Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grapevine support frames, specifically an adjustable support frame for grapevine growth. Background Technology

[0002] The construction of a support system for grapevines requires comprehensive consideration of materials, structure, and environmental factors. Commonly used materials include preservative-treated wood, galvanized steel pipes, or cement pillars. The main types of trellises are fences and pergolas. During construction, the supports need to be deeply buried, and layered wires should be installed to ensure the crossbeams are stable. For garden designs, round steel pipe frames or imitation wood materials can be used, balancing aesthetics and functionality. Care should be taken to avoid the wires directly damaging the vines, and the stability of the support should be checked and the traction adjusted regularly.

[0003] With the current boom in garden and courtyard economy, planting operations are carried out in gardens and courtyards. However, there is a problem with grapevine support frames: specifically, current support frame structures lack effective rain protection, making the grape growing environment highly susceptible to damage from rain, leading to impaired growth and fruit production. Existing rain protection structures are all made of tarpaulins or glass panels, which are difficult to adapt to the small support frame structures of small courtyards and gardens. Therefore, the inventor urgently needs to design a grapevine support frame structure with modular assembly of rain protection components to improve the ease of use and practicality of grapevine support frames for courtyards. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable support frame for grapevine growth to solve the technical problem of poor rain protection in grapevine support frames for small courtyards and gardens.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable support frame for grapevine growth, comprising a support frame body, side rain shields modularly installed on both sides of the support frame body, and a top rain shield modularly installed on the top of the support frame body. The upper inner side of the side rain shields is rotatably connected to the support frame body via a rotating mechanism and is detachably installed. The lower inner side of the side rain shields is detachably installed to the support frame body via a support adjustment mechanism. The support adjustment mechanism has two, but not limited to, two length specifications, for adjusting the installation angle of the side rain shields relative to the support frame body.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the modularly installed side and top rain shields provide all-round rain protection for the grapevines. The side rain shields are connected to the main body of the support frame through a rotating mechanism and a support adjustment mechanism, allowing users to flexibly adjust the unfolding angle of the rain shields according to the actual rainfall conditions. This effectively prevents rainwater from washing away the vines and avoids the cumbersome problem of traditional fixed rain shield structures.

[0007] Furthermore, the top rain shield is used to cover the top gap between the two side rain shields, and the top rain shield is detachably connected to the main body of the support frame by means of a fastener.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the top rain shield is detachably connected to the main body of the support frame through the installation buckle, which simplifies the assembly process of the top rain shield structure. Users can quickly complete the installation or disassembly without complicated tools, making it easy to remove the top rain shield during the non-rainy season to optimize light transmission. At the same time, the top rain shield accurately covers the top gap between the two side rain shields to form a continuous rainproof surface, preventing rainwater from seeping in from the top. Its modular nature also allows for the individual replacement of damaged parts, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body of the support frame has an overall A-shaped structure, which is assembled from several plastic-coated steel pipes through spring fasteners and corner connectors.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the support frame adopts a herringbone structure. Through the combination and assembly of plastic-coated steel pipes, spring fasteners, and corner connectors, the stability and wind resistance of the overall structure are greatly improved. The inclined surface of the herringbone frame naturally guides rainwater to slide off, reducing the risk of water accumulation corroding the support.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a first clamp, one side of which is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, the other end of which is fixedly connected to a side rain shield, and the first clamp is fastened to the main body of the support frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the side rain shield is given a free rotation function. Users can manually adjust the opening angle of the side rain shield according to the growth height of the grapevines or the intensity of rainfall. This can achieve precise rain protection and coverage, and can also be fully opened on sunny days to increase ventilation and light transmission.

[0013] Furthermore, there is a gap between the side rain shield and the main body of the support frame for the growth of grapevines.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, ample space is provided for the vines to climb naturally, avoiding physical damage caused by direct contact between the rain shield and the plant. It allows for free air circulation, reduces the risk of fungal diseases in high humidity environments, and increases the probability of healthy grape growth. At the same time, the gaps facilitate daily management operations such as manual pruning and tying of vines. Users can complete maintenance without frequently disassembling the rain shield, which significantly improves planting management efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, the support adjustment mechanism includes a second clamp, which is fastened to the main body of the support frame, and an installation block is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side rain shield at a position opposite to the second clamp.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable connection between the side rain shield and the main support frame is achieved, which can meet the height adjustment needs of vines at different growth stages.

[0017] Furthermore, both the second clamp and the mounting block are fixedly provided with plug rods, and support rods are inserted into the plug rods. The support rods and plug rods are rotatably connected. The plug rods are provided with pin holes, which cooperate with the pin shaft to limit the position of the support rods.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotatable connection between the plug rod and the support rod, combined with the locking mechanism of the pin hole and the pin shaft, provides a precise control means for the angle adjustment of the side rain shield. Users can select and replace support rods of different lengths to achieve multi-level adjustment of the tilt angle of the rain shield, accurately adapting to changes in rainfall direction or light intensity.

