Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a soil ball protection device for tree transplantation, which is used for protecting the soil ball for tree transplantation and belongs to the technical field of soil ball protection devices. Background Art

[0002] When transplanting trees, soil ball protection is one of the key steps to ensure a successful transplant.

[0003] The appropriate diameter of the soil ball is 8 to 10 times the tree's diameter at breast height, and the height of the soil ball is generally about 2 / 3 of the diameter of the soil ball. Root cutting is performed before digging to encourage the tree to grow new roots. This is usually done 1-2 years before transplanting.

[0004] When digging, the trunk should be the center and the digging should be slightly larger than the final size of the soil ball to avoid damaging the root system.

[0005] During the excavation process, the integrity of the soil ball should be maintained as much as possible to reduce damage to the root system. After the soil ball is dug out, the existing technology uses materials such as straw ropes, non-woven fabrics, sacks or wire mesh to package and fix the soil ball to prevent the soil ball from scattering. Use professional lifting equipment, such as a crane or a professional tree transplant sling. During lifting, the rope should be hung under the soil ball, not on the trunk, to avoid damaging the bark. During transportation, ensure that the soil ball is stable to avoid vibration and rolling. Try to shorten the transportation time and avoid long-term exposure to dry or windy environments. The size of the planting pit should be slightly larger than the soil ball to allow the roots to stretch. When planting, be careful to disassemble the soil ball packaging and try to maintain the integrity of the soil ball. After the trees are planted, water them in time and keep the soil moist. That is, the forest transplantation is completed.

[0006] The following technical problems exist in the tree transplantation soil ball protection method in the prior art:

[0007] 1. During transportation and handling, the soil ball is easily scattered due to vibration or improper packaging, resulting in root exposure and damage, affecting the survival rate of trees;

[0008] 2. The protection takes a long time, which may cause the transplantation time to be long, thus affecting the survival rate of the trees. Utility Model Content

[0009] The utility model aims to provide a tree transplant soil ball protection device to solve the problem that in the prior art tree transplant soil ball protection method, the soil ball is easily scattered due to vibration or improper packaging during transportation and handling, resulting in root exposure and damage, which affects the survival rate of the tree.

[0010] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0011] A soil ball protection device for tree transplantation, comprising a soil ball clamp A and a soil ball clamp B that cooperates with the soil ball clamp A to clamp and protect the soil ball;

[0012] The soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B include an outer sandwich shell, an inner flexible protective layer arranged inside the outer sandwich shell, an elastic reset structure is arranged between the outer sandwich shell and the inner flexible protective layer, and fixing plates are arranged on both ends of the outer sandwich shell, and fixing holes are arranged on the fixing plates to cooperate with bolts and nuts.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic reset structure includes a spring arranged on the outer layer sandwich shell, and an arc-shaped member or a spherical member arranged on the spring to support the inner layer flexible protective layer.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer layer sandwich shell includes a side protective plate for protecting the side wall of the soil ball, an upper protective plate and a lower protective plate arranged on the side protective plate for protecting the top and bottom of the soil ball respectively, and a notch matching the tree trunk is arranged on the upper protective plate;

[0015] The elastic restoring structure and the inner flexible protective layer are arranged on the side protective plate.

[0016] Furthermore, a protective layer A for protecting the soil ball is provided on the inner side of the upper protective plate and the lower protective plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a protective layer B connected to the protective layer A and used to protect the tree trunk is provided on the notch.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner flexible protective layer, protective layer A and protective layer B are rubber protective layers.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper protective plate, the lower protective plate and the protective layer A are provided with liquid penetration holes.

