Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of materials science and engineering technology, and in particular to a highly elastic, lightweight foamed rubber shoe sole. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, consumers have placed higher demands on the comfort, safety, and functionality of footwear products. As a key component of footwear that directly contacts the ground, bears the weight of the body, and cushions impact, the sole's material properties and structural design have a decisive influence on the overall wearing experience. In recent years, lightweight foamed rubber, due to its excellent elasticity, abrasion resistance, and weight reduction properties, has been widely used in various fields such as sports shoes, casual shoes, and medical rehabilitation shoes, becoming an important choice for high-performance sole materials.

[0003] However, existing lightweight foamed rubber soles still present some technical challenges in practical use. On the one hand, traditional soles are generally molded from a single elastic material, lacking structural design for impact mitigation. This results in limited impact absorption for the foot, especially the heel and forefoot, during walking or strenuous exercise, easily leading to fatigue and discomfort, and affecting wearing comfort. On the other hand, while some soles incorporate anti-slip textures to improve grip and stability, they are still prone to slipping on wet, rough, or uneven surfaces. Furthermore, the sole's simple design does not conform well to different foot shapes, affecting stability and walking safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the technical defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a highly elastic lightweight foamed rubber shoe sole.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: it includes an outer strip, a bottom block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer strip, a pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom block, a buffer post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pad, a top block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer post, a patch is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top block, a bonding groove is fixedly connected to the bottom of the patch, and a heel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bonding groove.

[0006] Preferably, a patch is fixedly provided at the upper end of the heel, and a pad is provided at the upper end of the patch.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the heel is the main support part of the rear of the shoe sole. The patch at the top can enhance the structural stability and wear resistance of the heel. A pad is then placed on top of the patch to further improve the cushioning effect and reduce foot pressure when walking.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the gasket is provided with an outer strip, which is made of latex material.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the pad is installed inside the sole, which can cushion and absorb shock, and distribute pressure, making the foot feel more comfortable; the outer strip at the top is made of latex material, which is soft and elastic, further enhancing the flexibility and comfort of the sole, and also improving a certain degree of wear resistance.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom array of the heel has a plurality of anti-slip strips.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the heel is supported at the back of the sole, and its bottom array is equipped with many anti-slip strips. These anti-slip strips can increase the friction between the sole and the ground, making it less likely for people to slip when walking or running, and improving walking safety.

[0012] Preferably, both the gasket and the top block are hexagonal in shape.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the pad inside the sole can buffer pressure and disperse impact, making it more comfortable to walk on; the top block can provide additional support and enhance the stability of the sole structure. Both are made into hexagons, which allows them to better fit other parts of the sole, improving the overall structural tightness and stability, and also dispersing pressure from all directions to a certain extent.

[0014] Preferably, the buffer post is located below the base block, and the bottom of the buffer post is provided with a heel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom block provides basic support in the sole, and the cushioning column is below it. When walking or exercising, it can cushion the impact of the ground on the sole through its own deformation, reducing the burden on the feet. The bottom of the cushioning column is connected to the heel, which can further stabilize the sole structure. The two work together to give the sole both good cushioning performance and stability when walking.

[0016] Preferably, the cushioning post is located at the heel of the foot and is arranged along the width of the pad.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cushioning post is placed at the heel position because the heel bears a large impact when walking or running. It can cushion these impacts and reduce foot pressure through its own elastic deformation. Arranging it along the width of the pad makes the cushioning effect more uniform. Together with the pad, it further improves the overall cushioning performance and stability of the sole, making the foot feel more comfortable.

[0018] Preferably, the maximum height of the buffer column is 1-3 mm, and the central angle of the gasket is 110-160 degrees.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the maximum height of the cushioning column is set to 1-3mm. This height range ensures that when walking or exercising, it can effectively cushion the impact force on the sole of the foot through moderate deformation, without affecting the overall structure and stability of the sole due to excessive height. The central angle of the pad is 110-160 degrees. This angle can better fit the contour of the foot, dispersing pressure and providing cushioning while also improving the wearing experience.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. This utility model, by setting up components such as buffer columns and pads, and through the cooperation between the buffer column components and the pad components, enables the buffer column to buffer the impact force from the ground through its own elastic deformation. By cooperating with the buffer column and the pad, it can solve the technical problem of excessive impact force on the foot during walking or sports, causing foot discomfort, and improve wearing comfort.

[0022] 2. This utility model, by setting anti-slip strips, fitting grooves and other components, and through the cooperation between the anti-slip strip components and the fitting groove components, enables the anti-slip strips to increase the friction between the sole and the ground, and the fitting grooves to better conform to the contours of the foot. Through the cooperation of the anti-slip strips and the fitting grooves, the technical problems of the sole being easy to slip when walking and poor fit with the foot can be solved, thereby improving walking safety and wearing comfort.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] This embodiment provides a highly elastic, lightweight foamed rubber shoe sole.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A high-elasticity, lightweight foamed rubber shoe sole includes an outer strip 1, a bottom block 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer strip 1, a pad 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom block 2, a cushioning post 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the pad 3, a top block 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cushioning post 4, a patch 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top block 5, a bonding groove 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the patch 6, and a heel 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the bonding groove 7.

