[0002] In the early stages of landscaping, when trees are planted, if heavy rain or other severe weather occurs, it is often necessary to protect the newly planted trees from the soil around them that have not yet fully taken root. The existing method is usually to cover the roots and the surrounding soil surface with a protective film. However, since the protective film is often applied over a large area and can affect the growth of the trees when the weather is sunny, it is usually only applied temporarily when heavy rain or other severe weather occurs. This is difficult to do and requires removal afterward, which is quite troublesome.
[0003] Based on this, the present invention designs a protective device for the maintenance of garden greening to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 7This invention provides a technical solution: a protective device for garden greening maintenance, comprising a protective cover 1, wherein the protective cover 1 has through holes penetrating its top and bottom surfaces, and an installation groove 2 is provided inside the protective cover 1. Multiple movable valve plates 3 arranged in a circumferential array are provided in the installation groove 2. When the multiple movable valve plates 3 are close together, they can form a closed circle. Two rotating shafts 4 are fixedly installed on the movable valve plates 3. One rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 1, and the other rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to a first connecting rod 5. The ends of the multiple first connecting rods 5 away from the rotating shaft 4 are rotatably connected to a rotating ring 6. The rotating ring 6 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 1. A first driving mechanism is provided on the side of the protective cover 1, which drives the rotating ring 6 to rotate.
[0025] The protective cover 1 has a water collection tank 7 inside, and the movable valve plate 3 has a flow guide groove 8 on its top, with the end of the flow guide groove 8 located directly above the water collection tank 7; a flow guide pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 1, with one end of the flow guide pipe 9 extending into the water collection tank 7, and a water pump 10 installed at the other end of the flow guide pipe 9; the end of the water pump 10 away from the flow guide pipe 9 is fixedly connected to a water tank 12 through a first water pipe 11, and a second drive mechanism for driving the operation of the water pump 10 is provided on its side.
[0026] At work, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, after planting, workers can place the protective cover 1 inside the sapling. The insert rod at the bottom of the protective cover 1 can be inserted into the soil to secure it. The protective cover 1 can be slightly off the ground to allow the soil below it to breathe. Under normal weather conditions, the multiple movable valve plates 3 are in a state of... Figure 2 In the open state shown, the gap between the multiple movable valve plates 3 is close to the size of the through hole, the size of which can be set according to actual needs; when encountering heavy rain, the first drive mechanism will drive the rotating ring 6 to... Figure 2 As shown, when rotated counterclockwise, the rotating ring 6 will drive the movable valve plate 3 to move synchronously via the first connecting rod 5. The movable valve plate 3 will rotate around the rotating shaft 4 connected to the protective cover 1. In the extreme position, multiple movable valve plates 3 can close to form a closed position. Figure 3In the state shown, the small hole in the middle of the movable valve plate 3 represents the trunk thickness of the sapling. It should be noted that as the sapling grows and the trunk thickens, the movable valve plate 3 will rotate until it contacts the trunk and then stop rotating. At this point, the through-hole on the protective cover 1 can still be mostly blocked by the movable valve plate 3. When the movable valve plate 3 is closed, it prevents heavy rain from directly washing away the soil around the sapling. Rainwater falling onto the movable valve plate 3 will flow from the guide channel 8 into the water collection tank 7 until both the water collection tank 7 and the guide pipe 9 are full of rainwater. During heavy rain, the second drive mechanism will drive the water pump 10 to work. After the water pump 10 works, it will pump the rainwater in the water collection tank 7 into the water tank 12 through the guide pipe 9 and the first water pipe 11. This serves to store rainwater, which can be used to irrigate the plants later. After the rain stops, the first and second drive mechanisms stop working. At this time, the rotating ring 6 rotates back to its initial position, the movable valve plate 3 opens, and the movable valve plate 3 will not affect the growth of the trees. Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 1 is designed to consist of two interlocking blocks. The protective cover 1 can be disassembled. When the saplings gradually grow and no longer need protection, the staff can remove the protective cover 1 for reuse. Through the setting of the protective cover 1 and the movable valve plate 3, under normal weather conditions, the movable valve plate 3 is in the open state, which will not affect the growth of the saplings. In the event of heavy rain, the movable valve plate 3 can be quickly closed, covering the through hole and blocking rainwater to prevent rainwater from washing away the soil around the saplings, thus protecting the saplings. After the saplings gradually grow and no longer need protection, the staff can remove the protective cover 1 for reuse. Through the setting of the water collection tank 7, the guide channel 8, the guide pipe 9, the water pump 10 and the water tank 12, the guide channel 8 can guide the rainwater falling on the movable valve plate 3 into the water collection tank 7, and then the water pump 10 can pump the rainwater into the water tank 12 for storage, which can be used to irrigate the saplings later.
