Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a connecting component for greenhouse columns and arch rods. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, people's demand for fruits and vegetables is increasing, thus requiring crops to be available year-round. As a result, greenhouses are being used more and more widely. However, due to different environments and external loads in different regions, the connection between greenhouse columns and arched rods is becoming more important in order to ensure the stability of greenhouses and increase the connection stability of greenhouse structures.

[0003] The existing connectors include:

[0004] 1. Traditional connection methods, such as connecting arch rods through gutters, result in insufficient structural strength, making it difficult to withstand extreme weather conditions; require more drilling, making installation complex and labor-intensive; and non-perfect fit during installation affects the stress-bearing surface, leading to uneven stress distribution.

[0005] 2. One-piece die casting results in high manufacturing costs, and the fixed dimensions of the connectors cannot adapt to different sizes with varying structures, leading to low versatility.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the connection problem between the column and the arch rod, ensuring a firm connection between the components. The use of bolted connections increases the versatility of the connection. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a connector for greenhouse columns and arch rods, which can flexibly connect arch rods of different sizes.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A connecting component for greenhouse columns and arch rods, comprising a connecting component body 1, an arch rod fixing side plate 5, a gutter fixing bottom plate 6, and a gutter fixing side plate 7;

[0009] The main body 1 of the connector is a heart-shaped structure with left and right symmetry, and its bottom end is connected to the column connecting part 2; the outer sides of the main body 1 of the connector are L-shaped, and the arch rod fixing side plate 5 is fixedly connected to them respectively; the top of the main body 1 of the connector is fixedly connected to the gutter fixing bottom plate 6 and the gutter fixing side plate 7 respectively.

[0010] The arch rod 4 is fixed at the fixed side plate 5 by elliptical bolts 3.

[0011] The gutter fixing side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner two sides of the top of the connector body 1; the gutter fixing bottom plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the top of the connector body 1, and the gutter is vertically fixed through the gutter fixing bottom plate 6 and the gutter fixing side plate 7.

[0012] The arch rods 4 on both sides of the main body 1 of the connector are symmetrical and oriented diagonally upward, forming a Y-shape with the column connection part 2.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Because this utility model has a fixed structure connecting the gutter, arch, and column, it can more effectively increase stability. In extreme weather conditions, it can increase the stability of the greenhouse and reduce agricultural losses. The arch fixing side plates use bolts to fix the arch, allowing the structure to adapt to various cross-sections and making the connectors more practical. Compared to integrated die-casting technology, this utility model offers better cost-effectiveness and greater flexibility in use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a connector for greenhouse columns and arch rods.

[0020] A connector for greenhouse columns and arches includes a connector body 1, arch fixing side plates 5, gutter fixing base plates 6, and gutter fixing side plates 7. The connector body 1 has a symmetrical heart-shaped structure and includes two arch fixing side plates 5 and a column connecting part 2. The arches 4 are fixed to the arch fixing side plates 5 by elliptical bolts 3. The gutter is vertically fixed to the gutter fixing base plates 6 and gutter fixing side plates 7 using one bolt for each.

[0021] By setting the outer sides of the main body 1 of the connector to be L-shaped, when fixing the arch rod, its bottom end can be directly placed on the bottom arch rod fixing side plate 5 in the L-shape, and the arch rod can be fixed to the vertical arch rod fixing side plate 5 by elliptical bolts 3. This avoids the arch rod connection part that is directly die-cast in one piece in the prior art.

[0022] Specifically, in one embodiment, the gutter is vertically fixed to the gutter fixing base plate 6 and the gutter fixing side plate 7 using bolts, one bolt for each. The column is fixed to the connector body 1 using six bolts on the side facade and four bolts on the bottom of the connector. During operation, the connector is fixed to the column with bolts, and then the connector and the arch are connected and fixed using special-shaped bolts. After that, the drainage gutter is placed at the fixing position of the connector, and bolts are passed through the bolt holes on the gutter fixing base plate 6 and the gutter fixing side plate 7 to fix the drainage gutter to the gutter fixing base plate 6 and the gutter fixing side plate 7.

[0023] This utility model features symmetrical arched rods 4 on both sides of the main body 1 of the connector, pointing diagonally upwards, forming a Y-shape with the arched rod connection part 5 and the column connection part 2. This facilitates the concentration of the greenhouse roof's supporting force onto the central column.

[0024] This invention uses bolts to fix the various parts, increasing the structural stability of the greenhouse and thus enabling it to withstand various weather conditions and reduce losses.

[0025] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
