[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] See Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a toy basketball hoop, which includes a back plate 1, a hoop assembly 3, a light source assembly 2, and a power supply 4.

[0032] The back panel 1 serves as an installation carrier for mounting the ball basket assembly 3, the light source assembly 2, and the power supply 4. A groove 10 is provided on the front end face of the back panel 1 for mounting the light source assembly 2. A hanging hole or hook is provided on the rear end face of the back panel 1 for hanging the back panel 1 on the wall.

[0033] The basket assembly 3 is used for shooting and includes a mounting base 31 and a basket body 32. The mounting base 31 is fixed to the front end face of the back plate 1, located on the front center line of the back plate 1 and positioned at a lower position. The basket body 32 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 31. The rotation axis of the basket body 32 is parallel to the horizontal plane, thereby enabling folding and unfolding.

[0034] The light source assembly 2 includes a light source 21 and a light guide 22. The light source 21 is disposed in the groove 10 and includes a substrate and LED beads 211 disposed on the substrate. The LED beads 211 face the open end (open end) of the groove 10, that is, the light-emitting end of the LED beads 211 is arranged facing forward. The light guide 22 is embedded in the open end (open end) of the groove 10 and encapsulates the light source 21 in the groove 10.

[0035] Power supply 4 is used to supply power and is located on the rear end face of back plate 1. Power supply 4 is electrically connected to light source 21. A switch is provided between power supply 4 and light source 21. In this embodiment, power supply 4 includes a battery box with a battery compartment inside. The battery compartment is used to install batteries, and the switch is located on the side wall of the battery compartment.

[0036] This application utilizes a foldable ball basket assembly. The basket body is connected to the mounting base via a rotation axis parallel to the horizontal plane, allowing for folding and unfolding. In the folded state, it significantly reduces the overall volume, making it easy to store or carry. When unfolded, it quickly returns to its usable state, making it particularly suitable for spaces with limited availability, such as homes and children's rooms. The rear end of the back panel has hanging holes or hooks for direct wall mounting. Installation requires no complicated tools and does not occupy floor space, making it suitable for various wall surfaces.

[0037] The light source is located in a groove on the front side of the back panel. The light guide is embedded in the open end of the groove and encapsulates the light source to prevent children from directly contacting the LED beads, thus preventing scratches or electric shock risks. At the same time, it protects the light source from damage caused by external impacts and extends its service life. The light-emitting end of the LED beads is set to face forward, and together with the light guide, it can evenly guide the light. This can illuminate the basketball hoop area in dim environments, improving the safety of playing at night, and also enhance the visual fun of shooting through light and shadow effects, attracting children's attention.

[0038] This utility model of a toy basketball hoop, through its foldable storage and safe light source encapsulation design, ensures safety while also taking into account spatial adaptability, fun, and ease of use. It has a wide range of applications and good performance.

[0039] To improve structural strength and facilitate installation, at least two reinforcing rods 11 are provided on the rear end face of the back plate 1. An installation area is formed between two adjacent reinforcing rods 11. The depth of the installation area is greater than or equal to the thickness of the power supply 4. The power supply 4 is located in the installation area, and hooks or hanging holes are provided on the reinforcing rods 11. In this embodiment, the length direction of the reinforcing rods 11 is parallel to the width direction of the back plate 1, that is, it is set vertically. There are two of them, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rear end of the back plate 1. The ends of the reinforcing rods 11 are provided with chamfers or rounded corners.

[0040] The reinforcing rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rear end along the width of the back panel, effectively forming longitudinal reinforcing ribs on the rear surface of the back panel, which significantly improves the bending resistance of the back panel. When the basketball hoop assembly is subjected to the impact of shooting or the back panel is suspended from the wall, the reinforcing rods can distribute stress, preventing the back panel from deforming or breaking due to long-term stress, thus extending the product's service life. The symmetrical arrangement of the two reinforcing rods ensures that the back panel is evenly stressed when suspended, reducing tilting or instability caused by excessive load on one side, which is especially suitable for dynamic stress scenarios when children repeatedly shoot. An installation area is formed between adjacent reinforcing rods, and the depth of the installation area is greater than or equal to the thickness of the power supply. The power supply (battery box) is located in this area, achieving physical isolation and fixation. This design prevents wear on the outer shell caused by direct friction between the power supply and the wall, protecting the internal battery and circuit safety. The power supply is located in the installation area and does not protrude from the rear surface of the back panel, making the overall structure flatter and allowing for a tighter fit with the wall when suspended, reducing wobbling caused by gaps and improving installation stability.

