[0033] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0034] A massage shoe and its manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a massage shoe and its manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present application may include a shoe body 1 and a massage device 2 provided on the sole.

[0036] It can be understood that the shoe body 1 of this massage shoe has a conventional shoe structure. On this basis, a massage device 2 is provided on the sole.

[0037] In the massage device 2, the foot massage cavity 21 plays a key role in bearing and positioning. These massage cavities are distributed in the heel area, arch area, and forefoot area of the sole. During walking, these three areas are the main stress points and also the areas where the sole acupoints are concentrated. The inner surface of each massage cavity is provided with a positioning structure corresponding to the sole acupoints. For example, it may be a groove or protrusion that precisely matches the position of the acupoints, aiming to ensure that the acupoint bump 22 can accurately stimulate the corresponding acupoints.

[0038] A plurality of acupoint bumps 22 are arranged to be slidable within each foot massage cavity 21. When the user wears the shoes and stands or walks, the foot will exert pressure on the acupoint bumps 22. Since the top of each acupoint bump 22 is exposed on the inner surface of the corresponding massage cavity, the foot can directly act on the acupoint bumps 22. Under the action of the pressure, the acupoint bumps 22 will slide along a specific direction.

[0039] The elastic link 23 is the core component for realizing adaptive massage. It is fixed to the bottom of each foot massage cavity 21, with one end firmly connected to the bottom of the foot massage cavity 21 and the other end connected to the acupoint bump 22, and its telescopic direction is the same as the sliding direction of the bump. When the acupoint bump 22 is pressed downward by the foot pressure and slides, the elastic link 23 will be compressed, and at this time, the elastic link 23 stores elastic potential energy. As the pressure changes, for example, when the user lifts the foot and the pressure decreases, the elastic link 23 will use the stored elastic potential energy to return to its original state and drive the acupoint bump 22 to slide upward. Repeating like this, during the user's walking process, according to different stress conditions, the elastic link 23 continuously expands and contracts, and the acupoint bump 22 continuously slides, thereby realizing adaptive massage of the sole acupoints and bringing a comfortable and effective massage experience to the user.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the elastic connecting rod 23 is a helical spring, and its length direction is perpendicular to the bottom surface of each corresponding foot massage cavity 21.

[0041] It can be understood that the length direction of the elastic connecting rod 23 is always perpendicular to the bottom surface of each corresponding foot massage cavity 21. When the user wears this massage shoe and walks, during the walking process, the foot will exert pressure on the acupoint bumps 22 arranged in the foot massage cavity 21. Since the acupoint bumps 22 are connected to the elastic connecting rod 23, and the elastic connecting rod 23 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the foot massage cavity 21, when the acupoint bumps 22 receive downward pressure from the foot, the force will be transmitted along the axial direction of the elastic connecting rod 23.

[0042] Because the elastic connecting rod 23 is a helical spring structure and has good elastic deformation ability, when it is under pressure, it will be compressed along its own length direction, and the distance between the spirals becomes smaller. In this process, the elastic connecting rod 23 converts the pressure exerted by the foot into its own elastic potential energy and stores it.

[0043] When the user lifts the foot, the pressure acting on the acupoint bumps 22 disappears or decreases. At this time, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic connecting rod 23 will be released. Since its length direction is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the foot massage cavity 21, under the action of the elastic potential energy, the elastic connecting rod 23 will extend along the axial direction and return to its original length, thereby driving the acupoint bumps 22 connected thereto to move upward and return to the initial position or close to the initial position. In this way, in the process of the user's continuous walking, the elastic connecting rod 23, relying on the characteristics of its own helical spring and the installation method perpendicular to the bottom surface of the foot massage cavity 21, continuously compresses and extends according to the change of the foot pressure, provides adaptive massage power for the acupoint bumps 22, realizes effective stimulation of the sole acupoints, and improves the massage effect and wearing comfort of the massage shoe.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, a guide groove 24 is provided in the foot massage cavity 21, and the bottom of the acupoint bump 22 is embedded in the guide groove 24 and slides along its axial direction.

[0045] It can be understood that when the user wears the massage shoe and starts to move, the movement of the foot will cause the sole of the foot to come into contact with the acupoint bumps 22 and exert pressure. The bottom of the acupoint bump 22 is embedded in the guide groove 24 in the foot massage cavity 21, and this embedding structure ensures that the movement of the acupoint bump 22 is limited.

