Technology Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a park golf club comprising coffee grounds. Background Technology
[0002] Park golf clubs are generally manufactured from various materials, including wood, aluminum, and carbon fiber. When wood is used, the supply is limited, and its low durability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes can lead to deformation or cracking during long-term use. Furthermore, wood processing is not suitable for mass production, and environmental issues regarding the import of tropical timber are raised. While the application of synthetic materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber improves durability, the higher manufacturing costs make them inaccessible to the average user. Most existing park golf clubs are manufactured with standardized structures, lacking user customization and limiting weight distribution and balance adjustment. Additionally, the fixed connection between the head and shaft makes replacement or modularization difficult, and there are limitations in improving user feel, such as the head's shock absorption, rebound force, and sound control. Recently, there has been an increasing demand for the application of eco-friendly materials and recycled structures, but actual implementation is rare. Against this backdrop, there is a growing need for park golf clubs that incorporate new materials, streamline manufacturing processes, enhance user customization, and strengthen durability and environmental features.

The magnitude of the repulsive force may vary depending on the elastic modulus and recovery speed of the pores of the internal porous structure.
[0191] According to some embodiments, optimizing porosity and cell structure can minimize energy loss and increase rebound force upon impact. When porosity is set to an appropriate range, a portion of the impact energy can be stored and released as rebound force.

[0197] According to some embodiments, the weather-resistant filler is uniformly dispersed within the composite material to ensure long-term durability. When the weather-resistant filler is uniformly dispersed, structural deformation due to changes in temperature and humidity can be minimized.

[0218] In some embodiments of the present invention, the coffee grounds recovery and sorting step may be a process of collecting coffee grounds in a fresh state from their source and ensuring quality by removing foreign substances and spoilage factors. In the coffee grounds recovery and sorting step, coffee grounds generated at cafes, coffee roasting plants, etc., can be quickly collected by placing them in designated containers. The recovered coffee grounds can be inspected for the presence of foreign substances immediately after collection using visual inspection or automated sensors. In the sorting step, non-organic foreign substances such as metal, plastic, and paper can be removed using magnetic separators, air blowers, sieves, etc. Spoilage factors can be sorted according to management standards such as moisture content, temperature, and time, allowing coffee grounds with a potential for mold growth to be separated separately. The recovery and sorting step may affect the hygiene and durability of the final composite material.
[0219] According to some embodiments, coffee grounds generated at cafes, coffee roasting plants, etc., can be collected. Coffee grounds can be collected regularly through a collection schedule designated for each source. When collecting coffee grounds, a dedicated airtight container can be used to prevent external contamination and moisture evaporation. Coffee grounds can be collected within 6 hours of generation to maintain freshness.
[0220] According to some embodiments, fresh coffee grounds spoil quickly, so they may be collected on the same day as a matter of principle. Fresh coffee grounds have a moisture content of 60% or more, which can lead to rapid spoilage. Collecting them on the same day may be essential to minimize the occurrence of mold and odors. The coffee grounds collected on the same day can be immediately transferred to a drying process to prevent quality degradation.
[0221] In some embodiments of the present invention, the recovered coffee grounds may undergo a sorting process to prevent contamination with foreign substances. The recovered coffee grounds may have foreign substances separated automatically or manually on a sorting line. The sorting process may involve spreading the coffee grounds thinly and sequentially applying a metal detector, a magnetic separator, an air blower, a sieve, etc.
[0222] In some embodiments of the present invention, inorganic foreign substances such as metal, plastic, and paper can be removed during the sorting process. Metal foreign substances can be separated using a magnetic separator. Plastic and paper foreign substances can be removed using a color recognition sensor or by manual labor. After the removal of foreign substances, the purity of the coffee grounds can be maintained at 99.9% or higher.
[0223] According to some embodiments, since coffee grounds have a high moisture content and spoil quickly, they can be introduced into a drying process immediately after collection to prevent the occurrence of mold and odors. Coffee grounds can be introduced into the drying process within 2 hours of collection to suppress the possibility of microbial growth. The drying process can be selected as natural drying or hot air drying. The occurrence of mold and odors can be minimized by controlling the drying temperature, time, and ventilation conditions. Hygiene can be enhanced by spraying an antibacterial agent or deodorizer before the drying stage.
[0224] According to some embodiments, the drying step may be a process to lower the moisture content of the coffee grounds to improve long-term storage and grinding efficiency. The drying step can reduce the moisture content of the coffee grounds from 60% or more to 5% or less. The drying step may be applied by selecting between natural drying and hot air drying. The drying step can improve grinding efficiency and prevent mold growth during long-term storage. The drying step may affect the mechanical strength and surface quality of the final composite material.
[0225] According to some embodiments, coffee grounds can be spread out and dried naturally for about 3 to 5 days. Coffee grounds can be spread thinly to a thickness of 2 to 3 cm and dried in a well-ventilated place. Natural drying allows for adjusting the drying time according to sunlight, wind, and temperature conditions. Natural drying reduces energy consumption and may be suitable for mass processing.
[0226] According to some embodiments, uniform drying can be achieved by turning the coffee grounds over frequently during natural drying. The coffee grounds can be turned over at intervals of 6 to 12 hours to minimize drying variations between the upper and lower layers. The turning operation can be performed using an automatic rotating device or manually. Uniform drying can contribute to ensuring consistency in particle size distribution during grinding.
[0227] In some embodiments of the present invention, coffee grounds can be dried at approximately 100 to 120°C for 1 to 2 hours using a dryer or a hot air dryer. Hot air drying is suitable for large-volume processing, and the temperature and time can be adjusted according to the initial moisture content of the coffee grounds. Hot air drying can be performed by spreading the coffee grounds thinly on a rotating drum or tray inside the dryer and circulating hot air. Hot air drying can rapidly lower the moisture content and inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
[0228] According to some embodiments, a rotating or stirring device may be used to ensure that heat is applied evenly to the coffee grounds during hot air drying. A rotary drum dryer can achieve uniform heat distribution by continuously rotating the coffee grounds. A stirring device can increase drying efficiency by dispersing the coffee grounds to prevent clumping. After hot air drying, the coffee grounds can undergo a cooling process to prevent moisture reabsorption.
[0229] According to some embodiments, the moisture content of the dried coffee grounds can be managed to be ultimately 5% or less. The moisture content can be measured by sampling after drying using an infrared moisture meter or a drying loss method. If the moisture content exceeds 5%, an additional drying process can be repeated. Coffee grounds with a moisture content of 5% or less are suitable for long-term storage and grinding processes.
[0230] According to some embodiments, moisture content measurement may be performed using an infrared moisture meter or a drying loss method. An infrared moisture meter can measure the amount of moisture evaporated by heating a coffee grounds sample at a certain temperature. The drying loss method can calculate the moisture content by calculating the weight loss after drying a certain amount of coffee grounds at 105°C for 2 hours. The results of the moisture content measurement may be stored in a quality control record.
[0231] According to some embodiments, the grinding and sieving steps may be a process of making dried coffee grounds into fine powder and homogenizing the particle size distribution. The grinding step may use fine grinding equipment to make the coffee grounds into powder with an average particle diameter of 50 to 500 micrometers. The sieving step may homogenize the particle size distribution by separating large particles and foreign substances using a sieve. The grinding and sieving steps may affect the mold injection efficiency and the surface texture of the composite material in the molding process.
[0232] In some embodiments of the present invention, dried coffee grounds can be ground into a fine powder using a fine grinding device. Various types of fine grinding devices may be applied, such as hammer mills, ball mills, and jet mills. During the grinding process, the particle size can be controlled according to the grinding speed, time, and type of equipment. The ground coffee grounds can be adjusted to an average particle diameter in the range of 50 to 500 micrometers.
[0233] According to some embodiments, stirring or vibration functions may be used to prevent clumping during the grinding process. The stirring device can continuously mix the coffee grounds to prevent them from clumping inside the equipment during grinding. The vibration function can improve the uniformity of particle distribution when the ground powder passes through a sieve. The combination of grinding, stirring, and vibration functions can improve the quality of the powder.
[0234] According to some embodiments, large particles or foreign substances can be filtered out from the ground coffee powder using a sieve. The sieve may be made of stainless steel to be hygienic and highly durable. The sieve can spread the powder to a uniform thickness and sift it using a vibration or rotational method. The sieving process can separate the powder by particle size to ensure a uniform particle size distribution.
