Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden equipment technology, and in particular to a garden planting rack with an adjustable structure. Background Technology

[0002] Garden planting trellises are primarily used for cultivating climbing plants (vines), providing support for slender, non-upright climbing plants and guiding their growth posture through the shape of the trellis to meet the aesthetic and artistic needs of garden plants. However, existing garden planting trellises typically employ a fixed, frame-like structure. Once erected, their overall shape and internal support structure cannot be adjusted according to the actual growth of the plants. During the growth process of climbing plants, the direction and speed of their vine extension cannot be completely controlled, often requiring multiple manual guidance, adjustments, and bindings to guide them along a predetermined path. This fixed structure makes the manual adjustment process cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, binding or forcibly changing the growth direction of plants can easily cause pulling or damage to the vines, affecting their healthy growth and the final aesthetic effect.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a garden planting rack with an adjustable structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a garden planting rack with an adjustable structure, including a frame, on which symmetrical grooves are provided on the inner wall of the frame.

[0006] The garden planting rack also includes two mounting plates, which are symmetrically fixed to the lower end of the frame, and the frame is fixed to the ground by the mounting plates.

[0007] The garden planting rack also includes three crossbeams, with both ends of the three crossbeams extending into the grooves on both sides. A crossbar is provided between each pair of adjacent crossbeams, and each crossbar is rotatably connected to the two adjacent upper and lower crossbeams by a rotating rod. Each end of the crossbeam is provided with an insertion hole.

[0008] The garden planting rack also includes multiple adjusting bolts, which are used to pass through the frame and insert into corresponding holes to fix the height position of the crossbeam.

[0009] The surface of the crossbeam is provided with relief grooves at equal intervals, and the surface of the crossbar is provided with relief holes at equal intervals.

[0010] The garden planting rack also includes multiple inserts that are detachably installed in the clearance slots of the crossbeam and the clearance holes of the crossbar.

[0011] Each of the inserts has multiple side rods inserted on its surface, and a limiting hole is formed through the surface of each side rod. A limiting rod is slidably inserted into the inner wall of each insert, and an extension rod is symmetrically fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod. The extension rod is inserted into the limiting hole to slide and limit the side rod.

[0012] Furthermore, a top beam is fixedly connected to the top of the frame, and a top frame is provided on the inner wall of the top beam.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjacent beams and crossbars, as well as the connecting rods between them, form a retractable connection structure relative to the frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the insert is a rod-shaped structure, and the clearance groove is a U-shaped groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the side rod is a rod-shaped structure, the insertion rod is a hollow structure, and the side rod is inserted into the inner cavity of the insertion rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the limiting rod is a rod-shaped structure, the extension rod is a radially elongated block, and the limiting hole is a hole that passes through the side rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the top beam is a transverse rod-like structure, the top frame is a grid-like structure, and the top frame is fixed to the top beam.

[0018] Furthermore, the mounting plate has a flat structure and is provided with mounting holes for fixing it to the ground.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] By incorporating height-adjustable crossbeams and adjusting bolts and holes for fixing their height, the problem of existing garden planting rack structures being fixed and unable to be adjusted according to plant growth has been solved. This adjustable structure allows users to easily change the overall shape of the planting rack and the height of the internal support layer to adapt to the needs of climbing plants at different growth stages.

[0021] Meanwhile, by incorporating detachable and installable inserts and side bars, along with fixing rods, a flexible and variable vertical support structure is provided, effectively guiding the growth direction of climbing plants. These inserts and side bars can be installed or removed as needed without pulling or damaging the vines during removal, avoiding the inconvenience and potential harm to plants caused by manual adjustment and binding in existing technologies. This technical solution makes the operation of garden planting racks more convenient, better guides plant growth to meet horticultural needs, enhances aesthetics, and has significant practical value.

[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0027] In landscaping, climbing plants are widely used due to their unique growth form and ornamental value. To guide these plants upwards and create specific shapes, trellises are typically installed. Early trellises often used simple, fixed frame structures, consisting of uprights and horizontal support rods; once erected, their structure remained unchanged. However, the growth of climbing plants is a dynamic process, and the direction and speed of their vine extension are difficult to predict and control completely. Such fixed trellises are ill-suited to adapting to changes in plant growth, often requiring repeated, tedious manual guidance, adjustments, and even binding. This is not only inconvenient but also prone to pulling or damaging the vines during adjustments, affecting the plant's healthy growth and the final aesthetic effect.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 The garden planting rack shown includes a frame 1, with symmetrical grooves formed on the inner wall of the frame 1, and further includes:

[0029] Two mounting plates 2 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the lower end of the frame 1, and the frame 1 is fixed to the ground by the mounting plates 2;

[0030] Three crossbeams 3, with both ends of the three crossbeams 3 extending into the sliding grooves on both sides respectively. A crossbar 6 is provided between each pair of adjacent crossbeams 3. Each crossbar 6 is rotatably connected to the two adjacent upper and lower crossbeams 3 by a rotating rod 5. Each end of each crossbeam 3 is provided with an insertion hole 16.

