Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shoe sole technology, specifically to a shock-absorbing support component, a shoe sole, and a shoe. Background Technology

[0002] With socio-economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are paying attention to health and participating more in sports and fitness in their daily lives. During activities such as running, due to inertia, the sole of the shoe experiences downward pressure from the body's weight and a counter-impact force from the ground (generally equivalent to 3 to 5 times the body weight) at the moment of impact. This impact can easily cause damage to the knee and / or ankle joints. Therefore, shoes are footwear designed to protect the legs and feet from injury, and the cushioning function of shoes is extremely important and necessary.

[0003] Many shoes on the market with cushioning features improve the material or structure of the sole. For example, in terms of sole material, they use foamed thermoplastic polyurethane material with good cushioning effect, and in terms of sole structure, they design air cushions, shock-absorbing columns, and other structures. However, regarding improvements to sole materials, different parts of the sole require different cushioning performance, and soles made of the same material cannot meet these needs. As for improvements to sole structure, there are problems such as an overall stiff structure and low comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0033] In addition, the present invention also provides a 30th technical solution: a shoe, which includes an upper and a sole based on any one of technical solutions 24 to 29, wherein the upper is attached to the sole.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Ideal shock absorbers need to dissipate energy under small impacts and provide structural stiffness to ensure support under larger impacts. The mechanical response of conventional homogeneous materials or simple structures is usually linear or monotonic, and it is difficult to optimize flexibility and support for different magnitudes of impact in a uniform structure. For example, structures that rely mainly on the elastic deformation of materials usually have high initial stiffness to obtain end support, thus reducing comfort under low impacts.

[0035] Technical Solution 1 provides a shock-absorbing support component. Through structural shape improvements, this component forms a structure similar to origami, enhancing its shock absorption and rebound performance under impact. Firstly, when subjected to initial pressure, the component's mechanical behavior is primarily determined by the structure formed by the connecting wall and notches within the first groove. The connecting wall is designed as a thin-walled structure prone to geometric deformation in a specific direction, while the notches on both sides provide the necessary deformation space. Therefore, when the initial impact force is applied, energy is dissipated primarily by driving the connecting wall to undergo a preset, controllable buckling deformation, rather than through material compression. The mechanical characteristic of this process is that only a small force is required for large deformation displacements, resulting in low stiffness in the initial stage of compression. This provides the user with an initial shock-absorbing stroke, transforming the instantaneous impact into a smoother process, thereby improving comfort. As external pressure increases, due to the geometric limit of the buckling deformation of the connecting wall, when the deformation reaches this limit, or when different parts of the wall come into contact, or when it contacts adjacent groove walls, its resistance to deformation increases non-linearly. At this point, the mechanical action mode shifts from being dominated by structural buckling to being dominated by material compression and structural locking, resulting in increased component stiffness and entering a high-support mechanical plateau. This stage can resist and support larger impact forces, preventing component failure due to excessive compression and thus ensuring safe use. Conventional thin-walled structures are prone to overall instability or unpredictable torsion under compression. This application solves this problem by correspondingly setting the staggered valleys of the first staggered section and the staggered ridges of the second staggered section. The matching concave and convex structures on both sides of the component guide the entire slot module unit to contract and fold inward along a stable and defined path when the component is under compression, ensuring that the local buckling behavior dominated by the connecting wall occurs in a controllable overall state. This design avoids the possibility of disordered collapse or lateral shear failure of the structure, allowing impact energy to be stably absorbed and converted. Finally, the design of this structural unit enables it to cope with complex loads. The slots in the first slot module, which are arranged intersecting along the first and third directions, give it anisotropic mechanical properties, that is, it exhibits different stiffness and deformation modes to forces in different directions. This design enables the component to withstand not only vertical impacts but also complex loads with shear components during motion. Furthermore, since the component's mechanical properties stem from its geometry rather than the material itself, this allows for functional customization. By parametrically adjusting the geometry of different zone modules—such as zone width and connecting wall thickness—the mechanical response curve of that zone can be controlled. This allows for different combinations of shock absorption and support performance at different locations within the same component, based on biomechanical requirements, achieving zoned functional design that is difficult to achieve with traditional homogeneous materials or simple structures.

[0036] In technical solution two, the connecting ridge, connecting wall, first groove, and notched groove form a collaborative force-bearing system. The connecting wall dissipates energy through buckling deformation under compression, while the connecting ridge forms a reinforced force transmission path at the top of the connecting wall, preventing localized stress concentration. When the damping support component is under pressure, the connecting wall buckles, and the connecting ridge transfers the force borne by the connecting wall to the groove wall of the first groove, making the deformation of the connecting wall more uniform and preventing damage due to excessive localized stress. Simultaneously, the presence of the connecting ridge preserves the low-stiffness damping characteristics of the initial compression stage and improves the durability of the component by enhancing the structural stability of the connecting wall, helping to maintain stable damping effects during long-term use.

[0037] In technical solution three, the top of the connecting wall is flush with the top of the groove, increasing the height of the connecting wall within the first groove and extending its deformation space from the bottom to the top of the groove. Under initial compression, the buckling deformation stroke of the connecting wall is longer, dissipating the initial impact force and improving wearing comfort. Simultaneously, the connecting ridge connects to the top of the groove, rapidly transferring the pressure on the top of the groove to the connecting wall, which then transmits it to other structures, preventing localized indentation deformation in the groove top area due to isolated stress. Furthermore, the flush alignment of the top of the connecting wall with the top of the groove makes the internal structure of the first groove more regular. When the component is subjected to lateral forces, the regular structure resists lateral deformation, and combined with the staggered valleys and ridges, enhances the overall structure's resistance to instability, helping to maintain stable shock-absorbing support performance under complex loads.

[0038] In technical solution four, the diagonal endpoints of the groove end are key stress-bearing nodes at the end of the first groove wall. A connecting ridge connects to this point, allowing the force to be transmitted along the diagonal direction of the first groove. The diagonal direction is where the force is relatively evenly distributed within the groove, preventing uneven force distribution on the groove wall. When the component is under pressure, the force is transmitted along the connecting ridge to the diagonal endpoints of the groove end, then diffuses to the entire groove wall and is transmitted to adjacent structures such as the first intersecting section. This ensures that the force on the individual first groove module is evenly distributed throughout the entire component, preventing damage to local structures due to excessive stress. Simultaneously, the connecting ridge, fixed to the diagonal endpoints of the groove end, limits excessive offset of the connecting wall towards the groove end during deformation, keeping the deformation of the connecting wall within a preset range. This improves the stability of the mechanical response of the first groove module, balancing initial shock absorption with subsequent support reliability.

[0039] In technical solution five, the connecting wall extends upwards from the bottom of the trench, with its base fixed to the foundation bearing area of ​​the first trench, providing support and preventing swaying or tilting due to the lack of a fixed base. When the component is under pressure, the pressure borne by the connecting wall can be transferred to the bottom of the trench first, and then from the bottom to other parts of the component, improving the stability of force transmission. Simultaneously, the upward extension height of the connecting wall determines the depth of the notch; a reasonable extension height allows the notch to retain sufficient deformation space, ensuring that the connecting wall buckles under initial pressure to dissipate energy. Furthermore, the upward extension of the connecting wall from the bottom of the trench, together with the trench wall of the first trench, forms a structure surrounding the notch, which can jointly resist lateral forces, preventing the notch from being deformed by lateral compression and affecting the damping effect. Combined with staggered valleys and ridges, this enhances the structural stability of the component under vertical and lateral forces.

