Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of footwear technology, and more particularly to a temperature-controlled shoe, specifically a temperature-controlled shoe that regulates the temperature inside the shoe through active heating and airflow circulation. Background Technology

[0002] As footwear becomes increasingly intelligent, the thermal management mechanism of temperature-controlled shoes is evolving from "one-way heat dissipation" to "two-way temperature control." However, the current mainstream solutions still rely on a crude control logic. Their core bottleneck lies in the lack of proactive and precise opening and closing control of the airflow path, making it impossible to independently manage and adjust the intake and exhaust processes as needed. Specifically, most products only have simple ventilation holes or a single air duct on the shoe body, with airflow entering and exiting synchronously. This makes it difficult for the system to flexibly switch operating modes according to actual usage scenarios (such as rapid exhaust, maintaining a constant temperature, or active insulation). When enhanced heat dissipation is needed, airflow circulation efficiency is insufficient, while when maintaining temperature is required, it cannot effectively block the exchange of air between the inside and outside, resulting in continuous and unnecessary energy loss.

[0003] While some designs attempt to improve comfort by incorporating fan speed control or zoned control of heating elements, the lack of independent, precise locking valves at the air intake and exhaust ports fundamentally limits the thermodynamic efficiency of the entire system. For example, when heating is activated in low-temperature environments, if the exhaust port cannot be tightly closed, hot air will continuously leak out, forcing the heating element to operate at high power to compensate for heat loss, resulting in increased energy consumption. Conversely, when only ventilation is needed, poor air intake leads to low fan efficiency. This lack of independent, controllable switching capabilities for both intake and exhaust makes it difficult to create a stable, efficient, and energy-saving microclimate within the shoe, severely restricting the adaptability of temperature-controlled shoes under complex and changing conditions and the user experience. Therefore, how to achieve independent, reliable, and intelligent control over the intake and exhaust channels to build a flexible, energy-efficient thermal circulation system has become a core problem urgently needing to be solved in this field.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a temperature-controlled shoe that can effectively solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a temperature-controlled shoe with a simple structure. The air intake and exhaust channels are equipped with valve mechanisms that can be independently and precisely locked, which can accurately control the airflow in the air intake and exhaust channels, thereby improving thermal management efficiency while ensuring wearing comfort.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A temperature-controlled shoe, comprising:

[0008] The sole of the shoe is equipped with a blower.

[0009] The shoe upper is connected to the sole to form a wearing space. The blowing device is used to exhaust the excess heat in the wearing space to the outside of the shoe to reduce the temperature in the wearing space. The temperature-controlled shoe is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The blowing device includes an air outlet and an air intake, the air outlet and the air outlet are connected to form an exhaust channel, and the air intake is connected to the air inlet to form an air intake channel.

[0010] An exhaust valve switch is provided in the exhaust channel;

[0011] An intake valve switch is provided in the intake channel;

[0012] The exhaust valve switch is used to regulate or cut off the airflow through the exhaust passage, and the intake valve switch is used to regulate or cut off the airflow through the intake passage.

[0013] As an improvement of the present invention, a breathable insole disposed within the wearing space is also included. The breathable insole has a breathable structure, which includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air inlet channel to allow airflow to pass through and enter the wearing space. The air outlet is connected to the air outlet channel to allow airflow to pass through and exit the wearing space. The air inlet is connected to the air outlet, the air inlet, and the air inlet to form an air inlet channel.

[0014] As an improvement of the present invention, the exhaust valve switch includes an exhaust blocking element, and the intake valve switch includes an intake blocking element; the exhaust blocking element moves to close or open the exhaust passage, and the intake blocking element moves to close or open the intake passage; the closure of the exhaust passage by the exhaust blocking element and the closure of the intake passage by the intake blocking element are both flexible contact closures.

[0015] As an improvement of the present invention, the sole includes at least one partially enclosed space defined by a flexible material to prevent airflow outside the enclosed space from entering, while allowing the exhaust valve switch and / or the intake valve switch disposed in the enclosed space to close or open the corresponding airflow channel by the deformation of the flexible material without compromising the integrity of the enclosed space.

[0016] As an improvement of the present invention, it also includes a heating element for generating heat; the ventilated insole is provided with a ventilated groove and a support ridge for defining the ventilated groove, and the heating element is disposed on the support ridge.

[0017] As an improvement of the present invention, the exhaust blocking element is configured to directly block the exhaust passage, and the intake blocking element is configured to directly block the intake passage.

