[0031] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 The training ball of this application is described in detail.
[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 3According to an embodiment of the present invention, a training ball includes a sphere 10 and a light-emitting module 20. The sphere 10 is made of a light-transmitting material and has a mounting groove 11. The light-emitting module 20 includes a housing 100, a controller, a power supply 200, and a light source 300. The housing 100 is detachably housed in the mounting groove 11, and a receiving cavity 101 is formed inside the housing 100. The receiving cavity 101 has a light outlet 102 facing the bottom of the mounting groove 11. The controller, the power supply 200, and the light source 300 are all located in the receiving cavity 101. The light source 300 is located adjacent to the light outlet 102. The controller, the power supply 200, and the light source 300 are connected in series. The controller is equipped with a vibration sensor, which can control the light source 300 to emit light when the vibration sensor detects vibration.
[0033] It is understandable that during the use of the training ball in this application, the training ball will vibrate during movement. After the vibration sensor on the controller detects the vibration, the controller can control the light source 300 to emit light. Since the light outlet 102 of the receiving cavity 101 is directly opposite the bottom of the mounting groove 11, the light emitted by the light source 300 can shine into the ball 10 through the light outlet 102. Since the ball 10 is made of light-transmitting material, after the light enters the ball 10, it is scattered inside the ball 10 and then emitted from the ball 10, making the entire ball 10 emit light. In the night environment, the user can observe the training ball of this application more clearly.
[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cavity 101 is provided with an annular groove 103, and the edge of the light source 300 passes through the annular groove 103.
[0035] It is understandable that after the light-emitting module 20 is installed in the mounting groove 11, the housing 100 will be subjected to pressure from the groove wall of the mounting groove 11. The setting of the annular groove 103, and the edge of the light source 300 passing through the annular groove 103, allows the load on the housing 100 to be evenly transferred to the light source 300 through the groove wall of the annular groove 103, thereby canceling each other out. While improving the load-bearing capacity of the light source 300, it also allows the light source 300 to share the load on the housing 100, thereby extending the service life of the light-emitting module 20.
[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The light outlet 102 is filled with 400g of transparent glue.
[0037] It is understandable that by filling the light outlet 102 with transparent adhesive 400, on the one hand, the transparent adhesive 400 can protect the light source 300, and on the other hand, after the transparent adhesive 400 is cured, it can support the light outlet 102. After the light-emitting module 20 is installed in the mounting groove 11, the deformation of the light outlet 102 caused by the compression of the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 can be reduced under the support of the transparent adhesive 400.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer shell 100 includes a first shell 110 and a second shell 120, which are detachably connected. The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 together define a receiving cavity 101, a light outlet 102, and an annular groove 103.
[0039] For example, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the outer shell 100 includes a first shell 110 and a second shell 120, which are distributed along the front-rear direction. The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are detachably connected, and a receiving cavity 101, a light outlet 102 and an annular groove 103 are formed between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120.
[0040] It is understandable that when assembling the light-emitting module 20, the operator can first install the light source 300, the power supply 200 and the control board on the second housing 120 or the first housing 110, and then detachably install the first housing 110 on the second housing 120, so that the power supply 200 and the control board can be confined within the receiving cavity 101, and the light source 300 can be confined within the annular groove 103.
[0041] It is understandable that by configuring the housing 100 as a form in which the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are detachably connected, it is possible to facilitate the installation and removal of the light source 300 within the annular groove 103.
[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, one of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is provided with a snap-fit hole 111, and the other is provided with a snap-fit protrusion 121, which snaps into the snap-fit hole 111.
[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first housing 110 is located in front of the second housing 120. The rear end of the first housing 110 is provided with four snap-fit holes 111, and the front end of the second housing 120 is provided with four snap-fit protrusions 121. When the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are assembled, the operator can insert the snap-fit protrusions 121 into the snap-fit holes 111 one by one to achieve the connection between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. When the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 need to be disassembled, the operator can disengage all the snap-fit protrusions 121 from the snap-fit holes 111 to achieve the separation between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.
[0044] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to... Figure 4 The snap-fit protrusion 121 is provided with a guide surface 121a.
[0045] It is understandable that when assembling the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the operator needs to insert the snap-fit protrusion 121 into the snap-fit hole 111. By providing a guide surface 121a on the snap-fit protrusion 121, the guide surface 121a can guide the snap-fit protrusion 121 into the snap-fit hole 111, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.
[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 2 to 4 The outer casing 100 also includes a battery cover 130. The first casing 110 is provided with a power installation port 112 that communicates with the receiving cavity 101. The battery cover 130 is detachably provided at the power installation port 112 and closes the power installation port 112.
