DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The utility model is further explained in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] As Figure 1 , 2 The utility model discloses a kind of carbon plate-like socks, including sock body 1 and elastic pressure belt.Sock body 1 has plantar surface 2 corresponding with plantar surface.Elastic pressure belt is arranged on sock body 1, and at the position where elastic pressure belt is arranged, the force generated by elastic pressure belt to wearer foot is greater than the force generated by sock body 1 to wearer foot.In the embodiment, elastic pressure belt includes inside pressure belt 3, outside pressure belt 4, first oblique pressure belt 5, second oblique pressure belt 6 and transverse arch pressure belt 7, which can be independently arranged and also can be connected to each other.
[0028] The medial compression band 3 and the lateral compression band 4 are both located on the plantar surface 2 and are arranged along the length direction of the foot. The two ends of the medial compression band 3 are connected to the first metatarsophalangeal joint and the medial heel of the foot, respectively, and the two ends of the lateral compression band 4 are connected to the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint and the lateral heel of the foot, respectively.
[0029] When the foot wearing the sock lands, the arch of the foot pulls the medial compression band 3 and the lateral compression band 4 to stretch, and when the foot leaves the ground, the medial compression band 3 and the lateral compression band 4 rebound to exert pressure on the foot in the anterior-posterior direction, thereby contracting the medial longitudinal arch and the lateral longitudinal arch, increasing the stiffness of the longitudinal arch, and playing a role similar to a carbon plate. The force point of the wearer when leaving the ground is moved forward, increasing the length of the force arm. A longer force arm means that with the same force, a greater propulsion force can be generated, allowing the wearer to gain more kinetic energy each time the foot is lifted, and in all sports that require foot force, such as track and field, basketball, and football, the wearer's athletic level can be improved, and the wearer's sports performance can be improved.
[0030] Further, the transverse arch compression band 7 is wrapped around the position of the sock body 1 corresponding to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot. The transverse arch compression band 7 can promote the contraction of the transverse arch of the foot, thereby increasing the stiffness of the transverse arch. When the stiffness of the transverse arch increases, the stiffness of the longitudinal arch can be indirectly affected, achieving the purpose of assisting in improving the wearer's sports performance. In the present embodiment, the transverse arch compression band 7 is arranged in multiple turns along the length direction of the foot to sufficiently exert pressure on the transverse arch.
[0031] The first diagonal compression band 5 and the second diagonal compression band 6 are both arranged on the plantar surface 2 and are arranged in a cross shape, and the positions where they cross each other are preferably independent and not connected. The two ends of the first diagonal compression band 5 are connected to the first metatarsophalangeal joint and the lateral heel of the foot, respectively, and the two ends of the second diagonal compression band 6 are connected to the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint and the medial heel of the foot, respectively.
[0032] The first diagonal compression band 5 and the second diagonal compression band 6 arranged in a cross shape can effectively support the arch of the foot, prevent the arch from collapsing, increase the stability of the foot, reduce the shaking and twisting of the foot during exercise, and reduce the risk of injury during exercise.
[0033] In addition, the elastic support provided by the elastic compression band can also have a pushing effect, promoting the formation of the arch of the foot, improving the problem of flat feet and the problem of arch collapse after long-distance running. Compared with other rigid support methods, the elastic support provided by the elastic compression band is less likely to compress the blood vessels and nerves under the arch, and the comfort is better.
[0034] According to actual needs, the elastic compression band can be made of silica gel wire and fixed on the sock body 1 by brushing glue or hot pressing, or made of elastic yarn and knitted integrally with the sock body 1. The elastic compression band can be in a sheet structure, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 The elastic compression band can also be composed of a plurality of elastic wires 8 arranged side by side.
[0035] When the elastic compression band is composed of elastic wires 8, the diameters of the elastic wires 8 in the corresponding elastic compression band gradually decrease from the center of the elastic compression band to both sides of the elastic compression band along the arrangement direction of the elastic wires 8, and the spacing H between adjacent two elastic wires 8 gradually increases from the center of the elastic compression band to both sides of the elastic compression band along the arrangement direction of the elastic wires 8.
[0036] Taking the case that the transverse arch compression band 7 is composed of elastic wires 8 as an example, as shown in Figure 5 In this embodiment, the transverse arch compression band 7 is composed of a plurality of elastic wires 8 arranged side by side, and the center corresponds to the position of the metatarsophalangeal joint. These elastic wires 8 are divided into two groups, the first group of elastic wires 8a is thicker than the second group of elastic wires 8b, and the arrangement is relatively dense, the second group of elastic wires 8b is arranged on both sides of the first group of elastic wires 8a, and the arrangement is relatively sparse, the transverse arch compression band 7 composed of the elastic wires 8 conforms to the characteristics of the foot, and the effect of shrinking the transverse arch of the foot is better, and the performance improvement effect is better. Similarly, the inside compression band 3, the outside compression band 4, the first diagonal compression band 5 and the second diagonal compression band 6 are arranged in accordance with the arrangement rule that the elastic wires 8 in the middle are relatively thick and dense, and the elastic wires 8 on both sides are relatively thin and sparse, to conform to the structural characteristics and movement rules of the foot anatomy.
[0037] In this embodiment, the diameter of the elastic wire 8 is set to be between 0.5-5mm, and the spacing H between adjacent two elastic wires 8 is 1-5mm. Among them, the elastic wires 8 in the inside compression band 3 and the outside compression band 4 are relatively thick to provide the largest tension, the diameter of the thickest elastic wire 8 in the inside compression band 3 and the outside compression band 4 is 3-5mm, the diameter of the thinnest elastic wire 8 is 1-3mm, and the spacing H between adjacent two elastic wires 8 is 1-3mm.
[0038] In comparison, the elastic wires 8 in the first diagonal compression band 5 and the second diagonal compression band 6 are relatively thin and have relatively small tension. The diameter of the thickest elastic wire 8 in the first diagonal compression band 5 and the second diagonal compression band 6 is 2-4mm, the diameter of the thinnest elastic wire 8 is 0.5-2mm, and the spacing H between adjacent two elastic wires 8 is 1-3mm.
[0039] The elastic line 8 in the transverse arch compression band 7 is the thinnest and has the smallest tension. In the transverse arch compression band 7, the diameter of the thickest elastic line 8 is 1-3 mm, the diameter of the thinnest elastic line 8 is 0.5-1 mm, and the interval between two adjacent elastic lines 8 is 1.5-4 mm.
[0040] As can be seen from the above, the distribution position, the force size, the diameter and the arrangement density of the elastic line 8 of the elastic compression band all conform to the structural characteristics and the movement law of the foot anatomy, and the elastic compression band attached to the sock body 1 can effectively contract the arch of the foot, assist to improve the movement performance of the wearer, and at the same time, play the role of supporting the arch of the foot and preventing the arch of the foot from collapsing.
[0041] Although the utility model is specifically shown and introduced in combination with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made to the utility model in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model defined in the appended claims, and all the changes are within the protection scope of the utility model.
