[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a cowpea cultivation rack includes a connecting component 100, a support component 200, and a connecting crossbar 300. The tops of the two support components 200 are rotatably connected by the connecting component 100, and the bottoms of the support components 200 are inserted into the soil for fixation, so that the two support components 200 form a stable triangular structure with the ground. After the support components 200 are erected, the connecting crossbar 300 is erected above the connection between the two support components 200 and connected to the connecting component 100.

[0030] Preferably, the connecting assembly 100 includes a main mounting block 110, a spring 120, a connecting crossbar fastening block 130, and a support rod fastening block 140. The main mounting block 110 has a mounting hole. One end of the spring 120 is connected to the bottom of the mounting hole, and the other end is connected to the connecting crossbar fastening block 130. The connecting crossbar fastening block 130 is slidably disposed in the mounting hole. A plurality of support rod fastening blocks 140 are rotatably disposed on the main mounting block 110. It is worth mentioning that the orientation of the connecting crossbar fastening block 130 is perpendicular to the orientation of the support rod fastening block 140. The support assembly 200 is installed on opposite sides of the main mounting block 110, and the connecting crossbar 300 is installed above the main mounting block 110.

[0031] In some preferred embodiments, the connecting crossbar fastening block 130 is provided with a connecting crossbar fastening groove to fix the connecting crossbar 300. It is worth mentioning that the cross-section of the connecting crossbar fastening groove is U-shaped and is adapted to the outer periphery of the connecting crossbar 300 so that the connecting crossbar 300 can be snapped into the connecting crossbar fastening block 130 and can also be easily removed. The connecting crossbar fastening block 130 is made of a flexible material that can be elastically deformed, such as rubber, plastic, metal, etc.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the support assembly 200 includes a support rod 210, a soil connection part 220, and a vine fixing part 230. The soil connection part 220 is rotatably installed at the end of the support rod 210. A plurality of vine fixing parts 230 are evenly distributed on the support rod 210. The cowpea vines are fixed to the support rod 210 by the vine fixing parts 230. It is worth mentioning that in order to avoid corrosion from rainwater during use and affect the service life of the cultivation frame, the support rod 210 and the connecting crossbar 300 are made of non-metallic materials.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the support rod fastening block 140 is provided with a support rod fastening slot to fix the support rod body 210. The support rod fastening block 140 has the same structure as the connecting crossbar fastening block 130 and is also made of a flexible material that can be elastically deformed. The support rod fastening slot is adapted to the rod body of the support rod body 210 and can facilitate the insertion and removal of the support rod body 210.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the soil connection portion 220 includes a fixed fork 221, a rotating connecting handle 222, and a foot pedal 223. The rotating connecting handle 222 is rotatably mounted at the end of the support rod 210. The fixed fork 221 and the foot pedal 223 are mounted on the rotating connecting handle 222, and the foot pedal 223 is driven to adjust the angle at which the fixed fork 221 is inserted into the soil layer.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, the support rod 210 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes, and the vine fixing part 230 includes an insertion rod 231, a limiting block 232, and a fixing hook 233. The insertion rod 231 and the fixing hook 233 are integrally formed. The insertion rod 231 is slidably installed in the insertion hole. The end of the insertion rod 231 is provided with an external thread, and the limiting block 232 is provided with an internal thread. The limiting block 232 is threadedly connected to the insertion rod 231. It is worth mentioning that the limiting block 232 is actually a nut. The length of the fixing hook 233 extending out of the support rod 210 can be adjusted by rotating the limiting block 232, so as to hook the cowpea vine and lightly clamp it between the fixing hook 233 and the support rod 210.

[0036] Next, the usage and steps of the cultivation rack in this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model:

[0037] S1. The top ends of the two support components 200 are rotatably connected through the connecting component 100, and then the included angle between the two support components 200 is adjusted according to the spacing between two adjacent cowpea seedlings in each row.

[0038] S2. Hold the support rod 210 and step on the foot pedal 223 to adjust the direction of the fixed fork 221 so that the fixed fork 221 is inserted vertically into the soil. The fixed forks 221 on both sides of the cultivation frame restrict the left and right movement of the support component 200, so that the built tripod is stable (the two support components 200 and the ground form a triangular structure).

[0039] S3. Repeat the above steps S1 and S2, and insert support components 200 next to two adjacent cowpea seedlings in each row.

[0040] S4. Wrap the vines of the cowpea seedlings around the support rod 210, adjust the loosening of the limiting block 232, and pull out the fixing hook 233. Use the fixing hook 233 to hook the vines to complete the fixing operation of the cowpea seedlings.

[0041] S5. The connecting crossbar 300 is placed above the two support components 200. The connecting crossbar fastening block 130 is pulled and the orientation of the connecting crossbar fastening slot is adjusted so that the connecting crossbar fastening slot faces the connecting crossbar 300. The connecting crossbar 300 is then inserted into the connecting crossbar fastening slot. Under the elastic force of the spring 120, the connecting crossbar fastening block 130 pulls the connecting crossbar 300 down and fixes it stably above the two support components 200. Different lengths of the connecting crossbar 300 can be selected to accommodate the cultivation of different numbers (number of plants) of cowpea plants.

[0042] In summary, this utility model provides a cowpea cultivation rack, which includes connecting components, supporting components, and connecting crossbars. The supporting components and connecting crossbars are quickly assembled through the connecting components to form a stable support structure. The two interconnected supporting components form a stable triangular structure with the fixed base. Different lengths of the connecting crossbars can be selected to accommodate different numbers of cowpea plants. The cowpea cultivation rack provided by this utility model has convenient connecting components, overcoming the cumbersome nature of traditional two supporting rods that need to be tied together with ropes, the inconvenience of ropes, and the instability of the assembled cultivation rack. The cultivation rack provided by this design has a simple structure, strong stability, and is easy to assemble, making it suitable for large-area cowpea or vine climbing.
