Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of orchard protection sheds, and particularly to a semi - automated orchard protection net shed. Background Art

[0002] The statements here only provide the background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] Increasing fruit yield and improving fruit quality are the main goals of orchard production. The occurrence of orchard bird damage can leave fruits scarred, seriously affecting the yield and quality of fruits. Moreover, the fruits pecked by birds are also prone to breeding pathogens, causing fruit diseases. In addition, during the growing season, sometimes disastrous weather such as hail appears, causing a certain degree of harm to the safe production of fruit trees.

[0004] To ensure the yield and quality of fruits, various protection measures are currently adopted in orchards. For example, the common bird - proof net is used to prevent orchard bird damage by covering the insect - proof and bird - proof net around the greenhouse. However, in winter, in order to avoid the greenhouse being crushed by heavy snow, it is usually necessary to put away the insect - proof and bird - proof net, and the putting - away method is often manual. After the heavy snow season has passed, the insect - proof and bird - proof net also needs to be manually laid again, which is time - consuming and laborious.

[0005] Although there are similar devices like rolling machines in the prior art that can be applied to the winding of the insect - proof and bird - proof net, due to the mesh structure of the insect - proof and bird - proof net, when winding, some upper wires will pass through the lower mesh holes and will press on the lower layer after being tightened, ultimately resulting in the difficulty for the insect - proof and bird - proof net to unfold automatically. It is necessary to add a counterweight at the bottom of the insect - proof and bird - proof net or manually pull it open. On the one hand, adding a counterweight is likely to increase costs. On the other hand, the long - term pulling of the counterweight is likely to reduce the service life of the insect - proof and bird - proof net. Moreover, once there is a small gap in the insect - proof and bird - proof net, it is easy to be torn into a large gap, which is not conducive to the long - term use of the insect - proof and bird - proof net. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a semi - automated orchard protection net shed that can automatically open and put away the insect - proof and bird - proof net, has low cost, saves labor, and is conducive to the long - term use of the insect - proof and bird - proof net.

[0007] To achieve the above - mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows: A semi - automated orchard protection net shed, comprising:

[0008] A shed frame;

[0009] A protective net is provided at the top and four sides of the shed frame to enclose the shed frame. One end of the protective net at the top of the shed frame is a fixed end, fixedly connected to the shed frame, and the other end opposite to the fixed end is a winding end. The protective nets on the sides of the shed frame are independent of each other. One end of the top of each protective net is fixedly connected to the top of the shed frame, and the bottom is the winding end.

[0010] A plurality of winding mechanisms are provided at the top of the shed frame and at least one side of the shed frame for winding the protective net at the top of the shed frame and the corresponding side of the shed frame. The winding mechanism includes:

[0011] A winding roller is connected to the winding end of the protective net for winding the protective net and capable of linearly moving along the winding direction of the protective net.

[0012] A driving component is connected to the winding roller for driving the winding roller to rotate and capable of linearly moving together with the winding roller.

[0013] Winding ropes are located at both ends of the winding roller in the length direction. One end of each winding rope is fixedly connected to the winding roller, and the other end is connected to the top of the shed frame. And in the initial state, the winding ropes are in a taut state.

[0014] A guiding component is connected to the driving component for guiding the driving component to move on a predetermined track.

[0015] Further, at both ends of the winding roller of the protective net at the top of the shed frame, two winding ropes are provided at each end. One end of the two winding ropes is fixedly connected to the winding roller, and the other end is respectively connected to the top of the shed frame and the edge of the shed frame. And the winding directions of the two winding ropes around the winding roller are opposite. In the initial state, the two winding ropes are in a taut state.

[0016] Further, a plurality of baffles are provided at the end of the winding roller, and a winding groove is separated between adjacent two baffles, corresponding to the corresponding winding rope.

[0017] Further, the guiding component includes a vertical guiding member on one side of the shed frame. The vertical guiding member includes a vertical rod, a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on the vertical rod, and a bottom plate located below the corresponding vertical rod. The vertical rod and the sliding sleeve are respectively connected to the bottom plate and the corresponding driving component, and the bottom plate is fixed to the bottom of the shed frame.

[0018] Further, the guiding component includes a top guiding member at the top of the shed frame. The top guiding member includes a guide rod provided on one side of the top of the shed frame. The guide rod is parallel to the top of the shed frame. For the driving component at the top of the shed frame, a through hole is provided thereon, and the through hole is sleeved outside the guide rod and capable of sliding on the guide rod.

[0019] Furthermore, a joint net is fixedly provided on the scaffolding, and the joint net is located at the other ends of the corresponding protective nets of the scaffolding except the fixed end. Before the protective nets are rolled up, they are pressed on top of the joint nets.

[0020] Furthermore, a mesh pressing wire is provided on the top of the scaffolding. The mesh pressing wire is located in the middle of the roof and above the protective net and the winding roller, so as to prevent the protective net on the top of the scaffolding from bulging upward.

