Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slipper technology, and in particular to a slipper with a self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Shoes have a long history of development. The earliest shoes made of animal hides appeared around 5,000 years ago during the Yangshao Culture period. Shoes are a tool for people to protect their feet from injury. In order to overcome special circumstances and prevent their feet from being uncomfortable or injured, people invented fur shoes. Shoes have developed into what they are today, with various styles and functions of shoes everywhere.

[0003] A search revealed that the Chinese patent "A slipper with automatic cleaning function" (publication number CN215075830U) includes a sole, toe, connecting structure, and stabilizing structure. The connecting structure is installed on the lower outer side of the toe, while the stabilizing structure is installed on the lower inner side of the toe. The connecting structure is connected to the outer side of the sole using a snap fastener, while the stabilizing structure is fixed to the top of the sole using Velcro. After the Velcro is fixed, it is covered by a soft layer, preventing contact with the user's foot and avoiding discomfort. These two structures allow the nano-self-cleaning layer on the inner side of the toe to be exposed for photolytic self-cleaning. However, this method has the following drawbacks in actual use: when the nano-self-cleaning layer is exposed, the user needs to insert their hand into the slipper for traction, which can easily lead to bacterial contamination of the hands. Furthermore, the Velcro fixation method is prone to misalignment and adhesion during repositioning, resulting in poor fixation and discomfort after wearing the slipper. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a slipper with a self-cleaning function to address the problems of easy hand contamination with bacteria and easy slippage and adhesion inside the toe of the shoe.

[0005] A slipper with self-cleaning function includes a shoe body, which includes an upper and a lining. The inner wall of the lining is provided with a nano self-cleaning layer. It also includes a driving mechanism located on the outer side of the upper and used to drive the lining, assisting the nano self-cleaning layer in reacting with an external light source. The driving mechanism includes a driving belt, one end of which passes through the upper and is fixedly connected to the outer side of the lining, and the other end of which passes sequentially through the upper and the lining and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lining. The two ends of the driving belt are close to each other and located on the inner and outer sides of the lining, respectively.

[0006] In one embodiment, the lining is internally fitted with a set of reinforcing ribs made of rubber.

[0007] In one embodiment, the curvature of the reinforcing rib is the same as that of the lining.

[0008] In one embodiment, the upper is bonded to one side of the lining, and the inner side of the drive belt is respectively attached to the inner wall of the upper and the lining.

[0009] In one embodiment, one side of the drive belt is provided with a Velcro loop, and the outer side of the shoe upper is embedded with a Velcro barbed surface that contacts the Velcro loop.

[0010] In one embodiment, the shoe body further includes a sole, one side of which is provided with an antibacterial layer.

[0011] In one embodiment, the antibacterial layer is made of a silver ion antibacterial agent. Beneficial effects

[0012] 1. By setting a drive belt, when it is necessary to pull out the nano self-cleaning layer on the liner, the user can directly pull the drive belt to bring out the liner for subsequent photolysis reaction. There is no direct contact between the liner and the liner, reducing bacterial adhesion.

[0013] 2. By setting reinforcing ribs, the structural strength of the lining can be enhanced. When the lining is turned out and put back in place, the reinforcing ribs can deform and follow, thus ensuring that the reinforcing ribs are in place after being put back in place and are not prone to displacement. This ensures a stable putting back in place and reduces discomfort after wearing slippers. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This invention describes slippers with a self-cleaning function.

[0027] In one embodiment, a slipper with a self-cleaning function includes a shoe body 100, which includes an upper and an inner lining 300. The inner wall of the inner lining 300 is provided with a nano self-cleaning layer. It also includes a driving mechanism 200, which is disposed on the outer side of the upper and is used to drive the inner lining 300 to assist the nano self-cleaning layer in reacting with an external light source. The driving mechanism 200 includes a driving belt 210, one end of which passes through the upper and is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner lining 300, and the other end of which passes through the upper and the inner lining 300 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner lining 300. The two ends of the driving belt 210 are close to each other and are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the inner lining 300.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a set of reinforcing ribs 211 are embedded inside the lining 300, and the reinforcing ribs 211 are made of rubber.

[0029] In this embodiment, when self-cleaning is required, the drive belt 210 is used to pull out the inner lining 300, so that the nano self-cleaning layer on the inner lining 300 reacts with the external light source. After saving cleaning work, the other end of the drive belt 210 is pulled to pull the inner lining 300 back to its original position. At this time, the setting of the reinforcing rib 211 improves the structural strength and toughness of the inner lining 300. After the rubber reinforcing rib 211 deforms and returns to its original position, it can assist the inner lining 300 in returning to its original position in multiple areas, ensuring the return effect of the inner lining 300, reducing the occurrence of displacement, and reducing the discomfort caused by the subsequent wearing of the shoe body 100. During the whole process, the user does not need to come into contact with the inner lining 300, which can effectively reduce bacterial contamination.

[0030] It should be noted that if the lining 300 shifts due to the drive belt 210 not pulling properly after it has been reset, the user can put it on directly. During the process of putting it on, the foot will contact the lining 300 and fit against the inner wall of the shoe upper to assist in the reset. Alternatively, the user can use the drive belt 210 to make slight adjustments when putting it on.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the curvature of the reinforcing rib 211 is the same as that of the inner lining 300.

[0032] This ensures that when the liner 300 is reset, the reinforcing rib 211 is reset and its curvature matches the internal curvature of the liner 300, thereby guaranteeing the positioning rate of the liner 300 after reset and reducing the phenomenon of displacement of the liner 300.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the upper is bonded to one side of the lining 300, and the inner side of the drive belt 210 is attached to the inner wall of the upper and the lining 300 respectively.

[0034] When turning the lining 300 inside out, use the shoe upper to secure it on one side;

[0035] During use, the drive belt 210 fits snugly against the inner walls of the shoe upper and lining 300, respectively, thus preventing any abrupt changes.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a Velcro surface 212 is provided on one side of the drive belt 210, and a Velcro barbed surface that mates with the Velcro surface 212 is embedded on the outer side of the shoe upper.

[0037] The use of hook and loop fasteners 212 and hook and loop fasteners barbed surfaces ensures the stability of the drive belt 210 and the inner liner 300, making it less likely for the inner liner 300 to shift during use.

[0038] When it is necessary to turn the lining 300 inside out, the user can separate the hook and loop side 212 from the hook and loop side.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shoe body 100 also includes a sole, and an antibacterial layer is provided on one side of the sole; the antibacterial layer is made of silver ion antibacterial agent.

[0040] The use of a silver ion antibacterial layer enhances the antibacterial effect of the shoe body by 100%, reducing the occurrence of bacterial growth inside the shoe.

[0041] Working principle: Separate the hook and loop side 212 on the drive belt 210 from the hook and loop side on the shoe upper. Then pull one end of the drive belt 210 to pull the lining 300 out along the inclined surface. Then, use an external light source to perform a photolysis reaction with the nano self-cleaning layer. After the self-cleaning operation is completed, the user can pull the other end of the drive belt 210 to pull the lining 300 back into place, so that the lining 300 can be used.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
