[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golf training equipment, and in particular to a golf hitting mat. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, golf is no longer an unattainable sport for the elite, and more and more people are participating in it. Golf hitting mats are commonly used tools in golf practice to facilitate athletes' practice of hitting the ball, swinging, and other golf-related movements.

[0003] Existing golf hitting mats typically use a single piece of simulated turf made of rubber or plastic, divided into short and long grass areas, designed to help players simulate swing practice on different types of grass on a real golf course.

[0004] However, due to the diverse terrain of actual golf courses, including various landforms such as bunkers, traditional golf hitting mats can only simulate grass training scenarios, have relatively limited functions, and cannot provide players with a comprehensive training experience, thus affecting the players' user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a golf hitting mat to solve the problem that existing golf practice mats have limited functions and cannot simulate the real golf course environment.

[0006] The golf hitting mat provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] Short grass mats, which are installed on the base;

[0009] A long grass mat, which is installed on the base and located on one side of the short grass mat;

[0010] A sandpit mat is installed on the base, and the sandpit mat is located on the side of the long grass mat away from the short grass mat; the sandpit mat includes multiple sets of friction components and support components, the multiple sets of friction components and the support components are alternately arranged in a first direction, and the height of the support components in the thickness direction of the base is less than the height of the friction components;

[0011] The support assembly includes multiple support columns, which are arranged at intervals in a second direction. The friction assembly includes multiple friction columns, which are arranged at intervals in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0012] In one embodiment, the friction column includes a plurality of friction wires extending in a direction away from the substrate. The friction wires are elastic, such that when the friction wires are subjected to force, one end of the friction wire away from the substrate can bend relative to the other end.

[0013] In one embodiment, the support post includes a plurality of rigid support wires, one end of which is connected to the substrate and the other end of which extends in a direction away from the substrate to abut against at least a portion of the surface of the golf ball.

[0014] In one embodiment, the height difference between the friction component and the support component is greater than or equal to 7 mm and less than or equal to 29 mm.

[0015] In one embodiment, the top of the base is provided with three receiving slots, and the short grass mat, the long grass mat and the sandpit mat are respectively installed in the three receiving slots.

[0016] In one embodiment, the substrate includes an adhesive layer to which the short grass mat, the long grass mat, and the sandpit mat are adhered.

[0017] In one embodiment, the base includes an outer peripheral surface surrounding its top, and a handle is provided on the outer peripheral surface.

[0018] In one embodiment, the bottom of the substrate has a hollow structure, the hollow structure including a plurality of groove groups, the plurality of groove groups being arranged at intervals in the first direction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the short grass mat includes multiple first grass filaments inserted into the base, the first grass filaments being curled; and / or, the long grass mat includes multiple second grass filaments and third grass filaments, the multiple second grass filaments and the third grass filaments being evenly inserted into the base, the second grass filaments being upright, and the third grass filaments being curled.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the golf hitting mat provided by this utility model are as follows: the golf hitting mat of this application has richer training functions. It can not only simulate practicing swings on grass and in bunkers, but also more effectively help players improve their swing skills in different scenarios, and can also realistically reproduce the resistance when swinging in a bunker.

[0023] Specifically, short and long grass mats simulate different types of grass swings, while bunker mats simulate bunker swings, providing players with more diverse training scenarios. Furthermore, the bunker mat includes support and friction components; the support components are shorter than the friction components, allowing the golf ball to sink into the gap created by the height difference. Multiple support pillars support the golf ball, while multiple friction components surround it, thus more realistically simulating the concave feeling of a golf ball in a bunker. In addition, both the friction and support components provide friction to the golf ball during the swing, making the feedback and resistance of the swing more consistent with the feeling of a swing in a real bunker environment. Therefore, this golf hitting mat is not only multifunctional but also recreates a more realistic course environment, providing players with a more comprehensive training experience.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] This utility model embodiment provides a golf hitting mat 1000 for simulating a golf course. For example... Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, the golf hitting mat 1000 includes a base 10, a short grass mat 20, a long grass mat 30, and a bunker mat 40; the short grass mat 20 is mounted on the base 10; the long grass mat 30 is mounted on the base 10 and located on one side of the short grass mat 20; the bunker mat 40 is mounted on the base 10 and located on the side of the long grass mat 30 away from the short grass mat 20; the bunker mat 40 includes multiple sets of friction components 41 and support components 42, the multiple sets of friction components 41 and support components 42 being connected in a first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The support components 42 are alternately arranged on the X-direction (as shown in the figure), and the thickness of the base 10 is (as shown in the figure). Figure 1 The height of the friction assembly 41 in the Z direction (as shown in the diagram) is less than the height of the friction component 41; wherein, the support assembly 42 includes a plurality of support columns 421, the plurality of support columns 421 being spaced apart in the second direction, and the friction assembly 41 includes a plurality of friction columns 411, the plurality of friction columns 411 being spaced apart in the second direction (as shown in the diagram). Figure 1The golf hitting mat 1000 is arranged at intervals along the Y-direction (as shown in the diagram), with the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. This application solves the problem that traditional golf hitting mats 1000 can only simulate grass swings and cannot provide diverse practice scenarios. The golf hitting mat 1000 has richer training functions. It can not only simulate grass and bunker swings, but also more effectively help players improve their swing skills in different scenarios, and can also realistically reproduce the resistance when swinging from a bunker.