[0235] According to some embodiments, the sieve specifications can be selected to match the average particle diameter range of 50 to 500 micrometers. The sieve specifications can be used in combination with various sizes, such as 50, 100, 200, 300, and 500 micrometers. The sieve specifications can be optimized according to the molding characteristics and surface quality of the final composite. Large particles remaining after sieving can be reintroduced into a re-grinding process.
[0236] According to some embodiments, sieved coffee grounds powder can be homogenized to a relative standard deviation of 10% or less. The particle size distribution can be measured using a laser particle size analyzer or a sieve analyzer. Powder with a relative standard deviation of 10% or less can ensure consistency in the mold filling rate and surface texture during the molding process. The homogenized powder can have a positive effect on the mechanical strength and durability of the composite material.
[0237] According to some embodiments, homogenized powder can affect mold injection efficiency and surface texture during the molding process. The homogenized powder can minimize bubble generation during mold injection and enable a fine texture on the surface of the composite material. The homogenized powder can improve viscosity and dispersibility when mixed with synthetic resin. The homogenized powder can contribute to the appearance quality and durability of the final park golf club head (100).
[0238] In some embodiments of the present invention, the composite material blending and extrusion process may be a process for manufacturing a composite material suitable for molding by uniformly mixing coffee grounds powder, a synthetic resin, and a binder. The composite material blending and extrusion process can ensure the homogeneity of the composite material by adjusting the particle size and moisture content of the coffee grounds powder in advance, and then mixing it with the synthetic resin and binder in a predetermined ratio. The composite material blending and extrusion process can achieve fluidity and surface quality suitable for molding by monitoring viscosity and the occurrence of bubbles in real time during the mixing process. The composite material blending and extrusion process can mold the mixed composite material into a desired shape by feeding it into an extruder or a mold. The composite material blending and extrusion process may apply a continuous process flow for mass production.
[0239] According to some embodiments, the composite blending and extrusion process can determine the physical properties and quality of the final molded product by managing the particle size, moisture content, mixing uniformity, viscosity, and bubble generation of the coffee grounds powder. The composite blending and extrusion process can adjust the average particle diameter of the coffee grounds powder to 50 to 500 micrometers and manage the moisture content to 5% or less. The composite blending and extrusion process can optimize the stirring speed, time, temperature, and mixer structure to ensure mixing uniformity. The composite blending and extrusion process can measure the viscosity of the mixture in real time using a viscometer and adjust the viscosity by adding additives if necessary. The composite blending and extrusion process can minimize bubble generation through vacuum stirring, addition of a defoaming agent, low-speed stirring, etc.
[0240] In some embodiments of the present invention, the composite blending and extrusion process may optionally include a fillet extrusion step to increase continuous productivity and mass production efficiency. The composite blending and extrusion process can form the mixed composite into a continuous strand shape through the fillet extrusion step. By cutting the continuous strand into a certain length and storing it in a fillet shape, the composite blending and extrusion process can improve the automation and productivity of subsequent forming processes. The composite blending and extrusion process can implement a process flow suitable for mass production by continuously performing the steps of extruder feeding, strand formation, cutting, and storage.
[0241] According to some embodiments, the synthetic resin and binder preparation step may serve as a basic process to secure the mechanical strength and durability of the composite material by combining it with coffee grounds powder. In the synthetic resin and binder preparation step, various synthetic resins such as epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, and polyvinyl alcohol may be selected to consider the compatibility of mixing with coffee grounds powder and curing characteristics. In the synthetic resin and binder preparation step, optimal mechanical strength and durability can be achieved by adjusting the ratios of curing agents, accelerators, and additives according to the type of resin. In the synthetic resin and binder preparation step, the viscosity, fluidity, and curing time of the resin may be measured in advance before mixing to minimize quality variations when mixed with coffee grounds powder.
[0242] According to some embodiments, synthetic resins such as epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, and polyvinyl alcohol may be used. The synthetic resin may be selected based on compatibility with coffee grounds powder, curing characteristics, moisture resistance, and durability. In the case of epoxy resin, it can provide excellent adhesion and chemical resistance, while polyurethane resin can impart elasticity and shock absorption properties. Polyvinyl alcohol may be selected considering reduced moisture absorption and eco-friendliness.
[0243] According to some embodiments, the synthetic resin may be selected based on its compatibility with coffee grounds powder, curing characteristics, moisture resistance, and durability. The compatibility of the synthetic resin may vary depending on the surface treatment state and particle size of the coffee grounds powder. The synthetic resin may be classified and applied as a room-temperature curing type, a heat-curing type, etc., depending on its curing characteristics. To improve moisture resistance, the synthetic resin may be used in combination with silane treatment or weather-resistant additives.
[0244] According to some embodiments, during the preparation stage of the synthetic resin and binder, the addition ratio of the curing agent can be adjusted according to the type of resin and the mixing ratio. For epoxy resins, the curing agent ratio can be adjusted to a range of 100:10 to 100:20 (resin:curing agent), and for polyurethane resins, it can be mixed according to the manufacturer's recommended ratio. The curing agent ratio can be measured using a precision scale before mixing. After mixing, the curing reaction rate may vary depending on the stirring time and temperature.
[0245] According to some embodiments, the curing agent ratio can affect the curing speed, final strength, moisture resistance, and molding stability of the composite. If the curing agent ratio is excessively high, the curing reaction proceeds rapidly, which may lead to bubble formation and surface defects. If the curing agent ratio is insufficient, poor curing, reduced mechanical strength, and reduced moisture resistance may occur. The curing agent ratio can act as an important variable in ensuring the dimensional stability and durability of the final molded product.
[0246] In some embodiments of the present invention, a defoaming agent may be added during the synthetic resin and binder preparation step to minimize bubbles that may occur during the mixing process. Various types of defoaming agents, such as silicone-based, polysiloxane-based, and alcohol-based agents, may be used and selected according to the type of resin and the mixing ratio. The defoaming agent may be added to the mixture in a range of 0.1 to 1.0 weight percent to suppress bubble generation. The defoaming agent may help fine bubbles rise and be discharged to the surface during the stirring process after mixing.
[0247] In some embodiments of the present invention, a defoaming agent can improve the surface quality and mechanical properties of a molded article by suppressing the generation of bubbles within the composite material. Due to the addition of a defoaming agent, the surface of the molded article can be manufactured to be smooth and free of defects. The defoaming agent can contribute to improving the physical properties of the composite material, such as mechanical strength, durability, and moisture resistance. The defoaming agent can help maintain shock absorption and durability by lowering the internal porosity of the molded article.
[0248] According to some embodiments, the uniform mixing step with coffee grounds may be a process for ensuring the homogeneity of the composite material by mixing coffee grounds powder, synthetic resin, and binder in a constant ratio. The uniform mixing step with coffee grounds may involve adjusting the particle size distribution and moisture content of the coffee grounds powder in advance, and then weighing and mixing it with the synthetic resin and binder using a precision scale. The uniform mixing step with coffee grounds may involve stirring at a constant speed and time using a mixer or agitator to ensure that the coffee grounds powder is evenly dispersed within the resin. The uniform mixing step with coffee grounds may involve observing the viscosity, fluidity, and bubble formation of the mixture in real time, and adjusting the quality by adding additives or changing stirring conditions as necessary.
[0249] According to some embodiments, ground and sieved coffee grounds can be mixed with a binder. The ground and sieved coffee ground powder can be mixed with the binder in a state where the particle size and moisture content are uniformly adjusted. The temperature and viscosity of the coffee ground powder and the binder are measured before mixing, thereby minimizing quality variations during mixing.
[0250] According to some embodiments, the mixture must be stirred to ensure uniform mixing and prevent foaming. During the mixing process, low-speed stirring can be applied to suppress bubble formation. The mixer may have various structures, such as paddle, spiral, or planetary types, and can be selected based on the viscosity and particle distribution of the mixture.
[0251] According to some embodiments, stirring conditions can be optimized based on mixing speed, time, temperature, and the type of stirrer. For example, the mixing speed can be adjusted in the range of 30 to 100 rpm, and the stirring time can be set to 10 to 30 minutes. The mixing temperature can be maintained in the range of 20 to 40°C to increase the fluidity of the resin and the dispersibility of the coffee grounds powder. The type of stirrer can be selected as a paddle type or a planetary type depending on the viscosity and particle size of the mixture.
