Specific embodiments

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-4 drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In the embodiments of the present utility model, a TPU embroidered shoe surface includes a TPU embroidered shoe surface, which is composed of a shoe surface layer 1 and a base layer 15. A ventilation net 6 is fixedly connected to the front side of the shoe surface layer 1. A plurality of second ventilation holes 12 penetrate through the ventilation net 6. The decorative side 13 is fixedly connected to both sides of the shoe surface layer 1 relative to the ventilation net 6. A plurality of decorative plate bodies 3 arranged vertically are fixedly connected to the decorative side 13. A plurality of first ventilation holes 5 penetrate through the decorative side 13 at intervals of the decorative plate bodies 3. A connecting layer 7 is connected to the shoe surface layer 1 between the ventilation net 6 and the decorative side 13. A TPU shoelace plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the decorative side 13. A plurality of shoelace holes 8 penetrate through the TPU shoelace plate 2.

[0025] Specifically, the TPU embroidered shoe upper uses other materials as the base, and then TPU yarns or TPU sheets are embroidered on the surface of the base. The base material may be ordinary fabric materials such as cotton and polyester fiber. These materials can provide the basic shape and support for the shoe upper, and at the same time have certain flexibility and comfort. Conducting TPU embroidery on the base can increase the decoration, abrasion resistance and three-dimensional sense of the shoe upper; at the same time, the setting of the breathable mesh 6 is to enhance the breathable performance of the front part of the shoe upper. Air can be exchanged inside and outside through the second ventilation holes 12, which helps to keep the feet dry and comfortable, reduce the feeling of stuffiness and odor generation. Especially when the feet get hot and sweaty during exercise, the breathable mesh 6 can play an important role. The decorative sides 13 are located on both sides of the shoe upper layer 1. On the one hand, they play a decorative role through the decorative plates 3, which can make the appearance of the shoe upper more distinctive and beautiful, meeting the consumers' pursuit of fashion; on the other hand, the vertical arrangement of the decorative plates 3 can also enhance the lateral support of the shoe upper to a certain extent, improving the overall stability of the shoes. The first ventilation holes 5 also help air to circulate on both sides of the shoe upper, further enhancing the ventilation effect. The connecting layer 7 connects the part of the shoe upper layer 1 between the breathable mesh 6 and the decorative sides 13, playing a role of transition and connection, enhancing the integrity and structural strength between different parts of the shoe upper, and preventing problems such as delamination and tearing during wearing or exercise.

