Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a stump pulling device, in particular to a dead stump pulling device for forest breeding and a method of using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] Forest breeding, as a technology system with genetic improvement as the core, is committed to breeding forest varieties with strong adaptability, rapid growth and outstanding stress resistance through systematic breeding, hybrid breeding and molecular marker assisted selection. This industry is based on genetics, combines with tree science, forest ecology and other disciplines, and forms a complete technical chain covering germplasm resource collection, genetic determination and variety breeding.

[0003] In forest management practice, the removal of dead stumps is a key link to maintain the health of the stand. Studies in the Qinling forest area have shown that the long-term presence of dead stumps can cause multiple ecological risks: their loose wood structure and low water content make them easy channels for ground fires to spread to tree crown fires; the release of organic matter during decomposition can change the structure of soil microbial communities; and some wood-boring pests such as longhorn beetles use stumps as overwintering sites. Although tree species with strong natural regeneration capacity can use some live stumps for root sprouting, the decayed state of dead stumps makes them lose their ecological value and may become breeding grounds for pests and diseases. The current Forest Felling and Regeneration Regulations clearly require that the felling height be controlled at 0-5 cm, aiming to reduce fire risk levels and pest and disease base to improve overall forest performance.

[0004] The existing electric push rod type stump pulling device can achieve stump pulling through reaction force, but in actual application it faces significant technical bottlenecks. The device is designed based on the principle of leverage, applying a vertical upward pulling force to the stump through an electric push rod, and its work efficiency is highly dependent on the fit of the clamping mechanism and the stump. However, there are significant differences in the shape of stumps in the forest area: the diameter range spans a large range, and some broadleaf stumps have an abnormally large maximum diameter due to root plate expansion; the loose surface of decaying stumps makes mechanical clamping prone to causing surface peeling and reducing the coefficient of friction. Therefore, the existing device has limitations in actual application: multiple sets of replaceable clamps are needed for stumps of different diameters, increasing the complexity of the operation.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an auxiliary handle 16, the support frame 1 side is provided with the auxiliary handle 16.

[0037] The use method of the device is as follows: first, the staff moves the device to the dead stump through the auxiliary handle 16 on the side of the support frame 1, so that the clamping mechanism 5 is above the stump. At this time, the symmetrical moving wheels 2 arranged at the bottom of the support frame 1 facilitate the movement of the device, and the ground pegs 14 slidably connected to the side of the support frame 1 have flat heads at the upper ends and sharp heads at the lower ends. The staff inserts the ground pegs 14 into the soil by treading the flat head part of the ground pegs 14, thereby fixing the support frame 1 and improving the stability of the device during the removal of the stump. Then, the hydraulic rod 3 is depressurized, so that the lifting rod 4 of the clamping mechanism 5 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to move downward through the action of the hinge seat at the movable end of the hydraulic rod 3, so that the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 are sleeved on the periphery of the dead stump. The disc 6 of the clamping mechanism 5 is rotationally connected to the end of the lifting rod 4, and the disc 6 is connected with the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 in a semicircular combination through the flexible chain 7. According to the different diameters of the stump, the gear 10 rotationally connected to the end of the first toothed clamp 801 is rotated. Since the second toothed clamp 802 has a rack 11 extending from the end, the rack 11 is in meshing state with the gear 10, and rotating the gear 10 can elongate or retract the rack 11, thereby adjusting the closed annular area formed by the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 to adapt to the size of the stump to be removed. After the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 are tightly attached to the outside of the dead stump, the multi-ring chain 15 connected to the side of the first toothed clamp 801 is buckled with the buckle connected to the side of the second toothed clamp 802, thereby stabilizing the connection of the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802. Moreover, the teeth 9 are slidably inserted into the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802, and the teeth 9 are fixed by bolts, so the teeth 9 are replaceable. Different teeth 9 can be selected according to different plant woods, thereby improving the service life of the device. In addition, the threaded rod 12 is threaded into the middle of the disc 6, and the handle 13 is fixed to the upper end of the threaded rod 12. The threaded rod 12 can be moved downward by rotating the handle 13. After the clamping mechanism 5 clamps and fixes the dead stump, the threaded rod 12 can be rotated and inserted into the stump, thereby further improving the fixing effect on the stump and the removal effect on the stump. The flexible chain 7 connected to the ends of the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 is shorter, and the flexible chain 7 connected to the middle of the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 is longer, so that the horizontal height of the ends of the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 is higher than that of the middle. When the device is started, the clamping mechanism 5 will move upward to remove the stump. From the perspective of mechanics, when the annular formed by the first toothed clamp 801 and the second toothed clamp 802 is in an inclined state, a force along the axis of the stump and a normal force perpendicular to the surface of the stump will be generated on the contact surface of the annular.In the process of pulling out the stump, the axial component force directly acts on the stump, providing the main power for pulling it out of the soil; and the normal component force helps to increase the friction between the clamp and the stump, according to the friction formula Ff=μFN (where Ff is the friction force, μ is the friction coefficient, and FN is the normal pressure), the increase of the normal component force makes the friction force increase accordingly, thereby enhancing the clamping stability of the clamp to the stump, effectively preventing the stump from slipping out of the clamp during the pulling process. Finally, the staff holds the auxiliary handle 16 and starts the hydraulic rod 3, the movable end of the hydraulic rod 3 drives the middle part of the lifting rod 4 through the hinged seat, the lifting rod 4 is lifted by using the lever principle, the lifting rod 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to move upward, and the clamping mechanism 5 pulls out the dead stump. Thus, the pulling operation of the dead stump is completed.

[0038] The above description is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the present application, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
