Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of insoles, and in particular to an insole structure. Background Art

[0002] At present, shoes are indispensable items for modern humans. Since people wear them for a long time, a pair of shoes that can bring comfort to people's feet is very important. The insole in the shoe body is a necessity for shoes. The insole is mainly used to separate the sole of the foot from the sole, reduce the friction between the sole of the foot and the shoe body, avoid the sole of the foot directly stepping on the sole and making wearing shoes more comfortable, thereby increasing the comfort of the human body; usually, insoles can be divided into: antibacterial insoles, deodorizing insoles, Chinese medicine insoles, etc., shock-absorbing insoles, height-increasing insoles, waterproof insoles, air circulation insoles, massage insoles, etc.; therefore, users configure corresponding insoles according to the use of shoes, which plays a key protective role for people's feet and also can enhance the user experience.

[0003] However, the existing inflatable insoles have a poor structural design. The contact portion of the insole is set near the heel, and the insole cannot be lifted up at other positions and in contact with the sole of the user's foot according to the changes in the position of the insole when the user walks, which reduces the user experience, cannot meet the user's usage needs, and has a small scope of application.

[0008] During walking, when the user's heel steps on the heel area, the air bag cavity in the heel area is pressurized and the air in the heel area flows toward the air bag cavities in the mid-arch area and the forefoot area, so that the air bag cavities in the mid-arch area and the forefoot area are inflated and the first contact parts in the forefoot area and the mid-arch area are linked to be pushed upward to contact the corresponding position of the user's foot in advance. Moreover, after the user's heel steps on the heel area, the forefoot of the user steps on the forefoot area, so that the first contact part that is pushed up by the air intake and expansion in the forefoot area is pressurized and reset downward, and the air in the air bag cavity in the forefoot area flows toward the air bag cavities in the mid-arch area and the heel area, thereby linking the first contact parts in the mid-arch area and the heel area to be pushed upward to contact the corresponding position of the user's foot.

[0010] Alternatively, there are three airbag groups, two of which are arranged in sequence up and down on the intermediate shoe material layer, two of which are respectively arranged between the upper shoe material layer and the intermediate shoe material layer and between the intermediate shoe material layer and the lower shoe material layer, and the other airbag group is arranged between the two intermediate shoe material layers.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the hardness of the upper shoe material layer, the hardness of the middle shoe material layer, and the hardness of the lower shoe material layer are equal or unequal.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the first contact portion of the mid-arch area is higher than the first contact portion of the forefoot area and the first contact portion of the heel area, and the first contact portion of the heel area is higher than the first contact portion of the forefoot area.

At the same time, the provision of multiple airbag groups makes the insole body have better shock absorption performance. The vibration generated by the movement of the shoes and the ground is buffered by the multiple airbag groups and then transmitted to the feet, which makes people feel comfortable at first, and repeated continuous vibrations will not cause fatigue or damage to the feet. The structural design is ingenious and reasonable, meets the user's usage needs, and has a wide range of applications.

[0020] Furthermore, the hardness of the upper shoe material layer, the hardness of the middle shoe material layer, and the hardness of the lower shoe material layer can be equal or unequal, so that insoles of different hardness can be configured for use according to the user's stress level, thereby ensuring the comfort of the user's foot during walking, so that the user can get a better sole contact experience and good usability;

[0021] Furthermore, the setting of the first contact bump is conducive to improving the contact experience between the user's sole and the first contact part.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it shows the specific structure of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] A shoe insole structure includes an insole body 10, the insole body 10 having a forefoot area 11, a mid-foot arch area 12, and a heel area 13 arranged in a front-to-back order. The forefoot area 11, the mid-foot arch area 12, and the heel area 13 are each provided with a plurality of first contact portions 14 arranged in a spaced manner. An airbag group 15 is provided inside the insole body 10. The airbag groups 15 are provided in two or more groups and are arranged in a spaced manner up and down. The airbag groups 15 include a plurality of airbag cavities 151 arranged in a spaced manner corresponding to the forefoot area, the mid-foot arch area, and the heel area and connected to each other.

[0035] When the user's foot is in a state of walking, the air in the airbag 151 in the rear heel area 15 is compressed and the air in the airbag 151 in the rear heel area 15 flows toward the airbag 15 in the mid-arch area 12 and the forefoot area 11, so that the airbag 15 in the mid-arch area 12 and the forefoot area 11 is inflated and expanded, and the first contact parts 15 in the forefoot area 11 and the mid-arch area 12 are pushed upward to contact the corresponding position of the user's foot in advance. In addition, after the user's forefoot steps on the rear heel area, the first contact part 15 in the forefoot area 11 that is pushed up by the air inflated is compressed and reset downward, so that the air in the airbag 15 in the forefoot area 11 flows toward the airbag 15 in the mid-arch area 12 and the rear heel area 13, thereby linking the first contact parts 15 in the mid-arch area 12 and the rear heel area 13 to push upward to contact the corresponding position of the user's foot in advance. In this way, through the design of various components, the airbag cavity in the corresponding area is pressurized according to the user's foot position, and the air in the airbag cavity in this area flows toward the airbag cavity in other areas, thereby linking the first contact parts in other areas to push up to contact the corresponding position of the user's foot in advance, and when the user steps on the lifted position, the lifted position is pressurized to return the gas to the corresponding airbag cavity, thereby achieving a wave-like contact effect between the user and the insole during walking, improving the user's walking experience. At the same time, the provision of multiple airbag groups makes the insole body have better shock absorption performance. The vibration generated by the movement of shoes and the ground is buffered by multiple airbag groups and then transmitted to the feet. It makes people feel comfortable at first, and repeated and continuous vibrations will not cause fatigue or damage to the feet. The structural design is ingenious and reasonable, meets the user's usage needs, and has a wide range of applications.

