Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic drying mats, specifically a foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat. Background Technology

[0002] A drying mat, also known as a "drying mat," is a bamboo mat used by farmers to dry agricultural products. A grain-drying bamboo mat refers to the bamboo mat used by ancient farmers when drying grains in the sun. This traditional method of drying grain has a history of thousands of years and was a common phenomenon in the lives of ancient Chinese farmers. Bamboo mats are not only used for drying grains but also for drying other agricultural products such as beans and peppers. Common agricultural plastic drying mats are mostly one-piece designs, typically rolled up for storage. However, due to their large size and long length after rolling, they take up a lot of space, making them extremely inconvenient during transportation and storage. For example, in the limited cargo space of a farm vehicle, a long rolled-up drying mat will occupy a significant amount of space, affecting the loading of other farm tools or agricultural products. Therefore, we have proposed a foldable, portable agricultural plastic drying mat. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat, comprising a foldable drying mat one and a drying mat two, which are connected by a hinge assembly. The drying mat one and the drying mat two are woven from polymer materials, and adhesive structure one and adhesive structure two that can be glued together are respectively provided on the drying mat one and the drying mat two.

[0005] Preferably, the polymer material is HDPE.

[0006] Preferably, the first adhesive structure is a hook and loop fastener, and the second adhesive structure is a hook and loop fastener female attachment.

[0007] Preferably, both adhesive structure one and adhesive structure two are made of soft magnets.

[0008] Preferably, each of the two corners at opposite ends of the drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 is provided with a corner protrusion, and a round hole is provided on the corner protrusion.

[0009] Preferably, the hinge assembly includes two rectangular fixing blocks and an intermediate component. Each of the two rectangular fixing blocks has a notch on one side. The two ends of the intermediate component extend into the notch. One of the rectangular fixing blocks is connected to the first drying pad. The second drying pad has a rectangular notch at the position corresponding to the other rectangular fixing block. The other rectangular fixing block is fixedly installed inside the rectangular notch.

[0010] Preferably, the intermediate component includes an intermediate connecting shaft and circular grooves fixedly installed at both ends of the intermediate connecting shaft. Side circular balls are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the notch, and the circular grooves are rotatably engaged inside the side circular balls.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat features a foldable structure, consisting of two mats connected by a hinge assembly. When folding, the two mats are first pressed together, then rolled up horizontally. Compared to traditional direct rolling methods, its rolled-up length is shorter, significantly reducing storage volume. For example, in rural areas with limited warehouse space, more mats can be stored, or a larger quantity can be loaded during transport, improving space utilization. The shorter rolled-up length also makes it easier and more convenient for farmers to carry the mats to different drying areas. Whether carried on the shoulder or placed on small transport vehicles, its length will not cause inconvenience, effectively reducing the labor burden on farmers.

[0013] 2. This foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat features a hinged connection between mat one and mat two. The folding process doesn't involve directly bending the mat's surface; instead, the hinge rotates to achieve a snug fit. This avoids creases on the polymer woven material, protecting the mat's structure and extending its lifespan. For example, even after multiple folds, the mat surface remains flat, less prone to damage or breakage due to creases. A crease-free surface not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures items are laid evenly, preventing pile-up or slippage and maintaining optimal drying results.

[0014] 3. This foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat features corner protrusions and round holes at the two corners of mat one and mat two, which are located opposite each other. In use, ground stakes are inserted through these holes into the soil to secure the mat firmly to the ground. When drying agricultural products outdoors in windy conditions, this effectively prevents the mat from being blown away or tilted, ensuring smooth drying. For example, when drying grains in coastal areas or windy open spaces, this fixing method ensures the safe drying of the grains and reduces losses caused by mat movement.

[0015] 4. This foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat features two adhesive structures, one using Velcro and the other using soft magnets. After folding, the mat and the other two structures can quickly and firmly adhere or attract each other. This ensures that the mat remains folded during subsequent rolling and transport, preventing accidental unfolding and providing convenience and stability throughout the storage process. For example, when transporting the folded mat to its storage location, the adhesive structures help maintain its compact fold shape, preventing it from loosening. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5A foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat includes a foldable drying mat 1 and a drying mat 2, which are connected by a hinge assembly. The drying mat 1 and the drying mat 2 are woven from a polymer material. Adhesive structures 1 3 and 2 4, which can be glued together, are respectively provided on the drying mat 1 and the drying mat 2. Since existing plastic drying mats are woven, folding them in the middle area will cause creases on the surface. When this device needs to be folded and stored, the drying mat 1 and the drying mat 2 are folded, and then the adhesive structures 1 3 and 2 4 are glued together. Then, it is rolled up horizontally to complete the folding and rolling. Compared with the existing direct rolling, the length after rolling is shorter, and since the drying mat 1 and the drying mat 2 are hinged, no creases are caused.

