Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports shoe technology, and in particular to a sports shoe with a spliced sole. Background Technology
[0002] Athletic shoes are shoes designed and manufactured based on the characteristics of people participating in sports or travel. The soles of athletic shoes differ from ordinary leather shoes and rubber shoes; they are generally soft and elastic, providing a certain degree of cushioning and enhancing elasticity during exercise. Some even prevent ankle injuries. However, the overall soft material of the sole results in excessive energy consumption during exercise, leading to insufficient support and ultimately reducing its performance. Therefore, balancing elasticity and support is a key consideration in the design of athletic shoes. Utility Model Content
[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a sports shoe with a spliced sole. By setting an elastic reinforcing plate around the outside of the sole, the support performance of the sole is enhanced. The spliced sole maintains the softness and elasticity of the inside while being more robust on the outside, achieving impact resistance and waterproof function. At the same time, for some parts that need to enhance impact resistance, such as the arch area and forefoot, the elastic reinforcing plate is modified in shape and recessed to accommodate the harder forefoot and arch reinforcing plates, thereby improving the deformation resistance and stability of these parts.
[0005] This utility model provides a sports shoe with a spliced sole, including a sole with an elastic reinforcing plate surrounding the side and an upper connected to the sole. The elastic reinforcing plate is attached to the sole. The sole includes a forefoot and an arch area. The area of the elastic reinforcing plate corresponding to the forefoot has a downward recessed area, and a forefoot reinforcing plate is disposed in the recessed area. The forefoot reinforcing plate is integrally connected to the elastic reinforcing plate. The area of the elastic reinforcing plate corresponding to the arch area has an upward recessed area, and an arch reinforcement plate is attached to the arch area. The arch reinforcement plate is integrally connected to the elastic reinforcing plate. The hardness of the arch reinforcement plate and the forefoot reinforcing plate is greater than that of the elastic reinforcing plate. The hardness of the elastic reinforcing plate is greater than that of the sole.
[0006] The surrounding elastic reinforcing plate enhances the support performance of the sole. In the specific production process, after the softer sole is produced, the one-piece ring-shaped elastic reinforcing plate is removed, adhesive is applied to its inner side, and the sole is inserted into the harder elastic reinforcing plate and adjusted to the appropriate position. After drying, the basic structure of the sole is formed. The resulting sole maintains its internal softness and elasticity while being relatively strong on the outer side, providing impact resistance and waterproofing. Simultaneously, for areas requiring enhanced impact resistance, such as the arch and forefoot, the elastic reinforcing plate is modified in shape, with recesses to accommodate the harder forefoot and arch reinforcing plates, improving the deformation resistance and stability of these areas. The irregular edge shape of the elastic reinforcing plate allows for bonding to the upper after being glued to the sole, forming a complete athletic shoe. It is understood that using materials of different densities within the same elastic reinforcing plate, depending on the area, and forming the sole as a single piece is a common technique in the field and will not be elaborated upon here. Preferably, the elastic reinforcing plate is made of TPU or resin.
[0007] In some embodiments, the elastic reinforcing plate has an inwardly recessed area, the location of which corresponds to the arch area and is situated above the upper recessed area. The recessed area increases the area of the elastic reinforcing plate, thereby enhancing its support capability in the arch area.
[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic reinforcing plates on both sides are gradually inclined upwards along the rear end of the sole, and the elastic reinforcing plates have notches at the rear end of the sole. The gradually upward-inclined elastic reinforcing plates increase the contact area with the upper, enhancing the fixing ability. At the same time, the gradually upward extension expands the area of the rear elastic reinforcing plate. In actual wear, stains and water carried by sports often accumulate at the heel. This design can protect the heel area, making the heel stain-resistant and easy to clean.
[0009] In some embodiments, an ankle support reinforcement plate is provided within the notch. The ankle support reinforcement plate is gradually inclined upward along the rear end of the sole and extends to the upper of the shoe. The ankle support reinforcement plate is integrally connected with the elastic reinforcement plate. The ankle support reinforcement plate is provided around the heel of the shoe, and its relatively stiff material provides support for the user's ankle.
[0010] In some embodiments, the top of the ankle brace is higher than half the height of the shoe upper. This height setting ensures the ankle brace provides ankle support while preventing hard materials from contacting the user's foot and causing abrasions.
