[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0029] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that if directional descriptions are involved, such as up, down, left, right, etc., indicating the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the drawings, it is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
[0030] In the description of this invention, if words such as several, greater than, less than, exceeding, above, below, or within appear, then several means one or more, multiple means two or more, greater than, less than, exceeding, etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and above, below, or within are understood to include the number itself.
[0031] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0032] In the prior art, refer to Figure 1 The positioning part 20 is located on the lower side of the body 10 of the golf club head. During manufacturing, the body 10 and the positioning part 20 are integrally formed by casting, which is a solid structure and consumes a lot of materials. When removing the positioning part 20, it needs to be removed by milling, which takes a long time and causes tool wear. Therefore, the positioning structure of the golf club head needs to be redesigned.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A golf club head positioning structure includes a club head body 100 and a positioning block 200 located on the lower side of the club head body 100. The upper side of the positioning block 200 is provided with a protrusion 210. The protrusion 210 contacts the club head body 100 and is fixed by sintering, so that a separation gap 101 is formed between the club head body 100 and the positioning block 200.
[0034] Understandably, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, during manufacturing, the clubhead body 100 and the positioning block 200 can be manufactured separately. The positioning block 200 contacts the clubhead body 100 through the protrusion 210 and is fixed by sintering to secure it to the clubhead body 100, facilitating positioning in subsequent processing. Since they are manufactured separately and then sintered, the positioning block 200 can be made of a lower-cost material, and a separation gap 101 is formed between them. Compared to a solid structure cast in one piece, this reduces costs. Less material consumption and lower costs: Through the above structure, the positioning block 200 is fixed to the cue head body 100 through the protrusion 210 and there is a separation gap 101 between them. This helps to reduce the connection area between the positioning block 200 and the cue head body 100, making it easier to separate the positioning block 200 from the cue head body 100. When removing the positioning block 200, it can be separated from the cue head body 100 by stamping, saving processing time, avoiding tool wear, facilitating the removal of the positioning block 200, and facilitating production application.
[0035] In practical applications, the sintering between the positioning block 200 and the club head body 100 and the sintering of the club head body 100 itself can be completed in the same process, thus saving processing steps.
[0036] In some embodiments, a boss 110 is provided on the lower side of the club head body 100 corresponding to the protrusion 210, and the club head body 100 contacts the protrusion 210 through the boss 110.
[0037] Understandably, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, by setting the boss 110, the protrusion 210 contacts the boss 110, and a structure with opposing protrusions is formed between the club head body 100 and the positioning block 200. This facilitates the formation of the separation gap 101, making it easier for the two to separate and also facilitating their sintering and fixing, thus making it convenient to use. In practical applications, the specific structure of the boss 110 can be set according to the actual usage requirements.
[0038] In some embodiments, the upper side of the protrusion 210 has an arc-shaped structure and is fixed to the clubhead body 100 by sintering. It is understood that, as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the upper side of the protrusion 210 has an arc-shaped structure, which helps to reduce the contact area between the two, further facilitating the separation of the subsequent positioning block 200 from the clubhead body 100, and making it easier to separate by stamping. In practical applications, the upper side of the protrusion 210 can be hemispherical or other arc-shaped structures, which can be set according to the actual needs of use.
[0039] In some embodiments, the protrusions 210 are provided in a plurality of portions and are distributed at peripheral intervals around the positioning block 200. It is understood that, as Figure 4 As shown, multiple protrusions 210 are spaced apart around the periphery of the positioning block 200 to improve the stability of the connection between the positioning block 200 and the clubhead body 100, prevent the positioning block 200 from separating from the clubhead body 100 during positioning and use, and improve reliability. In practical applications, the specific number and distribution of protrusions 210 can be set according to actual usage needs.
[0040] In some embodiments, a limiting structure is provided between the lower side of the club head body 100 and the upper side of the positioning block 200, and the relative position is limited by the limiting structure. It is understood that by setting the limiting structure to limit the relative position between the club head body 100 and the positioning block 200, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the connection between the two, and also to limit the positioning block 200 during sintering, so as to facilitate the sintering and fixing of the positioning block 200.
[0041] Specifically, the limiting structure includes a limiting post 120 and a limiting hole 201 for the insertion of the limiting post 120. One of the limiting post 120 and the limiting hole 201 is located on the lower side of the club head body 100, and the other is located on the upper side of the positioning block 200.
[0042] Understandably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting post 120 is disposed on the lower side of the clubhead body 100, and the limiting hole 201 is disposed on the upper side of the positioning block 200. When the positioning block 200 is sintered, the limiting post 120 is inserted into the limiting hole 201 to limit the relative horizontal movement between the clubhead body 100 and the positioning block 200. Its structure is simple and easy to use. In practical applications, the limiting post 120 can also be disposed on the upper side of the positioning block 200, and the limiting hole 201 can be disposed on the lower side of the clubhead body 100. The limiting structure can also be achieved by providing block-shaped parts on the clubhead body 100 and the positioning block 200 respectively, and the limiting is achieved by the mutual abutment between the block-shaped parts. The specific design can be changed according to the actual use needs.
[0043] Furthermore, at least two limiting posts 120 are provided and spaced apart, and multiple limiting holes 201 are provided corresponding to the limiting posts 120. It is understandable that, as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, two limiting posts 120 are provided and spaced apart in the left-right direction. Two limiting holes 201 are provided corresponding to the limiting posts 120. By providing multiple limiting posts 120 that cooperate with the limiting holes 201, the relative rotation between the club head body 100 and the positioning block 200 is effectively limited, further improving the limiting effect and facilitating use. In practical applications, three, four, or more limiting posts 120 can also be provided, with the limiting holes 201 corresponding to the limiting posts 120.
[0044] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting protrusions 220 are provided around the periphery of the limiting hole 201 at intervals. The limiting protrusions 220 abut against the lower side of the club head body 100 to limit the depth of the limiting post 120 inserted into the limiting hole 201.
[0045] Understandably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the periphery of the limiting hole 201 is provided with four limiting protrusions 220. The limiting protrusions 220 abut against the lower side of the club head body 100 to limit the depth of the limiting post 120 inserted into the limiting hole 201, thereby limiting the relative vertical position between the club head body 100 and the positioning block 200. The setting of the limiting protrusions 220 also helps to prevent the limiting post 120 from being inserted too deeply into the limiting hole 201, thus facilitating the stamping separation between the club head body 100 and the positioning block 200. In practical applications, each limiting hole 201 may also have two, three or more limiting protrusions 220 on its periphery. The specific structure of the limiting protrusions 220 can be set according to the actual use requirements.
[0046] In some embodiments, the positioning block 200 is provided with a weight-reducing recess 202 and / or the positioning block 200 is a hollow structure. It is understood that, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 200 is provided with multiple weight-reducing recesses 202 to minimize the material used in the positioning block 200 and save costs. Of course, in practical applications, the positioning block 200 can also be a hollow structure, or both weight-reducing recesses 202 and hollow structure can be provided to reduce the material used in the positioning block 200 and save costs.
[0047] According to the processing technology of the second aspect of the present invention, the golf club head positioning structure of the first aspect of the present invention is applied, wherein the positioning block 200 is separated from the club head body 100 by stamping.
[0048] According to the processing technology of the present invention, the positioning block 200 is separated from the club head body 100 by stamping, which can save processing time, avoid tool wear, and facilitate production application compared with milling.
[0049] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
