Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shoemaking technology, and in particular to a health-preserving handmade cloth shoe and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Handmade cloth shoes are popular among consumers due to their comfort, breathability, and sweat absorption. With increasing emphasis on health and wellness, handmade cloth shoes with health-promoting functions have become a new market favorite. Traditionally, handmade cloth shoes are made of cotton and hemp rope. In recent years, techniques using natural materials such as bamboo shells and palm fiber have emerged. For example, patent document CN105962522A discloses a method for manufacturing health-promoting and odor-resistant shoes, which uses a multi-layered fabric composite upper. Another patent document, also CN105962522A, discloses a method for manufacturing cloth shoes using bamboo shells for the soles, with a cotton layer laid on top to increase comfort. Furthermore, there are techniques for applying palm fiber to soles or insoles, such as a method that involves layering palm fiber layers with a cloth base to create soles or insoles.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have the following shortcomings: First, the processing of palm fiber is relatively crude, failing to fully utilize its material properties, and the palm fiber itself is soft and flammable, resulting in performance defects when used directly; second, the methods for achieving health benefits are limited, mostly involving simple material layering, such as laying a layer of cotton or medicinal powder, making it difficult to sustain and fully realize its effects; third, the bonding strength between the layers of the sole, as well as the stability and durability of the overall structure, need to be improved. Therefore, developing a more stable structure, more significant health benefits, and a more durable handmade cloth shoe is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0004] Application content

[0005] This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by proposing a handmade cloth shoe with a stable structure, comfortable wear, and lasting and significant health benefits, as well as a method for its production.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

[0007] A method for making health-preserving handmade cloth shoes includes making the sole, making the upper, and sewing the made sole and upper into finished cloth shoes. The sole is obtained by the following method:

[0008] S1. Raw material processing:

[0009] S1-1. Pre-treat the palm fiber sheets, including washing, disinfection, drying and flattening, and classify the treated palm fiber sheets according to fiber quality to obtain Class A, Class B and Class C palm fiber sheets;

[0010] S1-2. The green oak seeds are dehulled, washed, dried and ground to obtain green oak powder;

[0011] S1-3. Dry and grind old ginger to obtain old ginger powder;

[0012] S1-4. The mugwort is washed, dried and processed into floss to obtain mugwort floss;

[0013] S2. Production of the mountain palm midsole: The green oak powder and old ginger powder obtained in step S1 are mixed with the first adhesive and heated to form a paste-like adhesive slurry; the pre-treated mountain palm sheet is bonded in multiple layers through the paste-like adhesive slurry, dried and cut according to the shoe pattern to obtain the mountain palm midsole sheet; the mountain palm midsole sheet is edge-bound to form the mountain palm midsole.

[0014] S3. Raw base fabrication: Multiple layers of cotton fabric are laminated and bonded together using a second adhesive to create the raw base;

[0015] S4. Shoe sole blank integration: Use hemp rope to sew the palm fiber midsole obtained in step S2 to the rough sole obtained in step S3 to form the shoe sole blank;

[0016] S5. Filling layer laying: A filling material is laid on the upper surface of the palm fiber insole. The filling material is composed of a mixture of oak powder, old ginger powder, mugwort floss and short cotton linters.

[0017] S6. Sole forming: The paddy midsole with filling is covered with cotton cloth, and the perimeter of the cotton cloth is fixed to the perimeter of the paddy midsole to obtain the finished sole.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the pretreatment of the palm flakes further includes:

[0019] S1-11. Collect palm flakes, trim them into regular shapes, and clean them thoroughly;

[0020] S1-12. Place the trimmed and cleaned palm flakes in boiling salt water for disinfection;

[0021] S1-13. Wash the disinfected palm flakes with clean water and air dry them naturally until the moisture content is 6%-8%;

[0022] S1-14. Flatten, stack, and press the dried palm flakes;

[0023] S1-15. Based on fiber length, width, and thickness, the processed palm fiber sheets are divided into categories A, B, and C, and stacked separately for later use. Through meticulous classification, different types of palm fiber sheets can be selected according to the needs of different parts of the shoe sole. For example, high-quality category A palm fiber sheets can be used in areas subject to greater stress, thereby optimizing sole performance and material utilization.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filler in step S5, by weight, comprises: 30-40 parts of oak powder, 30-40 parts of old ginger powder, 20-30 parts of mugwort floss, and 20-30 parts of cotton linters. This formula works synergistically: oak powder has antibacterial, antiseptic, and moth-proof effects; old ginger powder is warm in nature and can dispel cold, remove dampness, and promote blood circulation, helping to prevent rheumatic joint problems; mugwort floss can warm the meridians, dispel cold, relieve pain, and has antibacterial and health-promoting effects; and cotton linters play a role in adsorption, fixation, and increasing comfort. The mixture of various natural powders with health-promoting functions and fibers forms a composite functional layer that can continuously and stably exert its effects.

