Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Shoes are essential in everyday life. The breathability of shoes directly impacts wearing comfort. Good breathability keeps the inside of shoes dry, reduces bacterial growth, and prevents foot odor. It also makes the foot more comfortable while wearing, avoiding discomfort caused by heat and humidity.

[0003] Existing breathable soles mainly achieve ventilation by providing through holes running through the upper and lower sides of the sole. These through holes can directly connect the inside and outside of the shoe, allowing air to flow freely between the inside of the shoe and the outside environment, thereby achieving good ventilation effect.

[0004] However, this design has significant drawbacks. The soles are prone to deformation and collapse at the locations of the through-holes. This is because the through-holes weaken the sole's structural strength. When people walk or engage in other activities in the shoes, the soles are subjected to body pressure and ground reaction forces. Under these forces, the sole material around the through-holes is prone to deformation and may even collapse after long-term use.

[0005] This deformation and collapse not only affects the appearance of the shoe but, more importantly, reduces its comfort and stability. A deformed sole may not provide adequate support for the foot, leading to fatigue and pain. Furthermore, a collapsed sole may also affect the overall performance of the shoe, such as its slip resistance and shock absorption.

[0006] Given the aforementioned issues with existing breathable sole technology, it is necessary to improve it and provide a new breathable sole and shoe that not only has good breathability but also prevents deformation and collapse of the sole. This will not only meet people's demand for comfort in footwear products, but also improve the quality and service life of shoes, which is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the problems pointed out in the background technology, the present invention provides a breathable sole and shoes to solve the above technical problems.

[0008] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0009] A breathable sole comprises a sole body, wherein the sole body is provided with through holes penetrating the upper and lower sides thereof, a shaping block is connected in the through holes, and the shaping block is provided with breathable holes penetrating the upper and lower sides thereof, the shaping block is made of hard plastic, and the hardness of the shaping block is greater than the hardness of the sole body.

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that a fabric layer is fixedly provided on the upper side of the sole body, the fabric layer is provided with openings corresponding to the ventilation holes, and a mesh fabric layer is provided on the upper side of the fabric layer.

[0011] The utility model is further configured such that the ventilation holes are in the shape of long strips, the ventilation holes are arranged along the front-to-back direction, and the width of the ventilation holes gradually decreases from the front to the back.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the sole body is made of rubber material or foam material.

[0018] A breathable shoe comprises a sole and an upper, wherein the sole is the above-mentioned breathable sole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0020] By providing through-holes in the sole and using shaping blocks, we address the issue of deformation and collapse at the through-holes while ensuring good ventilation. The shaping blocks, being harder than the sole itself, effectively provide structural support and reinforcement at the through-holes, ensuring the sole's stability and durability.

[0021] The fabric layer on the upper side of the sole body acts as a covering, increasing the sole's softness and protection. The mesh layer prevents debris from entering the shoe through the ventilation holes, keeping the shoe clean and improving wearing comfort.

[0022] The front and rear connecting strips at the lower ends of the shaping blocks are combined with the connecting grooves on the lower side of the sole body, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the bottom surface of the sole body and the firmness of the connection between the shaping blocks and the sole body, thereby improving the stability and durability of the shoes.

[0023] The ventilation grooves on the undersides of the shaping blocks, front and rear connecting strips, and the notches on the outer wall connect to the ventilation holes, improving air flow and preventing the ground from blocking the ventilation holes when the sole contacts the ground, ensuring that the shoes always have good ventilation. These breathable shoes offer a comfortable wearing experience for both sports and daily life, and have broad market application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Reference as follows Figure 1-4 The utility model is described as follows:

[0031] Embodiment: A breathable sole comprises a sole body 1, wherein the sole body 1 is made of rubber material or foam material.

[0032] The middle of the sole body 1 is provided with a through hole 2 extending through its upper and lower sides. The function of this through hole is to connect the inside and outside of the shoe, allowing air to circulate freely between the inside of the shoe and the external environment, thereby achieving ventilation. However, the presence of the through hole also brings some problems. Because the through hole penetrates the sole body, it weakens the structural strength of the sole. During wear, the sole is subjected to pressure from the human body and the reaction force of the ground. The sole material around the through hole is easily deformed and may even collapse after long-term use.

[0033] A shaping block 3 is connected in the through hole 2. The shaping block 3 is made of hard plastic, and the hardness of the shaping block 3 is greater than the hardness of the sole body 1. The shaping block 3 is provided with ventilation holes 4 running through the upper and lower sides thereof.

