Golf Putter Head with Variable Rigidity Hitting Face
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional golf putters exhibit low fault tolerance and stability due to inconsistencies in the hitting point, leading to varying ball speed and distance, which affects precise ball control.
Innovation Solution
A golf putter head design featuring a hitting face with a hitting unit that increases in rigidity from the middle section outwardly, providing a gradual increase in momentum and velocity, reducing distance loss and enhancing fault tolerance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional putter head with uniform hitting face is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the fault tolerance is low and ball control precision deteriorates due to hitting point inconsistencies
Solution Approach 1:
The hitting face is designed with varying rigidity across different regions. The middle section has lower rigidity to provide a larger effective hitting area and forgive off-center hits, while the toe and heel sections have higher rigidity to maintain structural stability. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction by improving fault tolerance through strategic rigidity distribution without requiring complete structural redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The hitting face is segmented into multiple regions with different rigidity characteristics. The middle section is separated from the toe and heel sections, each with optimized rigidity properties. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each region's performance, achieving high fault tolerance in the middle while maintaining overall structural integrity.
2Reliability
If the rigidity of the hitting unit is increased uniformly across the entire hitting face, then the structural stability improves, but the fault tolerance decreases because off-center hits result in greater distance variations
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the hitting face are assigned different rigidity values tailored to their specific functional requirements. The middle section uses lower rigidity to maximize forgiveness for off-center hits, while toe and heel sections use higher rigidity for structural support. This local differentiation simultaneously improves fault tolerance and maintains ball movement consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The rigidity parameter of the hitting unit is varied across different spatial locations rather than maintained uniformly. By changing the rigidity parameter from the middle section outward to the toe and heel sections, the design achieves optimal performance for both fault tolerance and ball movement consistency.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the middle section of the hitting face has high rigidity, then structural stability improves, but the effective hitting area decreases and fault tolerance is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The middle section of the hitting face is designed with lower rigidity specifically to maximize the effective hitting area and improve fault tolerance. The toe and heel sections compensate with higher rigidity to maintain overall structural stability. This local quality assignment resolves the contradiction by placing appropriate rigidity characteristics in the right locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The rigidity distribution across the hitting face is asymmetric, with the middle section having different rigidity properties compared to the toe and heel sections. This asymmetric design allows the middle section to prioritize fault tolerance while the perimeter sections prioritize structural stability.
