Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of grape cultivation technology, specifically relating to a grape growing rack for winemaking. Background Technology

[0002] In wine grape cultivation, vine shape and different trellis systems guide the grapevines to form different canopy structures.

[0003] The canopy is a curtain-like structure formed by the current year's new shoots, supported by the trunk, vines, or perennial branches and shoots (including one-year-old branches) of the grapevine. Although the shoots contain leaves, fruit, tendrils, tips, and lateral shoots, the leaves are the most visible part, hence the name "leaf canopy." The microclimate of the leaf canopy layer has a profound impact on the plant's physiological processes, thus affecting the content and types of carbohydrates, acids, and phenols. Competition for light energy within the leaf canopy layer is a limiting factor for photosynthetic productivity. The structure of the leaf canopy layer affects photosynthesis and the distribution of photosynthetic products, leading to differences in fruit quality and consequently affecting the quality of the wine.

[0004] In the prior art, Chinese invention patent application number CN202211405355.X discloses a method for cultivating wine grapes suitable for strong light and high temperature. The main process is as follows: (1) Based on horizontally tied vines or one-year-old branches, the new shoots on the vines or one-year-old branches are fixed with wire so that they grow upright for 65 to 95 cm; (2) After reaching the height of upright growth, the new shoots grow freely to both sides of the grape row and droop in a parabolic shape; (3) When the new shoots droop to below the fruiting zone, the new shoots are pruned; at this time, the new shoots and leaves form a canopy; (4) After the fruit enters the color-changing period, the new shoots are pruned until the end of the new shoots is 20 to 30 cm above the fruiting zone. In this application, the new shoots grow freely to both sides of the grape row and droop in a parabolic shape. They are then pruned to form a canopy. However, the free growth of the new shoots is random, and the number and density of the new shoots drooping to one side of the grape row vary. In addition, the angle of the drooping new shoots is different, resulting in different thicknesses of the canopy. This leads to different microclimates in the canopy layer in the same planting environment, resulting in significant differences in fruit quality. At the same time, this method increases the workload of pruning and makes it difficult to achieve a relatively uniform standard for canopy parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, this application provides a grape growing rack for winemaking to solve the technical problems in the prior art where the large differences in the drooping of new shoots lead to different leaf canopy thicknesses, resulting in different microclimates of the leaf canopy layer in the same planting environment, which in turn leads to large differences in fruit quality; at the same time, it increases the workload of pruning and makes it difficult to achieve a relatively uniform standard for leaf canopy parameters.

[0006] The technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems in this application is as follows:

[0007] A grape growing rack for winemaking, comprising:

[0008] Several frames, each frame including vertical rods and guide rods, the vertical rods being vertically fixed to the ground, one end of each guide rod being connected to the top of the vertical rod and forming a parabolic shape opening downwards from the top of the vertical rod;

[0009] Binding wires are arranged in parallel between any two adjacent frames; each binding wire is slidably provided with several rattan fixing components.

[0010] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the vine fixing assembly includes a sliding body and a binding member disposed on the sliding body. The sliding body can slide along the binding wire, and the binding member is used to fix the grape vine to the binding wire.

[0011] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape planting rack, the sliding body is sleeved on the binding wire, one end of the sliding body is provided with a threaded conical sleeve, the threaded conical sleeve is provided with a plurality of long grooves arranged in an axial array, and a tightening nut is threaded onto the threaded conical sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the binding component includes any one of binding straps, steel wire, iron wire, and clamps.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the distance between adjacent binding wires is 30cm to 60cm.

[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the horizontal distance between the two ends of the guide rod is 50cm to 70cm.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, both ends of the binding wire are provided with connecting parts, and any two adjacent rack bodies are provided with mounting parts on opposite sides, and the mounting parts are detachably connected to the connecting parts.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the connecting part includes a mounting block and at least two protrusions disposed on the outer circumference of the mounting block. The mounting block is perpendicularly connected to the binding wire. The mounting part includes a tension groove formed in the frame body and a mounting hole for the connecting part to enter and exit the tension groove. The shape of the mounting hole is adapted to the shape of the connecting part. When the connecting part is located in the tension groove, the protrusions and the tension groove can be matched in a limiting engagement along the length direction of the binding wire.

