Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment, and in particular to a telescopic diagonal rod with positioning and anti-fall-off functions. Background Technology
[0002] The global basketball hoop market continues to expand, driven by the fitness boom and the growing popularity of basketball. Market demand is strong, particularly for high-quality basketball hoops in commercial real estate, entertainment venues, schools, public parks, and community centers. Furthermore, increasing demand for home entertainment is also fueling the need for basketball hoops from individuals and families. Basketball hoop technology is constantly innovating to meet consumer demand for high-quality, multi-functional products. New basketball hoops are continuously being optimized in terms of design, materials, and functionality.
[0003] To enhance the convenience of basketball, simple basketball hoops are becoming increasingly popular. To increase the stability of these hoops, support bars are often added to secure the main pole. Foldable support bars are becoming more widely used for easier storage. Existing support bars are often non-foldable, which is inconvenient for storage and installation. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is specially designed with a telescopic diagonal rod that has positioning and anti-fall-off functions, which can stably support the basketball hoop even when stored.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A telescopic tie rod with positioning and anti-fall-off functions is provided. The tie rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main rod and include a thin tie rod and a thick tie rod. The thin tie rod is fitted inside the thick tie rod through a telescopic mechanism. The telescopic mechanism includes a limit switch and an elastic pin. The elastic pin is installed and fixed inside the thin tie rod. The thick tie rod is provided with an elastic pin limit groove corresponding to the elastic pin. The limit switch is fitted and fixed on the thick tie rod and has a protrusion opposite the elastic pin limit groove.
[0007] The telescopic mechanism also includes a bow plate, which includes an arch-shaped piece located inside the inclined thin rod and a clamping surface with an inclined surface located at the end of the arch-shaped piece. Both the inclined thin rod and the inclined thick rod are provided with clamping grooves that are adapted to the clamping surface.
[0008] The inclined tie rod is equipped with a baffle to block the bow plates.
[0009] The bottom of the diagonal tie rod is rotatably connected to the base via a slip bolt and a pin.
[0010] The bottom of the diagonal tie rod has a U-shaped groove.
[0011] The live bolt is fixed to the base by a nut.
[0012] The diagonal tie rod is rotatably connected to the main rod via a slip bolt and a pin.
[0013] The main rod is equipped with a tie rod mounting seat.
[0014] The bottom of the inclined tie rod has a U-shaped groove.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] The elastic pin and bow plate are installed and fixed inside the thinner diagonal tie rod, while the thicker diagonal tie rod has a corresponding limiting groove. When the main rod is upright, the elastic pin and bow plate, under the action of internal elastic force, will engage in the limiting groove of the thicker diagonal tie rod, thus maintaining the stability of the main rod. When the protrusion on the limit switch is pressed manually, the protrusion will squeeze the elastic pin, causing it to disengage from the limiting groove. The bow plate is not controlled by the elastic switch; its pressing surface is a beveled design, providing one-way limiting. This ensures that when the protrusion on the limit switch is pressed manually, the thinner diagonal tie rod will not disengage from the thicker diagonal tie rod, but it can move inwards into the thicker diagonal tie rod.
[0017] The thick and thin tie rods are connected to the base and main rod via swivel bolts and pins. The swivel bolts can provide spatial freedom for the entire tie rod system. Attached Figure Description
