DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0023] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a plant leaf pruning device, including gardening shears 1, whose structure mainly comprises two shear blades hinged to each other and an operating handle connected to the ends of the two shear blades. The gardening shears 1 is a tool for pruning leaves conventionally used in the art, and its operation method will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0024] The outer sides of the two cutting blades of the gardening shears 1 are rotatably matched with supporting members 2, and the supporting members 2 can be rotated relative to the outer sides of the cutting blades, so that the angle between the two supporting members 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of pruning work. In addition, a storage bag 3 is installed at the lower end of the supporting member 2, and the leaves that fall after being pruned by the gardening shears 1 are supported by the supporting member 2 and fall into the storage bag 3 for storage;

[0025] In order to facilitate the storage of the device, the present embodiment further designs the structure of the supporting member 2, and sets it into a foldable storage structure. Specifically, the structure of the supporting member 2 includes a first connecting plate 21, a second connecting plate 22, a third connecting plate 23 and a fourth connecting plate 24, and the first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 are hinged in sequence to form a frame structure;

[0026] The upper opening of the storage bag 3 is connected to the frame structure, and both ends of the second connecting plate 22 and the fourth connecting plate 24 are provided with rotating pins 25, and both ends of the second connecting plate 22 and the fourth connecting plate 24 are hinged to the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 respectively through the rotating pins 25;

[0027] The first connecting plate 21 is rotatably provided with a rotating rod 7 at one end close to the operating handle of the gardening shears 1, and an adjusting gear 2 8 is provided at the rod end of the rotating rod 7. The rotating pin 25 on the end of the fourth connecting plate 24 close to the first connecting plate 21 is provided with an adjusting gear 1 6 meshing with the adjusting gear 2 8.

[0028] The state diagram of the unexpanded support member 2 is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the structure of the two supporting members 2 extends outward along the length direction of the two cutting blades of the gardening shears 1, which occupies a smaller area than when unfolded and is more convenient to store. Figure 2-3 As shown, after the rotary rod 7 is rotated to rotate the adjusting gear 2 8 connected to its rod end, the meshing adjusting gear 1 6 is driven to rotate, and the rotating pin 25 fixing the adjusting gear 1 6 rotates accordingly, driving the fourth connecting plate 24 fixing the rotating pin 25 to rotate relative to the first connecting plate 21. After the fourth connecting plate 24 rotates relative to the first connecting plate 21, the third connecting plate 23 hinged at the other end thereof is pulled away from the shear blade by the fourth connecting plate 24. At this time, the third connecting plate 23 pulls the second connecting plate 22 connected thereto to swing, so that the second connecting plate 22 rotates relative to the first connecting plate 21, and finally the supporting member 2 is unfolded to form a frame-shaped structure. The unfolded state diagram is shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 shown.

[0029] When the device is in use, the frame structure formed by the unfolded support member 2 is connected to the opening of the storage bag 3. When the gardening shears 1 trims the leaves of Amaryllis in the seedling stage, the support member 2 located outside the two cutting blades is adjusted to be butterfly-shaped as a whole. The angle between the two support members 2 can be adjusted according to the actual operating environment to flexibly adjust the operating space. When the gardening shears 1 trims the leaves, the leaves fall between the two support members 2. Since the frame structure formed after the support member 2 is unfolded is connected to the opening of the storage bag 3, the supported leaves can be swung to fall into the storage bag 3 for collection. The operation is simple. Different from conventional gardening shears, this embodiment can support and collect the trimmed leaves, which can reduce the steps of manual cleaning in the later stage and avoid the problems of soil trampling and plant damage caused by manual cleaning of fallen leaves to a certain extent. In addition, the device has a high utilization rate. It can not only trim the leaves of Amaryllis, but also trim withered flowers and large leaves of other plants of the same type after flowering.

[0030] Similarly, when the supporting member 2 needs to be folded and stored, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating rod 7 in the opposite direction to restore the fourth connecting plate 24, the third connecting plate 23 and the second connecting plate 22 to their initial positions.

[0031] Furthermore, a hinge joint 4 is provided between the lower end surface of the first connecting plate 21 and the outer side of the shear blade, and the support member 2 is rotatable relative to the outer side of the shear blade through the provision of the hinge joint 4.

[0032] As attached Figure 5As shown, in order to facilitate the dumping of the collected leaves in the storage bag 3 and the replacement of the damaged storage bag 3 in the later stage, in the present embodiment, the structure of the storage bag 3 is further designed so that it is detachable relative to the structure of the supporting member 2. Specifically, the storage bag 3 comprises a bag body 31 and an elastic rope 32 arranged in a ring shape along the edge of the upper opening of the bag body 31, a plurality of buckles 33 are arranged at the upper end of the elastic rope 32, and a card slot 5 for the buckle 33 to engage is arranged on the lower end surface of the first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24. When the storage bag 3 is installed, the plurality of buckles 33 on the elastic rope 32 correspond to the first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 in sequence. The first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 are installed in the card slots 5 on the lower end surfaces. The elastic rope 32 is elastic to ensure that after the storage bag 3 and the supporting member 2 are installed, the upper end opening of the storage bag 3 is in a tightened state without leaving a large gap between the lower end surface of the supporting member 2, thereby ensuring that the trimmed leaves can smoothly fall into the storage bag 3 for collection. When the storage bag 3 needs to be removed and replaced, the buckle 33 on the elastic rope 32 can be pulled off from the card slots 5 on the lower end surfaces of the first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 in turn. The operation is simple, the structure is detachable, and it is convenient and easy to use.

[0033] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