[0040] In technical solution six, the quadrilateral projection increases and regularizes the contact area between the bottom of the connecting wall and the groove wall. The four vertices coinciding with the groove wall connect the bottom of the connecting wall to the groove wall via these four vertices, resulting in more balanced force transmission and preventing stress concentration at the connection point, thus reducing the risk of damage to the connection area. Simultaneously, the quadrilateral, as a stable geometric shape, enhances the structural stability of the connecting wall itself, preventing twisting deformation under stress. Its four sides form a mutually supporting structure, limiting the horizontal displacement of the connecting wall. Furthermore, the four vertices coinciding with the bottom of the connecting wall ensure the consistency of the position of each connecting wall within the first groove, resulting in uniform stress distribution across the component composed of multiple first groove modules. Combined with the extension method of the connecting wall, this makes the support of the connecting wall more stable and the deformation process controllable.

[0041] In technical solution seven, the four endpoints of the slot end are key end nodes of the first slot wall. The bottom apex of the connecting wall connects to this point, forming a more efficient force transmission path: when the component is under pressure, the force borne by the connecting wall is directly transmitted to the slot end through its bottom apex, and then from the slot end to adjacent structures (such as other first slots or intersections), avoiding force accumulation between the connecting wall and the slot wall. Simultaneously, the bottom apex of the connecting wall corresponds one-to-one with the slot end endpoints, making the positioning of the connecting wall within the first slot more precise, ensuring consistent spacing and position of each connecting wall, uniform shape and size of the notches within the first slot, and guaranteeing that each notch provides the same deformation space, thus resulting in uniform deformation of the first slot module and stable vibration damping. Furthermore, the slot end endpoints are rigid parts of the slot wall; this connection method improves the fatigue resistance of the connection points, preventing the connecting wall from detaching from the slot wall after long-term use, and enhancing the overall performance of the component.

[0042] In technical solution eight, when the angle between the extension directions of the two first grooves is acute, the material at their junction is relatively thin and prone to fracture under stress. Connecting one end of the connecting ridge at this point enhances the structural strength of the junction and connects the connecting walls of the two grooves at the junction through the connecting ridge, forming a localized stress-bearing closed loop. When the component is under pressure, the connecting walls of both grooves will buckle. The connection at the junction of the connecting ridge ensures that the deformation of the two connecting walls is coordinated, avoiding localized stress concentration caused by one groove deforming too much while the other deforms too little. Simultaneously, this connection method creates a more compact stress-bearing system for the four first grooves around the groove axis, allowing the force of the four grooves to be transferred between them. This ensures that the first groove module experiences uniform stress around the groove axis, preventing localized depressions near the groove axis due to uneven stress. Combined with the connecting ridge, this optimizes the stress transmission of the first groove module.

[0043] In technical solution nine, the connecting ridge extends along the fourth direction, enabling the first groove extending along the third direction to resist force in the fourth direction. When the component is subjected to lateral force in the fourth direction, the connecting ridge extending along this direction can directly resist deformation in that direction, supplementing the mechanical properties of the first groove in the fourth direction, thus providing support and deformation control in both the third and fourth vertical directions. Simultaneously, this design gives the first groove module reasonable mechanical properties in all three spatial dimensions (first, third, and fourth directions). Combined with staggered valleys and ridges, it can cope with complex three-dimensional loads such as combinations of vertical impacts and lateral shear forces commonly encountered in motion. Furthermore, the connecting ridge extending along the fourth direction can form a cross-force network with the connecting ridge of the first groove extending along the first direction, creating a three-dimensional support structure within the first groove module, improving the overall stiffness and anti-instability capability of the module.

[0044] In technical solution ten, the interlaced valley is a recessed structure of the first interlaced part, and the two first grooves extending along the first direction are components of the first groove module. The diagonal endpoints of their groove bottoms are key stress points on the groove bottoms. The interlaced valley connects these endpoints, forming a stable structural connection between the interlaced valley and the two first grooves. When the component is under pressure, the interlaced valley guides the first interlaced part to contract inward. The contraction force can be transmitted through the interlaced valley to the bottom of the two first grooves, and then from the groove bottom to the connecting wall and other structures, making the contraction process more uniform and preventing the structure from becoming unstable due to excessively rapid local contraction of the interlaced valley. At the same time, the diagonal endpoints of the groove bottoms are positions where the stress on the groove bottom is relatively balanced. The connection of the interlaced valley at this point can transmit the force it bears to the groove bottom, avoiding stress concentration at the connection point. In addition, this connection method ensures that the extension direction of the interlaced valley matches the shape of the bottom of the two first grooves, making the structure of the first interlaced part more regular. During deformation, it proceeds along a preset path, and in conjunction with the interlaced ridge, the deformation of the first and second sides is coordinated.

[0045] In technical solution eleven, the consistent extension direction ensures that the force transmission directions of both components are aligned, forming a synergistic force-bearing system. When a component is under pressure, the force transmitted by the connecting ridge and the contraction force guided by the intersecting valleys act in the same direction, preventing internal force cancellation or stress concentration due to different directions. For example, when the force is transmitted along this extension direction, the connecting ridge can transfer the force to the groove wall, while the intersecting valleys simultaneously guide the structure to contract in this direction, making the deformation of the first groove module smoother and the energy dissipation efficiency higher. Simultaneously, this directional consistency makes the internal structure of the first groove module more coordinated. The connecting wall, connecting ridge, and intersecting valleys form a unified force and deformation direction, making the module's mechanical response more stable and preventing deformation disorder caused by different directions in the various structures. Furthermore, in conjunction with the intersecting ridges, the deformation of the first and second sides can be synchronized, improving structural stability and resistance to instability.

[0046] In technical solution twelve, the first staggered sidewalls extend from the staggered valley to the top of the trough, forming a complete first staggered section together with the staggered valley. The two opposing sidewalls provide symmetrical stress surfaces during contraction, ensuring even distribution of contraction force and preventing damage from excessive stress on one side wall. The top of the sidewalls connects to the diagonal endpoints of the trough top, forming a complete force transmission path from the staggered valley to the trough top. When the component is under pressure, the contraction force of the first staggered section is transmitted to the top of the trough through the sidewalls, preventing force accumulation within the staggered valley. Simultaneously, the first staggered sidewalls, located on both sides of the staggered valley in the projection plane, form a symmetrical support structure that resists lateral forces perpendicular to the second direction plane, preventing displacement of the first staggered section. Combined with the staggered ridges of technical solution one, the deformation of the first and second staggered sections can be synchronized, preventing overall structural instability, and the sidewall structure enhances the strength of the first staggered section, ensuring stable shock absorption.

[0047] In technical solution thirteen, the groove width affects the groove's deformation capacity and stiffness. Having the same groove width in the same direction means they possess the same mechanical properties, resulting in identical buckling deformation and force transmission under pressure. This ensures uniform stress distribution across the grooves in the same direction within the first groove module, preventing some grooves from deforming excessively while others deform too little due to varying groove widths, thus affecting the overall damping effect. Simultaneously, maintaining the same groove width along the first and third directions allows the first groove module to achieve a stable and predictable mechanical response in these two directions, facilitating the design of component support and damping performance in different directions according to requirements. Furthermore, the uniform groove width in the same direction makes the first groove module structure more regular, facilitating standardization and reducing errors during manufacturing. This regular structure promotes uniform force transmission within the module, and combined with staggered valleys and ridges, ensures more balanced stress distribution on the components, preventing premature damage to localized structures and extending service life.

[0048] In technical solution fourteen, the first wall defines the extension direction of the second groove, ensuring it provides deformation space in the preset direction; the second wall can withstand forces perpendicular to the extension direction. This double-wall structure allows the second groove wall to cope with forces in multiple directions, improving its resistance to deformation. The two first intersection lines formed by the second wall intersect on the projection plane, forming a converging structure. This structure concentrates the forces borne by the second wall along the intersection lines to the vicinity of the intersection point, and then transmits them to the groove bottom and other structures, making force transmission more concentrated and efficient, avoiding uneven stress distribution. Simultaneously, this design allows the second groove wall to form controllable folds or buckling modes during deformation. Under initial pressure, it can dissipate energy; as pressure increases, the intersecting first intersection lines allow the groove wall to form a supporting structure more quickly, thereby increasing stiffness. Combined with the second staggered section and staggered ridge, the second side of the component also possesses stable shock-absorbing support performance, ensuring balanced mechanical properties on both sides and preventing overall structural imbalance.

