Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of tree support devices, specifically relating to a tree protection and support device that mimics the multi-directional movement of the human body. Background Technology

[0002] Ancient trees, a precious legacy from nature, bear witness to the passage of time, showcase social civilization, and are an important component of historical sites and monuments. They are green "national treasures" carrying the historical memory of our nation and important reference materials for cultural research. Furthermore, ancient trees are species that have survived over a century of changes and natural selection, adapting to environmental shifts. They are the result of centuries of natural selection, "living fossils" recording ecological changes, preserving excellent plant genetic material, and are among the "gems" of my country's forest resources. Protecting ancient trees is protecting our precious human property and preserving historical data on human development.

[0003] In traditional ancient tree protection work, rigid U-shaped supports are used in conjunction with support rods to support the trees. Although this can provide support and protection for the ancient trees, it cannot be adjusted with the growth or size of the trees, which restricts their growth. Furthermore, in storms and snow disasters, the support device cannot move with the swaying of the trees, which can cause it to lose its protective function or even damage the ancient trees. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a tree protection support device that mimics the multi-directional movement of the human body, so as to solve the problem that the existing support devices cannot be adjusted with the growth of tree branches or different sizes, resulting in a limited range of applications.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A tree protection support device that mimics the multi-directional movement of the human body includes a stop assembly, an adjustment assembly, a support member, and a locking assembly, wherein the stop assembly is disposed on the support member; The stop assembly includes a support base and two stop arms, the two stop arms being hinged to both sides of the support base, and a stop area for supporting the tree is formed between the support base and the two stop arms. The adjustment assembly includes a push rod, a transmission assembly, and a drive assembly. The transmission assembly has two transmission ends that move in a first direction perpendicular to the support direction of the tree protection support device. The drive assembly drives the two transmission ends to move towards each other in the first direction. Each transmission end is connected to a stop arm via a push rod. The two ends of the stop arm are respectively hinged to the stop arm and the transmission end, so that the two stop arms move towards each other to adjust the stop position. The locking component locks and limits the adjusting component when the stop arm of the stop component is adjusted to the target stop position.

[0006] In a possible implementation, the transmission assembly includes a transmission rod and a transmission gear. There are two transmission rods arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. The support base is provided with a transmission cavity for each of the two transmission rods. The transmission rods are slidably installed in the transmission cavities. The transmission rods are provided with transmission teeth along the axial direction. The transmission cavity is equipped with transmission gears that mesh with the transmission teeth of the two transmission rods respectively, and the drive assembly drives the transmission gears to rotate.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the locking assembly includes limiting posts and limiting members. The limiting posts are provided in a plurality of form and distributed along the axial direction of the transmission rod. The support base is provided with a sliding groove for the limiting posts to pass through and slide. The limiting members are provided with limiting holes at both ends, and the limiting holes at both ends of the limiting members are respectively connected to the limiting posts on the two transmission rods.

[0008] In one possible implementation, a sliding sleeve is slidably fitted at the end of the transmission rod away from the support base. The transmission rod is connected to the top rod through the sliding sleeve. A limiting protrusion is provided on the transmission rod, and a spring sleeved on the transmission rod is provided between the limiting protrusion and the sliding sleeve.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft and a drive member, the drive shaft being connected to the drive gear, the drive shaft extending out of the support and connecting to the drive member, and the drive member being a handwheel.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the support base is connected to the support member via a universal joint assembly. The universal joint assembly includes a base, a ball joint connector, and a top support limiting member. The ball joint connector is provided on the base and is movably connected to the support base via the ball joint connector. The top support limiting member has at least three threads arranged along the circumference of the base. The top support limiting member is threaded through threaded holes on the base. The end of the top support limiting member has a pressing part for abutting against the support base.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the stop arm is arc-shaped, and a rubber protective pad is provided on the inner side of the stop arm; And / or, the support base is provided with a second rubber protective pad.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the support member includes an elastic support, a support base, and a telescopic support rod connected to the support base. The support rod is telescopically adjustable and is connected to the support base via the elastic support.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the support rod is movably connected to the support base, and a plurality of elastic diagonal braces distributed circumferentially around the support rod are connected between the support rod and the support base.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support base is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the bottom end of the support rod is movably abutted against the arc-shaped groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The tree protection support device of the present invention, which mimics the multi-directional movement of the human body, through the cooperation of the stop component, the adjustment component and the locking component, allows the stop arm of the stop component to flexibly stop and support according to the growth or size of the branches. It has a large adjustment range and the support structure is stable after locking. Furthermore, the stop arm is supported by two hinge points, which avoids the problem of easy deformation of traditional rigid supports and split supports. It has a good support effect and is more applicable to tree branches of different sizes, especially for supporting and protecting ancient trees. Moreover, the universal connection component allows the stop component to move in multiple directions to facilitate installation and trunk swaying, and the top support limit component can adjust the angle and amount of movement, thereby better protecting trees according to the actual situation and improving the protection effect.

