Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear and apparel technology, specifically to a long-life, breathable, and moisture-wicking 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] While the aforementioned existing technologies can solve the corresponding technical problems, they still have certain drawbacks: when existing uppers are used on athletic shoes, because the direction of movement during exercise is irregular, the toe area and the side of the upper near the midsole are prone to direct contact with the ground due to the wearer's oblique movement. At the same time, these two areas are subjected to greater pressure from the foot during exercise, making them prone to damage. Existing uppers often improve the strength of these two areas by hot-pressing a layer on the upper, but the breathability of the hot-pressed layer is very poor, which will significantly reduce the breathability of the upper and affect the wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a long-lasting, breathable, and moisture-wicking shoe upper with high edge strength and good breathability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a high-lifespan, breathable, and moisture-wicking shoe upper, comprising a mesh layer with multiple polygonal breathable mesh holes and an opening integrally formed on the mesh layer at the heel of the human foot. The edge of the mesh layer is formed with a protective layer by a jacquard process. The protective layer extends from the heel of the mesh layer to both sides of the forefoot of the mesh layer. The protective layer comprises a first yarn composed of high-strength yarn and a second yarn composed of high-strength yarn disposed below the first yarn. The middle section of the first yarn is bent upward to form several first yarn loops. The middle section of the second yarn is bent upward and passes through one side of the first yarn loop and exits from the other side of the first yarn loop to form a second yarn loop. The number of second yarn loops is the same as the number of first yarn loops.

[0006] A further improvement is that the mesh layer has an integrally formed tongue mounting opening extending towards the front end of the mesh layer at the edge of the insertion opening, and a second protective layer identical to the protective layer is formed at the edge of the tongue mounting opening through a jacquard process.

[0007] A further improvement is that a high-density mesh layer is sewn and fixed in the middle section of the mesh layer, and the high-density mesh layer extends obliquely from the mesh layer located at the forefoot position of the human foot to the edge of the mesh layer located at the heel position of the human foot.

[0008] A further improvement is that a third yarn is provided below the second yarn. The middle section of the third yarn is bent upwards, passes through one side of the second yarn loop, and exits from the other side of the second yarn loop to form a third yarn loop. The number of the third yarn loops is the same as the number of the second yarn loops.

[0009] A further improvement is that a first vent is formed at the intersection of the first and second yarn loops.

[0010] A further improvement is that a second vent is formed at the intersection of the second and third yarn loops.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: This utility model forms the upper body of the shoe with a mesh layer having multiple polygonal breathable mesh holes, thus having high breathability. At the same time, a protective layer extending to the forefoot is formed at the edge of the mesh layer. The protective layer is woven with high-strength first yarn and second yarn. A first yarn loop is formed on the first yarn, and a second yarn loop is formed by passing through both sides of the first yarn loop to form a second yarn loop that intersects with the first yarn loop. This forms a protective layer similar to a chainmail structure, which greatly improves the strength of the edge and forefoot of the mesh layer, making it less prone to tearing and damage. At the same time, the protective layer has a first vent and a second vent. Compared with the traditional heat-pressed layer, the breathability is greatly improved, making it less stuffy and more comfortable to wear. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] See Figure 1-2As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a high-lifespan, breathable, and moisture-wicking shoe upper, including a mesh layer 1 with multiple polygonal breathable mesh holes and an opening 2 integrally formed on the mesh layer 1 at the heel of the human foot. A protective layer 5 is formed on the edge of the mesh layer 1 using a jacquard process. The protective layer 5 includes a first yarn 51 composed of high-strength yarn and a second yarn 52 composed of high-strength yarn disposed below the first yarn 51. The middle section of the first yarn 51 is bent upwards to form several first yarn loops 53, and the second yarn 52... The section bends upward and passes through one side of the first yarn loop 53 and exits from the other side of the first yarn loop 53 to form a second yarn loop 54. The number of second yarn loops 54 is the same as the number of first yarn loops 53. The protective layer 5 extends from the heel of the mesh layer 1 to both sides of the forefoot of the mesh layer 1. During production, the mesh layer 1 with a large number of polygonal breathable mesh holes is first formed, and then the protective layer 5 is formed on the mesh layer 1 through a jacquard process. The protective layer 5 is composed of a first yarn 51 and a second yarn 52. The first yarn 51 and the second yarn 52... Yarn 52 is a high-strength yarn made of 65% recycled polyester and 35% environmentally friendly TPU. A first yarn loop 53 is formed by pulling the first yarn 51 upwards. The second yarn 52 is then pulled upwards and passes through one side of the first yarn loop 53, exiting from the other side to form a second yarn loop 54. The first yarn loop 53 and the second yarn loop 54 are then interleaved and stacked. This process of repeatedly pulling the first yarn 51 and the second yarn 54 upwards and interleaving creates multiple interleaved and stacked first yarns. The loop 53 and the second yarn loop 54 form a protective layer 5 through multiple first yarns 51 and second yarns 54, making the protective layer 5 form a chainmail-like structure and covering the edge of the mesh layer 1 and the forefoot area. Then the upper can be installed into the midsole of the shoe. At this time, the user's foot can be put into the upper through the opening 2. When the wearer is exercising, the protective layer greatly improves the strength of the edge of the mesh layer 1 and the forefoot area, and can effectively resist the friction of external objects on the upper, making it less prone to tearing and damage.

