Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] The utility model provides an apple tree branch pulling angle opening device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a cylindrical block 1, a pull rod 2 is installed on the top of the cylindrical block 1, a hook assembly 3 is installed on the top of the pull rod 2, a groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical block 1, a hanger 6 is installed in the middle of the groove 5, the hook assembly 3 includes a fixed hook 31 and a movable hook 32, a slot 311 is provided at the end of the fixed hook 31, the movable hook 32 is movably connected to the slot 311, a locking assembly 4 is installed on the inner lower part of the fixed hook 31, the hook assembly 3 is hung on a tree branch and is locked and fixed by the locking assembly 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, the upper and lower adjacent cylindrical blocks 1 are hung by the hook assembly 3 and the hanging bracket 6 .

[0022] Specifically, a spring 312 is disposed inside the slot 311 , one end of the spring 312 is welded and fixed to one end of the movable hook 32 , and the other end of the spring 312 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the slot 311 , and the movable hook 32 is pushed out by the spring 312 .

[0023] Furthermore, the locking assembly 4 includes an arc-shaped pressure plate 41, a threaded rod 42 is installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped pressure plate 41, a threaded hole 313 is provided at the bottom of the fixing hook 31, the threaded rod 42 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 313, and the movement of the arc-shaped pressure plate 41 is achieved by rotating the threaded rod 42, thereby driving it to perform a pressing operation on the branch.

[0024] Furthermore, a gasket 43 is installed on the top of the arc-shaped pressing plate 41. The gasket 43 is made of silicone material to avoid crushing the branches.

[0025] Furthermore, a plurality of slots 61 are provided on the top of the hanger 6 , and the hook assembly 3 is clamped in the slots 61 , so as to facilitate the positioning of the hook assembly 3 .

[0026] Furthermore, a handle 421 is installed at the bottom end of the threaded rod 42 to facilitate manual rotation of the threaded rod 42 .

[0027] Furthermore, the cylindrical block 1 is divided into several different weights, including 2 kg, 3 kg, and 5 kg. By matching a plurality of different weights, various weights can be mounted.

[0028] When using the apple tree branch puller of the utility model, first, the user selects a suitable weight combination of the cylindrical blocks 1 according to actual needs, such as 2 kg, 3 kg or 5 kg, etc., to achieve the desired stretching force. These cylindrical blocks 1 are designed with different weights, which are convenient for users to flexibly match and adjust. The user hangs the hook assembly 3 on the apple tree branch to be stretched. The hook assembly 3 is composed of a fixed hook 31 and a movable hook 32, wherein the end of the fixed hook 31 is provided with a slot 311, and a spring 312 is installed in the slot 311, one end of the spring 312 is welded and fixed to the movable hook 32, and the other end is welded to the inner wall of the slot 311. Under the action of the spring 312, the movable hook 32 is flexibly pushed out to facilitate hooking the branch.