[0031] Multiple adjusting bolts 4 are used to pass through the frame 1 and be inserted into the corresponding holes 16 to fix the height position of the crossbeam 3;

[0032] The surface of the crossbeam 3 is provided with equal-distance relief grooves 9, and the surface of the crossbar 6 is provided with equal-distance relief holes.

[0033] Multiple insert rods 8 are detachably installed in the relief grooves 9 of the crossbeam 3 and the relief holes of the crossbar 6;

[0034] Multiple side rods 10 are inserted into the surface of each insertion rod 8. Limiting holes 13 are opened through the surface of the side rods 10. A limiting rod 11 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of each insertion rod 8. An extension rod 12 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 11. The extension rod 12 is inserted into the limiting hole 13 to slide and limit the side rod 10.

[0035] Inside the frame 1, an adjustable-height space frame structure is installed. This space frame structure mainly consists of multiple crossbeams 3, multiple crossbars 6, and multiple rotating rods 5 connecting them. Specifically, symmetrical grooves are formed on the inner wall of the frame 1, and the two ends of the three crossbeams 3 extend into the grooves on both sides, allowing the crossbeams 3 to slide up and down within the grooves, thereby changing their height position. A crossbar 6 is provided between each pair of adjacent crossbeams 3, and each crossbar 6 is rotatably connected to the two adjacent upper and lower crossbeams 3 by a rotating rod 5. The crossbeams 3, crossbars 6, and rotating rods 5 are hinged to form a telescopic quadrilateral or polygonal space frame unit, and multiple such units are combined to form an overall telescopic space frame structure. When the crossbeams 3 slide up and down in the grooves, the space frame structure expands and contracts accordingly, thereby achieving overall height adjustment. To fix the space frame structure at a specific height, each end of the crossbeam 3 has a socket 16 and multiple adjusting bolts 4. Adjusting bolts 4 are used to pass through the frame 1 and be inserted into the corresponding socket 16. The bolts are tightened to lock the crossbeam 3 at a specific height of the frame 1, thereby fixing the height position of the entire space frame structure.

[0036] The height-adjustable grid structure includes support components for directly guiding plant climbing. Specifically, equidistant grooves 9 are formed on the surface of the crossbeam 3, and equidistant holes are formed on the surface of the crossbar 6. Multiple insert rods 8 are provided, which are detachably installed in the grooves 9 of the crossbeam 3 and the holes of the crossbar 6. These insert rods 8 are typically rod-shaped, allowing for easy insertion and removal from the grooves 9 and holes, thus flexibly arranging the vertical climbing path. Furthermore, multiple side rods 10 are inserted into the surface of each insert rod 8. These side rods 10 are also typically rod-shaped, allowing for insertion from the side of the insert rod 8, increasing the attachment points for climbing. To fix the position of the side rod 10 relative to the insertion rod 8, a limiting hole 13 is formed through the surface of the side rod 10. A limiting rod 11 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of each insertion rod 8. An extension rod 12 is symmetrically fixed to the end of the limiting rod 11. The extension rod 12 is inserted into the limiting hole 13 to limit the sliding of the side rod 10. By inserting the limiting rod 11 into the insertion rod 8, and having its extension rod 12 pass through the hole in the wall of the insertion rod 8 and enter the limiting hole 13 of the side rod 10, the side rod 10 can be locked onto the insertion rod 8, preventing it from sliding or falling off during use. This combination structure of the insertion rod 8, side rod 10, and limiting rod 11 provides a flexible and detachable vertical support unit, whose position and number can be adjusted at any time according to the growth of the plant.

