Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of basketball equipment technology, specifically to an adjustable electric cantilever basketball hoop. Background Technology

[0002] Basketball hoops are common sports equipment and are often found in various sports venues. Among them, mobile basketball hoops are most commonly used in indoor stadiums. However, when the basketball court is used for other purposes, personnel are needed to move these mobile basketball hoops. Although the bottom of mobile basketball hoops is basically equipped with sliding wheels, their large size still causes a lot of inconvenience for venue management personnel.

[0003] Based on this, existing technologies have solved the problem of storing basketball hoops without moving them; application number CN201420181231.2 discloses a suspended and retractable basketball hoop, which uses a swing arm to swing downward around the hinge point and hang down naturally, thereby lowering the basketball hoop for basketball games, or swinging upward to horizontally retract the basketball hoop, so as to make full use of the vertical space in the room; although it solves the problem of the inconvenience of moving existing basketball hoops, its suspended nature will also cause great inconvenience to maintenance personnel in the maintenance and repair of basketball hoops.

[0004] Since basketball backboards are generally about 3 meters off the ground, and the height of the basketball hoop and its supporting components is mostly above 4 meters, this height means that when maintenance personnel encounter wear and tear on the connecting parts between the backboard and the supporting rods, they can only use a lifting platform to raise the maintenance equipment and personnel to the height of the basketball hoop for repairs. This allows maintenance personnel to perform maintenance and repairs on the vulnerable parts and connecting parts of the basketball hoop. However, each maintenance and repair requires maintenance personnel to move and climb the lifting platform. If a certain type of maintenance equipment is forgotten, the maintenance personnel need to repeat the lifting operation. In addition, the height of the lifting operation also poses a certain degree of danger to the maintenance personnel.

[0005] Meanwhile, due to the limitation of the fixed length of the telescopic pole, the folded basketball hoop will have a large tilt angle after folding; it is also not conducive to the handling and relocation of the disassembled basketball hoop, causing inconvenience and wasting time for maintenance personnel.

[0006] To address this, an adjustable electric cantilever basketball hoop is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient way to maintain and repair the easily damaged parts of a basketball hoop.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0017] When the backboard width is greater than the distance of the straight rod, the fixing component is located in the middle of the fixing rod; the fixing component includes a rotating rod, a support rod, and a claw; the horizontally placed rotating rod is hinged to the middle of the fixing rod; one end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the L-shaped claw.

[0018] The surface of the claw is provided with a magnet; the opposite side of the claw clamping surface is provided with shock-absorbing cotton, and the surface of the shock-absorbing cotton is also provided with protrusions.

[0019] The translation assembly includes a drive shaft, a spur gear, a drive bevel gear, a screw, a driven bevel gear, and a driven shaft;

[0020] The drive shaft is horizontally disposed inside the bracket; the spur gear is sleeved on one end of the drive shaft; the spur gear meshes with the output end of the rotary motor; the rotary motor is a 100-150W brushless motor; the drive bevel gears are symmetrically disposed at the left and right ends of the drive shaft.

[0021] The screw is horizontally disposed inside the bracket; the screw, which is vertically placed on the drive shaft, is symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the drive shaft; the driven bevel gear is disposed at the top of the screw; the drive bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear;

[0022] The driven shaft, which is parallel to the drive shaft, has U-shaped grooves symmetrically arranged at its left and right ends, perpendicular to its central axis; the bottom of the U-shaped groove has a threaded groove; the screw is sleeved on the bottom of the U-shaped groove and engages with the threaded groove at the bottom; the driven shaft slides along the central axis of the screw; the middle part of the driven shaft is fixedly connected to the fixing rod of the linear drive component.

