Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baseball, and more particularly to a luminous baseball. Background Technology

[0002] Baseball is a ball sport in which players use bats to hit a ball in an offensive and defensive contest. A baseball ball is typically made with a round core of cork, rubber, or a similar material, wrapped with twine, and then tightly sewn together with two pieces of white horsehide or cowhide. Playing baseball in foggy weather, at dusk, at night, or other environments with poor visibility makes it difficult to observe the ball's trajectory, increasing the difficulty and hindering players from performing at their best. If the baseball falls into the grass or other hidden locations, it is difficult to find and may even be lost.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. 209019860U discloses a baseball for training, relating to the field of sports equipment technology. It solves the technical problem of difficulty in observing the ball's trajectory during movement, leading to poor training results. The key technical point is: a baseball for training includes a ball and stitching on the outer surface of the ball. The ball has parallel dividing surfaces on both sides of the bisecting plane of the stitching, and these dividing surfaces are parallel to and away from the bisecting plane of the stitching. This invention achieves the goal of magnifying the trajectory of the baseball during movement for players to observe, thus improving training effectiveness. When playing baseball in foggy weather, at dusk, at night, or other environments with poor visibility, it is difficult to observe the baseball's trajectory, especially during baseball player training. This increases the difficulty of playing baseball and makes it difficult to perform at one's true level. If the baseball falls into the grass or other hidden locations, it is difficult to find and may be lost. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a luminous baseball. It solves the technical problem of difficulty in observing the trajectory of the baseball and locating it in environments with poor visibility.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A luminous baseball includes a sphere made of a light-transmitting material. The sphere comprises a detachably connected first hemisphere and a second hemisphere, which are detachably connected by a fixing part. The sphere has a cavity inside. The first hemisphere has a first mounting groove within the cavity, on which a controller is mounted. The outer wall of the first hemisphere has a second mounting groove, which is connected to the first mounting groove. The second mounting groove has a USB charging port and a switch mounted thereon. The outer wall of the second mounting groove has a detachably mounted sealing cover that seals the USB charging port and the switch. The sealing cover is made of a soft material, allowing the user to press the cover to activate the switch. The sphere has a third mounting groove within the cavity, on which a battery is mounted. An LED light assembly is located within the cavity. The controller is connected to the USB charging port, the battery, the LED light assembly, and the switch.

[0007] Further:

[0008] The bottom of the sealing cover has a groove corresponding to the switch and a first protrusion corresponding to the USB charging interface.

[0009] The groove is also provided with a second protrusion corresponding to the switch.

[0010] The sealing cap is made of silicone or rubber.

[0011] The LED light assembly is fixed to the controller.

[0012] The second mounting slot is located at the top of the sphere, the first mounting slot is located directly below the second mounting slot, and the third mounting slot is located on the second hemisphere. The third mounting slot is vertically arranged, and the battery can extend into the first sphere. The inner wall of the first hemisphere is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the third mounting slot, and the battery can be inserted into the sliding groove.

[0013] The fixing part includes multiple pairs of inserts and slots provided on the first sphere and the second sphere.

[0014] The sphere is covered by a sleeve, and the sleeve has a notch corresponding to the sealing cap.

[0015] The ball sleeve includes a first piece and a second piece. The first piece has a first perforation around its periphery, and the second piece has a second perforation around its periphery. The first perforation and the second perforation are fixed together by a fixing line.

[0016] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention features a sphere that emits light, allowing for observation of the baseball's trajectory when playing baseball in low-visibility conditions by activating the LED light assembly. The baseball's location can be quickly identified when it lands in grass or other concealed areas. The sphere is divided into a first and second hemisphere, with nearly identical volume and weight, preventing deviation due to weight imbalance during impact. Damaged internal components can be easily replaced, reducing maintenance costs. The USB charging port charges the battery without requiring disassembly or replacement. Furthermore, the first protrusion at the bottom of the sealing cover protects the USB charging port from deformation. Both the first and second protrusions act as a buffer and protect the switch, while also providing a pressing function. The battery is positioned in the second hemisphere, balancing the weight of the controller, USB charging port, and switch in the first hemisphere, ensuring nearly identical weight for both hemispheres. This structure also helps secure the battery, preventing it from detaching during impact. Attached Figure Description
