Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a support mechanism, specifically a support mechanism for climbing vines, and belongs to the field of plant cultivation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Climbing crops or vine-like legumes, such as ornamental gourds, cowpeas, and green beans, require trellising when their internodes begin to elongate significantly after they have 3-4 leaves. The most common cultivation trellis is the A-frame trellis. This trellis is primarily constructed using bamboo or wooden poles, forming an A-shape. It's then secured by horizontal bracing at the intersections of the A-frames. Each frame corresponds to one hole for a climbing bean, and the two corresponding holes on the bed are tied in an A-shape. However, this method has several drawbacks: First, it requires a large number of bamboo poles and manual labor for tying the trellis, resulting in high labor intensity and costs, as well as material consumption. Second, in the later stages of plant growth, the dense growth of the climbing beans and the compact space within the A-frame lead to poor ventilation and insufficient light, ultimately causing frequent pests and diseases and reduced photosynthetic products. Third, during routine management, such as spraying pesticides, the numerous branches and leaves make it difficult to spray onto the leaves inside the A-frame, posing a risk of pests and diseases. Harvesting the pods inside the A-frame is also difficult during the harvest season, resulting in low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[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] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a climbing support mechanism for vines includes a base 1, on which a plurality of first guide grooves 11 are provided, and each first guide groove 11 is connected to a first recess 12 at one end near the center of the base 1.

[0032] One end of the side wall of the base 1 is connected to the cover 2. The cover 2 is connected to the base 1 by a hinge 13. The cover 2 is adapted to the base 1. On the side of the cover 2 opposite to the base 1, there are a number of second guide grooves 21 corresponding to the first guide groove 11. Each second guide groove 21 is connected to a second recess 22 corresponding to the first recess 12 at one end near the center of the cover 2.

[0033] A locking assembly is provided at the end of the base 1 and the cover 2 away from the hinge 13. A protrusion 14 is provided on the side wall of the base 1 away from the hinge 13, and a buckle 23 is provided on the side wall of the cover 2 away from the hinge 13. The buckle 23 is provided with a groove that matches the protrusion 14. The protrusion 14 is engaged in the groove of the buckle 23 to lock the closed base 1 and cover 2.

[0034] When the base 1 and the cover 2 are closed, each first guide groove 11 and the corresponding second guide groove 21 form a cylindrical connecting rod chamber, and each first recess 12 and the corresponding second recess 22 form a spherical ball head chamber. The diameter of the ball head chamber is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod chamber. Each connecting rod chamber and the ball head chamber are connected to form a receiving chamber.

[0035] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the support poles, the climbing vine support mechanism also includes several retaining rings 3. Each retaining ring 3 includes an inner retaining ring 31 and an outer retaining ring 32. Both the inner retaining ring 31 and the outer retaining ring 32 are semi-circular. One end of the semi-circular inner retaining ring 31 is hinged to the outer retaining ring 32. The other ends of the inner retaining ring 31 and the outer retaining ring 32 are connected by a locking assembly. When the inner retaining ring 31 and the outer retaining ring 32 are locked together, a circular retaining ring 3 is formed. The retaining ring 3 is used to hold the support poles together.

[0036] When it is necessary to fix the support rod, rotate the outer retaining ring 32 to lock the locking assembly. At this time, the retaining ring 3 is locked and fixed on the support rod. When it is necessary to disassemble the support rod, open the locking assembly to remove the climbing plant support mechanism from the support rod.

[0037] A connecting rod 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner retaining ring 31, and a ball head 34 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 33 away from the inner retaining ring 31; the connecting rod 33 can be placed in the connecting rod cavity and the size of the connecting rod cavity is adapted to the connecting rod 33, and the ball head 34 can be placed in the ball head cavity and the size of the ball head 34 is adapted to the ball head 34, and the diameter of the ball head 34 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 33;

[0038] When the retaining ring 3 is assembled with the base 1 and the cover 2, the base 1 and the cover 2 are closed, the ball head 34 is engaged in the ball head cavity, and the connecting rod 33 is rotatably set in the connecting rod cavity. At this time, the retaining ring 3 can rotate relative to the base 1 and the cover 2, which is beneficial to adjust the angle of the support rod to adapt to different support rod height and angle requirements.

