[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear and apparel technology, specifically to a quick-drying and refreshing shoe upper. Background Technology

[0002] Shoes are a type of clothing accessory whose function is to protect and cover the user's feet. They are basically composed of a sole and an upper. The sole is the lower part that contacts the ground, while the upper is the upper part that is located on top of the sole. The upper covers the user's foot and connects with the sole to fix the sole to the user's foot, preventing the sole from falling off. The design of the upper can effectively improve the integration of the shoe and foot, and make the shoe more protective of the foot and provide better warmth.

[0003] Although the existing technologies mentioned above can solve the corresponding technical problems, they still have certain drawbacks: the existing shoe uppers are made of yarn. In order to make the shoe uppers have high strength to cope with different sports, the yarn density of the shoe uppers is high. As a result, when wearing the shoes, if the ambient temperature is high and the wearer is engaged in more strenuous exercise, it is easy for the heat and sweat generated by the feet to not be able to be quickly discharged, resulting in stuffy feet and poor wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a quick-drying and breathable shoe upper that offers good thermal and moisture conductivity and prevents stuffiness.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a quick-drying and refreshing shoe upper, comprising a shoe upper body and an opening integrally formed on the shoe upper body at the heel position of the human foot, wherein the shoe upper body includes a duct jacquard layer, and microducts penetrating the duct jacquard layer are integrally formed on the duct jacquard layer.

[0006] A further improvement is that the upper body has an integrally formed tongue mounting opening extending towards the front end of the upper body at the edge of the insertion opening.

[0007] A further improvement is that a forefoot ribbed reinforcement layer is provided on the upper body at the corresponding position of the forefoot of the human foot, and the forefoot ribbed reinforcement layer is composed of several single-layer jacquard ribs.

[0008] A further improvement is that the upper body has a forefoot edge reinforcement layer on the edge located at the forefoot position of the human foot, and the forefoot edge reinforcement layer is composed of several single-layer jacquard twill stripes.

[0009] A further improvement is that a mid-section reinforcement layer is provided at the edge of the middle section of the shoe upper body, and the mid-section reinforcement layer is composed of several double-layer jacquard horizontal stripes.

[0010] A further improvement is that the upper body has several breathable perforated layers in the middle section.

[0011] A further improvement is that the upper body is provided with a tear-resistant horizontal stripe layer below the breathable perforation layer, and the tear-resistant horizontal stripe layer is composed of several double-layer jacquard horizontal stripes.

[0012] A further improvement is that a hydrophobic layer is fixedly provided above the jacquard layer of the conduit.

[0013] A further improvement is that the lower surface of the duct jacquard layer is provided with a first inner layer.

[0014] A further improvement is that a second inner layer is provided below the first inner layer, and an elastic cavity layer composed of several intersecting spiral yarns is sewn and fixed between the first inner layer and the second inner layer.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The upper body of this utility model forms a duct jacquard layer through jacquard process, and a large number of microducts are formed on the duct jacquard layer, which can quickly concentrate heat and moisture and conduct them outward. Combined with several horizontal stripe layers on the upper body, it ensures the overall strength of the upper. Thus, when the upper is put into the shoe and worn, it has a good heat and moisture conduction effect, is not easy to cause stuffy feet, and has a high wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a top view of the structure of the shoe upper of this utility model after it has been unfolded;

[0018] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the cross-section of the shoe upper body of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] See Figure 1-2As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a quick-drying and refreshing shoe upper, including an upper body 1 and an inlet 2 integrally formed on the upper body 1 at the heel position of the human foot. The upper body 1 includes a duct jacquard layer 11, and microducts 12 that penetrate the duct jacquard layer 11 are integrally formed on the duct jacquard layer 11. During production, the yarn is formed into the upper body 1 through a jacquard process. The yarn can be CoatsKnit. AirDry yarn features a unique Y-shaped and O-shaped cross-section, which further enhances moisture absorption and wicking efficiency. Simultaneously, during the molding of the upper body 1, a jacquard process is used to form a duct jacquard layer 11 and numerous microducts 12 penetrating the duct jacquard layer 11. After molding, the upper can be attached to the shoe midsole. The wearer inserts the upper through the insertion point 2, allowing the foot to be enveloped by the upper body 1. During exercise, if the wearer's feet become hot and sweaty, the moisture and heat generated can be concentrated and discharged outwards through the microducts 12. This achieves rapid absorption and diffusion of moisture and heat in just 2.8 seconds, increasing the absorption and diffusion speed of moisture and heat by 47% compared to conventional polyester fabrics. This results in excellent heat and moisture conduction when the upper is attached to the shoe, reducing stuffiness and ensuring high comfort.

