Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of climbing frames, and more particularly to a climbing frame for bitter gourd cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Bitter gourd is an annual climbing herbaceous plant. Its stems and leaves climb, and without support, they directly contact the ground, making them susceptible to pests and diseases, and affecting fruit quality and yield. Therefore, planting bitter gourd generally requires constructing climbing trellises to facilitate stem and leaf growth, allowing for better sunlight exposure and promoting fruit development. However, current bitter gourd climbing trellises are typically simple structures assembled by workers using bamboo poles. These are not only unstable but also fixed after initial assembly, making expansion difficult. Furthermore, insufficient initial support space leads to inadequate climbing space for the vines, negatively impacting the growth of the bitter gourd.

[0003] Therefore, we designed an expandable climbing frame for bitter gourd cultivation to ensure the growth effect of bitter gourd. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an expandable climbing frame for bitter gourd cultivation.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a climbing frame for bitter gourd cultivation, comprising symmetrically distributed supports, a rod rotatably connected to the bottom of each support, telescopic rods connected between the symmetrically distributed supports, a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the upper side of each symmetrically distributed support, a connecting frame rotatably connected between the first rotating rods, a rotating frame fixedly connected to each support, a net rotatably connected to the rotating frame, the end of the net away from the rotating frame being fixedly connected to the support, and a spring wound between the net and the support.

[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the first rotating rod is U-shaped and has a mesh laid inside it.

[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the assembly also includes an unfolding component for increasing the space for fruit formation. The unfolding component is disposed on the connecting frame and includes a guide rod. The guide rod is disposed on the first rotating rod. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to symmetrically distributed first fixing blocks. The first fixing blocks are rotatably connected to a second rotating rod, and the second rotating rod is slidably engaged with the adjacent guide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the guide rod is S-shaped and is an arc rod wound around the first rotating rod.

[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a clamping assembly for maintaining the stability of the bracket. The clamping assembly is disposed on the mesh, which is provided with fixing teeth. A limit ring is connected to the first rotating rod near the fixing teeth, and the limit ring cooperates with the fixing teeth.

[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a locking assembly for fixing and limiting the insertion rod. The locking assembly is disposed on the bracket and includes a threaded sleeve. The threaded sleeve is disposed on the bracket. The bracket is rotatably connected to a rotating handle. The top of the rotating handle is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve. The rotating handle is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve. The rotating handle is rotatably connected to a sliding limiting frame. The bottom of the sliding limiting frame is fixedly connected to a second fixing block. The insertion rod is provided with symmetrically distributed fixing teeth.

[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the bottom of the second fixing block is arc-shaped and has locking teeth inside, and the arc-shaped locking teeth at the bottom of the second fixing block engage with the fixing teeth.

[0012] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a limiting component for limiting the first rotating rod. The limiting component is disposed on the bracket and includes a third fixing block. The third fixing block is fixedly connected to the bracket and is slidably connected to the limiting block. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the top rotating sleeve of the rotating handle.

[0013] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the top of the limiting block is n-shaped, and the limiting block is inserted into the bracket and engaged with the first rotating rod.

