Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant bud growth pruning technology. Specifically, it relates to a pine tree pruning and bud removal tool and method for reducing resin exudation. Background Technology
[0002] When pruning pine trees, removing buds is a common practice. However, pine trees contain resin inside, and pruning axillary buds can cause the resin to flow out from the cut surface of the axillary bud and may also damage the axillary bud. Existing bud removal tools usually use puncture or cutting methods, which cannot simultaneously achieve the goal of preventing the loss of resin and dwarfing the axillary bud. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pine pruning and bud removal tool and method to reduce resin outflow. By using the rotating and squeezing setting of the squeezing block, the axillary buds that have penetrated deep into the bottom of the cylinder can be squeezed, so that the axillary bud tissue is squeezed and pushed downward, which destroys the original ecology inside the axillary bud and inhibits the growth of the axillary bud.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] The device includes a cylindrical body, characterized in that a pressing rod is slidably disposed inside the cylindrical body, a movable ring is slidably disposed at one end of the pressing rod, connecting strips are hinged to both sides of the movable ring, and pressing blocks are hinged to the other ends of the connecting strips. There are two pressing blocks, one of which has a No. 1 plate slidably disposed in the middle, and the other has a No. 2 plate slidably disposed in the middle. A bending groove is formed on the surface of the No. 1 plate, a storage groove is formed above the No. 2 plate, and a bending block is disposed below the No. 2 plate. A central column is rotatably disposed on the edge of the cylindrical body, and a rotating column is slidably disposed at one end of the central column.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention achieves the following beneficial technical effects:
[0007] The rotating compression mechanism of the compression block compresses the axillary buds deep beneath the cylinder, pushing the bud tissue downwards and disrupting its original internal structure, thus inhibiting its growth. The rotating column also clamps the edges of the axillary bud, allowing it to fold and rotate, preventing the fruit pulp from repositioning. This folding mechanism also dwarfs the bud. The bending groove, storage groove, and bending block increase friction with the axillary bud, facilitating compression and clamping. The bending groove and bending block also bend the axillary bud, further preventing the fruit pulp from repositioning. Attached Figure Description

[0015] This embodiment provides a pine pruning and bud-removing tool to reduce resin exudation, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1-5 As shown, the instruction manual is attached. Figure 1 This is a front sectional view of the solution, attached to the instruction manual. Figure 2 Corresponds to the instruction manual. Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure is presented in a 3D view using a halved cut. (Instruction manual included.) Figure 3 This is the right-side cross-section of this design; see attached instruction manual. Figure 4 The corresponding instruction manual is attached. Figure 3 A three-dimensional perspective, that is, cutting in half, is provided in the instruction manual. Figure 5 The structure of the central column 11 is shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, a pressing rod 2 is slidably mounted in the middle of the cylinder 1, and the pressing rod 2 slides downwards. A moving ring 3 is slidably mounted at the lower end of the pressing rod 2. The position between the moving ring 3 and the pressing rod 2 is maintained by a pressing spring 23. Connecting strips 4 are hinged to both sides of the moving ring 3, and pressing blocks 5 are hinged to the lower ends of the connecting strips 4. The cylinder 1 is rotatably mounted above the pressing blocks 5. The hinge position between the pressing blocks 5 and the cylinder 1 is on the upper side of the pressing blocks 5, while the hinge position between the pressing blocks 5 and the connecting strips 4 is on the left side of the pressing blocks 5 (referring to the left side of the pressing blocks 5). (See the attached instruction manual.) Figure 1As shown, when the moving ring 3 moves downward, the squeezing block 5 will squeeze and close towards the center. Below the squeezing block 5 is the pine axillary bud operation space. After the squeezing block 5 closes and squeezes, the moving ring 3 can no longer move downward. At this time, the squeezing spring 23 will squeeze, and the squeezing rod 2 will continue to move downward. This will cause the squeezing rod 2 to squeeze downward and control the moving ring 3 to move immediately. The moving ring 3 will stop moving after moving a certain distance, and the squeezing rod 2 will continue to squeeze downward.
