Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports device technology, specifically an outdoor basketball storage mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A basketball hoop is a piece of basketball equipment and an essential component of a basketball court. It typically consists of a support pole erected at the center of each end of the court, a backboard fixed to the support pole, and a basket mounted on the backboard. In outdoor basketball courts, basketball storage bins are often installed on the basketball hoops to facilitate timely exercise for players, thus defining the location of the basketballs.

[0003] In outdoor basketball courts, basketball storage bins with upward-facing openings are typically installed on the basketball hoops to improve the convenience of basketball use. By placing the basketballs inside the storage bins, they can be easily retrieved and stored. However, since basketball courts are located outdoors, rainwater will fall into the storage bins when it rains, causing the basketballs inside to be directly submerged in water. Over time, the rainwater will accelerate the damage to the basketballs, reducing their lifespan. Therefore, we propose an outdoor basketball storage mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing outdoor basketball storage mechanisms, this utility model provides an outdoor basketball storage mechanism with the advantage of having an opening facing the basketball barrel and a lid positioned at the top of the barrel. The lid effectively blocks rainwater, preventing rainwater from flowing into the inside of the barrel and causing corrosion to the basketballs. This solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor basketball storage mechanism, including a column, an externally movably fitted mounting plate, an mounting seat mounted on the rear end of the mounting plate via an angle adjustment seat, a crossbar fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting seat, a bucket lid fitted onto the lower end of the crossbar via two sets of mounting sleeves, a basketball storage bucket movably fitted onto the lower end of the bucket lid, the basketball bucket being located at the rear end of the column, and a round tube fixedly connected to the lower end of the basketball bucket.

[0006] Preferably, a basketball hoop is installed at the top of the column, and a basket is installed at the front end of the basketball hoop.

[0007] Preferably, bolts are installed on the side of the mounting plate, and the bolts pass through the mounting plate and are fitted to both sides of the column.

[0008] Preferably, the rear end of the crossbar protrudes outward, and fastening bolts are installed at the upper ends of the two sets of mounting sleeves, which are movably sleeved on the outside of the crossbar.

[0009] Preferably, the angle adjustment seat drives the mounting seat to move at a 360° angle at the front end of the mounting plate, and the ball barrel is vertically installed at the lower end of the crossbar.

[0010] Preferably, the lid is fitted onto the upper end of the ball barrel, and a cavity is formed on the inner side of the ball barrel, with a basketball placed inside the cavity.

[0011] Preferably, a locking tube is movably sleeved inside the circular tube, and the locking tube passes through the circular tube and extends into the cavity inside the spherical barrel.

[0012] Compared with existing outdoor basketball storage facilities, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This outdoor basketball storage mechanism places the basketball inside a basketball barrel, and a sleeve connects the barrel to the outside of a crossbar. The space inside the barrel can hold the basketball. In rainy weather, the lid protects the basketball from rain and extends its lifespan. A locking tube is installed inside the round tube, which passes through the round tube and restricts the position of the basketball inside the barrel. When the basketball needs to be retrieved, the locking tube is removed, and the basketball automatically falls down from inside the barrel, improving the convenience of retrieving and placing the basketball.

