Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ivy support frame, specifically to an ivy support frame with an adjustable climbing angle. Background Technology
[0002] Ivy, as a plant with high ornamental value and ecological function, is widely used in many fields such as landscape architecture, interior decoration, and ecological restoration. Ivy belongs to the genus Hedera of the Araliaceae family and has unique morphological characteristics. Its stems are slender and flexible, and can climb on the surface of various objects. Its leaves are usually simple or trifoliate compound leaves. It is beautiful in shape and evergreen all year round, adding vitality and greenery to the environment. In landscape design, ivy is often used for vertical greening, such as decorating the exterior walls of buildings, walls, and fences.
[0003] In existing technologies, most common ivy support devices have relatively simple structures and single functions. These devices can only provide basic climbing support and cannot flexibly adjust the climbing angle of ivy according to different growth stages and actual shaping needs. In the early stages of ivy growth, its branches are relatively thin and weak and grow in an uncertain direction. Existing support devices are difficult to effectively guide it to grow in the ideal direction, which easily leads to chaotic growth and entanglement of the vines. As ivy grows, its branches increase, and since the support devices cannot change the climbing angle, it is difficult for the vines to form a layered and beautiful landscape effect, reducing the ornamental value of ivy. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide an ivy support frame with an adjustable climbing angle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable climbing angle ivy support frame to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable climbing angle ivy support frame, including a base, a column fixedly connected to the center of the upper top of the base, placement compartments for placing ivy fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the column, an arc-shaped support mechanism for facilitating climbing of ivy branches on both sides of the outer wall of the column, and a planar support mechanism for facilitating changes in the climbing angle of ivy branches at the upper top of the column.
[0006] Preferably, each set of the arc-shaped support mechanism includes two first semi-arc-shaped tubes symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column. A second semi-arc-shaped tube is slidably sleeved inside the two first semi-arc-shaped tubes. A magnetic block is fixedly connected to the end of the second semi-arc-shaped tube away from the first semi-arc-shaped tube. The second semi-arc-shaped tube is magnetically connected to the outer wall of the column through the magnetic block.
[0007] Preferably, the planar support mechanism includes protective frames fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the column. A main gear is rotatably sleeved at the center of the interior of each of the two protective frames. Two missing gears are rotatably sleeved on both sides of the main gear inside each of the protective frames. A fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each missing gear on the side away from the main gear. A planar support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of every two fixed brackets. Each main gear meshes with and drives the two missing gears respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the two planar support frames are located on both sides of the outer wall of the column, and a rectangular through hole is opened at the top of each of the two planar support frames. The outer walls of the two protective frames are symmetrically provided with two arc-shaped openings to facilitate the movement of the planar support frames.
[0009] Preferably, the top end of the column has a square opening, and a fixed rotating rod is rotatably sleeved inside the square opening at the top end of the column. The two ends of the fixed rotating rod are provided with inner bearings on the contact surfaces with the two protective frames. The fixed rotating rod is rotatably sleeved with the protective frames through the inner bearings. The two ends of the fixed rotating rod are respectively fixedly connected to the center of the two main gears on the side near the column.
[0010] Preferably, a rocker wheel is fixedly connected to the center of the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod, and several guide grooves are arranged in a circular array on both sides of the rocker wheel on the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod. Limiting sleeves are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the square opening at the top of the column. Two spline rods are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod, and guide blocks are integrally formed on the inner walls of the two spline rods. The spline rods are slidably connected to the fixed rotating rod through the guide grooves via the guide blocks.
[0011] Preferably, the spline rod engages with the limiting sleeve, a drainage groove is provided at the top of the base, a drainage outlet is provided on the outer side wall of the base corresponding to the position of the drainage groove, and a sealing block is sealed to the inner side of the outer wall of the base at the drainage outlet.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention features a planar support mechanism. Ivy is placed inside the storage compartment, and as the ivy branches climb, they are wrapped around the arc-shaped support mechanism, forming an arc shape. The branches are then connected to the planar support frame. The two planar support frames are driven by a fixed rotating rod to rotate the main gear, which meshes with a missing gear. This missing gear causes the planar support frame to move in an arc shape. Since the ivy branches are located on the planar support frame, the climbing angle of the ivy changes as the planar support frame moves in an arc shape. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable climbing angle ivy support frame, including a base 1, a column 2 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the base 1, a placement compartment 8 for placing ivy fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the column 2, an arc-shaped support mechanism 5 for facilitating ivy branch climbing on both sides of the outer wall of the column 2, and a planar support mechanism 6 for facilitating changes in the climbing angle of the ivy branches at the top of the column 2.
