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 basketball hoops and basketball hoop fixing blocks. Background Technology

[0002] In the production or installation of basketball hoops, the connection between the hoop and the fixing block on the backboard is a crucial step (such as...). Figure 1 (As shown).

[0003] The typical installation steps are as follows:

[0004] 1. Placing the basketball hoop: The operator first needs to manually insert the basketball hoop into the pre-set slot of the fixing block.

[0005] 2. Initial Fixing of the Fixing Block: Next, the operator needs to use screws to initially install and fix the fixing block supporting the rim onto the backboard (e.g., ...). Figure 2 , Figure 3 (As shown).

[0006] 3. Angle Adjustment and Locking: To ensure the slot limiting structure is fully engaged and locked, the operator must manually raise the basket ring upwards by approximately 90° to achieve the preset final installation angle (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown). This step requires applying a certain force to overcome the friction and deformation resistance between the components.

[0007] 4. Disassembly of fixing block auxiliary tools: After the basketball hoop angle is adjusted to the correct position, the operator needs to unscrew the screws used to temporarily fix the fixing block and remove the fixing block from the installation positioning fixture. At this time, the connection between the basketball hoop and the fixing block is finally locked through the slot structure.

[0008] Existing technology (manual installation) has significant drawbacks and limitations:

[0009] 1. Cumbersome and inefficient operation steps: The entire installation process includes multiple independent steps such as placement, screwing, lifting, and screw removal. The process is lengthy and time-consuming, making it difficult to adapt to the pace requirements of large-scale production.

[0010] 2. High dependence on manpower and high labor intensity: The core lifting and angle adjustment actions (especially 90° lifting) are completely dependent on manual operation. Especially during continuous operation or installation of large basketball hoops, the physical strength and endurance requirements of the operators are high.

[0011] 3. Difficulty in controlling force, prone to damage: Manual lifting is difficult to control precisely and evenly. Insufficient force may result in incomplete lifting and incomplete engagement of the locking mechanism; excessive force or uneven force can easily cause wear, scratches, or even micro-deformation (such as abrasions on the positioning surface, scratches on the mating surface, or localized plastic deformation) of key parts of the locking mechanism or the contact surface with the cage ring. This not only affects the product's appearance quality but may also damage the locking precision and locking reliability of the locking mechanism, reducing the lifespan and stability of the connection structure. Frequent disassembly and assembly operations (such as tightening screws) also increase the risk of stripping and disengagement.

[0012] 4. Difficulty in guaranteeing angle positioning accuracy: Manually raising the product by 90° is difficult to guarantee with extremely high precision and consistency, and slight deviations may occur. Although such deviations may not affect initial use, in the long run, they will affect the product's standardization level and performance consistency.

[0013] 5. Poor installation quality stability: The combined effects of the above-mentioned issues such as efficiency, strength, and precision result in the final installation quality being greatly affected by the operator's skills and condition, leading to poor stability and a high likelihood of defective products.

[0014] Therefore, the existing manual installation method has become a major bottleneck in improving product quality, production efficiency, and reducing labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is designed as a tool for quick loading and unloading of a basketball hoop and a basketball hoop fixing block.

[0016] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0017] Tools for quick assembly and disassembly of basketball rims and rim fixing blocks, including handles, brackets, bases, positioning blocks, long rods, and short rods;

[0018] The bracket is fixedly connected to the base, the handle is rotatably connected to the bracket, one end of the short rod is connected to the handle, the other end of the short rod is connected to the long rod, and the free end of the long rod is connected to a fixing head.

[0019] Preferably, a positioning block is provided on the base directly opposite the fixing head.

[0020] Preferably, the bracket has mounting holes, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the base.

[0021] Preferably, the bottom fork of the handle is rotatably connected to the bracket by a pin, and the handle is limited by the protrusion during rotation.

[0022] Preferably, the long rod has a movable mounting structure at the mounting end and a mounting position at the free end;

[0023] The short rod has mounting holes at both ends;

[0024] The handle is connected to the long rod and the short rod respectively by pins, and the handle, long rod and short rod form a strong triangular connection structure.

[0025] The long rod has a screw hole at the mounting end and a mounting position at the free end.

[0026] Preferably, the fixing head and the long rod are connected by an installation mechanism.

[0027] Preferably, the positioning block is fixedly connected to the base.

