Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vine trellis systems lack stability and flexibility in direction, limiting the ability to adjust to the growth characteristics and preferences of vine plants.
Innovation Solution
A vine trellis system with adjustable and detachable rods and rope pulling members that form a net structure, allowing for customizable climbing directions and enhanced stability through a framework of interconnected rods and reinforcing ribs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the trellis is directly inserted into the soil, then the installation is simple, but the fixation is unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The trellis is divided into multiple rod components (first side rod, second side rod, first connecting rod, second connecting rod) that can be assembled together. These segmented rods are then collectively fixed to the garden bed through connecting members, providing both ease of installation and stable fixation.
Solution Approach 2:
Connecting members serve as intermediary components between the rod system and the garden bed. These connecting members provide the actual fixation mechanism that stabilizes the trellis while maintaining simple installation through modular connection.
2Device complexity
If a fixed trellis structure is used, then the structure is simple, but the climbing direction cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The trellis structure incorporates adjustable elements that allow the climbing direction to be dynamically changed. The rope pulling members can be repositioned along the rods, and the connecting rods can be adjusted, enabling the net structure to adapt to different climbing directions while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The rod system serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables direction adjustment, and allows for net formation. The same rods that form the basic structure also serve as guides for rope pulling members, providing multi-functionality without significantly increasing complexity.
3Ease of manufacture
If the rope pulling members are fixed at set positions, then the installation is easy, but the mesh pattern cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The positions of rope pulling members are made adjustable along the rods, allowing the mesh pattern parameters (spacing, size, shape) to be changed according to plant growth needs. The slot channels provide guided movement while maintaining easy installation through standardized positioning.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the trellis provides multiple climbing directions, then the adaptability to plant growth is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The trellis is segmented into multiple rods that can be independently positioned and configured. This segmentation allows the creation of multi-directional climbing paths while keeping each individual rod component simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The same rod components serve multiple directional functions. The connecting rods link different side rods, creating multi-directional support structures without requiring entirely separate components for each direction, thus maintaining structural efficiency.

AI summary
This application provides a vine trellis and a planting device. The first side rod and the second side rod of the vine trellis are provided on both sides of a garden bed of the planting device. The first connecting rod is connected between the first side rod and the second side rod. The second connecting rod is connected between the first side rod and the second side rod, or the second connecting rod is connected to the garden bed. The rope is threaded through a plurality of rope pulling members provided on the first side rod, the second side rod, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to form a net required for climbing.
