Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shoe structure, in particular to a shoe easy to put on and take off and follow the foot and a wearing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Shoes are very important daily necessities, except for some special occasions, such as barefoot places like bed, swimming pool, river, lake and sea, people usually need to wear shoes. The shape and form of shoes are various to adapt to the occasion.

[0003] In addition to the bedroom bathroom completely for easy to put on and take off slippers, generally speaking, the requirements for shoes include comfort, anti-skid, easy to put on and take off, and follow the foot. And easy to put on and take off and follow the foot are mutually contradictory. The former requires a wide shoe opening, and the foot is easy to put in and take out; the latter requires the shoe opening to be tightened, so that the foot is relatively fixed with the shoe.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to meet the requirements of easy to put on and take off and follow the foot, the following three methods are usually adopted: (1) the shoe opening is moderately tight, and the shoe opening is set to a fixed width; (2) the elastic and tight shoe upper is used to control the width of the shoe opening; (3) various forms of shoelaces are used to control the width of the shoe opening; (4) the length of the shoe is changed to control the width of the shoe opening.

[0005] The above four solutions have certain limitations. The first three methods, although simple in structure, need the user to bend down to operate to complete the shoe wearing, which is extremely inconvenient for the elderly with difficulty in movement, and cannot effectively solve the problem of simultaneous realization of easy to put on and take off and follow the foot. Although the fourth method can complete the shoe wearing without bending down, it is complex in structure and high in manufacturing cost, which is not conducive to production. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the problem that the prior art cannot effectively solve the problem of simultaneous realization of easy to put on and take off and follow the foot at low cost and low manufacturing, the present application mainly provides a shoe easy to put on and take off and follow the foot and a wearing method thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, one technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, comprising: a sole; an upper; a heel that is flexibly connected to the sole; and an opening and closing device located on the sole or upper, used to drive the heel to swing back and forth, thereby closing the opening and closing device and making the shoe fit snugly against the foot. The opening and closing device includes: a movable component comprising a first component and a second component, the first component being located on the sole and the second component being located on the heel, the first component and the second component being fixedly connected; a flexible connecting component, one end of which is connected to the first component, thereby maintaining the position of the movable component; and a fixing component, one end of which is connected to the other end of the elastic connecting component, providing fixed support for the elastic connecting component. When the first component is subjected to a downward force, the first component rotates counterclockwise, driving the second component to rotate, thereby making the heel fit snugly against the heel, and maintaining the closed state of the opening and closing device through the fixing component and the elastic connecting component.

[0008] Another technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a method for wearing shoes that are easy to put on and take off, comprising: when the foot is inserted into the shoe, the foot applies force to an opening and closing device provided on the sole or upper of the shoe, the opening and closing device causes the heel of the shoe to swing, so that the shoe fits snugly against the foot, wherein the foot applies force to a first component of a movable part, the first component rotates counterclockwise under force, thereby causing a second component of the movable part to rotate, so that the heel of the shoe fits snugly against the heel of the foot, wherein the first component is located on the sole of the shoe, the second component is located on the heel of the shoe, the first component and the second component are fixedly connected, and the closed state of the opening and closing device is maintained by a fixing component and a flexible connecting component, wherein one end of the flexible connecting component is connected to the first component, and the other end of the flexible connecting component is connected to the end of the fixing component near the movable component.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows: This application designs a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, and a method for wearing it. By applying downward force to the first component of the opening and closing device, which is originally in the open state, the first component rotates counterclockwise along the axis of rotation, thereby driving the second component to swing, so that the heel, which is away from the upper, moves closer to the upper and fits tightly against the heel. The opening and closing device is maintained in a closed state by the fixing component and the flexible connecting component, so as to tighten the shoe opening formed by the upper and the heel, and make the foot and the shoe relatively fixed. This application achieves the requirements of easy to put on and take off and fit well at the same time without changing the length of the shoe and without bending over. It is especially convenient for the elderly with limited mobility and avoids the safety hazards such as falls caused by bending over to put on shoes. Moreover, its structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and has low manufacturing cost, which is conducive to production. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The preferred embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this application can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0024] Shoes are essential everyday items. Except for special occasions such as in bed, swimming pools, rivers, lakes, or the sea where barefooting is necessary, people usually need to wear shoes. Shoes come in a variety of shapes and styles to suit different occasions. Aside from slippers used in bedrooms and bathrooms for easy on and off, general requirements for shoes include comfort, slip resistance, ease of on and off, and a good fit. However, ease of on and off and a good fit are contradictory. The former requires a wide opening for easy slipping on and off; the latter requires a tighter opening to provide a relatively stable fit between the foot and the shoe.

