Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of forestry equipment technology, specifically to a tree support device for forestry planting. Background Technology

[0002] Newly transplanted saplings or trees in forestry planting are often susceptible to natural disasters such as storms and human damage because their root systems have not yet fully developed. Therefore, it is necessary to use reinforcement methods to support and protect the trees, resist strong winds or other external pressures, provide stable support, help the trees stay upright, and prevent them from falling over.

[0003] Existing tree support devices for forestry planting mostly use wooden frames for binding and support. When encountering strong winds, the existing devices fix the trees too tightly, limiting the trees' natural buffering capacity and causing the trees to be blown down by the wind. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a tree support device for forestry planting, which solves the problem that existing devices fix trees too tightly when encountering strong winds, limiting the trees' natural buffering capacity and causing the trees to break in the wind.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tree support device for forestry planting, comprising a tree trunk, a ring plate provided on the outer wall of the tree trunk, a collar rotatably connected to the outer wall of the ring plate, fastening ropes and air guide plates provided on both sides of the collar, fastening rods rotatably connected to the other two sides of the collar, a base provided on the lower end of the tree trunk, a sliding ring rotatably connected to the upper side of the base, sliders slidably connected to both sides of the upper side of the sliding ring, the upper side of the sliders being fixedly connected to the lower end of the fastening ropes, limiting rods slidably connected to both sides of the outer side of the sliding ring, one end of the limiting rod being located inside one side of the slider, and the lower ends of the two fastening rods rotatably connected to the other two sides of the upper side of the sliding ring.

[0006] The above technical solution addresses the following: When strong winds occur, the wind exerts force on the wind guide plate, causing the collar and slip ring to rotate. This ensures that the line connecting the two fastening ropes is parallel to the wind direction. When strong winds exert force on the tree trunk, posing a risk of breakage, the trunk pulls the fastening rope, causing the slider to slide out from the upper side of the slip ring and breaking the limit rod. This allows the tree trunk to tilt at a certain angle, reducing wind resistance and restoring its own cushioning capacity. This solves the problem that existing devices, when encountering strong winds, fix trees too tightly, limiting their natural cushioning capacity and causing them to break in the wind.

[0007] Preferably, a rope storage box is provided on both outer sides of the slip ring, and a limit rope is provided inside the rope storage box. One end of the limit rope is fixedly connected to a limit ball, and the other end of the limit rope is fixedly connected to the lower side of the slider.

[0008] Preferably, the upper sides of the slip ring are provided with a first groove, the inner wall of the first groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider, and the outer sides of the slip ring are provided with a second groove, the first groove and the second groove are connected, and the outer wall of the limiting rope passes through the second groove.

[0009] Preferably, the diameter of the limiting ball is greater than the maximum aperture of the second groove.

[0010] Preferably, the slip ring has through holes on both outer sides, and the through holes communicate with the sliding groove. The outer wall of the limiting rod passes through the through holes.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting hole is provided on one side of the slider, the inner wall of the limiting hole is in contact with the outer wall of one end of the limiting rod, a groove is provided on the other side of the slider, an ejector bolt is provided inside the other side of the slider, the ejector bolt is located inside the groove, and a threaded hole matching the threaded end of the ejector bolt is provided inside the slider. The limiting hole, the threaded hole and the groove are connected sequentially in the horizontal direction.

[0012] Preferably, a rubber plug is provided on the outer wall of the other end of the limiting rod, and the outer wall of the rubber plug and the inner wall of the through hole are in clearance fit.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the tree trunk is provided with a protective pad, and the outer wall of the protective pad is in close contact with the inner wall of the ring plate.

[0014] Preferably, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fastening rope, and a fixing plate is rotatably connected to both ends of the rotating rod. One side of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collar.

[0015] Preferably, the upper end of the fastening rod is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, one side of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the collar, the lower end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to an adjusting plate, and the lower side of the adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the slip ring.

