Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is a striking device, particularly a golf club head used in the sport of golf. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the feel of a golfer's shot and reduce the difficulty of hitting the ball, manufacturers adjust the internal structure of the clubhead to reduce the impact feedback to the player's hand during impact. They also adjust the center of gravity of the clubhead to increase the moment of inertia (MOI) of the golf club at impact, thereby improving the stability of the golf ball's flight distance and direction after impact.

[0003] In modern golf clubs, the clubhead has a cushioning pad and a counterweight at the rear of the striking face. The cushioning pad reduces the impact force during impact, while the counterweight adjusts the center of gravity of the clubhead, thereby adjusting the moment of inertia of the golf club during impact.

[0004] However, when the clubhead of the golf club strikes the ball, although the cushioning pad can reduce the impact force during the strike, the shock generated by the impact will still be transmitted to the player's hand through the club, thus affecting the feel of the ball after the strike. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the feel of the clubhead of a modern golf club is not good when hitting the ball.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is: to achieve the aforementioned objective, this invention provides a golf club head, the golf club head comprising:

[0007] A clubhead body has a club connector and a striking face formed at its front end, and at least one first cavity formed at its rear end. The club connector is located on one side of the front end of the clubhead body.

[0008] A buffer component includes a buffer member and a damping member. The buffer member is disposed in a first cavity of the clubhead body, and the interior of the buffer member has an accommodating space with an opening facing the hitting panel. The damping member is disposed in the accommodating space of the buffer member and abuts against the rear end face of the hitting panel.

[0009] The golf club head described above may further include a weight-adding component located at the rear end of the club head body.

[0010] In the golf club head described above, a second cavity is formed at the rear end of the first cavity in the club head body, and the weight-adding component is disposed in the second cavity.

[0011] In the golf club head described above, the club head body forms a channel, which is an accommodating space connecting the first cavity, the second cavity, and the buffer member.

[0012] In the golf club head described above, the buffer abuts against the rear end face of the striking panel and contacts the bottom end of the first cavity, and the buffer covers the periphery of the damping member.

[0013] In the golf club head described above, the distance from the bottom edge of the club head body to the top edge of the cushioning component is defined as D, and the distance from the bottom edge of the club head body to the top edge of the striking face is defined as L.

[0014] In the golf club head described above, the position of the damping element corresponds to the center of gravity position of the golf club head.

[0015] In the golf club head described above, the damping component is made of an elastic polymer material; the density of the buffer component is lower than the density of the club head body.

[0016] In the golf club head described above, the damping element can be injection-cured and molded in the accommodating space via the channel through the second cavity using an elastic polymer material.

[0017] By means of the aforementioned overall structural design of the golf club head, the golf club head of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Improved hitting feel and reduced impact feedback during impact: The golf club head of the present invention can reduce impact and absorb shock by means of the buffer component and damping component of the buffer component. Therefore, when the golf club head is in impact, the damping component and the buffer component can use the cooperation between the composite materials to disperse and absorb the impact force during the impact process, and at the same time reduce the generation of vibration, thereby improving the hitting feel and reducing the impact feedback during impact.

[0019] 2. It can lower the center of gravity and improve the rotational inertia and stability during the shot: The golf club head of the present invention can be further provided with a weight-adding component in the lower section of the club head body, thereby shifting the center of gravity of the golf club head downward, which can effectively improve the rotational inertia and stability during the shot.

[0020] 3. Presenting a layered appearance: The buffer component and the weight-adding component of the golf club head of the present invention are respectively disposed in the second cavity and the first cavity of the club head body, and adopt a visible structure, so that the golf club head can present a layered appearance through the differences in the material itself or the appearance coating between the club head body and the buffer component and the weight-adding component.

[0028] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, further illustrates the technical means employed by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This is a preferred embodiment of the golf club head of the present invention, which includes a club head body 10 and a buffer component 20.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the front end of the clubhead body 10 has a club connection portion 11 and a striking panel 12, and the rear end of the clubhead body 10 has at least a first cavity 13. The club connection portion 11 is located on one side of the front end of the clubhead body 10.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the buffer member 20 comprises a buffer element 21 and a damping element 22, the buffer element 21 is disposed in the first cavity 13 of the club head body 10, and an accommodation space 211 with an opening facing the direction of the hitting face plate 12 is formed inside the buffer element 21, the damping element 22 is disposed in the accommodation space 211 of the buffer element 21 and abuts against the rear end face of the hitting face plate 12; wherein, the damping element 22 can be made of an elastic polymer material, preferably Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU); in addition, the density of the buffer element 21 is lower than the density of the club head body 10, for example, when the club head body 10 is made of stainless steel, the density of the buffer element material is lower than that of stainless steel, which can be a metallic material or a non-metallic material, such as magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, carbon fiber or high molecular polymer, and aluminum alloy is preferred.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the golf club head may further comprise a weight increasing member 30, the weight increasing member 30 is disposed at the rear end of the club head body 10.

