[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides a shoe sole with a drainage function, including a sole body. A ring groove adapted to its contour is provided at the upper edge of the sole body. A plurality of vertical holes are provided at the bottom of the ring groove. The inner diameter of the top end of the vertical hole is smaller than that of the bottom end. Drainage holes corresponding to and communicating with the vertical holes one by one are provided on the side wall of the sole body. A diversion plug is detachably installed in the drainage hole. A through diversion hole is provided in the middle of the diversion plug. A blocking floating ball is movably arranged in the vertical hole. The ball diameter of the blocking floating ball is larger than the inner diameter of the top end of the vertical hole and the inner diameter of the diversion hole, and the ball diameter of the blocking floating ball is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom end of the vertical hole and the inner diameter of the drainage hole.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical hole is a tapered hole, and the inner diameter of the top end of the vertical hole is smaller than that of the bottom end.

[0007] Preferably, the diversion hole is inclined, and the upper inclined end of the diversion hole communicates with the bottom of the vertical hole.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a sole with a drainage function, including a sole body 1. An annular groove 2 adapted to its contour is provided at the upper edge of the sole body 1. A plurality of vertical holes 3 are provided at the bottom of the annular groove 2. The inner diameter of the top end of the vertical hole 3 is smaller than that of its bottom end. Specifically, the vertical hole 3 is a tapered hole. In other embodiments, the vertical hole 3 can also be set as a stepped hole; a drain hole 4 corresponding to and communicating with the vertical hole 3 is provided on the side wall of the sole body 1. A diversion plug 5 is detachably installed in the drain hole 4. A through diversion hole 6 is provided in the middle of the diversion plug 5. A blocking floating ball 7 is movably provided in the vertical hole 3. The ball diameter of the blocking floating ball 7 is larger than the inner diameter of the top end of the vertical hole 3 and the inner diameter of the diversion hole 6, and the ball diameter of the blocking floating ball 7 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom end of the vertical hole 3 and the inner diameter of the drain hole 4.

[0020] When the drainage hole 4 is not equipped with the flow guide plug 5, the flow-blocking float 7 is placed into the vertical hole 3 through the drainage hole 4, and then the flow guide plug 5 is installed; when debris enters the vertical hole 3, the flow guide plug 5 can be pulled out, and the flow-blocking float 7 and the debris in the vertical hole 3 can be discharged from the drainage hole 4 by jetting, spraying water or moving a lever;

[0021] After the upper is installed on the sole body 1, the shoe is made. When water accumulates inside the shoe, the accumulated water enters the vertical hole 3 through the annular groove 2 and is then discharged through the guide hole 6 to maintain the comfort inside the shoe. When wading in shallow water, the external water flows back into the vertical hole 3 through the guide hole 6. The blocking float 7 is made of plastic and can float on the water. The blocking float 7 is subjected to the thrust and buoyancy of the water and rises in the vertical hole 3 until it blocks the upper part of the vertical hole 3, thereby preventing the water from flowing back into the shoe and preventing the backflow. Moreover, the guide hole 6 and the vertical hole 3 are arranged in an L shape, thereby preventing foreign debris from entering the shoe, making the shoe safer and more comfortable to wear.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the drainage effect of the guide hole 6 and avoid water accumulation in the guide hole 6, please refer to Figure 2 The drainage hole 4 is arranged at an angle, the upper end of the guide hole 6 is connected with the bottom of the vertical hole 3, the guide plug 5 is a rotating body structure, and after the guide plug 5 is installed to the drainage hole 4, the guide hole and the drainage hole 4 remain roughly coaxial, and the water in the vertical hole 3 can be naturally discharged from the guide hole 6 under gravity.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the detachable connection between the guide plug 5 and the drain hole 4, an elastic interference fit is provided between the guide plug 5 and the drain hole 4. The guide plug 5 is made of rubber and has a certain elasticity, so that it can be inserted into the drain hole 4 by elastic interference fit. The guide plug 5 will not be easily separated from the drain hole 4, and a large force can be applied to pull the guide plug 5 out of the drain hole 4.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the drainage of the water on the upper end surface of the sole body 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a transverse water guide groove 8 and a longitudinal water guide groove 9 are arranged on the sole body 1 and located inside the annular groove 2, and both the transverse water guide groove 8 and the longitudinal water guide groove 9 are connected to the annular groove 2. The accumulated water on the upper end surface of the sole body 1 due to sweating or water ingress will enter the transverse water guide groove 8 and the longitudinal water guide groove 9, and then enter the annular groove 2, and then be discharged from the vertical hole 3 and the diversion port; by arranging the transverse water guide groove 8, the longitudinal water guide groove 9, the annular groove 2, the vertical hole 3 and the diversion hole 6, the ventilation of the sole body 1 can be achieved, and the wearing comfort can be improved.

[0025] To further improve the drainage efficiency of the transverse water channel 8, refer to 2, the transverse water channel 8 is set to have a structure with a high middle and low ends.