[0019] Furthermore, both the side and top rain shields are transparent rigid board structures.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, most natural light can be allowed to pass through while blocking rainwater, ensuring the photosynthetic efficiency of grapevines. The transparent material avoids the artificial blocking of sunlight by traditional opaque rainproof materials, making it especially suitable for courtyard environments with limited sunlight. At the same time, the impact resistance and weather resistance of rigid boards are significantly better than plastic tarpaulins or fiberglass boards, and can withstand damage from extreme weather such as hail and strong winds, extending the service life of the rainproof structure.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0022] This utility model solves the problem of traditional support frames lacking effective rain protection function by using modularly designed side and top rain shields. The herringbone structure of the main body of the support frame is assembled from plastic-coated steel pipes, combined with spring fasteners and corner connectors, which improves the overall stability and wind resistance. The side rain shields are hinged to the main body of the support frame through a rotating mechanism, which can be manually adjusted in angle. This not only blocks rainwater from washing away but also avoids blocking sunlight. At the same time, the support adjustment mechanism provides multi-level angle locking through the cooperation of plug rods and pin holes to adapt to different rainfall conditions or vine growth needs.

[0023] This invention balances rain protection and light transmission through the use of transparent rigid board material, ensuring the photosynthetic efficiency of grapevines. The gap between the side rain shield and the main support frame allows air circulation, reducing the risk of diseases caused by high humidity and reserving space for vine climbing. The top rain shield is quickly fixed with installation buckles, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process and facilitating removal during the non-rainy season to optimize lighting. Damaged parts can be replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the overall structure does not rely on electricity, making it suitable for small courtyard settings.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] An adjustable support frame for grapevine growth, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the system includes a support frame body 1. Side rain shields 2 are modularly installed on both sides of the support frame body 1, and a top rain shield 3 is modularly installed on the top of the support frame body 1. The upper inner side of the side rain shields 2 is rotatably connected to the support frame body 1 via a rotating mechanism 4 and is detachable. The lower inner side of the side rain shields 2 is detachably installed to the support frame body 1 via a support adjustment mechanism 5. The support adjustment mechanism 5 has two, but not limited to, two length specifications, and is used to adjust the installation angle of the side rain shields 2 relative to the support frame body 1. The modularly installed side rain shields 2 and top rain shield 3... The rain shield 3 provides all-around rain protection for the grapevines from the main support frame 1. The side rain shield 2 is connected to the main support frame 1 through the rotating mechanism 4 and the support adjustment mechanism 5, allowing users to flexibly adjust the unfolding angle of the rain shield according to the actual rainfall conditions. This effectively prevents rainwater from washing away the vines and avoids the bulkiness of traditional fixed rain shield structures. At the same time, the support adjustment mechanism 5 provides a variety of length options, further enhancing the compatibility of angle adjustment and making it suitable for different climate conditions or grape varieties, significantly improving the adaptability of backyard grape cultivation.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The top rain shield 3 is used to cover the top gap between the two side rain shields 2. The top rain shield 3 is detachably connected to the support frame body 1 by the installation buckle 6. The detachable connection between the top rain shield 3 and the support frame body 1 by the installation buckle 6 simplifies the assembly process of the top rain shield structure. Users can quickly complete the installation or removal without complicated tools. It is convenient to remove the top rain shield 3 in the non-rainy season to optimize light transmission conditions. At the same time, the top rain shield 3 accurately covers the top gap between the two side rain shields 2 to form a continuous rainproof surface, preventing rainwater from seeping in from the top. Its modularity allows for the individual replacement of damaged parts, significantly reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the synergistic effect of the top rain shield 3 and the side rain shields 2 ensures that the grapevines can still get sufficient diffused light in the rainy season, balancing the needs of rain protection and photosynthesis.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The main body of the support frame 1 has an overall A-frame structure, which is assembled from several plastic-coated steel pipes through spring fasteners and corner connectors. The A-frame structure of the main body of the support frame 1, through the combination of plastic-coated steel pipes, spring fasteners, and corner connectors, greatly improves the stability and wind resistance of the overall structure. The inclined surface of the A-frame naturally guides rainwater to slide off, reducing the risk of water accumulation and corrosion of the support. At the same time, the plastic-coated steel pipes are lightweight and weather-resistant, and can adapt to the long-term outdoor sun and rain environment, avoiding the defects of traditional wooden supports that are prone to rot or metal supports that are prone to rust. The modular assembly method also allows the main body of the support frame 1 to be quickly disassembled or expanded, meeting the flexible adjustment needs of the courtyard space layout, and is especially suitable for small planting areas with complex terrain.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The rotating mechanism 4 includes a first clamp 401, with a connecting rod 402 rotatably connected to one side of the first clamp 401. The other end of the connecting rod 402 is fixedly connected to the side rain shield 2. The first clamp 401 is fastened to the support frame body 1, giving the side rain shield 2 the function of free rotation. Users can manually adjust the opening angle of the side rain shield 2 according to the growth height of the grapevines or the rainfall intensity, which can achieve precise rain protection and can be fully unfolded on sunny days to increase ventilation and light transmission. At the same time, the fastened connection between the first clamp 401 and the support frame body 1 ensures the stability of the rotating mechanism and avoids the rain shield from being accidentally displaced by strong winds. While simplifying the operation, it retains the protective effect of the traditional fixed rain shield structure and does not rely on an electric drive device, reducing the cost of use and the risk of failure.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2There is a gap between the side rain shield 2 and the main support frame 1, which provides ample space for the vines to grow naturally, avoids physical damage caused by direct contact between the rain shield and the plant, allows free air circulation, reduces the risk of fungal diseases in high humidity environments, and increases the probability of healthy grape growth. At the same time, the gap also facilitates daily management operations such as manual pruning and vine tying. Users can complete maintenance without frequently disassembling the rain shield, which significantly improves planting management efficiency. In addition, the structure takes into account both protective function and eco-friendliness, ensuring that the grapevines maintain their natural growth form while being sheltered from rain.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 The support adjustment mechanism 5 includes a second clamp 501, which is fastened to the support frame body 1. An installation block 502 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side rain shield 2, opposite to the position of the second clamp 501. This achieves a stable connection between the side rain shield 2 and the support frame body 1, adapting to the height adjustment needs of vines at different growth stages. At the same time, the installation block 502 is fixed on the inner side of the side rain shield 2, forming a bidirectional force support point with the second clamp 501, effectively dispersing the impact of wind and rain loads on the connection part, enhancing the overall structural durability, and flexibly matching the personalized configuration of various courtyard scenes.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 Both the second clamp 501 and the mounting block 502 are fixedly equipped with plug rods 503, and support rods 504 are plugged into the plug rods 503. The support rods 504 and plug rods 503 are rotatably connected. The plug rods 503 have pin holes 505, which, together with the pin shaft, limit the position of the support rods 504. The rotatable connection between the plug rods 503 and the support rods 504, combined with the locking mechanism of the pin holes 505 and the pin shaft, provides a precise control means for adjusting the angle of the side rain shield 2. Users can select and replace support rods 504 of different lengths to achieve multi-level adjustment of the tilt angle of the rain shield, accurately adapting to changes in rainfall direction or light intensity. At the same time, the pin shaft locking mechanism ensures that the adjusted angle is fixed and reliable, preventing the support rods 504 from accidentally dislodging due to external forces.

