Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is an anti-lodging support frame for chili pepper cultivation, belonging to the field of chili pepper cultivation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are a common cash crop, but they are inherently fragile – with shallow roots and brittle stems. Especially during the fruiting period, the stems bear a heavy load when clusters of peppers are hanging on the ground (for example, a single sweet pepper weighs 50-100g, while a bunch of long peppers can weigh up to 200g). If it rains or the wind blows, the stems are easily bent or broken, causing the fruit to fall to the ground and rot. Even if they don't break, the leaves and branches will pile up after the plant falls over, resulting in poor ventilation and light penetration, and making it prone to mold. Ultimately, the yield will be reduced by 20%-30%. To prevent lodging, the common method used by growers now is to build trellises.

[0003] However, existing supports are either too rudimentary or too rigid, failing to meet the needs of chili pepper growth. For example, some use bamboo poles inserted next to the plant and tied to the stems, while others use wire mesh as supports. These methods are either labor-intensive and damaging to the seedlings, and they cannot be adjusted to keep up with the growth of the chili peppers. In the end, there is still a 50% chance that the plant will fall over, making them impractical. There is an urgent need for a lodging-resistant support frame for chili pepper cultivation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lodging prevention support frame for chili pepper planting, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model adopts an adjustable elastic stem clamp component, which can be efficiently fastened to the chili pepper stem for lodging prevention support. In addition, the height can be quickly adjusted according to the growth needs of chili peppers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a chili pepper planting anti-lodging support frame, comprising an upright frame, metal stem-holding plates, and side fasteners. A bent plate is installed at the upper center of the upright frame via multiple bolts. Connecting frames are installed on the lower left and right sides of the bent plate via bolts. Horizontal fixing plates are installed horizontally at the lower ends of both connecting frames via multiple bolts. Multiple anti-lodging support rods are longitudinally installed at the lower ends of both horizontal fixing plates. Slider blocks are fitted onto the exterior of each anti-lodging support rod. Hollow carbon steel pipes are installed at the right ends of each slider. Metal stem-holding plates are fixed to the right ends of each hollow carbon steel pipe via hot melt adhesive. Miniature airbags are installed at the left ends of each metal stem-holding plate. T-slots are formed on the upper front, rear, and right ends of each metal stem-holding plate. Multiple side fasteners are provided. T-shaped magnets are fixed to the front and rear sides of the left ends of each side fastener. Small stainless steel springs are horizontally installed at the middle of the left and right ends of each side fastener. Silicone clips are longitudinally installed at the left ends of each small stainless steel spring.

[0006] Furthermore, support plates are welded to the front and rear sides of the lower end of the support frame, and multiple ground nails are inserted longitudinally into the upper part of each of the two support plates.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the multiple sliders has an internal thread block fixed to its front end, and each of the multiple sliders and the multiple internal thread blocks has a threaded hole through it, and a threaded rod is installed in each of the multiple threaded holes.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the threaded rods has a handle fixed to its front end, and the rear ends of the handles abut against the anti-tipping support rods respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the multiple micro-airbags are respectively located to the left of the multiple silicone clips.

[0010] Furthermore, the multiple T-shaped magnet pieces are respectively inserted into the multiple T-shaped slots, and the multiple T-shaped magnet pieces are attracted and fixed to the multiple metal stem pieces by magnetic attraction.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an anti-lodging support frame for chili pepper cultivation. Because it incorporates a horizontal fixing plate, anti-lodging support rod, slider, inner screw block, threaded rod, handle, hollow carbon steel pipe, metal stem-holding plate, miniature airbag, side buckle plate, T-shaped magnet, stainless steel spring, and silicone clip, its structure is reasonable. It uses an adjustable elastic stem-holding clip assembly, which can efficiently fasten to the chili pepper stem for anti-lodging support. Furthermore, the height can be quickly adjusted according to the growth needs of the chili pepper, making it highly practical and providing excellent anti-lodging support.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lodging prevention support frame for chili pepper cultivation, including a vertical frame 1, a metal stem-holding plate 13, and side buckle plates 16. A bent plate 4 is installed at the upper center of the vertical frame 1 via multiple bolts. Connecting frames 5 are installed on the lower left and right sides of the bent plate 4 via bolts. Horizontal fixing plates 6 are horizontally installed at the lower ends of both connecting frames 5 via multiple bolts. Multiple anti-lodging support rods 7 are longitudinally installed at the lower ends of both horizontal fixing plates 6. Slider blocks 8 are sleeved on the outside of each anti-lodging support rod 7. Hollow carbon steel pipes 12 are installed at the right ends of each slider 8. All metal stem-holding pieces 13 are fixed with hot melt adhesive. Each metal stem-holding piece 13 has a miniature airbag 14 installed on its left end. Each metal stem-holding piece 13 has a T-shaped groove 15 on its upper front, rear, and right sides. Multiple side buckles 16 are provided. Each side buckle 16 has a T-shaped magnet 17 fixed on its left front and rear sides. Each side buckle 16 has a stainless steel spring 18 horizontally installed in the middle of its left and right sides. Each stainless steel spring 18 has a silicone clip 19 vertically installed on its left side. This design solves the problem that existing frames are either too simple or too rigid, and cannot meet the needs of chili pepper growth, making them impractical.

