STEP-COUNTING SHOE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A step-counting shoe, comprising:
- a shoe body having a bottom;
a power generation device configured to the bottom, comprising;
a first housing having an at least one first halving joint;
a second housing having an at least one second halving joint, wherein the second halving joint is removably assembled to the first halving joint for forming a space between the first housing and the second housing;
a magnetic component mounted on the first housing and inside the space;
an induction coil mounted on the second housing and inside the space, the induction coil configured around the periphery of the magnetic component; and
a first piezoelectricity module configured between the magnetic component and the second housing;
a pedometer device coupled with the power generation device, utilized for recording a number of steps; and
a display device coupled with the power generation device, the display device having an at least one LED unit, and utilized for showing the number of steps;
wherein, when the power generation device is applied with a force, relative motion is produced between the first housing and the second housing for causing the induction coil to generate a magnetic flux to produce an induced current, and meanwhile, the first piezoelectricity module absorbs the pressure between the magnetic component and the second housing to produce a first electric charge.

Abstract
A step-counting shoe comprises a power generation device, a pedometer device, and a display device. When the step-counting shoe is applied with a force, the power generation device produces electrical energy by electromagnetic induction or piezoelectric effect without external power supply, so as to generate power for the pedometer device and the display device automatically during the user walking. Additionally, the present invention provides a variety of types of power generation devices, so a suitable power generation device can be adopted depending on the power demand, thickness of step-counting shoe, and/or costs.