[0024] Furthermore, the polymer material is HDPE.

[0025] Furthermore, adhesive structure 1 3 is a Velcro attachor, and adhesive structure 2 4 is a Velcro mate. When the sun mat 1 and sun mat 2 are folded, adhesive structure 1 3 and adhesive structure 2 4 are positioned correspondingly and are glued together.

[0026] Furthermore, adhesive structure 3 and adhesive structure 4 use soft magnets. When the sun mat 1 and sun mat 2 are folded, adhesive structure 3 and adhesive structure 4 are positioned correspondingly and are attracted together. The setting of soft magnets does not affect the subsequent normal winding.

[0027] Furthermore, corner protrusions 5 are provided at the two corners of the sun-drying mat 1 and sun-drying mat 2 at opposite ends. Round holes 6 are provided on the corner protrusions 5. When the device is fully unfolded and laid on the ground, ground nails are inserted into the soil through the round holes 6 to fix the device and prevent it from being blown away or tilted by the wind when used outdoors.

[0028] Furthermore, the hinge assembly includes two rectangular fixing blocks 8 and an intermediate component. Each of the two rectangular fixing blocks 8 has a notch 9 on one side. The two ends of the intermediate component extend into the notch 9 respectively. One of the rectangular fixing blocks 8 is connected to the first drying pad 1. The second drying pad 2 has a rectangular notch 7 at the position corresponding to the other rectangular fixing block 8. The other rectangular fixing block 8 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular notch 7.

[0029] Furthermore, the intermediate component includes an intermediate connecting shaft 10 and circular grooves 12 fixedly installed at both ends of the intermediate connecting shaft 10. Side circular balls 11 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the notch 9. The circular grooves 12 are rotated and engaged inside the side circular balls 11. When the drying pad 1 and the drying pad 2 are folded, the drying pad 1 is flipped upwards. At this time, the intermediate connecting shaft 10 moves accordingly. After the drying pad 1 and the drying pad 2 are attached, the intermediate connecting shaft 10 becomes vertical.

[0030] Structural Description:

[0031] Sunbathing mat 1:

[0032] Definition and Position: As an indispensable part of the foldable portable agricultural plastic drying mat, it together with drying mat 2 to form a complete drying mat. In the overall structure, it is connected to drying mat 2 through a specific hinge component and is of equal importance. The two work together to complete the various functions of the drying mat.

[0033] Material: Woven from high-molecular materials, specifically HDPE (high-density polyethylene). HDPE material gives the sun mat excellent chemical resistance, allowing it to remain stable in complex outdoor environments and resist corrosion from soil chemicals or acid and alkali residues from agricultural products. It also possesses high strength and toughness, making the sun mat resistant to breakage and damage during frequent folding, unfolding, and daily use, ensuring durability and a long service life.

[0034] Functions and Operation: When in use, if folding for storage is required, drying mat 1 can be folded relative to drying mat 2. Specifically, flip drying mat 1 upwards so that it fits snugly against drying mat 2, completing the first step of folding and laying the foundation for subsequent storage. When unfolded for use, lay both mats flat together to provide sufficient area for drying agricultural products.

[0035] Sunbathing mat 2:

[0036] Definition and Location: Together with Sunbathing Pad 1, it forms a foldable portable agricultural plastic sunbathing pad. It is tightly connected to Sunbathing Pad 1 via a hinge assembly and is a key component of the entire sunbathing pad structure.

[0037] Material: It is also woven with HDPE polymer material, the same material as the sun mat 1, to ensure that the entire sun mat is consistent in physical properties and chemical stability. Whether it is the flexibility when folded or the environmental resistance when used outdoors, the two can work together.

[0038] Functions and Operation: When folded for storage, Drying Mat 2 waits for Drying Mat 1 to fold over and fit snugly against it. When unfolded for use, it lies flat on the ground along with Drying Mat 1, providing a supporting surface for drying items. In terms of structural design, a rectangular notch 7 is provided at the position corresponding to the rectangular fixing block 8 that connects to Drying Mat 1, for precise installation of the rectangular fixing block 8, achieving a stable hinge connection with Drying Mat 1 and ensuring reliable connection during folding and unfolding.

[0039] Adhesive Structure 1.3:

[0040] Definition and location: A specific structure specially set on the drying mat 1, whose position is carefully planned so that after the drying mat 1 and the drying mat 2 are folded, they can accurately interact with the adhesive structure 24 on the drying mat 2.

[0041] Material and Form: Two possible materials and forms are available. One is Velcro, which is soft, lightweight, and has excellent adhesion. Its stickiness is not easily lost with repeated use and it reliably adheres to the Velcro backing after the mat is folded, keeping the mat compact in the folded state. The second option is soft magnets. These magnets not only attract and hold the mat in place after folding, but their soft texture also does not hinder subsequent rolling, ensuring smooth winding.