[0021] Furthermore, a support member is provided on the top of the scaffolding, and the support member is located at the bottom of the protective net and is used to support the protective net and prevent the protective net on the top of the scaffolding from bulging downward.

[0022] Furthermore, the frame of the scaffold includes a plurality of vertically standing poles, each of which has a bearing pile at the bottom. The interior of the pole is hollow, and a drainage hole is also opened at the bottom. The drainage hole is located above the bearing pile and communicates with the interior of the pole.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are embodied in:

[0024] The present invention, in the process of rolling up the protective net, the winding roller will gradually move upwards, and the winding rope will be rolled up at the same time. Since the winding ropes are in a taut state, the weight of the winding rollers and driving components located on the surrounding areas is mostly borne by the winding ropes, and there is no need to worry about tearing the protective net. When lowering the protective net, the winding roller is reversed. While the winding roller is rewinding the winding rope below, the winding roller will be pulled down under the dead weight of the winding roller and the driving component, so as to avoid the situation that the protective net cannot be opened. The invention is easy to use, saves manpower, and is safe and reliable.

[0025] The invention can prevent insects and birds with the help of the protective net, and can also reduce the wind speed entering the shed, and prevent hail from damaging fruit trees; at the same time, the setting of the guide component can prevent the end of the protective net from tilting, and avoid the formation of gaps at the end of the protective net.

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, rather than all the embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 .

[0036] The present invention discloses a semi - automated protection net shed for orchards, including:

[0037] Shed frame 1;

[0038] Protection net 2, arranged on the top and four sides of the shed frame 1, enclosing the shed frame 1; One end of the protection net 2 located on the top of the shed frame 1 is a fixed end, fixedly connected to the shed frame 1, and the other end opposite to the fixed end is a reeling end; The protection nets 2 located on the sides of the shed frame 1 are independent of each other, one end of the top of which is fixedly connected to the top of the shed frame 1, and the bottom is the reeling end;

[0039] A plurality of reeling mechanisms 3, arranged on the top of the shed frame 1 and at least one side of the shed frame 1, for reeling the protection net 2 on the top of the shed frame 1 and the protection net 2 on the corresponding side of the shed frame 1. The reeling mechanism 3 includes:

[0040] Reeling roller 31, connected to the reeling end of the protection net 2, for winding the protection net 2 and capable of linearly moving along the reeling direction of the protection net 2;

[0041] Driving component 32, connected to the reeling roller 31, for driving the reeling roller 31 to rotate and capable of linearly moving together with the reeling roller 31;

[0042] Reeling ropes 33, respectively located at both ends of the reeling roller 31 in the length direction. One end of the reeling rope 33 is fixedly connected to the reeling roller 31, and the other end is connected to the top of the shed frame 1. And in the initial state, the reeling ropes 33 are in a taut state;

[0043] The guiding member 34 is connected to the driving member 32 and is used to guide the driving member 32 to move on a predetermined track.

[0044] In the present invention, when the protective net 2 is wound up, the surrounding protective nets 2 are wound up from bottom to top by the winding roller 31. During the winding process, the winding roller 31 will gradually move upward. At the same time, the winding rope 33 connected to the top of the shed frame 1 is wound up, and the winding rope 33 connected to the bottom of the shed frame 1 is released. Since the winding ropes 33 are in a taut state in the initial state, the weights of the winding roller 31 and the driving member 32 are more borne by the winding ropes 33, and there is no need to worry about pulling the protective net 2; when the protective net 2 is lowered, the winding roller 31 is reversed. While the winding roller 31 is reversing, the self-weight of the winding roller 31 and the driving member 32 will pull down the winding roller 31, avoiding the situation where the protective net 2 cannot be opened.

[0045] In an embodiment, for the protective net 2 located at the top of the shed frame 1, at both ends of the winding roller 31 in the length direction, two winding ropes 33 are provided at each end. One end of the two winding ropes 33 is fixedly connected to the winding roller 31, and the other ends are respectively connected to the top of the shed frame 1 and the edge of the shed frame 1, and the winding directions of the two winding ropes around the winding roller are opposite; in the initial state, the two winding ropes are in a taut state.

[0046] In a specific implementation, when the protective net is lowered, the winding roller is reversed. Since each winding rope is in a taut state, when the winding roller reversely winds the lower winding rope, the lower winding rope will pull the winding roller, avoiding the situation where the protective net cannot be opened.

[0047] Preferably, the winding mechanism 3 is located on two sides of the shed frame 1 in the length direction. The other two sides can be not provided because the protective nets 2 on the sides hardly bear the pressure of heavy snow, and there is no need to worry about the shed being crushed by heavy snow from the sides. Only an opening for personnel and equipment to enter and exit needs to be wound up upward.

[0048] Preferably, the driving member 32 can adopt a motor in the prior art.

