Description

Lifting structure and basketball hoop with such structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment, and in particular to a lifting structure and a basketball hoop having the same structure. Background Technology

[0002] The global basketball hoop market continues to expand, driven by the fitness boom and the growing popularity of basketball. Market demand is strong, particularly for high-quality basketball hoops in commercial real estate, entertainment venues, schools, public parks, and community centers. Furthermore, increasing demand for home entertainment is also fueling the need for basketball hoops from individuals and families. Basketball hoop technology is constantly innovating to meet consumer demand for high-quality, multi-functional products. New basketball hoops are continuously being optimized in terms of design, materials, and functionality.

[0003] Adjustable basketball hoops, adaptable to different user groups, are increasingly favored by consumers. The different lifting methods determine the ease of adjustment. Without disassembling the basketball hoop uprights and backboard, most use a handle for adjustment. Existing handles consist of an outer 30*30 square tube lifting rod, an inner 25*25 square tube lifting rod, and a lever, secured with upper and lower screws. Backboard height adjustment is achieved by a pin inside the lever engaging a hole on the inner lifting rod. This method is cumbersome, involves multiple steps, and is relatively expensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically designs a lifting structure and a basketball hoop with the structure.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lifting structure for raising and lowering a basketball hoop includes a triangular block and a lifting rod. The triangular block includes two triangular plates arranged in parallel with each other. The bottom ends of the triangular plates are connected as one piece by a mounting plate. The triangular block is fixed to the upright of the basketball hoop by the mounting plate.

[0007] The top of the triangular plate is provided with a pull pin, and limit wheels are provided on both sides of the pull pin. The lifting rod is installed between the limit wheels.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting rod has multiple limiting holes, and the pull pin is inserted into the limiting holes.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting plate has mounting holes for fixed connection with the upright; the mounting plate is an arc-shaped plate adapted to the curvature of the upright. If the upright is square, the mounting plate is a flat plate adapted to the upright.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting rod is provided with a lifting handle, and the lifting handle is inclinedly connected to the lifting rod, with an angular deviation between the two.

[0011] A basketball hoop with the above-mentioned lifting structure includes a triangular block, a vertical pole, a lifting rod, a long support rod, and a short support rod. The triangular block is installed on the vertical pole of the basketball hoop. The bottom end of the lifting rod is slidably connected to the triangular block. The top end of the lifting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the long support rod. The top end of the long support rod is connected to the backboard of the basketball hoop. The middle part of the long support rod is connected to the vertical pole. One end of the short support rod is rotatably connected to the top of the vertical pole, and the other end is connected to the backboard of the basketball hoop.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting rod is installed between the limiting wheels such that the limiting hole is directly opposite the pull pin.

[0013] Furthermore, the long support rod consists of two parallel long rods, with the middle part of the long support rod fixed to both sides of the upright, and the long support rod is connected to the backboard and the main rod to form a rotating lever.

[0014] Furthermore, the short support rod consists of two parallel short rods, and the short support rod, long support rod, upright rod, and backboard form a parallelogram.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the upright is fixed to the base of the basketball hoop, and a support plate is installed between the base and the upright.

[0016] Furthermore, the upright is a two-section upright, a three-section upright, or a four-section upright.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This lifting method is simpler. By drilling a hole in an external lifting rod and then connecting the support rod to the triangular block using a quick-release pin, the backboard can be raised or lowered. This eliminates the tedious work of installing various accessories and assembling the backboard in the plastic handle as before.

[0019] The improved triangular block design incorporates two limiting wheels at its front and rear ends, ensuring the lifting rod moves only along a specific path during its ascent and descent. Furthermore, the limiting holes align with the pull pins during the lifting and lowering process, simplifying operation and eliminating the need to locate the connector holes, resulting in smoother and more convenient lifting. Similarly, to maintain the stability of the basketball hoop, the pins provide vertical and horizontal limits, while the rollers provide front and rear limits, ensuring stability without compromising ease of operation.

[0020] The basketball hoop adjustment method involves first pulling open the latch, causing the pin that is engaged with the lifting rod hole to disengage, allowing the lifting rod to move up and down. This, in turn, drives the long support rod connected to the lifting rod. Because the long support rod is connected to the backboard and main rod to form a lever, and the short support rod is connected to the backboard and upper rod, forming a parallelogram with the long support rod, the backboard can move up and down when the long support rod moves, thus achieving the purpose of raising and lowering the hoop.

[0021] By removing the inner lifting mechanism, drilling holes in the outer lifting rod, and adding a limit switch to the triangular block, the basketball hoop can be raised and lowered. This simplifies the installation of the lifting rod, reduces the number of parts and accessories, and achieves adjustable lifting. The lifting mechanism is simple, the installation is convenient, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The lifting structure, as shown in Figures 1-3, is used for raising and lowering a basketball hoop. It includes a triangular block and a lifting rod. The triangular block comprises two parallel triangular plates 101, whose bottom ends are connected by a mounting plate 102. The triangular block is fixed to the upright of the basketball hoop via the mounting plate. A pull pin 104 is provided at the top of each triangular plate, and limit wheels 103 are provided on both sides of the pull pin. The lifting rod is installed between the limit wheels. Multiple limit holes 201 are opened at the bottom of the lifting rod, and the pull pin is inserted into these limit holes.

