[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments:

[0035] In general, in this embodiment of the utility model, the C-shaped structure includes: a C-shaped body 11 and a first extension 17 and a second extension 18 disposed opposite to each other on the C-shaped body 11. A locking hole 12 is provided on the outer surface of the C-shaped body 11 at the positions of the first extension 17 and the second extension 18. A C-shaped groove 13 is provided on the outer surface of the C-shaped body 11 at the position between the two locking holes 12. A protrusion 14 is provided inside the C-shaped groove 13. A pre-embedded sleeve hole 15 is provided on the protrusion 14, and a pre-embedded screw hole 16 is provided on the inner wall of the pre-embedded sleeve hole 15. The protrusion 14 and the C-shaped groove 13 are an integral structure design. The first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 are joined together perpendicularly and interlock to form a sphere during the joining process. The outer surfaces of the C-shaped body 11, the first extension 17, and the second extension 18 are spherically shaped, and the diameter of the sphere is the same as the radius of the sphere. The center of the C-shaped body 11, the center of the first extension 17, and the center of the second extension 18 are located on the same plane. The surface is a C-shaped symmetrical plane, and the upper and lower surfaces of the C-shaped body 11 are parallel to the C-shaped symmetrical plane; two first functional blocks 3 are respectively movably engaged in the two corresponding slots 12 of the first hemisphere 1, and two second functional blocks 4 are respectively movably engaged in the two corresponding slots 12 of the second hemisphere 2; the two first functional blocks 3 are set to white, and the two second functional blocks 4 are set to black; the materials of the two first functional blocks 3 and the two second functional blocks 4 are all functional modules made of plastic, aluminum alloy or wood; the magnetic suction component 5 includes a pre-embedded sleeve block 51, a magnetic body 52, and a pre-embedded screw 53, with the magnetic body 52 located at one end of the pre-embedded sleeve block 51; the pre-embedded screw 53 is located at the other end of the pre-embedded sleeve block 51; the pre-embedded screw 53 is threadedly connected to the pre-embedded screw hole 16; the pre-embedded sleeve block 51 and the magnetic body 52 are located in the pre-embedded sleeve hole 15; the magnetic body 52 on the first hemisphere 1 and the magnetic body 52 on the second hemisphere 2 have opposite magnetisms, and the two magnetic bodies attract each other.

[0036] In practical use, take out the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2, align the pre-embedded screw 53 with the corresponding pre-embedded screw hole 16, and rotate the pre-embedded screw 53 clockwise to make it threaded into the pre-embedded screw hole 16. Continue rotating until the pre-embedded sleeve block 51 and the magnetic suction body 52 are completely inserted into the pre-embedded sleeve hole 15, completing the pre-embedded installation of the magnetic suction assembly 5 of the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2. Align the two first functional blocks 3 with the two locking holes 12 on the outer surface of the first hemisphere 1 and press them firmly to lock them in place. Similarly, lock the two second functional blocks 4 into the corresponding locking holes 12 on the outer surface of the second hemisphere 2. Hold the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2, bring them close together and adjust their positions so that the protruding edge of the second hemisphere 2 is aligned with the first hemisphere 1. Align the C-shaped groove 13 of the first hemisphere 1, slowly push the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2, and when they approach a certain distance, the magnetic attractor 52 attracts each other due to magnetism, automatically adsorbing the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 together. At the same time, the protruding edge of the second hemisphere 2 is embedded in the C-shaped groove 13 of the first hemisphere 1, achieving seamless splicing and forming a complete Tai Chi ball. Holding the spliced ​​Tai Chi ball, the first functional block 3 and the second functional block 4 on the surface of the ball provide a good grip feel, which can be used for Tai Chi practice, playing or decorative display. If it is necessary to separate the Tai Chi ball, pull the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 apart along the direction perpendicular to the splicing surface to overcome the magnetic force of the magnetic attractor 52, and it can be disassembled into two hemispheres for easy storage or reinstallation.

[0037] More specifically, the manufacturing process of this utility model is as follows: Based on the target diameter of the Tai Chi ball, the length, width, and height of the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 are calculated using geometric formulas to ensure that the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 form a complete sphere after being spliced ​​together. According to design requirements, high-strength ABS plastic, aluminum alloy, or wood materials are selected and cut into component blanks of corresponding sizes. A milling machine is used in conjunction with a lathe center to fix the components. The components are milled along the semi-circular contour to remove excess material and form the basic shape of the C-shaped body. The milling cutter angle and path are adjusted to mill the splicing structure of the C-shaped groove 13 and the protrusion 14 in stages to ensure that the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 fit together seamlessly. A drill is used to drill the clasp hole 12, the pre-embedded sleeve hole 15, and the pre-embedded screw hole 16 at the designated positions for installing the first functional block 3, the second functional block 4, and the magnetic component 5.

[0038] In summary, the Tai Chi ball provided by this utility model embodiment has the following technical effects compared with the prior art: It adopts a magnetic combination design of a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere, achieving automatic splicing through pre-embedded magnetic components. Simultaneously, the fitting structure of the C-shaped groove and the raised edge ensures strong stability after splicing, significantly simplifying the assembly and disassembly process, making it easy to carry and store, and suitable for rapid use in various scenarios. Furthermore, the design of splicing the first and second hemispheres eliminates the reliance on a one-piece molding process. This method allows for material cutting according to the required sphere size, avoiding waste caused by unsuitable raw material dimensions, improving material utilization, and effectively reducing production costs.