[0252] According to some embodiments, the viscosity of the mixture of coffee grounds and synthetic resin can be controlled to maintain a viscosity suitable for molding and extrusion. Viscosity control can directly affect the fluidity, mold injectability, and suitability for extrusion molding of the mixture. Viscosity control can be adjusted according to various variables, such as the content of coffee grounds powder, the type of synthetic resin, the ratio of additives, and the mixing temperature.
[0253] In some embodiments of the present invention, viscosity can be controlled according to the content of coffee grounds powder, the type of resin, temperature, and additives. For example, as the viscosity increases as the content of coffee grounds powder increases, fluidity can be compensated for by increasing the viscosity of the resin or adding additives. Viscosity can be measured in real time using a viscometer (e.g., a rotational viscometer). Viscosity can be managed in the range of 1,000 to 10,000 cP during the molding and extrusion processes.
[0254] According to some embodiments, process conditions may be applied during the uniform mixing step to minimize bubbles that may occur during the mixing process. To minimize bubbles, methods such as vacuum stirring before and after mixing, low-speed stirring, and the addition of a defoaming agent may be applied. Minimizing bubbles can play an important role in ensuring the surface quality, mechanical strength, and durability of the molded product.
[0255] In some embodiments of the present invention, methods such as vacuum stirring, addition of a defoaming agent, and low-speed stirring may be used to minimize bubbles. Vacuum stirring can reduce internal porosity by expelling bubbles from the mixture to the outside. Addition of a defoaming agent can reduce surface defects by promoting the aggregation and ascent of microbubbles. Low-speed stirring can suppress the influx of unnecessary air during the mixing process.
[0256] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method for manufacturing a park golf club head may further include a first vacuum degassing step and a second vacuum degassing step to effectively remove bubbles generated during the mixing process.
[0257] According to one embodiment, the mixed material is first fed into a primary vacuum degassing machine, where internal bubbles can expand, rise, and move to the surface. The primary vacuum degassing machine may include a chamber, a vacuum pump, a stirrer, and a viewing window, and the stirring speed can be automatically adjusted when a target vacuum level is reached through a pressure sensor and control logic. Additionally, overflow can be prevented by ensuring sufficient container height or installing a level sensor, taking into account the expansion amount of the mixture. The mixture, after the primary degassing is completed, is stored in a temporary storage and transfer device and can be automatically transferred to a secondary vacuum degassing machine while maintaining uniformity through a stirrer.
[0258] According to one embodiment, the secondary vacuum degassing unit is designed with a lower vessel height (e.g., 100 to 150 mm or less) than the primary degassing unit to shorten the rising distance of bubbles and increase discharge efficiency. Additionally, by equipping a pressure reducing valve and a rotary stirrer, residual fine bubbles can be further removed, and pressure, temperature, and stirring speed conditions can be precisely controlled. For example, if conditions of 50 kPa, 25°C, and 20 minutes are applied in the primary degassing, residual bubbles can be removed by adjusting the conditions to 20 kPa, 35°C, and 15 minutes in the secondary degassing. Through this, the residual bubble rate in the mixture can be reduced to 1% or less, and surface defects in the final molded product can be suppressed.
[0259] According to some embodiments, the secondary vacuum degassing system may include a vacuum chamber, a pressure reducing valve, and a rotary stirrer. The vacuum chamber is made of a durable material such as stainless steel and is equipped with a viewing window to observe the bubble removal process in real time. The pressure reducing valve is linked with an electronic control module to control the pressure in increments of 1 kPa within the range of 0 to 100 kPa. The rotary stirrer can adjust the stirring speed and blade shape according to the viscosity of the mixture and can automatically control the intensity by including a torque sensor.
[0260] In some embodiments of the present invention, quality inspection may include the viscosity of the mixture, the residual bubble rate, and the presence of foreign substances. The mixture is transferred to a secondary degassing machine only when the quality inspection results, obtained through a viscometer, optical sensor, metal detector, etc., satisfy a standard value, and if the results do not meet the standard, the mixture may undergo a re-stirring or re-degassing process.
[0261] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mixture that has undergone a two-stage vacuum degassing process suppresses irregularities, pinholes, and whitening caused by bubbles, thereby improving the appearance quality of the molded product. In addition, by preventing residual bubbles from acting as stress concentration points, tensile strength, impact strength, and fatigue life can be improved. For example, a composite head to which secondary vacuum degassing is applied may have cracks or failures delayed even in repeated load tests, and its durability may be significantly improved.
[0262] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fillet extrusion step may be an optional process for forming a mixed composite material into a continuous strand using an extruder. The fillet extrusion step may continuously form a strand of a certain diameter by feeding the mixed composite material into an extruder hopper and undergoing heating and extrusion processes. The fillet extrusion step may maintain a uniform diameter and density of the strand by adjusting process conditions such as extrusion temperature, extrusion speed, and die diameter. By cutting the continuous strand into a certain length and storing it in the form of a fillet, the fillet extrusion step can increase the automation and productivity of subsequent forming processes.
[0263] In some embodiments of the present invention, coffee grounds mixed with synthetic resin can be fed into an extruder. In the extruder feeding step, the viscosity, temperature, feed rate, etc., of the mixture can be measured in advance to increase the efficiency of transfer and heating within the extruder. When feeding into the extruder, the mixture can be automatically supplied in fixed amounts through a hopper.
[0264] According to some embodiments, the viscosity, temperature, and feed rate of the mixture can be controlled when fed into the extruder. The viscosity of the mixture can affect the transfer resistance within the extruder and the quality of strand formation. The temperature of the mixture can be maintained in the range of 40 to 80°C in the extruder heating section. The feed rate can be adjusted in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 kg / h depending on the extruder capacity and strand diameter.
[0265] According to some embodiments, the mixture can be formed into a long, continuous strand like taffy in an extruder. In the continuous strand forming step, the mixture can be drawn out through an extruder die to a constant diameter. The surface temperature of the continuous strand can be rapidly lowered using a cooling conveyor or an air blower.
[0266] In some embodiments of the present invention, the extrusion conditions of the continuous strand can be adjusted to maintain a constant diameter and uniform density. The diameter of the extruder die can be set to a range of 5 to 20 mm, and the density of the strand can be adjusted according to the viscosity of the mixture and the extrusion speed. The pressure and temperature inside the extruder can be monitored in real time to ensure that the continuous strand is free from surface defects.
[0267] In some embodiments of the present invention, a continuous strand can be cut to a required length and stored in the form of fillets. The cutting step may involve using an automatic cutter to cut the strand to a length of 10 to 50 cm. After inspecting the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the cut fillets, they can be stored in a dedicated container.
[0268] According to some embodiments, the surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and storage conditions of the fillet can be managed during the cutting and storage stages. The surface quality of the fillet can be verified by visual inspection and a surface roughness measuring instrument. Dimensional accuracy can be managed using vernier calipers or automatic measuring equipment. Storage conditions can be maintained within the range of a temperature of 15 to 25°C and a relative humidity of 40 to 60% to minimize quality variation.
[0269] According to some embodiments, mold design and injection may be a core process for molding a coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin composite into a final shape. Mold design and injection can be a key step in determining the fluidity, curing characteristics, and surface quality of the composite. Mold design and injection can ensure dimensional stability and repeatability of the composite based on the precision of the metal outer die and silicone mold. Mold design and injection may include a series of process flows from injection of the composite mixture, bubble removal, curing, and demolding.
[0270] According to some embodiments, mold design and injection may include metal outer mold fabrication, silicon mold formation, composite material injection, and bubble removal steps. Mold design and injection can determine the external shape during the metal outer mold fabrication step and precisely replicate the internal shape during the silicon mold formation step. Mold design and injection can inject a mixture into the mold during the composite material injection step and minimize internal bubbles by utilizing vacuum or vibration during the bubble removal step. Mold design and injection can improve the quality of the final molded product by controlling process conditions such as temperature, time, and pressure at each step.
[0271] In some embodiments of the present invention, the production of a metal outer mold may be a process that determines the external shape of a silicon mold and influences molding quality and repeatability. The production of the metal outer mold can precisely realize the outer shape and dimensions of a park golf club head (100). The production of the metal outer mold can be designed to have sufficient rigidity and durability to prevent deformation during the curing and demolding of the silicon mold. The production of the metal outer mold minimizes wear and deformation due to repeated use, thereby enabling the production of a large number of molded products of the same quality.
