A support rod structure and a support device for aerial root plants. Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a support rod structure and a support device for aerial root plants. It is applicable to the field of plant support equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Aerial roots generally refer to roots exposed to the air; especially those growing on epiphytes and not in contact with soil, but often serving to anchor the plant to a support and frequently performing photosynthesis. Aerial roots are found in areas with high rainfall, high temperatures, and high humidity. They have a respiratory function and can absorb moisture from the air. In parks, botanical gardens, and other similar areas, to encourage the growth of aerial roots for public viewing, it is necessary to provide the plants with air at temperatures and humidity higher than the surrounding air. A common method is to create a tropical rainforest space within the park, plant aerial root plants within this space, and provide the necessary tropical rainforest environmental conditions for the plants to grow aerial roots. However, this method consumes a significant amount of energy, and visitors entering the rainforest space are also affected by the tropical rainforest environment, impacting their viewing experience.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0025] Example 1 is a support rod structure.
[0026] In this embodiment, there is a rod body 1, which is hollow and has air holes on its side wall.
[0027] The fogging device 2 is connected to the pole 1 via the connecting pipe 3. The fogging device 2 can generate fog, which is then transported into the pole 1 via the connecting pipe 3.
[0028] The air-driving mechanism, installed inside the connecting pipe 3, drives the airflow between the fogging device 2 and the pole 1, causing the fog to flow towards the pole 1. Thus, after the fogging device 2 generates fog, the air-driving mechanism within the connecting pipe 3 causes the fog to flow into the pole 1 and finally exit from the air holes on the pole 1. This facilitates the regulation of humidity at the location of the pole 1, ensuring that the aerial root plants are in a high-humidity environment when the pole 1 is installed on them.
[0029] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the connecting pipe 3 is lower than the outlet end, and the outlet end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the lower end of the rod 1. This makes it easier for the mist to flow back into the fogging device 2 when it condenses on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3 or the rod 1.
[0030] Example 2 is a support rod structure. Based on Example 1, the fogging device 2 has a water tank 2-1 with an air inlet and an air outlet. The connecting pipe 3 is connected to the air outlet. A water pump 2-2 is installed inside the water tank 2-1, and an atomizing nozzle 2-3 is connected to the water pump 2-2. Thus, when the water pump 2-2 is running, it guides the water stored in the water tank 2-1 to the atomizing nozzle 2-3, and finally sprays mist from the nozzle 2-3. Under the action of the water pump 2-2, the water stored in the water tank 2-1 is consumed, and water can be replenished to the water tank 2-1 through the air inlet.
[0031] Example 3 is a support rod structure. Based on Example 2, the air-driving mechanism has a mounting bracket installed inside the connecting pipe 3, and a fan 4 is mounted on the mounting bracket. Thus, under the action of the fan 4, air is driven from the air inlet of the water tank 2-1 into the water tank 2-1, and carrying the generated mist, flows through the air outlet of the water tank 2-1 to the connecting pipe 3 and the rod body 1, and finally exits from the air hole of the rod body 1.
[0032] Example 4 is a support rod structure. Based on Example 1, this example adds a filter membrane to the outer wall of the rod 1. Thus, when air carrying mist is discharged through the air holes of the rod 1, the filter membrane effectively filters impurities in the air.
[0033] Example 5 is a support rod structure. Based on Example 1, this example also includes a controller 9. The fogging device 2 and the air-driving mechanism are all communicatively connected to the controller 9, which can control the operation of the fogging device 2 and the air-driving mechanism. This facilitates control of the operation of the fogging device 2 and the air-driving mechanism through the controller 9.
[0034] Example 6 is a support rod structure, which has:
[0035] Rod 1 is hollow and has air holes on its side wall;
[0036] The fogging device 2 is connected to the pole 1 via the connecting pipe 3. The fogging device 2 can generate fog, which is then transported into the pole 1 through the connecting pipe 3.
[0037] The air-driving mechanism, installed inside the connecting pipe 3, can drive the airflow between the fogging device 2 and the pole 1, and drive the fog to flow towards the pole 1.
[0038] The fogging device 2 has a water storage tank 2-1, an air inlet and an air outlet, and a connecting pipe 3 connected to the air outlet. A water pump 2-2 is installed inside the water storage tank 2-1, and an atomizing nozzle 2-3 is connected to the water pump 2-2.
[0039] A water inlet pipe is connected to the water storage tank 2-1, through which water can be replenished into the water storage tank 2-1.
[0040] The air-driving mechanism has a mounting bracket installed inside the connecting pipe 3, and a fan 4 is mounted on the mounting bracket.
[0041] A filter membrane is installed on the outer wall of rod 1.
[0042] It also has a controller 9, and the fogging equipment 2 and the air drive mechanism are all connected to the controller 9. The controller 9 can control the operation of the fogging equipment 2 and the air drive mechanism.
[0043] Example 6 is a support device for aerial root plants. In this example, it includes:
[0044] 5. The clamp is attached to the branches of the aerial root plant;
[0045] At least three poles 1 are evenly arranged around the aerial root plants. The upper end of the pole 1 is connected to the clamp 5 by the connecting mechanism 6, and the lower end of the pole 1 is anchored to the ground by the anchoring mechanism 7.
[0046] The connecting mechanism 6 has a first mounting plate 6-1 installed on the upper end of the rod 1, and two second mounting plates 6-2 are installed on the clamp 5 at corresponding positions. The first mounting plate 6-1 on the rod 1 is snapped between the two second mounting plates 6-2 on the clamp 5, and the first mounting plate 6-1 and the second mounting plates 6-2 are connected by bolts 8.
[0047] The anchoring mechanism 7 has anchor nails 7-3 anchored to the ground. A third mounting plate 7-1 is installed at the lower end of the rod 1. Two fourth mounting plates 7-2 are installed at corresponding positions on the anchor nails 7-3. The third mounting plate 7-1 on the rod 1 is snapped between the two fourth mounting plates 7-2 on the anchor nails 7-3. The third mounting plate 7-1 and the fourth mounting plates 7-2 are connected by bolts 8. In this way, the rod 1 is installed around the aerial root plants, providing good support for them. At the same time, the misty air sprayed from the air holes of the rod 1 can regulate the temperature and humidity around the aerial root plants, making the conditions more suitable for the respiration and water absorption of the aerial roots.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