[0025] In existing technology centers, the following three methods are usually adopted to meet the requirements of easy on and off shoes and good fit: (1) the shoe opening is moderately tight and the shoe opening is set to a fixed width; (2) the shoe opening width is controlled by using elastic uppers; (3) the shoe opening width is controlled by using various types of shoelaces; (4) the shoe opening width is controlled by changing the shoe length.

[0026] The above four solutions all have certain limitations. The first three, although simple in structure, require the user to bend over to put on the shoes. This method is extremely inconvenient for elderly people with mobility difficulties and cannot effectively solve the problems of easy on and off shoes and simultaneous on-foot fit. Although (4) does not require bending over to put on the shoes, its structure is complex and the production cost is high, which is not conducive to production. For example, (1) setting a fixed shoe opening width makes the shoes slightly tight when putting on and taking off, and slightly loose after putting them on, which makes the shoes not easy to put on and take off and not fit well. (2) The elastic upper controls the shoe opening width. Frequent loosening or tightening reduces the elasticity of the upper, which shortens the lifespan of the shoes.

[0027] The inventive concept of this application is as follows: To facilitate the putting on and taking off of shoes for elderly people with limited mobility, this application provides a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and a method for wearing it. When putting on the shoes, by applying downward force to the first component of the opening and closing device, which is originally in the open state, the first component rotates counterclockwise along the axis of rotation, thereby causing the second component to swing, so that the heel, which is away from the upper, moves closer to the upper and fits tightly against the heel. The opening and closing device is maintained in a closed state by the fixing component and the flexible connecting component, so as to tighten the shoe opening formed by the upper and the heel, and fix the foot and the shoe relatively. When taking off the shoes, the user touches the heel opening component inside the shoe with the other foot. The heel opening component transmits the force received to the first component, so that the first component rotates clockwise along the axis of rotation, thereby causing the second component to swing, so that the heel, which was originally close to the upper, moves away from the upper and away from the heel, making the shoes easy to take off. This application achieves both easy on / off and comfortable fit of shoes without altering the shoe length or requiring bending over, making it especially convenient for elderly people with mobility issues and preventing safety hazards such as falls caused by bending over to put on shoes. Furthermore, its simple structure makes it easy to manufacture, has low production costs, and facilitates production.

[0028] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 This illustration shows a specific embodiment of a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well.

[0030] exist Figure 1In the specific embodiment shown in (a), the shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well mainly include a sole (1); a heel (2) that is flexibly connected to the sole; an upper (3); and an opening and closing device located on the sole or upper, which is used to drive the heel to swing back and forth, so that the opening and closing device is closed and the shoes fit snugly against the foot. The opening and closing device includes: a movable part, which includes a first part (4) and a second part (5), the first part being located on the sole and the second part being located on the heel, the first part and the second part being fixedly connected; a flexible connecting part (6), one end of which is connected to the first part, and the position of the movable part is maintained by the elastic force generated therefrom; a fixed part (7), one end of which is close to the movable part and the other end of the elastic connecting part is connected to provide fixed support for the elastic connecting part; when the first part is subjected to a downward force, the first part rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the second part to rotate, so that the heel fits snugly against the heel, and the closed state of the opening and closing device is maintained by the fixed part and the flexible connecting part.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the opening and closing device can be located on the sole or on the surface of the upper; preferably, the first component of the opening and closing device is located inside the sole, and the second component is located inside the heel, wherein the first component is located in the sole near the heel. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 (a) The opening and closing mechanism is in the open state, meaning the shoe is currently open. In this state, the width of the shoe opening is wider than in the closed state, allowing the user to easily slip their foot into the shoe. The larger opening also makes it easier to remove the shoe. Figure 1 In (a), when the user's foot steps into the shoe, the first component of the opening and closing mechanism is subjected to a downward force. More precisely, the end of the first component connected to the flexible connecting component is subjected to a downward force. Since the opening and closing mechanism is in the open state, the fixing member and the flexible connecting component provide support to the first component, keeping it in its current state. Therefore, when the first component experiences a downward force that overcomes the force provided by the fixing member and the flexible connecting component, the first component rotates counterclockwise, causing the second component to rotate, making the heel of the shoe fit snugly against the heel of the foot, thus changing the state of the opening and closing mechanism to the closed state. Figure 1 (b) shows the closed state of the opening and closing device, which allows the user to put on the shoes without bending over. In the closed state, the width of the shoe opening is narrow, which can fit closely to the foot (or wrap around the ankle) and effectively prevent the foot from slipping out of the shoe after the user puts on the shoes.