[0272] According to some embodiments, the metal outer die manufacturing step may use aluminum or carbon steel as a material considering precision and machinability. If aluminum is used in the metal outer die manufacturing step, the heat dissipation effect can be enhanced due to its excellent lightness and thermal conductivity. If carbon steel is used in the metal outer die manufacturing step, it may be suitable for long-term repeated use due to its high wear resistance and strength. The metal outer die manufacturing step can manage dimensional errors to 0.05 mm or less by utilizing high-precision machining equipment such as CNC machining or electrical discharge machining.
[0273] In some embodiments of the present invention, the metal outer die manufacturing step may utilize high-precision machining equipment to ensure dimensional accuracy and repeatability during composite molding. The metal outer die manufacturing step may design the die machining path based on 3D CAD data. The metal outer die manufacturing step may verify quality through dimensional measurement and surface inspection after machining. The metal outer die manufacturing step may monitor the wear status of the cutting tool and the machining speed in real time to ensure machining precision.
[0274] In some embodiments of the present invention, the metal outer die manufacturing step may perform polishing to improve the quality and molding performance of the die. The metal outer die manufacturing step may remove fine scratches and machining marks from the die surface through polishing. The metal outer die manufacturing step may predict the surface quality of the molded product by measuring the surface roughness after polishing.
[0275] In some embodiments of the present invention, the metal outer mold manufacturing step may have a polishing roughness of 0.8 to 0.05 micrometers or less. If the surface roughness of the metal outer mold manufacturing step is set to 0.8 micrometers or less, the surface of the molded product can be made smooth. If the metal outer mold manufacturing step applies ultra-precision polishing at the 0.05 micrometer level, a molded product with excellent gloss can be obtained. Depending on the surface roughness of the metal outer mold manufacturing step, the replication precision of the silicone mold and the surface texture of the final composite head (100) may vary.
[0276] According to some embodiments, the metal outer die manufacturing step can be designed considering durability and lifespan due to repeated use. The metal outer die manufacturing step can extend the life of the die by applying a wear-resistant coating or surface hardening treatment. The metal outer die manufacturing step can introduce a structure that disperses heat and stress generated during the repeated hardening and demolding processes.
[0277] According to some embodiments, the metal outer mold manufacturing step may include a heat dissipation structure to effectively dissipate heat generated during molding. The metal outer mold manufacturing step may apply various heat dissipation structures, such as heat dissipation fins, heat dissipation holes, and the insertion of thermally conductive materials. Through the heat dissipation structure, the metal outer mold manufacturing step can maintain a constant internal mold temperature during the curing process. If the heat dissipation performance of the metal outer mold manufacturing step is improved, the curing speed and quality of the molded product can be maintained stably.
[0278] According to some embodiments, silicone mold forming may be a process of injecting silicone into a metal outer mold to produce an inner mold suitable for molding composites. Silicone mold forming can precisely replicate the internal shape of the metal outer mold, enabling the realization of detailed shapes during composite molding. The curing time for silicone mold forming can be controlled at room temperature or low temperature depending on the curing characteristics of the silicone. Silicone mold forming can ensure dimensional stability and ease of demolding of the mold after curing.
[0279] In some embodiments of the present invention, the silicone mold forming step may mix silicone molding agents (silicone agent A + agent B) for detailed shape replication. The silicone mold forming step may mix silicone agent A and agent B in a predetermined ratio to ensure that the curing reaction occurs uniformly. Since curing defects or mold deformation may occur if the mixing ratio is not accurate, an electronic scale or an automatic mixer may be used in the silicone mold forming step.
[0280] In some embodiments of the present invention, the silicone mold forming step can optimize curing characteristics by mixing silicone A and B according to the manufacturer's recommended ratio. The silicone mold forming step can control the hardness and flexibility of the mold by adhering to the mixing ratio suggested by the manufacturer (e.g., 10:1, 20:1, etc.). The silicone mold forming step can minimize bubble formation by injecting the mixture into a metal outer mold immediately after mixing. The durability and reusability of the mold may vary depending on the mixing ratio and curing conditions of the silicone mold forming step.
[0281] According to some embodiments, the silicone mold forming step may involve injecting the mixed silicone into a metal outer mold and then curing it at room temperature or a low temperature. The silicone mold forming step may increase the dimensional stability of the mold by maintaining the curing temperature at 20 to 30°C. If low-temperature curing is required, the curing speed of the silicone mold forming step may be controlled by utilizing a cooling device.
[0282] According to some embodiments, the silicone mold forming step can ensure dimensional stability and surface quality of the mold by controlling the curing time and temperature. The silicone mold forming step can minimize internal stress and shrinkage deformation of the mold by setting the curing time to a range of 6 to 24 hours. The silicone mold forming step can inspect the surface quality of the mold after curing to check for the presence of micro-defects or bubbles. The number of times the mold can be reused and its durability may vary depending on the curing conditions of the silicone mold forming step.
[0283] According to some embodiments, the silicon mold forming step can precisely replicate the fine shape of a metal outer mold. The silicon mold forming step can transfer the surface roughness and fine pattern of the metal outer mold directly to the silicon mold. To increase replication precision, the silicon mold forming step can inject silicon under vacuum.
[0284] According to some embodiments, the silicone mold forming step can accurately realize the detailed shape and surface texture of the head (100) during composite molding. The silicone mold forming step can realize various shapes, such as fine grooves, curved surfaces, and textures, inside the mold. The silicone mold forming step can prevent deformation or shrinkage of the mold during composite injection, thereby minimizing dimensional errors of the final molded product. The silicone mold forming step can enhance the design diversity and functionality of the park golf club head (100) through the replication of detailed shapes.
[0285] According to some embodiments, injection and bubble removal may be a process of injecting a composite mixture into a mold and minimizing internal bubbles to improve molding quality. In injection and bubble removal, the injection speed and pressure can be adjusted to ensure that the mixture is filled without gaps within the mold, taking into account the viscosity and fluidity of the composite mixture. Various methods, such as vacuum injection, vibrating tables, and the addition of defoaming agents, can be applied to suppress bubble formation. Since the presence of remaining bubbles may lead to a decrease in the strength of the molded product or surface defects, real-time monitoring and quality inspection may be performed in parallel.
[0286] In some embodiments of the present invention, the injection and bubble removal step may inject the finished mixture into a metal outer mold and a silicon mold structure. The injection and bubble removal step may create a vacuum inside the mold before injecting the mixture to block the inflow of air. The injection and bubble removal step may use a vacuum pump to lower the internal pressure of the mold to a level of 10 to 100 hPa.
[0287] According to some embodiments, the injection and bubble removal step may utilize a vacuum state to prevent the formation of bubbles. The injection and bubble removal step allows the composite material to uniformly fill all spaces within the mold using a vacuum injection method. When the injection and bubble removal step is performed under vacuum, microbubbles are naturally removed, which can improve the strength and surface quality of the molded product. The injection and bubble removal step can prevent shrinkage or deformation of the composite material by gradually restoring the internal pressure of the mold after vacuum injection.
[0288] In some embodiments of the present invention, the injection and bubble removal step can effectively remove bubbles within the mixture by utilizing a vibrating table. In the injection and bubble removal step, when the mold is placed on the vibrating table and injection is performed, bubbles within the mixture can rise to the top due to vibration. The injection and bubble removal step can be applied to composites of various viscosities by adjusting the vibration frequency and amplitude. In the injection and bubble removal step, a surface scraper or tweezers may be used to remove bubbles remaining on the mold surface after using the vibrating table.
[0289] According to some embodiments, the injection and bubble removal step can be managed to ensure that the composite material is filled without gaps by monitoring the filling rate within the mold in real time. The injection and bubble removal step can visually check the filling status using a transparent mold or an endoscope camera. If the filling rate is less than 95%, the injection and bubble removal step can perform additional injection to minimize empty space within the mold.
[0290] In some embodiments of the present invention, the injection and bubble removal step can prevent overfilling or underfilling to stably secure the dimensions and physical properties of the final molded product. The injection and bubble removal step can measure the injection amount using an electronic scale and adjust it to match the mold volume. The injection and bubble removal step can design an injection port and an exhaust port to prevent mold deformation or composite material leakage in the event of overfilling. The injection and bubble removal step can control the injection speed and pressure to prevent internal defects in the molded product in the event of underfilling.