[0046] Since the bottom of the acupoint bump 22 fits tightly with the guiding groove 24, under the action of the foot pressure, the acupoint bump 22 can only slide along the axial direction of the guiding groove 24. For example, when the user takes a step and the sole of the foot generates a downward pressure on the acupoint bump 22, the acupoint bump 22 will smoothly move downward along the axial direction of the guiding groove 24 under the constraint of the guiding groove 24.

[0047] During this process, the guiding groove 24 prevents the acupoint bump 22 from shaking, shifting or rotating randomly when under pressure, ensuring that the acupoint bump 22 can always align with the corresponding acupoints on the sole of the foot for precise stimulation.

[0048] When the foot pressure decreases, for example, when the foot is lifted, the elastic connecting rod 23 connected to the acupoint bump 22 will drive the acupoint bump 22 to move upward. At this time, the acupoint bump 22 is still under the constraint of the guiding groove 24 and smoothly moves upward along the axial direction of the guiding groove 24 to return to the initial position or close to the initial position.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the distribution of the acupoint bumps 22 in each area of the foot massage cavity 21 is set according to the sole reflex zones: the acupoint bumps 22 in the heel area massage cavity correspond to the Yongquan acupoint, the insomnia point and the calcaneal tubercle area, the acupoint bumps 22 in the arch area massage cavity correspond to the stomach and kidney reflex zones, and the acupoint bumps 22 in the forefoot area massage cavity correspond to the heart and lung reflex zones.

[0050] It can be understood that, first, look at the foot massage cavity in the heel area. When the user wears the massage shoes and stands or walks, the heel part contacts the acupoint bumps 22 in the corresponding foot massage cavity 21. The distribution of the acupoint bumps 22 in this area corresponds to the Yongquan acupoint, the insomnia point and the calcaneal tubercle area on the sole of the human body. The Yongquan acupoint is regarded as one of the important acupoints of the human body, and stimulating it helps to regulate the body functions, promote blood circulation, etc. When the heel exerts force and generates pressure on the acupoint bump 22 corresponding to the Yongquan acupoint position in the heel area foot massage cavity 21, the acupoint bump 22 generates corresponding displacement changes through the elastic connecting rod 23 connected to it, thereby stimulating the Yongquan acupoint. Similarly, for the acupoint bumps 22 set for the insomnia point and the calcaneal tubercle area, during the movement of the heel, they will also massage the corresponding areas according to the force situation, helping to relieve the fatigue of the heel part and possibly having a positive impact on improving sleep and other aspects.

[0051] Next, look at the foot massage cavity 21 in the arch area. During daily walking, the arch of the foot also bears a certain amount of pressure. The acupoint bumps 22 in the foot massage cavity 21 in the arch area are distributed corresponding to the stomach and kidney reflex areas. When the user's arch contacts these acupoint bumps 22 and generates pressure, the acupoint bumps 22 will slide along a specific direction under the constraint of the guiding groove 24. Through the expansion and contraction of the elastic connecting rod 23, the acupoint bumps 22 stimulate the stomach and kidney reflex areas. This kind of stimulation can, to a certain extent, promote the blood circulation of the corresponding organs inside the body, regulate the body functions, and help maintain the healthy state of the body.

[0052] Finally, look at the foot massage cavity 21 in the forefoot area. When walking, the forefoot is an important part of the foot for exerting force and touching the ground. The acupoint bumps 22 in the foot massage cavity 21 in the forefoot area are distributed corresponding to the heart and lung reflex areas. When the forefoot touches the ground and exerts pressure, the acupoint bumps 22 corresponding to the heart and lung reflex areas in the foot massage cavity 21 in the forefoot area, under the action of the pressure, with the help of the elastic deformation of the elastic connecting rod 23, stimulate the heart and lung reflex areas. This kind of stimulation helps to promote the regulation of the heart and lung functions and enhance the overall vitality of the body.

[0053] By accurately distributing the acupoint bumps 22 in each area of the foot massage cavity 21 according to the plantar reflex areas, and combining the coordinated work of structures such as the elastic connecting rod 23 and the guiding groove 24, this massage shoe can, during the daily walking process of the user, specifically massage the reflex areas of multiple important parts of the human body, bringing a comprehensive and scientific foot massage experience to the user and promoting physical health.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the surface of the insole of the shoe body 1 is covered with a breathable antibacterial layer, and the breathable antibacterial layer is provided with through holes matching the positions of the acupoint bumps 22.