[0016] Working Principle: During the use of this device, the wind exerts force on the wind guide plate, causing the wind guide plate to rotate the collar, which in turn drives the slip ring to rotate in the same direction through the fastening rod. This causes the line connecting the two fastening ropes to rotate parallel to the wind direction. During this process, the two fastening ropes and two fastening rods pull the tree trunk, achieving the supporting effect of this device. When the wind force reaches a preset range, posing a risk of the tree trunk breaking, the limiting rod breaks, releasing the limit on the slider, allowing the tree trunk to tilt and restore its natural cushioning capacity. During this period, the interference between the outer side of the slip ring and the limiting ball allows the slip ring to support the limiting rope, thereby limiting the tilt angle of the tree trunk and preventing it from falling over. This solves the problem that existing devices, when encountering strong winds, fix trees too tightly, limiting their natural cushioning capacity and causing them to be blown away by the wind.

[0017] This invention provides a tree-supporting device for forestry planting. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This invention uses a wind guide plate to drive the collar and slip ring to rotate, so that the line connecting the two fastening ropes is parallel to the wind direction. With the setting of the limiting rod, when there is a risk of the tree trunk breaking, pulling the fastening rope causes the slider to slide out from the upper side of the slip ring, breaking the limiting rod and restoring its own buffering capacity. This solves the problem that existing devices fix the tree too tightly when encountering strong winds, which restricts the tree's natural buffering capacity and causes the tree to be blown away by the wind.

[0019] 2. By designing the limiting ball with a diameter larger than the maximum aperture of the second slide, the limiting ball and the second slide interfere with each other, thus limiting the distance that the fastening rope can move the slider. This not only restores the natural buffering capacity of the tree trunk but also prevents the tree trunk from tipping over.

[0020] 3. By creating the first groove, the present invention allows the ejector bolt to be stored inside the slider without affecting the relative sliding of the slider and the first groove in the vertical direction. When the limit rod breaks off inside the limit hole, the broken limit rod can be ejected through the threaded connection between the ejector bolt and the slider, and a new limit rod can be replaced, thus realizing the function of reusability of the device.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described 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.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 This invention provides a tree support device for forestry planting, including a tree trunk 2. A ring plate 14 is provided on the outer wall of the tree trunk 2. A collar 13 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the ring plate 14. Fastening ropes 6 and wind guide plates 1 are provided on both sides of the collar 13. Fastening rods 11 are rotatably connected to the other two sides of the collar 13. A base 8 is provided on the lower end of the tree trunk 2. A sliding ring 9 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base 8. Sliding sliders 15 are slidably connected to both sides of the upper side of the sliding ring 9. The upper side of the sliding sliders 15 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fastening ropes 6. Limiting rods 17 are slidably connected to both sides of the outer side of the sliding ring 9. One end of the limiting rod 17 is located inside one side of the sliding slider 15. The lower ends of the two fastening rods 11 are rotatably connected to the other two sides of the upper side of the sliding ring 9.

[0031] Specifically, when transplanting new saplings or trees, branch growth will only begin after the root system has healed. During this process, it is necessary to support and limit their growth to prevent them from tipping over due to human factors or weather conditions. In this device, the collar 13, ring plate 14, base 8, and sliding ring 9 are all interlocking rings for easy attachment to the trunk 2. The inner side of the collar 13 and the outer side of the ring plate 14 rotate relative to each other, and the ring plate 14 provides vertical support and limitation for the collar 13, preventing vertical displacement. The upper side of the base 8 and the lower side of the sliding ring 9 rotate relative to each other, and the base 8 provides vertical support and limitation for the sliding ring 9, preventing vertical displacement. During use, the limiting rod 17 can be made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). By adjusting the fiberglass content, the range of breaking force can be designed, resulting in minimal deformation before breakage and a stable breakage process without fragmentation. By calculating the tree species and size, and taking into account the wind force, the fiberglass content in the limiting rod 17 is adjusted so that when the wind force reaches the preset range and there is a risk of breaking the tree trunk 2, the limiting rod 17 breaks.

[0032] First, fix the base 8 on a flat ground. Install the slip ring 9 on the upper side of the base 8. Fix the slider 15 on the upper side of the slip ring 9 using the limiting rod 17. Install the lower end of the fastening rod 11 on the upper side of the slip ring 9, so that the two fastening rods 11 and the two fastening ropes 6 are evenly distributed around the trunk 2. Install the collar 13 and the ring plate 14 on the outer wall of the trunk 2. Adjust their installation height and make the collar 13 tightly fixed on the outer wall of the trunk 2. The two wind guide plates 1 are located near the two fastening ropes 6 respectively.