[0025] Furthermore, the filling material is prepared by first uniformly mixing cotton linters and mugwort floss, and then uniformly mixing it with oak powder and old ginger powder. This step-by-step mixing method allows the mugwort floss to be more evenly dispersed in the fiber network of the cotton linters, avoiding the deposition of powdery materials and ensuring the consistency of the overall function of the filling layer.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the multi-layer bonding involves bonding 3-5 palm fiber sheets together alternately, one facing forward and the other backward, using a paste-like adhesive. This bonding method effectively eliminates the internal stress of the palm fiber sheets, making the bonded palm fiber insole flatter, more stable, and less prone to deformation.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the edge-binding process involves wrapping and bonding the edges of the palm fiber midsole with a cotton strip 2.5 cm wide. This edge-binding process not only improves aesthetics but also effectively prevents the palm fiber layer edges from fraying, enhancing the wear resistance of the sole edges and overall durability.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first adhesive in step S2 is local honey, which is natural, has strong adhesive power, and also has certain health and preservative effects; the second adhesive in step S3 is a paste made by cooking green oak powder, sweet bridge powder and wheat flour. This natural paste has good adhesive power and is consistent with the overall natural and environmentally friendly concept of the present invention.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the stitching connection is achieved by hand-weaving and stitching the palm fiber midsole and the rough sole with hemp rope, and sewing an L-shaped reinforcement at the toe and hem connection. This hand-weaving and stitching not only preserves intangible cultural heritage techniques and enhances the texture of the cloth shoes, but the hemp rope stitching structure is also more robust and durable than simple bonding. The L-shaped reinforcement significantly improves the strength of easily stressed openings such as the toe and hem of the sole.

[0030] This invention also protects a type of health-preserving handmade cloth shoe, which is made using any of the aforementioned methods for making health-preserving handmade cloth shoes.

[0031] Furthermore, the health-preserving handmade cloth shoes include a sole body made of a palm fiber midsole and a rough sole stitched together, and a filling layer disposed on the upper surface of the palm fiber midsole, the filling layer comprising a mixture of oak powder, old ginger powder, mugwort floss and cotton lint.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] 1. Above the palm fiber midsole of the shoe, a composite filling layer is created, composed of various traditional Chinese medicine ingredients (oak root powder, old ginger powder, and mugwort fluff) mixed with cotton linters. This filling layer is not simply a drug interlayer, but rather, through its mixing with cotton linters, it forms an "active layer" that can continuously and stably release medicinal effects, resulting in significant and lasting health benefits. Oak root, old ginger, and mugwort are all traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, and their synergistic effect can effectively achieve multiple health benefits, including antibacterial, deodorizing, dampness-removing, cold-dispelling, blood-activating and meridian-clearing, prevention of foot rheumatism and joint pain, and improvement of human immunity.

[0034] 2. Utilizing a double-layer composite structure of "mountain palm midsole + raw fabric outsole," hand-stitched together with hemp rope, the shoe boasts strong bonding, a stable structure, and durability. The mountain palm midsole provides excellent elasticity and breathability, while the raw fabric outsole offers a thick, abrasion-resistant base. In particular, the meticulous processing of the mountain palm sheets, the alternating overlapping and bonding of the layers, and the edge binding of the mountain palm midsole all contribute to ensuring the stability and durability of the sole structure, overcoming the defects of a single mountain palm outsole that are prone to deformation and fraying.

[0035] 3. All natural raw materials, including palm, sage, old ginger, and mugwort, underwent detailed pretreatment processes to optimize their properties. For example, the boiling brine disinfection, precise moisture content control, leveling and pressing, and quality-based classification of palm not only ensured the hygiene and safety of the materials but also greatly improved their processability and the consistency of the final product's performance.

[0036] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a process flow diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for making health-preserving handmade cloth shoes includes making the sole, making the upper, and sewing the made sole and upper into finished cloth shoes. The sole is obtained by the following method:

[0041] S1. Raw material pretreatment:

[0042] S1-1. Palm Leaf Processing: Collect naturally fallen palm leaf pieces or those peeled from palm trees. Trim them into regular rectangles with scissors, removing any loose edges and veins. Place the trimmed palm leaf pieces in boiling water with a suitable amount of salt, and boil for 10 minutes to sterilize. Remove and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow the sterilized and cleaned palm leaf pieces to air dry naturally in a ventilated area, controlling the moisture content to around 7%. Flatten the dried palm leaf pieces using a flattening device, then bundle them into stacks of 20 pieces each, and press them down with a heavy object for 48 hours. Finally, based on the fiber quality, classify the palm leaf pieces into three categories: Category A consists of large, wide, and high-quality palm leaf pieces; Category B consists of medium-width and long palm leaf pieces with good fiber quality; and Category C consists of shorter, narrower, and thinner palm leaf pieces. Then, neatly stack the divided palm leaf pieces.

[0043] S1-2. Processing of Quercus glauca seeds: Remove the shells from the collected Quercus glauca seeds to obtain the kernels. Wash them with clean water and dry them in an oven at a low temperature of 60℃. Grind the dried Quercus glauca kernels into a fine powder using a grinder, pass them through a 100-mesh sieve, then seal them in a sealed bag and store them in a cool, ventilated place for later use.