[0032] It needs to be explained that the top layer of this high-elasticity, lightweight foamed rubber sole is the outer strip 1, which provides basic protection and wrapping. The bottom of the outer strip 1 is firmly fixed to the bottom block 2, which provides initial support for the sole and makes it stable. Below the bottom block 2 is the pad 3, which further disperses the pressure on the sole of the foot and cushions some of the impact from the ground, making walking more comfortable. The bottom of the pad 3 is connected to the cushioning post 4. When walking or running, the cushioning post 4 can effectively reduce the impact of the ground on the foot through its own elastic deformation, protecting the foot joints. Below the cushioning post 4 is the top block 5, which reasonably transmits the force of the cushioning post 4. Below the top block 5 is the patch 6, which increases the stability of the sole structure. The bottom of the patch 6 is connected to the fitting groove 7, which can better conform to the contour of the foot. The bottommost part is the heel 8, which provides support for the heel and ensures balance and stability when walking.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A patch 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the heel 8, and a gasket 3 is installed on the upper end of the patch 6.

[0034] It should be explained that the heel 8 bears most of the pressure when the heel lands, and the patch 6 fixed at the top can enhance the structural strength of the heel, making the sole more durable. At the same time, it can also disperse the impact force on the heel to a certain extent. The pad 3 set at the top of the patch 6 is soft and has a certain degree of elasticity, which can further cushion the pressure on the sole of the foot and reduce foot fatigue when walking or exercising.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The upper end of the gasket 3 is provided with an outer strip 1, which is made of latex material.

[0036] It needs to be explained that the pad 3 is used for cushioning and shock absorption. It has an outer strip 1 at its upper end, which is made of latex material. The outer strip 1 can deform along with the material, which can absorb some of the impact. The latex material is also relatively wear-resistant, making the sole more durable.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The bottom array structure of the 8 at the back has several anti-slip strips.

[0038] It should be explained that there are several anti-slip strips on the bottom of the heel. These anti-slip strips can greatly increase the friction between the sole and the ground, reducing the risk of falling and getting injured.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Both the gasket 3 and the top block 5 are hexagonal in shape.

[0040] It should be explained that the pad 3 in the sole is mainly used for cushioning and distributing pressure, while the top block 5 provides additional support and enhances the stability of the sole structure. Designing both pad 3 and top block 5 as hexagons allows them to fit better with other components in the sole, making the entire sole structure more compact. The hexagonal shape distributes force more evenly in all directions, so whether it is the forward push when walking or the downward impact when landing, they can steadily distribute and bear the force, making the sole less prone to deformation and more durable.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The buffer pillar 4 is located below the bottom block 2, and the bottom of the buffer pillar 4 is provided with a heel 8.

[0042] It should be explained that the bottom block 2 provides basic support for the entire sole. The cushioning pillar 4 is arranged below the bottom block 2. The cushioning pillar 4 can cushion part of the impact force of the ground on the sole of the foot through its own elastic deformation, reducing the burden on the foot. At the bottom of the cushioning pillar 4, there is also a heel 8. The heel 8 can further stabilize the structure of the sole, making the sole more balanced when bearing force. It can also work with the cushioning pillar 4 to provide better cushioning and support when the heel lands, making every step comfortable and stable.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The cushioning post 4 is located at the heel of the foot and is arranged along the width of the pad 3.

[0044] It should be explained that the heel bears the greatest impact when walking, running and jumping. The cushioning post 4 can directly cushion the impact force when landing. It is arranged along the width of the pad 3, so no matter how the foot is subjected to force when landing, the pressure can be evenly distributed, making every step more stable and comfortable.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The maximum height of the buffer column 4 is 1-3mm, and the central angle of the pad 3 is 110-160 degrees.

[0046] It should be explained that the height of the cushioning post 4 is controlled between 1-3mm, which ensures sufficient elasticity to cushion the impact of landing without making the sole too thick and affecting the feel of the foot. The central angle of the pad 3 is between 110-160 degrees, which can conform to the arch of the foot and evenly distribute the pressure, making walking more comfortable.

[0047] The implementation principle of a high-elasticity, lightweight foamed rubber shoe sole in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0048] First, when a person walks or exercises wearing these high-elasticity, lightweight foam rubber soles, the foot first comes into contact with the outer strip 1 of the sole. The outer strip 1 provides basic protection and wrapping, and its latex material is soft and elastic, deforming when the foot steps down to reduce the direct force on the sole and initially transfer the force to the underlying block 2. The underlying block 2 provides initial support to the sole, giving the foot a stable point of contact, while simultaneously transferring the force to the underlying pad 3.

[0049] Secondly, the pad 3 provides cushioning and shock absorption. Its central angle is between 110 and 160 degrees, conforming to the arch of the foot to further distribute pressure on the sole and cushion the impact from the ground. The pad 3 transfers force to the cushioning posts 4 located at the heel of the foot and arranged along its width. The maximum height of the cushioning posts 4 is 1-3mm. During walking and running, their elastic deformation effectively reduces the impact on the foot, protecting the foot joints. The cushioning posts 4 then transfer the force to the top block 5, which provides support and distributes the force effectively.

[0050] Finally, the top block 5 transfers force to the patch 6, which increases the stability of the sole structure and then transfers the force to the fitting groove 7. The fitting groove 7 better conforms to the contours of the foot and then transfers the force to the heel 8, which provides support for the heel, ensuring balance and stability during walking. Simultaneously, the patch 6 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the heel 8 enhances the structural strength of the heel and disperses the impact force on the heel. The array of anti-slip strips on the bottom of the shoe significantly increases the friction between the sole and the ground on wet surfaces, preventing slippage, reducing the risk of falls and injuries, and making walking safer.

[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention as claimed, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
