[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0028] The meaning of "and / or" described in this application means that the situations where each exists alone or both exist at the same time are included.

[0029] The meaning of "inside" and "outside" mentioned in this application refers to the direction pointing to the tree hole inside the cover plate as inside, and the opposite direction as outside, relative to the cover plate itself; it is not a specific limitation on the device mechanism of this application.

[0030] The term “connection” as used in this application may mean a direct connection between components or an indirect connection between components via other components.

[0031] The meaning of "up and down" mentioned in this application refers to that when the user is facing the cover plate, the direction from the soil layer to the growth direction of the tree branches is up, and the opposite direction is down, rather than a specific limitation on the device mechanism of this application.

[0032] The adjustable tree grate provided by the present application comprises Figure 1 Shown: Cover 1 and movable part 2,

[0033] The cover plate 1 is provided with a tree hole 11 for accommodating the growth of a tree, and a foot support hole 12 is provided outside the tree hole 11;

[0034] The movable part 2 is movably connected to the foot support hole 12;

[0035] When the tree grate needs to use a foot support to support the tree growing in the tree hole 11, the movable part 2 can be turned over and buckled under the cover plate 1, so that the foot support hole 12 remains open to accommodate and fix the bottom of the foot support;

[0036] The tree grate can also turn over and close the movable part 2 on the cover plate 1 after the foot support is removed, thereby closing the foot support hole 12.

[0037] Therefore, the tree grate provided by the present application can not only maintain the flatness of its top use surface, reducing the safety hazard of pedestrians spraining their ankles, but also take into account the characteristics of nighttime luminescence and reflection through the flexible setting of movable parts, and can meet a certain degree of safety lighting and safety reminder needs. The tree grate of the present application has improvements in safety and functional use compared to existing products on the market. In addition, the tree grate provided by the present application is manufactured in one step, and only local cleaning and re-flipping and reinstallation are required when disassembling the tree support. The tree grate of the present application has exactly the same components in different states, and only needs to be molded once, so it can effectively reduce production costs and improve product cost performance.

[0038] Specific reference Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, the movable part 2 can be rotatably connected to the foot support hole 12 through a hinge 21 and / or a rotating buckle. In other implementations, the movable part 2 can also be connected to the foot support hole 12 through a hinge 21 and / or a rotating buckle. Figure 3 The structure shown is directly snap-fitted into the foot support hole 12 .

[0039] The movable part 2 can be embedded with corresponding fluorescent coating, ground lamp, tree spotlight and other luminous materials 22 according to the use requirements. The specific selection of the luminous material 22 is not limited, and can be flexibly combined and used according to the use scene requirements.

[0040] Thus, the present application can set the use surface (top surface) of the tree grate during the use of the tree support as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the upper part, a tree hole is reserved in the center, and tree support holes are reserved at the four corners of the cover plate 1. The cover plate 1 can generally be a square or round plate body that is assembled and spliced. The shape and size of the assembled cover plate can be adjusted according to the design shape and size of the tree hole. Figure 2 As shown. When the movable part 2 is flipped open, its back side (the side without the fluorescent layer) is tightly attached to the cover plate body, and the fluorescent plate embedded in the movable part 2 is connected to the plate body through a light hinge (hinge) made of stainless steel, and the position is flipped and buckled under the cover plate 1 as shown in the figure. During the use of the tree support, the movable fluorescent plate is hidden under the plate body, and the luminescent material 22 is buckled on the back side of the cover plate 1, close to the soil layer where the tree grows, so that the surface of the tree grate is smooth and flat, does not interfere with traffic, and is simple and beautiful. The tree grate of the present application, its main body and connecting parts can be made of stainless steel to ensure subsequent normal use.

[0041] After the tree has grown for a period of time and can be separated from the tree support, the maintenance unit can remove the tree support for recycling. After removing the tree support, remove the cover plate 1 of the tree grate, clean the movable parts of the fluorescent movable plate and the reserved four-legged support holes, remove the loose dirt, and then rotate the fluorescent movable plate, flip the movable part 2 and close it on the cover plate 1, so that it is embedded in the four-legged support holes, fill the holes with the movable part 2, and then remove the tree grate. Figure 3 The posture shown in the middle is installed in the tree pit. At this time, the use surface (top surface) of the tree grate is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the center is a tree hole, the four legs are fluorescent boards, and the luminous material 22 is embedded and fixed in the foot support hole 12, exposed outside the soil layer where the tree grows. The outer frame of the fluorescent board is flush with the tree grate board body, and the thickness is consistent with the tree grate board body, which can keep the surface of the tree grate flat and avoid tripping pedestrians.

