Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural product planting technology, and in particular to a support frame for planting. Background Technology

[0002] Passionflower is a perennial evergreen climbing woody vine. Due to its natural growth habits, it requires artificial support structures to promote its upward climbing and expansion. To meet its growth needs, trellises are typically erected to create a suitable growing environment for passionflower. Currently, the two main types of passionflower supports available on the market are single-wall trellises and T-shaped trellises.

[0003] A single-wall trellis primarily consists of a row of upright posts, with one or two wires strung across them to form a simple climbing frame. The posts are approximately 2 meters high, and the distance between each post is set at 6 meters. A T-shaped trellis is similar to a single-wall trellis, but a horizontal arm is installed at the top of each post, with two wires strung at both ends of the arm, thus providing more support area. Cement posts, wire, or aluminum wire are the primary choices for trellis materials.

[0004] The existing passion fruit trellis system is time-consuming and labor-intensive to construct, and once built, it is difficult to move or dismantle, resulting in low flexibility. Secondly, because the trellises are exposed to the outdoor environment for extended periods, they are susceptible to corrosion due to weather conditions, leading to a shortened lifespan and low reusability. Furthermore, the existing trellis specifications are relatively fixed, making it impossible to adjust the spread area according to actual needs. This not only affects the efficiency of timely trellising of passion fruit but also hinders effective orchard management and yield improvement. Utility Model Content

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The following are preferred embodiments of this application.

[0036] This application discloses a support for planting, comprising a support body, a fixing mechanism, an extension rod, and a first adjustment mechanism.

[0037] The support body includes a first rod 100 and a second rod 200. The first rod 100 is connected to one end of the second rod 200. The first rod 100 and the second rod 200 are arranged at an angle. There are at least two first rods 100 that are arranged back to back and connected to the second rod 200, or there are four first rods that are evenly distributed and connected to the second rod 200.

[0038] The first adjustment mechanism is a locking screw 500. The first rod body 100 is a hollow tubular structure with several threaded holes for connecting the locking screw 500. The extension rod 300 is a hollow tubular structure with a diameter smaller than that of the first rod body 100. The extension rod 300 is parallel to the first rod body 100 and inserted into the first rod body 100. The locking screw 500 can abut against the extension rod 300, thereby realizing the connection between the first rod body 100 and the extension rod 300.

[0039] Alternatively, the first adjustment mechanism is an external thread on the extension rod 300. The first rod body 100 is a hollow tubular structure and the inner wall of the first rod body 100 is provided with an internal thread that is threaded to the external thread. By controlling the length of the extension rod 300 screwed into the first rod body 100, the length of the entire support extending in the horizontal direction can be adjusted, which facilitates the growth of the target plant and increases the light area of ​​the target plant after the unfolded area is increased, thereby increasing the yield of the target plant.

[0040] The extension rod 300 has a connecting structure at the end away from the second rod 200. The connecting structure is a threaded sleeve 310. The diameter of the threaded sleeve 310 is larger than the diameter of the extension rod 300. The threaded sleeve 310 is a double-ended threaded sleeve. One end can be threadedly connected to the extension rod 300, and the other end can be connected to the threaded sleeve 310 of the adjacent support, which is used to expand the growth area of ​​the target plant.

[0041] Alternatively, the connection structure is a rope, with a through hole at one end of the extension rod 300 away from the second rod 200 for fixing to one end of the rope, and the other end of the rope connected to the rope of the adjacent support.

[0042] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing base and a rod 1200. The fixing base consists of a fixing block 900, a first base plate 1000, and a second base plate 1100. The fixing block 900 is a trapezoidal block. The second rod 200 is located on the upper surface of the fixing block 900. The lower surface of the fixing block 900 is fixedly connected to the first base plate 1000. The first base plate 1000 is connected to the second base plate 1100 via a locking screw 500. The second base plate 1100 is fixedly connected to the rod 1000. The upper surface of the second base plate 1100 is provided with a groove for connecting with a ground drilling machine. The end of the rod 1000 away from the second base plate 1100 is tapered and has threads on its surface for screwing into the soil.

[0043] When fixing the support, first connect it to the second base plate 1100 through the ground drilling machine. Start the ground drilling machine to drive the second base plate 1100 and the insertion rod 1000 into the soil. After drilling, connect it to the first base plate 1000 through the locking screw 500, and connect it to other parts of the support.

[0044] The second adjustment mechanism includes a hand crank 700, a gear 800, and a hollow tube 600 fixed to the first base plate. The hollow tube is sleeved on the second rod body 200 and its bottom is fixedly connected to the fixing block 900. The gear 800 is located inside the hollow tube 600. The second rod body 200 is provided with a rack 210 that meshes with the gear 800. The rack 210 extends along the axial direction of the second rod body 200. The output end of the hand crank 700 passes through the hollow tube 600 and is connected to the center of the gear 800. A locking structure 1600 is provided below the gear 800. The locking structure 1600 includes a sleeve 1610, a pressing rod 1620, a spring 1630, and a locking mechanism 1640. 610 passes through and is fixed to the hollow tube 600. The pressing rod 1620 is a T-shaped rod, with its longer end located inside the sleeve 1610 and capable of axial movement within the sleeve 1610. The locking mechanism 1640 passes through the sleeve 1610 near the end close to the second rod 200 and is capable of axial movement within the sleeve 1610. The end of the locking mechanism 1640 near the second rod 200 can engage with the rack 210, and the end away from the second rod 200 is coaxially connected to the pressing rod 1620. The spring 1640 is located inside the hollow sleeve and is sleeved on the pressing rod 1620. One end of the spring 1640 is fixedly connected to the end of the connector 1640 away from the second rod 200.

