[0001] The present application relates to the production of footwear products, and in particular, to an embedded assembly method of clogs. Background Art

[0002] At present, the production process of most hole shoes on the market still relies on traditional glue bonding technology. This process mainly uses glue to fix the sole and upper together. Although this production method is simple and low-cost, it has the following significant problems:

[0003] 1. Environmental issues: The glue used in traditional glue bonding processes often contains harmful chemicals, especially volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemical components may pollute the environment during production, use and disposal, and even pose potential risks to human health.

[0004] 2. Production efficiency issues: The glue bonding process requires waiting for the glue to cure, which not only prolongs the production cycle, but also increases the complexity of operations in the production process. Glue coating takes time and requires strict temperature and humidity control, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0005] 3. Durability issues: Glue bonding is prone to debonding in long-term use or in a humid environment, affecting the durability of the product. Especially when Crocs are used outdoors or in water, the glue is prone to lose its bonding effect, resulting in damage to the overall structure of the shoe.

[0006] 4. Poor replaceability: The traditional glue bonding structure makes it difficult to disassemble and replace the upper and sole once they are bonded. This means that consumers can only use fixed uppers after purchase, lacking diversity and personalized choices, and limiting the application scenarios of the product.

[0043] 1. Sole

[0044] Material: The sole is made of high polymer wear-resistant material, which has high wear resistance and can provide good anti-slip properties. Commonly used materials include rubber, TPR (thermoplastic rubber), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), etc., which have strong durability and comfort.

[0045] Structure: The inner side of the sole is designed with a precisely machined embedded slot. The shape and size of the slot are precisely calculated to ensure that the embedded parts of the upper can be firmly embedded into the sole and locked. The embedded slot design not only ensures a firm connection between the upper and the sole, but also effectively avoids peeling or debonding problems that may occur when using glue.

[0046] Function: In addition to providing support and comfortable protection for the foot, the embedded slot structure can seamlessly connect the upper and the sole, avoiding the quality problems caused by traditional glue bonding. In addition, the anti-slip pattern of the sole also ensures the stability of the shoe, especially providing good grip in slippery environments.

[0047] 2. Upper

[0048] Material: The upper is made of breathable fabric or synthetic materials, such as polyester, nylon, PVC or TPU, which not only ensures wearing comfort but also can cope with various external environmental conditions. The material of the upper can be changed according to different style requirements to meet different functional and appearance requirements.

[0049] Structure: The bottom edge of the upper is designed with embedded parts that match the slots of the sole. These embedded parts can accurately dock with the slots of the sole.

[0050] Function: The upper is designed to be replaceable. Consumers can replace the uppers of different styles, colors and functions according to their personal preferences or different occasions, so as to achieve multiple styles and uses for a pair of shoes. The uppers of different designs meet the needs of various application scenarios such as leisure, sports, and outdoor.

[0051] 3. Assembly method

[0052] The embedded assembly method of the Crocs of the present invention adopts modular design, so that the sole and the upper can be assembled and disassembled conveniently. The specific steps of the method are as follows:

[0053] Step 1: Sole Preparation

[0054] Make the sole and ensure that there are multiple embedded grooves on the inner side of the sole. The shape, position and depth of the grooves must be precisely designed according to the embedded parts of the upper to ensure that the upper can be accurately and firmly embedded in the sole to avoid looseness.

[0055] Step 2: Upper design and processing

[0056] An embedded component matching the shoe sole slot is designed at the bottom edge of the upper. The component can be elastic plastic or other strong materials to ensure a tight fit with the shoe sole slot to form a stable connection.

[0057] The needs of different styles also need to be considered when designing the upper. A variety of styles of uppers can be designed to meet the needs of different consumers.

[0058] Step 3: Connect the upper and sole

[0059] Align the embedded parts of the upper with the grooves of the sole and use physical force to embed the upper into the sole. This process does not use any glue or adhesive, but achieves a firm connection through physical embedding. The embedded upper can be firmly fixed to the sole to prevent loosening or falling off.

[0060] Step 4: Quality Check

[0061] After assembly, the shoes are quality checked to ensure that the upper and sole are firmly connected and not loose. Also check that the interface between the upper and sole is smooth to avoid discomfort. Durability tests can be performed to ensure the stability of the connection between the upper and sole over long periods of use.

[0062] Step 5: Final inspection and packaging

[0063] After all assembly and inspection is completed, the product undergoes a final inspection to ensure that it meets production standards. Qualified shoes will then be cleaned, packaged, and prepared for shipment.

[0064] Although the present invention has been shown and described primarily with reference to certain embodiments, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that numerous changes may be made thereto in terms of construction scheme and details, etc., without departing from the scope of protection defined by the claims. Thus, the scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims and includes all changes that fall within the meaning or equivalent scope of the claims.
