[0002] Golf is loved by many people and is one of the world's three recognized gentlemanly sports. To meet the needs of golf practice, it is usually necessary to build artificial putting greens indoors or outdoors. Artificial putting greens are designed according to the principles of bionics to simulate the structure of natural putting greens as much as possible. However, current artificial putting greens usually only have some simple slope shapes and cannot realistically imitate the diverse terrain forms of uphill and downhill on real golf putting greens. As a result, the golf skills of golf enthusiasts cannot be well exercised, and the user experience is poor.
[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides an airbag module for an artificial putting green, including an airbag group 10 and an inflation device 20. The inflation device 20 is used to inflate and deflate the airbag group 10. After the airbag group 10 is inflated, different heights are formed to simulate different undulating slope structures of a golf course.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the airbag group 10 includes at least two mutually independent airbags 11, and the cross-section of the airbag is generally blade-shaped. Specifically, the opposite sides of the airbag 11 are respectively a straight edge 101 and an arc edge 102. The straight edge 101 and the arc edge 102 are connected at one end of the airbag 11 to form a tip structure, and the straight edge 101 and the arc edge 102 are connected by a connecting edge 103 at the other end of the airbag 11. The straight edge 101 and the connecting edge 103 are substantially perpendicular, so that the airbag 11 has a blade-shaped structure. Setting the airbag 11 to a specific blade shape can simulate a more realistic golf course terrain when the airbag is inflated.
[0030] In this embodiment, the projections of two mutually independent airbags 11 on the horizontal plane have an overlapping area. Specifically, the two airbags 11 may have an overlapping area in the x-axis direction, or the two airbags 11 have an overlapping area in the y-axis direction. Wherein, the x-axis direction is the width direction of the airbag 11, the y-axis direction is the length direction of the airbag 11, and the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0031] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the two airbags 11 may also have an overlapping area on the x-axis and an overlapping area on the y-axis at the same time.
[0032] By arranging partial regions of the two airbags 11 to overlap with each other, after inflation, the height of the overlapping region is relatively high, and the height of the non-overlapping regions is relatively low, thereby forming a wavy slope surface.
[0033] Furthermore, in one embodiment, two independent airbags 11 are defined as an airbag pair, and the airbag group 10 includes a first airbag pair 110 and a second airbag pair 120.
[0034] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the airbag length of the first airbag pair 110 is greater than that of the second airbag pair 120, and the airbag width of the first airbag pair 110 is less than that of the second airbag pair. With this arrangement, the airbags of the first airbag pair 110 are relatively narrow and long, and the airbags of the second airbag pair 120 are relatively wide and short, which can better simulate different terrains.
[0035] It should be noted that in other embodiments, both the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 can be provided in multiple groups, and the specifications and sizes of different airbag pairs can be the same or different.
[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the overlapping manner of the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 in the x-axis direction is the same. Hereinafter, the first airbag pair 110 will be taken as an example for description. The first airbag pair 110 has airbags 111 and 112, and the airbags 111 and 112 are arranged in a substantially mirror-symmetrical manner. The sides of the two airbags 111 and 112 close to the straight edge 101 are away from each other, and the sides close to the arc edge 102 are close to each other. The airbags 111 and 112 form an overlapping region A1 along the x-axis direction on the side close to the arc edge 102.
[0037] Similarly, the second airbag pair 120 has airbags 121 and 122, and the airbags 121 and 122 form an overlapping region A2 in the x-axis direction. By arranging the two airbags in a mirror image and forming an overlap on the side of the arc edge, a more variable slope is formed after inflation, which is closer to the structure of a real natural putting green.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 4 , furthermore, in the first airbag pair 110 / the second airbag pair 120, the connecting edges 103 of the two airbags are arranged flush. The overlapping width of the two airbags in the x-axis direction is 1 / 10 to 1 / 3 of the maximum width of the airbag. Taking the first airbag pair 110 as an example, the overlapping width of the airbags 111 and 112 in the x-axis direction is D 0 , the maximum width of the airbags 111 and 112 is D 1 , D 0 is 1 / 10 to 1 / 3 of D 1 . For example, D 0 can be 1 / 10 to 1 / 3 of D 11 / 10, 1 / 5, 1 / 3, etc. By adjusting the size of the overlapping area, the simulated terrain can be better controlled to meet different practice needs.
[0039] It should be noted that the overlapping widths of the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 in the x-axis direction may be the same or different, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific limitation.
[0040] Furthermore, along the y-axis direction, the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 have an overlapping area. Specifically, the airbag 111 and the airbag 121 form an overlapping area B1 along the y-axis direction, and the airbag 121 and the airbag 122 form an overlapping area B2 along the y-axis direction. Furthermore, the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 have the same orientation in the y-axis direction, that is, the tip structures of the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 face the same side. The side of the first airbag pair 110 close to the tip structure and the side of the second airbag pair 120 close to the connecting edge form an overlapping area.
[0041] By making the two airbag pairs 110 and 120 overlap in the y-axis direction, the variability of the slope structure is further improved, a variety of slope states are formed, and different golf course terrains are constructed, which is more conducive to golf practice and enhances the interest of users.
[0042] Further, in one embodiment, the straight edges of the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 are substantially flush, and the overlapping length of the first airbag pair 110 and the second airbag pair 120 is L 0 , the length of the second airbag pair is L 1 ,L 0 is L 1 1 / 3 to 2 / 3. For example, L 0 is L 1 1 / 3, 1 / 2, 2 / 3, etc. By adjusting the size of the overlapping area, the simulated terrain can be better controlled to meet different practice needs.
[0043] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in the airbag group 10, the plurality of airbags 11 are arranged in pairs overlapping each other. For example, the airbag 111 is arranged in pairs overlapping each other with the airbag 121 and the airbag 112, and the airbag 112 is arranged in pairs overlapping each other with the airbag 111 and the airbag 122. By arranging in pairs overlapping each other, a complex and varied slope structure is created.
[0044] Furthermore, the inflation device 20 includes an inflation pump 21 and a plurality of independent air guide tubes 22; wherein each airbag 11 is connected to the inflation pump 21 via an independent air guide tube 22. By connecting the independent air guide tubes 22 to each airbag 11, the independent inflation and deflation control of each airbag 11 is realized, which is more conducive to adjusting the shape of the airbag group 10.
[0045] Further, in one embodiment, the air duct 22 and the air pump 21 are detachably connected. Specifically, one end of the air duct 22 communicates with the airbag 11, and the other end is connected with a connector head, and the connector head is inserted into the air pump 21 to realize the detachable connection between the air duct 22 and the air pump 21.
