Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of footwear technology, and in particular to a footwear with shock-absorbing function. Background Technology
[0002] Shoes protect the wearer's feet and facilitate walking. However, during walking, the soles of the shoes bear a significant impact on the ball of the foot and heel, which can easily lead to fatigue in these areas. Furthermore, after a period of wear, traditional shoe soles are prone to deformation under pressure, which in turn affects the comfort of the shoe. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a shoe with shock absorption functionality.
[0004] A shoe with shock absorption function includes a sole, the sole having a front and a back facing each other, and along the length direction, the sole having a ball area, an arch area and a heel area corresponding to the foot structure, and a positioning groove from the ball area to the heel area is arranged on the front of the sole, and a first shock-absorbing element is arranged in the positioning groove;
[0005] The positioning groove has a first sinking area at the position of the ball of the foot and a second sinking area at the position of the heel. A second shock absorber is arranged in the first sinking area and a third shock absorber is arranged in the second sinking area.
[0006] Several alternative methods are provided below, but they are not intended as additional limitations on the overall solution above. They are merely further additions or optimizations. Provided there are no technical or logical contradictions, each alternative method can be combined individually with respect to the overall solution above, or multiple alternative methods can be combined with each other.
[0007] Optionally, the second shock absorber is a hollow convex column.
[0008] Optionally, the hollow protrusion includes an annular sidewall and a top wall with a buffer hole in the middle.
[0009] Optionally, the top wall is flush with the surface of the positioning groove.
[0010] Optionally, the number of the second shock absorber is multiple, and they are distributed in a dot matrix pattern.
[0011] Optionally, the third shock absorber is a sheet-like structure adapted to the shape of the second sinking area.
[0012] Optionally, the back of the sole is provided with a plurality of anti-slip protrusions, which are arranged in the ball of the foot and the heel area.
[0013] Optionally, the sole extends upward at both ends along its length to form a first protective zone and a second protective zone.
[0014] Optionally, the arch area on the back of the sole is partially recessed, and the positioning groove has a third recessed area at the position of the arch area, with reinforcing ribs with a mesh structure arranged in the third recessed area.
[0015] Optionally, the sole has opposing inner and outer sides, and an anti-torsion reinforcement is arranged on the inner side of the back of the arch area.
[0016] The shoes with shock absorption function of this application have a first shock absorption component, a second shock absorption component set in the ball of the foot area, and a third shock absorption component set in the heel area. When the wearer's foot lands, the impact force on the ball of the foot and the heel is relatively large. At this time, under the action of the triple shock absorption component, the impact force can be effectively reduced, which has a good shock absorption effect, making the ball of the foot and the heel comfortable and the sole of the shoe not easily deformed.

When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or it may be set to a component in between.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0026] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number or order of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0027] In this application, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a system, product, or device that includes a series of units is not necessarily limited to those units that are explicitly listed, but may include other units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such products or devices.
[0028] See Figures 1-3 One embodiment of this application provides a shoe with shock absorption function, including a sole 100. For ease of understanding, the sole 100 of this application has a front 104 and a back 105, the back 105 is used to directly contact the ground, and the front 104 is used to fix and assemble the shoe with the upper.
[0029] Along the length direction, such as Figure 1 In the X direction, the sole 100 has a foot area 101, an arch area 102 and a heel area 103 that correspond to the foot structure and are arranged sequentially.
[0030] A positioning groove 110 is arranged on the front 104 of the sole 100, extending from the ball of the foot 101 to the heel 103. In order to provide shock absorption, a first shock absorber 200 is arranged in the positioning groove 110. In this embodiment, the first shock absorber 200 can be an elastic insole. The sole 100 can be made of rubber, and the insole can be made of existing supercritical materials.
[0031] Since the soles and heels are easily subjected to greater impact when walking, in order to reduce the impact in these areas, the positioning groove 110 of this application has a first recessed area 120 arranged in the sole area 101, and a second recessed area 130 arranged in the heel area 103. A second shock absorber 121 is arranged in the first recessed area 120, and a third shock absorber 131 is arranged in the second recessed area 130.
[0032] In one embodiment, the third shock absorber 131 is a sheet-like structure adapted to the shape of the second sinking area 130. Specifically, it can be a flat pad made of EVA material, and the surface of the flat pad is flush with the surface of the positioning groove 110, making it more aesthetically pleasing.
