Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of basketball hoop cleaning technology, and in particular to an auxiliary clamping device for cleaning basketball hoops. Background Technology
[0002] A basket typically refers to a container made of metal with a mesh or fence-like structure.
[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN222063383U discloses a barrel clamping and conveying structure for cleaning raw material barrels. The structure includes a frame with a rotating conveyor chain. Multiple barrel-holding mechanisms rotate with the conveyor chain. Each barrel-holding mechanism includes a barrel-holding plate with multiple gripping claws hinged to it. A rotating shaft is located at the center of the barrel-holding plate, and a push plate is mounted on the shaft. The push plate slides along the shaft, driving the ends of the gripping claws to open and close. The rotating shaft is mounted on the conveyor chain via a fixed seat. A return spring is provided between the push plate and the fixed seat on the rotating shaft. The push plate has a locking mechanism for locking its sliding position. This invention can fix the barrel to the barrel-holding plate using the opening and closing locking gripping claws. The conveyor chain drives the barrel-holding mechanisms to rotate, completing the fixing and conveying operations of the barrel during cleaning. It is very convenient and efficient, effectively solving the problems of fixing, releasing, and conveying the barrel during automatic rinsing.
[0004] However, in the above solution, when facing the basket clamping, the opening and closing of the holding claw needs to be equipped with an additional power source (such as a cylinder / motor) to drive the holding claw to deflect and complete the clamping of the basket, which increases the equipment manufacturing cost and maintenance complexity, significantly increases energy consumption and failure rate, and the claw body covers the cleaning area of the basket, which hinders water flow and cleaning agent penetration, and water residue in the clamping area exacerbates the risk of metal corrosion. Utility Model Content
[0005] Given that existing clamping devices require an additional power source to drive the gripper claws to deflect and clamp the basket, increasing manufacturing costs and maintenance complexity, significantly raising energy consumption and failure rates, and exacerbating the risk of corrosion of the clamping device, this utility model proposes an auxiliary clamping device for cleaning baskets.
[0006] This utility model proposes an auxiliary clamping device for cleaning basketball hoops, including a lifting ring. The lower surface of the lifting ring is provided with a clamping device, which includes a positioning block for positioning the basketball hoop to be cleaned.
[0007] The outer surface of the clamping device is provided with an auxiliary device, which includes an auxiliary clamp. The auxiliary clamp contacts the surface of the basket that needs to be cleaned to clamp the basket.
[0008] Preferably, the clamping device further includes linkage rods, one end of the two linkage rods is hinged to one end of the lifting ring via a pin, and the other end of the linkage rods is fixedly mounted with a clamping block.
[0009] Preferably, a positioning rod is hinged to the outer surface of the linkage rod via a pin, and the lower surface of the positioning rod is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the positioning block.
[0010] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes a support frame, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the positioning rod, and the two ends of the support frame are hinged with deflection connecting rods by pins.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the deflection link is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the auxiliary clamp, and the outer surface of the auxiliary clamp is hinged to a push link by a pin.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the push link is hinged to a push plate via a pin, a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lifting ring, and one end of the connecting rod passes through the lower surface of the support frame and is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the push plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] By incorporating clamping and auxiliary devices, the basketball hoop can be quickly clamped, reducing the contact area with the hoop. Utilizing the hoop's own weight, the clamping block is inserted into the outer surface of the hoop, limiting its position. The lifting ring drives the linkage rod upward, causing it to deflect and stably insert the clamping block into the upper part of the hoop. The positioning block contacts the inner wall of the hoop, completing the hoop positioning and maintaining the stability of the positioning rod. The stability of the positioning rod limits the support frame. The rising of the lifting ring drives the connecting rod upward, pushing the linkage rod to drive the auxiliary clamp to clamp the hoop. Through four-point positioning clamping, the hoop's stability is maintained. This solves the technical problems of existing clamping devices that require an additional power source to drive the gripper claw to deflect and clamp the hoop, increasing equipment manufacturing costs and maintenance complexity, significantly increasing energy consumption and failure rate, and exacerbating the risk of corrosion in the clamping device.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 An auxiliary clamping device 32 for cleaning basketball hoops includes a lifting ring 1, which can be lifted by a hook. The lower surface of the lifting ring 1 is provided with a clamping device, which includes a positioning block 23, which positions the basketball hoop to be cleaned.
