Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insoles lack sufficient shock-absorbing performance, particularly in the heel portion, leading to fatigue and discomfort during prolonged walking or exercising, and multi-layer composite structures are prone to delamination and falling off.
Innovation Solution
A honeycomb silicone shock-absorbing integrally-formed insole with a silicone structure featuring hexagonal cells and honeycomb holes, integrated with a surface and base layer, and a detachable connection mechanism using Velcro, ensuring stability and durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a multi-layer composite structure is used for shock-absorbing insoles, then shock-absorbing performance is improved, but the insole becomes prone to delamination and falling off
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the shock-absorbing function and the insole structure into a single integrated layer rather than using multiple separate layers. The breathable insole incorporates shock-absorbing regions directly within its structure, eliminating the need for separate shock-absorbing layers and thus preventing delamination issues while maintaining shock-absorbing performance.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the insole structure is simplified to prevent delamination, then structural stability is improved, but shock-absorbing performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating specific shock-absorbing regions within the insole structure rather than making the entire insole complex. The breathable insole has designated areas with enhanced shock-absorbing properties (such as heel and forefoot regions) while maintaining an overall simple integrated structure, thus achieving both structural stability and adequate shock-absorbing performance.
3Ease of manufacture
If existing insoles are designed without sufficient heel support, then manufacturing is simpler, but wearer comfort deteriorates during prolonged use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances heel comfort by incorporating a specifically designed heel region within the breathable insole structure. This heel region includes elevated heel cushioning elements and enhanced shock-absorbing properties localized to the heel area, providing improved support and comfort during prolonged wear while maintaining the overall simplicity of the integrated insole design.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Provides effective shock-absorbing and supporting properties, preventing delamination and improving comfort by forming an air column for impact dispersion, while maintaining structural integrity and ease of replacement.
Implementation Method 1
When wearing and walking, an air column is formed in the shock-absorbing hole to play a supporting and shock-absorbing role, and a silicone material can also provide a good shock-absorbing effect, and can effectively absorb and disperse an impact force generated during walking or exercising
Implementation Method 2
a silicone material can also provide a good shock-absorbing effect, and can effectively absorb and disperse an impact force generated during walking or exercising