[0049] In Technical Solution Fifteen, the first intersection line extends from the top to the bottom of the tank, forming a force transmission line that runs through the entire height of the tank wall. When the component is under pressure, the force can be directly transmitted from the top to the bottom of the tank along the first intersection line. The transmission path is short and direct, avoiding energy loss or stress concentration caused by the force being transmitted circuitously inside the tank wall. At the same time, the first intersection line running through the top and bottom of the tank makes the connection between the second wall and the first wall and the bottom of the tank more solid, reducing the risk of the second wall separating from other structures during deformation and improving the structural stability of the tank wall. In addition, the through-type first intersection line ensures that the mechanical properties of the second tank wall are consistent throughout the entire height direction, and the deformation is evenly distributed across the entire height of the tank wall, avoiding damage caused by excessive local deformation. Combined with the double-wall structure of Technical Solution Fourteen, it can ensure that the second tank works stably in the initial shock absorption and later support stages, and makes the mechanical properties of the component more uniform in the second direction (thickness direction), improving the overall performance.

[0050] In technical solution sixteen, the diagonal endpoints of the top and bottom of the tank are the diagonal positions of the tank wall. The first intersection line connects these points, forming a force transmission line along the diagonal direction of the tank wall. The diagonal direction is a direction where the force on the tank wall is more evenly distributed, allowing for more uniform force transmission and preventing force concentration at the edges or center. When the component is under pressure, the force on the top of the tank is transmitted to the diagonal endpoint of the bottom of the tank through the first intersection line. Since the diagonal line covers the entire diagonal area of ​​the tank wall, the force can diffuse to the entire bottom of the tank and then be transmitted to other structures. At the same time, the first intersection line connecting the diagonal endpoints enables the second wall surface to form diagonal support within the tank wall, enhancing the torsional resistance of the tank wall. When the component is subjected to torsional force, it can resist torsional deformation, preventing torsional damage to the tank wall.

[0051] In technical solution seventeen, the second intersection line is the intersection line between the second wall surface and the bottom of the tank. The coincidence of the second intersection lines of the two second walls means that they converge on the same line at the bottom of the tank, forming a converging structure. When the component is under pressure, the force borne by the two second walls is transmitted along their respective walls to the coincident second intersection line, and then from this intersection line to other parts of the tank bottom. This concentrates the force transmission between the two second walls, avoiding the reduced transmission efficiency caused by force dispersion at the bottom of the tank. Simultaneously, the coincident second intersection line coordinates the deformation of the two second walls. Because both are connected to the same intersection line, the deformation occurs synchronously around this intersection line, preventing instability of the tank wall structure caused by one side deforming too quickly and the other too slowly. Furthermore, this design simplifies the internal structure of the second tank, making the force-bearing system of the two second walls more unified, reducing mutual interference between structures, and also facilitating manufacturing and reducing processing difficulty.

[0052] In technical solution eighteen, the second intersection line connects the diagonal endpoints at the bottom of the tank, forming a concentrated force line along the diagonal direction of the tank bottom. After the forces from the two second walls are transmitted to the second intersection line, they can be transmitted diagonally to the diagonal endpoints of the tank bottom, and then diffuse to the entire tank bottom and adjacent structures. The diagonal endpoints of the tank bottom are critical force-bearing nodes; connecting them here allows the forces from the second intersection line to be quickly transmitted to key parts of the tank bottom, preventing force accumulation in the middle of the tank bottom. Simultaneously, the second intersection line connecting the diagonal endpoints of the tank bottom along the diagonal makes the force on the tank bottom more even. Because the diagonal covers the entire diagonal area of ​​the tank bottom, the force can be evenly distributed on the tank bottom, avoiding damage caused by excessive localized force. Furthermore, this connection method creates a stable structure between the second intersection line and the tank bottom. The two ends of the second intersection line are fixed to the diagonal endpoints of the tank bottom, limiting its displacement under stress and ensuring that the deformation of the two second walls revolves around the second intersection line, making the deformation process controllable.

[0053] In technical solution nineteen, the staggered ridge is a protruding structure of the second staggered part, and the two second grooves extending along the first direction are components of the second groove module, with their diagonal ends being key stress points at the groove tops. The staggered ridge connects these ends, forming a stable structural connection between the staggered ridge and the two second grooves. When the component is under pressure, the second staggered part deforms, and the deformation force can be transmitted through the staggered ridge to the tops of the two second grooves, and then from the groove tops to the groove walls and other structures, making the deformation process more uniform and preventing structural instability caused by excessively rapid local deformation of the staggered ridge. At the same time, the diagonal ends of the groove tops are positions where the stress on the groove tops is relatively balanced, and the staggered ridge connecting to these points can transmit the force to the groove tops, avoiding stress concentration at the connection points. Furthermore, this connection method ensures that the extension direction of the staggered ridge matches the shape of the tops of the two second grooves, making the structure of the second staggered part more regular, and the deformation proceeds along a preset path, coordinating the deformation of the second and first sides and preventing disordered twisting of the structure.

[0054] In technical solution twenty, the consistent extension direction ensures that the force transmission and deformation guidance directions of both components are aligned, forming a synergistic force-bearing system. When the component is under pressure, the force transmitted from the bottom of the groove by the second intersection line and the deformation force guided by the staggered ridges of the second staggered section act in the same direction, avoiding internal force cancellation or stress concentration due to different directions. For example, when the force is transmitted along this extension direction, the second intersection line can transmit the force from the bottom of the groove to the groove wall, while the staggered ridges simultaneously guide the second staggered section to deform in this direction, making the deformation of the second groove module in this direction smoother and the energy dissipation efficiency higher. At the same time, this directional consistency makes the internal structure of the second groove module more coordinated. The second groove wall, the second intersection line, and the staggered ridges form a unified force and deformation direction, making the mechanical response of the module more stable and avoiding deformation disorder caused by different directions of the various structures.

[0055] In technical solution 21, the second staggered sidewall extends from the staggered ridge to the bottom of the groove, forming a complete second staggered section together with the staggered ridge. The two opposing sidewalls provide symmetrical stress surfaces during deformation, ensuring even distribution of deformation force and preventing damage from excessive stress on one side wall. The bottom ends of the sidewalls connect to the diagonal endpoints of the groove bottom, forming a complete force transmission path from the staggered ridge to the groove bottom. When the component is under pressure, the deformation force of the second staggered section is transmitted to the groove bottom through the sidewalls, preventing force accumulation within the staggered ridge. Simultaneously, the second staggered sidewalls are located on both sides of the staggered ridge in the projection plane, forming a symmetrical support structure that resists lateral forces perpendicular to the second direction plane, preventing displacement of the second staggered section. Combined with the staggered valley in technical solution 1, the deformation of the first and second staggered sections can be synchronized, preventing overall structural instability, and the sidewall structure enhances the strength of the second staggered section, ensuring stable shock absorption.

[0056] In technical solution twenty-two, the identical projected shape and size mean that the first and second grooves have identical structures in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the component (the second direction), ensuring symmetrical mechanical properties of the component in the thickness direction. When the component is under pressure, the first and second grooves deform symmetrically, avoiding asymmetrical deformation due to differences in the structures on both sides, and preventing the component from twisting or tilting. Simultaneously, the symmetrical structure allows for uniform force transmission in the thickness direction; the force borne by the first groove can be transmitted to the second groove, and then from the second groove to the outside, avoiding localized stress concentration caused by uneven force distribution in the thickness direction. Furthermore, this consistency facilitates manufacturing; the first and second grooves can be produced using symmetrical molds or processing techniques, reducing production difficulty and errors, and the regular structure facilitates subsequent assembly with other structures of the shoe sole.

