[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golf club technology, and in particular to a golf ball head and a golf club. Background Technology

[0002] The golf ball head is one of the core components of a golf club, and its design directly affects hitting performance, including distance, direction, stability, and feel. Traditional golf ball heads are usually made of metal materials (such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, or composite materials), and their hitting performance is improved through structural optimization (such as center of gravity distribution, face thickness, and aerodynamic design). However, the improvement in hitting performance is limited. To further improve the hitting performance of golf ball heads, there is an urgent need to research a golf ball head and golf club that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model sets the thickness of the striking panel to gradually decrease from the center area to the periphery. This ensures that the center area of ​​the striking panel has sufficient striking power, while the periphery, being thinner, provides rebound force to the golf ball upon impact. This ensures that the golf ball struck by the striking panel has a greater hitting distance, thereby improving the hitting effect of the golf head, enhancing the user experience, and increasing the product's market competitiveness.

[0004] This utility model provides a golf ball head, including a crown, a base, and a striking face;

[0010] When the crown portion is provided with the rib structure, the first end of the rib structure is located near the striking panel, and the second end of the rib structure is located near the bottom.

[0011] When the rib structure is provided at the bottom, the first end of the rib structure is located near the striking panel, and the second end of the rib structure is located near the crown.

[0012] Furthermore, along the direction from the first end to the second end of the rib structure, the spacing between the plurality of rib structures gradually decreases.

[0013] Furthermore, the central area of ​​the striking surface of the striking panel is provided with a textured structure, and the surface roughness of the textured structure is 1μm-10μm.

[0014] Furthermore, the texture structure includes at least one of microgrooves, laser-etched patterns, or sandblasted surfaces.

[0029] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0031] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention sets the thickness of the striking panel to gradually decrease from the center area to the periphery. This ensures that the center area of ​​the striking panel has sufficient striking power, while the thinner periphery provides rebound force to the golf ball upon impact. This ensures that the golf ball struck by the striking panel has a greater hitting distance, thereby improving the hitting effect of the golf head, enhancing the user experience, and increasing the product's market competitiveness.

[0032] See appendix Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a golf ball head and golf club, including a crown 1, a base 2, and a striking face 3. The crown 1 and the base 2 are connected to form a mounting notch 6 for mounting the striking face 3. The striking face 3 is mounted on the mounting notch 6. The thickness of the striking face 3 gradually decreases from the center area to the periphery, and the thickness of the striking face 3 is 2mm-3mm. By setting the thickness of the striking face 3 to gradually decrease from the center area to the periphery, this invention ensures that the center area of ​​the striking face 3 has sufficient striking power, while the periphery, being thinner, provides rebound force to the golf ball upon impact. This ensures that the golf ball hit by the striking face 3 has a longer hitting distance, thereby improving the hitting effect of the golf ball head, enhancing the user experience, and increasing the product's market competitiveness.

[0033] It is understandable that this embodiment, by optimizing the relevant structure of the striking panel 3, can improve the rebound force of the striking panel 3 on the golf ball and increase the striking distance of the striking panel 3 while ensuring the striking strength of the striking panel 3. At the same time, by gradually varying the thickness of the striking panel 3, the flatness of the striking surface can be ensured, further improving the striking effect of the striking panel 3. More importantly, setting the thickness of the striking panel 3 to 2mm-3mm can avoid a small thickness difference between the central area and the peripheral area of ​​the striking panel 3. This avoids an excessive thickness difference between the peripheral area and the central area of ​​the striking panel 3, which could easily create easily broken areas on the striking panel 3, thus shortening the service life of the striking panel 3. It is evident that setting the thickness of the striking panel 3 to 2mm-3mm can extend the service life of the striking panel 3 while ensuring the striking strength and rebound force, further enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0034] In this embodiment, the thickness of the striking panel 3 is 2mm-2.3mm, 2mm-2.5mm, 2mm-2.8mm, 2mm-3mm, 2.1mm-2.5mm, 2.1mm-2.8mm, 2.1mm-3mm, 2.3mm-2.5mm, 2.3mm-2.8mm, 2.3mm-3mm, 2.5mm-2.8mm, 2.5mm-3mm, or 2.8mm-3mm, etc.

