Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flower stand technology, and in particular relates to a flower arrangement test tube holder. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale floral arrangements typically feature unique shapes and spatial layouts. However, a common problem arises in many floral works: the nodes exposed by test tubes or water-retaining measures appear cluttered and disorganized, lacking any sense of cleanliness or neatness. This issue directly leads to a severe lack of overall cohesion in the entire piece. Furthermore, these flaws significantly impact the artistic expression and visual appeal of the floral arrangement.

[0003] The existing patent CN220000106U provides a floral test tube rack structure, which adopts a combination of a three-pronged fixing frame, a fastening clamp, and an adjusting component. The adjusting component consists of a first connecting screw, a second connecting screw, and a metal shaping hose. This solution has the following technical defects: (1) The structure is too complex. The linkage adjustment mechanism of the metal shaping hose and the multi-stage screw leads to redundancy of the overall components, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also interferes with the overall visual effect of the floral artwork due to the exposed mechanical structure; (2) The test tube fixing reliability is insufficient. When the L-shaped clamping plate used contacts the smooth cylindrical test tube surface, due to the small linear contact area and uneven clamping force distribution, it is easy to slip under vibration or tilting conditions, which poses a risk of flower material falling off. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of complex structure and insufficient reliability of test tube fixation in existing floral test tube racks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A floral test tube holder includes: a test tube fixing clip and a fastening clip, wherein the fastening clip and the test tube fixing clip are fixedly connected by an insertion method;

[0007] The test tube clamp is assembled from a circular arc section and a cylindrical body welded together. The fastening clamp includes a clamping component and a clamping adapter, which are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The clamping component is assembled from a circular arc section and a cuboid section welded together. A cylindrical cavity is provided at the center of the cuboid section along its length. The cylinder is inserted into the cylindrical cavity, thus fixing the fastening clamp to the test tube clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, the arc-shaped component is in the form of an encircling cavity, and its arc contour is an arc-shaped surface adapted to fit the glass test tube. The curvature fits the outer circle of the glass test tube and is used to accommodate and limit the test tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the two side ears of the arc segment form an inclined guide surface downwards, and the angle between the inclined guide surface and the tangent of the arc segment is 127°.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping adapter has a cuboid structure with an opening at one end. Inclined surfaces are formed at both ends of the opening, with an angle of 37° between the inclined surfaces and the width direction of the cuboid. The inclined surfaces of the clamping adapter are matched with the inclined guide surfaces of the clamping components.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Existing patents employ a combination of a three-pronged fixing bracket, fastening clamps, and complex adjusting components, resulting in redundant structures. The floral test tube holder of this application consists only of a fastening clamp and a test tube fixing clamp, achieving functionality through insertion and snap-fit. These two components work together to simply and quickly securely fix the flowers and test tubes together. This floral test tube holder reduces manufacturing difficulty and component costs, minimizes assembly steps, and effectively controls overall manufacturing costs. Furthermore, by reducing exposed mechanical structures, it does not excessively interfere with the overall aesthetics of the floral arrangement during use, resulting in a more natural and harmonious visual effect.

[0013] 2. The arc-shaped component of the test tube clamp in this application is designed as a circumferential cavity, with its curved surface perfectly fitting the outer circumference of the glass test tube. This greatly increases the contact area with the test tube, ensuring that the clamping force is evenly distributed across the test tube surface. Even under vibration or tilting conditions, the test tube can be stably positioned, significantly reducing the probability of slippage and effectively protecting the flowers, preventing them from falling off and affecting the integrity of the floral arrangement.

[0014] 3. Improved material performance and enhanced mechanical properties: Utilizing reinforced nylon and adding glass fiber and other reinforcing materials to strengthen the internal structure significantly improves strength and rigidity. The C-clamps, in particular, enhance toughness and durability, making it less likely to break the test tubes and capable of withstanding heavy loads, meeting the requirements for repeated use in scenarios with high mechanical performance demands. The components become new growth nodes in the structure of cut flowers, allowing each test tube to "take root and grow," giving the floral arrangement vitality and providing viewers with an ultimate visual enjoyment and aesthetic experience.

[0019] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 A floral test tube holder includes a test tube clamp 1 and a fastening clamp 2, which are fixedly connected by an insertion method to form an integrated device that functions as both test tube fixation and branch clamping. The fastening clamp 2 and the test tube clamp 1 can rotate relative to each other for 360° adjustment.

[0022] Both the test tube clamp 1 and the fastening clamp 2 are made of reinforced nylon material, the performance of which is optimized by adding glass fiber or other reinforcing materials.

[0023] The test tube clamp 1 is welded together from an arc-shaped part and a cylinder. The arc-shaped part is in the form of an encircling cavity, and its arc profile is an arc-shaped surface adapted to fit the glass test tube. The curvature fits the outer circle of the glass test tube and is used to accommodate and limit the test tube, providing stable encircling support. The cylinder is a solid cylinder and serves as a connecting and fitting structure, used to insert and cooperate with the clamp to achieve connection.

[0024] The fastening clamp 2 includes a clamping component 3 and a clamping adapter 4, which are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The clamping component 3 is welded together from an arc segment and a cuboid segment. The two side ears of the arc segment face downwards to form an inclined guide surface, with the inclined guide surface forming an angle of 127° with the tangent of the arc segment. A cylindrical cavity is provided at the center of the cuboid segment along its length. The diameter of the cylindrical cavity is adapted to the diameter of the cylinder of the test tube clamp. The fastening clamp and the test tube clamp are fixedly connected by inserting the cylinder into the cylindrical cavity.

[0025] The clamping adapter 4 is a cuboid structure with an opening at one end. Inclined surfaces are formed at both ends of the opening, with an angle of 37° between the inclined surfaces and the width direction of the cuboid. The inclined surfaces of the clamping adapter 4 are adapted to the inclined guide surfaces of the clamping member. By engaging the inclined surfaces of the clamping adapter 4 and the inclined guide surfaces of the clamping member 3, the clamping member 3 and the clamping adapter 4 are fixedly connected. After connection, the tree branch can be clamped by relative compression to achieve the support function.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model:

[0027] Test tube fixation: Place the glass test tube in the arc-shaped cavity of the test tube fixing clamp 1. Since the arc of the arc fits the outer circle of the glass test tube, it can tightly accommodate and limit the test tube. The circumferential support provides a stable fixation effect for the test tube, preventing the test tube from shaking or slipping during use.

[0028] Component Connection: The cylindrical portion of the test tube clamp 1 serves as a connecting adapter structure, which can be inserted into the cylindrical cavity of the cuboid segment of the clamping member 3 in the fastening clamp 2, thus achieving a fixed connection between the test tube clamp 1 and the fastening clamp 2. Furthermore, the fastening clamp 2 and the test tube clamp 1 can rotate relative to each other through the insertion method, achieving 360° adjustment, allowing users to easily adjust the orientation and position of the test tubes according to actual needs.

[0029] Branch clamping: The clamping element 3 and clamping adapter 4 in the fastening clamp 2 are fixed by snap-fit. The two side ears of the arc segment of the clamping element 3 form a 127° inclined guide surface downwards, and the two ends of the opening of the clamping adapter 4 form a 37° inclined surface inwards. The inclined surfaces of the two are mutually adapted. When it is necessary to install the fixer on the branch, the branch is placed between the clamping element 3 and the clamping adapter 4. By relatively pressing the clamping element 3 and the clamping adapter 4, their inclined surfaces are clamped together, thereby clamping the branch and providing support for the entire fixer. This fixes the test tube in the designated position on the branch, meeting the needs of the floral arrangement.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
