Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horticulture or flower arrangement facilities technology, specifically to a retractable vine climbing trellis. Background Technology

[0002] In home gardening and plant cultivation, climbing plants such as pothos, ivy, and hoya are very popular. To ensure the healthy and aesthetically pleasing growth of these plants, climbing supports, or trellises, are typically provided. Traditional plant trellises are mostly single poles or decorative frames of fixed height, which have the following significant drawbacks: First, fixed-height trellises cannot adapt to the entire growth cycle of the plant. During the seedling stage, excessively tall trellises appear obtrusive and take up space; while after the plant enters its vigorous growth period, the existing trellis quickly becomes insufficient in height to meet its climbing needs, causing the vines to droop, affecting both aesthetics and plant health. Second, the angle and support range of existing trellises are usually not adjustable, making it impossible to personalize them according to the plant's growth form and the user's aesthetic preferences, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a climbing device specifically designed for vine plants that is flexibly adjustable in height, has a variable support angle, is easy to install, and is aesthetically pleasing and practical, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technologies mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to enable vine plants to grow healthily and beautifully, this utility model provides a retractable vine climbing trellis.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a retractable vine climbing frame includes at least two levels of coaxially connected and axially retractable poles. The poles are divided into a base tube with the largest diameter and at least one telescopic tube nested inside it. A support frame is fixed to the top of each pole section. The support frame includes a fixing ring and at least two support rods that are evenly distributed along the circumference of the fixing ring and extend obliquely upward. A connector is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base tube for insertion into the cultivation substrate for fixation.

[0006] Preferably, each support frame has three support rods, and the included angle between adjacent support rods is 120 degrees.

[0007] Preferably, the dimensions of each of the support frames increase progressively from top to bottom.

[0008] Preferably, the rotation between adjacent rods is adjustable.

[0009] Preferably, the connector has a sleeve portion that fits onto the lower end of the base tube, and the lower end of the sleeve portion contracts axially to form a connector tip.

[0010] Preferably, the outer circumferential walls of the sleeve portion and the insertion tip portion are each provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs extending along the axial direction.

[0011] Preferably, the rod is made of metal, and the support frame and the connector are made of plastic.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the support rod is rough, or it is covered with a coating layer that facilitates plant entanglement and climbing.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the topmost telescopic tube is sealed or has a decorative top cover.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. Height adjustable: Through a multi-level coaxially connected and axially extendable rod structure, the height of the climbing frame can be flexibly adjusted. During the seedling stage, the height of the climbing frame can be shortened to avoid abruptness and save space. As the plant grows, the climbing frame can be extended step by step to always provide sufficient climbing support for the vines, prevent them from drooping due to insufficient height, ensure the healthy growth of the plant and maintain good ornamental value. 2. Adjustable shape: The support frame at the top of each pole provides climbing points for the vines in multiple directions. Through the adjustable rotation design between adjacent poles, the relative angle of each level of support frame can be changed, so as to flexibly adjust the support direction and overall shape according to the actual growth form of the plant and the user's aesthetic preferences, resulting in a high degree of personalization; 3. Stable structure: The specially designed connector at the bottom of the base tube can be easily and firmly inserted into the cultivation substrate, providing a stable support base for the entire climbing frame. The design of the sleeve, tip, and reinforcing ribs on the connector further ensures smooth insertion and firmness in the soil, preventing shaking or tipping. 4. Stable support: The surface of the support rod is rough or has a special coating, which effectively increases friction, making it easier for vines to twine and climb, and providing a reliable support for plant growth; 5. Aesthetically pleasing, practical, and highly adaptable: The design of the support frame with its dimensions gradually increasing from top to bottom creates an aesthetically pleasing tower-shaped structure when the climbing frame is extended, resulting in a strong sense of layering. The top can be sealed or fitted with a decorative cap, enhancing the overall aesthetics and integrity. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a retractable vine trellis includes at least two levels of coaxially connected and axially extendable poles. Each pole consists of a base tube 1 with the largest diameter and at least one telescopic tube 2 nested within it. A support frame 3 is fixed to the top of each pole section. The support frame 3 includes a fixing ring 3.1 and at least two support rods 3.2 evenly distributed along the circumference of the fixing ring 3.1 and extending upwards at an angle. A connector 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base tube 1 for insertion into the cultivation substrate for fixation. This embodiment provides a trellis solution with flexibly adjustable height. Through the design of at least two levels of coaxially connected and axially extendable poles, users can freely adjust the overall height of the trellis according to the different height requirements of vine plants from seedling to maturity, resolving the contradiction of fixed trellises being "too high when young and too low when mature." Simultaneously, each pole level is equipped with a support frame 3, ensuring that plants receive immediate and effective multi-directional climbing support at any height, preventing vines from hanging haphazardly in the air. The bottom connector 4 offers the convenience of one-click installation; simply insert it into the soil of the flowerpot for quick and secure fixation, greatly simplifying the installation process.