[0291] According to some embodiments, curing, demolding, and post-processing may be key processes for securing the final physical properties and determining the appearance finish of a head (100) molded from coffee grounds powder and a synthetic resin composite. Curing, demolding, and post-processing may ultimately determine the mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and surface quality of the composite head (100). Curing, demolding, and post-processing may sequentially include a series of steps such as curing within a mold, demolding of a molded product, and CNC machining. Curing, demolding, and post-processing can minimize product quality variations by precisely controlling the temperature, time, and processing conditions at each step.
[0292] According to some embodiments, curing, demolding, and post-processing may include steps of curing the composite material within the mold, demolding the molded product, and ensuring dimensional and surface precision through CNC machining. In the curing step, the composite mixture can achieve final strength by undergoing a chemical or physical curing reaction within the mold. In the demolding step, the cured molded product can be separated from the mold without damage. In the CNC machining step, the appearance and assembly precision can be enhanced through various post-processing steps, such as planar machining, edge rounding, and dimensional precision correction.
[0293] In some embodiments of the present invention, the curing process may be a step that enables the composite mixture to achieve final strength and dimensional stability within the mold. The curing process may involve the chemical bonding of the synthetic resin curing agent and the coffee grounds powder to form structural integrity of the composite. The mechanical properties and internal pore structure of the composite may vary depending on the temperature, humidity, and curing time within the mold during the curing process. The curing process may be applied by selecting between room temperature curing or thermal curing methods.
[0294] According to some embodiments, room temperature curing may be a method in which the composite material in the mold is left to cure at natural temperature for a certain period of time. In room temperature curing, the composite material may gradually cure for 12 to 48 hours at room temperature (e.g., 20 to 25°C). Room temperature curing does not require an external heat source, so energy consumption can be reduced.
[0295] According to some embodiments, room temperature curing may be applied when heat-sensitive additives or components with low heat resistance are included. For example, in the case of composites containing natural fiber reinforcements or antimicrobial additives, deterioration of the components can be prevented through the room temperature curing method. Room temperature curing may also be applied to composites containing weather-resistant additives or silane treatment agents.
[0296] In some embodiments of the present invention, thermal curing may be a method of applying external heat to a composite material in a mold to increase the curing speed and ensure uniformity of physical properties. Thermal curing may be performed by curing the composite material in an oven or a hot air blower at a temperature of 40 to 80°C for 2 to 6 hours. Thermal curing can promote the curing reaction to minimize internal pore formation or shrinkage deformation.
[0297] According to some embodiments, heat curing can be performed using various heat source equipment such as ovens, hot air blowers, and infrared heaters. For example, in a large-scale production process, a conveyor oven can be used to continuously cure the composite head (100). In a small-scale production, individual curing for each mold is possible using an infrared heater.
[0298] In some embodiments of the present invention, the time and temperature profiles of the curing process can be optimized according to the type of composite material, the mold material, and the thickness of the molded product. For example, the curing time may be extended for a head (100) with a thickness of 30 mm or more, and the temperature may be adjusted considering the thermal conductivity characteristics when the mold material is silicone. The time and temperature profiles may be set in stages to prevent the formation of bubbles or shrinkage deformation within the composite material.
[0299] In some embodiments of the present invention, curing time and temperature may affect the mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and internal pore formation of the composite material. For example, if the curing temperature is too high, the internal pores may expand excessively, which may reduce strength. If the curing time is insufficient, the curing of the synthetic resin may be incomplete, leading to dimensional errors.
[0300] In some embodiments of the present invention, the park golf club head may further include a heat curing step to improve strength, hardness, and weather resistance after natural curing. The heat curing step promotes cross-linking of the resin inside the molded body, thereby increasing surface hardness and mechanical strength, and improving dimensional stability against moisture and temperature changes.
[0301] The molded body, after natural curing is complete, can be transferred to a heat curing device. During this process, the molded body is stored at a temperature of 20 to 30°C and a relative humidity of 40 to 60% to prevent quality degradation caused by surface drying, contamination with foreign substances, oxidation, etc. During the transfer process, a sealed container or an automatic transfer system can be applied, and if necessary, nitrogen gas can be injected to suppress the adsorption of oxygen and moisture. In addition, temperature and humidity sensors can be installed to enable real-time monitoring.
[0302] In some embodiments, heat curing may be performed using a hot air method, an infrared method, or a combination thereof. The heat curing oven may include a chamber, a heating element, a multi-point temperature sensor, a circulation fan, and a controller, and may be controlled so that the deviation within the chamber from the target temperature is maintained within ±2 to 5°C. Heat curing conditions can generally be applied at a temperature of 100 to 140°C and a time of 2 to 6 hours, and may vary depending on the thickness, volume, and resin composition. For example, a head with a thickness of 20 mm may undergo heat curing at 120°C for 4 hours, a head with a thickness of 10 mm may undergo heat curing at 120°C for 2 hours, and a head with a thickness of 25 to 30 mm may undergo heat curing at 125 to 130°C for 5 to 6 hours. During heat curing, the circulation fan may disperse hot air upward, downward, and sideways to maintain a uniform internal temperature, and the temperature difference between areas may be corrected through the multi-point temperature sensor. In addition, for thick products, a ramp-up method that gradually increases the temperature can be applied to prevent internal stress or the recurrence of bubbles.
[0303] After heat curing is complete, surface hardness, mechanical strength, and weather resistance can be evaluated. Surface hardness can be measured using a Shore D hardness tester, and, for example, a level of 80 to 85 Shore D can be achieved. Mechanical strength can be verified through tensile tests, bending tests, impact tests, etc., and tensile strength can be achieved at a level of 40 to 50 MPa. Weather resistance can be evaluated through temperature and humidity cycle tests or UV tests, and, for example, no deformation or cracking can occur even in weather resistance tests of 500 hours or more.
[0304] In addition, the heat curing process can be optimized to improve productivity and energy efficiency. Since thin products can be sufficiently cured in a short time, unnecessary long curing times should be avoided, while for thick products, a time limit or a slightly higher temperature can be applied to ensure complete curing to the inside. For example, it may be appropriate to apply heat curing for 2 to 3 hours at 120°C for products with a thickness of 8 to 12 mm, for 3.5 to 4.5 hours at 120°C for products with a thickness of 15 to 22 mm, and for 5 to 6 hours at 125 to 130°C for products with a thickness of 25 to 30 mm.
[0305] Finally, after heat curing is complete, components are attached under specified torque conditions to ensure the fastening rigidity of the front reinforcement plate and the lower weight adjustment plate, and waterproof and UV-blocking coatings are applied to enhance durability against external environments. If necessary, the surface can be finely polished to improve the adhesion of the coating; through these processes, a park golf club head with improved durability, shock absorption, center of gravity stability, and weather resistance can ultimately be realized.
[0306] In some embodiments of the present invention, demolding may be a step of separating a cured composite head (100) from a mold to enable subsequent processing. In the demolding step, the separation direction and separation speed may be controlled according to the structure of the mold and the shape of the molded product. In demolding, a dedicated tool and a release agent may be used to prevent surface damage or deformation of the molded product.
[0307] According to some embodiments, silicone mold separation may be a process of carefully separating the cured composite head (100) from the silicone mold. The silicone mold has excellent elastic recovery, so even complex shapes of the molded product can be separated without damage. When separating the silicone mold, the outer edge of the mold can be slowly spread open to gradually separate the inner molded product.
[0308] In some embodiments of the present invention, the silicone mold separation can be designed to enable demolding without damaging the molded product by utilizing the elastic restoring force of the mold. For example, even if there are curved surfaces or undercuts inside the mold, the molded product can be safely separated by utilizing the elasticity of the silicone mold. The separation angle and force of the silicone mold separation can be adjusted considering the durability of the mold during repeated use.
[0309] In some embodiments of the present invention, the damage prevention procedure may include a work sequence and the application of tools to prevent surface scratching, edge breakage, and structural deformation of the composite head (100) during demolding. The damage prevention procedure may minimize adhesion between the molded product and the mold by applying a mold release agent in advance. The damage prevention procedure may separate the molded product with uniform force using a dedicated demolding tool.
