Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree support technology, specifically to a tree support and reinforcement device. Background Technology

[0002] Tree support and reinforcement devices are specialized equipment used to support tree branches and trunks, stabilize tree roots or the main body of the tree. Their core function is to solve problems such as falling, tilting, and branch breakage caused by the tree's own growth characteristics (such as weak trunks and unstable root systems) or external environmental influences (such as strong winds, heavy rains, and loose soil), ensuring the normal growth of trees and reducing safety hazards.

[0003] In the existing technology, most existing tree support and reinforcement devices adopt a fixed-size clamping structure, which cannot flexibly adjust the clamping range according to the diameter of the tree. When facing newly planted seedlings with a small diameter, the clamping is too loose, which can easily lead to unstable support and make the tree easily sway and tilt due to wind. When facing mature trees or branches with a large diameter, the clamping is too tight, which can squeeze the bark, damage the phloem tissue, and hinder the transport of nutrients and water. Long-term use will also result in rigid restraint because it cannot adapt to the diameter changes of the tree after it grows, which will affect the normal growth of the tree. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tree support and reinforcement device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing tree support and reinforcement devices mostly adopt fixed-size clamping structures, which cannot flexibly adjust the clamping range. For newly planted seedlings with small diameters, the clamping is too loose, which can easily lead to unstable support and make the trees sway and tilt due to wind. For mature trees or branches with large diameters, the clamping is too tight, which can squeeze the bark, damage the phloem tissue, and hinder the transport of nutrients and water. Moreover, in long-term use, it cannot adapt to the diameter changes of trees after growth, forming rigid constraints and affecting the normal growth of trees.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tree support and reinforcement device, including a U-shaped plate and a fixing block installed on the top of the U-shaped plate. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the rear end of the fixing block, and a guide block is connected to the lower front end of the fixing block. A threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the fixing block and is connected to the rotating plate. A trapezoidal block is rotatably connected to the front end of the threaded rod and is slidably connected to the guide block. A push wheel is connected to the front end of the trapezoidal block. Side plates are connected to the left and right sides of the top of the U-shaped plate. An adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the side of the side plate near the push wheel. A pulley is rotatably connected to the rear end of the adjusting plate and is movably connected to the trapezoidal block. Two connecting plates are connected to the rear side of the top of the U-shaped plate, and a spring is connected between the two connecting plates. A pulley is rotatably connected to the front end of the adjusting plate.

[0006] Based on the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the rotation of the rotating plate drives the threaded rod to rotate, the rotation of the threaded rod drives the trapezoidal block to move on the guide block, the movement of the trapezoidal block pushes the first pulley to make the adjusting plate rotate, the rotation of the adjusting plate drives the connecting plate to stretch the spring, so that the second pulley clamps the tree.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the top left and right sides of the U-shaped plate are connected to fixed cylinders, and the top of the fixed cylinders is rotatably connected to a circular plate.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the circular plate is internally threaded with a screw rod, and a knob is connected to the top of the screw rod.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a movable cylinder is connected to the outer end of the screw, the movable cylinder is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder, and a conical head is connected to the bottom of the movable cylinder.

[0010] Based on the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the knob drives the screw to rotate, and the screw drives the circular plate to rotate on the fixed cylinder.