[0021] The upper body 1 has an integrally formed tongue mounting opening 3 extending towards the front end of the upper body 1 at the edge of the insertion opening 2, which facilitates the insertion of the tongue through the tongue mounting opening 3, making the tongue installation simpler and more convenient.

[0022] The upper body 1 has a forefoot horizontal reinforcement layer 4 located at the corresponding position of the forefoot of the human foot. The forefoot horizontal reinforcement layer 4 is composed of several single-layer jacquard horizontal stripes, which helps to improve the support of the forefoot position through the forefoot horizontal reinforcement layer 4, thereby making the forefoot position of the upper body 1 less prone to deformation. At the same time, the forefoot horizontal reinforcement layer 4 composed of single jacquard horizontal stripes can ensure better breathability, making the forefoot position less prone to stuffiness.

[0023] The upper body 1 has a forefoot edge reinforcement layer 6 on the edge of the forefoot. The forefoot edge reinforcement layer 6 is composed of several single-layer jacquard twill strips. The forefoot edge reinforcement layer 6 helps to improve the strength of the forefoot edge of the upper body 1. At the same time, the single-layer jacquard twill strips make it less prone to deformation when subjected to lateral force, and the strength is not too great. Therefore, when the foot is pressed against the upper body 1, there will be no phenomenon of foot injury or toenail damage. In addition, the single jacquard twill strips can effectively ensure breathability, making the forefoot area less likely to become stuffy.

[0024] A mid-section reinforcement layer 8 is provided at the edge of the middle section of the upper body 1. The mid-section reinforcement layer 8 is composed of several double-layer jacquard horizontal stripes, which helps to improve the strength of the middle section of the upper body 1. Combined with the mid-section reinforcement layer composed of double-layer jacquard horizontal stripes, it can effectively improve the deformation resistance of the middle section of the upper body 1, thereby making the middle section more stable and providing stronger support for the arch of the foot and other areas. This allows the foot to be fully tightened by the upper body 1 after it is put on, making it more stable during exercise.

[0025] Several breathable perforated layers 7 are provided in the middle section of the upper body 1, which helps to further improve the breathability of the upper body 1, making the middle section of the foot cooler and more comfortable.

[0026] The upper body 1 is located below the breathable perforation layer 7 and is also provided with a tear-resistant horizontal stripe layer 5. The tear-resistant horizontal stripe layer 5 is composed of several double-layer jacquard horizontal stripes, which helps to improve the overall strength of the upper at the breathable perforation 7 position, prevent tearing at this position, and improve the durability of the upper.

[0027] A hydrophobic layer 16 is also fixed above the duct jacquard layer 11, which helps to improve the waterproof performance when water splashes on the shoe upper body 1 and prevents water droplets from penetrating the duct jacquard layer 11.

[0028] The lower surface of the tubular jacquard layer 11 is provided with a first inner layer 14, which helps to improve the comfort of wearing through the relatively soft first inner layer 14;

[0029] Below the first inner layer 14, there is a second inner layer 13. Between the first inner layer 14 and the second inner layer 13, there is an elastic cavity layer 15 composed of several intersecting spiral yarns. This elastic cavity layer 15 helps to reduce the pressure of the tube jacquard layer 11 on the foot, thereby making the wearing comfort higher.

[0030] The working principle of this invention: During production, the yarn is formed into the upper body 1 through a jacquard process. The yarn can be CoatsKnit. AirDry yarn features a unique Y-shaped and O-shaped cross-section, which further enhances moisture absorption and wicking efficiency. Simultaneously, during the molding of the upper body 1, a jacquard process is used to form a duct jacquard layer 11 and numerous microducts 12 penetrating the duct jacquard layer 11. After molding, the upper is attached to the shoe midsole. The wearer inserts the upper through the insertion point 2, allowing the foot to be enveloped by the upper body 1. During exercise, if the wearer's feet become hot and sweaty, the moisture and heat generated can be concentrated and discharged outwards through the microducts 12. This achieves rapid absorption and diffusion of moisture and heat in just 2.8 seconds, a 47% increase compared to conventional polyester fabrics. This results in excellent heat and moisture conduction when the upper is attached to the shoe, reducing stuffiness and ensuring high comfort.
