[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-5 The present embodiment provides a sapling fixing device, which includes: a clamping ring 2, a positioning ring 1, a support rod 3 and a distance meter 4. The clamping ring 2 is located above the positioning ring 1, the two are coaxially distributed, and are connected by the support rod 3. The support rod 3 is a retractable rod. The radial dimension of the clamping ring 2 is smaller than the radial dimension of the positioning ring 1; the distance meter 4 is located on the positioning ring 1 and is used to measure the distance between adjacent sapling fixing devices.

[0044] When using the device to fix saplings, first place the positioning ring 1 to the correct position, and then install the support rod 3 and the clamping ring 2 on the positioning ring 1 in sequence. On the one hand, the positioning ring 1 is used to accurately locate the planting position of the sapling, and on the other hand, the positioning ring 1 and the clamping ring 2 are coaxially distributed, and the main rod of the sapling is clamped by the clamping ring 2, which can well ensure the verticality of the sapling; in addition, the retractable support rod 3 can also be extended as the sapling grows, so as to support and fix the sapling throughout its growth cycle without hindering the growth trend of the sapling.

[0045] To facilitate the planting of seedlings, the positioning ring 1 and the clamping ring 2 in this embodiment are both detachable structures, wherein the positioning ring 1 includes a positioning cabin 1-1 and a positioning rod 1-2, the two ends of the positioning cabin 1-1 are open, and different positioning rods 1-2 are slidably inserted on both sides, and the ends of the two groups of positioning rods 1-2 located outside the positioning cabin 1-1 are detachably connected, for example, bolt connection, snap connection and the like can be used; the clamping ring 2 includes a clamping cabin 2-1 and a clamping rod 2-2, the two ends of the clamping rod 2-2 are slidably inserted in different clamping cabins 2-1, and the ends of the two groups of clamping cabins 2-1 away from the clamping rod 2-2 are detachably connected, for example, bolt connection, snap connection and the like can be used.

[0046] The above technical solution can be used to position and fix the unplanted seedlings, and also to fix the planted seedlings. When a new seedling needs to be planted, the two positioning rods 1-2 are pulled out of the positioning cabin 1-1 and connected to form the positioning ring 1 into a ring shape, and then the positioning ring 1 is accurately placed at the planting position of the seedling, and the seedling is planted to the center of the positioning ring 1, and then the support rod 3 and the clamping rod 2-2 are installed above the positioning ring 1, and finally the clamping rod 2-2 is pulled out of the clamping cabin 2-1, and the two clamping cabins 2-1 are connected to form the clamping rod 2-2 into a ring shape, and the main stem of the seedling is clamped by the clamping rod 2-2; when the planted seedlings need to be fixed, the positioning ring 1 and the clamping ring 2 can be respectively surrounded on the outside of the planted seedlings, and then the two groups of positioning rods 1-2 are connected, and the two groups of clamping cabins 2-1 are connected, and finally the positioning ring 1 and the clamping ring 2 are connected by the support rod 3.

[0047] To facilitate the use and storage of the positioning ring 1 and the clamping ring 2, the above-mentioned positioning cabin 1-1, positioning rod 1-2, clamping cabin 2-1 and clamping rod 2-2 can all be constructed into an arc shape. In a preferred embodiment, when half of the two groups of positioning rods 1-2 are retracted into the positioning cabin 1-1, the arc formed by the three is a semicircular arc, and when the clamping rod 2-2 is retracted into the two groups of clamping cabins 2-1, the arc formed by the three is also a semicircular arc.

[0048] To prevent the positioning cabin 1-1 and the positioning rod 1-2 from slipping and separating, a first limit block 1-3 is provided on the inner walls at both ends of the positioning cabin 1-1, and a second limit block 1-4 is provided on the end of the positioning rod 1-2 located in the positioning cabin 1-1. The second limit block 1-4 abuts against the first limit block 1-3 to limit the end of the positioning rod 1-2 in the positioning cabin 1-1.

[0049] In order to prevent the clamping cabin 2-1 and the clamping rod 2-2 from slipping and separating, a third limit block 2-3 is provided on the inner wall of the clamping cabin 2-1 at one end facing the clamping rod 2-2, and fourth limit blocks 2-4 are respectively provided at both ends of the clamping rod 2-2. The fourth limit block 2-4 abuts against the third limit block 2-3 to limit the end of the clamping rod 2-2 in the clamping cabin 2-1.

[0050] The positioning cabin 1-1 and the clamping cabin 2-1 mentioned above can be cabins with connected ends, or cabins with disconnected ends, for example, they can be partially hollow and partially solid structures, which can be specifically set according to actual usage requirements.

[0051] When the above device is used to fix the sapling, as the sapling grows, the support rod 3 will extend as the clamping ring 2 that clamps the sapling moves upward. Due to the change in the relative position of the clamping ring 2 and the positioning ring 1, the vertical inclination angle of the support rod 3 needs to change accordingly. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two ends of the support rod 3 are respectively hinged to the clamping ring 2 and the positioning ring 1. When the support rod 3 is hinged to the clamping ring 2 and the positioning ring 1, its support stability will be slightly reduced. Therefore, in this embodiment, an arc-shaped positioning groove 1-5 is provided on the top surface of the positioning ring 1. A reinforcement rod 5 is in contact with the arc-shaped positioning groove 1-5. The top end of the reinforcement rod 5 is ball-jointed with the support rod 3, and the bottom end can move along the extension direction of the arc-shaped positioning groove 1-5. The triangular structure formed by the top surface of the positioning ring 1, the reinforcement rod 5 and the support rod 3 is used to improve the support stability.

