Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a shoe that is convenient for orthopedic patients to put on and take off. Background Technology

[0002] Orthopedic patients often have injuries or diseases in bones, joints, muscles, etc., and have special needs for the function and comfort of shoes. It is necessary to ensure that the shoes can be put on and taken off easily and used daily without affecting the patient's injury recovery.

[0003] In order to facilitate patients' putting on and taking off shoes, existing institutions use a screw-lifting structure with adjustable heel height. The screw rotates inside the shoe to adjust the heel height. This not only makes the screw prone to wear and deformation of the threads after long-term use, leading to adjustment failure, but it is also located around the ankle or foot, which can make the shoes feel hard and uncomfortable for patients, and may even put pressure on the skin and cause discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a shoe that is convenient for orthopedic patients to put on and take off, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A shoe that is easy for orthopedic patients to put on and take off includes a sole, an upper fixedly disposed on the top of the sole, the upper being made of breathable mesh material, a heel fixedly disposed inside the upper, and an installation groove provided inside the sole, with an adjustment mechanism disposed inside the installation groove.

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly installed inside the mounting groove. Two first springs are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate. A pressing block is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two first springs. The pressing block is inclined around its perimeter. Multiple sliding grooves are formed on the surface of each pressing block. A sliding frame is slidably connected inside each of the multiple sliding grooves. The surface of the sliding frame is inclined. Two stabilizing springs are fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frame. An adjustment plate is slidably connected inside the sliding frame. One side of the adjustment plate is connected to the heel of the shoe. A short spring is fixedly installed on one side of the adjustment plate. A limit post is fixedly installed on one side of the short spring.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to raise and lower the heel of the shoe, and the operation is convenient and quick. It can be adjusted to a suitable state when putting on and taking off the shoes, thereby achieving quick putting on and taking off.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: a limiting groove is formed on the surface of the shoe upper, the limiting post is engaged with the limiting groove, a through hole is formed on the surface of the shoe sole, a pressing block is slidably connected inside the through hole, a protruding block is fixedly provided at one end of the pressing block, a fixing strip is fixedly provided on both sides of the pressing block, a second spring is provided between the two fixing strips, a plurality of inclined abutments are fixedly provided on one side of the fixing strip, a placement groove is formed inside the shoe upper, and the fixing strip, the second spring and the inclined abutments are all placed inside the placement groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the shoe provides support and assistance during the patient's walking process by reasonably controlling the change in heel height, which helps bone rehabilitation and reduces the burden on the body, and the patient can complete the task independently.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a high-elasticity layer is fixedly provided at the bottom of the sole, the high-elasticity layer is made of EVA foam material, a wear-resistant layer is fixedly provided at the bottom of the high-elasticity layer, the wear-resistant layer can be made of wear-resistant rubber, and an inner layer is fixedly provided on one side of both the sole and the upper, the inner layer being made of soft memory foam.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the overall comfort of the shoes is ensured, the anti-slip effect is enhanced, and the use process is guaranteed to be smooth and without any abruptness.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By setting an adjustment mechanism, compared with the existing technology, when the patient stands up after wearing this device, the heel and the ball of the foot are pressed down, which causes the first spring at the bottom of the foot pressing block to be squeezed and deformed, thereby pressing the foot pressing block into the installation groove. At the same time, the sliding frame and the adjustment plate are moved, which in turn causes the adjustment plate to move away from the foot pressing block on both sides and also to move upward, thereby causing the heel of the shoe to move upward. Through the engagement of the limiting post and the limiting groove, the heel of the shoe is extended to the appropriate position, thereby wrapping the patient's heel and making it easier for the patient to walk.