[0033] When wind is encountered, the wind exerts force on the wind guide plate 1. Through the two fastening rods 11, which are rigidly connected to the collar 13 and the slip ring 9 respectively, and through the rotational connection between the collar 13 and the ring plate 14, and the rotational connection between the slip ring 9 and the base 8, the wind guide plate 1 drives the collar 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the slip ring 9 to rotate through the fastening rods 11. This ensures that the line connecting the two fastening ropes 6 is always parallel to the wind direction. When the wind force is too strong and there is a risk of breaking the tree trunk 2, the limiting rod 17 breaks, releasing the limit on the slider 15. The tree trunk 2 drives the fastening rope 6 to pull the slider 15 out from the upper side of the slip ring 9, restoring the natural buffering capacity of the tree trunk 2. This allows the tree trunk 2 to reduce wind resistance by tilting itself, thus solving the problem that existing devices fix trees too tightly when encountering strong winds, limiting the natural buffering capacity of the trees and causing them to be broken by the wind.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5Both sides of the outer side of the slip ring 9 are provided with rope storage boxes 7. The inside of the rope storage box 7 is provided with a limit rope 19. One end of the limit rope 19 is fixedly connected to the limit ball 20, and the other end of the limit rope 19 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the slider 15.

[0035] Specifically, the rope storage box 7 provides storage space for the limiting rope 19. When the limiting rod 17 breaks, the fastening rope 6 causes the slider 15 to slide out of the upper side of the slip ring 9. Under the action of wind, the tree trunk 2 tilts, and if the root system is not repaired, there is a risk of falling. At this time, the slider 15 drives the limiting rope 19 through the outside of the slip ring 9 and out from the upper side of the slip ring 9. Through the interference of the limiting ball 20 and the outside of the slip ring 9, the slip ring 9 provides support for the limiting rope 19, and in turn provides support for the slider 15 and the fastening rope 6 to resist the wind. This keeps the maximum tilt angle of the tree trunk 2 within 10°, preventing the tree trunk 2 from falling. It also makes it easier for the staff to straighten the tree trunk 2 later. Thus, while restoring the natural buffering capacity of the tree trunk 2, it also prevents the tree trunk 2 from falling.

[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The upper sides of the slip ring 9 are provided with a first groove 22. The inner wall of the first groove 22 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 15. The outer sides of the slip ring 9 are provided with a second groove 23. The first groove 22 and the second groove 23 are connected. The outer wall of the limiting rope 19 passes through the second groove 23.

[0037] Specifically, one end of the limiting rope 19 is fixed to the lower side of the slider 15, the outer wall of the limiting rope 19 passes through the second slide groove 23, and the main body is set inside the rope storage box 7. When the slider 15 slides out of the first slide groove 22, it drives the limiting rope 19 to move, so that the outer wall of the limiting rope 19 passes through the second slide groove 23 from the rope storage box 7 and is pulled out, thereby helping to achieve the function of preventing the tree trunk 2 from falling over.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 6 The diameter of the limiting ball 20 is greater than the maximum aperture of the slide groove 23.

[0039] Specifically, when the tilt angle of the trunk 2 is close to 10°, the outer wall of the connection between the limiting ball 20 and the limiting rope 19 is attached to the outside of the slip ring 9 and cannot enter the second slide groove 23, so that the limiting rope 19 can no longer be pulled, thereby limiting the tilt angle of the trunk 2.

[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 6 Both sides of the outer side of the slip ring 9 are provided with through holes 18, which are connected to the sliding groove 22. The outer wall of the limiting rod 17 passes through the through holes 18.

[0041] Specifically, when fixing the slider 15, the limiting rod 17 passes through the through hole 18 and slides into the inside of the slider 15, so that the outer wall of the limiting rod 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the slider 15 and the inner wall of the through hole 18 respectively, which interferes with the vertical movement of the slider 15, thereby limiting the fastening rope 6 on the trunk 2, thus realizing the supporting function of this device.