[0027] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the second driving mechanism includes a mounting frame 13, which is fixedly connected to the water tank 12. A turntable 14 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 13. A plurality of blades 15 are fixedly connected to the circumferential sidewall of the turntable 14. A first pulley 16 is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft of the turntable 14. The first pulley 16 is driven to a second pulley 18 via a transmission belt 17. The second pulley 18 is driven to a water pump 10.
[0028] The outer end of the blade 15 is shaped like a spoon.
[0029] At work, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, during heavy rain, rainwater washes over the blades 15, driving them to rotate. The blades 15 then drive the water pump 10 via the first pulley 16 and the second pulley 18. Figure 5 As shown, setting the outer end of the blade 15 to a spoon shape ensures that the blade 15 will only rotate in one fixed direction.
[0030] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the first driving mechanism includes a cylinder body 19, which is fixedly connected to a protective cover 1. A piston rod 20 is elastically slidably connected inside the cylinder body 19. The end of the piston rod 20 away from the cylinder body 19 is fixedly connected to a rotating ring 6. A second water pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 19. The end of the second water pipe 21 away from the cylinder body 19 is fixedly connected to a water pump 10.
[0031] At work, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when the water pump 10 is working, it first pumps the rainwater in the water collection tank 7 into the cylinder 19 through the second water pipe 21. The hydraulic pressure generated by the rainwater will drive the piston rod 20 to slide in the cylinder 19 and stretch the spring. The piston rod 20 will drive the rotating ring 6 to rotate in the protective cover 1 and drive the first connecting rod 5 to move synchronously until the movable valve plate 3 closes the through hole and blocks the rainwater. After the rainwater stops, the piston rod 20 will drive the movable valve plate 3 to open automatically under the elastic force of the spring.
[0032] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a third water pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the water tank 12, and a fourth water pipe 23 is slidably sleeved inside the third water pipe 22. The end of the fourth water pipe 23 away from the third water pipe 22 is fitted onto the outside of the guide pipe 9. The guide pipe 9 has an inlet 24 located on the side of the third water pipe 22. A slider 25 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fourth water pipe 23. A fixing plate 26 is slidably installed on the slider 25. The fixing plate 26 is fixedly connected to the water tank 12. A rack rod 27 is fixedly connected to the slider 25. The rack rod 27 is elastically slidably connected to the fixing plate 26. A gear 28 meshes with the rack rod 27. The gear 28 is connected to the water pump 10 for transmission.
[0033] At work, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the water pump 10 is working during heavy rain, the pump 10 drives the gear 28 to rotate synchronously. The gear 28 drives the rack 27 to move the slider 25. The slider 25 then moves the fourth water pipe 23 away from the water tank 12 until the part of the fourth water pipe 23 that is connected to the guide pipe 9 blocks the inlet 24. When the rain stops, the slider 25 and the rack 27 will move back to their initial positions towards the water tank 12 under the action of the spring. At this time, the fourth water pipe 23 moves to the position shown in the image. Figure 6As shown, the fourth water pipe 23 is connected to the guide pipe 9 through the inlet 24. Then, the rainwater in the water tank 12 can enter the guide pipe 9 in reverse through the third water pipe 22, the fourth water pipe 23 and the inlet 24, and then overflow from the water collection tank 7 into the soil for irrigation. It should be noted that a valve can be installed on the third water pipe 22. When irrigation is needed, the valve can be opened and the rainwater in the water tank 12 can be used for irrigation automatically.
