Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoe uppers, in particular to a breathable shoe upper with good wrapping strength. Background Art

[0002] TPU upper is a thermoplastic upper, which is formed into a breathable upper with pores by hot pressing TPU hot melt line. TPU upper has advantages such as breathability and wear resistance, but also has disadvantages of poor support performance. TPU upper is easy to deform, and the deformation is large, and the wrapping support performance of the foot is poor, and it cannot protect the foot well. In the prior art, the deformation of the upper is generally limited by compounding leather sheets or webbing on the inner and outer sides of the TPU upper to improve the wrapping support performance of the upper. The wrapping of the TPU upper can be improved by compounding leather sheets or webbing, but the production process is complicated.

[0003] This case arises to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the utility model proposes a breathable shoe upper with good air permeability, good wrapping support performance and good wrapping strength.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the solution adopted by the utility model is: a breathable upper with good wrapping strength, comprising a TPU surface layer, a shoe opening and a shoe tongue opening are arranged on the TPU surface layer, and a first TPU reinforcement layer for limiting the deformation amount of the upper in the front-to-back direction and a second TPU reinforcement layer for limiting the deformation amount of the upper in the left-to-right direction are arranged on the TPU surface layer;

[0006] The first TPU reinforcement layer includes a plurality of first hot melt lines, which are located on both sides of the shoe opening and the shoe tongue opening and are laid in a wave shape in the middle of the TPU surface layer along the front-to-back direction;

[0007] The second TPU reinforcement layer includes a plurality of second hot-melt lines, a plurality of third hot-melt lines, and a plurality of fourth hot-melt lines. The second hot-melt lines, the third hot-melt lines, and the fourth hot-melt lines are all in a U-shape with the bottom facing the middle of the TPU surface layer and the two free ends facing the edge of the TPU surface layer and aligned with the edge. The second hot-melt lines, the third hot-melt lines, and the fourth hot-melt lines are all arranged on the inner and outer sides of the TPU surface layer along the inner and outer edges of the TPU surface layer; the third hot-melt line is arranged between adjacent second hot-melt lines; and the fourth hot-melt line is arranged inside the third hot-melt lines.

[0008] A further improvement is that a third TPU reinforcement layer is also arranged on the TPU surface layer, and the third TPU reinforcement layer includes a plurality of fifth hot melt lines, and the fifth hot melt lines are arranged in a wavy shape along the front-to-back direction on the second hot melt lines, the third hot melt lines, and the fourth hot melt lines.

[0009] A further improvement is that the length of the third thermal fuse line is shorter than that of the second thermal fuse line, and the length of the fourth thermal fuse line is shorter than that of the third thermal fuse line.

[0010] A further improvement is that: the laying area of ​​the third TPU reinforcement layer located on the outer side of the TPU surface layer is larger than the laying area of ​​the inner side of the TPU surface layer.

[0011] A further improvement is that the laying range of the fifth hot melt line located on the outer side of the TPU surface layer is not less than the laying range of the fourth hot melt line and not greater than the laying range of the second hot melt line.

[0012] A further improvement is that: the laying range of the fifth hot melt line located on the inner side of the TPU surface layer is not larger than the laying range of the fourth hot melt line.

[0013] A further improvement is that the U-shaped bottoms of the second heat-fusible lines, the third heat-fusible lines and the fourth heat-fusible lines are respectively formed in wavy line tracks.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] In this case, a first TPU reinforcement layer for limiting the deformation of the upper in the front-to-back direction and a second TPU reinforcement layer for limiting the deformation of the upper in the left-to-right direction are arranged on the TPU surface layer. The first TPU reinforcement layer is used to increase the wrapping support strength in the front-to-back direction, and the second TPU reinforcement layer is used to increase the wrapping support strength in the left-to-right direction. The materials of the TPU surface layer, the first TPU reinforcement layer and the second TPU reinforcement layer are all TPU hot-melt wire, which is hot-pressed at one time by a hot press, reducing the transportation steps of the surface layer and the stacking steps between layers, thereby simplifying the production process.

[0016] The second hot-melt line, the third hot-melt line and the fourth hot-melt line on the second TPU reinforcement layer are laid flat with each other without overlap, and the lines are neat and orderly, which is conducive to the smoothness of the shoe upper.

[0017] A further beneficial effect is: in this case, a third TPU reinforcement layer is provided on the basis of the second TPU reinforcement layer, and the fifth hot melt line is pressed on the second hot melt line, the third hot melt line and the fourth hot melt line, thereby strengthening the connection tightness between the second hot melt line, the third hot melt line and the fourth hot melt line in the front-to-back direction, so that the third TPU reinforcement layer limits the deformation of the second TPU reinforcement layer in the front-to-back direction, and increases the wrapping support force of the second TPU reinforcement layer in the front direction.

[0018] A further beneficial effect is that in this case, the length of the third hot melt line is less than that of the second hot melt line, and the length of the fourth hot melt line is less than that of the third hot melt line, so that the wrapping support strength of the second TPU reinforcement layer decreases in a step-by-step manner from the sole to the middle of the upper, while preventing rollover without affecting the deformation comfort of the middle of the upper.

[0019] A further beneficial effect is that when a foot is sprained, the foot turns outward, therefore, in this case, the laying area of ​​the third TPU reinforcement layer on the inner side of the upper is smaller than the laying area on the outer side of the upper, so as to reduce the use of hot melt line on the inner side.

[0020] A further beneficial effect is that the U-shaped bottoms of the second hot melt line, the third hot melt line and the fourth hot melt line respectively present wavy line trajectories. Compared with the straight line trajectories, the curved trajectories give people a flexible and non-rigid feeling, thereby increasing the overall agility of the shoe upper.