[0018] As an improvement of the present invention, it also includes an elastic isolator, the elastic isolator comprising a first isolator and a second isolator, the exhaust blocking element being configured to indirectly block the exhaust passage through the first isolator, and the intake blocking element being configured to indirectly block the intake passage through the second isolator.

[0019] As an improvement of the present invention, the exhaust passage is provided with an exhaust hose between the exhaust port and the blowing port, and the air intake passage is provided with an air intake hose at the air intake port; the exhaust blocking element is configured to close the exhaust passage by squeezing the exhaust hose, and the air intake blocking element is configured to close the air intake passage by squeezing the air intake hose.

[0020] As an improvement of the present invention, a valve control assembly is also included. The valve control assembly includes a first drive motor, a second drive motor, a first drive screw driven by the first drive motor, and a second drive screw driven by the second drive motor. The exhaust valve switch is provided with a first drive thread portion that is threadedly engaged with the first drive screw. The first drive motor drives the exhaust sealing element to move to control the closing or opening of the exhaust passage through the engagement of the first drive screw and the first drive thread portion. The intake valve switch is provided with a second drive thread portion that is threadedly engaged with the second drive screw. The second drive motor drives the intake sealing element to move to control the closing or opening of the intake passage through the engagement of the second drive screw and the second drive thread portion.

[0021] As an improvement of the present invention, it also includes a control unit, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the shoe, and a displacement sensor; the control unit is configured to control the opening and closing of the first drive motor, the second drive motor, and the blowing device based on the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor and the temperature data preset by the user; it also includes a displacement sensor, which is configured to detect the position of the exhaust sealing element and / or the air intake sealing element, and when it detects that the element has moved to a fully open position or a fully closed position, it sends a signal to the control unit so that the control unit controls the first drive motor and / or the second drive motor to stop rotating.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through the optimized design of the above structure, the heating element is integrated into the support ridge of the breathable insole, forming a stable heat source base. This design not only ensures that heat can fully cover all areas of the sole, but also effectively avoids local overheating through directional flow. The enclosed space jointly constructed by the upper and sole works in conjunction with the internal heat circulation system to form a complete "heat generation-directional transmission-insulation" closed loop. The air valve switch set in the air intake and exhaust channels works in conjunction with the intelligent control system to automatically adjust the working state according to the temperature inside the shoe, realizing intelligent switching between heating, insulation, and ventilation modes. The heating element in the support ridge and the airflow channel in the ventilation groove form a highly efficient heat exchange system. The airflow flows orderly in the groove, fully absorbing the heat generated by the heating element and then evenly diffusing it to the entire foot space, greatly improving the heat utilization efficiency and the uniformity of distribution. This structural design enables this product to significantly improve wearing comfort while ensuring excellent warmth retention, effectively solving the technical problems of uneven heat distribution and energy waste in traditional temperature-controlled shoes.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 12 A temperature-controlled shoe, comprising:

[0049] The sole 100 is equipped with a blower 110 inside the sole 100;

[0050] Heating element 200, the heating element 200 being used to generate heat;

[0051] The upper 300 is connected to the sole 100 to form a wearing space 400. The blower 110 is used to exhaust the residual heat in the wearing space 400 to the outside of the shoe, so as to reduce the temperature in the wearing space 400.

[0052] Through the aforementioned air valve control system, the sole 100, acting as the system carrier, not only provides support but also drives airflow through the built-in blower 110. The heating element 200, as the core heat source, can independently generate heat as needed. This structure enables bidirectional temperature regulation: when heating is required, the heating element 200 operates, and the blower 110 shuts off, promoting a rapid temperature rise within the wearing space 400; when cooling is needed, the heating element 200 stops operating, and the blower 110 operates independently, quickly expelling residual heat from the wearing space 400 through airflow. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional temperature-controlled shoes that can only heat in one direction, allowing the product to adapt to more usage scenarios, effectively meeting both warmth needs in cold environments and heat dissipation needs after exercise. Secondly, the active heat dissipation mechanism effectively solves problems such as stuffiness and discomfort caused by overheating of the feet, significantly improving wearing comfort. Finally, this intelligent temperature management method extends the product's effective usage time, improves energy efficiency, and provides users with a more comprehensive all-weather foot protection solution. It should be noted that although the blower 110 in this embodiment uses a fan, it can also be replaced by a device such as an air pump.