[0310] In some embodiments of the present invention, damage prevention procedures may apply various methods, such as using a mold release agent, introducing a dedicated demolding device, or low-speed separation. For example, when demolding a curved section, the outer edge of the silicone mold can be pressed by hand while separating slowly. The low-speed separation method can prevent fine cracks or scratches from occurring on the surface of the molded product.
[0311] In some embodiments of the present invention, the initial quality inspection may be a step of checking the appearance, dimensions, surface defects, and presence of bubbles of the molded product immediately after demolding. The initial quality inspection may be performed through various methods, such as visual inspection, dimensional measurement, and surface tactile verification. The initial quality inspection can identify defects such as bubbles, cracks, deformation, and contamination at an early stage.
[0312] According to some embodiments, initial quality inspection can contribute to the early screening of defective products and the improvement of efficiency in subsequent processing steps. For example, molded parts with dimensional errors outside the acceptable range may be classified as subjects for separate correction or re-molding. If surface defects are detected, additional polishing or surface treatment processes may be applied.
[0313] According to some embodiments, CNC finishing may be a post-processing step to improve the external shape precision and surface quality of the demolded composite head (100). CNC finishing can precisely machine various parts of the composite head (100), such as flat surfaces, curved surfaces, and joints (103), using a 3-axis or 5-axis CNC machine. CNC finishing can finely adjust surface roughness and dimensional errors depending on the machining path and tool selection.
[0314] In some embodiments of the present invention, planar machining may be a process of precisely machining major planes, such as the bottom surface and top surface of the head (100), using CNC equipment. Planar machining can correct minute deformations or dimensional errors that may occur during the molding process. Planar machining can ensure flatness of parts requiring assembly, such as the shaft coupling part (103) and the weight adjustment plate (105) attachment part of the head (100).
[0315] In some embodiments of the present invention, planar processing can correct for minute deformations or dimensional errors that may occur during the molding process. For example, the flatness of the bottom surface can be adjusted to 0.1 mm or less to increase the adhesion of the weight adjustment plate (105). The verticality of the shaft coupling part (103) can be secured through planar processing of the top surface.
[0316] In some embodiments of the present invention, corner rounding may be a process of processing the corner portion of the head (100) into a curved or rounded shape to prevent breakage and improve grip. Corner rounding can be performed by using a CNC rounding cutter to process the corner to a certain radius (R value). Corner rounding can increase safety by removing sharpness from the part that comes into contact with the user's hand.
[0317] According to some embodiments, corner rounding can contribute to improving user safety and product durability. For example, the rounding radius of the lower corner can be set to 2 to 5 mm to reduce the risk of damage upon impact. Rounding of the upper corner can improve grip and reduce user fatigue.
[0318] According to some embodiments, dimensional precision correction may be a process of minimizing errors in key parts, such as the overall dimensions of the head (100), the position of the joint part (103), and the hole of the fastener (104), through CNC machining. Dimensional precision correction can be performed by using a 3D measuring instrument to check dimensional errors in real time after machining. Dimensional precision correction can ensure assembly precision by matching the position and size of the joint part (103) to within ±0.05 mm.
[0319] In some embodiments of the present invention, dimensional precision correction can ensure compatibility with the shaft coupling part (103), weight adjustment plate (105) attachment part, etc., during final assembly. For example, the inner diameter of the shaft coupling part (103) can be machined to 12.0 ± 0.05 mm to maintain a constant coupling force with the shaft (120). The position of the fastening member (104) of the weight adjustment plate (105) attachment part can be aligned within ±0.1 mm to minimize errors during repeated assembly.
[0320] According to some embodiments, component attachment and surface coating may be post-processing steps to improve the durability, functionality, and appearance quality of the composite head (100). Component attachment and surface coating can increase the mechanical strength and weather resistance of the composite head (100). Component attachment and surface coating can maintain the uniform appearance quality of the head (100) and prevent damage or deformation that may occur during use. Component attachment and surface coating can expand the functional characteristics of the composite head (100) in various ways through the application of a front reinforcing plate (102), a lower weight adjustment plate (105), and a waterproof and UV-blocking coating layer.
[0321] In some embodiments of the present invention, component attachment and surface coating may include steps of attaching a front reinforcing plate (102), installing a lower weight adjustment plate (105), and forming a waterproof and UV-blocking coating layer. Separate work processes and quality control procedures may be applied to each step of component attachment and surface coating. For example, the attachment of the front reinforcing plate (102) may proceed in the order of applying adhesive, position alignment, compression and curing, insertion of a fastener (104), and quality check. The installation of the lower weight adjustment plate (105) may include steps of inserting a fastener (104), torque management, and position adjustment. The formation of a waterproof and UV-blocking coating layer may be performed in the order of selecting a coating agent, spraying or application, curing, and polishing.
[0322] According to some embodiments, the attachment of the front reinforcing plate (102) may be a process of attaching a reinforcing plate to the front of the head (100) to reinforce shock absorption and rebound force. The attachment of the front reinforcing plate (102) can disperse the impact energy generated during striking by precisely placing the reinforcing plate at a designated location on the front of the head (100). The characteristics of shock absorption and rebound force may vary depending on the material, thickness, and attachment method of the reinforcing plate. For example, the reinforcing plate may be designed as a flat plate structure covering the entire front of the head (100) to minimize deformation of the hitting surface and increase rebound force.
[0323] According to some embodiments, the front reinforcing plate (102) may be attached by applying a carbon fiber plate with a thickness of 6 to 8 mm and attaching it detachably using an adhesive and a fastener (104). The front reinforcing plate (102) may be attached by applying epoxy adhesive and then pressing the reinforcing plate against the front surface of the head (100) to secure it in the first place. The front reinforcing plate (102) may be attached by secondarily forming a mechanical connection by inserting a fastener (104), such as a bolt, screw, or pin. The front reinforcing plate (102) may be designed so that the position and number of fasteners (104) are adjusted to facilitate easy attachment and replacement of the reinforcing plate.
[0324] According to some embodiments, the position alignment of the front reinforcing plate (102) may be a step of accurately aligning the reinforcing plate to a designated attachment position on the front of the head (100). The position alignment of the front reinforcing plate (102) may be aligned so that the plane of the reinforcing plate is parallel to the reference plane on the front of the head (100). The position alignment of the front reinforcing plate (102) may minimize errors by utilizing auxiliary tools such as position marking lines, guide pins, and alignment jigs.
[0325] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the position alignment step, the plane of the reinforcing plate and the reference plane of the front of the head (100) can be aligned. In the position alignment step, the position can be adjusted so that the center point of the reinforcing plate and the center point of the front of the head (100) coincide. In the position alignment step, the edge of the reinforcing plate and the boundary line of the front of the head (100) can be precisely positioned so that they maintain a constant distance.
[0326] In some embodiments of the present invention, the compression and curing step may be a process of pressing the reinforcing plate against the head (100) and applying pressure to ensure that the adhesive is completely cured. The compression and curing step may maintain a constant thickness of the adhesive by applying uniform pressure to the front reinforcing plate (102). The compression and curing step may maintain the state in which the reinforcing plate and the head (100) are in close contact for a certain period of time using dedicated press equipment or a clamp.
[0327] In some embodiments of the present invention, compression and curing can secure bonding strength by controlling the curing time and temperature of the epoxy adhesive. Compression and curing can obtain optimal bonding strength by maintaining the curing temperature of the epoxy adhesive at 20 to 30°C and setting the curing time to 6 to 24 hours. Compression and curing can minimize the occurrence of defects at the adhesive interface by preventing external vibrations or shocks during the curing process.
[0328] According to some embodiments, the quality verification step may be a procedure for inspecting the attachment status, positional accuracy, bonding strength, and the presence of surface defects of the reinforcing plate. The quality verification step may measure the positional error of the reinforcing plate to verify whether it is within the allowable tolerance. The quality verification step may evaluate whether the bonding strength is greater than or equal to a reference value by measuring it with a tensile testing machine or a torque gauge. The quality verification step may check for surface defects using visual inspection or a magnifying glass.
[0329] According to some embodiments, quality verification may include non-destructive testing, visual inspection, and checking the fastening status of the fastener (104). Quality verification may diagnose internal defects by utilizing non-destructive testing equipment such as ultrasonic testing and infrared thermal imaging. Quality verification can ensure durability during repeated use by checking the fastening torque and loosening status of the fastener (104).
