Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Pickleball is a racket sport that combines features of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Its popularity stems from its small court requirements, slow ball speed, ease of learning, high level of fun, and strong social aspect, making it a favorite among people of all ages. As the core equipment for player-ball interaction, the structure and materials of a Pickleball racket directly impact its hitting performance and feel. Commonly used rackets primarily employ a multi-layered composite structure, including an inner honeycomb core layer and a racket face surrounding it. The honeycomb core layer directly affects the racket's touch hardness and power feedback, while the racket face provides the hitting feel and control.

[0003] Chinese patent CN223196500U discloses a one-piece molded grip Peak racket. This design incorporates an anti-slip structure on the grip, including an anti-slip sleeve, ventilation holes, and anti-slip strips. The anti-slip sleeve is installed on the outer side of the grip, and the anti-slip strips are attached to its outer surface. Ventilation holes are formed on the surface of the anti-slip sleeve. The Peak racket provided in this prior art, through the combined use of the anti-slip sleeve and anti-slip strips, enhances the friction between the grip and the palm, thus preventing the hand from slipping off the grip during use.

[0004] However, the aforementioned Peak racket simply has an anti-slip sleeve installed on the outside of the grip. During long-term use, because athletes directly grip the anti-slip sleeve and experience centrifugal force during the shot, the anti-slip sleeve and the Peak racket grip are prone to loosening and displacement, which affects the anti-slip performance during long-term use. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a solution to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Peak racket that can effectively improve the connection stability between the handle and the outer shell.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a peak racket, which includes an inner core layer 1, an outer shell 2, and a handle 3. The outer shell 2 covers the outer surface of the inner core layer 1, and the inner core layer 1 and / or the outer shell 2 form a handle portion 4, while the handle 3 is fitted onto the handle portion 4. In practice, when a peak player uses the racket to hit the ball, their hand is held on the handle 3 of the handle portion 4, and the hitting / returning action is completed using the surface of the outer shell 2. The inner core layer 1 can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the impact of the peak ball, thereby improving the hitting feel, while the outer shell 2 can provide good protection for the inner core layer 1.

[0022] In some embodiments, the inner core layer 1 can be made of foamed polyethylene material, which helps reduce the overall weight of the Peak racket and thus improves the comfort of the player during exercise. Specifically, the foamed polyethylene material used can be polyethylene commonly used in the art. Furthermore, the outer shell 2 can be made of injection-molded polyethylene material, which can be molded and installed on the outside of the inner core layer 1. In fact, by using recyclable polyethylene material for both the inner core layer 1 and the outer shell 2, the overall environmental friendliness of the Peak racket is improved.

[0023] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 Depending on the functional area, the outer shell 2 has a racket face 23 that contacts and strikes the pickle and a first handle portion 41 that forms the handle portion 4. In fact, since the hitter can directly hold the first handle portion 41, they can directly feel the vibration generated by the pickle hitting the racket face 23 during the hit, thereby effectively improving the hitting feel and control accuracy.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner core layer 1 includes a main body portion 11 and a second handle portion 4 for forming the handle portion 4, and the projections of the inner core layer 1 and the outer shell 2 in the direction perpendicular to the racket face coincide with each other. Thus, when the Peak racket is assembled, the contact area between the inner core layer 1 and the outer shell 2 can be increased, thereby improving the overall integrity of the Peak racket and further improving the feedback given to the hitter during the hitting process.

[0025] Furthermore, the main body portion 11 of the inner core layer 1 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 111 extending outward from its surface, and the inner surface of the outer shell 2 is connected to the protrusions 111, thereby creating a space between the inner surface of the outer shell 2 and the main body portion 11. This is beneficial for further absorbing the vibration generated by the impact of the pick ball on the surface of the outer shell 2 during the hitting process. Even further, the protrusions 111 are cylindrical with a diameter of 20mm-30mm and a height of 1mm-3mm, and 15-30 protrusions 111 are arranged in an array on the main body portion 11.

[0026] In some embodiments, at least one outer surface of the shell 2 located on the racket face 23 is set with a frosted surface. Compared to a smooth racket face 23, the frosted surface can significantly increase the friction between the racket and the pickle, thereby applying stronger spin to the pickle during impact, making the trajectory of the pickle more aggressive, and further improving the player's control accuracy. Furthermore, the roughness depth of the frosted surface of the shell 2 is 0.03mm-0.05mm.

