Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear technology, specifically to a protective infant shoe. Background Technology

[0002] Infant shoes, also known as baby shoes, are specially designed for infants and toddlers. They are designed according to the growth and development characteristics of children's feet at this age, emphasizing lightweight, breathability, comfort, and suitability for healthy foot growth.

[0003] As infants and toddlers learn to walk, their coordination, balance, and spatial awareness are still developing, making it easy for them to walk unsteadily, stumble, and bump into things. It is also very common for them not to look down at the road or avoid obstacles. Therefore, when infants and toddlers walk in children's shoes, their heels are prone to hitting walls, furniture legs, steps, or other hard objects. This impact can easily cause pain, distress, red toes, and in severe cases, even minor bruises.

[0004] Although current infant and toddler shoes have an extended sole and an arched heel to improve heel protection, the softness of the sole and the extended heel area can reduce the risk of injury from heel bumps compared to ordinary infant and toddler shoes.

[0005] However, simply extending the sole of the shoe does not prevent the impact from being transmitted to the toes during a collision. It fails to provide cushioning and reduce the transmission of impact force, thus failing to improve the protection of the toes. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a protective infant shoe.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a protective infant shoe, comprising a shoe body, a sole disposed at the lower end of the shoe body, an extension disposed at the front end of the sole, and further comprising a buffer portion disposed on the extension portion for buffering the impact force when the front end of the sole impacts an object, a deformation connecting post disposed between the buffer portion and the extension portion for bending when the buffer portion is impacted to reduce the impact force transmitted to the extension portion, and a flexible contact layer disposed on the buffer portion and at the end away from the deformation connecting post for making flexible contact with the buffer portion when it impacts an object to reduce the impact force transmitted to the buffer portion.

[0008] A further improvement is that the flexible contact layer is a foam layer, and the foam layer has several flexible contact protrusions.

[0009] A further improvement is that the flexible contact protrusion is an arc protrusion, and several arc protrusions are arranged alternately.

[0010] A further improvement is that the flexible contact protrusion is a sponge protrusion.

[0011] A further improvement is that the buffer section has a buffer cavity.

[0012] A further improvement is that the buffer portion is a rubber portion or a silicone portion.

[0013] A further improvement is that the deformable connecting column has several deformation openings. These openings are located on the periphery of the deformable connecting column.

[0014] A further improvement is that the deformable connecting column is a rubber column.

[0015] A further improvement is that the flexible contact layer is an arc-shaped layer, the buffer part is a trapezoidal part, and several of the deformation connecting columns are equidistantly arranged.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When infants and toddlers walk while wearing children's shoes, their heels are prone to hitting walls, furniture legs, steps, or other hard objects. At this time, the flexible contact layer first makes flexible contact with the impacting object to reduce the impact force transmitted to the buffer part. The buffer part then buffers the impact force. When the buffer part is impacted, the deformation connecting column bends to reduce the impact force transmitted to the extension part. Through the layered buffering and weakening settings, a buffering effect can be achieved when impacting, reducing the transmission of impact force, thereby improving the protection effect on the toes.

[0022] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: a protective infant shoe, including a shoe body 1, a sole 2 disposed at the lower end of the shoe body 1, an extension 3 disposed at the front end of the sole 2, a buffer part 4 disposed on the extension 3 for buffering the impact force when the front end of the sole 2 impacts an object, a deformation connecting post 5 disposed between the buffer part 4 and the extension 3 for bending when the buffer part 4 is impacted to reduce the impact force transmitted to the extension 3, and a flexible contact layer 6 disposed on the buffer part 4 and away from the deformation connecting post 5 for making flexible contact with the buffer part 4 when it impacts an object to reduce the impact force transmitted to the buffer part 4. The buffer part 4 and the flexible contact layer 6 are fixedly connected by adhesive or glue, and the deformation connecting post 5 is connected to the buffer part 4 and the extension 3 by adhesive or glue respectively.

[0024] The flexible contact layer 6 is a foam layer, and a plurality of flexible contact protrusions 7 are provided on the foam layer.

[0025] The flexible contact protrusion 7 is an arc protrusion, and several arc protrusions are arranged alternately.

[0026] The flexible contact protrusion 7 is a sponge protrusion. When the flexible contact layer 6 collides with an object, the flexible contact protrusion 7 can first contact the object surface to generate an impact. The impact force is buffered by the flexible protrusion. After the flexible contact protrusion 7 deforms, the remaining impact force is weakened as it is transmitted to the flexible contact layer 6.

[0027] The buffer section 4 has a buffer cavity 8. The buffer cavity 8 is used to make it easier for the buffer section 4 to generate elastic deformation when the front end of the sole 2 impacts an object, thereby improving the buffering effect against the impact force.

[0028] The buffer part 4 is a rubber part or a silicone part.

[0029] The deformable connecting post 5 has several deformable openings 9. The deformable openings 9 are located on the periphery of the deformable connecting post 5. The deformable openings 9 make it easier for the deformable connecting post 5 to bend, thereby reducing the impact force transmitted to the extension 3.

[0030] The deformable connecting column 5 is a rubber column.

[0031] The flexible contact layer 6 is an arc-shaped layer, the buffer portion 4 is a trapezoidal portion, and several deformation connecting posts 5 are equidistantly arranged. The arc-shaped flexible contact layer 6 is similar to the arc-shaped arrangement of the extension portion 3. Compared with a parallel surface, the impact of the flexible contact layer 6 during wear can be reduced, and the impact force can be more easily transmitted to the buffer portion 4 upon impact. One end of the buffer portion 4 is connected to the flexible contact layer 6, and the impact force is transmitted from one end of the buffer portion 4, and then through the other end of the buffer portion 4 to the deformation connecting posts 5. The trapezoidal buffer portion 4 can receive the buffer force over a large area and then transmit it through a small area, further improving the buffering effect of the impact force.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When infants and toddlers walk while wearing children's shoes, their heels are prone to hitting walls, furniture legs, steps, or other hard objects. At this time, the flexible contact layer 6 first makes flexible contact with the object that is impacted, so as to reduce the impact force transmitted to the buffer part 4. The buffer part 4 then buffers the impact force. When the buffer part 4 is impacted, the deformation connecting column 5 bends to reduce the impact force transmitted to the extension part 3. Through the layered buffering and weakening settings, a buffering effect can be achieved when impacted, reducing the transmission of impact force, thereby improving the protection effect on the toes.
