Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of footwear, specifically to a highly breathable athletic shoe and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] As an important piece of sports equipment, running shoes directly affect athletes' performance and health. Existing running shoes usually focus on a single performance aspect, but it is difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the synergistic improvement of multiple performance aspects. For example, the breathability of running shoes largely depends on the mesh material of the upper itself, and the sole lacks active guidance of airflow direction, resulting in limited heat dissipation efficiency. Reinforcing the toe and heel often comes at the cost of lightweight and flexibility; the abrasion-resistant layer of the sole is usually a flat design, which creates a conflict between grip and abrasion resistance; in response to the above-mentioned technologies, this application proposes a pressure-resistant and breathable running shoe to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly breathable sports shoe and its preparation method, which improves the breathability of the material while also providing good mechanical strength.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A highly breathable athletic shoe includes an upper and a sole, wherein the sole comprises the following components in parts by weight: 20-30 parts polyurethane, 6-10 parts polyoxyethylene ether, 12-20 parts styrene-butadiene rubber, 5-10 parts modified polyvinylidene fluoride, 12-18 parts modified melamine foam, 1-3 parts zinc oxide, 1-2 parts vinyltrimethoxysilane, 8-10 parts diatomaceous earth, 4-8 parts calcium stearate, 5-8 parts vinyl silicone oil, and 10-15 parts ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

[0005] Preferably, the sole comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30 parts polyurethane, 10 parts polyoxyethylene ether, 20 parts styrene-butadiene rubber, 10 parts modified polyvinylidene fluoride, 18 parts modified melamine foam, 3 parts zinc oxide, 2 parts vinyltrimethoxysilane, 10 parts diatomaceous earth, 8 parts calcium stearate, 8 parts vinyl silicone oil, and 15 parts ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

[0006] A method for preparing a highly breathable sports shoe includes the following steps: mixing and kneading polyurethane, polyoxyethylene ether, styrene-butadiene rubber, modified polyvinylidene fluoride, modified melamine foam, zinc oxide, vinyltrimethoxysilane, diatomaceous earth, calcium stearate, vinyl silicone oil and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and then vulcanizing and molding to obtain the sole. Assemble the above-mentioned sole, insole, and upper into a shoe to obtain a highly breathable sports shoe.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified polyvinylidene fluoride is as follows: polyvinylidene fluoride, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetone solution are mixed, stirred at room temperature of 25°C for 12-16 hours, electrospun, and dried to obtain a fiber membrane; The fiber membrane, 10% sodium hydroxide solution, methanol, 1,4-p-phenylenediamine and nano magnesium oxide powder were mixed and stirred for 24-48 hours. After drying at 60°C, the mixture was placed in a sample boat and pushed into a tube furnace under an argon atmosphere and heated to carbonize at 800-1000°C to obtain modified polyvinylidene fluoride.

[0008] Preferably, the weight ratio of polyvinylidene fluoride, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetone solution is 1:1:3; and the weight ratio of fiber membrane, sodium hydroxide solution, methanol, 1,4-p-phenylenediamine and nano magnesium oxide powder is 1:2:4:1:1.

[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified melamine foam includes the following steps: mixing titanium aluminum carbide and a hydrofluoric acid solution with a mass fraction of 20%, stirring magnetically at 35°C for 20-24 hours, then adding melamine foam, carbon nanotubes and polyvinylpyrrolidone to the above solution, and vacuum drying to obtain modified melamine foam.

[0010] Preferably, the weight ratio of the titanium aluminum carbide, hydrofluoric acid solution, melamine foam, carbon nanotubes and polyvinylpyrrolidone is 1:1:1:1:3.

[0011] Preferably, the mixing temperature is 110-115℃ and the processing time is 5-10 min; the vulcanization molding temperature is 155-165℃, the molding time is 90-100 min, and the molding pressure is 10-15 MPa.

[0012] This invention preserves the three-dimensional, breathable, porous structure of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) through defluorination, crosslinking, and carbonization. The carbonized modified PVDF serves as a framework, capable of supporting other components. Furthermore, the modified melamine foam, acting as an elastic matrix, possesses high porosity and a large specific surface area. This allows it to maintain good breathability while preserving the overall strength of the components. The resulting insole, under pressure, generates a larger contact area, creating more breathable pathways. Gas molecules can easily pass through the pores of the porous mesh structure, providing the insole with excellent breathability. Attached Figure Description