[0028] The positioning block (5) and the base (4) are fixedly connected by adhesive.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0030] Place the rim into the mounting block slot, position the rim and mounting block using the positioning block, and place them together on the base. Press down the handle to drive the long rod downwards, causing the fixing head to press down on the mounting block. Manually pull up the rim to secure it to the mounting block. Lift the handle to raise the long rod, causing the fixing head to move away from the mounting block. Remove the mounting block to complete the installation of the rim and mounting block. This method of quickly installing the rim by pressing the mounting block down with the handle and fixing head solves the problems of needing to first screw the rim and mounting block onto the backboard, then unscrewing the screws on the backboard and mounting block before removing the rim and mounting block assembly, which is complex, inefficient, and can damage the holes in the mounting block due to previous screw installation.

Figure 5-17 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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] Basketball hoop Figure 5 As shown, it consists of a hook 11, a basket ring 9, a buckle 10, etc., and the fixing block is as follows. Figure 6 As shown, there are screw holes and cylindrical slots 12 on the back. There are two limit buckles 13 on both sides of the upper part of the fixing block to fix the basketball hoop. Place the basketball hoop and the fixing block vertically. Place the basketball hoop on the back of the fixing block. Align the rainbow basketball hoop buckle with the cylindrical slot on the back of the fixing block and insert it. Turn the rainbow basketball hoop clockwise downwards until it is below the fixing block buckle, so that the fixing block buckles the rainbow basketball hoop. The fixing block buckle and the semi-circular slot below it will lock the basketball hoop in place and prevent it from coming off.

[0055] A tool for quick assembly and disassembly of a basketball hoop and its fixing block includes a handle, a bracket, a base, a positioning block, a long rod, and a short rod. The bracket is fixedly connected to the base, the handle is rotatably connected to the bracket, the handle is also connected to the fixed end of the long rod, one end of the short rod is connected to the handle, the other end of the short rod is connected to the long rod, and the free end of the long rod is connected to a fixing head.

[0056] A handle sleeve 1 is fitted onto the handle. A positioning block is provided on the base directly opposite the fixing head.

[0057] The bracket has mounting holes and its bottom is connected to the base.

[0058] The bottom of the handle is rotatably connected to the bracket via a pin, and there is a limit during the rotation of the handle.

[0059] The long rod is connected to the mounting end by a limiting structure, and the free end is provided with a mounting position; the short rod has mounting holes at both ends; the handle is connected to the long rod and the short rod by pins respectively, and the handle, long rod and short rod form a strong triangular connection structure.

[0060] The fixing head is connected to the long rod by bolts.

[0061] The positioning block is fixedly connected to the base.

[0062] Place the basketball hoop into the slot of the fixing block, position the basketball hoop and the fixing block by the positioning block 5, and place them together on the base 4. Press down the handle 2 to drive the long rod 7 down, so that the fixing head 6 presses down on the fixing block. Manually pull up the basketball hoop to fix the basketball hoop and the fixing block. Lift the handle 2 to make the long rod 7 tilt upward, and the fixing head 6 will leave the fixing block. Remove the fixing block to complete the installation of the basketball hoop and the fixing block.

[0063] Step 1: Placement and Positioning (Initial Assembly)

[0064] Carefully insert the basketball hoop into the pre-set slot or mounting hole of the fixing block (referring to the fixing block itself). Then, place the pre-assembled basketball hoop and fixing block unit together on the fixture base 4, ensuring that they are accurately positioned on the positioning block 5.

[0065] Placing the basketball hoop and fixing block assembly in one step simplifies the initial operation and reduces the number of operations per cycle. Precise positioning: Positioning block 5 plays a crucial role in this step, ensuring the precise positioning and initial stability of the basketball hoop and fixing block assembly on the base 4. This prevents misalignment in subsequent operations and is fundamental to ensuring installation accuracy.

[0066] Positioning block 5 protects the surfaces of the fixing block and the basket, preventing scratches or bumps caused during initial placement.

[0067] Step 2: Press down to fix (apply pressure)

[0068] Manually press down on handle 2. This operation, through the lever action of the handle and the internal linkage mechanism (pin connection), efficiently transmits downward pressure to the long rod 7 connected to the handle, causing the long rod 7 to move downward. The fixing head 6 at the end of the long rod 7 then moves downward and presses tightly against the upper surface of the fixing block.

