Golf ball {Golf ball}

본 발명은 골프공에 관한 것으로, 특히 일출전 또는 일몰후 조명을 이용한 조명경기에 유용한 골프공에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a golf ball, and more particularly to a golf ball useful for lighting games using lighting before sunrise or after sunset.

골프공은 현재까지 여러 가지가 개발되어 사용되고 있는데, 그러한 골프공은합성섬유사, 고무 또는 합성수지제를 이용하여 적합한 사출공정을 통해 제조되고 있다. 이러한 골프공은 표면을 백색으로 착색하여 타격후 타구의 방향 또는 착지 위치확인이 용이하도록하고 있다.Golf balls have been developed and used to date, such golf balls are manufactured through a suitable injection process using synthetic fiber yarn, rubber or synthetic resin. The golf ball is colored in white to facilitate the direction or landing position of the ball after hitting.

그런데 이러한 골프공은 주로 주간용으로서, 조명을 이용한 경기, 즉 일출전이나 일몰후의 조명경기에서는 백색으로 착색된 골프공의 타구 방향 식별이 용이하지 않았으며, 더 나아가 골프공의 착지 위치 확인이 용이하지 않았고, 필드를 다소 벗어나는 경우 골프공을 잃어버리고 있는 것이다.However, these golf balls are mainly used for daytime, and it is not easy to identify the batting direction of the golf ball colored in white in a game using lighting, that is, before sunrise or after sunset, and furthermore, it is easy to check the landing position of the golf ball. If you do not, and you are off the field somewhat, you are losing a golf ball.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 사정을 고려하여 이루어진 것으로, 본 발명은 골프공에 발광수단 또는 음성발생수단을 갖추므로서, 조명경기시 타구의 방향을 정확히 식별할 수 있고 착지위치를 광 또는 음성신호에 의해서 용이하게 확인케하여 골프공의 분실을 완전히 제거할 수 있도록한 골프공을 제공하는 것이다.The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and the present invention is provided with a light emitting means or a sound generating means in the golf ball, it is possible to accurately identify the direction of the hitting ball during the lighting game and the landing position to the light or voice signal By making it easy to check by providing a golf ball that can be completely eliminated the loss of the golf ball.

이러한 본 발명의 목적은 골프공을 제공함에 의해 달성되게 되는데, 이 골프공은 합성수지 및 고무등으로 이루어지는 피복층으로 감싸여진 골프공에 있어서, 상기 골프공내에 배터리에 의해 구동되며 타이머를 포함하는 제어회로부와; 상기 제어회로부와 연결되고 타격에 의한 충격을 감지하는 충격감지부와; 상기 제어회로부와 연결되고 충격감지부에서 감지된 충격신호를 받아 구동하는 제어회로부의 출력신호에 의해서 점멸되는 적어도 하나이상의 발광부; 및, 상기 제어회로부와 연결되고 충격감지부에서 감지된 충격신호를 받아 구동하는 제어회로부의 출력신호에 의해서 음성신호를 발생시키게 하는 음성발생부를 포함하여서, 상기 골프공에 타격이 가해지면 그 타격력에 의해 발광부가 점멸됨과 동시에 음성신호를 발하게하여서 골프공의 타구방향이 광에 의해 용이하게 식별되며, 착지된 위치를 광 또는 음성신호에 의해서 용이하게 확인될 수 있게 된다.The object of the present invention is achieved by providing a golf ball, the golf ball is a golf ball wrapped in a coating layer made of synthetic resin, rubber, etc., the control circuit portion is driven by a battery in the golf ball and includes a timer Wow; An impact sensing unit connected to the control circuit unit and sensing an impact caused by a hit; At least one light emitting unit connected to the control circuit unit and blinking by an output signal of the control circuit unit which receives and drives the shock signal detected by the shock detection unit; And a voice generating unit connected to the control circuit unit and generating a voice signal by an output signal of the control circuit unit which receives and receives the shock signal sensed by the shock detection unit.

다음 본 발명의 일실시예를 도면에 의거하여 구체적으로 설명하겠다. 도 1에는 본 발명에 따른 골프공에 대해 상세히 도시되어 있다. 본 발명 골프공은 그 외주위를 통상에서와 같이 합성섬유사 또는 고무등의 합성수제를 이용하여 피복층(10)으로 감싸여져 있다. 이렇게 피복층(10)으로 감싸여진 내부에 배터리에 의해 구동하는제어회로부(12)를 내장시키고, 이 제어회로부(12)에는 타격을 감지하는 충격감지부(14)가 연결되며, 또한 적어도 하나이상의 발광부(16)가 연결되는데, 발광부(16)는 점멸등으로서 충격감지부(14)의 타격감지신호에 의한 제어회로부(12)의 출력신호에 의해서 점등되며, 그 발광부(16)는 제어회로부(12)내의 타이머에 의해서 임의적이고 선택적인 설정시간내에서 점등되었다 소등 되게 한다.Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is shown in detail for the golf ball according to the present invention. The golf ball of the present invention is wrapped around its outer circumference with a coating layer 10 using synthetic fibers such as synthetic fibers or rubber as usual. The control circuit part 12 driven by the battery is embedded in the inside covered with the coating layer 10, and the control circuit part 12 is connected with an impact sensing part 14 for detecting a hit and at least one light emission. The unit 16 is connected, and the light emitting unit 16 is turned on by the output signal of the control circuit unit 12 by the blow detection signal of the impact detecting unit 14 as a flashing light, and the light emitting unit 16 is the control circuit unit. The timer in (12) is to be turned on and off within an optional and optional set time.

