Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable climbing support technology, specifically to a modular three-dimensional support for climbing cucumber vines. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern agricultural planting, cucumbers are an important vegetable variety. Innovation in their planting technology is crucial to improving yield and quality. The planting model of climbing cucumbers can make full use of space and improve land utilization, while the supporting three-dimensional support is a key facility to ensure the orderly growth of cucumber vines and good fruit development.

[0003] With the development of large-scale and intensive agriculture, traditional cucumber trellises can no longer meet the needs of modern planting. Modular three-dimensional trellises have gradually become a research hotspot due to their advantages such as easy assembly and flexible space utilization.

[0004] However, existing modular three-dimensional supports for climbing cucumbers still have some shortcomings in use. For example, the invention patent with authorization announcement number CN109197249A discloses a cucumber planting support, which relates to the field of trellis structure technology. The main structure includes a body, fixed legs, horizontal connecting parts, horizontal bars and diagonal bars. The cucumber planting support is inserted into the soil and fixed by the fixed legs. The locking parts at the top of the body are interlocked to support each other and prevent the cucumber planting support from tipping over. The horizontal bars are set between adjacent bodies to facilitate the vines of the plant to twine around. One end of the diagonal bar is locked to the bottom of the horizontal connecting part by a claw, and the other end is inserted into the soil so that the entire cucumber planting support will not tip over.

[0005] While this technical solution has its advantages, most current support systems use upright columns directly inserted into the soil for support, with crossbeams built from the tops of multiple columns. The spacing between these crossbeams is generally constant, and they are typically fixed to the columns using snap-fit ​​connections. This fixed layout, limited by these connection points, results in an unreasonable structural design and spatial arrangement. It cannot adapt to varying planting spacing, leading to inconsistent climbing pole spacing that cannot be adjusted based on the specific location of the cucumber vines. This restricts vine growth space, resulting in poor ventilation and light penetration, increasing the likelihood of pests and diseases, and reducing fruit quality. Therefore, we propose a modular three-dimensional support system for climbing cucumbers. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular three-dimensional support for climbing cucumbers, so as to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A modular three-dimensional support for climbing cucumbers includes multiple vertically arranged support rods. A top support plate is fixedly installed at the top of each support rod. A vertically arranged screw is fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the top support plate. A perforated plate is fitted onto each screw, and a pressing plate is threaded onto each screw to press the perforated plate against the surface of the top support plate. A threaded sleeve is inserted into a through hole in the perforated plate, and a handle is fixedly installed at the top of the threaded sleeve against the surface of the perforated plate. A climbing vertical rod is located below the perforated plate, and a stud is fixedly installed at the top of the climbing vertical rod. The stud is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the perforated plate has a perforated plate structure, and the outer diameter of the top support plate and the outer diameter of the pressing plate are both larger than the diameter of the through holes in the perforated plate.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the screw is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the four perforated plates, and a knob is fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressing plate, with the knob threadedly connected to the screw;

[0011] This feature allows for the application of multiple perforated plates to the same screw section for efficient assembly.

[0012] Preferably, the outer diameter of the handle is larger than the diameter of the through hole in the perforated plate, and multiple sets of climbing side bars are fixedly installed on the climbing vertical bar.

[0013] Preferably, multiple sets of climbing side bars are arranged along the height direction of the climbing vertical bar, and the number of climbing side bars in each set is 4 to 8.

[0014] Preferably, the distance between the upper and lower sets of climbing side poles is between 10cm and 20cm, and the length of the climbing side pole is between 5cm and 8cm.

[0015] Preferably, a tapered insert is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the vertical support rod, and the tapered insert is conical.

[0016] Preferably, a foot-operated force plate is also fixedly installed on the bottom end of the vertical support rod, and the foot-operated force plate is used for pressing down on the ball of the foot.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This utility model, through an adjustable structure consisting of a top support plate, screws, a perforated plate, and a pressing plate, enables flexible adjustment of the support space layout. Users can adjust the position of the vertical support rods according to the needs of cucumber planting spacing, growth stage, etc., to achieve the corresponding support position on the perforated plate. By increasing or decreasing the number of perforated plates and adjusting their positions, the spacing of the climbing rods can be freely adjusted to assist the climbing cucumber vines. In addition, the perforated plate has the characteristic of light transmission, which effectively solves the problem of fixed and inflexible traditional support layout, providing sufficient and reasonable growth space for cucumber vines and improving ventilation and light transmission conditions.

[0019] 2. This utility model uses a threaded connection between the threaded sleeve, handle, climbing vertical rod, and stud to make the installation and disassembly of the climbing vertical rod more convenient. Moreover, its position and height can be precisely adjusted according to the specific growth part of the cucumber vine. Compared with the traditional fixed climbing rod setting, this modular connection is not only convenient for installation and maintenance, but also fully meets the climbing needs of cucumbers at different growth stages, helps cucumber vines grow in an orderly manner, and improves fruit quality.

