Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of footwear, specifically to shoes with active heating function. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely to provide background information in relation to this application to aid in understanding it, and such background information does not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In cold environments, keeping feet warm is crucial for maintaining comfort and health. This is especially true in high-latitude northern regions and high-altitude snow-covered areas, where winter temperatures remain below freezing for extended periods (generally between -10°C and -30°C) for months at a time. Traditional cotton shoes, limited by their static insulation properties, are insufficient to meet the body's need for foot warmth, easily leading to cold feet, frostbite, and other problems that severely impact daily travel and outdoor activities. This has resulted in an increasingly urgent demand for warm shoes with heating functions.

[0004] While various types of insulated shoes exist on the market, they all suffer from several shortcomings that urgently need improvement. Firstly, most commercially available insulated shoes use in-shoe heating to raise the internal temperature. While this method can alleviate cold feet through basic heat radiation, it suffers from significant limitations in targeted warmth. Specifically, existing in-shoe heating methods do not offer personalized and differentiated warmth for different areas of the foot (e.g., women's feet tend to be colder, while men's feet tend to sweat more), resulting in poor heat distribution. Secondly, existing products generally lack effective temperature feedback mechanisms, failing to dynamically and accurately regulate the internal temperature of the shoe in real time based on ambient temperature fluctuations and individual foot temperature needs. This can lead to unsuitable temperatures inside the shoe's interior, potentially causing foot discomfort and a deteriorating user experience.

[0005] Therefore, the aforementioned shortcomings make it difficult for existing thermal shoes to meet the personalized warmth needs of different users. For example, people with cold-resistant constitutions and those sensitive to body temperature have drastically different tolerance thresholds for temperature gradients, and the needs of short-distance commuters and those working in high-altitude areas for continuous warmth and heat intensity also differ by orders of magnitude. Furthermore, these shortcomings may cause existing thermal shoes to fall into a state of continuous heating and ineffective heat energy consumption, accelerating the loss of power in energy storage units (e.g., lithium batteries) and shortening the battery life of these units.

[0008] According to the temperature-controlled shoe of this application, the intelligent temperature control component further includes an energy storage unit, which is configured to provide the electrical energy required for heating to the plurality of first heating modules and the plurality of second heating modules through the transmission component.

[0009] The temperature-controlled shoe according to this application is characterized in that the energy storage unit can operate stably in the range of -40℃ to +70℃.

[0010] According to the temperature-controlled shoe of this application, the transmission component further includes a protective cover, which is configured to be detachably connected to the first connecting portion to completely cover and protect the first connecting portion when the intelligent temperature control component is not required to be installed.

[0011] According to the temperature-controlled shoe of this application, when the protective cover is connected to the first connecting part, the transmission component forms a sealed structure and has a waterproof function.

[0012] According to the temperature-controlled shoe of this application, the insole assembly is a replaceable component.

[0013] According to the temperature-controlled shoe of this application, the intelligent temperature control component switches between the following three control modes based on the first temperature signal, the second temperature signal, ambient temperature fluctuations, the individual foot temperature requirements of the user, and the real-time power supply status of the energy storage unit of the intelligent temperature control component: Mode 1: Control the operation of the plurality of first heating modules; Mode 2: Controlling the operation of the plurality of second heating modules; and Mode 3: Control the multiple first heating modules and the multiple second heating modules to work simultaneously.

[0014] According to the temperature-controlled shoe of this application, the plurality of first heating modules and the plurality of second heating modules are made of carbon nanotube thin films.

[0016] This application provides a temperature-controlled shoe that achieves dynamic and zoned control of the shoe's internal temperature through the inclusion of an upper assembly, an insole assembly, and an intelligent temperature control component. Specifically, the temperature-controlled shoe can dynamically select a control mode to zone the internal temperature based on ambient temperature fluctuations, individual foot temperature requirements, and the real-time power supply status of the energy storage unit, thereby providing a more personalized warmth effect for different users. Furthermore, the temperature-controlled shoe offers multiple temperature settings, allowing users to select according to their needs. In addition, the temperature-controlled shoe utilizes a highly integrated transmission component to achieve signal and energy transfer and distribution, simplifying circuit wiring and reducing the shoe's size and cost.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further illustrates this application. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known methods, apparatuses, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this application.