[0035] In some possible embodiments, the thickness of the central region of the striking panel 3 is 2.8mm-3mm, and the thickness of the peripheral region of the striking panel 3 is 2.5mm-2.8mm; or the thickness of the central region of the striking panel 3 is 2.5mm-3mm, and the thickness of the peripheral region of the striking panel 3 is 2mm-2.5mm; or the thickness of the central region of the striking panel 3 is 2.5mm-3mm, and the thickness of the peripheral region of the striking panel 3 is 2mm-2.5mm.

[0036] In some possible embodiments, the shape of the striking panel 3 is adapted to the shape of the mounting notch 6, and the connection between the striking panel 3 and the crown 1 is smoothly transitioned, as is the connection between the striking panel 3 and the bottom 2. The above settings can ensure that after the striking panel 3 is connected to the mounting notch 6, there will be no protrusions or pits at the connection position, which can ensure the hitting effect of the golf ball head and improve the aesthetics of the golf ball head.

[0037] In this embodiment, the striking panel 3 is welded and fixed to the mounting notch 6, which improves the connection strength between the striking panel 3 and the mounting notch 6 and prevents the striking panel 3 from falling off during the striking process, thus avoiding adverse effects on the user.

[0038] In this embodiment, the striking panel 3 has a striking surface and a mounting surface that are arranged opposite to each other. The mounting surface is positioned facing the mounting notch 6. The striking surface is used to strike a golf ball. The material of the striking panel 3 is a titanium alloy, iron, or a hybrid structure of carbon fiber + titanium alloy or steel.

[0039] In some possible embodiments, with the bottom 2 placed on a horizontal plane in the standard state, the angle between the striking surface of the striking panel 3 and the vertical plane is 16°-22°. The above setting can improve the structural safety of the striking panel 3, the hitting effect and the hitting stability of the striking panel 3, while ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the golf ball head.

[0040] In this embodiment, the angle between the striking surface of the striking panel 3 and the vertical surface is 16°-18°, 16°-20°, 16°-22°, 18°-20°, 18°-22°, or 20°-22°, etc. See the attached diagram for the aforementioned striking surface angles. Figure 4 Angle B in the middle.

[0041] Preferably, in the standard state where the bottom 2 is placed on a horizontal plane, the angle between the striking surface of the striking panel 3 and the vertical plane is 16°, 18° or 22°. By setting the angle between the striking surface of the striking panel 3 and the vertical plane to 16°, 18° or 22°, the clubhead loft angle between the central axis of the handle 4 and the horizontal plane is set to 60°, which can further improve the hitting effect and hitting stability of the golf ball head.

[0042] Specifically, in the standard state where the bottom 2 is placed on a horizontal plane, the bottom 2 is in contact with the horizontal plane, and the horizontal plane is set perpendicular to the vertical plane.

[0043] Specifically, the head tilt angle between the central axis of the handle 4 and the horizontal plane is 60°. See the appendix for the aforementioned head tilt angle. Figure 3 Angle A in the middle.

[0044] Preferably, in the standard state where the bottom 2 is placed on a horizontal plane, the loft angle between the center axis of the handle 4 and the horizontal plane is 60°. Setting the loft angle between the center axis of the handle 4 and the horizontal plane to 60° can maximize the hitting effect and hitting stability of the golf ball head.

