Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of garden construction, and in particular to a pruning device and a method for garden construction. Background Art

[0002] Tree pruning is an indispensable part of garden maintenance. It is not only related to the health and growth of trees, but also affects the beauty of the garden and the safety of tourists. When pruning trees, you need to pay attention to the pruning period. Winter pruning: Deciduous trees are generally pruned after the leaves fall in winter and before the buds sprout in spring, which is conducive to the formation of the crown and the formation of flowering and fruiting branches. Summer pruning: It is carried out during the growing season from April to October, mainly to control the tree shape and promote flowering and fruiting. Tree species with poor cold resistance: Pruning should be carried out in early spring to prevent wind and cold. Special circumstances: If the tree has diseases, insects or structural problems, it should be pruned in time without seasonal restrictions.

[0003] Reciprocating electric saws are often used to prune tree branches. Reciprocating electric saws are handheld electric tools that are mainly used for straight or curved cutting of wood, metal or other materials. Reciprocating electric saws use electric motors to drive the saw blade to do reciprocating motion to achieve the cutting function. This type of electric saw is usually portable and is often used in garden pruning.

[0004] However, when workers use reciprocating electric saws to prune trees, most of the wood chips will fall. These debris will fall into the workers' eyes, making it impossible for them to clearly understand the current pruning situation. After pruning is completed, workers are required to manually apply or spray a 2% to 5% copper sulfate solution on the pruning area, which helps wound healing, prevents infection and promotes the resumption of tree growth, but it will lead to overall low work efficiency.

[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0031] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0032] Example 1 Reference Figures 1 to 6 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a pruning method for a pruning device for garden construction. Through the pruning method for a pruning device for garden construction, wood chips can be blocked and copper sulfate solution can be sprayed.

[0033] When the staff adjusts the height of the garden pruning mechanism 100 to a higher level, the blocking mechanism 200 will be unfolded. At this time, the wood chips generated when the garden pruning mechanism 100 is started for pruning can be blocked by the blocking mechanism 200 to prevent the wood chips from falling into the eyes and affecting the cutting efficiency and causing eye injuries. When there is no need to adjust the height of the garden pruning mechanism 100, the adaptation component 206 can be directly pushed upward to directly unfold the blocking mechanism 200 for use, so that the blocking mechanism 200 can be used to adapt to the situation of a lower pruning height. When the garden pruning mechanism 100 is used at an angle, the extension component 207 at the corresponding position can also be used to extend a part of the blocking effect to adapt to the position of the staff; When the garden pruning mechanism 100 is started to prune, the cleaning mechanism 300 is started to continuously generate downward airflow, and then the airflow blows away the wood chips on the blocking mechanism 200, so as to prevent most of the wood chips from accumulating on the top of the blocking mechanism 200 and causing the overall weight to increase, and at the same time, the pruning situation above cannot be observed through the blocking mechanism 200; During the use of the cleaning mechanism 300, the airflow pushed by the piston 302 when it moves upward is used to start the auxiliary healing mechanism 400, and the copper sulfate solution is sprayed upward on the cut part of the tree with the help of the power of the airflow, so that the pruned part of the tree is disinfected, which helps to heal the wound at the pruned part, prevent infection and promote the recovery and growth of the pruned part of the tree. Then, the quantitative component 410 is used to discharge the copper sulfate solution only when the airflow is blown upward, and the copper sulfate solution will stop being discharged when the airflow stops blowing upward, so as to avoid the waste of part of the copper sulfate solution. Then, the prompt component 411 is used to facilitate the staff to quickly observe the remaining amount of copper sulfate in the current liquid storage box 401.

[0034] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 , 3 5 is a second embodiment of the present invention, which provides a cleaning mechanism 300, through which the wood chips blocked by the conical soft cover 201 can be blown away.

[0035] The cleaning mechanism 300 includes an air cylinder 301, the bottom of the air cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the reciprocating electric saw 101, a piston 302 is slidably connected inside the air cylinder 301, both sides of the bottom of the piston 302 are fixedly connected to tension springs 303, the other end of the tension spring 303 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the air cylinder 301, a sliding sleeve 304 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the reciprocating electric saw 101, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 304 is slidably connected to the surface of the output end of the reciprocating electric saw 101, a transmission block 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front of the output end of the reciprocating electric saw 101, a movable groove 306 is opened on the front of the sliding sleeve 304, and the movable groove 306 The inner wall is slidably connected to the surface of the transmission block 305, and a pull rope 307 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission block 305. One end of the pull rope 307 passes through the interior of the air cylinder 301 and is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 302. The top of the left side of the air cylinder 301 is movably connected to a contact roller 308 through an axle pin, and the contact roller 308 is movably connected to the pull rope 307. The top sleeve of the surface of the adjusting grip sleeve 104 is provided with an air guide box 309, and the bottom of the air guide box 309 is connected to an air jet head 310. Six air jet heads 310 are arranged and are equidistantly distributed in a ring shape. The bottom of the front side of the air cylinder 301 is connected to a hose 311, and the other end of the hose 311 is connected to the air guide box 309.

