Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semi-finished shoe upper technology, and in particular to a high-strength mesh shoe upper. Background Technology

[0002] In today's athletic shoe market, with global warming and increasing demands for comfort during exercise, breathability has become a key consideration in athletic shoe design. Especially in hot summer environments or during high-intensity exercise, feet generate a lot of heat and sweat. Traditional upper materials often suffer from poor breathability, leading to stuffiness and dampness inside the shoe, reducing comfort and potentially causing health problems such as odor and athlete's foot. Therefore, to address this issue, mesh uppers have emerged.

[0003] The unique structure of mesh uppers allows air to circulate freely within the shoe, achieving efficient heat dissipation and sweat wicking, keeping feet dry and greatly improving wearing comfort. At the same time, compared to traditional upper materials, mesh is lighter and thinner, significantly reducing the overall weight of the shoe and providing athletes with a lighter wearing experience, reducing energy consumption during exercise. This advantage is particularly evident in sports that require high agility and speed, such as running, tennis, and badminton.

[0004] However, while mesh uppers offer excellent breathability and lightweight properties, they also have significant limitations, with low strength being the most prominent issue. During high-intensity sports, athletes' feet frequently make rapid and dramatic movements, such as sudden stops, changes of direction, and jumps in basketball and badminton. These movements subject the upper to tremendous tensile, torsional, and impact forces. Due to the inherent physical properties of mesh, its tensile and tear resistance is insufficient when subjected to such high-intensity external forces, making it prone to mesh tearing and stitching breakage, severely impacting the shoe's lifespan and its protective performance for the feet.

[0005] For high-intensity athletes, shoe performance directly impacts athletic performance and injury risk. Insufficient upper strength can lead to decreased foot support and lockdown during exercise, causing the athlete's foot to lose stability and increasing the likelihood of sports injuries such as sprains and ankle strains. Therefore, this project aims to increase the strength of mesh uppers. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a high-strength mesh shoe upper to solve the strength problem of mesh shoe uppers.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a high-strength mesh upper, comprising a base fabric layer, wherein the base fabric layer has first breathable slits on its left and right sides and a second breathable slit at its front end, the first breathable slits extending towards the front and rear ends of the base fabric layer, and the diameter of the first breathable slits gradually decreasing from the middle to the front and rear ends; the second breathable slit is located between the first breathable slits on both sides, the left and right sides of the second breathable slits extending towards the rear ends of the base fabric layer and the slit diameter gradually decreasing; a mesh layer is overlaid on the base fabric layer, and a front reinforcing piece, a tongue reinforcing piece, and a heel reinforcing piece are respectively provided at the front end, the rear ends of the left and right sides of the mesh layer, and the opening of the shoe tongue; reinforcing structures are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the mesh layer.

[0008] A further improvement is made: the reinforcing structure includes two groups of reinforcing ropes, a first reinforcing rope group and a second reinforcing rope group, each consisting of several reinforcing ropes. The first reinforcing rope group is arranged in a zigzag shape on the mesh layer, with its front and rear ends respectively positioned below the front reinforcing piece and the heel reinforcing piece. The second reinforcing rope group is located inside the first reinforcing rope group and is arranged on the mesh layer, with its front and rear ends respectively positioned below the tongue reinforcing piece and the heel reinforcing piece.

[0009] A further improvement is that the spacing between the reinforcing ropes of the first reinforcing rope group and the second reinforcing rope group gradually increases from front to back.

[0010] A further improvement is that the reinforcing rope is a nylon braided rope, and the reinforcing rope is sewn and fixed to the mesh layer by transparent fishing line.

[0011] A further improvement is that decorative parts are provided on the first reinforcing rope group and the second reinforcing rope group.

[0012] A further improvement is that the decorative part is a rope embroidery sewn onto a portion of the reinforcing ropes of the first reinforcing rope group and the second reinforcing rope group.

[0013] A further improvement is that the decorative part is beaded embroidery applied to a portion of the reinforcing ropes of the first and second reinforcing rope groups.

[0014] A further improvement is that the base fabric layer is a woven fabric, the woven fabric has breathable holes formed by the woven process, and the surface of the base fabric layer has a pattern layer.

[0015] A further improvement is that the ventilation holes are formed by weaving three warp threads and three weft threads simultaneously.

[0016] A further improvement is that the front reinforcing plate, the tongue reinforcing plate, and the heel reinforcing plate are made of TPU.

[0017] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The first and second ventilation openings in the base fabric layer, combined with the mesh layer, maintain the advantages of traditional mesh uppers, such as free airflow and efficient heat dissipation and sweat wicking, ensuring dry and comfortable feet. At the same time, the TPU reinforcement plates at the front end, left and right rear ends, and tongue opening of the mesh layer, along with the reinforcing rope structure on the left and right sides, greatly improve the tensile and tear resistance of the upper, effectively solving the problem of insufficient strength of mesh uppers. This meets the needs of the upper to withstand tensile, torsional, and impact forces during high-intensity sports, extending the lifespan of the shoes.

[0019] 2. The reinforcing ropes are designed with a zigzag shape, and the front and rear ends are fixed below the reinforcing plate to prevent loose stitching at the ends of the reinforcing ropes from affecting the strength of the upper. The zigzag distribution of the reinforcing ropes can provide precise support in key stress areas, effectively dispersing external forces generated during exercise, enhancing the fit and stability of the foot, and reducing the risk of sports injuries such as sprains and ankle strains for athletes. At the same time, the design of the reinforcing ropes, with the spacing diverging from front to back, ensures that the reinforcing ropes are densely distributed at the front and evenly distributed at the rear, increasing the area of ​​the reinforcing ropes covering the ankle and improving support strength.

[0020] 3. The reinforcing ropes are made of nylon braided rope and are fixed by sewing with transparent fishing line. This not only ensures a firm bond between the reinforcing structure and the mesh layer, improving overall durability, but also avoids affecting the breathability of the mesh due to improper materials or fixing methods. Decorative parts such as rope embroidery and bead embroidery are set on the reinforcing rope group, giving the shoe upper a unique and beautiful appearance without affecting the function, and meeting consumers' needs for personalized and fashionable sports shoes.

[0021] 4. Compared to the traditional method of punching ventilation holes in the base fabric layer, the base fabric layer in this case uses woven fabric and forms ventilation holes in one piece through weaving. While ensuring the breathability, it also enhances the strength and stability of the base fabric layer itself, further improving the overall strength of the shoe upper.

[0022] 5. The pattern layer formed by transfer or spraying on the base fabric layer can be seen through the mesh layer, further enriching the shoe upper design without affecting its functionality. Attached Figure Description