[0017] The mesh layer 1 has an integrally formed tongue mounting opening 3 extending towards the front end of the mesh layer 1 at the edge of the insertion opening 2. The edge of the tongue mounting opening 3 has a second protective layer 6, which is the same as the protective layer 5, formed by jacquard process. This facilitates the insertion of the tongue through the tongue mounting opening 3, making the tongue installation simpler and more convenient. At the same time, it enhances the strength of the mesh layer 1 at the tongue mounting opening 3, making the edge of the tongue mounting opening 3 less prone to tearing.

[0018] A high-density mesh layer 4 is also sewn and fixed in the middle section of the mesh layer 1. The high-density mesh layer 4 extends obliquely from the mesh layer 1 at the forefoot position to the edge of the mesh layer 1 at the heel position. This helps to improve the lateral support of the mesh layer 1 by setting the high-density mesh layer 4 obliquely in the middle section of the mesh layer 1, thereby making the mesh layer 1 less prone to excessive deformation and more stable when making lateral movements while wearing it.

[0019] Below the second yarn 52, there is also a third yarn 55. The middle section of the third yarn 55 bends upward and passes through one side of the second yarn loop 54 and comes out from the other side of the second yarn loop 54 to form a third yarn loop 56. The number of third yarn loops 56 is the same as the number of second yarn loops 54. This is beneficial to further improve the overall strength of the protective layer 5 through the third yarn 55 and make the density of the protective layer 5 higher, thereby further improving the tear resistance of the shoe upper.

[0020] A first vent 57 is formed at the intersection of the first yarn loop 53 and the second yarn loop 54, which helps to effectively improve the breathability and heat dissipation of the protective layer 5 through the first vent 57, and effectively improve the wearing comfort.

[0021] A second vent 58 is formed at the intersection of the second yarn loop 54 and the third yarn loop 56, which helps to effectively improve the breathability and heat dissipation of the protective layer 5 through the second vent 58, thereby effectively improving the wearing comfort.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During production, a mesh layer 1 with numerous polygonal breathable mesh holes is first formed. Then, a protective layer 5 is formed on the mesh layer 1 using a jacquard process. The protective layer 5 consists of a first yarn 51 and a second yarn 52. Both the first yarn 51 and the second yarn 52 are high-strength yarns made from a blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% environmentally friendly TPU. The first yarn 51 is pulled upwards to form a first yarn loop 53. The second yarn 52 is then pulled upwards and passes through one side of the first yarn loop 53. After passing through the first yarn loop 53, it exits from the other side to form a second yarn loop 54, thus connecting the first yarn loop 53 with the second yarn loop. The yarns 54 are interlaced and stacked, and the first yarn 51 and the second yarn 54 are repeatedly interlaced to form multiple interlaced and stacked first yarn loops 53 and second yarn loops 54. The multiple first yarns 51 and second yarns 54 form a protective layer 5, which forms a chainmail-like structure and covers the edge of the mesh layer 1 and the forefoot area. Then the upper can be installed into the midsole of the shoe. At this time, the user's foot can be put into the upper through the opening 2. When the wearer is exercising, the protective layer greatly improves the strength of the edge of the mesh layer 1 and the forefoot area, and can effectively resist the friction of external objects on the upper, making it less prone to tearing and damage.