[0016] As the first embodiment of this utility model: support plates 2 are welded to the front and rear sides of the lower end of the support frame 1, and multiple ground nails 3 are inserted longitudinally into the upper end of the two support plates 2. With the addition of support plates 2 and ground nails 3, the entire support frame can be firmly fixed to the ground, effectively preventing the overall overturning caused by wind or plant weight, and ensuring the reliability of the support.

[0017] Multiple sliders 8 are each fixed with an internal threaded block 9 at their front end. Threaded holes are drilled through the sliders 8 and internal threaded blocks 9, and threaded rods 10 are installed within these holes. Handles 11 are fixed to the front ends of the threaded rods 10, and the rear ends of the handles 11 abut against multiple anti-tipping support rods 7. The added internal threaded blocks 9 and threaded rods 10 constitute a reliable locking mechanism. When the threaded rods 10 are rotated, their ends abut against the anti-tipping support rods 7, thus firmly locking the sliders 8 at the desired height. The added handles 11 provide the operator with a labor-saving and convenient point of application, making it easy and quick to tighten or loosen the threaded rods 10 to adjust the height of the sliders 8. Multiple micro-airbags 14 are located to the left of multiple silicone clamps 19. When compressed, the added micro-airbags 14 provide a continuous and gentle elastic reaction force to the silicone clamps 19, allowing the clamping force to adapt to the stem thickness and avoiding damage caused by rigid clamping. Multiple T-shaped magnetic pieces 17 are respectively inserted into multiple T-shaped slots 15, and the multiple T-shaped magnetic pieces 17 are attracted and fixed to multiple metal stem-holding pieces 13 by magnetic attraction. Through the cooperation of the added T-shaped slots 15 and T-shaped magnetic pieces 17, the side buckle plate 16 and the metal stem-holding pieces 13 can be quickly fastened and separated. The magnetic fixing method is simple to operate, ensures the reliability of the clamping structure closure, and facilitates quick opening for maintenance or adjustment.

[0018] As a second embodiment of this utility model: Place the support frame 1 between or beside the chili pepper plants, ensuring that the support plate 2 is in full contact with the ground. Use a hammer to drive the ground nails 3 into the ground through the holes on the support plate 2 until they are firmly in place, completing the overall foundation fixation of the support frame. Determine the location where support is needed based on the current height of the chili pepper plants. Hold one or more handles 11 and rotate the threaded rod 10 counterclockwise to disengage its end from the anti-tipping support rod 7, releasing the lock on the slider 8. Slide the slider 8 up or down, moving the hollow carbon steel pipe 12, the metal stem-holding plate 13, and the entire stem-holding assembly connected to its right end until the silicone clip 19 area on the metal stem-holding plate 13 aligns with the stem part of the plant that needs support. After the position is determined, rotate the handle 11 clockwise to move the threaded rod 10 forward, so that its rear end presses tightly against the anti-tipping support rod 7, using friction to firmly lock the slider 8 at that height. In this way, the height of each stem-holding assembly can be adjusted independently and precisely to adapt to the needs of different branches or adjacent plants. Then, place the chili stem requiring support into the opening of the metal stem-hugging plate 13. Pick up the side buckle plate 16, align its left-end T-shaped magnet 17 with the T-shaped groove 15 on the metal stem-hugging plate 13, and snap it in. Upon release, under magnetic force, the side buckle plate 16 and the metal stem-hugging plate 13 automatically attract each other, forming a closed loop around the stem. During this process, the silicone clip 19 on the side buckle plate 16, pushed by the stainless steel spring 18, gently adheres to one side of the stem. The other side of the stem contacts the micro-airbag 14 inside the metal stem-hugging plate 13. The stem is gently held between the elastic silicone clip 19 and the compressible micro-airbag 14. This design ensures that the clamping force is flexible and adaptive. When the plant stem sways in the wind, the spring and air bladder effectively cushion and absorb energy. As the stem grows thicker, it compresses the micro-air bladder 14 and slightly opens the silicone clip 19 (compression spring), automatically creating more space and avoiding the strangulation caused by traditional rigid binding. As the chili plant grows, the threaded rod 10 can be loosened at any time according to the above steps, and the height of the slider 8 can be adjusted to ensure that the support point is always in the most effective position.
