Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sporting goods, specifically to a basketball hoop. Background Technology

[0002] Common children's basketball hoops typically consist of a base, support frame, backboard, and rim. The support frame is connected to the base, the backboard is connected to the support frame, and the rim is mounted on the backboard. Existing children's basketball hoops lack a ball-catching mechanism under the rim. After a child shoots, the basketball passes through the rim and falls to the ground, bouncing in unpredictable directions. This results in an unpredictable landing point, requiring children to constantly retrieve the ball in different directions. This cumbersome process significantly impacts children's shooting experience and play efficiency, leading to a poor overall playing experience.

[0003] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0051] See Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a basketball hoop, including: a base 1, a support 2, and a top frame 3. The base 1 is provided with a ball channel 121 and a drive mechanism 13. The drive mechanism 13 is used to drive a basketball within the ball channel 121, causing the basketball to move out of the ball channel 121. The support 2 is disposed on the base 1. The top frame 3 is disposed on the top of the support 2, and a basketball ring 32 is disposed on the top frame 3. The ball channel 121 has a receiving port 1211 and a discharging port 1212. The projection of the basketball ring 32 onto the base 1 at least partially falls into the receiving port 1211. The discharging port 1212 and the basketball ring 32 are located on the same side of the support 2. The basketball hoop of this application has a ball channel 121 and a drive mechanism 13 on its base 1. When children are playing and shooting, the basketball thrown into the hoop 32 can smoothly fall into the ball channel 121 through the receiving port 1211. The drive mechanism 13 moves the basketball that has fallen into the ball channel 121 out through the exit port 1212. The exit port 1212 faces the shooting position, which allows the basketball to automatically roll to the vicinity of the shooting position, making it convenient for children to pick up the basketball nearby and then make the next shooting operation. Using the basketball hoop of this application is very convenient and efficient in retrieving the ball, and provides a good playing experience for children.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a sensing module 14 is installed on the base 1, and the sensing module 14 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 13. When a basketball enters the ball channel 121, the sensing module 14 is triggered to generate a corresponding trigger signal to control the drive mechanism 13 to start. The ball receiving port 1211 faces the basket ring 32, and the ball exit port 1212 faces the shooting position. The direction of the ball receiving port 1211 is perpendicular to the direction of the ball exit port 1212, making the ball channel 121 a curved channel. When a basketball falls into the ball channel 121 and rolls along the curved ball channel 121, it may not have enough rolling force and may not be able to roll out of the ball exit port 1212. By using the sensing module 14 electrically connected to the drive mechanism 13, when the sensing module 14 senses that a basketball has entered the ball channel 121, it will trigger the sensing module 14 to generate a corresponding trigger signal, controlling the drive mechanism 13 to start and move the basketball out of the ball channel 121.

[0053] like Figure 3As shown, the sensing module 14 is disposed on the edge of the ball receiving port 1211, with the sensing end of the sensing module 14 facing the ball receiving port 1211. The sensing module 14 can be a power switch, which can be disposed on the edge of the ball receiving port 1211. When a basketball falls into the ball receiving port 1211, the power switch can be triggered to generate a corresponding trigger signal. The sensing module 14 can also be an infrared sensor, which can include a transmitting module and a receiving module. The transmitting module and the receiving module are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the edge of the ball receiving port 1211. When the basketball passes through the ball receiving port 1211, the infrared signal emitted between the transmitting module and the receiving module is blocked by the basketball, and the infrared sensor senses the ball's trajectory, triggering the drive mechanism 13 to start. When no basketball passes through, the drive mechanism 13 will not be triggered, which also saves power.

[0054] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 13 includes a roller 131 and a driver 132. The roller 131 is at least partially located inside the ball channel 121. The driver 132 and the roller 131 are in a transmission engagement to drive the roller 131 to rotate. When the basketball passes through the receiving port 1211, the basketball blocks the infrared signal, so the receiving module cannot receive the infrared signal emitted by the transmitting module, which triggers the driver 132 to operate, driving the roller 131 to rotate. The driver 132 includes a motor 1321, and a drive gear 1322 is connected to the shaft of the motor 1321. The roller 131 is provided with a drive gear 1311, and the drive gear 1322 and the drive gear 1311 mesh with each other. The direction of rotation of the roller 131 is towards the ball outlet 1212. The operation of the motor 1321 causes the rotating shaft to drive the drive gear 1322, drive gear 1311 and roller 131 to rotate in sequence, so that the basketball that has fallen into the ball channel 121 moves in the ball channel 121 and rolls out from the ball outlet 1212.

