Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of fruit tree planting, and in particular to an auxiliary positioning device for fruit tree planting. Background Technology
[0002] In fruit tree cultivation, the initial management of seedlings has a crucial impact on the healthy growth and high, stable yields of the trees later on. This is especially true for seedlings of common fruit trees such as apples, pears, and peaches, as well as some rare edible fruit plants. In the early stages of planting, their root systems are not fully developed, their stems are weak, and their wind resistance is poor. They are highly susceptible to tilting, bending, or even falling over due to natural wind, rain erosion, or uneven growth. If timely and effective straightening and positioning are not carried out, it will lead to malformed tree structure, intertwined branches, and impaired ventilation and light penetration in the orchard. This will inhibit photosynthesis, reduce the quality of flower bud differentiation, and ultimately result in fewer fruiting sites, lower fruit quality, and reduced yield.
[0003] Currently, in actual production, fruit farmers commonly use pole-supported methods to position young trees, directly tying the trunk or main branches of the tree to bamboo or wooden poles inserted vertically into the ground to guide its upright growth. However, this traditional method has many drawbacks: because fruit trees grow rapidly in the early stages, with the trunk diameter continuously increasing, the long-term fixed tying method easily causes mechanical damage to the bark, forming ring-shaped constrictions that hinder the normal transport of nutrients and water, and in severe cases, can lead to growth stagnation or tree death. In addition, as the trunk grows, the original tying position needs to be frequently adjusted or re-fixed, increasing the frequency and labor intensity of field management. Fruit farmers need to regularly patrol the orchard to loosen, move, or replace the ties, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and resources but also makes it difficult to achieve large-scale, standardized orchard management. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an auxiliary positioning device for fruit tree planting, which can overcome the disadvantages of existing auxiliary support methods for young trees, which are prone to causing mechanical damage to the bark, and the binding position needs to be frequently adjusted and re-fixed as the trunk grows.
[0005] The technical solution is as follows: An auxiliary positioning device for fruit tree planting includes: two arc-shaped bases that are slidably engaged with each other; a rotating sleeve symmetrically rotatably connected to the top of the arc-shaped bases; a sliding rod slidably connected to the inside of the rotating sleeve; two positioning plates, each with symmetrical locking holes on one side, and the upper end of the sliding rod rotatably connected to the positioning plate; plastic locking blocks symmetrically connected to the other side of the positioning plates, and capable of locking into the locking holes; a one-way locking component on the arc-shaped bases for one-way locking of the sliding rod; and a fixing component on the positioning plates for fixing the positioning plates to the trunk of the fruit tree.
[0006] Optionally, the one-way locking assembly includes: a liquid storage frame symmetrically connected to the interior of the arc-shaped chassis; a vertical tube connected to the interior of the liquid storage frame, with evenly spaced circular holes inside the vertical tube, and a cavity inside the vertical tube that is in communication with the circular holes; a connecting tube, with its two ends connected to the cavity inside the vertical tube and the rotating sleeve respectively and in communication; and a sealing mechanism disposed inside the vertical tube for blocking the circular holes.
[0007] Optionally, the sealing mechanism includes: a first sliding rod, slidably connected to the inside of the vertical pipe; a blocking block, connected to the lower end of the first sliding rod, the blocking block being located in the cavity and blocking the top of the circular hole; and a first spring, wrapped around the outside of the first sliding rod, with the two ends of the first spring respectively connected to the first sliding rod and the connecting pipe.
[0008] Optionally, the fixing component includes: a rubber bladder connected to the side of the positioning plate; an arc-shaped frame connected to the side of the positioning plate away from the rubber bladder; a horizontal tube connected to the positioning plate, with both ends of the horizontal tube connected to the rubber bladder and the arc-shaped frame respectively and kept in communication; and a stabilizing mechanism disposed on the arc-shaped frame for stabilizing the shape of the rubber bladder.
[0009] Optionally, the stabilizing mechanism includes: a second slide rod, which is slidably connected to the arc-shaped frame at uniform intervals; an arc-shaped plate, which is connected to the lower end of the second slide rod and contacts the inner wall of the arc-shaped frame; and a second spring, which is wrapped around the outside of the second slide rod and whose two ends are respectively connected to the second slide rod and the arc-shaped frame.
