    [0001] Sole device comprising air conditioning means The field of the invention is that of the shoe. More specifically, the invention relates to a shoe sole device.
    [0002] Footwear is an element of clothing whose role is to protect the feet. The shape of shoes can vary to infinity, especially depending on culture, fashion, social status and especially the use. Indeed, they can be used for relaxation, formal, sports, medical, professional, or simply for recreational use.
    [0003] A shoe consists mainly of the sole, the lower part which protects the soles of the feet, more or less raised at the back by the heel and the stem, the upper part which envelops the foot. It can be limited to the ankle or rising. The sole or sole can be divided into two parts. An upper sole layer in direct contact with the user's foot and a lower sole layer in direct contact with the ground or more generally the external environment. New technologies accompany new needs and the world of footwear is part of this movement. It is in this sense that new products become indispensable for the new needs of consumers in a professional or personal context.
    [0004] The connected shoe soles already exist and allow basic functions such as foot heating function at one or more predetermined temperatures determined by the manufacturer. These insoles can be autonomous and contain a rechargeable battery. They can be connected to an external terminal by a wired system or a wireless connection. The terminal in question allows to choose a limited choice of temperatures and identical for the soles of the pair of shoes. These shoes can be used for sports and leisure activities such as hunting, winter sports ... Other users, such as cyclists, have different or even different needs. A refresh of the shoe is essential to them.
    [0005] Indeed, they suffer from the heat in their shoes due to the absence of compression of the plantar arch facilitating venous return during a long journey without stopping even a race, to which are added the factors such as the weather and the surface on which the cyclist rolls. There can therefore be a very strong accumulation of heat in the shoe and only the application of particular products or stopping to walk allows the relief of the athlete. As a solution, there are refreshing soles against foot heating and swelling, inevitable as soon as the temperature rises. They are put in the refrigerator one hour before placing them in the shoe. These soles are independent of the shoe and have the disadvantage of having to refrigerate before use. Their ability to stay cool is also limited in time. In parallel, other connected insoles appeared recently. As for example, those equipped with pressure sensors and an accelerometer that can deliver to a smartphone via Bluetooth, statistics on the physical activities of their wearer: the number of steps made, etc. Or, another connected platform is able to detect nearby landmines by generating an electromagnetic field. For this purpose, the sole comes directly into the shoe of his wearer. Equipped with a microprocessor and audio transmission, the system communicates wirelessly to a companion bracelet. More generally, no user has access to air-conditioned shoes. That is to say, shoes for regulating the temperature in the shoe according to the ambient temperature or the will of the user.
    [0006] The invention particularly aims to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art. More specifically, an objective of the invention, according to at least one embodiment, is to overcome these limitations of simple foot warming function and limited heating levels by providing access to additional information and regulating the temperature on a setpoint. More specifically, the objective is to provide a sole device comprising air conditioning means, that is to say means for ventilation, cooling and / or warming of the shoe according to the will of the user or surrounding conditions. The soleplate according to the invention is particularly intended for persons wishing an optimal comfort of the foot while passing by the regulation of its temperature, and wishing to have access to the information accessible from a communicating terminal.
    [0007] These objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly later, are achieved by means of a shoe sole device comprising, between a lower sole layer and an upper sole layer, air conditioning means comprising heating means and / or cooling means connected to temperature control means which are associated remote control means, the device further comprising means for supplying rechargeable electric energy. Indeed, the comfort of the user is paramount and the comfort of the foot passes through a regulation of the temperature of the foot during cold or hot outside temperatures.
    [0008] Advantageously, the sole device further comprises at least one temperature sensor in wire connection or other with the regulation means for the operation control, as the case may be, heating means or cooling means depending on whether the temperature measured by the sensor is below or above a setpoint.
    [0009] This setpoint can be set precisely by the user. The air conditioning means thus make it possible to adjust the inside temperature of the boot according to the parameters measured by the sensor. Preferably, the sole device comprises at least one of said temperature sensors disposed at said bottom sole layer.
    [0010] The sensor of the device thus makes it possible to measure a temperature more or less equal to the ground. According to one embodiment, the sole device comprises at least one of said temperature sensors disposed at said upper sole layer. Indeed this measured temperature corresponds substantially to that under the foot.
    [0011] Advantageously, the lower sole layer is made of an insulating material in comparison to the material of said upper sole layer. The heat or coolness emitted by the sole device can thus easily reach the foot. According to a particular embodiment, the upper sole layer has through perforations.
