Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of citrus, and in particular to a shaping and pruning device for planting citrus fruits. Background Art

[0002] A general term for citrus plants. The fruit is rich in nutrients and has a unique taste. In addition to being eaten fresh, canned food, juice, jam, wine, and candied fruit have become the main fruit processing products. The citric acid, essential oils, and pectin extracted from it can be used as raw materials for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Orange peels and orange piths are Chinese medicinal materials. The flowers can be smoked to make scented tea and extract essences, and are also a good source of nectar. Citrus trees are evergreen all year round, with beautiful tree postures, and can also be used for viewing.

[0003] At present, in the process of citrus fruit cultivation, it is necessary to regularly prune the branches of the fruits, so pruning knives are often used. Conventional pruning knives are mostly composed of two lever arms hinged to each other and blades connected to the ends of the lever arms. In actual application, when the two lever arms are close to each other to shear the branches, since the branches are mostly round, the pruning knives themselves are prone to slide outward during the shearing process, which can easily cause incomplete shearing. Therefore, we have made improvements on this and proposed a shaping and pruning device for citrus fruit cultivation. Summary of the invention

[0011] Wherein, the surface of the protective cover is fastened to the shearing portion by bolts.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, an installation cavity is opened inside the connecting shaft, and a limit rod is slidably provided inside the installation cavity. Both sides of the surface of the limit rod are connected to springs fixed to the side walls of the connecting shaft. Under the action of the spring, the limit rod is naturally located inside the installation cavity.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, there are multiple installation cavities, and the multiple installation cavities are annularly and equidistantly distributed on the surface of the connecting shaft;

[0044] The anti-slip unit 3 includes a connecting shaft 31 fixed to the outside of the shearing portion 11, a limiting foot 32 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting shaft 31, and a fixing member 33 for fixing the limiting foot 32 is connected to the end of the limiting foot 32;

[0045] The anti-slip unit 3 further includes a meshing ring 34 disposed at the end of the limiting foot 32, and one side of the meshing ring 34 is meshed with a gear 35 movably connected to the surface of the shearing portion 11;

[0046] A motor 36 is fixed on the surface of the gear 35, and a protective cover 37 is fixed on the surface of the motor 36, wherein the surface of the protective cover 37 is fastened to the shearing portion 11 by a bolt 38, and a battery (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the surface of the first grip arm 1 and the second grip arm 2 for powering the motor 36. The anti-slip foot 37 can be disassembled by removing the bolt 38, thereby completing the disassembly of the motor 36 and meeting the subsequent replacement of the limit foot 32;

[0047] The connecting shaft 31 has an installation cavity 310 formed inside, and a limiting rod 311 is slidably provided inside the installation cavity 310. Both sides of the surface of the limiting rod 311 are connected to springs 312 fixed to the side walls of the connecting shaft 31. Under the action of the spring 312, the limiting rod 311 is naturally located inside the installation cavity 310.

[0048] There are multiple installation cavities 310, and the multiple installation cavities 310 are distributed in an annular manner and equidistantly on the surface of the connecting shaft 31;

[0049] A convex ball 313 is fixed to the inner end of the limiting rod 311;

[0050] A mounting groove 320 matching with the connecting shaft 31 is formed on the surface of the limiting foot 32, and a threaded boss 321 is formed at the edge of the mounting groove 320. A threaded cover 322 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded boss 321.