[0036] Specifically, after the reciprocating electric saw 101 is started, the output end of the reciprocating electric saw 101 will continuously drive the transmission block 305 to slide up and down along the inner wall of the movable groove 306 opened on the sliding sleeve 304. Whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move upward, the pull rope 307 will be loosened. At this time, the piston 302 moves downward under the tension of the tension spring 303, so that the piston 302 pushes the air inside the air cylinder 301 downward, and then the airflow pushed downward will enter the interior of the air guide box 309 through the hose 311, and then the airflow will enter the interior of the nozzle 310 through the air guide box 309 and spray downward, and then the sprayed airflow will blow away the wood chips blocked above the conical soft cover 201, so as to avoid a large amount of wood chips being above the conical soft cover 201, which makes it impossible for the staff to observe the current pruning situation through the transparent conical soft cover 201. At the same time, the contact roller 308 can reduce the wear and tear of the pull rope 307 during use, thereby increasing the service life of the pull rope 307.

[0037] Furthermore, after the reciprocating electric saw 101 is started, the output end of the reciprocating electric saw 101 will continuously drive the transmission block 305 to slide up and down along the inner wall of the movable groove 306 opened on the sliding sleeve 304. Whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move upward, the pull rope 307 will loosen. At this time, the piston 302 moves downward under the tension of the tension spring 303, so that the piston 302 pushes the air inside the air cylinder 301 downward, and then the airflow pushed downward will enter the interior of the air guide box 309 through the hose 311, and then the airflow will enter the interior of the nozzle 310 through the air guide box 309 and spray downward, and then the sprayed airflow will blow away the wood chips blocked above the conical soft cover 201, avoiding a large amount of wood chips being above the conical soft cover 201, which makes it impossible for the staff to observe the current pruning situation through the transparent conical soft cover 201. At the same time, the contact roller 308 can reduce the wear and tear of the pull rope 307 during use, thereby increasing the service life of the pull rope 307.

[0038] Example 3 Reference Figures 1 to 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, provides an auxiliary healing mechanism 400, through which 2% to 5% copper sulfate solution is automatically sprayed on the pruning area of ​​the tree.

[0039] The auxiliary healing mechanism 400 includes a liquid storage box 401, which is located at the bottom of the right side of the saw blade 103. The liquid storage box 401 stores a copper sulfate solution with a concentration of 2% to 5%. Both sides of the liquid storage box 401 are fixedly connected to a connecting frame 402. The bottom of the connecting frame 402 is fixedly connected to both sides of the air cylinder 301. The left side of the bottom of the liquid storage box 401 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 403. The left side of the bottom of the liquid outlet pipe 403 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped guide plate 404. The left side of the top of the air cylinder 301 is connected to an exhaust pipe 405. The exhaust pipe 405 is connected to the left side of the top of the air cylinder 301. The other end of 05 is connected to a liquid spray head 406, and two atomizing plates 407 are arranged inside the liquid spray head 406. The surface of the atomizing plate 407 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner wall of the liquid spray head 406. A liquid inlet groove 408 is provided at the bottom of the right side of the liquid spray head 406. The other end of the U-shaped guide plate 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the right side of the liquid spray head 406. Both sides of the right side of the air cylinder 301 are connected to a one-way valve 409. The bottom of the left side of the liquid storage box 401 is movably connected to a quantitative component 410 through an axle pin, and a prompt component 411 is provided on the right side of the liquid storage box 401.

[0040] The quantitative component 410 includes a force-bearing member 410a, the right side of which is movably connected to the bottom of the left side of the liquid storage box 401 through an axle pin, the left side of the bottom of the force-bearing member 410a contacts the top of the spray head 406, and the bottom of the right side of the force-bearing member 410a is fixedly connected to a sealing plug 410b, which is embedded in the inside of the bottom of the left side of the liquid outlet pipe 403, and the top of the force-bearing member 410a is fixedly connected to an arc spring 410c, and the other end of the arc spring 410c is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left side of the liquid storage box 401.

