Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber shoe sole technology, specifically to semi-transparent thermoplastic rubber shoe soles. Background Technology

[0002] Semi-transparent thermoplastic rubber soles are made of thermoplastic rubber, a type of high-molecular polymer that combines the softness and elasticity of rubber with the heat-processability of plastics. Their semi-transparent nature stems from the material formulation and processing technology. By controlling the polymer molecular structure and adding specific additives, light can partially penetrate the sole, creating a hazy, translucent effect that meets the demands of fashion design.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application number 202121748437.5 discloses a high-strength thermoplastic elastomer shoe sole, comprising a shoe sole, a first anti-slip and wear-resistant layer fixed on the lower surface of the shoe sole, a padding groove formed on the upper surface of the shoe sole, a natural rubber layer at the upper end and around the shoe sole, an adhesive rubber layer fixedly bonded to the lower surface of the natural rubber layer, and an air rubber layer fixedly bonded to the lower surface of the adhesive rubber layer.

[0004] While the high-strength thermoplastic elastomer sole enhances elasticity and flexibility through its heel padding, preventing heel pain during exercise, its reliance solely on this padding results in uneven impact distribution across the foot. This limited coverage of critical areas like the forefoot and arch means that the impact on these areas is not adequately cushioned and dispersed upon foot strike, significantly reducing the overall cushioning effectiveness.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a translucent thermoplastic rubber sole. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a translucent thermoplastic rubber sole, which solves the problem that the existing device only provides shock absorption through the rear pad at the back of the sole, resulting in poor overall shock absorption effect on the foot.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a translucent thermoplastic rubber sole, including a sole, wherein the top of the sole is provided with a shoe edge;

[0008] The sole comprises a bottom layer, a middle layer, and a top layer. The middle layer has a linear array of buffer holes in the middle of its sidewall. The top surface of the top layer has a support block near the arch of the foot. Shock-absorbing pads are provided on both the front and back sides of the top surface of the top layer.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom layer, the middle layer, the top layer, the edge and the support block are integrally formed and are made of translucent thermoplastic rubber, wherein the edge is connected to the upper and the support block supports the arch of the wearer.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the top layer is provided with a circular groove on each of the front and rear sides, the bottom surface of the circular groove is provided with uniformly distributed accommodation holes, and the shock pad is attached to the inside of the circular groove, wherein the accommodation holes are arranged to allow the shock pad to deform into the accommodation holes when the shock pad is compressed, thereby providing shock absorption for the forefoot and the hind foot of the wearer.

[0011] Preferably, the top surface of the shock pad is flush with the top surface of the top layer, and the shock pad is made of TPU material, wherein the TPU material has high strength, high elasticity, good wear resistance, excellent impact resistance and shock absorption effect.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom surface of the bottom layer is provided with anti-skid grooves arranged in a linear array, and the cross section of the bottom layer is semicircular, wherein the bottom layer can increase the friction between the bottom layer and the ground, and the semicircular bottom layer can quickly drain water between the sole and the ground, so that when the sole is compressed, the water is squeezed into the grooves and quickly flows to both sides through the arc structure of the anti-skid grooves, thereby reducing the formation of a water film between the sole and the ground and avoiding slipping due to the lubricating effect of water.

[0013] The present application provides a translucent thermoplastic rubber sole, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The translucent thermoplastic rubber sole can absorb the force generated by the ground on the foot through the deformation of the buffer hole, and the shock pad can deform into the accommodation hole, thereby providing shock absorption for the forefoot and the hind foot of the wearer. The buffer hole and the shock pad can provide comprehensive shock absorption for the sole of the wearer, thereby improving the comfort of the wearer and solving the problem of poor overall shock absorption of the existing device.

[0015] 2. The translucent thermoplastic rubber sole can increase the friction between the bottom layer and the ground, and the semicircular bottom layer can quickly drain water between the sole and the ground when the sole is compressed, thereby reducing the formation of a water film between the sole and the ground and achieving the purpose of avoiding slipping due to the lubricating effect of water.