[0037] When using the garden planting frame of this utility model, firstly, the frame 1 is securely fixed to the ground using the mounting plate 2. Then, according to the initial height of the plant, loosen the adjusting bolt 4 to allow the crossbeam 3 to slide within the groove of the frame 1, moving the uppermost crossbeam 3 to the lowermost adjusting bolt 4. Next, insert the insert rod 8 into the clearance groove 9 of the crossbeam 3 and the clearance hole of the crossbar 6, insert the side bar 10 onto the insert rod 8, and then insert the limiting rod 11 into the insert rod 8, allowing the extension rod 12 to enter the limiting hole 13 of the side bar 10, completing the installation of the vertical support unit. This allows climbing plants to easily climb and grow upwards along the insert rod 8 and the side bar 10. As the plant grows, when it reaches the current height of the trellis structure, the adjusting bolt 4 can be loosened again, allowing the crossbeam 3 to slide upwards, adjusting the trellis structure to a higher height and fixing it. Simultaneously, the lower-position insert rod 8 and side bar 10 can be removed, and the insert rod 8 and side bar 10 can be reinstalled at the new height to guide the plant to continue growing upwards. When removing the insert rod 8 and side rod 10, simply pull out the limiting rod 11 first, then pull the side rod 10 out of the insert rod 8, and finally pull the insert rod 8 out of the crossbeam 3 and cross rod 6. The entire process causes minimal interference to the plant vines. When adjusting the height of this telescopic trellis structure, the relative positional change between the crossbeam 3 and cross rod 6 is minimal, causing only minor deformation of the plant vines without pulling or breaking. Finally, when the plants grow near the top, they can continue to grow along the top beam 14 and top frame 15, forming the desired top shape. Through the above adjustment and installation process, this invention effectively guides climbing plants to grow according to a preset shape, is easy to operate, and minimizes damage to the plants throughout the process, significantly improving the practicality and aesthetic appeal of the garden planting trellis.

[0038] A damping pad is provided at the rotational connection between the rotating rod 5 and the crossbeam 3 and the crossbar 6, which is beneficial for damping and limiting the position of the crossbar 6 after the crossbeam 3 is pulled.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, a top beam 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and a top frame 15 is provided on the inner wall of the top beam 14. The top beam 14 is a horizontal rod-shaped structure, and the top frame 15 is a grid-shaped structure. The top frame 15 is fixed on the top beam 14.

[0040] In practice, this top structure enhances the functionality of the garden planting trellis. After the climbing plants reach the top by growing upwards along the adjustable mesh structure below, their vines can continue to spread horizontally along the top beam 14 and the top frame 15. The top frame 15 provides a wide climbing surface, allowing the plant vines to stretch freely and eventually form a dense top cover, such as a shade canopy-like shape. Thus, this top structure, in conjunction with the adjustable mesh structure and detachable climbing supports below, guides the climbing plants through the entire process from vertical upward growth to horizontal spread, allowing the plants to grow according to the desired form and greatly improving the aesthetic appeal and practicality of the garden planting trellis.

[0041] The top frame 15 is constructed as a grid structure, typically consisting of intersecting rods or wire mesh forming a planar structure with numerous holes. The top frame 15 is fixed to the top beam 14 using methods such as welding, bolting, snap-fitting, or binding to ensure a secure connection and prevent it from detaching or shifting during use. This grid structure provides ample attachment points and space for the vines of climbing plants, allowing them to freely extend and twine horizontally.

[0042] As one embodiment of this utility model, adjacent crossbeams 3 and crossbars 6, as well as the rotating rods 5 between them, form a telescopic connection structure relative to the frame 1.

[0043] In implementation, the telescopic connection structure formed by the adjacent crossbeams 3, crossbars 6, and the connecting rods 5 is the key technical feature for achieving adjustable height of the garden planting rack. Through this ingenious linkage mechanism design, the originally fixed support structure can extend and retract like an accordion, allowing for convenient and quick adjustment of the climbing support layer height according to the different growth stages of climbing plants. Compared to the fixed frames of existing technologies, this structure provides the ability to dynamically adapt to plant growth, greatly improving the practicality and flexibility of the planting rack. This is the core of this invention's solution to existing technical problems and its technological contribution.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the insertion rod 8 is a rod-shaped structure, and the clearance groove 9 is a U-shaped groove.

[0045] In practice, the insert rod 8 adopts a rod-like structure, providing basic vertical support. The clearance groove 9 on the crossbeam 3 adopts a U-shaped groove structure, which is the key to enabling quick and convenient installation and disassembly of the insert rod 8.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the side rod 10 is a rod-shaped structure, the insertion rod 8 is a hollow structure, and the side rod 10 is inserted into the inner cavity of the insertion rod 8.

