Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe heel technology, and in particular to a shoe heel support component. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional ready-made shoes, when worn, experience downward pressure from the heel. As the heel is pushed into the shoe, it easily deforms, requiring the heel to be manually lifted to facilitate insertion, making them inconvenient. Therefore, during shoe upper manufacturing, a support component is incorporated at the heel area to provide support and shape, facilitating the heel's entry. This support component is typically an arc-shaped piece that matches the curvature of the human heel. The side of the arc-shaped support component that contacts the heel is the front, with a concave front and a convex back. In practice, a sponge sheet is first attached to the concave surface of the arc-shaped support component, and then the outer and inner fabrics of the shoe upper conceal the support component and the sponge sheet.
[0003] However, in shoes with support components, the upper edge of the support component is located at the seam between the inner lining and the outer fabric. When a user puts their foot in, the upper edge of the support component will wear down the seam when the foot is forced into the shoe. Over time, the seam may break in places, exposing the upper edge of the support component. As a result, the user's foot will come into contact with the upper edge of the support component when they put it on. However, the hardness of the support component is mostly around 95D, which will cause a chafing sensation on the sole of the foot, making it uncomfortable to wear and, in severe cases, scratching the heel.
[0004] In view of this, the inventors of this case conducted in-depth research on the problem, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shoe heel support to solve the problem that the upper edge of the existing shoe heel support is easily worn by the stitching, resulting in the shoe heel support being exposed and easily scratching the heel.
[0006] To achieve its purpose, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A shoe heel support includes a support body, which is a concave arc surface and a convex arc surface. The concave arc surface has a bottom edge and a side edge extending along the arc direction of the concave arc surface. A thin sheet extending along the side edge is protruding from the side edge of the concave arc surface. The hardness of the thin sheet is 10A-90A, and the width of the thin sheet is 0.1cm-2cm, and the thickness of the thin sheet is 1mm-7mm. With the side of the support body with the concave arc surface as the front, the front side of the thin sheet smoothly transitions with the concave arc surface of the concave arc surface, and the rear side of the thin sheet smoothly transitions with the convex arc surface of the concave arc surface.
[0008] The concave arc component has a front sheet and a rear sheet. The hardness of the rear sheet is 55D-82D. The hardness of the front sheet is the same as that of the sheet. The front sheet and the sheet are integrally formed to form a soft component. The soft component and the rear sheet are integrally formed.
[0009] The front sheet and the thin sheet are integrally injection molded or integrally foamed, and the soft part and the rear sheet are integrally injection molded or integrally foamed.
[0010] The hardness of the sheet is 50A-70A.
[0011] The hardness of the aforementioned rear sheet is 60D-70D.
[0012] Both the concave arc component and the thin sheet mentioned above are elastic components.
[0013] The aforementioned elastic components are all made of one of the following materials: TPU sheet, PVC sheet, TPE sheet, TPEE sheet, nylon sheet, TPR sheet, silicone sheet, and EVA sheet. Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this new shoe heel support component are:
[0014] First, the concave arc component can support the entire heel support component, ensuring the support force of the entire heel support component.
[0015] Second, the thin sheet is relatively soft, making it less likely for the side edge of the thin sheet to wear down the seams. When the heel support is exposed, the thin sheet will not cause any discomfort or pain to the sole of the foot when it is in contact with the side edge of the heel support, resulting in better comfort and less likelihood of scratching the heel.
[0016] Third, while the thin sheet has a certain degree of softness, its width in the vertical direction is also small. This ensures that the entire heel support has a certain support force, and the heel is more comfortable while also making it easier for the heel to slide into the shoe. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 3 This is another structural schematic diagram of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0021] A type of shoe heel support, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the support body includes a support member body, which is a concave arc member 1 with a concave arc surface and a convex arc surface. The concave arc member 1 has a bottom edge and a side edge extending along the arc direction of the concave arc member 1, that is, both the bottom edge and the side edge are arc-shaped edges. The specific structure of the bottom edge and the side edge of the concave arc member 1 is known technology and will not be described in detail here. A thin sheet 2 is protruding from the side edge 200 of the concave arc member 1, extending along the arc direction of the side edge 200. The hardness of the thin sheet 2 is 10A-90A, and the width of the thin sheet 2 in the vertical direction is 0.1cm-2cm, and the thickness of the thin sheet 2 in the front-back direction is 1mm-7mm. Taking the side of the support member body with the concave arc surface as the front, The front side of the thin sheet 2 smoothly transitions to the concave arc surface of the concave arc component 1, and the rear side of the thin sheet 2 smoothly transitions to the convex arc surface of the concave arc component 1. Specifically, the bottom edge 100 of the thin sheet 2 is on the same straight line as the bottom edge of the concave arc component, and the side edge 200 of the thin sheet extends in the same direction as the side edge of the concave arc component. The optimal hardness range of the thin sheet 2 is 50A-70A, and the optimal hardness of the thin sheet 2 is 60A. The optimal width of the thin sheet 2 in the vertical direction is 1cm, and the optimal thickness of the thin sheet 2 is 2mm. Both the concave arc component and the thin sheet are one of the following elastic components: TPU sheet, PVC sheet, TPE sheet, TPEE sheet, nylon sheet, TPR sheet, silicone sheet, EVA sheet, etc.
[0022] The concave arc component 1 has a front sheet 11 and a rear sheet 12. The hardness of the rear sheet 12 is 55D-82D, and the hardness of the front sheet 11 is the same as that of the sheet 2. The front sheet 11 and the sheet 2 are integrally injection molded or integrally foamed to form a soft component. The soft component and the rear sheet 12 are integrally injection molded or integrally foamed. Specifically, the optimal hardness range of the rear sheet 12 is 60D-70D, and the optimal hardness of the rear sheet 12 is 65D. That is, the entire heel support component can first be integrally injection molded or integrally foamed to form a rear sheet 12 of a certain hardness, and then integrally injection molded or integrally foamed to form a soft component integrally connected to the rear sheet 12. The integral injection molding or integral foaming method is a well-known technique to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this new shoe heel support are as follows:
[0024] 1. The rear panel 12 has a certain degree of rigidity, which can support the entire heel support component and ensure the support force of the entire heel support component.
[0025] Second, the thin sheet 2 is relatively soft, which makes it less likely for the side edge of the thin sheet 2 to wear down the seam. When the heel support is exposed, the human foot steps on the side edge of the heel support, and the contact between the thin sheet and the human foot will not cause a feeling of pressure on the foot, resulting in better comfort and less likely to scratch the heel.
[0026] Third, while having a certain degree of softness, the width of the thin sheet in the vertical direction is also small. This ensures that the heel support has a certain support force, and the heel is more comfortable while also making it easier for the heel to slide into the shoe.
[0027] Fourth, the front piece 12 has a certain degree of softness, and when the heel support is exposed, the comfort is better when the heel contacts the front piece 12 and the front side of the heel support.
[0028] The product form of this utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments in this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to it based on similar ideas should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
