Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear and apparel technology, specifically to a cotton fiber environmentally friendly shoe upper. Background Technology

[0002] Shoes are a type of clothing accessory whose function is to protect and cover the user's feet. They are basically composed of a sole and an upper. The sole is the lower part that contacts the ground, while the upper is the upper part that is located on top of the sole. The upper covers the user's foot and connects with the sole to fix the sole to the user's foot, preventing the sole from falling off. The design of the upper can effectively improve the integration of the shoe and foot, and make the shoe more protective of the foot and provide better warmth.

[0003] Although the existing technologies mentioned above can solve the corresponding technical problems, they still have certain drawbacks: In order to achieve better environmental protection, existing shoe uppers usually use highly degradable yarns for weaving. While highly degradable yarns have good biocompatibility and biodegradability, their tensile strength is often poor. When high-intensity sports are performed, the woven shoe uppers are prone to excessive deformation, resulting in poor support and difficulty in fully supporting foot movements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a cotton fiber environmentally friendly shoe upper that offers good support and stability, is not prone to excessive deformation, and provides high comfort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cotton fiber environmentally friendly shoe upper, comprising a shoe upper body woven from environmentally friendly fibers and an opening integrally formed on the shoe upper body at the corresponding position of the heel of the human foot. A high-density woven layer made of environmentally friendly fibers is sewn and fixed on the shoe upper body, extending from the corresponding position of the shoe upper body at the heel of the human foot to the corresponding position of the shoe upper body at the forefoot of the human foot. The high-density woven layer is provided with a plurality of stabilizing blocks.

[0006] A further improvement is that an elastic band layer is sewn and fixed to the edge of the high-density woven layer at the entrance.

[0007] A further improvement is that the front end of the high-density woven layer is provided with an elastic piece that is sewn and fixed to the upper surface of the shoe upper body.

[0008] A further improvement is that the stabilizing block includes an inverted V-shaped upper high-density strip and an inverted V-shaped lower high-density strip disposed below the upper high-density strip.

[0009] A further improvement is that a breathable mesh layer is sewn and fixed between the upper high-density strip and the lower high-density strip.

[0010] A further improvement is that an inverted V-shaped raised strip is sewn and fixed onto the high-density strip.

[0011] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: On the upper body woven from environmentally friendly fibers, an additional high-density woven layer made of environmentally friendly fibers is laid. The high-density woven layer improves the tensile strength of the upper body. At the same time, a stabilizing block is additionally provided on the high-density woven layer. The stabilizing block is composed of an upper high-density strip and a lower high-density strip in an inverted V shape. Its bent V shape can provide oblique support to the side of the upper body, so that the deformation of the upper body is smaller when moving laterally. At the same time, when moving in the forward direction, the expansion deformation can be generated through the middle section of the inverted V-shaped stabilizing block, thereby preventing the phenomenon of the foot hitting the ground when moving forward. The stability of wearing is better and the comfort is higher. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] See Figure 1-2As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a cotton fiber environmentally friendly shoe upper, including a shoe upper body 1 woven from environmentally friendly fibers and an opening 2 integrally formed on the shoe upper body 1 at the corresponding position of the heel of the human foot. A high-density woven layer 4 made of environmentally friendly fibers is sewn and fixed on the shoe upper body 1, extending from the corresponding position of the shoe upper body 1 at the heel of the human foot to the corresponding position of the shoe upper body 1 at the forefoot of the human foot. The high-density woven layer 4 is provided with a plurality of stabilizing blocks 5, each stabilizing block 5 including an inverted V-shaped upper high-density strip 51 and a lower part of the upper high-density strip 51. The inverted V-shaped high-density strip 52 is formed by first weaving the upper body 1 with environmentally friendly fibers, and then cutting the insertion opening 2 at the heel position of the upper body 1. The environmentally friendly fiber is cotton fiber, specifically regenerated cellulose fiber cross-linked with sericin, which has high strength and good biodegradability, while being soft and skin-friendly. The density of the upper body 1 is 100-120 g / m². Subsequently, a high-density woven layer 4 is formed using a high-density weaving method. The high-density woven layer 4 also uses regenerated cellulose fiber cross-linked with sericin, with a density of 150- 160g / ㎡. Finally, several stabilizing blocks 5 are formed on the high-density woven layer 4 using a jacquard process. The stabilizing blocks 5 are made of regenerated cellulose fibers cross-linked with sericin, with a weaving density of 200g / ㎡, providing higher resistance to deformation and stability. Subsequently, the high-density woven layer 4, together with the stabilizing blocks 5, is sewn and fixed to the upper body 1 to form the upper. After the upper is sewn and fixed to the midsole, the foot can be put on through the entryway 2. When worn, the high-density woven layer 4 improves the tensile strength of the upper body 1, and the stabilizing blocks 5 are additionally provided on the high-density woven layer 4. The stabilizing block 5 is composed of an upper high-density strip 51 and a lower high-density strip 52 in an inverted V shape. Its bent V shape can provide oblique support to the side of the upper body 1, so that the deformation of the upper is smaller when moving laterally. At the same time, when moving forward, the inverted V-shaped stabilizing block 5 can expand and deform through the middle section, thus preventing the foot from hitting the toes when moving forward. It has better stability and higher comfort. In addition, after the shoe is damaged, since the upper is made of cotton fiber, it can be naturally degraded, which has good environmental protection performance and will not damage the environment when discarded.

