Description

A bird deterrent for blueberry cultivation Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blueberry cultivation technology, and in particular to a bird deterrent for blueberry cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Blueberries, a nutritious fruit rich in anthocyanins, vitamins, and various minerals, have become increasingly popular in the market in recent years. However, bird intrusion has become a significant problem in blueberry cultivation. Birds are often attracted to the delicious blueberries, and excessive pecking not only leads to a substantial reduction in blueberry yield but can also spread pathogens, affecting the healthy growth of the blueberry bushes. Therefore, implementing effective bird control measures is crucial in the blueberry growing industry.

[0003] In existing technologies, bird deterrents are one of the important means of bird control in blueberry cultivation. Utility model patent CN220571415U discloses a novel bird deterrent device, relating to the field of bird deterrence equipment technology. This bird deterrent device includes multiple parts such as an installation component, a frame, a rotating component, a connecting rod component, and a reflective component. Wind power drives the rotating component to rotate, thereby achieving a dynamic bird deterrent effect from the reflective component. It has the advantages of good bird deterrence effect, environmental friendliness, and long service life.

[0004] However, while these bird deterrents address bird control issues in blueberry cultivation to some extent, their function is relatively limited. They typically employ static or simple dynamic methods, similar to scarecrows, to deter birds, failing to provide comprehensive bird protection for blueberry bushes. Especially during the blueberry ripening season, birds are active and cunning, and a single bird deterrent method is easily adapted and avoided by them, allowing them to still damage the blueberries and severely impacting yield and quality.

[0005] Specifically, existing bird deterrents have significant limitations and technical problems in the following aspects: First, their bird-repelling range is limited, failing to cover all areas of the blueberry bushes; second, their bird-repelling methods are singular, making them easily adapted by birds; and third, some bird deterrents are complex to install and inconvenient to maintain, increasing the cost and workload for growers. These problems directly lead to reduced bird-repelling effectiveness, increased operational complexity, and an inability to meet blueberry growers' needs for efficient and comprehensive bird protection. Therefore, in response to the numerous shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need an innovative bird deterrent to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bird deterrent for blueberry cultivation, which solves the problems of existing technologies where the bird deterrent range is limited and cannot cover all areas of the blueberry tree, the bird deterrent method is singular and easily adapted by birds, and some bird deterrents are complicated to install and inconvenient to maintain, increasing the cost and workload for growers.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bird deterrent for blueberry cultivation, including a protective frame.

[0008] It also includes side slots on both sides, top and rear of the protective frame, and protective nets are fixedly connected to the inside of all the side slots.

[0009] A base plate is slidably connected to one side of the protective frame, and a side frame is fixedly connected to the upper side of the protective frame. A winding rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame, and a folded net is wound around the winding rod. The bottom of the folded net is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. A top frame is fixedly connected to the top of the protective frame, and rotating rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the top frame. A fan is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating rods. A bearing sleeve is fitted onto the other end of each of the two bearing sleeves. Several support rods are fixedly connected to each of the two bearing sleeves, and several ribbons are fixedly connected to all the support rods.

[0010] The protective frame is fixedly connected to side plates on both sides, and the bottom plate is fixedly connected to sliders on both sides. The two sliders are slidably connected to the two side plates through sliding grooves.

[0011] One end of the winding rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the winding rod passes through the side wall of the side frame via a bearing sleeve.

[0012] Among them, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the winding rod located on the outside of the side frame, and a limiting rod is provided on one side of the limiting plate. A limiting groove for use with the limiting rod is opened on both the limiting plate and the outer wall of the side frame. Several limiting grooves are opened on the limiting plate.

[0013] Both ends of the two rotating rods pass through the side wall of the top frame via bearing sleeves.

[0014] The protective frame is fixedly connected to support plates on both sides of its bottom, and the two support plates are fixedly connected to insert rods on both sides of their bottom.