[0041] The prompt component 411 includes an installation groove 411a, which is opened on the right side of the liquid storage box 401. An observation window 411b is embedded in the interior of the installation groove 411a. A floating plate 411c is arranged inside the liquid storage box 401. The right sides of both sides of the floating plate 411c are slidingly connected to the left sides of both sides of the inner wall of the installation groove 411a. A feeding groove 411d is opened on the left side of the top of the liquid storage box 401.

[0042] Specifically, the 2% to 5% concentration of copper sulfate solution stored in the liquid storage box 401 will be discharged into the interior of the spray head 406, and whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move downward, it will pull the piston 302 upward to discharge the air in the air cylinder 301 upward, and these discharged air flows will drive the copper sulfate solution to be atomized through the atomizing plate 407 and sprayed out through the spray head 406. At this time, the atomized copper sulfate solution will be continuously sprayed on the pruned parts of the trees in an atomized manner, so that the pruned parts of the trees are disinfected, which helps to heal the wounds at the pruned parts, prevent infection and promote the recovery of the pruned parts of the trees. At the same time, during the use of the air cylinder 301, the two one-way valves 409 can ensure the air intake required by the air cylinder 301, and the airflow in the air cylinder 301 cannot be exhausted through the one-way valve 409, so that the air cylinder 301 can be used stably.

[0043] Specifically, the sealing plug 410b can be used to seal the liquid outlet pipe 403 during use. Only when the air in the air cylinder 301 is discharged upward, the left side of the force-bearing member 410a will rotate clockwise under the action of the airflow to pull the sealing plug 410b out of the liquid outlet pipe 403, so that the copper sulfate solution in the liquid storage box 401 can flow out for use. Whenever the air inside the air cylinder 301 is pushed downward, the force-bearing member 410a is no longer driven by the airflow, and the elastic force of the arc spring 410c is released to push the force-bearing member 410a to reset. Then the force-bearing member 410a will drive the sealing plug 410b to be inserted into the liquid outlet pipe 403 for sealing, thereby avoiding the waste of part of the copper sulfate solution.

[0044] Specifically, when the liquid storage box 401 is in use, the height at which the floating plate 411c is suspended represents the liquid level of the current remaining copper sulfate solution, so that the user can add the copper sulfate solution from the feeding tank 411d to the interior of the liquid storage box 401 in a timely manner.

[0045] Furthermore, in the process of pruning trees, the 2% to 5% copper sulfate solution stored in the liquid storage box 401 will be discharged to the liquid outlet pipe 403, and flow to the inside of the U-shaped guide plate 404 through the liquid outlet pipe 403, and then the copper sulfate solution will flow to the inside of the spray head 406 through the liquid inlet groove 408. Whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move downward, one end of the pull rope 307 will be pulled downward, so that the other end of the pull rope 307 pulls the piston 302 upward to discharge the air in the cylinder 301 upward, and the discharged airflow will push the sulfuric acid remaining on the atomizing plate 407 below. Copper is easily driven upward, and the copper sulfate solution driven by the airflow will be atomized by the atomizing plate 407 above and sprayed out through the spray head 406. At this time, the atomized copper sulfate solution will be continuously sprayed on the pruned parts of the trees in an atomized manner, so that the pruned parts of the trees are disinfected, which helps to heal the wounds at the pruned parts, prevent infection and promote the recovery of the pruned parts of the trees. At the same time, during the use of the air cylinder 301, the two one-way valves 409 can ensure the air intake required by the air cylinder 301, and the airflow in the air cylinder 301 cannot be exhausted through the one-way valve 409, so that the air cylinder 301 can be used stably.

[0046] Furthermore, during the use of the liquid storage box 401, the float plate 411c inside the liquid storage box 401 floats on the surface of the copper sulfate solution and gradually moves downward as the copper sulfate solution is used, and the user can understand the current floating position of the float plate 411c through the observation window 411b, and the height at which the float plate 411c is suspended represents the liquid level of the current remaining copper sulfate solution, so that the user can add the copper sulfate solution from the feeding tank 411d to the inside of the liquid storage box 401 in time.