    [0012] Indeed, the upper sole layer on the one hand extends substantially in a plane and on the other hand has through-holes which extend substantially perpendicular to said plane. The upper sole layer can thus more easily allow the propagation of heat or freshness. According to another embodiment, the heating means consist of an electrical resistance or a heating plate. Advantageously, the cooling means are of the Peltier effect type and / or fan.
    [0013] A Peltier module may be installed and connected to a temperature propagation means over the entire surface of the upper sole layer such as for example a conductive plate. Similarly a fan can cool the system. Advantageously, the sole device has a medial portion, having a concave portion corresponding to the plantar arch and within which are implanted said temperature control means. The plantar arch is a concave-shaped area which advantageously provides a free space in the medial portion of the sole layer for inserting the regulating means into the sole device. In addition, the heating and cooling regulation means may be powered by a battery which is itself rechargeable by means of a plug or other recharging means, for example the piezoelectric energy resulting from walking. kinetic energy of walking or solar energy via solar panels arranged on at least one of the shoes. Advantageously, the charge level of the battery can be measured and displayed on a remote terminal. According to a particular embodiment, the air conditioning device of a pair of shoes comprising two sole devices each associated with a shoe, each one according to any one of the preceding claims and each comprising an independent operating temperature control means .
    [0014] Advantageously, the invention makes it possible to regulate the sole devices contained in each boot independently of one another. Greater accuracy of regulation is thus obtained.
    [0015] List of Figures Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments of the invention, with reference to the appended figures, in which: - Figure 1 shows schematically an exploded view according to one embodiment of the invention; - Figure 2 schematically shows an exploded view of a sole device according to a second embodiment of the invention; - Figure 3 schematically shows a side view of a sole device according to a third embodiment of the invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rechargeable sole device for regulating the temperature, and more particularly to a sole device that can be easily installed in shoes or the like in order to generate on the one hand a regulating function of the temperature under the control of a user via a wireless communicating terminal and, secondly, additional information, in particular on the sole device, the walk or the health of the user. To this end, the present invention relates to a wireless connected sole device for regulating temperature, comprising mainly between a lower sole layer and an upper sole layer: a heating and / or cooling part, a control circuit and sensors as well as a rechargeable power system. The control circuit and sensors allows the regulation of the temperature of the sole and the return of information to the user, it also deals with establishing the wireless link with the communicating terminal. The integrated power system is used to supply electrical power to the device. The soleplate is designed to allow the user to choose a temperature and regulate the temperature of the sole device to that setpoint. It also includes one or more sensors making this sole intelligent. According to a first embodiment and with reference to FIG. 1, the present invention is characterized by an upper sole layer 40 that is removable and in direct contact with the foot and a lower sole layer 1, itself in direct contact with the ground and secured to the shoe's upper. The set is connected and allows the regulation of the temperature or air conditioning. A heating portion 30, which may be a heating electrical resistance wire sewn on a heat-resistant fabric layer, a heating plate, an infrared light, etc., and the cooling portion may be a fan, etc. (not shown); extend to a control and sensor circuit and a power supply system 20 via a connection wire 31 or wire connection, thus constituting an electric loop. The cooling part allows when the temperature of the foot is higher than the set point to cool the foot. According to another embodiment, the cooling means consist for example of a thermoelectric model or said Peltier and / or a fan. The heating portion 30 is interposed in between the upper sole layer 40 and lower 1 on the forefoot and covers the foot as widely as possible and distributes the heat uniformly so that when the heating function is activated, the heating objectives are achieved. It is comprised between a layer of insulating material on the underside in the lower sole layer 1 to limit heat loss to the underside of the shoe, and a layer of a heat conductive material on top in the sole layer. In a preferred embodiment, for a better heat exchange between the foot and the sole, the upper sole layer 40 comprises through perforations so as to improve the heat exchange. The cooling part is in a part of the soleplate does not interfere with the comfort of the user and ensuring the desired function. In a preferred embodiment, it is at the front of the foot. It is likewise between the two layers of upper sole 40 and lower 1 to provide thermal insulation with the underside of the shoe. In order to install the air conditioning system in a shoe, the control and sensor circuit and the supply system 20 are put in a suitable position in the lower sole layer 1 and preferably in the heel.
