Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment manufacturing and processing, and in particular to a tool for quick assembly and disassembly of a fixing block buckle. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of modern sports facilities, basketball hoop installation is a crucial step in basketball hoop construction. Its quality and efficiency directly impact customer experience, reduce customer complaints, and ensure product lifespan. Currently, the connection between the basketball hoop and its fixing blocks commonly uses a slot-based fixing method. While this structure appears ingenious, it exposes a series of problems that urgently need to be addressed during manual installation.

[0003] From an operational perspective, traditional manual installation is cumbersome and complex. First, the installer must carefully and precisely place the basketball hoop into the fixing block (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the image, this step requires extremely high alignment precision between the rim and the fixing block; even slight deviations will affect the subsequent installation results. Next, the fixing block with the rim attached is installed onto the backboard using clips (as shown in the image). Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown), this process requires not only ensuring the fixing block is securely installed, but also ensuring the accuracy of the overall installation angle; subsequently, the basketball hoop should be raised 90° to secure it to the fixing block (as shown). Figure 4 As shown in the image, this action is not only physically demanding but also requires strict control of strength. Slight carelessness or uneven force application can cause wear and tear on the groove and the surface of the rim, shortening the component's lifespan. Finally, the clips are manually pried open from the backboard to remove the fixing block. However, to ensure installation stability, the clips on the fixing block are often designed for a tight fit, resulting in a high degree of tightness. Installers with less strength often face the challenge of not being able to pry open the clips smoothly. Furthermore, manual disassembly is not only time-consuming and laborious but also easily damages and deforms the clips, affecting their reusability.

[0004] Furthermore, the entire installation process relies entirely on manual operation without the aid of specialized tools, resulting in extremely low installation efficiency. The limitations of manual installation are becoming increasingly apparent, not only causing a poor customer experience, increasing customer complaints, and shortening product lifespan, but also increasing labor costs and material waste. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a specialized tool that can efficiently install the basketball rim and fixing blocks while ensuring easy installation and removal of the fixing block clips. This will not only effectively solve the various drawbacks of manual operation in existing technologies, but will also promote the standardization and efficiency of basketball facility installation processes.

[0034] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 5-15 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0035] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0036] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0037] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] Fixed block such as Figure 5 As shown, there are four triangular buckles 10 and cylindrical slots 8 on the back. There are two limiting buckles 9 on both sides above the fixing block to fix the basketball hoop. The basketball hoop is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the backboard consists of a hook, a rim 6, and clips 7. The red and blue backboard rim and the fixing block are placed vertically, with the rim on the back of the fixing block. The clips of the rim are aligned with the cylindrical slots on the back of the fixing block and inserted. The fixing block is then placed with its back facing down, and the four triangular clips are aligned with the four square slots on the backboard. The fixing block is pressed down, and the triangular clips engage the square slots. The inverted triangular design of the clips ensures the fixing block is securely attached to the backboard and cannot be released. The rim is then rotated counterclockwise upwards until it is below the clips on the fixing block, allowing the clips to engage. The clips on the fixing block and the semi-circular slot below it hold the rim in place, preventing it from coming loose.

[0039] A tool for quick installation and removal of a fixing block buckle includes a handle 1, a flat plate 2, a bracket 3, a U-shaped base 4, and a spring block 5. The U-shaped base is fixed to the flat plate by bolts. The handle passes through a hole in the flat plate and is rotatably connected to the bracket by a pin. The spring block is connected to the bracket by the pin. The bracket is connected to the U-shaped base by screws. The lower end of the handle is provided with a handle paddle 14 and two symmetrical handle claws 13. The spring block includes a spring block paddle 52 and two symmetrically arranged spring block claws 51. The handle paddle and the spring block paddle are fastened together. The handle claws and the spring block claws correspond to the fixing block buckle.

[0040] The end of the spring block claw is provided with a wedge-shaped guide surface that engages with the fixed block; the end of the handle claw is provided with a wedge-shaped guide surface that engages with the fixed block.

[0041] The opening direction of the U-shaped base is perpendicular to the surface of the plate, and the two side walls of the U-shaped base are provided with bolt through holes corresponding to the mounting holes of the backboard.

[0042] The plate has a wear-resistant bushing at the edge of the hole, and the handle and the wear-resistant bushing form a sliding fit structure.

[0043] The flat plate has a slot for installing the fixing block buckle, and the slot is directly opposite the handle claw and the spring block claw.

[0044] Step 1: Prepare quick loading and unloading tools.

[0045] Step Two: Component Pre-placement. First, accurately place the basketball hoop into the corresponding slot of the fixing block, ensuring a tight fit between the hoop and the fixing block. Next, place the assembled basketball hoop and fixing block stably on the plate 2, aligning the fixing block's clips with the slots on the plate 2. Then, firmly tighten the fixing block's clips to ensure a preliminary and stable connection between the fixing block and the plate 2.

[0046] Step 3: Initially secure the rim. Hold the rim with both hands and pull it upwards steadily and vertically. While pulling, carefully observe the connection between the rim and the fixing block to ensure that the interlocking structure between the rim and the fixing block is fully engaged. This initial securing of the rim and fixing block prevents loosening during subsequent operations.

[0047] Pulling up the rim with both hands achieves initial fixation. This design uses a locking structure to restrict the rim's vertical movement, effectively preventing it from shaking or falling off when the fixing blocks are loosened later. This ensures the safety of the installation process and also ensures the rim is in the correct position after final installation, avoiding performance issues caused by installation deviations.

[0048] Step 4: Activate the release mechanism. Hold handle 1 with one hand and press down on handle 1 with your arm. This will cause the spring block 5 to tilt upwards simultaneously. During operation, you need to control the pressure and speed to ensure that the paddles on handle 1 and spring block 5 can accurately move the locking block buckle, so that the buckle gradually disengages from the slot of the plate 2, completing the buckle release action.

[0049] The claws on handle 1 and spring block 5 can accurately pry open the locking block latches. The four claws on the handle and spring block pry open the four latches on the locking block respectively. The function of the handle paddle is to lift the spring block simultaneously.

[0050] Once the fixing block clips are released, hold the fixing block with both hands and slowly and steadily remove it from the plate 2. Check if the basketball hoop is securely installed in the required position. If the basketball hoop is securely installed and does not wobble, the installation of the basketball hoop and fixing block is successfully completed.

[0051] By pressing down the handle and engaging the spring block, the latch is released using a lever. This mechanical linkage design simplifies the complex disassembly process into a single-direction handle operation, making it convenient and labor-saving, and reducing the workload of installers. At the same time, the precise mechanical structure design ensures stable latch release, reducing installation failures or component damage caused by latches failing to release properly.

[0052] This installation system, through its rational structural design and rigorous operating procedures, achieves convenient, efficient, safe, and reliable installation, while reducing installation difficulty and maintenance costs.

[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.
