Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of Hami melon cultivation technology, and in particular to a Hami melon vine traction device. Background Technology
[0002] During the growth process of Hami melons, the vines grow in a creeping manner. If they are not managed, they will entangle with each other, affecting ventilation and light penetration, making them susceptible to pests and diseases, and hindering fruit development and agricultural operations such as artificial pollination, pruning, and harvesting.
[0003] Traditional methods often involve using bamboo poles to build frames and manually binding and securing the vines with materials such as cloth strips and ropes. This method suffers from problems such as low efficiency, difficulty in controlling the tightness of the binding, easy damage to the vines, poor frame stability, and low reusability.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a traction device specifically designed for cantaloupe vines that is easy to operate, does not damage the vines, and is adjustable. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the technical problems of low efficiency, easy damage to vines and unstable frame of existing cantaloupe vine traction methods, this application provides a cantaloupe vine traction device.
[0006] The cantaloupe vine traction device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A cantaloupe vine traction device includes a support frame for providing main support; at least one transverse traction beam connected to the top of the support frame, wherein a plurality of positioning rings are provided on the transverse traction beam, and traction ropes for connecting the vines are provided on the positioning rings, with vine clamps connected to the bottom of the traction ropes.
[0008] Furthermore, the support frame includes a column, a rotating disk is rotatably connected above the column, and a transverse traction beam is arranged radially along the rotating disk with one end connected to the rotating disk.
[0009] Furthermore, the transverse traction beam includes a fixed beam connected to the rotating disk, the fixed beam has a sliding groove, a sliding beam is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, the lower end of the sliding beam has a sliding rod integrally formed protruding from the fixed beam, the fixed beam is threaded with an abutting bolt that abuts against the side wall of the sliding rod, and the positioning ring is fixed to the lower end face of the fixed beam and the sliding rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the fixed beam is rotatably connected to the rotating disk via a rotating shaft, so that the fixed beam rotates in the vertical direction. The rotating disk is provided with a limiting mechanism to facilitate the adjustment of the rotation angle of the fixed beam.
[0011] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting plate rotatably connected to the rotating disk, a plurality of limiting holes are provided on the fixed beam, the limiting holes are evenly distributed around the axis of rotation of the fixed beam, and a limiting hook is fixed on the limiting plate, the limiting hook being inserted into the corresponding limiting hole by the rotation of the limiting plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the vine clamp is a safety hook fixed to the traction rope.
[0013] Furthermore, the traction rope is an elastic rope.
[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the column is fixed with several limiting protrusions to facilitate the upward climbing of the vines.
[0015] Furthermore, the column is a telescopic column, including mounting columns at both ends and a connecting column connecting the two mounting columns. The connecting column has connecting screws fixed coaxially at both ends. The connecting screws are threadedly connected to the mounting columns. By rotating the connecting column, the two mounting columns can move in opposite directions.
[0016] Furthermore, the side wall of the mounting column inserted into the ground is rotatably connected to a foot pedal to facilitate the insertion of the mounting column into the ground. The side wall of the mounting column is provided with a storage groove, and the foot pedal is rotatably connected to the storage groove through a pivot. A magnet block for adsorbing the foot pedal and preventing the foot pedal from rotating is fixed in the storage groove.
[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] Flexible and adaptable: By setting up a rotatable rotating disc, a telescopic sliding beam, and a fixed beam that can be adjusted at multiple angles, the traction device can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual growth direction, density, and plant spacing of the cantaloupe vines, optimizing the vine space layout and adapting to different planting environments and agronomic requirements.
[0019] Easy to operate, saving time and effort: Using a safety hook as a vine clamp, combined with an elastic traction rope, it can quickly clamp and fix the vine, avoiding the cumbersome and difficult-to-control problems of traditional binding methods, and greatly improving the efficiency of traction operations.
[0020] Protecting vines and promoting growth: The elastic guide rope has a certain degree of flexibility, providing gentle traction as the vines grow, preventing damage from overly tight fixing or plant swaying. At the same time, the traction device lifts the vines off the ground, improving ventilation and light penetration, reducing the breeding of pests and diseases, and promoting fruit development.
[0021] Stable structure and easy management: The telescopic column design not only facilitates adjustment of the overall height but also enhances stability after being inserted into the soil. The unfolding of the lateral traction beams allows for orderly distribution of the vines, facilitating subsequent agricultural operations such as artificial pollination, pruning, spraying, and harvesting, thus improving the convenience of field management.
