Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a golf club head formed by plastically deforming a metal material. [0002] Golf clubs are composed of a head and a shaft, and are generally classified into three types: wood, iron and putter. As the name suggests, iron heads are generally made of various metallic materials including iron. Also, wood heads were previously made of wood such as persimmon, but in recent years, metal heads called metal woods have become mainstream. The metal golf club head manufacturing methods can be broadly divided into two methods, casting and forging. Of these, forging can provide a golf club head with higher strength than casting. Forging is a manufacturing method in which a metal round bar material is heated and plastically deformed by hitting with a press or hammer using a die to obtain a predetermined shape, but in a broad sense, a rolled metal plate is punched, The so-called deep drawing, in which it is formed by squeezing it, is also included. For example, when an iron-type head is manufactured by forging, a round bar as a material of the head is heated,
It is molded by hitting with a mold, but at this time, the surplus material becomes burrs. When the burr is large, the burr is removed using a punching die while the material of the head that has been launched is still hot. Normally, the head material is gradually brought close to the final shape by performing forging a plurality of times, but a large burr is generated in a relatively previous stage of the plurality of forgings. As the number of forgings progresses, as the head is closer to the final shape, the remaining material becomes less, that is, burrs become smaller. Conventionally, small burrs have been generally removed by polishing using an endless paper or by cutting machining. However, in the case of polishing using endless paper, since polishing is performed by a human hand, there is a problem that the burr shaving condition varies greatly by the operator, and the shape and weight of the head are not constant. Here, when variations in the shape and weight of the head occur, it is necessary to rework in a later process, resulting in an unnecessary increase in manufacturing cost. On the other hand, in the case of cutting machining, it is relatively easy to remove burrs from a flat face contour.
It is almost impossible in the hosel part and its rising part. Therefore, removal of burrs in the hosel part or its rising part has to be relied upon by polishing by human hands. Accordingly, the present invention provides a golf club head manufacturing method which solves the above problems and is formed by plastically deforming a metal material, and can remove burrs without variation in the shape and weight of the head. It aims at providing the manufacturing method of. According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a golf club head manufacturing method in which a face is formed on a front surface and a shaft mounting portion is formed on one side by plastic deformation of a metal material. A golf club head manufacturing method characterized by removing generated burrs using a laser processing machine. According to the structure of the first aspect, by setting the movement of the laser processing machine in advance, it is possible to obtain a constant shape and weight of the head, and to remove all burrs in one step. Since it can be removed, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an iron type golf club as an example. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the iron-type golf club is composed of a head 1 and a shaft 2, and the head 1 is made of a metal material such as low carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy, etc. The face 3 is a hitting surface, the sole 4 is provided at the bottom, the heel 5 is provided at one side, the shaft mounting portion 6 for connecting the shaft 2 to the top of the heel 5, the top 7 at the top, and the other side. Are each formed with a tow 8. Further, a recess 9 called a cavity or the like is formed on the back surface of the head 1 so as to substantially face the face 3. The recess 9 has an upper peripheral surface 10 on the inner upper portion of the inner back body 9A, a lower peripheral surface 11 formed on the inner lower portion with a sole 4 and a thickness h,
One side peripheral surface 12 and the other side peripheral surface 13 are formed on one side and the other side of the inner side. Reference numeral 14 denotes a transverse groove called a score line formed on the face 3. Furthermore, the back body 9A
A laterally small protrusion 15 is formed at the center of the skirt to improve the aesthetics of the design. In addition, the back body 9 of the lower peripheral surface 11
Grooves 16 are formed from one side peripheral surface 12 to the other side peripheral surface 13 near A. Next, a method for manufacturing the head 1 will be described. In the raw material process, a round bar (not shown) made of a metal material such as low carbon steel, stainless steel, or titanium alloy is cut into a predetermined length to form a round bar material as a raw material. Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this round bar material is heated to form a head main body 1A by a hot forging process. In this forging process,
Since it is difficult to form the head 1 by one processing, in detail, roll processing, rough punching, medium punching, and finishing punching with the upper die 15 as one die and the lower die 16 as the other die are performed. . In this way, by forging in multiple times,
