Abstract

A shoe, including a shoe upper, a sole and a wearing space. Further includes an airflow distributing device and an exhaust port. The airflow distributing device includes an air inlet and an air outlet, which are served to discharge the hot and humid air from inside the shoe to the outside. The shoe achieves a function of expelling humid and hot air from the shoe through the airflow distributing device, thus improving the comfort of the internal environment of the shoe and solving the issues of stuffiness and dampness in conventional footwear. The airflow distributing device drives forced ventilation, making the air exchange efficiency independent of environmental conditions and actively creating an airflow path of “external environment→humid and hot air inside the shoe→air inlet of the airflow distributing device→airflow distributing device pressurizes and accelerates→air outlet of the sole→external environment.”

Claims

 a sole body, an airflow distributing device is defined inside the sole body, an exhaust port is defined on a bottom of the sole body, and the airflow distributing device is configured to expel air inside the shoe to an outside of the shoe through the exhaust port, while accelerating an air circulation rate; and   a supporting insole, which is arranged within the wearing space, the supporting insole is equipped with air guiding mesh grooves, and the air guiding mesh grooves are configured for secondary distribution of an airflow in the wearing space, and the airflow is introduced through the airflow distributing device.   
     
     
         2 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting insole is equipped with ventilation holes, one end of each of the ventilation holes is communicated with the wearing space; and
 the supporting insole comprises an insole surface, which is provided with supporting protrusions;   and the air guiding mesh grooves are formed by the supporting protrusions and the insole surface;   the supporting protrusions are configured to support a user's foot, and the air guiding mesh groove is configured to form an airflow passage, redistributing the air drawn from the outside of the shoe, allowing the airflow to be more evenly distributed under the user's foot through the air guiding mesh grooves.   
     
     
         3 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein a height of the supporting protrusions is at least 1 mm, a distance between two adjacent supporting protrusions of the supporting protrusions is 1 mm to 15 mm, and an upper surface area of each of the supporting protrusions is at least 2 mm 2 ; and
 a depth of the air guiding mesh grooves is limited by the height of the supporting protrusions, and   a groove width of the air guiding mesh grooves is limited by the distance of the two adjacent supporting protrusions.   
     
     
         4 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the supporting insole further comprises a fitting surface;
 wherein the insole surface and the fitting surface are positioned on opposite sides of the supporting insole;   another end of each of the ventilation holes is communicated with the fitting surface;   the airflow distributing device is positioned below the fitting surface.   
     
     
         5 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the airflow distributing device comprises an air inlet and an air outlet;
 wherein the air inlet is communicated with the wearing space, and the air outlet is communicated with the exhaust port located on the bottom of the sole; the air inside the shoe is drawn out through the air inlet from the wearing space and then expelled to the outside through the air outlet after passing through the exhaust port.   
     
     
         6 . The shoe according to  claim 5 , wherein the ventilation holes are communicated with the wearing space through the airflow passage formed in the air guiding mesh grooves, and the ventilation holes are positioned near the air inlet; and
 the supporting insole also comprises a mounting groove and a diversion groove; the air inlet is positioned opposite an opening of the mounting groove, and the airflow passage formed in the air guiding mesh grooves is communicated with the diversion groove, and the diversion groove is communicated with the mounting groove.   
     
     
         7 . The shoe according to  claim 5 , wherein the airflow distributing device comprises a motor, a fan, an installation frame, and an installation cover;
 wherein the installation frame is detachably connected to the installation cover, and an installation space is formed by the installation frame and the installation cover;   the motor and the fan are detachably mounted in the installation space;   the air inlet is positioned on the installation cover, and the air outlet is positioned on the installation frame;   the air outlet is equipped with a supporting mesh, which is embedded.   
     
     
         8 . The shoe according to  claim 7 , wherein the air outlet is provided with a supporting column, which is positioned on a side of the air outlet closer to the fan. 
     
     
         9 . The shoe according to  claim 7 , wherein the fan comprises an upper surface, and an angle α between a plane of the exhaust port and an axis perpendicular to the upper surface is between 70 and 110 degrees. 
     
     
         10 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein an exhaust passage is defined on the bottom of the sole, and the exhaust passage is positioned around the exhaust port; and the exhaust passage is configured to guide the airflow expelled by the airflow distributing device out of the shoe through the exhaust passage. 
     
     
         11 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the shoe upper comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, and a middle layer, and the middle layer is equipped with a flexible supporting structure, forming an airflow passage. 
     
     
         12 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible supporting structure is a flexible conduit or a sandwich mesh. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the shoe upper is equipped with a shoe upper hole, and the shoe upper hole is communicated with the wearing space.