[0032] In one specific embodiment of this application, the soft connection component includes: at least one connecting component (601) in a fixed opening and closing device state, the connecting component being connected to the fixing member and the first component respectively, wherein the connecting component is in a compressed state when the opening and closing device is in a closed state.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, the connecting component can be a spring, a telescopic rod, etc. This application does not impose specific requirements; any component that can maintain the current state when the opening and closing device is in its open or closed state can be used as the connecting component in this application. The number of connecting components can be one or more. Figure 2 (a) is the open state of the opening and closing device when the flexible connection component is a spring; Figure 2 (b) shows the closed state of the opening and closing device when the flexible connecting component is a spring; when there are multiple connecting components, they are fixed side by side between the fixing member and the first component, and the specific connection method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in (c), when the opening and closing device is in the closed state, the connecting component is in the compressed state to provide a supporting force for the first component and keep it in the closed state.

[0034] In one specific embodiment of this application, the telescopic component is hinged to both the fixing component and the first component.

[0035] In this specific embodiment, one end of the flexible connection component is connected to the fixing member, and the other end is connected to the first component. The specific connection method is as follows: Figure 2 (a) Figure 2 (b) and Figure 2 (c) shows a hinge connection in which the flexible connection component swings flexibly along with the first component when the opening and closing device switches between the closed and open states.

[0036] In one specific embodiment of this application, the elastic connector further includes a ball (602), wherein one end of the connecting member is connected to the fixing member, the other end of the connecting member is connected to the ball, the ball contacts the first member, and the state of the opening and closing device is maintained by the ball.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, the number of balls that collide can be one or more, and the connecting components correspond to the number of balls that collide. Figure 3 (a) is the open state of the opening and closing device when the flexible connection component is a spring and a ball; Figure 3 (b) shows the closed state of the opening and closing device when the flexible connecting component is a spring and a ball; when there are multiple connecting components, there are also multiple balls, which are fixed side by side between the connecting component and the first component, as shown in the specific connection method. Figure 3 As shown in (c), when the opening and closing device is in the closed state, the connecting component is in the compressed state to provide support for the first component and keep it in the closed state.

[0038] When the flexible connection component is connected to the fixing component and the first component, Figure 3 (a) Figure 3 (b) and Figure 3(c) When connected by a ball, i.e. the flexible connecting component is fixedly connected to the fixed component, and the flexible connecting component is connected to the first component by a ball, when the opening and closing device switches between the closed and open states, the first component overcomes the force provided to the first component by pressing the ball surface, causing the first component to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise along the axis of rotation, thereby driving the second component to rotate, so that the opening and closing device completes the switching between the closed and open states.

[0039] In one specific embodiment of this application, the shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well further include: a limiter disposed on the sole of the shoe, located above and / or below the first component, for limiting the swing range of the first component.

[0040] In this specific embodiment, the limiter includes an upper limiter (9) and / or a lower limiter (10), wherein the upper limiter is disposed above the first component, and the lower limiter is disposed below the first component. When the first component rotates clockwise, it stops rotating upon contacting the upper limiter; when the first component rotates counterclockwise, it stops rotating upon contacting the lower limiter. Figure 2 (a) Figure 2 (b) Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 (b) shows the case where both the upper limit switch and the lower limit switch are present. In actual production, only the upper limit switch or the lower limit switch may be present, as long as the opening and closing device can switch states without damaging the shoe.

