Description

A plant irrigation support Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation support technology, specifically a plant irrigation support. Background Technology

[0002] In plant irrigation operations, irrigation supports play a crucial role as an auxiliary irrigation device. They provide stable support for irrigation pipes or sprinklers, ensuring that irrigation water is accurately and evenly sprayed onto the plants, meeting their water requirements for growth. However, traditional plant irrigation supports have some significant problems in practical applications.

[0003] Traditional plant irrigation supports are typically simple rod-shaped structures that are directly inserted into the soil for fixation. While this structure can be easily buried in loose soil, it presents numerous challenges when needing to be removed after irrigation. Due to the loose soil, the support tends to stick tightly to the surrounding soil during removal, sometimes pulling up part of the turf along with it. This not only damages the integrity and aesthetics of the turf, affecting its normal growth, but may also disrupt soil structure, reducing its water and fertilizer retention capacity and hindering the maintenance of a suitable environment for subsequent plant growth. Therefore, a new plant irrigation support system is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-6. A plant irrigation support includes a first tube 1. The first tube 1 is provided with a plurality of limiting shafts 12 symmetrical about the axis of the tube. Each limiting shaft 12 is provided with a support component 4 for upper limit rotation. The lower end of the first tube 1 is provided with a soil pressing component 3. The soil pressing component 3 includes a rotating part 31, a sliding disc 32 and two pedals 33.

[0032] The bottom of the rotating part 31 is provided with a soil-piercing tip 311 for breaking the soil, and the upper end is provided with a rotating clamp 314 that is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first tube body 1. The middle part of the rotating part 31 is provided with an annular groove 312 and a strip-shaped groove 313.

[0033] The sliding disk 32 has an annular hole 322 that cooperates with the rotating part 31. The wall end of the annular hole 322 on the sliding disk 32 is provided with a protrusion 323. The sliding disk 32 can rotate annularly along the first groove 312 and slide linearly along the second groove 313 through the protrusion 323.

[0034] In this embodiment, several handles 11 are installed in the middle of the first pipe body 1. These handles 11 provide a point of leverage for operators when moving, installing, and dismantling the plant irrigation support, making it easy for personnel to grip and apply force, avoiding slippage or inconvenience due to direct contact with the pipe body, and facilitating subsequent installation and dismantling, thus improving the safety and convenience of the entire operation process. The upper end is connected to the second pipe body 2, which is equipped with nozzles 21 for spraying water. Irrigation water can be transported from the first pipe body 1 to the second pipe body 2, and then sprayed onto the plants by the nozzles 21 in a suitable manner to meet the water requirements for plant growth. At the same time, the nozzles 21 can be configured with different types and specifications according to actual irrigation needs to achieve different spraying effects, such as mist or columnar spray. The lower end of the first pipe body 1 is also provided with a water inlet port 13. The water inlet port 13 is the water source access point for the entire irrigation system. It can be connected to external water pipes or other water supply devices to ensure that irrigation water can smoothly enter the first pipe body 1, providing a water source guarantee for the entire irrigation process. The size and interface type of the water inlet port 13 must be compatible with the matching water supply equipment to ensure the sealing and stability of the connection and prevent leakage.

[0035] In this embodiment, two straight rods 315 are also vertically fixed on the rotating member 31. The rods 315 facilitate the rotation of the rotating member 31 inserted into the soil, allowing the protrusion 323 to switch between the first groove 312 and the second groove 313.

[0036] In this embodiment, two rotating shafts 332, which are rotatably connected to the sliding disk 32, are installed on one side of the pedal 33. The sliding disk 32 has an adapter groove 321 that mates with the rotating shaft 332. The depth of the adapter groove 321 can be reasonably designed according to the thickness of the sliding disk 32 and the thickness of the pedal 33 to ensure that the bottom surface of the pedal 33 is coplanar with the bottom surface of the sliding disk 32 when the pedal 33 is opened. This can further increase the soil compaction area of ​​the device and prevent the soil and lawn from being pulled out during disassembly. The rotatability of the pedal 33 makes the device more flexible and portable.

[0037] In this embodiment, the two pedals 33 are arranged symmetrically in mirror image. This symmetrical design allows the operator to maintain balance when pressing the pedals 33, resulting in more even force application and improved soil compaction. Furthermore, each pedal 33 is equipped with anti-slip grooves 331. These grooves increase the friction between the operator's foot and the pedals 33, preventing slippage and potential operational errors or accidents, thus improving operational safety and reliability.