[0023] The driven shaft consists of a central bidirectional electric rod and two cylindrical rods at both ends; the two ends of the bidirectional electric rod are provided with rotating holes; one end of the cylindrical rod is set inside the rotating hole through a bearing.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] 1. The translation component inside the support frame of this invention can cooperate with the telescopic rod and the linear drive component to reduce the folding volume of the basketball hoop by moving the position of the driven shaft. This results in a low ground clearance after the folded basketball hoop is placed on the ground, allowing maintenance personnel to perform maintenance work without the need for climbing equipment, thus facilitating the maintenance and repair of this invention. Secondly, the backboard can also cooperate with the fixing component, which stabilizes the folded basketball hoop, improving the stability of the invention during the descent and maintenance process, and making it easier for maintenance personnel to maintain and repair this invention.

[0028] 2. The driven shaft of this invention utilizes U-shaped grooves at both ends, which allows it to remain in contact with the screw before the basketball hoop falls, enabling the screw's rotation to drive the driven shaft to translate. After the falling operation is completed, the rapid retraction of both ends of the driven shaft allows the driven shaft, linear drive components, and backboard to be quickly removed from the basketball hoop, improving the ease of maintenance of this invention.

[0029] 3. The return component of the present invention can smoothly slide the driven shaft into the translation assembly after maintenance and repair of the driven shaft and linear drive component that have been folded to the ground; this avoids the situation where the driven shaft cannot be aligned after being disassembled, thus improving the ease of use of the present invention.

[0039] Figures 1 to 8 This illustrates a first embodiment of an adjustable electric cantilever basketball hoop according to the present invention.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 2 The specific structure of this invention includes a support frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a translation component 4, a return component 5, a linear drive component 6, a backboard 7, a fixing component 3, and a telescopic rod 8. Straight rods 11 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the support frame 1. The two straight rods 11 are fixedly connected by a fixing rod 12 perpendicularly arranged to them, and the connection is achieved by welding. The vertically placed lifting mechanism 2 is symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of the straight rods 11. The lower part of the lifting mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the straight rods 11. The lifting mechanism 2 is used to raise and lower the support frame 1. The translation component 4 is located inside the support frame 1 and is used to drive the linear drive component 6 to move in a balanced manner along the direction of the straight rods 11. The linear drive component 6 is an electric telescopic rod, and the stroke of the linear drive component 6 is set to 2500mm. The fixed end of the linear drive component 6 is bolted to the translation component 4. The moving end of the linear drive component 6 is bolted to the backboard 7. The linear drive component 6 is used to adjust the horizontal height of the backboard 7.

[0041] Return components 5 are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the bracket 1 and are fixedly connected to the straight rod 11; return components 5 are used to provide positioning for the linear drive component 6; fixing component 3 is located at the end of the bracket 1 furthest from the backboard 7; fixing component 3 is used to fix the folded basketball hoop; telescopic rod 8 is an electric telescopic rod; one end of telescopic rod 8 is hinged to the middle of the fixing rod 12; the other end of the linear drive rod is hinged to the moving end of the translation component 4; telescopic rod 8 is used to drive the linear drive component 6 to extend and retract along its own length direction; telescopic rod 8 is an electric telescopic rod and is electrically connected to a control system.

[0042] Since cantilever basketball hoops are usually suspended in the air by connectors, when the connector at point 7 of the backboard is damaged, maintenance personnel need to carry out repairs in the air using a lifting platform. This is extremely inconvenient for maintenance personnel. In this case, the basketball hoop needs to be lifted to be placed stably on the ground to facilitate maintenance and repairs. This is also quite inconvenient for maintenance personnel.

[0043] Meanwhile, the original basketball hoop uses an inclined telescopic rod 8 to extend the support rod 31 connecting the backboard 7 at an angle, thereby completing the folding of the basketball hoop. Since the telescopic rod is mostly connected at the center of the support rod 31, and the telescopic rod has a minimum extension limit, the existing basketball hoop has a large folding angle. During the descent, it occupies a lot of space, which is not conducive to the descent and maintenance of the basketball hoop. Furthermore, during the descent, the folding part of the basketball hoop often shakes and may hit maintenance personnel or other equipment, posing a significant safety hazard to maintenance personnel.