[0020] 3. This utility model makes the support structure more stable by setting a tapered insert and a foot-operated force plate at the bottom of the vertical support rod. The tapered insert makes it easy to insert into the soil, while the foot-operated force plate allows the operator to press down with their foot to firmly fix the vertical support rod to the ground.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular three-dimensional support for climbing cucumbers, including multiple vertically arranged vertical support rods 1, a top support plate 12 fixedly installed at the top of the vertical support rods 1, a vertically arranged screw rod 13 fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the top support plate 12, a perforated plate 2 sleeved on the multiple screw rods 13, and a pressing plate 14 threadedly connected to the screw rods 13 for pressing the perforated plate 2 onto the upper surface of the top support plate 12, so that the perforated plate 2 can be sleeved on the screw rods 13 and pressed and fixed onto the top support plate 12 by rotating the pressing plate 14. Compared to traditional fixed-structure supports, the number of mesh plates 2 can be flexibly increased or decreased on the same screw 13 according to actual planting needs, and the spatial layout of the support can be adjusted. This allows for flexible adjustment of the support structure and provides a more reasonable growth space for cucumber vines. For example, four mesh plates 2 arranged in a matrix can be fitted onto the same screw 13 at the same corner, so that a vertical support rod 1 can support four adjacent mesh plates 2 simultaneously.

[0031] In this embodiment, a threaded sleeve 33 is inserted into the through hole in the perforated plate 2. A handle 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the threaded sleeve 33, which abuts against the upper surface of the perforated plate 2. A climbing vertical rod 3 is provided below the perforated plate 2. A stud 31 is fixedly installed at the top of the climbing vertical rod 3. The stud 31 and the threaded sleeve 33 are threadedly connected, ensuring that the position of the climbing vertical rod 3 can be adjusted according to the position of the climbing cucumber vine during use, making it convenient to use.

[0032] Specifically, the perforated plate 2 has a perforated plate structure, allowing the screw 13 to be supported at any through-hole on the perforated plate 2. At the same time, the threaded sleeve 33 can also be inserted into any through-hole on the perforated plate 2 for assembly. The outer diameter of the top support plate 12 and the outer diameter of the clamping plate 14 are both larger than the diameter of the through-hole in the perforated plate 2. When the perforated plate 2 is fixed on the screw 13, the top support plate 12 and the clamping plate 14 can effectively limit the position, preventing the perforated plate 2 from slipping off the screw 13. This ensures the structural stability of the support after it is built and avoids the cucumber vines from climbing due to the loosening of the perforated plate.

[0033] Furthermore, the length of the screw 13 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the four perforated plates 2. A knob 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressing plate 14. The knob 15 is threadedly connected to the screw 13, allowing the operator to easily place multiple perforated plates 2 on the same screw 13 and tighten the pressing plate 14 by rotating the knob 15. This design greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of the support structure and meets the diverse needs of different cucumber planting densities and growth stages for support space.

[0034] In addition, the outer diameter of the handle 32 is larger than the diameter of the through hole in the perforated plate 2. Multiple sets of climbing side bars 30 are fixedly installed on the climbing vertical bar 3, so that after the threaded sleeve 33 is inserted and matched with the perforated plate 2, the handle 32 can be stably pressed against the upper surface of the perforated plate 2 to prevent the threaded sleeve 33 from falling off. The climbing side bars 30 provide more climbing support points for cucumber vines. Compared with the support without side bars, it effectively guides the cucumber vines to grow in an orderly manner and improves the space utilization rate.

[0035] It is worth noting that multiple sets of climbing side poles 30 are set along the height direction of the climbing vertical pole 3, with 4 to 8 climbing side poles 30 in each set. This ensures that the cucumber vines have suitable climbing positions at different heights, guaranteeing even distribution of the vines and avoiding overcrowding or chaotic growth due to unreasonable climbing points, thus creating favorable conditions for cucumber growth.

[0036] It is worth noting that the distance between the upper and lower sets of climbing side poles 30 is between 10cm and 20cm, and the length of the climbing side poles 30 is between 5cm and 8cm. This makes the spacing and length of the climbing side poles 30 scientific and reasonable, which not only ensures that the cucumber vines have enough room to extend, but also provides effective support, optimizes ventilation and light conditions, reduces the chance of pests and diseases, and improves the quality of cucumber fruits.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a tapered insert 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical support rod 1. The tapered insert 10 is conical, which allows the support to be easily inserted into the soil. Compared with ordinary rods, it enhances the fixing effect of the support, improves the stability of the support in the soil, and effectively prevents the support from tilting or collapsing.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a foot-operated force plate 11 is also fixedly installed on the bottom end of the vertical support rod 1. The foot-operated force plate 11 is used for pressing down with the sole of the foot, so that when the operator inserts the support into the soil, he can press down with the sole of his foot on the foot-operated force plate 11 to fix the vertical support rod 1 in place more easily and conveniently, reducing the difficulty of manual operation and improving the efficiency of support installation.

[0039] When using the modular three-dimensional support for climbing cucumbers of this utility model, first align the tapered insertion rod 10 at the bottom of the vertical support rod 1 with the planting area, press down on the force plate 11 with the ball of your foot to firmly insert it into the soil, and according to the spacing and layout of the cucumber planting, put the mesh plate 2 on the four adjacent screws 13, and use the knob 15 to rotate the pressing plate 14 to firmly fix the mesh plate 2 on the top support plate 12.

[0040] Next, observe the position of the climbing cucumber, insert the threaded sleeve 33 into the corresponding through hole in the mesh plate 2. Since the outer diameter of the handle 32 is larger than the diameter of the through hole, the threaded sleeve 33 can be prevented from falling off. Then, thread the stud 31 at the top of the climbing vertical rod 3 from the bottom of the mesh plate 2 to the threaded sleeve 33. Adjust the position of the climbing vertical rod 3 flexibly according to the growth needs of the vine.

[0041] After installation, the cucumber vines can grow orderly along the multiple sets of reasonably spaced climbing side bars 30 on the vertical climbing pole 3.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