[0020] Furthermore, an anti-roll support block is arranged outside any outer sandwich shell.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. The utility model sets the soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B on the soil ball, protects the soil ball by contacting the inner flexible protective layer with the soil ball, and applies a reset force to the inner flexible protective layer through the reset action of the elastic reset structure to support and protect the soil ball. In the process of transportation and handling, the problem of root exposure and damage caused by vibration or improper packaging, which affects the survival rate of trees, can be effectively avoided. The buffering effect of the elastic reset structure can be used to reduce the exposure or damage of the root system caused by vibration, and the soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B can be used to firmly package the soil ball through the fixing holes on the fixing plate and the bolts and nuts. At the same time, the use of this structure can shorten the time consumed for protection, which can effectively avoid the problem of long transplantation time, which affects the survival rate of trees;

[0023] Second, the elastic reset structure in the utility model includes a spring and an arc-shaped member or a spherical member, and has a simple structure. Due to the elastic effect of the spring, the problem of easy damage caused by friction displacement can be effectively avoided;

[0024] 3. The utility model stipulates that the elastic reset structure and the inner flexible protective layer are set on the side protective plate in the outer layer sandwich shell. This is because the soil on the side of the soil ball is damaged and prone to unevenness. The soil compaction is high, the bottom surface of the soil ball is small, and the soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B are set on the soil ball in a push-in manner, which can effectively avoid the problem that the elastic reset structure is easily damaged by excessive friction when the elastic reset structure is set on the upper and lower protective plates. The inner flexible protective layer set on the side protective plate contacts the soil ball under the action of the thrust, and each elastic reset structure is pressed and compressed by the soil ball, and can fix the concave or convex points of the soil ball through its reset action, thereby reducing the problem that the concave points cannot be fixed inward (the existing method can only fix the concave points, so the positions of these concave points form grooves, and the concave points in this case can more or less correspond to the elastic reset structure), and the soil is easily shed due to vibration.

[0025] Fourth, the purpose of providing the protective layer A on the inner side of the upper protective plate and the lower protective plate in the utility model is to prevent the problem that the outer sandwich shell is easily damaged;

[0026] 5. The purpose of providing the protective layer B on the notch of the utility model is to prevent the notch from directly contacting the tree trunk, which may easily cause damage to the tree trunk;

[0027] Sixth, the utility model defines the inner flexible protective layer, protective layer A and protective layer B as rubber protective layers, the purpose of which is that they are elastic and durable, and can be conveniently compressed by the elastic force of protective layer A and protective layer B to quickly push the soil ball clamp A and soil ball clamp B onto the soil ball, and the inner flexible protective layer is elastic, which can prevent the protective strength from being too large and damaging the soil ball and the tree roots inside the soil ball;

[0028] 7. The utility model provides liquid penetration holes on the upper protective plate, the lower protective plate and the protective layer A, so as to facilitate the application of liquid to the soil ball when necessary;

[0029] 8. The utility model provides an anti-roll support block on the outside of the outer sandwich shell, so as to stably support the soil ball through the anti-roll support block and prevent the soil ball from rolling during transportation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] In order to solve the problem that the soil ball protection method for tree transplantation in the prior art is easy to scatter due to vibration or improper packaging during transportation and handling, resulting in root exposure and damage, affecting the survival rate of trees. Figure 1-4As shown, a soil ball protection device for tree transplantation is provided, including a soil ball clamp A1 and a soil ball clamp B2 that cooperates with the soil ball clamp A1 to clamp and protect the soil ball; the soil ball clamp A1 and the soil ball clamp B2 include an outer sandwich shell 3, an inner flexible protective layer 4 arranged in the outer sandwich shell 3, an elastic reset structure 5 is arranged between the outer sandwich shell 3 and the inner flexible protective layer 4, and fixing plates 6 are arranged on both ends of the outer sandwich shell 3, and fixing holes 17 that cooperate with bolts and nuts are arranged on the fixing plates 6. The two outer sandwich shells 3 can cooperate to form a hollow column with the same size at the top and bottom, or a hollow column with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The inner flexible protective layer 4 can be arranged on the upper and lower ends in the outer sandwich shell 3, and can also be arranged on a side that cooperates with the side of the soil ball. The inner flexible protective layer 4 can be a mesh protective layer, or it can be a non-mesh protective layer (such as Figure 3 shown).

