DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The light-emitting shoe provided in the present invention will be described below in more details with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 and the preferred embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a light-emitting shoe comprises a sole 10 and a light-emitting module 20 disposed inside the sole 10, the light-emitting module 20 comprises a light-emitting controller 21 and a plurality of light-emitting bodies 22 electrically connected with the light-emitting controller 21, the light-emitting controller 21 is disposed in the sole 10, the plurality of light-emitting bodies 22 are disposed at the edge of the sole 10, a light-permeable cover 30 is further arranged at the edge of the sole 10, and the light-permeable cover 30 is corresponding to the light-emitting ends of the light-emitting bodies 22 and is a prism with at least one irregular side face. The light-permeable cover 30 in a prism structure is disposed at the edge of the sole 10 corresponding to the light-emitting ends of the light-emitting bodies 22 so that lights emitted by the light-emitting bodies 22 can be refracted by the prism, and because at least one side face of the prism is an irregular prism face, the refracted lights form irregular light spots on an irradiation surface, thus effectively improving the light efficiency of the light-emitting shoe of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the light-permeable cover 30 encircles the edge of the sole 10 and is corresponding to the light-emitting ends of the light-emitting bodies 22, the outer side face 31a of the light-permeable cover 30 is a smooth circular-arc face, and the inner side face 32a of the light-permeable cover 30 is an irregular prism face.

As shown in FIG. 5, the light-permeable cover 30 encircles the edge of the sole 10 and is corresponding to the light-emitting ends of the light-emitting bodies 22, and both the inner side face 32b and the outer side face 31b of the light-permeable cover 30 are irregular prism faces.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, an accommodating groove 11 is disposed at a position of heel on the sole 10, and the light-emitting controller 21 is disposed in the accommodating groove 11. The thickness of heel is generally more than that of shoe sole, so by arranging the accommodating groove 11, for accommodating the light-emitting controller 21, at the position of heel, the light-emitting controller 21 can be hidden in the sole 10 without changing the shape of the shoe as much as possible.

The light-emitting body 22 as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 is an LED bead.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of concave bases 12 are disposed at the edge of the sole 10, and the plurality of light-emitting bodies 22 are respectively embedded in the concave bases 12 in a manner of one-to-one correspondence. By arranging the concave bases 12, the light-emitting bodies 22 can be put under the fixed protection of the concave bases 12 while being located, and two sides of each concave base 12 can protect the light-emitting bodies 22 from stamping of human foot on the sole.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the plurality of light-emitting bodies 22 are electrically connected to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) 23, a slot 13 is disposed at the edge of the sole 10, and the flexible printed circuit board 23 is embedded in the slot 13, the light-emitting bodies 22 are located at the edge of the sole 10, and the light-emitting ends of the light-emitting bodies 22 are corresponding to the outer side of the sole 10. Arrangement of the light-emitting bodies 22 becomes more convenient owing to the flexible printed circuit board 23.

In a preferred embodiment: a vibration switch is disposed in the light-emitting controller, and via this vibration switch, the light-emitting shoe of the present invention is powered on and operates only in case of vibration, which prevents the shoe from power loss during idling.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a contact switch 24 is electrically connected to the light-emitting controller, and may be disposed at a position of the inner side of the light-emitting shoe where contact thereof with the foot of wearer can be realized, in this way, the shoe that is worn can be further enabled to start operating only because the contact switch 24 is triggered, instead of being powered on and operating for other reasons, such as transport.

To sum up, the inventive objective above can be effectively and fully fulfilled by the technical proposal of the present invention, and structural and functional principles of the present invention have been completely verified in the embodiments so as to achieve the anticipated efficiency and objective, in addition, variations to the embodiments of the present invention could also be made in accordance with these principles, thus the present invention includes all substitution contents within the scope mentioned in the patent scope. Any equivalent variation made within the patent scope of the present invention shall fall within the patent scope of this application.
