Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tree sap collection technology, and more particularly to a tree sap collection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Sap collection devices are installed on trees to collect sap over extended periods. Traditional sap collection devices are mostly open-type, making it impossible to achieve a sealed collection process. For some trees, a single sap collection session can last 8-10 hours. Without a sealed collection system, prolonged exposure to air can lead to oxidation, contamination, and spoilage of the sap. Furthermore, many require external fixing structures to secure the collection bags (buckets), making operation cumbersome and compromising on the effectiveness of the fixation. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 6 This invention provides a tree sap collection structure, comprising: The collection tube seat 20 has a first end and a second end. The surface of the first end of the collection tube seat 20 is used to contact the surface of the collection bag 10 and form a sealed connection. A tube opening channel 202 is formed on the collection tube seat 20. The tube opening channel 202 extends to the first end and the second end of the collection tube seat 20 and forms openings at both ends of the collection tube seat 20. The surface of the collection bag 10 is provided with a collection bag opening corresponding to the tube opening channel 202. The collection needle 30 has its rear end able to extend into the tube port channel 202 from the opening at the second end of the collection tube seat 20. The first plug 40 is disposed at the opening at the first end of the collection tube socket 20. The first plug 40 is movable relative to the collection tube socket 20 to reach a first position and a second position. When the first plug 40 is in the first position, it can open the opening at the first end of the collection tube socket 20. When the first plug 40 is in the second position, it can close the opening at the first end of the collection tube socket 20.

[0019] This invention provides a tree sap collection structure, comprising a collection tube seat 20, a collection needle 30, and a first plug 40. The collection tube seat 20 is mounted on a collection bag 10, and the collection bag 10 and the surface of the collection tube seat 20 form a sealed fit. A tube opening channel 202 is formed on the collection tube seat 20. During operation, the front end of the collection needle 30 is inserted into the collection hole on the tree, and the other end of the collection needle 30 extends from the second end of the collection tube seat 20 into the tube opening channel 202. Opening the first plug 40 opens the first end opening on the collection tube seat 20, thereby making the tube opening channel 202 communicate with the collection bag opening on the surface of the collection bag 10. Tree sap can enter the interior of the collection bag 10 from the collection bag opening through the collection needle 30 and the tube opening channel 202. After collection is completed, the first plug 40 can be used to seal the first end opening on the collection tube seat 20, and then the collection needle 30 can be removed from the collection tube seat 20. The tree sap remains in a sealed state throughout the entire collection process.

[0020] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first plug 40 forms a detachable connection with the rear opening of the collection needle tube 30.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first end opening of the collection tube seat 20 can be opened by pushing the first plug 40 with the collection needle 30, and the first end opening of the collection tube seat 20 can be closed by pulling out the collection needle 30 and causing the first plug 40 to move.

[0022] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first blockage 40 is a flexible component that can be elastically deformed.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first blockage 40 is a plastic component.

[0024] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first blockage 40 includes a first cylindrical portion 401, a second cylindrical portion 402, and a third cylindrical portion 403. The second cylindrical portion 402 is connected to the end of the first cylindrical portion 401, and the third cylindrical portion 403 is connected to the end of the second cylindrical portion 402. The diameter of the first cylindrical portion 401 is larger than the diameter of the second cylindrical portion 402, and the diameter of the third cylindrical portion 403 is smaller than the diameter of the second cylindrical portion 402. The third cylindrical portion 403 engages with the rear end opening of the collection needle tube 30 to form a detachable connection. The second cylindrical portion 402 engages with the opening at the first end of the collection tube seat 20. A notch 404 extending to the second cylindrical portion 402 is formed on the third cylindrical portion 403.

[0025] In this embodiment, a notch 404 extending to the second columnar portion 402 is formed on the third columnar portion 403. When it is engaged with the first end opening of the collection tube seat 20, the rear end opening of the collection needle tube 30 can still be kept open, preventing the rear end opening of the collection needle tube 30 from being closed when the connection is detached.

[0026] In addition, the structure of the first plug 40 in this embodiment allows the first plug 40 to move outward when the collection needle tube 30 is pulled out, and the pressure of the tree sap inside the collection bag 10 allows the first plug 40 to more smoothly seal the first end opening of the collection tube seat 20. Furthermore, the end face of the first cylindrical part 401 is pressed against the first end opening of the collection tube seat 20, resulting in better sealing.

[0027] In a further embodiment of this invention, there are multiple notches 404, which are arranged in a ring array on the third columnar portion 403.

[0028] In a further embodiment of this invention, the sap collection structure further includes a second plug (not shown in the figure), which can engage with the opening at the second end of the collection tube 20 to form a sealed connection.

[0029] In this embodiment, not only is a second plug provided at the front end of the collection tube seat 20, but a first plug 40 is also provided at the first end opening of the collection tube seat 20, which can make the overall sealing better.

[0030] In a further embodiment of this invention, the collection needle tube 30 includes a needle tube body 301, on which a needle tube disc 302 is formed. The needle tube disc 302 is used to press against and cooperate with the second end of the collection tube seat 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, the needle disc 302 can serve a positioning function.

[0032] In a further embodiment of this invention, the front end of the collection needle tube 30 is sharp, and an annular groove 303 is formed on the collection needle tube 30 near the rear end.

[0033] The annular groove 303 in this embodiment can be used to install a sealing ring.

[0034] In a further embodiment of this invention, the collection tube base 20 includes a front plate 204, a column 201, and a rear plate 203. The front plate 204 and the rear plate 203 are respectively disposed at both ends of the column 201. The tube channel 202 passes through the front plate 204, the column 201, and the rear plate 203 in sequence. The outer surface of the rear plate 203 is sealed and fitted to the surface of the collection bag 10. The diameter of the rear plate 203 is larger than the diameter of the front plate 204.

[0035] In a further embodiment of this invention, a recess 205 is formed on the outer surface of the pipe rear plate 203 at a position corresponding to the pipe channel 202.
