Description

[0001] The utility model relates to agriculture, namely to fastenings for tying lines for plants in closed ground, for example, in the form of fastenings to rectangular profiles of a greenhouse with the ability to hold rods for tying up plants in closed ground.

[0002] Staking indoor plants offers numerous benefits. It helps prevent stem bending, provides stability for the weight of the fruit, prevents pest damage, facilitates watering, and improves nutrient availability, contributing to high yields.

[0003] From the “Set for tying up plants in a greenhouse” (available at the URL link: https: / / agrotexno.ru / product / nabor-dlya-podvyazki-rasteniy-v-teplice / ) a fastening for tying up lines for plants in closed ground is known in the form of a bracket with flat mounting pads for fixing to the greenhouse profile with self-tapping screws.

[0004] A disadvantage of the known fastening is the inability to hold the garter lines of indoor plants, which during operation can lead to the line twisting, weakening the fixation of the plant and damaging it.

[0005] From the “System for tying up plants in a 4 m greenhouse” (available at the URL link: https: / / urres.ru / catalog / teplicy-polikarbonat / komplektuyushchie_dlya_teplits / 4099 / a fastening for tying up lines for plants in closed ground is known in the form of a plate with two holes for fixing to the greenhouse profile with self-tapping screws along the edges of the plate.

[0006] The disadvantages of the known fastening include the inability to hold the plate in relation to the greenhouse profile, which during operation can lead to the garter line swinging, tearing off from the fastening and damaging the plant.

[0007] The closest analogue (prototype) was chosen to be a fastener for tying up lines for indoor plants, known from the “Plant tying up line for Botanic greenhouses” (available at the URL link: https: / / mirteplic.ru / catalog / dopoborudovanie_dlya_teplits / liniya_dlya_podvyazki_rasteniy_dlya_teplits_botanic / ) in the form of a main plate with a slot for tying up lines for indoor plants, a mounting hole for fixing to the greenhouse profile and a stop plate formed by bending the main plate with a slot.

[0008] The disadvantages of the prototype include the possible rotation of the fastening for the tying lines of closed ground plants in relation to the greenhouse profile, caused by the possible rotation of the thrust plate around the axis of fixation to the greenhouse profile, which during operation can lead to the tying line swinging, tearing off from the fastening and damaging the plant.

[0009] The objective of the claimed utility model is to develop a fastening that would eliminate the shortcomings identified in the prior art.

[0010] The technical result of the claimed utility model is the creation of a fastening for the garter lines of indoor plants, which ensures the reliable retention of the garter lines of indoor plants relative to the profile of the structure to which it is attached, preventing them from twisting.

[0011] The technical result is achieved in that the fastening for the garter lines of closed ground plants in the form of a main plate with a slot for passing the garter line, a mounting hole for fixing to the profile of the structure and a stop plate formed by bending the main plate with a slot, characterized in that the slot for passing the garter line is made from one of the faces of the main plate connected to the stop plate, to the center of the main plate with a further lateral displacement from the center of the main plate in the direction opposite to the stop plate, with the formation of a groove for preventing the garter line from jumping out, and the stop plate is formed by cutting and bending a part of the main plate at the end of the main plate with the formation of a mounting plate with a mounting hole, and in the groove for preventing the garter line from jumping out, a cutout is formed for receiving and holding a locking ring, the mounting plate is located in the plane of the main plate,and the thrust plate is located in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the main plate.,

[0012] In a possible embodiment, the cutout for receiving and holding the retaining ring is made half the thickness of the main plate.

[0013] In a possible variant, the base plate, thrust plate and mounting plate are rounded at the free ends and at the places where they adjoin each other.

[0014] In a possible embodiment, the cutout for receiving and holding the locking ring is designed to hold an open locking ring with three locking protrusions.

[0031] Implementation of a utility model

[0032] The fastening for the garter lines of closed ground plants is made in the form of a single part at the manufacturer's plant and consists of a main plate 1 (the main one taking into account the presence of auxiliary plates in the fastening - a stop plate 2 and a mounting plate 11), in which a slot 4 is made for the passage of the garter line 5, a stop plate 2 and a mounting plate 11 with a mounting hole (not shown as a separate item) for fixing to the profile of the structure, for example, using a bolted connection 12. The main plate 1, the stop plate 2 and the mounting plate are rounded at the free ends and at the places where they adjoin each other, i.e. the places where the thrust plate 2 departs from the main plate 1 and the mounting plate 11 departs from the thrust plate 2 are made rounded 9, and also the corners at the ends of the slot 4, for the line 5 of tying up the plants in closed ground, adjacent to the main plate, are made rounded and the corners at the edges of the thrust 2, main 1 and mounting 11 plates are made rounded.

