Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of basketball stands, and in particular to an integrated foldable and installation-free basketball stand. Background Art

[0002] Basketball stands are indispensable facilities in basketball, usually consisting of a hoop, a net and a base. The hoop is the core part of the basketball stand, usually made of metal and fixed on the outrigger; the net increases the difficulty of shooting and makes the game more challenging; and the base supports the weight of the entire basketball stand to ensure its stability during the game.

[0003] At present, the prior art such as CN104014117A discloses a folding basketball stand, in which the upright posts are arranged at the bottom of the bottom box through a rotating shaft, the upper end of the upright posts is connected to the extension arm, and the other end of the extension arm is connected to the backboard. The design uses an oil pump and a hydraulic cylinder system to achieve height adjustment, and controls the lifting and lowering of the backboard through a pulley mechanism.

[0004] However, such prior art has many defects and deficiencies in practical use: 1. Complex structure and heavy weight: The design of the hydraulic system and the pulley mechanism makes the overall structure complex, increasing the probability of failure and making maintenance and repair more troublesome. Due to the use of heavy components such as hydraulic cylinders, the overall weight is large, making it inconvenient to move and carry, limiting the flexibility of use occasions.

[0005] 2. Inflexible height adjustment: Although the hydraulic system can achieve height adjustment, the operation process is relatively complicated and requires a certain amount of effort, which reduces the convenience of use, especially the poor adaptability among different users.

[0006] 3. Safety hazards: The hydraulic system may leak after long-term use, which will affect the service life and increase the subsequent maintenance costs. Once the hydraulic system fails, it may cause the basketball stand to be unstable, which may pose a safety hazard, especially in high-intensity use scenarios.

[0007] In summary, the existing technology has certain limitations in both structural design and use, and it is urgently needed to improve the convenience, flexibility and safety of basketball stands. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention has significant improvements in the convenience, structural stability, ease of operation, safety and long-term use cost of the basketball stand by simplifying the structure, removing the hydraulic system, adopting a mechanical adjustment method and optimizing the design of the connecting parts. It overcomes the problems of complexity, heavy weight, inconvenient adjustment, potential safety hazards and high maintenance costs in the prior art, and provides an integrated, foldable and installation-free basketball stand.

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an integrated foldable and installation-free basketball stand, comprising a foldable bracket assembly and an embedded backboard component arranged at the upper end of the foldable bracket assembly, wherein an elastically adjustable basketball ring component is arranged at the side end of the embedded backboard component; The foldable bracket assembly includes an upper main rod, a lower main rod and a folding connecting piece that movably connects the upper main rod and the lower main rod. The inner edge of the upper main rod is provided with an embedded hand-cranked height adjustment component. The top end of the embedded hand-cranked height adjustment component is sleeved in the embedded backboard component. The embedded backboard component is driven and adjusted to move up and down through the embedded hand-cranked height adjustment component.

[0010] Preferably, a positioning sleeve is extended from the bottom end of the upper main rod, and the folding connector is a high-strength alloy hinge, whose upper end is fixedly connected to the upper main rod, and whose lower end is fixedly connected to the lower main rod. The upper main rod and the lower main rod are made perpendicular to each other through the folding connector, and the positioning sleeve is sleeved on the outer edge of the lower main rod.

[0011] Preferably, the embedded backboard component includes a backboard body, and a limiting sleeve is fixedly provided on a side end of the bottom of the backboard body.

[0012] Preferably, the elastically adjustable basketball ring component includes a U-shaped splint fixedly arranged on the bottom side end of the backboard body, a basketball ring connecting frame is provided on the inner edge of the U-shaped splint, the U-shaped splint and the basketball ring connecting frame are movably connected through a connecting rod one, and the U-shaped splint and the basketball ring connecting frame are respectively provided with a connecting rod two and a connecting rod three at the ends away from the connecting rod one, and the two ends of the spring shock absorber are respectively mounted on the connecting rod two and the connecting rod three.

[0013] Preferably, the embedded hand-cranked height adjustment component includes a screw rod arranged at the inner end of the upper main rod, a nut is threadedly screwed on the screw rod, an upper fixed sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the top of the nut, a vertebral gear 1 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the screw rod, one end of the vertebral gear 1 is meshingly connected with a vertebral gear 2, and the vertebral gear 2 is arranged on the supporting shaft of the hand crank, and the human power input is transmitted to the vertebral gear by rotating the hand crank, and the vertebral gear drives the screw rod to rotate, and the screw rod pushes the nut upward or downward through the threaded hole of the nut, thereby causing the upper fixed sleeve rod to rise or fall.

[0014] Preferably, the upper fixed sleeve rod is embedded in the inner end of the limiting sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, a base is provided at the bottom end of the lower main rod, a diagonal tie rod is connected to the side end of the lower main rod, and one end of the diagonal tie rod away from the lower main rod is connected to the base.

[0016] Preferably, a main rod folding positioning cavity is opened at the center of the upper end of the base, and the upper main rod and the lower main rod are arranged in the main rod folding positioning cavity after being folded through a folding connector.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Simplified and lightweight structure: The present invention simplifies the overall structure by adopting a foldable bracket assembly and an embedded hand-cranked height adjustment component, eliminating the need for hydraulic and pulley mechanisms. This is specifically reflected in the following aspects: The foldable bracket assembly uses a high-strength alloy folding connector to achieve simple folding and unfolding of the structure, replacing the hydraulic system and pulley mechanism to achieve tool-free installation and disassembly. Since there is no need to use heavy components such as hydraulic cylinders, the weight of the entire basketball stand is greatly reduced, making it easier to move and suitable for flexible use in different occasions. This improvement greatly improves the portability of the basketball stand and solves the problem that the basketball stand in the prior art relies on a hydraulic system and a pulley mechanism to achieve height adjustment, which makes the structure complex, heavy, and increases the failure rate and maintenance difficulty.

