[0032] 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.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a modular air-conditioning shoe sole, comprising an outsole 1 and a functional layer 2 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The functional layer 2 includes an upper cover 21, an elastomer 22, and a bottom plate 23. A sealed cavity 24 for placing the elastomer 22 is formed between the upper cover 21 and the bottom plate 23. The upper cover 21 is provided with an air intake one-way valve 25 that can pass through the inside of the shoe and the sealed cavity 24. The upper cover 21 is also provided with an exhaust one-way valve 26 that can pass through the outside of the shoe and the sealed cavity 24. The upper cover 21 and the bottom plate 23 are fixedly connected, and the functional layer 2 and the outsole 1 are detachably connected.
[0035] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, when walking, the weight of the human body compresses the elastic body 22, reducing the volume of the sealed cavity 24. This allows the gas in the sealed cavity 24 to be expelled from the shoe only through the exhaust one-way valve 26. When lifting the foot, the weight removes the pressure, and the elastic body 22 returns to its original shape. As the volume of the sealed cavity 24 recovers, the heat, moisture, and odor inside the shoe are automatically drawn into the sealed cavity 24 through the intake one-way valve 25. This achieves the circulation and expulsion of air from the shoe. Therefore, this sole can automatically draw in air from the shoe and expel it when a person walks, maintaining a reasonable temperature regulation inside the shoe and keeping the air inside dry and fresh.
[0036] The specific structure of the intake one-way valve 25 and the exhaust one-way valve 26 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. They can be existing one-way valve structures or the structures described later. The elastomer 22 is usually made of porous elastic sponge, which is a common choice in current air-conditioned shoes.
[0037] It should be noted that functional layer 2 should be understood as a single module, part of the sole, or similar to the "midsole + topsole" in traditional soles. It is a detachable assembly with outsole 1, so both outsole 1 and functional layer 2 can be considered modular components, allowing for adaptive replacement for different styles or types of soles. For example, functional layer 2 of the same specifications can be installed on different types of outsole 1 (such as athletic, casual, or business soles) (or outsole 1 made of different materials, such as foam or traditional rubber). Similarly, outsole 1 of the same specifications can accommodate functional layer 2 of different specifications (e.g., functional layers 2 with different shock absorption / rebound coefficients can be freely selected).
[0038] Therefore, this technical solution integrates the air conditioning function into a single module based on existing air-conditioned shoes, making it easy to combine with different outsoles 1 to form shoe soles with different functions, without losing the air conditioning function, and also to meet the current rapid production needs of customized shoes.
[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the suction one-way valve 25 includes a suction hole 251 on the upper surface of the upper cover 21 and a plug 252 on the bottom plate 23 for sealing the suction hole 251. The suction hole 251 and the plug 252 are aligned vertically, and the elastic body 22 is provided with a clearance hole 221 through which the plug 252 can pass.
[0040] As an optional implementation of this utility model, when the user steps down, the upper cover 21 descends due to gravity, causing the plug 252 to pass through the clearance hole in the elastic body 22 and connect to the air intake 251, thereby blocking the air intake 251. This ensures that during the exhaust process, the gas in the sealed cavity 24 will not enter the shoe through the air intake 251, ensuring the "air conditioning" function is effective. The plug 252 and clearance hole can also have multiple sealing structures. For example, the plug 252 and the air intake hole can be conical or arc-shaped, a sealing ring is provided around the plug 252 on the bottom plate 23, and a sealing groove is provided on the lower surface of the upper cover 21 around the air intake 251 to cooperate with the sealing ring. This structure can improve the sealing performance of the one-way valve 25 during the exhaust process. When the user lifts their foot, the upper cover 21 is raised according to the elasticity of the elastic body 22, causing the plug 252 to separate from the air intake 251, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the air intake function.
[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the exhaust check valve 26 is located on the outer edge of the functional layer 2.
[0042] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the exhaust one-way valve 26 releases gas from the sealed cavity 24 to the outside of the shoe. Therefore, the advantage of designing the exhaust one-way valve 26 on the outer edge of the functional layer 2 is that the exhaust function is not affected after the sole and the entire shoe are assembled. This technical solution does not limit the specific direction of the exhaust one-way valve 26 in the functional layer 2 or its installation in any structure within the functional layer 2; it can be on the top cover 21 (described later) or on other structures within the functional layer 2.
[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, the exhaust check valve 26 includes an exhaust passage 261 that communicates with the sealed cavity 24 and a valve 262 disposed in the exhaust passage 261. The valve 262 closes the exhaust passage 261 in its natural state and opens the exhaust passage 261 when subjected to airflow impact.
