Solution Overview

Problem

Existing basketball stands are inconvenient to move, dismount, and store due to their fixed nature, limiting their usage and accessibility, especially in recreational and fitness settings where site compatibility is a concern.

Innovation Solution

A base with a storage function that includes a hemispheric basketball storage recess and support frame storage grooves, equipped with fixing grooves and wheels for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing for the basketball stand to be broken down and stored efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If fixed type basketball stands are used, then strength and rigidity are ensured, but ease of movement and storage is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestrength and rigidityVSAvoidease of movement and storage

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The basketball stand is divided into detachable components including a base, support frames, and basket assembly that can be separated and stored independently. The base housing contains storage cavities for these components, enabling easy disassembly and storage while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support frames and basket assembly are stored within the base housing when not in use. The base housing contains internal cavities and storage grooves that accommodate these components, creating a nested storage configuration that facilitates compact storage and easy deployment.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of operation

If detachable basketball stands are used, then ease of movement is improved, but ease of mounting and storage is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of movementVSAvoidease of mounting and storage

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The base housing is pre-configured with storage cavities, mounting grooves, and fixing structures before use. These pre-formed features guide the assembly process and simplify mounting operations, reducing the complexity of detachable stand assembly and storage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The base housing serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the basketball stand, contains storage cavities for components, provides mounting structures for the basket assembly, and acts as a protective housing during storage. This multi-functionality simplifies the overall design and improves ease of mounting and storage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Disclosed herein are a base having a storage function and a basketball stand comprising the base. The base includes a base housing internally provided with a cavity, wherein an upper portion of the base housing is recessed inwards to form a hemispheric basketball storage recess which is used for storing a basketball; and the bottom of the base housing is bilaterally symmetrically recessed inwards to form support frame storage grooves which are used for storing support frames. The basketball stand includes the base. The basketball is stored in the basketball storage recess, and the support frames are stored in the support frame storage grooves, thereby facilitating storage, avoiding losing of parts after dismounting, and facilitating usage.