The material of the head is gradually plastically deformed and gradually extended to approach the final shape. In addition, rough hitting, medium hitting,
For finishing, dedicated upper mold 15 and lower mold 16 respectively
Is used. Reference numeral 17 denotes a so-called burr formed during forging. Since large burrs are formed in the first forging from a round bar material and in a relatively previous stage, the burrs are removed using a punching die while still hot. As the number of forgings progresses, the burr gradually becomes smaller as the head becomes closer to the final shape. After the final forging, the head 1A is placed on a receiving die (not shown), and all burrs 17 are cut and removed using a laser processing machine (not shown). The movement of the laser emitted from the laser processing machine is set in advance. In this forging process, the face corresponding portion 3A and the sole corresponding to the face 3, the sole 4, the heel 5, the shaft mounting portion 6, the top 7, the toe 8 and the concave portion 9 of the head 1 which is a finished product, respectively. Part 4A, heel corresponding part 5A, shaft mounting part corresponding part 6A, top corresponding part 7
A, a toe corresponding part 8A, and a recessed part corresponding part 9 'are formed. The recessed portion corresponding portion 9 ′ is provided with an upper peripheral surface corresponding portion 10A, a sole corresponding portion 4A and a lower peripheral surface corresponding portion 11A having a thickness H, one side and the other side on the inner upper portion of the inner back body corresponding portion 9′A The one side peripheral surface corresponding part 12A and the other side peripheral surface corresponding part 13A are formed. The thickness H is formed larger than the thickness h. Next, the head body 1A formed by the forging process is cut. This cutting is appropriately selected according to the shape and design of the head 1 and the recess 9 of the final product. In detail, cutting with a tool, milling, etc. are performed. The embodiment shows a case where machining is performed by an end mill (not shown) which is a shank type milling cutter provided with cutting edges on the outer peripheral surface and the end surface.
As shown in FIG. 5, the back body 9A is formed by cutting the back body corresponding part 9′A and the lower peripheral surface corresponding part 11A to reduce the thickness of the face 3. A lower peripheral surface 11 is formed so as to reduce the thickness with the sole 4. The lower peripheral surface 11 is formed in an undercut shape so as to be hollowed out. That is, sole 4
About the thickness h between the lower peripheral surface 11 and the rear main body 9A side and the front end 11Z side, or the rear main body 9A
The side is formed to be smaller than the tip 11Z side. In addition,
During this cutting process, a small protrusion 15 is formed on the back body 9A, and a groove 16 is formed near the back body 9A of the lower peripheral surface 11. Thereafter, a finishing process is performed. The finishing process is surface polishing, formation of lateral grooves 14, and as shown in FIG. 4, drilling, reaming, engraving, and plating to form a hole 20 for mounting the lower end of the shaft 2 to the shaft center of the shaft mounting portion 6 is performed. Finishing the head 1 by processing, sand blasting, coloring, etc. As described above, in the embodiment described above, in the method of manufacturing the golf club head 1 in which the face 3 is formed on the front surface and the shaft mounting portion 6 is formed on one side by plastic deformation of the metal material, this occurs at the time of plastic deformation by forging. By removing the burrs 17 using a laser processing machine, it is possible to obtain a constant shape and weight of the head main body 1A by presetting the movement of the laser. Moreover, since all burrs 17 can be removed in a single process,
The cost for deleting 17 is about 4 to 5 times that of the prior art, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since the cut surface after removing the burr 17 is clean, the cutting machining can be performed on the basis of this cut surface. Therefore, since the shape and weight of the head main body 1A are stabilized, the subsequent steps can be performed as originally designed, and a stable product with little variation can be manufactured in mass production. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, although the plastic deformation has been described by taking the case of hot forging as an example, the plastic deformation is not limited to this and may be cold forging, cold pressing, or the like. The golf club head 1 is not limited to the iron type golf club, and may be a metal wood type golf club. further,
It is not necessary to form the small protrusion 15 and the groove 16 in the concave portion 9,
A protrusion having a size or shape different from that of the small protrusion 15 of the above embodiment may be formed, or a plurality of protrusions may be formed. According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a golf club head manufacturing method in which a face is formed on the front surface and a shaft mounting portion is formed on one side by plastic deformation of a metal material. A method for producing a golf club head, wherein the golf club head is removed using a laser processing machine,
By setting the movement of the laser processing machine in advance, it is possible to obtain a constant shape and weight of the head, and all burrs can be removed in one step, thus reducing the manufacturing cost. it can.
