Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sporting goods, and in particular to a structure for a water-repellent insole for athletes. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of sports, athletes often engage in high-intensity training and competitions, resulting in excessive sweating of the feet. Although some insoles on the market have water-wicking functions, these functions often cannot keep up with the rate at which athletes' feet sweat during high-intensity exercise.
[0003] This causes a series of problems. First, the insole and the inside of the shoe become damp because sweat cannot be wicked away in time. This not only makes athletes uncomfortable and affects their performance, but also easily breeds bacteria and fungi, producing odors and potentially causing foot diseases. Second, the damp environment reduces the friction of the insole, making the foot more likely to slide inside the shoe and increasing the risk of injury. In addition, the constant dampness also affects the durability of the insole and shortens its lifespan.
[0004] To address these issues, a water-repellent insole structure for athletes has been developed. This insole structure features a unique design with densely packed drainage holes on the foam insole body, achieving highly efficient breathability and drainage. Simultaneously, a reinforced sweat-wicking device is located at the rear of the insole, utilizing the sweat-wicking properties of bamboo charcoal fiber and silicone pads to replenish sweat when athletes' feet sweat rapidly during high-intensity exercise. This provides athletes with a dry, comfortable, and stable foot environment, thereby improving athletic performance and reducing the risk of injury. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a drainage and air-purifying insole structure for athletes, aiming to solve the problem that existing insoles often cannot keep up with the rate at which athletes' feet sweat during high-intensity exercise, leading to dampness inside the insole and shoe.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a drainage and air-absorbing insole structure for athletes, comprising a foamed insole body and a reinforced sweat-absorbing device disposed at the rear end of the foamed insole body. The foamed insole body has a fixed groove B inside its bottom center, a fixed groove A is disposed behind the fixed groove B, and a fixed groove C is disposed in front of the fixed groove B. A heel shock-absorbing pad is fixed in the fixed groove A, a palm shock-absorbing pad is fixed in the fixed groove B, and a foot shock-absorbing pad is fixed in the fixed groove C.
[0007] In one embodiment, the enhanced sweat-absorbing device includes a soft rubber anti-slip sheet, a bamboo charcoal fiber pad, a silicone sweat-absorbing pad, and a soft fixing plug. The bottom end of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad is fixed with a silicone sweat-absorbing pad. Soft rubber anti-slip sheets are fixed to the top outer walls of both the front and rear ends of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad. The soft rubber anti-slip sheets can be respectively attached to the bottom outer walls of the front and rear ends of the foam insole body. Multiple soft fixing plugs are equidistantly arranged on the top outer walls of the left and right edges of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad.
[0008] In one embodiment, the thickness of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad is less than that of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad, the edges of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad and the silicone sweat-absorbing pad are flush, and the cross-sectional shapes of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad and the silicone sweat-absorbing pad are the same as the cross-sectional shape of the foam insole body.
[0009] In one embodiment, the enhanced sweat-absorbing device further includes a sleeve groove A, a sleeve groove B, and a sleeve groove C. The sleeve groove A is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the heel shock-absorbing pad, the sleeve groove B is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the palm shock-absorbing pad, and the sleeve groove C is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the foot shock-absorbing pad.
[0010] In one embodiment, the inner walls of the socket grooves A, B, and C are respectively close to the outer walls of the heel shock-absorbing pad, the palm shock-absorbing pad, and the foot shock-absorbing pad, and the bottom outer walls of the heel shock-absorbing pad, the palm shock-absorbing pad, and the foot shock-absorbing pad are all located below the bottom outer wall of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad.
[0011] In one embodiment, the interior of the foamed insole body is also densely covered with a number of drainage holes, which completely penetrate the foamed insole body, and a plurality of the soft fixing plugs can be inserted into the drainage holes corresponding to their positions.
[0012] In one embodiment, the top of the foamed insole body is provided with a downwardly recessed foot groove, and a microfiber cloth is attached and fixed to the outer wall of the top of the foot groove. The microfiber cloth has holes corresponding to drainage air holes.