[0045] By cranking the hand crank 700, the gear 800 rotates, meshing with the rack 200. The rotation of the gear 800 drives the second rod 200, which has a rack 210, to move along its own length. When the second rod 200 moves to a specified height, the gear 800 stops rotating. Pressing the pressing rod 1620 causes the spring 1630 to extend and retract, pushing the locking mechanism 1640 to engage with the rack 210, thereby fixing the moving height of the second rod 200. If further movement is required, pulling the pressing rod 1620 stretches the spring 1630, causing the locking mechanism 1640 to disengage from the rack 210.

[0046] Alternatively, the second adjustment mechanism includes a hollow tube 600 fixed to the first base plate. The surface of the hollow tube 600 is provided with several slots, and the second rod 200 is provided with buckles that cooperate with the slots. Depending on the planting needs, the slots are connected with buckles of different heights.

[0047] The second rod 200, the extension rod 300, and the hollow tube 600 are all equipped with several protruding structures 400, which are serrated in shape to facilitate the climbing of the target plant.

[0048] Alternatively, the first rod 100 and the second rod 200 are set at an angle by a first support rod 1300. One end of the first support rod 1300 is connected to the first rod 100, and the other end is connected to the second rod 200. The first support rod 1300 is a telescopic sleeve with multiple small holes evenly spaced on the inner tube and a button corresponding to any of the small holes on the outer tube. When the sleeve is stretched to the required length, pressing the button locks the current length.

[0049] A second support rod 1400 is provided at one end of the hollow tube 600 near the fixed base 11. There are at least two second support rods 1400. One end of the second support rod 1400 is fixedly connected to the hollow tube 600, and the other end is tapered and used to abut against the ground to further fix the entire bracket. A connecting rod 1500 is also provided on the hollow tube 600. The other end of the connecting rod 1500 is connected to the second support rod 1400. The second support rod 1400 is a telescopic sleeve. The connecting rod 1500 is used to support the second support rod 1400 when it is opened and to further provide support force to improve the stability of the entire bracket.

[0050] The monitoring mechanism includes a temperature and humidity display screen 220 and a temperature and humidity sensor 1010. The temperature and humidity display screen 220 is located on the outer surface of the second rod 200, and the temperature and humidity sensor 1010 is located inside the insertion rod 1000. The temperature and humidity display screen 220 is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 1010. The temperature and humidity sensor 1010 is used to monitor the temperature and humidity of the target plant's growth environment and displays the data on the temperature and humidity display screen 220, which facilitates timely adjustments to the target plant's growth environment by staff.

[0051] The first rod 100, the second rod 200, the extension rod 300, and the hollow tube 600 are made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and high-hardness plastic. At the same time, the outer surfaces of the first rod 100, the second rod 200, the extension rod 300, and the hollow tube 600 are coated with anti-corrosion materials to prevent the bracket from rusting.

[0052] The target plant in this application is passion fruit or granadilla.

[0053] The process of using a support frame for planting is as follows: First, the second base plate 1100 and the insertion rod 1200 are drilled into the ground using a ground drilling machine. Then, the first base plate 1000 is connected to the second base plate 1200 with locking screws 500 to fix the entire support frame on the ground. According to the growth needs of the target plant, the height of the support frame is adjusted by the hand crank 700. The length of the support frame is adjusted by adjusting the screw depth between the extension rod 300 and the second rod body 200. The first support rod 1300 and the second support rod 1400 are extended to unfold and fix the support frame on the ground. Finally, the environmental data of passion fruit growth is viewed in real time on the temperature and humidity display screen 220, and adjustments are made in a timely manner.

[0054] If the bracket needs to be moved or temporarily retracted, first retract the first support rod 1300 and the second support rod 1400, loosen the locking screw 500 on the first base plate 1000, and then pull out the second base plate 1100 and the drill bit 1000.

[0055] This application discloses a planting support structure. An extension rod is provided on the first pole to extend the horizontal length of the support, and a first adjustment mechanism is provided to adjust the position of the extension rod, thereby adjusting the horizontal length of the support and improving the efficiency of planting the target plant. A second adjustment mechanism is provided on the second pole to adjust the vertical height of the support, and a locking structure is provided to fix the adjusted height, further improving the efficiency of planting the target plant. A protruding structure is also provided to help the target plant climb. A monitoring mechanism is provided to reflect the growth environment of the target plant in real time, facilitating adjustments by staff and increasing the yield of the target plant.
