[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 , further details of this application are given.
[0037] The embodiment of the present application discloses a combined shoe upper.
[0038] A combined shoe upper is used for sewing or hot pressing on the surface of the sole to form a complete shoe body. The combined shoe upper of the present application is arranged in a fan-shaped arc surface to fit the design of the human foot.
[0039] refer to Figure 1As shown, the upper is an arc-shaped surface structure that fits the instep, and includes, from top to bottom, a wear-resistant TPU film layer 1, and the TPU film layer 1 is divided into several pieces, which are spliced together and spaced in the middle to form ventilation holes 11. The TPU layer is the top layer of the upper, and is a plastic material with excellent wear resistance, good elasticity, and good physical properties. The TPU layer is used to provide protection, anti-slip and partial support for the upper, and reduce the collapse of the shoe body after molding. After several pieces of TPU film layers 1 are spliced together, the ventilation holes 11 formed can provide ventilation for the upper, and avoid stuffiness or airtightness that causes sweating on the feet and leads to bacterial growth.
[0040] A breathable mesh layer 2 is provided, and the mesh layer 2 forms a plurality of regular air holes, and the plurality of air holes are distributed along the vent 11 and are connected to the vent 11. The mesh layer 2 is used to enhance the air permeability of the upper. The mesh layer 2 is made of non-woven fabric, and can be sewn to form a plurality of regular air holes using advanced 3D mesh weaving technology, so that after the mesh layer 2 covers the vent 11, the air holes can be used for ventilation and air permeability, thereby reducing the heat accumulation generated by the user's feet during exercise.
[0041] At the same time, the ventilation holes 11 are blocked to prevent dust, debris, etc. from falling into the shoe body through the ventilation holes 11 to affect the comfort of human feet. Regular ventilation holes can also increase the appearance of use.
[0042] The mesh layer 2 is also covered with a decorative strip layer 3, which can be made of long decorative cloth strips. When covering the surface of the mesh layer 2, it covers part of the air holes. While providing decoration, the decorative strip layer 3 also provides a function of blocking some dust, sewage and other impurities from splashing into the air holes.
[0043] The TPU film layer 1 is the topmost layer, and is used to provide wear resistance for the upper. The mesh layer 2 is used as the middle layer, and the mesh layer 2 cooperates with the vents 11 to improve the air permeability of the upper. The trim layer 3 is located on the mesh layer 2, and the edges and corners extend to the TPU film layer 1. The trim layer 3 is used to provide aesthetics while covering some of the air holes to prevent dirt from entering. The three are sewn together to form a complete upper.
[0044] For further reference, Figure 2 As shown, the mesh cloth layer 2 is divided into two layers, namely an edge cloth layer 21 and a breathable cloth layer 22. The edge cloth layer 21 is connected along the outer walls of several TPU film layers 1. After the mesh cloth layer 2 is partially divided into the edge cloth layer 21 and the breathable layer, the edge cloth layer 21 is connected to the TPU film layer 1, which can prevent multiple TPU film layers 1 from loosening and connecting to each other as a whole.
[0045] The breathable fabric layer 22 does not selectively cover the vent 11, but covers along the edge of the side fabric layer 21, covering the entire side fabric layer 21 and the TPU film layer 1, so that the overall mesh fabric layer 2 does not appear abrupt, and the air holes are opened in the breathable fabric layer 22, ensuring that the vent 11 can be completely covered and ventilation can be provided through the air holes.
[0046] Specifically, the mesh cloth layer 2 is fixedly connected to the TPU film layer 1 by the side cloth layer 21 divided into two layers, and the breathable cloth layer 22 is attached to the edge of the side cloth layer 21 and covers the vent 11, so that the air permeability of the vent and the vent 11 is not affected and can also provide shielding for debris.
[0047] Furthermore, the vents 11 are opened in an arc shape along the instep of the human foot, so that when the heat generated by the user's foot accumulates when wearing or exercising, the instep of the human foot can cooperate with the vents 11 to provide stable heat dissipation, thereby improving the comfort of use.