[0041] In one specific embodiment of this application, the shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well further include: a heel opening component, which is disposed below the first component in the sole. The heel opening component applies an external force to the first component, causing the first component to rotate clockwise and drive the heel away from the heel.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, when the opening and closing device switches from a closed state to an open state, i.e., when the user takes off their shoes, the end of the first component connected to the flexible connecting component needs to be subjected to an upward force, or the end of the first component connected to the second component needs to be subjected to a downward force. This force overcomes the support provided by the fixing member and the flexible connecting component, causing the device to rotate clockwise and drive the second component to swing, moving the heel away from the foot, thus switching the opening and closing device to the open state. Therefore, this application provides a heel opening component below the first component, which is connected to the first component. When the user forcefully taps the heel of the sole with their other foot, the heel opening component receives a force and transmits it to the first component, controlling the first component to rotate clockwise and drive the second component to swing, moving the heel away from the foot, thus switching the opening and closing device to the open state, allowing the user to take off their shoes without bending over.

[0043] In one specific embodiment of this application, the shoe heel opening component includes: a rear corner component (11), which is fixed to one end of the live first component near the second component, and when an external force is applied, it is used to push the first component to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the shoe heel away from the heel.

[0044] In this specific embodiment, Figure 4 This is a specific example of a heel opening component for a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, as described in this application. In this application, a rear corner component is provided at the end of the first component that connects to the second component, and its position is as follows: Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 As shown in (b), when the user forcefully taps the heel of the shoe with the other foot or hits a hard object such as a wall with the heel, the rear corner component is subjected to a force to the left and rotates clockwise along the part where it is connected to the first component. This causes the end of the first component connected to the second component to be subjected to a downward force, thereby causing the first component to rotate clockwise and causing the second component to swing. The heel of the shoe moves away from the heel of the foot, so that the opening and closing device switches to the open state.

[0045] In one specific embodiment of this application, the shoe heel opening component includes: a front corner component (12), which is fixedly disposed between the end of the first component near the fixing member and the pivot; a first movable link (13), which is hinged to the front corner component. When the first movable link is subjected to an external force, the first movable link pushes the front corner component to rotate, thereby pushing the first component to rotate clockwise and causing the shoe heel to move away from the heel.

[0046] In this specific embodiment, Figure 5 This is another specific example of a heel opening component of a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, as described in this application. Figure 5 In this application, a front corner component is fixedly installed at one end of the first component that is connected to the flexible connection component, and its installation position is as follows: Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 As shown in (b), when the user forcefully taps the heel of the shoe with their other foot, the front corner component receives a leftward force, which is transmitted to the first component. This causes the end of the first component connected to the flexible connecting component to receive an upward force, resulting in the first component rotating clockwise and causing the second component to swing. The heel of the shoe moves away from the foot, thus switching the opening and closing device to the open state. However, since the distance between the heel and the front corner component is relatively large, the force applied by the user cannot be transmitted to the front corner component. Therefore, a first movable link is provided, which is connected to the front corner component, so that the force applied by the user is transmitted to the front corner component, thereby completing the subsequent steps and switching the opening and closing device to the open state.

[0047] In a specific example of this application, Figure 6 This is another specific example of a heel opening component of a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, as described in this application.Figure 6 In addition, a pivot front corner component can be provided below the end of the first component that is connected to the flexible connecting component. This pivot front corner component is not connected to the first component, and a small pivot (14) is provided inside the pivot front corner component. Its setting position is as follows: Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 As shown in (b), the first movable link contacts the front corner component. When the first movable link receives a force to the left, the front corner component rotates counterclockwise along the small pivot. During the rotation, by squeezing the first component, the end of the first component connected to the flexible connecting component is subjected to an upward force, thereby causing the first component to rotate clockwise and drive the second component to swing, so that the heel of the shoe moves away from the heel of the foot, so that the opening and closing device switches to the open state. The first movable link is hinged to the front corner component.

[0048] In one specific embodiment of this application, the shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well also include: a movable tongue (15), which is disposed on the upper of the shoe corresponding to the foot, and is used to fasten the upper of the shoe when the closing device is closed, so that the shoes fit snugly against the foot.

[0049] In this specific embodiment, Figure 7 This is a specific example of a movable shoe tongue for a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, as described in this application. The movable shoe tongue is located on the upper of the shoe corresponding to the instep, and its specific arrangement is as follows: Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 As shown in (b), where, Figure 7 (a) During the process of switching the opening and closing mechanism from the open state to the closed state, the heel of the shoe is close to the upper and fits snugly against the heel. At the same time, the movable tongue needs to be secured to the upper to ensure that the shoe fits snugly against the foot and prevent the foot from slipping out of the shoe. Figure 7 (b) During the process of switching the opening and closing device from the closed state to the open state, the heel of the shoe moves away from the heel of the foot, and at the same time the movable tongue needs to be released from the upper, so that the shoe moves away from the foot and the foot can easily slip out of the shoe.

