Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural auxiliary equipment technology, specifically a vine guide for grape cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Grapevines have a climbing growth characteristic. If they lack effective guidance, they are prone to problems such as tangling, lodging, and deviation in growth direction. This not only leads to poor ventilation and light penetration in the field, increasing the risk of pests and diseases, but also causes uneven light exposure and insufficient sugar accumulation in the berries, affecting fruit quality. At the same time, the tangled growth of vines increases the difficulty and labor intensity of field management (such as pruning, fertilization, and harvesting).
[0003] Existing vine guidance methods mostly employ fixed supports, rope tying, or simple trays, which have several limitations: First, fixed supports or rope tying cannot adapt to the height requirements of vines at different growth stages. During the seedling stage, frequent adjustments to the binding position are necessary, while during maturity, the rigidity of the fixing method can restrict natural vine growth or damage the binding points. Second, traditional trays are mostly integrated fixed structures, unable to flexibly adjust their shape according to vine length and growth direction, making them unsuitable for the bending growth characteristics of vines and prone to vine slippage or localized compression. Third, existing guidance devices lack angle adjustment functions, failing to optimize the vine bearing angle according to the planting environment (such as light direction and row layout), resulting in limited guidance effectiveness. Fourth, during vine growth, leaves easily block immature fruits, affecting photosynthesis, and the vine tips are prone to slipping off the tray due to the weight of the tail section. Existing devices lack targeted leaf guidance and anti-slip designs, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the needs of fruit development and stable vine growth. In addition, the components of traditional guiding devices are mostly rigidly fixed, which makes them difficult to adjust and some structures can easily cause mechanical damage to the vines, further affecting the normal growth of grapes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a vine guide for grape cultivation, which solves the problem that existing vine guides cannot meet the adaptation needs of the entire growth cycle of vines.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vine guide for grape cultivation, the guide comprising: A hook is used to attach something to a fixed object. The pallet includes a main pallet and several auxiliary pallets disposed on both sides of the main pallet. The top of the two adjacent auxiliary pallets and the top of the innermost auxiliary pallet and the main pallet are connected by elastic connectors. The several auxiliary pallets are connected in series with the main pallet by adjusting ropes. The end of the outermost auxiliary pallet is provided with a take-up device for connecting the adjusting ropes to adjust the extension length of the adjusting ropes, change the gap between two adjacent auxiliary pallets or between the innermost auxiliary pallet and the main pallet, so that the several auxiliary pallets are bent and / or straight-connected relative to the main pallet. An angle adjustment component, connected between the hook and the main tray, is used to adjust the flipping angle of the tray; A stop, detachably connected to the auxiliary support plate, includes: The first blocking component is used to block and change the orientation of the leaves on the vine; The second blocking component is rotatably connected to the first blocking component and is used to press the vines together, preventing the vines from sliding off the tray. A baffle plate is disposed on the first baffle and located on one side of the second baffle, so that the second baffle can only be rotated in one direction.
[0006] Preferably, in the side view projection, both the main support plate and the auxiliary support plate are U-shaped, with an inner cavity formed to accommodate the vines.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the main support plate and each of the auxiliary support plates is provided with a boss, and a through hole is provided through the boss at the bottom of the auxiliary support plate. One end of the adjusting rope is connected to a take-up device, and the other end passes through several through holes and is connected to the boss at the bottom of the main support plate.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the elastic connector is connected to the side wall of the main support plate and each of the auxiliary support plates, and each of the auxiliary support plates has an opening on the side facing the elastic connector to accommodate the elastic connector, and the other end of the elastic connector extends into and is fixed in the opening.
[0009] Preferably, the first blocking member is a U-shaped member with locking members connected to both ends by shafts; each of the auxiliary support plates has a slot on both sides for the blocking member to be locked in, and the locking member is locked in the slot.
[0010] Preferably, the shaft is a rubber column, and it is interference-fitted with the holes of the clip and the first blocking member, so that the first blocking member can not only rotate around the shaft as the axis, but also be fixed at any point on the rotation trajectory.