[0038] In this embodiment, a set of support components 4 includes a first rod 41, a second rod 42 and a locking bolt 43. One end of the first rod 41 is rotatably connected to the limiting shaft 12 and the maximum included angle with the first tube 1 is 45°. The other end of the first rod 41 is telescopically connected to the second rod 42. The locking bolt 43 is threaded through the second rod 42 and abuts against the first rod 41.

[0039] It should be noted that this telescopic sleeve structure allows the length of the support component 4 to be adjusted according to actual needs. When the irrigation area is uneven, the operator can loosen the locking bolt 43, adjust the sleeve length between the second rod 42 and the first rod 41, and then tighten the locking bolt 43 to fix it, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the support to meet the irrigation needs in different scenarios.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bottom of the second rod 42 is also rotatably connected to a foot pad 44, and the bottom of the foot pad 44 is provided with a plurality of spikes 441.

[0041] It should be noted that the rotating connection design of the foot pad 44 allows it to automatically adjust its angle according to the actual ground conditions, ensuring full contact with the ground and increasing the friction and stability between the support component 4 and the ground. The spikes 441 further enhance the grip between the foot pad 44 and the ground, especially on soft soil or sand. The spikes 441 penetrate deep into the ground, preventing the support component 4 from sliding or sinking during use, ensuring the irrigation bracket remains stable throughout the irrigation process and providing reliable support for irrigation operations.

[0042] It should be further explained that the spikes 441 are relatively short, so they will not damage the land, and they penetrate the ground only shallowly, so they will not cause a large amount of soil to be stuck and brought out.

[0043] In summary, the soil compaction component 3 of this plant irrigation support is cleverly designed. During installation, the rotating part 31 inserts into the soil with its soil-piercing tip 311, and the protrusion 323 of the sliding disc 32 cooperates with the groove 312 of the rotating part 31. The rotating pedal 33 compacts the soil. During disassembly, rotating the rotating part 31 creates a sliding engagement between the protrusion 323 and the groove 313. Stepping on the pedal 33 and lifting the device completes the disassembly. This effectively reduces damage to loose soil and the soil structure, maintaining the integrity of the grassland and the health of the soil.

[0044] This plant irrigation bracket features an adjustable support assembly 4. The first rod 41 is rotatably connected to the limiting shaft 12 and has a maximum angle of 45° with the first tube 1. The second rod 42 is telescopically connected to the first rod 41 and fixed with a locking bolt 43. The support range and height can be flexibly adjusted. At the same time, the spikes 441 on the bottom foot pads 44 of the second rod 42 can further stabilize the bracket and ensure stable support during irrigation.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] During installation, first insert the soil-piercing tip 311 of the rotating component 31 into the soil, and connect its rotating head 314 to the bottom of the first pipe body 1. Rotate the pedal 33 until it engages with the groove 312 of the rotating component 31. Press down on the pedal 33, and the protrusion 323 of the sliding disc 32 rotates within the groove 312, transmitting force to the rotating component 31, causing it to press down on the surrounding soil to compact it, increasing the friction between the support and the soil, and ensuring stability. At the same time, adjust the support assembly 4 according to the terrain and irrigation needs. Rotate the first rod 41 around the limiting shaft 12 to the maximum angle of 45°, loosen the locking bolt 43, adjust the extension length of the second rod 42 to change the support range, and then tighten it to fix it. The foot pads 44 and spikes 441 penetrate deep into the ground to further improve the stability of the support. Then connect the water inlet port 13 to the water supply device. Irrigation water passes through the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 and is sprayed onto the plants by the nozzle 21.

[0047] During irrigation, the stable support ensures that nozzle 21 sprays water accurately to meet the water needs of the plants.

[0048] During disassembly, rotating the round rod 315 drives the rotating component 31 to rotate, causing the protrusion 323 to slide from groove one 312 to groove two 313, forming a sliding fit. Then, pressing down on the pedal 33 and lifting the rotating component 31 allows the rotating component 31 to be easily pulled out, minimizing damage to the grass and soil structure, as the soil has been compacted and the sliding disc 32 and pedal 33 are pressed together. Finally, retracting the support assembly 4 and disconnecting the water inlet connection completes the disassembly, facilitating storage and transport.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
