Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to a surgical shoe with an arch support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Surgical shoes are essential protective equipment for medical staff during surgery. They mainly need to have multiple functions such as foot protection (preventing liquid penetration), biomechanical support (relieving pressure from standing for 8-12 hours), and ease of use (quick put on and take off). They are used to protect the feet of medical staff from contaminants such as blood and body fluids that may be present during surgery, and to prevent slipping caused by blood flow. At the same time, they provide medical staff with a comfortable wearing experience and stable support, ensuring their flexibility and safety during surgical procedures, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of surgical procedures.

[0003] Currently, existing surgical shoes have many shortcomings in use. In terms of protection, they lack effective collection structures for blood and other fluids that splatter during surgery. This allows blood to easily flow along the shoe surface to the ground, increasing the risk of contamination in the operating room and potentially causing medical staff to slip and fall, leading to cross-infection. Regarding arch support, the support height is fixed and cannot be adjusted to suit different users' arches, easily causing foot fatigue with prolonged wear. In terms of ankle support and ease of use, they lack adjustable support structures, making it difficult to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs, and breathability needs improvement.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a surgical shoe with a blood storage groove, an air chamber with adjustable arch support height, and a multi-angle adjustable support part, as well as good breathability, to solve the problems of insufficient protection, uncomfortable support, and inconvenience of use in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a surgical shoe with an arch support structure to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a surgical shoe with an arch support structure, comprising: an upper, a sole fixedly connected to the underside of the upper, the upper being arc-shaped and having a groove at the connection point with the sole for storing splashed blood; a receiving chamber corresponding to the arch of the foot inside the sole, the receiving chamber containing multiple inflation chambers, the support height of the arch position being adjusted by inflation; and a support part connected to the upper via an adjustment knob, the support part being adjustable to three angles to adapt to different user needs.

[0007] Preferably, the sidewall of the shoe upper has multiple downward-facing through holes for air circulation and to prevent blood splashing.

[0008] Preferably, the inflation chamber includes a first inflation chamber, a second inflation chamber, and a third inflation chamber, wherein the second inflation chamber is circular and together with the first and third inflation chambers fills the receiving cavity inside the sole. Each of the first, second, and third inflation chambers is provided with an inflation valve, which is located on the side of the sole.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment knob has a paddle inside, and the paddle is made of elastic material.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the upper of the shoe at the position corresponding to the adjustment button. One end of the connecting rod is provided with a positioning buckle, and the positioning buckle is provided with three slots. The shoe can be fixed in the three slots respectively by rotating the support part paddle.

[0011] Preferably, when the paddle is in the first slot a position, the support part is folded and stored on the shoe upper; when the paddle is in the second slot b position, the support part is in a position parallel to the shoe upper; when the paddle is in the third slot c position, the support part becomes a bracket, so that the sole is placed at 45°. In this state, after the user puts on the shoe, the paddle slides into the second slot b, and the support part automatically springs back to a position parallel to the shoe upper, wrapping the user's ankle.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this patent are significant, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0013] Superior protective performance: The grooves at the junction of the upper and sole effectively store blood splashes during surgery, preventing blood from flowing everywhere and causing contamination, and effectively preventing medical staff from slipping on blood and getting cross-infected; the downward-facing openings on the side of the upper ensure air circulation, keeping feet dry, and prevent blood from splashing into the shoe, further enhancing the protective effect and providing a safer surgical environment for medical staff.

[0014] More flexible and comfortable arch support: Multiple air chambers inside the sole allow for adjustment of the air volume to change the support height of the arch, adapting to different arch shapes and needs. Whether you have a high arch, low arch, or normal arch, you will receive a close and comfortable support, effectively reducing foot fatigue from prolonged standing and walking, and lowering the risk of foot injury.

[0015] The support unit is versatile and practical: it can be adjusted to three angles via a knob to meet the needs of different scenarios. The folded storage state facilitates shoe storage and carrying; the position parallel to the shoe upper provides stable support and wrapping for the ankle, enhancing wearing stability; acting as a support allows the sole to be placed at a 45° angle, making it easy for users to put on and take off the shoes. After putting on the shoes, the support unit automatically springs back to a position parallel to the shoe upper, continuing to provide reliable ankle support, improving ease of use and comfort.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a surgical shoe with an arch support structure, comprising: an upper 1, a sole 2 fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper 1, the upper 1 being arc-shaped and having a groove at the connection with the sole 2 for storing splashed blood; the sole 2 having a receiving chamber corresponding to the arch of the foot, the receiving chamber having multiple inflation chambers, the support height of the arch position being adjusted by inflation; and a support part 3 connected to the upper 1 via an adjustment knob 10, the support part 3 being adjustable to three angles to adapt to different user needs.

[0027] Specifically, the upper 1 and the sole 2 are made of one piece, and the overall material of the shoe is preferably polycarbonate, which takes into account both lightness and support performance; the accommodating chamber accounts for 35% of the total length of the sole 2 and starts 55mm from the forefoot.

