Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit tree pruning equipment, in particular to a fruit tree pruning device. Background Art
[0002] Fruit tree pruning requires cutting off excess branches on the fruit trees to adjust the shape of the fruit trees and make the distribution of branches more reasonable, which is beneficial for the tree to provide balanced nourishment to the branches of the fruit trees, thereby making the apple fruits more evenly distributed. In addition, in the tree shape after pruning, the distribution of branches is more reasonable, providing a ventilated and light-transmitting environment for fruit growth, thereby increasing fruit yield.
[0003] The height, length, crown width, etc. of fruit trees are different. Therefore, when pruning fruit trees, a folding ladder is usually carried. By stepping on the folding ladder at different heights, the fruit trees are pruned at different gradients. This method has the following main disadvantages: first, the overall stability is poor, which leads to certain safety hazards when used; second, the top of the fruit tree can only be pruned within a small range at one time by using the folding ladder. The crown of the fruit tree outside the range can only be pruned by re-moving the folding ladder, which affects the pruning efficiency. It can be seen that it is of great significance to provide a fruit tree pruning device with high stability in use and which can prune a large range after one installation. Summary of the invention
