Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a golf ball, and more particularly to a golf ball that can emit light and can control a light emission time.

  In recent years, golf has become a national movement, and golf is a great option, especially for those who are not suitable for intense exercise. However, golf requires tracking and observing the direction in which the golf ball flew and the route of falling when it hits the golf ball, and there is a problem that it is difficult to know where the small ball has fallen.

  In order to solve this problem, many companies have proposed technical means for lighting various golf balls, for example, fluorescent balls and spheres containing light emitting elements. A fluorescent ball refers to a golf ball that adds a fluorescent material to the outer shell material of a golf ball and absorbs light to emit fluorescence. A sphere containing a light-emitting element refers to installing a light-emitting element with a brighter brightness inside the sphere.

  However, fluorescent balls are gradually not being adopted due to various limitations in use, and fluorescent balls need to absorb sunlight first before use in order to emit light due to the characteristics of fluorescence itself. However, since the luminance of the fluorescence is still insufficient, the golf ball jumping / falling route could not be easily traced / observed unless the outside was extremely dark. In particular, when hitting a long distance, it is difficult to observe the route of the ball.

  A sphere with a built-in light-emitting element can provide a golf ball with higher brightness, but the conventional one does not favor a power transmission method for the light-emitting element, leading to a situation where the amount of power is exhausted, and the service life is very short. It was. That is, this type of golf ball of the related art continued to emit light until it was exhausted until the amount of power of its built-in battery was exhausted. Some have increased the number of batteries to improve their service life, but in that case, the battery power cannot be used effectively due to poor power transmission design between the two batteries. Also occurred.

  Therefore, as described above, the sphere structure incorporating the conventional light emitting element has remarkably inconvenience and disadvantage in actual use, and it is expected to improve them.

  The inventor feels the above-mentioned defects that can be improved, and submits the present invention in which the design is rational and effective to remedy the above-mentioned defects in particular, in order to intensively study and cope with academic operations.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball structure in which the light emission time is controllable. The timer controls the actual lighting time of the light emitting element, so that the power of the battery in which the light emitting element cannot be replaced is changed. Eliminates constant consumption and improves service life.
A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball structure in which the light emission time is controllable so that only one battery in the battery pack transmits power to a timer (which controls the light emitting element). The amount of power consumed is greatly reduced and its service life is improved.

  A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball structure in which the light emission time can be controlled, and by providing a hopping control chip, the user can have various lighting modes when the light emitting element is turned on. Makes it easier to track and observe the route of jumping and falling.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a golf ball structure in which the light emission time is controllable, which encapsulates the light emitting module with a light-transmitting hard inner body having a colloidal shape, and further has a light-transmitting colloidal inner body. The light-transmitting hard inner body is covered with, and the light-transmitting colloidal inner body is covered with a spherical light-transmitting outer body. The light emitting module can control at least one light emitting element, and the light emitting module includes at least a timer, a battery pack, and vibration switching.

  The above-mentioned timer mainly keeps the light emitting element lit until the lighting time ends, and the battery pack includes a first battery and a second battery. The first battery can transmit power to the timer, and the first battery and the second battery can transmit power to the light emitting element. The vibration switching is used so that the first battery transmits power to the timer after receiving vibration, and the first battery and the second battery start transmitting power to the light emitting element, and the lighting time Power transmission is continued until

  In order to further understand the features and technical contents of the present invention, a detailed description of the present invention will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the attached drawings are only for reference and explanation. It is not intended to limit the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an already sealed translucent rigid inner body of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, in the golf ball structure of the present invention capable of controlling the light emission time, the light emitting module 2 is sealed by the light-transmitting hard inner body 1 having a colloidal shape. It is provided with a balancing hole 11 that is used to fix the overall position.

  The light emitting module 2 is mainly used to control at least one or more light emitting elements (for example, the LED lamp 22 shown in FIG. 1 and the LED lamp 26 shown in FIG. 2), and mainly a timer 23 on the circuit board 21 and vibration switching. The LED lamps 22 and 26 are controlled by the battery pack 25 and the battery pack 25.

  In short, the structure of the golf ball of which the light emission time is controllable according to the present invention is that the light emitting element (LED lamps 22, 26) is actually operated by the timer 23 based on the scheduled lighting time after the golf ball is hit. The lighting time of the battery is controlled so that the electric energy of the battery pack 25 in which the light emitting element cannot be replaced is not constantly consumed, and the service life of the battery pack 25 is improved. In the following, it will be described how the already sealed light-transmitting hard inner body 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is sealed to constitute a complete golf ball, and how the timer 23 and the like are formed. It will be described how the service life of the device is improved.

  Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a translucent hard internal body incorporating the light emitting module of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in the light emitting module 2, in addition to the circuit board 21, the LED lamp 22, the timer 23, the vibration switching 24 and the battery pack 25 in FIG. 1, the battery pack 25 includes the first battery 251 and the second battery 25. A battery 253, an insulating plate 252 sandwiched between the first battery 251 and the second battery 253, an insulating plate 254 sandwiched between the second battery 253 and the LED lamp 26, and The LED lamp 26 is installed on the insulating plate 254.

