Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shoe materials, in particular to a knitted shoe upper with a foldable eye protection area, a shoe and a knitting process thereof. Background Art

[0002] The "eye protection" of the shoe is the place on the upper where the shoelaces are worn. The eye protection area of ​​the traditional flying woven upper will cause serious wear and tear in the eye protection area due to the contact and friction between the material and the shoelaces during use, which will reduce the service life of the shoe. Therefore, some reinforcement materials will be added to the eye protection area, which will make the processing of the shoe more complicated and increase the risk of material waste, which is not conducive to environmental protection. In addition, the conventional eye protection area is generally a flat structure. In order to expand the possibility of its appearance, this solution was created. Summary of the invention

[0003] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and partly become apparent from the description, or be understood by implementing the present invention.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The present embodiment provides a knitted upper with a foldable eye protection area, including a basic upper 1 and an eye protection extended woven surface 2. The basic upper 1 is provided with an eye protection area 3 for the shoe rope 6 to be inserted. The eye protection extended woven surface 2 is woven integrally with the area of ​​the basic upper 1 around the eye protection area 3, and the eye protection extended woven surface 2 is folded to cover the eye protection area 3.

[0060] The eye protection area 3 is provided with a shoelace hole 4, which is a perforated type. The perforated type refers to a hole-like structure commonly seen in existing uppers. Usually, the size of the hole-like structure allows the shoelace 6 to pass through, and adjacent shoelace holes 4 are usually arranged at equal intervals. A folding line 5 is arranged between the eye protection extended woven surface 2 and the basic upper 1. The folding line 5 refers to the boundary line between the eye protection extended woven surface 2 and the basic upper 1. When woven as one, the boundary line position can be easily folded by changing the weaving method, so that the eye protection extended woven surface 2 and the basic upper 1 are more closely fitted. The eye protection extended woven surface 2 is folded along the folding line 5, and the folding direction is outward. The eye protection extended woven surface 2 is provided with a layer, and after being folded, the eye protection extended woven surface 2 forms a double-layer structure with the basic upper 1. The eye protection extended woven surface 2 is folded once along the folding line 5 and is arranged above the eye protection area 3. In this embodiment, the relative position of the shoelace hole 4 and the folding line 5 of the knitted upper is that the folding line 5 is closer to the center of the upper, and the setting direction of the folding line 5 is the length direction of the upper. Through these basic structures, the eye protection extension braided surface 2 is folded outward to cover the shoelace hole 4. The knitted upper in this embodiment changes the structure of the shoelace hole 4 of the traditional upper visible, and by integrally knitting the eye protection extension braided surface 2, a corresponding structure is formed when manufacturing the upper, which improves production efficiency; the eye protection extension braided surface 2 can cover the eye protection area 3, increasing the shape and style of the upper, and the eye protection extension braided surface 2 can be extended to set various styles for decoration.

[0061] On the basis of Example 1, a shoe rope hole 4 with the same structure as the shoe rope hole 4 on the eye protection area 3 is set at the corresponding position of the eye protection extended woven surface 2, and the shoe rope holes 4 of the upper and lower layers can correspond to each other or be arranged alternately, and the shoe rope 6 is interspersed between the upper and lower layers. At this time, the eye protection extended woven surface 2 can increase the strength of the eye protection area 3 to a certain extent.

[0062] The change of the position of the folding line 5 will affect the change of the folding direction, such as Figure 7 As shown, the folding direction is changed to folding toward the tongue.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 The present embodiment provides a knitted upper with a foldable eye protection area, comprising a basic upper 1 and an eye protection extension knitted surface 2. The basic upper 1 is provided with an eye protection area 3 for inserting a shoe rope 6. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is integrally knitted around the eye protection area 3 in the area of ​​the basic upper 1 where the eye protection area 3 is located, and the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded to cover the eye protection area 3. A folding line 5 is provided between the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 and the basic upper 1, and the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded along the folding line 5. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is provided with a layer, and after being folded, the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 forms a double-layer structure with the basic upper 1. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded outward once along the folding line 5 and is provided above the eye protection area 3.

[0065] The shoelace hole 4 on the basic upper 1 is arranged close to the folding position to form an opening, and the eye protection extended knitted surface 2 is arranged close to the folding position to form another opening that communicates with the former opening. The opening forms a plurality of interlaced surfaces on the knitted upper, and the shoelace 6 passes through the interlaced surfaces alternately in sequence. The openings that are connected form a large opening. The large opening structure refers to Figure 5 , Figure 6 Compared with the traditional through-hole shoelace hole 4, the large opening structure is combined with the eye protection extended braided surface 2, so that the threading position of the shoelace 6 is changed, and it is more inclined to the position of the folding line 5. In the traditional shoelace 6, the shoelace 6 is partially wound around the back of the upper. In this embodiment, since the shoelace 6 is no longer wound around the back of the upper, on the one hand, the comfort of the foot when wearing the shoe is improved, and on the other hand, the style and structure of the upper are more novel.

[0066] In the technical solutions described in Example 1 and Example 2, the eye protection extended woven surface 2 can be integrally woven in any eye protection area 3 on both sides of the upper, the size, shape, position and number of the shoelace holes 4 can be set according to the needs, and the outline and size of the eye protection area 3 can be changed arbitrarily. Through the above changes, knitted uppers with different structures can be extended.

[0067] The folded eye protection area in the upper of the present invention can be made into multiple layers of symmetrical through holes for inserting shoe laces; or a row of through holes or a penetrable opening can be made at the folded position for inserting shoe laces. The former can fold the multiple layers of eye protection area together to enhance the physical properties of the eye protection area; the latter can extend the eye protection area to cover the shoe laces and enhance the overall visual effect of the upper.

[0068] Example 3

[0069] This embodiment provides a shoe, in which the upper of the shoe adopts the knitted upper structure with a foldable eye protection area 3 in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, and the upper is connected to the sole to form the shoe.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] This embodiment provides a knitting process for knitting a knitted shoe upper with a foldable eye protection area, comprising the following steps:

[0072] Step 1: The upper is woven horizontally, and one side of the shoe body is woven first, wherein the shoe body is a double-layer structure, and the shoe body includes a highly elastic woven collar and an eye protection area 3 woven with shoe rope holes 4;

[0073] Step 2: Expand the knitted eye protection area 3, and turn the double-layer structure into a single-layer structure in any knitting row of the expanded area as the folding line 5, and then knit the edge of the extended eye protection area by means of looping needles and flat closing needles;

[0074] Step 3: Weave the toe and tongue of the upper, and connect the toe and tongue together by intarsia weaving;

[0075] Step 4: Knit the eye extension area on the other side of the upper, the outline of which is consistent with the eye extension area on the knitted side, and turn the double-layer structure into a single layer at any knitting row as the folding line 5;

[0076] Step 5: Continue weaving the eye protection area 3, the other side of the shoe body and the collar along the fold line 5 until the upper is knitted.

[0077] Through the above weaving steps, a knitted upper with a foldable eye protection area 3 can be integrally woven. After the upper is woven and prepared, a knitted upper with an eye protection extended woven surface 2 is produced by the weaving equipment. Subsequently, it only needs to be connected to the sole to produce shoes with a corresponding structure, which saves complicated processes and reduces production costs.