[0044] As an optional implementation of this utility model, when the user steps down, the volume of the sealed cavity 24 decreases, and the gas cannot flow out from the aforementioned one-way valve 25. The air pressure increases, causing the valve 262 to be opened by the airflow, allowing the gas in the sealed cavity 24 to be released from the outlet channel 261 to the outside of the shoe. When the gas in the sealed cavity 24 is released or when the user lifts their foot, the air pressure in the sealed cavity 24 decreases, so the valve 262 re-closes the outlet channel 261, preventing gas from being drawn into the sealed cavity 24 from the outlet channel 261. This ensures that the gas inside the shoe always maintains a unidirectional flow direction from the functional layer 2 to the outside of the shoe, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the air conditioning function.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, valve 262 has a diaphragm structure and is integrally formed with the upper cover 21 and the air outlet channel 261.
[0046] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the advantage of designing the air outlet channel 261 on the upper cover 21 and molding it integrally is that it is convenient to manufacture, and the higher position of the air outlet channel 261 makes it less prone to water ingress. The specific shape of the air outlet channel 261 can be L-shaped as shown in the figure, or other shapes, preferably an L-shaped channel with the outlet facing upwards, to avoid affecting the assembly of the shoe and to improve waterproofing. Those skilled in the art can also design the air outlet on the side of the air outlet channel 261, or make the air outlet hidden, to further improve the waterproofing of the exhaust one-way valve 26; the shape and structure of the air outlet channel 261 can also be positioned and matched with the outsole 1, that is, the outsole 1 has a positioning groove on the heel 11 that can match the air outlet channel 261, making the assembly of the outsole 1 and the functional layer 2 more secure.
[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the air outlet channel 261 is located on the side of the upper cover 21 near the rear heel 11.
[0048] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, designing the air outlet channel 261 in the heel 11 significantly reduces the aesthetic defects of the shoe caused by the exposed design of the exhaust one-way valve 26, and is less likely to affect the user's walking compared to designing it in other parts.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper cover 21 and the bottom plate 23 are fixedly connected together by an adhesive sheet 27, and the inner wall of the sealed cavity 24 is provided with an airflow groove 241.
[0050] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the adhesive sheet 27 is mainly made of rubber, which is a commonly used technical solution in the field of air-conditioned shoes. In this technical solution, it mainly facilitates the assembly of the upper cover 21 and the bottom plate 23, thereby completing the construction of the sealed cavity 24. The design of the airflow groove 241 is mainly to facilitate the rapid flow of gas in the sealed space, and to avoid the gas flow being obstructed and affecting the air exhaust after the volume of the sealed cavity 24 is compressed.
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer edge of functional layer 2 protrudes outward and matches the inner wall of the outsole 1.
[0052] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the outer edge of the functional layer 2 protrudes outward to form a mating structure that can be embedded and installed with the base plate 1. For the functional layer 2 and the base plate 1, which are usually elastic and soft, quick and relatively firm assembly is possible. The outward protrusion shape of the outer edge of the functional layer 2 can be a triangular structure or other shapes, which are intended to improve the installation stability between the functional layer 2 and the base plate 23.
[0053] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the upper surface of the cover 21 is provided with a surface layer 28, and elastic protrusions 281 are distributed in an array on the surface layer 28. A through hole 282 communicating with the interior of the elastic protrusion 281 is provided between adjacent elastic protrusions 281.
[0054] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, when the elastic protrusion 281 is stepped on, the internal cavity of the elastic protrusion 281 is compressed, and the gas inside the elastic protrusion 281 is discharged through the through hole 282. When the external force on the elastic protrusion 281 is released, the gas re-enters the internal cavity of the elastic protrusion 281. This allows the air inside the shoe to circulate internally while the user is walking, without affecting the ventilation function of the air-conditioned shoe itself. Of course, these elastic protrusions 281 also have the function of massaging the user's feet.
[0055] Example 2:
[0056] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 8 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a modular air-conditioning shoe, including the above-mentioned modular air-conditioning shoe sole, and also including a magnet 3 disposed on the shoe sole.
[0057] As an optional implementation of this utility model, the application of magnet 3 to shoes for health benefits is already a well-known existing technology, and this technical solution will not elaborate on this.
[0058] The working principle and usage of this invention are as follows: When walking, the weight of the human body compresses the elastic body 22, reducing the volume of the sealed cavity 24. This allows the gas in the sealed cavity 24 to be expelled from the shoe only through the exhaust one-way valve 26. When lifting the foot, the weight removes the pressure, and the elastic body 22 returns to its original shape. As the volume of the sealed cavity 24 recovers, the heat, moisture, and odor inside the shoe are automatically drawn into the sealed cavity 24 through the intake one-way valve 25. This achieves the circulation and expulsion of air from the shoe. Therefore, this sole can automatically draw in air from the shoe and expel it when a person walks, maintaining a reasonable temperature regulation inside the shoe and keeping the air inside dry and fresh.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
