Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toe pad technology, and in particular toe pads for preventing athlete's foot. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people have higher and higher requirements for the comfort of clothing. Foot comfort is one of the aspects that people care about. In hot weather, feet accumulate a lot of heat. In addition, many shoes are not breathable, so they often feel damp and uncomfortable when worn, especially for people with sweaty feet. Damp and hot feet can easily lead to problems such as athlete's foot and foot odor. The toes are particularly prone to athlete's foot. Since the toes are located at the end of the shoe, there is almost no air circulation, and ventilation is already more difficult than other parts. In addition, the toes are close to each other, making the toes very prone to athlete's foot.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN212814740U, disclose an automatic ventilation insole for walking, which includes an insole body, two air inlet pipes, and two one-way air inlet valves, allowing ventilation inside the shoe through the insole. However, the above-mentioned technical solution still has at least the following drawback: the air circulation effect in the toe area is relatively poor when ventilating inside the shoe.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN117006262A discloses a one-way valve, a breathable insole, and a ventilation method. The insole includes a breathable layer and an anti-slip layer, with the breathable layer fixedly mounted on the anti-slip layer. Multiple ventilation holes are located at the front of the breathable layer corresponding to the foot's position. However, the above technical solution has at least the following drawbacks: although it primarily targets the foot area for airflow, the toes are usually in close contact, making it difficult to ensure airflow between the toes, resulting in poor ventilation in the toe area.

[0005] Based on the existing technologies mentioned above, most current methods for improving athlete's foot involve air exchange in the insoles. However, these methods often fail to effectively address the toes, making it difficult to guarantee air circulation in the toes and thus hindering the effective resolution of athlete's foot and reducing wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an anti-athlete's foot toe pad, comprising:

[0007] A base pad, which is detachably installed in the toe area of ​​the foot, has an air passage formed inside the base pad, and the input end of the air passage is connected to an air supply component;

[0008] Five toe rings are fixedly installed on the base pad. Each of the five toe rings is connected to the air supply assembly through the air passage. The five toe rings are used to isolate the toes and to deliver gas to the toes.

[0009] More preferably, each of the ring toe pads consists of two opposing spacers, with a space between the two spacers for restricting the toes, and an opening at the top of the space.

[0010] More preferably, the top ends of both spacers are bent relative to each other to form a limiting portion, which is used to overlap the upper surface of the toe and to restrict the spacer to the toe.

[0011] More preferably, the lower parts of two adjacent spacers are integrally formed, and the spacers between two toes are Y-shaped.

[0012] More preferably, the ring toe pad includes an inner cavity and an air hole communicating with the inner cavity, the inner cavity being formed in the spacer pad and communicating with the air passage, and the air hole being formed on the opposite surfaces of the two spacers pads.

[0013] More preferably, the number of pores is several, and the several pores are evenly distributed on the spacer pad.

[0014] More preferably, the lower surface of the base pad is formed with an adhesive element, which is used to fix the base pad onto the sock body corresponding to the toe area.

[0015] More preferably, the upper surface of the base pad located between the two spacers has a plurality of through holes communicating with the air passage, and the plurality of through holes are evenly distributed on the base pad.

[0016] More preferably, the air supply component includes a first air duct, an air bladder, and a second air duct. The air bladder is detachably installed in the heel area of ​​the foot. The two ends of the first air duct are respectively installed on the base pad and the air bladder. A first one-way valve is provided on the first air duct. One end of the second air duct is fixedly installed on the output end of the air bladder. A second one-way valve is provided on the second air duct. The other end of the second air duct extends to the outside of the shoe body.

[0017] More preferably, the air supply assembly includes an air pump and a third air guide tube. One end of the third air guide tube is fixedly installed on the base pad and communicates with the air passage. The air pump is fixedly installed at the other end of the third air guide tube and is detachably installed on the leg.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has a clever structure and is easy to operate. Through the cooperation of the base pad, the toe ring pad, and the air supply component, it effectively improves the air circulation at the toes, ensuring that air can circulate effectively between the toes, thereby ensuring the dryness of the toes. It not only ensures the comfort of wearing the toes, but also reliably and effectively isolates the five toes, greatly reducing the problem of athlete's foot at the toes and effectively improving people's wearing comfort.