[0047] In implementation, in this garden planting trellis, the side poles 10 for direct climbing by climbing plants are constructed as pole-like structures. The side poles 10 can be solid or hollow, and their cross-sectional shape can be circular, square, or other shapes suitable for plant climbing. The inserts 8 used in conjunction with the side poles 10 are constructed as hollow structures, i.e., they have an internal cavity to accommodate other components. The inserts 8 are typically tubular. The side poles 10 are designed to be inserted into the cavity of the inserts 8. For example, the outer diameter of the side pole 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the insert 8, allowing the side pole 10 to slide smoothly into the interior of the insert 8. Multiple side poles 10 can be inserted at intervals along the length of the insert 8.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting rod 11 is a rod-shaped structure, the extension rod 12 is a radially elongated block, and the limiting hole 13 is a hole that passes through the side rod 10.

[0049] As one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate 2 is a flat plate structure with mounting holes for fixing it to the ground.

[0050] In implementation, the mounting plate 2 adopts a flat structure with mounting holes, providing a simple and effective technical solution for firmly fixing the frame 1 of the garden planting rack to the ground. The flat structure provides sufficient contact area, enabling the load borne by the frame 1 to be evenly transferred to the ground or foundation structure. The mounting holes allow for reliable connection using standard fasteners. Therefore, this technical feature ensures that the entire garden planting rack can resist external forces such as wind and plant weight after installation, maintaining the overall stability and safety of the structure. This additional technical feature is fundamental to ensuring the long-term stable use of the garden planting rack and is crucial to the reliability of the entire structure.

[0051] Working principle: When in use, first use the mounting plate 2 to fix the frame 1 on the ground in the garden. When in use, cement should be poured on the ground to embed the parts. Then, use expansion bolts in conjunction with the mounting plate 2 to fix the entire frame 1. Then loosen the adjusting bolt 4 so that the two upper crossbeams 3 slide downward under the action of gravity. At this time, the rotating rod 5, which is rotatably connected to the crossbeams 3 and the crossbar 6, rotates to the tilted state. In this state, the user inserts the insertion rod 8 through the crossbar 6 and inserts it into the relief groove 9 on the crossbeam 3. Then, insert the side rod 10 into the insertion rod 8 through the through hole. Finally, insert the limiting rod 11 into the insertion rod 8. At this time, the extension rod 12 at the lower end of the limiting rod 11 passes through the limiting hole 13 on the side rod 10 to fix the side rod 10. At this time, the initial layout of the garden planting rack is completed.

[0052] After the staff plants the climbing plants near the frame 1, the climbing plants can spread along the lowest crossbeam 3 during their growth, and then climb along the inserts 8 and side bars 10 until they reach the lowest crossbar 6. Then the user takes out another batch of inserts 8, passes them through the crossbeam 3 and inserts them into the relief grooves 9 on the crossbar 6, and installs the side bars 10 on this batch of inserts 8, allowing the climbing plants to continue to grow upwards along the inserts 8 and side bars 10 (both the crossbeam 3 and the crossbar 6 are provided with relief grooves for installing inserts 8);

[0053] After the vine grows along the lowest crossbeam 3 to the middle crossbeam 3, the worker slides the middle crossbeam 3 to rotate the rotating rod 5. At this time, the vine also deforms, but the distance between the crossbeam 3 and the crossbar 6 does not change. Adjusting the position of the crossbeam 3 will only cause the vine to deform to a certain extent and will not cause the vine to break. When the middle crossbeam 3 is slid to the highest point, the adjusting bolt 4 is turned and inserted into the insertion hole 16 on the middle crossbeam 3. At this time, the rotating rod 5 connected to the lowest crossbeam 3, the lowest crossbar 6, and the middle crossbeam 3 all rotate to the vertical position. Then, the limiting rod 11 is pulled out, and the side rod 10 is pulled out from the insertion rod 8. Finally, the insertion rod 8 is pulled out from the crossbeam 3 and the crossbar 6. The insertion rod 8 and the side rod 10 are installed between the middle crossbeam 3 and the uppermost crossbeam 3.

[0054] The vines will then continue to grow upwards along the insert 8 and side bar 10 between the middle crossbeam 3 and the uppermost crossbeam 3 until they reach the uppermost crossbeam 3. Following the steps above, slide the uppermost crossbeam 3 upwards again and fix it with the adjusting bolt 4, and remove the insert 8 and side bar 10. At this point, the vines have grown to a position close to the top beam 14. Finally, let the vines grow along the top beam 14 and the top frame 15, so that the vines can eventually grow into a shade structure.

[0055] In this design, the flexible plug-in side rod 10, together with the plug rod 8, can effectively guide the growth direction of the climbing plants. After the climbing plants have grown, they can be removed without damaging them. When the positions of the adjustable beam 3 and crossbar 6 are changed to alter the shape of the planting frame, the vines of the climbing plants will only deform slightly without pulling them. This allows the climbing plants to grow into a shape that meets horticultural needs without damaging them.

[0056] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