[0053] In this embodiment, the sole 100 is provided with an air inlet 120 and an exhaust outlet 130; the blowing device 110 includes an air outlet 111 and an air inlet 112, the air outlet 111 and the exhaust outlet 130 are connected to form an exhaust channel 140, and the air inlet 112 and the air inlet 120 are connected to form an air intake channel 150; the temperature-controlled shoe also includes an exhaust valve switch 500 and an air intake valve switch 600, the exhaust valve switch 500 is disposed in the exhaust channel 140, and the air intake valve switch 600 is disposed in the air intake channel 150. Through the above-mentioned air path and valve control structure, the air inlet 120, the exhaust outlet 130 and the blowing device 110 together constitute a complete and precisely controllable airflow circulation system. Specifically, external air enters through the air inlet 120, flows through the air intake channel 150 to the air intake 112 of the blower 110, and is finally drawn into the blower 110 through the air intake 112, and then discharged outside the shoe through the air outlet 111 and the exhaust channel 140, forming an internal and external air convection. During this cycle, the intake valve switch 600 located in the air intake channel 150 and the exhaust valve switch 500 located in the exhaust channel 140 play a crucial regulatory role. The key is that the intake valve switch 600 and the exhaust valve switch 500 can be independently driven and controlled by the control unit 1100, and the heating element 200 can also be precisely controlled independently of the blower 110. This allows the system to achieve various refined operating modes. When only temperature increase is needed without fanning, the heating element 200 can be activated independently while keeping the air valve closed, achieving silent heating and efficient heat preservation. When only ventilation is needed for heat dissipation, the blower 110 and air valve can be activated independently without starting the heating element 200, achieving energy-saving ventilation. This multi-independent control design, through the independent control of the heating element 200, decouples temperature management from airflow management, allowing users to finely adjust heating and ventilation intensity according to their comfort needs. For example, in scenarios requiring only heating, the heating function can be used independently without starting the fan, saving energy, reducing noise, and significantly extending battery life. Finally, this design, through the flexible combination of various functional modules, enables the product to intelligently adapt to more usage scenarios, fundamentally solving the comprehensive problems of traditional temperature-controlled shoes—limited functionality, high energy consumption, and poor user experience—significantly improving the product's practicality and market competitiveness. The power supply 1500 used in this embodiment is a rechargeable lithium battery. It should be noted that although in this embodiment the sole 100 is provided with an air inlet 120 and an exhaust outlet 130, the air inlet 120 and exhaust outlet 130 can also be provided on the upper of the shoe. Figures 17 to 18 As shown, an embodiment of setting an air inlet 120 on the shoe upper is given. First, a blind hole is made in the sole, and then the air inlet 120 is moved to the shoe upper through the connecting pipe 310, so that there is no hole on the side of the sole 100, so as to ensure the integrity of the appearance of the side of the sole 100.

[0054] In this embodiment, the exhaust valve switch 500 includes an exhaust blocking element 510, and the intake valve switch 600 includes an intake blocking element 610. The exhaust blocking element 510 moves to close or open the exhaust passage 140, and the intake blocking element 610 moves to close or open the intake passage 150. With this structure, in use, the exhaust blocking element 510 physically closes or opens the exhaust passage 140 through linear movement, and the intake blocking element 610 controls the opening and closing of the intake passage 150 in the same way. This direct-blocking mechanical structure ensures airtightness when the valve is closed through direct contact sealing between the element and the passage. Secondly, the linear movement control method provides rapid response, enabling quick switching of the air path and improving the real-time performance of system adjustment. Finally, this mechanical blocking structure is simple and reliable, with low manufacturing costs, long service life, and convenient maintenance, providing a solid foundation for the stable operation of the entire airflow circulation system. It should be noted that the sealing of the exhaust passage 140 by the exhaust sealing element 510 and the sealing of the intake passage 150 by the intake sealing element 610 are both flexible contact seals. A flexible contact seal means that at least one of the two contact surfaces formed by the seal can undergo a slight deformation, thereby better sealing of the passage and achieving better airtightness.