[0017] An elastic band layer 3 is sewn and fixed to the edge of the high-density woven layer 4 at the entrance 2, which helps to improve the contractility of the entrance 2, so that the edge of the entrance 2 can fully fit the ankle through elasticity, making the shoe upper fit better and providing a certain support and protection for the ankle.

[0018] The high-density woven layer 4 has an elastic piece 6 sewn and fixed to the upper surface of the shoe upper body 1 at the front end, which helps the high-density woven layer 4 to be stretched and deformed at the front end, thereby further reducing the probability of foot pinching.

[0019] A breathable mesh layer 54 is sewn between the upper high-density strip 51 and the lower high-density strip 52, which helps to dissipate heat from the feet through the breathable mesh layer 54, thereby further improving breathability and wearing comfort.

[0020] The upper high-density strip 51 is also sewn with an inverted V-shaped raised strip 53, which helps to further improve the strength and deformation resistance of the upper high-density strip 51, thereby further improving the deformation resistance of the shoe upper body 1.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the shoe upper body 1 is woven from environmentally friendly fibers. Then, an insertion opening 2 is cut into the shoe upper body 1 at the heel position. The environmentally friendly fiber is cotton fiber, specifically regenerated cellulose fiber cross-linked with sericin, which has high strength and good biodegradability, while also being skin-friendly and soft. The density of the shoe upper body 1 is 100-120 g / m². Next, a high-density woven layer 4 is formed using a high-density weaving method. The high-density woven layer 4 also uses regenerated cellulose fiber cross-linked with sericin, with a density of 150-160 g / m². Finally, several stabilizing blocks 5 are formed on the high-density woven layer 4 using a jacquard process. The stabilizing blocks 5 use regenerated cellulose fiber cross-linked with sericin, with a weaving density of 200 g / m², providing higher resistance to deformation and stability. Then, the high-density woven layer 4... Together with the stabilizing block 5, it is sewn and fixed to the upper body 1 to form the upper. After the upper is sewn and fixed to the midsole, the foot can be put on through the opening 2. When wearing, the high-density woven layer 4 improves the tensile strength of the upper body 1. At the same time, the high-density woven layer 4 is also provided with an additional stabilizing block 5. The stabilizing block 5 is composed of an upper high-density strip 51 and a lower high-density strip 52 in an inverted V shape. Its bent V shape can provide oblique support to the side of the upper body 1, so that the deformation of the upper is smaller when moving laterally. At the same time, when moving forward, the middle part of the inverted V-shaped stabilizing block 5 can generate expansion deformation, thereby preventing the foot from hitting the ground when moving forward. The stability of wearing is better and the comfort is higher. In addition, after the shoe is damaged, since the upper is made of cotton fiber, it can be naturally degraded, which has good environmental performance and will not damage the environment when discarded.