[0044] When the backboard 7 needs repair, the control system extends the linear drive rod. This causes the moving end of the linear drive component 6 to slide downwards, raising the backboard 7 to a height easily accessible to the repair personnel. When the basketball hoop needs overall maintenance, the operator controls the translation component 4 to move the backboard 7 away from the linear drive rod. Then, the telescopic rod 8 retracts, and the control system stabilizes the free end of the backboard 7 using the fixing component 3. This completes the folding and fixing of the backboard 7 and its supporting components. Finally, the control system lowers the hoisting mechanism 2 until it reaches a height easily accessible to the repair personnel. Previously, repairing a basketball hoop required several minutes, sometimes even tens of minutes, to adjust the position of the hoist before the repair personnel could access the hoop. With this invention, only about one minute is needed for the basketball hoop to rise and fall, greatly increasing repair efficiency.

[0045] The above embodiments facilitate the maintenance and repair of easily worn areas such as the basketball backboard 7, its connections, and the basketball hoop's fixing points to the indoor environment. They also allow for adjustments to the height and horizontal position of the basketball hoop to accommodate users of different ages, enhancing the ease of use of the invention. Furthermore, by reducing the folding angle of the basketball hoop and fixing the backboard 7 after folding, maintenance personnel can easily perform maintenance and repairs on the invention.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention; to ensure that the basketball hoop does not sway while the lifting mechanism 2 extends; the lifting mechanism 2 includes a tension member 21 and a clamping assembly 22; the tension member 21 is an electric telescopic rod; the moving end of the tension member 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the clamping assembly 22 by welding; the tension member 21 is electrically connected to the control system; the clamping assembly 22 is used to clamp the straight rod 11 on the stabilizing bracket 1; during operation, when the basketball hoop of the present invention needs to be maintained for maintenance, the control system controls the tension member 21 to fall; during the fall of the basketball hoop, since tension members 21 are provided at all four corners of the basketball hoop, the basketball hoop fixed at the four corners can maintain a steady descent in horizontal height; thereby improving the working stability and convenience of the present invention.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 To reduce the impact of vibration on the clamping assembly 22 clamping the straight rod 11, the clamping assembly 22 includes a sleeve 221, a locking block 222, and a linear elastic element 223. The sleeve 221 has a sliding cavity along its central axis. The locking block 222 has a rectangular structure with a through hole in its middle. The locking block 222 slides up and down in the middle of the sliding cavity. The top and bottom of the locking block 222 are connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 221 through the linear elastic element 223. The linear elastic element 223 is a spring. After the tensioning member 21 pushes the clamping assembly 22 downward, the tensioning member 21 stops working. Then, the downward inertia of the basketball hoop will cause the clamping assembly 22 to continue to move downward. At this time, the tensioning member 21 will provide a pulling force to pull the clamping assembly 22 so that it will not continue to fall. As a result, the position where the clamping assembly 22 clamps the straight rod 11 will be impacted and vibrate. After a long time, this will cause loosening, which poses a safety hazard.

