Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roller skate technology, specifically a forward-flipping roller skate. Background Technology

[0002] As a globally popular recreational sport, roller skates not only provide people with a unique experience of gliding lightly and riding the wind, but are also a symbol of green travel and fashionable living in modern cities. They perfectly integrate sports, transportation, and entertainment, which can improve people's balance, coordination, and whole-body muscle groups, promote physical and mental health, and add endless fun to social gatherings and outdoor activities. From a happy playmate for children to a sport for adults, roller skates continue to convey the spirit of freedom, vitality, and exploration, greatly enriching people's healthy lifestyles.

[0003] Roller skates are a highly free and versatile sporting equipment, but they still have certain problems: 1) Traditional roller skates are inconvenient to put on and take off. Most roller skates are one-piece structures or have a back opening, requiring effort to pull or adjust foot posture when putting them on or taking them off; 2) The locking method is inconvenient to adjust and not secure. Existing designs use a single strap or buckle, which has the potential for cumbersome adjustment, uneven pressure distribution, or easy loosening during exercise. Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop a forward-flip roller skate to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a forward-flipping roller skate to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a forward-flipping roller skate, comprising a shoe body and a wheel assembly disposed on the shoe body, and further comprising an upper part of the shoe upper, a locking device and a hinge mechanism;

[0006] The pointed end of the upper part of the shoe is rotatably connected to the pointed end of the shoe body through a hinge mechanism, so that the upper part of the shoe can be flipped forward to open or flipped backward to close around the hinge point.

[0007] The locking device is located on the upper part of the shoe upper and the rear or side of the shoe body, and is used to detachably lock the two in the closed state.

[0008] Specifically, the design of connecting the tip of the upper part of the shoe with the tip of the main body of the shoe through a hinge mechanism allows the upper part of the shoe to be flipped forward and opened around the hinge point, greatly facilitating putting on and taking off the shoes; and by setting a locking device on the upper part of the shoe and the rear or side of the main body of the shoe, it is ensured that the two can be locked firmly and stably when closed, thus providing convenience while ensuring safety and reliability in use.

[0009] Preferably, the hinge mechanism includes a hinge seat disposed at the tip of the shoe body and a connecting ear disposed at the tip of the upper half of the shoe upper. A hinge shaft is provided between the hinge seat and the connecting ear, and the hinge shaft passes through the hinge seat and the connecting ear to achieve a rotatable connection.

[0010] Specifically, the hinge seat located at the tip of the shoe body cooperates with the connecting ear on the upper half of the shoe body, and the hinge shaft passing through the two achieves a rotational connection. This structural design makes the lever arm of the flipping action short and the force reasonable, ensuring that the forward flipping and closing process is smooth and stable. At the same time, the hinge points distributed on both sides can effectively disperse stress, enhancing the reliability and durability of the overall structure.

[0011] Preferably, the locking device includes at least one buckle, which includes a male buckle and a female buckle. The male buckle is located on the upper half of the shoe upper, and the female buckle is located on the shoe body. Alternatively, the positions of the male buckle and the female buckle can be interchanged.

[0012] Specifically, the use of at least one buckle for fixing, and the design of placing the male and female buckles on the upper part of the shoe and the main body of the shoe respectively, allowing for interchangeability of their positions, provides flexibility and tolerance in assembly, simplifies the production assembly process, and ensures a balanced distribution of locking force, making the fastening operation more intuitive and convenient, and effectively improving the reliability and user experience.

[0013] Preferably, the locking device further includes a hook and loop fastener, which includes a hook side and a loop side, and the hook side and the loop side are respectively disposed on corresponding positions of the hook and loop fastener and the shoe body.

[0014] Specifically, by adding Velcro and placing the hook side and the loop side on the corresponding positions of the upper part of the shoe and the main body of the shoe respectively, a double locking mechanism is formed with the buckle. The Velcro provides additional wrapping and stability through full contact, preventing local stress concentration, and also realizes the distributed bearing of locking force, which significantly improves the integrity and safety factor of the closed state. At the same time, the fine adjustment function of the Velcro allows it to adapt to users with different instep heights and thicknesses, enhancing the applicability and comfort of the product.

[0015] Preferably, the Velcro is located below or to the side of the buckle.

[0016] Specifically, by placing the Velcro below or to the side of the buckle, the two complement and synergize in space. The Velcro first pre-fixes and provides initial wrapping and restraint to the instep, facilitating alignment for the final buckle fastening and distributing the load on its main load-bearing area. This layout optimizes the distribution of locking force, avoids operational interference, and makes the shoe upper look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, improving the efficiency and user-friendliness of the overall locking system.

[0017] Preferably, the inner and / or outer sides of the upper half of the shoe upper are provided with stretch sections made of elastic material.

[0018] Specifically, by setting elastic stretch sections made of elastic material on the inner and / or outer sides of the upper half of the shoe, this area gains significant lateral stretching capacity. This effectively adapts to differences in instep width and ankle size among different users, improving the comfort of the fit. It also generates adaptive compression force through elastic contraction when the locking device is fixed, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive pressure from hard materials. At the same time, it ensures the flexibility and stability of the ankle area during exercise, significantly improving the product's applicability and user experience.

[0019] Preferably, the inside of the shoe body is provided with a cushioning pad corresponding to the ankle position.