[0011] In this preferred embodiment of the technical solution, the screw rotation drives the movable cylinder to move within the fixed cylinder, and the movable cylinder drives the conical head to insert into the ground. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. The threaded rod can be adjusted by rotating the rotating plate, allowing the pulley two to closely conform to the contours of trees of different diameters. This provides stable support without hard contact, preventing bark damage and nutrient obstruction, effectively protecting tree growth. No complicated tools are required; a single person can operate the device. It is suitable for planting new trees, correcting leaning trees, and can also be used for wind reinforcement in typhoon-prone areas and supporting the branches of aging trees. It ensures support stability, preventing trees from falling or further tilting, without hindering subsequent tree growth, significantly improving the device's ease of operation, adaptability, and practical value.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a tree support and reinforcement device, including a U-shaped plate 1 and a fixing block 21 installed on the top of the U-shaped plate 1. A rotating plate 22 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the fixing block 21, and a guide block 23 is connected to the lower front end of the fixing block 21. A threaded rod 24 is threadedly connected inside the fixing block 21 and is connected to the rotating plate 22. A trapezoidal block 25 is rotatably connected to the front end of the threaded rod 24 and is slidably connected to the guide block 23. A push wheel 26 is connected to the front end of the trapezoidal block 25. Side plates 27 are connected to the left and right sides of the top of the U-shaped plate 1. An adjusting plate 28 is rotatably connected to the side of the side plate 27 closest to the push wheel 26. A pulley 29 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the adjusting plate 28 and is movably connected to the trapezoidal block 25. Two connecting plates 210 are connected to the top rear side of the U-shaped plate 1, and a spring 211 is connected between the two connecting plates 210. The front end of the adjusting plate 28 is rotatably connected to a pulley 212. By rotating the rotating plate 22, the threaded rod 24 is rotated, so that the trapezoidal block 25 slides smoothly along the guide block 23. The trapezoidal block 25 pushes the adjusting plate 28 to rotate around the side plate 27 through the pulley 29. The pulley 212 at the front end of the adjusting plate 28 can conform to the contour of trees of different diameters, so as to achieve flexible adaptation of support position and force, and avoid hard contact damage to the bark. The overall structure can be adjusted by the threaded rod 24 without complicated tools, which is suitable for scenarios such as planting new trees and correcting tilted trees. It takes into account both support stability and tree growth protection, and greatly improves the practicality and adaptability of the device.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the rotating plate 22 rotates, causing the threaded rod 24 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 24 causes the trapezoidal block 25 to move on the guide block 23. The movement of the trapezoidal block 25 pushes the pulley 1 29 to make the adjusting plate 28 rotate. The rotation of the adjusting plate 28 causes the connecting plate 210 to stretch the spring 211, so that the pulley 212 clamps the tree. When the spring 211 is stretched, it can provide elastic buffer to avoid the pulley 212 from rigidly squeezing the tree. This ensures the stability of the clamping and can also adapt to the slight swaying of the tree, preventing long-term hard contact damage to the bark. At the same time, the cooperation between the connecting plate 210 and the spring 211 makes the rotation of the adjusting plate 28 more stable, improving the flexibility and protection of the support structure.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the top left and right sides of the U-shaped plate 1 are connected to a fixing cylinder 31, and the top of the fixing cylinder 31 is rotatably connected to a circular plate 32. The fixing cylinder 31 provides an installation base for subsequent ground fixing components. The circular plate 32 can rotate around the fixing cylinder 31 and can adjust the angle according to the flatness of the ground or installation requirements, so as to avoid the fixing components being unable to be inserted vertically due to the tilt of the ground, and improve the installation adaptability of the device in different terrains.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: a screw 33 is connected to the internal thread of the circular plate 32, and a knob 34 is connected to the top of the screw 33. The knob 34 provides a convenient force application point for adjusting the screw 33. The operator does not need to use additional tools such as wrenches to manually turn the knob 34 to drive the screw 33, which simplifies the operation process, reduces the need to carry tools, and improves the efficiency of device installation and adjustment.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: a movable cylinder 35 is connected to the outer end of the screw 33, the movable cylinder 35 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 31, and a conical head 36 is connected to the bottom of the movable cylinder 35. The movable cylinder 35 can slide along the fixed cylinder 31 to ensure vertical lifting and lowering, and avoid deviation that would prevent the conical head 36 from being accurately inserted into the ground. The conical head 36 is sharp and can easily penetrate the soil layer, reducing the resistance to insertion into the ground and providing reliable structural support for the bottom fixation of the device.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the knob 34 drives the screw 33 to rotate, and the screw 33 drives the circular plate 32 to rotate on the fixed cylinder 31. The knob 34, the screw 33, and the circular plate 32 form a linkage structure. When the knob 34 is rotated, the force is transmitted efficiently, ensuring that the circular plate 32 rotates synchronously and smoothly with the screw 33, avoiding jamming during the adjustment process, ensuring the continuity of the subsequent adjustment of the moving cylinder 35 and the conical head 36, and improving the smoothness of operation.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the screw 33 rotates to drive the moving cylinder 35 to move inside the fixed cylinder 31, and the moving cylinder 35 drives the conical head 36 to insert into the ground. After the conical head 36 penetrates into the ground, it can form a solid ground anchor structure, which tightly fixes the U-shaped plate 1 to the ground, resists the displacement or tilting of the device caused by external forces such as wind and rain, further strengthens the overall support stability, and adapts to the tree reinforcement needs in complex outdoor environments.

[0027] Working principle: First, the U-shaped plate 1 is fixed to the ground. The operator rotates the knob 34 on the top of the screw 33 inside the circular plate 32. The knob 34 drives the screw 33 to rotate synchronously. The screw 33 then drives the circular plate 32 to rotate around the fixing cylinders 31 on both sides of the top of the U-shaped plate 1 to adjust the height according to the flatness of the ground. As the screw 33 continues to rotate, the movable cylinder 35, which is threaded to it, slides smoothly along the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 31. The conical head 36 at the bottom of the movable cylinder 35 moves down accordingly. Finally, the sharp conical head 36 penetrates the soil layer and inserts into the ground, forming a firm ground anchor structure. This tightly fixes the U-shaped plate 1 to the ground, preventing the device from shifting or tipping over when supporting trees later. After the bottom is fixed, the tree clamping structure is adjusted. The rotating plate 22 at the rear end of the fixing block 21 is rotated. The rotating plate 22 drives the threaded rod 24 threaded inside the fixing block 21 to rotate. The threaded rod 24 pushes the trapezoidal block 25, which is rotated at the front end, so that the trapezoidal block 25 slides smoothly along the guide block 23 on the lower side of the front end of the fixing block 21. The sliding trapezoidal block 25 contacts and pushes the pulley 29 at the rear end of the adjusting plate 28, causing the adjusting plate 28 to rotate around the side plates 27 on both sides of the top of the U-shaped plate 1. During the rotation of the adjusting plate 28, it pulls the spring 211 between the two connecting plates 210 on the rear side of the top of the U-shaped plate 1, and the spring 211 is stretched to generate elastic tension. At the same time, the pulley 212 at the front end of the adjusting plate 28 gradually approaches the tree as the adjusting plate 28 rotates, eventually conforming to the contour of trees of different diameters and forming a clamp. The elastic buffering effect of the spring 211 can prevent the pulley 212 from rigidly squeezing the tree, ensuring the stability of the clamp and adapting to the slight swaying of the tree, preventing damage to the bark.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
