Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe sole technology, specifically to a massage shoe sole. Background Technology
[0002] Existing massage-feature shoe soles typically consist of an outsole and a massage insole positioned above it. This insole features multiple massage posts at its bottom, which pass through corresponding openings in the outsole and protrude from its lower surface, aiming to provide both foot massage and anti-slip properties while walking. However, this structure has significant drawbacks in practical application: because the massage posts are assembled with the outsole openings, tiny gaps inevitably exist between them. When the wearer walks in wet environments or on flooded surfaces, moisture from the ground can easily seep into the sole through these gaps, soaking the insole and socks, significantly reducing comfort and even causing bacterial growth and unpleasant odors. Current designs generally lack effective sealing measures at the junction of the massage posts and openings, resulting in weak overall waterproofing and severely limiting the product's suitability for various weather and road conditions.
[0003] In view of this, the inventors of this case conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a massage shoe sole with improved waterproof performance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A massage shoe sole includes a sole body; the sole body includes an outsole and a massage insole disposed on the upper surface of the outsole; the bottom of the massage insole has a plurality of massage posts arranged towards the outsole, and the outsole has positioning holes corresponding to the massage posts; the massage posts are inserted into and pass through the positioning holes, and their lower ends protrude from the lower surface of the outsole; the outsole and the massage insole are sealed together; the massage posts and the positioning holes are interference-fitted; a waterproof adhesive layer is disposed between the upper surface of the outsole and the lower surface of the massage insole.
[0007] The lower surface of the massage column has a non-slip texture.
[0008] The bottom surface of the outsole features anti-slip raised bumps and a non-slip texture. The anti-slip raised bumps are located on the parts of the outsole corresponding to the ball of the foot and the heel.
[0009] The lower end of the positioning hole has a clearance groove to avoid the massage column.
[0010] The massage insole also has cushioning holes on the upper surface of the massage insole that correspond to the massage posts.
[0011] The upper surface of the outsole has a groove for accommodating the massage insole.
[0012] The distribution of multiple massage rollers on the inner sole corresponds to acupoints on the soles of the feet.
[0013] The cross-sectional area of the massage column located at the heel of the human body is larger than that of the massage column located at the sole of the human body.
[0014] The massage insole is made of foam material, and the material of the massage insole is less hard than that of the outsole.
[0015] The lower end of the massage column is located on the same arc surface, which is parallel to the arc surface of the bottom of the outsole.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the massage sole of this invention, in actual use, fundamentally blocks the path of moisture seeping into the shoe from the interface between the outsole and the massage insole by achieving a sealed connection between the two. Specifically, radial sealing is formed by the interference fit between the massage columns and the positioning holes, axial sealing is formed by the waterproof adhesive layer between the outsole and the massage insole, and seamless connection is achieved through secondary injection molding. These three methods can be used individually or in combination to jointly construct a three-dimensional and efficient waterproof barrier. Compared with the prior art, this invention significantly improves the waterproof performance of the sole while achieving massage and anti-slip functions, ensuring the wearer's feet remain dry and comfortable in various wet and slippery environments.

[0027] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0028] A type of massage shoe sole, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the shoe includes a sole body 1; the sole body 1 includes an outsole 2 and a massage insole 3 disposed on the upper surface of the outsole 2; the bottom of the massage insole 3 has multiple massage posts 31 arranged towards the outsole 2, and the outsole 2 has positioning holes 21 corresponding to the massage posts 31; the massage posts 31 are inserted into and pass through the positioning holes 21, and their lower ends protrude from the lower surface of the outsole 2; the outsole 2 and the massage insole 3 are sealed together. When the user wears the shoe, the sole of the foot steps on the upper surface of the massage insole 3, and the part of the massage post 31 protruding from the lower surface of the outsole 2 directly contacts the ground. This structure acts as a support point inside to massage the sole of the foot, while the lower surface of the protruding part of the massage post 31 contacts the ground, using its physical protrusion to generate friction and achieve anti-slip function. The core of this utility model is that the outsole 2 and the massage insole 3 are sealed together. This sealed connection can effectively prevent external moisture from seeping into the shoe through the assembly gap between the massage post 31 and the positioning hole 21, thereby solving the problem of poor waterproof performance in the prior art.