[0011] Preferably, the second blocking member is made of rubber and has an arc-shaped notch at the bottom.
[0012] Preferably, the angle adjustment component includes: A wing plate is fixed to the main support plate and has through holes. A shaft is provided on one side of the wing plate, and a threaded post that can pass through the wing plate is provided on one side of the shaft; the hook is connected to the shaft. A nut is screwed onto the threaded post, and the nut is clamped onto the wing plate in conjunction with the shaft. A damping flange is located between the flange and the shaft and is fitted onto the threaded post.
[0013] Preferably, the damping flange includes an annular plate-shaped first damping part and an annular cylindrical second damping part located at the center of the first damping part. The first damping part is located between the flange and the shaft, and the second damping part is sleeved on the threaded post and located between the threaded post and the through hole of the flange.
[0014] Preferably, the hook includes a second hook that can be secured to a fixed object, and the second hook is fixed to a shaft. The hook also includes a first hook that can be secured to a fixed object, the first hook being connected to a second hook via a connecting rope.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By using the vine guide for grape cultivation provided by this invention, the support plate for supporting the vine is composed of a main support plate and several auxiliary support plates. By adjusting the cooperation of the rope and the retractor, various shapes can be switched, such as arc bending, bending at one end and straight at the other end, and straight at both ends. It can adapt to vines of different lengths and adjust the guiding trajectory according to the preset growth direction, effectively solving the problem that traditional fixed support plates cannot adapt to the bending growth of vines. At the same time, the setting of the elastic connector allows the main support plate and the auxiliary support plates to be flexibly separated and fitted, making the adjustment process smoother and avoiding hard pulling on the vines.
[0016] An angle adjustment piece between the hook and the tray adjusts the flipping angle of the tray, adjusting it to the optimal bearing angle, guiding the vines to climb along a preset direction, and further adjusting the guide trajectory according to the preset growth direction.
[0017] The baffles guide the leaves and prevent the vines from falling off. The first baffle can be flipped to adjust its angle, guiding the leaves away from unripe fruit, preventing them from blocking sunlight, promoting fruit enlargement and sugar accumulation, and improving fruit quality. The second baffle is made of rubber and has an arc-shaped notch design, which can effectively press the vines to prevent them from slipping due to the weight of the tail section, and avoid mechanical damage to the vines. It also works with the baffle plate to achieve one-way flipping, ensuring that the vines grow without being obstructed, achieving the effect of "preventing falling off without hindering growth". At the same time, the baffles can be fixed at any position on the support plate through the cooperation of the clips and slots, adapting to different vine placement situations, and are highly flexible.

[0020] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Various changes can be made to the implementation schemes as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved.
[0022] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a vine guide for grape cultivation is proposed. The guide includes a hook, a support plate, an angle adjustment component 4, and a stop component 8.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the hook has two hooking and fixing methods to adapt to the needs of different growth stages of the vine. In one embodiment, the hook is used to hook onto a fixed object. Specifically, the hook includes a second hook 3 that can be secured to the fixed object. For example, as shown... Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in the middle and later stages of vine growth, the second hook 3 can be directly used to secure the vine to the vine frame, providing a stable hanging support point for the tray. At this time, the vine height is stable, and there is no need to frequently adjust the height of the tray. The rigid connection of the hook ensures that the position of the tray is fixed, preventing the vine from falling over due to the swaying of the tray.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the hook also includes a second implementation method, such as... Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the device includes a first hook 1 that can be secured to a fixed object, and the first hook 1 is connected to a second hook 3 via a connecting rope 2. During the climbing growth period of the vine seedlings, the seedling height will change rapidly. The operator can match the growth height of the seedlings by changing the connecting rope 2 to different lengths or adjusting the suspension tension of the connecting rope 2, so that the support plate is always in the optimal position to support the vines, guiding the seedlings to climb along the direction of the support plate and preventing the seedlings from growing haphazardly due to lack of support.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support plate in this embodiment includes a main support plate 5 and several auxiliary support plates 6 disposed on both sides of the main support plate 5. The auxiliary support plates 6 are connected to the two sides of the main support plate 5. In the side view projection, both the main support plate 5 and the auxiliary support plates 6 are U-shaped, with cavities formed on the inner side to accommodate the vines. In actual operation, the vines are placed in the cavities and are blocked by the side walls of the U-shaped main support plate 5 and auxiliary support plates 6 to prevent them from slipping off the sides, ensuring that the vines always grow along the extension direction of the support plate, thus solving the problem of messy entanglement during the natural growth of the vines.