[0041] In this embodiment, a metal sheet 13 is provided on the rear end face of the back panel 1, and hanging holes are provided on the metal sheet 13. The tensile strength and rigidity of the metal sheet are much higher than those of the plastic or wood material of the back panel itself. The hanging holes are provided on the metal sheet, which can directly concentrate the tension during hanging on the metal sheet, and prevent the hanging holes from tearing or deforming from the back panel material due to long-term stress. This is especially suitable for high-intensity scenarios where children use the back panel repeatedly. The metal sheet is fixed to the rear end face of the back panel by screws or other means, which is convenient to install and has low manufacturing cost.

[0042] In this application, both the channel 10 and the light guide 22 are strip-shaped, and the light source is a flexible LED strip. The strip structure can extend horizontally or vertically along the back panel to form a strip light strip, accurately illuminating the basketball hoop area and avoiding light dispersion. Compared with point or circular light sources, the strip lighting range is more in line with the long strip outline of the basketball hoop, improving the visual clarity of shooting at night and reducing misjudgments caused by uneven light. Moreover, the linear characteristics of the strip light source can naturally guide children's eyes to focus on the basketball hoop, enhancing the recognition of the shooting target, especially suitable for young children to quickly locate the shooting position and enhance the immersion of playing. The strip light guide can be designed with uniform light guide points or textures along its length. Combined with the LED beads arranged along the length of the strip channel, it can evenly guide the light along the strip direction, avoiding local overly bright or dark areas, reducing the stimulation of children's eyes from direct light, and improving the comfort of playing for a long time. Compared with large-area light sources, the light-emitting area of ​​the strip light source is controllable, which can meet the basic lighting needs without affecting other areas of the room due to excessive light.

[0043] To enhance aesthetics, a decorative painting is provided on the front surface of the back panel 1. The light source component 2 corresponds to the decorative painting and serves as part of it. In this embodiment, the light source component 2 forms the outline of the decorative painting. As part of the decorative painting, the light source component (strip light guide) can outline the painting's contours and illuminate the details of the pattern, giving the static image a dynamic visual hierarchy. In this embodiment, the light source component 2 is shaped like a handle, but it can also be a ring structure of other shapes. The light source component is no longer an independent additional part but is integrated into the overall composition of the decorative painting, avoiding the light source from being abrupt and damaging the aesthetics, thus achieving the concealment of the lighting function. The combined design of the decorative painting and the light source component enhances the basic aesthetics through the decorative painting and uses the light source to give the static pattern dynamic light and shadow effects. At the same time, it hides the light source structure and enhances interactive fun, ultimately upgrading the toy basketball hoop from a single-function toy into a comprehensive children's product with decorative, interactive, and atmosphere-creating capabilities, satisfying children's dual needs for fun and visual appeal. In this embodiment, the light source component is a ring structure with the ends connected. The ball basket component 3 is located below the ring structure. The ring structure naturally has the visual attribute of central focusing. The closed design with the ends connected can form a visual frame, naturally guiding the child's attention to the central area of ​​the ring.