[0029] The massage insole 3 and outsole 2 are connected together via a sealed connection. This sealed connection can be achieved through interference fit, secondary injection molding, a waterproof adhesive layer, adhesive bonding, thermoforming welding, or snap-fit connections. Specifically, the massage column 31 and positioning hole 21 can be connected via an interference fit; the radial pressure generated by the interference fit ensures a tight fit, preventing separation. This ensures the massage layer never shifts, the massage points are accurately positioned, the structure is simple, the assembly is secure, and it also provides a waterproof seal, preventing liquid from flowing into the shoe through the positioning hole 21. Furthermore, a waterproof and breathable membrane can be attached to the lower surface of the massage insole 3 and / or the upper surface of the outsole 2, covering the upper opening of the positioning hole 21 to improve overall sealing performance. Additionally, the massage insole 3 and outsole 2 can be connected together via snap-fit connections, increasing overall strength and stability. Another specific method is to integrate the massage insole 3 with the outsole 2 through secondary injection molding. First, the massage insole 3 is molded and placed as an insert into the outsole 2 mold. Then, the outsole 2 material is injected to form a single piece. The two layers are bonded at the molecular level, resulting in extremely high bonding strength and excellent sealing, completely eliminating the possibility of water and dust ingress between the layers. This also creates a seamless appearance and a high-quality feel. Another specific method involves a waterproof adhesive layer between the upper surface of the outsole 2 and the lower surface of the massage insole 3. This waterproof adhesive layer covers the upper opening of the positioning hole 21 during application and is squeezed into the tiny assembly gap between the positioning hole 21 and the massage post 31 under assembly pressure. After curing, the waterproof adhesive layer forms a continuous elastic sealing film, physically blocking the path of liquid seeping into the shoe along the interface between the outsole 2 and the massage insole 3 or the wall of the positioning hole 21. The waterproof adhesive layer covers the opening to prevent vertical water seepage and fills the gaps to prevent lateral water seepage, complementing the radial seal of the interference fit. The overall waterproof performance of the sole has been significantly improved, making it suitable for wearing in rainy or wet conditions and preventing bacteria growth inside the shoe. At the same time, the waterproof adhesive layer also serves as an adhesive aid, further enhancing the bond strength between the outsole 2 and the massage insole 3.
[0030] Furthermore, the lower surface of the massage column 31 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture can significantly increase the coefficient of friction when the massage column 31 contacts the ground, making the anti-slip function undertaken by the massage column 31 more efficient and reliable. Furthermore, the lower surface of the outsole 2 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 23 and anti-slip texture. The anti-slip protrusions 23 are located on the parts of the outsole 2 corresponding to the ball of the foot and the heel of the foot. By adding anti-slip protrusions 23 and anti-slip texture to the lower surface of the outsole 2, and by placing the anti-slip protrusions 23 in the areas not covered by the massage column 31, the difference in drop when the foot steps on those areas is compensated, which not only improves the overall anti-slip effect of the sole, but also improves the comfort of wearing the shoe.