[0027] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The shell 2 has a TPU film 5 attached to at least one surface of the racket face 23. The TPU film 5 covers at least the surface of the shell 2 located on the racket face 23, which can effectively reduce noise and vibration during the hitting process. This helps to improve the hitting comfort and avoids putting too much burden on the player's wrist. At the same time, the TPU film 5 can also effectively improve the rebound of the racket face 23 to the peak ball, thereby improving the hitting feel.

[0028] Specifically, the TPU film 5 can be adhered and fixed to the racket face 23 using 3M adhesive. Furthermore, when the outer shell 2 is attached to the racket face 23 with the TPU film 5, its frosted surface can be directly set on the surface of the TPU film 5, which can effectively improve the friction of the TPU film 5 on the peak ball.

[0029] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The outer shell 2 includes a first shell 21 and a second shell 22 that respectively cover two opposite surfaces of the inner core layer 1, and both the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 can be formed by injection molding. Specifically, the joint between the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 is located at the side axis of the Peak racket, thereby avoiding the joint between the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 from affecting the integrity of the racket face 23.

[0030] Furthermore, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be fixed together by snap-fit ​​and / or laser welding. In addition, when the outer surface of the outer shell 2 is provided with a frosted surface on the outer surface of the first housing 21 and / or the second housing 22, a mold with frosted stripes is selected in advance for injection molding during the injection molding process, and the draft angle of the mold is set to 2-3°. This facilitates the smooth demolding of the first housing 21 and / or the second housing 22 after injection molding.

[0031] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer shell 2 has a first locking tooth 6 on the handle part 4, and the inner side of the glove 3 has a second locking tooth 7. The first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 engage with each other to achieve a fixed connection between the glove 3 and the handle part 4. In fact, when the glove 3 is installed on the handle part 4 of the outer shell 2, the first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 engage, which helps to improve the installation stability of the glove 3 on the handle part 4. When swinging the Peak racket to hit the ball, it can effectively prevent relative displacement between the glove 3 and the handle part 4.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first locking tooth 6 is disposed on the first handle portion 41 of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, and the engaging plane of the first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 is perpendicular to the plane of the racket face 23. In fact, the first locking tooth 6 is set in a serrated shape at the first handle portion 41, and there is a guide slope between the two protruding parts of the serrated first locking tooth 6. When the handle glove 3 is installed on the first handle portion 41, the protruding part on the second locking tooth 7 can slide on the guide slope, and thus continuously move towards the racket face 23. After the handle glove 3 is installed, the protruding parts of the first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 engage with each other, and the guide slopes fit together.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first locking tooth 6 has an opening depth of 0.5mm-2mm in the first handle portion 41, and the second locking tooth 7 has an opening depth of 0.5mm-2mm on the inside of the handle glove 3. In fact, when the first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 engage with each other, the contact rate between the first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 is greater than or equal to 99%, which helps to improve the positional stability of the handle glove 3 in the handle portion 4.

[0034] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the glove 3 is provided with sweat-wicking grooves 8 or sweat-wicking holes, and friction stripes 9 are also provided on the outer side of the glove 3. Specifically, see Figure 6 Multiple crisscrossing sweat-wicking grooves 8 are formed on the outer surface of the glove 3, and the multiple crisscrossing sweat-wicking grooves 8 divide the outer surface of the glove 3 into areas, thereby forming a sweat-wicking area composed of crisscrossing and interconnected sweat-wicking grooves 8 and a friction area between the sweat-wicking areas. Friction stripes 9 are set in the friction area of ​​the glove 3, and multiple friction stripes 9 intersect with each other in the friction area and form friction protrusions at the middle of the intersection.

[0035] In fact, by setting sweat-wicking grooves 8 or sweat-wicking holes and friction stripes 9 on the outside of the handle glove 3, the comfort and grip stability of the handle glove 3 can be effectively improved. Specifically, the handle glove 3 can be a soft rubber sleeve made of rubber material.

[0036] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to these embodiments. However, it should be understood that such modifications and variations fall within the scope and spirit of this utility model as described in the claims. Moreover, the utility model described herein may have other embodiments and can be implemented or realized in various ways.