[0055] In this embodiment, a valve control assembly 700 is also included. The valve control assembly 700 includes a first drive motor 710, a second drive motor 720, a first drive screw 730 driven by the first drive motor 710, and a second drive screw 740 driven by the second drive motor 720. The exhaust valve switch 500 is provided with a first drive thread portion 520 that is threadedly engaged with the first drive screw 730. The first drive motor 710 drives the exhaust blocking element 510 to move through the engagement of the first drive screw 730 and the first drive thread portion 520 to control the closing or opening of the exhaust passage 140. The intake valve switch 600 is provided with a second drive thread portion 620 that is threadedly engaged with the second drive screw 740. The second drive motor 720 drives the intake blocking element 610 to move through the engagement of the second drive screw 740 and the second drive thread portion 620 to control the closing or opening of the intake passage 150. Through the above structural design, the valve control component 700 achieves precise automated control of the air valve opening and closing during use. Specifically, the first drive motor 710 drives the first drive screw 730 to rotate, forming a helical transmission mechanism with the first drive thread 520 on the exhaust valve switch 500. This converts the motor's rotational motion into linear displacement of the exhaust sealing element 510, thereby precisely controlling the opening and closing of the exhaust passage 140. Similarly, the second drive motor 720, through the cooperation of the second drive screw 740 and the second drive thread 620, independently drives the linear motion of the intake sealing element 610, achieving precise control of the intake passage 150. This transmission structure design, using a motor-driven screw transmission method, not only achieves automated control of the air valve opening and closing but also precisely controls the position of the sealing element, enabling stepless adjustment of the air passage opening and improving the system's control accuracy. Furthermore, the screw drive has a self-locking characteristic, maintaining the current position of the sealing element after the motor stops operating. This allows the air passage to remain open or closed without continuous power supply, saving energy and ensuring system reliability. Finally, the independent configuration of the two drive systems enables asymmetrical control of the intake and exhaust channels, providing the system with more flexible and diverse operating modes, thereby significantly improving the intelligence level and temperature regulation accuracy of the entire heating system.

[0056] In this embodiment, the exhaust passage 140 is provided with an exhaust hose 900 at the exhaust port 130, and the air intake passage 150 is provided with an air intake hose 1000 at the air intake port 120; the exhaust blocking element 510 is configured to close the exhaust passage 140 by squeezing the exhaust hose 900, and the air intake blocking element 610 is configured to close the air intake passage 150 by squeezing the air intake hose 1000. With the above-described structure, during use, the exhaust channel 140 has an exhaust hose 900 at the exhaust port 130, and the intake channel 150 has an intake hose 1000 at the intake port 120. The exhaust sealing element 510 closes the exhaust channel 140 by squeezing the exhaust hose 900, and the intake sealing element 610 closes the intake channel 150 by squeezing the intake hose 1000. This hose-squeezing sealing structure design achieves non-contact fluid control: the exhaust sealing element 510 and the intake sealing element 610 do not directly contact the air flowing through the channel, but rather achieve the opening and closing control of the channel by deforming the hose through mechanical squeezing. This hose-squeezing sealing method achieves complete airtight isolation. When the hose is completely flattened, it can completely block the airflow, effectively preventing any form of leakage and ensuring zero heat loss in the insulation mode. Secondly, this non-contact control avoids direct contact between the sealing element and the flowing air, preventing corrosion and contamination of the element by moisture and dust, and eliminating interference with airflow quality caused by the movement of the element. Furthermore, this structure exhibits excellent environmental adaptability. The elastic properties of the hose automatically compensate for the displacement error of the sealing element, reducing the requirements for component machining and assembly precision. Simultaneously, the hose, as a consumable part, can be replaced individually, significantly reducing system maintenance costs and complexity, and extending overall service life. This simple and reliable design significantly improves product durability and economy while ensuring control precision. It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the exhaust sealing element 510 and the intake sealing element 610 are located in a relatively sealed space. The outer surfaces of the exhaust hose 900 and the intake hose 1000 constitute part of the boundary of the sealed space. The channels defined by the inner surfaces of the exhaust hose 900 and the intake hose 1000 form airflow channels. The exhaust sealing element 510 and the intake sealing element 610 compress the outer surfaces of the exhaust hose 900 and the intake hose 1000, causing part of the inner surfaces of the exhaust hose 900 and the intake hose 1000 to adhere, thereby sealing the corresponding airflow channels.