[0048] Further, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing layer 23 is provided on the side of the breathable fabric layer 22 away from the edge fabric layer 21. The reinforcing layer 23 is arranged in contact with the edge of the vent 11. The material of the reinforcing layer 23 is consistent with that of the edge fabric layer 21. Since the vent 11 is opened in an arc shape, only one end of the edge fabric layer 21 on the inner side of the arc is connected, and the other parts are separated by the vent 11, which is easy to be disconnected or damaged during use. Therefore, the reinforcing layer 23 is provided on the side of the breathable fabric layer 22 away from the edge fabric layer 21, so that the breathable fabric layer 22 is located between the reinforcing layer 23 and the edge fabric layer 21, so that the force on the edge fabric layer 21 will be stably transmitted to the breathable fabric layer 22 and the reinforcing layer 23, thereby improving the tear resistance, wear resistance, compression resistance or tensile resistance of the edge fabric layer 21.
[0049] The reinforcing layer 23 may also be made of a high-strength, lightweight composite material, which can ensure that the overall stability of the upper is improved without increasing excessive weight.
[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the decorative strip layer 3 is also provided with a ventilation strip 31. After the decorative strip layer 3 has the ventilation strip 31, the decorative strip layer 3 covers part of the ventilation holes, providing shielding and decorative beauty for part of the ventilation holes. The ventilation strip 31 can be provided in the decorative strip layer 3 to provide partial ventilation, thereby ensuring the air permeability while improving the beauty of the shoe upper.
[0051] Furthermore, the decorative strip layer 3 is also provided with a cortex layer 32, and the cortex layer 32 bypasses the breathable strip 31, so the cortex layer 32 will not affect the breathability of the breathable strip 31. The cortex layer 32 can be made of genuine leather or imitation leather, and the surface can be set with a variety of colors and textures, providing consumers with more personalized choices, making the upper look more comfortable and beautiful.
[0052] Furthermore, an RPU decorative sheet 33 is provided between the decorative strip layer 3 and the cortical layer 32, and a plurality of ventilation holes 331 are provided on the surface of the RPU decorative sheet 33. The RPU decorative sheet 33 can further decorate the upper, while further reducing the exposed ventilation holes on the upper. The RPU decorative sheet 33 is used to cover most of the ventilation holes, but not completely fit, so that the ventilation holes 331 on the RPU decorative sheet 33 can dissipate heat uniformly, and can prevent most of the dirt from entering, thereby further improving the filtering performance.
[0053] Among them, a sliding rod 332 is provided on the edge of the RPU decorative piece 33, and the sliding rod 332 can be made of plastic material. The decorative strip layer 3 can have a sliding opening 35, and the sliding rod 332 can be inserted into the sliding opening 35, and the RPU decorative piece 33 can slide along the ventilation strip opening 31 through the sliding rod 332. The ventilation strip opening 31 is also provided with a plurality of closing strips 36, and the closing strip 36 is larger than the aperture of the vent 331, so that when the RPU decorative piece 33 moves along the sliding opening 35 and the ventilation strip opening 31 through the sliding rod 332, the vent 331 of the RPU decorative piece 33 is located at the closing strip 36, thereby reducing the wind permeability and air permeability. In cold weather such as winter, the RPU decorative piece 33 can be switched to a position where the closing strip 36 is below the vent 331 to prevent cold wind from entering the vent 331. In hot weather, the RPU decorative piece 33 can be switched to a position where the vent 331 and the closing strip 36 are staggered to ensure air permeability.
[0054] Among them, the RPU decorative piece 33 is also provided with a first fitting part 333, and the second fitting part 37 is also provided on both sides of the breathable strip 31 of the decorative strip layer 3. The first fitting part 333 and the second fitting part 37 can be Velcro. The first fitting part 333 can be a wool layer Velcro, and the second fitting part 37 can be a hook layer Velcro. When the RPU decorative piece 33 moves along the breathable strip 31, the first fitting part 333 and the second fitting part 37 can be fitted with each other to fix the position of the RPU decorative piece 33, thereby avoiding the position of the RPU decorative piece 33 changing during walking, which causes the position of the vent 331 and the closing strip 36 to change.
[0055] The first fitting portion 333 and the second fitting portion 37 may also adopt a pull rope and a rope hole, or a combination of a permanent magnet block and a magnetic attraction sheet to achieve this effect.
[0056] Furthermore, a reinforcing sheet 34 is provided on one side of the decorative strip layer 3 that is in contact with the mesh layer 2 . The reinforcing sheet 34 may be made of high-performance materials such as carbon fiber or glass fiber, which can further enhance the toughness and durability of the decorative strip layer 3 .
[0057] The embodiments of this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. The same components are represented by the same figure marks. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
