Description

Graphene health shoes

This invention relates to a kind of health shoes, and in particular to a kind of health shoes with a graphene upper.

Graphene textiles, due to the special current characteristics of graphene in them, will produce beneficial physiological effects on the human body and are chemically stable, and will not change or deteriorate over time. Graphene is non-toxic and non-allergenic to the body and is quite safe. Since electric current is beneficial to the body and can relieve muscle tension, it is very suitable for physical health use.

Graphene and carbon fiber are both related to carbon atoms and are currently the most expensive and hardest raw materials. Therefore, the far-infrared emission rate of currently developed graphene products can reach more than 90%. In addition, graphene textiles have antibacterial and odor-reducing effects, making them applicable to close-fitting textile products such as clothes, pants, and underwear.

The human feet hold a large amount of blood. When the blood in the feet needs to flow back to the heart, the blood needs to flow upward for an average of more than one meter. Therefore, the pressure required by the feet to push blood is no less than that of the heart. Therefore, the feet are also known as the second heart of humans.

When the function of the feet declines due to factors such as age and disease, blood cannot be sent back to the heart smoothly and begins to accumulate in the feet, causing poor circulation in the feet. This poor peripheral blood circulation may further cause problems such as swelling, thrombosis, and systemic cardiovascular disease. Worse still, problems such as toe necrosis or ulcers that cannot heal and must be amputated may occur, which in turn causes a decline in the patient's quality of life and causes social and medical costs.

The feet of diabetic patients are particularly susceptible to peripheral vascular disease caused by diabetes, which can lead to vascular hardening or blockage, making the feet of diabetic patients more susceptible to non-traumatic foot ulcers and complications such as infections than the general population.

However, if shoes that are worn in daily life can provide warming to the feet to promote blood circulation in the feet, the problem of poor blood circulation in the feet and peripheral blood as described in the prior art can be improved, and complications such as amputations and wounds that are often caused by poor peripheral blood circulation in the elderly or diabetic patients can be prevented.

Therefore, the main purpose of this invention is to provide a graphene health shoe that can comprehensively increase the temperature of the feet and improve the blood circulation of the feet.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a graphene health shoe, comprising: a sole; and an upper, wherein the upper is connected to the sole to form a wearing space; wherein the upper comprises a graphene cloth, and the upper has stretch elasticity.

In the graphene health shoes as described above, the graphene cloth comprises: a graphene honeycomb cloth layer; a neoprene layer stacked on the graphene honeycomb cloth layer; and a nylon stretch cloth layer stacked on the neoprene layer.

In the graphene health shoes as described above, the graphene honeycomb fabric layer is arranged adjacent to the wearing space.

In the graphene health shoes as described above, the graphene honeycomb fabric layer includes a graphene polyester double-woven yarn and a polyurethane elastic fiber (spandex).

The graphene health shoes as described above further include an insole, which is arranged on the sole, wherein the insole includes another graphene cloth.

The graphene health shoes as described above further include a tail portion, which is arranged at the rear of the sole, and the material hardness of the tail portion is greater than the material hardness of the upper.

The graphene health shoes as mentioned above further include a head portion, which is arranged at the front of the sole, and the material hardness of the head portion is greater than the material hardness of the upper.

In the graphene health shoes as described above, the shoe upper further includes a fixing portion suitable for selective tightening and fixing.

Through the graphene health shoes created by this invention, the feet can be completely covered with the stretchable graphene cloth upper that surrounds them. Through the physical and chemical properties of graphene and the characteristics of far-infrared radiation, a warming environment is provided for the feet and toes of the extremities, thereby further promoting blood circulation in the feet and toes of the extremities, and reducing the risks of subsequent complications such as amputation and wound complications caused by poor peripheral blood circulation.

FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the shoe body structure of a graphene health shoe of an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a graphene health shoe 10, comprising a sole 100 and an upper 200. The upper 200 is connected to the sole 100 to form a wearing space for the foot to wear. The upper 200 includes a graphene cloth, and the upper 200 has tensile elasticity and can be stretched. In one embodiment, the upper 200 is composed of a graphene cloth and has tensile elasticity. In one embodiment, the upper 200 itself has tensile elasticity. Through the tensile elastic material of the upper 200, the upper 200 can be provided with four-way stretching to adapt to situations such as deformed feet or protruding bones, and provide good ductility for various needs. The graphene cloth refers to a cloth woven with graphene material for textiles, such as but not limited to: nylon cloth, polyester fiber, polyurethane elastic fiber and other elastic and breathable textile cloths. The material of the sole 100 is, for example, a composite lightweight rubber.