[0057] In this embodiment, it further includes a control unit 1100 and a temperature sensor 1200 for detecting the temperature inside the shoe; the control unit 1100 is configured to control the on and off of the first driving motor 710, the second driving motor 720 and the blowing device 110 according to the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor 1200 and the temperature data preset by the user. Through the setting of the above structure, during use, the coordinated setting of the control unit 1100 and the temperature sensor 1200 constitutes the intelligent control core of the entire temperature-controlled shoe. The temperature sensor 1200 is responsible for real-time monitoring of the actual temperature in the wearing space 400 and feeding back the detected data to the control unit 1100; the control unit 1100 then compares and analyzes the received real-time temperature data with the target temperature data preset by the user through the built-in control logic, and outputs control instructions accordingly to precisely coordinate the on and off of the first driving motor 710, the second driving motor 720 and the blowing device 110. This closed-loop intelligent temperature control system realizes a qualitative change of the temperature-controlled shoe from "manual operation" to "intelligent perception and adjustment". The system can automatically maintain the temperature inside the shoe within the comfortable range set by the user without manual intervention, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of use. Secondly, through precise linkage control, the ineffective operation of the heating element 200 and the blowing device 110 is avoided, as well as the heat loss caused by the accidental opening of the air valve in the heat preservation mode, thus significantly improving the energy utilization efficiency and extending the battery life. Finally, this intelligent control system ensures the efficient coordination of the three major functional modules of heating, ventilation and heat preservation, fundamentally solving the user pain points of large temperature fluctuations, high energy consumption and frequent manual adjustment of traditional temperature-controlled shoes, and providing users with a stable, comfortable and efficient foot thermal management experience.

[0058] In this embodiment, a displacement sensor 1300 is also included. The displacement sensor 1300 is configured to detect the position of the exhaust blocking element 510 and / or the intake blocking element 610. When it detects that the element has moved to a fully open or fully closed position, it sends a signal to the control unit 1100, causing the control unit 1100 to control the first drive motor 710 and / or the second drive motor 720 to stop rotating. Through the above structural configuration, the displacement sensor 1300 establishes a precise feedback mechanism for the valve movement. Its core function is to monitor the actual displacement of the exhaust blocking element 510 and / or the intake blocking element 610 in real time. When it detects that either blocking element has accurately reached the preset limit position of fully open or fully closed, the displacement sensor 1300 immediately sends a position arrival signal to the control unit 1100. This position feedback structure enables precise closed-loop control of the motor operation. Upon receiving the positioning signal, the control unit 1100 can immediately cut off the power supply to the first drive motor 710 and / or the second drive motor 720, effectively avoiding overload damage, energy waste, and mechanical wear caused by the motor continuously operating in a stalled state, significantly improving the system's reliability and service life. Secondly, this design ensures the deterministic nature of the valve's opening and closing state, fundamentally preventing problems such as insufficient airtightness or incomplete opening due to components not being in position, making the execution of heating and heat preservation functions more precise and reliable. Finally, the introduction of the displacement sensor 1300 enables the entire air circuit control system to form a complete "command-execution-feedback" intelligent closed loop, providing crucial assurance for the stable and efficient operation of the temperature-controlled shoes.

[0059] In this embodiment, a breathable insole 1400 is also provided within the wearing space 400. The breathable insole 1400 has a breathable groove 1410 and a support protrusion 1420 for defining the breathable groove 1410. The heating element 200 is disposed on the support protrusion 1420. The breathable insole 1400 has a breathable structure 1430, which includes an air inlet 1431 and an air outlet 1432. The air inlet 1431 is connected to the air inlet channel 150 to allow airflow to pass through and enter the wearing space 400. The air outlet 1432 is connected to the exhaust channel 140 to allow airflow to pass through and exit the wearing space 400. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the air inlet 1431 is formed by opening an air inlet notch at the front edge of the breathable insole 1400, and the air outlet 1432 is formed by opening an air outlet hole at the rear of the breathable insole 1400. However, this does not mean that the air inlet 1431 can only appear in the form of an air inlet notch; it can also appear in the form of an air inlet hole. Similarly, the air outlet 1432 can also appear in the form of an air outlet notch. The breathable insole 1400, located within the wearing space 400, constructs an efficient heat transfer and airflow circulation system through its innovative three-dimensional structural design. The ventilated insole 1400 has ventilated grooves 1410 and supporting protrusions 1420 for defining these grooves. The heating element 200 is integrated inside the supporting protrusions 1420. Simultaneously, the insole also has a ventilated structure 1430 including an air inlet 1431 and an air outlet 1432. The air inlet 1431 is connected to an air inlet channel 150 to introduce airflow, and the air outlet 1432 is connected to an exhaust channel 140 to discharge airflow. This structural design achieves synergistic optimization of heat management and airflow circulation. The supporting protrusions 1420 provide stable support for the sole of the foot while raising the heating element 200 to its optimal working height, ensuring efficient heat conduction and increasing the heat dissipation area through the protrusion structure. The ventilated grooves 1410 and the ventilated structure 1430 together form a complete airflow path, allowing incoming cold air to flow evenly along the grooves and be heated, ultimately dissipating the hot air or residual heat through the air outlet 1432. The flexible design of the ventilation structure 1430 allows the air inlet 1431 and air outlet 1432 to adopt different forms such as notches or through holes as needed, providing more possibilities for product design. Finally, this three-dimensional hot air circulation can effectively dissipate excess heat, improving warmth retention while avoiding localized overheating, significantly optimizing wearing comfort. It should be noted that although the ventilated insole 1400 and sole 100 are designed as separate units in this embodiment, they can actually be partially or completely integrated together.