[0010] Optionally, it also includes: a hose connected to the side of the arc-shaped frame and kept in communication; a cylinder connected to the positioning plate, with the end of the hose away from the arc-shaped frame connected to the side of the cylinder and kept in communication; a piston slidably connected to the inside of the cylinder; a third spring connected at both ends to the piston and the cylinder respectively; a moving rod connected to the side of the piston; and a push block symmetrically connected to the moving rod, the push block being located in the locking hole and engaging with the plastic locking block.
[0011] Optionally, it also includes an arc-shaped nozzle connected to the inside of the arc-shaped chassis.
[0012] Optionally, it also includes: ground stakes, which are slidably connected to the arc-shaped chassis at even intervals.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention, by setting up a ring-shaped chassis structure composed of two arc-shaped chassis that slide and snap together, combined with a rotating sleeve, a sliding rod, and a positioning plate with a rubber bladder and plastic clips, can achieve adaptive wrapping and fixing of the trunk of the fruit tree. When the trunk grows and thickens, the rubber bladder is compressed, and the internal liquid flows into the arc-shaped frame through the horizontal pipe, pushing the arc-shaped plate and the second sliding rod to move upward. The second spring is stretched, so that the rubber bladder automatically expands as the trunk diameter increases. This can avoid the mechanical damage to the bark and the ring-shaped constriction problem caused by traditional binding methods, and effectively protect the nutrient transport channels of the tree.
[0014] 2. This invention enables the sliding rod to slide and lock in one direction within the rotating sleeve via the left and right sides of the one-way locking component. When the fruit tree grows taller and causes the positioning plate to move upward, the sliding rod is pulled upward, reducing the pressure inside the rotating sleeve. Liquid in the storage frame pushes open the block and is replenished to the rotating sleeve through the round hole, cavity, and connecting pipe. Subsequently, the first spring resets, causing the block to reseal the round hole, preventing the sliding rod from retracting. This design allows the device to automatically adjust the support height as the fruit tree grows, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments to the binding position and significantly reducing management labor intensity.
[0015] 3. This invention utilizes the cooperation of a hose, cylinder, piston, third spring, moving rod, and pusher block. When the trunk diameter grows to a certain extent, liquid enters the cylinder through the hose, pushing the piston to move. The third spring is compressed, causing the moving rod and pusher block to move, pushing the plastic clip out of the clip hole, allowing the positioning plate to automatically detach from the trunk. Simultaneously, the third spring resets, pushing the piston to press the liquid back into the arc-shaped frame. The second spring resets, causing the arc-shaped plate to move downwards, pressing the liquid back into the rubber bladder through the horizontal tube. This allows for automatic unlocking and recycling of the device after the fruit tree has grown, facilitating reuse and improving the intelligence and standardization of orchard management.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] 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.
[0028] Example: An auxiliary positioning device for fruit tree planting, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the device includes an arc-shaped base 1, rotating sleeves 2, sliding rods 3, positioning plates 4, plastic clips 6, a one-way locking assembly, and a fixing assembly. Two arc-shaped bases 1 are provided, and their ends are slidably engaged with each other. Rotating sleeves 2 are symmetrically connected to the top of each of the two arc-shaped bases 1. Sliding rods 3 are slidably connected inside each of the four rotating sleeves 2. Two positioning plates 4 are located above the arc-shaped bases 1. The upper ends of the sliding rods 3 are rotatably connected to the positioning plates 4. (Left...) The front side of the side positioning plate 4 and the rear side of the right positioning plate 4 are symmetrically provided with locking holes 5. The rear side of the left positioning plate 4 and the front side of the right positioning plate 4 are connected with plastic locking blocks 6. The plastic locking blocks 6 correspond one-to-one with the locking holes 5, and the plastic locking blocks 6 have a certain elasticity. The plastic locking blocks 6 can be locked in the locking holes 5, so that the two positioning plates 4 can be connected together. The arc-shaped base 1 is provided with a one-way locking component for one-way locking of the sliding rod 3. The positioning plate 4 is provided with a fixing component for fixing the positioning plate 4 to the trunk of the fruit tree.