[0022] User-friendly design and easy installation: The limiting protrusions on the post help the vines climb naturally. The foot pedal and magnetic storage slot make inserting the post into the soil easier and allow it to be folded up for tidiness when not in use. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0030] This application discloses a cantaloupe vine traction device, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a support frame for providing main support. The support frame includes a vertically arranged column 1 with several limiting protrusions 2 fixed on its surface to facilitate the upward climbing of the vines. The lower end of the column 1 is pointed to facilitate insertion into the soil. A rotating disk 3 is coaxially rotatably connected to the upper end of the column 1. Several transverse traction beams are connected to the rotating disk 3. The transverse traction beams are arranged radially and evenly distributed circumferentially to form a three-dimensional traction support that can radiate outward from the center. This system can orderly guide multiple cantaloupe vines to different horizontal directions, greatly expanding the vines' growth space and avoiding the entanglement problems caused by traditional creeping or simple vertical growth. It also achieves ventilation and light penetration between plants and reduces the risk of pests and diseases.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Several positioning rings 4 are set on the transverse traction beam. The positioning rings 4 are connected to traction ropes 5. The traction ropes 5 are elastic ropes. One end of the traction rope 5 is fixed to the positioning ring 4, and the other end of the traction rope 5 is fixedly connected to a vine clamp 6. The vine clamp 6 is a safety hook. Its elasticity can adapt to the growth and thickening of the vine and its natural swaying, providing continuous and gentle traction force. It effectively avoids the problems of "strangulation" or obstruction of vascular bundle transport caused by growth or external force caused by traditional rigid binding, and plays a protective role for the vine. The safety hook, as the vine clamp 6, is extremely easy to operate. It can be opened and closed quickly with one hand and can easily hook and lock the vine stem, which greatly improves the efficiency of fixing the vine and saves a lot of time and manpower compared with the knot binding method.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The transverse traction beam includes a fixed beam 7 rotatably connected at one end to a rotating disk 3, allowing the fixed beam 7 to rotate vertically. The fixed beam 7 has a sliding groove, which is T-shaped. A sliding beam 8 is slidably positioned within the sliding groove. A sliding rod 9 is integrally formed at the lower end of the sliding beam 8, protruding beyond the fixed beam 7. A threaded bolt is connected to the fixed beam 7, abutting against the side wall of the sliding rod 9 and preventing the sliding rod 9 from sliding relative to the fixed beam 7. A positioning ring 4 is fixed to the lower end face of the fixed beam 7 and / or the sliding rod 9. The sliding beam 8 slides and extends within the T-shaped groove of the fixed beam 7, allowing for convenient adjustment of the entire transverse traction beam's extension length. This allows the device to flexibly adjust its horizontal coverage range according to the actual planting spacing, vine density, or plot boundaries of the cantaloupe, thereby optimizing the use of planting space and avoiding space waste or overcrowding of vines caused by improper device spacing.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating disk 3 is equipped with a limiting mechanism to facilitate the adjustment of the rotation angle of the fixed beam 7. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting disk 10 rotatably connected to the rotating disk 3. The fixed beam 7 has several limiting holes 15 evenly distributed around its axis of rotation. A limiting hook 16 is fixed to the limiting disk 10. When the limiting disk 10 rotates, the limiting hook 16 inserts into the corresponding limiting hole 15, thus facilitating the positioning of the fixed beam 7 and preventing its rotation. The fixed beam 7 can rotate vertically around the rotating disk 3, providing an adjustable angle for the lateral traction beam. The operator can adjust the traction beam to the most suitable tilt angle for traction based on the natural growth posture of the vines or specific agronomic requirements (such as avoiding strong sunlight for the fruit), making the traction direction more aligned with the plant's growth habits and reducing mechanical stress.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support column 1 is a telescopic column, comprising mounting columns 12 at both ends and a connecting column 11 connecting the two mounting columns 12. Connecting screws are coaxially fixed at both ends of the connecting column 11, and the connecting screws are threadedly connected to the mounting columns 12. Rotating the connecting column 11 causes the two mounting columns 12 to move in opposite directions. By rotating the connecting column 11, the mounting columns 12 at both ends can be driven to move synchronously in opposite directions, thus easily and continuously adjusting the overall height of the support column 1. This allows the height of the support frame to precisely match the needs of different growth stages of the cantaloupe vines (such as seedling stage, vine extension stage, and fruiting stage), ensuring that the traction device is always in the optimal support position, effectively promoting the healthy and orderly growth of the vines.
[0035] Reference Figure 1The mounting post 12, inserted into the ground, has a foot pedal 14 rotatably connected to its side wall for easy insertion. A storage groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the mounting post 12, and the foot pedal 14 is rotatably connected to the storage groove 13 via a pivot. A magnet is fixed inside the storage groove 13 to attract the foot pedal 14 and prevent it from rotating. When inserting the mounting post 12 into the soil, the foot pedal 14 can be rotated to a horizontal position and stepped on. Utilizing the lever principle and the user's own weight, the downward pressure is effectively converted into a force that presses the post 12 into the soil. Compared to simply relying on arm strength to press or hammer, this greatly saves physical strength, reduces labor intensity, and allows a single person to easily and quickly and firmly insert the post 1 into relatively hard soil, improving installation efficiency. The storage groove 13 allows the foot pedal 14 to be completely swiveled into the groove when not in use, flush with the outer surface of the mounting post 12. This design prevents the exposed foot pedal 14 from snagging on debris or clothing or obstructing other operations during transportation, storage, or field work, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the device. The magnet inside the storage slot 13 firmly attracts the foot pedal 14 when it is retracted, effectively preventing it from accidentally popping open due to its own weight or equipment shaking, thus ensuring the stability of the stored state.
