Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for forestry and fruit tree cultivation, specifically referring to a branch-collecting frame for preventing branch falls in forestry and fruit tree cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] During the cultivation of fruit trees in forestry, fruit tree branches are prone to falling, bending, or even breaking during the fruiting period due to the accumulation of fruit weight and strong winds. This not only affects the normal growth, development, ripening, and harvesting of the fruit, but may also cause irreversible damage to the tree shape, reducing subsequent yield and quality.

[0003] Existing methods for fixing branches mainly involve rope traction and simple support, which have problems such as poor adjustment flexibility, inability to adapt to branches of different thicknesses and levels, lack of buffer structure, and easy to cause compression damage to the bark of branches. At the same time, simple supports are not stable enough in complex forestry terrains such as mountains and slopes, and cannot effectively resist external forces that cause the supports to shift, thus failing to provide long-term reliable protection against falling branches. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned challenges, this invention provides a branch-collecting frame for forestry fruit tree cultivation. Through the coordinated operation of an adjustable base, a precisely driven collecting mechanism, and a buffer anti-fall component, it achieves adaptive collecting and reliable anti-fall protection for fruit tree branches. This frame can adapt to complex forestry terrain and different fruit tree sizes, while also reducing branch damage during the protection process, significantly improving the branch protection effect and cultivation efficiency in fruit tree cultivation.

