[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] This utility model provides a height-adjustable multi-layer plant support; each layer of the plant support includes one fixing ring 1 and three support rods 2; the support rods 2 are detachably connected by retaining rings on the fixing ring 1; the fixing ring 1 consists of three retaining rings, which are connected by pins 3; one support rod 2 is detachably connected to one retaining ring; thereby realizing the disassembly, assembly, or replacement of the plant support.

[0031] The first layer of plant support also includes a base 4, which is fixed to the planting board. The support rod 2 is detachably connected to the base 4, forming a stable triangular structure. More specifically, the support rod 2 forms a stable triangular structure by forming a fixing ring with retaining rings. The number of retaining rings matches the number of support rods.

[0032] The support rod 2 has multiple holes to allow for different height settings of the plant support. Specifically, when a second layer of support is needed after the plant grows taller, the second-layer support rod 2 is engaged with the holes on the first-layer support rod 2. The engagement position varies depending on the required support height. Correspondingly, the remaining layers are connected and set up according to the structure of the second layer.

[0033] Both ends of the support rod 2 are provided with U-shaped grooves, the opening width of which is greater than the width of the support rod 2; the structure is simple and easy to operate, and one end is used for movable connection with the base 4 or the support rod 2; more specifically, the side wall of the U-shaped groove is provided with a pin hole; when connected to the base 4, the base 4 is provided with a connecting arm, and the connecting arm is connected to the pin hole on the U-shaped groove by a pin; when the second layer of the support rod is connected to the hole on the first layer of the support rod, the pin hole of the U-shaped groove on the second layer of the support rod is directly fixed to the first layer of the support rod by a pin.

[0034] The other end is used to make a movable connection with the retaining ring on the fixed ring 1; the retaining ring is also provided with a connecting arm for connecting with the U-shaped groove on the strut; it is convenient to adjust the angle between the strut and the horizontal ground, that is, to adjust the height supported by the strut.

[0035] Furthermore, base 4 is a base with a rubber pad;

[0036] Furthermore, the length of the struts is adjustable, and each strut has the same structure, enabling modular design and easy replacement and installation.

[0037] The angle between two adjacent struts can be adjusted according to the height requirements.

[0038] In some implementations, the connection between the retaining rings can be via snaps or other methods; the diameter of the retaining rings can be adjusted according to the diameter of the plant.

[0039] In some implementation schemes, the number of layers can be adjusted according to the actual required plant height, without being limited to two, three, or even more layers.

[0040] The main purpose of this invention is to enable the angle of the support poles to be flexibly adjusted according to the spacing between plants on site, and to allow for the convenient addition of a second or third layer of support on top of the first layer as the plants grow; the length of the support poles can be preset according to the height of different plants (to reduce costs) or designed to be telescopic.

[0041] The basic principle is to connect three rings with three pins to form a stable circle, securing the plant stem within it. Next, a perforated support rod and base are used to support the plant on the planting board, forming a stable triangular support structure. Depending on the plant's growth, a second layer of support is installed as needed; its height can be adjusted within the support rod range and fixed to the first layer. The third layer is installed in the same way as the second. When not in use, the multi-layer plant support can be easily removed from the planting board for storage, taking up minimal space.