[0045] In some possible embodiments, at least one of the crown 1 and the bottom 2 is provided with a plurality of rib structures 7 at intervals; when the crown 1 is provided with rib structures 7, the first end of the rib structure 7 is located near the striking panel 3 and the second end of the rib structure 7 is located near the bottom 2; when the bottom 2 is provided with rib structures 7, the first end of the rib structure 7 is located near the striking panel 3 and the second end of the rib structure 7 is located near the crown 1. By providing a plurality of rib structures 7 at intervals between at least one of the crown 1 and the bottom 2, the overall aesthetics of the golf ball head can be improved and the golf ball head's resistance to deformation can be improved.

[0046] In some possible embodiments, the width of the first reinforcing rib 131 gradually decreases along the direction from the first end to the second end of the rib structure 7; by setting the width of the rib structure 7 to a gradual change, it is possible to ensure that the deformation resistance of the crown 1 and the bottom 2 at the end closer to the striking panel 3 is greater than that at the end farther from the striking panel 3, thereby maximizing the deformation resistance of the striking panel 3 while reducing the overall weight.

[0047] In this embodiment, the number of rib structures 7 provided on the crown 1 and / or the bottom 2 is not limited, and the height of the rib structures 7 is not limited; preferably, the rib structures 7 provided on the crown 1 are the same as the rib structures 7 provided on the bottom 2.

[0048] In some possible embodiments, the spacing between the multiple rib structures 7 gradually decreases along the direction from the first end to the second end of the rib structure 7. The above arrangement can ensure that the rib structure 7 at the end near the hitting panel 3 has high strength, thereby improving the golf ball head's resistance to deformation.

[0049] In this embodiment, along the direction from the first end to the second end of the rib structure 7, the interval between the multiple rib structures 7 gradually decreases, the width of the rib structure 7 gradually decreases, and the second end of the rib structure 7 forms a converging trend, further improving the overall aesthetics of the golf club head.

[0050] In some possible embodiments, the central area of ​​the striking surface of the striking panel 3 is provided with a textured structure, the surface roughness of which is 1μm-10μm. By providing the textured structure, the friction between the striking panel 3 and the golf ball can be increased, which can prevent the golf ball from sliding relative to the striking panel 3, thereby ensuring the hitting effect of the golf ball head.

[0051] In this embodiment, the surface roughness of the texture structure is 1μm-5μm, 1μm-10μm, 4μm-6μm, 4μm-8μm, 4μm-10μm, 6μm-8μm, 6μm-10μm, or 8μm-10μm, etc.

[0052] In some possible embodiments, the texture structure includes at least one of microgrooves, laser-etched patterns, or sandblasted surfaces. By setting the texture structure as described above, the texture structure can be simplified and the manufacturing difficulty and cost can be reduced while increasing the friction of the striking panel 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, the microgrooves are at least one of U-shaped grooves, V-shaped grooves, or microtextures. U-shaped grooves are wider, have better dust-holding capacity, and are suitable for humid conditions. V-shaped grooves have sharper edges, providing higher spin. Microtextures are small bumps and depressions between the grooves, further increasing friction. By setting microgrooves, grass clippings / moisture can be removed during impact, ensuring a closer contact between the golf ball and the hitting panel 3.

[0054] In some possible embodiments, the striking surface of the striking panel 3 is provided with a plurality of recesses at intervals. The depth of the recesses is 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm and the diameter is 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm. By providing the recesses, the friction between the striking panel 3 and the golf ball can be increased, which can prevent the golf ball from sliding relative to the striking panel 3, thereby ensuring the hitting effect of the golf ball head.

[0055] In this embodiment, the depth of the pit is 0.1mm-0.3mm, 0.1mm-0.5mm, 0.2mm-0.4mm, 0.2mm-0.5mm, 0.3mm-0.5mm, or 0.4mm-0.5mm, etc.

[0056] In this embodiment, the depth of the pit is 1.0mm-2.0mm, 1.0mm-3.0mm, 1.0mm-4.0mm, 1.0mm-5.0mm, 2.0mm-5.0mm, or 3.0mm-5.0mm, etc.