[0047] Understandably, after the light-emitting module 20 has been used for a period of time, the user needs to replace the power supply 200 inside the light-emitting module 20. The user can remove the battery cover 130 from the first housing 110 to open the power installation port 112. Then, the user can replace the power supply 200 inside the receiving cavity 101 and reinstall the battery cover 130 back onto the first housing 110 after replacing the power supply 200 inside the receiving cavity 101.
[0048] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the inner sidewall of the power installation port 112 is provided with a plug-in groove, one end of the battery cover 130 is provided with a plug-in protrusion 131, the plug-in protrusion 131 is inserted into the plug-in groove, and the other end of the battery cover 130 is detachably connected to the edge of the power installation port 112 through a threaded connector.
[0049] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the battery cover 130 is provided with a plug-in protrusion 131, and the lower side wall of the power installation port 112 is provided with a plug-in groove.
[0050] When it is necessary to install the battery cover 130 on the first housing 110, the user can insert the insertion protrusion 131 of the battery cover 130 into the insertion slot. Then, the user can use the threaded connector to pass through the upper end of the battery cover 130 and make the threaded connector threadedly connected to the first housing 110. When it is necessary to remove the battery cover 130 from the first housing 110, the user can remove the threaded connector from the first housing 110 and the battery cover 130, and then remove the insertion protrusion 131 of the battery cover 130 from the insertion slot to remove the battery cover 130 from the first housing 110.
[0051] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the threaded connector extends into the second housing 120 and is threadedly connected to the second housing 120.
[0052] It is understandable that, since the threaded connector is threaded to both the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the threaded connector makes the connection between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 more secure and reliable.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 The power supply 200 includes a plurality of batteries 210 connected in series. The housing 100 is provided with a slot 132 that communicates with the receiving cavity 101. The slot 132 allows an insulating sheet to be inserted between two adjacent batteries 210 to block the electrical connection between the two adjacent batteries 210.
[0054] It should be noted that, since the controller is equipped with a vibration sensor, when the light-emitting module 20 is stored and transported, if the light-emitting module 20 is vibrated due to the influence of the external environment, the controller will control the light source 300 to emit light because the vibration sensor detects the vibration. This will undoubtedly waste the power of the power supply 200. Furthermore, the process of disassembling the power supply 200 inside the light-emitting module 20 is quite cumbersome for the staff.
[0055] In the training ball of this embodiment, when the light-emitting module 20 is stored and transported, the staff can insert the insulating sheet into the insert port 132 and insert the insulating sheet between two adjacent batteries 210 so that an open circuit is formed between the multiple batteries 210 connected in series. In this case, even if the vibration sensor on the controller detects vibration, the light source 300 will not emit light.
[0056] Understandably, staff can turn the light-emitting module 20 on or off simply by inserting or removing the insulating sheet from the insert port 132, making the entire operation process much simpler.
[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3A handle 104 is provided on the outer casing 100 at the end opposite to the light outlet 102.
[0058] It should be noted that, since the light-emitting module 20 is housed in the mounting slot 11, when the light-emitting module 20 is installed in the mounting slot 11, the user can push the light-emitting module 20 into the mounting slot 11; however, when removing the light-emitting module 20 from the mounting slot 11, the user finds it difficult to remove the light-emitting module 20 from the mounting slot 11 because the slot wall of the mounting slot 11 is in close contact with the outer shell 100 of the light-emitting module 20.
[0059] In the training ball of this embodiment, by providing a handle 104 at the end of the outer shell 100 away from the light outlet 102, when the light-emitting module 20 is taken out from the mounting slot 11, the user can use his hand or a tool to grasp the handle 104 to pull the entire light-emitting module 20 out of the mounting slot 11.
[0060] Understandably, the handle 104 is designed to make it easier for users to remove the light-emitting module 20 from the mounting slot 11.
[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The training ball also includes a rubber plug 30, which is detachably disposed in the mounting groove 11 and located on the side of the light-emitting module 20 near the opening of the mounting groove 11.
[0062] It should be noted that during the use of the training ball, the training ball will generate violent vibrations. Under such circumstances, the light-emitting module 20 is prone to falling off from the mounting slot 11.
[0063] It is understood that in the training ball of the embodiment, by providing a rubber plug 30 in the mounting groove 11 and the rubber plug 30 being located on the side of the light-emitting module 20 near the opening of the mounting groove 11, the rubber plug 30 can prevent the light-emitting module 20 from automatically detaching from the mounting groove 11, thereby improving the firmness of the light-emitting module 20 in the ball 10.
[0064] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
