Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A basketball hoop is an essential piece of equipment in basketball, typically consisting of a ring, a net, and a base. The ring, the core of the hoop, is typically made of metal and attached to the arms. The net increases the difficulty of shooting and makes the game more challenging. The base supports the entire hoop, ensuring its stability during play.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies, such as CN104014117A, disclose a folding basketball stand. The stand's columns are mounted on the bottom of a base box via a rotating shaft. The upper ends of the columns are connected to arms, which in turn connect to a backboard. This design uses an oil pump and hydraulic cylinder system to adjust the height, while a pulley mechanism controls the backboard's elevation.

[0004] However, such existing technologies have many defects and shortcomings in actual use:

[0005] 1. Complex structure and heavy weight: The design of the hydraulic system and pulley mechanism makes the overall structure complex, increasing the probability of failure and making maintenance and repair more difficult. The use of heavy components such as hydraulic cylinders makes the overall weight heavy, making it difficult to move and carry, limiting its flexibility in use.

[0006] 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.

[0007] 3. Safety hazards: The hydraulic system may leak after prolonged use, shortening its service life and increasing subsequent maintenance costs. Failure of the hydraulic system may cause the basketball stand to become unstable, posing a safety hazard, especially under high-intensity use.

[0008] In summary, the existing technology has certain limitations in both structural design and use, and urgently needs to be improved to enhance the convenience, flexibility, and safety of basketball stands. Utility Model Content

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. Simplified and lightweight structure: The utility model 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 high-strength alloy folding connectors 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.

[0021] 2. Easy Operation and Flexible Adjustment: This utility model replaces the hydraulic system with a built-in manual height adjustment component. The hand crank controls the rotation of the vertebral gear and screw to achieve the up and down movement of the backboard, making the entire operation more intuitive and simple, and reducing the difficulty of adjustment. This not only reduces the effort required, but also, due to the more stable mechanical structure, reduces the possibility of lag or malfunction during height adjustment. It is particularly suitable for users of different ages and physical strengths, enhancing the product's adaptability and user-friendliness.

[0022] 3. Improved stability and safety: The utility model adopts 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 utility model abandons the complex and leaky hydraulic system, eliminates the safety hazards caused by hydraulic oil leakage, and ensures safety and service life during long-term use. The elastically adjustable basketball hoop component adopts a spring shock absorber design, which reduces the impact force on the basketball hoop 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.

[0023] 4. Convenient Maintenance and Reduced Costs: This utility model utilizes a mechanical hand-crank adjustment and folding structure, eliminating the complexity of the hydraulic system and simplifying maintenance and upkeep. Hydraulic systems often require specialized maintenance and are prone to high repair costs due to component damage or oil leaks. This utility model reduces maintenance complexity by: its simple mechanical structure reduces the risk of damage to complex components, and users only need to perform minimal lubrication and cleaning during use, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance costs.

[0024] 5. Highly Integrated and Flexible Folding Design: This utility model integrates the built-in backboard components with the folding bracket assembly, enabling quick deployment and easy folding during use without the need for additional tools, enhancing product practicality. The folding bracket design allows the basketball stand to be quickly folded and unfolded, saving space when not in use, making it suitable for use in places such as homes and schools. The built-in structure not only enhances structural integrity but also makes the equipment easier to maintain and transport, further enhancing its flexibility and ease of use.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 1. Unfolding the basketball stand: When the basketball stand needs to be used, the user can unfold the basketball stand through simple steps without the need for additional tools; First, use the folding connector 103 of the foldable bracket assembly 1 to straighten the upper main pole 101 and the lower main pole 102 from the folded state, so that the upper and lower main poles 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 rod 6 further strengthens the structural stability of the basketball stand, fixing the distal end of the diagonal rod to the base to increase the anti-tilt ability of the bracket.

[0049] 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, which 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, allowing the nut 402 to move up and down. 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 adjusting 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.

[0050] 3. Adjustable Basketball Hoop Elasticity: The basketball hoop design incorporates an adjustable elasticity feature, effectively mitigating the impact of intense exercise on the hoop. The elastically adjustable basketball hoop component 3 consists of a U-shaped clamp 301 and a basketball hoop connecting frame 302 connected thereto. The basketball hoop connecting frame is flexibly connected to the U-shaped clamp via connecting rod 1 303, allowing for flexible adjustment. During exercise, the upward and downward pressure of the basketball hoop is transmitted to the spring shock absorber 306 via connecting rods 2 304 and 305. This device effectively absorbs and mitigates external impact, enhancing the durability and safety of the basketball stand.

[0051] 4. Folding and Storage: When not in use, the basketball stand can be folded for easy storage in a simple manner: loosen the retaining clips 104 to release the upper and lower main rods, then fold the upper and lower main rods 101 and 102 together using the folding connectors 103. The built-in backboard 2 and the elastically adjustable basketball hoop 3 also fold accordingly, reducing space. The folded basketball stand is compact and easy to move and store.

[0052] This new basketball stand offers high portability and flexibility through its foldable structure and built-in mechanical height adjustment mechanism. The user can easily adjust the height with a hand crank, and the elastically adjustable basketball hoop enhances safety and durability during play. Tool-free installation and removal make it suitable for use in various locations, including homes and schools, while reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.