[0047] Furthermore, in the process of pruning trees, the 2% to 5% copper sulfate solution stored in the liquid storage box 401 will be discharged to the liquid outlet pipe 403, and flow to the inside of the U-shaped guide plate 404 through the liquid outlet pipe 403, and then the copper sulfate solution will flow to the inside of the spray head 406 through the liquid inlet groove 408. Whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move downward, one end of the pull rope 307 will be pulled downward, so that the other end of the pull rope 307 pulls the piston 302 upward to discharge the air in the cylinder 301 upward, and the discharged airflow will push the sulfuric acid remaining on the atomizing plate 407 below. Copper is easily driven upward, and the copper sulfate solution driven by the airflow will be atomized by the atomizing plate 407 above and sprayed out through the spray head 406. At this time, the atomized copper sulfate solution will be continuously sprayed on the pruned parts of the trees in an atomized manner, so that the pruned parts of the trees are disinfected, which helps to heal the wounds at the pruned parts, prevent infection and promote the recovery of the pruned parts of the trees. At the same time, during the use of the air cylinder 301, the two one-way valves 409 can ensure the air intake required by the air cylinder 301, and the airflow in the air cylinder 301 cannot be exhausted through the one-way valve 409, so that the air cylinder 301 can be used stably.

[0048] It should be noted that the right side of the floating plate 411c is coated with a fluorescent coating, which can facilitate the staff to quickly understand the current height position of the floating plate 411c through the observation window 411b in dim ambient light.

[0049] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.

[0050] Example 4 Reference Figures 1 to 6 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that: this embodiment provides a pruning device for garden construction.

[0051] When the staff needs to use the reciprocating electric saw 101 to prune trees, they first move the adjustment rod 102 upward to the required height, then start the reciprocating electric saw 101 to drive the saw blade 103 to move up and down continuously and quickly, and then the staff holds the bottom of the adjustment grip 104 to lift the reciprocating electric saw 101 to prune the tree.

[0052] When the adjusting rod 102 is moved upward, the adjusting rod 102 will synchronously drive the connecting block 203 to move upward along the inner wall of the moving groove 202, and then the connecting block 203 will drive the inner side of the adjusting rod 102 to lift upward, so that the top of the adjusting rod 102 expands outward, and the originally loose conical soft cover 201 will be opened, so that the wood chips generated when the staff uses the reciprocating electric saw 101 to prune trees will be blocked by the conical soft cover 201, thereby preventing the wood chips from falling directly into the user's eyes and affecting the cutting efficiency and causing eye injuries. The conical soft cover 201 is made of transparent plastic, so that the conical soft cover 201 can block the wood chips falling from above, and it is also convenient for the user to observe the current pruning progress and situation.

[0053] When the staff needs to prune the tree at a lower position without moving the adjustment rod 102 upward, which will cause the conical soft cover 201 to be unable to be fully opened for use, the user can directly pull the sliding rod 206d to move outward. At this time, the sliding rod 206d is arranged in an L shape, so that the staff can buckle the sliding rod 206d and move it outward. Then the sliding rod 206d drives the positioning member 206e to move outward. At the same time, the first spring 206f is compressed to generate a rebound force, and then pushes the connecting block 203 to move upward along the path of the inner wall of the adaptation groove 206a. When the positioning member 206e corresponds to the upper positioning groove 206b, the elastic force of the first spring 206f will be released, thereby pushing the positioning member 206e to insert into the upper positioning groove 206b, thereby moving the connecting block 203 to the top, so that the conical soft cover 201 is opened, so that it can adapt to the lower height during pruning.

[0054] When the staff holds the adjustment grip 104 to use the reciprocating electric saw 101 at an angle, the arc-shaped piece 207a corresponding to the position of the staff's head can be opened to release the elastic force of the second spring 207c, thereby pushing the arc-shaped piece 207a to move outward. At this time, the extended soft strip 207d will be unfolded, and then the unfolded extended soft strip 207d can be extended corresponding to the position of the staff's head, so as to avoid the small area of ​​the conical soft cover 201 being unable to adapt to the staff when the reciprocating electric saw 101 is used at an angle. During the movement of the arc-shaped piece 207a, the limiting rod 207b is used to slide with the conical soft cover 201, so as to limit the moving path of the arc-shaped piece 207a, so as to prevent the arc-shaped piece 207a from shaking or shifting during the movement.

[0055] When the staff needs to open the arc-shaped member 207a, they can pinch the two sides of the plug 207e-2 to retract the two sides of the plug 207e-2 into the interior of the buckle 207e-1, and then use the elastic force of the second spring 207c to push open the arc-shaped member 207a. When the staff needs to close the corresponding arc-shaped member 207a, they can directly push the arc-shaped member 207a to reset. At this time, the arc-shaped member 207a will drive the plug 207e-2 to be inserted into the interior of the buckle 207e-1, so that the buckle 207e-1 is engaged with the plug 207e-2, thereby closing the arc-shaped member 207a.