[0005] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A branch-gathering frame for cultivating forestry fruit trees includes a semi-circular arc-shaped base. Two sets of semi-circular arc-shaped bases are provided, and the two sets of semi-circular arc-shaped bases are connected by a hinge shaft. The two sets of semi-circular arc-shaped bases can be opened and closed by the hinge shaft, making it easy to fit and fix them around the trunk of the fruit tree. A groove is provided on the top of the semi-circular arc-shaped base, and a slider is slidably connected to the groove. A gathering and adjustment mechanism is provided on the slider. The gathering and adjustment mechanism is connected to a buffer anti-fall component. The slider slides along the groove on the top of the base, driving the gathering and adjustment mechanism and the buffer anti-fall component to adjust their positions. The gathering and adjustment mechanism realizes the gathering and positioning of the branches, and the buffer anti-fall component simultaneously plays a role in preventing falls. The gathering and adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic component, a lifting component, and a gathering arm. The telescopic component is provided on the slider, the lifting component is provided on the telescopic component, and the gathering arm is connected to the lifting component.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic assembly includes a movable platform, a movable seat, a drive motor, and a lead screw. The movable platform is fixedly mounted on the slider, and the movable seat is slidably connected to the movable platform. Fixed blocks are provided on opposite sides of the top of the movable platform. The drive motor is mounted on the outer wall of the fixed blocks, and the output end of the drive motor passes through the fixed blocks. One end of the lead screw is connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the other end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the fixed blocks. The lead screw is threadedly fitted to the movable seat. The drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw and the movable seat are threadedly engaged. Under the limiting support of the fixed blocks, the rotational motion of the drive motor is converted into the linear sliding of the movable seat along the movable platform, thereby driving the subsequent lifting assembly and the retracting arm to adjust the horizontal distance.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lifting assembly includes a cylindrical tube, a threaded sleeve, and a threaded rod. The cylindrical tube is mounted on a movable seat, the threaded rod is telescopically mounted inside the cylindrical tube, the threaded sleeve is rotatably mounted at the top of the cylindrical tube, the threaded sleeve is threadedly fitted onto the threaded rod, a top block is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod, a retracting arm is connected to the top block, a guide rod is provided below the top block, and a guide block is provided on the outer side wall of the cylindrical tube. The guide block and the guide rod are slidably sleeved together.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lifting assembly further includes a rotary motor, a drive gear, and a transmission gear. The rotary motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the cylindrical tube, the drive gear is located at the output end of the rotary motor, and the transmission gear is fixedly sleeved on the threaded sleeve. The transmission gear meshes with the drive gear. The rotary motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear meshes with the transmission gear to drive the threaded sleeve to rotate. The threaded sleeve is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod, and under the sliding limiting action of the guide rod and the guide block, the rotational motion of the threaded sleeve is converted into the vertical lifting and lowering of the threaded rod along the cylindrical tube, thereby driving the retracting arm to adjust its height.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer anti-fall assembly includes a buffer sleeve, a buffer spring, and an anti-fall hook. Both sides of the end of the retractable arm are connected to brackets. The buffer sleeve is fixed under the brackets. The buffer spring is connected to the bottom of the inner top wall of the buffer sleeve. The anti-fall hook has an arc-shaped structure. The tail of the anti-fall hook is provided with a sliding rod. The sliding rod is inserted into the buffer sleeve and connected to the buffer spring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an anti-slip pad is attached to the inner side of the anti-fall hook. The surface of the anti-slip pad is provided with anti-slip texture. The retracting arm drives the buffer sleeve and the anti-fall hook to approach the branch through the bracket. The arc-shaped anti-fall hook hooks the branch. When the branch falls under the force, it will compress the buffer spring in the buffer sleeve through the sliding rod. The deformation of the buffer spring absorbs the impact force of the fall. The anti-slip pad increases the friction with the branch, while avoiding direct contact between the anti-fall hook and the branch bark.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the outer wall of the semi-circular base has multiple sets of support blocks arranged in a ring. The support blocks are provided with ground anchors. The ground anchors are detachably connected to the support blocks by threads. The ground anchors can be rotated to penetrate into the soil to fix the base, which is suitable for complex forestry terrains such as mountains and slopes.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects by adopting the above structure: 1. By integrating telescopic and lifting components through the retractable adjustment mechanism, precise adjustment of horizontal distance and vertical height can be achieved through electric drive. It can adapt to branches of different levels and positions of fruit trees, eliminating the need for manual dragging, and has high adjustment efficiency and excellent precision. 2. It adopts two sets of hinged semi-circular arc bases, which can be flexibly opened and closed to be fixed to tree trunks of different thicknesses. Combined with the ring array of threaded ground anchors, it can be firmly fixed to complex terrains such as mountains and slopes, improving the adaptability and stability of the overall device. 3. The cushioning and anti-fall component, through the combination of cushioning spring and arc-shaped anti-slip hook, can effectively absorb the impact of falling branches and prevent them from breaking. At the same time, the anti-slip pad increases friction and prevents branches from sliding, while avoiding damage to the branch bark by the hook, thus achieving both anti-fall protection and branch protection.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a branch-collecting frame for forestry fruit tree cultivation, comprising a semi-circular base 1, a slider 102, a collection and adjustment mechanism 2, and a buffer anti-fall component 3. The two sets of semi-circular bases 1 are hinged together by a hinge shaft to achieve opening and closing. A groove 101 is provided on the top of the base. The slider 102 is slidably embedded in the groove 101 and can slide along the circumference of the groove 101. The collection and adjustment mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 102, and the output end of the collection and adjustment mechanism 2 is connected to the buffer anti-fall component 3.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the retractable adjustment mechanism 2 consists of a telescopic component 201, a lifting component 202, and a retractable arm 203. The telescopic component 201 is fixed on the slider 102 and includes a moving platform 2011, a moving seat 2012, a drive motor 2013, and a lead screw 2014. The moving platform 2011 is fixedly connected to the slider 102, and the moving seat 2012 is slidably mounted on the moving platform 2011. Fixed blocks 2015 are welded to opposite sides of the top of the moving platform 2011. The drive motor 2013 is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the fixed block 2015, and its output end passes through the fixed block 2015 and is connected to one end of the lead screw 2014 through a coupling. The other end of the lead screw 2014 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the fixed block 2015 through a bearing, and the lead screw 2014 and the moving seat 2012 are threadedly matched to realize the conversion of rotational motion into linear motion.

