Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of passion fruit cultivation technology, and in particular to a passion fruit planting rack that is easy to operate. Background Technology

[0002] Passion fruit is a common fruit in tropical and subtropical regions. It is typically round or oval in shape, with a smooth, green or purple skin. When ripe, it has a rich aroma and unique flavor. The flesh is juicy and contains many black seeds; its taste is sweet and sour, very fragrant, and widely loved. A passion fruit trellis is a structural device used to support the growth of passion fruit vines, helping the plant climb, stay in place, and be managed. Because passion fruit is a vine, it needs a trellis to climb and grow fully, improving ventilation and light penetration, and facilitating management and harvesting.

[0003] Most common passion fruit trellises consist of metal poles, wooden pillars, or plastic pipes vertically fixed to the ground or support frame, with horizontal bars or beams installed on top to guide the vines' climb. While these designs facilitate vine growth and growth, some trellises are not easily adjustable in height, making it difficult to meet the varying needs of different varieties and growth heights. Furthermore, the trellises have limited wind resistance, making them prone to swaying or even collapsing in windy conditions, thus affecting the safe growth of the plants.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a passion fruit planting rack that is easy to operate in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a simple-to-operate passion fruit planting frame. By pulling the second horizontal bar outwards, the U-shaped ring disengages from the lower U-shaped groove in the middle of the frame. After rotation and adjustment, it re-engages into the upper U-shaped groove in the middle of the frame, thus flexibly adjusting the height of the planting frame to meet the needs of different varieties and growth heights. The frame is easy to operate and stable. Simultaneously, two anchor rods are pre-buried in the field, with the anchor heads hooked into the soil, effectively enhancing wind resistance and ensuring stable support for the passion fruit vines even in strong winds, providing a safe growing environment for the plants.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a passion fruit planting rack that is easy to operate, including an adjustment mechanism, wherein a fixing mechanism is provided on both sides of the lower end of the adjustment mechanism;

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes two supports, a first crossbar, two rotating plates, and a second crossbar. The first crossbar is fixedly mounted on the middle of one side of each of the two supports. One end of each of the two rotating plates is movably fitted onto the sides of the first crossbar near the edge, and the other end of each of the two rotating plates is movably fitted onto the sides of the second crossbar near the edge. U-shaped rings are fixedly mounted on both sides of the second crossbar, and a hole is opened on one side of each of the two U-shaped rings. U-shaped grooves are opened at the upper and lower ends of the middle of each of the two supports.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the four U-shaped grooves has a second hole on one side, and the shapes of the four second holes and the two first holes match each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the two fixing mechanisms include two bottom piles, each bottom pile having an anchor rod fixedly installed at its lower end, and each anchor rod having four anchor heads fixedly installed at its lower end.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the eight anchor heads has a fixing rod fixedly installed on its inner sidewall, and the eight fixing rods are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two anchor rods in groups of four.

[0011] Furthermore, support seats are fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the front and rear ends of the two bottom piles, and anti-slip cone pads are fixedly installed at the lower ends of the four support seats.

[0012] Furthermore, the two supports are respectively fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two bottom piles.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model proposes a simple-to-operate passion fruit planting rack. The rack adjusts the height by pulling the second horizontal bar outwards to disengage the U-shaped ring from the U-shaped groove. Then, using a rotating plate as a support point, the second horizontal bar is pushed upwards. Next, the angle of the U-shaped ring is adjusted by rotating the second horizontal bar to align it with the U-shaped groove of the rack. The U-shaped ring is then inserted into the U-shaped groove to complete the height adjustment. Finally, bolts are passed through holes one and two to fix the U-shaped ring and the U-shaped groove together, ensuring the stability of the adjusted second horizontal bar. Compared to existing planting racks, this rack allows for flexible height adjustment to meet the needs of different varieties and growth heights.

[0015] 2. This utility model proposes a simple-to-operate passion fruit planting frame. The planting frame is constructed by pre-drilling two deep holes in the field, inserting two anchor rods into the two deep holes respectively, filling in the soil, and compacting it. The anchor heads on the anchor rods will tightly hook into the soil, thus firmly fixing the entire planting frame in the field. The anchor rods and anchor heads enhance the wind resistance of the planting frame, ensuring that the planting frame remains stable even in strong winds, providing a safe growing environment for the plants.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6This utility model provides an embodiment of a passion fruit planting rack that is easy to operate, comprising an adjustment mechanism 1. The adjustment mechanism 1 is characterized by having fixing mechanisms 2 on both sides of its lower end. The adjustment mechanism 1 includes two supports 101, a first crossbar 102, two rotating plates 103, and a second crossbar 104. The first crossbar 102 is fixedly mounted on the middle of one side of each of the two supports 101. One end of each of the two rotating plates 103 is movably fitted onto the sides of the first crossbar 102 near its edge, and the other end of each of the two rotating plates 103 is movably fitted onto the sides of the second crossbar 104 near its edge. U-shaped rings 105 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the second crossbar 104. Holes 106 are opened on one side of each of the two U-shaped rings 105. U-shaped grooves 107 are opened at the upper and lower ends of the middle of each of the two supports 101. Holes 108 are opened on one side of each of the four U-shaped grooves 107. The shapes of the four holes 108 and the two holes 106 match each other.