[0029] like Figures 3-5As shown, the one-way locking assembly includes a liquid storage frame 7, a vertical pipe 8, a connecting pipe 9, and a sealing mechanism. The two arc-shaped bases 1 are symmetrically connected to the liquid storage frames 7, one in front of the other. Each of the four liquid storage frames 7 is connected to a vertical pipe 8, with a gap between the bottom of the vertical pipe 8 and the inner bottom of the liquid storage frame 7. Multiple round holes 10 are evenly spaced on the lower inner side of the vertical pipe 8, and a cavity 11 is also formed on the lower inner side of the vertical pipe 8, communicating with the round holes 10. Each vertical pipe 8 corresponds to a rotating sleeve 2, and a connecting pipe connects the cavity 11 inside the vertical pipe 8 to the lower part of the rotating sleeve 2. 9. The vertical tube 8 is equipped with a sealing mechanism for blocking the round hole 10. The sealing mechanism includes a first sliding rod 12, a blocking block 13 and a first spring 14. The first sliding rod 12 is slidably connected inside the four vertical tubes 8. The upper end of the first sliding rod 12 extends through the top of the vertical tube 8. The lower end of the first sliding rod 12 is connected to the blocking block 13. The blocking block 13 is located inside the cavity 11. The bottom of the blocking block 13 blocks the top of the round hole 10. The first spring 14 is wound around the outside of the first sliding rod 12. The two ends of the first spring 14 are respectively connected to the first sliding rod 12 and the connecting tube 9.
[0030] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a rubber bladder 15, an arc-shaped frame 16, a horizontal tube 17, and a stabilizing mechanism. Rubber bladders 15 are connected to the facing sides of the two positioning plates 4, and arc-shaped frames 16 are connected to the upper parts of the opposing sides of the two positioning plates 4. A horizontal tube 17 is connected to the middle of the two positioning plates 4, and both ends of the horizontal tube 17 are connected to the rubber bladder 15 and the arc-shaped frame 16 respectively, maintaining communication. A stabilizing mechanism for stabilizing the shape of the rubber bladder 15 is provided on the arc-shaped frame 16. The stabilizing mechanism includes a second slide rod 18, an arc-shaped plate 19, and a second spring 20. Multiple second slide rods 18 are slidably connected at intervals to the upper parts of the two arc-shaped frames 16. An arc-shaped plate 19 is connected between the lower ends of the multiple second slide rods 18, and the arc-shaped plate 19 contacts the inner wall of the arc-shaped frame 16. A second spring 20 is wound around the outer side of each second slide rod 18, and both ends of the second spring 20 are connected to the upper end of the second slide rod 18 and the top of the arc-shaped frame 16 respectively.
[0031] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a hose 21, a cylinder 22, a piston 23, a third spring 24, a moving rod 25, and a push block 26. The upper parts of the two arc-shaped frames 16 are connected to the hose 21 and kept in communication. The front part of the left positioning plate 4 and the rear part of the right positioning plate 4 are both connected to the cylinder 22, and the lower end of the hose 21 is connected to the side of the cylinder 22 and kept in communication. The piston 23 is slidably connected inside the two cylinders 22. The side of the piston 23 away from the hose 21 is connected to the cylinder 22 by the third spring 24. The side of the piston 23 close to the hose 21 is connected to the moving rod 25. The upper and lower sides of the moving rod 25 are connected to the push block 26. The push block 26 is located in the locking hole 5 and is in contact with the plastic locking block 6.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an arc-shaped nozzle 27, and the arc-shaped nozzle 27 is connected to one side of each of the two arc-shaped chassis 1 facing each other.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes ground nails 28, with multiple ground nails 28 slidably connected at intervals on both arc-shaped base plates 1.
