Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock technology, specifically to a type of anti-crack sock. Background Technology

[0002] In some dry climates, some middle-aged and elderly people are prone to dry, cracked heels. To effectively prevent this, many anti-crack socks have appeared on the market, featuring a moisturizing layer on the inside of the heel. Some anti-crack socks use silicone for this moisturizing layer. Because silicone has a certain degree of hardness, these socks can feel uncomfortable and have a foreign body sensation. Furthermore, the silicone layer adheres tightly to the heel, which, while providing some moisture, can lead to dampness when the heels are in a hot and humid environment for extended periods. This dampness reduces comfort and, in severe cases, can cause eczema on the heels. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crack-resistant sock. The breathable and moisturizing layer of the crack-resistant sock is mainly composed of a TPE layer. TPE material is softer than silicone material, which greatly reduces the foreign body sensation after wearing the crack-resistant sock. At the same time, the isolation and breathable part set on the outside of the TPE layer can achieve a certain degree of isolation between the heel surface and the TPE layer surface. In hot and humid environments, the isolation and breathable part can achieve a certain degree of breathability, thereby effectively preventing the heel from becoming damp.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a sock body, the sock body includes a heel, the heel includes a breathable and moisturizing layer, the inner layer of the breathable and moisturizing layer is a TPE layer, and an isolation and breathable part is provided on the outer side of the TPE layer.

[0005] Preferably, the stocking body is a heel stocking, a short stocking, a mid-calf stocking, or a knee-high stocking.

[0006] Furthermore, the breathable and moisturizing layer also includes a mixing layer and a fabric layer. The TPE layer, the mixing layer and the fabric layer are distributed sequentially from the inside to the outside. The mixing layer is formed by immersing TPE material into the upper part of the fabric layer.

[0007] Preferably, the insulating and breathable part has a raised mesh structure.

[0008] Preferably, the insulating and breathable portion includes a plurality of protrusions, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the TPE layer.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a simple structure and is convenient to process and manufacture; the TPE layer is formed by hot pressing and cooling of TPE material, which has excellent flexibility, thus greatly reducing the foreign body sensation when wearing the anti-crack socks, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the anti-crack socks. At the same time, the TPE layer is waterproof, which can effectively block the rapid loss of moisture from the heel, thereby playing a moisturizing role for the heel, thus effectively preventing or reducing the symptoms of dry and cracked heels; the isolation and breathable part set on the outside of the TPE layer has a certain thickness, which can effectively isolate the heel surface from the TPE layer. Because the isolation and breathable part has a breathable function, it can effectively ventilate the heel surface in hot and humid environments, thereby effectively preventing the heel from becoming damp, thus improving the wearing comfort of the anti-crack socks.

[0016] The following will describe specific embodiments and appendices. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some preferred embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0017] This utility model provides a type of anti-rip sock (such as...) Figure 1As shown), the sock includes a sock body 1, which can be a common type of heel sock, short sock, mid-calf sock, or knee-high sock on the market. The sock body 1 includes a heel section 11, which, in practical applications, is used to wrap around the heel of the foot. The heel section 11 includes a breathable and moisturizing layer 2, which maintains breathability and thus moisturizes the heel, effectively reducing dryness and cracking. The inner layer of the breathable and moisturizing layer 2 is a TPE layer 21, which is made of TPE material. TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer, a new type of polymer material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the processing convenience of plastic, and has high... With its strength, high resilience, soft touch, and injection molding properties, the TPE layer 21 is very soft and has poor breathability. Therefore, when wearing these anti-crack socks, the feeling of foreign objects is greatly reduced while simultaneously providing moisture retention, thus improving wearing comfort. An isolation breathable part 211 is provided on the outer side of the TPE layer 21, which has a certain degree of breathability. When wearing these anti-crack socks, the TPE layer 21 is in contact with the outer surface of the heel. In hot and humid environments, the isolation breathable part 211 facilitates airflow between the TPE layer 21 and the heel, effectively preventing dampness on the heel and improving the comfort of wearing these anti-crack socks for extended periods.

[0018] In practical applications, the TPE layer 21 is located inside the heel 11, allowing it to directly wrap around the heel after wearing. This breathable and moisturizing layer 2 also includes a mixing layer 22 and a fabric layer 23, distributed sequentially from the inside out. The mixing layer 22 is formed by TPE material impregnated into the upper part of the fabric layer 23. The fabric layer 23 is composed of the yarn from the sock body 1. During actual processing, the sock body 1 is turned inside out, and the heel 11 is placed in the corresponding mold position. Then, heated TPE material is directly pressed onto the heel 11 using the mold. After pressing and cooling, the TPE layer 21 adheres to the fabric layer 23. During the pressing process, some liquid TPE material enters the upper part of the fabric layer 23, forming the mixing layer 22. The presence of the mixing layer 22 increases the adhesion strength of the TPE layer 21 to the fabric layer 23.

[0019] Based on the above embodiments, this specific embodiment designs two specific embodiments of the insulating and breathable part 211. The specific implementation of the first specific embodiment of the insulating and breathable part 211 is as follows: the insulating and breathable part 211 has a raised mesh structure, that is, the insulating and breathable part 211 is a raised mesh 213. In practical applications, a concave mesh is provided at the bottom of the mold for pressing TPE material. During the pressing process, TPE material enters the concave mesh. After the TPE material cools and solidifies, the raised mesh 213 is formed. The contact area between the raised mesh 213 and the heel is small, which facilitates air dissipation from the heel. In a stuffy environment, this effectively prevents foot ulcers. The heel becomes damp; the second specific embodiment of the isolation and breathable part 211 is as follows: the isolation and breathable part 211 includes a plurality of protrusions 212, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the TPE layer 21. In practical applications, an inner groove is provided at the bottom of the mold for pressing the TPE material. During the pressing process, the TPE material enters the inner groove. After the TPE material cools and solidifies, the protrusions 212 are formed. The contact area between the protrusions 212 and the heel is small. At the same time, there are ventilation channels between adjacent protrusions 212, which facilitates the dissipation of air from the heel. In a stuffy environment, this effectively prevents the heel from becoming damp.

[0020] In this utility model, "inner", "outer", "upper", and "lower" are all relative positions used to facilitate the description of positional relationships, and therefore cannot be understood as absolute positions to limit the scope of protection.

[0021] Except for the technical features described in the specification, all other technologies are known to those skilled in the art.

[0022] The preferred embodiments and examples of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and examples. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