[0026] It should be noted that the shoe upper layer 1 is made of TPU material combined with fabric, etc. TPU can provide characteristics such as abrasion resistance and elasticity, and the fabric can increase comfort and breathability. The base layer 15 can be selected from materials with certain hardness and support, such as rubber sheets, etc. The breathable mesh 6 can be made of wear-resistant and breathable materials such as nylon. The decorative plates 3 can be made of plastic, leather or TPU, etc. to achieve different decorative effects and performances. In terms of the connection process, the fixed connection methods of the breathable mesh 6, the decorative sides 13 and the shoe upper layer 1 can adopt methods such as sewing, hot pressing or bonding. Different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, sewing is relatively firm but may affect the appearance. Hot pressing has high efficiency and a flat appearance but has high requirements for equipment and materials. The processing of the shoelace holes 8 should ensure smooth edges to avoid wearing the shoelaces. Punching and other processes can be used and post-treatment can be carried out. The size, shape and distribution of multiple ventilation holes can be further optimized. For example, ventilation holes with different aperture combinations can be adopted. The second ventilation holes 12 adopt smaller holes to prevent foreign objects from entering, and the first ventilation holes 5 on the sides adopt larger holes to increase the ventilation volume. The shape, color and texture and other design elements of the decorative plates 3 can be designed diversely according to different target audiences and fashion trends to meet personalized needs. The pattern or texture of the connecting layer 7 can also echo the overall design, enhancing the overall beauty of the shoe upper.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, when the shoe upper layer 1 is embroidered electrically, a fiber material layer 16 is mixed inside. Specifically, high-strength fiber materials, such as Kevlar fibers, etc., can be blended or interwoven with TPU yarns and then embroidered electrically. In this way, on the basis of maintaining the original characteristics of TPU, the tensile strength and tear resistance of the shoe upper can be greatly improved, making the shoe upper more durable and suitable for scenarios with relatively high exercise intensity, such as shoes for basketball, football and other sports.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, there is a silver ion antibacterial agent inside the shoe upper layer 1 when it is embroidered electrically. Specifically, antibacterial agents such as silver ions are added to the TPU material, or fibers with antibacterial functions are directly used in combination with TPU. This can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on the shoe upper, keep the feet healthy and hygienic, and reduce foot diseases caused by bacterial infections, which is very important for people who often sweat or need to wear shoes for a long time.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, a coating 14 is sprayed on the surface of the shoe upper layer 1. Specifically, a special coating 14, such as a waterproof coating 14, a stain-proof coating 14 or a scratch-resistant coating 14, etc., is added to the shoe upper after the electrical embroidery is completed. The waterproof coating 14 can endow the shoe upper with good waterproof performance, avoiding the shoes from being soaked when encountering water or a humid environment; the stain-proof coating 14 can prevent stains from adhering to the shoe upper, making the shoes easier to clean; the scratch-resistant coating 14 can improve the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the shoe upper and extend the service life of the shoes.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, a stabilizing layer 10 is fixedly connected to the decorative side 13 at the ankle. A third ventilation hole 11 is provided through the stabilizing layer 10. Specifically, the stabilizing layer 10 at the ankle of the decorative side 13 plays a role in enhancing the stability and protection at the ankle. The third ventilation hole 11 ensures that this part also has a certain ventilation performance, avoiding excessive sultriness at the ankle and also contributing to the overall air circulation. It should be noted that the material selection of the stabilizing layer 10 is very important. For example, materials with elasticity and certain supporting force are selected, which can not only ensure comfort but also play a stabilizing role. The distribution, size, etc. of the third ventilation holes 11 will also affect the balance of ventilation and stabilizing effects.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, a shoe tongue 9 is fixedly connected to the shoe upper layer 1 of the two decorative sides 13.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a reflective strip 4 is fixedly connected to the decorative plate body 3. Specifically, the reflective strip 4 on the decorative plate body 3 can improve the visibility of the shoes and enhance safety in a dimly lit environment, especially when walking or exercising at night. The reflective effect of the reflective strip 4 depends on its material and process.

[0033] Working principle: The TPU embroidered shoe upper uses other materials as the base, and then TPU yarns or TPU sheets are embroidered on the surface of the base. The base material may be ordinary fabric materials such as cotton and polyester fiber. These materials can provide the basic shape and support for the shoe upper, and at the same time have certain flexibility and comfort. Embroidering TPU on the base can increase the decoration, wear resistance and three-dimensional sense of the shoe upper; at the same time, the setting of the breathable mesh 6 is to enhance the breathability of the front part of the shoe upper. Air can be exchanged inside and outside through the second ventilation holes 12, which helps to keep the feet dry and comfortable, reduce the feeling of stuffiness and odor. Especially when the feet heat up and sweat during exercise, the breathable mesh 6 can play an important role. The decorative side 13 is located on both sides of the shoe upper layer 1. On the one hand, it plays a decorative role through the decorative plate body 3, which can make the appearance of the shoe upper more distinctive and beautiful, meeting the consumer's pursuit of fashion; on the other hand, the vertical arrangement of the decorative plate body 3 can also enhance the lateral support of the shoe upper to a certain extent, improving the overall stability of the shoes. The first ventilation holes 5 also help air to circulate on both sides of the shoe upper, further enhancing the ventilation effect. The connecting layer 7 connects the part of the shoe upper layer 1 between the breathable mesh 6 and the decorative side 13, playing a role of transition and connection, enhancing the integrity and structural strength between different parts of the shoe upper, and preventing problems such as delamination and tearing during wearing or exercise.