[0036] In addition, the insole body 10 includes an upper shoe material layer 101, an intermediate shoe material layer 102, and a lower shoe material layer 103. The forefoot area 11, the mid-arch area 12, and the heel area 13 are arranged at the upper end of the upper shoe material layer 101. The airbag groups 15 are provided in two groups, and the two groups of airbag groups 15 are respectively arranged between the upper shoe material layer 101 and the intermediate shoe material layer 102 and between the intermediate shoe material layer 102 and the lower shoe material layer 103.

[0037] Alternatively, the airbag groups 15 are provided with three groups, and the intermediate shoe material layer 102 is provided with two and arranged in sequence up and down, wherein two airbag groups 15 are respectively provided between the upper shoe material layer 101 and the intermediate shoe material layer 102 and between the intermediate shoe material layer 102 and the lower shoe material layer 103, and the other airbag group 15 is provided between the two intermediate shoe material layers 102; it should be noted that this article takes three groups of airbag groups as an example, and the number of airbag groups is not limited to two or three groups. Multiple groups of airbag groups can also be configured according to actual usage requirements or the size model of the shoes to meet different usage requirements, and the sizes of the airbag cavities in the forefoot area 11, the mid-arch area 12, and the heel area 13 are equal or unequal.

[0038] In this embodiment, the hardness of the upper shoe material layer 101, the hardness of the middle shoe material layer 102, and the hardness of the lower shoe material layer 103 are equal or unequal. At the same time, the first contact portion 15 of the mid-foot arch area 12 is higher than the first contact portion 15 of the forefoot area 11 and the first contact portion 15 of the heel area 13. The first contact portion 15 of the heel area 13 is higher than the first contact portion 15 of the forefoot area 11. Preferably, the upper end of the first contact portion 15 of the forefoot area 11 and the first contact portion 15 of the mid-foot arch area 12 are The upper end and the upper end of the first contact portion 15 in the heel area 13 are both protruded upward with a first contact protrusion 151. In this way, the hardness of the upper shoe material layer, the hardness of the middle shoe material layer and the hardness of the lower shoe material layer are equal or unequal, so that insoles of different hardness can be configured for use according to the user's force level, ensuring the comfort of the user's feet during walking, so that the user can get a better sole contact experience and good usability. At the same time, the setting of the first contact protrusion is conducive to improving the contact experience between the user's sole and the first contact portion.

[0039] In addition, a second contact portion 16 is further provided on the forefoot area 11, the mid-arch area 12, and the heel area 13. The second contact portion 16 is arranged in a side-to-side spacing manner around the first contact portions 15. The height of the second contact portion 16 is less than the first contact portion 15, and the width of the second contact portion 16 is greater than the first contact portion 15. Preferably, the upper end of the second contact portion 16 is provided with a second contact convex point 161, and the lower end of the insole body 10 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip grooves arranged in a spaced manner (not shown in the figure). In this way, the second contact portion and the second contact convex point are provided to massage the edge position of the user's sole, thereby further improving the contact experience between the user's sole and the insole. At the same time, the setting of the anti-slip grooves is beneficial to the anti-slip performance of the insole inside the shoe, thereby ensuring the stability of the insole.

[0040] It should be noted that the massage insole structure in this article is not limited to use on insoles, but can also be applied to massage mats, soles, massage chairs and other products, and the corresponding first contact part can be configured according to the contact position between the user and the product.

[0041] The design focus of the present invention is that it mainly uses the design of various components to pressurize the airbag cavity of the corresponding area according to the user's foot position, so that the air in the airbag cavity of the area flows toward the airbag cavity of other areas, thereby linking the first contact parts of other areas to push up to contact the corresponding position of the user's sole in advance, and when the user steps on the pushed-up position, the pushed-up position is pressurized so that the air flows back to the corresponding airbag cavity, thereby realizing a wave-like contact effect between the user and the foot pad during walking, so as to achieve the use of contact massage, thereby improving the user's walking experience. At the same time, the provision of multiple airbag groups makes the insole body have better shock absorption performance. The vibration generated by the movement of the shoes and the ground is buffered by the multiple airbag groups and then transmitted to the feet, which makes people feel comfortable at first, and repeated continuous vibrations will not cause fatigue or damage to the feet. The structural design is ingenious and reasonable, meets the user's usage needs, and has a wide range of applications.

[0042] Furthermore, the hardness of the upper shoe material layer, the hardness of the middle shoe material layer, and the hardness of the lower shoe material layer can be equal or unequal, so that insoles of different hardness can be configured for use according to the user's stress level, thereby ensuring the comfort of the user's foot during walking, so that the user can get a better massage experience and good usability;

[0043] Furthermore, the setting of the first contact bump is conducive to improving the contact experience between the user's sole and the first contact part. At the same time, the setting of the second contact part can massage the edge of the user's sole, thereby further improving the contact experience between the user's sole and the insole.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
