Description

Method for manufacturing golf club head

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method, in particular to a manufacturing method of a golf club head.

With the increase of users and the advancement of manufacturing technology, the appearance of golf club heads has been updated. In addition to the performance and feel when hitting the ball, it has also begun to add decorative appearance that does not affect performance, such as electroplating on golf club heads. In order to produce a shining visual effect, when processing the curved surface of the golf club head, in order to avoid the impact of electroplating, or to consider the overall design, the entire curved surface will not be the electroplated area, but the The curved surface is divided into electroplating area and non-electroplating area. At this time, the non-electroplating area is generally masked by spray painting, and then the entire surface is electroplated, so that electroplating will only be formed on the electroplated area of metal material, and finally the spray paint is removed It can ensure that the non-plated area is not electroplated to produce the desired visual effect.

However, the spraying and removal process of the spray paint masking is very time-consuming and laborious, and the efficiency is low, which is not conducive to mass production. Therefore, there is still great room for improvement.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a time-saving and labor-saving method for manufacturing a golf club head.

Therefore, the manufacturing method of the golf club head of the present invention includes a dividing step, a masking step, a plating step, and a removing step. In this dividing step, a plated area and a non-plated area are divided on a head body. In a shielding step, a magnetic shield is adsorbed on the head body, and the non-plated area is shielded. In this plating step, the head body is plated. In the removing step, the shielding member is removed, thereby manufacturing a golf club head.

The effect of the present invention is that the shielding element can be attracted to the non-plated area of the head body through magnetic attraction, so as to have a shielding effect on the non-plated area, so that the non-plated area will not be electroplated during the electroplating step. In the removal step, the shielding member can be removed by directly removing it. The loading and unloading is simple and the application is fast. The present invention eliminates the spraying and paint removal procedures, reduces manpower requirements and improves processing efficiency, thereby facilitating mass production. .

1 and 2, an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a golf club head of the present invention includes a dividing step 11, a masking step 12, an electroplating step 13, and a removing step 14. In the dividing step 11, a head body 2 to be electroplated is prepared. The head body 2 includes a housing 21 and a striking panel 22 connected to the housing 21. A plurality of linear grooves 221 arranged in an array are formed on the striking panel 22. The linear grooves 221 may be formed by engraving or etching, or may be integrally formed when the club head body 2 is cast, die-cast or forged. The head body 2 is divided into a plating area on the shell 21 and a non-plating area on the striking panel 22. It should be particularly noted that the aforementioned division may be to mark the boundary of the non-electroplating area by scribing or other marking methods, but it is also possible not to mark and only visually confirm the scope of the non-electroplating area.

1 and 3, in the shielding step 12, a magnetic shielding member 3 is prepared, the size of which is designed to cover the non-plated area (in this embodiment, the striking panel 22), and therefore the In the dividing step 11, there is no need to mark the club head body 2, as long as the outline and size of the shield 3 are designed. Then, the shielding member 3 is magnetically attracted to the striking panel 22 to shield the non-plating area. Of course, the club head body 2 or at least the striking panel 22 is made of ferromagnetic material. In the electroplating step 13, the entire head body 2 is electroplated. Due to the shielding of the shield 3, the electroplating effect is only produced on the electroplated area of the head body 2.

1 and 4, in the removing step 14, the shield 3 is removed from the striking panel 22, so as to produce a golf club head 4 as shown in FIG. 4, the golf club head 4 There is no electroplating effect on the striking panel 22, and an electroplating effect is produced on the casing 21. It should be particularly noted that although the striking panel 22 is used as the non-electroplating area and the housing 21 is used as the electroplating area in this embodiment, it is not limited to this in fact, and it can also be used in the club head according to actual needs. The main body 2 is divided into the electroplating area and the non-electroplating area, and even a plurality of non-electroplating areas. If this is the case, a plurality of shielding members 3 need to be used, and the same effect can be achieved.

In summary, the method for manufacturing the golf club head of the present invention achieves the shielding effect by adsorbing the shielding member 3 on the non-plated area. The disassembly and assembly are simple and labor-saving, can reduce the process and improve the processing efficiency, which is beneficial to a large number of Production system, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of the invention.

However, the above are only examples of the present invention. When the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited by this, all simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification still belong to This invention patent covers the scope.
