[0032] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0034] See Figures 1-6This embodiment discloses a detachable fin, including a shoe body 1 and two webbed feet 2. The two webbed feet 2 are located on both sides of the shoe body 1, and both webbed feet 2 can be detachably assembled with the shoe body 1. In this embodiment, the webbed feet 2 do not extend beyond the front end of the shoe body 1, so that the webbed feet 2 can move more reliably with the shoe body 1 in the water, thereby improving stability.

[0035] The webbed plate 2 in this embodiment includes an outer sleeve 201 and an inner insert 202. The outer sleeve 201 covers the inner insert 202, with the inner insert 202 exposed on the side facing the shoe body 1. A detachable connection structure between the webbed plate 2 and the shoe body 1 is provided on the inner insert 202. The webbed plate 2 in this embodiment is formed by combining the inner insert 202 and the outer sleeve 201, which facilitates the manufacture of the webbed plate 2 with two different materials, allowing the webbed plate 2 to have both reliable assembly function and a certain water propulsion effect. For example, the inner insert 202 in this embodiment can be made of hard rubber, while the outer sleeve 201 can be made of soft rubber. The harder inner insert 202 can be better assembled with the shoe body 1, while the softer outer sleeve 201 ensures sufficient water propulsion effect. The webbed plate 2 with the combination of soft and hard materials has a better and more comprehensive effect. Moreover, during the assembly and disassembly of the webbed plate 2 and the shoe body 1, the harder inner insert 202 cooperates with the shoe body 1, making the assembly and disassembly operations easier.

[0036] Furthermore, the insert 202 in this embodiment can be divided into a connecting part 2021 and a combining part 2022. The connecting part 2021 is a part that can be detached from the shoe body 1 and is located on one side of the combining part 2022. In this embodiment, a groove 206 is provided in the connecting part 2021. The combining part 2022 has a sheet-like structure, and both its upper and lower surfaces are provided with raised strips 205 to further improve the stability of the combination with the outer sleeve 201.

[0037] In this embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the outer sleeve 201 are provided with a plurality of raised ribs 203, which extend obliquely or in an arc from back to front. A flange 204 is provided on the side of the outer sleeve 201 away from the shoe body 1, and the flange 204 protrudes from both the upper and lower surfaces of the outer sleeve 201. The design of the ribs 203 and the flange 204 enhances the water propulsion effect of the webbed plate 2. In addition, the performance structure design on the webbed plate 2 in this embodiment can also refer to existing technologies to provide a water propulsion effect. For example, guide channels, guide holes, etc., can be provided on the webbed plate 2, or only two or three of the ribs 203, guide holes, and flange 204 can be combined.

[0038] In this embodiment, protrusions 106 are provided on both sides of the shoe body 1 at the corresponding positions of the ribs 203. After the web plate 2 is assembled on the shoe body 1, the protrusions 106 and the ribs 203 form a whole.

[0039] In this embodiment, the shoe body 1 and the web plate 2 are detachably assembled via a connecting structure. The connecting structure includes a protrusion 104 and a groove 206, both extending along the length of the shoe body 1. The protrusion 104 is adapted to the groove 206, and the protrusion 104 can be inserted into the groove 206 from one end. Specifically, in this embodiment, the protrusion 104 is disposed on the side of the shoe body 1, and the groove 206 is disposed on the inner insert 202 of the web plate 2. Alternatively, the protrusion 104 can be disposed on the web plate 2, and the groove 206 on the side of the shoe body 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the upper and lower sides of the protruding strip 104 are provided with recessed grooves 105, and the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the groove 206 are provided with inner bosses 207; in the assembled state, the inner bosses 207 are correspondingly embedded in the recessed grooves 105. In this way, the mutual interlocking of the recessed grooves 105 and the inner bosses 207 is beneficial to further improve the reliability of the assembled web plate 2 and the shoe body 1, and to prevent the web plate 2 from coming off in the width direction of the shoe body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the inner groove 105 is closed, and the other end is open. This allows the engagement of the protrusion 104 and the groove 206 to begin from the open end of the inner groove 105, and then proceed along the length of the shoe body 1, i.e., the extending direction of the protrusion 104 and the groove 206, until they are fully engaged. The closed end of the inner groove 105 effectively prevents the protrusion 104 and the groove 206 from over-fitting and misaligning.

[0042] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, several fasteners 4 can be provided at the connection position between the web plate 2 and the shoe body 1; several fixing holes 5 are provided on the web plate 2 and the shoe body 1; during assembly, the fasteners 4 are inserted into the fixing holes 5 of the web plate 2 and the shoe body 1 to improve the assembly reliability of the web plate 2 and the shoe body 1.

[0043] In conjunction with the embedded groove 105 structure of this embodiment, a fixing member 4 is provided between each webbed piece 2 and the shoe body 1, located at one end near the opening of the embedded groove 105. This allows it to mutually constrain the closed end of the embedded groove 105, ensuring that the webbed piece 2 and the shoe body 1 are not easily loosened after assembly. The fixing member 4 in this embodiment is similar to a pin, with an opening and a step at the end. It can be easily inserted into the fixing holes 5 of the webbed piece 2 and the shoe body 1 through deformation, while the step effectively prevents it from falling off. Other structural forms can also be used for the fixing member 4 in this embodiment.

[0044] In addition to the above, the connection structure of this embodiment can also take other forms. For example, it can also be a combination of a protruding strip 104 and a groove 206, with the protruding strip 104 being convex and the groove 206 being concave. This combination provides better stability and anti-detachment properties. Furthermore, besides using the form of protruding strip 104 and groove 206, the connection structure can also adopt implementation methods such as snap-fit.

[0045] The shoe body 1 of this embodiment includes a sole 102 and an upper 101. The upper 101 covers the sole 102 to form a cavity, which is used to fit the foot. The front and rear ends of the cavity are hollowed out; the two webbed feet 2 are detachably assembled with the sides of the upper 101. The front end of the shoe body 1 of this embodiment is also hollowed out, which helps to improve the comfort of the user when wearing it.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an adjustment strap 3 is provided at the rear end of the shoe body 1, with both ends of the adjustment strap 3 being adjustablely connected to the rear sides of the shoe body 1. Specifically, the adjustment strap 3 in this embodiment has multiple holes 301, and button seats 103 are correspondingly provided on both sides of the rear end of the shoe upper 101 of the shoe body 1. The holes 301 on the adjustment strap 3 are adapted to fasten onto the button seats 103, so as to facilitate the detachment and adjustment of the adjustment strap 3 and the shoe body 1. At the same time, the adjustment strap 3 can be flipped upward, causing the adjustment strap 3 and the button seats 103 to rotate, so that the adjustment strap 3 flips up to the top of the shoe upper 101, providing users with a variety of wearing methods.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
