Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tomato fixing technology, specifically relating to a fresh tomato vine hanging frame. Background Technology

[0002] Tomato, also known as tomato, is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Solanaceae family and the Solanum genus. It grows to a height of 0.6-2 meters, covered entirely with sticky glandular hairs, and has a strong odor. The stems are prone to lodging. The leaves are pinnately compound or deeply pinnately lobed. The inflorescence peduncle is 2-5 cm long, usually bearing 3-7 flowers. The calyx and corolla are radiate. The berry is oblate or nearly spherical, fleshy and juicy, with yellow seeds. Flowering and fruiting occur in summer and autumn. When tomato plants reach a certain height, they are prone to lodging if not supported and tied, which not only hinders field management but also reduces ventilation and light penetration, affecting photosynthesis. Supporting and tying the vines increases the space for leaf distribution, allows for more even distribution of stems and leaves, maximizes sunlight exposure, avoids shading, increases photosynthesis, accumulates more organic matter, improves ventilation, reduces pests and diseases, increases planting density, and improves yield per unit area.

[0003] Once the tomato seedlings have grown to a certain height, they need to be tied to a support pole to guide their growth and allow the tips to receive sunlight. Existing tying devices consist of a cloth rope, which workers use to tie a knot around the tomato vine and support pole to secure it. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN207369717U discloses a tomato vine climbing frame, specifically comprising multiple "X"-shaped supports evenly distributed along the planting rows of tomatoes. Each "X"-shaped support has a first and second horizontal bar detachably connected to it. The "X"-shaped support includes a first vertical bar, a second vertical bar, a connector, and a corrosion-resistant component. The connector includes an integrally formed first and second clamp, which form a connecting surface at their junction and a connecting end away from the connecting surface. The connecting end is secured by a fastening device. This tomato vine climbing frame has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has a long service life.

[0004] However, the stability of the "X" shaped support is poor, and the fresh tomato plants are prone to falling to one side, which can easily lead to the whole plant falling over. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, this application provides a hanging frame for fresh tomatoes to solve the problem of poor stability, the tendency of fresh tomato plants to fall to one side, and the risk of the entire plant falling over.

[0006] The technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems in this application is as follows:

[0007] A tomato vine support frame includes a support component, a connecting component, and a stabilizing component. The support component is inserted into the ground for securing the vines. The connecting component includes a housing and several connecting pieces, each of which extends obliquely into the housing and is detachably connected to one of the support components. At least two snap-fit ​​pieces are provided on the periphery of the housing. The stabilizing component is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​pieces for connecting two adjacent connecting components.

[0008] Preferably, the support assembly includes a fixing rod and a binding member disposed on the fixing rod. One end of the fixing rod is inserted into the field, and the other end is detachably connected to the sleeve. The binding member is used to bind and fix the vines.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the fixing rod away from the connecting assembly is provided with a soil insert, which is used for quick insertion into the field.

[0010] Preferably, the soil-inserting component includes a cone head, a sliding part, and a stepping part. One end of the sliding part is connected to the cone head, and the stepping part is located at the end of the cone head near the sliding part. The sliding part extends into the fixing rod and can slide along the extension direction of the fixing rod.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting rod is provided on the foot pedal, and a blind hole is provided at one end of the fixing rod near the cone head, the blind hole being connected to the limiting rod.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing rod has a through hole at one end near the connecting assembly, and the sleeve has a threaded hole. The through hole and the threaded hole are penetrated by a screw rod to connect the fixing rod and the sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the socket is made of any one of steel pipe, iron pipe, or iron rod.

[0014] Preferably, the binding material is any one of cable ties, Velcro, or buckles.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing rod is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the binding member is detachably disposed in the through holes.

[0016] The technical solution adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting up connecting components, the support components can be detachably connected to the socket, so that two adjacent support components and the ground form a stable triangle, thereby improving the stability of the support components and solving the problem that the plants of fresh tomatoes are prone to falling to one side due to poor stability, which can easily lead to the whole plant falling over.

[0018] 2. By setting up connecting components, the stabilizing components are detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​components, so that multiple connecting components in the horizontal direction form a whole. When a connecting component is subjected to an accidental load, the adjacent connecting components, driven by the stabilizing components, share part of the accidental load, thereby improving the stability of the whole and individual connecting components.