[0016] As per the instruction manual Figure 1 As shown, a first plate 6 is slidably mounted on the left extrusion block 5, and a second plate 7 is slidably mounted on the right extrusion block 5. Except for the difference between the first plate 6 and the second plate 7, the remaining structures on the two extrusion blocks 5 are identical. Therefore, a tension spring 13 is also present on one side of the second plate 7. One end of the tension spring 13 is on the extrusion block 5, and the other end is on the first plate 6 (here referred to as the left-side tension spring 13). (See attached instruction manual.) Figure 1 When tensioned, spring 13 is in its extended state. Side blocks 14 are fixed to one side of plates 6 and 7, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 2 and 4 As shown, it can hold the edge of plate 7 and pass through the edge of the extrusion block 5, so that the edge block 14 is in the instruction manual attached. Figure 2 The viewpoint slides inward (see instruction manual). Figure 4 (The viewpoint is moving to the right). A positioning block 15 is set at the end of the rotation path. A slope is set below the positioning block 15, and a corresponding slope is set on one side of the edge block 14, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 15 is integrally set below the cylinder 1, waiting for the side block 14 to rotate over. The side block 14 rotates together with the extrusion block 5 and reaches the inclined surface of the positioning block 15. Under the guidance of the inclined surface, the side block 14 slides to the right. As the side block 14 slides to the right, the first plate 6 is released (since the side block 14 and the positioning block 15 are symmetrically set in this scheme, the second plate 7 can also be released during the rotation of the extrusion block 5). The first plate 6 and the second plate 7 are released and quickly reset under the action of the tension spring 13, so that the two sides of the clamped pine axillary bud can be released.
[0017] To enable reuse, a spring support can be provided on one side of edge block 14, so that edge block 14, as shown in the instruction manual, can be used. Figure 4 As shown, it can be reset after being squeezed, and the side of the central column 11 also has a torsion spring 16, which can be reset after rotation.
[0018] The above describes the movement of the moving ring 3. As the moving ring 3 reaches the bottom of this design, the extrusion rod 2 can continue to move downwards after the moving ring 3 reaches its position. Because the compressible extrusion spring 23 has an extension bar integrally provided on the side of the extrusion rod 2, and a rack 18 is correspondingly provided below the path of the extension bar, when the first plate 6 and the second plate 7 are released, the bottom of the extension bar will contact the top of the rack 18. Because the rack 18 is vertically slidably provided on the side of the cylinder 1, the extension bar will push against the rack 18 and move downwards together. The downward movement of the rack 18 can drive the central column 11 to rotate.
[0019] Because one side of the rack 18 is a rotating gear 17, and the rotating gear 17 is integrally set in the middle of the central column 11, the downward movement of the rack 18 will cause the central column 11 to rotate. The rotating column 12 is slidably set on the central column 11, and the central column 11 will drive the rotating column 12 to rotate together. At this time, one end of the rotating column 12 has contacted the edge of the pine axillary bud. The contact principle of the rotating column 12 will be introduced later. Because the rotating column 12 rotates, the squeezed pine axillary bud will rotate and fold, resulting in the effect of folding and bending the pine axillary bud.
[0020] The previous section described how the rotating column 12 contacts the edge of the pine axillary bud. This section describes how the rotating column 12 contacts the edge of the pine axillary bud. A release groove 21 is provided on the top of the rotating column 12, and a release strip 22 is inserted into the surface of the release groove 21. An internal spring 20 is provided between the rotating column 12 and the central column 11, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 5 As shown, the internal spring 20 is compressed at this time. When the release bar 22 moves upward, it will release the rotating column 12, causing the rotating column 12 to move closer to the pine axilla. The rotating column 12 is provided with an entry groove 19 on its side, which can be inserted into the side of the pine axilla for rotation and bending. The release bar 22 is vertically slidably set on the side of the cylinder 1, and its upper part is arc-shaped. This arc-shaped structure blocks the rotation path of the extrusion block 5. As the extrusion block 5 rotates to the last position, it will compress the release bar 22 to move upward. The upward movement of the release bar 22 will release the rotating column 12. The triggering principle of the release bar 22 is the same as that of the side block 14. Both are triggered by the rotating extrusion block 5. However, the side block 14 rotates with the extrusion block 5, while the release bar 22 waits at the end point for the extrusion block 5 to rotate and compress.
