Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoe materials, in particular to a drainage and breathable sole and shoe. Background Art
[0002] A slipper is a type of shoe generally used for indoor wear and without a shoe upper at the back half. Its materials usually include leather, plastic, and fabric. Among them, plastic slippers are more favored by consumers because they have a waterproof function and can be used in multiple scenarios of daily life such as bathing and at home.
[0003] Problems often existing in plastic slippers are: poor air permeability during daily use. If the user takes a bath, water is likely to accumulate at the contact position between the sole of the foot and the surface of the sole. The skin of the sole of the foot will turn white and swell due to being soaked in water for a long time, and bacteria will breed. The slippers are prone to emitting an odor and getting moldy, which affects the service life of the slippers.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN213604758U discloses an antibacterial slipper. By setting a relatively low rear sole and a front sole, and cooperating with a relatively high middle sole, it fits the arch of the foot better, improves the wearing comfort, and has excellent shock absorption effect during daily walking. The surface of the slipper sole is inlaid with first drainage grooves and second drainage grooves which are arranged at intervals in sequence, with different lengths and arranged in a staggered manner. Cooperating with the ventilation holes provided on the slipper surface, it not only ensures the daily ventilation requirements, and the air can circulate under the sole of the foot through daily walking; at the same time, when the slipper surface is wet, it is convenient for water droplets to be quickly diverted to the periphery of the slipper sole surface and discharged from the slipper surface during the user's walking process, so that the water remaining on the sole of the foot can be discharged in time, ensuring the dryness of the contact surface of the sole of the foot. Cooperating with the antibacterial property of the material itself, bacteria are not easy to breed, achieving the effects of antibacterial, anti-mildew, and anti-odor.
[0005] In the above technical solution, although drainage grooves are provided on the sole, in the actual use process, when the upper surface of the shoe gets wet, relying solely on the above drainage grooves to drain the water to the outer side of the shoe upper, it is easy to have water accumulation in the outer end area of the shoe upper and cannot be drained and dried in a timely and efficient manner. And there is another type of slipper on the market, which evenly arranges a plurality of longitudinal small through holes on the shoe upper, so that the water on the shoe upper can directly flow down to the sole and drain away. However, if this structure steps on a wet floor, the water will backflow from the through hole from bottom to top to the shoe upper, easily causing the sewage on the floor to dirty the sole of the foot. In addition, due to the surface tension of water itself, the through hole is easy to be blocked after water enters, and the water in the through hole will remain for a period of time, and actually cannot achieve the effect of rapid drainage. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a drainage and breathable sole and shoe, which helps to solve the problem that some existing slippers cannot quickly drain and dry the accumulated water on the shoe surface and keep it breathable and dry after getting wet.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the flange is a plurality of dot-shaped, block-shaped and / or linear raised structures distributed at intervals.
[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the flange is distributed in the entire area of the wearing surface.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the height of the flange near the drainage groove area is higher than the height of the flange in the remaining areas.
[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the drainage groove is of a bifurcated structure.
[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the inner and outer sides of the drainage hole are a drainage inlet and a drainage outlet respectively, the drainage inlet is located on the wearing surface and is connected to the drainage groove, and the drainage outlet is located on the outer side wall of the main body.
[0014] Based on the above technical solution, an expansion groove is provided at the drainage inlet.
[0015] A shoe, including the sole described in any one of the above, a shoe upper is provided on the top of the sole.
[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the shoe upper and the sole are of an integral structure or a separable structure.
[0017] Based on the above technical solution, exhaust holes are provided on the shoe upper.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following advantages:
[0019] The utility model realizes the better drainage and ventilation effects of the sole and the shoe by setting drainage grooves on the wearing surface of the sole, using the diversion structure with the middle part of the bottom of the drainage groove being higher than the outer side, and setting the water outlet of the drainage groove on the outer side wall of the main body, so that the accumulated water on the wearing surface can be quickly drained out through the drainage grooves. Moreover, by using the flange to form a raised structure, when wearing, the sole of the foot does not completely seal the whole drainage groove, enabling the drainage groove to be in an internal and external communication state, so that drainage can be stably carried out, achieving the effect of quickly draining and drying. When there is no accumulated water on the wearing surface, the drainage groove can play a ventilation role. Description of the Drawings

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following detailed description is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixedly provided on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to an element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation manners.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a drainage and breathable sole, specifically a sole applied to a slipper product. The sole includes a main body 1, and a wearing surface 2 is provided on the top of the main body 1. The wearing surface 2 is a concave planar structure, so that the wearing surface 2 can be used to support the wearer's sole. That is to say, when wearing, the sole steps on the wearing surface 2.
