Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a sports equipment, and more particularly to a baseball bat. Background Technology
[0002] Most baseball bats on the market today are made of one-piece molded wood or metal, or the shaft and handle are made of different materials and then glued together with resin. In order to improve the feel of hitting the ball, some manufacturers use baseball bats disclosed in patent document CN2843550Y, which fill the cavity inside the baseball bat with fillers such as PU material, glass material or wood material. The filler inside the cavity is used to balance the weight of the baseball bat. However, the filler inside the bat with this structure makes the overall weight of the bat heavier, which makes its hitting feel worse. Moreover, when the player hits the baseball, the vibration of the baseball bat is transmitted to the player's hand along the handle. After hitting the ball for a long time, the player will experience numbness and discomfort in the hand, making it difficult to hold the bat for a long time, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a baseball bat with a good hitting feel.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A baseball bat with a good hitting feel includes a baseball shaft, which has a handle and a hitting section. The hitting section has a hollow cavity inside, and a damping ring is disposed within the cavity. The sidewall of the damping ring abuts against the inner wall of the cavity and is fixed in place by adhesive. The damping ring has an energy-absorbing groove along its circumference. After the damping ring is assembled with the baseball shaft, a buffer cavity for energy absorption and vibration reduction is formed between the sidewall of the cavity and the energy-absorbing groove. The buffer cavity can play a role in vibration reduction. When the damping ring is glued to the cavity, the formed buffer cavity is closed. When the batting section hits the baseball, the sidewall of the baseball shaft undergoes a slight deformation. The air in the buffer cavity is compressed, generating a reaction force that compresses the sidewall of the baseball shaft, causing it to quickly return to its original shape, thus reducing the deformation of the baseball shaft caused by vibration.
[0006] The damping ring is a centrally connected annular structure, and the energy-absorbing grooves are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the damping ring in the horizontal direction. When the athlete hits the ball, the kinetic energy of the baseball is transmitted to the hitting part after the hitting part hits the baseball. The energy is absorbed by the buffer cavity formed between the energy-absorbing groove on the hitting part and the side wall of the receiving cavity, thereby reducing the vibration of the bat when hitting the ball and improving the feel of the bat when hitting the ball. Multiple energy-absorbing grooves can be arranged along the axial direction of the damping ring to form multiple buffer cavities, so that the buffer cavities cover the hitting part. No matter which part of the hitting part the athlete uses to hit the ball, the hitting part can hit one or more buffer cavities, thereby further improving the feel of the ball when hitting the ball and improving the overall user experience of the bat.
[0007] The upper end of the baseball bat is open to form an opening, and the shock-absorbing ring is inserted into the receiving cavity through the opening.
[0008] The opening is also fitted with a top cover that seals the accommodating cavity. The edge of the top cover is provided with a stop step, and the top surface of the baseball bat abuts against the stop step.
[0009] The baseball bat includes a grip and a batting rod, with both ends of the batting rod being through-holes. The grip enters from the upper end of the batting rod and exits from the lower end, with the upper part of the grip being glued to the lower end of the batting rod.
[0010] The damping ring is disposed inside the striking rod.
[0011] The end of the handheld part is threaded with an anti-slip cover, and the lower end of the anti-slip cover extends outward with an anti-slip step.
[0012] The striking part of the baseball bat is composed of an outer glass fiber layer and an inner carbon fiber layer, which are bonded together. The handle is made of multiple layers of glass fiber stacked and bonded together.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a damping ring inside the hitting part of the baseball bat, and provides an energy-absorbing groove on the damping ring. A buffer cavity is formed between the energy-absorbing groove and the side wall of the receiving cavity. When the athlete hits the ball, after the hitting part hits the baseball, the kinetic energy on the baseball is transmitted to the hitting part, and the kinetic energy transmitted to the baseball bat is absorbed by the buffer cavity formed between the energy-absorbing groove on the hitting part and the side wall of the receiving cavity, thereby reducing the vibration of the bat when hitting the ball and improving the feel of hitting the ball.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0024] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 8 Example 1: A baseball bat with good hitting feel includes a baseball bat 1, which has a hand grip 10 and a hitting part 11. The hitting part 11 has a hollow receiving cavity 110 inside. A damping ring 2 is provided in the receiving cavity 110. The side wall of the damping ring 2 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 110 and is fixed in the receiving cavity 110 by adhesive. The damping ring 2 has an energy absorption groove 20 along its circumference. After the damping ring 2 is assembled with the baseball bat 1, a buffer cavity for energy absorption and vibration reduction is formed between the side wall of the receiving cavity 110 and the energy absorption groove 20.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the baseball bat is a one-piece structure. A damping ring made of carbon fiber or lightweight metal is installed in the cavity inside the baseball bat. The lightweight metal can be a relatively lightweight metal material such as aluminum. The buffer cavity can play a role in damping vibration. The damping ring is bonded and connected in the cavity, and the buffer cavity is closed. When the ball is hit, the hitting part hits the baseball. At this time, the side wall of the baseball bat undergoes a slight deformation. The air in the buffer cavity is compressed and generates a reaction force, which compresses the side wall of the baseball bat and makes it quickly return to its original shape, reducing the deformation of the baseball bat caused by vibration and achieving a damping effect.
