[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a multifunctional adjustable support frame for fruit cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing fruit planting support frames having limited functionality, inconvenient height and angle adjustment, and insufficient stability.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multifunctional adjustable support frame for fruit cultivation, comprising a main support frame, an adjustment component, and a fixing component. The main support frame includes a base, a column, and a tray. The adjustment component is located between the column and the tray, allowing for adjustment of the tray's height and angle. The fixing component is located between the base and the column, enhancing the overall stability of the support frame.

[0007] The adjustment assembly includes a telescopic rod, a rotating mechanism, and a locking component. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the column, and the other end is connected to the tray. The rotating mechanism is located at the connection between the telescopic rod and the tray and is used to adjust the angle of the tray. The locking component is located at the connection between the telescopic rod and the column and is used to fix the position of the telescopic rod.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the telescopic rod includes an inner rod and an outer cylinder. The inner rod is slidably connected to the inside of the outer cylinder. The side wall of the outer cylinder is provided with a plurality of positioning holes. The side wall of the inner rod is provided with through holes corresponding to the positioning holes. The locking element is a bolt. The bolt passes through the positioning holes and the through holes to fix the inner rod to the outer cylinder.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft and a limiting plate. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the tray, and the other end is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod. The limiting plate is disposed on both sides of the rotating shaft to limit the rotation angle range of the tray.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the fixing component includes a support arm and a connecting block. One end of the support arm is hinged to the base, and the other end is hinged to the connecting block. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the column, and the stability of the support frame is changed by opening or closing the support arm.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the support arm includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. One end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the base, and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod. The other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the connecting block.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In the scheme of this application:

[0017] The adjustable components allow for flexible adjustment of the tray's height and angle, meeting the needs of different types of fruit trees at different growth stages. Specifically, the telescopic rod adjusts the height by sliding the inner rod inside the outer cylinder, and the locking mechanism secures the inner rod to the outer cylinder with bolts, ensuring stability after adjustment. The rotating mechanism adjusts the tray's angle through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the limiting plate, while the limiting plate restricts the tray's rotation range to prevent excessive rotation from damaging the fruit trees.

[0018] The overall stability of the support frame is enhanced by the fixed components. The support arm, through the hinged structure of the first and second links and the length adjustment function of the adjusting screw, allows for adjustment of the opening angle and length of the support arm according to actual needs, thereby improving the overturning resistance of the support frame. The fixed connection between the connecting block and the column further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the support arm.

[0019] The flexible padding and anti-slip mats enhance the performance of the support frame. The flexible padding effectively reduces friction and pressure damage to the fruit tree branches and trunks from the trays, extending the lifespan of the fruit trees; the anti-slip mats increase the friction between the base and the ground, preventing the support frame from sliding or tipping over during use.

[0020] In summary, this utility model solves the problems of limited functionality, inconvenient adjustment, and insufficient stability of existing support frames by utilizing the synergistic effect of the adjustment and fixing components, and has high practicality and promotional value.

[0028] This utility model provides a multifunctional adjustable support frame for fruit cultivation, whose structure and operating principle are combined with the attached... Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 A detailed explanation is provided. The overall structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a supporting main frame 1, an adjusting component 5, and a fixing component 9. The supporting main frame 1 consists of a base 2, a column 3, and a tray 4. The adjusting component 5 is located between the column 3 and the tray 4, and the fixing component 9 is located between the base 2 and the column 3. The specific structure of each component and its connection relationship will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The base 2 is the fundamental component of the entire support frame. Its shape can be rectangular or circular, and it has an anti-slip pad 13 at the bottom. The anti-slip pad 13 is fixed to the lower surface of the base 2 by adhesive or embedding. Made of polyurethane, it effectively increases the friction between the base 2 and the ground, preventing the support frame from sliding during use. The upright 3 is vertically fixed to the center of the upper surface of the base 2, and its lower end is fixed to the base 2 by welding or bolting, ensuring that the upright 3 remains vertical during use. The top of the upright 3 has a hook 14, which is fixed to the top of the upright 3 by threaded connection or welding. This hook is used to hang auxiliary tools or straps, facilitating the fixing and management of fruit tree branches.

[0030] The tray 4 is located on the upper part of the support frame and is used to support the branches and trunks of the fruit trees. A flexible padding layer 12 is provided on the upper surface of the tray 4. The flexible padding layer 12 is fixed to the upper surface of the tray 4 by adhesive or embedding. The material is rubber or silicone, which can effectively reduce friction and squeezing damage to the branches and trunks caused by the tray 4. The tray 4 is connected to the column 3 via an adjusting assembly 5, which includes a telescopic rod 6, a rotating mechanism 7, and a locking element 8. One end of the telescopic rod 6 is connected to the column 3, and the other end is connected to the tray 4, used to adjust the height of the tray 4. The telescopic rod 6 consists of an inner rod and an outer cylinder. The inner rod is slidably connected inside the outer cylinder. Several positioning holes are provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder, and through holes corresponding to the positioning holes are provided on the side wall of the inner rod. The locking element 8 is a bolt. The bolt passes through the positioning holes and through holes to fix the inner rod to the outer cylinder, thereby achieving the locking function after height adjustment. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the tray 4, loosen the bolt of the locking element 8, allowing the inner rod to slide inside the outer cylinder to the desired height, and then tighten the bolt to complete the fixation.