[0057] In technical solution twenty-three, the parallel walls ensure that the notch in the first groove and the corresponding groove wall of the second groove form a coordinated force transmission direction when subjected to force. When the component is compressed, the force borne by the third wall is transmitted along its extension direction, and the second wall follows the same direction, allowing it to simultaneously bear the force in the same direction, avoiding interference in force transmission caused by different wall directions. Simultaneously, the parallel walls ensure that the first and second grooves maintain the same deformation trend during deformation; the notch deforms along the direction of the third wall, and the corresponding groove wall of the second groove deforms along the direction of the second wall. This consistency in deformation direction makes the deformation of the component at that location more uniform, avoiding local deformation conflicts. Furthermore, this parallel design makes the structures of the first and second grooves complement each other, forming a unified force-bearing system. The third and second walls jointly resist forces in a specific direction, enhancing the support capacity in that direction, while also making energy transfer between the first and second grooves smoother, improving energy dissipation efficiency.

[0058] Technical solution twenty-four provides a shoe sole that at least partially employs the cushioning support component described in any of the preceding claims. The cushioning support component itself possesses cushioning and support properties. When applied to the shoe sole, it dissipates the impact force experienced by the wearer during exercise, reducing damage to the knee and ankle joints. Simultaneously, the cushioning support component can be configured according to the needs of different areas of the shoe sole. For example, it can be used in the heel or arch areas where pressure is high to specifically enhance the support performance in these areas. Other areas can use conventional structures, achieving a zoned functional design of the shoe sole. This ensures the performance of key components while controlling the overall weight and cost of the shoe sole. Furthermore, the structural design of the cushioning support component makes it durable, extending its service life and preventing conventional shoe soles from rapidly losing their cushioning performance due to prolonged pressure. Combined with other structures such as the anti-slip layer of the shoe sole, it can collectively improve the overall performance of the shoe.

[0059] In technical solution 25, the inner and outer sides of the sole are areas of high stress and prone to lateral deformation during exercise. The cushioning support component is positioned here to specifically resist lateral forces and prevent inward or outward pronation of the sole. The first side faces the outer side of the sole, achieving cushioning and rebound through the deformation of the first groove module; the second side faces the inner side, allowing the second groove module to cooperate with the first groove module to improve the cushioning and rebound effect. When the wearer exercises, the lateral forces on the inner or outer side are absorbed by the first and second groove structures of the cushioning support component. The first and second groove modules deform collaboratively, dissipating lateral forces and preventing excessive deformation of the sole. Furthermore, this positioning does not affect the flexibility of the main pressure-bearing areas of the sole, such as the forefoot or heel, balancing the flexibility and support of the sole.

[0060] In technical solution 26, two cushioning support components are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the foot, providing lateral support to both sides of the sole simultaneously, preventing sole misalignment due to insufficient support on one side. When the wearer exercises, the tendency for inward or outward pronation is resisted by the corresponding side components. The first side faces away from each other along the width direction, providing cushioning and rebound performance to the outer and inner sides respectively; the second side faces each other, forming a relative support structure inside the sole. When the sole is subjected to vertical pressure, the second sides of the two components work together to transfer the pressure downward, jointly providing vertical cushioning support. Furthermore, the opposing second sides of the two components form a stable force-bearing system along the width direction of the sole, preventing excessive localized stress and ensuring uniform mechanical properties of the sole in the width direction, thus improving the cushioning support performance of the sole in both lateral and vertical directions.

[0061] In technical solution 27, the formation of the third groove provides additional deformation space for the two cushioning support components. When the sole is subjected to compression or lateral force, the second sides of the two components remain exposed on the outside, thus ensuring that the cushioning components can exert their flexural deformation capacity to dissipate energy through the deformation of the second groove module. In addition, the presence of the third groove reduces the overall weight of the sole, as no other material needs to be filled between the two components, reducing the weight of the sole while ensuring support performance.

[0062] In technical solution 28, the length direction of the sole is the forefoot-to-back direction of the shoe, which is also the main direction of force transmission during wearer movement. The alignment of the first direction with the length direction means that the first and second groove modules are arranged along the forefoot-to-back direction, better handling forefoot-to-back forces. When the wearer runs, from the forefoot landing to the heel push-off, the force is transmitted along the forefoot-to-back direction. The cushioning support components deform along the grooves in the length direction in the direction of force transmission, more efficiently dissipating the impact force in the forefoot-to-back direction and preventing force accumulation in the forefoot-to-back direction of the sole. Simultaneously, the groove modules arranged along the length direction allow for zoned design; for example, the groove modules in the forefoot can be designed to be softer to improve flexibility, while those in the heel can be designed to be more rigid to improve support, meeting the needs of different length positions on the sole. Furthermore, the alignment of the first direction with the length direction allows for better matching of the cushioning support components with the shape of the sole, facilitating installation and ensuring that the force transmission direction of the components aligns with the main force direction of the sole, improving force transmission efficiency.

[0063] In technical solution 29, the groove width affects the stiffness and deformation capacity of the groove. A smaller groove width results in lower stiffness, easier deformation, and better flexibility and initial cushioning; a larger groove width results in higher stiffness and stronger support. The forefoot is the primary area of ​​force and flexion during movement, requiring high flexibility. A smaller groove width allows for easier deformation of components in the forefoot to adapt to foot flexion movements while providing initial cushioning. The arch is the support area of ​​the foot, requiring strong support to maintain foot shape. A larger groove width increases the stiffness of components in the arch area to reduce arch pressure. The heel is the first part to strike the ground and bears the greatest impact; a larger groove width gives the components in the heel higher stiffness to resist greater impact forces. This zoned groove width design allows the cushioning support components to achieve differentiated mechanical properties along the length of the sole, meeting the different biomechanical needs of the forefoot, arch, and heel.

[0064] Technical solution 30 provides a shoe comprising an upper and a sole as described in any of the preceding claims, wherein the upper is attached to the sole. The sole has cushioning and support properties, and after the upper is attached, it can transmit the cushioning effect of the sole to the foot. At the same time, the upper wraps around the foot and works with the sole to fix the foot's position, preventing the foot from sliding inside the shoe during exercise and improving wearing stability.

[0073] Example This invention relates to a shoe, the structure of which is as follows: Figures 6 to 11 The shoe includes a sole 600 and an upper attached to the sole 600. The sole 600 at least partially employs a cushioning support component according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the midsole of the sole 600 is mainly formed by the cooperation of two of the cushioning support components.

[0074] The structure of the shock-absorbing support component involved in this embodiment will be described first below.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The shock-absorbing support component includes a body 100: the body 100 extends along a first direction and has a first side 101 and a second side 102 facing away from each other along a second direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction; at least one first groove module 200 is arranged along the first direction on the first side 101; the first groove module 200 includes four first grooves 210 arranged circumferentially around a groove axis, the groove axis being parallel to the second direction; a connecting wall 220 connecting the two groove walls diagonally is provided in the first groove 210, and two notches 221 are formed by the connecting wall 220; in the first groove module 200, two first grooves 210 extend along the first direction, and the other two first grooves 210 extend along a third direction; the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction and perpendicular to the first direction. The second side 102 is arranged with at least one second groove module 300 along the first direction; the second groove module 300 includes four second grooves 310 arranged circumferentially around the groove axis and whose positions correspond one-to-one with each of the first grooves 210; the first groove module 200 is surrounded by the ends of each of the first grooves 210 at the position of the groove axis to form a first interlacing portion 400, and the second groove module 300 is surrounded by the ends of each of the second grooves 310 at the position of the groove axis to form a second interlacing portion 500; the first interlacing portion 400 is recessed towards the second side 102 along the first direction to form an interlacing valley 410, and the second interlacing portion 500 is formed with an interlacing ridge 510 protruding along the second direction relative to the bottom of each of the second grooves 310 at the position of the interlacing valley 410.