[0028] During use, medical staff wear surgical shoes. The groove at the junction of the upper 1 and the sole 2 catches any splashed blood, preventing it from flowing out. The inflation chamber expands, causing the top plate to deform and adjusting the arch support height to suit different users' arch shapes. The angle of the support can be adjusted using the adjustment knob 10 to achieve the desired wearing effect.

[0029] To further optimize the above technical solution, the side wall of the shoe upper 1 is provided with multiple downward-facing through holes 4 for air circulation and to prevent blood splashing.

[0030] Specifically, the through holes 4 have a diameter of 0.3-0.5 cm, number 6-10, and are evenly distributed on the side wall of the shoe upper 1, with the openings tilted downwards at a 15-30° angle. The through holes 4 allow air to circulate between the inside of the shoe and the outside, keeping the feet dry. Because the openings face downwards, they effectively prevent blood and other liquids from entering the shoe through the through holes, thus preventing blood splattering.

[0031] To further optimize the above technical solution, the inflation chamber includes a first inflation chamber 5, a second inflation chamber 6 and a third inflation chamber 7, wherein the second inflation chamber 6 is circular and together with the first inflation chamber 5 and the third inflation chamber 7 fills the receiving cavity inside the sole 2. The first inflation chamber 5, the second inflation chamber 6 and the third inflation chamber 7 are respectively provided with inflation valves 8, which are located on the side of the sole 2.

[0032] Specifically, the air chambers are preferably made of high-strength latex, which has good elasticity and sealing properties. Each air chamber is independent, but the three chambers work together to more precisely adjust the support strength and height, adapting to different arch needs. Each air chamber is equipped with an inflation valve 8, one end of which connects to the air chamber, and the other end protrudes from the side of the sole 2, facilitating inflation and deflation. The inflation valve 8 can be inflated by holding the air bladder; when deflation is needed, the valve opening is gently squeezed to create a gap in the seal, allowing air to escape.

[0033] To further optimize the above technical solution, the adjustment knob 10 is provided with a paddle 13, which is made of elastic material.

[0034] Specifically, the adjustment knob 10 has a reserved installation space inside, allowing the elastic lever 13 to be fixed in a suitable position inside the adjustment knob 10, ensuring that the lever 13 can extend and retract flexibly and cooperate with the slot on the positioning buckle 12. The lever 13 relies on its own elasticity to lock into the slot of the positioning buckle 12, thereby fixing the angle of the support part 3. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the support part 3, an external force is applied to rotate the support part 3, and the lever 13 overcomes the elastic force, slides out from the current slot, enters another slot, and locks in place, completing the angle adjustment.

[0035] To further optimize the above technical solution, a connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the shoe upper 1 at the corresponding position of the adjustment button 10. One end of the connecting rod 11 is provided with a positioning buckle 12, and the positioning buckle 12 is provided with three slots. The buckle 13 of the rotating support part 3 can be fixed in the three slots respectively.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting rod 11 connects the upper 1 and the positioning buckle 12. The slot on the positioning buckle 12 is used to hold the lever 13, thereby fixing the angle of the support part 3. When the support part 3 is rotated, the lever 13 slides between the slots. By cooperating with different slots, the support part 13 can be fixed at different angles.

[0037] To further optimize the above technical solution, when the paddle 13 is in the first slot a position, the support part 3 is folded and stored on the shoe upper 1; when the paddle 13 is in the second slot b position, the support part 3 is in a position parallel to the shoe upper 1; when the paddle 13 is in the third slot c position, the support part 3 becomes a bracket, so that the sole 2 is placed at 45°. In this state, after the user puts on the shoes, the paddle 13 slides into the second slot b, and the support part 3 automatically springs back to a position parallel to the shoe upper 1, wrapping the user's ankle.

[0038] Specifically, in designing the support part 3, the lever 13, and the positioning buckle 12, their cooperation enables the support part 3 to achieve three angular states. Through precise calculation and experimentation, the position and angle of each slot are determined to ensure that the support part 3 can achieve the corresponding state in different slot positions and can automatically spring back after the shoe is put on.

[0039] Please see the appendix Figure 4 A. When the paddle 13 is in the first slot a, the support part 3 is folded and stored on the upper 1, reducing space occupation;

[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 4 B, when the paddle 13 is in the second slot b, the support part 3 is parallel to the upper 1, providing wrapping support for the ankle;

[0041] Please see the appendix Figure 4 C. When the paddle 13 is in the third slot c, the support part 3 acts as a bracket to make the sole of the shoe 45°, which makes it easier for the user to put on the shoes. After putting on the shoes, the foot applies force to the support part 3, causing the paddle 13 to slide into the second slot b. Under the action of its own elasticity or structural design, the support part 3 automatically rebounds to a position parallel to the shoe surface, wraps around the ankle, and provides support for the ankle.
