Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sports shoes, and particularly relates to a sole and a sports shoe. Background Art

[0002] Sports shoes are usually composed of parts such as a sole, a vamp, and shoelaces (or zippers, Velcro, etc.). Their main function is to protect the feet and make people move more easily and freely during walking, running, or other activities. With the development of society, the design trend of sports shoes is increasingly inclined to improve the wearing experience and convenience of the wearer.

[0003] In order to meet consumers' high pursuit of breathability and lightweight, manufacturers continuously adopt innovative materials and technologies to create the vamp structure, such as using mesh fabrics, microporous leather, and highly elastic breathable membranes. These materials effectively promote air circulation inside the shoes, reduce the accumulation of heat and moisture generated by the feet during exercise, and thus significantly improve the wearing comfort. However, at the same time, when it rains or when walking on a waterlogged road surface, the high breathability of the vamp is also likely to allow rainwater or accumulated water to penetrate into the shoes, affecting the comfort of the wearer.

[0027] As used in this specification, the phrase "in one embodiment" or "example" or "instance" means that the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment itself may be included in at least one embodiment of the present patent disclosure. The appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" at various positions in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a sole, which includes an outsole. The outsole includes a first surface 1, a second surface 2 disposed opposite to the first surface 1, and a third surface 3 connected between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2. An annular liquid collecting groove 11 is formed on the first surface 1, and a liquid collecting hole 12 communicating with the annular liquid collecting groove 11 is formed on the outsole. The first end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is formed on the bottom wall of the annular liquid collecting groove 11, and the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is formed on the second surface 2. The distance between the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 and the second surface 2 is less than the distance between the bottom wall of the annular liquid collecting groove 11 and the second surface 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, a sole is provided, which is applicable to various types of shoes such as leather shoes and sports shoes. The sole at least includes an outsole. The outsole includes a first surface 1 (the top surface of the outsole) and a second surface 2 (the bottom surface of the outsole) disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 1 faces the user's sole, and the second surface 2 is used to directly contact the ground when walking. It should be noted that the second surface 2 refers to a horizontal plane that directly contacts the ground when the outsole is placed flat on the ground, and does not necessarily refer to the entire outer surface of the outsole close to the ground (the entire outer surface of the outsole close to the ground is not necessarily constructed as a plane). In addition, at least one liquid collecting hole 12 is formed on the outsole, and at least one annular liquid collecting groove 11 for collecting the liquid flowing through the first surface 1 is formed on the first surface 1. The liquid collecting hole 12 communicates with the annular liquid collecting groove 11. The first end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is formed on the bottom wall of the annular liquid collecting groove 11, and the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is formed on the second surface 2. The distance between the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 and the second surface 2 is less than the distance between the bottom wall of the annular liquid collecting groove 11 and the second surface 2. That is, when the shoe is worn (the second surface 2 is placed on the ground), the liquid collecting hole 12 is closer to the ground than the annular liquid collecting groove 11. Under the action of gravity, the liquid in the annular liquid collecting groove 11 flows into the liquid collecting hole 12. Preferably, the annular liquid collecting groove 11 is arranged around the center of the sole to facilitate collecting more accumulated water on the sole. The outsole further includes a third surface 3 (the side surface of the outsole) connected between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2. The second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is formed on the third surface 3. Then, the liquid on the first surface 1 (the top surface) of the outsole enters the first end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 from the annular liquid collecting groove 11 and then flows out from the second end opening (on the third surface 3) of the liquid collecting hole 12. In the related art, the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is generally arranged on the bottom surface of the outsole, which easily causes the accumulated water on the ground to be sucked back into the outsole, affecting the drainage effect.

[0031] In summary, in this embodiment, an annular liquid collecting groove 11 and a liquid collecting hole 12 that communicate with each other are provided on the outsole. The liquid collecting hole 12 communicates with the annular liquid collecting groove 11, and a height difference is formed between the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 and the annular liquid collecting groove 11, so that the liquid in the annular liquid collecting groove 11 can flow into the liquid collecting hole 12 by means of the height difference. The first end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 is also communicated with the second end opening of the liquid collecting hole 12 provided on the third surface 3 to facilitate the discharge of the liquid through the liquid collecting hole 12 from the outsole, forming an efficient drainage structure and improving the comfort of the shoes.

[0032] By setting the aforementioned drainage structure, the accumulation of water on the sole can be reduced, the risk of slipping when walking on rainy days or wet ground can be significantly reduced, and the wearing safety can be improved; it can also avoid the discomfort caused by wearing wet shoes for a long time and enhance the wearing experience; the sole structure is reasonably designed, without complex processing, easy to implement, and conducive to reducing production costs.

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, a plurality of bosses 13 protruding in a direction away from the second surface 2 are distributed on the first surface 1, and the gaps between the plurality of adjacent bosses 13 constitute a liquid guiding channel 14 communicating with the annular liquid collecting groove 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the gap between adjacent bosses 13 naturally forms the liquid guiding channel 14, and the liquid guiding channel 14 communicates with the annular liquid collecting groove 11, providing more flow paths for the accumulated water. When the sole contacts the ground and water accumulates, the accumulated water can quickly flow through the liquid guiding channel 14 to the annular liquid collecting groove 11, and then be discharged through the liquid collecting hole 12. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a gap is formed between any two adjacent bosses 13, and the gaps between any two adjacent bosses 13 communicate with the gaps between any other two adjacent bosses 13, and the plurality of gaps together constitute the liquid guiding channel 14. In other embodiments, gaps may also be formed between some adjacent bosses 13.

