Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sports equipment, in particular to a luminous sphere. Background Art

[0002] Among the existing sports, ball games are still the choice of most people and are loved by most people. However, most balls do not have a light-emitting function and are only suitable for daytime sports or indoor venues with corresponding lighting equipment.

[0003] There are now luminous balls and fluorescent balls on the market. These luminous balls are made of fluorescent luminous materials or reflective luminous materials. Their own luminous ability is weak and they need to be used in venues with certain lighting capabilities.

[0004] Chinese patent CN217139144U discloses a luminous sphere with a battery assembly, which includes a ball liner with an internal cavity, an intermediate layer surrounding the outside of the ball liner, an outer layer surrounding the outside of the intermediate layer, a through hole passing through the ball liner, the intermediate layer, and the outer layer, a lamp holder arranged in the through hole, a lamp assembly that at least partially passes through the lamp holder and is received and fixed by the lamp holder, and a battery assembly that is detachably arranged in the lamp holder and supplies power to the lamp assembly. Both the ball liner and the outer layer need to be made of light-transmitting materials. This design uses a single light source to emit light, so more light-transmitting materials are needed, which increases the manufacturing cost. If light-transmitting materials are selected and spliced ​​with ordinary rubber, the process cost will increase, which not only increases the process difficulty but also makes the light emission uneven. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a luminous sphere which can solve the above problems.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical scheme: a luminous sphere, which comprises a sphere inner liner, a yarn wrapping layer and a protective layer which are sequentially distributed from the inside to the outside, and a plurality of ribs are arranged on the protective layer.

[0007] A light strip is also provided between the yarn wrapping layer and the protective layer, and the light strip is evenly wound around the outer surface of the yarn wrapping layer to form a light strip layer capable of emitting light;

[0008] The material of the protective layer is a light-transmitting material.

[0009] Compared with the previous technology, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] 1. The luminous sphere of the utility model has a strong luminous ability and is uniformly luminous, and is applicable to a wider range of scenarios. If the sphere is a rubber ball, the whole ball can be bright, and the whole ball is cooler. If it is a leather-covered ball, the ribs of the ball will glow, presenting another luminous effect.

[0011] 2. The manufacturing cost of the luminous sphere of the utility model is low, which reduces the process difficulty. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the protection content of the utility model is not limited to the following:

[0020] Embodiment 1: A luminous rubber basketball:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 The figure shows a luminous rubber basketball, which includes a ball liner 11, a yarn wrapping layer 12 and a protective layer 14 which are arranged from the inside to the outside. The protective layer 14 is provided with a plurality of ribs 141. The ribs on the protective layer 14 divide the periphery of the protective layer 14 into 8 areas, forming an 8-skin-shaped basketball.

[0022] A light strip is also provided between the yarn wrapping layer 12 and the protective layer 14, and the light strip is evenly wound around the outer surface of the yarn wrapping layer 12 to form a light strip layer 13 capable of emitting light;

[0023] The material of the protective layer 14 is a light-transmitting material;

[0024] Furthermore, the light strip is a flexible light strip, and its material can be a self-luminous material such as a fluorescent material, a reflective material, etc.

[0025] Of course, the light strip may also be an external power source light strip that emits light after being powered on, and the ball inner bladder 11 is provided with a power supply device 16 for supplying power to the light strip.

[0026] The protective layer 14 of the utility model is made of a light-transmitting material, and the light strip is used to emit light, so that the entire light-emitting sphere can emit light, making the ball more cool.

[0027] The power supply device 16 includes a sealing plug 161 and a power supply 162 which are integrally formed with the ball liner; the sealing plug 161 is provided with an inner cavity extending toward the center of the ball liner 11, and the power supply 162 is arranged in the inner cavity;

[0028] The light strip is electrically connected to a power source 162 .

[0029] Furthermore, the power source 162 may be a button battery, a dry cell battery, or a rechargeable battery.

[0030] When the power source 162 is a rechargeable battery, the cavity plug 163 may be provided with a charging port connected to the rechargeable battery, and a cover may be hingedly provided at the charging port. Because the provision of a charging port for a rechargeable battery and a cover hingedly provided at the charging port are common in many fields such as mobile phones and tablets, the utility model does not specifically embody a cavity plug 163 with a charging port and a cover.

[0031] A through hole for inserting the sealing plug 161 is opened in the ball bladder 11, the inner cavity of the sealing plug 161 is plugged with a high-temperature resistant mold, and then the sealing plug 161 and the ball bladder 11 are integrally formed through a vulcanization molding process. After that, the mold is removed to obtain a ball bladder 11 with good airtightness and a sealing plug 161.

[0032] The side wall of the sealing plug 161 is provided with a light strip groove 164 for accommodating the light strip to be embedded; the light strip groove 164 plays a role in fixing the light strip.

[0033] The light strip is electrically connected to the power source 162 via the light strip groove 164 .

[0034] A cavity opening plug 163 is also provided at the cavity opening of the sealing plug 161 .

[0035] Furthermore, the power source 162 can be fixed on the inner wall of the sealing plug 161 or be set at the end of the cavity plug 163.

[0036] The material of the protection layer 14 is transparent synthetic rubber or light-transmitting synthetic rubber.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer surface of the protective layer 14 is also provided with an anti-skid texture for increasing friction. This structure is relatively conventional and will not be described in detail.

[0038] The ribs 141 are recessed toward the center of the luminous sphere, and the edges of the ribs 141 transition smoothly with the protective layer 14 .

[0039] It should be noted that since the material of the protective layer 14 is a light-transmitting material, that is, it has a certain degree of transparency, the entire rubber basketball can present a glowing effect. The luminous rubber basketball is also provided with an air nozzle for inflation. Since it is a conventional design in the art to provide an air nozzle on the sphere, the specific position of the air nozzle is not shown in the attached drawings.

[0040] Example 2: A luminous leather basketball:

[0041] The basic structure of Example 2 is generally similar to that of Example 1, and the difference from Example 1 is that the sphere is a luminous leather basketball.

[0042] like Figures 4 to 6 The figure shows a luminous leather-covered basketball, wherein the ribs 141 on the protective layer 14 protrude outward from the outer surface of the protective layer 14;

[0043] A ball cover 15 is attached between every two adjacent ribs 141, and the edge of the rib 141 smoothly transitions to the edge of the ball cover 15. The ball cover 15 can better protect the ball.

[0044] Furthermore, the outer surface of the ball skin 15 is provided with an anti-skid texture for increasing friction. This structure is relatively conventional and will not be described in detail.

[0045] Because the ball cover 15 is attached between two adjacent ribs 141 , if the ball cover 15 is made of a non-light-transmitting material, the entire basketball can present a glowing effect at the ribs 141 .

[0046] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. The luminous sphere can also be any sphere except basketball, such as volleyball, rugby, football, etc.

[0047] Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model according to the technical solution and utility model concept of the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
