Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of folding basketball hoops, and more particularly to a folding basketball hoop that is easy to unfold. Background Technology

[0002] Basketball is a sport that is widely popular around the world, and basketball hoops are an indispensable piece of equipment in basketball. With the current popularization of basketball, there is an increasing demand for foldable basketball hoops that are small in size, lightweight, and can be moved and stored, in scenarios such as homes, temporary school fields, and small sports venues.

[0003] Traditional folding basketball hoops typically consist of a base, a support frame, and a basket assembly. To ensure safety and reliability during installation, the base must first be fixed, then the support frame must be attached to the base, and finally the basket assembly must be installed on top of the support frame to complete the assembly.

[0004] Because the installation height of the basketball hoop assembly is usually quite high, when fixing the bracket and then installing the basketball hoop assembly, the operator needs to stand at a height to work with the help of ladders and other auxiliary tools. This not only increases the risk of personnel falling and getting injured, but also makes high-altitude assembly more difficult and inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To facilitate assembly, this application provides an easy-to-unfold folding basketball hoop.

[0006] The folding basketball hoop that is easy to unfold provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An easily unfoldable folding basketball hoop includes a base, a support mechanism, and a basket mechanism connected in sequence. The support mechanism includes a first support component, a second support component, and a locking component. The first support component and the second support component are rotatably connected to the base and slidably connected to each other. The locking component can maintain / release the connection between the first support component and the second support component. The basket mechanism is detachably connected to the first support component, and the first support component can rotate toward the ground.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, assembly can be completed conveniently. The assembly action is as follows: first, place the base on the ground, then release the locking mechanism from the first support component and the second support component, and then rotate the first support component toward the ground. Since the first support component is relatively close to the ground, the operator can easily install the basket mechanism on the first support component. After the installation is completed, rotate the first support component back to its original position and install the locking mechanism. The operator does not need to work at a high position.

[0008] Preferably, the base includes a receiving groove, and the first support component and the second support component are rotatable into the receiving groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the basket mechanism is disassembled, and the first support component and the second support component are rotated into the receiving groove to complete the storage of the first support component and the second support component. Based on the above design, it is easy to reduce the space occupied by this application during assembly, thereby facilitating packaging and shipping.

[0010] Preferably, the first support assembly includes a first support member rotatably connected to the base and a tube body rotatably connected to the first support member, the tube body having a first mating hole; the second support assembly includes a second support member rotatably connected to the base, the second support member being slidably connected to the tube body, the second support member having a second mating hole, the locking member being able to connect and lock the first mating hole and the second mating hole; the basket mechanism is connected to the first support member.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding connection between the pipe body and the second support member makes it easy to rotate the pipe body, i.e., the first support member and the second support member, at the same time, thereby making it easier to bring the first support member closer to the ground.

[0012] Preferably, the connection position between the first support member and the second support member is the locked position, the connection position between the first support member and the base is the first position, and the connection position between the second support member and the base is the second position. When the first support member and the second support member rotate towards each other, the locked position is between the first position and the second position.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first support member and the second support member can rotate in opposite directions to enter the receiving groove and be stored.

[0014] Preferably, there are multiple first docking holes, which are arranged along the length of the tube body, and each first docking hole can dock with a second docking hole; and / or, there are multiple second docking holes, which are arranged along the length of the second support member, and each second docking hole can dock with a first docking hole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first support member can be rotated and fixed in different positions based on different first and second docking holes, thereby facilitating the operator to install, repair or replace the basket mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, the basket mechanism includes a column detachably connected to the support mechanism, a basket assembly connected to the column, and an adjustment component connected to the basket assembly, the adjustment component being used to adjust the height of the basket assembly.

[0017] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes a first connecting pipe rotatably connected to the column, a second connecting pipe slidably connected to the first connecting pipe, and a locking member connecting the first and second connecting pipes together. The locking member can maintain / release the connection between the first and second connecting pipes. A rocker arm is rotatably connected to the column, one end of which is connected to the basket assembly, and the other end is connected to the second connecting pipe. The rocker arm is rotatably connected to the basket assembly, and the rocker arm and the basket assembly are also detachably connected to a rotation locking member.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the rocker can be changed based on the sliding connection of the first and second connecting pipes. When the rocker arm moves towards the ground at one end near the second connecting pipe, the basket assembly will move away from the ground. Based on the above design, the basket assembly can be lowered after the assembly of this application is completed for the repair, installation or replacement of the basket assembly.

[0019] Preferably, the first connecting tube has a plurality of first mounting holes, and the second connecting tube has a second mounting hole, wherein the second mounting hole can mate with any of the first mounting holes and jointly connect to the clamping member.

