Description

Height-adjustable basketball stand The present invention relates to a height-adjustable basketball hoop. Generally, basketball hoops are internationally standardized and games are played using standardized basketball hoops. The basketball hoops have an inner diameter of 45 cm, and the backboard is 180 cm wide and 105 cm high. A rectangular line measuring 59 × 45 cm must be drawn in the center, and the height of the basket ring must be installed at a height of 305 cm from the floor. However, basketball hoops installed in elementary, middle, and high schools are also installed in sizes that meet international standards, so general users, children, and youth find it inconvenient to use because the height of the basketball ring is excessively high. Registered Patent 10-0940735, Height-adjustable Basketball Hoop (Registration Date: January 28, 2010), discloses a technology that allows anyone to easily use a basketball hoop by using a hydraulic tank and a hydraulic pump to raise or lower the height of the basket in a vertical direction. However, the aforementioned height-adjustable basketball hoop has the disadvantage of being very bulky and having a very high installation cost because it adjusts the height of the basket using a hydraulic tank and a hydraulic pump. In addition, the aforementioned height-adjustable basketball hoop has the disadvantage of high installation costs because it utilizes a method of sensing the user's height using an expensive height detection sensor. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a height-adjustable basketball hoop according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a drawing illustrating the operating unit of Figure 1. FIGS. 3 to 5 are cross-sectional views illustrating a basketball hoop with height adjustable to suit the heights of adults, adolescents, and children. The present invention described below is capable of various modifications and may have various embodiments. Specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the detailed description. However, this is not intended to limit the invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that it includes all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention. In describing the invention, detailed descriptions of related prior art are omitted if it is determined that such detailed descriptions may obscure the essence of the invention. The terms used in this patent are used merely to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this patent, terms such as "comprising" or "having" are intended to specify the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Additionally, terms such as "first," "second," etc., may be used to distinguish and describe various components, but said components shall not be limited by said terms. These terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. In addition, if at least two different embodiments are described in this patent, each embodiment may use all or part of its components in combination and mixed with one another without further description, as long as it does not deviate from the technical concept of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a height-adjustable basketball hoop according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a drawing illustrating the operating unit of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 to 5 are cross-sectional views illustrating a basketball hoop whose height is adjusted to suit the heights of adults, adolescents, and children. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the height-adjustable basketball hoop (600) includes a lower basketball hoop (100), an upper basketball hoop (200), a rack jack (300), a rotation unit (400), and an operation unit (450). In addition, the height-adjustable basketball hoop (600) may further include a solar power generation unit (500). The lower basketball hoop (100) includes a base (110) and a support (120).