[0015] 2. By incorporating a pressing block, a limiting post, a second spring, a heel counter, and a wear-resistant layer, compared to existing technologies, when the toes touch the ground or wall, the pressing block is pressed, transmitting pressure to the fixing strip. The fixing strip causes the second spring to deform, and the inclined block moves closer to the limiting post, thus pressing the limiting post and pushing it out of the limiting groove. At this point, the adjusting plate moves downward, causing the heel counter to move downward, making it easier for the patient to remove their foot from the shoe. Furthermore, the upper is made of breathable mesh material, facilitating early footwear and activity for the patient. The wear-resistant layer on the bottom of the sole provides excellent anti-slip properties, ensuring the patient's safety while walking and providing a comfortable fit, thus enhancing comfort.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] The embodiments disclosed in this application are as follows: Figure 1-5The shoe shown is designed to be easy for orthopedic patients to put on and take off. It includes a sole 1, an upper 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the sole 1, the upper 2 being made of breathable mesh material, a heel 3 fixedly mounted inside the upper 2, and an installation groove 4 provided inside the sole 1. An adjustment mechanism is provided inside the installation groove 4.

[0024] The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate 5 fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 4. Two first springs 6 are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 5. A pressing block 7 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two first springs 6. The pressing block 7 is inclined around its perimeter. Multiple sliding grooves 8 are formed on the surface of each pressing block 7. A sliding frame 9 is slidably connected inside each of the multiple sliding grooves 8. The surface of the sliding frame 9 is inclined. Two stabilizing springs 10 are fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frame 9. An adjustment plate 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding frame 9. One side of the adjustment plate 11 is connected to the heel 3 of the shoe. A short spring 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the adjustment plate 11. A limit post 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the short spring 12. When the patient needs to put on the shoe, he puts his foot into the shoe upper 2, completely inside the shoe upper 2. Then, when the patient stands up, the heel and the ball of the foot press down, thereby bringing the sole 1 of the shoe into contact with the ground, thus causing the patient's heel to step down. The pressure block 7 applies pressure, causing the first spring 6 at the bottom of the pressure block 7 to be compressed and deformed, thus pushing the pressure block 7 into the mounting groove 4. At the same time, as the pressure block 7 moves downward, it causes the sliding frame 9 to move away from the pressure block 7 inside the sliding groove 8. Simultaneously, when the patient inserts their foot, it also causes the adjusting plate 11 to move to both sides inside the sliding frame 9. Since the sliding frame 9 is set in an inclined shape, it causes the adjusting plate 11 to move away from the pressure block 7 to both sides and also to move upward, thus causing the shoe heel 3 to move. At the same time, it causes the limiting post 13 to move until the limiting post 13 moves to align with the limiting groove. At this time, the short spring 12 is depressurized and reset, thus causing the limiting post 13 to enter the limiting groove and engage, thereby extending the shoe heel 3 to the appropriate position, thus wrapping the patient's heel and facilitating the patient's walking.

[0025] Reference Figure 2-3As shown, the surface of the shoe upper 2 has a limiting groove, and the limiting post 13 is engaged with the limiting groove. The surface of the shoe sole 1 has a through hole, and a pressing block 14 is slidably connected inside the through hole. A protrusion 15 is fixedly provided at one end of the pressing block 14. Fixing strips 16 are fixedly provided on both sides of the pressing block 14. A second spring 17 is provided between two fixing strips 16. Multiple inclined abutments 18 are fixedly provided on one side of the fixing strips 16. The inside of the shoe upper 2 has a placement groove, and the fixing strips 16, the second spring 17, and the inclined abutments 18 are all placed inside the placement groove. When the patient needs to take off the shoe, they can use their toes to... When the foot touches the ground or wall, it presses the protruding block 15, which in turn presses the pressing block 14. The protruding block 15 effectively prevents the pressing block 14 from falling out of the through hole. Then, the pressing block 14 transmits pressure to the fixing strip 16. The fixing strip 16 drives the second spring 17 to deform and moves the inclined abutment 18 closer to one side of the limiting post 13, thereby pressing the limiting post 13 and pushing it out of the limiting groove. At this time, the adjusting plate 11 moves downward, which in turn moves the shoe heel 3 downward. The patient no longer needs to press the pressing block 7, making it easier for the patient to take their foot out of the shoe.