[0048] During operation, after the tensioning member 21 pushes the clamping assembly 22 downward and stops, the clamping assembly 22 continues to move downward due to inertia, at which time the locking block 222 continues to move downward. Then, the locking block 222 compresses the linear elastic member 223 at the bottom of the inner wall of the sleeve 221. Then, the linear elastic member 223 at the bottom rebounds, and the locking block 222 further squeezes the linear elastic member 223 at the top. Through the buffering of the spring, the straight rod 11 is prevented from directly impacting the inner wall of the sleeve 221, thereby improving the service life of the invention.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, to ensure the stability of the basketball hoop after folding with a smaller tilt, the fixing components 3 are symmetrically arranged on the straight rods 11 on the left and right sides of the support 1; the fixing components 3 include an inclined support rod 31, a rotating shaft 32, and a vertically arranged claw 33; the top of the support rod 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the straight rod 11 by welding; a motor is coaxially fixedly installed inside the support rod 31; the motor is a 50W brushless rotary motor; the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 32, which is electrically connected to the control system; the claw 33 The side cross-section is L-shaped; the top of the claw 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 32; the clamping surface of the claw 33 is provided with silicone cotton; the length of the claw 33 from the fixed rod 12 is equal to the movement of the translation component 4 and the height of the backboard 7 after the basketball hoop is folded from the fixed rod 12; during operation, the control system controls the motor inside the support rod 31 to rotate, and then the motor drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate in the horizontal direction, and finally the clamping surface of the claw 33 rotates to the bottom of the folded backboard 7; thereby stabilizing the backboard 7 after the basketball hoop is folded and improving the working stability of the invention.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, to ensure that the claw 33 of the present invention can hold the basketball hoop more stably after it is folded and deformed, a magnet is provided on the surface of the claw 33; shock-absorbing cotton is provided on the opposite side of the clamping surface of the claw 33, and the surface of the shock-absorbing cotton is also provided with protrusions; because during the disassembly process of the present invention, the linear drive component 6 needs to be folded to fit against the bracket 1; therefore, the magnet makes the claw 33 fit more tightly against the backboard 7; if it is not stabilized, the bracket 1 may slide due to the shaking of the overall structure during the fall; at the same time, the shock-absorbing cotton provided on the claw 33 can make the fixing component 3 serve as the support leg when the basketball hoop is folded and placed on the ground; thereby improving the working stability and maintenance convenience of the present invention.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 4 To reduce the volume of the basketball hoop after folding, the translation assembly 4 includes a drive shaft 41, a spur gear 42, a drive bevel gear 43, a screw 44, a driven bevel gear 45, and a driven shaft 46. The drive shaft 41 is horizontally positioned inside the bracket. The spur gear 42 is sleeved on one end of the drive shaft 41. The spur gear 42 meshes with the output end of the rotary motor. The rotary motor is a 100W brushless motor. The rotary motor is electrically connected to the control system. The drive bevel gear 43 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right ends of the drive shaft 41.

[0052] The screw 44 is horizontally installed inside the bracket; the screw 44, which is vertically placed with the drive shaft 41, is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the drive shaft 41; the top of the screw 44 is provided with a driven bevel gear 45; the drive bevel gear 43 meshes with the driven bevel gear 45; the driven shaft 46, which is parallel to the drive shaft 41, has symmetrically arranged U-shaped grooves 463 at its left and right ends, which are perpendicular to its central axis; the bottom of the U-shaped groove 463 is provided with a threaded groove; the screw 44 is sleeved on the bottom of the U-shaped groove 463 and meshes with the threaded groove at the bottom; the driven shaft 46 slides along the central axis of the screw 44; the middle part of the driven shaft 46 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 12 of the linear drive member 6.

[0053] During operation, since the linear drive 6 is connected to the driven shaft 46, the control system rotates the drive shaft 41, which meshes with the motor via gears, by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor. The rotation of the drive shaft 41 causes the drive bevel gear 43 sleeved on its outside to rotate. Since the driven bevel gear 45 sleeved on the screw 44 meshes with the drive bevel gear 43, the screws 44 on the left and right sides will rotate in opposite directions. At this time, the driven shaft 46, which has screws 44 sleeved at both ends, begins to slide along the central axis of the screw 44, i.e., the length direction of the bracket.

