[0063] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a cane foot pad includes an anti-slip base 20 and a connecting seat 10 for connecting with a cane. In this embodiment, both the anti-slip base 20 and the connecting seat 10 are made of hard plastic material; preferably, the hard plastic material is nylon.

[0065] An elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 is integrally injection molded between the anti-slip base 20 and the connecting seat 10, and the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 covers the outer surface of the connecting seat 10. Preferably, the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 is integrally injection molded between the base body 21 and the connecting seat 10.

[0066] The connecting seat 10 is suspended above the anti-slip base 20. The upper surface of the connecting seat 10 is recessed to form a mounting groove 11 for the cane to extend into and connect. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 111 protruding inwards along its circumferential spacing. These reinforcing ribs 111 increase the contact area between the cane and the connecting seat 10, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the cane and the connecting seat 10.

[0067] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the connector 10 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 12 at intervals in the vertical direction. The plurality of annular grooves 12 increase the contact area between the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 and the connector 10, thereby ensuring the interlocking connection strength between the hard rubber connector 10 and the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30, and improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the two.

[0068] In another embodiment, a reinforcing block 13 is connected to the lower end face of the connecting seat 10. Preferably, the reinforcing block 13 and the connecting seat 10 are integrally connected. The outer surface of the reinforcing block 13 is recessed with a reinforcing groove 14 along its circumference. Through the reinforcing block 13 and its reinforcing groove 14, the contact area between the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 and the connecting seat 10 can be further increased, thereby ensuring the interlocking connection strength between the hard rubber connecting seat 10 and the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30, improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the two, and to a certain extent increasing the structural strength at the connection with the cane.

[0069] The anti-slip base 20 includes a base body 21 and at least two support feet 22 spaced circumferentially. A third groove 211 is recessed downwards on the upper surface of the base body 21. An annular protrusion 212 protrudes upwards from the center of the inner bottom wall of the third groove 211, with the upper surface of the annular protrusion 212 being significantly lower than the upper surface of the base body 21. A plurality of through holes 213 are circumferentially formed on the inner bottom wall of the third groove 211, all located around the annular protrusion 212.

[0070] The lower end face of the seat 21 is recessed upwards with a fourth groove 214, and the inner top wall of the fourth groove 214 is recessed upwards along the circumferential direction with a fifth groove 215. Each through hole 213 penetrates from the inner bottom wall of the third groove 211 to the inner top wall of the fifth groove 215, and then the third groove 211 is connected to the fifth groove 215 through the corresponding through hole 213.

[0071] Each support leg 22 has one end connected to the base 21, and the bottom of the other end is provided with an elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34.

[0072] The lower end face of the elastic soft rubber anti-slip mat 34 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 341, each first groove 341 penetrating the outer surface of the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30. Through the cooperation of the plurality of first grooves 341, water accumulation is prevented while reducing the contact area with the ground, thereby increasing the friction with the ground.

[0073] Each support foot 22 has a second groove 221 recessed downwards on the top surface of the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34, and a step portion 222 is formed in the second groove 221. The inner bottom wall of the second groove 221 is recessed downwards and has a through hole 223 extending to the bottom end of the support foot 22; the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34 is integrally injection molded into the second groove 221 from bottom to top through the through hole 223.

[0074] In this embodiment, a sixth groove 224 is recessed upward on the lower end face of each support leg 22, and each sixth groove 224 is connected to the fourth groove 214. The through hole 223 extends through to the inner top wall of the sixth groove 224.

[0075] The inner walls of the sixth groove 224 are connected by inclined plates 225, and adjacent inclined plates 225 are connected by longitudinal plates 226. The inner top wall of the sixth groove 224 at the other end of each support leg 22 is provided with two I-shaped protrusions 227 and two T-shaped protrusions 228.

[0076] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional profile of the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34 includes a first outwardly convex arc-shaped edge 342, a first inclined edge 343, a second inclined edge 344, a second outwardly convex arc-shaped edge 345, a third inclined edge 346, and a fourth inclined edge 347 connected end to end.

[0077] The first convex arc-shaped edge 342 is connected to the first inclined edge 343 through the first convex circular arc 351, the first inclined edge 343 is connected to the second inclined edge 344 through the second convex circular arc 352, the third inclined edge 346 is connected to the fourth inclined edge 347 through the third convex circular arc 353, and the fourth inclined edge 347 is connected to the first convex arc-shaped edge 342 through the fourth convex circular arc 354.

[0078] The first convex arc edge 342, the first inclined edge 343, the first convex circular arc 351, the fourth inclined edge 347, and the fourth convex circular arc 354 together form a contact surface for contacting the ground.

[0079] The elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 includes a fixing part 31 for injection molding into the anti-slip base 20 and a connecting part exposed outside the anti-slip base 20.

[0080] In this embodiment, the fixing part 31 is integrally injection molded into the third groove 211, the annular protrusion 212, the through hole 213 and the fifth groove 215 of the base body 21.

[0081] The fixing part 31 is integrally connected to the connecting part, and the connecting part includes a covering part 32 covering the outer surface of the connecting seat 10 and an attaching part 33 injection molded on the inner surfaces of both the seat body 21 and the support foot 22.

[0082] The lower section of the covering portion 32 is provided with at least two annular grooves 321, and an annular boss 322 is formed between two adjacent annular grooves 321. The shock absorption performance of this embodiment is improved by the cooperation of multiple annular grooves 321 and their annular bosses 322.

[0083] The mounting part 33 is integrally injection molded into the fourth groove 214 and the sixth groove 224 at the other end of the non-support foot 22, and covers the inclined plate 225 and the longitudinal plate 226. The mounting part 33 is integrally connected to the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34.

[0084] Preferably, the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34 is integrally injection molded at the bottom end of each support foot 22. The elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34 is integrally injection molded in the sixth groove 224 at the other end of the support foot 22 and covers the two I-shaped protrusions 227 and the two T-shaped protrusions 228.

[0085] In this embodiment, the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34 is formed simultaneously with the injection molding of the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30. Preferably, the soft rubber material of the elastic soft rubber anti-slip pad 34 and the elastic soft rubber sleeve 30 is TPE or TPR.

[0086] Next, we will introduce a method for manufacturing a cane foot pad, characterized by the following steps:

[0087] (1) An anti-slip base 20 and a connecting seat 10 for connecting with a cane are respectively injection molded from hard plastic material;

[0088] (2) Place the anti-slip base 20 and the connecting seat 10 into the mold cavity and inject soft rubber material to form an elastic soft rubber sleeve 30, which covers the outer surface of the connecting seat 10.

[0089] A cane includes a cane body and a cane foot pad connected to the cane body. The cane foot pad is the cane foot pad of this embodiment.

[0090] In summary, the key design feature of this utility model is that it uses an elastic soft rubber sleeve integrally injection molded between the anti-slip base and the connecting seat, while both the anti-slip base and the connecting seat are made of hard rubber material, to achieve an integrated structure that combines soft and hard materials. This eliminates the need for disassembly, reduces assembly time and labor costs, improves processing efficiency, and ensures elasticity while enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0091] Secondly, the addition of reinforcing ribs ensures the stability and reliability of the connection with the cane;

[0092] Furthermore, the first convex arc edge, the first inclined edge, the first convex circular arc, the fourth inclined edge, and the fourth convex circular arc together form a contact surface for contacting the ground, which increases the contact area with the ground and improves the anti-slip performance.

[0093] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