또 제어회로부(12)에는 부가적으로 음성발생부(18)를 더 연결할 수 있다. 이 음성발생부(18)는 충격감지부(14)의 신호에 의한 회로제어부(12)의 출력신호에 의해 구동되는데, 이때 음성발생부(18)는 그 구동, 즉 음성발생시간을 선택적으로 조절할 수 있을 것이다, 예를 들어 골프공이 타격에 의해 날아가는시간, 다시설명하면 발광부(16)의 점등과 동시에 구동되게 할 수 도 있을 것이고, 또는 발광부(16)가 소등이 완료된 후 구동되게 할 수 도 있을 것이다. 이러한 음성발생부(18)의 구동은 선택적으로 이용할 수 있다.In addition, the control circuit unit 12 may be further connected to the sound generating unit 18. The voice generator 18 is driven by the output signal of the circuit controller 12 by the signal of the shock detector 14, in which the voice generator 18 selectively adjusts the driving, that is, the voice generation time. For example, the time the golf ball is blown off by hitting, in other words, may be driven simultaneously with the lighting of the light emitting unit 16, or the light emitting unit 16 may be driven after the light is completed. There will be. The driving of the voice generator 18 can be selectively used.

이러한 제어회로부(12), 충격감지부(14), 발광부(18) 그리고, 음성발생부(18)들은 골프공의 피복층(10)내에 장치되는데, 발광부(18)의 광원은 불투명한 재질로 이루어지는 피복층(10)의 일부분에 발광부(16)로부터 피복층(10) 표리면에 걸쳐져 갖춘 투광부분(20)를 통하여 광원을 외부로 방출시키게 하였다.The control circuit unit 12, the impact detecting unit 14, the light emitting unit 18, and the sound generating unit 18 is installed in the coating layer 10 of the golf ball, the light source of the light emitting unit 18 is an opaque material The light source was emitted to the outside through the light-transmitting portion 20 provided in a portion of the coating layer 10 formed from the light emitting portion 16 to the front and back surfaces of the coating layer 10.

도 2에는 본 발명에 따른 골프공의 다른 실시예를 보이고 있다. 본 실시예에서는 골프공의 피복층(10)을 투명한 재질로 하여서 발광부(16)의 광원이 피복층을 통하여 직접 방출되게 한 것을 보이고 있다.Figure 2 shows another embodiment of a golf ball according to the present invention. In this embodiment, it is shown that the light source of the light emitting portion 16 is directly emitted through the coating layer by using the coating layer 10 of the golf ball as a transparent material.

그러면 본 발명 골프공의 효과에 관해 설명하면, 골프공에 타격력이 가해지면 충격감지부가 충격을 감지함과 동시에 제어회로부에서 발광부에 점등을 위한 출력신호를 인가하여서 발광부가 점등되게 된다. 이렇게 발광부가 점멸되면서 골프공이 날아가는 타구의 방향을 용이하게 식별할 수 있게 되는 것이고, 또 골프공이 착지시 그 위치를 발광부의 점멸작용에 의해 용이하게 확인하여 골프공의 분실을 완전히 방지할 수 있는 것이다.Then, the effect of the golf ball of the present invention, when the impact force is applied to the golf ball, the impact detection unit detects the shock and at the same time the output signal for the lighting to the light emitting unit in the control circuit unit is turned on the light emitting unit is turned on. As the light emitting part blinks, it is possible to easily identify the direction in which the golf ball flies. Also, when the golf ball lands, the position of the golf ball can be easily confirmed by the flashing action of the light emitting part to completely prevent the loss of the golf ball. .

또 본 발명은 골프공의 발광부 점등과 아울러, 음성발생부가 선택적으로 구동되게하여서 광원에 의해 식별은 물론이고, 청각으로도 타구의 방향 또는 착지의 위치를 확인할 수도 있게 하였다.In addition, the present invention enables the light emitting part of the golf ball to be turned on, and also allows the sound generating part to be selectively driven, thereby identifying the direction of the batting or the landing position not only by the light source but also by hearing.

이상에서와 같이 본 발명의 일실시예에 관해 설명하였으나, 본 발명은 이에 국한되지 않고 청구범위에 기재된 범위내에서 변경이 가능할 것이다.As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be changed within the scope of the claims.