[0020] The block diagrams shown in the attached figures are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software, within one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0021] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a temperature-controlled shoe according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the temperature-controlled shoe 100 includes an upper assembly 101, an insole assembly 102, and an intelligent temperature control assembly 103. The upper assembly 101 and the insole assembly 102 constitute the shoe cavity of the temperature-controlled shoe 100.

[0022] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a shoe upper assembly according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the upper assembly 101 includes an upper 1011, an inner lining 1012, multiple first heating modules 1013, and a first temperature sensor 1014. The upper 1011 and the inner lining 1012 are shaped to fit snugly against the foot. The inner lining 1012 is disposed on one side of the upper 1011 and forms the inner surface of the upper assembly 101. The inner surface of the upper assembly 101 is in direct contact with the user's foot. The inner lining 1012 may be made of a warm, soft, and breathable material. The multiple first heating modules 1013 are configured to be evenly distributed between the upper 1011 and the inner lining 1012, so that the heat they generate is evenly distributed inside the temperature-controlled shoe 100. The first temperature sensor 1014 is configured to sense the temperature of the inner lining 1012 and output a first temperature signal. Since the inner lining 1012 is in direct contact with the user's foot, the first temperature signal output by the first temperature sensor 1014 can provide the most accurate feedback on the temperature perceived by the user's foot.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the upper 1011 may be made of multiple layers of materials, depending on the actual needs of the temperature-controlled shoe 100.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the upper assembly 101 further includes a waterproof and breathable membrane to make the temperature-controlled shoe 100 waterproof. Optionally, the waterproof and breathable membrane may be disposed between the upper 1011 and the plurality of first heating modules 1013.

[0025] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of an insole assembly according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the insole assembly 102 includes an insole, a plurality of second heating modules 1022, and a second temperature sensor 1023. The plurality of second heating modules 1022 are configured to be evenly distributed within the insole so that the heat they generate is evenly distributed within the temperature-controlled shoe 100. The second temperature sensor 1023 is configured to sense the temperature of the contact surface between the insole and the user's foot and output a second temperature signal. Similarly, the second temperature signal output by the second temperature sensor 1023 can provide the most accurate feedback on the temperature perceived by the user's foot.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, multiple first heating modules 1013 are coupled to each other, and multiple second heating modules 1022 are coupled to each other. The multiple first heating modules 1013 and the multiple second heating modules 1022 are made of carbon nanotube films. Carbon nanotube films are thin-film materials composed of nanoscale cylindrical structures formed by the coaxial rolling of single or multiple layers of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms. This unique microstructure gives them characteristics such as lightweight, flexibility, and high strength: excellent bending resistance and fatigue resistance, allowing them to adapt to repeated deformation without breaking; extremely high conductivity and current carrying capacity, far exceeding traditional metal wires and heating fibers, supporting stable electrothermal conversion at high power densities; and excellent corrosion resistance and chemical stability, enabling long-term reliable operation in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong acids and alkalis. Simultaneously, the carbon nanotube film adopts a planar heating mode, which, compared with the traditional linear or point heating methods used in existing thermal shoes, has the characteristics of large heating area, uniform temperature, rapid heating, and high energy efficiency, achieving a highly efficient, stable, and controllable planar heating effect.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the first temperature sensor 1014 and the second temperature sensor 1023 can be thermistors with positive or negative temperature coefficients. Preferably, the first temperature sensor 1014 and the second temperature sensor 1023 are thermistors with negative temperature coefficients. When the internal temperature of the temperature-controlled shoe 100 rises, the resistance of the thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient will decrease accordingly. This characteristic can effectively offset the increase in resistance of other components of the temperature-controlled shoe 100 caused by the temperature rise, thereby maintaining the stability of the total circuit impedance.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the insole assembly 102 can be a replaceable component, allowing users to choose insole assemblies with different thicknesses and thermal conductivity characteristics according to their needs. For example, users living in northern regions can choose thicker insole assemblies with better warmth retention.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the insole assembly 102 may have a multi-layer structure. Figure 4 An exploded view of an insole assembly according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the insole assembly 102 may further include a foam layer 1025, a first waterproof and breathable layer 1026, a second waterproof and breathable layer 1027, and a fabric layer 1028. The fabric layer 1028 is in direct contact with the user's foot. Multiple second heating modules 1022 are disposed between the first waterproof and breathable layer 1026 and the second waterproof and breathable layer 1027. By providing the first waterproof and breathable layer 1026 and the second waterproof and breathable layer 1027, the multiple second heating modules 1022 can be effectively protected, and the temperature-controlled shoe 100 can be made waterproof.

