Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a home gardening or landscape device, specifically a garden edge system. Background Technology

[0002] In home gardening and landscaping, the construction of edging systems has always been a crucial element. Edging systems not only define different horticultural areas but also beautify the environment, maintain soil stability, and prevent soil erosion. However, traditional methods of constructing edging systems have several shortcomings.

[0003] First, traditional garden edging systems are constructed using relatively heavy sleepers or brickwork. While these materials offer some stability and strength, they are expensive and heavy, requiring significant physical effort to transport and install. More importantly, the installation of these traditional systems typically requires specialized tools and professionals, often posing a barrier for home gardening enthusiasts. Furthermore, because these systems are difficult to disassemble after installation, they lack flexibility. In some cases, users may need to adjust the boundary shape or height according to the garden's design or future needs, and traditional systems are poorly adaptable and cannot be flexibly adjusted. Besides their complex installation, numerous tools, and high cost, many existing edging systems often only allow for right angles or restrictive shapes, failing to meet users' needs for diverse shapes and sizes. Some systems also lack versatility, being suitable only for a specific type of garden design, resulting in a narrow range of applications and limiting users' creativity and design choices. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garden edging system to solve the problems of complex installation and poor flexibility of traditional edging devices.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a garden edge system, the structure of which includes a vertical shaft fixed to the ground, clips disposed on the vertical shaft, and a crossbeam connected to the clips; both ends of the crossbeam are respectively connected to one of the clips, the crossbeam is parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the vertical shaft, and is used to form a boundary structure of the garden edge; the clip includes a bushing sleeved on the vertical shaft and a clip body disposed on the outer wall of the bushing, the clip body being used to connect one end of the crossbeam; the bushings of the two clips are jointly sleeved on one vertical shaft, constituting a unit node of the garden edge system.

[0006] Furthermore, the card body includes an inner plate disposed on the outer wall of the bushing, two side wing plates symmetrically disposed at the left and right ends of the inner plate, a support plate provided at the outer end of each side wing plate, a top plate connected to the upper ends of the inner plate and the two side wing plates, and a bottom plate connected to the lower ends of the inner plate and the two side wing plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the height of the inner plate, the side wing plate, and the support plate is the same as the height of the crossbeam, and the height of the crossbeam is twice the height of the bushing.

[0008] Furthermore, a support plate connection hole is provided on the support plate, and a corresponding crossbeam connection hole is provided at both ends of the crossbeam.

[0009] Furthermore, the support plate is connected to the crossbeam by a snap-fit ​​or fastener.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the ends of the two side plates closest to the bushing is less than the distance between their ends furthest from the bushing.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the crossbeam is provided with an upper protrusion, and the lower end is provided with a connecting groove that matches the upper protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, an upper card slot plate and a lower card slot plate are respectively provided on the upper and lower parts of the card body, forming an upper card slot and a lower card slot with the top plate and the bottom plate, and a sealing plate is provided in both the upper card slot and the lower card slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing plate includes a horizontally arranged insert and a baffle vertically arranged at the outer end of the insert, the size of which matches the cross-sectional size of the upper protrusion.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner plate is an arc-shaped plate that fits into the outer wall of the bushing.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model includes a vertical shaft 1, a clamp 2 sleeved on the vertical shaft 1, and a crossbeam 3 connected to the clamp 2. The clamp 2 can rotate around the vertical shaft 1 and can also effectively support the crossbeam 3. The crossbeam 3 is parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the vertical shaft 1. Figures 2-4As shown, two clips 2, one facing forward and one facing backward, are fitted onto the same vertical axis 1, together forming a unit corner point of the garden edge system. Thus, the two clips 2 at each unit corner point can form any angle. The clips 2 at each unit corner point are connected by a crossbeam 3 to form the garden edge system. By using multiple vertical axes 1, clips 2, and crossbeams 3, a boundary system can be defined for an area. The height of the vertical axis 1 can be selected as needed; several unit corner points are sequentially fitted onto the vertical axis 1 to form a courtyard wall, garden boundary, or retaining wall of the required height.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamp 2 includes a vertical bushing 4 fitted onto the vertical shaft 1 and a clamp body 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing 4. The clamp body 5 is used to connect to one end of the crossbeam 3. The bushing 4 is a hollow structure, and its inner wall fits with the outer wall of the vertical shaft 1, ensuring that the bushing 4 can rotate freely around the vertical shaft 1. A cover 26 is provided on the uppermost bushing 4 of the vertical shaft 1 to close the upper port of the bushing 4, thereby effectively preventing dust, moisture and other debris from entering the interior of the bushing 4, ensuring that the normal rotation of the vertical shaft 1 and the bushing 4 is not disturbed. The height of the clamp body 5 is the same as the height of the crossbeam 3, and the height of the bushing 4 is half the height of the crossbeam 3. In this way, when the clamps 2 are fitted onto the vertical shaft 1 in opposite directions, the bushing 4 of one clamp 2 is on top and the bushing 4 of the other clamp 2 is on the bottom. The two crossbeams 3 connected by the two clamps 2 are at the same height, thereby ensuring the overall symmetry and stability, realizing the alignment of the crossbeams 3, and facilitating installation and adjustment.

[0034] The clamping body 5 includes an inner plate 19 connected to the vertical shaft 1, two side wing plates 20, a top plate 21, a bottom plate 22, and two support plates 6. The two side wing plates 20 are symmetrically connected to the left and right ends of the inner plate 19, and the two support plates 6 are each connected to the outer end of one side wing plate 20. The top plate 21 is connected to the upper ends of the inner plate 19 and the two side wing plates 20, and the bottom plate 22 is connected to the lower ends of the inner plate 19 and the two side wing plates 20. The height of the inner plate 19, the height of the side wing plates 20, and the height of the support plates 6 are the same as the height of the crossbeam 3.