[0056] After the reciprocating electric saw 101 is started, the output end of the reciprocating electric saw 101 will continuously drive the transmission block 305 to slide up and down along the inner wall of the movable groove 306 opened on the sliding sleeve 304. Whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move upward, the pull rope 307 will be loosened. At this time, the piston 302 moves downward under the tension of the tension spring 303, so that the piston 302 pushes the air inside the air cylinder 301 downward, and then the airflow pushed downward will enter the interior of the air guide box 309 through the hose 311, and then the airflow will enter the interior of the jet head 310 through the air guide box 309 and spray downward, and then the sprayed airflow will blow away the wood chips blocked above the conical soft cover 201, so as to avoid a large amount of wood chips being above the conical soft cover 201, which makes it impossible for the staff to observe the current pruning situation through the transparent conical soft cover 201. At the same time, the contact roller 308 can reduce the wear and tear of the pull rope 307 during use, thereby increasing the service life of the pull rope 307.

[0057] During the process of pruning trees, the 2% to 5% copper sulfate solution stored in the liquid storage box 401 will be discharged to the liquid outlet pipe 403, and flow to the inside of the U-shaped guide plate 404 through the liquid outlet pipe 403, and then the copper sulfate solution will flow to the inside of the spray head 406 through the liquid inlet tank 408. Whenever the transmission block 305 is driven to move downward, it will pull one end of the pull rope 307 downward, so that the other end of the pull rope 307 pulls the piston 302 upward to discharge the air in the cylinder 301 upward, and the discharged airflow will easily push the copper sulfate remaining on the atomizing plate 407 below. Driven upward, the copper sulfate solution driven by the airflow will be atomized by the atomizing plate 407 above and sprayed out through the spray head 406. At this time, the atomized copper sulfate solution will be continuously sprayed on the pruned parts of the trees in an atomized manner, so that the pruned parts of the trees are disinfected, which helps to heal the wounds at the pruned parts, prevent infection and promote the recovery of the pruned parts of the trees. At the same time, during the use of the air cylinder 301, the two one-way valves 409 can ensure the air intake required by the air cylinder 301, and the airflow in the air cylinder 301 cannot be exhausted through the one-way valve 409, so that the air cylinder 301 can be used stably.

[0058] The sealing plug 410b can be used to seal the liquid outlet pipe 403 during use. Only when the transmission block 305 is driven to move downward and the piston 302 is pulled upward by the pull rope 307 to discharge the air in the air cylinder 301 upward, the left side of the force-bearing member 410a will rotate clockwise under the action of the air flow. At this time, the force-bearing member 410a will also drive the sealing plug 410b to be pulled out of the liquid outlet pipe 403. At the same time, the arc spring 410c is squeezed to generate a rebound force. After the sealing plug 410b is pulled out, the copper sulfate solution in the liquid storage box 401 can flow out for use. When moving upward, the pull rope 307 will loosen, and then the piston 302 will move downward under the tension of the tension spring 303, so that the piston 302 pushes the air inside the air cylinder 301 downward. At this time, the force-bearing member 410a is no longer transmitted by the airflow, and the elastic force of the arc spring 410c is released to push the force-bearing member 410a to reset. Then the force-bearing member 410a will drive the sealing plug 410b to be inserted into the liquid outlet pipe 403 for sealing, so that the copper sulfate solution can be discharged only when the airflow is blown upward, and the copper sulfate solution will stop being discharged when the airflow stops blowing upward, thereby avoiding the waste of part of the copper sulfate solution.

[0059] During the use of the liquid storage box 401, the floating plate 411c inside the liquid storage box 401 floats on the surface of the copper sulfate solution and gradually moves downward as the copper sulfate solution is used. The user can understand the current floating position of the floating plate 411c through the observation window 411b, and the height at which the floating plate 411c is suspended represents the liquid level of the current remaining copper sulfate solution, so that the user can add the copper sulfate solution from the feeding tank 411d to the inside of the liquid storage box 401 in time.

[0060] In summary, when the adjusting rod 102 is moved upward and extended, the blocking mechanism 200 will be opened, so that the wood chips generated when the tree is pruned will be blocked by the blocking mechanism 200. During the trimming process, the cleaning mechanism 300 will be started and the airflow will be sprayed downward to blow away the wood chips on the blocking mechanism 200, so that the current pruning situation of the tree can be observed through the blocking mechanism 200. When the cleaning mechanism 300 is used, an upward airflow will be generated, and the upward airflow will start the auxiliary healing mechanism 400 to spray copper sulfate solution on the pruned part of the tree, so that the pruned part of the tree is disinfected, which helps to heal the wound at the pruned part, prevent infection and promote the recovery and growth of the pruned part of the tree.