[0019] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the lifting assembly 202 is installed on the top of the movable base 2012 and includes a cylindrical cylinder 2021, a threaded sleeve 2022, a threaded rod 2023, a rotary motor 2027, a drive gear 2028, and a transmission gear 2029. The cylindrical cylinder 2021 is welded and fixed to the movable base 2012. The threaded rod 2023 is movably inserted into the cylindrical cylinder 2021. The threaded sleeve 2022 is rotatably assembled to the top of the cylindrical cylinder 2021 via a bearing and is threadedly adapted to the threaded rod 2023. A top block 2024 is welded to the top of cylinder 2023, and a guide rod 2025 is vertically welded to the bottom of the top block 2024. A guide block 2026 is welded to the outer wall of the cylindrical tube 2021, and the guide block 2026 and the guide rod 2025 are slidably sleeved together to achieve limiting. A rotary motor 2027 is fixed to the outer wall of the cylindrical tube 2021 through a bracket 304. A drive gear 2028 is installed at its output end, and a transmission gear 2029 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the threaded sleeve 2022 and meshes with the drive gear 2028 for transmission. One end of the retracting arm 203 is fixedly connected to the top block 2024, and the other end is welded with brackets 304 on both sides for installing the buffer anti-fall assembly 3.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the buffer fall arrestor assembly 3 includes a buffer sleeve 301, a buffer spring 302, and a fall arrestor hook 303. The buffer sleeve 301 is fixed to the bottom of the bracket 304 by bolts. One end of the buffer spring 302 is welded to the inner top wall of the buffer sleeve 301, and the other end is connected to the top of the slide rod 305. The bottom end of the slide rod 305 is fixed to the tail of the arc-shaped fall arrestor hook 303. The slide rod 305 is movably inserted into the buffer sleeve 301 to achieve telescopic buffering. An anti-slip rubber pad 306 with anti-slip texture is pasted on the inner side of the fall arrestor hook 303. The anti-slip rubber pad 306 is made of flexible rubber material, which takes into account both anti-slip and branch protection.

[0021] like Figure 7 As shown, 4-6 sets of support blocks 103 are welded in a ring array on the outer wall of the semi-circular base 1. Each set of support blocks 103 has a threaded hole. The ground anchor 104 is detachably connected to the support block 103 through the threaded hole. The ground anchor 104 is made of stainless steel and has a conical bottom to facilitate rotation and insertion into the soil.

[0022] In practical use, the two sets of semi-circular bases 1 are opened and closed around the hinge axis and fitted onto the outer perimeter of the target fruit tree trunk. The position of the bases is adjusted so that they are horizontally aligned with the ground. Then, the ground anchors 104 on each set of support blocks 103 are rotated in sequence, causing the ground anchors 104 to gradually penetrate into the soil. Through the coordinated fixation of multiple sets of ground anchors 104, the bases are firmly locked to the ground. The slider 102 is pushed to slide along the groove rail 101 at the top of the base, causing the slider 102 to drive the retraction adjustment mechanism 2 and the buffer anti-fall component 3 to move to the circumferential position corresponding to the branch to be protected. After positioning, the position can be locked by the fastening bolts on the side wall of the slider 102 to prevent displacement. The drive motor 2013 is started, and the drive motor 2013 drives the lead screw 2014 to rotate, driving the moving base 2012 along the moving... The platform 2011 slides linearly, adjusting the horizontal distance of the retracting arm 203 so that the buffer anti-fall component 3 is aligned with the branch to be protected. Then, the rotary motor 2027 is started, and the threaded sleeve 2022 is rotated through the meshing of the drive gear 2028 and the transmission gear 2029. This causes the threaded rod 2023 to rise and fall vertically along the cylindrical tube 2021. The height of the retracting arm 203 is adjusted so that the anti-fall hook 303 is matched with the height of the branch. The arc-shaped anti-fall hook 303 is attached to the outside of the branch. The anti-slip pad 306 is in close contact with the branch, and the anti-slip texture increases friction to prevent slippage. When the branch falls under the force, the buffer spring 302 in the buffer sleeve 301 is compressed by the slide rod 305. The spring deformation absorbs the impact of the fall, thus achieving anti-fall protection. Depending on the growth of the fruit trees, the drive motor 2013 and rotary motor 2027 are started periodically to fine-tune the horizontal distance and height of the retracting arm 203 to ensure the protective effect. When harvesting is finished or when protection is no longer needed, the anti-fall hook 303 is removed by reversing the operation, the ground anchor 104 is rotated to pull out the soil, and the device can be disassembled by opening and closing the base, making it easy to store and reuse.

[0023] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
