Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe uppers, and in particular to a ventilated shoe upper. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing technologies for achieving ventilation in shoes mainly employ two methods: using breathable fabrics or adding ventilation devices inside the shoe.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems: While using breathable fabrics to achieve ventilation can promote air circulation to some extent, the breathability of the fabric decreases with use and it easily absorbs sweat and dirt, resulting in poor breathability after washing. Furthermore, its waterproof performance is poor; in rainy or humid environments, moisture easily seeps into the shoe, affecting the wearing experience. Adding a ventilation device inside the shoe requires components such as a motor and fan, increasing the shoe's weight and reducing wearing comfort. The ventilation device also occupies space inside the shoe, reducing internal space and restricting foot movement. In addition, the energy consumption of this device is a significant issue, requiring frequent charging or battery replacements, making it inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a ventilated shoe upper to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a ventilated shoe upper to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a ventilable shoe upper, comprising an upper, wherein an installation groove is provided through the front end of either side of the upper, and an air intake structure is fixedly installed in the installation groove; and an air outlet is provided through the rear end of either side of the upper. The air intake structure comprises a shell, which is fixedly installed in the installation groove; a first installation block is fixedly installed at the top of the shell; a second installation block is fixedly installed at the middle corner of the shell; and a third installation block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shell; a first guide plate is fixedly installed between the first and second installation blocks; and a second guide plate is fixedly installed between the second and third installation blocks.

[0007] Preferably, the embedding structure is detachably embedded in the mounting groove and fits against the outer shell. The embedding structure includes a first embedding plate, a second embedding plate, and a connecting rope. The first embedding plate is connected to the second embedding plate through the connecting rope. The first embedding plate is embedded in the upper half of the mounting groove and fits against the upper half of the outer shell. The second embedding plate is embedded in the lower half of the mounting groove and fits against the lower half of the outer shell.

[0008] Preferably, the first guide vane is mounted in an array between the first mounting block and the second mounting block at an angle of 10°-80°.

[0009] Preferably, there are no fewer than two first guide vanes, and the distance between two adjacent first guide vanes is no less than 0.2 cm.

[0010] Preferably, the angle and number of the second guide vane correspond to those of the first guide vane.

[0011] Preferably, the first and second embedded plates are made of the same type of rubber.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features an upper that allows external airflow to quickly enter the air intake structure within the groove at the front of the shoe when the wearer runs. The air intake structure includes a first and second guide plate arranged in an inclined array, which effectively guides the airflow into the shoe in an orderly manner, avoiding airflow turbulence. At the same time, each adjacent first and second guide plate has a spacing of not less than 0.2 cm, ensuring sufficient air intake.

[0014] The orderly airflow entering the shoe is ultimately exhausted through the vent at the rear of the upper, forming an efficient air convection circulation. In addition, the detachable embedded structure consists of a first embedded plate and a second embedded plate made of rubber. The air intake structure can be closed when ventilation is not needed to prevent debris from entering, and can be removed when ventilation is needed for running, fully meeting the needs of different usage scenarios and comprehensively improving the comfort and practicality of wearing the shoe.

[0015] This invention solves the problems of traditional shoes using breathable fabrics, such as decreased breathability with use, easy absorption of stains, poor waterproofing, and the problem of shoes becoming bulky, having less internal space, and consuming more energy due to the addition of ventilation devices.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this utility model provides a ventilated shoe upper, including an upper 1. A mounting groove 2 is provided through the front end of either side of the upper 1. The mounting groove 2 is used to install an air intake structure 3. Since the mounting groove 2 is through-hole located on either side of the upper 1, outside air can flow through the air intake structure 3 into the shoe and exit through the air outlet 4, achieving a ventilation effect. The air intake structure 3 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 2. The air intake structure 3 effectively guides the airflow into the shoe in an orderly manner, avoiding the problem of poor ventilation caused by turbulent airflow. An air outlet 4 is provided through the rear end of either side of the upper 1. It should be noted that the air outlet 4 can be a ventilated hole through the upper or an air vent grille through the upper. The air outlet 4, together with the air intake structure 3, facilitates airflow. After the external airflow enters the shoe through the air intake structure 3, it carries heat and is discharged from the air outlet 4. The air intake structure 3 includes an outer shell 31, which is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 2. The outer shell 31 is used for installation and connection. A first mounting block 32 is fixedly installed at the top inside the outer shell 31, a second mounting block 33 is fixedly installed at the middle corner inside the outer shell 31, and a third mounting block 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the outer shell 31. A first guide plate 35 is fixedly installed between the first mounting block 32 and the second mounting block 33, and a second guide plate 36 is fixedly installed between the second mounting block 33 and the third mounting block 34. In addition to serving the functions of installation and connection, the first mounting block 32, the second mounting block 33, and the third mounting block 34 are also used to increase the overall strength of the outer shell 31 and prevent the outer shell 31 from being easily deformed by external forces.

