Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of garden steel structures, in particular to a steel structure straightening device for preventing garden trees from falling over. Background Art

[0002] The aesthetics of garden trees are highly required, and some trees that are designed to be straight for viewing require that they be prevented from tilting during their growth. Tree lodging is the result of both natural and human factors, and the risk of lodging can be significantly reduced by strengthening maintenance management and establishing a risk warning mechanism.

[0003] Most of the existing straightening equipment for garden trees to resist falling is designed with steel structure. According to the different diameters of trees, it is necessary to equip them with assembled straightening rings of different sizes. The diameter of some trees grows rapidly, such as poplar, eucalyptus, and paulownia, with an annual diameter growth of 3-4 cm. Therefore, the straightening rings must be replaced regularly, otherwise the outer surface of the tree will be damaged by the inappropriately sized straightening rings. Replacing the straightening rings requires dismantling the original straightening equipment and replacing it with a new one, which is inconvenient, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a steel structure straightening device for garden trees to resist falling, which can conveniently adjust the position of its straightening support blocks as the diameter of the trees increases, is easy to operate, saves time and effort, and is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in this field. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a steel structure straightening device for preventing garden trees from falling over, which overcomes the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art and can conveniently adjust the position of its straightening support block as the diameter of the tree increases. It is easy to operate and saves time and effort.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:

[0007] A steel structure straightening device for preventing garden trees from falling over comprises a lower base frame, an upper base frame, a support block, a position adjustment mechanism and legs, wherein:

[0008] The lower basic frame is formed by splicing at least two sections, and the upper end surface of the lower basic frame is provided with grooves in a circular array;

[0009] A plurality of the support blocks are placed in a circular array on the upper end surface of the lower base frame, and at least a portion of the upper end surface of the support block is provided with a long hole extending downward;

[0010] The upper basic frame is formed by splicing at least two sections, and a plurality of through holes are formed in a circular array on the upper basic frame, and the number and position of the through holes, long holes and grooves correspond to each other;

[0011] The position adjustment mechanism comprises a connecting column, an inner rod and a clamping column; the lower end of the connecting column sequentially passes through the through hole and the elongated hole and enters the groove, and the upper end surface of the connecting column is extended downward to be provided with a movable hole; the inner rod comprises an adjusting section, a threaded section and a tapered section from top to bottom, the adjusting section is located outside the movable hole, and the threaded section is threadedly connected to the movable hole; the clamping column is movably arranged on the side wall of the connecting column and can move horizontally in the side wall of the connecting column, the position of the clamping column corresponds to the position of the tapered section, and when the threaded section is rotated by the adjusting section, the tapered section moves downward to push the clamping column partially out of the side wall of the connecting column and abut against the inner wall surface of the elongated hole of the support block;

[0012] The legs are connected to the lower base frame and are provided with a plurality of legs;

[0013] When using, follow the steps below:

[0014] S1: First, assemble the lower basic frame around the area where the trees are to be straightened, connect the legs to the ground, and form a basic support platform with the lower basic frame; then assemble the upper basic frame around the area where the trees are to be straightened, and place the support blocks between the upper basic frame and the lower basic frame; insert the position adjustment mechanism into the corresponding perforations, long holes, and grooves of the upper basic frame, the support blocks, and the lower basic frame;

[0015] S2: Move the support block so that one end of the support block contacts the outer surface of the tree. A cushion layer may be provided on the contacting end of the support block to flexibly contact the tree trunk and provide support for the tree trunk.

[0016] S3: The threaded section is rotated by the adjusting section of the position adjusting mechanism, so that the tapered section moves downward, thereby pushing the clamping column to partially extend out of the side wall of the connecting column and abut against the long hole of the support block. At this time, the position of the support block is locked and cannot be moved anymore.

[0017] The above steps can be used to complete the initial installation of the steel structure straightening equipment for resisting falling of garden trees. As the trees grow, the position adjustment mechanism can be adjusted regularly, and the position of the support block can be repositioned to complete the locking. There is no need to dismantle the entire structure and replace it with a new straightening structure. The operation is convenient, saving time and effort.