[0017] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the inner wall of the tension groove facing the mounting hole has at least two anti-rotation grooves that avoid the mounting hole. The shape of the anti-rotation groove is adapted to the shape of the connecting part. When the connecting part is located in the tension groove, the connecting part and the anti-rotation groove can be limited and engaged in the circumferential direction of the binding wire.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned grape growing rack, the vertical pole is provided with legs.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following advantages:

[0020] This application discloses a grape growing trellis for winemaking, comprising several frame sections and binding wire. Each frame section includes vertical rods and guide rods. The vertical rods are fixed vertically to the ground, and one end of each guide rod is connected to the top of the vertical rod, forming a downward-opening parabolic shape from the top of the vertical rod. When wine grapes grow to a designated height, the new shoots need to be allowed to droop before being pruned into a canopy. Two adjacent guide rods and the binding wire between them guide and fix the growth direction of the new shoots, ensuring that the growth height, drooping direction, and drooping angle of each new shoot remain at a uniform level. This allows each new shoot to be pruned according to the same standard, resulting in a canopy with relatively uniform parameters. Consequently, the microclimate of the canopy layer is consistent in the same planting environment, leading to uniform fruit quality, while reducing the workload and difficulty of pruning.

[0021] Several binding wires are arranged parallel to each other between any two adjacent frame structures; several vine fixing components are slidably installed on each binding wire. When the new grape shoots grow upwards to a certain height above the binding wires, the shoots are fixed to the binding wires. The traditional binding method uses ropes, and each binding point requires manual rope tying. In this solution, the vine fixing components are set on the binding wires. When it is necessary to bind the new shoots, the nearest vine fixing component can be slid over to fix the shoot, which greatly improves work efficiency. Moreover, the vine fixing components only need to be installed on the binding wires at the initial stage of the wine grape planting trellis construction and can be reused every year, reducing the consumption of binding ropes and environmental pollution.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6In one specific embodiment of this application, a grape growing trellis for winemaking includes several frame bodies 100. Each frame body 100 includes vertical rods 110 and guide rods 120. The vertical rods 110 are vertically fixed to the ground, and one end of the guide rod 120 is connected to the top end of the vertical rod 110, forming a parabolic shape that opens downwards from the top end of the vertical rod 110. Binding wires 200 are arranged parallel to each other between any two adjacent frame bodies 100. Several vine fixing components 300 are slidably disposed on each binding wire 200. The vertical rods 110 provide support as the grapevines grow upwards, while the guide rods 120 mainly assist in guiding the grapevines to grow into the desired tree shape and form a canopy. The guide rods 120 can be C-shaped or U-shaped, etc. The vertical rods 110 together form a frame body 100, which resembles a walking stick in shape. Two frames 100 and the binding wire 200 between them form a complete wine grape planting rack. Depending on the size of the planting site, different numbers of frames 100 can be selected to meet the actual planting needs.

[0033] Specifically, after the wine grape vines are unfurled in spring, they are typically fixed to trellises, specifically the wine grape planting trellises used in this application in China. First, the vines are secured to the nearest binding wire 200, allowing the new shoots to grow vertically upwards. When the new shoots grow to a certain height above the binding wire 200, they are then fixed back to the binding wire 200. The connection between the new shoots and the binding wire 200 is achieved using vine fixing components 300. Multiple vine fixing components 300 are installed on each binding wire 200 as needed. In use, simply slide the nearest vine fixing component 300 over to secure the new shoot to the binding wire 200, significantly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the vine fixing components 300 only need to be installed on the binding wire 200 during the initial setup of the wine grape planting trellis and can be reused annually, reducing the consumption of binding ropes and environmental pollution.