[0021] The timing of the compression of the release bar 22 is described. The compression timing of the release bar 22 is slightly later than the compression timing of the side block 14, but earlier than the contact timing between the rack 18 and the extension bar. In order to make the release bar 22 stable, a spring can be installed above the arc-shaped structure of the release bar 22. This spring is set between the arc-shaped structure and the cylinder 1.
[0022] A bending groove 8 is provided on one side of the first plate 6. The bending groove 8 can rotate and fit with the bending block on the second plate 7. This will cause the pine axillary bud to be squeezed to form a bent section, making it difficult to restore the pine axillary bud after squeezing. A storage groove 9 is provided on the second plate 7. The storage groove 9 can store a part of the cell tissue, increase the mass of the pine axillary bud tip, and prevent the pine axillary bud from being blown back by the wind.
[0023] Secondly, the bending groove, storage groove 9, and bending block can increase the friction with the pine axillary buds, making it less likely for the pine axillary buds to slip when squeezed.
[0024] An extrusion rod 2 is slidably mounted inside the cylinder 1. A moving ring 3 is slidably mounted at one end of the extrusion rod 2. Connecting strips 4 are hinged to both sides of the moving ring 3, and extrusion blocks 5 are hinged to the other ends of the connecting strips 4. There are two extrusion blocks 5. A first plate 6 is slidably mounted in the middle of one extrusion block 5, and a second plate 7 is slidably mounted in the middle of the other extrusion block 5. A bending groove 8 is formed on the surface of the first plate 6, a storage groove 9 is formed above the second plate 7, and a bending block 10 is set below the second plate 7. A central column 11 is rotatably mounted on the side of the cylinder 1, and a rotating column 12 is slidably mounted at one end of the central column 11. A tension spring 13 is set between the first plate 6 and the extrusion blocks 5. A side block 14 is slidably provided on the edge of block 5. A positioning block 15 is integrally provided on the lower surface of cylinder 1. A torsion spring 16 is provided at one end of the central column 11. A rotating gear 17 is integrally provided in the middle of the central column 11. A rack 18 is meshed on one side of the rotating gear 17. The rack 18 is slidably provided on the edge of cylinder 1. An inlet groove 19 is provided on one side of the rotating column 12. An internal spring 20 is provided on the other side of the rotating column 12. A release groove 21 is provided on the top of the rotating column 12. A release strip 22 is engaged on the surface of the release groove 21. The release strip 22 is slidably provided on the edge of cylinder 1. A compression spring 23 is provided below the compression rod 2. An extension strip 24 is integrally provided on the edge of the compression rod 2.
[0025] This embodiment provides a pine pruning and bud-removing tool to reduce resin exudation, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0026] The axillary buds of pine trees are squeezed into sheets, and the squeezing is done by rotating the squeezing block to shape them.
[0027] The compressed pine axillary buds are formed into curved and storage segments. The bending groove and bending block allow the compressed pine axillary buds to form a curved segment. The bending helps to prevent the internal tissue of the pine axillary bud from reconnecting. The storage groove can store some cell tissue during the compression process, increasing the quality of the tip.
[0028] The compressed pine axillary buds are rotated and folded in half. Because the rotating column can drive the pine axillary buds to rotate, a secondary bending effect is achieved.
[0029] The pine axillary buds, after being rotated and folded, are squeezed and shaped again. The resulting storage segment is then placed into the curved segment and squeezed through the flat surface below the squeezing block (below the No. 1 and No. 2 boards). This squeezes and shapes the storage segment on the curved segment, increasing its anti-loosening performance, hindering the growth of pine axillary buds, and causing the pine axillary buds to become dwarfed.
[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the claims of this patent application.