[0055] It can be understood that when the user puts on the massage shoe, the feet directly contact the breathable antibacterial layer on the surface of the insole. The main function of the breathable antibacterial layer is to keep the feet dry and clean. Its breathable performance enables air to circulate between the insole and the feet, effectively preventing the feet from feeling stuffy and sweating a lot due to being in a closed environment for a long time.

[0056] At the same time, the breathable antibacterial layer is provided with through holes matching the positions of the acupoint bumps 22. This ingenious design ensures that the acupoint bumps 22 can play the massage role normally. When the user walks, the feet exert pressure on the acupoint bumps 22, and the acupoint bumps 22 generate corresponding displacement changes through the elastic connecting rod 23 under the pressure, stimulating the acupoints on the sole of the foot. Since the through holes on the breathable antibacterial layer are accurately matched with the positions of the acupoint bumps 22, the acupoint bumps 22 can pass through the through holes and directly contact the sole of the foot without being blocked by the breathable antibacterial layer.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, asFigures 1 - 4 As shown in the figure, a manufacturing method of a massage shoe includes the following steps:

[0058] S1. Mold and form the shoe body 1, and reserve cavities in the heel area, arch area, and forefoot area respectively;

[0059] S2. Fix the elastic connecting rods 23 at the bottom of each cavity, and make the installation direction of the elastic connecting rods 23 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cavity;

[0060] S3. Connect the acupoint bumps 22 to the free ends of the elastic connecting rods 23, and embed the acupoint bumps 22 into the guide grooves 24;

[0061] S4. Cover the closed layer to seal the top of each cavity, so that part of the acupoint bumps 22 protrudes to the surface of the closed layer.

[0062] It can be understood that S1. Mold and form the shoe body 1, and reserve cavities in the heel area, arch area, and forefoot area respectively:

[0063] First, select suitable shoe materials. These materials usually have good flexibility, wear resistance, and support to meet the needs of daily wear.

[0064] Place the prepared shoe materials in a specific shoe mold. Through the molding process, under the action of high temperature and high pressure, the shoe materials gradually fit the shape of the shoe mold and are formed into the shoe body 1. In this process, it is particularly crucial to accurately reserve cavities at the positions corresponding to the heel area, arch area, and forefoot area on the sole part of the shoe body 1. These cavities will be used to install the key components of the massage device later, and their size and position accuracy directly affect the installation effect of the massage device and the realization of the massage function.

[0065] S2. Fix the elastic connecting rods 23 at the bottom of each cavity, and make the installation direction of the elastic connecting rods 23 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cavity:

[0066] After the molding work of the shoe body 1 is completed, take out the shoe body 1 with reserved cavities.

[0067] Next, prepare the elastic connecting rods 23. These elastic connecting rods 23 are usually made of materials with appropriate elastic coefficients to ensure the comfort and stability of the massage effect.

[0068] Use a specific adhesive or mechanical fixing method to firmly fix one end of the elastic connecting rod 23 at the bottom of each cavity. During the fixing process, strictly ensure that the installation direction of the elastic connecting rod 23 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cavity. This is to ensure that when the acupoint bump 22 is subjected to pressure during subsequent use, the elastic connecting rod 23 can expand and contract along the vertical direction, accurately transmit the pressure, and realize the adaptive massage function.

[0069] S3. Connect the acupoint bump 22 to the free end of the elastic link 23 and embed the acupoint bump 22 into the guiding groove 24:

[0070] After the elastic link 23 is fixed, pick up the acupoint bump 22 and tightly connect the acupoint bump 22 to the free end of the elastic link 23 by means of threaded connection, snap connection or other reliable connection methods.

[0071] Meanwhile, note that the guiding groove 24 has been preset in the foot massage cavity 21. Accurately embed the bottom of the acupoint bump 22 connected to the elastic link 23 into the guiding groove 24. The design of the guiding groove 24 can ensure that when the acupoint bump 22 is under pressure, it can only slide along the axis of the guiding groove 24, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the massage and preventing the acupoint bump 22 from shaking or shifting during the working process.