[0057] In this embodiment, the striking panel 3 includes a substrate layer, a reinforcing coating, and a textured structure. The substrate layer is formed by titanium alloy to form the main structure of the striking panel 3, and the aforementioned pits are spaced on the surface of the substrate layer. The reinforcing coating covers the substrate layer and the surface of the pits. The hardness of the reinforcing coating is higher than that of the substrate layer, and the thickness of the reinforcing coating is 5μm-50μm. The textured structure is located in the central area of ​​the striking panel 3.

[0058] In some possible embodiments, one of the crown 1 and the bottom 2 is provided with a counterweight structure. The counterweight structure is snapped or threadedly connected to its corresponding crown 1 or bottom 2. By setting the counterweight structure, the center of gravity of the golf ball head can be changed. Specifically, if the position of the counterweight structure is adjusted so that the center of gravity of the golf ball head is at a high position, the backspin of the golf ball can be reduced, which is suitable for shots that require a low trajectory and a longer roll distance (such as in tailwind or hard grass conditions). If the position of the counterweight structure is adjusted so that the center of gravity of the golf ball head is at a low position, the backspin and takeoff angle can be increased, which helps the ball take off quickly and is suitable for shots that require a high trajectory and a soft landing (such as approach shots or headwinds). Thus, it can be seen that by adjusting the center of gravity, different user needs can be met and the user experience can be improved.

[0059] In this embodiment, the counterweight structure includes at least one counterweight and at least one connector. The first ends of the counterweight and the connector are fixedly connected, and the second end of the connector is detachably connected to the crown 1 or the bottom 2.

[0060] Specifically, the counterweights are made of high-density materials, including tungsten alloys, stainless steel, or copper alloys.

[0061] In some possible embodiments, the connector is a snap-fit ​​structure, and the crown 1 or the bottom 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that mates with the snap-fit ​​structure, so that the connector is snapped and fixed to the crown 1 or the bottom 2.

[0062] In some possible embodiments, the connector has an external thread, and the crown 1 or the bottom 2 is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread, and the connector is threadedly connected to the crown 1 or the bottom 2.

[0063] In this embodiment, the counterweight and the connector are either integrally formed or separately formed.

[0064] This utility model also protects a golf club, including a shaft 5 and a golf head; the crown 1 of the golf head is provided with a handle 4, which is sleeved on the shaft 5 and detachably connected to the shaft 5. The golf club in this utility model has the above-mentioned golf head. By setting the thickness of the striking face 3 to gradually decrease from the center area of ​​the striking face 3 to the peripheral area, it can ensure that the center area of ​​the striking face 3 has sufficient hitting power, while the peripheral area of ​​the striking face 3, being thinner, can provide rebound force for the golf ball when hitting. This ensures that the golf ball hit by the striking face 3 has a longer hitting distance, thus improving the hitting effect of the golf head, enhancing the user experience, and increasing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, the handle 4 is detachably connected to the crown 1. By detachably connecting the handle 4 to the crown 1, it is possible to replace the handle 4 or the shaft head column in a timely manner when it is damaged, avoiding the need to replace the entire set and further reducing replacement costs.

[0066] In some possible embodiments, one of the handle 4 and the crown 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that mates with it, so that the handle 4 and the crown 1 are snapped together and fixed.

[0067] Specifically, the crown 1 is provided with multiple spaced-apart snap-fit ​​grooves, and each snap-fit ​​groove corresponds to a different installation angle. The handle 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure. By setting the snap-fit ​​structure in different snap-fit ​​grooves, different installation angles of the handle 4 can be achieved, thereby realizing the angle adjustment, further improving the adaptability of the golf head and reducing replacement costs.

[0068] In some other possible embodiments, one of the handle 4 and the crown 1 is provided with an internal thread, and the other is provided with an external thread that mates with it, and the handle 4 is threadedly connected to the neck 15.

[0069] Preferably, the handle 4 is provided with external threads, and the crown 1 is provided with internal threads.
