Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of textile technology, and particularly relates to a knitted shoe upper with a folded tongue and a knitting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Conventional shoes can generally be divided into two main parts, namely a shoe body and a sole. The shoe body is also generally composed of two parts, namely a tongue and a shoe upper.

[0003] In traditional shoes, some tongues are connected with shoe uppers only by a small part of the edge, and the remaining edge area is separated from the shoe upper. The shoe upper using this process often causes the tongue to deviate from the position and overlap with the shoe upper in daily wear, which not only cannot well protect the area of the foot, but also has an impact on the overall appearance of the shoe.

[0004] Some shoe uppers are also connected with tongues in a semi-enclosed manner, but the physiological curve characteristics of everyone's feet are different, and the habits and use scenarios of wearing shoes are also different, so users have different requirements for the overall tightness of the shoe upper. Therefore, the traditional process of connecting the shoe upper with the tongue in a semi-enclosed manner cannot well solve the problem. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides a knitted shoe upper with a folded tongue.

[0006] The present application discloses a knitted shoe upper with a folded tongue, which comprises a shoe upper body knitted integrally, the shoe upper body comprising a shoe upper knitted area, an eyelet knitted area, a tongue knitted area and a folded knitted area, the folded knitted area being between the eyelet knitted area and the tongue knitted area, the eyelet knitted area being overlapped with the tongue when folded through the folded knitted area, the angle of the folded knitted area being less than 90° when unfolded, the folded knitted area being folded at least once, the folded knitted area covering at least part of the tongue when folded, the folded knitted area and the eyelet knitted area and the tongue knitted area being connected by transition knitting through a shoveling needle, and the folded knitted area and the eyelet knitted area being provided with mesh holes.

[0007] Preferably, the mesh holes of the eyelet knitted area are at least partially overlapped with the mesh holes of the folded knitted area when folded.

[0008] Preferably, the eyelet knitted area is knitted by a shoveling needle.

[0009] Preferably, the folded knitted area is a single-layer or multi-layer structure.

[0010] Preferably, the folded knitted area is knitted on at least one side of the tongue knitted area.

[0011] Preferably, the folded woven area is transversely folded or folded with an inclined angle.

[0012] The present application also provides a knitting method of a knitted shoe upper with a folded tongue, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: knitting a side shoe body and a collar;

[0014] Step 2: shoveling to knit a shoe body eyelet area, the eyelet area extending to the tongue area and covering a part of the tongue, the eyelet area having a long strip-shaped through hole formed by local knitting;

[0015] Step 3: shoveling to knit a side folding area connecting the side shoe body and the tongue, the folding area having the same shape as the eyelet area, the connection being a part of the multi-layered eyelet area, the folding area being transitioned to a single-layered knitting row by tucking as a folding line, then being transitioned to a multi-layered knitting row by simultaneously knitting forward and backward, the folding area also being knitted with a long strip-shaped through hole, the long strip-shaped through hole of the folding area being partially or completely coincident with that of the eyelet area in the folded state covered by the eyelet area;

[0016] Step 4: transitioning the multi-layered folding area to a single-layered knitting row by tucking as a folding line, then being transitioned to a multi-layered knitting row by simultaneously knitting forward and backward, then knitting a toe part and a tongue part, the folding area being folded and hidden between the eyelet area and the tongue through two folding lines;

[0017] Step 5: after the tongue is knitted, the multi-layered tongue is transitioned to a single-layered knitting row by tucking to form a folding line connecting the other side folding area, then the other side folding area with a long strip-shaped through hole is knitted by knitting forward and backward;

[0018] Step 6: after the other side folding area is knitted, the other side folding area is transitioned to a single-layered knitting row by tucking to form a folding line connecting the other side shoe body eyelet area, then the multi-layered eyelet area with a long strip-shaped through hole is knitted, the long strip-shaped through hole of the eyelet area being partially or completely coincident with that of the folding area after being folded;

[0019] Step 7: knitting the other side shoe body and the collar area until the knitting is completed.

[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The shoe upper and the tongue are semi-enclosed and connected together, solving the problem of the tongue position deviating;

[0022] 2. The part connecting the tongue and the shoe body is knitted with a foldable area, which can disperse the unbalanced force transmitted by the inner and outer shoe bodies and can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the needs of different wearers.

[0023] 3. The folded tongue can shape many unique and visually-impactful uppers, providing consumers with products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