[0013] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the top of the foot groove is provided with a plurality of upwardly arched elastic protrusions, the elastic protrusions having a semi-elliptical structure, and the microfiber cloth covering the outside of the plurality of elastic protrusions.
[0014] In one embodiment, the foamed insole body is made of foam cotton in one piece, and the top and bottom edges of the foamed insole body are both treated with arc surfaces. The elastic coefficient of the foamed insole body is less than that of the heel shock-absorbing pad, the palm shock-absorbing pad and the foot shock-absorbing pad.
[0015] In one embodiment, the bottom edges of the heel shock-absorbing pad, the palm shock-absorbing pad, and the foot shock-absorbing pad are curved, and all three are made of elastic gel material.
[0016] Beneficial Effects: The technical solution of this utility model adds a novel enhanced sweat-absorbing device to the bottom of the foam insole. When athletes engage in high-intensity exercise, the drainage effect of the foam insole may not keep up with the rate at which the athlete's feet sweat. At this time, the enhanced sweat-absorbing device at the bottom of the foam insole compensates for the insufficient drainage by absorbing sweat. Firstly, the bamboo charcoal fiber pad on the enhanced sweat-absorbing device has excellent moisture absorption and breathability, quickly absorbing sweat from the feet and keeping them dry. Simultaneously, bamboo charcoal fiber also has antibacterial and deodorizing functions, effectively reducing foot odor. Secondly, the enhanced sweat-absorbing device... Our silicone sweat pads offer excellent softness and elasticity, providing users with superior comfort and effective support. They are especially suitable for people who walk or exercise for extended periods. Their unique internal structure efficiently wicks away sweat, ensuring feet stay dry. Furthermore, silicone sweat pads are extremely durable and resistant to deformation. They also have a significant sweat-wicking effect, quickly absorbing sweat from the feet to create a comfortable environment. Enhanced sweat-wicking features effectively improve the insole's absorbency, keeping feet dry. They also provide excellent shock absorption and comfort, offering athletes a better athletic experience. Attached Figure Description

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The illustrated structure of an athlete's drainage and air-absorbing insole includes a foam insole body 1 and a reinforced sweat-absorbing device 5 located at the rear end of the foam insole body 1. The foam insole body 1 serves as the main structure of the entire insole, providing basic support and shape. A fixing groove B9 is located at the center of the bottom of the foam insole body 1. A fixing groove A7 is located behind the fixing groove B9, and a fixing groove C11 is located in front of the fixing groove B9. A heel shock-absorbing pad 8 is fixed in the fixing groove A7, a palm shock-absorbing pad 10 is fixed in the fixing groove B9, and a foot shock-absorbing pad 12 is fixed in the fixing groove C11. The foam insole body 1 also has numerous drainage and air-absorbing holes 4 that completely penetrate the foam insole body 1. Multiple flexible fixing plugs 18 can be inserted into these holes. The corresponding drainage holes 4 ensure that the feet stay dry and avoid discomfort and odor caused by sweat accumulation. The top of the foam insole body 1 is provided with a downwardly recessed foot groove 2. The outer wall of the top of the foot groove 2 is attached with microfiber cloth 3. The microfiber cloth 3 has reserved holes corresponding to the drainage holes 4. The outer wall of the top of the foot groove 2 is provided with multiple upwardly arched elastic protrusions 6. The elastic protrusions 6 are in a semi-elliptical structure. The microfiber cloth 3 covers the outside of the multiple elastic protrusions 6. The microfiber cloth 3 is soft and has good breathability, which can quickly wick away sweat and prevent friction between the feet and the insole, reducing wear. The reserved holes corresponding to the drainage holes 4 ensure the normal drainage function of the drainage holes 4 and keep the feet dry.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the foam insole body 1 is made entirely of foam cotton, which has good elasticity and softness, adapting to the shape and movement changes of the foot. The top and bottom edges of the foam insole body 1 are curved, increasing the fit between the insole and the shoe and reducing discomfort. The elasticity coefficient of the foam insole body 1 is lower than that of the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12. Different elasticity coefficients provide different levels of shock absorption during exercise, protecting the foot joints. The bottom edges of the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12 are also curved. All three are made of elastic gel material, which provides excellent shock absorption performance and effectively reduces... The design minimizes impact on the feet during exercise, protecting foot joints and bones. The curved edge at the bottom edge makes the connection between the shock-absorbing pad and the foam insole body 1 smoother, reducing friction and discomfort. This athlete's drainage and air-purifying insole structure utilizes the porous structure of the foam insole body 1 and the densely packed drainage holes 4 to achieve breathability and drainage. At the same time, fixed grooves are set at specific positions on the foam insole body 1 to fix the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12, respectively, to provide shock absorption effects for different parts. An enhanced sweat-absorbing device 5 is set at the rear end of the foam insole body 1. Through the sweat-absorbing properties of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 and the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 and their connection structure with the foam insole body 1, it replenishes sweat when the athlete's feet sweat quickly during high-intensity exercise. In addition, the design of the foot groove 2, elastic protrusions 6, and microfiber cloth 3 further improves the comfort and breathability of the insole.