[0031] A rotating mechanism 7 is located at the connection between the telescopic rod 6 and the tray 4, used to adjust the angle of the tray 4. The rotating mechanism 7 includes a rotating shaft and limiting plates. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the tray 4, and the other end is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 6. Limiting plates are located on both sides of the rotating shaft to limit the rotation angle range of the tray 4. The limiting plates are fixed to the telescopic rod 6 by welding or bolting, and their function is to prevent damage to the fruit tree branches caused by excessive rotation of the tray 4. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the tray 4, the tray 4 is manually rotated until it reaches the desired angle around the rotating shaft and then stops. The limiting plates automatically limit the rotation range of the tray 4, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the angle adjustment.

[0032] A fixing component 9 is installed between the base 2 and the column 3 to enhance the overall stability of the support frame. The fixing component 9 includes a support arm 10 and a connecting block 11. One end of the support arm 10 is hinged to the base 2, and the other end is hinged to the connecting block 11. The connecting block 11 is fixed to the side of the column 3 by bolts or welding. The support arm 10 consists of a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. One end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the base 2, and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod. The other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the connecting block 11. An adjusting screw is provided between the first and second connecting rods to adjust the length of the support arm 10. When it is necessary to enhance the stability of the support frame, the relative position between the first and second connecting rods is changed by rotating the adjusting screw, thereby adjusting the opening angle and length of the support arm 10, making the overall structure of the support frame more stable. The opening angle and length of the support arm 10 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to the support requirements of different terrains and fruit tree types.

[0033] In practical applications, the operation of this support frame is as follows: First, adjust the height of the tray 4 according to the height of the fruit tree and the position of its branches. Specifically, loosen the bolts of the locking piece 8, allowing the inner rod of the telescopic rod 6 to slide to a suitable height inside the outer cylinder, then tighten the bolts to secure it. Next, adjust the angle of the tray 4 according to the growth direction of the fruit tree branches. Specifically, manually rotate the tray 4 until it reaches the desired angle around the axis of the rotating mechanism 7, then stop. The limiting plate will automatically restrict the rotation range of the tray 4. Finally, adjust the support arm 10 of the fixing component 9 according to the terrain conditions and the weight of the fruit tree. Specifically, rotate the adjusting screw to change the relative position between the first and second connecting rods, thereby adjusting the opening angle and length of the support arm 10, making the overall structure of the support frame more stable. During use, the flexible padding layer 12 on the tray 4 effectively protects the fruit tree branches from damage, and the anti-slip pad 13 at the bottom of the base 2 prevents the support frame from sliding or tipping over.

[0034] This utility model achieves flexible adjustment of the height and angle of the tray 4 through the above structural design, while enhancing the overall stability of the support frame and meeting the needs of different types of fruit trees at different growth stages.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the specific implementation principle of this utility model is provided in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0036] First, when a support frame is needed during fruit tree planting, the operator places it on the ground next to the fruit tree. The base 2 contacts the ground via an anti-slip pad 13 made of polyurethane, which significantly increases the friction between the base 2 and the ground, preventing the support frame from sliding or tipping over during use. At this time, the upright 3 is vertically fixed to the center of the upper surface of the base 2, ensuring the stability of the entire support frame's main structure.

[0037] Subsequently, based on the height of the fruit trees and the position of their branches, the operator needs to adjust the height of tray 4 to suit the actual needs of the fruit trees. Specifically, this involves loosening the locking element 8 in the adjusting assembly 5, i.e., loosening the bolts, allowing the inner rod of the telescopic rod 6 to slide inside the outer cylinder to the desired height. During this process, the through holes on the inner rod correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes on the side wall of the outer cylinder. Once the target height is reached, the operator tightens the bolts again to fix the inner rod to the outer cylinder, thus completing the height adjustment of tray 4. This process, through the sliding connection design of the telescopic rod 6 and the cooperation between the positioning holes and the through holes, achieves precise height adjustment, ensuring that tray 4 can accurately support the fruit tree branches.

[0038] Next, based on the growth direction of the fruit tree branches, the operator needs to adjust the angle of tray 4. Tray 4 is manually rotated around the axis of the rotating mechanism 7 to the desired angle. The limiting plate in the rotating mechanism 7 restricts the rotation range of tray 4, preventing damage to the fruit tree branches due to excessive rotation. Once tray 4 is adjusted to the appropriate angle, the limiting plate automatically locks the angle position of tray 4, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the angle adjustment. This design, through the coordinated action of the rotating axis and the limiting plate, enables flexible adjustment of the tray 4's angle while ensuring stability after adjustment.

[0039] After adjusting the height and angle, operators need to further enhance the overall stability of the support frame to adapt to different terrain conditions and the weight of the fruit trees. Specifically, this involves rotating the adjusting screw in the fixing assembly 9 to change the relative position between the first and second connecting rods, thereby adjusting the opening angle and length of the support arm 10. Through the hinged structure of the first and second connecting rods and the length adjustment function of the adjusting screw, the support arm 10 can flexibly adapt to different terrains and improve the anti-overturning ability of the support frame. Furthermore, the fixed connection between the connecting block 11 and the column 3 further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the support arm 10, ensuring the stability of the support frame in complex environments.

[0040] In actual use, the flexible padding layer 12 on the tray 4 plays a crucial role. Made of rubber or silicone, the flexible padding layer 12 effectively reduces friction and pressure damage to the fruit tree branches from the tray 4, protecting them from mechanical damage. Meanwhile, the anti-slip pad 13 at the bottom of the base 2 further enhances the stability of the support frame, preventing it from sliding or tipping over during use.

[0041] In summary, this utility model achieves flexible adjustment of the height and angle of tray 4 through the aforementioned operating principles and steps, while significantly enhancing the overall stability of the support frame. The support frame design not only meets the needs of different types of fruit trees at different growth stages, but also further improves its performance through the addition of flexible padding and anti-slip mats, making it highly practical and worthy of widespread application.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