[0022] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, each support frame 3 has three support rods 3.2, and the included angle between adjacent support rods 3.2 is 120 degrees. The three support rods 3.2 form a classic triangular stable structure, which mechanically ensures that the support frame has optimal stability and uniform load-bearing in all directions, so that the vines can receive equally strong support no matter which direction they start climbing. The three-point support achieves optimal material utilization while ensuring strength, making the structure both lightweight and sturdy.

[0023] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the dimensions of each support frame 3 increase progressively from top to bottom. This structure allows the trellis to form a conical or tower-shaped structure, which serves two purposes: firstly, it conforms to the mechanics of plant growth, as the larger support frame at the bottom provides a wider support base for the weight of the longer vines above, ensuring the stability of the overall structure and preventing it from tipping over due to its top-heavy nature; secondly, it is aesthetically pleasing, as this layered structure imitates the shape of a natural pagoda, creating a strong sense of visual hierarchy and harmony, and even when not completely covered by plants, it is a beautiful horticultural decoration in itself.

[0024] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the adjacent poles are rotatably adjustable. This structure allows for personalized customization of the support direction. Users can rotate each level of the poles to orient the support frame 3 to avoid obstacles, more precisely guide the vine's growth direction, or adjust the shape according to personal aesthetics to create an artistic form. This feature enhances the product's flexibility and adaptability, enabling it to meet different user scenarios and aesthetic needs.

[0025] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the connector 4 has a sleeve portion 4.1 that fits onto the lower end of the base tube 1. The lower end of the sleeve portion 4.1 tapers axially to form a connector tip 4.2. The sleeve portion 4.1 securely engages with the base tube 1, ensuring effective force transmission from the rod to the connector 4. The design of the connector tip 4.2 minimizes insertion resistance, allowing users to easily insert the climbing frame into the cultivation substrate without tools, greatly improving installation convenience and user experience.

[0026] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, several reinforcing ribs 4.3 extending axially are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential walls of the sleeve part 4.1 and the insertion tip part 4.2. The reinforcing ribs 4.3 significantly enhance the structural strength and bending resistance of the insertion part 4, making it less prone to deformation or breakage when inserted into hard soil; secondly, they act as "barbs" or anti-rotation, effectively resisting shaking and loosening caused by plant growth or external force, ensuring that the climbing frame maintains a stable and upright state for a long time.

[0027] In this embodiment, the pole is made of metal, while the support frame 3 and connector 4 are made of plastic. The metal pole ensures the strength and durability of the entire trellis's core framework, capable of withstanding the increasing weight of the vines. The plastic support frame 3 and connector 4 offer several advantages: firstly, they are easy to mold into complex shapes, reducing costs and making them suitable for mass production; secondly, the plastic material is more plant- and pot-friendly, unlike metal edges which can easily scratch plants or damage the inner walls of pots; and thirdly, the connector 4 avoids the problem of metal rusting and corroding in damp soil.

[0028] In this embodiment, the surface of the support rod 3.2 is rough, or it is covered with a coating layer that facilitates plant climbing. Whether the surface is rough or a coating layer is added, the functional treatment increases the friction of the support rod 3.2 surface, providing excellent gripping conditions for the aerial roots or twining stems of the vines, effectively preventing the plant from slipping off the smooth surface due to its own weight or slight external force, ensuring its firm climbing and healthy growth.

[0029] In the embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the top of the topmost telescopic tube 2 is sealed or has a decorative cap. Sealing or adding a decorative cap prevents dust, water, or insects from entering the topmost telescopic tube 2, protecting its internal structure. At the same time, the aesthetically pleasing cap eliminates the sharpness of the tube opening, enhancing safety, and serves as a perfect visual finish, improving the overall sophistication of the product.

[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Other obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
