Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot orthotics, and more particularly to a novel foot orthopedic shoe. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of foot orthotics, precise arch support and personalized support play a crucial role in the correction of arch deformities and the recovery of foot function. Orthopedic shoes are usually used to provide targeted support for the arch and foot bones through special structures, gradually correcting foot deformities and adjusting the shape of the arch to make it closer to the normal physiological structure.

[0003] When using these shoes, a professional will first assess the user's foot condition and select a ready-made orthotic shoe of the corresponding size, or a style with a custom-made built-in fixed support structure. When the user wears the shoes daily, the fixed support and correction structure inside the shoes will directly apply support or correction force to the deformed parts of the foot without the need for self-adjustment. If the support force needs to be adjusted, it is often necessary to replace the support components of different sizes, or for a professional to modify the internal structure of the shoe with tools.

[0004] Considering that the arch support structure of existing orthotic shoes is mostly fixed, users can only passively rely on the preset support force during daily wear and cannot adjust the support intensity and fit independently. If adjustment is needed, different specifications of support components need to be replaced, and professional personnel need to be sought to modify the internal structure of the shoe with tools. The operation is cumbersome and lacks flexibility, which not only increases the cost of use and time, but also makes it difficult to accurately adapt to the dynamic needs of users at different stages of rehabilitation. Therefore, a new type of orthotic shoe is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel orthotic shoe, including a sole 1. The sole 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire orthotic shoe, providing an mounting carrier for other components and ensuring the stability and support of the shoe body. A lifting plate 3 is hinged to the middle of the inner surface of the sole 1. The lifting plate 3 is used to support the arch of the foot, and the degree of arch support can be adjusted by a flipping action to fit the arc structure of the arch and improve the orthotic fit when wearing the shoe. A threaded component 5 is hinged to the bottom of the outer surface of the lifting plate 3 through a hinge rod 6. The hinge rod 6 connects the lifting plate 3 and the threaded component 5, converting the lateral movement of the threaded component 5 into the flipping action of the lifting plate 3, realizing the transmission of force and the conversion of the motion form. The bottom of the inner surface of part 5 is threaded with a threaded rod 4. The rotation of the threaded rod 4 is converted into the power for the lateral movement of the threaded part 5 through the threaded connection. The outer surface of the threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner surface of the sole 1. The sole 1 provides a rotation support point for the threaded rod 4 to ensure its stability during rotation. The front end of the outer surface of the threaded rod 4 is fixedly connected to an internal hexagonal knob 8. The internal hexagonal knob 8 provides an operating interface for the user. The threaded rod 4 can be easily rotated by an external hexagonal wrench to achieve convenient adjustment operation. The outer surface of the internal hexagonal knob 8 is rotatably connected to the front of the inner surface of the sole 1. The sole 1 provides space and support for the internal hexagonal knob 8 to be rotated and installed, ensuring its structural stability during rotation.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3A dust plug 7 is hinged to the front of the outer surface of the sole 1. The dust plug 7 is used to seal the operating area at the front of the sole 1 to prevent dust and debris from entering the interior of the sole 1 and to avoid malfunction of the adjustment mechanism due to interference from foreign objects. The outer surface of the dust plug 7 is inserted into the front of the inner surface of the sole 1. The sole 1 provides an insertion installation structure for the dust plug 7 to ensure the tightness of the dust plug 7 when sealing. The top of the outer surface of the hinge rod 6 is hinged to the bottom of the outer surface of the lifting plate 3. This hinge connection allows the hinge rod 6 to rotate flexibly with the flipping of the lifting plate 3, ensuring the smooth transmission of force and adapting to the movement trajectory of the lifting plate 3. The bottom of the outer surface of the hinge rod 6 is hinged to the top of the outer surface of the threaded part 5. This hinge connection allows the hinge rod 6 to rotate flexibly with the lateral movement of the threaded part 5, effectively converting the linear movement of the threaded part 5 into the flipping movement of the lifting plate 3.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-2 The upper 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the sole 1. The upper 2 is used to wrap the foot and provide a comfortable wearing experience. At the same time, it works with the support plate 3 to effectively support the arch of the foot when the support plate 3 moves, so as to realize the orthopedic function. The support plate 3 is designed to be arc-shaped. The arc-shaped support plate 3 fits the physiological structure of the human foot arch better and can provide more even support when supporting the arch of the foot, thereby improving the comfort and effectiveness of the orthopedic function. The top of the outer surface of the support plate 3 is in contact with the bottom of the outer surface of the upper 2. This contact connection allows the movement of the support plate 3 to act directly on the upper 2 and then be transmitted to the foot to realize the support and adjustment of the arch of the foot.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-2 A limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the rear of the outer surface of the threaded rod 4. The outer surface of the limiting plate 9 is rotatably connected to the rear of the inner surface of the sole 1. The limiting plate 9 is used to restrict the axial movement of the threaded rod 4, ensuring that the threaded rod 4 only rotates during rotation, and avoiding the impact of axial displacement on the transmission with the threaded part 5. An easy-release groove 10 is provided at the front end of the outer surface of the sole 1. The easy-release groove 10 provides a convenient force application point for the user, making it easy for the user to quickly remove the dust plug 7 for subsequent adjustment operations. The easy-release groove 10 is crescent-shaped. The design conforms to the human hand's natural force application habits, making it easier to remove the dust plug 7 and improving ease of operation. The top of the outer surface of the shoe upper 2 has shoelace holes 11 for threading shoelaces, which tightly fix the shoe upper 2 to the foot, ensuring a good fit when worn. Combined with the orthopedic structure, it achieves a better orthopedic effect. The top of the outer surface of the shoe upper 2 is fixedly connected to the shoe tongue 12, which fills the gap between the shoe upper 2 and the foot, improving wearing comfort, avoiding pressure on the foot from the shoelaces, and enhancing the overall integrity of the shoe upper 2.

[0029] When adjusting the arch support of the orthotic shoe, first remove the dust plug 7 through the easy-release groove 10, then insert an external hex wrench into the internal hex knob 8 and rotate the internal hex knob 8 to make the threaded rod 4 rotate. Because the threaded part 5 is in a through-threaded relationship with the threaded rod 4, the threaded part 5 moves laterally along the inner surface of the sole 1. When the threaded part 5 moves laterally, it will cause the lifting plate 3 to flip upward through the hinge rod 6 at its top and the hinge at the bottom of the lifting plate 3 inside the sole 1, thus lifting or contracting the arch position of the shoe upper 2 to adjust the arch support.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