[0015] This invention relates to a bird deterrent for blueberry cultivation. The bird deterrent, provided by this invention, achieves all-around protection for blueberry bushes through a protective frame and netting. The netting effectively blocks bird intrusion while allowing sunlight to reach the blueberry bushes, ensuring their normal growth. This all-around protection design solves the problem of limited bird-repelling range in existing bird deterrents, ensuring the safety of the blueberry bushes. When wind blows, the fan rotates, causing the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn rotates the ribbon, creating visual and auditory interference and effectively driving away birds. The rotation of the winding rod allows for the winding and lowering of the folded netting, enabling one side of the protective frame to be opened and closed, facilitating daily management and maintenance of the blueberry bushes for growers. Furthermore, the bird deterrent's components are securely connected, resulting in a long service life and reducing the grower's operating costs and workload. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5. A bird deterrent for blueberry cultivation includes a protective frame 1, and side grooves 11 are provided on both sides, top, and rear of the protective frame 1. Protective nets 12 are fixedly connected to the inner side of all side grooves 11. A base plate 7 is slidably connected to one side of the protective frame 1, and a side frame 9 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the protective frame 1. A winding rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame 9. A folded net 8 is wound around the winding rod 10, and the bottom of the folded net 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 7. A top frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective frame 1, and rotating rods 14 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the top frame 13. A fan 15 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating rods 14. A bearing sleeve 16 is sleeved on the other end of each of the two rotating rods 14. Several support rods 17 are fixedly connected to each of the two bearing sleeves 16, and several ribbons 18 are fixedly connected to each of the support rods 17.

[0025] First, the protective frame 1 is placed over the outside of the blueberry bush, ensuring it is firmly anchored to the soil to guarantee its stability and sturdiness. The design of the protective frame 1 takes into account the growth characteristics and space requirements of the blueberry bush, allowing it to fit snugly without hindering its growth. Next, the side grooves 11 on both sides, top, and rear of the protective frame 1, along with the protective netting 12 fixedly connected to the inside of the side grooves 11, form a robust barrier, effectively preventing birds from contacting the blueberry bush. The protective netting 12 uses a mesh design, effectively blocking bird intrusion without obstructing sunlight to the blueberry bush, ensuring normal photosynthesis. Furthermore, the bird deterrent is equipped with a dynamic bird-repelling device. A side frame 9 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the protective frame 1, and a winding rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the side frame 9. A folded netting 8 is wound around the winding rod 10. The bottom of the folding net 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 7. By rotating the winding rod 10, the folding net 8 can be wound and lowered, allowing one side of the protective frame 1 to open and close, facilitating the grower's daily management and maintenance of the blueberry bushes. Simultaneously, a top frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective frame 1, with rotating rods 14 rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the top frame 13. A fan 15 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating rods 14. The fan 15 rotates under the force of the wind, driving the rotating rods 14 to rotate. A bearing sleeve 16 is fitted onto the other end of each rotating rod 14. Several support rods 17 are fixedly connected to the bearing sleeve 16, and several ribbons 18 are fixedly connected to the support rods 17. As the rotating rods 14 rotate, the bearing sleeves 16, support rods 17, and ribbons 18 also rotate, forming a dynamic visual and auditory barrier to further deter birds and prevent them from approaching the blueberry bushes.

[0026] Furthermore, side plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective frame 1, and sliders 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 7. The two sliders 5 are slidably connected to the two side plates 4 through the sliding grooves 6 respectively. When it is necessary to open or close one side of the protective frame 1 for the daily management and maintenance of the blueberry tree, the base plate 7 can slide along the sliding grooves 6 on the side plate 4, thereby driving the folding net 8 to unfold or retract. This makes the opening and closing operation of the protective frame 1 smoother and more convenient. Growers can easily open or close the protective frame 1 without having to disassemble or reinstall the bird deterrent, saving time and effort.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the winding rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 9 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the winding rod 10 passes through the side wall of the side frame 9 via a bearing sleeve.