[0011] In some embodiments, breathable zones are provided on both sides of the shoe upper. Each breathable zone includes a mesh surface and a dividing portion. The dividing portion is located in the middle of the breathable zone, and the mesh surface is located on both sides of the dividing portion. The spaced mesh surfaces increase the breathable area while the dividing portions maintain the overall shape of the shoe upper, thus improving its breathability. Specifically, the technical solution of increasing breathability by using mesh material on the shoe upper is well known to those skilled in the art. The specific material of the mesh surface can be found in existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0012] In some embodiments, the sole has a drainage groove on its bottom surface, and a waterproof plate is attached to the drainage groove. The waterproof plate is shaped to fit the drainage groove, is concave upwards, and has an arc-shaped cross-section. The drainage groove is used for drainage. In the prior art, common sole materials are not very waterproof, so the drainage groove will deform and lose its function under wet and pressure conditions. To maintain the function of the drainage groove, an arc-shaped waterproof plate is attached to enhance the support performance.
[0013] In some embodiments, the drainage channel extends from the arch area to the heel of the sole, and the drainage channel is provided with a drainage outlet facing the heel of the sole. The drainage outlet at the heel guides accumulated water to drain out, and together with the higher ankle support plate at the heel, it can effectively prevent the upper from getting wet.
[0014] In some embodiments, the sole surface is provided with an anti-slip pattern. The anti-slip pattern is used to enhance the grip of the sole and prevent slippage. The specific anti-slip pattern can refer to the prior art, and its specific pattern is not limited here.
[0015] In some embodiments, the hardness of the waterproof plate is greater than that of the sole, and the hardness of the forefoot reinforcement plate, the arch reinforcement plate, and the ankle support reinforcement plate are all greater than that of the sole. This corresponding setting of the hardness of the waterproof plate, the elastic reinforcement plate, the forefoot reinforcement plate, the arch reinforcement plate, and the ankle support reinforcement plate improves the overall performance of the sole.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention enhances the support performance of the sole by incorporating an elastic reinforcing plate around its outer side. The resulting sole maintains a soft and elastic interior while being more robust on the outside, providing impact resistance and waterproofing. Furthermore, for areas requiring enhanced impact resistance, such as the arch and forefoot, the elastic reinforcing plate is modified in shape with recesses to accommodate the harder forefoot and arch reinforcing plates, thereby improving the deformation resistance and stability of these areas.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of one side of the sports shoe in some embodiments of this utility model.
[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides a sports shoe with a sole 1 spliced together, including a sole 1 with an elastic reinforcing plate 3 disposed around the side and an upper 2 connected to the sole 1. The elastic reinforcing plate 3 is attached to the sole 1. The sole 1 includes a forefoot 11 and an arch area 12. The area of the elastic reinforcing plate 3 corresponding to the forefoot 11 is provided with a downward recessed area. A front reinforcing plate 31 is disposed in the recessed area. The front reinforcing plate 31 is integrally connected to the elastic reinforcing plate 3. The area of the elastic reinforcing plate 3 corresponding to the arch area 12 is provided with an upward recessed area. An arch reinforcing plate 32 is attached in the upper recessed area. The arch reinforcing plate 32 is integrally connected to the elastic reinforcing plate 3. The hardness of the arch reinforcing plate 32 and the front reinforcing plate 31 is greater than that of the elastic reinforcing plate 3. The hardness of the elastic reinforcing plate 3 is greater than that of the sole 1.
[0042] The surrounding elastic reinforcing plate 3 enhances the support performance of the sole 1. In the specific production process, after the softer sole 1 is produced, the one-piece ring-shaped elastic reinforcing plate 3 is removed, adhesive is applied to its inner side, and the sole 1 is inserted into the harder elastic reinforcing plate 3 and adjusted to the appropriate position. After drying, the basic structure of the sole 1 is formed. The sole 1 formed in this way maintains its internal softness and elasticity while being relatively strong on the outer side, achieving impact resistance and waterproofing. Simultaneously, areas requiring enhanced impact resistance, such as the arch area 12 and the forefoot 11, are further reinforced with elasticity... The shape of the reinforcing plate 3 is modified accordingly, and a recess is provided to accommodate the front reinforcing plate 31 and the arch reinforcing plate 32, which have greater hardness, thereby improving the deformation resistance and stability of this part. The edge shape of the elastic reinforcing plate 3 is irregular. After being pasted with the sole 1, the upward-extending area can also be bonded to the upper 2 to form a complete sports shoe. It is understood that the technical solution of setting different density materials in different areas within the same elastic reinforcing plate 3 and molding the sole 1 as a whole is common in the art and will not be elaborated here. Preferably, the elastic reinforcing plate 3 is made of TPU material or resin material.