[0072] S4. Cover the closed layer to seal the top of each cavity, so that part of the acupoint bump 22 protrudes to the surface of the closed layer:

[0073] After completing the above steps, select a suitable closed layer material, such as a high-elastic TPU film, etc. Cover the closed layer material on the top of each cavity and tightly combine the closed layer with the shoe body 1 by means of hot pressing, gluing, etc. to ensure that the cavity is completely sealed.

[0074] During the closing process, precisely control the position and fitting degree of the closed layer so that part of the acupoint bump 22 can smoothly protrude to the surface of the closed layer. In this way, when the user wears the massage shoes, the sole of the foot can directly contact the protruding acupoint bump 22, and effective massage of the sole acupoints can be achieved during walking.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the closed layer in step S4 is a hot-pressed high-elastic TPU film with a thickness of 0.5 - 1.2 mm.

[0076] It can be understood that the high-elastic TPU film with a thickness of 0.5 - 1.2 mm is used as the closed layer material. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) has excellent high elasticity, wear resistance and weather resistance, which enables the made closed layer to not only adapt to the frequent telescopic movement of the acupoint bump 22 during the massage process, but also maintain good physical properties for a long time to ensure the durability of the shoes. The thickness range of 0.5 - 1.2 mm has been verified by practice. Within this range, the film can not only have enough strength to withstand the pressure during daily wearing, but also will not affect the normal protrusion of the acupoint bump 22 and the massage effect due to being too thick.

[0077] Specifically, when the user puts on the shoe body 1, the foot directly contacts the breathable antibacterial layer on the surface of the insole, and the through holes on the breathable antibacterial layer that match the positions of the acupuncture point 22 ensure that the acupuncture point 22 can pass through and directly contact the sole of the foot.

[0078] When the user starts walking, the area where the foot touches the ground first will change according to the walking posture. Assuming that the heel touches the ground first, the heel part contacts and applies pressure to the acupuncture point 22 in the foot massage cavity 21 in the heel area. These acupuncture point 22 are distributed corresponding to the Yongquan acupoint, insomnia point and calcaneal tubercle area. Under the action of pressure, the acupuncture point 22 is displaced through the elastic connecting rod 23 connected to the bottom. The elastic connecting rod 23 is a spiral spring structure and is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the foot massage cavity 21. After being subjected to force, it is compressed axially to store elastic potential energy. At the same time, the acupuncture point 22 is constrained by the guide groove 24 and slides smoothly downward along the axial direction of the guide groove 24 to stimulate the corresponding acupuncture point.

[0079] As the steps advance, the arch of the foot is gradually stressed, and the acupuncture point convex point 22 corresponding to the stomach and kidney reflex zone in the arch area foot massage cavity 21 is pressurized. Similarly, the acupuncture point convex point 22 is displaced under the action of the elastic connecting rod 23, slides in the guide groove 24, stimulates the stomach and kidney reflex zone, and promotes blood circulation of the corresponding organs inside the body.

[0080] When the forefoot touches the ground, the acupuncture point convex points 22 corresponding to the heart and lung reflex zones in the forefoot area foot massage cavity 21 are subjected to pressure, the elastic connecting rod 23 is compressed, and the acupuncture point convex points 22 slide in the guide groove 24, stimulating the heart and lung reflex zones and regulating the heart and lung functions.

[0081] During the whole walking process, when the foot pressure decreases, for example, when the foot is lifted, the elastic connecting rod 23 releases the stored elastic potential energy, stretches along the axial direction, drives the acupuncture point 22 to move upward along the axial direction smoothly under the constraint of the guide groove 24, returns to the initial position or close to the initial position, and prepares for the next change in foot pressure. Through such a continuous cycle, the massage shoe utilizes the coordinated work of the shoe body 1, the foot massage cavity 21 in the massage device 2, the acupuncture point 22, the elastic connecting rod 23, and the guide groove 24 to provide users with a continuous and effective foot massage experience.

[0082] In summary, a massage shoe and a manufacturing method thereof according to an embodiment of the present application connects the acupoint convex points through an elastic connecting rod, can adaptively adjust the massage intensity according to the pressure changes when the human body walks, has a good massage effect, and can improve the wearing comfort. The massage device has a simple structure and low cost, does not require an additional power supply or power device, is easy to use, and has low maintenance cost. The distribution of the acupoint convex points is set according to the reflex zone of the sole of the foot, which can stimulate the acupoints of the sole of the foot more accurately, promote blood circulation, and enhance physical health.