[0044] S1-3. Processing of old ginger: Select dry old ginger (easily broken by hand), grind it into fine powder using a grinder, pass it through an 80-mesh sieve, seal it in packaging, and store it in a moisture-proof environment.

[0045] S1-4. Artemisia Processing: After harvesting the artemisia, wash the leaves and stems, and let them dry. Grind them into fluffy pieces using a grinder. Pack each piece into a small bag of 200 grams and seal for later use.

[0046] S1-5. Preparation of adhesive paste: Take an appropriate amount of local honey as an adhesive, mix it with oak powder and old ginger powder in a weight ratio of 2:1:1, stir evenly, and prepare a paste that can be spread.

[0047] S1-6. Preparation of base paste: Mix sago palm powder, sweet bridge powder and wheat flour in a weight ratio of 1:1:3, add an appropriate amount of water, heat and stir at the same time, cook into a semi-transparent paste, and set aside after cooling.

[0048] S2. Sole manufacturing:

[0049] S2-1. Making the palm fiber midsole: Take 4 processed palm fiber sheets, evenly apply the prepared paste adhesive between each sheet, and stack them together in a staggered pattern. After stacking, press them in a press and let them air dry or dry at a low temperature. After drying, use a standard shoe pattern die to cut the palm fiber midsole sheet on a cutting machine. Use a strip cutter to cut cotton muslin into 2.5 cm wide diagonal binding strips. Apply the paste adhesive to the edge of the palm fiber midsole sheet, apply the paste to the binding strips as well, align them, and evenly wrap them around the edge of the palm fiber midsole sheet. Let them air dry or dry in a oven to complete the edge rolling process, thus obtaining the palm fiber midsole.

[0050] S2-2. Making the blank sole: Use a steel die to cut cotton twill cloth into sole pieces that are 1 cm larger than the perimeter of the palm fiber midsole. Apply cooled cloth paste to the sole pieces, and then stack and bond 6-8 layers of the sole to make the blank sole.

[0051] S2-3. Assemble the sole blank: Place the prepared palm fiber midsole on the blank sole and align them. Sew the two together with hemp rope using traditional hand-woven techniques. For reinforcement, sew an "L" shape at the connection between the toe and heel to obtain the sole blank.

[0052] S2-4. Laying the filling layer: Take 350g of oak powder, 350g of old ginger powder, 250g of mugwort floss, and 250g of cotton linters. First, thoroughly mix the cotton linters and mugwort floss to ensure the mugwort floss is evenly distributed within the cotton fibers. Then, add the oak powder and old ginger powder and mix thoroughly to obtain the composite filling material. Spread this filling material evenly on the upper surface of the palm fiber insole.

[0053] S2-5. Sole forming: Take a piece of patterned pure cotton cloth and cover it on the laid-out filling. Fold the edges of the cotton cloth down and fix it to the edge binding strip of the palm fiber insole with paste or sewing thread. After it dries or is sewn firmly, the finished sole is obtained.

[0054] S3. Shoe upper fabrication and finished product sewing:

[0055] The upper is made using traditional handmade cloth shoe techniques, selecting high-quality pure cotton fabric for cutting and sewing. Finally, the finished sole and upper are hand-sewn together, resulting in the health-preserving handmade cloth shoe described in this invention.

[0056] Comparative Example 1:

[0057] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that, in making the palm fiber base, instead of using a paste-like adhesive slurry made from oak powder, old ginger powder, and local honey, ordinary starch paste is used for bonding.

[0058] Comparative Example 2:

[0059] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the composite filling layer in steps S2-4 is not set, but a layer of pure cotton cloth is directly covered on the upper surface of the palm midsole as the shoe insole.

[0060] Effect verification:

[0061] The performance of the cloth shoes prepared in Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was compared. Ten volunteers with foot sweat and odor problems were selected for each example to undergo a 30-day trial period. The results showed:

[0062] ① Odor-resistant effect: The cloth shoes in Example 1 had no obvious odor after being worn continuously for 8 hours, and the antibacterial and odor-resistant effect was significant; the cloth shoes in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 both produced odors to varying degrees under the same conditions.

[0063] ② Wearing comfort and health benefits: Testers of Example 1 generally reported that the shoes were dry and warm inside, and their feet felt comfortable. Three testers who reported mild foot joint discomfort indicated that their discomfort was alleviated after wearing the shoes for 30 days. Testers of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 reported that their moisture-proofing, warmth retention, and foot comfort were not as good as those of Example 1.

[0064] ③ Structural durability: The cloth shoes of Example 1 underwent a simulated walking test (2000 bends). There was no separation or detachment between the layers of the sole, and the structure remained intact. In Comparative Example 1, the palm fiber layer using ordinary starch paste showed slight signs of interlayer loosening in the later stages of the bending test.

[0065] In summary, this invention significantly improves the wearing comfort, structural stability, and health benefits of handmade cloth shoes through unique raw material processing, composite structure design, and the introduction of a health-promoting filling layer, and has extremely high practical value and market prospects.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
