Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of handball production, specifically a method for manufacturing a heat-bonded handball. Background Art
[0002] Due to its intense competitive confrontation and unique viewing pleasure, handball is widely popular worldwide, and the number of participants is increasing day by day. During intense matches and high-intensity daily training, handballs are frequently subjected to strong impacts, continuous friction, and various complex and changeable usage environments. However, the current manufacturing methods of handballs, such as machine sewing and hand sewing, have a series of problems that need to be solved urgently, resulting in difficulties in meeting the actual requirements in terms of circumference, gram weight, and service life.
[0003] The toughness of the leather material of existing handballs is insufficient, and it is extremely easy to wear and break under frequent hitting and friction; the internal structure design lacks rationality and cannot effectively disperse the impact force, resulting in premature damage to the internal components of the ball; the manufacturing process is not delicate enough, causing the overall quality of the handball to be unstable, which in turn has a negative impact on the performance of the handball, such as its flight trajectory, elastic feedback, and the athlete's grip feeling. These problems not only increase the cost for athletes and users to replace handballs, but also hinder the popularization and development of handball to a certain extent. Moreover, the leather material of the ball is too hard or too slippery, resulting in insufficient friction and tactile feedback for athletes when holding and passing the ball, affecting the accuracy of ball control.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a method for manufacturing a heat-bonded handball to solve the problems raised in the above background art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a heat-bonded handball to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A method for manufacturing a heat-bonded handball includes the following steps: S101. Inner bladder production: After mixing natural rubber and butyl rubber, it is successively subjected to plasticating and mixing treatments to form a uniform film, and the film is placed into an inner bladder processing mold to make an inner bladder; S102. Filling layer production: After thoroughly mixing polypropylene foamed microspheres and a binder evenly, it is injected into the space between the inner bladder and the reinforcing layer to form a stable whole; S103. Reinforcing layer production: Using a weaving process, carbon fiber filaments or glass fiber filaments are woven into a regular mesh structure. Then, the woven fiber mesh is tightly sleeved outside the inner bladder and the filling layer, and a high-strength binder is used to firmly bond it to the filling layer to enhance the overall strength of the handball; S104. Making the ball skin: Cut the composite fabric of aramid fiber and polyurethane according to the shape and size of the handball, and tightly wrap it around the outside of the reinforcement layer through hot pressing and stitching processes. During stitching, use high-strength nylon or polyester threads and perform multi-layer reinforcement on the stitched parts to significantly improve the overall strength and wear resistance of the ball skin. S105. Surface treatment: Spray a wear-resistant coating composed of nano-scale ceramic particles and organic resin on the surface of the handball. This coating has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, can further enhance the surface hardness of the handball, and effectively extend the service life of the handball.
[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: It also includes constructing a hexagonal grid structure of honeycombs between the inner bladder and the filling layer. This structure can not only provide good support but also effectively reduce the weight; between the ball skin and the reinforcement layer, adopt an overlapping arrangement structure of fish scales to increase the flexibility and touch of the ball skin, make the handball fit the hand more closely when being held, and improve the hand feeling.
[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: In the composite fabric of aramid fiber and polyurethane in step S104, the content of aramid fiber is 50%-80%.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: In the blend of natural rubber and butyl rubber in step S101, the content of natural rubber is 60%-90%.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: The average particle size of the polypropylene microspheres in step S102 is 10-100 μm.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: The weaving density of the carbon fiber woven mesh or glass fiber woven mesh in step S103 is 80-150 fibers per square centimeter.
[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: In step S101, the inner bladder is made by a hot pressing forming process, the forming temperature is 140-180 °C, and the pressure is 8-15 MPa.
[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: In step S102, the filling layer is made by mixing the filling material and the binder evenly and injecting them into the space between the inner bladder and the reinforcement layer, and making them evenly distributed through vibration and rotation.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. By selecting high-strength ball skin materials, adding a reinforcement layer, and performing professional surface wear-resistant treatment, the handball made by the present invention has been greatly improved in terms of wear resistance.
[0015] 2. In the present invention, the reasonable structural design is combined with high-quality raw materials, enabling the handball to better withstand impact force, significantly reducing the risk of damage to internal components. At the same time, good airtightness and chemical stability ensure the service life of the inner bladder, thereby significantly extending the service life of the entire handball.
[0016] 3. The present invention adopts an overlapping arrangement structure similar to fish scales, increasing the flexibility and touch of the ball skin, making the handball fit more closely to the hand when being held, and enhancing the hand feeling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