[0044] In this application, the light guide 22 has a light-incident surface facing the light source 21 and a light-exit surface facing away from the light source 21. A recessed hole is formed on the light-incident surface to form a light-incident hole 2210. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the light-incident hole 2210 is trapezoidal, and the light-exit surface is an outwardly convex arc surface, forming a three-dimensional structure. A strip-shaped groove 2220 is formed on the side wall of the light guide 22. At the same time, a strip-shaped protrusion 101 corresponding to the strip-shaped groove 2220 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 10. During installation, the rear end of the light guide 22 is embedded in the groove, and the strip-shaped protrusion on the side wall of the groove is engaged with the strip-shaped groove on the side wall of the light guide 22. Within 2220, rapid installation is achieved; the interlocking structure of the strip-shaped slot 2220 and the strip-shaped protrusion 101 of the slot body provides clear guidance. During installation, the light guide can be inserted along the length of the slot and snapped into the slot without the need for additional tools or complex alignment, greatly improving assembly efficiency; the large contact area of ​​the strip-shaped interlocking structure and the mechanical engagement between the slot and the protrusion can effectively resist vibration or slight external force during use, preventing loosening or falling off. Compared with screw fixing, this structure does not require drilling, can maintain the integrity of the light guide, reduce the number of parts, lower costs, and is convenient and quick to install and remove. Meanwhile, a light inlet is provided, and its beveled design can expand the range of light incident angle of the light source and reduce the loss of light escaping from the edge of the light inlet. It is especially suitable for scenarios with multiple LED beads arranged linearly, improving the overall light effect. In addition, its concave structure forms a clearance hole to avoid contact with the LED beads, providing accommodation space for the installation of LED beads, preventing the light guide from directly pressing the beads and causing damage, and reducing the installation space, especially the thickness dimension space. The light-emitting surface of the light guide is an outward convex arc surface, which is located outside the back plate 1, forming a three-dimensional structure, which can enhance the sense of layering and three-dimensional visual effect of the decorative painting, so that the light is softly diffused after being refracted by the arc surface.

[0045] In this embodiment, the light guide 22 includes a light guide body 221 and mounting portions 222 disposed on both sides of the light guide body 221. A strip-shaped slot 2220 is formed on the mounting portion 222. The light guide body 221 and the mounting portion 222 are integrally formed by extrusion to form a profile. The light guide body 221 is made of light guide material. The light guide body 221 focuses on light transmission, using a high-transmittance light guide material to ensure efficient and uniform light transmission and diffusion within the structure. The mounting portions 222 on both sides serve as connecting structures, focusing on mechanical connection with the groove and not requiring light guiding functionality. This partitioned design of optics and structure avoids the performance imbalance caused by traditional single-structure designs that balance light guiding and installation, maximizing the optically effective area of ​​the light guide body, improving light utilization, and ensuring connection strength. It maximizes optical performance while strengthening the stability of the structural connection. The slots in the mounting portions prevent interference with light guiding, and the extrusion molding achieves structural integration at low cost and high efficiency. Ultimately, the light guide in the toy basketball hoop can both evenly and softly illuminate the decorative painting and allow for quick and stable assembly, balancing optical effect, structural reliability, and production economy. In this embodiment, the light guide 22 is made of silicone. The silicone light guide's softness and impact resistance ensure child safety; its high light transmittance and weather resistance meet light guiding requirements; and its easy processing and environmentally resistant physical properties reduce production and maintenance costs.

[0046] The structure of the ball basket assembly is described below:

[0047] The rear end face of the mounting base 31 serves as the mounting surface, which can conform to the surface of the back plate. A mounting groove 3310 and multiple mounting holes are provided on the mounting surface. The mounting groove 3310 is strip-shaped, with its length parallel to the length direction of the back plate 1, and both ends extending to the sides of the mounting base 31. Simultaneously, horizontal support surfaces 312 are provided at both ends of the mounting base 31. A cylindrical body 313 corresponding to the mounting holes is provided at the front end of the mounting base 31. This cylindrical body 313 is used to accommodate screws. During installation, the screw passes through the back plate from back to front and connects with the mounting hole, extending into the cylindrical body 313. The cylindrical design reduces the overall thickness of the mounting base 31, improving structural compactness and aesthetics, and avoiding a bulky structure. Multiple mounting holes are located on the upper and lower sides of the mounting groove. The ball basket body 32 includes a ring 3. 23 and a connecting structure disposed on the annular body 323. The connecting structure includes a first rod 321 for mounting in the mounting groove 3310 and capable of rotation, and second rods 322 disposed at both ends of the first rod 321. The second rods 322 are perpendicular to the first rod. The annular body 323 is disposed between the two second rods 322. The first rod 321 can rotate in the mounting groove 3310. The horizontal support surface 312 can contact the second rods 322 to provide support and limit their movement. Specifically, when unfolded, the basket body 32 rotates to a horizontal position, and the second rods 322 contact the horizontal support surface to provide support and limit the movement of the basket body 32. At this time, a shot can be taken. When folded (folded up), the basket body 32 rotates upward and fits against the front surface of the back plate 1. Its structure is compact and easy to use.
