之橫向連接單元112,其中,橫向連接單元112可包含不具有彈性的第一尺條1120以及第一旋轉收納機構1122,如圖二及圖三所示。第一旋轉收納機構1122於本具體實施例中係位於足掌部100的內部,且對應使用者的足背,故於使用者運動時不至於踩到第一旋轉收納機構1122而造成其損壞。當足掌部100被使用者的足掌撐開時,第一尺條1120被兩橫向固定單元110拉出第一旋轉收納機構1122,使得第一尺條1120自第一旋轉收納機構1122伸出的長度大致上符合足掌部100的寬度,換言之,大致上符合使用者的足掌寬度。 The lateral support member 11 further includes two lateral fixing units 110 respectively disposed on both sides of the sole 100 of the elastic wearing article 10, and the lateral supporting member 11 further includes a lateral connecting unit 112 connecting the two lateral fixing units 110, wherein The lateral connection unit 112 may include a first ruler 1120 that is not elastic and a first rotation accommodation mechanism 1122, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In the present embodiment, the first rotating storage mechanism 1122 is located inside the palm portion 100 and corresponds to the back of the user, so that the user does not step on the first rotating storage mechanism 1122 when the user moves to cause damage. When the palm portion 100 is opened by the user's foot, the first ruler 1120 is pulled out of the first rotation accommodation mechanism 1122 by the two lateral fixing units 110, so that the first ruler 1120 protrudes from the first rotation accommodation mechanism 1122. The length generally corresponds to the width of the foot portion 100, in other words, substantially conforms to the width of the user's foot.
橫向量測件13可連接橫向支撐件11,更進一步地,可連接到橫向連接單元112之第一旋轉收納機構1122,藉此得到自第一旋轉收納機構1122伸出之第一尺條1120的長度。例如,橫向量測件13可為旋轉編碼器或者是電位計的其中之一,而第一旋轉收納機構1122可將第一尺條1120旋轉收納,因此透過旋轉編碼器或者是電位計可區分出第一旋轉收納機構1122之旋轉結構的旋轉圈數及位置,並配合旋轉結構之直徑長度即可計算出釋出之第一尺條1120的目前長度。或者,第一尺條1120上可帶有刻度編碼,藉此,橫向量測件13可量得第一旋轉收納機構1122釋出或伸出之第一尺條1120的刻度數量,並根據刻度數量計算而得到第一尺條1120釋出之目前長度,以得到使用者的足掌寬度。 The lateral measuring member 13 can be coupled to the lateral support member 11 and, further, can be coupled to the first rotational accommodation mechanism 1122 of the lateral connection unit 112, thereby obtaining the first ruler 1120 extending from the first rotational accommodation mechanism 1122. length. For example, the lateral measuring member 13 can be one of a rotary encoder or a potentiometer, and the first rotating storage mechanism 1122 can rotate the first ruler 1120, so that it can be distinguished by a rotary encoder or a potentiometer. The current rotation length of the rotating structure of the first rotating storage mechanism 1122 and the diameter of the rotating structure can be used to calculate the current length of the first ruler 1120 that is released. Alternatively, the first ruler 1120 can be provided with a scale code, whereby the lateral measure 13 can measure the number of scales of the first ruler 1120 released or extended by the first rotary storage mechanism 1122, and according to the number of scales. The current length of the first ruler 1120 is calculated to obtain the user's foot width.
請注意,雖然本具體實施例中橫向量測件13與第一旋轉收納機構1122為相互連接的兩個單元且同樣設置於腳掌部100之內部,如圖三所示,但於實務中,橫向量測件13可直接建立於第一旋轉收納機構1122的殼體中,以直接量測得到第一旋轉收納機構1122釋出或伸出之第一尺條1120的目前長度。 Please note that in the embodiment, the lateral measuring member 13 and the first rotating storage mechanism 1122 are two units connected to each other and are also disposed inside the sole 100, as shown in FIG. 3, but in practice, the horizontal direction The measuring member 13 can be directly established in the housing of the first rotating storage mechanism 1122 to directly measure the current length of the first ruler 1120 released or extended by the first rotating storage mechanism 1122.
同樣地,縱向支撐件12進一步包含兩個縱向固定單元120,分別設置於足掌部100之前端與足跟部102之後端,此外,縱向支撐件12進一步包含連接兩縱向固定單元120之縱向連接單元122。同樣地,縱向連接單元122可包含不具有彈性的第二尺條1220以及第二旋轉收納機構1222。當使用者穿著彈性穿戴物件時,第二尺條1220被兩縱向固定單元120拉出第二旋轉收納機構1222,使得第二尺條1220自第二旋轉收納機構1222伸出的長度大致上符合彈性穿戴物件10的長度,換言之,大致上符合使用者的足部長度。 Similarly, the longitudinal support member 12 further includes two longitudinal fixing units 120 respectively disposed at the front end of the sole portion 100 and the rear end of the heel portion 102. Further, the longitudinal support member 12 further includes a longitudinal connection connecting the two longitudinal fixing units 120. Unit 122. Likewise, the longitudinal connection unit 122 may include a second ruler 1220 that is not resilient and a second rotation accommodation mechanism 1222. When the user wears the elastic wearing article, the second ruler 1220 is pulled out of the second rotating storage mechanism 1222 by the two longitudinal fixing units 120, so that the length of the second ruler 1220 protruding from the second rotating receiving mechanism 1222 is substantially elastic. The length of the article of wear 10, in other words, substantially conforms to the length of the user's foot.