[0027] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, elastic connectors 9 are connected to the top of the two adjacent auxiliary support plates 6 and the top of the innermost auxiliary support plate 6 and the main support plate 5. The elastic connector 9 is a spring. One end of the elastic connector 9 is connected to the side wall of the main support plate 5 and each auxiliary support plate 6. Each auxiliary support plate 6 has an opening 14 on the side facing the elastic connector 9 to accommodate the elastic connector 9. The other end of the elastic connector 9 extends into and is fixed in the opening 14. It should be noted that the openings 14 are opened at the top of both sides of the U-shaped auxiliary support plate 6, so that the tops of the main support plate 5 and the auxiliary support plate 6, as well as the two adjacent auxiliary support plates 6, are elastically connected, allowing the main support plate 5 and the auxiliary support plate 6, as well as the two adjacent auxiliary support plates 6, to be able to separate from each other and fit tightly together.
[0028] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, several auxiliary support plates 6 are connected in series with the main support plate 5 via an adjusting rope 12. The end of the outermost auxiliary support plate 6 is provided with a line reel 7 connected to the adjusting rope 12. The line reel 7 is preferably a mini raft fishing reel, which is used to adjust the extension length of the adjusting rope 12, change the gap between two adjacent auxiliary support plates 6 or between the innermost auxiliary support plate 6 and the main support plate 5, so that the auxiliary support plates 6 are bent and / or straight-connected relative to the main support plate 5.
[0029] The bottom of the main support plate 5 and each auxiliary support plate 6 is provided with a boss 10. A through hole 11 is provided at the boss 10 at the bottom of the auxiliary support plate 6. One end of the adjusting rope 12 is connected to the take-up device 7, and the other end passes through several through holes 11 and is connected to the boss 10 at the bottom of the main support plate 5.
[0030] For example, when either the left or right take-up coil 7 adjusts its extension length, the multiple auxiliary support plates 6 respectively take on a curved or straight shape. Specifically, as shown... Figures 10 to 12 As shown, depending on the length of the vine and its desired growth direction, the tray can be freely switched between an arc-shaped curved shape, a curved shape at one end and a straight shape at the other end, and a straight shape at both ends, to meet the placement needs of vines of different lengths and growth directions.
[0031] In practice, the tray is initially arc-shaped. The length of the adjustable rope 12 is adjusted by winding the rope 7. When the length of the adjustable rope 12 is shortened, the distance between the multiple auxiliary trays 6 and the main tray 5 is reduced, so that the multiple auxiliary trays 6 and the main tray 5 are tightly attached together. At this time, the auxiliary trays 6 and the main tray 5 are in a straight line to adjust the placement and growth requirements of the vines.
[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the angle adjustment component 4 is connected between the hook and the main support plate 5, and is used to adjust the flip angle of the support plate to further adjust the placement and growth requirements of the vines. It should be noted that the second hook 3 must be fixed to the fixed object before the flip angle of the support plate can be adjusted.
[0033] Specifically, the angle adjustment component 4 includes a wing plate 41, a shaft 42 located on one side of the wing plate 41, a nut 44, and a damping flange 45. The aforementioned hook (specifically, the second hook 3) is connected to the shaft 42. The wing plate 41 is fixed to the main support plate 5 and has a through hole. A threaded post 43, which can pass through the wing plate 41, is provided on one side of the shaft 42. The nut 44 is screwed onto the threaded post 43. When the nut 44 is tightened, it cooperates with the shaft 42 to clamp onto the wing plate 41, clamping and fixing the wing plate 41 after rotation, thus adjusting the tilt angle of the support plate. The operator can adjust the support plate to the optimal bearing angle according to the growth direction of the vines, guiding the vines to climb in a preset direction.