Through the basic physical and chemical properties of graphene, the graphene cloth can release far infrared rays with a wavelength of about 4 to 14 microns to provide the feet wearing the graphene health shoes 10 with heat and warmth through the surrounding and wrapping of the graphene cloth on the upper 200, thereby improving blood circulation. In addition, through the resonance of its far infrared wavelength, the microvessels of the feet can also be expanded and blood circulation can be accelerated, while inhibiting bacterial growth, achieving the effect of reducing odor, and improving the user's limb peripheral blood circulation to achieve the effect of foot health care.

FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the stacked structure of the graphene fabric of the graphene health shoes of the first embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the graphene fabric 210 includes a graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211, a neoprene layer 212, and a nylon stretch fabric layer 213. The graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211, the neoprene layer 212, and the nylon stretch fabric layer 213 are stacked and connected to each other. In one embodiment, the graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 is closely disposed in the wearing space, that is, the graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 is directly exposed and in contact with the wearing space. When the user's foot is worn in the wearing space, the foot will directly contact the graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 of the upper 200, so that the upper 200 not only provides elastic covering and protection for the foot, but also provides a warming effect of completely covering the entire foot and the instep through the graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 of the upper 200 that is in direct contact with the entire foot and surrounds the entire foot front, back, left, right and instep, so as to closely cover the extremities of the limbs such as the toes, so as to enhance the blood circulation of the feet and the extremities.

The graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 is a fabric that is woven with graphene in a honeycomb structure to enhance the comfort of the original fabric while having the physical and chemical properties of graphene. In one embodiment of the invention, the graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 includes a graphene polyester double-woven yarn and a polyurethane elastic fiber (spandex). The graphene polyester double-woven yarn is compared to the general weaving of 46% graphene polyester and 54% polyurethane elastic fiber. The graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211 with double the graphene weaving amount is adopted. Through the fabric combination with 92% graphene polyester double-woven yarn and 8% polyurethane elastic fiber, and the graphene powder is printed on the fabric surface on the graphene honeycomb fabric layer 211, it can further provide a better warming effect when wearing the graphene health shoes 10, and further improve blood flow, blood flow rate, blood oxygen concentration, etc. to improve blood circulation in the extremities.

In one embodiment of the invention, the graphene health shoe 10 further includes an insole, which is disposed on the sole 100 and disposed on the portion above the sole 100 facing the wearing space, wherein the insole includes another graphene cloth, and the graphene cloth of the insole is the same as the graphene cloth used in the upper 200. In one embodiment, the insole can be composed of graphene cloth. In one embodiment, the graphene cloth can cover the surface of the insole, so that the portion in contact with the foot is the graphene cloth, and the insole below can still have the function of other types and shapes of insoles. In this way, the graphene cloth covering the foot in the front, back, left, right and instep directions is provided through the upper 200, and the graphene cloth covering the foot in the sole direction is provided through the insole, so that the entire foot is completely covered in the graphene cloth material, and can have a good effect of increasing temperature and promoting blood circulation.

FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the shoe body structure of a graphene health shoe according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the graphene health shoe 10 further includes a tail portion 300, which is disposed at the rear of the sole 100. The material hardness of the tail portion 300 is greater than the material hardness of the upper 200, so as to enhance the support strength and support stability when wearing the graphene health shoe 10, avoid the entire upper 200 being too soft and easily deformed when worn, and avoid the need for additional force to ensure stable walking when worn.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the graphene health shoe 10 further includes a head portion 400, which is disposed at the front portion of the sole 100. The material hardness of the head portion 400 is greater than the material hardness of the upper 200, so as to enhance the safety of the toes when wearing the graphene health shoe 10 and avoid toe injuries caused by collisions during walking.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the upper 200 of the graphene health shoe 10 further includes a fixing portion 500, and the fixing portion 500 is suitable for selectively tightening and fixing to flexibly adjust the tightness and comfort when wearing the graphene health shoe 10. The fixing portion 500 is, for example but not limited to: adjustable Velcro, Velcro, shoelaces and other fixing, tightening and wearing methods.

It is further explained that, through the shoe upper with a graphene honeycomb fabric layer composed of 92% graphene polyester double-woven yarn and 8% polyurethane elastic fiber in an embodiment of the present invention, the far-infrared rays of the graphene honeycomb fabric with an average emissivity of 0.83 help the limbs to raise their temperature by 13.34°C, increase blood flow by 11%, increase blood flow rate by 12.1%, and increase finger blood oxygen concentration by +1.0, which is better than the maximum temperature increase of 12.68°C of ordinary graphene fabrics.
