[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the application of degradable materials in various fields has attracted more and more attention. With the popularity of golf, most traditional golf balls are made of non-degradable materials, which are difficult to recycle after use, causing great pressure on the environment. Rice husks and straws are agricultural wastes with a wide range of sources and large quantities. If they can be effectively used in the preparation of golf balls, it can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also achieve resource recycling. At present, there have been some studies on straw husk granulation technology, but there is no mature method for applying it to the preparation of degradable golf balls. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the recycling trouble caused by the non-degradability of traditional golf balls, and to provide a method for preparing degradable golf balls using rice husks and straws through high temperature and high pressure. The present invention uses rice husks and straws to prepare golf balls. The materials are degradable, which reduces pollution to the environment. At the same time, agricultural waste rice husks and straws are effectively utilized, turning waste into treasure and improving resource utilization. The golf balls prepared by the present invention through specific processes and formulas can meet the requirements of golf in terms of performance. In addition, rice husks and straws are widely available and relatively low in cost, which reduces the production cost of golf balls.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a method for preparing a degradable golf ball using rice husks and straws, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0005] (1) Collect rice husks and rice straw, wash and dry them, and remove impurities;

[0006] (2) crushing the processed rice husk and straw to obtain powder of a certain particle size;

[0007] (3) mixing rice husk and straw powder in a specific ratio and adding an appropriate amount of adhesive and other additives;

[0008] (4) placing the mixed material into a specific mold and performing a molding process under high temperature and high pressure conditions;

[0009] (5) The molded golf ball is subjected to subsequent treatments such as cooling and demolding to obtain a finished degradable golf ball.

[0010] Furthermore, the rice husks and straw collected in step (1) should be free of mildew.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying method in step (1) is hot air drying or natural air drying.

[0012] Furthermore, the particle size of the rice husk and straw crushed in step (2) is 0.1-0.8 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (3), the ratio of rice husk to straw is 1:1.5-1:2.

[0014] Furthermore, the adhesive in step (3) is one or more of a starch adhesive, a lignin adhesive and a protein adhesive.

[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary agent in step (3) should also include a plasticizer, a lubricant and an antioxidant.

[0016] Furthermore, the high temperature and high pressure conditions in step (4) are a temperature of 150-220° C. and a pressure of 12-20 MPa.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows: (1) Rice husks and straw are used to prepare golf balls, and the materials are degradable, which reduces pollution to the environment; (2) Agricultural waste rice husks and straw are effectively utilized, turning waste into treasure, and improving resource utilization; (3) Through specific processes and formulas, the prepared golf balls can meet the requirements of golf in terms of performance; (4) Rice husks and straw are widely available and relatively low in cost, which reduces the production cost of golf balls.
