A golf iron head

Abstract

This utility model proposes a golf iron head, comprising: a metal body including a striking face, a bottom, and a back connected in sequence, wherein the striking face, bottom, and back are combined to form an upward-facing U-shaped structure; and a carbon fiber body including a root, an insert, and a toe connected in sequence, wherein the insert is used to insert into the opening of the U-shaped structure and connect to the metal body. In this application, the vibration generated by the metal body after impact is transmitted to the carbon fiber body. The high damping characteristics of the carbon fiber body can absorb high-frequency vibrations, such as the harsh vibrations generated by thin or thick hits, and transmit a softer "thick" feel, improving the sound of the shot. It can effectively absorb and suppress the vibration of the clubhead, which is beneficial to improving the feel of the shot. The carbon fiber body has good resilience and can quickly rebound after impact to push the metal body back to its original position, which is beneficial to increasing the shot distance. The carbon fiber body and the metal body are manufactured separately, and the carbon fiber body can be mass-produced, shortening the manufacturing process time and saving labor costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of golf club head technology, specifically to a golf iron head. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the heads of high-end golf irons and wedges are generally made of cast or forged metal. To meet the requirements for appearance, corrosion resistance, and feel, the heads need to be polished after molding to eliminate machining marks, achieve a matte / mirror finish, and improve surface consistency.

[0003] When polishing the surface of metal materials, it mainly relies on skilled workers to manually polish the curved surface of the ball head one by one with tools such as belt sanders and polishing wheels. Polishing a single ball head takes a long time, which seriously restricts production capacity, is inefficient, and has high labor costs. Long-term manual operation can also easily lead to product defects and affect product quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a golf iron head, comprising:

[0005] The metal body includes a striking panel, a bottom, and a back connected in sequence, and the striking panel, bottom, and back are combined to form an upward-opening U-shaped structure;

[0006] The carbon fiber body includes a root, an insert, and a toe connected in sequence, wherein the insert is used to be inserted into the opening of the U-shaped structure and connected to the metal body.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the material of the metal body includes, but is not limited to, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and tungsten-nickel alloy.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the embedded part is bonded to the metal body.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the height of the upper part of the back is lower than the height of the upper part of the striking panel.

[0010] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of the present invention to solve its technical problem is: the back of the carbon fiber body is provided with a recess, and the upper end of the back is distributed at the lower end of the recess.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies:

[0012] In this application, the vibration generated by the metal body after hitting the ball is transmitted to the carbon fiber body. The high damping characteristics of the carbon fiber body can absorb high-frequency vibrations, such as the harsh vibrations generated by thin or thick hits, and transmit a softer "thick" sound, thus improving the sound of the ball hitting the ball. In addition, the carbon fiber body has good resilience and can quickly rebound after hitting the ball to push the metal body back to its original position, which is beneficial to increasing the hitting distance.

[0013] The carbon fiber body and the hardware body are manufactured separately. The carbon fiber body can be mass-produced, shortening the manufacturing process time and reducing the production cost of the ball head. It also reduces the surface area that needs to be treated for polishing, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and can even use machinery to replace manual polishing, saving the high costs generated by the original ball head professional polishing technicians and professional ball head electroplating processes, thereby reducing labor costs.

[0014] The clubhead uses carbon fiber material to replace some of the metal, making the clubhead lighter and meeting the application requirements of irons.

[0015] Carbon fiber material has high damping capacity, which can effectively absorb and slow down the transmission of vibration. The toe of the ball head is usually the area with the greatest vibration. Carbon fiber material enables the carbon fiber body to effectively absorb and suppress the vibration of the ball head, which is beneficial to improving the feel of hitting the ball, and at the same time, it helps to avoid fatigue resonance of the metal body.

[0016] When the clubhead is hit off-center, the carbon fiber material absorbs and slows down the propagation of vibration, and can quickly rebound to push the clubhead back to its original position. Compared with existing technologies, this is beneficial to improve the vibration decay rate, maintain clubface stability, reduce directional deviation, and expand the effective sweet spot area.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This application presents an embodiment of the golf iron head, which includes:

[0027] The metal body 10 includes a striking panel 11, a bottom 12, and a back 13 connected in sequence, and the striking panel 11, the bottom 12, and the back 13 are combined to form a U-shaped structure with the opening facing upward.

[0028] The carbon fiber body 20 includes a root portion 21, an insert portion 22, and a toe portion 23 connected in sequence. The insert portion 22 is used to insert into the opening of the U-shaped structure and connect to the metal body 10.

[0029] Compared with the prior art: In this application, the vibration generated by the metal body after hitting the ball is transmitted to the carbon fiber body. The high damping characteristics of the carbon fiber body can absorb high-frequency vibrations, such as the harsh vibrations generated by thin or thick hits, and transmit a softer "thick" sound, thus improving the sound of the ball hitting the ball. In addition, the carbon fiber body has good resilience and can quickly rebound after hitting the ball to push the metal body back to its original position, which is beneficial to increasing the hitting distance.

[0030] The carbon fiber body and the hardware body are manufactured separately. The carbon fiber body can be mass-produced, shortening the manufacturing process time and reducing the production cost of the ball head. It also reduces the surface area that needs to be treated for polishing, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and can even use machinery to replace manual polishing, saving the high labor costs generated by the original ball head professional polishing technicians and professional ball head electroplating processes, thereby reducing labor costs.

[0031] In this application, the ball head uses carbon fiber material to replace part of the metal, making the ball head lighter and meeting the application requirements of irons;

[0032] In this application, carbon fiber material has high damping capacity, which can effectively absorb and slow down the propagation of vibration. The toe of the ball head is usually the area with the greatest vibration of the ball head. The carbon fiber material enables the carbon fiber body to effectively absorb and suppress the vibration of the ball head, which is beneficial to improving the feel of hitting the ball, and at the same time, it is beneficial to avoid fatigue resonance of the metal body.

[0033] When the clubhead is hit off-center, the carbon fiber material absorbs and slows down the propagation of vibration, and can quickly rebound to push the clubhead back to its original position. Compared with existing technologies, this is beneficial to improve the vibration decay rate, maintain clubface stability, reduce directional deviation, and expand the effective sweet spot area.

[0034] In this embodiment, the material of the metal body 10 includes, but is not limited to, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and tungsten-nickel alloy. Those skilled in the art can select the material of the metal body 10 according to actual needs.

[0035] In this embodiment, the embedded part 22 can be connected to the metal body 10 by adhesive bonding or by riveting.

[0036] Preferably, the upper end of the back panel 13 is lower than the upper end of the striking panel 11.

[0037] In the prior art, the upper end of the back 13 is lower than the upper end of the striking panel 11, which helps to concentrate the center of gravity of the ball head at its lower part and helps to increase the take-off height after hitting the ball.

[0038] Specifically, the back of the carbon fiber body 20 is provided with a recess 24, and the upper end of the back 13 is distributed at the lower end of the recess 24, so that the ball head forms a concave back ball head structure, so that the center of gravity of the ball head is distributed around the ball head, giving the ball head good directionality and high flight trajectory.

[0039] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the back 13 also includes an extension 14 located behind the toe portion 23, which further adjusts the center of gravity of the ball head to be distributed around the ball head.

[0040] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
