Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical footwear technology, and in particular to a shoe with cushioning and protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] In people's daily lives and various activities, shoes are essential footwear, and their performance is of paramount importance. Especially in scenarios such as walking and sports, the feet are subjected to the impact of the ground and forces from different directions. Therefore, for shoes, having good cushioning and protection functions to reduce the force on the feet while ensuring stability during walking is a key requirement for people's footwear products. Thus, developing shoes with cushioning and protection functions is of great significance.

[0003] In the present technology, common footwear products are usually composed of a simple combination of upper and sole. The sole is mostly made of a single rubber or plastic material, relying on the elasticity of the material itself to achieve a certain cushioning, and increasing friction through the rough surface of the sole in contact with the ground, thereby ensuring stability when walking.

[0004] However, existing footwear products often suffer from poor cushioning and protection in actual use. When people walk or exercise, the impact on their feet cannot be effectively cushioned, which can easily cause discomfort. At the same time, the stability of walking is difficult to guarantee in some complex terrain environments. Therefore, a shoe with cushioning and protection function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a shoe with cushioning and protective functions, including an upper 1 and a bottom layer 3. The bottom of the upper 1 is set on top of the bottom layer 3 to form a shoe body that supports the internal structure. The upper 1 is made of breathable mesh and polyurethane composite material. Its bottom is fixed to the top of the bottom layer 3 by high-strength stitching and glue to form a complete shoe body structure, which is used to support the foot and internal functional layers inside the shoe and prevent the internal structure from shifting when walking. At the same time, the breathable mesh material can enhance the air circulation inside the shoe, reduce the stuffiness of the feet, and improve the wearing comfort. The choice of material for the upper 1 is common knowledge and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] The middle layer 2, with its outer wall positioned between the upper 1 and the bottom layer 3, serves to connect and cushion the upper 1 and the bottom layer 3. The middle layer 2 is made of EVA foam material, and its outer wall is glued and fixed between the upper 1 and the bottom layer 3. This serves two purposes: firstly, to ensure a stable connection between the upper 1 and the bottom layer 3, preventing them from separating during walking; secondly, the EVA foam material has excellent elastic deformation capabilities, which can absorb some of the impact force when the foot lands, providing initial cushioning and preventing the impact force from being directly transmitted to the foot, thus avoiding discomfort.

[0033] The honeycomb layer 4, whose outer wall is fixedly connected to the inside of the middle layer 2, is used for cushioning and fixation. The honeycomb layer 4 is made of TPU elastic material and has a regular hexagonal honeycomb structure inside. The regular hexagonal honeycomb structure can disperse forces in multiple directions, achieving efficient cushioning when pressure is applied to the foot. At the same time, it fixes the position between the middle layer 2 and the bottom layer 3, preventing excessive deformation of the middle layer 2. The high toughness of TPU material ensures that the honeycomb layer 4 can still recover its original shape after long-term stress, extending its service life.

[0034] A reinforcing component is disposed on the outer wall of the honeycomb layer 4 to maintain the internal strength of the honeycomb layer 4;

[0035] Anti-slip components are installed at the bottom of the bottom layer 3 to maintain stability while walking;

[0036] The reinforcing components include a lower reinforcing strip 6 and an upper reinforcing strip 7. The outer walls of both the lower and upper reinforcing strips 6 and 7 are fixedly connected to the inside of the honeycomb layer 4. The lower reinforcing strip 6 and upper reinforcing strip 7 are symmetrically arranged. Both are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, and their outer walls are glued and fixedly connected to the inside of the honeycomb layer 4. The lower reinforcing strip 6 corresponds to the foot's ball area, and the upper reinforcing strip 7 corresponds to the area below the instep. Together, they can provide support for the key components of the honeycomb layer 4. The strength of the stress area is reinforced to avoid damage to the honeycomb layer 4 due to excessive local stress. Multiple friction balls 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the honeycomb layer 4 to improve the bonding strength of the adhesive layer. The friction balls 5 are made of rubber and are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the honeycomb layer 4. They are bonded to the honeycomb layer 4 and the middle layer 2 together with adhesive to increase the contact area and friction between the honeycomb layer 4 and the middle layer 2, improve the bonding strength of the adhesive layer, prevent the adhesive layer from falling off when the honeycomb layer 4 and the middle layer 2 are subjected to walking stress, and ensure the stability of the connection between the two.

[0037] The anti-slip component includes a front rubber pad 8, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom layer 3. The front rubber pad 8 is a large block shape, which facilitates the forefoot to exert force and covers the forefoot force application area of ​​the bottom layer 3, making it convenient for the forefoot to exert force when walking and running. At the same time, the high coefficient of friction of natural rubber can enhance the adhesion between the forefoot and the ground, preventing slippage when the forefoot exerts force. Multiple rear rubber pads 9 and rubber plates 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the bottom layer 3. The rear rubber pads 9 are small blocks, and the rubber plates 10 are plate-shaped to maintain the connection and avoid heel discomfort. They are glued together with the rear rubber pads 9 to the bottom of the bottom layer 3. The rubber plates 10 are used to connect the multiple rear rubber pads 9 to maintain the integrity of the rear anti-slip structure. At the same time, the high elasticity of nitrile rubber can reduce the impact force when the heel lands, preventing the heel from being uncomfortable due to excessive hardness. Multiple small block-shaped rear rubber pads 9 can also enhance the adaptability to uneven ground areas, further improving walking stability.

[0038] Working principle: When walking in these shoes, the foot applies pressure to the upper 1, which then transmits the force to the middle layer 2. The middle layer 2 itself has a certain cushioning performance, which can initially cushion some of the pressure. At the same time, as a structure connecting the upper 1 and the bottom layer 3, it can evenly distribute the force to the honeycomb layer 4 and the bottom layer 3. The honeycomb structure inside the honeycomb layer 4, with its unique mechanical properties, will deform to a certain extent when subjected to pressure, thereby further absorbing and cushioning the pressure from the foot, playing a good cushioning and fixing role. Furthermore, the lower reinforcing strip 6 and the upper reinforcing strip 7 inside the honeycomb layer 4 work together to effectively maintain the internal strength of the honeycomb layer 4, preventing the honeycomb layer 4 from being excessively deformed or even damaged during continuous stress, and ensuring the stable performance of the cushioning function of the honeycomb layer 4.

[0039] Meanwhile, the friction balls 5 on the outer wall of the honeycomb layer 4 increase the contact area and friction with the adhesive layer, improving the firmness of the adhesive layer connection and making the connection between the various structures more stable and reliable. When walking, the front rubber pad 8 provides good support and assistance to the forefoot when the foot exerts force, while the rear rubber pad 9 and rubber plate 10 at the heel, through reasonable structural design, not only ensure stable contact with the ground, but also avoid discomfort in the heel due to structural discomfort. Together, they ensure stability during walking and prevent slipping or other situations that affect stability.
