[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] The present application provides a decorative tree (not shown in the figure), which may include a main trunk (not shown in the figure) and a branch structure 10 (see FIG. 1 ) provided according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 3 ) or the branch structure 10 provided in the second embodiment (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). There are multiple branch structures 10, and the multiple branch structures 10 are all arranged on the main branch, and the multiple branch structures 10 are arranged along the circumferential direction and axial direction of the main branch. The branch structure 10 will be described together with the description of the decorative tree below.

[0030] In one embodiment, the decorative tree is described by taking a simulated Christmas tree as an example, wherein the pine branches of the Christmas tree are the branch structures 10 in the present application.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3 In the first embodiment, the branch structure 10 includes a branch body 110, and the branch body 110 is provided with needles 111 along its axial direction and circumferential direction. Specifically, the needles 111 are arranged obliquely relative to the axial direction of the branch body 110. More specifically, the branch structure 10 may further include a hook 120, which is installed on the branch body 110. The hook 120 has a bending portion 121, which faces the branch body 110 and is used to support the object 20 to be placed (such as an ornament).

[0032] In the above-mentioned branch structure 10, since the hook 120 is installed on the branch body 110, and the hook 120 has a bending portion 121, when decorating the object 20 to be placed on the branch structure 10, the object 20 to be placed can be directly hung on the bending portion 121, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the object. In addition, the bending portion 121 can also improve the stability of the object 20 to be placed after installation, and reduce the risk of the object 20 to be placed falling.

[0033] In one embodiment, the hook 120 is integrally formed on the branch body 110. In this way, the user can directly hang the ornaments on the hook 120 to achieve quick installation of the ornaments, while also improving the stability of the hook 120 installed on the branch body 110. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the hook 120 is detachably connected to the branch body 110. In this way, when the hook 120 is damaged, a new hook 120 can be replaced, thereby not affecting the hanging of ornaments, nor affecting the use of the decorated tree.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In the first embodiment, the hook 120 includes a first rod 122 and a second rod 123 connected to each other. The first end of the first rod 122 is connected to the branch body 110, and the first end of the second rod 123 is arranged at an angle with the first rod 122 to form a bending portion 121. The bending portion 121 and the branch body 110 are enclosed to form a limiting groove 124. More specifically, common ornaments used to decorate Christmas trees are, for example, decorative balls, decorative dolls, etc., and a circular rope 201 is fixed on the decorative balls or decorative dolls. In this way, when decorating the Christmas tree, the user can directly put the circular rope 201 on the outside of the second rod 123, so that the decorative balls or decorative dolls are hung to the bending portion 121 through the circular rope 201.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first rod 122 and the second rod 123 are integrally formed. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the first end of the second rod 123 is detachably connected to the first rod 122. More specifically, the connection between the first end of the second rod 123 and the first rod 122 is an arc transition.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the second rod body 123 is tilted relative to the axial direction of the branch body 110. Specifically, the second end of the second rod body 123 is closer to the branch body 110 than the first end of the second rod body 123. A gap is left between the second end of the second rod body 123 and the branch body 110 to form an inlet and outlet 125, and the inlet and outlet 125 is connected to the limiting groove 124. In this way, when hanging accessories, the user can directly put the annular rope 201 outside the second rod body 123 through the inlet and outlet 125. In addition, the tilted second rod body 123 can gradually reduce the size of the limiting groove 124 in the direction close to the inlet and outlet 125, so as to prevent the annular rope 201 from easily exiting the limiting groove 124 from the inlet and outlet 125, which eventually causes the accessories to detach from the branch structure 10.

[0037] It should be noted that the “size of the limiting groove 124 ” specifically refers to the vertical distance H between the second rod body 123 and the branch body 110 .

[0038] In one embodiment, the inlet and outlet 125 is disposed toward the top of the branch body 110 (see Figure 1 Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the inlet and outlet 125 is disposed toward the bottom of the branch body 110 (see Figure 2 ), which is equivalent to the inlet and outlet 125 being arranged away from the top of the branch body 110. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the top and bottom of the branch body 110 are based on the main branch of the decorative tree. Specifically, the end of the branch body 110 connected to the main branch of the decorative tree is the bottom, and the end of the branch body 110 away from the main branch of the decorative tree is the top.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the first rod 122 is tilted relative to the axial direction of the branch body 110, and the angle α between the first rod 122 and the branch body 110 in the limiting groove 124 is less than or equal to 90 degrees. In this way, the stability of the ornaments hanging on the bending portion 121 is improved, and the ornaments are prevented from falling off the branch structure 10 easily.

[0040] In one embodiment, the angle between the second rod 123 and the first rod 122 is an obtuse angle. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the angle between the second rod 123 and the first rod 122 is an acute angle. Specifically, the angle between the second rod 123 and the first rod 122 can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0041] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, a limiting protrusion 126 is provided at the second end of the second rod body 123 . The limiting protrusion 126 is used to limit the object 20 to be placed from escaping from the limiting groove 124 along the second end of the second rod body 123 .