[0052] However, due to the changes in the length and vertical inclination of the support rod 3, the inclination of the reinforcement rod 5 also needs to change. In order to balance the supporting stability and adjustment flexibility of the reinforcement rod 5, this embodiment has a plurality of first elastic members 6 distributed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped positioning groove 1-5. The other end of the first elastic member 6 is connected to the wheel frame 7, and a positioning wheel 8 is provided on the wheel frame 7. The side of the reinforcement rod 5 in contact with the positioning wheel 8 is arc-shaped. When the sapling grows taller, since the clamping ring 2 stably clamps the sapling, it will move upward with the sapling, thereby driving the support rod 3 to extend and the vertical inclination angle to decrease. Although the length of the reinforcing rod 5 is fixed, its top end is spherically hinged with the support rod 3, so the vertical inclination angle of the reinforcing rod 5 will change, and the bottom end of the reinforcing rod 5 will be pulled and slide along the arc-shaped positioning groove 1-5. During the sliding process, the positioning wheel 8, the wheel frame 7 and the first elastic member 6 will be squeezed. When it slides to the gap between adjacent positioning wheels 8, the squeezing force on the positioning wheel 8 will be reduced, and the first elastic member 6 will rebound, so that the adjacent positioning wheels 8 limit the reinforcing rod 5 on both sides of the reinforcing rod 5. In this way, the adjustment flexibility of the reinforcing rod 5 can be guaranteed, and the support stability can be guaranteed. When there is no pulling force on the clamping ring 2 caused by the growth of the sapling, the reinforcing rod 5 will not move, and when the sapling grows, the reinforcing rod 5 can be adjusted with the growth of the sapling.

[0053] Since the growth speed of the saplings is different in different growth periods, several sets of positioning wheels 8 and first elastic members 6 may be provided to meet the rapid movement of the reinforcing rods 5 when the saplings grow rapidly.

[0054] In order to improve the stability of the device, the number of support rods 3 and reinforcement rods 5 can be appropriately increased. Figure 1In the figure, a group of support rods 3 are respectively arranged on the top surfaces of the positioning cabin 1-1 and the two groups of positioning rods 1-2, with a total of three groups of support rods 3; a group of reinforcement rods 5 are respectively arranged on the two side surfaces of the support rods 3 on the positioning rods 1-2, with a total of four groups of reinforcement rods 5; two groups of arc-shaped positioning grooves 1-5 are arranged on the top surface of the positioning cabin 1-1, and a group of arc-shaped positioning grooves 1-5 are respectively arranged on the top surface of each group of reinforcement rods 5, with a total of four groups of arc-shaped positioning grooves 1-5 for installing four groups of reinforcement rods 5.

[0055] Since different saplings have different thicknesses of their main stems, in order to meet actual planting needs, in this embodiment, second elastic members 9 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the two groups of clamping cabins 2-1, and the other ends of the second elastic members 9 are connected to the abutment plates 10, and the abutment plates 10 are connected to the outer walls of the clamping cabins 2-1 via telescopes 11. The natural length of the second elastic member 9 is selected according to the minimum diameter of the saplings, so that when the second elastic member 9 is in a naturally extended state, the abutment plates 10 can just fit tightly against the outer side of the sapling with the smallest diameter, or when the second elastic member 9 is in a compressed state, the abutment plates 10 can fit tightly against the outer side of the sapling with the smallest diameter. In this way, the device can stably clamp all the saplings planted in this batch, and as the saplings grow, the diameter of their main stems gradually increases, and the main stems will squeeze the abutment plates 10, and then squeeze the second elastic member 9, so that the device will not hinder the normal growth trend of the saplings.

[0056] The first elastic member 6 and the second elastic member 9 may be compression springs, and the telescopic device 11 may be a telescopic rod or other structure.

[0057] In addition, this embodiment also has openings at the top end, the bottom end and the side end facing the reinforcement rod 5 of the storage groove 12, and the inner contour of the storage groove 12 is adapted to the outer shape of the reinforcement rod 5. When the sapling grows to a stable stage, the device can be removed and the reinforcement rod 5 can be stored in the storage groove 12 for the next use.

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] (1) The coaxially arranged positioning ring 1 and clamping ring 2 can accurately fix the sapling to ensure its verticality and aesthetics.

[0060] (2) The retractable support rod 3 and the freely movable and relatively stably supported reinforcement rod 5 can be automatically adjusted as the height of the sapling grows, providing support and fixation throughout the growth period of the sapling without affecting the normal growth trend of the sapling.

[0061] (3) The second elastic member 9 and the abutment plate 10 can change with the diameter of the seedlings to meet the planting requirements of different seedlings and provide support and fixation throughout the growth cycle of the seedlings without affecting the normal growth trend of the seedlings.

[0062] (4) The device is easy to install and disassemble, convenient to store, and reusable.

[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
