Abstract

The present invention relates to a customized insole temperature controller, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a customized insole temperature controller for controlling power supply and temperature solely by a wire leading out of a heating sheet, without adding a separate sensor to the insole, thereby preventing any fire or damage to the human body resulting from overheating, and thereby heating a thermoplastic resin to the target softening temperature and maintaining the same. To this end, the present invention provides a temperature controller for supplying a customized insole with power, comprising: a heating sheet comprising a heating unit having a resistor and an electrode printed on an insulation sheet; and a thermoplastic resin sheet provided beneath the heating sheet and deformed according to the temperature of the heating unit, and, as the technical gist of the present invention, the temperature controller comprises: a switching unit connected in series to an end of the electrode of the heating sheet to connect/disconnect a power supply; a current detection unit connected in series between a source of the switching unit and an end of the power supply; a voltage detection unit for detecting a power voltage using partial voltage resistance; a DC power unit for dropping AC power, rectifying the same, and supplying DC power; a temperature detection unit for detecting ambient temperature; a manipulation/display unit having buttons for function manipulation and a display for operation state display formed thereon; and a control unit electrically connected with elements ranging from the switching unit to the manipulation/display unit to transmit/receive a power voltage supply or control signal and control the temperature of the heating sheet according to a preset algorithm.

Claims

and a thermoplastic resin sheet provided beneath the heating sheet and deformed according to the temperature of the heating unit, comprising;

a switching unit connected in series to an end of the electrode of the heating sheet to connect/disconnect a power supply;

a current detection unit connected in series between a source of the switching unit and an end of the power supply;

a voltage detection unit for detecting a power voltage using partial voltage resistance;

a DC power unit for dropping AC power, rectifying the same, and supplying DC power;

a temperature detection unit for detecting ambient temperature;

a manipulation/display unit having buttons for function manipulation and a display for operation state display formed thereon; and

a control unit electrically connected with elements ranging from the switching unit to the manipulation/display unit to transmit/receive a power voltage supply or control signal and control the temperature of the heating sheet according to a preset algorithm.

2. The controller of claim 1, wherein the switching unit is formed of a triac or thyristor (SCR).