    [0016] However, another position may also be considered. An access 11 can be defined to be able firstly to recharge the power system 20 which is rechargeable via a micro-USB type electrical connector or any other component that can perform this function and secondly turn on / off the soleplate via a switch 13, or other. The upper sole layer 40 provides shock absorption, especially at the heel where the electrical circuit and the power system are located. The circuit 10 and the supply system 20 are inserted into the lower sole layer 1 so as to provide optimum support and impact resistance. To ensure good resistance, the electrical circuit can be resinated or protected in a box. The power supply system 20 used may be a Lithium-Polymer battery type rechargeable or otherwise guaranteeing a long life and impact resistance, and a reduced space in the sole 1. A temperature sensor 14 forming part of electrical circuit 10 advantageously makes it possible to regulate the temperature of the foot according to the temperature setpoint chosen by the user, thus saving the system of feeding of the device, and allowing the user a choice of temperature of the foot wider and more precise for each foot. The temperature sensor may be that of the communication module if it has one, or it may be a temperature sensor placed near the user's foot such as a thermocouple, a heat-sensitive resistor, or any other type, such as to accurately measure the temperature of the foot. The temperature range must ensure that it does not allow the foot to become too cold or too hot, so as not to impede the user's comfort. The sole device provides easier wireless control through a communicating terminal, for example mobile phone, PDAs, tablet, etc. The wireless connection between the sole device and the communicating terminal is via a wireless communication that can be Bluetooth type, allowing a simplified connection, a low power consumption in the communication and a range of compatible communicating devices important. The communication can be done by other networks such as cellular networks, satellites, WI-FI, or others.
    [0017] A wireless transmitter / receiver module 12 is located in the electrical circuit 10 of the sole device. The circuit 10 comprises a microcontroller capable of taking into account the set temperature and the foot temperature measured by the sensor to adapt the supply of the heating and / or cooling part and regulate the temperature of the foot. The communicating terminal and a wireless transmitter / receiver module independent of the left sole device and the right sole device makes it possible to connect to the right sole device to adjust the temperature set point and to the left sole device to adjust the same. the set temperature value independently of one another. The terminal also makes it possible to retrieve the information identified and / or measured by the soles devices and to store them internally or on a network for a follow-up of the user.
    [0018] The power supply system 20 as well as the electronic components used for recharging the power supply system 20, the power supply of the wireless transmitter / receiver unit 12, the supply of the heating wire 30 and the wireless transmitter / receiver unit 12 may include any type of variations performing the same function known to those skilled in the art.
    [0019] The connected sole device is intelligent by regulating foot temperature and providing additional functions. Indeed, the sole device can calculate the number of steps performed by the user, via an accelerometer placed in the electrical circuit 10 and thus send the information to the user on the communicating terminal. This information can give the user through an algorithm, its expenditure in calories among others. The sole device can contain several sensors for measuring several parameters such as the heart rate, the weight of the person, all information will be communicated to the user by display on the communicating terminal.
    [0020] The sole device being in direct contact with the foot, it allows to analyze the information of the vapor escaping from the skin, and thus it is possible to determine whether the user's diet lacks a particular vitamin, the salinity of the sweat can be assessed, etc. Archiving this information on the communicating terminal for user tracking can be done. According to a second embodiment and with reference to FIG. 2, the electric circuit 10 and the supply source 20 are located inside a space situated in a concave shape 70 of the upper sole layer 40, or elsewhere to reduce the thickness of the sole device at the heel, thereby allowing insertion into the shoe facilitated. According to other embodiments of the invention: the control and sensor circuit and the battery may be in the heel of the sole, in the concave portion 70 of the arch, or in any other position. not annoying the comfort of the user; physiological sensors or for recovering personal or other information can be added to the soleplate to enrich the functions of the soleplate; - The recharging of the power system is done through an electrical connector connecting it to an external power source; - In addition to recharging by external source, the recharging of the power system can be provided by a system for converting mechanical walking energy into electrical energy, for example piezoelectric; - the running energy can be converted directly into thermal energy. According to a third embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 3, the sole 100 of the shoe 60 comprises a lower sole layer 80 in direct contact with the ground and secured to the upper of the shoe 60. This sole 100 also includes a removable lower sole layer 50 and a removable upper sole layer 40. The lower sole layer 50 is interposed between the upper sole layer 40 and the lower sole layer 80. The air conditioner and all its variants according to the previous embodiments of the invention are installed in the lower sole layer 50 and are therefore removable.
    [0021] However, it should be understood that these examples are given solely by way of illustration of the subject of the invention of which they in no way constitute a limitation.
