[0036] Example 1:

[0037] The backboard support structure, used to connect the upright 3 and the backboard 5, includes an upper support rod 6 and a lower support rod 7. The bottom end of the upper support rod is rotatably connected to the top of the upright, and the top end is rotatably connected to the backboard. The upper end of the lower support rod is rotatably connected to the backboard, and the bottom end is inserted into the upright.

[0038] The upper support rod includes a pair of parallel force-bearing rods. The bottom of the force-bearing rods is rotatably connected to the top two sides of the upright rod via upright bolts 602, and the ends of the force-bearing rods are rotatably connected to the backboard via backboard bolts 601.

[0039] The bottom end of the lower support rod is equipped with a support bow plate 702 and a pin 703 from bottom to top. The support bow plate has an inclined clamping surface. The lower support rod is inserted into the insertion hole 704 of the upright, with one side limited by the support bow plate and the other side limited by the pin. A support baffle 705 is provided at the top of the clamping surface of the support bow plate 702.

[0040] The top of the lower support rod is rotatably connected to the backboard 5 via the lower support bolt 701.

[0041] The clamping surface of the support bow plate is designed with a bevel, so there is no obstruction when it is inserted into the upright, but it needs to be manually pressed to unlock when it is pulled out. The pin and the support bow plate work together to restrict the lower support rod.

[0042] The upper and lower support rods work together to enable the installation and storage of the backboard, while ensuring its stability during use.

[0043] Before leaving the factory, the upper support rod is assembled with the backboard and upright, and the upper end of the lower support rod is assembled with the backboard. When needed, insert the lower support rod into the insertion hole of the upright. The clamping surface of the support arch plate is beveled, allowing for unobstructed insertion into the upright. The presence of the pin limits the insertion depth of the lower support rod. The pin and the support arch plate work together to restrain the lower support rod, ensuring the stability of the backboard during use. To retract the backboard, manually press the support arch plate to unlock it and pull out the lower support rod.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] Based on Embodiment 1, a backboard fixing block is installed at the top of the upper support rod, and the backboard fixing block is rotatably installed on the backboard.

[0046] The backboard has an upper support rod mounting plate 501 in the middle, with plug screw mounting holes. The lower part of the backboard has a lower support rod mounting end 502 for installing lower support bolts.

[0047] The backboard fixing block 8 has mounting ears 802 on both sides, and bolt holes 803 are opened on the mounting ears. The force-bearing rod is connected to the mounting ears through the backboard bolts. The backboard fixing block is provided with track grooves 801 on both the top and bottom. The backboard fixing block is connected to the backboard through locking screws 804. The locking screws pass through the track grooves. The track grooves cooperate with the locking screws locked on the backboard to make the backboard rotate within a certain angle along the track grooves.

[0048] The track is curved, and its length allows the backboard to rotate at least 90 degrees. This facilitates the backboard's storage on the base.

[0049] Before leaving the factory, the backboard fixing block is installed with the backboard using screws, the upper support rod is assembled with the backboard fixing block and the upright, and the upper end of the lower support rod is assembled with the backboard.

[0050] When installation and use are required, rotate the backboard to the desired angle and insert the lower support rod into the insertion hole of the upright. The clamping surface of the support plate is designed with a bevel, providing unobstructed insertion into the upright. Due to the presence of the pin, the insertion depth of the lower support rod is limited. The pin and the support plate work together to restrict the lower support rod, ensuring the stability of the backboard during use.

[0051] When you need to store it again, you need to manually press the support arch to unlock it, pull out the lower support rod, and then rotate the backboard to a suitable storage angle.

[0052] Friction pads are used to separate the upper support rod from the backboard fixing block and the lower support rod from the backboard. After locking, they have damping to prevent the backboard from moving too fast.

[0053] 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.