[0028] Furthermore, a limiting plate 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the wrapping rod 10 located on the outside of the side frame 9, and a limiting rod 20 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 19. The limiting plate 19 and the outer wall of the side frame 9 are both provided with limiting grooves 21 that cooperate with the limiting rod 20. Several limiting grooves 21 are provided on the limiting plate 19. When the wrapping rod 10 rotates to a certain position, the limiting rod 20 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 21, thereby fixing the position of the wrapping rod 10 and preventing the folded net 8 from accidentally unfolding or retracting under the action of external forces such as wind. This achieves the effect of improving the stability of the bird deterrent. The design of the limiting mechanism makes the bird deterrent more stable and reliable during use, effectively avoiding failure or damage caused by external forces.

[0029] Furthermore, both ends of the two rotating rods 14 pass through the side wall of the top frame 13 via bearing sleeves.

[0030] Furthermore, support plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the protective frame 1, and insertion rods 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the two support plates 2. When the protective frame 1 is placed on the outside of the blueberry tree, the insertion rods 3 can be inserted into the soil to provide additional support and fixation for the protective frame 1, making the bird deterrent more stable and reliable during installation and use, thus improving the stability of the bird deterrent installation. The design of the support plates 2 and insertion rods 3 enables the bird deterrent to be firmly fixed in the soil, effectively preventing tipping or displacement caused by external forces such as wind.

[0031] In summary:

[0032] The system includes a protective frame 1, with side grooves 11 on both sides, top, and rear. A protective net 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each side groove 11. A base plate 7 is slidably connected to one side of the protective frame 1. Specifically, side plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective frame 1, and sliders 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 7. Each slider 5 is slidably connected to one side plate 4 via a sliding groove 6. This design allows the base plate 7 to slide along the sliding groove 6 on the side plate 4 when one side of the protective frame 1 needs to be opened or closed for daily management and maintenance of the blueberry bushes. This facilitates the unfolding or folding of the subsequently connected folding net 8, making operation smooth and convenient, saving time and effort. A side frame 9 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the protective frame 1. A winding rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame 9. One end of the winding rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 9 via a pivot, and the other end passes through the side wall of the side frame 9 via a bearing sleeve. A folded net 8 is wound and connected to the winding rod 10, with the bottom of the folded net 8 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 7. By rotating the winding rod 10, the folded net 8 can be wound and lowered, allowing the protective frame 1 to open and close on one side, facilitating the grower's daily management and maintenance of the blueberry trees. Furthermore, a limiting plate 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the winding rod 10 on the outside of the side frame 9. A limiting rod 20 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 19, and limiting grooves 21 for use with the limiting rod 20 are provided on both the limiting plate 19 and the outer wall of the side frame 9. Several limiting grooves 21 are provided on the limiting plate 19. When the winding rod 10 rotates to a certain position, the limiting rod 20 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 21, thereby fixing the position of the winding rod 10 and preventing the folded net 8 from accidentally unfolding or retracting under the action of external forces such as wind. This improves the stability of the bird deterrent, making it more stable and reliable during use, and effectively avoiding malfunctions or damage caused by external forces. A top frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective frame 1. Rotating rods 14 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the top frame 13. Both ends of the rotating rods 14 pass through the side walls of the top frame 13 via bearing sleeves. A fan 15 is fixedly connected to one end of each rotating rod 14. The fan 15 rotates under the force of the wind, causing the rotating rod 14 to rotate. A bearing sleeve 16 is fitted onto the other end of each rotating rod 14. Several support rods 17 are fixedly connected to the bearing sleeves 16, and several ribbons 18 are fixedly connected to the support rods 17. As the rotating rods 14 rotate, the bearing sleeves 16, support rods 17, and ribbons 18 also rotate, forming a dynamic visual and auditory barrier to further deter birds and prevent them from approaching the blueberry bushes. In addition, support plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the protective frame 1, and insert rods 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the two support plates 2. When the protective frame 1 is placed on the outside of the blueberry tree, the insert 3 can be inserted into the soil to provide additional support and fixation for the protective frame 1, making the bird deterrent more stable and reliable during installation and use, and effectively preventing tipping or displacement caused by external forces such as wind.

[0033] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application.