同樣地,橫向量測件14可連接縱向支撐件12,更進一步地,可連接到縱向連接單元之第二旋轉收納機構1222,藉此得到自第二旋轉收納機構1222伸出之第二尺條1220的長度。於實務中,縱向量測件14可為旋轉編碼器或者是電位計的其中之一,且第二尺條1220上帶有刻度編碼,藉此,縱向量測件14可量得第二旋轉收納機構1222釋出或伸出之第二尺條1220的刻度數量,並根據刻度數量計算而得到第二尺條1220釋出之目前長度,以得到使用者的足部長度。 Similarly, the lateral measuring member 14 can be coupled to the longitudinal support member 12, and further, can be coupled to the second rotary housing mechanism 1222 of the longitudinally coupled unit, thereby obtaining a second ruler extending from the second rotational accommodation mechanism 1222. The length of 1220. In practice, the longitudinal measuring member 14 can be one of a rotary encoder or a potentiometer, and the second ruler 1220 is provided with a scale code, whereby the longitudinal measuring member 14 can measure the second rotating storage. The number of scales of the second ruler 1220 released or extended by the mechanism 1222 is calculated based on the number of scales to obtain the current length of the second ruler 1220 to obtain the length of the user's foot.
上述具體實施例中,橫向連接單元112及縱向連接單元122係以旋轉收納機構搭配非彈性尺條之方式量測對準使用者足部以 得到長度,然而,於實務中,橫向連接單元及縱向連接單元也可為彈性尺條之形式,直接縫合於彈性穿戴物件上,因此橫向連接單元及縱向連接單元可隨彈性穿戴物件伸縮貼合使用者足部,進而獲得足部尺寸。 In the above specific embodiment, the lateral connecting unit 112 and the longitudinal connecting unit 122 measure the alignment of the user's foot with the rotating storage mechanism and the inelastic ruler. The length is obtained. However, in practice, the lateral connecting unit and the longitudinal connecting unit may also be in the form of elastic strips, which are directly sewn to the elastic wearing article, so that the horizontal connecting unit and the longitudinal connecting unit can be used for telescopic fitting with the elastic wearing articles. The foot is then the foot size.
此外,於本具體實施例中,彈性穿戴物件10的足底部106還具有複數個壓力感測器15。當使用者穿戴彈性穿戴物件10時,足底部106因彈性而與使用者足底緊密接觸,而壓力感測器15也同時與使用者足底接觸。當使用者穿戴彈性穿戴物件10進行運動時,各壓力感測器15可分別感測使用者足部之對應位置的壓力,亦即足壓。 Moreover, in the present embodiment, the foot bottom 106 of the elastic wearing article 10 also has a plurality of pressure sensors 15. When the user wears the elastic wearing article 10, the sole 106 is in close contact with the sole of the user due to the elasticity, and the pressure sensor 15 is also in contact with the sole of the user at the same time. When the user wears the elastic wearing article 10 for exercise, each pressure sensor 15 can respectively sense the pressure of the corresponding position of the user's foot, that is, the foot pressure.
於圖一中,壓力感測器15之數量為3個,分別設置於彈性穿戴元件10之足底部106的前側、中側與後側,因此,可同時量測使用者運動時的前足掌、足中央或足弓、以及足跟的壓力。雖然本具體實施例的壓力感測器15之數量為3個,但於實務中,還可分散設置更多的壓力感測器於足底部,以更精確地獲得使用者從事各種運動時足底的壓力分佈,以進行後續應用,例如以雙腳足壓分布判斷使用者靜止時或運動時是否姿勢不正,或者利用量測到的壓力進行各種裝置之控制等。壓力感測器感測後之壓力數據於實務中可由另一個設置於穿戴式足型足壓量測裝置1上的電子裝置或處理器收集,並透過有線或無線傳輸方式傳送給外部的處理裝置,例如手機或平板電腦,來進行使用者足底壓力的分析;或者,壓力感測器本身即可透過無線傳輸方式將量測到的壓力數據直接傳送至外部電子處理裝置進行計算分析。 In FIG. 1 , the number of the pressure sensors 15 is three, which are respectively disposed on the front side, the middle side and the rear side of the foot bottom 106 of the elastic wearing component 10 , so that the forefoot of the user during exercise can be simultaneously measured. The pressure of the center of the foot or the arch of the foot, as well as the heel. Although the number of the pressure sensors 15 of the specific embodiment is three, in practice, more pressure sensors can be disposed on the bottom of the foot to more accurately obtain the sole of the user when performing various exercises. The pressure distribution is used for subsequent applications, for example, to determine whether the user is not in a posture when the user is stationary or during exercise, or to control the various devices using the measured pressure. The pressure data sensed by the pressure sensor can be collected by an electronic device or processor disposed on the wearable foot pressure measuring device 1 and transmitted to an external processing device by wire or wireless transmission.