[0030] Refer again Figure 1 The temperature-controlled shoe 100 controls its temperature through an intelligent temperature control component 103. The intelligent temperature control component 103 is configured to control multiple first heating modules 1013 and multiple second heating modules 1022 based on a first temperature signal and a second temperature signal, respectively, to regulate the internal temperature (shoe cavity temperature) of the temperature-controlled shoe 100. By controlling the multiple first heating modules 1013 and multiple second heating modules 1022 respectively, the intelligent temperature control component 103 can adjust the internal temperature of the temperature-controlled shoe 100 to a temperature T1 that is comfortable for the user. Since the first temperature signal and the second temperature signal can provide the most accurate feedback on the temperature perceived by the user's instep and sole respectively, the intelligent temperature control component 103 can adjust the internal temperature of the temperature-controlled shoe 100 more quickly and accurately based on these two signals.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, temperature T1 can be obtained by calculating data from user survey data.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the intelligent temperature control component 103 includes a temperature setting button (not shown), which allows the user to set the temperature T1. Thus, the user can set the temperature T1 according to their actual feelings and needs, enabling the temperature-controlled shoes to match the user's personalized requirements.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the temperature-controlled shoe 100 may further include a transmission component 104. The upper assembly 101 also includes a first connection interface 1015. The first connection portion 1041 of the transmission component 104 is embedded in the first connection interface 1015 to fix the transmission component 104 to the inner surface (or inner side) of the upper assembly 101. The intelligent temperature control component 103 is disposed on the outer surface (or outer side) of the upper assembly 101 and is detachably electrically connected to the first connection portion 1041. The transmission component 104 is configured to receive a first temperature signal and a second temperature signal and output both to the intelligent temperature control component 103. In other words, the transmission component 104 and the intelligent temperature control component 103 are respectively disposed on both sides of the upper assembly 101, and the intelligent temperature control component 103 is detachably electrically connected to the transmission component 104. A reliable connection is formed between the transmission component 104 and the intelligent temperature control component 103, effectively preventing the intelligent temperature control component 103 from falling off during the wearing of the temperature-controlled shoe 100. Furthermore, when the intelligent temperature control component 103 needs to be charged, inspected, or replaced, the user can easily disassemble the intelligent temperature control component 103.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the intelligent temperature control component 103 may further include an energy storage unit configured to provide the electrical energy required for heating to a plurality of first heating modules 1013 and a plurality of second heating modules 1022 via a transmission component 104. Furthermore, the energy storage unit may also be configured to power a first temperature sensor 1014 and a second temperature sensor 1023 via the transmission component 104.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the energy storage unit (e.g., a battery) can operate stably within a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. As the component providing heat energy in the temperature-controlled shoe 100, the stable operation of the energy storage unit is particularly crucial. The ability of the energy storage unit to operate over a wide temperature range ensures that it does not lose its function in low-temperature environments, thereby providing excellent warmth for the user. Furthermore, the rated capacity of the energy storage unit can be selected according to the user's geographical location, for example, it can be 3500mAh, 4000mAh, etc.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the intelligent temperature control component 103 may include three control modes: Mode 1, controlling multiple first heating modules 1013 to operate; Mode 2, controlling multiple second heating modules 1022 to operate; and Mode 3, controlling multiple first heating modules 1013 and multiple second heating modules 1022 to operate simultaneously. The intelligent temperature control component 103 can dynamically select the control mode to perform zoned control of the inner cavity temperature of the temperature-controlled shoe based on a first temperature signal, a second temperature signal, ambient temperature fluctuations, the user's individual foot temperature requirements (temperature T1), and the real-time power supply status of the energy storage unit. This allows the temperature-controlled shoe 100 to provide a warming effect that better meets the user's personalized needs. For example, in the spring and autumn seasons when the climate is not particularly cold, the intelligent temperature control component 103 controls multiple second heating modules 1022 to operate (Mode 2) to heat the insole assembly, helping the user alleviate cold feet. For example, the intelligent temperature control component 103 controls multiple first heating modules 1013 and multiple second heating modules 1022 to work simultaneously (mode 3) to heat the upper component and insole component to provide rapid heating and warmth for users in cold regions.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of second heating modules 1022 may be configured to be electrically connected to a plurality of first heating modules 1013. The plurality of first heating modules 1013 are configured to be coupled to a transmission component 104; an intelligent temperature control component 103 is configured to control an energy storage unit to provide the electrical energy required for heating to the plurality of first heating modules 1013 and the plurality of second heating modules 1022 through the transmission component 104. Optionally, the upper assembly 101 has a first electrical interface, and the insole assembly 102 has a second electrical interface. The first electrical interface is configured to be electrically connected to the second electrical interface so that the plurality of second heating modules 1022 are electrically connected to the plurality of first heating modules 1013.