[0076] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the definitions of each direction in this invention. Specifically, the left-right direction is the first direction, the front-back direction is the second direction, the up-down direction is the fourth direction, and the third direction is the third direction.

[0077] Specifically, the cushioning support component includes a body 100 that extends along a first direction to form a strip shape. Furthermore, the body 100 has a first side 101 and a second side 102 that are opposite to each other along a second direction. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the body 100 perpendicular to the first direction is approximately rectangular, and its first side 101 and second side 102 are approximately parallel. Of course, in specific applications, such as applying the cushioning support component to a shoe sole 600, the cross-sectional shape of the body 100 may be irregular, but the first side 101 and second side 102 will still be opposite to each other along the first direction. The length of the main body 100 can be set according to the length of the corresponding part of the sole 600. For example, when the length from the heel to the forefoot of the sole 600 is 250-300mm, the width is 20-40mm, and the thickness is 5-12mm. Of course, in specific applications, such as when the cushioning support component is applied to the sole 600, if it corresponds to the arch of the sole 600, the cross-section of the main body 100 can be set as an arc-shaped irregular shape with an arc protrusion height of 3-5mm to fit the arch curve.

[0078] A plurality of first groove modules 200 arranged along a first direction are recessed on the first side surface 101, and each first groove module 200 includes four first grooves 210. These four first grooves 210 are arranged circumferentially around a preset groove axis. Here, the groove axis passes through the body 100 along a second direction and is located approximately at the middle position in the vertical direction of the body 100. The circumferential arrangement means that these four first grooves 210 are arranged on the first side surface 101 in a rotationally symmetrical manner with the groove axis as the axis. Furthermore, these four first grooves 210 are not unevenly stacked at a certain position in the circumferential direction, but rather include two arrangement directions. The extension direction of two of the first grooves 210 is the first direction, which is consistent with the extension direction of the body 100. The extension direction of the other two first grooves 210 is a third direction, which can be perpendicular to both the first and second directions, meaning it intersects the two first grooves 210 extending in the first direction at a right angle; or, the third direction can be perpendicular to the second direction but intersects the first direction at an angle, in which case the two first grooves 210 intersect the two first grooves 210 extending in the first direction at an angle. In this embodiment, the third direction intersects the first direction at an angle, and the angles between the connecting edges at the groove ends of the two first grooves 210 extending along the third direction and the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction, and their respective groove walls, are two acute angles and two obtuse angles. Furthermore, for the first groove 210 extending along the first direction, these first grooves 210 will be connected to each other between two adjacent first groove modules 200 in the first direction to form a longer groove-shaped structure in the first direction. The length of the continuous groove can be set according to the length of the body 100. For example, when the length of the body 100 is 250mm, the length of the continuous groove is set to 240mm, with a 5mm margin reserved at both ends of the body 100 edge.

[0079] Each first groove 210 is provided with a connecting wall 220, which connects the two side walls of the first groove 210 diagonally. Here, "connecting diagonally" means that relative to the extension direction defined by the two side walls of the first groove 210, the connecting wall 220 is arranged in a way that is roughly staggered with the extension direction of the first groove 210. Due to this arrangement of the connecting wall 220, the connecting wall 220 forms a recessed notch 221 with the corresponding groove wall in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the first groove 210. There are two notches 221 in one first groove 210 that are set diagonally. Specifically, the connecting wall 220 can be made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) with a thickness of 1-3mm to ensure sufficient buckling deformation capacity without breaking easily. The depth of the notch 221 is consistent with the depth of the first groove 210 (3-8mm), that is, it extends from the top of the connecting wall 220 to the bottom of the first groove 210. The width of the notch 221 is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the width of the first groove 210. For example, if the width of the first groove 210 is 6mm, the width of the notch 221 is set to 2-3mm to ensure that there is sufficient space when the connecting wall 220 deforms, while avoiding insufficient support of the connecting wall 220 due to the notch 221 being too wide. The thickness can also be adjusted according to actual cushioning needs: in the heel area of ​​the sole 600, the thickness of the connecting wall 220 is set to 2.5-3mm, and the width of the notch 221 is reduced to 1 / 3 of the width of the first notch 210; in the forefoot area of ​​the sole 600, the thickness of the connecting wall 220 is set to 1-1.5mm, and the width of the notch 221 is increased to 1 / 2 of the width of the first notch 210. Of course, the entire body 100 can be made of the same material, such as thermoplastic polyurethane or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

[0080] A plurality of second groove modules 300 arranged along a first direction are recessed on a second side 102 opposite to the first side 101. Each second groove module 300 includes four second grooves 310, which are also arranged circumferentially around a preset groove axis. The positions of these four second grooves 310 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the four first grooves 210 in one of the first groove modules 200 on the first side 101. That is, one first groove module 200 will form a positional correspondence with one second groove module 300 in the second direction, and the four first grooves 210 and four second grooves 310 of the two will also form a one-to-one correspondence. Thus, the four second grooves 310 also include two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction and two second grooves 310 extending along a third direction. At the same time, for the second grooves 310 extending along the first direction, these second grooves 310 will be interconnected between two adjacent second groove modules 300 in the first direction to form a longer groove structure in the first direction. The second groove 310 is configured as an inwardly recessed groove structure to provide sufficient deformation space when the shock-absorbing support component is compressed.

[0081] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A first interlacing portion 400 is provided at the groove axis position of the first groove module 200. The first interlacing portion 400 is formed by the groove ends of four first grooves 210 approaching each other, and is recessed inward along the second direction to form an interlacing valley 410 at the bottom position. The interlacing valley 410 refers to a valley-like structure located between two opposing surfaces. Simultaneously, a second interlacing portion 500 is provided at the groove axis position of the second groove module 300. The second interlacing portion 500 is formed by the groove ends of four second grooves 310 approaching each other, and is protruding outward along the second direction to form an interlacing ridge 510 at the top position. The interlacing ridge 510 refers to a ridge-like structure located between two opposing surfaces. Furthermore, for the corresponding first groove module 200 and second groove module 300, the positions of the interlacing valley 410 and the interlacing ridge 510 correspond in the second direction.

[0082] The structure of the first groove module 200 in the shock-absorbing support component will be further described below.

[0083] Reference Figure 1The top of the connecting wall 220 disposed in the first groove 210 forms a connecting ridge 222, and the two ends of the connecting ridge 222 are diagonally connected to the two side walls of the first groove 210. Specifically, the connecting wall 220 is a tapered structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, and the connecting ridge 222 is a linear protrusion at the top of the connecting wall 220, the direction of which is consistent with the main body direction of the connecting wall 220. The two ends of the connecting ridge 222 are respectively fixed to the inner surfaces of the two side walls of the first groove 210. These two fixing points are diagonally distributed on the cross-section of the first groove 210. The two walls of the connecting wall 220 are also inclined and intersect the corresponding walls of the first groove 210 at an inclination, so that the connecting ridge 222 and the two side walls together form a stable triangular support frame. This frame can effectively transmit the tension or pressure between the groove walls and prevent the connecting wall 220 from twisting under stress.

