Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sports equipment technology, and in particular relates to a portable mobile hydrofoil starting platform. Background Technology

[0002] Current non-powered hydrofoils require a running start from a dock or a jump from a high platform to achieve starting speed; the beach, due to its different slope and hardness, often makes it impossible to complete a running start.

[0003] Due to its unique experience and environmentally friendly characteristics, non-powered hydrofoil sports have gradually gained attention from many water sports enthusiasts in recent years. Current non-powered hydrofoil launch methods mainly rely on a running start from a dock or a high platform jump to achieve sufficient speed to launch the hydrofoil. However, these methods are highly dependent on the terrain, limiting the popularization and development of hydrofoil sports. Especially in natural water environments such as beaches, the slope and hardness of the ground are difficult to control, making traditional launch methods often difficult to implement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable mobile hydrofoil launch platform to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A portable mobile hydrofoil launch platform includes a first support platform and a second support platform rotatably connected to one end of the first support platform via a pivot. Both the first and second support platforms have foldable support frames at their ends, which are away from each other. Telescopic legs are rotatably connected to the bottom of the middle portion of the two long sides of both the first and second support platforms, and the two telescopic legs are arranged in a figure-eight pattern. An angle-adjustable frame is provided at the end of the second support platform away from the first support platform. Two parallel elastic launch rods and a spring plate are provided at the end of the angle-adjustable frame. The spring plate is located above the elastic launch rods, and the angle-adjustable frame is provided with an elastic adjustment mechanism for adjusting the elastic force of the spring plate.

[0006] Preferably, a tray is provided at the bottom of the first support platform near the end of the second support platform, and the upper surface of the tray is in contact with the bottom of the second support platform.

[0007] Preferably, the two support frames are arranged in a figure-eight pattern.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame includes two parallel support rods, with a plurality of equally spaced crossbars between the two support rods. The bottom ends of both the first and second support platforms are provided with adjustment plates corresponding to the support rods. The top sidewall of each support rod is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate via a first connecting shaft. The surface of the adjustment plate is provided with arc-shaped first adjustment holes, the first adjustment holes and the first connecting shaft being concentric. The sidewall at the end of each support rod is provided with a first stud, the end of which extends to the outside of the first adjustment hole and is threadedly connected to a knob.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the adjusting plate is provided with a stop that can contact the side wall of the support rod.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the support rod is provided with a fixing cone.

[0011] Preferably, the angle adjustment frame includes two parallel adjustment rods, and the end sidewall of the second support platform is provided with adjustment seats corresponding to the adjustment rods. The end sidewall of the adjustment rod is rotatably connected to the adjustment seat through a second connecting shaft, and the surface of the adjustment seat is provided with an arc-shaped second adjustment hole concentric with the second connecting shaft. The sidewall of the adjustment rod is provided with a second stud, and the end of the second stud extends to the outside of the second adjustment hole and is threadedly connected to a knob.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic launching rod includes an inclined rod fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting rod, and a horizontal rod is fixedly connected to the end of the inclined rod away from the adjusting rod.

[0013] Preferably, the elastic adjustment mechanism includes a lead screw and a spring sleeved on the lead screw. A U-shaped seat is provided at the bottom end of the spring plate. A connecting seat is rotatably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped seat via a rotating shaft. A sliding cavity is provided in the bottom cavity of the connecting seat, which slides up and down with the lead screw. A support block is provided at the end of the horizontal rod. A sliding hole is provided on the surface of the support block, which slides up and down with the lead screw. A threaded cylinder that is threadedly connected to the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support block via a bearing. The bottom of the spring is connected to the upper surface of the support block, and the top end is connected to the bottom of the connecting seat.

[0014] The portable mobile hydrofoil launch platform of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The present invention can fold and combine the first support platform, the support frame and the second support platform together, and can also unfold it to form a running platform that stands on the water, making it easy for athletes to deploy it in various waterside environments. It is simple and quick to operate, and its reduced size makes it easy to transport.

[0016] 2. By loosening the knob on the second stud, the angle of the adjusting rod can be adjusted, which in turn makes it easier to adjust the angle of the spring plate to adapt to the terrain and hardness of different water edges. This greatly improves the flexibility of the structure and significantly reduces the difficulty and learning cost of hydrofoil launch.

[0017] 3. In use, place the bottom of the footplate of the unpowered hydrofoil between the upper surfaces of the two spring plates. After the user takes a running start on the support platform and steps onto the footplate of the unpowered hydrofoil, the end of the spring plate will tilt downward under the action of the elasticity, thereby launching the unpowered hydrofoil and providing initial velocity to the hydrofoil to help the athlete achieve a smooth start. By rotating the threaded cylinder, the lead screw can be moved up and down, which facilitates the compression or stretching of the spring, and makes it easy to flexibly adjust the elasticity of the spring. This allows the athlete to adjust the elasticity as needed to achieve different training effects. Attached Figure Description