[0014] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the bracket also includes a support rod for improving the supporting force, the support rod being rotatably connected to the bracket.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention lifts the connecting frame upwards by rotating the first rotating rod, causing the two first rotating rods to form an angle. The connecting frame remains horizontal, supported at the highest point of the two first rotating rods. By rotating and unfolding the first rotating rods, and raising the height of the connecting frame separated from the first rotating rods, the space for the bitter gourd vine to climb and grow is expanded, resulting in better growth. Slight rotation of the second rotating rod divides the connecting frame into spaces of different sizes, facilitating the climbing and attachment of the bitter gourd vine and leaving sufficient space for fruit formation, further improving vine growth. The fixed teeth limit the netting, thereby reinforcing the stability of the supports on both sides. By rotating the rotating handle, the handle moves downwards under the action of the threaded sleeve, pressing the sliding limiting frame downwards, causing the second fixing block to move downwards and limit the fixing teeth, thus ensuring the stability of the support and the insertion rod. Rotating the handle downwards moves the upper sleeve downwards, causing the limiting block to move downwards and engage with the support frame to limit the first rotating rod, thus ensuring its stability and allowing the bitter gourd vine to climb normally, ensuring its growth. When the insertion rod is inserted into the soil, rotating it opens the support rod, causing it to insert at an angle into the soil. This creates a triangular structure between the support rod and the support frame, providing diagonal support and enhancing the stability of the support frame. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0030] Example 1: A climbing frame for bitter gourd cultivation, see [link / reference] Figures 1-4 and Figure 12 As shown, the device includes symmetrically distributed supports 101. A rod 102 is rotatably connected to the bottom of each support 101. The rod 102 can be inserted into the soil at different angles to fix the supports 101, preventing hard objects directly below the supports from obstructing its insertion. Telescopic rods 103 connect the symmetrically distributed supports 101. A first rotating rod 104, U-shaped, is rotatably connected to the upper side of each symmetrically distributed support 101. A mesh is laid inside the first rotating rod 104. A connecting frame 105 rotatably connects the symmetrically distributed first rotating rods 104. A rotating frame 106 is fixedly connected to each support 101. A net 107 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 106. One end of the net 107 away from the rotating frame 106 is fixedly connected to the support 101. A spring 108 is wound between the net 107 and the support 101.

[0031] When bitter gourd needs to be planted, the support 101 can be unfolded, and then the insert rod 102 can be inserted into the soil to fix the support 101. When the support 101 is unfolded, the net 107 will rotate and unfold, causing the spring 108 to deform. The bitter gourd vine can climb and grow through the net 107 and the first rotating rod 104. When it is necessary to expand the climbing space of the bitter gourd vine, the operator can lift the support 101 upwards, pull the insert rod 102 out of the soil, and then push the two sides of the support 101 to move towards each other, causing the telescopic rod 103 to retract, the spring 108 to return to its proper position, and driving the net 107 to rewind. The support 101 moves towards each other, pushing the first rotating rod 104 upwards, causing the inner sides of the two first rotating rods 104 to flip upwards and approach each other, lifting the connecting frame 105 upwards. At this time, the two first rotating rods 104 form an angle, and the connecting frame 105 remains horizontal and is supported at the highest point of the two first rotating rods 104. Then, the operator can insert the insertion rod 102 into the soil again to fix the support 101. By rotating the unfolded first rotating rods 104 and raising the height of the connecting frame 105 separated from the first rotating rods 104, the space for the bitter gourd vine to climb and grow is expanded, resulting in better growth of the bitter gourd vine.

[0032] See Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an unfolding component for increasing the space for fruit formation. The unfolding component is disposed on the connecting frame 105. The unfolding component includes a guide rod 201, which is disposed on the first rotating rod 104. The connecting frame 105 is fixedly connected to symmetrically distributed first fixing blocks 202. The first fixing blocks 202 are rotatably connected to a second rotating rod 203. The second rotating rod 203 is slidably engaged with the adjacent guide rod 201. The guide rod 201 is an S-shaped arc rod that is wound around the first rotating rod 104.

[0033] To enhance the adhesion of the bitter gourd vines, multiple movable second rotating rods 203 are provided on the connecting frame 105 to facilitate vine climbing and attachment. When the inner sides of the two first rotating rods 104 flip upwards, lifting the connecting frame 105, since the connecting frame 105 remains horizontal, the first rotating rods 104 and the connecting frame 105 rotate relative to each other. This causes the second rotating rods 203 on the connecting frame 105 to move relative to the guide rods 201 on the first rotating rods 104. The second rotating rods 203 slide on the guide rods 201, thereby causing the inner sides of adjacent second rotating rods 203 to move along the guide rods 201, resulting in a slight rotation of the second rotating rods 203 and separating the connecting frame 105 into... Figure 12The spaces shown are of different sizes, which facilitates the climbing and attachment of the bitter gourd vines and leaves enough space for the bitter gourd vines to bear fruit, resulting in better growth of the bitter gourd vines.