[0043] Specifically, the short grass mat 20 and long grass mat 30 can simulate different types of grass swings, while the bunker mat 40 can simulate a bunker swing, thus providing players with more diverse training scenarios. Furthermore, the bunker mat 40 includes a support component 42 and a friction component 41. The height of the support component 42 is less than the height of the friction component 41, allowing the golf ball to sink into the gap created by the height difference. Multiple support pillars 421 jointly support the golf ball, while multiple friction components 41 surround the golf ball, thus the bunker mat 40 can more realistically simulate the concave feeling of a golf ball placed in a bunker. In addition, when the player swings, both the friction component 41 and the support component 42 provide friction to the golf ball, making the feedback and resistance of the swing more consistent with the feeling of a swing in a real bunker environment. Therefore, this golf hitting mat 1000 is not only feature-rich but also recreates a more realistic golf course environment, providing players with a more comprehensive training experience.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the friction column 411 includes multiple friction wires 4111 extending in a direction away from the base 10. The friction wires 4111 are elastic, allowing one end of each wire away from the base 10 to bend relative to the other end when subjected to force. This arrangement is advantageous because the sand in the bunker is composed of many small particles, and the friction between these particles affects the movement of the golf ball in the bunker. By using multiple friction wires 4111, the particle characteristics of sand can be better simulated, and the combined action of multiple friction wires 4111 on the golf ball results in greater frictional resistance, making the simulation closer to real-world scenarios. Furthermore, because the ends of the friction wires 4111 away from the base 10 tend to bend, the golf ball, when placed on the bunker mat 40, can more quickly pass through the bent portions of these friction wires 4111 and enter the gap created by the height difference between them. This design allows players to perform repetitive practice more efficiently, saving time and improving training efficiency. Specifically, the array of multiple friction wires 4111 can be a circular array or a square array, etc.

[0045] Furthermore, the friction wire 4111 is made of nylon. Specifically, the friction wire 4111 is a nylon filament. Nylon material has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to return to its original shape after being subjected to force. This elastic recovery characteristic allows the friction wire 4111 to quickly recover after the player's swing, maintaining the original shape and performance of the bunker mat 40, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the simulated environment. Preferably, the friction wire 4111 is made of nylon double 6 material.

[0046] In one embodiment, the number of friction wires 4111 is greater than or equal to 150 and less than or equal to 250. By controlling the number of friction wires 4111, the contact between the friction wires 4111 and the golf ball surface can be made more uniform, simulating the effect of multiple sand particles on the golf ball in a bunker, thus better recreating the bunker environment. Specifically, the number of friction wires 4111 is 200.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, the support column 421 includes multiple rigid support wires (not shown in the figure). One end of each rigid support wire is connected to the base 10, and the other end extends away from the base 10 to support at least a portion of the golf ball's surface. In this way, the rigid support wires can better provide support for the golf ball, preventing excessive sagging and affecting training results. Furthermore, the multiple support wires contacting the golf ball's surface more realistically replicates the contact between sand and the golf ball, providing players with a training experience closer to a real golf course setting.

[0048] In one embodiment, the height difference between the friction component 41 and the support component 42 is greater than or equal to 7 mm and less than or equal to 29 mm. Thus, by controlling the height difference between the friction component 41 and the support component 42 to meet the preset requirements, the indentation effect of a golf ball in a bunker can be effectively simulated.

[0049] In one embodiment, the height of the friction component 41 is greater than or equal to 40 mm and less than or equal to 46 mm. This height is well-suited for a standard 42.6 mm diameter golf ball, ensuring sufficient contact surface between the golf ball and the friction component 41, providing a more stable and realistic simulation environment, and helping players better practice their hitting skills in bunker situations. For example, the height of the friction component 41 is 43 mm.

[0050] Preferably, the height difference between the friction component 41 and the support component 42 is greater than or equal to 17 mm and less than or equal to 29 mm. This simulates the scenario where only a small portion of the golf ball's surface sinks into a bunker. Specifically, the height of the friction component 41 is 43 mm, and the height of the support component 42 is 30 mm.