[0042] Function: The core function is to securely fix the folded drying mats 1 and 2 together with the adhesive structure 4. This ensures a stable folded state during subsequent horizontal rolling of the drying mats, preventing accidental unfolding and ensuring convenient and stable storage.

[0043] Adhesive Structure 2.4:

[0044] Definition and position: Set on the drying mat 2, it corresponds strictly to the position of the adhesive structure 3 on the drying mat 1, and is an important structure for fixing the drying mat after folding.

[0045] Material and Form: Corresponding to the material and form of Adhesive Structure 1 (3). If Adhesive Structure 1 (3) is a Velcro attach piece, then Adhesive Structure 2 (4) is a Velcro attach piece. The tiny hook-like structures on the surface of the Velcro attach piece can tightly bond with the plush structure of the attach piece, forming a strong adhesive force. If Adhesive Structure 1 (3) is a soft magnet, then Adhesive Structure 2 (4) also uses a soft magnet material. When the two soft magnets are facing each other, they attract each other magnetically, achieving a tight adhesion.

[0046] Function: When the drying mat is folded, when drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 are folded into place, adhesive structure 2 4 quickly interacts with adhesive structure 3. Whether it is by Velcro or soft magnet, drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 can be firmly fixed, ensuring that the drying mat always remains folded and does not loosen during subsequent horizontal rolling and transportation, providing stability for the storage process.

[0047] Corner protrusion 5:

[0048] Definition and Location: Distributed at two corners opposite each other on Sunbathing Mat 1 and Sunbathing Mat 2, each sunbathing mat has one corner protrusion 5 at each of these two specific locations, for a total of four. This location distribution is based on actual usage needs, providing reliable anchoring points for outdoor use of the sunbathing mats.

[0049] Material and Structure: The material is the same HDPE material as the main body of the sun mat, ensuring overall durability and stability. Structurally, it is a protruding part from the edge of the sun mat, with a certain height and strength, capable of withstanding a certain amount of external pulling force without damage.

[0050] Function: Its main function is to facilitate the fixing of the sun drying mat. When used outdoors, considering the influence of natural factors such as wind, the mat needs to be firmly fixed to the ground. The corner protrusion 5 achieves this purpose through the round hole 6, which works in conjunction with the ground nail. It distributes the pressure on the edge of the mat when the ground nail is inserted into the soil, preventing the mat from being damaged due to excessive local stress during the fixing process.

[0051] Hole 6:

[0052] Definition and Location: Precisely drilled on the corner protrusions 5, with each corner protrusion 5 corresponding to a circular hole 6. This positional relationship allows the circular holes 6 to fully utilize the structural advantages of the corner protrusions 5 to achieve their fixing function.

[0053] Function: As a key structure connecting the drying mat and the ground anchor, its function is crucial. After the drying mat is fully unfolded and laid on the ground, the ground anchor is inserted into the soil through the round hole 6. The inner diameter of the round hole 6 matches the outer diameter of the ground anchor, ensuring a tight fit after insertion and preventing loosening. In this way, the drying mat is firmly connected to the ground, resisting the influence of outdoor wind and other factors, ensuring that the drying mat remains stable during use, preventing it from being blown away or tilted, and providing a stable platform for drying agricultural products.

[0054] Rectangular notch 7:

[0055] Definition and Location: Specifically created on drying mat 2, its exact location corresponds to the rectangular fixing block 8 that connects to drying mat 1. The size and shape of the rectangular notch 7 precisely match the rectangular fixing block 8, making it the key connection point between drying mat 2 and the rectangular fixing block 8.

[0056] Function: The main function is to provide installation space for the rectangular fixing block 8, enabling a tight connection between the drying pad 2 and the rectangular fixing block 8. By fixing the rectangular fixing block 8 inside the rectangular notch 7, the drying pad 2 can cooperate with the rectangular fixing block 8 of the intermediate component and the drying pad 1, ultimately achieving a hinged connection with the drying pad 1. This connection method ensures the stability and reliability of the drying pad 1 and the drying pad 2 during folding and unfolding, allowing the entire drying pad to open and close smoothly.

[0057] Rectangular fixing block 8:

[0058] Definition and Quantity: These are important components of the hinge assembly, and there are two in total. These two rectangular fixing blocks 8 play a crucial role in connecting and supporting the entire hinge structure.