[0018] Furthermore, racks are provided on both side walls in the length direction of the long hole, and the end of the clamping column is toothed. When the clamping column partially extends out of the side wall of the connecting column, it can be clamped in the rack, and the stability of the locking position of the support block is further improved through the cooperation of the rack and the clamping column.

[0019] Furthermore, both side walls in the length direction of the long hole are provided with a rubber layer, and a plurality of protrusions are provided at the end of the clamping column. When the clamping column partially extends out of the side wall of the connecting column, the protrusions abut against the rubber layer, thereby further improving the stability of the locking position of the support block by increasing the friction force.

[0020] Furthermore, the adjusting section is a gear section. An annular groove is formed on the upper end surface of the upper base frame. An adjusting ring composed of multiple segments spliced together is arranged in the annular groove. A part of the adjusting ring extends out of the annular groove, and the part extending out of the annular groove is provided with teeth matching the adjusting section. When the adjusting ring is driven to rotate by an external structure, although the adjusting ring is assembled in segments, the adjacent two ends of the adjusting ring will still rotate along the central axis of the annular groove under the action of thrust. Furthermore, the teeth on the adjusting ring drive the gear of the adjusting section to rotate, so that a part of the clamping post extends out of the side wall of the connecting post and abuts against the inner wall surface of the long hole of the supporting block, completing the locking of the supporting block. When the adjusting ring rotates in the reverse direction, the tapered section leaves the clamping post and no longer forms thrust on the clamping post. At this time, the position of the movable supporting block can be adjusted.

[0021] Furthermore, a receiving groove is formed on the upper end surface of the upper base frame. The lower end of the receiving groove is cylindrical, and the upper end is gear-shaped. A rotating adjusting member for driving the adjusting ring to rotate is received in the receiving groove. The rotating adjusting member successively includes a plug post, a driving gear, a vertical rod, and a handle from bottom to top. When the rotating adjusting member is completely inserted into the receiving groove, a part of the driving gear is exposed and meshes with the teeth of the adjusting ring. At this time, since the driving gear is limited by the receiving groove and cannot rotate, the meshing adjusting ring cannot rotate either. When the handle is held and the rotating adjusting member is lifted so that the driving gear is completely exposed out of the receiving groove, the plug post is still located in the receiving groove. At this time, the driving gear can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by holding the handle. The plug post rotates in the cylindrical part of the receiving groove to ensure that the rotation of the driving gear is not offset, thereby realizing the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the adjusting ring.

[0022] Furthermore, both the lower base frame and the upper base frame are annular. Both the upper base frame and the lower base frame are composed of two arc-shaped frames. Extension blocks are arranged at both ends of the arc-shaped frames of the upper base frame and the lower base frame. The extension blocks of the upper base frame and the lower base frame are corresponding in position. The two extension blocks corresponding to each other at the same horizontal plane position are in contact with each other; the two extension blocks corresponding to each other at the same horizontal plane position are magnetically connected.

[0023] Furthermore, a rectangular frame is sleeved between the four base frames on the same side of the upper base frame and the lower base frame. Bolts are arranged on the rectangular frame, and the screw rods of the bolts abut against one of the extension blocks; the distance between the upper end surface of the extension block of the upper base frame and the lower end of the extension block of the lower base frame matches the inner frame height of the rectangular frame. The sum of the widths of the extension blocks of the upper base frame matches the inner frame width of the rectangular frame. The sum of the widths of the extension blocks of the lower base frame also matches the inner frame width of the rectangular block. Through the cooperation of the rectangular frame and the extension blocks, the upper base frame and the lower base frame form a more stable whole.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper end of the leg is hinged to the lower base frame. The leg is a leg with adjustable length, and the lower end of the leg is fixedly connected to the ground.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) During the initial installation, the upper base frame, the lower base frame and the support block are installed quickly. The threaded section is rotated by the adjustment section of the position adjustment mechanism, so that the tapered section moves downward and pushes the clamping column to partially extend out of the side wall of the connecting column and abut against the long hole of the support block. At this time, the position of the support block is locked and cannot be moved, completing the initial installation of the steel structure straightening equipment for resisting the collapse of garden trees. Subsequently, as the trees grow, the position adjustment mechanism is adjusted regularly, and the position of the support block is repositioned to complete the locking. There is no need to dismantle the entire structure and replace it with a new straightening structure, which is easy to operate and saves time and effort. (2) Through the setting of the inner rod adjustment section of the position adjustment mechanism, the adjustment ring rotatably installed on the upper base frame, and the rotating adjustment member on the upper base frame, the locking and unlocking of different support blocks can be quickly and synchronously completed, further improving the operating efficiency and making the operation faster when the position adjustment mechanism is adjusted regularly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 In the embodiment shown, a steel structure straightening device for resisting falling of garden trees comprises a lower base frame 1, an upper base frame 2, a support block 3, a position adjustment mechanism 4 and a support leg 5, wherein:

[0033] The lower base frame 1 is formed by splicing two sections, and six grooves 11 are arranged in a circular array on the upper end surface of the lower base frame 1;

[0034] Six support blocks 3 are placed in a circular array on the upper end surface of the lower base frame 1, and long holes 31 are downwardly extended on the upper end surface of a part of the support blocks 3;

[0035] The upper base frame 2 is formed by splicing two sections, and six through holes 21 penetrating up and down are arranged in a circular array on the upper base frame 2. The number and positions of the through holes 21, the long holes 31, and the grooves 11 correspond one by one;

[0036] The position adjusting mechanism 4 includes a connecting column 41, an inner rod 42, and a clamping column 43; the lower end of the connecting column 41 sequentially passes through the through hole 21 and the long hole 31 and then enters the groove 11. An activity hole 411 is downwardly extended on the upper end surface of the connecting column 41; the inner rod 42 sequentially includes an adjusting section 421, a threaded section 422, and a tapered section 423 from top to bottom. The adjusting section 421 is located outside the activity hole 411, and the threaded section 422 is threadedly connected to the activity hole 411; the clamping column 43 is movably arranged on the side wall of the connecting column 41 and can horizontally move within the side wall of the connecting column 41. The position of the clamping column 43 corresponds to the position of the tapered section 423. When the threaded section 422 is rotated by the adjusting section 421 of the position adjusting mechanism, the tapered section 423 moves downward to push a part of the clamping column 43 to extend out of the side wall of the connecting column 41 and abut against the inner wall surface of the long hole 31 of the support block 3, locking the position of the support block 3 so that the support block 3 can no longer move;

[0037] The legs 5 are connected to the lower base frame 1 and multiple legs are provided;

[0038] During use, the following steps can be performed:

[0039] S1: First, assemble the lower base frame 1 around the area where the tree needs to be righted to form a basic support platform by connecting the legs 5 to the ground; then assemble the upper base frame 2 around the area where the tree needs to be righted, and place the support blocks 3 between the upper base frame 2 and the lower base frame 1; insert the position adjusting mechanism 4 at the corresponding positions of the through holes 21, the long holes 31, and the grooves 11 of the upper base frame 2, the support blocks 3, and the lower base frame 1;

[0040] S2: Move the position of the support block 3 so that one end of the support block 3 abuts against the outer surface of the tree. A cushion layer can be provided at the abutting end of the support block 3 to contact the tree trunk flexibly and form a support for the tree trunk;

[0041] S3: Rotate the threaded section 422 by the adjusting section 421 of the position adjusting mechanism so that the tapered section 423 moves downward to further push a part of the clamping column 43 to extend out of the side wall of the connecting column 41 and abut against the long hole 31 of the support block 3. At this time, the position of the support block 3 is locked and cannot move any more.

[0042] The above steps can be used to complete the initial installation of the steel structure straightening equipment for resisting falling of garden trees. As the trees grow, the position adjustment mechanism can be adjusted regularly, and the position of the support block 3 can be repositioned to complete the locking. There is no need to dismantle the entire structure and replace it with a new straightening structure. The operation is convenient, saving time and effort.

[0043] In some embodiments, racks are provided on both side walls in the length direction of the elongated hole 31, and the end of the clamping column 43 is tooth-shaped. When the clamping column 43 partially extends out of the side wall of the connecting column 41, it can be clamped in the rack. The cooperation between the rack and the clamping column 43 further improves the stability of the locking position of the support block 3.

