Modular sole structure
Abstract
The present invention provides a modular sole structure, including a sole and at least one convex arranged on the sole. An anti-wear block, which is removable and matches with the convex, is mounted at the bottom of the convex near the ground, The modular sole structure provided by the invention can form a modular sole structure by mounting a removable anti-wear block to the sole. 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 wearing-out of the sole structure. Because of this, the life-span of the shoes is prolonged, and the undesirable walking posture caused by the wearing-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.
Claims

3 . The modular sole structure of claim 2 , wherein a snap-fit is formed on either the outer surface of the convex or the inner surface of the fixing fin, a slot is formed in the other, the snap-fit is removably clip-fixed in the slot.
4 . The modular sole structure of claim 2 , wherein an external thread is arranged at the outer surface of the convex, and an internal thread is arranged at the inner surface of the fixing fin, the internal thread and the external thread are in threaded connection.
5 . The modular sole structure of claim 2 , wherein the amount of the convex is at least two, the convexes comprise a first convex and a second convex, the first convex is removably equipped with a first anti-wear block, the second convex is removably equipped with a second anti-wear block, the thickness of the anti-wear pad in the first anti-wear block is larger than the thickness of the anti-wear pad in the second anti-wear block, or the wear resistance of the anti-wear pad in the first anti-wear block is higher than that of the anti-wear pad in the second anti-wear block.
6 . The modular sole structure of claim 2 , wherein an anti-slip strip or anti-slip cleat is arranged at the bottom of the anti-wear pad.
7 . The modular sole structure of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the convex is multiple, the multiple convexes are separated from each other by concaves, and an anti-wear block, which is removable and matches with the convex, is mounted at the bottom of each convex.
8 . The modular sole structure of claim 7 , wherein the multiple convexes are merely arranged at the heel part of the sole.
9 . The modular sole structure of claim 7 , wherein the multiple convex are arranged at both the heel part and the forefoot part of the sole.
10 . The modular sole structure of claim 1 , wherein an airbag room is formed in the convex, and an airbag is mounted in the airbag room, the airbag room and the airbag are stretchable and compressible.
11 . The modular sole structure of claim 10 , wherein every two of the convexes are arranged in a row along the left-to-right direction, and the airbags in each row of the two convexes are connected by a connecting tube.
12 . The modular sole structure of claim 11 , wherein the modular sole structure further comprises a shoe insert on the sole, and a connecting tube groove is formed in the bottom surface of the shoe insert, the connecting tube groove is used to contain the connecting tube.
13 . The modular sole structure of claim 11 , wherein a connecting tube groove is formed in the upper surface of the sole, the connecting tube groove is used to contain the connecting tube.
14 . The modular sole structure of claim 10 , wherein the airbag connects with an air vent, the air vent is used to inflate or deflate the airbag.
15 . The modular sole structure of claim 10 , wherein the modular sole structure further comprises an air pressure sensor used to detect the air pressure in the airbag.
16 . The modular sole structure of claim 15 , wherein the modular sole structure further comprises an RF transceiver/receiver, which is used to transfer the air pressure condition of the airbag detected by the air pressure sensor to a mobile terminal of the user.
17 . The modular sole structure of claim 16 , wherein the modular sole structure further comprises a controller connecting with the RF transceiver/receiver, the controller is used to provide suggested air pressure based on the walking state of the user and the road condition, and to transfer the suggested air pressure to the mobile terminal of the user by the RF transceiver/receiver.
18 . The modular sole structure of claim 10 , wherein the modular sole structure further comprises a built-in air charging device, when the airbag needs inflating, it is inflated by the air charging device.
19 . The modular sole structure of claim 18 , wherein the air charging device is a manual air charging device, which comprises an inflation button, the airbag is manually inflated by operating the inflation button.
20 . The modular sole structure of claim 18 , wherein the air charging device is an automatic air charging device, the modular sole structure further comprises a RF transceiver/receiver and a controller, the controller connects with the air charging device and the RF transceiver/receiver, when the RF transceiver/receiver receives an inflation instruction sent from a mobile terminal, the controller controls the air charging device to automatically inflate the airbag.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