[0026] Reference Figure 4-5 As shown, a high-elasticity layer 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sole 1. The high-elasticity layer 19 is made of EVA foam material. A wear-resistant layer 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the high-elasticity layer 19. The wear-resistant layer 20 can be made of wear-resistant rubber. An inner layer 21 is fixedly installed on one side of both the sole 1 and the upper 2. The inner layer 21 is made of soft memory foam. The upper 2 is made of breathable mesh material. It is designed in a style similar to traditional sports shoes, with enough space to accommodate the foot and avoid compression of the injured area, so that the patient can wear shoes and move around in the early stages. The bottom is provided with a high-elasticity layer 19, which is made of EVA foam material to cushion the impact during walking and reduce the pressure on injured bones and joints. A wear-resistant layer 20 is provided at the bottom of the high-elasticity layer 19. The wear-resistant layer 20 can be made of wear-resistant rubber, which has good anti-slip properties and ensures the safety of the patient when walking. In addition, an inner layer 21 is fixedly provided inside the sole 1 and the upper 2. The inner layer 21 is made of soft memory foam, which can automatically adapt to the shape of the patient's foot and provide a comfortable fit, thus making it more comfortable.

[0027] Working principle of this utility model:

[0028] This invention relates to a shoe designed for easy on and off by orthopedic patients. When the patient needs to put on the shoe, they insert their foot completely into the shoe upper 2. Then, when the patient stands up, both the heel and the ball of the foot press downwards, bringing the sole 1 into contact with the ground. This causes the patient's heel to press down on the foot-pressing block 7, deforming the first spring 6 at the bottom of the foot-pressing block 7, thus pushing the foot-pressing block 7 into the mounting groove 4. Simultaneously, as the foot-pressing block 7 moves downwards, it causes the sliding frame 9 to move away from the foot-pressing block 7 within the sliding groove 8. Furthermore, the patient's insertion of the foot also activates an adjustment plate. 11 moves to both sides inside the sliding frame 9. Since the sliding frame 9 is set in an inclined shape, it drives the adjusting plate 11 to move away from the pressing block 7 on both sides and also moves upward, thereby driving the shoe heel 3 to move. At the same time, it drives the limiting post 13 to move until the limiting post 13 moves to align with the limiting groove. The limiting groove is provided with a plastic ring. At this time, the short spring 12 is depressurized and reset, thereby driving the limiting post 13 into the limiting groove. It is then engaged by the plastic ring, thereby driving the shoe heel 3 to extend to the appropriate position, thereby wrapping the patient's heel and making it easier for the patient to walk.

[0029] When the patient needs to take off their shoes, they touch the ground or wall with their toes, which in turn squeezes the protruding block 15. The protruding block 15 squeezes the pressing block 14, effectively preventing the pressing block 14 from falling out of the through hole. Then, the pressing block 14 transmits pressure to the fixing strip 16, which drives the second spring 17 to deform and move the inclined abutment 18 closer to one side of the limiting post 13, thereby squeezing the limiting post 13 out of the limiting groove. Since the inclined abutment 18 is set to be inclined and has a protruding block on one side that matches the limiting groove, the inclined abutment 18 is inserted into the limiting groove, thereby squeezing out the limiting post 13. At this time, the adjusting plate 11 moves downward, which in turn moves the shoe heel 3 downward. The patient no longer needs to press the pressing block 7, making it easier for the patient to take their foot out of the shoe.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper 2 is made of breathable mesh material and designed in a style similar to traditional sports shoes, providing ample space for the foot and avoiding pressure on the injured area, allowing patients to start moving around in the shoes early. The sole 1 has a high-elasticity layer 19 made of EVA foam material at the bottom to cushion the impact of walking and reduce pressure on injured bones and joints. The bottom of the high-elasticity layer 19 is also fitted with an abrasion-resistant layer 20, which can be made of abrasion-resistant rubber and has good anti-slip properties to ensure the safety of the patient when walking. In addition, an inner layer 21 made of soft memory foam is fixed inside the sole 1 and the upper 2, which can automatically adapt to the shape of the patient's foot and provide a comfortable fit, thus making it more comfortable.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
