Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blueberry cultivation technology, specifically to an adjustable support for growing blueberries. Background Technology

[0002] Blueberries are a type of perennial deciduous and evergreen shrub or small shrub belonging to the genus Vaccinium in the family Ericaceae. The anthocyanins in blueberries can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve vision, which is very beneficial for people who frequently use their eyes.

[0003] An adjustable support frame is used when planting blueberries. This frame is simple in structure, low in cost, easy to install and use, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the blueberry plant. It is suitable for different varieties and growth stages of blueberries. In existing technology, this device typically consists of one or more vertical support rods. The support rods are equipped with adjustable buckles and ropes that can move up and down along the support rods to adjust the height to meet the needs of different growth stages of the blueberry plant. Some adjustable support frames also include crossbars between the support rods to increase stability and provide support for the blueberry branches. The support rods provide more support points, but the material strength is insufficient, making them prone to deformation and breakage under long-term load. This risk is even higher during the vigorous growth period of blueberry plants and the heavy load of fruit ripening. Therefore, aluminum alloy and hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are used for the support rods to improve tensile strength and avoid deformation under long-term load. Stainless steel bolts and anti-loosening washers are used at the connection points to eliminate assembly gaps. However, there are still some issues. The maximum adjustable height of the support cannot meet the needs of different growth stages of blueberry plants, resulting in a lack of support for the top branches, which are prone to drooping and breaking. The adjustment intervals are too large, making it impossible to precisely match the actual height of the plant, resulting in unreasonable support positions. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides an adjustable support for planting blueberries, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where the maximum adjustable height of the support cannot meet the needs of different growth stages of blueberry plants, resulting in a lack of support for the top branches, easy drooping and breakage, and the adjustment intervals are too large, making it impossible to accurately match the actual height of the plant, resulting in unreasonable support positions.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable support for growing blueberries, including a fixed frame, a lifting mechanism at the bottom of the fixed frame for adjusting the height of the fixed frame, sliding rods fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the fixed frame, and a fixing mechanism installed on the inner bottom of the sliding rods for supporting the fixed frame; the lifting mechanism includes a base plate installed at the bottom of the fixed frame and connected to the ground, a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner center of the base plate, a second connecting frame rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft, a first rotating shaft rotatably connected to the upper inner center of the base plate, a first connecting frame rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and a drive assembly installed on the bottom front side of the base plate.

[0006] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable support for planting blueberries is provided, which further includes: the driving component includes a second limiting block, the second limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the base plate, the inner wall of the second limiting block is rotatably connected to a threaded rod, the top of the second limiting block is fixedly connected to a turntable, the upper part of the outer wall of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a connecting block, the left and right sides of the outer wall of the connecting block are rotatably connected to a first limiting block, and the rear side of the outer wall of the first limiting block is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the second connecting frame.

[0007] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable support for growing blueberries is provided, which further includes: a top plate rotatably connected to the ends of both the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame, and multiple slide rails fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the top plate.

[0008] According to another aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention also provides an adjustable support for growing blueberries, further comprising: the fixing mechanism including a fixing block, the fixing block being slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rod, fixing plates being installed on both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the fixing block, and an installation component being installed on the upper middle part of the outer wall of the fixing plate.

[0009] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable support for growing blueberries is provided, which further includes: the mounting assembly includes a bolt, the bolt being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate, and a locking block being threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt, the locking block being installed inside the grooves on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the fixing block.

[0010] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable support for growing blueberries is provided, which further includes: a support foot threadedly connected to the middle of the bottom wall of the fixing plate, and a plurality of nuts threadedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the support foot.

[0011] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable support for growing blueberries is provided, which further includes: multiple support nets are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the inner side of the fixed frame, and handles are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the top support net.

[0012] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable support for growing blueberries is provided, which further includes: a plurality of sliders are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom wall of the bottom support net, and the sliders are slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: Rotating the turntable causes the threaded rod to rotate on the inner wall of the limiting block two, thereby causing the connecting block on the outer wall of the threaded rod to slide up and down. When the connecting block slides up and down, it causes the limiting block one to rotate on its outer wall. Since the limiting block one and the connecting frame two are fixedly connected, the rotation of the connecting block causes the connecting frame two to rotate on the outer wall of the rotating shaft two, so that the end of the connecting frame two moves upward. The connecting frame one is connected to the bottom plate and the top plate to prevent the top plate from tilting during the rising process, thereby causing the top plate to move upward and lift the fixed frame, so that the fixed frame slides on the outer wall of the fixed block. This allows the height of the fixed frame to be adjusted, which is convenient to operate, allows for smooth movement during adjustment, and can also adapt to the actual height of the plant to form a reasonable support position.

