[0003] In the cycling process, the cyclist's feet, especially the toe part, are easily hit from the outside, such as road obstacles, impact when falling accidentally, etc., the traditional cycling shoes are mostly protected by single material or simple structure, which is difficult to provide enough anti-collision protection while ensuring the lightness of the shoe body, in addition, during long time cycling, the feet are prone to be uncomfortable and even cause foot diseases due to heat and humidity, which affects the health and cycling efficiency of the cyclist, therefore, how to improve the anti-collision performance and ventilation performance of the cycling shoes has become a technical problem to be solved in the current cycling equipment field.

[0004] For the toe anti-collision, although there are some anti-collision cycling shoe products on the market, most of them have poor protection effect, heavy weight and affect the wearing comfort, some cycling shoes use thick metal or plastic shields for protection, which can provide certain anti-collision ability, but significantly increase the weight of the shoe body and reduce the cycling flexibility, while other cycling shoes have poor protection effect due to improper selection of protection materials or unreasonable structure design, which cannot effectively resist the impact.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a light and ventilative cycling shoe with excellent anti-collision performance and good ventilation performance for improving the cycling experience and safety of the cyclist. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0007] The utility model adopts the technical scheme of: a light and ventilative cycling shoe, including a shoe body, a toe anti-collision protection structure is inlaid in the toe part of the shoe body, the toe anti-collision protection structure is composed of an external carbon fiber shield, a middle layer aerogel buffer layer and an inner layer flexible adhesive lining.

[0008] Preferably, in order to improve the protection performance of the outer layer of the toe anti-collision protection structure, the external carbon fiber shield is made of carbon fiber weaving process, and a honeycomb structure is formed on the surface of the external carbon fiber shield.

[0009] Preferably, in order to improve air permeability, each hexagonal unit of the honeycomb structure is laser-etched with air-permeable micropores.

[0010] Preferably, in order to improve the cushioning performance of the shoe body, the middle aerogel cushioning layer is composed of a nano-aerogel plate and a film, wherein the nano-aerogel plate is encapsulated inside the film, and the film is made of thermoplastic polyurethane material.

[0011] Preferably, in order to improve the air permeability of the nano-aerogel, the nano-aerogel plate is uniformly provided with interconnected micro-air channels inside.

[0012] Preferably, in order to improve the strength and breathability of the inner flexible lining, the inner flexible lining is made of intelligent shape memory elastomer material, with high-strength aramid fibers embedded on its surface, and breathable channels are distributed inside the inner flexible lining.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the shoe body can improve the impact resistance of the toe; the outer honeycomb carbon fiber protective plate is high-strength and lightweight, which can resist impact; the middle aerogel buffer layer efficiently absorbs energy and cushions shock; the inner flexible and close-fitting lining absorbs energy and enhances protection when impacted; and the layers are firmly connected to form a stable structure, ensuring that the protective performance is durable and reliable.

[0014] Furthermore, the multi-layered breathable design constructs a three-dimensional breathable network.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 Further description of this utility model: A lightweight and breathable cycling shoe includes a shoe body 1. The toe portion of the shoe body 1 is embedded with a toe impact protection structure 2. The toe impact protection structure 2 consists of an outer carbon fiber protective plate 201, a middle aerogel cushioning layer 202, and an inner flexible lining 203. It should be noted that the outer carbon fiber protective plate 201, the middle aerogel cushioning layer 202, and the inner flexible lining 203 are connected to each other using an adhesive bonding process. Before bonding, the inner surface of the outer carbon fiber protective plate 201 and the middle aerogel cushioning layer 202 need to be... The upper and lower surfaces of 02 and the outer surface of the inner flexible lining 203 are treated to improve surface cleanliness, roughness and chemical activity. The adhesive is evenly applied to the surfaces that need to be joined. Then the three-layer structure is assembled according to the design requirements and a certain pressure is applied to allow the adhesive to fully fill the gaps between the materials. Under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, the adhesive is allowed to cure and form a stable connection. However, when bonding, the ventilation holes in the three-layer structure should be avoided to prevent the ventilation holes from being blocked. In order to meet the breathability of the shoe body 1, the shoe body 1 is made of breathable leather material.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer carbon fiber protective plate 201 is made using a carbon fiber weaving process, and its surface forms a honeycomb structure 201a. It should be noted that the outer carbon fiber protective plate 201 made using a carbon fiber weaving process has high strength and low density characteristics, which can effectively disperse impact force.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, each hexagonal unit of the honeycomb structure 201a is laser-etched with breathable micropores 201b. It should be noted that the breathable micropores 201b can improve the air permeability of the toe impact protection structure 2 while improving the impact resistance.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the middle aerogel buffer layer 202 is composed of a nano-aerogel plate 2021 and a film 2022. The nano-aerogel plate 2021 is encapsulated inside the film 2022, which is made of thermoplastic polyurethane. It should be noted that the film 2022 made of thermoplastic polyurethane has high strength and high elasticity. The elastic deformation generated by the pore structure in the nano-aerogel plate 2021 can absorb and dissipate energy. In addition, the film 2022 is needle-rolled, which can form a large number of micropores on the film 2022, allowing moisture and air to pass through.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, the nano-aerogel plate 2021 is uniformly provided with a through micro air duct 2021a inside, and it needs to be noted that the micro air duct is in communication with the air-permeable microporous 201b of the external carbon fiber backboard 201 and the air-permeable channel 2031 of the internal flexible fitting lining, forming a three-dimensional air-permeable network to ensure that air can flow freely in the toe impact protection structure 2.

[0025] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 As shown, the inner layer flexible fitting lining 203 is made of a smart shape memory elastomer material, the surface of which is embedded with high-strength aramid fibers, and the inner layer flexible fitting lining 203 is internally provided with an air-permeable channel 2031, and it needs to be noted that in order to improve the comfort of the inner layer flexible fitting lining 203 in contact with the user's toes, the surface of the inner layer flexible fitting lining 203 is treated with a skin-friendly micro-fuzzy material (pure cotton material can be selected), and at the same time, the micro-fuzzy material can be treated with a hydrophobic treatment, so as to keep the feet dry and not affect the air permeability, and by embedding aramid fibers, the strength of the inner layer flexible fitting lining 203 can be enhanced.

[0026] The basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application are shown and described above, and those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