[0330] According to some embodiments, the installation of the lower weight adjustment plate (105) may be a process of attaching a weight adjustment plate (105) to the lower part of the head (100) to adjust the center of gravity. The installation of the lower weight adjustment plate (105) involves inserting the weight adjustment plate (105) into a designated fastening groove on the lower part of the head (100) to adjust the overall center of gravity to suit the user's swing style. The balance and feel of the head (100) may vary depending on the material, thickness, and position of the weight adjustment plate (105). For example, the weight adjustment plate (105) may be made of metal or a composite material and attached parallel to the lower part of the head (100).
[0331] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower weight adjustment plate (105) has a plurality of fastening grooves and can be installed to allow adjustment of the center of gravity by changing the position of the front and rear. The lower weight adjustment plate (105) can be moved forward or backward according to the position of the fastening grooves to finely adjust the center of gravity. The lower weight adjustment plate (105) can be repeatedly installed and removed at various positions according to the user's requirements. The lower weight adjustment plate (105) can be designed to maintain fastening rigidity even during repeated adjustments by adjusting the tightening strength of the fastening member (104).
[0332] According to some embodiments, the fastener (104) insertion step may be a procedure for inserting a fastener (104), such as a bolt, screw, or pin, to secure the weight adjustment plate (105) to the lower part of the head (100). The fastener (104) insertion step may be performed by aligning the fastener (104) hole of the weight adjustment plate (105) with the fastening groove of the lower part of the head (100) so that they exactly match, and then inserting the fastener (104). The fastening strength and durability of the fastener (104) insertion step may vary depending on the specifications, material, and insertion depth of the fastener (104).
[0333] According to some embodiments, the insertion of the fastener (104) can be performed by aligning the position of the fastening groove with the direction of the weight adjustment plate (105). The insertion of the fastener (104) can be performed by adjusting the front-rear direction of the weight adjustment plate (105) to the user's requirements, and then inserting the fastener (104) into the selected fastening groove to secure it. The insertion of the fastener (104) can be performed by managing the insertion sequence and torque of the fastener (104) so that the weight adjustment plate (105) is secured without shaking.
[0334] In some embodiments of the present invention, the torque management step may be a process of tightening the fastener (104) to a predetermined torque to maintain a constant fastening strength. The torque management step may use a torque wrench to tighten the fastener (104) to a specified torque value (e.g., 1.5 to 3.0 Nm). The torque management step prevents excessive tightening or loosening of the fastener (104), thereby ensuring durability during repeated adjustment of the weight adjustment plate (105).
[0335] According to some embodiments, torque management can ensure durability during repeated adjustments and prevent loosening of the fastener (104). In torque management, an anti-loosening washer or locking nut is applied to the fastener (104) to prevent loosening caused by vibration or shock during use. Torque management can be managed so that the fastening force of the fastener (104) remains constant even after repeated position adjustments.
[0336] According to some embodiments, the position adjustment step may be a procedure for setting the center of gravity by adjusting the front and rear positions of the weight adjustment plate (105) to suit the user's requirements. The position adjustment step may selectively fix the weight adjustment plate (105) to a front or rear fastening groove to move the center of gravity of the head (100) forward or backward. The position adjustment step may customize the center of gravity position according to the user's swing style, body type, and preferences.
[0337] According to some embodiments, position adjustment can be achieved by fixing the weight adjustment plate (105) to a selected position among a plurality of fastening grooves. Position adjustment can be performed by releasing the fastener (104), moving the weight adjustment plate (105) to a desired fastening groove position, and fixing it again. A wear-resistant material may be applied to the position adjustment to minimize wear on the fastener (104) and the fastening groove even with repeated adjustments.
[0338] According to some embodiments, the formation of a waterproof and UV coating layer may be a process of forming a coating layer on the surface of the head (100) that provides waterproof and UV blocking functions. The formation of a waterproof and UV coating layer can prevent discoloration, deterioration, and surface damage caused by moisture penetration and UV exposure to the surface of the head (100). The level of durability and gloss of the waterproof and UV coating layer may vary depending on the type of coating agent, the thickness of application, and the curing method. For example, the waterproof and UV coating layer can be formed by applying various coating agents such as epoxy, lacquer, and polyurethane to achieve protective performance suitable for the usage environment of the head (100).
[0339] According to some embodiments, epoxy or lacquer may be applied to the surface of the head (100) to provide water resistance, weather resistance, and UV protection. The epoxy coating may form a transparent or translucent coating layer, thereby increasing water resistance while maintaining the surface texture and color of the head (100). The lacquer coating may utilize the characteristics of natural materials to ensure both eco-friendliness and durability.
[0340] In some embodiments of the present invention, the choice between epoxy or lacquer may be determined based on the required durability, gloss, and eco-friendliness. For example, an epoxy coating may be applied if a high-gloss finish is required, and lacquer may be selected if eco-friendly certification is required. The application thickness and curing conditions of the epoxy or lacquer may have a direct effect on the final surface quality.
[0341] According to some embodiments, the spraying and coating methods may utilize various techniques such as spray spraying, brush application, and roller application to form a uniform coating layer. The spraying method allows for precise control of the thickness and uniformity of the coating layer using automated equipment during mass production. The brush application method can be applied to small-batch production or to a head (100) with a complex shape to apply the coating agent even to fine parts.
[0342] According to some embodiments, the spraying and coating methods can be optimized according to the shape, surface condition, and production scale of the head (100). For example, a spraying method can be applied to a head (100) with many curved surfaces to minimize variations in the thickness of the coating layer. A roller coating method can be applied to a head (100) with many flat surfaces to increase productivity.
[0343] In some embodiments of the present invention, the curing and polishing step may be a procedure in which the applied coating layer is completely cured to ensure surface durability and gloss. The curing and polishing step may cure the coating layer in various ways, such as natural drying, heat curing, or UV curing. The curing and polishing step may prevent surface defects of the coating layer by precisely controlling the curing time, temperature, and humidity conditions.
[0344] According to some embodiments, curing and polishing can be performed in various ways, such as natural drying, heat curing, and UV curing. For example, the epoxy coating can be naturally dried for 12 to 24 hours at an indoor temperature of 20 to 30°C or heat cured for 2 to 4 hours in an oven at 40 to 60°C. The UV curing method can cure the coating layer within minutes using ultraviolet irradiation equipment.
[0345] According to some embodiments, the additional application of functional reinforcement may be a post-processing step to improve various performance characteristics, such as mechanical strength, durability, environmental stability, and acoustic properties, of the composite head (100). The additional application of functional reinforcement may be carried out as a separate process after the molding of the composite head (100) is completed. The additional application of functional reinforcement may be implemented by applying or inserting reinforcement, additives, or treatment agents onto the surface or interior of the composite head (100). For example, the additional application of functional reinforcement may include steps such as inserting natural fiber reinforcement, inserting glass fiber reinforcement, incorporating weather-resistant additives, applying silane treatment agents, and inserting acoustic property control structures. The additional application of functional reinforcement may change the values of tensile strength, moisture resistance, weather resistance, and acoustic properties of the composite head (100) depending on the type, input location, input amount, and treatment conditions of each reinforcement and additive. The additional application of functional reinforcement may be applied selectively depending on the usage environment, required performance, and manufacturing process of the composite head (100).
[0346] In some embodiments of the present invention, the additional application of functional and reinforcing materials may include steps for applying natural fiber reinforcing materials, glass fibers, weathering additives, silane treatment agents, and acoustic property control structures. The additional application of functional and reinforcing materials may include separate procedures for input, mixing, coating, insertion, curing, and quality inspection for each step. For example, natural fiber reinforcing materials may be input in a certain ratio during the step of mixing coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin. Glass fiber reinforcing materials may be inserted into the interior of the composite head (100) in a layered or mat form. Weathering additives may be uniformly mixed with the synthetic resin to increase resistance to moisture adsorption and temperature changes. Silane treatment agents may be sprayed or coated onto the surface of the composite head (100) to improve surface modification and moisture resistance. Acoustic property control structures may be implemented in various ways, such as internal space design, porous structure, and reinforcing material placement.