[0033] In this case, the thrust plate is formed by bending the main plate 1, the slot 4 is made from one of the faces of the main plate 1, connected (adjacent to the thrust plate 2) with the thrust plate 2, to the center of the main plate 1 with further lateral displacement from the center of the main plate 1 in the direction opposite to the thrust plate 2, with the formation of a groove (not designated by a separate position) to prevent the jumping out of the garter line 5, for example, made in the form of rods.

[0034] The thrust plate 2 is formed by cutting (in Fig. 2, an open cutout / slot 3 is shown in the thrust plate 2 for forming a part of the mounting plate 11 by bending) and bending a part of the main plate 1 at the end of the main plate 1 to form a mounting plate 11 with a mounting hole (not shown as a separate position, a bolted connection 12 is located in it).

[0035] A notch 6 is formed in the groove, for example by a groove, for receiving and holding a retaining ring 7. The retaining ring is necessary for holding the tying line 5 of indoor plants, preventing it from twisting and damaging the plant. The notch 6 for receiving and holding the retaining ring 7 is made half the thickness of the main plate 1 (for example, with a main plate thickness of 2 mm, the thickness of the notch is 1 mm, and the plate has a thickness of 1 mm at the location of the notch 6 for receiving and holding the retaining ring 7). This ensures reliable retention of the retaining ring, while maintaining the strength characteristics of the main plate 1, for example, eliminating its deflection under the weight of the plants.The cutout 6 for receiving and holding the locking ring 7 is designed with the possibility of holding the locking ring 7 with, for example, three locking projections 8; this design ensures an even more reliable holding of the tying lines of closed ground plants relative to the profile of the structure and increases the likelihood of preventing its rotation.

[0036] In this case, the mounting plate 11 is located in the plane of the main plate 1, and the stop plate 2 is located in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the main plate 1. The specified design eliminates the rotation of the fastening for the tying lines of closed ground plants relative to the profile of the structure 10, since the stop plate eliminates the rotation of the mounting plate 11, and the mounting plate 11 eliminates the rotation of the stop plate 2, which, in turn, eliminates the rotation of the main plate 1 and, as a result, prevents the rotation of the line 5 of the tying line of closed ground plants and damage to the plant.

[0037] As an example of the implementation of the fastening for the tying lines of greenhouse plants, an example of its installation on the profile of a greenhouse is given. The developed fastening for the tying lines of greenhouse plants is applied to the profile of the greenhouse 10, holding it by the rounded parts 9 (the rounded parts 9 during installation allow the forces necessary for holding and pressing against the profile of the greenhouse 10 to be applied to the fastening without damaging the skin of the user), wherein the main 1 and mounting 11 plates are adjacent to one plane (the first plane) of the profile of the greenhouse 10, and the stop plate 2 with a cutout 3 is adjacent to another plane of the profile of the greenhouse 10 (the second plane, perpendicular to the first plane).A hole is drilled in the greenhouse profile 10 coaxial with the mounting hole in the mounting plate 11 and a fastening for the tying lines of closed ground plants is attached with a bolted connection 12, for example, in the form of a bolt with a washer, fixed with a nut on the other side (opposite to the side adjacent to the main plate 1) of the greenhouse profile 10. Next, a locking ring 7 is inserted into the cutout 6 for receiving and holding the locking ring 7, for example, in the form of an open ring with three locking protrusions 8.Then, the tying line 5 is passed through the slot 4 in the main plate 1 into the groove to prevent the tying line 5 from jumping out and the tying line 5 is fixed (for example, by holding the tying line 5 in the form of a rod by engaging three locking projections 8 of the locking ring 7) in the slot in the tying line 5 in the locking ring 7, held (for example, due to the shape of the cutout 6 for the locking ring 7 or the spacer forces in the locking ring 7 directed into the cutout 6, or by making projections and recesses for the projections in the cutout 6 and the locking ring 7) in the cutout 6. In this way, a reliable retention of the tying lines of the closed ground plants relative to the profile of the structure to which it is attached is ensured, excluding the twisting of the tying lines of the closed ground plants.