[0022] Specifically, in order to clamp and fix the outer surface of the basketball hoop, the clamping device also includes a linkage 2. One end of the two linkages 2 is hinged to one end of the lifting ring 1 through a pin, and the other end of the linkage 2 is fixedly installed with a clamping block 21. After the linkage 2 deflects in the direction of the descent of the lifting ring 1, it can push the clamping block 21 to move to both sides, so that the clamping block 21 is located on both sides of the basketball hoop that needs to be clamped. When the lifting ring 1 is lifted, it drives the linkage 2 to deflect inward, and the clamping block 21 can be inserted into the upper end of the basketball hoop to fix the basketball hoop. The clamping of the basketball hoop is completed by the action of gravity, reducing the input of the drive source.
[0023] Specifically, in order to position the linkage 2, a positioning rod 22 is hinged to the outer surface of the linkage 2 via a pin. The lower surface of the positioning rod 22 is fixedly installed with the outer surface of the positioning block 23. When the lifting ring 1 descends, the positioning rod 22 descends and contacts the upper surface of the basket. After the positioning block 23 is located inside the basket, it contacts the inside of the basket, thus completing the positioning of the basket with the positioning rod 22 and cooperating with the clamping block 21 to clamp the basket.
[0024] To increase the stability of the basket clamping, an auxiliary device is provided on the outer surface of the clamping device. The auxiliary device includes an auxiliary clamp 32, which contacts the surface of the basket that needs to be cleaned to clamp the basket.
[0025] Specifically, in order to support the auxiliary clamp 32, the auxiliary device also includes a support frame 3, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the positioning rod 22. The two ends of the support frame 3 are hinged with deflection connecting rods 31 through pins. The deflection of the deflection connecting rods 31 can drive the auxiliary clamp 32 to contact the outer surface of the basket, clamping the other two ends of the basket, thereby maintaining the stability of the basket's movement.
[0026] Specifically, in order to drive the auxiliary clamp 32 to deflect, one end of the deflection link 31 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the auxiliary clamp 32, and the outer surface of the auxiliary clamp 32 is hinged to the push link 33 by a pin.
[0027] Specifically, in order to drive the deflection link 31 to deflect, one end of the push link 33 is hinged to the push plate 34 via a pin. A connecting rod 35 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lifting ring 1. One end of the connecting rod 35 passes through the lower surface of the support frame 3 and is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the push plate 34. When the lifting ring 1 rises, it pulls the connecting rod 35. The rise of the connecting rod 35 drives the push plate 34, thereby driving the push link 33 at both ends to deflect. The basket is then clamped by its own weight.
[0028] By setting up a clamping device and auxiliary devices, the basketball hoop can be quickly clamped, reducing the contact area with the hoop. Utilizing the hoop's own weight, the clamping block 21 is inserted into the outer surface of the hoop, limiting its position. The lifting ring 1 drives the linkage rod 2 to rise, causing the linkage rod 2 to deflect, thus ensuring the clamping block 21 is stably inserted into the upper end of the hoop. The positioning block 23 contacts the inner wall of the hoop, completing the positioning of the hoop and maintaining the stability of the positioning rod 22. The stability of the positioning rod 22 allows the support frame 3 to be limited. The rise of the lifting ring 1 drives the connecting rod 35 to rise, pushing the linkage rod 33, which in turn drives the auxiliary clamp 32 to clamp the hoop. Through four-point positioning clamping, the stability of the hoop can be maintained. This solves the technical problems of existing clamping devices that require an additional power source to drive the gripper claw to deflect and complete the clamping of the hoop, increasing equipment manufacturing costs and maintenance complexity, significantly increasing energy consumption and failure rate, and exacerbating the risk of corrosion of the clamping device.
[0029] Working principle: When the basketball hoop needs to be cleaned, the positioning rod 22 is lowered by the lifting ring 1. After the upper surface of the positioning rod 22 contacts the upper surface of the basketball hoop, the positioning block 23 contacts the inner wall of the basketball hoop. The lifting ring 1 descends under the descent of the hook, pushing the linkage rod 2 to deflect. This allows the clamping block 21 on the linkage rod 2 to be located on both sides of the outer surface of the basketball hoop. The auxiliary clamp 32 is located on both sides of the basketball hoop. As the lifting ring 1 rises, it drives the linkage rod 2 to deflect inward. The clamping block 21 on the linkage rod 2 can then be inserted into the basketball hoop, completing the fixation of the basketball hoop. The rise of the lifting ring 1 drives the connecting plate 34 to rise through the connecting rod 35. The pushing plate 34 drives the pushing rod 33 to deflect. After pulling the deflection connecting rod 31 to deflect, the auxiliary clamp 32 contacts the outer surface of the basketball hoop, completing the fixation of the basketball hoop.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