[0019] 3. It can be detached and connected by snap-fit ​​components and stabilizing parts. With multiple installation nodes, it is easier to set up and dismantle quickly. It can be better recycled after large-scale installation and use, and solves the problem of difficult transportation due to its excessive length. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a tomato vine support frame, including a support component 100, a connecting component 200, and a stabilizing component 300. The support component 100 is inserted into the ground for binding and fixing the vines. The connecting component 200 includes a housing 210 and a plurality of sockets 220. The sockets 220 extend obliquely into the housing 210, and each socket 220 is detachably connected to one of the support components 100. At least two snap-fit ​​components 230 are provided on the periphery of the housing 210. The stabilizing component 300 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​components 230 for connecting two adjacent connecting components 200.

[0030] Specifically, the support component 100 uses, but is not limited to, steel pipes, wooden sticks, etc., and one end is tapered. It is firmly inserted into the field by pressing it down. Buckles and binding ropes are used on the support component 100 to bind the vines. The housing 210 in the connecting component 200 uses, but is not limited to, a box-shaped or rod-shaped structure. At least three sockets 220 are provided, and the angle and distance between adjacent sockets 220 are the same. They are welded to the lower end face of the housing 210. The sockets 220 have the same shape as the support component 100, and their size is larger or smaller than the support component 100 (if larger than the support component 100, the support component 100 extends into the socket). Within 220, if the support component 100 is smaller, the support component 100 is fitted onto the socket 220; the snap-fit ​​component 230 is disposed on the periphery of the housing 210, preferably on opposite sides, and the snap-fit ​​component 230 and the socket 220 have the same structure, shape and size; the socket 220 is inclined, and the extension line of the inclined direction is located around the base of a tomato vine; the stabilizing component 300 is made of pipe or wood with the same size and shape as the support component 100. When the stabilizing component 300 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​component 230, the connection of two adjacent connecting components 200 is realized, so that multiple connecting components 200 form a whole and improve its stability.

[0031] The technical solution of the fresh tomato vine-hanging frame adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. By setting the connecting component 200, the support component 100 is detachably connected to the socket 220, so that the two adjacent support components 100 and the ground form a stable triangle, thereby improving the stability of the support component 100 and solving the problem that the fresh tomato plants are prone to falling to one side and causing the whole plant to fall over due to poor stability.

[0033] 2. By setting the connecting component 200, the stabilizing component 300 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​component 230, so that multiple connecting components 200 in the horizontal direction form a whole. When one connecting component 200 is subjected to an accidental load, the adjacent connecting components 200, driven by the stabilizing component 300, share part of the accidental load, thereby improving the stability of the whole and individual connecting components 200.

[0034] 3. The device is detachably connected via snap-fit ​​connector 230 and stabilizing component 300. Multiple installation nodes make it easier to set up and quick to install and dismantle. It can be better recycled after large-scale installation and use, and solves the problem of difficult transportation due to its excessive length.

[0035] Based on the above solution, the support assembly 100 includes a fixing rod 110 and a binding member 130 disposed on the fixing rod 110. One end of the fixing rod 110 is inserted into the field, and the other end is detachably connected to the sleeve 220. The binding member 130 is used to bind and fix the vines. The binding member 130 can be any one of cable ties, Velcro, or buckles.

[0036] An anti-slip element 120 is installed on the fixing rod 110 (the length of the fixing rod 110 is adjusted according to requirements; the length shown in the figure is shorter). The anti-slip element 120 is made of rubber sleeve, and its outer surface is evenly distributed with several rings of semi-circular protrusions. Each ring of the anti-slip element 120 has four semi-circular protrusions, and the spacing between adjacent rings is the same. A groove corresponding to the semi-circular protrusions is provided on the inner wall of the binding element 130. When the binding element 130 is engaged with the anti-slip element 120, the semi-circular protrusions align one-to-one. The binding is embedded in four grooves on the inner wall of the binding member 130; by setting semi-circular protrusions, the contact area between the binding member 130 and the anti-slip member 120 is increased, and the problem of the binding member 130 being rotated along the anti-slip member 120 after being engaged is prevented, which would cause the vine to be forcibly rotated and damaged; at the same time, it solves the problem that after the binding member 130 is engaged on the fixing rod 110, it is not horizontal, and after being pulled for a long time, the diameter of the binding member 130 is too large and it slides down along the fixing rod 110.