[0049] In an embodiment, a plurality of baffles 311 are provided at the end of the winding roller 31. The plurality of baffles 311 are arranged at intervals in sequence, and a winding groove is separated between two adjacent baffles 311, corresponding to the winding rope 33. Such a design avoids the deviation of the winding track of the winding rope 33 when the winding roller 31 shakes and reduces the winding quality.

[0050] In one embodiment, the guiding member 34 includes a vertical guiding member located on one side of the pergola 1. The vertical guiding member includes a vertical rod 341 in a vertical posture, a sliding sleeve 342 slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 341, and a bottom plate 343 located below the corresponding vertical rod 341. The vertical rod 341 and the sliding sleeve 342 are respectively connected to the bottom plate 343 and the corresponding driving member 32, and the bottom plate 343 is fixed to the bottom of the pergola 1.

[0051] In specific implementation, the bottom plate 343 can be fixed by means of embedding, inserting or connecting to the bottom of the pergola 1. The sliding sleeve 342 is connected to the driving member 32. When the driving member 32 rises, it drives the sliding sleeve 342 to slide on the vertical rod 341 for guiding. The vertical guiding member can also prevent the displacement of the winding roller 31 and the bottom end of the protective net 2 from tilting up when the winding roller 31 moves away from the pergola 1, and avoid gaps at the bottom end of the protective net 2.

[0052] In one embodiment, the guiding member 34 includes a top guiding member located at the top of the pergola 1. The top guiding member includes a guide rod 344 arranged on one side of the top of the pergola 1. The guide rod 344 is parallel to the top of the pergola 1. The driving member 32 located at the top of the pergola 1 is provided with a through hole, and the through hole is sleeved outside the guide rod 344 and can slide on the guide rod 344.

[0053] In specific implementation, the top of the pergola 1 can be a flat top or a triangular top. When it is a flat top, only one guide rod 344 can be provided and installed on one side of the corresponding driving member 32 at the top of the pergola 1. When the top of the pergola 1 is a triangular top, at least two guide rods 344 are provided and arranged along the two sloping sides of the triangular top. At this time, two pieces of the protective net 2 are provided at the top of the pergola 1 and are respectively located on the two top surfaces of the triangular top.

[0054] In one embodiment, a joint net 11 is fixedly arranged on the pergola 1. The joint net 11 is located at the other ends of the corresponding protective nets 2 of the pergola 1 except the fixed ends. Before the protective net 2 is wound up, it is pressed above each joint net 11. With such a design, the setting of the joint net 11 can prevent birds from flying directly into the shed through the gap between the side end of the protective net 2 and the pergola 1 when there is a gap there.

[0055] In one embodiment, at least one wire pressing net 4 is arranged at the top of the pergola 1. The wire pressing net 4 is located in the middle of the shed top and is above the protective net 2 and the winding roller 31, and is used to prevent the protective net 2 at the top of the pergola 1 from bulging upward.

[0056] In specific implementation, both ends of the wire pressing net 4 are connected to the shed frame 1. Of course, the wire pressing net 4 can also be pressed on the top of the shed frame 1 by hanging heavy objects at both ends of the wire pressing net 4. The setting of the wire pressing net 4 prevents the protective net 2 on the top of the shed frame 1 from bulging upward under the action of the wind, avoiding the situation that the wind force is too large, causing the first restraint member 12 and the second restraint member 21 to separate, and generating a gap between the side end of the protective net 2 and the shed frame 1.

[0057] Preferably, the side part of the shed frame 1 is also provided with the wire pressing net 4.

[0058] In an embodiment, a support member 13 is provided on the top of the shed frame 1. The support member 13 is located at the bottom of the protective net 2 and is used to support the protective net 2 to prevent the protective net 2 on the top of the shed frame 1 from bulging downward.

[0059] Preferably, the support member 13 is a support rod and / or a trawl wire.

[0060] In an embodiment, the frame body of the shed frame 1 includes a plurality of vertically standing upright posts 14. The bottom of the upright post 14 has a bearing pile 15. The inside of the upright post 14 is hollow, and a drain hole 16 is also opened at the bottom. The drain hole 16 is located above the bearing pile 15 and is communicated with the inside of the upright post 14.

[0061] In specific implementation, the upright post 14 is usually supported by a stainless steel steel pipe. Since the frame body of the shed frame 1 is usually built by welding, the welds are not fully welded, and the inside of the stainless steel steel pipe is easy to get water. In winter, the water inside the steel pipe will freeze and expand, easily bursting the steel pipe. The opening of the drain hole 16 can drain the water inside the steel pipe, avoiding the occurrence of the above situation.

[0062] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0063] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up and down) in the embodiments of the invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0064] In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text includes three parallel scenarios. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes Scenario A, or Scenario B, or the scenario where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Additionally, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the invention embodiments, such descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. Additionally, "a plurality of" means more than two. Moreover, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the invention.