[0022] It should be noted that the column 2 is located at the top center of the base 1, serving to support the main structure. The placement compartment 8 is fixed on both sides of the outer wall of the column 2, providing a dedicated placement space for ivy, facilitating centralized management and ensuring orderly growth of the ivy. The arc-shaped support mechanism 5 is also located on both sides of the outer wall of the column 2. Its arc design conforms to the natural growth shape of the ivy vines, providing stable and suitable climbing support for the ivy branches, guiding the vines to grow in a specific direction, and helping the ivy form an aesthetically pleasing shape. The flat support mechanism 6 is located at the top of the column 2. Its biggest advantage is that it can easily change the climbing angle of the ivy branches. Users can flexibly adjust the angle of the flat support mechanism 6 according to actual needs, allowing the ivy branches to climb upwards at different angles to meet diverse landscape arrangement needs.
[0023] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each set of arc-shaped support mechanisms 5 includes two first semi-arc-shaped tubes 51 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column 2. A second semi-arc-shaped tube 52 is slidably sleeved inside the two first semi-arc-shaped tubes 51. A magnetic block 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the second semi-arc-shaped tube 52 away from the first semi-arc-shaped tube 51. The second semi-arc-shaped tube 52 is magnetically connected to the outer wall of the column 2 through the magnetic block 53.
[0024] It should be noted that the two first semi-circular tubes 51 are symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the column 2, providing a stable foundation for the overall structure and ensuring that the arc-shaped support mechanism 5 can function stably. The second semi-circular tube 52 is slidably fitted inside the first semi-circular tube 51. This telescopic design allows the length of the arc-shaped support mechanism 5 to be flexibly adjusted. During the growth of ivy, as the vines extend, the second semi-circular tube 52 can be easily pulled out or retracted according to actual needs, providing ivy with continuous and suitable climbing space and preventing the vines from growing messily due to insufficient support.
[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the planar support mechanism 6 includes protective frames 61 fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the column 2. A main gear 63 is rotatably sleeved at the center of the interior of each of the two protective frames 61. Two missing gears 62 are rotatably sleeved on both sides of the main gear 63 inside each protective frame 61. A fixed bracket 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each missing gear 62 on the side away from the main gear 63. A planar support frame 65 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of every two fixed brackets 64. A single main gear 63 meshes with two missing gears 62 for transmission. The two planar support frames 65 are located on both sides of the outer wall of the column 2. A rectangular through hole is opened through the top of each of the two planar support frames 65. Two arc-shaped openings 611 are symmetrically opened on the outer wall of each of the two protective frames 61 to facilitate the movement of the planar support frames 65.
[0026] It should be noted that the main gear 63 is rotated and fitted inside the center of the protective frame 61, with two missing gears 62 on each side cooperating with it. The rotation of the main gear 63 drives the missing gears 62 to rotate regularly, thereby realizing the movement of the fixed bracket 64. This allows the flat support frame 65 to be flexibly adjusted in angle. Users can easily operate it according to the growth direction and needs of the ivy branches, allowing the flat support frame 65 to provide support for the vines at different angles, meeting diverse planting and shaping requirements. The fixed bracket 64 connects the missing gears 62 to the flat support frame 65, ensuring the stability of power transmission and making the flat support frame 65 smooth and stable during angle adjustment. The flat support frame 65 is located on both sides of the outer wall of the column 2, providing a wide and stable climbing platform for the ivy branches. The rectangular through hole at the top of the frame reduces its own weight and increases the attachment points for the vines to climb, which is conducive to the growth of the vines. The symmetrical arc-shaped openings 611 on the outer wall of the protective frame 61 provide ample space for the movement of the flat support frame 65, ensuring smooth and unobstructed angle adjustment.
[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a square opening 7 is provided at the top of the column 2. A fixed rotating rod 68 is rotatably sleeved inside the square opening 7 at the top of the column 2. Inner bearings 683 are provided at the contact surfaces of the two ends of the fixed rotating rod 68 and the two protective frames 61. The fixed rotating rod 68 is rotatably sleeved with the protective frame 61 through the inner bearings 683. The two ends of the fixed rotating rod 68 are respectively fixedly connected to the center of the two main gears 63 on the side near the column 2.