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the enhanced sweat-absorbing device 5 includes a soft rubber anti-slip sheet 13, a bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15, a silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16, and soft fixing plugs 18. The silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 is adhered and fixed to the bottom end of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15. Soft rubber anti-slip sheets 13 are adhered and fixed to the top outer walls of both the front and rear ends of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15. The soft rubber anti-slip sheets 13 can be respectively attached to the bottom outer walls of both the front and rear ends of the foam insole body 1. Multiple soft fixing plugs 18 are equidistantly arranged on the top outer walls of the left and right edges of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15. The thickness of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 is less than the thickness of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16. The edges of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 and the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 are flush. The cross-sectional shapes of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 and the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 are the same as the cross-sectional shape of the foam insole body 1. The enhanced sweat-absorbing device 5 also includes a socket groove A14, a socket groove B17, and a socket groove C19. The groove A14 is fitted onto the outside of the bottom end of the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the groove B17 is fitted onto the outside of the bottom end of the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the groove C19 is fitted onto the outside of the bottom end of the foot shock-absorbing pad 12. The design of the grooves A14, B17, and C19 achieves a tight fit with the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12. The grooves are fitted onto the outside of the bottom end of the corresponding shock-absorbing pads, and the inner walls of the grooves are close to the outer walls of the shock-absorbing pads, making the enhanced sweat-absorbing device 5 and the shock-absorbing pads form a whole, improving the stability of the entire insole structure. At the same time, the outer walls of the bottom ends of the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12 are all located on the lower side of the outer wall of the bottom end of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16. This structural arrangement not only ensures the normal function of the shock-absorbing pads, but also allows the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 to better contact the foot and perform its sweat-absorbing function.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inner walls of the sockets A14, B17, and C19 are respectively close to the outer walls of the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12. The outer walls of the bottom ends of the heel shock-absorbing pad 8, the palm shock-absorbing pad 10, and the foot shock-absorbing pad 12 are all located below the outer wall of the bottom end of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16. The bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 is combined with the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16. The bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 has good moisture absorption and breathability. It is pasted on top of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 and can quickly absorb the sweat excreted from the feet and conduct it to the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16. The silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 has a soft texture and good elasticity, which can further absorb sweat and maintain a close fit to the feet, providing a comfortable contact feel. The thickness of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 is... The thickness is less than that of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16. This design allows the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 to better contact the foot and perform its sweat-absorbing function. At the same time, the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 is flush with the edge of the silicone sweat-absorbing pad 16 and has the same cross-sectional shape as the foam insole body 1, ensuring the stability and fit of the entire device on the bottom of the insole. Secondly, the soft rubber anti-slip sheet 13 enhances the stability of the insole inside the shoe. The soft rubber anti-slip sheet 13 is attached to the top outer wall of the front and rear ends of the bamboo charcoal fiber pad 15 and can be attached to the bottom outer wall of the front and rear ends of the foam insole body 1, respectively. This increases the friction between the insole and the bottom of the shoe and prevents the insole from sliding during exercise, thereby ensuring that the enhanced sweat-absorbing device 5 can always be in the correct position to perform its sweat-absorbing function.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