[0084] The connecting wall 220 extends to the top, flush with the top of the first groove 210, and the two ends of the connecting ridge 222 are connected to the top of the first groove 210. The connecting wall 220 extends upward from the bottom of the groove, with its top surface at the same level as the top surface of the first groove 210. The two ends of the connecting ridge 222 are not connected to any arbitrary position on the groove wall, but precisely connected to the edge of the groove top, making the connecting ridge 222 part of the groove top structure. This design allows the load on the groove top area to be directly transferred to the connecting wall 220 through the connecting ridge 222 when under pressure, avoiding localized indentation caused by the groove top being subjected to force alone.

[0085] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting ridge 222 are connected to the two diagonally opposite endpoints of the first groove 210. Specifically, the groove ends of the first groove 210 refer to the two end boundaries of the first groove 210 in the extending direction. One endpoint of the connecting ridge 222 is connected to the upper left (or lower right) corner of one groove end, and the other endpoint is connected to the lower right (or upper left) corner of the other groove end. These two endpoints form the body diagonal of the first groove 210 in three-dimensional space.

[0086] The connecting wall 220 extends upward from the bottom of the first groove 210. Specifically, the bottom of the connecting wall 220 is integrally formed with the bottom of the first groove 210, and its root is completely fixed to the bottom plane of the groove. The height of the connecting wall 220 can be adjusted according to design requirements, typically ranging from 70% to 100% of the depth of the first groove 210.

[0087] The bottom of the connecting wall 220 is quadrilateral in shape on the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction, and its four vertices coincide with the two side walls of the first groove 210. Specifically, when viewed from the second direction (i.e., the thickness direction of the body 100), the bottom outline of the connecting wall 220 is a quadrilateral. The four sides of this quadrilateral connect with the inner surfaces of the two side walls and two end walls of the first groove 210, and the four corner points fall exactly on the intersection lines of the two side walls and the groove ends, thereby achieving a complete fit between the bottom of the connecting wall 220 and the inner wall of the groove cavity.

[0088] The four vertices at the bottom of the connecting wall 220 are connected one-to-one to the four endpoints of the two ends of the first groove 210. Specifically, the four corner points of the quadrilateral at the bottom of the connecting wall 220 are directly connected to the four corner points of the two ends of the first groove 210 (i.e., the four intersection points of the groove ends and the two side walls of the groove).

[0089] In two first grooves 210 that are circumferentially adjacent around the groove axis and whose extending directions form an acute angle, one end of the connecting ridge 222 formed by the connecting wall 220 of each first groove 210 is connected to the junction of the two first grooves 210. Specifically, when four first grooves 210 are arranged around the groove axis, two adjacent grooves of the four first grooves 210 will meet at their ends to form an angle, and these four angles include two acute angles and two obtuse angles. Among them, the two adjacent grooves forming the acute angle region (one along the first direction and one along the third direction) are... Figure 1 As shown, in the acute-angled regions located at the upper left and lower right corners, each groove's connecting ridge 222 extends and secures one end of its groove near this acute-angled region to the solid material at this junction. In this way, the two connecting ridges 222 converge at the junction, jointly reinforcing this structurally weak area and preventing it from cracking under pressure.

[0090] The connecting ridge 222 of the connecting wall 220 in the first groove 210 extending along a third direction extends along a fourth direction; the fourth direction is perpendicular to the first and second directions. Specifically, for the first groove 210 extending along a third direction, the connecting ridge 222 inside it is not arranged along the third direction, but along a fourth direction (i.e., the vertical direction) that is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. This means that the connecting ridge 222 is a vertical reinforcing rib, and its main function is to resist lateral loads from the fourth direction and enhance the stability of the first groove 210 in the height direction.

[0091] The two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction have the same groove width, and the two first grooves 210 extending along the third direction have the same groove width. Specifically, within the same first groove module 200, the groove opening widths of two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction are designed to be completely equal; similarly, the groove opening widths of two first grooves 210 extending along the third direction are also designed to be completely equal. The specific value of the groove width can be selected according to the required stiffness, for example, it can be between 2 mm and 8 mm, but the groove width in the same direction must be consistent to ensure uniform deformation.

[0092] The structure of the first interlacing portion 400 in the shock-absorbing support component will be further described below.

[0093] The two ends of the intersecting valley 410 are connected to the two diagonally opposite ends of the bottom of the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction. Specifically, the intersecting valley 410 is a recessed groove, and its two ends are respectively fixed to the bottom of the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction. These two fixing points are not arbitrarily chosen, but are each located at a diagonal corner of the bottom of their respective grooves. For example, one end is connected to the lower right corner of the bottom of the left first groove 210, and the other end is connected to the upper left corner of the bottom of the right first groove 210.

[0094] The extension direction of the intersecting valley 410 is similar to the extension direction of the connecting ridge 222 of the connecting wall 220 in the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction. Here, "same extension direction" means that, relative to a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction, both the extension direction of the intersecting valley 410 and the extension direction of the connecting ridge 222 are inclined to the same side. For example... Figure 1 The extension direction of the central cross valley 410 is from the lower left corner to the upper right corner, and the extension direction of the connecting ridge 222 in the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction is also from the lower left corner to the lower right corner of the first groove 210.

[0095] The first interlacing portion 400 extends from the interlacing valley 410 along the second direction toward the top of each of the first grooves 210, forming two opposing first interlacing sidewalls 420. The top ends of the first interlacing sidewalls 420 are connected to the two diagonally opposite ends of the tops of the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction and are located on both sides of the interlacing valley 410 on a projection plane perpendicular to the second direction. The first interlacing portion 400 is a U-shaped or V-shaped recessed structure formed by the interlacing valley 410 and the two sidewalls. The two first interlacing sidewalls 420 extend upward (along the second direction) from the two side edges of the interlacing valley 410, and their top ends are respectively fixed to the diagonally opposite ends of the tops of the two first grooves 210 extending along the first direction. On the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction, these two sidewalls are located on the left and right sides of the interlacing valley 410, forming a symmetrical support structure that guides and constrains the overall deformation of the first interlacing portion 400.

[0096] The structure of the second slot module 300 is described below.

[0097] Reference Figure 2 Each side wall of the second groove 310 includes a first wall surface 311 and a second wall surface 312. Both first wall surfaces 311 extend from the top edge of the second groove 310 towards the bottom, and together define the extension direction of the second groove 310. The second wall surface 312 intersects with the first wall surface 311 on the same side and with the bottom of the second groove 310 to form a first intersection line 313 and a second intersection line 314. The two first intersection lines 313 of the second groove 310 intersect on a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction. Each side wall of the second groove 310 is a folded surface composed of two planes (first wall surface 311 and second wall surface 312). The two first wall surfaces 311 are arranged opposite each other, and their orientation defines the extension direction (first direction or third direction) of the second groove 310. Each second wall surface 312 intersects with the first wall surface 311 on the same side to form a first intersection line 313, and intersects with the bottom of the groove to form a second intersection line 314. When viewed from the first direction, the first intersection lines 313 on the left and right sides converge inward and intersect at a point. This intersection point is located below the central area of ​​the second groove 310, forming a geometric center that guides the groove wall to fold inward.

[0098] The ends of the first intersection lines 313 in the second groove 310 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the groove wall. Each first intersection line 313 is a straight line or a smooth curve extending from the top edge of the groove to the bottom plane. Its upper end point is located at the top edge of the groove, and its lower end point is located on the bottom plane of the groove, running through the entire height of the groove wall, providing a clear buckling path for the deformation of the groove wall.

[0099] The ends of the first intersection line 313 in the second groove 310 are respectively connected to the two diagonally opposite ends of the groove wall at the top and bottom of the groove. For a single side wall of a second groove 310, the upper end of the first intersection line 313 is connected to a corner at the top of the groove (such as the upper right corner), and the lower end is connected to the opposite corner at the bottom of the groove (such as the lower left corner). This diagonal connection makes the first intersection line 313 a diagonal line of the groove wall, which can most effectively guide the groove wall to buckle along the diagonal direction.