[0347] In some embodiments of the present invention, the head (100) may further include natural fiber reinforcement in addition to coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin. The natural fiber reinforcement may be composed of plant fibers such as hemp fiber, flax fiber, and bamboo fiber. The natural fiber reinforcement may be introduced in a certain ratio during the mixing stage of the coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin and may be uniformly dispersed inside the composite head (100). The natural fiber reinforcement may affect the tensile strength, shock absorption capacity, and durability of the composite head (100) depending on the fiber length, diameter, and orientation direction. For example, hemp fiber may be cut into lengths of 5 to 20 mm and mixed with the coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin. The natural fiber reinforcement can improve mechanical strength while minimizing the increase in weight of the composite head (100). The natural fiber reinforcement can simultaneously ensure eco-friendliness and renewableity.
[0348] In some embodiments of the present invention, the head (100) may further include glass fiber reinforcement in addition to coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin. The glass fiber reinforcement may be provided in the form of fine fibers or a mat. The glass fiber reinforcement may be inserted in a layered or dispersed form into the mixture of coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin. The glass fiber reinforcement can significantly improve the tensile strength, bending strength, and impact resistance of the composite head (100). For example, a glass fiber mat may be inserted into the interior of the composite head (100) with a thickness of 1 to 2 mm to increase the rigidity of the entire structure. The glass fiber reinforcement may also contribute to improving moisture resistance and weather resistance.
[0349] According to some embodiments, natural fiber reinforcement or glass fiber reinforcement can reinforce the tensile strength and durability of the composite head (100). The content of natural fiber reinforcement or glass fiber reinforcement can be adjusted to a range of 5 to 20% of the total weight of the composite head (100). Natural fiber reinforcement or glass fiber reinforcement can improve the fatigue durability of the composite head (100) against repeated impacts. For example, a composite head (100) containing natural fiber reinforcement can maintain structural stability without failure in 1,000 repeated impact tests. A composite head (100) containing glass fiber reinforcement can exhibit a fracture load 10% higher than 10% in a three-point bending test.
[0350] According to some embodiments, the head (100) may include a weathering additive to prevent deformation due to moisture and temperature changes. The weathering additive may consist of silicone-based, polyurethane-based, acrylic-based additives, etc. The weathering additive may be mixed with the synthetic resin and uniformly dispersed within the composite head (100). The weathering additive can suppress moisture adsorption and minimize expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. For example, the weathering additive may be added in a range of 2 to 10% of the total weight of the synthetic resin. The application of the weathering additive can prevent warping, cracking, and deformation during long-term use of the composite head (100).
[0351] According to some embodiments, the head (100) may be provided with moisture adsorption and surface modification effects by applying a silane treatment agent together with a weather-resistant additive. The silane treatment agent may consist of a silane coupling agent, a silane-based surface modifier, etc. The silane treatment agent may be applied to the surface of the composite head (100) by spraying, coating, or immersion. The silane treatment agent can improve the interfacial bonding strength between the coffee grounds powder and the synthetic resin, and increase moisture resistance by reducing the hydrophilicity of the surface. For example, the silane treatment agent may be applied to the surface of the composite head (100) with a thickness of 10 to 30 m. The application of the silane treatment agent can simultaneously improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the composite head (100).
[0352] According to some embodiments, the application of weathering additives and silane treatment agents can improve the moisture resistance, weather resistance, and long-term durability of the composite head (100). The application of weathering additives and silane treatment agents can maintain the weight gain rate of the composite head (100) at 1% or less in a 24-hour moisture absorption test. The application of weathering additives and silane treatment agents can maintain the original shape without structural deformation in a 1000-hour temperature and humidity cycle test. The application of weathering additives and silane treatment agents can ensure long-term durability in a repeated use environment.
[0353] According to some embodiments, the head (100) may include a structure with acoustic properties controlled to reduce impact sound upon striking. The acoustic property control structure can be implemented in various ways, such as the internal space design of the composite head (100), a porous structure, or the placement of reinforcing materials. The acoustic property control structure can control the propagation path and damping characteristics of the shock wave generated upon striking. For example, the impact sound can be dispersed by forming a porous region with a micro-cell structure inside. The acoustic property control structure can control the magnitude and timbre of the striking sound according to the surface thickness of the head (100), the internal partition, and the position of the reinforcing materials.
[0354] In some embodiments of the present invention, the acoustic characteristic control structure can adjust the volume and tone of the striking sound through internal space design, porous structure, and arrangement of reinforcing materials. The internal space design can change the resonance frequency of the impact sound by forming an air layer or a partition inside the head (100). The porous structure can absorb the impact sound by uniformly distributing fine pores with a size of 0.1 to 1 mm. The arrangement of reinforcing materials can tune the tone of the striking sound by adjusting the positions of the reinforcing plate, weight adjustment plate (105), and fiber reinforcing material. For example, adding a partition inside the head (100) can reduce low-frequency impact sound, and expanding the porous structure can reduce high-frequency noise. The acoustic characteristic control structure can customize the volume and tone of the striking sound according to the user's preference.
[0355] According to some embodiments, the park golf club head (100) may have a recyclable structure that can be crushed after use and fed into a remolding process. The park golf club head (100) is composed of coffee grounds powder, synthetic resin, reinforcing material, etc., so that it can be recycled as a raw material in the remolding process even after crushing. The recycling efficiency of the park golf club head (100) can be increased by crushing only the main body after detaching separable parts such as metal fasteners (104), reinforcing plates, and weight adjustment plates (105). For example, the park golf club head (100) can be crushed after use and fed back as a mixed raw material of coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin.
[0356] According to some embodiments, the post-use collection and crushing steps can be applied as essential procedures for eco-friendly resource circulation and waste reduction. The post-use collection and crushing steps can increase the recycling rate of the composite head (100) and reduce environmental pollution caused by landfilling or incineration. The post-use collection and crushing steps can be repeatedly applied within the resource circulation system to ensure environmental sustainability throughout the entire life cycle of the park golf club head (100). For example, the post-use collection and crushing steps can recover more than 1,000 composite heads (100) annually and convert more than 90% into recycled raw materials.
[0357] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cyclic remolding process may include a procedure for repeatedly applying a series of manufacturing steps, such as mixing coffee grounds powder and synthetic resin, molding, curing, and post-processing, using crushed composite head (100) as a raw material. The cyclic remolding process may crush and sieve the particles of the crushed composite head (100) to homogenize them to an average particle size of 50 to 500 micrometers. The cyclic remolding process may control viscosity and mixing uniformity by mixing synthetic resin, a curing agent, additives, etc., with the crushed particles in a certain ratio. The cyclic remolding process may inject the mixed raw material into a metal outer mold and a silicone mold, and remove air bubbles using vacuum injection or a vibrating table. The cyclic remolding process may complete the final product by curing the molded composite head (100) at room temperature or by a heat curing method, followed by demolding and CNC finishing. For example, the circular remolding process can be remolded by mixing 1 kg of crushed composite head (100) with 0.3 kg of epoxy resin, 0.03 kg of curing agent, and 0.02 kg of additive.
[0358] In some embodiments of the present invention, the circulating remolding process can ensure the quality of the recycled raw material by managing the particle size, moisture content, and mixing uniformity of the crushed composite head (100). The circulating remolding process can maintain consistency in molding quality by homogenizing the particle size distribution of the crushed particles to a relative standard deviation of 10% or less. The circulating remolding process can improve adhesion to the synthetic resin and curing quality by drying the moisture content of the crushed particles to 1% or less. The circulating remolding process can achieve uniform mixing of the raw material by controlling the stirring speed, time, temperature, etc., during the mixing step. For example, the circulating remolding process can mix the crushed particles by drying them at 120°C for 2 hours and then stirring at 200 rpm for 30 minutes.
[0359] According to some embodiments, the circular remolding process can be designed so that mechanical strength, durability, and surface quality are maintained even after repeated recycling. To prevent degradation of the quality of the recycled raw material, the circular remolding process may add additives, reinforcing materials, surface treatment agents, etc. The circular remolding process can verify whether key physical properties, such as tensile strength, shock absorption capacity, and surface roughness, meet design criteria even after repeated recycling. For example, the circular remolding process can maintain a tensile strength of 28 MPa or more and a surface roughness of 0.1 micrometer or less even after three repeated recyclings.
[0360] Although the embodiments have been described above with reference to the limited drawings, those skilled in the art can apply various technical modifications and variations based thereon. For example, suitable results may be achieved even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than described, and / or if the components of the described system, structure, device, circuit, etc. are combined or assembled in a form different from described, or replaced or substituted by other components or equivalents.
[0361] Therefore, other implementations, other embodiments, and equivalents to the claims also fall within the scope of the claims set forth below.
