Description

A type of thin-skinned melon cultivation vine-climbing trellis Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of melon cultivation technology, and in particular to a climbing trellis for thin-skinned melons. Background Technology

[0002] Muskmelon, also known as cantaloupe or honeydew melon, is an annual vine-like herbaceous plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. It prefers sunlight and is an important summer fruit. The whole plant is used medicinally, with effects such as anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, emetic, dehumidifying, and jaundice-reducing properties. Muskmelons originally grow on the ground, but the side closest to the ground does not receive enough sunlight, which affects the production of sugar in the melon. Therefore, the fruit needs to be suspended. However, conventional hanging trellises require placing the fruit on a tray after it has grown, but the vines cannot be guided to climb upwards in the early stages of growth. Traditional hanging methods require tying a large number of nylon ropes to the trellis, which is inefficient and difficult to recycle and reuse. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In some embodiments of this application, the vertical rod includes a first sleeve fixed to the top of the base plate, a second sleeve disposed inside the first sleeve, and a fixing bolt disposed between the first sleeve and the second sleeve. The outer side of the first sleeve is provided with a plurality of first threaded holes at vertical intervals, and the outer surface of the second sleeve is provided with a second threaded hole. The fixing bolt extends to any of the first threaded holes and the second threaded holes to limit the displacement between the first sleeve and the second sleeve.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the crossbar along its length is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and the top of the slider is provided with a pin, the pin being used to limit the displacement between the slider and the crossbar.