[0014] In this invention, the locking blocks are installed in the grooves on the left and right sides of the fixing blocks, and the holes on the outer wall of the fixing plates are aligned with the holes in the locking blocks. The fixing plates and fixing blocks are then installed together by screwing in the bolts. Support feet are installed at the bottom of both fixing plates, and the support feet are fixed to the bottom of the fixing plates by nuts. The multiple support feet distribute the overall weight of the fixing frame and the load of the blueberry plants to a larger area of ​​soil, preventing one foot from sinking into soft soil. At the same time, rotating the nuts can also adjust the height of the individual support feet, keeping the fixing frame vertical and preventing the center of gravity from shifting due to ground depressions and differences. This invention can adapt to complex terrain and improve the stability and environmental compatibility of the fixing frame. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this invention illustrates an adjustable support for growing blueberries according to one embodiment of the present invention. It includes a fixed frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2 at the bottom of the fixed frame 1 for adjusting its height, and sliding rods 3 fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the fixed frame 1. A fixing mechanism 4 is installed on the inner bottom of each sliding rod 3 to support the fixed frame 1. The lifting mechanism 2 includes a base plate 201 installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 1 and connected to the ground. A second rotating shaft 207 is rotatably connected to the inner center of the base plate 201, and a second connecting frame 205 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 207. A rotating shaft 206 is rotatably connected to the upper inner side of the base plate 201. A connecting frame 204 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 206. A drive assembly 208 is installed on the bottom front side of the base plate 201. The drive assembly 208 includes a limiting block 2085, which is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the base plate 201. A threaded rod 2084 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block 2085. A turntable 2081 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block 2085. A connecting block 2083 is threadedly connected to the upper outer wall of the threaded rod 2084. Limiting blocks 2082 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the connecting block 2083. The rear side of the outer wall of 2 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the connecting frame 205. The ends of both the connecting frame 1 204 and the connecting frame 205 are rotatably connected to a top plate 202. Multiple slide rails 203 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the top plate 202. When the turntable 2081 is rotated, the turntable 2081 will drive the threaded rod 2084 to rotate in the inner wall of the limiting block 2085. This rotation will cause the connecting block 2083 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2084 to move up and down along the thread. During the up and down movement of the connecting block 2083, it will cause the limiting block 1 2082 to rotate around its outer wall. Since the limiting block 1 2082 and the connecting frame 205 are fixedly connected... The connection method is combined so that the rotation of the connecting block 2083 will directly drive the second connecting frame 205 to rotate around the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 207. This rotation causes the end of the second connecting frame 205 to move upward, thereby driving the first connecting frame 204. The first connecting frame 204 is connected to the bottom plate 201 and the top plate 202. This structure can prevent the top plate 202 from tilting during the upward process. Therefore, the top plate 202 can move upward and lift the fixed frame 1, so that the fixed frame 1 can slide on the outer wall of the fixed block 401. In this way, the height of the fixed frame 1 can be easily adjusted to adapt to the actual height of the plant, thereby forming a reasonable support position.

[0029] In some examples, rotating the turntable 2081 causes the threaded rod 2084 to rotate on the inner wall of the second limiting block 2085, thereby causing the connecting block 2083 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2084 to slide up and down. When the connecting block 2083 slides up and down, it causes the first limiting block 2082 to rotate on its outer wall. Since the first limiting block 2082 and the second connecting frame 205 are fixedly connected, the rotation of the connecting block 2083 causes the second connecting frame 205 to rotate on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 207, causing the end of the second connecting frame 205 to move upward. The first connecting frame 204 is connected to the bottom plate 201 and the top plate 202 to prevent the top plate 202 from tilting during the upward movement, thereby causing the top plate 202 to move upward and lift the fixed frame 1, so that the fixed frame 1 can slide on the outer wall of the fixed block 401. This allows the height of the fixed frame 1 to be adjusted, which is convenient to operate, allows for smooth movement during adjustment, and can also adapt to the actual height of the plant to form a reasonable support position.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism 4 includes a fixing block 401, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rod 3. Fixing plates 402 are installed on both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the fixing block 401. An installation assembly 405 is installed on the upper middle part of the outer wall of the fixing plate 402. The installation assembly 405 includes a bolt 4052, which is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 402. A locking block 4051 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt 4052. The locking block 4051 is installed inside the grooves on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the fixing block 401. A support foot 403 is threadedly connected to the middle of the bottom wall of the fixing plate 402. Multiple nuts 404 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the support foot 403 at equal intervals. The locking block 4051 is designed to be installed in the grooves on the left and right sides of the fixing block 401. This design is to connect the fixing plate 402 to the fixing block. For a secure connection, the holes on the outer wall of the fixing plate 402 must be precisely aligned with the holes in the locking block 4051. Then, by screwing in the bolt 4052, a tight connection between the fixing plate 402 and the fixing block 401 is achieved. Each fixing plate 402 has a support foot 403 at its bottom. The support foot 403 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 402 by the nut 404. Multiple support feet 403 work together to evenly distribute the total weight of the fixing frame 1 and the load of the blueberry plant over a wider soil area, effectively preventing the problem of one foot sinking into soft soil. In addition, by rotating the nut 404, the height of each support foot 403 can be adjusted to ensure that the fixing frame 1 remains vertical and avoids the center of gravity shifting due to uneven ground. This design allows the fixing frame 1 to adapt to various complex terrains, thereby enhancing its stability and environmental adaptability.