[0054] Therefore, with the telescopic rod 8 and the linear drive 6 having fixed lengths, the driven shaft 46 can expand the fixed connection point between the telescopic rod 8 and the linear drive 6 by moving away from the telescopic rod 8. At the same time, the above embodiment can also ensure that the driven shaft 46 translates along the length of the bracket and the angle remains horizontal. In addition, in the above embodiment, gravity will be distributed to the screws 44 and the drive shaft 41 on both sides, increasing the upper limit of the force.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figures 5 to 6 The driven shaft 46 is composed of a central bidirectional electric rod 461 and two cylindrical rods 462 at both ends; the two ends of the bidirectional electric rod 461 are provided with rotating holes; one end of the cylindrical rod 462 is set inside the rotating hole through a bearing.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure that the driven shaft 46 of the present invention can smoothly complete the return function after being folded, and the basketball hoop can accurately stop at the preset position, the return component 5 is a trapezoidal structure with a curved hypotenuse; the long right-angle side of the return component 5 is fixedly connected to the straight rod 11, and a first voltage pressure plate 51 is provided at the lowest end of its curved hypotenuse, which is electrically connected to the control system; the distance between the return components 5 at both ends of the bracket 1 is equal to the width of the linear drive component 6; if the return component 5 is provided, the position where the driven shaft 46 stops cannot be accurately controlled, which will damage the restoration of the basketball hoop after maintenance.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figures 1 to 2To prevent the moving rod from being affected by frictional resistance during the lifting and lowering process, second electric pressure plates 61 are provided on the top left and right sides of the linear drive component 6. The electric pressure plates are electrically connected to the control system. During operation, when the telescopic rod slides back and forth between the return components 5 at both ends of the frame, the second electric pressure plate 61 presses against the first electric pressure plate 51. At this time, the control system detects that the first electric pressure plate 51 is in contact with the second electric pressure plate 61. The control system then controls the bidirectional electric rod 461 to extend, so that the driven shaft 46 is sleeved on the screw 44.

[0058] The present invention also has a second embodiment; see [link to second embodiment]. Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, to ensure the stability of the basketball hoop with a smaller folding angle after folding, a fixing component 3 is disposed in the middle of the fixing rod 12; the fixing component 3 includes a rotating rod 34, a support rod 31, and a claw 33; the horizontally placed rotating rod 34 is hinged to the middle of the fixing rod 12; a horizontally placed motor is disposed inside the fixing rod 12, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 34 and electrically connected to the control system; one end of the support rod 31 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod 34 by bolts, and the other end is connected to an L-shaped... The fixed end of the claw 33 is fixedly connected; the clamping surface of the claw 33 is provided with silicone cotton; the length of the claw 33 from the fixed rod 12 is equal to the height of the backboard 7 from the fixed rod 12 after the translation component 4 moves and the basketball hoop is folded; during operation, the control system controls the rotating rod 34 to rotate around the central axis of the fixed rod 12 through the rotation of the motor; then the support rod 31 fixed on the rotating rod 34 rotates around the central axis of the rotating rod 34, thereby driving the claw 33 to rotate to the bottom of the backboard 7; thereby stabilizing the backboard 7 and improving the working stability of the invention.

[0059] Working principle:

[0060] When the backboard 7 needs repair, the control system extends the linear drive rod. This causes the moving end of the linear drive component 6 to slide downwards, raising and lowering the backboard 7 to a height easily accessible to maintenance personnel. When the basketball hoop as a whole needs maintenance, the control system first rotates the rotary motor, moving the linear drive component 6, fixed to the driven shaft 46, away from the linear drive rod. Then, the control system retracts the telescopic rod 8, controlling the fixing component 3 to stabilize the free end of the backboard 7 using the claw 33. This completes the folding and fixing of the backboard 7 and its supporting components. Finally, the control system lowers the lifting mechanism 2 until it reaches a height easily accessible to maintenance personnel.

[0061] At the same time, by controlling the two ends of the bidirectional electric rod 461 to shorten, the driven shaft 46 can be disengaged from the translation component 4, so that the driven shaft 46 can be folded to the ground around the hinge point with the telescopic rod 8 for maintenance; after maintenance, it can be folded back up, and at this time, the linear drive 6 can be inserted between the return components 5 at both ends of the frame for correction operation.

[0062] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