[0028] It should be noted that the inner bearings 683 installed at both ends of the fixed rotating rod 68 and the contact surfaces of the two protective frames 61 greatly reduce the friction between the fixed rotating rod 68 and the protective frames 61, making the rotation of the fixed rotating rod 68 smoother and more flexible. At the same time, the inner bearings 683 also play a role in positioning and stabilizing the fixed rotating rod 68, ensuring its stability during rotation and preventing wobbling or deviation. This ensures that the planar support mechanism 6 operates accurately and reliably. When the fixed rotating rod 68 is rotated, it can simultaneously drive the two main gears 63 to rotate, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the two planar support frames 65. This allows users to easily adjust the angle of the two planar support frames 65 uniformly or separately according to the growth of the ivy, meeting the different growth stages and shaping needs of the ivy, and providing more flexible and precise support conditions for the growth of the ivy.
[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a rocker wheel 682 is fixedly connected to the center of the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68. Several guide grooves 681 are arranged in a ring array on both sides of the rocker wheel 682 on the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68. Limiting sleeves 66 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the square opening 7 at the top of the column 2. Two spline rods 67 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68. Guide blocks 671 are integrally formed on the inner wall of the two spline rods 67. The spline rods 67 and the fixed rotating rod 68 are slidably sleeved through the guide grooves 681 via the guide blocks 671. The spline rods 67 and the limiting sleeves 66 are engaged and locked. A drainage groove 3 is opened at the top of the base 1. A drainage outlet 31 is opened at the position of the drainage groove 3 on the outer wall of the base 1. A sealing block 4 is sealed inside the drainage outlet 31 on the outer wall of the base 1.
[0030] It should be noted that the rocker wheel 682 at the center of the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68 provides a convenient operating method for users. Simply turning the rocker wheel 682 manually can easily drive the fixed rotating rod 68 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the plane support frame 65. The operation is simple and effortless, making it convenient for daily use. The guide groove 681 on the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68 cooperates with the guide block 671 on the inner wall of the spline rod 67, allowing the spline rod 67 to slide on the fixed rotating rod 68. At the same time, the limiting sleeve 66 engages with the spline rod 67. This design ensures that the spline rod... The spline rod 67 can move stably along the fixed rotating rod 68, and when needed, the spline rod 67 can be fixed in the limiting sleeve 66 to limit the fixed rotating rod 68 and prevent it from rotating at will. This ensures the stability of the plane support frame 65 after angle adjustment and meets the support angle requirements of ivy at different growth stages. The drainage groove 3 opened at the top of the base 1 and the corresponding drainage outlet 31 on the outer wall can effectively collect and drain rainwater or other liquids that may accumulate around the column 2, avoiding water accumulation from corroding the support frame structure or affecting the ivy's growth environment.
[0031] Working principle: In actual use, ivy is placed in the placement compartments 8 on both sides of the outer wall of the top column 2 on the base 1. When the ivy grows branches and climbs, the branches can be wrapped around the column using the arc support mechanism 5. In the arc support mechanism 5, two first semi-arc tubes 51 are symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the column 2, and the second semi-arc tube 52 can slide inside the first semi-arc tube 51. By pulling out or retracting the second semi-arc tube 52, the support length can be flexibly adjusted according to the growth of the vine. Then, the magnetic block 53 at its end is magnetically connected to the outer wall of the column 2 to wrap the branches and make them form an arc shape, providing initial climbing support and shaping guidance for the vine.
[0032] Then, the branch is connected to the planar support frame 65 in the planar support mechanism 6. When the planar support mechanism 6 is working, the rocker wheel 682 at the center of the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68 is rotated, which drives the fixed rotating rod 68 to rotate in the square opening 7 at the top of the column 2. The fixed rotating rod 68 is rotated and sleeved with the protective frame 61 through the inner bearing 683 to ensure smooth rotation. The two ends of the fixed rotating rod 68 are fixedly connected to the center of the two main gears 63. The main gears 63 rotate accordingly. The main gears 63 mesh with the missing gears 62 on both sides inside the protective frame 61, which in turn drives the missing gears 62 to rotate. The missing gears 62 are connected to the planar support frame 65 through the fixed bracket 64, so that the planar support frame 65 moves in an arc shape in the arc opening 611 on the outer wall of the protective frame 61.
[0033] Since the branches of the ivy are located on the planar support frame 65, the climbing angle of the ivy can be changed after the planar support frame 65 moves in an arc, so as to meet different growth and shaping needs. At the same time, the guide groove 681 on the outer wall of the fixed rotating rod 68 cooperates with the guide block 671 on the inner wall of the spline rod 67, so that the spline rod 67 can slide along the fixed rotating rod 68. When the spline rod 67 engages with the limiting sleeve 66, it can limit the fixed rotating rod 68 to prevent it from rotating at will, and ensure the stability of the planar support frame 65 after the angle is adjusted.
[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