  In order to keep sealing the golf ball completely, wait until the light emitting module 2 is put into the translucent hard inner body 1, then pour colloid from the opening of the translucent hard inner body 1, and seal the light emitting module 2. To complete.

  Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a golf ball structure capable of controlling the light emission time according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, in the structure of the golf ball of the present invention in which the light emission time can be controlled, in addition to the light emitting module 2 of the light transmitting hard inner body 1, the light transmitting hard inner body 1 is formed by the light transmitting colloidal inner body 3. Is coated and the outer shape is spherical. Further, the translucent colloidal inner body 3 is covered with the spherical translucent outer body 4, thereby forming a complete golf ball.

  Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4C, FIGS. 4A to 4C are schematic views of the light emitting module of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4B, the light emitting module 2 of the present invention mainly includes a timer 23, a battery pack 25 (first battery 251 and second battery 253), vibration switching 24, and LED lamps 22 and 26 (light emission) in series with each other. Element), and a switching element 27 for protecting the timer 23. In the battery pack 25, the first battery 251 can transmit power to the timer 23, and the first battery 251 and the second battery 253 can transmit power to the light emitting element. Note that the switching element 27 shown in FIG. 4B is not necessary, and in that case, the circuit structure can be simplified as shown in FIG. 4A.

  After the golf ball is hit, due to the characteristics of the vibration switching 24 itself, the first battery 251 starts to transmit power to the timer 23 shortly after receiving the vibration, thereby starting the timer 23. After the timer 23 is started, counting is started based on the lighting time. At that time, if both the first battery 251 and the second battery 253 are button batteries capable of providing a direct current of 3V, a 6V series loop is formed via the timer 23, and the first battery 251 and the second battery 253 are connected to each other. The second battery 253 begins to transmit power to the light emitting elements, and the LED lamps 22 and 26 start to light. When waiting for the lighting time to end, the timer 23 interrupts power transmission to the light emitting elements of the first battery 251 and the second battery 253 in series, and the LED lamps 22 and 26 are turned off. It should be particularly noted that the vibration switching 24 belongs to a conventional element and is not described here in a stacked manner. When there are two or more light emitting elements, the LED lamps 22 and 26 can be connected in series as shown in FIG. 4A or in parallel connection as shown in FIG. 4C.

  The length of lighting time can be set according to the actual demand, that is, until the user finds a golf ball that has fallen on the ground at the time required for the golf ball to be hit and dropped. It can be set by adding the required time. Generally speaking, it is set to 10 minutes.

  In summary, the golf ball structure of the present invention capable of controlling the light emission time is such that only the single battery (that is, the first battery 251) turns on the light emitting element when the battery pack 25 has a series mechanism. Since power is transmitted to the timer 23 to be controlled, the consumed power amount of the battery pack 25 can be reduced and the service life thereof can be improved. Further, since the LED lamps 22 and 26 having high luminance emit light, the luminance does not decay with time, and the user can jump out of the golf ball even when the user hits a long distance. , You can easily track and observe the route of the fall.

  Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5D, FIGS. 5A to 5D are other schematic views of the light emitting module of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5A, the light emitting module 5 of the present invention similarly includes a timer 23, a battery pack 51, a vibration switching 24, LED lamps 22 and 26 (light emitting elements) and a switching element 27 in series with each other in the light emitting module 2. Including. However, the light emitting module 5 is slightly different from the light emitting module 2 with respect to the circuit connection method, that is, in the battery pack 51, two batteries are serially connected to each other and can simultaneously transmit power to the timer 23 and the light emitting element.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the light emitting module 5 according to the present invention has a more diversified lighting mode, so that the user can more easily track and observe the route of jumping and falling of the golf ball. Can further be included. The hopping control chip 52 is electrically connected to the LED lamps 22 and 26. Therefore, when power is transmitted to the LED lamps 22 and 26, power is transmitted to the hopping control chip 52 and activated at the same time.

  When the hopping control chip 52 is activated, two types of lighting modes are provided. That is, by outputting different waveforms to the light emitting elements, the light emitting elements (for example, LED lamps 22 and 26) generate various flicker / hopping dynamic light shadow changes. Alternatively, the light emitting elements generate different color changes by outputting different frequencies to the light emitting elements.

  In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the golf ball structure capable of controlling the light emission time of the present invention, the hopping control chip 52 and the timer 23 shown in FIG. 5B can be aligned with the single chip shown in FIG. 5C. In FIG. 5C, the hopping control chip 52 and timer 23 are matched to a single chip, but are still in electrical connection with the corresponding elements. Furthermore, more light emitting elements can be controlled by the hopping control chip 52, that is, as shown in FIG. 5D, the LED lamps 54a, 54b, 54c connected in excess may be controlled.