[0042] Please see the appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 A limiting hole 21 is provided on one side of the slider 15. The inner wall of the limiting hole 21 fits against the outer wall of one end of the limiting rod 17. A groove 25 is provided on the other side of the slider 15. An ejector bolt 24 is provided inside the other side of the slider 15. The ejector bolt 24 is located inside the groove 25. A threaded hole matching the threaded end of the ejector bolt 24 is provided inside the slider 15. The limiting hole 21, the threaded hole and the groove 25 are connected sequentially in the horizontal direction.

[0043] Specifically, when fixing the slider 15, the limiting rod 17 passes through the through hole 18 and slides into the limiting hole 21. The fit between the outer wall of the limiting rod 17 and the inner wall of the limiting hole 21 achieves vertical interference with the slider 15, thus helping to realize the supporting function of this device. The design of the ejector bolt 24 being set inside the groove 25 ensures that the ejector bolt 24 will not affect the up and down sliding of the slider 15 in the slide groove 22. When the limiting rod 17 breaks, there is a possibility that one part of the limiting rod 17 may be inconvenient to remove in the limiting hole 21. At this time, the ejector bolt 24 can be threaded through the threaded connection between the ejector bolt 24 and the threaded hole inside the slider 15. By rotating the ejector bolt 24, the ejector bolt 24 can push out one part of the limiting rod 17. After a strong wind, a new limiting rod 17 can be used to limit the slider 15, realizing the supporting function of this device again.

[0044] Please see the appendix Figure 6 A rubber plug 16 is provided on the outer wall of the other end of the limiting rod 17, and the outer wall of the rubber plug 16 and the inner wall of the through hole 18 are fitted with a clearance.

[0045] Specifically, the rubber plug 16 is made of rubber. When limiting the slider 15, one end of the limiting rod 17 is slid into the limiting hole 21, and the rubber plug 16 at the other end of the limiting rod 17 is inserted into the through hole 18. Through the gap fit between the rubber plug 16 and the through hole 18, the friction between the outer wall of the rubber plug 16 and the inner wall of the through hole 18 will prevent the limiting rod 17 from easily sliding out of the limiting hole 21, thereby helping to improve the stability of the limiting rod 17 in limiting the slider 15.

[0046] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The outer wall of the trunk 2 is provided with a protective pad 3, and the outer wall of the protective pad 3 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the ring plate 14.

[0047] Specifically, the protective pad 3 can be made of rubber. Before installing the ring plate 14, the protective pad 3 is installed on the trunk 2. On the one hand, it can protect the bark of the trunk 2 from squeezing and friction damage. On the other hand, it increases the friction between the pad and the inner side of the ring plate 14, making the connection between the device and the trunk 2 more stable.

[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 1 The upper end of the fastening rope 6 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 4, and both ends of the rotating rod 4 are rotatably connected to a fixing plate 5. One side of the fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collar 13.

[0049] Specifically, the collar 13 provides support for the fixed plate 5, and the rotating rod 4 and the fixed plate 5 are rotatably connected. Thus, while providing support for the rotating rod 4, the relative rotation between the fastening rope 6 and the fixed plate 5 can also be realized, which helps to realize the relative rotation between the fastening rope 6 and the protective pad 3.

[0050] Please see the appendix Figure 1 The upper end of the fastening rod 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 12. One side of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the collar 13. The lower end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 10. The lower side of the adjusting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the slip ring 9.

[0051] Specifically, the fastening rod 11 is rod-shaped and has the characteristics of rigidity and elastic torsion. It can be made of materials such as spring steel, glass fiber reinforced nylon, and polyoxymethylene. It provides support for the base 8 through the ground and for the ring plate 14 through the tree trunk 2. This ensures that the distance between the collar 13 and the slip ring 9 is constant when the tree trunk 2 is not tilted. When the wind applies force to the wind guide plate 1, the wind guide plate 1 can drive the collar 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the slip ring 9 to rotate through the fastening rod 11. When the tree trunk 2 is tilted, the rotational connection between the connecting rod 12 and the collar 13, the rotational connection between the fastening rod 11 and the slip ring 9, and the material characteristics of the fastening rod 11 allow the fastening rod 11 to deform and rotate, allowing the tree trunk 2 to tilt, thereby helping to achieve the supporting function of this device.

[0052] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
