The present disclosure relates to the field of baseball technologies, and in particular, to a rechargeable baseball core.
Whenever the general public needs sports, ball games are always one of the most important choices. Taking the baseball as an example, it is loved by the general public in both Asia and the United States, and the throwing and catching of baseball is simple and fun, which can achieve both sports and leisure effects. It is particularly suitable for leisure time between brothers, fathers, and friends at home. However, during the day, there is always a period of time for work and study. Therefore, unless it is a holiday, baseball is usually played at night or in the evening. In addition, for teams composed of ordinary amateur players, it is common to practice the ball until night, rendering the baseball with luminous characteristics very important.
At present, a baseball structure with luminous function includes a transparent inner ball and a covering material covering the surface of the inner ball to form a surface structure of the baseball. An outer peripheral surface of the inner ball is provided with a receiving space along a radial direction, and a luminous device is set in the receiving space to emit light from the baseball. The luminous device is penetrated through the receiving space and connected and fixed to the inner ball. The luminous device is equipped with a battery compartment, which is directly electrically connected to the luminous device.
Regarding the relevant technologies mentioned above, a direct electrical connection between the battery and the luminous device can easily lead to self-ignition of the battery. The flame generated by the self-ignition of the battery ignites the luminous device, and finally sprays out from the receiving space to ignite the entire baseball, which can cause greater losses.
In order to reduce the losses caused by battery self-ignition, the present application provides a rechargeable baseball core.

This improves a direct electrical connection between the battery and the luminous device, which can easily cause the flame generated by the self-ignition of the battery to ignite the luminous device when the battery self-ignites. Finally, it sprays out from a receiving space and ignites the entire baseball, which can easily cause greater losses. At the same time, when temperature in the battery chamber is too high, it is easy to melt wires that are electrical connection between the battery module and the luminous component, thereby achieving automatic power-off protection for overheating of the battery component, rendering it more user-friendly.

Thus, a connection position between the first reinforcing portion 1131 and the second reinforcing portion 1132 still plays an excellent structural strengthening role. At the same time, the providing of the reinforcing rib 113 greatly improves the strength of the housing 11, so that when the luminous ball 1 is impacted, the reinforcing rib 113 will share the pressure subjected by the surface housing 111 and the bottom housing 112, thereby providing additional structural strength for the surface housing 111 and the bottom housing 112, effectively preventing the housing 11 from disassembling under pressure, thus more stably and effectively protecting the luminous component 12 in the housing 11, avoiding damage to the luminous component 12 caused by collision or impact, and an internal space of the housing 11 is tightly matched. At the same time, the surface housing 111 and the bottom housing 112 are thicker, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 113 are added therein to achieve an effect that the product will not crack, and outside and the internal parts will not be easily damaged when subjected to force, this improvement greatly enhances the durability and endurance of the battery component 13, rendering it better suited for high-intensity sport demands, thereby extending the lifespan of baseball.

An implementation principle of the rechargeable baseball core in the present application is as follows: when the battery module 132 self-ignites due to being hit or vibrating, flame generated by the self-ignition of the battery module 132 is isolated by the battery shell 131 due to its fireproof characteristics, rendering it difficult for the flame generated by the self-ignition of the battery module 132 to ignite the battery shell 131 and continue to spread, thereby achieving a goal of preventing flame spread. This improves a direct electrical connection between the battery and the luminous device, which can easily cause the flame generated by the self-ignition of the battery to ignite the luminous device when the battery self-ignites, and finally spray out from a receiving space to ignite the entire baseball, which can easily cause greater losses. At the same time, when the temperature in the battery chamber is too high, it is easy to melt the wires that are electrical connecting the battery module 132 and the luminous component 12. Thereby achieving automatic power-off protection for overheating of the battery component 13.
The above are preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