[0027] In this invention, the toe pads have symmetrical and identical structures for the left and right feet, similar to shoe insoles. The specific embodiments of this invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Depend on Figures 1 to 6 The present invention relates to some embodiments of an anti-athlete's foot toe pad, including:

[0029] Base pad 1, base pad 1 is detachably installed in the toe area of ​​the foot, and an air passage 2 is formed inside the base pad 1, and an air supply component is connected to the input end of the air passage 2.

[0030] Five toe rings 3 are fixedly installed on the base pad 1. All five toe rings 3 are connected to the air supply assembly through the air passage 2. The five toe rings 3 are used to isolate the toes and to deliver gas to the toes.

[0031] In these embodiments, the toe area refers to the area around the toes. Preferably, the surface of the base pad 1 is adapted to the shape of the toe area. For example, the shape of the base pad 1 can be formed by molding or 3D printing technology to better fit the spatial shape of the toes and surrounding area. Both the base pad 1 and the ring toe pad 3 can be made of flexible materials to ensure comfort and better fit the toes. In the prior art, the five toes, from the big toe to the little toe, are called the big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe, and little toe, respectively. In this invention, among the five ring toe pads 3, one is larger than the others, and one is smaller than the others, to better fit the five toes, ensuring both comfort and reliable and effective isolation between the five toes. Furthermore, the materials used in this invention can be materials suitable for skin contact, as are existing technologies. Since the above-mentioned prior art is a mature application of known technologies, it will not be elaborated further in this paper.

[0032] With the combination of base pad 1 and toe pad 3, it can be securely worn on the toes and effectively isolate the toes. Then, air is delivered to the toes through the air supply component, which effectively improves the air circulation in the toes to ensure the toes are dry, thereby greatly reducing the problem of athlete's foot in the toes and effectively improving the comfort of people wearing it.

[0033] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, each toe ring pad 3 consists of two opposing spacer pads 4, with a accommodating space 5 between the two spacer pads 4 for restricting the toes, and an opening 6 formed at the top of the accommodating space 5.

[0034] In these embodiments, the size of each carrying space 5 varies according to the different sizes of the five toes, ensuring that each toe can be stably fitted within the carrying space 5. The opening 6 at the top of the carrying space 5 allows air blowing towards the toes to circulate and escape smoothly, facilitating the wearing of the toes, reducing the space occupied by the insert pads 4 while meeting air supply needs, and ensuring that air is effectively blown towards the toes, thus improving the toe drying effect. The sequentially arranged insert pads 4 effectively isolate the toes while ensuring air circulation, better meeting the needs of wearing and walking.

[0035] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, the tops of the two insert pads 4 are bent relative to each other to form a limiting portion 7, which is used to overlap the upper surface of the toe and to restrict the insert pad 4 on the toe.

[0036] In these embodiments, the relatively curved insert 4 can effectively cover the toes, and under the action of the limiting part 7, it can ensure that the insert 4 and the toes can be stably matched, avoiding the insert 4 from falling off or shifting and affecting smooth use. Furthermore, the cooperation between the base pad 1 and the limiting part 7 better conforms to the shape of the toes and their surroundings, which is conducive to improving wearing comfort.

[0037] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, the lower parts of two adjacent spacer pads 4 are integrally formed, and the spacer pads 4 between two toes are Y-shaped.

[0038] In these embodiments, by integrally forming the lower part of two adjacent spacers 4, the space occupied by the spacers 4 between the two toes is effectively reduced, further reducing the feeling of foreign objects when wearing them, while also improving the stability during wearing. The Y-shaped spacers 4 placed between the toes are more ergonomic and have greater applicability.

[0039] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, the ring toe pad 3 includes an inner cavity 8 and an air hole 9 communicating with the inner cavity 8. The inner cavity 8 is formed in the spacer pad 4 and communicates with the air passage 2. Air holes 9 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the two spacers pads 4.