[0059] Position and Connection: One rectangular fixing block 8 is tightly connected to the first drying pad 1. The connection method can be hot melt, adhesive bonding, or other connection processes suitable for HDPE materials to ensure that the two become a strong whole. The other rectangular fixing block 8 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular notch 7 of the second drying pad 2. It also adopts a reliable fixing method, such as setting a slot or screw hole in the rectangular notch 7, and fixing it with snap-fit ​​or screws to make the rectangular fixing block 8 and the second drying pad 2 firmly connected.

[0060] Structure and Function: Each rectangular fixing block 8 has a notch 9 on one side, designed to cooperate with the intermediate component. The rectangular fixing block 8 connects with the intermediate component, allowing the drying pad 1 and drying pad 2 to rotate relative to each other, achieving folding and unfolding functions. In the entire hinge structure, the rectangular fixing block 8 bears various stresses on the drying pads 1 and 2 during folding and unfolding; therefore, it must possess sufficient strength and stability to ensure the normal operation of the hinge structure.

[0061] Gap 9:

[0062] Definition and Location: A notch 9 is formed on one side of each rectangular fixing block 8. The position and size of the notch 9 are precisely designed to fit the two ends of the intermediate component.

[0063] Function: To provide space for movement at both ends of the intermediate component. During the folding or unfolding of drying mat 1 and drying mat 2, the two ends of the intermediate component move and rotate within the notch 9. The shape and size of the notch 9 both ensure that the intermediate component moves flexibly within it and limit its range of motion, ensuring that the intermediate component moves within a specified trajectory. This ensures that the folding and unfolding of drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 are carried out in an orderly and stable manner, and avoids damage to the hinge structure due to excessive movement of the intermediate component.

[0064] Intermediate connecting shaft 10:

[0065] Definition and location: It is the core part of the intermediate component, located between two rectangular fixed blocks 8, and its two ends are connected to the structure in the notch 9 on the rectangular fixed block 8.

[0066] Structure and Function: Circular grooves 12 are fixedly installed at both ends of the intermediate connecting shaft 10, which rotatably engage with the side circular balls 11 on the inner walls of the notch 9. When drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 are folded, drying mat 1 flips upwards, and the intermediate connecting shaft 10 moves accordingly. Its two circular grooves 12 rotate on the side circular balls 11, ensuring smooth movement. When drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 are in contact, the intermediate connecting shaft 10 becomes vertical, completing the key folding action. During unfolding, the intermediate connecting shaft 10 also plays a role, guiding drying mat 1 and drying mat 2 to rotate relative to each other until fully unfolded. It is a key component for realizing the hinge function of drying mat 1 and drying mat 2, ensuring that they can be flexibly folded and unfolded.

[0067] 11 spherical spheres on the side:

[0068] Definition and location: Located on the inner walls of the two sides of the notch 9 of the rectangular fixing block 8, each side of the inner wall of the notch 9 has a side circular ball 11, which corresponds to the circular grooves 12 at both ends of the middle connecting shaft 10.

[0069] Function: The side circular spheres 11 rotatably engage with the circular grooves 12 at both ends of the central connecting shaft 10, providing a rotational support point for the central connecting shaft 10. This design allows the central connecting shaft 10 to rotate flexibly within the notch 9 of the rectangular fixing block 8, enabling relative rotation between drying mat 1 and drying mat 2, thus completing the folding and unfolding actions. The spherical shape of the side circular spheres 11 ensures low friction and smooth movement when the circular grooves 12 rotate on them, while also withstanding certain radial and axial forces, ensuring the stability and reliability of the hinge structure during frequent folding and unfolding of the drying mats.

[0070] Circular groove 12:

[0071] Definition and position: It is fixedly installed at both ends of the middle connecting shaft 10, and its position corresponds precisely to the side circular balls 11 on the inner walls of the notch 9 on both sides of the rectangular fixing block 8, and can fit tightly with the side circular balls 11.

[0072] Function: The circular groove 12 and the side circular ball 11 rotate and engage, forming a key structure for enabling the intermediate connecting shaft 10 to rotate within the notch 9 of the rectangular fixing block 8. During the folding and unfolding of the drying pad 1 and the drying pad 2, the circular groove 12 rotates around the side circular ball 11, providing guidance and support for the movement of the intermediate connecting shaft 10. Its internal shape matches the spherical shape of the side circular ball 11, ensuring smooth and accurate rotation. Simultaneously, the size and structural design of the circular groove 12 take into account its role in fixing the intermediate connecting shaft 10 during rotation, preventing the intermediate connecting shaft 10 from detaching from the side circular ball 11 during movement, thus ensuring the reliability of the entire hinge structure.

[0073] Working principle: When this device needs to be folded and stored, fold the first drying mat 1 and the second drying mat 2, then attach the first adhesive structure 3 and the second adhesive structure 4 together, and then roll it up horizontally to complete the folding and rolling.

[0074] Although embodiments of the present 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 present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