[0060] Example 2:

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 15The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the exhaust hose 900 and intake hose 1000 are not provided in this embodiment. This embodiment also includes an elastic isolator 800, which includes a first isolator 810 and a second isolator 820. The exhaust sealing element 510 is configured to indirectly block the exhaust port 130 through the first isolator 810, and the intake sealing element 610 is configured to indirectly block the intake port 120 through the second isolator 820. By providing the elastic isolator 800 including the first isolator 810 and the second isolator 820, a complete indirect sealing system is constructed. The exhaust sealing element 510 indirectly blocks the exhaust port 130 through the first isolator 810, and the intake sealing element 610 indirectly blocks the intake port 120 through the second isolator 820. This elastic sealing structure achieves comprehensive flexible sealing protection. The first isolation element 810 and the second isolation element 820 establish elastic buffer layers between the exhaust sealing element 510 and the exhaust port 130, and between the intake sealing element 610 and the intake port 120, respectively. This dual isolation configuration ensures the consistency of the seals on both the intake and exhaust sides. Through deformation compensation of the elastic material, it effectively eliminates the problem of incomplete sealing caused by machining tolerances and assembly errors, ensuring that both air passages achieve an ideal airtight state when closed. Secondly, the elastic isolation element 800 effectively blocks the direct erosion of the working surface of the sealing element by high-temperature and high-humidity exhaust and intake air that may contain dust and impurities, significantly reducing the risk of wear and corrosion of the element and extending the service life of the core moving parts. In addition, this indirect sealing structure reduces the requirements for the motion control precision of the sealing element, making the system more fault-tolerant and more reliable in operation. At the same time, the elastic isolation element 800, as a vulnerable part, can be replaced separately, greatly simplifying the maintenance process and reducing long-term operating costs. This design, while ensuring sealing performance, also takes into account the durability and economy of the system, providing a reliable guarantee for the long-term stable operation of temperature-controlled shoes under various environmental conditions. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic isolator 800, in conjunction with other structures of the sole 100, forms a flexible, sealed space that accommodates the exhaust valve switch 500, the intake valve switch 600, and the valve control assembly 700. This flexible, sealed space refers to a space defined by the elastic isolator 800, allowing the sealed space to extend within a localized flexible area, thereby sealing the corresponding airflow channel.

[0062] Example 3:

[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 16The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the elastic isolator 800 is not provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the exhaust blocking element 510 is configured to directly block the exhaust port 130, and the intake blocking element 610 is configured to directly block the intake port 120. With the above structure, in use, the exhaust blocking element 510 is configured to directly block the exhaust port 130, and the intake blocking element 610 is configured to directly block the intake port 120. This structural design plays the most direct and efficient role in gas path control. The endpoint of the movement of the blocking element directly acts on the final port of the gas path, forming a precise port-level shut-off. This direct blocking structure eliminates the connecting pipelines that may exist between the control valve and the port in traditional designs, fundamentally eliminating the risk of leakage caused by intermediate links. Secondly, this "end-to-end" control method simplifies the gas path structure, not only reducing the number of parts and lowering production and assembly costs, but also improving the structural strength and reliability of the entire gas path system. Finally, the direct sealing method applied to the ports allows for a faster and more thorough response when the air passage is opened and closed, ensuring that the heating system can switch quickly and leak-free between different operating modes. It should be noted that the exhaust sealing element 510 and / or its corresponding channel area are made of flexible material, and the intake sealing element 610 and / or its corresponding channel area are also made of flexible material, resulting in better sealing when the intake port 120 and the exhaust port 130 are sealed together.

[0064] Example 4:

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 18 The difference between this embodiment and the previous three embodiments is that the air inlet 120 is moved from the sole 100 to the upper 300. Specifically, this embodiment involves creating a blind hole at the original location of the air inlet 120 on the sole 100, connecting an air duct 310 to the upper, and finally creating the air inlet 120 on the upper.
