Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoes, in particular to an elastic member used for the heel of a shoe and the shoe. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, when people wear shoes for convenience, they often insert their feet directly into the inner cavity of the shoe. This can easily cause the heel to press on the shoe, causing it to deform. Alternatively, people use a shoe horn to avoid pressing on the heel, which is inconvenient. The improved heel structure includes a shoe upper and a supporting elastic member. The shoe upper includes a backward-folded bent portion. The supporting elastic member is arranged around the shoe upper, tilted from front to back. The rear end of the supporting elastic member is higher than the front end. The supporting elastic member is located below the bent portion and connected to the shoe upper. Since the supporting elastic member is arranged around the shoe upper, the bending resistance of the shoe upper is increased, but the deformation of the supporting elastic member is correspondingly smaller, resulting in a correspondingly smaller elastic force and a less obvious rebound effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an elastic member for the heel of a shoe and the shoe. Compared with the prior art, the elastic member has a better rebound effect when the heel of the shoe is compressed and deformed.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention and its related embodiments adopt the following technical solutions but are not limited to the following solutions:

[0005] The first technical solution relates to an elastic member for the heel of a shoe, wherein the elastic member is suitable for being placed behind the heel, the bottom of the elastic member is fixed relative to the sole of the shoe, the top of the elastic member is connected to the upper part of the heel, and the elastic member is provided with a bent portion; when the heel is subjected to pressure, the bent portion deforms; when the heel is released, the bent portion restores its deformation and drives the upper part of the heel to its original position.

[0006] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein the bending portion includes a first bending section and a second bending section that are smoothly connected, the first bending section extends in a downward direction and tilts backward, and is connected to the upper part of the heel; the second bending section extends in a downward direction and tilts forward, and is connected to the bottom of the elastic member.

[0007] The third technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein the bottom of the elastic member extends along the front-back direction of the sole to form a base, and the base is connected to the bent portion.

[0008] The fourth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, and the elastic member also includes a first side arm and a second side arm extending in an upward direction and tilted backward; the two ends of the first side arm are respectively connected to the left side of the front end of the base and the left side of the bent portion; the two ends of the second side arm are respectively connected to the right side of the front end of the base and the right side of the bent portion; the first side arm and the second side arm are both suitable for elastic deformation when subjected to force, and recovery of deformation when not subjected to force.

[0009] The fifth technical solution is based on the fourth technical solution, wherein the first side arm and the second side arm are symmetrically arranged relative to the bending portion.

[0010] The sixth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the base is U-shaped, and the bent portion is connected to the U-shaped bottom of the base.

[0011] The seventh technical solution relates to a shoe, the heel of which has the elastic member for the heel of the shoe as described in any one of the first to sixth technical solutions.

[0012] The eighth technical solution is based on the seventh technical solution, wherein the elastic member is bonded or sewn to the rear of the heel.

[0013] Compared with the existing technology, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the first technical solution, the elastic member is suitable for being placed behind the heel, the bottom of the elastic member is fixed relative to the sole, and the top of the elastic member is connected to the upper part of the heel, so that the elastic member is arranged along the height direction of the heel as a whole, and the elastic member is provided with a bent portion; when the heel is under pressure, the bent portion deforms; when the heel is released, the bent portion recovers its deformation and drives the upper part of the heel to return to its original position; therefore, when the user wears the shoe, when the heel is inserted into the shoe opening and steps on the upper part of the heel of the shoe, the upper part of the heel is subjected to the downward force of the heel The force is transmitted to the bent portion, causing the bent portion to deform, and the upper part of the heel moves downward accordingly; when the heel passes over the heel portion and enters the shoe cavity, the heel portion is no longer subjected to the force of the foot and is released, the bent portion recovers its deformation, and drives the upper part of the heel to return to its original position; compared with the existing technology, since the elastic member is arranged at the rear of the heel portion and has a bent portion, when the heel presses on the upper part of the heel portion, the force of the foot is directly transmitted to the bent portion, and correspondingly the reaction force of the bent portion is also larger, which makes the rebound effect of the heel portion better.

[0015] In the second technical solution, the bending portion is formed by connecting two bending sections, and the structure is relatively simple.

[0016] In the third technical solution, the base is fixed relative to the sole, extends along the front-to-back direction of the sole and is connected to the bent portion, so that the connection between the elastic member and the sole is more secure, and the position of the bent portion relative to the heel of the shoe is more stable and not easy to move.

[0017] In the fourth technical solution, the first side arm extends in an upward direction and tilts backward, and the two ends of the first side arm are respectively connected to the left side of the front end of the base and the left side of the bent portion; after the connection is completed, the first side arm and the base and the bent portion are spaced apart, and have a lever effect; the second side arm is the same; and the first side arm and the second side arm are both suitable for elastic deformation when subjected to force, and recovery of deformation when not subjected to force; therefore, when the heel enters the shoe opening and steps on the upper part of the heel, the bent portion deforms and drives the first side arm and the second side arm to deform. After the heel is released, the bent portion, the first side arm and the second side arm all recover their deformation, and the three drive each other to make the rebound effect of the upper part of the heel better.

[0018] In the fifth technical solution, the first side arm and the second side arm are symmetrically arranged relative to the bent portion, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the elastic member and supporting the heel from the left and right sides in a balanced manner.

[0019] In the sixth technical solution, the base is set to be U-shaped, which can reduce the weight of the entire elastic member and improve the lightness of the shoe.

[0020] In the seventh technical solution, the shoe has the elastic member of any one of the first to sixth technical solutions, thereby having the corresponding technical effects.

[0021] In the eighth technical solution, the bonding or sewing connection method has lower costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After the heel is released, the bending portion 1, the first side arm 3 and the second side arm 4 all recover their deformation, and the three drive each other to make the rebound effect of the upper part of the heel better.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first side arm 3 and the second side arm 4 are symmetrically arranged relative to the bent portion 1, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the elastic member and providing balanced support to the heel from the left and right sides.
