Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of basketball stands, and in particular to a foldable basketball stand. Background Art

[0002] As basketball hoops become essential facilities for the popularization of basketball, they are widely used in schools, communities, and various sports venues. With the rise of basketball, people have increasingly demanded higher functionality from basketball hoops, especially in terms of adaptability to people of different heights. Traditional fixed-height basketball hoops are gradually showing their limitations. However, while adjustable basketball hoops have addressed the height adaptation issue to some extent, their design and functionality still have many shortcomings, limiting their wider application and development.

[0003] Currently, common solutions on the market for fixing the height of basketball hoops include manually adjustable basketball hoops and simple folding basketball hoops. Manually adjustable basketball hoops typically achieve height adjustment through mechanical structures such as screws or clips, which are cumbersome to operate and require considerable physical effort. Simple folding basketball hoops, on the other hand, achieve height changes through a simple folding mechanism, but these mechanisms typically lack power assist devices, requiring manual effort for adjustment, and offer poor structural stability after folding. Additionally, some basketball hoops utilize basic hydraulic devices for height adjustment, but due to inappropriate structural design, these often present issues such as complex operation and inaccurate positioning.

[0004] Existing basketball stands often face challenges when adjusting height, including inconvenient operation, heavy reliance on manual labor, and a lack of compactness when folded. In particular, the lack of effective power-assist mechanisms during folding results in a poor user experience when adjusting height or folding the stand. Furthermore, the folded stand's bulk remains large, making it difficult to transport and store. These issues have severely impacted its practicality and marketability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to overcome the above technical problems and provide a foldable basketball stand. A folding basketball stand comprises a backboard, a base frame and a folding mechanism. A ball frame is fixedly mounted on the backboard. The folding mechanism is arranged on the base frame. The folding mechanism comprises a hydraulic jack and a folding connection assembly. The hydraulic jack can drive the folding connection assembly to fold.

[0006] By adopting this technical solution, a hydraulic lift drives the folding connection assembly to fold, making height adjustment of the basketball stand more convenient, eliminating the need for extensive manual operation and effectively reducing physical exertion. This design also addresses the cumbersome operation of traditional manually adjustable basketball stands, improving their practicality and user experience. Furthermore, the introduction of the hydraulic lift enhances stability during height adjustment, avoiding safety hazards caused by improper operation.

[0007] Preferably, the folding connection assembly comprises a swing lever hinged at the top of the base frame and a swing frame hinged at one side of the base frame close to the hoop, and the top of the swing frame and the swing lever are jointly hinged with an extension rod, and the extension rod, the swing lever, the swing frame and the base frame jointly form a parallelogram structure.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, the folding connection assembly of the basketball stand is composed of a swing lever, a swing frame and an extension rod, and forms a parallelogram structure with the base frame. This design can ensure the stability of the structure during folding or unfolding, and avoid deformation or jamming caused by uneven force. At the same time, the use of parallelogram structure makes the height adjustment of the basketball stand more smooth, and the operator only needs to drive one component to realize the coordinated movement of the whole structure, which significantly reduces the labor input. The structure can also effectively reduce the floor area of the basketball stand in the folded state, improving the convenience of storage and transportation.

[0009] Preferably, the swing frame is composed of two frame rods, and the top of the two frame rods is hinged with the extension rod through the same hinge seat, and the two rods and the base frame form a triangular structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, the swing frame is composed of two frame rods, and the two frame rods are connected with the extension rod through the same hinge seat, so that the structure is more compact and the stability is significantly improved. The two frame rods and the base frame jointly form a triangular structure, which effectively enhances the carrying capacity and anti-overturning performance of the folded basketball stand in the unfolded state by using the stability principle of triangle. This design not only improves the safety of the basketball stand during use, but also provides a more stable support foundation for the hydraulic jacking machine, ensuring the stability and precision of the height adjustment process.

[0011] Preferably, the extension rod is connected with a backboard connecting rod, the extension rod is composed of two sections and has adjustable length, the end of the backboard connecting rod away from the extension rod is fixedly connected with the backboard, two supporting rods are fixedly arranged on the backboard connecting rod, one end of the two supporting rods is fixedly connected on the backboard connecting rod, and the other end of the two supporting rods is fixedly connected on two sides of the backboard.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, the combination of the extension rod and the backboard connecting rod can realize stable support of the backboard, and the adjustable structure of the two sections of the extension rod further improves the height adjustment flexibility of the basketball stand. The two supporting rods on the backboard connecting rod are connected on both sides of the backboard, forming a triangular stable structure, which significantly enhances the stability of the backboard at different heights and effectively avoids the shaking problem caused by external impact. In addition, the adjustable length of the extension rod enables the basketball stand to adapt to the needs of users of different heights in a larger range, improving the convenience and applicability of use.

[0013] Preferably, a fixed plate is connected between the two frame rods, and the output shaft of the hydraulic jacking machine is hinged to the fixed plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical scheme, the output shaft of the hydraulic jacking machine is hinged to the fixed plate, so that the hydraulic jacking machine can stably drive the two frame rods to move through the fixed plate. This design not only improves the stability of the structure during folding, but also realizes precise adjustment of the height of the basketball stand. At the same time, the connection mode of the fixed plate simplifies the force transmission path between the hydraulic jacking machine and the frame rod, reduces energy loss, and improves the operation convenience and reliability of the entire folding mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, the folding mechanism further comprises an adjusting rod composed of two adjusting branches, one of which is hinged to the fixed plate and the other is hinged to the swing rod, and the two adjusting branches are connected by sliding insertion, and a plurality of gear holes are formed on the adjusting rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the adjusting rod is composed of two adjusting branches and realizes length adjustment through sliding insertion connection, and gear holes are formed on the adjusting branch to realize positioning. In combination with the above scheme, the output shaft of the hydraulic jacking machine is hinged to the fixed plate, the fixed plate is connected between the two frame rods, and the frame rod and the base form a triangular structure, thereby providing a stable support foundation for the adjusting rod. This design enables the basketball stand to realize precise height positioning through the adjusting rod during folding, and the sliding insertion structure simplifies the operation process and reduces the dependence on manpower. In addition, the setting of the gear holes ensures the stability of the basketball stand at different heights, effectively solves the problems of inconvenient adjustment and inaccurate positioning of traditional basketball stands, and significantly improves the user experience.

[0017] Preferably, a screw lifter is further installed on the base, and the screw lifter is drivingly connected with the front universal wheel.

[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, the screw lifter is installed on the base and drivingly connected with the front universal wheel, and the setting of the screw lifter can effectively improve the height adjustment range of the front universal wheel, maintain the stability of the basketball stand during adjustment, avoid tilting or shaking caused by single-point stress, and further improve the user experience.

[0019] Preferably, a rear universal wheel is further fixed below the base.

[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the effect of fixing the rear universal wheel below the base is that it facilitates the overall movement of the basketball stand, reduces the friction force on the ground during movement, and improves the convenience during carrying and adjusting the position.

[0021] Preferably, a plurality of ground anchors are further fixed below the base.

[0022] By adopting the above technical scheme, the several ground anchors fixed below the base frame can effectively enhance the overall stability of the basketball stand, preventing it from toppling over due to external forces during use. The ground anchors increase the contact area between the basketball stand and the ground, thereby improving the friction force, making the basketball stand more stable when subjected to impact or external forces, and improving the safety of use.

[0023] Preferably, the base frame is provided with a counterweight box for adding counterweight, which is designed in the shape of a box and can be used to store articles.