[0034] Example 2: Based on Example 1, see... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a clamping assembly to maintain the stability of the bracket 101. The clamping assembly is disposed on the net 107. The top of the net 107 is provided with a fixing tooth 302. The first rotating rod 104 near the fixing tooth 302 is connected to a limiting ring 301. The limiting ring 301 is provided with a tooth, and the tooth of the limiting ring 301 cooperates with the fixing tooth 302.

[0035] To ensure the stability of this climbing frame, the limiting ring 301 limits the fixing teeth 302, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. When it is necessary to expand this climbing frame, first push the first rotating rod 104 upward to disengage the limiting ring 301 from the fixing teeth 302. Then pull out the bracket 101, bring the brackets 101 on both sides together, expand the climbing frame, and then open the first rotating rod 104 again, so that the first rotating rod 104 drives the limiting ring 301 to re-engage in the fixing teeth 302. The fixing teeth 302 limit the net 107, thereby reinforcing the stability of the brackets 101 on both sides.

[0036] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a locking assembly for fixing and limiting the insertion rod 102. The locking assembly is disposed on the bracket 101 and includes a threaded sleeve 401. The threaded sleeve 401 is disposed on the bracket 101. The bracket 101 is rotatably connected to a rotating handle 402. The top of the rotating handle 402 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve. The rotating handle 402 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 401. The rotating handle 402 is rotatably connected to a sliding limiting frame 403. The bottom of the sliding limiting frame 403 is fixedly connected to a second fixing block 4021. The insertion rod 102 is provided with symmetrically distributed fixing teeth 404. The bottom of the second fixing block 4021 is arc-shaped and has locking teeth inside. The arc-shaped locking teeth at the bottom of the second fixing block 4021 engage with the fixing teeth 404.

[0037] To ensure the stability of the insertion rod 102 and prevent it from bending after being inserted into the soil, causing the climbing frame to tip over, the operator can rotate the rotating handle 402 after the insertion rod 102 is inserted into the soil. This causes the rotating handle 402 to move downward under the action of the threaded sleeve 401, thereby squeezing the sliding limit frame 403 to move downward. This causes the second fixing block 4021 to move downward and limit the fixing teeth 404, thus keeping the support 101 and the insertion rod 102 stable.

[0038] See Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a limiting component for limiting the first rotating rod 104. The limiting component is disposed on the bracket 101 and includes a third fixing block 501. The third fixing block 501 is fixed to the bracket 101. The third fixing block 501 is slidably connected to a limiting block 502. The limiting block 502 is fixedly connected to the top rotating sleeve of the rotating handle 402. The top of the limiting block 502 is n-shaped. The limiting block 502 is inserted into the bracket 101 and engages with the first rotating rod 104.

[0039] To enhance the stability of the climbing frame, when the rotating handle 402 moves downward, it will cause the rotating sleeve on it to move downward, causing the limiting block 502 to move downward and engage in the bracket 101 to limit the first rotating rod 104, thereby ensuring the stability of the first rotating rod 104, allowing the bitter gourd vine to climb normally and ensuring the growth effect of the bitter gourd vine.

[0040] See Figure 11 As shown, it also includes a support rod 601 for improving the support force, the support rod 601 being rotatably connected to the bracket 101.

[0041] After the bracket 101 is opened, the operator can rotate to open the support rod 601. When the insertion rod 102 is inserted into the soil, the support rod 601 is inserted into the soil at an angle. The support rod 601 and the bracket 101 form a triangular structure and provide oblique support force, thereby enhancing the stability of the bracket 101.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