[0051] In another preferred embodiment, the height difference between the friction component 41 and the support component 42 is greater than or equal to 7 mm and less than or equal to 19 mm. This simulates the effect that most of the surface of a golf ball is sunk into a bunker. Specifically, the height of the friction component 41 is 43 mm, and the height of the support component 42 is 20 mm.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the top of the base 10 is provided with three receiving slots 11, in which the short grass mat 20, long grass mat 30, and sandpit mat 40 are respectively installed. Thus, the receiving slots 11 can limit the positioning of the short grass mat 20, long grass mat 30, and sandpit mat 40, facilitating their installation and engagement with the base 10. Furthermore, by increasing the contact area between the base 10 and the three mats, the connection becomes more secure and reliable.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the base 10 includes an adhesive layer 12, to which short grass mats 20, long grass mats 30, and bunker mats 40 are adhered. This arrangement allows the short grass mats 20, long grass mats 30, and bunker mats 40 to be bonded to the base 10 via an implantation method, making manufacturing easier. Furthermore, the adhesive layer 12 ensures that the three mats are not easily detached from the base 10, thus improving the durability of the golf hitting mat 1000.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the base 10 includes an outer peripheral surface 13 surrounding its top, on which a handle 131 is provided. Thus, the handle 131 facilitates gripping and carrying by the player, improving the portability of the golf hitting mat 1000.

[0055] In one embodiment, the handle 131 is integrally formed with the base 10. This reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly process.

[0056] The handle 131 and the base 10 can be made of hard rubber. Hard rubber provides better stability and ensures that the golf mat will not move during use. Hard rubber is also more durable and can withstand long-term use and repeated shots without being easily damaged, which can extend the life of the golf mat and reduce the frequency of replacement and maintenance.

[0057] In one embodiment, the length and width of the base 10 are both less than or equal to 600 mm. This controls the size of the base 10, making it easy for players to carry.

[0058] Reference Figure 7In one embodiment, the bottom of the base 10 has a hollow structure 14, which includes a plurality of groove groups 141 arranged at intervals in a first direction. This ensures the strength of the base 10 while reducing its weight, making it easier for players to carry. Specifically, the groove group 141 includes a plurality of grooves 1411 arranged at intervals in a second direction. The grooves 1411 can be of any shape and are not limited herein. For example, in this application, the grooves 1411 are square in shape.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 13 of the base 10 has an arc-shaped surface 132 at its edge. This arc-shaped surface 132 effectively prevents the club from contacting the base during a player's swing, thus reducing potential collision damage. Furthermore, the arc-shaped surface 132 also prevents scratches to the player.

[0060] Reference Figure 8 In one embodiment, the short grass mat 20 includes multiple first grass filaments 21, which are inserted into the base 10 and are curled. Similarly, the long grass mat 30 includes multiple second grass filaments 31 and third grass filaments 32, which are evenly inserted into the base 10. The second grass filaments 31 are upright, and the third grass filaments 32 are curled. The curled grass filaments have better softness and abrasion resistance, while the upright grass filaments have higher uprightness and resilience. Therefore, the short grass mat 20 is suitable for players to simulate driving and chipping, while the long grass mat 30, with its two different types of grass filaments, is more suitable for players to practice chipping. This helps players improve their golf skills more comprehensively. Specifically, the first grass filaments 21, second grass filaments 31, and third grass filaments 32 can all be made of nylon.

[0061] Furthermore, the height of the short grass mat 20 is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm, and the height of the long grass mat 30 is greater than or equal to 24 mm and less than or equal to 30 mm.

[0062] In one embodiment, in the first direction, the width ratio of the shallow grass mat, the long grass mat 30, and the sandpit mat 40 is 1:1:1. This ensures that each practice area has equal space, allowing players to practice in a balanced manner across different types of scenarios.

[0063] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the base 10 has a receiving groove 15 at its bottom, and an insertion hole 151 is provided through the bottom of the receiving groove 15. The golf hitting mat 1000 also includes a ball seat 50, which includes a seat body 51 and a support rod 52. The seat body 51 is housed in the receiving groove 15, and one end of the support rod 52 is connected to the seat body 51, while the other end passes through the insertion hole 151. Thus, the end of the support rod 52 protruding from the base 10 is used to place and support the golf ball. The receiving groove 15 and the seat body 51 cooperate to improve the connection stability between the ball seat 50 and the base 10. The use of the ball seat 50 can help players control the height of the golf ball, making it easier to hit the ball during the swing, making the swing more convenient and accurate, and allowing players to practice powerful drives.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that by implementing the above embodiments, the ball seat 50 and the base 10 are plug-and-play, enabling quick installation and disassembly, saving time and improving the training efficiency of players.

[0065] The ball seat 50 can be made of plastic or wood, ensuring its structural strength while reducing wear on the hitting pad.

[0066] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