[0020] Preferably, the column includes multiple detachably connected sub-support columns, which can also be separately placed in the receiving groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sub-support columns can also be disassembled and placed in the receiving groove for easy packaging and shipping.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This application enables convenient assembly. The assembly process is as follows: First, place the base on the ground. Then, release the locking mechanism from the first support component and the second support component. Then, rotate the first support component toward the ground. Since the first support component is close to the ground, the operator can easily install the basket mechanism on the first support component. After installation, rotate the first support component back to its original position and install the locking mechanism. The operator does not need to work at a high position. 2. In this application, after the basket mechanism is disassembled, the first support component and the second support component are rotated into the receiving groove to complete the storage of the first support component and the second support component. It is also possible to disassemble and place multiple sub-support columns into the receiving groove for storage. Based on the above design, it is easy to reduce the space occupied by this application during assembly, thereby facilitating packaging and shipping. 3. By using different first and second docking holes to connect, the first support member can be rotated and fixed in different positions, thereby facilitating the installation, maintenance or replacement of the basket mechanism by the operator.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0027] This application discloses an easily unfoldable folding basketball hoop. It facilitates disassembly, packing, and assembly.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 An easy-to-unfold folding basketball hoop includes a base 1, a support mechanism 2, and a basket mechanism 3 connected sequentially from bottom to top. Typically, the base 1 is first installed and fixed on the ground, and then the support mechanism 2 and the basket mechanism 3 are installed sequentially to complete the assembly.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support mechanism 2 includes a first support component 21, a second support component 22, and a locking element 23. Both the first support component 21 and the second support component 22 are rotatably connected to the base 1, and the first support component 21 and the second support component 22 are slidably connected. The locking element 23 can maintain / release the connection between the first support component 21 and the second support component 22. Figure 1 The basket mechanism 3 is connected to the first support component 21 by screws. The first support component 21 and the second support component 22 can rotate towards the ground simultaneously to drive the basket mechanism 3 to move towards the ground.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the first support assembly 21 includes a first support member 211 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a tube body 212 rotatably connected to the first support member 211. The tube body 212 has a first mating hole 2121. Figure 1 The basket mechanism 3 is connected to the upper end of the first support member 211 by screws. In this embodiment, the first support member 211 is an inverted U-shaped hollow tube.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second support component 22 includes a second support member 221 rotatably connected to the base 1. The second support member 221 is a tube. In order to support balance, there are two second support members 221 in this embodiment. Each second support member 221 is slidably connected to the tube body 212. The second support member 221 has a second docking hole 2211. The locking member 23 can connect and lock the first docking hole 2121 and the second docking hole 2211. The locking member 23 is, for example, a spring pin.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, there are three second docking holes 2211, which are evenly distributed along the length of the second support member 221. There is one first docking hole 2121, and each first docking hole 2121 can dock with the second docking hole 2211 to jointly connect the locking member 23.

[0033] Specifically, the first support member 211 has a usage position for playing basketball, an installation position for the operator to install the basketball hoop mechanism 3, and a storage position for easy storage and packaging for shipment. The storage position is lower than the installation position and lower than the usage position. When the leftmost second docking hole 2211 mates with the first docking hole 2121, the first support member 211 is in the working position, and at this time the angle between the second support member 221 and the horizontal plane is 42.5°. When the second mating hole 2211 in the middle aligns with the first mating hole 2121, the first support member 211 will be in the installation position. When the rightmost second docking hole 2211 mates with the first docking hole 2121, the first support member 211 will be in the storage position.

[0034] Of course, in other embodiments, there may be multiple first docking holes 2121 and one second docking hole 2211, or multiple first docking holes 2121 and multiple second docking holes 2211.

[0035] When assembly is required, force can be applied to the first support member 211 and / or the second support member 221 to make the first support member 211 and the second support member 221 move towards each other, thereby aligning the middle second docking hole 2211 with the first docking hole 2121. Then, the locking member 23 is installed to connect and fix the relative positions of the first support member 211 and the second support member 221. At this time, the operator can directly connect the basketball hoop mechanism 3 to the first support member 211 on the ground without the need for the operator to work at a high position. After the basketball hoop mechanism 3 is installed, the leftmost second docking hole 2211 is aligned with the first docking hole 2121 by rotating the first support member 211 and / or the second support member 221, and the locking member 23 is installed. Then, the user can use this application to play basketball.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 To facilitate the folding and storage of the first support member 211 and the second support member 221 for subsequent packaging and shipping, the connection position between the first support member 211 and the second support member 221 is the locking position 24, the connection position between the first support member 211 and the base 1 is the first position 25, and the connection position between the second support member 221 and the base 1 is the second position 26. When the first support member 211 and the second support member 221 rotate towards each other, the locking position 24 will always be between the first position 25 and the second position 26.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The basket mechanism 3 includes a column 31 connected to the first support member 211 by screws, a basket assembly 32 connected to the column 31, and an adjustment component 33 connected to the basket assembly 32. The column 31 is vertically arranged, and the adjustment component 33 is used to adjust the height of the basket assembly 32.