[0027] In this embodiment, the damping ring is glued and fixed inside the hollow cavity, with its sidewalls tightly abutting to form a rigid support, effectively transmitting the impact force of the shot. The circumferential energy-absorbing grooves and the sidewalls of the cavity form a buffer chamber, absorbing the vibration generated by the shot through air compression and metal deformation. Furthermore, the damping ring is designed as a ring with a through-hole at the center to maintain a balanced weight distribution and minimize the increase in the weight of the baseball bat. The horizontally symmetrical energy-absorbing grooves ensure consistent damping in all directions. When the athlete hits the ball, the kinetic energy of the baseball is transmitted to the hitting part, and the buffer chamber formed between the energy-absorbing grooves on the hitting part and the sidewalls of the cavity absorbs the kinetic energy transmitted to the baseball bat, reducing the vibration of the bat when hitting the ball and improving the feel of the bat when hitting the ball.
[0028] In Example 2, the baseball bat 1 includes a grip 13 and a batting rod 14. The batting rod 14 is open at both ends. The grip 13 enters from the upper end of the batting rod 14 and exits from the lower end. The upper part of the grip 13 is fixed to the lower end of the batting rod 14 by adhesive. The damping ring 2 is disposed inside the batting rod 14. The batting rod 14 has a hollow receiving cavity 110 inside. The receiving cavity 110 contains the damping ring 2. The sidewall of the damping ring 2 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 110 and is fixed to the receiving cavity 110 by adhesive. The damping ring 2 has an energy-absorbing groove 20 arranged circumferentially. After the damping ring 2 is assembled with the baseball bat 1, a buffer cavity for energy absorption and vibration damping is formed between the sidewall of the receiving cavity 110 and the energy-absorbing groove 20.
[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the baseball bat adopts a split structure, consisting of two parts: a grip and a batting shaft. This split grip and batting shaft are assembled by inserting into each other, allowing for different combinations of grip or batting shaft according to the athlete's preferences, making the baseball bat more versatile.
[0030] The damping ring 2 is a ring structure with a central through-hole, and the energy-absorbing groove 20 is symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the horizontal direction of the damping ring 2; the upper end of the baseball bat 1 is open to form an opening 12, and the damping ring 2 is inserted into the receiving cavity 110 through the opening 12; during production, glue is applied to the outer wall of the damping ring, and then it is inserted into the receiving cavity through the opening at the upper end of the baseball bat. After the glue cures, the assembly of the damping ring and the baseball bat is completed.
[0031] As shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual, an energy-absorbing groove is provided in the center of the damping ring, so that the kinetic energy transmitted on the hitting part can be conducted to the upper and lower sides of the damping ring through the energy-absorbing groove, thereby reducing the vibration when hitting the ball. Multiple energy-absorbing grooves can be arranged along the axial direction of the damping ring to form multiple buffer chambers, so that the buffer chambers cover the hitting part. No matter which part of the hitting part the athlete uses to hit the ball, the hitting part can hit one or more buffer chambers, thereby further improving the feel of hitting the ball and improving the overall user experience of the bat.
[0032] An upper cover 3 is also installed at the opening 12 to close the accommodating cavity 110. The edge of the upper cover 3 is provided with a stop step, and the top surface of the baseball bat 1 abuts against the stop step.
[0033] The end of the handgrip 10 is threaded with an anti-slip cover 4, and the lower end of the anti-slip cover 4 extends outward with an anti-slip step 40. The anti-slip cover at the end of the handgrip can provide a grip positioning reference, and the outwardly expanding anti-slip step effectively prevents the stick from slipping out of the hand.
[0034] The striking part 11 of the baseball bat is composed of an outer glass fiber layer and an inner carbon fiber layer, which are bonded together. The handle part 10 is formed by bonding multiple layers of glass fiber. In addition to bonding the outer glass fiber layer and the inner carbon fiber layer to form the striking part, the striking part can also be formed by bonding a carbon fiber layer on the outside and a glass fiber layer on the inside, or by using other combinations such as sandwiching a glass fiber layer between two carbon fiber layers or sandwiching a carbon fiber layer between two glass fiber layers. Similarly, the material of the handle part can also be a combination of glass fiber layers or carbon fiber layers in various arrangements, or a single material can be used to form the handle part by bonding multiple layers together.
