Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a fruit tree shade structure with a novel structure that can prevent damage to the protective panels without using perforations to connect the protective panels to each other. Background Technology
[0002] Usually, such as Figure 1 As shown, a fruit tree shade canopy that protects fruit trees from frost, hail or excessive sunlight by covering the top of the fruit trees includes support members (10) set in front of and behind the fruit trees and protective sheets (20) set in front of and behind the fruit trees and having front and rear ends fixed to the support members (10).
[0003] The support member (10) includes a vertical rod (11) extending in the vertical direction and a horizontal member (12) extending in the horizontal direction; the lower end of the vertical rod (11) is fixed to the ground and arranged horizontally at intervals; the two ends of the horizontal member (12) are fixedly connected to the vertical rod (11).
[0004] Horizontal members (12) are usually made of metal rods or high-strength steel wire.
[0005] The protective sheet (20) is made of wide synthetic resin material and covers the upper part of the fruit tree. The front and rear ends of the protective sheet (20) are connected to the support (10) by the fixing component (30).
[0006] Therefore, when the fixing member (30) is combined with the horizontal member (12) of the support frame (10), the protective sheet (20) is set to cover the upper part of the fruit tree, thereby protecting the fruit tree from frost, hail or excessive sunlight.
[0007] Meanwhile, since the length or width of the protective sheet (20) of the fruit tree shade canopy is limited, multiple protective sheets (30) are connected to each other in the front-back or lateral directions and used together.
[0008] However, when connecting the protective plates (20) as described above, the main method used so far is to drill through holes (22) in the protective plates (20) and connect adjacent protective plates (20) by using an annular clip (21) that passes through the through holes (22).
[0009] Here, the annular metal component, referred to as the "hole," is connected to the through hole (22).
[0010] However, when the protective sheet (20) is connected using the ring clip (21) as described above, since the ring clip (21) cannot absorb vibration, a problem arises when the protective sheet (20) vibrates due to wind or other forces, that is, the protective sheet (20) will still tear due to the ring clip (21) despite the presence of holes.
[0011] Furthermore, when the eyelet is connected to the through hole (22) as described above, not only does the cost increase, but a problem arises: when the protective sheet (20) is folded, the increased volume of the protective sheet (20) makes storage and transportation inconvenient.
[0012] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address the above problems.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail based on the accompanying example figures.
[0030] Figures 2 to 5 The invention demonstrates a fruit tree shade shed, which is similar to a conventional fruit tree shade shed. The shade shed includes support members 10 disposed in front of and behind the fruit tree, and a protective sheet 20 disposed above the fruit tree, extending in the front-to-back direction and fixed at both ends to the support members 10.
[0031] Here, the support member 10 includes vertical rods 11 that extend in the vertical direction and are fixed to the ground at their lower ends and are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and horizontal members 12 that extend in the horizontal direction and are fixedly connected to the vertical rods 11 at both ends.
[0032] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the protective plates 20 are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction or the lateral direction and are connected to each other by the connecting member 40.
[0033] Therefore, through holes 22 are formed at the edge of the protective sheet 20, and these through holes 22 are configured to penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the protective sheet 20.
[0034] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the connecting member 40 includes an elastic ring 41 and an annular clip 42. The elastic ring 41 is made of elastic synthetic resin material, and its two ends are connected through the through hole 22. The annular clip 42 is connected to both ends of the elastic ring 41 for fixing the two ends of the elastic ring 41.
[0035] The elastic ring 41 is configured as a groove extending laterally, and both ends of the elastic ring 41 are configured to pass through the through hole 22 from the bottom to the top.
[0036] The ring clip 42 is made of high-strength metal or synthetic resin material. By hanging the two ends of the ring clip 42 on the two ends of the elastic ring 41, the protective pieces 20 can be connected to each other through the elastic ring 41.
[0037] In addition, a fixing member 30 connected to the horizontal member 12 is provided in the periphery of the protective plate 20.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, each fixing member 30 includes a fixing clip 31 connected to the horizontal member 12, a connecting rope 32 with one end fixed to the protective plate 20, and a hook 33 provided at the other end of the connecting rope 32 and connected to the fixing clip 31.
[0039] The fixing clip 31 is made of metal or synthetic resin material.
[0040] One end of the connecting rope 32 is connected to the connecting hole 23 formed in the periphery of the protective plate 20, and its front end extends along the front-rear direction of the protective plate 20.
[0041] The hook 33 is made by bending a high-strength metal wire. Its rear end is provided with a connecting part 33a connected to the connecting rope 32, the front end is provided with a hook part 33b connected to the fixing clip 31, and the middle part forms a buffer part 33c. The buffer part 33c is designed to be round in the middle part of the hook 33 through a curling design.
[0042] The buffer portion 33c is configured by rolling the middle part of the hook 33 into a circle, such that the center line of the buffer portion 33c intersects the extension direction of the hook 33.