[0016] Meanwhile, the transmission rod, through the setting of the sliding sleeve and spring, allows the stop arm to move within a small range when it is in stop support, thus playing a role in flexible support. Furthermore, through the elastic support component, support rod, and elastic diagonal brace, flexible support in multiple axes can be achieved, allowing the tree to sway safely within a certain range. This can adapt to the growth of the tree and facilitate the tree to swing back, forth, left, and right, achieving elastic support in more directions and greatly reducing damage to the tree.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a tree protection support device that mimics the multi-directional movement of a human body, including a stop component 2, an adjustment component 3, a support member 1, and a locking component 4, wherein the stop component 2 is disposed on the support member 1.

[0021] The tree protection support device is used to support trees. Its overall structure can provide flexible support in multiple axes to improve the protection effect of trees. Specifically, it mainly supports trees through the stop assembly 2, the adjustment assembly 3 adjusts the spacing of the stop arms 21 of the stop assembly 2, the support member 1 is used for overall support, and the locking assembly 4 is used to lock and limit the adjustment of the stop assembly 2.

[0022] In an embodiment of this application, the stop assembly 2 includes a support base 22 and two stop arms 21. The two stop arms 21 are hinged to both sides of the support base 22, and a stop area for supporting the tree is formed between the support base 22 and the two stop arms 21.

[0023] The support base 22 can support the main weight of the tree branches and trunks. The two stop arms 21 provide a wrap-around stop and limit from both sides. The stop arms 21 are hinged to the support base 22, which makes it easy to adjust the size of the stop area to accommodate different sizes of tree trunks or branches, and can also be adjusted as the tree grows.

[0024] The adjusting assembly 3 includes a top rod 31, a transmission assembly, and a drive assembly. The transmission assembly has two transmission ends that move in a first direction perpendicular to the support direction of the tree protection support device. The drive assembly drives the two transmission ends to move towards each other in the first direction. Each transmission end is connected to a stop arm 21 via a top rod 31. The two ends of the stop arm 21 are hinged to the stop arm 21 and the transmission end, respectively, so that the two stop arms 21 move towards each other to adjust the stop position. The locking assembly 4 locks and limits the adjusting assembly 3 when the stop arm 21 of the stop assembly 2 is adjusted to the target stop position.

[0025] The push rod 31 connects the transmission assembly and the stop arm 21. As a connecting rod for transmission, under the drive of the drive assembly, the two transmission ends of the transmission assembly can move towards each other. This relative movement drives the push rod 31 to push the stop arm 21, which in turn allows the stop arm 21 to rotate around the junction point, thus achieving clamping and stopping of the tree. When the stop arm 21 is adjusted to the desired position, it is locked and limited by the locking assembly 4. The locking and limiting methods can be various, such as using a limit rod to fix the two transmission rods 32 relatively without restriction.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, with the cooperation of the stop component 2, the adjustment component 3 and the locking component 4, the stop arm 21 of the stop component 2 can flexibly stop and support according to the growth or size of the branches. The adjustment range is large and the support structure is stable after locking. In addition, the stop arm 21 is supported by two hinge points, which avoids the problem of easy deformation of traditional rigid support and split support. The support effect is good and it has better applicability to branches of different sizes of trees, especially to support and protect ancient trees.

[0027] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a transmission rod 32 and a transmission gear 38. There are two transmission rods 32 arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. The support base 22 is provided with a transmission cavity for each of the two transmission rods 32. The transmission rods 32 are slidably installed in the transmission cavities. The transmission rods 32 are provided with transmission teeth 36 along the axial direction. The transmission gears 38 are rotatably arranged in the transmission cavities and mesh with the transmission teeth 36 of the two transmission rods 32 respectively. The drive assembly drives the transmission gears 38 to rotate.

[0028] In this way, the transmission teeth 36 provided on the transmission rod 32 can form a rack structure and mesh with the transmission gear 38. By driving the transmission gear 38 to rotate through the drive assembly, the two transmission rods 32 can move towards each other, which in turn can drive the push rod 31 to drive the stop arm 21 to move. This allows for the adjustment of the stop arm 21, and the adjustment through this transmission structure is more convenient and effective.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the locking assembly 4, the locking assembly 4 includes limiting posts 43 and limiting members 42. The limiting posts 43 are provided in a plurality of manner and are distributed along the axial direction of the transmission rod 32. The support base 22 is provided with a sliding groove 41 for the limiting posts 43 to pass through and slide. The limiting members 42 are provided with limiting holes at both ends, and the limiting holes at both ends of the limiting members 42 are respectively connected to the limiting posts 43 on the two transmission rods 32.