[0100] In the second groove 310, the second intersection lines 314 corresponding to the two second walls 312 coincide. The second intersection lines 314 formed by the intersection of the second walls 312 on the left and right sides of the second groove 310 with the bottom of the groove are not two independent lines, but coincide to form a single straight line located at the center of the bottom of the groove. This coincident second intersection line 314 is the central ridge line of the bottom of the second groove 310, and the second walls 312 on both sides are inclined inward with this line as the axis.

[0101] The ends of the second intersection line 314 in the second groove 310 are respectively connected to the two diagonally opposite ends of the bottom of the second groove 310. The two ends of the aforementioned overlapping second intersection line 314 are respectively fixed at two diagonally opposite corners of the bottom of the second groove 310. For example, one end is connected to the upper left corner of the bottom of the groove, and the other end is connected to the lower right corner.

[0102] The structure of the second interlacing section 500 will be described below.

[0103] The two ends of the staggered ridge 510 are connected to the diagonally opposite ends of the tops of the two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction. The staggered ridge 510 is a raised ridge line, with its two ends fixed to the tops of the two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction, respectively. These two fixing points are also diagonally opposite corners of their respective groove tops; for example, one end is at the lower right corner of the top of the left second groove 310, and the other end is at the upper left corner of the top of the right second groove 310, ensuring that the positioning of the staggered ridge 510 is consistent with the diagonal direction of the entire structure.

[0104] The extending direction of the staggered ridge 510 is similar to the extending direction of the second intersection line 314 in the two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction. Here, "same extending direction" means that, relative to a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction, the extending directions of the staggered ridge 510 and the second intersection line 314 both incline towards the same side. For example... Figure 2 The extension direction of the interlaced ridge 510 is from the upper left corner to the upper right corner, and the extension direction of the second intersection line 314 in the two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction is also from the lower left corner to the lower right corner of the second groove 310.

[0105] In the second staggered portion 500, two opposing second staggered sidewalls 520 extend from the staggered ridge 510 toward the bottom of each of the second grooves 310. The bottom ends of the second staggered sidewalls 520 are connected to the diagonal endpoints of the bottoms of the two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction and are located on both sides of the staggered ridge 510 in a projection plane perpendicular to the second direction. The second staggered portion 500 is an inverted U-shaped or inverted V-shaped protrusion structure formed by the staggered ridge 510 and the two sidewalls. The two second staggered sidewalls 520 extend downward (along the second direction) from the two side edges of the staggered ridge 510, and their bottom ends are respectively fixed to the diagonal endpoints of the bottoms of the two second grooves 310 extending along the first direction. In the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction, these two sidewalls are located on the left and right sides of the staggered ridge 510, forming symmetrical supports, jointly resisting external loads and guiding the overall deformation of the second staggered portion 500.

[0106] In this embodiment, the first groove 210 and the second groove 310, which are corresponding to each other, have the same shape and size in the projection shape on the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction. Specifically, for any first groove 210, its orthographic projection in the second direction completely coincides with the orthographic projection of the second groove 310 directly opposite it, and the groove outline, groove width, and groove length are all strictly consistent.

[0107] Reference Figure 3 In the first groove 210 and the second groove 310 corresponding to the positions, the wall surface of a notch 221 in the first groove 210 facing the groove wall of the first groove 210 is defined as the third wall surface 223. This third wall surface 223 is approximately parallel to the second wall surface 312 in the side wall of the second groove 310 corresponding to the notch 221. The inner surface of the notch 221 in the first groove 210, separated by the connecting wall 220, facing the groove wall, is defined as the third wall surface 223. In the second groove 310, the second wall surface 312 of the side wall spatially opposite the notch 221 is designed to be parallel to the aforementioned third wall surface 223. Here, "parallel" refers to approximately parallel rather than absolutely parallel, indicating a relatively parallel layout relationship between the second wall surface 312 and the third wall surface 223.

[0108] Among them, reference Figure 3 The shock-absorbing support component has two key structural parameters: the width of the first groove 210 and the second groove 310 extending along the first direction. Figure 3 The distance between the parallel second wall surface 312 and the third wall surface 223 in the second direction is represented by H. Figure 3 The value is represented by W. By adjusting these two parameters, the shape and corresponding force feedback of the shock-absorbing support component can be changed. The performance of the shock-absorbing support component is illustrated below through experiments on test blocks with different parameters.

[0109] In this embodiment, a test block of a shock-absorbing support component with the above-described structure was fabricated, and forces were applied to the test block in three states: vertically downward, tilted downward from the upper left, and tilted downward from the upper right. The displacement curves of the test block under these three conditions were recorded.

[0110] In the initial stage, the connecting wall 220 inside the structure buckles, and the space of the notch 221 is compressed. Energy is mainly dissipated through geometric deformation, providing users with a soft initial cushioning feel. As the displacement further increases, the structural stiffness significantly improves, entering a high-support stage. This is because the buckling deformation of the connecting wall 220 reaches its limit, or it comes into contact with the adjacent slot wall, causing the structure to resist the load through material compression and geometric locking, thereby providing stable support and preventing structural failure due to excessive compression. Different values ​​of W and H have a significant impact on the overall stiffness and support performance of the specimen. By adjusting these two parameters, a wide range of adjustments from soft comfort to rigid support can be achieved on a structural platform. The test block is uniformly compressed along the vertical direction. The first groove 210 wall of the first side 101 moves inward, and the second groove 310 wall of the second side 102 moves inward simultaneously. The connecting wall 220 undergoes symmetrical bending and buckling. The staggered valley 410 is further recessed on the first side 101, and the staggered ridge 510 is slightly protruding on the second side 102. The entire groove module shrinks inward along the groove axis without twisting or local collapse, indicating that the structure has good overall stability and deformation coordination under pure vertical load.

[0111] When the specimen was subjected to a downward force from the upper left, the structure exhibited significant shear resistance in the horizontal direction. Under oblique loads, the structure effectively resisted lateral slippage through the coordinated deformation of the first groove module 200 and the second groove module 300. The peak value of the horizontal reaction force corresponds to the critical point of geometric locking or material compression within the structure. Although the reaction force decreased slightly thereafter, it still provided continuous lateral support, preventing uncontrolled displacement of the structure during complex movements. The compression on the left side of the specimen was significantly greater than on the right side. The grooves extending along the third direction in the first groove module 200 and the connecting wall 220 coordinated to guide the deformation. The cross valley 410 was more deeply recessed on the left side, and the entire groove module underwent asymmetrical but orderly inward contraction around the groove axis without shear instability or local tearing, verifying the structure's good adaptability to oblique impacts and its shear stability.

[0112] The behavior of the test block under a downward force from the upper right is roughly the same as that under a downward force from the upper left, and will not be elaborated further here. The compression is more significant in the right side region of the test block. The slot modules arranged along the first and third directions deform in tandem. The connecting wall 220 buckles along a preset path. The staggered valleys 410 and staggered ridges 510 exhibit greater deformation in the right side region. The overall structure still maintains orderly inward contraction and does not collapse or become disordered, further verifying the reliability and anisotropic coordination of the design under complex load conditions.

[0113] Ideal shock absorbers need to dissipate energy under small impacts and provide structural stiffness to ensure support under larger impacts. The mechanical response of conventional homogeneous materials or simple structures is usually linear or monotonic, and it is difficult to optimize flexibility and support for different magnitudes of impact in a uniform structure. For example, structures that rely mainly on the elastic deformation of materials usually have high initial stiffness to obtain end support, thus reducing comfort under low impacts.

