Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of racket technology, and in particular to a lightweight Peak racket. Background Technology

[0002] Pickleball is a sport that uses a racket to hit a ball. It originated on Benbridge Island in Seattle, USA. It can be said to be a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis. Its activity level and exercise intensity are less than tennis, making it suitable for people of all ages. Therefore, it has gradually become popular and loved by the public in recent years.

[0003] Traditionally, Peak rackets have used a sandwich structure consisting of a PP core board and an aramid core board. (The PP core board is made by binding multiple hollow PP tubes together, then bonding the surfaces of these tubes together with adhesive. After fixing, the PP core board is cut to a specific thickness laterally. The aramid core board is made in the same way as the PP core board, but it uses hollow aramid tubes.) Because both the PP and aramid core boards are formed by bonding multiple tubes together longitudinally, the surface of the board is not a complete flat surface, but has multiple through holes. This results in limited bounce and poor elasticity when hitting the ball.

[0004] Because the core board is made of PP or aramid, the adhesive can only adhere to the edges of multiple tubes during bonding, resulting in uneven adhesion. The central area of ​​the racket body is frequently hit, and this area is the sweet spot for hitting the ball. As a result, the sweet spot is frequently subjected to impact forces. Prolonged impacts can cause the adhesive to detach. In addition, the PP or aramid core boards are not strong enough, causing the central area to collapse, reducing durability, which in turn reduces the racket's elasticity, resulting in poor hitting performance. Ultimately, this leads to a decrease in ball control, return power, and accuracy.

[0005] A high-elasticity racket and its manufacturing process, patent number CN119857254A, uses PET material for the middle layer. Due to the limited thickness, the overall rigidity of the racket is insufficient. At the same time, the sides of the racket are attached with foam material, resulting in insufficient strength at the edges and corners of the racket and poor hitting performance.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a lightweight Peak racket to improve the overall rigidity of the racket under the existing manufacturing process, while also increasing the strength of the racket's edges and corners, thereby improving the hitting effect. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a lightweight Peak racket that improves the overall rigidity of the racket while simultaneously enhancing the strength of its edges and corners, thereby improving the hitting performance.

[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] This utility model proposes a lightweight Peak racket, including a carbon fiber reinforced plate, two impact plates, a protective side plate, and multiple corner guards. The carbon fiber reinforced plate is fixedly connected between the two impact plates to form a polygonal layered structure. The protective side plate is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the polygonal layered structure. The multiple corner guards correspond one-to-one with the arc-shaped corners of the polygonal layered structure, and all the corner guards are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the protective side plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the carbon fiber reinforced plate is a, the thickness of the impact plate is b, and the thickness of the polygonal laminated structure is c. The relationship between a and b is 35-37, where a = b and c ≥ a + b.

[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the carbon fiber reinforced plate is 0.15–0.30 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the corner protector has an arc-shaped plate structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the thickness of the corner protector is 0.15 to 0.30 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the protective side plate is 1.5 to 3.0 mm.

[0015] Furthermore, all of the corner protectors are bonded and fixed to the outer periphery of the protective side panel using an adhesive.

[0016] Furthermore, the lightweight Peak racket also includes a surface layer that wraps around and fixes the surface of the polygonal stacked structure and the protective side plate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention uses a carbon fiber reinforcing plate as a reinforcing plate between the two impact plates, which improves the overall rigidity of the racket and also forms a polygonal layered structure. The protective side plates protect the outer periphery of the polygonal layered structure, and multiple corner protectors protect the arc-shaped corners of the polygonal layered structure, thus improving the strength of the racket's corners. In summary, this lightweight Peak racket can effectively improve the overall rigidity of the racket and the strength of its corners under the original manufacturing process, thereby improving the hitting effect.

[0021] The attached figures are labeled as follows:

[0022] Carbon fiber reinforced plate 1, impact plate 2, protective side plate 3, corner guard plate 4, surface layer 5, laminated structure 123, and curved corner parts 1231. Detailed Implementation

[0023] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-2 This utility model proposes a lightweight Peak racket, including a carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1, two hitting force plates 2, a protective side plate 3, and multiple corner guards 4. The carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 is fixedly connected between the two hitting force plates 2 to form a polygonal layered structure 123. The protective side plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the polygonal layered structure 123. The multiple corner guards 4 correspond one-to-one with the arc-shaped corners 1231 of the polygonal layered structure 123, and all the multiple corner guards 4 are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the protective side plate 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, a carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 is used as a reinforcing plate between the two impact plates 2, which improves the overall rigidity of the racket. Since the carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 and the two impact plates 2 have the same shape and are both geometric shapes, such as rectangles or hexagons, when the carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 and the two impact plates 2 are stacked and fixed, a polygonal stacked structure 123 is also formed. The protective side plate 3 protects the outer periphery of the polygonal stacked structure 123, and multiple corner guards 4 protect the arc-shaped corners 1231 of the polygonal stacked structure 123, which improves the corner strength of the racket. The number of corner guards 4 is the same as the number of arc-shaped corners 1231. That is, if the polygonal stacked structure 123 is rectangular, the number of corner guards 4 is 4.

[0026] In summary, this lightweight Peak racket effectively improves the overall rigidity of the racket while increasing the strength of the racket's edges and corners under the existing manufacturing process, thereby improving the hitting effect.

[0027] In this embodiment, the thickness of the carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 is a, the thickness of the impact plate 2 is b, the relationship between a and b is 35-37a = b, and the thickness of the polygonal laminated structure 123 is c, where c ≥ a + b. For example, the thickness of the carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 is 0.2 mm, the thickness of the polygonal laminated structure 123 is 15 mm (the upper limit thickness of a competition racket), and the thickness of a single impact plate 2 is 7-7.4 mm. This ratio of a to b can optimize the amount of material used in the polygonal laminated structure 123 while also ensuring that the racket has optimal rigidity and impact elasticity.

[0028] In this embodiment, the thickness of the carbon fiber reinforcing plate 1 is 0.15 to 0.30 mm. This thickness range provides the racket with sufficient rigidity while also reducing its weight.

[0029] In this embodiment, the corner protector 4 has an arc-shaped plate structure, which makes it easy to fit the arc-shaped corner 1231 for protection, and the corner protector 4 is made of carbon fiber material.

[0030] In this embodiment, the thickness of the corner protector 4 is 0.15 to 0.30 mm. This thickness range ensures that the corner protector 4 has sufficient strength while also reducing its weight.

[0031] In this embodiment, the thickness of the protective side plate 3 is 1.5 to 3.0 mm; the protective side plate 3 is made of foam material and is soft. The foam material itself has the characteristics of being soft, fluffy and elastic. The thickness of 1.5 to 3.0 mm can save material and effectively buffer the impact, thus protecting the outer periphery of the polygonal laminated structure 123.

[0032] In this embodiment, multiple corner protectors 4 are bonded and fixed to the outer periphery of the protective side panel 3 by adhesive; the fixation by adhesive is simple and convenient, reduces weight, and facilitates assembly.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lightweight Peak racket also includes a surface layer 5, which wraps and fixes the surface of the polygonal laminate structure 123 and the protective side plate 3. The surface layer 5 has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mm, which is relatively thin. The surface layer 5 is used to decorate the racket. The surface layer 5 can be any one of carbon fiber, Kevlar, or glass fiber, and the surface layer 5 can be painted with color as needed.

[0034] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
