Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea tree planting technology, specifically to a foldable tea tree shade shed. Background Technology

[0002] In tea cultivation, light intensity is a key environmental factor affecting tea quality. Especially in summer or at high altitudes with strong sunlight, excessive ultraviolet radiation accelerates leaf aging, leading to problems such as coarse, hard leaves and leaf scorching, significantly reducing the tenderness of fresh leaves and the economic value of finished tea. Traditional methods for controlling light intensity typically involve passive shading measures such as shade nets or intercropping with trees.

[0003] However, current sunshade systems still have the following shortcomings during operation:

[0004] 1. The current installation of shade nets relies on external support components, such as bamboo poles and metal brackets, for fixation. Because the shade nets themselves lack an integrated front and rear support structure, the installation efficiency is low and the adaptability is insufficient, making it difficult to match the needs of tea gardens with different terrains or plant heights.

[0005] 2. Most existing sunshades are independent units, and there is a lack of linkage and reinforcement mechanism between the units. In windy weather, the shade net is prone to displacement or even falling off due to uneven local stress, requiring frequent manual maintenance and increasing management costs. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] To address the technical problems in the background section, a foldable tea tree shade structure is provided as follows:

[0029] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, the present invention provides a foldable tea tree shade canopy, including a mounting shell 1, an extended shade unit 5 that is rolled up inside the mounting shell 1, a connecting unit 2 that is fixed to one side of the mounting shell 1, a storage cavity 11 that is provided at the bottom of the mounting shell 1, two sets of first support units 3 that are connected and installed inside the storage cavity 11, and two sets of second support units 4 that are connected and installed at the ends of the shade unit 5.

[0030] In the above scheme:

[0031] By setting support units at both ends of the shading unit 5, it can not only ensure its own extension to cover the tea trees, but also support and position the shading parts, and fold and store them when not in operation, ensuring stability during shading and avoiding external erection or binding positioning structure.

[0032] The sunshade unit 5 uses its own connectors to allow each group of sunshade units to be connected to form a regional sunshade surface, which not only meets the sunshade needs but also facilitates personnel to recycle it.

[0033] The connection unit 2 enables the sunshade canopies to be connected and combined, allowing them to work together during operation. This not only strengthens the connection between the structures but also prevents them from being easily blown apart in strong winds.

[0034] The connecting unit 2 includes a square sleeve plate 21. The square sleeve plate 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting shell 1. Two sets of extended mating plates 24 are installed inside the square sleeve plate 21.

[0035] The shading unit 5 includes a strip cover 51, a shading net 52, and a connecting strap 53. The shading net 52 is rolled up inside the mounting shell 1. The end of the shading net 52 extends out of the mounting shell 1. The end of the shading net 52 is fixed to the strip cover 51. The connecting straps 53 are evenly distributed along the edge of the shading net 52. The second support unit 4 is installed inside the strip cover 51.

[0036] During daily operations:

[0037] When the sunshade is in operation, the first support unit 3 and the second support unit 4 are deployed downwards. Personnel can pull the connecting plate 24 inside the square sleeve 21 to make the connecting plates 24 between each group of sunshades connect. Personnel can then use the components to complete the fixed connection between the two, making the main structure of the sunshade interconnected and increasing the stability during support. The mounting shell 1 is inserted and supported by the first support unit 3. Then, personnel pull the shade net 52 through the strip cover 51 to make the shade net 52 cover the tea leaves. The shade net 52 is then positioned by the first support unit 3. After the shade net 52 covers the tea leaves, personnel use the connecting strap 53 to connect the connecting straps 53 on the other group of shade nets 52.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0040] In this embodiment, a winding rod 54 is installed inside the mounting shell 1, and the shade net 52 is wound up on the winding rod 54. One end of the winding rod 54 is provided with a limit port, and a limit knob 12 connected to the limit port is connected to one side of the mounting shell 1.

[0041] During this period, the shade net 52 is rolled up and released by the winding rod 54;

[0042] After the shade net 52 is released, in order to ensure that the winding rod 54 will not rotate, the operator can connect the limit knob 12 to the limit port. The limit knob 12 and the limit port are connected by threads. The limit knob 12 extends into the limit port and squeezes and rubs against the side wall of the mounting shell 1 to limit the winding rod 54.

[0043] In this embodiment, a guide opening 211 is provided on the side of the square sleeve plate 21, and a stud 22 that passes through the guide opening 211 is fixedly connected to the mating plate 24, and a fastening knob 23 for positioning is fitted on the stud 22.

[0044] During this process, when the docking plate 24 extends outward, it will drive the stud 22 on it to move synchronously. The stud 22 will move within the guide port 211. When the docking plate 24 reaches the moving point, the operator can rotate the fastening knob 23 on the stud 22. As the fastening knob 23 moves forward, it forms a friction fastening with the surface of the square sleeve plate 21, achieving the positioning effect.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0047] In this embodiment, the second support unit 4 includes a telescopic rod 41, a positioning foot 42, and a movable component 43. Two sets of movable components 43 are installed inside the storage cavity 11. The telescopic rod 41 is movably installed in the storage cavity 11 through the movable component 43. A plug-in interface 411 is provided at the bottom of one side of the telescopic rod 41. The positioning foot 42 extending from the bottom of the telescopic rod 41 is connected to the plug-in interface 411.

[0048] During this process, the personnel will use the movable part 43 to move the telescopic rod 41 in the storage cavity 11, and adjust the height of the telescopic rod 41 according to the actual support height requirements. After completion, it can be positioned by the positioning part on the telescopic rod 41.

[0049] Before positioning, it is necessary to ensure that the positioning foot 2 42 is inserted through the insertion interface 2 411 into the soil, so as to ensure that the support length is determined.

[0050] The movable component 243 consists of a fixed base and a movable joint, which are connected by a movable pin. It is also a commonly used movable hub nowadays.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first support unit 3 includes a telescopic rod 31, a positioning foot 32, and a movable component 33. Two sets of movable components 33 are installed inside the strip cover 51. The telescopic rod 31 is movably installed on the strip cover 51 through the movable component 33. A plug-in interface 311 is provided at the bottom of one side of the telescopic rod 31. The positioning foot 32 extending from the bottom of the telescopic rod 31 is connected to the plug-in interface 311.

[0052] During this process, personnel pull the shade net 52 through the strip cover 51 to make the shade net 52 cover the tea leaves. Then, by using the telescopic pole 31, it is necessary to first ensure that the positioning foot 42 is inserted into the ground through the insertion interface 411. After that, the positioning can be achieved by using the positioning component on the telescopic pole 31.

[0053] The first and second support units have the same structure and principle, the difference being in their dimensions.

[0054] In this embodiment, a connector 25 is fixedly installed at the end of the mating plate 24, and the mating plate 24 and the connector 25 form a right angle. The connector 25 is provided with mounting holes.

[0055] During this process, personnel can pull the mating plate 24 inside the square sleeve plate 21 to make the joints 25 on the mating plates 24 between each set of sunshades align, and ensure that the mounting holes on the joints 25 correspond to each other. Personnel can then complete the fixed connection between the two using the components.