[0031] The shape of the massage column 31 can be specifically designed according to functional requirements, and can be a cylinder, elliptical cylinder, or prism, etc. As a basic implementation, the cross-section of the massage column 31 is circular, and its side is a cylindrical surface perpendicular to the massage insole 3, which facilitates processing and assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the top end of the massage column 31 (i.e., the upper end that contacts the sole of the foot) is a smooth hemispherical or curved surface to reduce the pressure when the sole of the foot contacts it and improve comfort; the cross-sectional shape of its end that protrudes from the outsole 2 (i.e., the lower end) can be the same as the upper end, or it can be designed with a shape that has greater friction efficiency, for example: the cross-section of the end is polygonal (such as hexagonal), star-shaped, or has an irregular contour, so as to generate multi-directional engagement and anti-slip force when anti-slip. Furthermore, the overall outer contour of the massage column 31 can be designed as a truncated cone shape that tapers from top to bottom. This shape has a self-centering guiding effect when assembled by interference fit through the positioning hole 21, and can provide a more uniform fit stress distribution, enhancing the stability of the connection. Massage columns 31 of different shapes can be combined and arranged on the same massage inner bottom 3. For example, a cylindrical shape with stronger support can be used in the main load-bearing area, while a frustum shape with more concentrated contact can be used in the acupoint stimulation point to achieve differentiated and personalized massage and anti-slip effects.
[0032] The lower end of the positioning hole 21 has a relief groove 22 to avoid the massage column 31, reducing the contact area between the positioning hole 21 and the massage column 31 due to interference fit, facilitating production and assembly, and providing deformation space for the bottom of the massage column 31. Furthermore, the massage insole 3 also has a buffer hole 32 on its upper surface corresponding to the massage column 31, allowing the massage column 31 to better undergo elastic deformation. This transforms concentrated point pressure into a softer touch, effectively alleviating potential foot discomfort and making the massage more comfortable, while also facilitating the molding of the massage column 31. The upper surface of the outsole 2 has a receiving groove 24 for accommodating the massage insole 3, providing precise lateral and circumferential positioning for the massage insole 3, preventing slight movement of the massage insole 3 in any direction within the horizontal plane, increasing the rigidity and stability of the overall structure, and also reducing the overall thickness of the sole, improving the comfort of the sole. The distribution of multiple massage pillars 31 on the inner sole 3 corresponds to acupoints on the sole of the foot, allowing users to achieve targeted acupoint stimulation while walking naturally, greatly enhancing the product's health benefits and user experience. Furthermore, the upper surface of the inner sole 3 features massage protrusions, which can be staggered vertically with the massage pillars 31 or partially overlap. These protrusions directly contact the skin of the foot, providing a more direct and extensive contact massage, significantly improving the comprehensiveness and comfort of the massage.
[0033] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the massage column 31 located at the heel is larger than that of the massage column 31 located at the sole of the foot, which gives the massage column 31 located at the heel a larger pressure-bearing cross section, providing stronger structural support and preventing excessive deformation or even collapse of the massage column 31 under heavy pressure due to its thinness; the massage column 31 located at the sole of the foot can provide appropriate stimulation without hindering deformation, maintaining the flexibility and comfort of the sole of the foot.
[0034] Furthermore, the massage insole 3 is made of foam material, and the material hardness of the massage insole 3 is lower than that of the outsole 2. The soft massage posts 31 feel warm and smooth when in contact with the sole of the foot, avoiding the pain caused by the rubber directly piercing the sole of the foot, making it especially suitable for long-term wear; when walking, the elastic hysteresis effect of the massage posts 31 can absorb some of the impact from the ground, and also has a shock absorption function.
[0035] Furthermore, the lower end of the massage column 31 is located on the same endpoint arc surface, which is parallel to the arc surface of the bottom of the outsole 2. This design makes the lower surface contour of the massage column 31 consistent with the walking arc of the outsole 2, resulting in smoother sole bending and a more natural transition between the forefoot and heel, without any localized support or feeling of being suspended. When the wearer walks, the pressure on the sole is transferred smoothly, improving the fit between the sole and the ground and providing a feel closer to traditional soles, avoiding the harshness caused by the protruding massage column 31. While achieving the foot massage function, it maximizes the preservation of the original biomimetic arc design advantages of the sole, enhancing overall wearing comfort.
[0036] The product form of this utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments in this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to it based on similar ideas should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