[0050] Alternatively, a movable tongue can be placed at the shoe opening in the upper. During the opening and closing process, the heel moves closer to the upper and fits snugly against the heel, while the movable tongue controls the shoe opening to move closer to the heel and fit snugly against the foot, achieving a tight fit between the shoe opening and the ankle and preventing the foot from slipping out of the shoe. During the opening and closing process, the heel moves away from the heel, while the movable tongue controls the shoe opening to move away from the heel and foot, making the shoe move away from the foot and allowing the foot to easily slip out of the shoe.

[0051] In one specific embodiment of this application, the shoes that are easy to put on and take off also include: a pin (16), which is disposed on the side of the sole near the heel of the shoe, for fixing the closed state of the opening and closing device.

[0052] In this specific embodiment, Figure 8 This is a specific example of a pin for a shoe that is easy to put on and take off and fits well, as described in this application. Under normal circumstances, the elastic force of the elastic connector is sufficient. Without a sufficiently large external force, it is difficult to change the state of the opening and closing device. To ensure that the opening and closing device remains in the closed or open state, a pin is installed on the side of the sole, such as... Figure 8 (a) and Figure 8 As shown in (b), a fixing hole is made at one end of the first component. When the opening and closing device is in the closed state, the fixing hole of the first component is aligned with the pin. At this time, the pin can be pushed into the fixing hole of the first component, thus ensuring that the first component cannot change its state. In addition, when the opening and closing device changes its state, the pin must first be pulled out before external force is applied.

[0053] In the shoes of this application that are easy to put on and take off and fit well, a pivot (8) can be provided for the first component, so that the first component can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the pivot to control the state of the opening device, and thus control the opening and closing state of the heel. The pivot can be located inside or outside the first component. The outside includes the junction of the upper and the sole or the sole. Preferably, the pivot is located inside the first component, so that the first component can rotate counterclockwise or clockwise in place. Alternatively, there is no need to set a real pivot component. In the design, a virtual horizontal axis is designed so that the first component can rotate counterclockwise or clockwise around it.

[0054] Figure 9 This invention illustrates a specific embodiment of a method for wearing shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well.

[0055] exist Figure 9 The specific implementation shown includes a method for wearing shoes that are easy to put on and take off, which mainly includes:

[0056] Step S901: When the foot is inserted into the shoe, the foot applies force to the opening and closing device located on the sole or upper of the shoe. The opening and closing device causes the heel to swing, making the shoe fit snugly against the foot.

[0057] In step S90101, the foot applies force to the first component of the movable part, and the first component rotates counterclockwise under the force, which in turn drives the second component of the movable part to rotate, so that the heel of the shoe is close to the heel of the foot. The first component is located on the sole of the shoe, the second component is located on the heel of the shoe, and the first component and the second component are fixedly connected.

[0058] Step S90102: The closed state of the opening and closing device is maintained by using the fixing member and the flexible connecting member, wherein one end of the flexible connecting member is connected to the first member, and the other end of the flexible connecting member is connected to the end of the fixing member that is closer to the movable member.

[0059] In this specific embodiment, when the opening and closing device is in the open state, i.e., the shoe is currently open, the width of the shoe opening in this state is narrower than the width in the closed state, allowing it to fit snugly against the foot (or wrap around the ankle) and prevent the foot from slipping out of the shoe. When the user's foot steps into the shoe, the ball of the foot applies force to the first component of the moving part, causing the first component to be subjected to a downward force. More precisely, the end of the first component connected to the flexible connecting component is subjected to a downward force. Since the fixing component and the flexible connecting component provide support for the first component when the opening and closing device is in the open state, the first component needs to overcome the force provided by the fixing component and the flexible connecting component to rotate counterclockwise when subjected to a downward force, driving the second component to rotate, so that the heel of the shoe fits snugly against the heel of the foot, and the opening and closing device changes to the closed state, that is, the user can put on the shoes without bending over.

[0060] The method for wearing shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well provided in this application is similar in principle and technical effect to the description of shoes that are easy to put on and take off and fit well, and will not be repeated here.

[0061] In the several embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed apparatus and methods can be implemented in other ways.