[0043] Therefore, by connecting the fixing clip 31 to the horizontal member 12 and hanging the hook 33b of the hook 33 on the fixing clip 31, the protective piece 20 can be firmly fixed to the support member 10.
[0044] In the fruit tree shade shed configured as described above, through holes 22 are provided in the periphery of the protective sheet 20. These through holes 22 are used to allow the upper and lower surfaces of the protective sheet 20 to communicate with each other. At the same time, a connecting member 40 is also provided. The connecting member 40 can pass through the through holes 22 and connect the protective sheets 20 arranged in the front-back direction or laterally to each other. The connecting member 40 includes an elastic ring 41 and an annular clamp 42. The elastic ring 41 is made of elastic synthetic resin material, and its two ends are set to be able to pass through the through holes 22. The annular clamp 42 is connected to the two ends of the elastic ring 41 to fix the elastic ring 41.
[0045] Therefore, when the protective plates 20 are connected to each other using the connecting member 40, since the protective plates 20 are connected to each other through the elastic ring 41, when the protective plates 20 move under the action of external forces such as wind, the elastic ring 41 will absorb the impact through elastic expansion and contraction. In this way, there is no need to set other components (such as holes) on the through hole 22, and the protective plates 20 can be effectively prevented from being damaged.
[0046] Furthermore, since the protective sheet 20 does not have any holes or other components, it has the following advantages: manufacturing costs are reduced, the packaging volume of the protective sheet 20 fabric is reduced when exported, and customer needs can be responded to quickly due to the simplification of the manufacturing process.
[0047] In particular, since the two ends of the elastic ring 41 are fixed to each other by the ring clamp 42, it has the advantage that the two ends of the elastic ring 41 can be easily fixed.
[0048] Furthermore, fixing members 30 connected to the horizontal member 12 are disposed around the periphery of the protective plate 20. Each fixing member 30 includes a fixing clip 31 connected to the horizontal member 12, a connecting rope 32 fixed at one end to the protective plate 20, and a hook 33 disposed at the other end of the connecting rope 32 and connected to the fixing clip 31. The hook 33 is formed by bending high-strength metal wire, with a connecting portion 33a formed at its rear end for connecting to the connecting rope 32, a hook portion 33b formed at its front end for connecting to the fixing clip 31, and a buffer portion 33c formed in the middle. The buffer portion 33c is formed by curling, and its center line intersects the extension direction of the hook 33.
[0049] Therefore, when the hook 33 is hung on the fixing clip 31 and fixed, when the protective plate 20 vibrates due to wind or other reasons, the buffer part 33c can absorb the impact, thereby more effectively preventing the protective plate from being damaged. This is its advantage.
[0050] Figures 6 to 8 The second embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein a U-shaped protective tube 43 with a bend 43a in the central part is connected to both ends of an elastic ring 41, and an annular clamp 42 is connected to the bend 43a of the protective tube 43.
[0051] The protective tube body 43 is made of a synthetic resin material with high wear resistance, and a longitudinally extending cutout 43b is formed on the outer periphery of the protective tube body 43.
[0052] Therefore, as Figure 8 As shown by the dotted line, with the outer periphery of the protective tube 43 unfolded upwards and downwards relative to the cutout 43b, the elastic ring 41 can be inserted into the protective tube 43, so that the protective tube 43 is connected to the outside of the elastic ring 41.
[0053] According to the above-described fruit tree shading shed, the protective tube 43 is connected to both ends of the elastic ring 41, and the ring clamp 42 is connected to the curved part 43a of the protective tube 43.
[0054] Therefore, its advantage is that when the protective plate 20 moves and causes the elastic ring 41 to move accordingly, the friction between the elastic ring 41 and the ring clamp 42 can prevent the elastic ring 41 from breaking quickly.
[0055] In the fruit tree shade structure of the present invention, the peripheral portion of the protective sheet 20 is provided with through holes 22, which penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the protective sheet 20. Furthermore, a connecting member 40 is provided, which penetrates the through holes 22 and connects the protective sheets 20 arranged in a front-to-back or transverse direction to each other. The connecting member 40 includes an elastic ring 41 made of elastic synthetic resin material, the two ends of which are configured to penetrate the through holes 22, and an annular clip 42 connected to the two ends of the elastic ring 41 to fix the two ends of the elastic ring 41.
[0056] Therefore, when the protective plates 20 are connected to each other using the connecting member 40, since the protective plates 20 are connected to each other by the elastic ring 41, when the protective plates 20 move due to external forces such as wind, the elastic ring 41 will absorb the impact force while elastically expanding and contracting. In this way, there is no need to use other members (such as eyelets) on the through hole 22 to effectively prevent the protective plates 20 from being damaged.
[0057] Furthermore, since the protective sheet 20 does not have holes or other components, the manufacturing cost is reduced, the packaging volume of the exported protective sheet 20 fabric is reduced, and the simplified manufacturing process enables a quick response to customer needs.
[0058] In particular, since the two ends of the elastic ring 41 are fixed to each other by the ring clamp 42, this fixing method is very convenient.