[0034] In its initial state, the rotating sleeve 2, the liquid storage frame 7, the connecting pipe 9, and the rubber bladder 15 are filled with an appropriate amount of liquid. When the device is needed, first place the two arc-shaped base plates 1 on the left and right sides of the fruit tree trunk, so that the two positioning plates 4 are also located on the left and right sides of the fruit tree trunk. Then move the two arc-shaped base plates 1 to opposite sides and snap them together so that the two arc-shaped base plates 1 can form a ring. Then move the arc-shaped base plates 1 downwards, which can drive the ground nails 28 downwards, so that the ground nails 28 are inserted into the soil, thereby fixing the arc-shaped base plates 1 to the soil. Then move the two positioning plates 4 to opposite sides. The rotating sleeve 2 and sliding rod 3 can be rotated adaptively, and the sliding rod 3 can slide up and down adaptively inside the rotating sleeve 2 to match the movement of the positioning plate 4. At the same time, the positioning plate 4 can drive the rubber bladders 15 on the left and right sides to move to opposite sides. When the rubber bladders 15 come into contact with the surface of the tree trunk, the liquid inside the rubber bladders 15 is pressurized and flows through the horizontal pipe 17 into the arc frame 16, so that the pressure inside the arc frame 16 gradually increases, thereby pushing the second sliding rod 18 and the arc plate 19 to move upward. The second spring 20 is stretched until the plastic clip 6 is locked in the clip hole 5, thus fixing the positioning plate 4 to the tree trunk. At this time, the plastic clip 6 will interact with the push block 26. As time progresses, the height of the fruit tree gradually increases. Through friction between the tree and the rubber bladder 15, the rubber bladder 15 and the positioning plate 4 gradually move downwards. The positioning plate 4 pulls the sliding rod 3 upwards inside the rotating sleeve 2, reducing the internal pressure. At this time, the liquid inside the storage frame 7 passes through the round hole 10 and pushes the plug 13 and the first sliding rod 12 downwards, compressing the first spring 14. The liquid inside the storage frame 7 then enters the cavity 11 through the round hole 10. Subsequently, the liquid in the cavity 11 enters the rotating sleeve 2 through the connecting pipe 9 to fill the internal space of the rotating sleeve 2, restoring the internal pressure of the rotating sleeve 2 to its original state. At this time, the first spring 14 will return to its original state, driving the block 13 and the first sliding rod 12 to move downwards and reset, so that the block 13 blocks the top of the round hole 10 again. In this way, there is no need to manually adjust the support position of the positioning plate 4 on the trunk of the fruit tree. When the trunk of the fruit tree is affected by the wind and tends to fall, the sliding rod 3 will tend to retract into the rotating sleeve 2 under pressure. Since the rotating sleeve 2 and the connecting pipe 9 are filled with liquid, the sliding rod 3 cannot retract into the rotating sleeve 2. In this way, the arc-shaped base 1, the rotating sleeve 2, the sliding rod 3 and the positioning plate 4 can form a rigid support, thereby supporting and positioning the trunk of the fruit tree and preventing the trunk of the fruit tree from falling due to external forces such as wind.As time progresses, the diameter of the fruit tree trunk gradually increases, allowing the liquid inside the rubber bladder 15 to flow through the horizontal pipe 17 into the arc-shaped frame 16. The arc-shaped plate 19 then moves upwards along the inner wall of the arc-shaped frame 16, thus adaptively adapting to the trunk's diameter and maintaining support. When watering is needed, simply connect the arc-shaped spray pipe 27 to a water source. The arc-shaped spray pipe 27 will then evenly spray water onto the soil, completing the automatic watering process. When the height of the arc-shaped plate 19 increases... When the height of the upper end of the hose 21 represents the diameter of the tree trunk reaching a relatively thick state, the liquid in the arc frame 16 will enter the cylinder 22 through the hose 21. The liquid in the cylinder 22 will push the piston 23 to move away from the hose 21, compressing the third spring 24. The piston 23 can drive the moving rod 25 and the push block 26 to move away from the hose 21. The push block 26 will push the plastic locking block 6 to move away from the hose 21, causing the plastic locking block 6 to disengage from the locking hole 5, thereby enabling the fixed position. Position plate 4 detaches from the tree trunk, and the device can then be removed by the staff. At this time, rubber bladder 15 detaches from the tree trunk, and third spring 24 returns to its original state, driving piston 23, moving rod 25, and push block 26 to move closer to hose 21. Piston 23 can push the liquid in cylinder 22 into hose 21, so that the liquid can return to arc frame 16 through hose 21. Second spring 20 returns to its original state, driving arc plate 19 and second slide rod 18 to move downwards. Arc plate 19... The liquid inside the arc-shaped frame 16 can be pushed into the horizontal tube 17, allowing the liquid to return to the rubber bladder 15 through the horizontal tube 17. Then, the operator can pull the first sliding rod 12 upwards, causing the block 13 to move upwards, so that the block 13 no longer blocks the top of the round hole 10. Then, the operator can push the sliding rod 3 into the rotating sleeve 2, which will push the liquid inside the rotating sleeve 2 back into the connecting pipe 9, allowing the liquid to return to the storage frame 7 through the connecting pipe 9, cavity 11, and round hole 10.
