Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orchard protective shed technology, specifically to a semi-automated orchard protective net shed. Background Technology
[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Increasing fruit yield and improving fruit quality are the main goals of orchard production. Bird damage in orchards leaves fruit scarred, severely impacting both yield and quality. Furthermore, fruit pecked by birds is more susceptible to bacterial growth, leading to fruit diseases. In addition, the occurrence of severe weather such as hail during the growing season can also pose a threat to the safe production of fruit trees.
[0004] To ensure fruit yield and quality, various protective measures are currently used in orchards, such as common bird netting. Bird netting is used to prevent bird damage in the orchard by covering the greenhouse with insect and bird netting. However, in winter, in order to prevent the greenhouse from collapsing under the weight of heavy snow, the insect and bird netting usually needs to be taken down. This is often done manually, and after the heavy snow season, the netting must be put back down manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0005] Although existing technologies include similar rolling shutters that can be applied to the winding of insect and bird netting, the netting's mesh structure means that some of the upper mesh threads will pass through the lower mesh openings during winding. When tightened, these threads will be pressed against the lower layer, making it difficult for the netting to unroll on its own. This necessitates adding a counterweight to the bottom of the netting or manually pulling it open. However, adding a counterweight increases costs, and the constant pulling of the counterweight can reduce the netting's lifespan. Furthermore, a small tear in the netting can easily be torn into a larger tear, hindering its long-term use. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a semi-automatic protective net shed for orchards that can automatically open and close the insect and bird netting, is low in cost, saves labor and time, and is conducive to the long-term use of the insect and bird netting.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a semi-automatic protective net shed for orchards, comprising:
[0008] scaffolding;
[0009] Protective netting is installed on the top and four sides of the shed to enclose it. The protective netting at the top of the shed has one fixed end, which is fixedly connected to the shed, and the other end opposite the fixed end is the roll-up end. The protective netting on the sides of the shed is independent, with one end fixedly connected to the top of the shed and the bottom end being the roll-up end.
[0010] Multiple winding mechanisms are disposed on the top of the scaffold and at least one side of the scaffold, for winding up the protective netting on the top of the scaffold and the protective netting on the corresponding side of the scaffold, the winding mechanisms comprising:
[0011] The take-up roller is connected to the take-up end of the protective net and is used to wind the protective net. It can move linearly along the take-up direction of the protective net.
[0012] The drive unit, connected to the take-up roller, is used to drive the take-up roller to rotate and can move linearly together with the take-up roller;
[0013] The winding rope is located at both ends along the length of the winding roller. One end of the winding rope is fixedly connected to the winding roller, and the other end is connected to the top of the scaffold. Initially, the winding rope is taut.
[0014] A guide component, connected to a drive component, is used to guide the drive component to move along a predetermined trajectory.
[0015] Furthermore, the protective netting located at the top of the shed has two winding ropes at each end of the winding roller along its length. One end of each winding rope is fixedly connected to the winding roller, and the other end is connected to the top and edge of the shed, respectively. The two winding ropes are wound in opposite directions on the winding roller. Initially, the two winding ropes are taut.
[0016] Furthermore, the end of the take-up roller is provided with multiple baffles, and a take-up groove is separated between two adjacent baffles, corresponding to the corresponding take-up rope.
[0017] Furthermore, the guiding component includes a vertical guide located on one side of the scaffold. The vertical guide includes a vertical rod in a vertical posture, a sliding sleeve slidably fitted on the vertical rod, and a base plate located below the corresponding vertical rod. The vertical rod and the sliding sleeve are respectively connected to the base plate and the corresponding driving component, and the base plate is fixed to the bottom of the scaffold.
[0018] Furthermore, the guiding component includes a top guide located at the top of the scaffold; the top guide includes a guide rod disposed on one side of the top of the scaffold, the guide rod being parallel to the top of the scaffold, and a driving component located at the top of the scaffold having a through hole, the through hole being sleeved on the outside of the guide rod and being able to slide on the guide rod.
[0019] Furthermore, a splicing net is fixedly installed on the shed frame. The splicing net is located at each end of the corresponding protective net of the shed frame, except for the fixed end. Before being rolled up, the protective net is pressed on top of each splicing net.
[0020] Furthermore, a pressure line is provided at the top of the shed, which is located in the middle of the shed roof and above the protective netting and the winding roller, to prevent the protective netting at the top of the shed from bulging upwards.