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting protrusion 126 extends toward the branch body 110 .

[0043] In one embodiment, the limiting protrusion 126 is detachably mounted on the second end of the second rod 123. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the limiting protrusion 126 is integrally formed on the second rod 123. More specifically, the first rod 122, the second rod 123 and the limiting protrusion 126 are integrally formed.

[0044] To improve the aesthetics of the branch structure 10, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the size of the hook 120 along the first direction F1 is less than or equal to the size of the needle 111 on the branch body 110 along the first direction F1. It should be noted that the "size of the hook 120 along the first direction F1" specifically refers to the length L2 of the hook 120 along the first direction F1; the "size of the needle 111 along the first direction F1" specifically refers to the length L1 of the needle 111 along the first direction F1. Among them, the first direction F1 is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the branch body 110. More specifically, the length L2 of the hook 120 along the first direction F1 can be regarded as the length L2 of the first rod body 122 along the first direction F1. In this way, the hook 120 can be hidden in the needle 111.

[0045] In one embodiment, the length L2 of the hook 120 along the first direction F1 is equivalent to the length L2 of the first rod 122 along the first direction F1 being 6 mm, and the length L3 of the hook 120 along the axial direction of the branch body 110 is 15 mm. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the length L2 of the hook 120 along the first direction F1 may be less than 6 mm (such as 4 mm, 5 mm, etc.) or greater than 6 mm (such as 8 mm, 10 mm, etc.); the length L3 of the hook 120 along the axial direction of the branch body 110 may be less than 15 mm (such as 10 mm, 8 mm, etc.) or greater than 15 mm (such as 18 mm, 20 mm, etc.).

[0046] Figure 4 and Figure 5 A branch structure 10 provided according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The branch structure 10 may include a branch body 110 and a hook 120. The branch structure 10 in this embodiment is a deformation of the branch structure 10 in the first embodiment described above. In the absence of conflict, the connection relationship between the branch body 110 and the hook 120 in this embodiment and the relative position relationship can refer to the description in the first embodiment above. Specifically, the hook 120 may also include a first rod body 122 and a second rod body 123 connected, and the connection relationship between the second rod body 123 and the first rod body 122 and the relative position relationship are the same as those described in the first embodiment. More specifically, the connection relationship between the first rod body 122 and the branch body 110 and the relative position relationship are also the same as those described in the first embodiment. The relative position relationship between the second rod body 123 and the branch body 110 is also the same as that described in the first embodiment. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the above-mentioned first embodiment.

[0047] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, a guide portion 127 is provided at the second end of the second rod body 123 in the hook 120. The guide portion 127 is used to guide the object 20 to be placed to move toward the inlet and outlet 125 to enter the limiting groove 124. Specifically, the guide portion 127 is used to guide the annular rope 201 to move along the extending direction of the guide portion 127, so that the annular rope 201 enters the inlet and outlet 125 and is sleeved outside the second rod body 123. Through the guiding effect of the guide portion 127, the annular rope 201 can quickly and accurately enter the limiting groove 124 to hang the ornaments on the bending portion 121.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide portion 127 is tilted relative to the branch body 110. The end of the guide portion 127 connected to the second rod body 123 is closer to the branch body 110 than the end of the guide portion 127 away from the second rod body 123.

[0049] Continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the connecting portion between the guide portion 127 and the second end of the second rod body 123 is an arc transition. This is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the annular rope 201 passing through the inlet and outlet 125.

[0050] In one embodiment, the distance between the end of the guide portion 127 connected to the second rod body 123 or the second end of the second rod body 123 and the branch body 110 is 1 mm, which is equivalent to the height of the inlet and outlet 125 being 1 mm. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the height of the inlet and outlet 125 can be greater than 1 mm (such as 1.5 mm, 2 mm, etc.) or less than 1 mm (such as 0.8 mm, etc.).

[0051] In one embodiment, the length L2 of the first rod 122 along the first direction F1 is approximately 12 mm. The length L3 of the hook 120 along the axial direction of the branch body 110 is approximately 24 mm. More specifically, the first rod 122 is generally a round rod structure, the diameter of the first end of the first rod 122 is approximately 4.6 mm, and the diameter of the second end of the first rod 122 is approximately 3 mm. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the length L2 of the first rod 122 along the first direction F1 can also be other values; the length L3 of the hook 120 along the axial direction of the branch body 110 can also be other values.

[0052] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the length of the end of the guiding portion 127 away from the second rod 123 along the first direction F1 may be greater than, equal to, or less than a length L2 of the first rod 122 along the first direction F1.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first rod 122, the second rod 123 and the guide portion 127 are integrally formed. This helps to improve the overall structural strength of the hook 120. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the guide portion 127 can be detachably connected to the second rod 123.

[0054] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