[0034] When the new shoots grow to the designated height, that is, the top of the frame 100, they need to be allowed to droop and grow to a suitable length before being pruned to form a canopy. At this point, the new shoots are fixed to the binding wire 200 between two adjacent guide rods 120, following the bending direction of the guide rod 120. This ensures that the new shoots grow at the same height, drooping direction, and drooping angle. It is important to note that when fixing the new shoots to the binding wire 200 between two adjacent guide rods 120, the new shoots should be fixed above the binding wire 200 to prevent some new shoots from drooping if fixed below. In this environment, the two adjacent guide rods 120 and the binding wire 200 between them guide and fix the growth direction of the new shoots, keeping the growth height, drooping direction, and drooping angle of each new shoot at a uniform level. Thus, when pruning them, each new shoot is pruned according to the same standard, resulting in a canopy with relatively uniform parameters. This ensures a consistent microclimate within the canopy layer in the same planting environment, resulting in uniform fruit quality, while reducing the workload and difficulty of pruning.

[0035] As described above, the vine fixing component 300 can slide on the binding wire 200 and fix the new shoots, meaning the vine fixing component 300 performs two main actions: sliding and fixing. In a preferred embodiment, the vine fixing component 300 includes a sliding body 310 and a binding member 320 disposed on the sliding body 310. The sliding body 310 can slide along the binding wire 200, and the binding member 320 is used to fix the grapevine 500 to the binding wire 200. The sliding of the sliding body 310 on the binding wire 200 drives the binding member 320 to slide. When it is necessary to fix the grapevine 500, simply slide the nearest vine fixing component 300 over for use, which is convenient and quick.

[0036] However, if the grapevine slides along the binding wire 200 via the sliding body 310, it will cause the grapevine to grow at an angle and may even affect the growth of other grapevines. Furthermore, to facilitate adjusting the relative position between the grapevine and the binding wire 200, it is necessary not only to fix the grapevine to the binding wire 200 but also to lock the sliding body 310. Further, the sliding body 310 is sleeved on the binding wire 200, and one end of the sliding body 310 is provided with a threaded conical sleeve 311. The threaded conical sleeve 311 has several long grooves 312 arranged in an axial array, and a tightening nut 313 is threaded onto the threaded conical sleeve 311.

[0037] In use, loosening the threaded sleeve allows the sliding body 310 to slide on the binding wire 200; when the binding member 320 fixes the grapevine and the binding wire 200 together, tightening the threaded sleeve will press the conical surface of the conical sleeve tightly. Since the conical sleeve has many grooves cut along the axial direction, it will shrink inward and hold the binding wire 200 in the middle to play a locking role, preventing the grapevine fixing component 300 from sliding along the binding wire 200 and firmly fixing the grapevine to the binding wire 200.

[0038] The vine fixing component 300 also needs to perform the binding action. Therefore, the binding component 320 further includes any one of binding tape, steel wire, iron wire, and clamp 321. The type and form of the binding component 320 are not specifically limited, as long as it can fix the grape vine 500 to the binding wire 200. For ease of use, the clamp 321 is preferred as the binding component 320 in this application. The working principle of the gripper 321 is similar to that of the spring clip. The clamp 322 of the gripper 321 is designed in an arc shape, which can better fit the grapevine 500. The middle part of the gripper 321 is hinged to the top of the connecting post 325. A spring 323 is provided between the clamp 322 and the sliding body 310. The handle 324 of the gripper 321 and the clamp 322 are located on both sides of the connecting post 325. When the handle 324 is pressed down, the spring 323 is stretched and the clamp 322 opens. When the handle 324 is released, the spring 323 returns to its original position and the clamp 322 closes, clamping the grapevine 500, thereby fixing the grapevine 500 to the binding wire 200 and between the gripper.

[0039] In another specific embodiment of this application, the distance between adjacent binding wires 200 is 30cm to 60cm. A suitable spacing between the binding wires 200 can make the tree shape more regular, facilitating more uniform growth of the subsequent leaf canopy to achieve even and uniform shading of the fruit.

[0040] Furthermore, the horizontal distance between the two ends of the guide rod 120 is 50cm to 70cm. When the grapevine grows downward along the guide rod 120, if the horizontal distance between the two ends of the guide rod 120 is too close, the leaf canopy will allow ventilation and light to pass through; if the horizontal distance between the two ends of the guide rod 120 is too far, it will not be able to effectively shield the fruit. Therefore, the horizontal distance between the two ends of the guide rod 120 should be maintained at 50cm to 70cm.