[0037] The pull pins prevent the lifting rod from moving up and down, acting as a limit switch. The rollers act as front and rear limit switches, reducing wobbling caused by gaps in the lifting rod installation and thus improving the stability of the basketball hoop.

[0038] The limiting wheel includes an axle 105, a cylindrical roller 106, and a pin 107.

[0039] The mounting plate has mounting holes for fixed connection with the upright; the mounting plate is an arc-shaped plate adapted to the curvature of the upright.

[0040] If the upright is square, the mounting plate is a flat plate that fits the upright.

[0041] The bottom of the lifting rod is equipped with a lifting handle 202, which is inclinedly connected to the lifting rod with an angular deviation between them. This design serves two purposes: firstly, it facilitates the user's grip on the handle, and secondly, it provides a certain degree of restraint, preventing the lifting rod from slipping out from between the rollers. Practical experience has shown that a lifting rod with an angled bend requires less effort during lifting than a vertical one.

[0042] This lifting method is simpler. By drilling a hole in an external lifting rod and then connecting the support rod to the triangular block using a quick-release pin, the backboard can be raised or lowered. This eliminates the tedious work of installing various accessories and assembling the backboard in the plastic handle as before.

[0043] The improved triangular block incorporates two limiting wheels at its front and rear ends, ensuring the lifting rod moves only along a specific path during its vertical operation. Furthermore, the limiting holes align with the pull pin during the basketball hoop's raising and lowering process, simplifying operation and eliminating the need to locate the connector hole, resulting in smoother and more convenient lifting. Example

[0044] The basketball hoop includes the lifting structure in Embodiment 1, namely a triangular block 1, a vertical pole 3, a lifting rod 2, a long support rod 5, and a short support rod 6. The triangular block is installed on the vertical pole of the basketball hoop, and the bottom end of the lifting rod is slidably connected to the triangular block, while the top end is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the long support rod.

[0045] The lifting rod is installed between the limit wheels so that the limit hole is directly opposite the pull pin.

[0046] The long support rod consists of two parallel long rods. The top of the long support rod is rotatably connected to the backboard 4 of the basketball hoop, and the middle part of the long support rod is fixed to both sides of the upright. The long support rod is connected to the backboard and the main rod to form a rotating lever.

[0047] The short support rod consists of two parallel short rods. One end of the short support rod is rotatably connected to the top of the upright, and the other end is rotatably connected to the backboard of the basketball hoop. The short support rod, the long support rod, the upright, and the backboard form a parallelogram.

[0048] The uprights are two-section uprights, three-section uprights, or four-section uprights.

[0049] With a 4-section basketball hoop, the backboard reaches a maximum height of 3.05 meters when the pull pin is located in the uppermost limiting hole of the lifting rod, and a minimum height of 2.45 meters when the pull pin is located in the lowermost limiting hole of the lifting rod.

[0050] With a 3-section basketball hoop, the backboard reaches a maximum height of 2.35 meters when the pull pin is located in the uppermost limiting hole of the lifting rod, and a minimum height of 1.75 meters when the pull pin is located in the lowermost limiting hole of the lifting rod.

[0051] With the basketball hoop having two sections, the backboard reaches a maximum height of 1.65 meters when the pull pin is located in the uppermost limiting hole of the lifting rod, and a minimum height of 1.45 meters when the pull pin is located in the lowermost limiting hole of the lifting rod.

[0052] The basketball hoop adjustment method involves first pulling open the latch, causing the pin that is engaged with the lifting rod hole to disengage, allowing the lifting rod to move up and down. This, in turn, drives the long support rod connected to the lifting rod. Because the long support rod is connected to the backboard and main rod to form a lever, and the short support rod is connected to the backboard and upper rod, forming a parallelogram with the long support rod, the backboard can move up and down when the long support rod moves, thus achieving the purpose of raising and lowering the hoop.

[0053] Unlike existing handle-type lifting mechanisms, this design eliminates the internal lifting mechanism and instead creates a hole in the external lifting rod, adding a limit switch on the triangular block. This allows the basketball hoop to be raised and lowered, simplifying the installation of the lifting rod, reducing the number of parts and accessories, achieving adjustable lifting, and making the lifting and lowering process simple, easy to install, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0054] The bottom of the upright is fixed to the base 8 of the basketball hoop, and a support plate 7 is installed between the base and the upright. This basketball hoop can be stored to its maximum capacity, with a storage rod slot reserved on the base, resulting in a small storage volume after disassembly and assembly.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope thereof. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of the present invention.