[0038] Figure 5 An exploded view of a transmission component and a smart temperature control component according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the transmission assembly 104 includes a first connecting portion 1041, a spring pin plate 1042, and an end cap 1043. The end cap 1043 is configured to be detachably connected to the first connecting portion 1041 and form a receiving cavity between them. The spring pin plate 1042 is disposed in the receiving cavity between the end cap 1043 and the first connecting portion 1041. The end cap 1043 has a first opening 1046. One side of the spring pin plate 1042 is electrically connected through the first opening 1046 to a plurality of first heating modules 1013, a plurality of second heating modules 1022, a first temperature sensor 1014, and a second temperature sensor 1023, respectively. The end cap 1043 protects the connecting wires between the spring pin plate 1042 and the heating modules and temperature sensors to prevent the connections from becoming loose due to external interference. The surface of the first connecting portion 1041 is provided with at least one probe 1044 facing the outer side of the upper assembly 101. On the other side of the spring plate 1042, at least one ejector pin 1047 is provided, which is adapted to at least one probe 1044. Each of the at least one ejector pin 1047 abuts against each of the at least one probe 1044 to form an electrical connection.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the probes 1044 may be arranged in a row along a direction parallel to the length of the insole assembly 102.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the edge of the first connecting portion 1041 adopts a gradually thinning structure design (i.e., the edge thickness gradually decreases) so that it can be smoothly and firmly sewn to the first connecting interface 1015, thereby ensuring that the final formed temperature-controlled shoe 100 has a flat and beautiful appearance.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the first connecting portion 1041 can be made of PC / ABS engineering plastic (a thermoplastic plastic of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer). This composite material has the high heat resistance, excellent weather resistance (outstanding UV aging resistance) and high rigidity of PC resin, while maintaining the excellent processing fluidity and easy molding characteristics unique to ABS resin, making it particularly suitable for precision injection molding of complex structural parts.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the transmission assembly 104 further includes a protective housing (not shown). The protective housing is configured to be detachably connected to the first connecting portion 1041 to completely shield and protect the first connecting portion 1041 when the intelligent temperature control assembly 103 is not required. Optionally, a plurality of snap fasteners 1045 may be symmetrically arranged along the circumference of the probe 1044 on the surface of the first connecting portion 1041; the protective housing may have a plurality of grooves along its circumference that mate with the snap fasteners 1045. A reliable mechanical connection can be formed between the transmission assembly 104 and the protective housing through the snap fasteners and grooves. Thus, the temperature-controlled shoe 100 can also be used as an ordinary shoe.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, when the protective housing is connected to the first connection portion 1041, the transmission assembly 104 forms a sealed structure and has a waterproof function.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent temperature control component 103 includes an upper cover 1031, an energy storage unit 1032, a light guide column 1034, a control module 1035, a flexible circuit board 1036, and a lower shell 1037. Combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent temperature control component 103 is detachably electrically connected to the transmission component 104. Specifically, the intelligent temperature control component 103 has a second opening 1039, which is disposed on the lower housing 1037. The probe 1044 is electrically connected to the intelligent temperature control component 103 through the second opening 1039. More specifically, the ejector pin 1047 of the spring plate 1042 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 1036 of the intelligent temperature control component 103 through the probe 1044.