[0034] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of connecting pipes 29 arranged in a circular array are fixedly connected to the protective cover 1. A connecting block 30 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 29 away from the protective cover 1. An insertion port 31 is provided on the connecting block 30. A baffle 32 for blocking the insertion port 31 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 30.
[0035] At work, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, by setting up the connecting pipe 29, connecting block 30 and baffle 32, when multiple seedlings need to be protected at the same time, the protective cover 1 can be put on the outside of each seedling, and then the connecting pipe 29 on the protective cover 1 can be inserted into the adjacent connecting block 30 on the adjacent protective cover 1 to realize the connection of multiple protective covers 1. When the connecting block 30 is not connected to the adjacent connecting pipe 29, the baffle 32 can prevent rainwater in the water collection tank 7 from overflowing.
[0036] Working principle: such as Figures 1-4 As shown, after planting, workers can place the protective cover 1 inside the sapling. The insert rod at the bottom of the protective cover 1 can be inserted into the soil to secure it. The protective cover 1 can be slightly off the ground to allow the soil below it to breathe. Under normal weather conditions, the multiple movable valve plates 3 are in a state of... Figure 2 In the open state shown, the gap between the multiple movable valve plates 3 is close to the size of the through hole, the size of which can be set according to actual needs; when encountering heavy rain, the first drive mechanism will drive the rotating ring 6 to... Figure 2 As shown, when rotated counterclockwise, the rotating ring 6 will drive the movable valve plate 3 to move synchronously via the first connecting rod 5. The movable valve plate 3 will rotate around the rotating shaft 4 connected to the protective cover 1. In the extreme position, multiple movable valve plates 3 can close to form a closed position. Figure 3In the state shown, the small hole in the middle of the movable valve plate 3 represents the trunk thickness of the sapling. It should be noted that as the sapling grows and the trunk thickens, the movable valve plate 3 will rotate until it contacts the trunk and then stop rotating. At this point, the through-hole on the protective cover 1 can still be mostly blocked by the movable valve plate 3. When the movable valve plate 3 is closed, it prevents heavy rain from directly washing away the soil around the sapling. Rainwater falling onto the movable valve plate 3 will flow from the guide channel 8 into the water collection tank 7 until both the water collection tank 7 and the guide pipe 9 are full of rainwater. During heavy rain, the second drive mechanism will drive the water pump 10 to work. After the water pump 10 works, it will pump the rainwater in the water collection tank 7 into the water tank 12 through the guide pipe 9 and the first water pipe 11. This serves to store rainwater, which can be used to irrigate the plants later. After the rain stops, the first and second drive mechanisms stop working. At this time, the rotating ring 6 rotates back to its initial position, the movable valve plate 3 opens, and the movable valve plate 3 will not affect the growth of the trees. Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 1 is designed to consist of two interlocking blocks. The protective cover 1 can be disassembled. When the saplings gradually grow and no longer need protection, the staff can remove the protective cover 1 for reuse. Through the setting of the protective cover 1 and the movable valve plate 3, under normal weather conditions, the movable valve plate 3 is in the open state, which will not affect the growth of the saplings. In the event of heavy rain, the movable valve plate 3 can be quickly closed, covering the through hole and blocking rainwater to prevent rainwater from washing away the soil around the saplings, thus protecting the saplings. After the saplings gradually grow and no longer need protection, the staff can remove the protective cover 1 for reuse. Through the setting of the water collection tank 7, the guide channel 8, the guide pipe 9, the water pump 10 and the water tank 12, the guide channel 8 can guide the rainwater falling on the movable valve plate 3 into the water collection tank 7, and then the water pump 10 can pump the rainwater into the water tank 12 for storage, which can be used to irrigate the saplings later.