[0069] The design of the downward-pressing handle 2 cleverly utilizes the lever principle, allowing the operator to apply a large clamping force with a small amount of force, greatly reducing operational intensity. The fixing head 6 reliably presses down on the fixing block, ensuring that the entire working unit (positioning block 5 on the base 4, fixing block, and basket ring) remains absolutely stable and tightly fitted throughout the subsequent lifting action, eliminating the risk of installation failure or damage due to the fixing block shaking or shifting. This is the core guarantee for achieving standardized, damage-free installation.

[0070] Step 3: Lift and lock (slot engagement)

[0071] After the fixing head 6 firmly presses down on the fixing block, the operator manually and steadily pulls (lifts) the basket ring upwards until it reaches the preset final installation angle (usually about 90°). This lifting action allows the end of the basket ring to smoothly embed into the deep groove structure of the fixing block, completing the fixed locking between the two.

[0072] This is the key action in the entire installation process. Because the fixing block is firmly and stably pressed onto the positioning block 5 by the fixture (fixing head 6), the operator experiences uniform force when lifting the basket. The fixing block provides stable and reliable support reaction force, ensuring that the basket is subjected to uniform force throughout the entire process.

[0073] Hard friction is avoided: the contact stress and frictional resistance experienced by the contact surface between the basket and the fixing block (especially the slot part) during the embedding process are greatly reduced and evenly distributed.

[0074] This step minimizes the problems most common in traditional manual installation, such as wear, scratches, and even deformation of the slots, significantly improving the quality and lifespan of the product (basket ring-fixing block connection). Simultaneously, manually lifting the basket ring allows the operator to clearly perceive the engagement process, ensuring complete positioning.

[0075] Step 4: Release the pressure (prepare to remove)

[0076] After locking is completed, the operator lifts (releases) handle 2. This action reverses the drive of the lever mechanism and long rod 7, causing long rod 7 to swing upwards, and the fixing head 6 at its end is lifted away from the upper surface of the fixing block, releasing the pressing state on the fixing block.

[0077] A simple upward lifting motion of the handle quickly releases the clamping force of the fixing head 6, facilitating subsequent removal. This rapid switching ensures smooth operation, improves work efficiency, and creates conditions for assembly line work.

[0078] Step 5: Remove the finished product (installation complete)

[0079] After the fixing head 6 is completely detached, the basketball hoop and fixing block assembly, which has been securely installed together, can be easily removed from the positioning block 5 of the base 4. The final connected unit can then be easily removed for installation. The fixing head 6 has a unique shape and material properties, possessing a certain degree of hardness while its bottom and the contact surface with the basketball hoop fixing block have a certain degree of flexibility and a high coefficient of friction. This ensures that when the fixing head 6 presses against the basketball hoop fixing block, it can both tighten the basketball hoop fixing block and prevent scratches or deformation of the basketball hoop fixing block.

[0080] Once the task is complete, the fixing block no longer needs to be removed from other fixtures or backboards (compared to the steps involved in removing the fixing block fixture in traditional manual installation), simplifying the overall process.

[0081] The original multi-step operation, which required multiple manual positioning, lifting (with uneven force), screw tightening, and disassembly of the tooling, has been simplified into five core steps: "pre-placement - pressing down - lifting the basket ring - loosening - removing the finished product," greatly streamlining the process.

[0082] By using positioning block 5 for positioning, combined with the stable large-surface pressing of the fixing head, the core pain point of wear, scratches, or even deformation of the key mating surfaces of the basket ring caused by uneven force or slippage during manual lifting is completely eliminated, greatly improving product quality and durability.

[0083] The design of the lever handle 2 and the linkage rod (long rod) makes the pressing operation, which requires a lot of force, easy and effortless. In the most critical part of raising the rim, because the fixing block is reliably pressed, the operator only needs to focus on raising the rim smoothly, making force control more precise and safer.

[0084] The positioning block ensures accurate initial positioning, and the stable holding ensures a solid action reference. This guarantees a high degree of consistency in the angle, position, and engagement depth of each installation, and improves the standardization level of the product.

[0085] The process is simplified, labor-saving, and reduces the number of steps (no more disassembling and assembling screws), increasing the first-time success rate and significantly improving overall efficiency, making it suitable for large-scale production.

[0086] 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.