[0031] In some examples, the locking block 4051 is installed in the grooves on the left and right sides of the fixing block 401, and the holes on the outer wall of the fixing plate 402 are aligned with the holes in the locking block 4051. The fixing plate 402 and the fixing block 401 are installed together by screwing in the bolt 4052. The bottom of both fixing plates 402 is equipped with support feet 403. The support feet 403 are fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 402 by nuts 404. The weight of the fixing frame 1 and the load of the blueberry plant are distributed to a larger area of ​​soil by multiple support feet 403, preventing one foot from sinking into the soft soil. At the same time, rotating the nut 404 can also adjust the height of the individual support feet 403, so that the fixing frame 1 remains vertical and avoids the center of gravity shift caused by ground depressions and differences. It can adapt to complex terrain and improve the stability and environmental compatibility of the fixing frame 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the fixing frame 1 has multiple support nets 7 fixedly connected at equal intervals on its inner side, the top support net 7 has handles 6 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of its outer wall, and the bottom support net 7 has multiple sliders 5 fixedly connected at equal intervals on its bottom wall. The sliders 5 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 203.

[0033] In some examples, the support net 7 is used to support the fruiting branches, reduce the contact between the fruit and the ground, and distribute the weight of the branches. When the top plate 202 is pushed upward, it will move forward a certain distance with the connecting frame 205, so that the slide rail 203 slides on the outer wall of the slider 5, dissipating resistance and preventing the top plate 202 from pushing over the fixing frame 1 when it moves forward.

[0034] Working principle: When the turntable 2081 is rotated, it drives the threaded rod 2084 to rotate within the inner wall of the limiting block 2085. This rotation further causes the connecting block 2083 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2084 to slide up and down along the thread of the threaded rod 2084. During the up-and-down sliding process, the connecting block 2083 causes the limiting block 2082 to rotate around its outer wall. Since the limiting block 2082 and the connecting frame 205 are connected by a fixed connection, the rotation of the connecting block 2083 will directly drive the connecting frame 2085 to rotate. 5. Rotating around the outer wall of the second pivot 207, this rotation causes the end of the second connecting frame 205 to move upward, thereby driving the first connecting frame 204. The first connecting frame 204 is connected to the bottom plate 201 and the top plate 202. This structure can prevent the top plate 202 from tilting during the upward process. Therefore, the top plate 202 can move upward and lift the fixing frame 1, so that the fixing frame 1 can slide on the outer wall of the fixing block 401. In this way, the height of the fixing frame 1 can be easily adjusted to adapt to the actual height of the plant, thereby forming a reasonable support position.

[0035] The locking block 4051 is designed to be installed in the grooves on the left and right sides of the fixing block 401. In order to fix the fixing plate 402 to the fixing block 401 together, the holes on the outer wall of the fixing plate 402 need to be aligned with the holes in the locking block 4051. By screwing in the bolt 4052, the fixing plate 402 and the fixing block 401 can be tightly connected. Each fixing plate 402 has a support foot 403 installed at the bottom. The support foot 403 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 402 by the nut 404. The multiple support feet 403 work together to distribute the overall weight of the fixing frame 1 and the load of the blueberry plant to a larger area of ​​the soil, effectively avoiding the problem of one foot sinking into the soft soil. In addition, by rotating the nut 404, the height of each support foot 403 can be adjusted to ensure that the fixing frame 1 remains vertical and avoids the center of gravity shift caused by uneven ground. This design allows the fixing frame 1 to adapt to various complex terrains, thereby improving its stability and environmental compatibility.