[0114] This embodiment provides a shock-absorbing support component that improves shock absorption and rebound performance under impact through structural shape improvements. Firstly, when subjected to initial pressure, the component's mechanical behavior is primarily determined by the structure formed by the connecting wall 220 and the notch 221 within the first groove 210. The connecting wall 220 is designed as a thin-walled structure prone to geometric deformation in a specific direction, and the notches 221 on both sides provide the necessary deformation space. Therefore, when the initial impact force is applied, energy is dissipated primarily by driving the connecting wall 220 to undergo a preset, controllable buckling deformation, rather than through material compression. The mechanical characteristic of this process is that only a small force is required for large deformation displacements, resulting in lower stiffness in the initial stage of compression. This provides the user with an initial shock absorption stroke, transforming the instantaneous impact into a smoother process, thereby improving comfort. As external pressure increases, due to the geometric limit of the buckling deformation of the connecting wall 220, its resistance to deformation nonlinearly increases when the deformation reaches this limit, or when different parts of it come into contact, or when it contacts an adjacent groove wall. At this point, the mechanical action mode shifts from being dominated by structural buckling to being dominated by material compression and structural locking, resulting in increased component stiffness and entering a high-support mechanical plateau. This stage can resist and support larger impact forces, preventing component failure due to excessive compression and thus ensuring safe use. Conventional thin-walled structures are prone to overall instability or unpredictable torsion under compression. This application's solution solves this problem by correspondingly setting the staggered valleys 410 of the first staggered section 400 and the staggered ridges 510 of the second staggered section 500. The matching concave and convex structures on both sides of the component guide the entire slot module unit to contract and fold inward along a stable and defined path when the component is under compression, ensuring that the local buckling behavior dominated by the connecting wall 220 occurs in a controllable overall state. This design avoids the possibility of disorderly collapse or lateral shear failure of the structure, allowing impact energy to be stably absorbed and converted. Finally, the design of this structural unit enables it to cope with complex loads. The slots in the first slot module 200, arranged intersecting along the first and third directions, possess anisotropic mechanical properties, exhibiting different stiffness and deformation modes in response to forces in different directions. This design enables the component to withstand not only vertical impacts but also complex loads with shear components during motion. Furthermore, since the component's mechanical properties originate from its geometry rather than the material itself, this allows for functional customization. By parametrically adjusting the geometric dimensions of different slot modules, such as slot width and connecting wall 220 thickness, the mechanical response curve of that region can be controlled. This allows for different combinations of shock absorption and support performance at different locations within the same component, based on biomechanical requirements, achieving zoned functional design that is difficult to achieve with traditional homogeneous materials or simple structures.

[0115] Furthermore, the sole 600 involved in this embodiment adopts the aforementioned shock-absorbing support component.

[0116] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cushioning support component is located on the inner and / or outer side of the sole 600, with the first side 101 facing the outer side of the sole 600 and the second side 102 facing the inner side of the sole 600. Specifically, the cushioning support component is arranged along the length of the sole 600 and can be located on the inner and / or outer side of the sole 600, with its first side 101 facing the outer side of the sole 600 (where the outer side refers to the side opposite to the centerline in the width direction of the sole 600), and the second side 102 facing the inner side of the sole 600 (where the inner side refers to the side opposite to the centerline in the width direction of the sole 600).

[0117] In this embodiment, there are two cushioning support components, respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the sole 600. The first side surfaces 101 of the two cushioning support components are opposite to each other along the width direction of the sole 600, while the second side surfaces 102 of the two cushioning support components are opposite to each other along the width direction of the sole 600. The two cushioning components, along the width direction of the sole 600, form a third groove 610 for exposing the second side surfaces 102 by the cooperation of the two second side surfaces 102. Specifically, these two cushioning support components are symmetrically distributed in the sole 600, each working independently and responding to forces on the inner and outer sides of the foot, respectively. When the foot pronates or supinates, the corresponding cushioning support component on one side will undergo compression deformation first, its internal connecting wall 220 buckles to dissipate energy, and the geometric shapes of the staggered valleys 410 and staggered ridges 510 guide the deformation along a preset path to prevent structural instability. Since the second sides 102 of the two cushioning support components are opposite each other in the width direction of the sole 600, a longitudinal groove, namely the third groove 610, is naturally formed between them. This third groove 610 is not an additional structure, but is formed by the contour boundaries of the two components.

[0118] The first direction defined in the cushioning support component is the length direction of the sole 600. Specifically, the extension direction of the cushioning support component is consistent with the direction of the sole 600 from the toes to the heel. This arrangement allows the groove modules extending along the first direction to effectively cope with the fore-and-aft impact forces generated during running or walking. When the foot strikes the ground, the impact force is transmitted along the length direction of the sole 600, and the connecting wall 220 in the first groove module 200 flexes to dissipate energy; when the heel pushes off the ground, the groove module at the heel position provides rigid support. At the same time, this directional arrangement facilitates the connection of multiple groove modules in series along the length direction of the sole 600 to form a continuous cushioning band covering key areas such as the forefoot, arch, and heel.

[0119] The cushioning support components are positioned at least along the length of the sole 600, corresponding to the forefoot, arch, and heel. The widths of the first groove 210 and second groove 310 extending along the first direction in the cushioning support components located at the forefoot position are smaller than the widths of the first groove 210 and second groove 310 extending along the first direction in the cushioning support components located at the arch and / or heel positions. Specifically, in the forefoot region, the toes need to flex flexively to complete the push-off action; therefore, the groove width in this region is designed to be smaller. This results in a smaller groove cavity space and higher initial stiffness of the connecting wall 220, while also retaining sufficient deformation travel to provide moderate cushioning while ensuring flexibility. In the arch region, the main function is to bear weight and maintain the arch shape; therefore, the groove width is designed to be larger to provide stronger support stiffness and prevent arch collapse. In the heel area, which is the first part to contact the ground and bear the greatest impact force, the groove width is also designed to be larger, its internal cavity volume is larger, and the buckling stroke of the connecting wall 220 is longer, so as to absorb greater impact energy and provide high cushioning performance.

[0120] Reference Figures 6 to 8 This illustrates a simulation of the sole 600 employing the aforementioned cushioning components. Figures 6 to 8 As can be seen, after the heel of the 600mm sole contacts the ground, the cushioning support units in the heel area are the first to compress and flex, absorbing and dissipating the initial impact energy. At this point, the stress is mainly concentrated in the contact area. As the body's center of gravity shifts forward, the stress area gradually transitions from the heel to the middle of the foot, with more cushioning units being activated and participating in coordinated deformation, smoothly distributing the impact force over a wider range. When full-length pressure is achieved, the deformation of most cushioning units approaches their geometric limits, significantly improving the overall structural stiffness and forming a stable, highly supportive platform that effectively resists peak pressure. This achieves a dynamic mechanical performance transformation from initial flexible cushioning to later rigid support throughout the gait cycle.

[0121] Reference Figures 9 to 11 The figures provided in this manual show a pair of proportions. It is clear that in the sole 600 without the aforementioned cushioning components, the material strain caused by impact (red area in the figure) is highly concentrated at a single point of force, shifting from the heel to the forefoot with the gait cycle. This strain concentration indicates that energy is not effectively dispersed, easily leading to excessive local material compression, thus reducing cushioning durability and comfort. It may also result in insufficient stability due to the lack of structured support.

[0122] By comparing the two sets of simulation images, we can draw the following conclusions. Figures 9 to 11 The conventional 600 sole shown exhibits a single, passive material compression pattern, resulting in a contradiction between its two core performance characteristics: cushioning and support. Meanwhile... Figures 6 to 8The shoe sole 600 shown, which incorporates the cushioning component of this invention, achieves a dynamic and phased mechanical response through geometric design: at the moment of impact, it disperses stress through structural deformation to achieve cushioning; when support is needed, it can provide stable platform support through the resistance between structures, thereby resolving the contradiction between cushioning and support and significantly improving the overall performance of the shoe sole 600.