[0020] Specifically, by placing a cushioning pad inside the shoe corresponding to the ankle, this key pressure-bearing area gains effective impact absorption capacity, significantly reducing the vibration and hard friction experienced by the ankle during exercise. This not only improves comfort during long-term wear but also enhances ankle stability through flexible support. At the same time, its adaptive deformation characteristics can accommodate different ankle bone shapes, effectively preventing sports injuries and improving the product's protective properties and user experience.

[0021] Preferably, the hinge axis can be a damped pivot axis, allowing the upper part of the shoe upper to be suspended at any rotation angle.

[0022] Specifically, this design allows the upper part of the shoe to hover stably at any angle of rotation, greatly facilitating the putting on and taking off of the shoe and adjusting the tightness during use. Users can perform other operations without having to support the shoe, while also avoiding the risk of impact damage or pinching caused by the sudden opening and closing of the shoe due to its own weight, thus improving the safety, convenience and user experience of the product.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a forward-flipping roller skate, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] These forward-flip roller skates feature a hinged design at the toe, allowing the upper to flip forward for easy on and off. A combination of buckles and Velcro ensures a secure and stable fit once closed. Elastic stretch sections on the sides of the upper adapt to different foot shapes and provide a comfortable fit, while cushioning at the ankle effectively absorbs impact. A damping pivot structure allows the upper to remain at any angle, further enhancing safety and flexibility, ultimately significantly improving the wearing experience while maintaining athletic performance.

[0035] The tip of the upper half of the shoe upper 30 is rotatably connected to the tip of the shoe body 10 through the hinge mechanism 40, so that the upper half of the shoe upper 30 can be flipped forward to open or flipped backward to close around the hinge point.

[0036] The locking device 50 is provided on the upper half 30 of the shoe upper and the rear or side of the shoe body 10, and is used to detachably fix and lock the two in the closed state.

[0037] Specifically, the design of connecting the tip of the upper part 30 of the shoe upper to the tip of the shoe body 10 through a hinge mechanism 40 allows the upper part 30 of the shoe upper to be flipped forward and opened around the hinge point, greatly facilitating putting on and taking off the shoes. Furthermore, by setting a locking device 50 at the rear or side of the upper part 30 of the shoe upper and the shoe body 10, it is ensured that the two can be firmly and stably locked in the closed state, thereby providing convenience while ensuring safety and reliability in use.

[0038] Preferably, the hinge mechanism 40 includes a hinge seat 410 disposed at the tip of the shoe body 10 and a connecting ear 420 disposed at the tip of the upper half of the shoe upper 30. A hinge shaft 430 is provided between the hinge seat 410 and the connecting ear 420, and the hinge shaft 430 passes through the hinge seat 410 and the connecting ear 420 to achieve a rotatable connection.

[0039] Specifically, the hinge seat 410 located at the tip of the shoe body 10 cooperates with the connecting ear 420 on the upper half of the shoe upper 30, and the hinge shaft 430 passing through the two achieves a rotational connection. This structural design makes the lever arm of the flipping action short and the force reasonable, ensuring that the forward flipping and closing process is smooth and stable. At the same time, the hinge points distributed on both sides can effectively disperse stress, enhancing the reliability and durability of the overall structure.

[0040] Preferably, the locking device 50 includes at least one buckle 510, which includes a male buckle 511 and a female buckle 512. The male buckle 511 is disposed on the buckle 510 on the upper half of the shoe upper 30, and the female buckle 512 is disposed on the shoe body 10, or the positions of the male buckle 511 and the female buckle 512 are interchanged.

[0041] Specifically, the use of at least one buckle for fixing, and the design of placing the male and female buckles on the upper part of the shoe and the main body of the shoe respectively, allowing for interchangeability of their positions, provides flexibility and tolerance in assembly, simplifies the production assembly process, and ensures a balanced distribution of locking force, making the fastening operation more intuitive and convenient, and effectively improving the reliability and user experience.

[0042] Preferably, the locking device 50 further includes a hook and loop fastener 520, which includes a hook side 521 and a loop side 522, and the hook side 521 and the loop side 522 are respectively disposed on the hook and loop fastener 520 and the corresponding position of the shoe body 10.

[0043] Specifically, by adding Velcro 520 and placing the hook side 521 and the loop side 522 on the corresponding positions of the upper 30 of the shoe and the main body 10 of the shoe, a double locking mechanism is formed with the buckle 510. This provides additional wrapping and stability through the full contact of the Velcro 520, preventing local stress concentration, and also realizes the distributed bearing of the locking force, significantly improving the integrity and safety factor of the closed state. At the same time, the fine adjustment function of the Velcro 520 allows it to adapt to users with different instep heights and thicknesses, enhancing the applicability and comfort of the product.

[0044] Preferably, the Velcro 520 is located below or to the side of the snap fastener 510.

[0045] Specifically, by placing the Velcro 520 below or to the side of the buckle 510, the two complement and coordinate their functions in space. The Velcro 520 first pre-fixes and provides initial wrapping and restraint to the instep, facilitating the alignment of the buckle 510 for final fastening and distributing the load on its main load-bearing area. This layout optimizes the distribution of locking force, avoids operational interference, and makes the upper appearance cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, improving the efficiency and user-friendliness of the overall locking system.