[0024] The first guide plate 35 is installed in an array at an angle of 10°-80° between the first mounting block 32 and the second mounting block 33. In this embodiment, the first guide plate 35 is installed in an array at an angle of 45° between the first mounting block 32 and the second mounting block 33. When the wearer runs, the external airflow will be guided to a downward direction by the 45° angle of the guide plate 35, so that the airflow is closer to the foot and flows to the main area of ​​the foot that produces sweat (such as the sole and toes) located in the bottom of the shoe, which quickly removes moisture and improves ventilation efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the 45° tilt angle of the first deflector 35 disperses airflow into different areas inside the shoe, preventing excessively high or low local air pressure. If the first deflector 35 were vertically positioned, the airflow might concentrate at a single point inside the shoe, resulting in insufficient ventilation in other areas.

[0026] In this embodiment, four first air deflectors 35 are used, with a spacing of 0.2 cm between two adjacent first air deflectors 35. The four first air deflectors 35 form three rows of parallel channels, significantly increasing the number of paths for airflow to enter the shoe. When the wearer runs, external airflow can be simultaneously introduced into the shoe through multiple independent channels, avoiding airflow congestion caused by excessive flow on a single path, thereby improving the overall air intake.

[0027] The 0.2cm gap between the two adjacent first air deflectors 35 effectively balances ventilation performance and practical needs. On the one hand, the reasonable gap ensures that airflow can smoothly enter the shoe through the air intake structure, avoiding increased airflow resistance and reduced ventilation efficiency due to excessively narrow gaps, while also preventing small debris from accumulating and blocking the channel. On the other hand, the 0.2cm gap forms a moderate physical barrier, which can block larger particles (such as sand and pebbles) from entering the shoe, ensuring cleanliness inside the shoe. Moreover, this gap facilitates later cleaning and maintenance. Users can easily remove dust from the gaps with a soft brush or air gun, combining practicality and convenience.

[0028] The second guide plate 36 is set with an angle and number that correspond to the first embedded plate 51. The effect and working principle are the same as those of the first guide plate 35, so it will not be described in detail.

[0029] It should be noted that users can set ribbons, tassels, or other decorations on the outside of the air outlet 4. When the air outlet 4 is exhausting air, the ribbons, tassels, or other decorations will be blown up, enhancing the aesthetics. Alternatively, a decorative fan can be embedded in the air outlet 4. When the air outlet 4 is exhausting air, the blades of the decorative fan will rotate, further enhancing the aesthetics.

[0030] like Figure 5As shown, the embedded structure 5 of this utility model is detachably embedded in the mounting groove 2 and fits snugly against the outer shell 31. The embedded structure 5 includes a first embedded plate 51, a second embedded plate 52, and a connecting rope 53. The first embedded plate 51 is connected to the second embedded plate 52 via the connecting rope 53. The first embedded plate 51 is embedded in the upper half of the mounting groove 2 and fits snugly against the upper half of the outer shell 31, while the second embedded plate 52 is embedded in the lower half of the mounting groove 2 and fits snugly against the lower half of the outer shell 31. The detachable first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52 are connected by the connecting rope 53 and can be quickly embedded or detached according to actual needs. In cold weather, rainy weather, or scenarios where ventilation is not required, the first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52 are respectively embedded in the upper and lower halves of the mounting groove 2 and fit snugly against the outer shell 31, which can effectively seal off the outside air from entering the shoe space and prevent cold wind, rain, dust, etc. from entering the shoe, keeping the inside of the shoe dry and warm. When ventilation is required, the first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52 are detached to allow the inside of the shoe to connect with the outside air, ensuring efficient air convection. The connection rope 53 prevents the first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52 from being lost.

[0031] The first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52 are made of the same material, rubber. The rubber material of the first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52 can fit more tightly with the outer shell 31, ensuring the sealing effect while having good flexibility, making it easy to disassemble and assemble multiple times and not easily damaged.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the wearer needs ventilation, the embedded structure 5 is disassembled. When running, the external airflow enters the shoe through the air intake structure 3 in the mounting groove 2 at the front of the upper 1. The outer shell 31 of the air intake structure 3 is provided with a first mounting block 32, a second mounting block 33 and a third mounting block 34. The three are not only used to fix the first guide plate 35 and the second guide plate 36 arranged in an array at a 45° angle, but also to increase the overall strength of the outer shell 31. The first guide plate 35 and the second guide plate 36 with a 45° angle design are used to guide the airflow obliquely downward to the foot, toes and other areas prone to sweating at the bottom of the shoe, and carry the heat out from the air outlet 4 at the rear of the upper 1 to form efficient convection.

[0034] When ventilation is not required, the first embedded plate 51 and the second embedded plate 52, connected by the connecting rope 53, can be quickly embedded into the mounting groove 2 and fit tightly against the outer shell 31. The rubber material ensures sealing and flexibility, effectively blocking cold wind, rain and dust, and realizing flexible switching of ventilation function.

[0035] The above description is merely 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.
