Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe upper technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional 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 three-dimensional mesh upper for solving the strength problem of mesh uppers.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a three-dimensional mesh upper, comprising a base fabric layer, the base fabric layer being woven from warp and weft yarns, with uniformly arranged breathable holes integrally woven into the base fabric layer, a three-dimensional mesh layer being movably disposed on the base fabric layer, with a movable gap between the three-dimensional mesh layer and the base fabric layer, reinforcing pieces being provided at the toe and tongue opening of the three-dimensional mesh layer, a first reinforcing protrusion structure for increasing the three-dimensionality of the mesh and strengthening the upper being disposed between the inner surface of the three-dimensional mesh layer and the base fabric layer, and a second reinforcing protrusion structure for increasing the three-dimensionality of the mesh and strengthening the upper being disposed on the outer surface of the three-dimensional mesh layer.

[0008] A further improvement is that the first reinforcing protrusion structure includes a first reinforcing rope and a second reinforcing rope. The first reinforcing rope is sewn and fixed to the three-dimensional mesh surface layer from the outer heel edge, around the shoe tongue, and around the inner heel edge. The second reinforcing rope is sewn and fixed to the inner side of the front end of the three-dimensional mesh surface layer in the front-back direction. The outer diameter of the first reinforcing rope and the second reinforcing rope is 3-5mm.

[0009] A further improvement is made in that: the second reinforcing protrusion structure includes a third reinforcing rope group and a fourth reinforcing rope group. The third reinforcing rope group is located on the outer side of the three-dimensional mesh layer along the front-back direction, and the fourth reinforcing rope group is located between the first reinforcing rope and the second reinforcing rope along the front-back direction. Both the third and fourth reinforcing rope groups include a plurality of third and fourth reinforcing ropes. The third reinforcing ropes are evenly distributed and sewn and fixed to the three-dimensional mesh layer along the front-back direction. The fourth reinforcing ropes are wrapped around the outer periphery of the third reinforcing ropes and sewn and fixed to the three-dimensional mesh layer. The outer diameter of the third reinforcing rope is 0.4-1mm, and the outer diameter of the fourth reinforcing rope is 1-3mm.

[0010] A further improvement is that the reinforcing sheet is disposed on the outer or inner surface of the three-dimensional mesh layer, the reinforcing sheet is a PU sheet, and the PU sheet is sewn and fixed to the three-dimensional mesh layer and the base fabric layer.

[0011] A further improvement is that a fluorescent ink layer is provided on the outer surface of the base fabric layer, and the fluorescent ink layer is composed of fluorescent inks of at least two colors.

[0012] A further improvement is that a transparent fluorescent layer is coated on the surface of the first, second, third, and fourth reinforcing ropes.

[0013] A further improvement is that the outer diameter of the first and second reinforcing ropes is 3mm.

[0014] A further improvement is that the outer diameter of the third reinforcing rope is 0.8 mm.

[0015] A further improvement is that the outer diameter of the fourth reinforcing rope is 1.5 mm.

[0016] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The integrated woven perforation design of the base fabric layer, combined with the gaps between the three-dimensional mesh layer and the base fabric layer, as well as the three-dimensional mesh structure, forms an efficient air circulation channel. Compared with traditional mesh uppers, it not only gives the upper strength but also further improves air flow. It can quickly expel heat and sweat from inside the shoe during high temperatures or high-intensity exercise in summer, keeping the feet dry and comfortable, and effectively avoiding health problems such as odor and athlete's foot caused by stuffiness and dampness.

[0018] 2. The 3D mesh upper layer is made of 3D mesh yarn, which is superior to ordinary mesh layers in both thickness and strength. The first and second reinforcing ropes in the first reinforcing protrusion structure, as well as the third and fourth reinforcing rope groups in the second reinforcing protrusion structure, reinforce the 3D mesh upper layer, limiting its deformation on both the inner and outer sides. This enhances the upper's tensile and tear resistance when subjected to stretching, torsion, and impact forces. In high-intensity sports such as basketball and badminton, when athletes make sudden stops, changes of direction, and jumps, the upper provides stable support and a secure fit, reducing the likelihood of sports injuries such as sprains and ankle strains caused by insufficient upper strength.

[0019] 3. The three-dimensional mesh layer can cushion the foot when it collides with the outside. The PU reinforcement plates set at the toe and tongue effectively increase the strength of these parts, prevent the tongue from deforming, and protect the toes from impact injuries.