[0037] The binding component 130 includes a first clip 131 and a second clip 132. The first clip 131 uses, but is not limited to, a button buckle, Velcro, or binding tape. The second clip 132 uses, but is not limited to, a clasp, Velcro, or binding tape. The first clip 131 and the second clip 132 are connected by hard plastic to form a whole. The diameter of the first clip 131 is not less than the diameter of the fixing rod 110 and fits tightly with the anti-slip component 120 wrapped around the fixing rod 110. The diameter of the second clip 132 is slightly larger than the diameter of the vine at its thickest point, and the diameter of the second clip 132 can be adjusted to fit tightly with the vine.

[0038] In another embodiment of this application, the fixing rod 110 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the binding member 130 is detachably disposed in the through holes. The fixing rod 110 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the spacing between two adjacent through holes is the same. The binding member 130 is made of cloth strips, ropes, etc. The binding member 130 passes through the through holes and then binds the vines, solving the problem that if the binding member 130 is tied too loosely, it will slip off the fixing rod 110 under the pull of the vines.

[0039] In another embodiment of this application, a soil-inserting component 400 is provided at the end of the fixing rod 110 away from the connecting assembly 200. The soil-inserting component 400 is used for quick insertion into the field. The soil-inserting component 400 includes a cone head 410, a sliding part 420, and a stepping part 430. One end of the sliding part 420 is connected to the cone head 410, and the stepping part 430 is located at the end of the cone head 410 near the sliding part 420. The sliding part 420 extends into the fixing rod 110 and is capable of sliding along the extension direction of the fixing rod 110.

[0040] The inclination angle of the cone 410 is not less than 45° and not more than 80°. The foot pedal 430 and the sliding part 420 are connected by welding. The foot pedal 430 can at least be stepped on by one foot. The sliding part 420 has a diameter not greater than the inner diameter of the fixed rod 110. A limiting baffle is provided at the end of the sliding part 420 away from the foot pedal 430, and a limiting platform is provided at the end of the fixed rod 110 near the foot pedal 430. The limiting baffle and the limiting platform are in a limiting fit. The length of the sliding part 420 is not less than that of the cone. The length of 410; during installation, the end of the cone 410 is inserted into the field. Personnel step on or press the stepping part 430 to move the cone 410 downward, which at the same time drives the sliding part 420 to slide along the extension direction of the fixed rod 110, solving the problem of the cone 410 being difficult to press down. At the same time, the sliding part 420 slides along the extension direction of the fixed rod 110, which plays a guiding role. With the limiting baffle and the limiting platform, the problem of the sliding part 420 sliding out of the fixed rod 110 is solved.

[0041] In the above scheme, a limiting rod 431 is provided on the stepping part 430, and a blind hole 111 is provided at one end of the fixing rod 110 near the cone head 410. The blind hole 111 is connected to the limiting rod 431.

[0042] Four limiting rods 431 are provided, all distributed on the upper end face of the foot pedal 430 (the side away from the cone head 410), and the spacing between the limiting rods 431 is the same. Blind holes 111 are provided at the end of the fixed rod 110. The depth of the blind holes 111 is not less than the height of the limiting rods 431, and the spacing between the blind holes 111 is the same as the spacing between the limiting rods 431. After the foot pedal 430 is stepped on and the cone head 410 and the sliding part 420 have moved, the fixed rod 110 contacts the limiting rod 431 at one end under its own weight. By lifting the fixed rod 110 and adjusting its angle, the blind hole 111 is aligned with the limiting rod 431. Then, the fixed rod 110 is moved downward so that the limiting rod 431 extends into the blind hole 111, thereby solving the problem of the fixed rod 110 rotating on its own.

[0043] In another embodiment of this application, the fixing rod 110 has a through hole at one end near the connecting assembly 200, and the sleeve 220 has a threaded hole. A screw passes through the through hole and the threaded hole to connect the fixing rod 110 and the sleeve 220. The sleeve 220 can be any one of a steel pipe, an iron pipe, or an iron rod.

[0044] A through hole is provided on the fixing rod 110. If the cross-sectional dimension of the fixing rod 110 is smaller than that of the socket 220, the fixing rod 110 is inserted into the socket 220 (the socket 220 is a hollow tube, and the fixing rod 110 can be either a rod or a tube), so that the through hole coincides with the threaded hole, and then it is fixed with bolts, thus forming a detachable connection, which is simple and convenient to operate. Conversely, if the cross-sectional dimension of the fixing rod 110 is larger than that of the socket 220, the fixing rod 110 (one end of the fixing rod 110 is a hollow tube, and the socket 220 can be either a rod or a tube) is fitted onto the socket 220, so that the through hole coincides with the threaded hole, and then it is connected and fixed with bolts. The specific choice depends on the site requirements.

[0045] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