[0033] wherein, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, a second cavity 14 can be formed at the rear end of the club head body 10, that is, at the rear end of the first cavity 13, and the weight increasing member 30 is disposed in the second cavity 14; in addition, the club head body 10 is formed with a channel 15, and the channel 15 communicates the first cavity 13, the second cavity 14 and the accommodation space 211 of the buffer element 21; the damping element 22 can be injection-molded and cured in the accommodation space 211 through the channel 15 from the second cavity 14 by using an elastic polymer material.

[0034] In addition, as Figure 3 shown, the buffer element 21 abuts against the rear end face of the hitting face plate 12 and contacts the bottom end of the first cavity 13, and the buffer element 21 covers the outer periphery of the damping element 22.

[0035] In addition, as Figure 3 shown, the distance from the bottom edge of the club head body to the top edge of the buffer member is defined as D, and the distance from the bottom edge of the club head body to the top edge of the hitting face plate is defined as L, wherein 1 / 3L<D<1 / 2L; in addition, the position of the damping element 22 corresponds to the center of gravity of the golf club head.

[0036] The shaft connecting portion 11 of the golf club head of the present invention can be connected to a shaft of a golf club, and wherein, as Figures 2 to 6As shown, in the manufacturing process of the golf club head of the present invention, the damping element 22 of the buffer component 20 can be disposed in the receiving space 211 of the buffer component 21 by means of embedding or injection. The following describes the two disposal methods respectively.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, when the damping component 22 is installed by embedding, the damping component 22 can be pre-formed and embedded in the receiving space 211 of the buffer component 21. Then, the assembled buffer component 21 and damping component 22 are installed in the first cavity 13 of the club head body 10, and the weight-adding component 30 is installed in the second cavity 14, thus completing the assembly of the golf club head.

[0038] When the damping element 22 is installed by injection, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the buffer member 21 of the buffer component 20 can first be placed into the first cavity 13 of the rod head body 10, and then, as... Figure 6 As shown, the damping element 22 is injected into the receiving space 211 of the buffer element 21 through the channel 15 in the first cavity 13, so that the damping element 22 fills the receiving space 211 of the buffer element 21. After the excess material is removed by post-processing, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the assembly of the golf club head is completed by installing the weight-adding component 30 in the second cavity 14. Similarly, in both embodiments described above, the buffer component 20 and the weight-adding component 30 can be installed on the club head body 10 by welding or bonding.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the golf club head of the present invention can reduce the impact force generated when the golf club head hits the ball by means of the interaction between the buffer member 21 and the elastic buffer material of the buffer member 20. Since the damping member 22 is directly attached to the rear end face of the hitting face 12, when the hitting face 12 at the front end of the club head body 10 hits the ball, the impact force on the hitting face 12 is directly transmitted to the damping member 22, and the damping member 22 absorbs the aftershock generated when hitting the ball. At the same time, the buffer member 21 provides cushioning to reduce the impact force. The cooperation between the two composite materials of the damping member 22 and the buffer member 21 can achieve the effect of dispersing and absorbing the impact force during the hitting process, and at the same time reduce the generation of vibration, thereby improving the hitting feel and reducing the impact feedback when hitting the ball, and improving the comfort of the player when holding the club during the hitting process.

[0040] In addition, such as Figure 3As shown, the weight-adding component 30 of the golf club head of the present invention can be independently set at the lower section of the club head body 10, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the golf club head without affecting the buffering effect of the buffer component 20, effectively increasing the rotational inertia during the shot, and thus improving the stability during the shot.

[0041] In addition, the buffer component 20 and the weight-adding component 30 of the golf club head of the present invention are respectively disposed in the second cavity 14 and the first cavity 13 of the club head body 10, and adopt a visible structure, thereby allowing the golf club head to present a sense of layering through the differences in the material itself or the appearance coating between the club head body 10 and the buffer component 20 and the weight-adding component 30.

[0042] In summary, the golf club head of the present invention can achieve the effect of dispersing and absorbing the impact force during the hitting process by the cooperation between the two composite materials of the damping component 22 and the buffer component 21, thereby improving the hitting feel and reducing the impact feedback during the hitting process, and improving the player's comfort when holding the club during the hitting process.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