[0020] 4. The fluorescent ink layer on the outer surface of the base fabric layer and the transparent fluorescent layer on the surface of the first, second, third, and fourth reinforcing ropes can present a variety of pattern effects in both day and night through the superposition of different colors of fluorescence. This not only enriches the appearance of the shoe upper but also satisfies the pursuit of personalization of sports shoes by modern young people. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a three-dimensional mesh upper, including a base fabric layer 10 woven from warp and weft yarns. The base fabric layer 10 has uniformly arranged ventilation holes 11, which increase its breathability but also reduce its support strength for the foot. A three-dimensional mesh layer 12 is movably disposed on the base fabric layer, reinforcing it to increase the overall strength of the upper. There is a gap between the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 and the base fabric layer. The mesh layer 12 used in this invention is a three-dimensional mesh layer 12, which is superior to ordinary mesh layers in terms of thickness and strength. It provides cushioning for the foot during external impacts. The gap and the three-dimensional structure of the mesh layer improve airflow and enhance the breathability of the upper.

[0028] A first reinforcing protrusion structure is provided between the inner surface of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 and the base fabric layer 10 to increase the three-dimensionality of the mesh and strengthen the upper. This first reinforcing protrusion structure includes a first reinforcing cord 13 and a second reinforcing cord 14. The first reinforcing cord 13 is sewn and fixed to the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 from the outer heel edge, around the tongue, and then to the inner heel edge. The second reinforcing cord 14 is sewn and fixed to the inner side of the front end of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 in a front-back direction. The outer diameter of the first reinforcing cord 13 and the second reinforcing cord 14 is 3-5 mm, preferably 3 mm. The first reinforcing cord 13 and the second reinforcing cord 14 partially lift the three-dimensional mesh layer 12, further increasing the gap between the base fabric layer 10 and the three-dimensional mesh layer 12, thus enhancing the layering and three-dimensionality of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12.

[0029] The outer surface of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 is provided with a second reinforcing protrusion structure for increasing the three-dimensionality of the mesh and strengthening the upper. This second reinforcing protrusion structure includes a third reinforcing rope group 15 and a fourth reinforcing rope group 16. The third reinforcing rope group 15 is located on the outer side of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 along the front-back direction, and the fourth reinforcing rope group 16 is located between the first reinforcing rope 13 and the second reinforcing rope 14 along the front-back direction. Both the third reinforcing rope group 15 and the fourth reinforcing rope group 16 include several third reinforcing ropes 17 and fourth reinforcing ropes 18. The third reinforcing ropes 17 are evenly distributed and sewn to the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 along the front-back direction. The fourth reinforcing ropes 18 are wrapped around the outer periphery of the third reinforcing ropes 17 and sewn to the three-dimensional mesh layer 12. The outer diameter of the third reinforcing rope 17 is 0.4-1 mm, preferably 0.8 mm. The outer diameter of the fourth reinforcing rope 18 is 1-3 mm, preferably 1.5 mm.

[0030] The third reinforcing rope 17 and the fourth reinforcing rope 18 limit the deformation of the inner and outer surfaces of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12, thereby strengthening the support of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 for the foot and increasing the stability of the shoe upper when the foot makes sudden stops, changes of direction, jumps, and other movements. The third reinforcing rope 17 and the fourth reinforcing rope 18 have different outer diameters, giving the shoe upper a different sense of layering, which can cater to the personalized requirements of modern young people for sports shoes.

[0031] The three-dimensional mesh layer 12 has a reinforcing piece 19 at the toe and tongue. The reinforcing piece 19 is disposed on the outer or inner surface of the three-dimensional mesh layer 12. The reinforcing piece is a PU sheet, which is sewn and fixed to the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 and the base fabric layer 10. The reinforcing piece 19 increases the strength of the tongue and toe, preventing deformation of the tongue and protecting the toes.

[0032] A fluorescent ink layer 20 is provided on the outer surface of the base fabric layer 10. The fluorescent ink layer 20 is composed of at least two colors of fluorescent ink. During the day, the colors of the ink can be seen through the three-dimensional mesh layer 12 to enrich the shoe surface. At night, the fluorescent effects of different colors on the ink layer can still bring different visual effects to the shoe surface. In addition, a transparent fluorescent layer is coated on the surface of the first reinforcing rope 13, the second reinforcing rope 14, the third reinforcing rope 17, and the fourth reinforcing rope 18. The superposition of different colors of fluorescence outlines different patterns to meet the personalized pursuit of young people.
