Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a novel drainage shoe sole, belonging to the field of footwear technology. Background Technology

[0002] In rainy areas of the south, frequent rainfall causes roads to remain damp or flooded for extended periods. When pedestrians walk, their shoes easily absorb a large amount of water due to rainwater penetration or splashes from the road. Traditional footwear products, limited by their closed structure and absorbent materials, cannot quickly drain water from the shoe cavity, resulting in the feet being in a damp environment for a long time. This not only reduces wearing comfort but may also cause foot health problems, seriously affecting the user experience.

[0003] To solve the problem of water accumulation inside shoes, existing technologies mostly involve setting drainage channels or perforated structures in the sole to allow water to drain out using gravity or walking pressure. However, such designs usually place the drainage holes directly on the ground surface of the sole, making the holes easily clogged by mud, sand, debris, and other foreign objects during walking. Especially on muddy or gravel roads, the drainage function will quickly fail. To solve this problem, a new solution is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of drainage shoe sole in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a novel drainage shoe sole, comprising a body, the body comprising a midsole and an outsole, a drainage mechanism provided within the midsole, the drainage mechanism comprising a water guide hole and a drainage groove, the water guide hole being vertically positioned and penetrating the midsole, the drainage groove being positioned at the bottom of the midsole along the width direction of the midsole, the drainage groove penetrating both sides of the midsole, the water guide hole being connected to the drainage groove, the midsole being fitted and fixed to the outsole, and a positioning support mechanism being provided between the outsole and the midsole.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning support mechanism includes a support flange and a flange groove. The support flange is arranged around the top edge of the outsole, and the flange groove is arranged around the bottom edge of the midsole. The support flange and the flange groove cooperate with each other.

[0007] Preferably, the support flange is configured with a wave-shaped structure, and the openings on both sides of the drainage groove are aligned with the troughs of the support flange.

[0008] Preferably, the midsole is provided with a plurality of diffusion grooves, each of which is connected to all drainage grooves, and the diffusion grooves are arranged along the length of the midsole.

[0009] Preferably, the water guide holes are located on the midsole at positions corresponding to the heel and the ball of the foot.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The design integrates vertical drainage holes with drainage channels running horizontally through both sides of the midsole, distributing drainage outlets on the sides of the sole so they do not contact the ground, significantly reducing the risk of mud and sand clogging. The wavy support flange and flange groove work together to provide stable support and sealing between the midsole and outsole. The design of aligning the drainage channel openings with the troughs of the support flange optimizes the visual aesthetics of the openings, forming a regular hole structure. The vertical drainage holes are concentrated in the pressure areas of the heel and forefoot, and together with the diffusion channels, they connect the drainage channels to form a drainage network. Under walking pressure, this accelerates the discharge of accumulated water from the sides, balancing drainage efficiency, moisture resistance, and durability under complex road conditions.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] A new type of drainage shoe sole, such as Figure 1As shown, the shoe includes a main body 1, which is composed of a midsole 2 and an outsole 3. The midsole 2 has a drainage mechanism, specifically including several water-guiding holes 4 and drainage channels 5. The water-guiding holes 4 are vertically positioned and penetrate the midsole 2, so water inside the shoe will flow into the water-guiding holes 4 due to its own weight and be guided to the bottom of the midsole 2. The drainage channels 5 are located along the width of the midsole 2 at the bottom of the midsole 2, penetrating both sides of the midsole 2 and connected to the drainage channels 5. Therefore, when water flows into the midsole 2 through the water-guiding holes 4... After reaching the bottom, the water will enter the drainage channel 5 and flow along the drainage channel 5 to both sides of the sole, and finally be discharged to the outside from the openings of the drainage channel 5 on both sides of the sole. The drainage channel 5 can be set horizontally. In addition to natural diffusion, when the wearer walks, the water in the drainage channel 5 will also be shaken out due to the movement. The drainage channel 5 can also be set to slope downward from the middle of the midsole 2 to both sides. In this case, even when stationary, the water will be continuously discharged due to its own weight and the slope of the drainage channel 5, without contacting the ground, which significantly reduces the risk of mud and sand blockage.

[0018] The midsole 2 is fitted and fixed onto the outsole 3, and a positioning support mechanism is provided between the outsole 3 and the midsole 2. This mechanism specifically includes a support flange 6 and a flange groove 7. The support flange 6 surrounds the top edge of the outsole 3, forming an upward-facing edge, while the flange groove 7 surrounds the bottom edge of the midsole 2, forming a stepped groove at the bottom edge of the midsole 2. The support flange 6 and the flange groove 7 cooperate, and this interlocking design creates a good seal. Through their cooperation, external sewage is prevented from flowing into the gap between the outsole 3 and the midsole 2. This also facilitates positioning during the installation of the midsole 2 and the outsole 3, and ensures... The openings of the drainage channels 5 on both sides of the insole 2 are accurately positioned and not obstructed; the support flange 6 is designed with a wave-shaped structure, and the openings on both sides of the drainage channel 5 are aligned with the troughs of the support flange 6. Therefore, the highest support point of the support flange 6 is higher than the opening of the drainage channel 5, meaning that the force at this position is greater. Furthermore, since the opening of the drainage channel 5 is aligned with the trough, an arched support is formed at the opening. This provides a good support effect for the opening of the drainage channel 5, ensuring that the opening will not deform and close when the wearer walks, thus ensuring drainage. The resulting appearance is also more aesthetically pleasing and will not be compromised by the design of the opening.

[0019] Water guide holes 4 are located on the midsole 2 at positions corresponding to the heel and the ball of the foot. The heel and the ball of the foot are the main pressure areas of the sole, and they are also ergonomically recessed, so water accumulation in these two areas is more serious. Several diffusion grooves 8 are also provided on the midsole 2 along the length of the midsole 2. Each diffusion groove 8 is connected to all drainage grooves 5. Therefore, the diffusion grooves 8 and drainage grooves 5 form a drainage network, which accelerates the discharge of water from the side under the pressure of walking.

[0020] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0021] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