[0034] The aforementioned damping flange 45 is located between the wing plate 41 and the shaft 42, and is sleeved on the threaded post 43. It is used to prevent the wing plate 41 from being directly affected by the weight of the pallet and quickly flipping back to its original position when the flipping pallet drives the wing plate 41 to adjust its angle on the threaded post 43. It can also provide friction between the wing plate 41 and the shaft 42 when the wing plate 41 is clamped and provide vibration buffer for the nut 44. This prevents the wing plate 41 from being affected by the weight of the pallet and slowly flipping back to its original position during long-term use, or from the nut 44 becoming loose due to the vines causing the pallet to shake, thus loosening the clamping force on the wing plate 41.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the damping flange 45 in this embodiment includes an annular plate-shaped first damping portion 451 and an annular cylindrical second damping portion 452 located at the center of the first damping portion 451. The first damping portion 451 is located between the flange 41 and the shaft 42, and is used to generate frictional resistance between the flange 41 and the shaft 42. The second damping portion 452 is sleeved on the threaded post 43 and located between the threaded post 43 and the through hole of the flange 41, and is used to generate frictional resistance between the root of the threaded post 43 and the through hole of the flange 41.
[0036] In this embodiment, the stop 8 is as follows: Figures 6 to 9As shown, the stop 8 is detachably connected to the auxiliary support plate 6, including a first stop 81, a second stop 84, and a stop plate 15. The first stop 81 blocks and changes the orientation of the leaves on the vine to prevent them from covering unripe fruit and blocking sunlight from reaching the fruit, thus promoting fruit enlargement and sugar accumulation. The second stop 84 is rotatably connected to the first stop 81 and presses the vine together, preventing the tip of the vine from slipping off the support plate due to the weight of its tail. The stop plate 15 is located on the first stop 81 and to one side of the second stop 84, limiting the second stop 84 so that it can only rotate in one direction. This prevents the second stop 84 from excessively rotating and losing its clamping force when the tip of the vine slips backward off the support plate due to the weight of its tail.
[0037] Specifically, the connection position between the stopper 8 and the auxiliary support plate 6 is rotated according to the actual placement of the vine to ensure that the flipped leaves can contact the first stopper 81. Furthermore, the operator presses the second stopper 84 with their fingers, causing its bottom end to press against the vine surface. When the vine's tail slides backward off the support plate due to its weight, it causes the second stopper 84 to flip backward. When the second stopper 84 contacts the stopper plate 15, it cannot continue to flip backward, thus limiting the vine's position and preventing it from sliding further backward. As the vine continues to grow along its tip, the advancing vine causes the second stopper 84 to flip forward, preventing it from hindering vine growth and achieving the effect of "preventing vine shedding without hindering growth."
[0038] Furthermore, the first blocking member 81 is a U-shaped member, which is upside down on top of a certain auxiliary support plate 6, and the two ends are connected to the locking member 83 by the shaft member 82; each auxiliary support plate 6 has a slot 13 on both sides for the blocking member 8 to be locked, and the locking member 83 is locked in the slot 13 so as to achieve the purpose of locking the blocking member 8 in any position.
[0039] Furthermore, the shaft 82 is a rubber column, and it is interference-fitted with the holes of the clip 83 and the first blocking member 81, so that the first blocking member 81 can not only rotate around the shaft 82 as the axis, but also be fixed at any point on the rotation trajectory to adjust the blocking angle on the blade.
[0040] Furthermore, the aforementioned second blocking member 84 is made of rubber to prevent excessive compression of the vines and damage to their surface. The bottom of the second blocking member 84 has an arc-shaped notch 85 to increase its adaptability to the vines.
[0041] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