[0031] Among them, a drainage groove 3 is provided on the wearing surface 2 in this embodiment. The drainage groove 3 is oriented front and back and has a bifurcated structure, covering the front sole part and the rear root area of the main body 1. Specifically, from a top view angle, the drainage groove 3 is a sunken groove structure composed of two V-shaped grooves with openings facing forward and one V-shaped groove with an opening facing backward. At the same time, the drainage groove 3 is connected to the middle area and the outer area in the transverse direction of the wearing surface 2, which enables the drainage groove 3 to drain the accumulated water in each area of the wearing surface 2.
[0032] A drainage hole is provided at the outer end of the drainage groove 3. The outer end of the drainage hole is located on the outer wall of the main body 1. The bottom of the drainage groove 3 between the middle area and the outer area of the wearing surface 2 is a downward-sloping structure, which helps the accumulated water to quickly drain out along the bottom of the drainage groove 3. Specifically, the inner and outer sides of the drainage hole are a drainage inlet 4 and a drainage outlet 5 respectively. The drainage inlet 4 is located on the wearing surface 2 and is connected to the drainage groove 3, and the drainage outlet 5 is located on the outer wall of the main body 1. This structure sets the water outlet on the outer wall of the main body 1, which can avoid the situation that the pore diameter is easily blocked like the traditional water outlet is set at the bottom, so that the drainage hole can be kept clear for a long time and has an immediate drainage effect.
[0033] In this embodiment, the drainage inlet 4 is a circular hole structure, and the area of the circular hole is larger than the width of the drainage groove 3, which is conducive to quick drainage and avoiding the lower drainage hole from being blocked and closed when stepped on. In other embodiments, an expansion groove 8 may also be provided at the drainage inlet 4, refer to Figure 6 , to further increase the area of the drainage inlet 4.
[0034] Furthermore, a flange 6 is also provided on the wearing surface 2. The flange 6 is located in the area of the drainage groove 3 to form a raised structure. The flange 6 in this embodiment is a plurality of evenly spaced circular dot-like raised structures distributed on the wearing surface 2.
[0035] In other embodiments, the flange 6 can also adopt a block-shaped and / or linear raised structure with dry intervals.
[0036] It should be noted that the flange 6 in this embodiment is evenly distributed, but the structure of the flange 6 in each area is different. Specifically, the height of the flange 6 in the area adjacent to the drainage groove 3 is higher than that of the flange 6 in the other areas. This enables, after wearing and stepping on the sole, the gap between the sole and the wearing surface 2 in the area adjacent to the drainage groove 3 to be maintained within a suitable range, avoiding the top opening of the drainage groove 3 being blocked due to excessive fitting, thus preventing drainage operation.
[0037] In the specific implementation process, combined with Figure 1 , if there is accumulated water in each area of the wearing surface 2, the accumulated water will flow into the nearby drainage groove 3. Combined with Figure 3 , since the bottom structure of the drainage groove 3 is higher on the inner side and lower on the outer side, the water can be quickly drained, keeping the wearing surface 2 dry and breathable.
[0038] Embodiment 2:
[0039] A shoe, which includes the sole in Embodiment 1. Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a shoe upper 7 is provided on the top of the sole, and the shoe upper 7 and the main body 1 are of an integral structure.
[0040] In other embodiments, the shoe upper 7 and the sole can also be connected by a separable structure, specifically such as plugging, gluing, hot pressing and compounding, etc.
[0041] Embodiment 3:
[0042] Based on Embodiment 2, as shown in Figure 6 , an expansion groove 8 is provided at the drainage inlet 4 in this embodiment. The expansion groove 8 increases the area of the drainage inlet 4. This enables, after wearing and stepping on the sole, the drainage inlet 4, in cooperation with the structural design of the flange 6 in this area, the drainage holes will not be easily blocked and closed, and can stably maintain a permeable state, facilitating drainage and ventilation.
[0043] In other embodiments, the shoe upper 7 is provided with exhaust holes, which helps to improve the wearing breathability.
[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