[0021] Furthermore, a support member is provided at the top of the shed, which is located at the bottom of the protective net and is used to support the protective net and prevent the protective net at the top of the shed from bulging downward.
[0022] Furthermore, the frame of the shed includes multiple vertical uprights, each upright having a bearing pile at its bottom. The upright is hollow inside and has a drainage hole at its bottom, which is located above the bearing pile and communicates with the interior of the upright.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:
[0024] In this invention, during the winding of the protective net, the winding roller gradually moves upward, while the winding rope is simultaneously wound up. Since the winding rope is taut, the weight of the surrounding winding rollers and drive components is mostly borne by the winding rope, eliminating concerns about damaging the protective net. When lowering the protective net, the winding roller is reversed. As it reverses to wind up the lower winding rope, the weight of the winding roller and drive components pulls it down, preventing the protective net from being unable to open. This design is convenient, saves manpower, and is safe and reliable.
[0025] This invention can prevent insects and birds with the help of protective netting, reduce the wind speed entering the greenhouse, and block hail damage to fruit trees; at the same time, the setting of the guide component can prevent the ends of the protective netting from curling up and avoid gaps at the ends of the protective netting.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 .
[0036] This utility model discloses a semi-automatic protective net shed for orchards, comprising:
[0037] Shed 1;
[0038] Protective netting 2 is installed on the top of the shed 1 and on the four sides of the shed 1 to enclose the shed 1; one end of the protective netting 2 located on the top of the shed 1 is a fixed end, which is fixedly connected to the shed 1, and the other end opposite to the fixed end is a retractable end; the protective netting 2 located on the sides of the shed 1 is independent, with one end of its top fixedly connected to the top of the shed 1 and the bottom retractable end.
[0039] Multiple winding mechanisms 3 are disposed on the top of the scaffold 1 and at least one side of the scaffold 1, for winding up the protective netting 2 on the top of the scaffold 1 and the protective netting 2 on the corresponding side of the scaffold 1. The winding mechanism 3 includes:
[0040] The take-up roller 31 is connected to the take-up end of the protective net 2, used to wind the protective net 2, and can move linearly along the take-up direction of the protective net 2.
[0041] The drive component 32 is connected to the take-up roller 31 and is used to drive the take-up roller 31 to rotate, and can move linearly together with the take-up roller 31.
[0042] The winding rope 33 is located at both ends of the winding roller 31 along its length. One end of the winding rope 33 is fixedly connected to the winding roller 31, and the other end is connected to the top of the frame 1. In the initial state, the winding rope 33 is taut.
[0043] The guide component 34 is connected to the drive component 32 and is used to guide the drive component 32 to move on a predetermined trajectory.
[0044] In this invention, when the protective netting 2 is rolled up, the protective netting 2 around the perimeter is rolled up from bottom to top by the winding roller 31. During the winding process, the winding roller 31 gradually moves upward. At the same time, the winding rope 33 connected to the top of the frame 1 is wound up, and the winding rope 33 connected to the bottom of the frame 1 is released. Since the winding rope 33 is taut in the initial state, the weight of the winding roller 31 and the drive component 32 is mostly borne by the winding rope 33, so there is no need to worry about pulling on the protective netting 2. When the protective netting 2 is lowered, the winding roller 31 is reversed. While the winding roller 31 is reversed, the weight of the winding roller 31 and the drive component 32 will pull down the winding roller 31, preventing the protective netting 2 from being unable to open.
[0045] In one embodiment, the protective net 2 located at the top of the shed 1 has two winding ropes 33 at each end of the winding roller 31 along its length. One end of the two winding ropes 33 is fixedly connected to the winding roller 31, and the other end is connected to the top of the shed 1 and the edge of the shed 1 respectively. The two winding ropes are wound in opposite directions on the winding roller. In the initial state, the two winding ropes are in a taut state.
[0046] In practice, when lowering the protective net, the winding roller is reversed. Since all the winding ropes are taut, the winding roller reverses to wind up the lower winding rope, and the lower winding rope pulls the winding roller, preventing the protective net from failing to open.
[0047] Preferably, the winding mechanism 3 is located on two sides along the length of the shed 1. The other two sides do not need to be equipped with it, because the protective netting 2 on the sides hardly bears the pressure of heavy snow, and there is no need to worry about heavy snow collapsing the shed from the sides. It is only necessary to wind it up to create an opening for personnel and equipment to enter and exit.
[0048] Preferably, the drive component 32 can be a motor from the prior art.