[0045] The upper cover 1031 and the lower shell 1037 are used to protect the internal components of the intelligent temperature control component 103, such as the control module 1035 and the energy storage unit 1032. In addition, a trademark name made of transparent material can be set on the surface of the upper cover 1031.

[0046] The flexible circuit board 1036 is configured to be electrically connected to the energy storage unit 1032 and the control module 1035. The control module 1035 transmits control signals and electrical energy provided by the energy storage unit 1032 to the transmission component 104 via the flexible circuit board 1036.

[0047] The control module 1035 is configured to control the opening and closing of multiple first heating modules 1013 and multiple second heating modules 1022 based on the first and second temperature signals it receives, thereby achieving intelligent temperature control. Furthermore, the control module 1035 integrates the communication protocols and interface timing of each circuit, and controls the start-up, shutdown, and operation of the entire energy storage unit 1032.

[0048] The light guide post 1034 is mounted on the lower housing 1037. Five indicator lights are mounted on the light guide post 1034 to indicate the charge level of the energy storage unit 1032 during charging and discharging. The specific configuration of the light guide post 1034 is as follows: The intelligent temperature control component 103 is in the ON state, and the power level display of the energy storage unit during its charging process is as follows: From 0% to 19%, one green light flashes while the other four indicator lights remain off. 20%–39% One green light is constantly on, one green light is flashing, and the other three indicator lights are off; 40%-59% Two green lights are constantly on, one green light is flashing, and the other two indicator lights are off; 60%–79% Three green lights are constantly on, one green light is flashing, and the remaining indicator light is off; 80%–99% of the time, all four green lights are constantly on, and one green light is flashing; 100% of the time, all five green lights are always on.

[0049] When the intelligent temperature control component 103 is in the ON state, the energy storage unit displays the power level during its discharge: 100%-80% of the time, all five green lights are constantly on; 79%–60% Four green lights are constantly on, while the remaining indicator light is off; The three green lights are constantly on for 59%–40% of the time, while the other two indicator lights are off. The two green lights for 39%-20% are constantly on, while the other three indicator lights are off. From 19% to 5%, one green light remains constantly on, while the other four indicator lights are off. When the indicator light flashes rapidly (5%–3%), the status of the other four indicator lights will turn off.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature-controlled shoe 100 may have multiple temperature settings, thus providing users with various temperature options. Furthermore, a temperature indicator light may be provided on the surface of the upper cover 1031 where the trademark is made of a transparent material. The control module 1035 can indicate the current temperature setting of the temperature-controlled shoe to the user by controlling the color displayed by the temperature indicator light. The specific setting is as follows: The first setting is the low setting, and the temperature indicator light is green, indicating to the user that heating will stop when the temperature reaches 40℃ and resume when the temperature reaches 37℃, and this cycle continues.

[0051] The second setting is the medium setting, and the temperature indicator light is blue, indicating to the user that heating will stop when the temperature reaches 45℃ and resume when the temperature reaches 42℃, and this cycle continues.

