A plurality of bands are connected at circumferential intervals between the bounce cloth and the trampoline frame, an enclosing cloth is integrally sewn at an edge of the bounce cloth and covers the plurality of bands, an outer edge of the enclosing cloth is folded down and wrapped around a periphery of the trampoline frame, and a handlebar is mounted on the trampoline frame.

Claims (14)

1 . A trampoline comprising:

a trampoline frame having a plurality of base pipes;

a bounce cloth extending across the trampoline frame;

a plurality of elastic bands, springs, or elastic ropes circumferentially connected at intervals between the bounce cloth and the trampoline frame;

an enclosing cloth sewn at an edge of the bounce cloth such that the enclosing cloth covers the plurality of elastic bands, springs, or elastic ropes; and

a hinged structure coupled between each of the plurality of base pipes; wherein the plurality of base pipes are movable between a folded position and an unfolded position via the hinged structure;

wherein the hinged structure comprises a hinge seat and a hinge lug, the hinge seat and the hinge lug being hingedly coupled via a hinge shaft, wherein the hinge seat is provided with a limiting recess, and after the plurality of base pipes move to the unfolded position, at least one of the plurality of base pipes to which the hinge lug is connected is clamped in the limiting recess; and

wherein a clamping groove is provided in the hinge lug at a proximal end thereof, wherein the clamping groove extends substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the hinge seat, a spring pin is installed on the hinge seat, and after the plurality of base pipes are moved to the folded position, a spring band of the spring pin is clamped in the clamping groove substantially along the longitudinal axis of the hinge seat to lock the plurality of base pipes in the folded position.

2 . The trampoline according to claim 1 , wherein a first hinge seat and a second hinge seat of the plurality of hinge seats are installed at each end of a subset of the plurality of base pipes, such that an opening of the first hinge seat faces inward of the trampoline frame and an opening of the second hinge seat faces downward; wherein a first hinge lug and a second hinge lug of the plurality of hinge lugs are installed at each end of another subset of the plurality of base pipes, such that an opening of the first hinge lug faces inward and an opening of the second hinge lug faces downward.

3 . The trampoline according to claim 1 , further comprising a handlebar mounted on the trampoline frame, wherein the handlebar has an inverted U-shaped structure, and is connected to the trampoline frame at a first end and a second end of the handlebar, wherein the handlebar comprises a plurality of stand rods including at least a first stand rod and a second stand rod, and a lateral rod connected between the first stand rod and the second stand rod.

4 . The trampoline according to claim 3 , wherein the lateral rod has an arc-shaped structure, wherein an upper end of each of the first stand rod and the second stand rod is bent to form a connection section, and a first end of the lateral rod and a second end of the lateral rod are connected to the connection sections on the first stand rod and the second stand rod in inserted nested manner therebetween and are locked by way of spring button clips.

5 . The trampoline according to claim 1 , wherein the trampoline frame further comprises a plurality of leg pipes, and upper ends of the plurality of leg pipes are detachably connected to the plurality of base pipes.

6 . The trampoline according to claim 5 , wherein a rope is connected to the enclosing cloth, notches are provided on the enclosing cloth at positions corresponding to the plurality of leg pipes, connecting loops are formed between the notches and the rope, and the connecting loops are connected to the plurality of leg pipes.