[0049] In one embodiment, the end of the take-up roller 31 is provided with a plurality of baffles 311, which are arranged in sequence at intervals, with a take-up groove between two adjacent baffles 311, corresponding to the take-up rope 33. This design avoids deviation of the take-up trajectory of the take-up rope 33 when the take-up roller 31 shakes, thus preventing a reduction in the take-up quality.
[0050] In one embodiment, the guide component 34 includes a vertical guide located on one side of the scaffold 1. The vertical guide includes a vertical rod 341 in a vertical position, a sliding sleeve 342 slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 341, and a base plate 343 located below the corresponding vertical rod 341. The vertical rod 341 and the sliding sleeve 342 are respectively connected to the base plate 343 and the corresponding drive component 32. The base plate 343 is fixed to the bottom of the scaffold 1.
[0051] In specific implementation, the base plate 343 can be fixed by pre-embedding, inserting, or connecting to the bottom of the frame 1. The sliding sleeve 342 is connected to the driving component 32. When the driving component 32 rises, it drives the sliding sleeve 342 to slide on the vertical rod 341 for guidance. The vertical guide can also prevent the winding roller 31 from moving away from the frame 1, prevent the bottom of the protective net 2 from tilting up, and avoid gaps at the bottom of the protective net 2.
[0052] In one embodiment, the guide member 34 includes a top guide located at the top of the shelf 1; the top guide includes a guide rod 344 disposed on one side of the top of the shelf 1, the guide rod 344 being parallel to the top of the shelf 1, and a drive member 32 located at the top of the shelf 1 having a through hole, the through hole being sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 344 and being able to slide on the guide rod 344.
[0053] In specific implementation, the top of the shed 1 can be a flat top or a triangular top. When it is a flat top, only one guide rod 344 can be set and installed on one side of the corresponding drive component 32 on the top of the shed 1. When the top of the shed 1 is a triangular top, at least two guide rods 344 are set and set along the two oblique sides of the triangular top. At this time, the protective net 2 on the top of the shed 1 is provided in two pieces, which are located on the two top surfaces of the triangular top respectively.
[0054] In one embodiment, a splice net 11 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The splice net 11 is located at each end of the corresponding protective net 2 of the frame 1, except for the fixed end. Before being rolled up, the protective net 2 is pressed on top of each splice net 11. This design prevents birds from flying directly into the shed through gaps when gaps are created between the side ends of the protective net 2 and the frame 1.
[0055] In one embodiment, at least one pressure line 4 is provided on the top of the shed 1. The pressure line 4 is located in the middle of the shed top and above the protective net 2 and the winding roller 31, and is used to prevent the protective net 2 on the top of the shed 1 from bulging upward.
[0056] In practice, both ends of the pressure netting 4 are connected to the scaffold 1. Alternatively, the pressure netting 4 can be secured to the top of the scaffold 1 by suspending weights at both ends. The pressure netting 4 prevents the protective netting 2 at the top of the scaffold 1 from bulging upwards in the wind, thus avoiding excessive wind force that could cause the first restraining component 12 and the second restraining component 21 to separate, creating a gap between the side ends of the protective netting 2 and the scaffold 1.
[0057] Preferably, the side of the shed 1 is also provided with a pressure wire 4.
[0058] In one embodiment, a support member 13 is provided at the top of the shed 1. The support member 13 is located at the bottom of the protective net 2 and is used to support the protective net 2 and prevent the protective net 2 at the top of the shed 1 from bulging downward.
[0059] Preferably, the support member 13 is a support rod and / or drag net wire.
[0060] In one embodiment, the frame of the shed 1 includes a plurality of vertically standing uprights 14, each upright 14 having a supporting pile 15 at its bottom. The upright 14 is hollow inside and has a drainage hole 16 at its bottom. The drainage hole 16 is located above the supporting pile 15 and communicates with the interior of the upright 14.
[0061] In practice, the upright 14 is usually supported by stainless steel pipes. Since the frame of the shed 1 is usually built by welding, the weld seam will not be fully welded, and water is easy to enter the inside of the stainless steel pipe. In winter, the water inside the steel pipe will freeze and expand, which may burst the steel pipe. The opening of the drainage hole 16 can drain the water inside the steel pipe and avoid the above situation.
[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0063] It should be noted that if the utility model embodiment involves directional indications (such as up and down), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0064] Furthermore, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Additionally, if the utility model embodiments involve descriptions of "first," "second," etc., these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