[0043] The elastic reinforcing plate 3 has an inwardly recessed area 33, which corresponds to the position of the arch area 12 and is located above the upper recessed area. The recessed area 33 increases the area of the elastic reinforcing plate 3, thereby enhancing its support capacity in the arch area 12.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the other side of the sports shoe in some embodiments of this utility model.
[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, optionally, the elastic reinforcing plates 3 on both sides are gradually inclined upwards along the rear end of the sole 1, and the elastic reinforcing plates 3 have notches at the rear end of the sole 1. The gradually upwardly inclined elastic reinforcing plates 3 increase the contact area with the upper 2, enhancing the fixing ability. At the same time, the gradually upward extension expands the area of the rear elastic reinforcing plate 3. In actual wear, stains and sewage carried by exercise often accumulate at the heel. This design can protect the heel area, making the heel stain-resistant and easy to clean.
[0046] An ankle support reinforcement plate 34 is provided within the notch. The ankle support reinforcement plate 34 is gradually inclined upward along the rear end of the sole 1 and extends to the upper 2 of the shoe. The ankle support reinforcement plate 34 is integrally connected with the elastic reinforcement plate 3. The ankle support reinforcement plate 34 is provided around the heel of the shoe, and its relatively stiff material provides support for the user's ankle.
[0047] The top of the ankle support plate 34 is higher than half the height of the upper 2. The height of the ankle support plate 34 is designed to provide ankle support while preventing the harder material from contacting the user's foot and causing abrasion.
[0048] The shoe upper 2 has ventilation zones 4 on both sides. Each ventilation zone 4 includes a mesh surface 41 and a partition 42. The partition 42 is located in the middle of the ventilation zone 4, and the mesh surface 41 is located on both sides of the partition 42. The spaced mesh surface 41 increases the ventilation area while the partition 42 maintains the overall shape of the shoe upper 2, thus improving the breathability of the shoe upper 2. Specifically, the technical solution of increasing breathability by setting mesh material on the shoe upper 2 is well known to those skilled in the art. The specific material of the mesh surface 41 can be referred to the prior art, and will not be elaborated here.
[0049] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom surface structure of the sports shoe sole in some embodiments of this utility model.
[0050] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom surface of the shoe sole 1 is provided with a drainage groove, and a waterproof plate 5 is attached to the drainage groove. The waterproof plate 5 is adapted to the shape of the drainage groove, and the waterproof plate 5 is concave upward and has an arc-shaped cross-section. The drainage groove is provided for drainage. In the prior art, the common materials of the shoe sole 1 are not very waterproof. Therefore, under wet and pressure conditions, the drainage groove will deform and lose its function. In order to maintain the function of the drainage groove, an arc-shaped waterproof plate 5 is attached to enhance the support performance.
[0051] The drainage channel extends from the arch area 12 to the rear end of the sole 1. The drainage channel is provided with a drainage outlet facing the rear end of the sole 1. The drainage outlet at the rear guides accumulated water to drain out from the rear, and together with the high ankle support reinforcement plate 34 at the rear, it can effectively prevent the upper 2 from getting wet.
[0052] The sole 1 has an anti-slip pattern on its bottom surface. The anti-slip pattern is designed to enhance the grip of the sole 1 and prevent slipping. The specific anti-slip pattern can refer to existing technologies, and its specific pattern is not limited here.
[0053] The hardness of the waterproof plate 5 is greater than that of the sole 1. Similarly, the hardness of the forefoot reinforcement plate 31, the arch reinforcement plate 32, and the ankle support reinforcement plate 34 are all greater than that of the sole 1. This corresponding setting of the hardness of the waterproof plate 5, the elastic reinforcement plate 3, the forefoot reinforcement plate 31, the arch reinforcement plate 32, and the ankle support reinforcement plate 34 improves the overall performance of the sole 1.
