Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pumpkin planting technology, specifically a support device for planting giant pumpkins. Background Technology

[0002] Giant pumpkins are cultivated varieties aimed at achieving extremely large single fruit weights. Giant pumpkins are generally large in size, thus having a large contact area with the ground. In order to protect the skin from pests and reduce fungal diseases, giant pumpkins need to be supported by a supporting device during their growth process to prevent them from directly contacting the ground.

[0003] Chinese patent CN207322082U discloses a support device for pumpkin cultivation, including a support plate, a partition and a fixed shaft below the support plate, mounting holes on the upper surface of the partition, the bottom of each mounting hole being a semi-concave spherical surface, one end of each fixed shaft being connected to the support plate, and the other end of each fixed shaft being inserted into a mounting hole, and a contact block being provided on the fixed shaft near the bottom of each mounting hole, the contact blocks being hemispherical, the spherical surface of each contact block being tangent to the bottom of the corresponding mounting hole;

[0004] While the aforementioned equipment can support and bear the weight of the pumpkin, it still has the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The support equipment did not have any rain protection devices for the giant pumpkins. Pathogens carried by rainwater can enter through micro-wounds on the fruit surface, causing the pumpkin fruit to rot. At the same time, the impact of rainwater can also damage the surface of the fruit. Protecting the giant pumpkins from rain is a key management step to ensure their healthy growth and avoid major losses.

[0006] 2. The height of multiple support shafts in the support equipment is fixed. For uneven ground, the support equipment that cannot adjust the length of the support shafts is prone to tilting when placed, thus failing to support the giant pumpkin well.

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, a support device for planting giant pumpkins is now provided. Utility Model Content

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a support device for planting giant pumpkins, including a support plate 11, a support disk 12, a rain-shielding mechanism, and a support mechanism;

[0036] The support plate 12 is located above the support plate 11. Multiple support rods 36 are installed at equal intervals on the top of the support plate 11. The top of each support rod 36 is fixedly connected to the support plate 12. The support plate 12 is hollow. The support rods 36 can support the support plate 12. At the same time, the arrangement of the support rods 36 makes a gap between the support plate 11 and the support plate 12, which can provide a good ventilation effect for the giant pumpkin inside the support plate 12.

[0037] When supporting the giant pumpkin, the giant pumpkin is placed inside the support plate 12. The support plate 12 supports the pumpkin, avoiding direct contact between the pumpkin and the ground, protecting the pumpkin skin from pests and reducing fungal diseases.

[0038] The rain-shielding mechanism includes a rain-shielding cloth 33, multiple arc-shaped rods 32, a telescopic component, and a drive component. The multiple arc-shaped rods 32 are all positioned above the support plate 12, each arc-shaped rod 32 being arc-shaped. The rain-shielding cloth 33 is installed above the multiple arc-shaped rods 32. Specifically, the arc-shaped rods 32 are steel pipes, providing good support. The connection method between the rain-shielding cloth 33 and the arc-shaped rods 32 is existing technology. Specifically, during use, multiple connecting sleeves are adhered to the bottom end of the rain-shielding cloth 33, and the arc-shaped rods 32 are inserted into the connecting sleeves. When the arc-shaped rods 32 move, the rain-shielding cloth 33 can be opened or closed. The connection method between the rain-shielding cloth 33 and the steel pipe is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The telescopic component is positioned between the support plate 11 and the multiple arc-shaped rods 32, and the drive component is installed on the telescopic component.

[0039] When it is necessary to protect the giant pumpkin from the rain, the drive component can drive the telescopic component to work, so that the spacing between multiple arc rods 32 can be adjusted. When the spacing between two adjacent arc rods 32 increases, the rain cover 33 can be pulled open to achieve the rain protection effect on the giant pumpkin in the support plate 12, preventing rainwater from directly contacting the surface of the pumpkin fruit, which is conducive to ensuring its healthy growth.

[0040] Meanwhile, since the curved rod 32 is curved, the rain cover 33 covering the curved rod 32 is also curved. When the giant pumpkin is covered from the rain, the rainwater can flow along the curved rain cover 33, which can guide the rainwater and prevent the rain cover 33 from collapsing due to the accumulation of rainwater.

[0041] The support mechanism includes multiple fixed legs 13, multiple movable legs 14, and multiple movable components. The multiple fixed legs 13 are equidistantly installed at the bottom end of the support plate 11. One end of each movable leg 14 is inserted into the end of a fixed leg 13 away from the support plate 11. Each movable component is installed between a fixed leg 13 and a movable leg 14.

[0042] By setting a movable component between each fixed leg 13 and a movable leg 14, the length of each movable leg 14 moving out of the fixed leg 13 can be adjusted individually. This allows the length of the legs of the device to be adjusted according to the unevenness of the ground, preventing the bearing plate 11 from tilting and improving the bearing effect on the giant pumpkin.