[0035] The inner plate 19, the side wing plate 20 and the support plate 6 are all vertically arranged. The inner plate 19 is an arc-shaped plate that fits with the outer wall of the bushing 4 to avoid interference between the inner plate 19 and the adjacent bushing 4 when the two clamps 2 rotate relative to each other.

[0036] The two side wing plates 20 extend outward and form a trapezoidal shell with the inner plate 19, the top plate 21 and the bottom plate 22. The distance between the two side wing plates 20 and the end closer to the bushing 4 is smaller than the distance away from the bushing 4, so that the adjustable angle of the included angle of the two crossbeams 3 at the same corner point and the same height is larger.

[0037] The card head 2 is preferably made of a lightweight, hard plastic, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polypropylene, or styrene. However, it can also be made of any strong, durable, and weather-resistant material, such as wood, aluminum, fiberglass, or galvanized metal.

[0038] The crossbeam 3 can be made of engineered materials, preferably lightweight rigid plastics such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polypropylene, or styrene. However, the crossbeam 3 can also be made of natural materials such as wood, or any other strong, durable, and weather-resistant material such as aluminum alloy, fiberglass, or galvanized metal.

[0039] The two support plates 6 of the card head 2 have corresponding support plate connection holes 7, which are located in the middle of the support plate 6 and are used to connect with the crossbeam 3. Crossbeam connection holes 8, corresponding to the support plate connection holes 7, are provided at both ends of the crossbeam 3. The support plate connection holes 7 on the support plate 6 and the crossbeam connection holes 8 on the crossbeam 3 can be one, two, or more, and the appropriate number can be selected according to the dimensions of the support plate 6 and the crossbeam 3.

[0040] like Figure 5 ,like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the support plate 6 is connected to the crossbeam 3 via buckles 9. Buckles 9 are installed in the connection holes 7 of the support plate. Each buckle 9 includes a cap 10, several buckle arms 11 located at one end of the cap 10, and buckle heads 12 extending outward from the outer ends of the buckle arms 11. One end of the cap 10 is flat, and the other end is protruding. The flat end contacts the support plate 6, and the buckle arms 11 are located at the flat end of the cap 10. The size of the protruding end of the cap 10 matches the size of the connection hole 8 of the crossbeam. When the connection hole 8 of the crossbeam moves to the cap 10, the cap 10 enters the connection hole 8 of the crossbeam under the elastic force of the support plate 6. The caps 10 of the two buckles 9 together support one end of the crossbeam 3.

[0041] Each buckle cap 10 has two or more buckle arms 11, which are evenly spaced to form a columnar structure with a size equivalent to the connection hole 7 of the support plate. In its natural state, the buckle heads 12 are slightly larger than the size of the connection hole 7 of the support plate, and the outer end of the buckle head 12 has a bevel to facilitate smooth passage through the connection hole 7 of the support plate. The length of the buckle arms 11 is equivalent to the thickness of the support plate 6, ensuring that the buckle 9 can be securely fixed to the support plate 6.

[0042] In addition to being connected to the crossbeam 3 via the clips 9, the support plate 6 can also be connected to the crossbeam 3 via fasteners, such as bolts, screws, nails, or retaining pins.

[0043] The crossbeam 3 has a hollow, elongated structure with ribs 13 inside to increase its overall strength and resistance to deformation. Both the top and bottom surfaces of the crossbeam 3 are flat, facilitating alignment with adjacent crossbeams 3.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 11 As shown, the structure of Embodiment 2 is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that in this embodiment, the upper end of the crossbeam 3 is a raised portion 14 with a circular arc cross-section, and the lower end of the crossbeam 3 is a recessed connecting groove 15 that matches the raised portion 14. The raised portion 14 and the connecting groove 15 achieve a tight fit and seamless connection between the upper and lower crossbeams 3. When the raised portion 14 of the lower crossbeam 3 contacts the connecting groove 15 of the upper crossbeam 3, they fit together perfectly, which not only enhances the connection stability between the structures but also greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process. It also makes the entire structure more visually unified and aesthetically pleasing, while achieving more efficient force transmission and distribution in terms of function.

[0046] like Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, an upper slot plate 23 is connected to the upper part of the inner plate 19 and the two side wing plates 20. The upper slot plate 23 and the top plate 21 together form a horizontal upper slot. A sealing plate 16 is engaged in the upper slot. The sealing plate 16 includes an insert 17 for insertion into the upper slot and a baffle 18 vertically connected to the outer end of the insert 17. The size of the baffle 18 is equivalent to or slightly larger than the cross section of the upper protrusion 14 of the crossbeam 3 to ensure that it can tightly fit and seal the openings at both ends of the upper protrusion 14. This effectively prevents foreign objects such as dust, debris, water, and insects from entering the interior of the crossbeam 3. The inner end of the insert 17 is the insertion end. The insertion end of the insert 17 is rounded and slightly smaller in size to facilitate smooth insertion into the slot. One or more support feet 25 are provided at the lower end of the insert 17. The height of the support feet 25 can be increased as needed to ensure that it matches the height of the upper or lower slot. When the insert 17 is inserted into the upper or lower slot, the support leg 25 and the insert 17 form a tight friction fit with the inner wall of the corresponding slot.

[0047] Similarly, a lower retaining plate 24 is connected to the lower part of the inner plate 19 and the two side wing plates 20. The lower retaining plate 24 and the bottom plate 22 also form a horizontal lower retaining groove, in which a sealing plate 16 is also engaged.
