Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golf ball head technology, specifically a golf ball head with a shock-absorbing structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity and competitiveness of golf, more and more manufacturers are focusing on improving golf clubs and clubheads to give them better hitting performance, thus enabling them to hit the ball farther and more accurately. As one of the world's three famous gentleman's sports, golf enjoys a high level of enthusiasm in various countries.

[0003] The impact vibration of a golf club is a significant factor affecting hitting comfort and athlete performance. Traditional golf club heads are typically made of rigid materials (such as stainless steel and titanium alloys), which, while providing good strength and distance, generate significant vibration at impact and transmit it through the shaft to the athlete's arm. Long-term use may lead to fatigue or even sports injuries. To reduce vibration, honeycomb or porous structures are currently used to disperse the impact force, but these are complex to manufacture and may reduce the structural strength of the club head. Therefore, we propose a shock-absorbing structure for golf club heads. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a golf ball head with a shock-absorbing structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a golf ball head with a shock-absorbing structure, comprising a golf ball body, a mounting groove on the top of the golf ball body, and a hitting face cover fitted in the mounting groove, a cavity provided inside the golf ball body, and shock-absorbing mechanisms arranged at equal intervals inside the cavity, and air cavities arranged at equal intervals outside the cavity inside the golf ball body, and a micro-channel provided inside the golf ball body, the air cavities communicating with the interior of the cavity through the micro-channel.

[0006] Preferably, the shock-absorbing mechanism includes a mounting cylinder, a mounting base, and a micro damper. The mounting cylinder is integrally provided at equal intervals on one side of the golf ball body inside the cavity, and the mounting base is fixedly installed inside the mounting cylinder. The micro damper is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting base, and the end of the micro damper passes through the mounting cylinder. The hitting face is provided with a shock-absorbing rubber pad on one side of the golf ball body, and the micro damper is connected to the shock-absorbing rubber pad.

[0007] Preferably, a cushioning material is provided inside the cavity outside the mounting cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the shock-absorbing rubber pad is integrally provided with a buffer block at equal intervals on one side of the micro damper, and the end of the micro damper located outside the mounting cylinder is fixedly connected to the buffer block.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the striking surface cover has grooves at equal intervals.

[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the golf ball body is provided with micro-holes at equal intervals, and the micro-holes are in communication with the interior of the air cavity.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model uses a multi-level buffer + air damping method to efficiently absorb impact energy during impact, reducing the transmission of vibration to the shaft and the athlete's arm.

[0013] 2. When a golf ball hits the impact cover, the impact force first acts on the shock-absorbing rubber pad. The high elasticity of the rubber absorbs part of the energy. At the same time, the grooves on the impact cover can increase the local deformation capacity and further disperse the impact force. The impact force is transmitted to the buffer block through the shock-absorbing rubber pad and pushes the micro damper to contract. The micro damper, such as a hydraulic or spring damping structure, converts kinetic energy into heat energy, which greatly reduces the peak impact value.

[0014] 3. The buffer material filled in the cavity of this utility model, such as foamed polymer or silicone, can absorb vibrations that are not completely dissipated by the damper, further reducing energy transfer. Some of the impact energy enters the air cavity through microchannels. After the air is compressed, it is slowly released through micropores, forming a buffer effect similar to an "air cushion", prolonging the energy dissipation time and reducing high-frequency vibration.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a shock-absorbing golf ball head, including a golf ball body 1, a mounting groove on the top of the golf ball body 1, and a hitting face 2 installed in the mounting groove, a cavity 3 inside the golf ball body 1, and shock-absorbing mechanisms 13 equidistantly arranged inside the cavity 3, an air cavity 10 equidistantly arranged outside the cavity 3 inside the golf ball body 1, and a micro channel inside the golf ball body 1, the air cavity 10 communicating with the inside of the cavity 3 through the micro channel.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 The shock absorption mechanism 13 includes a mounting cylinder 4, a mounting seat 5, and a micro damper 6. The mounting cylinder 4 is integrally arranged at equal intervals on one side of the golf ball body 1 inside the cavity 3, and the mounting seat 5 is fixedly installed inside the mounting cylinder 4. The micro damper 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting seat 5, and the end of the micro damper 6 passes through the mounting cylinder 4. The hitting face 2 is provided with a shock-absorbing rubber pad 7 on one side of the golf ball body 1, and the micro damper 6 is connected to the shock-absorbing rubber pad 7.

[0022] It should be noted that this utility model uses a multi-stage buffering + air damping method to efficiently absorb impact energy during impact, reducing the transmission of vibration to the club shaft and the athlete's arm. When the golf ball hits the impact face 2, the impact force first acts on the shock-absorbing rubber pad 7. The high elasticity of the rubber absorbs part of the energy. At the same time, the groove 12 on the impact face 2 can increase the local deformation capacity and further disperse the impact force. The impact force is transmitted to the buffer block 9 through the shock-absorbing rubber pad 7 and pushes the micro damper 6 to contract. The micro damper 6 (such as a hydraulic or spring damping structure) converts kinetic energy into heat energy, significantly reducing the peak impact. The movement of the micro damper 6 is constrained by the mounting cylinder 4 to ensure stable energy absorption without affecting the overall rigidity of the ball head. The buffer material 8 (such as foamed polymer or silicone) filled in the cavity 3 can absorb the vibration that is not completely dissipated by the micro damper 6, further reducing energy transmission. Some of the impact energy enters the air cavity 10 through the micro channel. After the air is compressed, it is slowly released through the micropores 11, forming a buffering effect similar to an "air cushion", prolonging the energy dissipation time and reducing high-frequency vibration.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 A cushioning material 8 is provided inside the cavity 3 outside the mounting cylinder 4.

[0024] It should be noted that the buffer material 8 (such as foamed polymer or silicone) filling the cavity 3 can absorb vibrations that are not completely dissipated by the micro damper 6, further reducing energy transfer.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 The shock-absorbing rubber pad 7 is integrally provided with buffer blocks 9 at equal intervals on one side of the micro damper 6, and the end of the micro damper 6 located outside the mounting cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the buffer block 9.

[0026] It should be noted that when the golf ball hits the faceplate 2, the impact force first acts on the shock-absorbing rubber pad 7. The high elasticity of the rubber absorbs part of the energy. At the same time, the groove 12 on the faceplate 2 can increase the local deformation capacity and further disperse the impact force. The impact force is transmitted to the buffer block 9 through the shock-absorbing rubber pad 7 and pushes the micro damper 6 to contract. The micro damper 6 (such as a hydraulic or spring damping structure) converts kinetic energy into heat energy, which greatly reduces the peak impact. The movement of the micro damper 6 is constrained by the mounting cylinder 4 to ensure stable energy absorption without affecting the overall rigidity of the ball head.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 The top of the striking faceplate 2 has grooves 12 at equal intervals.

[0028] It should be noted that the groove 12 on the impact cover 2 can increase the local deformation capability and further disperse the impact force.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 Microholes 11 are equidistantly provided on the outer side of the golf ball body 1, and the microholes 11 are connected to the interior of the air cavity 10.

[0030] It should be noted that some of the impact energy after buffering can enter the air cavity 10 through the microchannel. After the air is compressed, it is slowly released through the micropores 11, forming a buffering effect similar to an "air cushion", which prolongs the energy dissipation time and reduces high-frequency vibration.
