AI Technical Summary
The existing shoe tongue structure lacks support and has good breathability, but it is difficult to effectively prevent liquid penetration.
The tongue is made of a flexible matrix and a plastic elastomer, with grooves and an arc-shaped outward expansion designed on the elastomer for the shoelaces to pass through and to prevent liquid penetration.
This design achieves strong support and breathability in the shoe tongue, while effectively preventing liquid from seeping into the shoe.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoemaking technology, specifically to a shoe tongue structure. Background Technology
[0002] The tongue is typically located on the instep of the shoe and fits seamlessly with the upper. It covers and protects the instep from friction between the laces and the foot. Generally, the tongue is made of the same material as the upper and is only secured to the front of the shoe opening. The laces thread over the tongue and hold it in a relatively stable position when the shoe is worn. While existing tongues offer good breathability, their overall structure lacks strong support.
[0003] In summary, this has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of shoe tongue structure to solve the drawbacks of the existing shoe tongue.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A shoe tongue structure includes a flexible substrate and an elastomer, wherein the elastomer is disposed on the flexible substrate, and the two together constitute a shoe tongue body.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a flexible inner lining layer that allows shoelaces to be threaded through, the flexible inner lining layer being disposed on the bottom surface of the flexible substrate.
[0008] Furthermore, the elastomer has a through groove located on the surface where the elastomer contacts the flexible substrate.
[0009] Furthermore, the elastomer includes an arc-shaped expansion portion, which is designed into the elastomer.
[0010] Furthermore, the elastomer is made of plastic.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. The shoe tongue structure of this utility model includes a flexible substrate and an elastomer, with the elastomer disposed on the flexible substrate, and the two together constitute a shoe tongue body. By adding a plastic elastomer to the flexible substrate, the shoe tongue structure has a certain degree of elasticity and strong support.
[0013] 2. The shoe tongue structure of this utility model has a through groove in the elastomer. The through groove is located on the surface where the elastomer contacts the flexible substrate. The through groove can be used for shoelaces to be threaded through. The elastomer includes an arc-shaped outward expansion. By designing the arc-shaped outward expansion on the elastomer, the arc-shaped outward expansion can be used to block the through groove, thereby better preventing liquid from penetrating into the shoe body.
[0014] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[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] See appendix Figure 1-4 This embodiment 1 provides a shoe tongue structure, including a flexible substrate 1, an elastomer 2, and a flexible inner lining layer 5. The elastomer 2 is disposed on the flexible substrate 1, and the two together constitute a shoe tongue body. By adding a plastic elastomer to the flexible substrate 1, the shoe tongue structure has a certain elasticity and strong support. The flexible inner lining layer 5 is disposed on the bottom surface of the flexible mesh fabric 1, allowing shoelaces to be threaded through.
[0024] The elastomer 2 has a through groove 3 located on the surface where it contacts the flexible substrate 1. The elastomer 2 includes an arc-shaped outward expansion 4. The through groove 3, located on the surface where it contacts the flexible substrate 1, allows for the threading of shoelaces. The arc-shaped outward expansion 4 effectively blocks the through groove 3, thus preventing liquid from seeping into the shoe.
[0025] See Figure 5-7 The tongue structure of this embodiment 2 is basically the same as that of embodiment 1. The difference is that two sets of symmetrically arranged elastic bodies 2 are designed on the flexible substrate 1, and the elastic bodies 2 have multiple spaced through grooves 3.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of the present utility model using the methods and techniques disclosed above, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the present utility model's technical solution. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure, and principle of the present utility model without departing from its technical solution should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
