Foldable soccer goal

Abstract

A foldable soccer goal includes two arched frames. One frame is placed horizontally, and the other frame is placed vertically. Two ends of the frames are connected through support units, respectively. Each frame includes at least two connecting rods connected in sequence. Every adjacent two of the connecting rods are connected through a connecting unit. The connecting unit includes a pivot member and two coupling members hinged to two ends of the pivot member, respectively. The structure is simple and the storage is convenient.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A foldable soccer goal, comprising two arched frames, one frame being placed horizontally, the other frame being placed vertically, two ends of the frames being connected through support units, respectively;
 each frame including at least two connecting rods connected in sequence, every adjacent two of the connecting rods being connected through a connecting unit; the connecting unit including a pivot member and two coupling members hinged to two ends of the pivot member, respectively; the pivot member having an accommodating space therein, the accommodating space having an outer side opening and two end openings, the outer side opening being arranged along an arched outer side of the frame, the end openings being disposed at the two ends of the pivot member respectively, the two end openings communicating with the outer side opening to form a U-shaped opening; the pivot member having a limiting portion along an arched inner side of the frame; a first end of each coupling member being hingedly connected in the accommodating space, a second end of the coupling member being connected to a corresponding one of the connecting rods;   wherein when the foldable soccer goal is to be unfolded, each coupling member is rotated toward the limiting portion until it is limited by the limiting portion, the second end of the coupling member extends out from the corresponding end opening; each connecting rod is bent and deformed to be in an arc shape toward the arched outer side of the frame;   wherein when the foldable soccer goal is to be folded, each coupling member is rotated away from the limiting portion, the second end of the coupling member extends out from the outer side opening, each connecting rod is   restored to become straight.   
     
     
         2 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second end of the coupling member is formed with a connecting hole for insertion of the corresponding connecting rod. 
     
     
         3 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a ball net is provided between the two frames. 
     
     
         4 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the two ends of the pivot member are each formed with a first pivot hole, each coupling member is formed with a second pivot hole, and a pivot is provided in the first pivot hole and the second pivot hole. 
     
     
         5 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the limiting portion is a limiting protrusion, each coupling member has an arc-shaped convex edge along the arched inner side of the frame, when the foldable soccer goal is unfolded, and the convex edge of each coupling member is pressed against the limiting protrusion of the pivot member to achieve positioning. 
     
     
         6 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support unit includes a connecting plate, a first support tube and a second support tube, the connecting plate, the first support tube and the second support tube form a triangular configuration; the connecting plate includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, one end of the first connecting plate is hingedly connected to a first end of the first support tube, another end of the first connecting plate is hingedly connected to one end of the second connecting plate; a second end of the first support tube is hingedly connected to a first end of the second support tube in a damping manner, and another end of the second connecting plate is hingedly connected to a second end of the second support tube. 
     
     
         7 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein an arch bridge structure is provided on the first support tube to form a through hole, and a pull cord is connected in the through hole. 
     
     
         8 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the first support tube is recessed to form an arc-shaped first limiting recess, the first connecting plate is limited by the first limiting recess;
 the second end of the first support tube is formed with an engaging slot; the first end of the second support tube is provided with an engaging block, and the engaging block is rotatably connected in the engaging slot to be pivoted upward and downward.   
     
     
         9 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the second support tube is recessed to form an arc-shaped second limiting recess; and the second connecting plate is limited by the second limiting recess. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable soccer goal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a partition is provided inside the accommodating space to partition the accommodating space into a left accommodating space and a right accommodating space, the first end of each coupling member is hingedly connected in the corresponding left accommodating space or right accommodating space.