[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the telescopic assembly includes a fixed rod 27, two side plates 26, two first hinge rods 34, multiple moving blocks 31, and multiple second hinge rods 35. The two side plates 26 are both located on one side above the bearing plate 12. The fixed rod 27 is fixed between the two side plates 26. The multiple moving blocks 31 are equidistantly slidably arranged on the fixed rod 27. The fixed rod 27 can guide the moving blocks 31. One moving block 31 located at one end is fixedly connected to one of the side plates 26. The bottom end of the moving block 31 located at the other end is fixed with a moving plate 30. One end of each arc-shaped rod 32 is fixedly connected to a moving block 31.

[0044] One end of each of the two first hinge rods 34 is hinged to one of the two moving blocks 31 on both sides. Multiple second hinge rods 35 are respectively set on one side of the multiple moving blocks 31 located in the middle position. The middle part of each second hinge rod 35 is rotatably set on a moving block 31 through a rotating shaft. The two first hinge rods 34 and multiple second hinge rods 35 are hinged together in sequence.

[0045] When the drive component is working, it can move the movable plate 30. The movable plate 30 can move a movable block 31 located above it. The movable block 31 at the end away from the movable plate 30 is fixedly connected to the side plate 26. Therefore, when the movable block 31 above the movable plate 30 moves, under the action of the first hinge rod 34 and the second hinge rod 35, the distance between multiple movable blocks 31 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the distance between multiple arc rods 32 to be adjusted. When the distance between two adjacent arc rods 32 increases, the rain cover 33 can be pulled open to achieve the rain protection effect for the giant pumpkin in the support plate 12. When the distance between the arc rods 32 decreases, the rain cover 33 can be folded up to allow sunlight to shine on the giant pumpkin. At the same time, the folded rain cover 33 is more conducive to improving the ventilation effect.

[0046] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the drive assembly includes a threaded rod 28 and a handwheel 29. The threaded rod 28 passes through the movable plate 30 and is threadedly engaged with the movable plate 30. Specifically, the movable plate 30 has a threaded hole in the middle that engages with the threaded rod 28. The two ends of the threaded rod 28 are rotatably connected to the two side plates 26 through bearings, and the handwheel 29 is fixed to one end of the threaded rod 28.

[0047] When the movable plate 30 needs to be moved, the handwheel 29 is turned. The handwheel 29 can drive the threaded rod 28 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 28 and the movable plate 30 are threadedly engaged, the movable plate 30 can be moved along the length of the threaded rod 28, thereby driving a movable block 31 above the movable plate 30 to move, realizing the unfolding and retraction of the rain cover 33.

[0048] like Figures 1-6 As shown, each movable component includes a movable seat 19, a fixed seat 20, a lead screw 21, and a turntable 24. The movable seat 19 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the movable support leg 14, and the fixed seat 20 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixed support leg 13. The lead screw 21 passes through the fixed seat 20 and is threadedly engaged with the fixed seat 20. The fixed seat 20 has a threaded hole that engages with the lead screw 21. One end of the lead screw 21 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 19 through a bearing, and the other end of the lead screw 21 is fixedly connected to the turntable 24.

[0049] When it is necessary to adjust the length of the movable support leg 14 extending beyond the fixed support leg 13, the turntable 24 is rotated. The turntable 24 can drive the lead screw 21 to rotate. Since the lead screw 21 and the fixed seat 20 are threadedly connected, and the lead screw 21 and the movable seat 19 are rotatably connected, when the turntable 24 rotates, it can drive the lead screw 21 to screw in or out on the fixed seat 20, thereby adjusting the position of the movable seat 19. This allows the movable support leg 14 to slide inside the fixed support leg 13, adjusting the length of the movable support leg 14 extending beyond the fixed support leg 13. This allows the length of each support leg to be adjusted according to the unevenness of the ground, preventing the bearing plate 11 from tilting and improving the bearing effect on the giant pumpkin.

[0050] like Figures 1-6 As shown, each fixed leg 13 has two guide grooves 22 on its surface. A slider 23 is fitted on the surface of the lead screw 21. The slider 23 and the lead screw 21 are rotatably connected by a bearing. The slider 23 is slidably disposed on one side of the fixed leg 13 through the two guide grooves 22. The slider 23, which slides on one side of the fixed leg 13, can guide the lead screw 21 and improve stability.

[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, each movable support leg 14 has a support plate 15 fixed at its bottom end. Each support plate 15 has a sliding groove 16 on both sides. A U-shaped frame 17 is provided below the support plate 15. The U-shaped frame 17 is slidably set at the bottom end of the support plate 15 through the two sliding grooves 16. The U-shaped frame 17 and the sliding grooves 16 are detachably connected by bolts. An insertion rod 18 is fixed at the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 17. In use, by inserting the insertion rod 18 into the soil, the stability of the device can be ensured, thereby providing stable support for the giant pumpkin. The U-shaped frame 17 can be installed and disassembled by bolts. When the insertion rod 18 is corroded and damaged due to prolonged exposure to the soil, the detachable U-shaped frame 17 can quickly replace the insertion rod 18.

[0052] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a bracket 25 is fixed on one side of the bearing plate 11, and two side plates 26 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the bracket 25. The bracket 25 can support the side plates 26. Specifically, the bracket 25 is a steel structure bracket.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
