1. An integrated fabric based power-generating insole, comprising a power-generating insole body, a detachable outer layer and an electronic module,
wherein the power-generating insole body comprises a first friction component, a second friction component and a fabric composite component, the first friction component is composed of a first electrode layer and a first polymer material, the fabric composite component is an integrated fabric composed of substrate non-nanofiber fabric and second polymer material, the first friction component and the fabric composite component are integrally formed a double “L”-shaped composite component with a middle part and two side part;
wherein the two side parts are bent towards the middle part to form an upper receiving chamber and a lower receiving chamber, and the first polymer material of the first friction component is located inside the upper and lower receiving chambers;
the second friction component is wrapped around the middle part of the double “L”-shaped composite component, wherein the middle part is formed by the fabric composite component, and is integrated with the first friction component and the fabric composite component,
the detachable outer layer is wrapped in the surface of the power-generating insole body,
the electronic module is connected to the first electrode layer and the second friction component respectively;
wherein a value of C/(A+B) is between 0.4 and 1.6, “A” represents the content of the first polymer material, “B” represents the content of the second polymer material, and “C” represents the content of the substrate non-nanofiber fabric.