[0034] To address the issues caused by the through hole, a shaping block 3 is connected to the through hole 2. The shaping block 3 is made of a hard plastic material that is harder than the sole body 1. Hard plastic has high strength and rigidity, and can withstand significant pressure without deforming. The shaping block 3 is also provided with ventilation holes 4 running through its upper and lower sides. The ventilation holes 4 connect the upper and lower sides of the sole body 1, providing ventilation. Furthermore, the shaping block is harder than the sole body, providing structural support and reinforcement to the sole body at the location of the through hole. During wear, the shaping block can withstand pressure from the human body and the reaction force from the ground, preventing deformation and collapse of the sole material around the through hole.

[0035] When people wear shoes for walking or other activities, air can flow freely between the inside of the shoe and the outside environment through the ventilation holes in the shaped block. Because the shaped block is harder than the sole itself, it can maintain the shape and structure of the holes, preventing deformation and collapse due to external forces.

[0036] Good breathability: By setting through holes and ventilation holes, free circulation of air inside the shoe is achieved, keeping the shoe dry and comfortable.

[0037] Stable and reliable structure: The addition of shaping blocks effectively solves the problem of easy deformation and collapse of the sole at the through-hole position, and improves the structural strength and stability of the sole.

[0038] Comfortable wearing experience: The sole body is made of rubber or foam material, which has good elasticity and cushioning properties, providing a comfortable wearing experience for the wearer. At the same time, the hardness of the shaping block is moderate and will not cause discomfort to the feet.

[0039] Longer service life: Since the structure of the sole is stable and reliable and not prone to deformation and collapse, the service life of the shoes can be extended.

[0040] A fabric layer 5 is fixedly provided on the upper side of the sole body 1 . The fabric layer 5 is provided with openings 6 corresponding to the ventilation holes 4 . A mesh fabric layer 7 is provided on the upper side of the fabric layer 5 .

[0041] The fabric layer can be firmly fixed on the sole body by modes such as gluing, sewing, etc., to guarantee that can not come off easily in use.The fabric layer plays the effect of the upper side of coating the sole body 1.On the one hand, fabric can provide certain softness and cushioning for the sole, so that the wearer can feel more comfortable on the foot when walking or exercising.On the other hand, the fabric layer can play a certain protective effect to the sole body, reduces direct friction and the wear of the sole body and the outside world, and prolongs the service life of the sole.

[0042] The mesh fabric layer is positioned above the fabric layer and is tightly bonded to it. The mesh fabric layer 7 prevents debris from entering the shoe through the ventilation holes 4. In daily life, we may walk in a variety of environments, such as streets, grassy areas, and sandy areas. These environments may contain debris such as dust, small particles, and sand. Without the mesh fabric layer to block it, debris can easily enter the shoe through the ventilation holes, affecting comfort and potentially causing damage to the foot. The mesh size of the mesh fabric layer can be designed according to actual needs, ensuring both good ventilation and effective barrier protection.

[0043] The fabric layer, mesh layer, sole body and shaping block together form a complete breathable sole system. In this system, each layer cooperates with each other and plays its own role.

[0044] The sole body provides basic support and cushioning functions, while achieving breathability through through holes and shaped blocks.

[0045] The fabric layer covers the upper side of the sole body, increasing the softness and protection of the sole.

[0046] The mesh layer effectively blocks debris from entering the shoe while ensuring breathability.

[0047] The air vents 4 are located in the middle of the sole body 1. The air vents 4 are in an elongated strip shape and are arranged in the front-to-back direction. The width of the air vents 4 gradually decreases from front to back. The air vents 4 are arranged in the middle of the sole body 1 so that the sole can be more evenly pressure-dispersed when stressed. When people walk or exercise, the pressure of the foot on the sole is mainly concentrated on the sole and heel, while the middle of the sole is relatively less stressed. Therefore, the air vents are arranged in the middle to reduce the possibility of the air vents being deformed or blocked due to concentrated pressure, thereby ensuring the stability of the ventilation performance.

[0048] Front connecting strips 8 extend forward from the left and right sides of the front side of the lower end of the shaping block 3, and the front connecting strips extend forward from the side of the shaping block close to the toe. The front connecting strips on the left and right sides work together to provide additional support and structural reinforcement for the front part of the sole.

[0049] A rear connecting strip 9 extends rearward from the rear side of the lower end of the shaping block 3. The rear connecting strip extends rearward from a side of the shaping block close to the heel to provide support and structural reinforcement for the rear portion of the sole.

[0050] The front connecting strip 8 and the rear connecting strip 9 are both fixedly connected to the lower side of the sole body 1 .