[0035] The cross-section of the boss 13 is hexagonal.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the boss 13 is hexagonal, that is, a structure similar to a honeycomb is formed. This structure can guide the liquid to flow along the liquid guiding channel 14. In addition, the honeycomb structure enables the shoes to quickly respond and absorb impact energy when landing, reducing the impact on the feet, enhancing the comfort during running or exercise, and reducing fatigue. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the boss 13 can also be circular, rectangular, etc.

[0037] The caliber of the liquid collecting hole 12 is larger than the caliber of the liquid collecting hole 12.

[0038] In this embodiment, the diameter of the opening at the first end of the liquid collecting hole 12 is larger than that of the opening at the second end of the liquid collecting hole 12. The liquid collecting hole 12 serves as the entrance for collecting moisture. Its larger diameter can more effectively capture and accumulate the moisture inside the shoe. The smaller diameter of the liquid collecting hole 12 is beneficial for forming a certain pressure difference during the drainage process, making the liquid drain more smoothly. When a person moves, due to the action of gravity, the moisture inside the shoe can more easily flow towards the liquid collecting hole 12 and be discharged, improving the drainage efficiency and convenience. At the same time, the smaller liquid collecting hole 12 can also reduce the possibility of impurities such as dust and sand entering the shoe, keeping the interior clean and hygienic.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the annular liquid guiding groove is 3 mm, the side length of the hexagonal convex platform 13 is 5.8 mm, the width of the liquid guiding channel 14 is 1.5 mm and the depth is 1.5 mm, and the height difference between the liquid collecting hole 12 and the liquid collecting groove is 5 mm. Of course, in other embodiments, the sizes of each structure of the shoe sole can also be other values.

[0040] The distance from the opening at the second end of the liquid collecting hole 12 to the second surface 2 is at least 20 mm.

[0041] In this embodiment, the distance from the opening at the second end of the liquid collecting hole 12 to the second surface 2 is at least 20 mm, that is, the distance from the opening at the second end of the liquid collecting hole 12 to the ground during walking is at least 20 mm, so as to prevent external moisture, sediment and other impurities from entering the shoe reversely through the liquid collecting hole 12, and keep the inside of the shoe dry and clean.

[0042] In other embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, at least one drainage groove 15 communicating with the annular liquid collecting groove 11 is provided in the annular area enclosed by the annular liquid collecting groove 11, and the opening direction of the drainage groove 15 intersects with the third surface 3.

[0043] The annular liquid collecting groove 11 encloses an annular area. At least one drainage groove 15 communicating with the annular liquid collecting groove 11 is provided in this annular area, and the opening direction of the drainage groove 15 intersects with the third surface 3, that is, the drainage groove 15 is transversely opened. The liquid in the annular area is collected into the liquid collecting groove through the drainage groove 15 and finally discharged out of the shoe through the liquid collecting hole 12. In another embodiment, the drainage groove 15 can also be longitudinally opened.

[0044] As Figure 4 shown, 6 drainage grooves 15 are arranged and 3 liquid collecting holes 12 are arranged.

[0045] Specifically, six drainage grooves 15 are arranged along the length direction of the first surface 1, that is, multiple paths are provided on the first surface 1 to guide the liquid to the liquid collection area. Additionally, the drainage grooves 15 can be evenly distributed at various key positions of the sole, such as the front part, middle part, and heel area of the sole, to ensure that no matter from which direction the liquid penetrates into the sole, it can be quickly and effectively drained. Three liquid collection holes 12 can be dispersed at different positions of the sole to collect the moisture from different drainage grooves 15.

[0046] The distance from the drainage groove 15 to the second surface 2 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the liquid collection hole 12.

[0047] The distance from the drainage groove 15 to the second surface 2 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the liquid collection hole 12, that is, one end of the drainage groove 15 close to the liquid collection hole 12 is inclined towards the liquid collection hole 12, so as to facilitate the liquid to flow into the liquid collection hole 12 under the action of gravity.

[0048] The sole further includes an insole stacked with the outsole, the insole is attached to the first surface 1, and the insole is provided with liquid permeable holes corresponding to the positions of the liquid collection holes 12.

[0049] In this embodiment, the liquid permeable holes correspond to the positions of the liquid collection holes 12, so that the moisture accumulated in the shoe can smoothly pass through the insole, enter the liquid collection tank and finally be discharged, enhancing the drainage performance of the shoe and being able to keep the inside of the shoe dry and comfortable. In addition to the drainage function, the liquid permeable holes also contribute to the ventilation and breathability inside the shoe. During wearing, the feet are prone to sweating, and the liquid permeable holes can accelerate the discharge of moisture inside the shoe, reduce the growth of bacteria, and keep the feet healthy.

[0050] The first surface 1 is configured as a foot sole profiling surface, and the shape of the annular liquid collection tank 11 is the same as that of the first surface 1.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first surface 1 (i.e., the top surface of the sole) of the sole is designed as a foot sole profiling surface to fit the wearer's foot sole, provide support and comfort, reduce the sliding and friction of the feet inside the shoe, and reduce the fatigue caused by long-term wearing. When the shape of the annular liquid collection tank 11 is the same as that of the first surface 1 (foot sole profiling surface), it can better cover and collect the liquid, ensuring that no matter from which direction the liquid penetrates into the sole, it can be quickly guided to the liquid collection tank and finally discharged.

[0052] This embodiment further provides a sports shoe, including a sole and a shoe upper joined to the sole, and the sole includes the aforementioned sole.

[0053] The shoe upper is joined to the sole through various processes such as stitching, bonding, or injection molding, ensuring the overall structural stability of the shoe and being convenient for wearing and taking off.

[0054] The above are only the specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