[0044] In some other embodiments, both side walls of the long hole 31 in the length direction are provided with a rubber layer, and a plurality of protrusions are provided at the end of the clamping column 43. When the clamping column 43 partially extends out of the side wall of the connecting column 41, the protrusions abut against the rubber layer, thereby further improving the stability of the locking position of the support block 3 by increasing the friction force.

[0045] In this embodiment, the adjustment section 421 is a gear section, and the upper end surface of the upper base frame 2 is provided with an annular groove 22, and an adjustment ring 23 formed by splicing multiple sections is arranged in the annular groove 22, and the adjustment ring 23 partially extends out of the annular groove 22 and the part extending out of the annular groove 22 is provided with teeth that match the adjustment section 421. When the adjustment ring 23 is driven to rotate, although the adjustment ring 23 is assembled in sections, the adjustment rings 23 at both ends of the adjacent sections will still rotate along the central axis of the annular groove 22 under the action of thrust, so that the teeth on the adjustment ring 23 drive the gear of the adjustment section 421 to rotate, so that the clamping column 43 partially extends out of the side wall of the connecting column 41 and contacts the inner wall surface of the long hole 31 of the support block 3, completing the locking of the support block 3; when the adjustment ring 23 rotates in the opposite direction, the tapered section 423 leaves the clamping column 43 and no longer forms a thrust on the clamping column 43, and the position of the movable support block 3 is now moved.

[0046] In some embodiments, the adjustment ring 23 is driven to rotate by an external structure.

[0047] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 24 is provided on the upper end surface of the upper base frame 2. The lower end of the receiving groove 24 is cylindrical, and the upper end is gear-shaped. A rotating adjusting member 6 for driving the adjusting ring 23 to rotate is received in the receiving groove 24. The rotating adjusting member 6 includes a plug post 61, a driving gear 62, a vertical rod 63, and a handle 64 in sequence from bottom to top. When the rotating adjusting member 6 is completely inserted into the receiving groove 24, the driving gear 62 is partially exposed and meshes with the long teeth of the adjusting ring 23. At this time, since the driving gear 62 is limited by the receiving groove 24 and cannot rotate, the adjusting ring 23 engaged therewith cannot rotate either. When the handle 64 is held and the rotating adjusting member 6 is lifted so that the driving gear 62 is completely exposed from the receiving groove 24, the plug post 61 is still located in the receiving groove 24. At this time, the driving gear 62 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by holding the handle. The plug post 61 rotates in the cylindrical part of the receiving groove 24 to ensure that the rotation of the driving gear 62 is not offset, thereby realizing the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the adjusting ring 23.

[0048] In this embodiment, both the lower base frame 1 and the upper base frame 2 are annular. The upper base frame 2 and the lower base frame 1 are both composed of two arc-shaped frames. Extension blocks 7 are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped frames of the upper base frame 2 and the lower base frame 1. The positions of the extension blocks 7 of the upper base frame 2 and the lower base frame 1 correspond to each other. The two extension blocks 7 corresponding to each other at the same horizontal plane position are in contact with each other; the two extension blocks 7 corresponding to each other at the same horizontal plane position are magnetically connected.

[0049] In this embodiment, a rectangular frame 8 is sleeved between the four base frames on the same side of the upper base frame 2 and the lower base frame 1. A bolt 81 is provided on the rectangular frame 8, and the screw rod of the bolt 81 abuts against one of the extension blocks 7; the distance between the upper end surface of the extension block 7 of the upper base frame 2 and the lower end of the extension block 7 of the lower base frame 1 matches the inner frame height of the rectangular frame 8. The sum of the widths of the extension blocks 7 of the upper base frame 2 matches the inner frame width of the rectangular frame 8, and the sum of the widths of the extension blocks 7 of the lower base frame 1 also matches the inner frame width of the rectangular block. Through the cooperation of the rectangular frame 8 and the extension blocks 7, the upper base frame 2 and the lower base frame 1 form a more stable whole.

[0050] In this embodiment, the upper end of the leg 5 is hinged to the lower base frame 1. The leg 5 is a leg 5 with adjustable length. The lower end of the leg 5 is fixedly connected to the ground. This is a conventional connection method. Only a schematic illustration is shown in the drawings, and the specific scheme is not shown in detail. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.