[0014] 2. This outdoor basketball storage mechanism uses an angle adjustment seat installed between the mounting plate and the mounting base. The angle adjustment seat rotates the crossbar, causing the lower end of the basketball barrel to move to the upper end. This improves the convenience of taking and placing the basketball inside the barrel, eliminating the need to remove the barrel lid from the outside of the crossbar when placing the basketball.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An outdoor basketball storage mechanism includes a column 1, with a mounting plate 3 movably sleeved on the outside of the column 1. The mounting plate 3 is installed at the rear end of the column 1 to improve the stability when the position of the mounting plate 3 is limited. A mounting seat 6 is installed at the rear end of the mounting plate 3 via an angle adjustment seat 5. The angle adjustment seat 5 drives the angle of a crossbar 7 to be adjusted. A crossbar 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting seat 6. A bucket lid 9 is sleeved on the lower end of the crossbar 7 via two sets of mounting sleeves 8. The bucket lid 9 seals the upper part of the basketball bucket 10 and protects the basketball. A basketball bucket 10 is movably sleeved on the lower end of the bucket lid 9. The cavity formed inside the basketball bucket 10 can hold the basketball. The basketball bucket 10 is located at the rear end of the column 1. A round tube 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the basketball bucket 10. A locking tube 12 is installed inside the round tube 11 to limit the position of the basketball.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 A basketball hoop 2 is installed at the top of the column 1, and a basket is installed at the front of the basketball hoop 2. The basketball hoop 2 is installed at the top of the column 1, and the basket is installed through the basketball hoop 2. Shooting can be performed through the basket to achieve the purpose of fitness exercise.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 Bolts 4 are installed on the side of the mounting plate 3. The bolts 4 pass through the mounting plate 3 and are attached to both sides of the column 1. By installing the mounting plate 3 at the rear end of the column 1, the ball barrel 10 is driven to be set at the rear end of the column 1. That is, when the user shoots, the ball barrel 10 will not interfere with the shooting operation. At the same time, rotating the bolts 4 will effectively drive the mounting plate 3 to be positioned outside the column 1.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 The rear end of the crossbar 7 protrudes outward, and fastening bolts are installed on the upper ends of the two sets of mounting sleeves 8. The two sets of mounting sleeves 8 are movably fitted onto the outside of the crossbar 7. The mounting sleeves 8 are installed on the upper part of the bucket lid 9 through the fastening bolts. At the same time, after the two sets of mounting sleeves 8 are spliced ​​together, the spliced ​​mounting sleeves 8 can be fitted onto the outside of the crossbar 7. Meanwhile, the rear end of the crossbar 7 protrudes outward, that is, after the mounting sleeves 8 are fitted onto the outside of the crossbar 7, the ball bucket 10 is prevented from shaking out due to vibration or other reasons.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 The angle adjustment seat 5 drives the mounting seat 6 to move 360° at the front end of the mounting plate 3. The ball barrel 10 is vertically installed at the lower end of the crossbar 7. It is installed between the mounting plate 3 and the mounting seat 6 through the angle adjustment seat 5. That is, the crossbar 7 can rotate around the mounting plate 3. When placing the basketball, after disassembling the round tube 11, the ball barrel 10 is turned upside down, that is, the ball barrel 10 faces upwards, which can drive the basketball to be placed. This avoids the need to disassemble the ball barrel 10 as a whole when placing a basketball, thereby improving the convenience of picking it up.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 The lid 9 is fitted onto the upper end of the ball barrel 10. A cavity is formed inside the ball barrel 10, and a basketball is placed inside the cavity. By setting the lid 9 on the upper end of the ball barrel 10 and placing the basketball inside the cavity, the basketball can be placed. In rainy or snowy weather, the lid 9 effectively prevents rainwater from entering the interior of the ball barrel 10, thereby preventing damage to the basketball during placement and extending the service life of the basketball.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 A locking tube 12 is movably connected inside the round tube 11. The locking tube 12 passes through the round tube 11 and extends into the cavity inside the ball barrel 10. The basketball is placed inside the barrel lid 9 through the round tube 11. The locking tube 12 is inserted and installed inside the round tube 11. The locking tube 12 passes through the round tube 11 and extends into the cavity inside the ball barrel 10. At the same time, the locking tube 12 restricts the position of the basketball to ensure that the basketball remains stable when positioned. When it is necessary to remove the basketball, the locking tube 12 is removed, and the locking tube 12 stops restricting the basketball, that is, the basketball can be taken out from the inside of the ball barrel 10.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the mounting plate 3 is installed on the outside of the column 1, and the bolt 4 restricts the position of the mounting plate 3 on the outside of the column 1. At the same time, the mounting sleeve 8 is installed on the upper part of the bucket lid 9 and is sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 7. The basketball is placed inside the ball bucket 10. A locking tube 12 is installed inside the round tube 11. The locking tube 12 restricts the position of the basketball. That is, when the basketball is placed, the bucket lid 9 effectively isolates rainwater. At the same time, the locking tube 12 is removed, and the locking tube 12 stops restricting the basketball, that is, the basketball is automatically taken out from the inside of the ball bucket 10.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