[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2Both the side rain shield 2 and the top rain shield 3 are transparent rigid board structures, which block rainwater while allowing most of the natural light to pass through, ensuring the photosynthetic efficiency of the grapevines. The transparent material avoids the artificial blocking of light by traditional opaque rain shield materials, making it especially suitable for courtyard environments with limited sunlight. At the same time, the impact resistance and weather resistance of rigid boards are significantly better than plastic tarpaulins or fiberglass boards, and can withstand damage from extreme weather such as hail and strong winds, extending the service life of the rain shield structure. In addition, the transparent surface is easy to clean and maintain, and users can quickly remove accumulated dust or water stains to maintain the light transmission performance of the rain shield and reduce the problem of decreased light transmittance caused by dirt accumulation.

[0039] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The herringbone frame of the support frame body 1 is assembled into shape using spring fasteners and corner connectors, with modular installation interfaces reserved on both sides; then, the side rain shield 2 is hinged to the support frame body 1 through the upper connection point of the rotating mechanism 4, wherein the rotating mechanism 4 realizes the rotational freedom of the side rain shield 2; next, a support adjustment mechanism 5 is installed at the lower part of the support frame body 1, and through the cooperation of the plug rod 503 and the pin hole 505, support rods 504 of different lengths are selected and connected to the mounting block 502 of the side rain shield 2, thereby adjusting the unfolding angle of the side rain shield 2; after the adjustment of both sides is completed, the top rain shield 3 is fastened at the top gap and quickly fixed to the crossbeam of the support frame body 1 through the installation buckle 6. In the entire structure, a gap for vine growth is maintained between the side rain shield 2 and the support frame body 1, and the transparent hard plate ensures light transmission while blocking rain. The modular design allows for individual disassembly and replacement of damaged parts.