[0055] like Figure 3 Figure 4 As shown, the basketball hoop includes two drive mechanisms 13, both of which are mounted on the base 1. The two drive mechanisms 13 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the support 2. The rollers 131 of the two drive mechanisms 13 are partially located in the ball channel 121, and the rollers 131 of the two drive mechanisms 13 are located on opposite sides of the ball channel 121. This allows the basketball entering the ball channel 121 to drive the rollers 131 to rotate towards the ball outlet 1212 at both the top and bottom ends of the basketball. This ensures that the force on the basketball is balanced when it rolls in the ball channel 121. The basketball can then roll out of the ball outlet 1212 and move towards the shooting position, making it convenient for children to pick up the basketball nearby and perform the next shooting operation.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 includes a housing 11 and a ball conduit 12. The ball conduit 12 is disposed within the housing 11 and has a ball channel 121. The drive mechanism 13 is located inside the housing 11 and is connected to the ball conduit 12. The position of the drive mechanism 13 does not interfere with the movement of the basketball within the ball channel 121.

[0057] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the basketball hoop includes a counter 4, which is mounted on the top frame 3. The counter 4 has a display screen, and the sensing module 14 is communicatively connected to the counter. When the sensing signal detects a basketball entering the hoop, it triggers the counter 4 to increment by 1 and updates the count value on the display screen.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top frame 3 has a backboard 31, a rim 32 connected to the backboard 31, and a counter 4 mounted on the backboard 31. The display screen of the counter 4 is located on the side of the backboard 31 near the rim 32, and the backboard 31 is vertical for easy viewing of the numbers displayed on the screen. The rim 32 is detachably connected to the backboard 31, and a connecting post 321 with external threads is provided at one end of the rim 32 near the backboard 31. The backboard 31 has a connecting hole 311, and the basketball hoop has a connecting cap 6 with internal threads. When the rim 32 is connected to the backboard 31, the connecting post 321 passes through the connecting hole 311 and is threaded into the internal thread of the connecting cap 6. The detachable structure facilitates assembly, and when not in use, the rim 32 can be easily removed to reduce the space occupied by the basketball hoop and facilitate storage.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the basketball hoop includes a hanging bracket 5, which is connected to the support frame 2. The hanging bracket 5 can move and be fixed along the support frame 2. The hanging bracket 5 extends away from the basketball hoop 32 and is used to hang items, such as clothes, bags, water cups, etc. The hanging bracket 5 can move and be fixed along the support frame 2, and its height is adjustable to suit people of different heights.

[0060] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7, Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the hanger 5 includes a mounting base 51, a hanging rod 52, and a resilient locking tongue 53. Limiting grooves 212 are provided on both sides of the support 2, extending along the height direction of the support 2. Multiple locking grooves 211 are provided on the support 2, arranged sequentially along the length direction of the support 2. The mounting base 51 has two side arms 511 and a connecting body 512 connecting the two side arms 511. Limiting ribs 5111 are provided on the side arms 511. The hanging rod 52 is connected to the connecting body 512, and the resilient locking tongue 53 is provided on the connecting body 512. When the hanger 5 is connected to the support 2, the two side arms 511 are located on both sides of the support 2, and the limiting ribs 5111 of the two side arms 511 are respectively embedded in the corresponding limiting grooves 212 on the support 2. The resilient locking tongue 53 is engaged in the locking grooves 211. A spring (not shown) is provided between the elastic locking tongue 53 and the inner shell of the connecting body 512. The end of the elastic locking tongue 53 facing away from the bracket 2 has a guide post 531. The spring is sleeved on the guide post 531, with one end of the spring abutting against the elastic locking tongue 53 and the other end abutting against the inner shell of the connecting body 512. When adjusting the position of the hanger 5, hold the hanger 5 by hand and move it along the height direction of the bracket 2. At this time, the elastic locking tongue 53 will move out of the locking groove 211, and the bracket 2 will push the elastic locking tongue 53 towards the hanging rod 52, compressing the spring. When the hanger 5 moves to the appropriate height, the spring returns to its original shape, pushing the elastic locking tongue 53 into the corresponding locking groove 211.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 11As shown, the bracket 2 includes an upper rod 21 and a lower rod 22. The lower rod 22 is connected to the base 1, and the upper rod 21 is connected to the blue plate. The upper rod 21 is movably connected to the lower rod 22. The lower rod 22 has a hollow cavity, and part of the upper rod 21 is located in the hollow cavity. A locking groove 211 is provided on the side of the upper rod 21 near the hanger 5. A plurality of fixing grooves 213 are provided on the side of the upper rod 21 away from the hanger 5, and each fixing groove 213 is arranged sequentially along the length direction of the upper rod 21. A locking member 222 is provided on the lower rod 22, and the locking member 222 is hinged to the upper rod 21. The locking member 222 has a locking part 2221. The upper rod 21 can slide and be positioned along the lower rod 22. When the upper rod 21 is positioned on the lower rod 22, the locking part 2221 is engaged with the fixing groove 213. Under the action of external force, rotating the locking member 222 allows the locking part 2221 to disengage from the fixing groove 213, enabling the upper rod 21 and the lower rod 22 to slide relative to each other. This adjusts the overlap height of the upper rod 21 and the lower rod, thereby adjusting the height of the bracket 2 and facilitating the folding of the bracket 2. This allows the basketball hoop of this application to be lowered when not in use, resulting in a smaller footprint and easier storage. During use, the height can be adjusted according to the user's height.