[0040] In these embodiments, an inner cavity 8 is provided in the spacer 4, which does not affect the stability of its support and can ensure that the gas is delivered smoothly. Through the cooperation of the inner cavity 8 and the air passage 2, the gas is delivered stably and then blown steadily to the toes through the air hole 9, making the gas supply more reliable.

[0041] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, there are several air holes 9, which are evenly distributed on the spacer pad 4.

[0042] In these embodiments, the outlets of the air holes 9 are all facing the toes. The evenly distributed air holes 9 ensure that the gas can be effectively blown to the toes, which helps to improve the efficiency and effect of air circulation, thereby improving the wearing effect and better solving the problem of athlete's foot.

[0043] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, an adhesive member 10 is formed on the lower surface of the base pad 1, which is used to fix the base pad 1 onto the sock body corresponding to the toe area.

[0044] In these embodiments, the adhesive 10 can be an adhesive layer or a rough surface that can adhere to the sock. The adhesive 10 can better position the base pad 1 in the toe area, which not only better meets people's wearing habits, but also ensures the stability of the base pad 1. Of course, it is understood that wearing socks in the prior art does not cause too much obstruction to the effect of air circulation. That is to say, even when wearing socks, air circulation in the toe area can be achieved, thereby reducing athlete's foot problems.

[0045] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, the base pad 1 has a plurality of through holes 11 on its upper surface between two spacer pads 4, which are connected to the air passages 2. The plurality of through holes 11 are evenly distributed on the base pad 1.

[0046] In these embodiments, through holes 11 are provided on the base pad 1, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the through holes 11 on the base pad 1 further enhance the efficiency and effect of gas flow, improve the overall coverage of air blowing to the toes, and are more conducive to reducing athlete's foot.

[0047] In some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, the air supply component includes a first air duct 12, an air bladder 13, and a second air duct 14. The air bladder 13 is detachably installed in the heel area of ​​the foot. The two ends of the first air duct 12 are respectively installed on the base pad 1 and the air bladder 13. A first one-way valve 15 is provided on the first air duct 12. One end of the second air duct 14 is fixedly installed on the output end of the air bladder 13. A second one-way valve 16 is provided on the second air duct 14. The other end of the second air duct 14 extends to the outside of the shoe body.

[0048] In these implementations, such as Figure 5As shown, the cooperation of the first air duct 12, airbag 13, and second air duct 14 ensures a continuous supply of air from outside the shoe to the toe area inside the shoe. In conjunction with the first one-way valve 15 and the second one-way valve 16, the first one-way valve 15 allows gas to flow only from the airbag 13 to the base pad 1 through the first air duct 12, and the second one-way valve 16 allows gas to flow only from the outside to the airbag 13 through the second air duct 14, ensuring unidirectional gas delivery and stable air supply to the base pad 1. The airbag 13 is located in the heel area. During walking, the air is drawn in and expelled by releasing and pressing the airbag 13. For example, when the foot lands and the airbag 13 is pressed, air from the airbag 13 is delivered to the base pad 1. Then, when the foot is lifted, air enters through the second air duct 14, and the airbag 13 is pressed again, thus completing the gas delivery cycle. The mechanical structure and working principle of the first one-way valve 15 and the second one-way valve 16 are existing technologies. Therefore, their detailed mechanical structure and working principle will not be described in detail in this article. For example, you can refer to the one-way valve disclosed in the Chinese patent with announcement number CN212814740U, which discloses an automatic ventilation insole for walking.

[0049] To further improve ease of use, in some embodiments of anti-athlete's foot toe pads, the air supply component includes an air pump 17 and a third air duct 18. One end of the third air duct 18 is fixedly installed on the base pad 1 and communicates with the air passage 2. The air pump 17 is fixedly installed on the other end of the third air duct 18 and can be detachably installed on the leg.

[0050] In these implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air pump 17 and the third air guide tube 18 work together to supply gas. The air pump 17 can be fixed to the leg, for example, by binding or boxing. With the help of a rechargeable power supply, the air pump 17 can provide a stable air supply, making it more convenient to use. The mechanical structure and working principle of the air pump 17 are existing technologies, so its detailed mechanical structure and working principle will not be described in detail in this article.

[0051] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. The above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