[0039] When at least two retaining rings 3 are assembled with the base 1 and the cover 2, and the inner retaining ring 31 and the outer retaining ring 32 are locked, the support rods that are engaged in the two retaining rings 3 are relatively fixed. When the bottom of at least two support rods is fixed to the ground, the entire support forms a triangular stable structure.

[0040] Compared with existing technologies that require extensive wiring to support the support poles, the climbing vine support mechanism provided by this utility model is simple to operate, has a sturdy structure, and its multi-modal design facilitates assembly and disassembly, reducing labor intensity and labor costs; at the same time, the unified fixing method makes the climbing vine support more aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Improvements based on Example 1:

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the connecting rod chamber is conical. When the base 1 and the cover 2 are closed, the connecting rod 33 can be adjusted at an angle within the connecting rod chamber, allowing the retaining ring 3 to be tilted at a small angle relative to the base 1 and the cover 2. When it is necessary to change the light surface of the climbing support or spray pesticides on the internal leaves, the light switch can be completed by finely adjusting the angle of the connecting rod 33 or unlocking the locking assembly and rotating the support rod, so that the climbing plant receives more light and the pesticide spraying effect is better.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Improvements based on Example 1:

[0046] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some cases, crossbars need to be connected between multiple supports. In order to facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the crossbars and supports, the retaining ring 3 also includes a crossbar retaining ring 35. The crossbar retaining ring 35 is provided on the side of the cover 2 away from the base 1. The crossbar retaining ring 35 is used to engage the crossbars.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to adapt to various crossbars and accommodate different angles of the crossbars, and to allow the crossbar retaining ring 35 to rotate, a rotating rod 36 is connected to the cover 2. The other end of the rotating rod 36 is connected to the crossbar retaining ring 35. A rotating groove 361 is provided on the end of the rotating rod 36 away from the cover 2. A retaining hole 351 that matches the rotating groove 361 is provided on the crossbar retaining ring 35. The rotating rod 36 passes through the retaining hole 351, and the retaining hole 351 is engaged in the rotating groove 361, so that the rotating rod 36 and the crossbar retaining ring 35 are rotatably connected.

[0048] Furthermore, to facilitate the disassembly of the rotating rod 36, the cover 2 is threadedly connected to the rotating rod 36, and the cover 2 is provided with an internal thread groove 24. The end of the rotating rod 36 near the cover 2 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread groove 24.

[0049] To prevent the retaining ring 3 from slipping off the support rod and causing it to tilt and collapse, anti-slip pads 37 are provided on the inner walls of the inner retaining ring 31, outer retaining ring 32, and crossbar retaining ring 35.

[0050] Furthermore, the anti-slip pad 37 is made of a flexible material to accommodate support rods of different sizes.

[0051] The working principle of this utility model:

[0052] When it is necessary to fix the climbing vine support, first select the number of base 1 and clasp 3 according to the needs, and snap each ball head 34 into the first recess 12. Then close the cover 2 and base 1, and use the locking assembly to lock the base 1 and cover 2. The closed base 1 and cover 2 will hold the clasp 3 in place.

[0053] Then open the outer retaining ring 32, and one end of several support rods abuts against the ground. The other end of the support rods is engaged with the retaining ring 3 at the same height. Several retaining rings 3 are engaged between the base 1 and the cover 2.

[0054] When it is necessary to connect the crossbar, the external thread end of the rotating rod 36 is engaged with the internal thread groove 24, so that the crossbar retainer 35 is rotatably connected to the cover 2. Then, the crossbar is fixed in the crossbar retainer 35 with the locking assembly.

[0055] When it is necessary to switch the light surface, simply adjust the connecting rod at a 33° angle or unlock the locking assembly and rotate the support rod to switch the light surface, so that the climbing plants can receive more light and the pesticide spraying effect is better.

[0056] When it is necessary to disassemble, replace, repair or maintain the climbing vine support, disassembly can be completed by unfastening the locking assembly of the retaining ring 3 and the crossbar retaining ring 35.

[0057] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles of support rods and crossbars are commonplace, and they are all conventional methods or common knowledge, so they will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0058] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0059] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