[0041] For ease of installation, each end of the binding wire 200 is provided with a connecting part 210, and any two adjacent frame bodies 100 are provided with an installation part 130 facing each other. The installation part 130 is detachably connected to the connecting part 210. This detachable connection between the binding wire 200 and the frame body 100 facilitates installation and makes replacement convenient when the binding wire 200 ages and needs to be replaced.

[0042] Furthermore, the connecting part 210 includes a mounting block 211 and at least two protrusions 212 disposed on the outer periphery of the mounting block 211. The mounting block 211 is perpendicularly connected to the binding wire 200. The mounting part 130 includes a tension limiting groove 131 formed in the frame 100 and a mounting hole 132 for the connecting part 210 to enter and exit the tension limiting groove 131. The shape of the mounting hole 132 is adapted to the shape of the connecting part 210. When the connecting part 210 is located in the tension limiting groove 131, the protrusions 212 and the tension limiting groove 131 can be limited and engaged in the length direction of the binding wire 200.

[0043] During installation, align the connecting part 210 with the mounting hole 132 and place it into the tension groove 131. Then rotate the connecting part 210 to cause the protrusion 212 to be misaligned with the corresponding position on the mounting hole 132. This allows the protrusion 212 and the tension groove 131 to achieve a limiting fit in the length direction of the binding wire 200. When the connecting part 210 is pulled outward, it will be fixed to the frame 100 and will not be pulled out due to this limiting fit. The number of protrusions 212 is set to at least two to better achieve the limiting fit in the length direction of the binding wire 200. When it is necessary to remove the binding wire 200, rotate the connecting part 210 until it is fully aligned with the mounting hole 132, and then it can be taken out of the mounting hole 132. It should be noted that the inner wall of the mounting hole 132 should fit against the outer wall of the connecting part 210, so that the connecting part 210 can just fit into the mounting hole 132. In this way, when the connecting part 210 rotates in the tension groove 131, and the protrusion 212 and the corresponding position of the protrusion 212 on the mounting hole 132 are misaligned, the connecting part 210 will not be pulled out, thereby achieving the goal of fixing the binding wire 200 to the frame 100 through the connecting part 210.

[0044] To prevent external forces such as wind from causing the binding wire 200 to shake and thus move the connecting part 210 until it happens to be perfectly aligned with the mounting hole 132 and slides out of the mounting hole 132, in a preferred embodiment, the tension limiting groove 131 has at least two anti-rotation grooves 133 on its inner wall facing the mounting hole 132 and avoiding the mounting hole 132. The shape of the anti-rotation grooves 133 is adapted to the shape of the connecting part 210, and the number of anti-rotation grooves 133 is the same as the number of protrusions 212. When the connecting part 210 is located in the tension limiting groove 131, the connecting part 210 and the anti-rotation grooves 133 can be limited and engaged in the circumferential direction of the binding wire 200. After the connecting part 210 is placed into the limiting groove, rotate the connecting part 210 until the protrusion 212 on the connecting part 210 coincides with the anti-rotation groove 133. At this point, the protrusion 212 on the connecting part 210 can be placed into the anti-rotation groove 133, and due to the action of the anti-rotation groove 133, the connecting part 210 will not rotate in the circumferential direction. This achieves circumferential limiting of the connecting part 210, so that even if driven by external force, the connecting part 210 will not rotate. To improve the limiting effect, when... After the connecting part 210 is installed on the frame 100, the binding wire 200 between two adjacent frames 100 should be pulled until it is taut. To remove the connecting part 210, simply push the binding wire 200 towards the tension limiting groove 131. When the connecting part 210 is pushed into the tension limiting groove 131, rotate the binding wire 200 so that the binding wire 200 drives the connecting part 210 to rotate until it is completely aligned with the mounting hole 132. Then the connecting part 210 can be taken out, that is, the binding wire 200 can be removed from the frame 100.

[0045] In another specific embodiment of this application, the vertical rod 110 is provided with legs 400. The number of legs 400 can be set according to the situation, and preferably one is set on each of the east, west, south and north sides of the vertical rod 110 to make the frame 100 more stable.

[0046] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