[0030] Multiple limiting posts 43 are provided on the transmission rod 32. The limiting posts 43 slide along the groove 41 as the transmission rod 32 moves. Since the limiting posts 43 protrude from the support base 22 and both transmission rods 32 are provided with limiting posts 43, the limiting posts 43 on the two transmission rods 32 can be connected through the limiting holes at both ends of the limiting member 42. This allows the two transmission rods 32 to be relatively fixed, and then fixed when the stop arm 21 is adjusted to the required position, achieving effective support. Furthermore, the setting of multiple limiting posts 43 allows for locking and limiting of more stopping angles of the stop arm 21, improving practicality and applicability.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to allow the tree to sway within a certain range to achieve flexible support, a sliding sleeve 33 is slidably fitted at the end of the transmission rod 32 away from the support base 22. The transmission rod 32 is connected to the top rod 31 through the sliding sleeve 33. A limiting protrusion 35 is provided on the transmission rod 32, and a spring 34 is sleeved on the transmission rod 32 between the limiting protrusion 35 and the sliding sleeve 33.

[0032] In this way, when trees sway in strong winds and rain or snow, the spring-34 can buffer and reset them, thus achieving flexible support and allowing the branches to sway within a certain range, reducing damage to the trees.

[0033] In specific implementation, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft and a drive component. The drive shaft is connected to the drive gear 38, and extends out of the support base 22 to connect to the drive component, which is a handwheel 37. Rotating the handwheel 37 causes the drive gear 38 to rotate, thus achieving drive. Of course, the drive component can be a motor.

[0034] In an embodiment of this application, the support base is connected to the support member 1 via a universal joint assembly 5. The universal joint assembly 5 includes a base 51, a ball joint connector 52, and a top support limiting member 53. The ball joint connector 52 is provided on the base 51 and is movably connected to the support base 22 via the ball joint connector 52. At least three top support limiting members 53 are threaded around the base 51. The top support limiting members 53 are threaded through threaded holes on the base 51. The end of the top support limiting member 53 has a pressing portion 54 for abutting against the support base 22. The top support limiting member 53 can be a bolt.

[0035] The ball joint connector 52 allows the two connected components to move freely. Its structure is a universal ball joint. The ball joint connector 52 facilitates the adjustment of the tree support device's posture during installation and allows the tree to move in multiple directions within a small angle range, thereby achieving better adaptive support. At the same time, the top support limiter 53 set on the base 51 can be adjusted. That is, by twisting the top support limiter 53, the height of the pressing part 54 can be adjusted, which is the distance between the pressing part 54 and the support base 22, thereby limiting the range and amount of movement, thus providing better support and protection.

[0036] To further reduce damage to trees, the stop arm 21 is arc-shaped, and a rubber protective pad 23 is provided on the inner side of the stop arm 21; and / or, a rubber protective pad 24 is provided on the support base 22.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the support member 1 includes an elastic support member 11, a support base 14, and a telescopic support rod 12. The support rod 12 is connected to the support base 14 and is telescopically adjustable. The support rod 12 is connected to the support base 14 through the elastic support member 11.

[0038] The elastic support member 11 provides elastic support in the axial direction, i.e., longitudinal or near-axial direction, and can cooperate with spring 34 to achieve multi-directional flexible support in different axial directions. The support rod 12 is mounted on the support base 14, providing stability. The support rod 12 is a telescopic structure with an adjustment mechanism. This mechanism can be a locking bolt 13 for tightening or inserting into the inner telescopic arm of the support rod 12, or other existing adjustment structures, without limitation. In specific implementations, the elastic support member 11 can include a telescopic rod and spring 2 sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod, or it can be a rod that can be movably inserted into the support rod 12. Its movement includes sliding along the axial direction and rotating around the axial direction. Sliding along the axial direction allows for elastic support in cooperation with spring 2, while rotating around the axial direction facilitates adjustment of the support position of the stop assembly 2 and the branch.

[0039] In order for the tree support device to cope with extreme environments such as strong winds and snow, the support rod 12 is movably connected to the support base 14, and multiple elastic diagonal bracing members 15 are connected between the support rod 12 and the support base 14 and distributed around the support rod 12.

[0040] By installing elastic diagonal braces 15 around the perimeter, the tree is allowed to sway naturally in the wind, a necessary behavior for maintaining healthy growth and root stability, and it can also return to its original position after movement. The structure in which the support rod 12 is movably connected to the support base 14 allows the support rod 122 to move at multiple angles with the connection point as a fulcrum. The elastic diagonal braces are telescopic rods with built-in springs.

[0041] Specifically, to achieve a movable connection between the support rod 12 and the support base 14, the support base 14 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 16, and the bottom end of the support rod 12 movably abuts against the arc-shaped groove 16. The arc-shaped groove 16 provided on the support base 14 facilitates the movement of the support rod 12 in multiple radial directions. Its groove shape is also called a hemispherical groove. Correspondingly, the bottom of the support rod 12 has a matching hemispherical shape structure, which facilitates the movement of the support rod within the arc-shaped groove 16. Since the elastic diagonal brace 15 connects the support rod 12 and the support base 14 from four sides, the elastic diagonal brace 15 connects the support rod 12 and the support base 14 as one unit, while also achieving elastic support, further realizing dynamic adaptation.

[0042] In summary, the tree protection support device that mimics human body multi-directional movement in this application embodiment can achieve multi-directional support and protection mimicking human body movement through flexible support at multiple angles and along multiple axes, so as to avoid damage to trees when they shake.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be considered as limitations on the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
