Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sandwich-style multifunctional sanitary insole and its preparation method, belonging to the field of functional insole technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of modern life and the increasing awareness of health, foot hygiene has gradually become a focus of public attention. According to relevant statistics, about 15% of the global population suffers from athlete's foot, odor, and other problems due to the damp environment inside shoes and the proliferation of bacteria. While disposable sanitary insoles on the market have gained widespread attention due to their convenience, they generally suffer from numerous technical defects: In terms of antibacterial performance, traditional insoles mainly rely on finishing antibacterial agents, which are prone to dissolving during use and have extremely poor long-term effectiveness, making it difficult to effectively inhibit bacterial growth and leading to frequent odor problems; in terms of moisture absorption and wicking, most use a simple hot-rolling process for wood pulp, which cannot quickly wick away moisture after absorbing it, resulting in a wet and uncomfortable feeling on the soles of the feet after a few hours of wear, greatly affecting wearing comfort; in terms of anti-slip design, the side in contact with the foot lacks a scientifically designed groove, and its moisture wicking is poor, making it particularly easy to slip when wearing barefoot, and the insole does not have a good fit with the shoe's insole, often slipping out during wear, causing embarrassment and inconvenience; in terms of breathability, the underlying adhesive coating process seals the pores, severely hindering the expulsion of moisture from the shoe, making the internal environment hot and humid. In existing technologies, such as the disposable sanitary insole disclosed in utility model patent CN201509714U, although it solves the sweat absorption problem to some extent, the adhesive-coated fixing layer at the bottom not only contaminates the shoe itself but also results in extremely poor breathability because it prevents sweat from entering the shoe. The disposable odor-absorbing insole containing zeolite disclosed in utility model patent CN220024301U, while improving odor absorption and removal performance by filling the layers with zeolite, often requires users to cut it according to the actual size and shape of the shoe to obtain an insole that matches the shoe size. This process causes the zeolite to fall off, contaminating the shoe and affecting its appearance. In summary, facing these problems of insufficient antibacterial properties, low moisture absorption and wicking efficiency, risk of slippage, and poor breathability, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated disposable sanitary insole solution that combines highly efficient antibacterial properties, dynamic moisture wicking, and slip resistance with breathability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing a sandwich-style multifunctional sanitary insole, comprising the following steps:

[0004] (1) Preparation of non-leaching modified composite ultra-short fiber: Through the core-sheath composite spinning process, porous silica containing nano-oxides is added to the outer substrate, and nano-oxides modified with multiple hydroxyl groups are added to the inner substrate to form core-sheath structure fiber.

[0005] (2) Layered laying: The lower layer is hydrophobic hot air nonwoven fabric, the middle layer is a mixed fiber layer, the mixed fiber layer is a mixture of modified composite ultra-short fiber and water-absorbing wood pulp fiber in a mass ratio of (30-50):(50-70), and the upper layer is pure modified composite ultra-short fiber.

[0006] (3) Hot rolling: Controlling temperature, pressure and speed to composite the three-layer material into a base material;

[0007] (4) Texture treatment: Texture the upper surface to increase friction;

[0008] (5) Anti-slip adhesive coating: Apply adhesive containing micro-nano mesoporous silica to the bottom of the lower layer, and then cut it into shape after drying.

[0009] Preferably, in step (1):

[0010] The outer substrate is selected from at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polylactic acid;

[0011] The inner substrate is selected from at least one of modified polyamide and modified ethylene glycol terephthalate copolyester;

[0012] The nano-oxides are zinc oxide or titanium oxide, and the porous silica has a particle size of 100-500 nm.

[0013] Preferably, the hydrophobic hot air nonwoven fabric is a polyethylene / polyester or polypropylene / polyester bicomponent material with a basis weight of 20-40 g / m². 2 .

[0014] Preferably, the hot rolling temperature is 120-160℃, the pressure is 5-10MPa, and the speed is 2-5m / min.

[0015] Preferably, the mass percentage of micro / nano-porous silica in the anti-slip adhesive is 0.1-0.5%.

[0016] Preferably, the texturing depth of the texturing process is 0.1-0.3 mm, and the texturing density is 5-10 lines / cm.

[0017] Preferably, the sheath to core mass ratio of the non-leaching modified composite short fiber is 1:1, the fiber diameter is 1.5-2.0D, and the cutting length is 3-8mm.

[0018] Preferably, the absorbent wood pulp fiber has a diameter of 2.0D and a cutting length of 5mm.

[0019] This invention also provides a sandwich multifunctional sanitary insole prepared according to the above method, comprising:

[0020] Top layer: Modified composite ultrashort fiber layer that triggers the release of negative ions;

[0021] Middle layer: A moisture-absorbing and wicking mixed fiber layer;

[0022] Bottom layer: Anti-slip and hydrophobic non-woven fabric layer.

[0023] Preferably, its antibacterial rate is ≥96%, its negative ion release is ≥360,000 / cm3, and its moisture wicking rate is 0.8-1.2mL / s.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0025] Controllable release of negative ions: High-voltage electrostatic discharge is triggered by interface separation, eliminating the need for chemical post-treatment and achieving an antibacterial rate of ≥99%.

[0026] One-way moisture wicking: The three-layer material gradient design allows sweat to be quickly wicked from the top layer to the middle layer, keeping feet dry.

[0027] Anti-slip and breathable synergy: Micro-nano mesoporous silica gel water enhances bonding force, while porosity maintains breathability.

[0028] Environmentally friendly and non-leaching: The core fiber structure is stable, avoiding the leaching of chemical additives. Attached Figure Description

[0111] Steps and parameters:

[0113] Outer substrate: Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with 0.1% by mass of nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) porous silica (particle size 300nm).

[0128] The products obtained from all the above embodiments and comparative examples were tested according to the methods in Table 1, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0129] Table 1 Detection Methods

[0130]

[0131] Table 2 Detection Results

[0132]

[0133] Examples 1-3 all showed antibacterial rates ≥99% and negative ion release ≥320,000 / cm³. 3 The results were significantly higher than those of Comparative Example 1 (lacking modified fibers) and Comparative Example 2 (without mixed fibers in the middle layer). The core-sheath structure of the modified fibers triggered electrostatic discharge through interfacial separation, releasing negative ions and inhibiting bacterial growth, while Comparative Example 1, lacking nano-oxide loading, lost its antibacterial ability. The moisture wicking rate of Example 1 reached 1.2 mL / s, while that of Comparative Example 2 (pure wood pulp middle layer) was only 0.6 mL / s. The hydrophilicity of the modified composite ultra-short fibers in the mixed fibers synergistically with the hygroscopicity of the wood pulp fibers, forming a gradient moisture wicking channel. Example 1 had an anti-slip force of 8.5 N and a breathability of 120 mm / s, while the anti-slip force of Comparative Example 3 (without mesoporous silica) plummeted to 3.2 N, while the breathability remained unchanged. Mesoporous silica formed a microstructure in the adhesive to anchor the sole, while its pores maintained breathability. Example 1 was abrasion resistant for 5000 cycles, while Comparative Example 1 (ordinary fibers) only lasted for 3000 cycles. The outer layer of the modified fibers was formed by hot rolling with a low-melting-point polymer to create a dense protective layer. This invention resolves the inherent contradiction between moisture wicking and breathability in traditional insoles through a layered structure and synergistic material composition (moisture wicking-moisture absorption-hydrophobicity). A directional loading process using modified fibers (with the addition of nano-oxides through channels) achieves non-leaching antibacterial properties and negative ion release. The use of mesoporous silica anti-slip adhesive balances both slip resistance and breathability.

The actual application is not limited to this. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar methods and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