[0018] 2. Easy operation and flexible adjustment: The present invention replaces the hydraulic system with an embedded hand-cranked height adjustment component. The hand-cranked handle controls the rotation of the vertebral gear and the screw rod to achieve the up and down movement of the backboard. The entire operation process is more intuitive and simple, and the difficulty of adjustment is reduced. Not only does it reduce the effort required during operation, but also because the mechanical structure is relatively stable, it reduces the jamming or failure phenomenon during the height adjustment process. It is particularly suitable for users of different ages or physical strengths, and enhances the adaptability and user-friendliness of the product.

[0019] 3. Improved stability and safety: The present invention uses high-strength alloy hinges as the core connectors of the folding bracket assembly, which ensures the high-strength support effect of the basketball stand during use, and eliminates the hydraulic system, reducing the possibility of failure. The folding connector is made of high-strength alloy material, which has excellent durability and fatigue resistance, ensuring the structural strength and stability of the basketball stand when folding and unfolding. The present invention abandons the complex hydraulic system that may leak, eliminates the safety hazards caused by hydraulic oil leakage, and ensures safety and service life during long-term use. The elastically adjustable basketball ring component adopts a spring shock absorber design, which reduces the impact force on the basketball ring during intense exercise and further improves the stability and durability of the equipment. It effectively solves the problem that the hydraulic system in the prior art may leak hydraulic oil after long-term use, which poses a safety hazard, and once the hydraulic system fails, it may cause the basketball stand to become unstable.

[0020] 4. Convenient maintenance and reduced use cost: The present invention adopts a mechanical hand-crank adjustment and folding structure, eliminating the complexity of the hydraulic system, so it is easier to maintain and service. The hydraulic system often requires professional maintenance, and is prone to high repair costs due to component damage or oil leakage. The present invention reduces the difficulty of maintenance in the following ways: the simple mechanical structure reduces the risk of damage to complex components, and the user only needs to perform a small amount of lubrication and cleaning maintenance during use, which greatly reduces the subsequent maintenance costs.

[0021] 5. Highly integrated and flexible folding design: The present invention realizes the rapid deployment and easy folding of the basketball stand when in use through the integrated design of the embedded backboard component and the folding bracket assembly, without the need for additional tools, which improves the practicality of the product: the design of the folding bracket allows the basketball stand to be folded and unfolded quickly, so that it can save space when not in use, suitable for use in places such as home or school. The embedded structure not only enhances the integration of the structure, but also makes the equipment easier to maintain and transport, further improving the flexibility and ease of use of the equipment.

[0044] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the above technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below through specific usage methods.

[0045] 1. Unfolding the basketball stand: When the basketball stand is needed, the user can unfold the basketball stand through simple steps without the need for additional tools; First, the upper main rod 101 and the lower main rod 102 are straightened from the folded state through the folding connector 103 of the foldable bracket assembly 1, so that the upper and lower main rods are in a vertical state. The folding connector 103 is made of high-strength alloy to ensure stability and strength during unfolding.

The base 5 provides stable support, and the diagonal brace 6 further strengthens the structural stability of the basketball stand, fixes the distal end of the diagonal brace to the base, and increases the anti-tilt ability of the bracket.

[0046] 2. Basketball stand height adjustment: The height of the basketball stand can be easily adjusted through the built-in hand-cranked height adjustment component 4. The user can turn the hand crank 406 forward or backward. The hand crank 406 drives the connected vertebral gear 2 405 through the support shaft, and then engages with the vertebral gear 1 404. The vertebral gear 1 404 drives the internal screw rod 401 to rotate. The thread on the screw rod 401 engages with the thread of the nut 402 to achieve the up and down movement of the nut 402. The nut is connected to the upper fixed sleeve rod 403. When the nut moves up or down, the upper fixed sleeve rod 403 drives the embedded backboard component 2 of the basketball stand to slide up and down, thereby achieving the adjustment of the height of the basketball stand. Through manual control, the user can adjust the basketball stand to a suitable height. The entire operation process is smooth and simple, and does not require too much effort.

[0047] 3. Elastic adjustment of the basketball hoop: The design of the basketball hoop component adds an elastic adjustment function, which effectively alleviates the impact of intense exercise on the basketball hoop; the elastically adjustable basketball hoop component 3 is composed of a U-shaped clamp 301 and a basketball hoop connecting frame 302 connected therein. The basketball hoop connecting frame is movably connected to the U-shaped clamp through a connecting rod 1 303 and can be flexibly adjusted. During exercise, the upper and lower pressures of the basketball hoop are transmitted to the spring shock absorber 306 through connecting rod 2 304 and connecting rod 3 305. The device can effectively absorb and alleviate external force impact, increasing the durability and safety of the basketball stand.

[0048] 4. Folding and storage of the basketball stand: When not in use, the user can fold the basketball stand for easy storage by simple steps: loosen the positioning clip 104 to release the fixation of the upper and lower main rods, and then fold the upper main rod 101 and the lower main rod 102 together through the folding connector 103. The embedded backboard component 2 and the elastically adjustable basketball ring component 3 can also be folded accordingly to reduce the occupied space. The folded basketball stand has a compact structure and is easy to move and store.

[0049] The present invention provides high portability and flexibility through a foldable structure and an embedded mechanical height adjustment structure. Users can easily adjust the height through a hand crank control, and its elastic adjustable basketball hoop component improves the safety during exercise and the durability of the basketball stand. The tool-free installation and disassembly method makes it suitable for different places such as home and school, while reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.