[0042] The fluorescent plate sample is Figure 3 Bottom or Figure 2 On the right side, the fluorescent material embedded in the movable part meets the requirements of absorbing light during the day and releasing light and reflecting light at night. The thickness of the movable part is generally set to be flush with the depth of the foot support hole 12, or, consistent with the cover plate 1.

[0043] In a more preferred implementation, the present application preferably configures the cover plate 1 to be a plurality of blocks that can be spliced ​​together, each cover plate 1 is tightly spliced ​​together, and tree holes 11 that can communicate with each other are respectively provided at the splicing center.

[0044] For the convenience of assembly, the present application can generally set each cover plate 1 to a rectangle in accordance with the tree planting space, and accordingly open a fan-shaped tree hole 11 at one corner of the rectangle, and set the foot support hole 12 and the movable part 2 at the other corner of the rectangle. Four identical assembled cover plates have completely consistent structures and materials and can be assembled into a complete tree grate body. The structure of the cover plate 1 can also be flexibly used according to needs, using cast iron, resin or other mature tree grate materials on the market. The cover plates 1 are spliced ​​together to form a whole rectangle, and the tree hole 11 is set at the center of the rectangle formed by the splicing of the cover plates 1, and the foot support holes 12 are respectively at the diagonal edges of the rectangle formed by the splicing of the cover plates 1.

[0045] In common practical scenarios, the present application can set the thickness of the movable component 2 and each cover plate to about 20 mm. The reserved four-leg support hole is located at the diagonal corner of the central tree hole on the assembled cover plate. The leg support hole 12 and the movable component 2 are both set to be circular, and their diameter can be set to about 150 mm, which can accommodate almost all models of tree four-leg support rods on the market. The rotatable assembled hole filling component, that is, the fluorescent movable plate, can be set as a circular component with fluorescent material embedded inside. The outer frame of the movable component 2 is made of waterproof acrylic or stainless material, and is connected to the assembled cover plate with a light hinge (hinge) made of stainless material. The thickness of the outer frame inside the movable component 2 is generally set to be consistent with the cover plate, and the diameter of the movable component 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the leg support hole 12. The cover plate 1 can be flexibly set to a permeable material or be hollowed out according to functional requirements.

[0046] The advantages of this application are:

[0047] The present application fully considers the planting needs of trees in different growth periods after planting. When the four-legged support is needed, the reserved holes can accommodate and assist in fixing the four-legged support components; when the four-legged support is not needed, the holes can be blocked by flipping the movable part 2 in an extremely simple deformation method to prevent pedestrians from tripping due to the uneven surface.

[0048] The movable part 2 of the utility model can fix the movable fluorescent plate on the cover plate through a hinge, so that the movable part 2 and the cover plate form an organic whole, and the installation and use are unified. In some implementations, the movable part 2 can also cancel the hinge and not be fixed, so that the whole becomes two parts of the plate body and the part for filling the reserved hole. In this implementation, when the function of the tree grate needs to be changed, the hole is directly cleaned and the movable part 2 is installed and filled.

[0049] The above alternatives can also solve the functional requirements of tree grates caused by tree growth. Compared with the technical solution of the utility model, the disadvantage of the alternative is that it produces separate components, which need to be stored by the relevant units for subsequent use after the initial installation, or the manufacturer needs to ship them again. Although it increases the cost and difficulty of use, it is more convenient to replace, so it also has certain practical value.

[0050] Compared with the existing technical solutions in the background technology, the utility model makes up for the deficiencies of the existing technical solutions, enriches and optimizes the functions of the tree grate, is simple to produce, install, and change functions, has relatively low production costs, and has a large functional adjustment space. The utility model realizes the flexible adjustment of the functions of the tree grate during the use and removal of the tree support with low cost and simple design, production, and operation, which not only makes up for the functional deficiencies of the existing technical solutions, but also expands the use functions of the tree grate, improves the safety and aesthetics of the tree grate, and is relatively economical. The tree grate of the present application has a much lower cost than the traditional structure than replacing a new tree grate. The present application reserves holes for the tree support rods and provides corresponding components for filling the holes after the tree support rods are removed. The filling components can be connected to the tree grate cover in a simple, feasible, and low-cost manner, which meets and optimizes the use functions of the tree grate, improves product quality, and has a low overall cost. The movable part 2 for filling the holes of the tree grate in the utility model can also be flexibly designed and optimized according to different functional requirements, and has a strong room for growth and improvement.

[0051] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