[0026] Specifically, when the user needs to adjust the planting rack back to its original height, first unscrew the bolts from holes 106 and 108 to release the fixation between the U-shaped ring 105 and the U-shaped groove 107. Then, pull the second crossbar 104 outward, and then push the second crossbar 104 downward while rotating it so that the U-shaped rings 105 on both sides are aligned with the U-shaped grooves 107 at the lower middle part of the two supports 101. Next, push the second crossbar 104 to insert the two U-shaped rings 105 into the two U-shaped grooves 107 respectively. Finally, fix the U-shaped rings 105 and the U-shaped grooves 107 together by passing the bolts through holes 106 and 108. The planting frame is adjusted back to its original height. In addition, holes 106 and 108 are both internally threaded holes, and bolts can be used to fix the U-shaped ring 105 and U-shaped groove 107 through holes 106 and 108. The bolts are made of stainless steel and are equipped with anti-loosening nuts. Secondly, since passion fruit vines will grow along the horizontal bars on the planting frame, when the number of passion fruit vines and leaves grows large, their weight may bend the horizontal bars. Therefore, the first horizontal bar 102 and the second horizontal bar 104 are made of galvanized steel pipes to improve the overall load-bearing capacity of the horizontal bars. All metal parts except the first horizontal bar 102 and the second horizontal bar 104 are made of hot-dip galvanized steel to balance strength, corrosion resistance and cost.

[0027] Reference Figures 4-6The two fixed mechanisms 2 include two bottom piles 201, and anchor rods 202 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of the two bottom piles 201. Four anchor heads 203 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of the anchor rods 202. Fixing rods 204 are fixedly installed on the inner side walls of the eight anchor heads 203. The eight fixing rods 204 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the anchor rods 202 in groups of four. Support seats 205 are fixedly installed at the lower middle of the front and rear ends of the two bottom piles 201. Anti-slip cone pads 206 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of the four support seats 205. Two brackets 101 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two bottom piles 201 respectively.

[0028] Specifically, before placing the planting frame, the user needs to dig two deep holes in the field. The depth of these two holes must be consistent with the length of the two anchor rods 202, and the interval between the two holes must be consistent with the interval between the two anchor rods 202. Next, the user inserts the two anchor rods 202 into the deep holes. The lower ends of the two anchor rods 202 are conical, allowing them to penetrate deeply into the soil within the holes. The holes are then covered with soil and compacted. In windy weather, the anchor heads 203 on the anchor rods 202 act like barbs, tightly hooking into the soil and securing the planting frame. Between the anchor rods 202 and the anchor heads 203... The connecting fixing rod 204 serves to fix the anchor head 203, preventing the anchor head 203 from deforming due to single-point support. In addition, the support base 205 fixedly installed at the lower middle of the front and rear ends of the two bottom piles 201 provides additional front and rear support for the bottom piles 201, preventing the planting frame from swaying slightly in windy weather, which could cause the soil around the anchor rod 202 to loosen under the pressure of the swaying, thus affecting the fixation of the anchor rod 202. Secondly, the anti-slip cone pad 206 installed at the lower end of the support base 205 has several four-sided cone designs on it, which are easy to penetrate into the soil. This design provides additional grip for the support base 205.

[0029] Working principle: When placing the planting frame, the user needs to drill two deep holes in the field in advance. The depth of the two deep holes is the same as the length of the two anchor rods 202. Then, place the two anchor rods 202 into the two deep holes respectively. Next, fill the deep holes with soil so that the soil completely covers and wraps the anchor rods 202. Then, compact the soil. The anchor head 203 on the anchor rod 202 will hook the soil, thereby firmly fixing the planting frame to the field.

[0030] Secondly, when the user needs to adjust the height of the planting rack, grasp the second crossbar 104 and pull it outwards so that the U-shaped rings 105 on both sides of the second crossbar 104 disengage from the U-shaped grooves 107 opened at the lower middle part of the two supports 101. Then push it upwards. The second crossbar 104 is supported by two rotating plates 103. The two rotating plates 103 rotate upwards with the two sides of the first crossbar 102 near the edge as fulcrums. Then rotate the second crossbar 104 to adjust the orientation angle of the U-shaped rings 105 on both sides so that they are consistent with the direction of the U-shaped grooves 107 opened at the upper middle part of the two supports 101. Then insert the two U-shaped rings 105 into the two U-shaped grooves 107 respectively, thereby completing the adjustment of the height of the planting rack. In addition, the user can fix the U-shaped rings 105 and the U-shaped grooves 107 together by bolting through the first hole 106 and the second hole 108, thus completing the fixation of the adjusted height of the second crossbar 104.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