[0051] A connecting groove 10 connected to the front connecting strip 8 and the rear connecting strip 9 is provided on the lower side of the sole body 1. The position of the connecting groove corresponds to the front connecting strip and the rear connecting strip so that the connecting strip can be embedded therein to achieve a firm connection.

[0052] The functions of the connecting groove are as follows:

[0053] Provide accurate connection position: ensure that the front connecting strip and the rear connecting strip can be accurately connected to the sole body to avoid deviation in the connection position, thereby ensuring the firmness and stability of the connection.

[0054] Increased contact area: The grooves increase the contact area between the connector and the sole, strengthening the connection. A larger contact area means the connector can better withstand the pressure and tension from the sole, reducing the possibility of loosening or breaking the connection.

[0055] Hidden connection structure: The connection groove can hide the connection strip inside the sole, making the sole look neater and more beautiful. At the same time, the hidden connection structure can also reduce the impact of the external environment on the connection part, such as dust and moisture, thereby extending the service life of the connection.

[0056] Enhance the structural strength of the bottom surface of the sole body:

[0057] The front and rear connecting strips provide additional support for the underside of the sole. When people walk or exercise in shoes, the sole is subjected to reaction forces from the ground and body pressure. The connecting strips distribute these forces over a larger area, reducing excessive localized stress on the sole and thus enhancing the structural strength of the underside of the sole.

[0058] The material of the connecting strip is usually the same as the shaping block, which is hard plastic with high strength and rigidity. This kind of connecting strip can withstand large forces without deformation, providing reliable support for the sole.

[0059] Enhance the firmness of the connection between the shaping block and the sole body:

[0060] The front and rear connecting strips are fixedly connected to the lower side of the sole body, increasing the number of connection points between the shaping block and the sole body. This multi-point connection method can make the shaping block more firmly fixed to the sole body, reducing the possibility of loosening or falling off during use.

[0061] The connection between the connecting strip and the sole body can be achieved through a variety of methods, including gluing, welding, and inlaying. These methods can be selected based on the actual situation to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection. For example, gluing provides strong adhesion and is suitable for connecting large areas; welding can achieve a secure connection but requires specialized equipment and techniques; and inlaying allows the connecting strip to be embedded in the sole body, providing a more concealed and secure connection.

[0062] The undersides of the shaping block 3, front connecting strip 8, and rear connecting strip 9 are provided with upwardly recessed ventilation grooves 11. This design creates a certain spatial difference between the ventilation grooves and the rest of the sole, providing a dedicated channel for air circulation. The ventilation grooves 11 are connected to the air holes 4. The recessed shape of the ventilation grooves increases their contact area with air, thereby improving the efficiency of air flow. Furthermore, the recessed design helps protect the ventilation grooves from direct impact and abrasion by external objects, extending their service life.

[0063] The outer wall of the ventilation groove 11 is provided with slots 12. The number and size of the slots can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve optimal ventilation. The primary function of the slots is to further enhance air flow. When the sole of the shoe is in contact with the ground, the slots allow air to enter the ventilation groove from different directions, preventing the ground from completely blocking the air holes 4. This way, even when the sole of the shoe is in contact with the ground, air can still enter the ventilation groove through the slots and then enter the shoe through the air holes, ensuring the shoe's breathable performance.

[0064] Increase air circulation channels:

[0065] The ventilation slots 11 are connected to the air holes 4, forming a complete air flow channel. Air can enter the ventilation slots from the air holes and then exchange with the external environment through the slots. This multi-channel design greatly increases the air flow path and improves air flow capacity.

[0066] The presence of ventilation grooves and slots allows air to flow more smoothly inside the sole, reducing air flow resistance. This helps to quickly remove moisture and heat from the shoe, keeping the shoe dry and comfortable.

[0067] Avoid the impact of ground blockage:

[0068] During actual wear, contact between the sole and the ground is inevitable. Without ventilation grooves and notches, the ground is likely to block the ventilation holes, thus affecting air flow. The provision of ventilation grooves and notches can effectively prevent this from happening.

[0069] When the sole is in contact with the ground, the slots allow air to enter the ventilation slots from the sides, bypassing the ground blockage. In this way, even when the sole is in contact with the ground, the ventilation holes can still maintain a certain air flow capacity, ensuring that the breathability of the shoe is not affected.

[0070] The bottom surface of the sole body 1 is provided with anti-skid patterns.

[0071] A breathable shoe comprises a sole and an upper, wherein the sole is the above-mentioned breathable sole.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