[0052] The third setting is the high-end mode, with the temperature indicator light displaying a red color, indicating to the user that heating will stop when the temperature reaches 50℃ and resume when the temperature reaches 47℃, and this cycle continues.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the indicator light flashes at a frequency of 1Hz. When the energy storage unit is discharging, when its charge level drops to 3%, the intelligent temperature control component 103 shuts off the output of the energy storage unit 1032 after a 3-second delay, stopping the discharge.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the intelligent temperature control component 103 further includes a touch button 1038. The touch button 1038 is disposed on the lower housing 1037. The user can press the touch button 1038 to cause it to elastically deform, thereby triggering the control module 1035 to switch the temperature level. The touch button 1038 may be made of an elastic material.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the touch button 1038 can be configured as follows: a long press of the touch button 1038 turns on the intelligent temperature control component 103, which defaults to level one, and the temperature indicator light is green; a short press of the touch button 1038 switches to level two, and the temperature indicator light is blue; another short press of the touch button 1038 switches to level three, and the temperature indicator light is red; finally, a long press of the touch button 1038 turns off the intelligent temperature control component 103.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, a charging port 1141 is also provided on one side of the touch button 1038. The elastic material on this side of the touch button 1038 is attached to the surface of the lower housing 1037 and covers the charging port 1141. When it is necessary to charge the energy storage unit 1032, the elastic material on this side can be lifted to expose the charging port 1141.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent temperature control component 103 also includes an adapter plate 1033. The energy storage unit 1032 is coupled to the flexible circuit board 1036 through the adapter plate 1033 to replace traditional wire transmission. By setting the adapter plate 1033, the size and weight of the intelligent temperature control component 103 can be reduced, the internal resistance can be reduced, and the power utilization rate can be improved.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature-controlled shoe 100 may further include a humidity sensor (not shown). This humidity sensor is configured to sense the humidity inside the temperature-controlled shoe 100 and output a first humidity signal. The intelligent temperature control component 103 is configured to control multiple first heating modules 1013 and / or multiple second heating modules 1022 to dehumidify based on the first humidity signal. Excessive humidity inside the temperature-controlled shoe 100 will cause a sticky feeling on the user's feet and affect the comfort of the shoe. The above-described configuration of this application can effectively dehumidify the temperature-controlled shoe 100, thereby ensuring that the inside of the temperature-controlled shoe 100 is dry and warm and comfortable.

[0059] This application also provides a method for manufacturing temperature-controlled shoes. Figure 6 A schematic diagram illustrating the manufacturing process of a temperature-controlled shoe according to an embodiment of this application is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 6 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Prepare two midsoles, namely a first laminated midsole 61 and a second laminated midsole 62; glue multiple first heating modules and first temperature sensors to the bottom fabric to form a first component; attach the first component to the lining layer to form a second component; sew the second component to a waterproof and breathable membrane to form a third component 63; bond the third component 63 to the first laminated midsole 61 to form a first inner boot 64; wherein, the lining layer is in direct contact with the instep; waterproof treatment is applied to the stitching of the first inner boot 64 to achieve a waterproof effect; the second laminated midsole 62 and the first laminated midsole 61 are sewn together with water-soluble thread, wherein... The second lapel midsole 62 includes a reserved portion 65 and a discarded portion 66. The reserved portion 65 is the part around the edge of the second lapel midsole 62, and the discarded portion 66 is the part of the second lapel midsole 62 without the edge. The stitching line is the boundary line between the reserved portion 65 and the discarded portion 66. The insole assembly is not sewn to the first lapel midsole 61 and the second lapel midsole 62. The first inner boot 64 is sewn to the upper 67 to complete the production of the entire upper assembly. The completed upper assembly is then bonded to the second lapel midsole 62, and the water-soluble thread is dissolved in water. The discarded portion 66 is then removed. The insole assembly is placed inside the first inner boot 64.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first inner boot 64 forms a heated inner cavity and also serves a waterproof function. After the upper assembly is bonded to the second laminated midsole 62, the discarded portion 66 needs to be removed. Because it is a double-layer redundant structure, retaining it would cause internal wrinkles and prevent it from fitting tightly to the outer layer. This manufacturing method, through the combination of the upper assembly and the two midsoles, constructs a double-layer inner boot structure with a dynamic waterproof rating, taking into account functionality, comfort, and durability.

[0061] The temperature-controlled shoe according to embodiments of this application achieves dynamic and zoned control of the internal temperature of the shoe by setting up an upper assembly, an insole assembly, and an intelligent temperature control assembly. Specifically, the temperature-controlled shoe according to embodiments of this application can dynamically select a control mode to perform zoned control of the internal temperature of the shoe based on ambient temperature fluctuations, individual user foot temperature needs, and the real-time power supply status of the energy storage unit, thereby providing a warming effect that better meets the personalized needs of different users. Simultaneously, the temperature-controlled shoe according to embodiments of this application also has multiple temperature settings, which users can select according to their own needs. Furthermore, the temperature-controlled shoe according to embodiments of this application also achieves signal and energy relay and distribution by setting up a highly integrated transmission component, simplifying circuit wiring and reducing the size and cost of the temperature-controlled shoe.