[0038] Reference Figure 4Specifically, the adjusting assembly 33 includes a first connecting pipe 331 rotatably connected to the column 31, a second connecting pipe 332 slidably connected to the first connecting pipe 331, the second connecting pipe 332 being sleeved on the outer wall of the first connecting pipe 331, and a locking member 333 jointly connected to the first connecting pipe 331 and the second connecting pipe 332. The locking member 333 can maintain / release the connection between the first connecting pipe 331 and the second connecting pipe 332. The locking member 333 is preferably an adjusting handle. A rocker arm 334 is rotatably connected to the column 31. The left end of the rocker arm 334 is connected to the basket assembly 32, and the right end of the rocker arm 334 is connected to the second connecting pipe 332.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rocker arm 334 is rotatably connected to the basket assembly 32. The rocker arm 334 and the basket assembly 32 are also detachably connected to a rotating locking member 34, such as a bolt. After the rotating locking member 34 is released from locking the connection between the rocker arm 334 and the basket assembly 32, the basket assembly 32 can rotate relative to the rocker arm 334 to adjust its position. The right end of the rocker arm 334 is also detachably connected to the second connecting pipe 332, and the detachable structure is similar to that described above.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The first connecting pipe 331 has multiple first mounting holes 3311, and the second connecting pipe 332 has a second mounting hole 3321. The second mounting hole 3321 can be connected to any of the first mounting holes 3311 and together connect to the clamping member 333.

[0041] After the assembly of this application is completed, the height of the basketball hoop assembly 32 can also be adjusted. The height adjustment action of the basketball hoop assembly 32 is as follows: First, release the connection and fixation of the clamping piece 333 to the first connecting pipe 331 and the second connecting pipe 332, and drive the second connecting pipe 332 to slide upward along the length direction of the first connecting pipe 331 until the first mounting hole 3311 and the second mounting hole 3321 are aligned. The right end of the rocker arm 334 is upward, and the basketball hoop assembly 32 connected to the left end of the rocker arm 334 will move downward. After the basketball hoop assembly 32 moves into place, the clamping piece 333 is reinstalled. Reference Figure 4 In order to ensure the stability of the basket assembly 32, a support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the column 31. The left end of the support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the basket assembly 32, and the support rod 4 is parallel to the rocker arm 334.

[0042] Reference Figure 4The basket assembly 32 includes a backboard 35 connected to the left end of the rocker arm 334, a base 36 detachably connected to the backboard 35, a basket 37 detachably connected to the base 36, and a net 38 detachably connected to the basket 37. The specific structures and disassembly methods of the detachable components mentioned above are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 In order to enable this application to be disassembled and stacked and occupy a small space, the base 1 includes a receiving groove 11 at the upper end. The first support member 211 and the second support member 221 are rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the receiving groove 11. The first support member 211 and the second support member 221 can rotate towards each other and reach into the receiving groove 11 to be stored.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 The first connecting pipe 331 has a rotating pipe 3312, and the column 31 has a mounting ear 3111. The rotating pipe 3312 is rotatably connected to the mounting ear 3111. A limiting bolt is threaded onto the rotating pipe 3312. The installed limiting bolt can prevent the rotating pipe 3312 from detaching from the mounting ear 3111, but removing the limiting bolt allows the rotating pipe 3312, i.e., the first connecting pipe 331, to separate from the column 31. In this embodiment, combined with... Figure 4 The first connecting tube 331 and the second connecting tube 332 can also be disassembled and placed separately in the receiving groove 11.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The column 31 includes multiple sub-support columns 311 connected in sequence by pins or screws. In this embodiment, there are two sub-support columns 311. The multiple sub-support columns 311 can also be placed horizontally in the receiving groove 11 separately.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 After the backboard 35, base 36, rim 37 and net 38 are separated, the bottom surface of the receiving groove 11 also has a receiving groove 12. The base 36 can be placed in the receiving groove 12, the rim 37 and net 38 can be placed in the receiving groove 11, and the backboard 35 can be fastened to the upper end of the base 1.

[0047] Additionally, it should be noted that when folding up the rocker arm 334 and the auxiliary support rod 4, the rocker arm and the auxiliary support rod 4 should be rotated as close as possible to the sub-support column 311.

[0048] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned disassembly and storage process, this application can be easily packaged and compressed into a smaller size for shipment.

[0049] The implementation principle of an easily unfoldable folding basketball hoop in this application embodiment is as follows: First, place the base 1 on the ground. Then, release the locking device 23 from the connection between the tube body 212 and the second support member 221. Then, move the first support member 211 and the second support member 221 toward each other. Since the upper end of the first support component 21 is closer to the ground, the operator can easily install multiple sub-support columns 311, the first connecting pipe 331, the second connecting pipe 332 and the basket assembly 32. After installation, rotate the first support member back to its original position and install the locking device 23. The operator does not need to work at height.

[0050] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