[0033] The shoes with shock absorption function of this application have a first shock absorber 200, a second shock absorber 121 and a third shock absorber 131. When the wearer's foot lands, the impact force on the ball of the foot and the heel is relatively large. At this time, under the action of the above three shock absorbers, the impact force can be effectively reduced, which has a good shock absorption effect, making the ball of the foot and the heel comfortable, and the sole is not easily deformed.
[0034] See Figures 1-3 The second shock absorber 121 is a hollow protruding post 122. The hollow protruding post 122 has good elastic expansion and contraction performance. When walking and pressing down, it can produce significant elastic deformation and has good recovery performance, thus having a good buffering and shock absorption effect. Figure 3 The hollow protruding post 122, as visible in the image, includes an annular sidewall 123 and a top wall 124 with a buffer hole 125 in the middle. The annular sidewall 123 forms radial support through a circumferentially continuous structure, which can produce uniform radial elastic expansion deformation under vertical pressure, while the buffer hole 125 allows the top wall 124 to produce axial concave deformation. In one embodiment, the top wall 124 is flush with the surface of the positioning groove 110, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall shape.
[0035] Of course, considering the need for even force distribution in the foot area 101 during downward pressure, the hollow protrusions 122 are numerous and distributed in a dot matrix pattern. For example... Figure 1 In the middle, the hollow convex pillars 122 are arranged in multiple groups along the width direction, and multiple groups are evenly distributed.
[0036] In one embodiment, the sole 100 extends upward at both ends along its length to form a first protective zone 170 and a second protective zone 180. The first protective zone 170 and the second protective zone 180 provide additional protection for the front and rear ends of the foot. When the foot is subjected to external impact, bumps, or compression, the protective zones can disperse the impact force, reducing the risk of injury to the toes, heels, and other areas, thus lowering the likelihood of injury. Simultaneously, during daily walking, the ends of the sole 100, especially the toes and heels, experience significant friction with the ground and are prone to wear. The design of the protective zones improves the wear resistance of the sole 100 and extends the lifespan of the shoe.
[0037] Additionally, the upward-extending protective layer increases the contact area and stability between the sole and the upper. During walking or exercise, this helps maintain the correct foot position within the shoe, preventing excessive slippage or displacement, allowing the wearer better control of their foot movements and improving stability during walking and exercise.
[0038] The sole 100 of this application also has an anti-slip function, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The back 105 of the sole 100 is provided with several anti-slip protrusions 150, which are located in the ball of the foot 101 and the heel area 103. As shown in the illustration, the anti-slip protrusions 150 are arranged in multiple groups along the width direction, with multiple groups in both the ball of the foot 101 and the heel area 103. To further enhance the anti-slip performance, anti-slip patterns 151 are provided on every other group of anti-slip protrusions 150.
[0039] In one embodiment, the arch area 102 of the back 105 of the sole 100 is partially recessed, and the positioning groove 110 has a third recessed area 140 at the position of the arch area 102. A reinforcing rib 141 with a mesh structure is arranged within the third recessed area 140. During walking or running, the foot naturally bends and extends. The recessed design provides sufficient space for these foot movements, while the mesh-structured reinforcing rib 141 adapts to the dynamic changes of the foot while ensuring support and stability, making the wearer feel more comfortable and at ease.
[0040] In one embodiment, the sole 100 has a medial side 106 and a lateral side 107, and an anti-torsion reinforcement plate 160 is arranged on the medial side 106 of the back of the arch area 102 105. The medial side 106 and lateral side 107 are relative; the medial side 106 refers to the portion of the sole 100 corresponding to the side of the feet facing each other when a person is standing normally, and the lateral side 107 refers to the portion of the sole 100 corresponding to the side of the feet facing away from each other. Because the anti-torsion reinforcement plate 160 is located on the medial side 106 of the arch area 102, close to the arch, it effectively limits the torsional deformation of the sole 100 in this area, providing additional support and protection for the arch. The hardness of the anti-torsion reinforcement plate 160 is greater than that of the sole 100.
[0041] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features of different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be regarded as the drawing also disclosing examples of combinations of the various embodiments involved.
[0042] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