[0045] In practice, after the soil ball is dug out, a soil ball clamp A is first sleeved on one side of the soil ball, and then a soil ball clamp B is sleeved on the soil ball to cooperate with the soil ball clamp A, and bolts are passed through the fixing holes 17 on the soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B and fixed by nuts. Here, the inner flexible protective layer 4 flexibly protects the soil ball under the reset action of the elastic reset structure 5, and then double protection is provided through the outer sandwich shell 3. In this embodiment, the soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B are sleeved on the soil ball, and the inner flexible protective layer is in contact with the soil ball for protection, and the resetting effect of the elastic resetting structure is used to apply a resetting force to the inner flexible protective layer to support and protect the soil ball. During transportation and handling, the problem of root exposure and damage caused by vibration or improper packaging, which affects the survival rate of trees, can be effectively avoided. The buffering effect of the elastic resetting structure can be used to reduce the exposure or damage of the roots caused by vibration, and the soil ball clamp A and the soil ball clamp B can cooperate with the bolts and nuts through the fixing holes on the fixing plate to firmly package the soil ball. At the same time, by adopting this structure, the time consumed for protection is short, which can effectively avoid the problem of long transplantation time affecting the survival rate of trees.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] On the basis of Example 1, the elastic reset structure 5 includes a spring 7 arranged on the outer sandwich shell 3, and an arc-shaped member or a spherical member 8 arranged on the spring 7 to support the inner flexible protective layer 4. The elastic reset structure includes a spring and an arc-shaped member or a spherical member, and has a simple structure. Due to the elastic effect of the spring, the problem of easy damage caused by friction displacement can be effectively avoided. In the case where the inner flexible protective layer 4 is a mesh protective layer, the spring 7 needs to be covered with a protective sleeve, one end of the protective sleeve is connected to the outer sandwich shell 3, and the other end is connected to the arc-shaped member or the spherical member 8.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] On the basis of Example 2, the outer sandwich shell 3 includes a side protective plate 9 for protecting the side wall of the soil ball, an upper protective plate 10 and a lower protective plate 11 arranged on the side protective plate 9 for protecting the top and bottom of the soil ball respectively, and a notch 12 matching the tree trunk is arranged on the upper protective plate 10; the elastic reset structure 5 and the inner flexible protective layer 4 are arranged on the side protective plate 9 to prevent the inner flexible protective layer 4 from being easily damaged by the friction between the upper protective plate 10 and the lower protective plate 11 and the soil ball. The side protective plate 9 cooperates with the inner flexible protective layer 4 to effectively prevent water evaporation and keep the soil ball moist.

[0050] In practice, the elastic reset structure and the inner flexible protective layer are provided on the side protective plate in the outer shell. This is because the soil on the side of the soil ball is easily damaged and uneven, the soil compaction degree is high, the bottom surface of the soil ball is small, and the soil ball clamps A and B are pushed into the soil ball. This can effectively avoid the problem that the elastic reset structure is easily damaged by excessive friction when the elastic reset structure is provided on the upper and lower protective plates. The inner flexible protective layer provided on the side protective plate contacts the soil ball under the action of the thrust, and each elastic reset structure is pressed and compressed by the soil ball, and can fix the concave or convex points of the soil ball through its reset action, reducing the problem of soil falling off due to vibration caused by the inward concave points (the existing method can only fix the concave points, so the positions of these concave points form grooves, and the concave points in this case can more or less correspond to the elastic reset structure).

[0051] Example 4

[0052] Based on Example 3, a protective layer A13 for protecting the soil ball is provided on the inner side of the upper protective plate 10 and the lower protective plate 11. The purpose of providing the protective layer A on the inner side of the upper protective plate and the lower protective plate is to prevent the problem of easy damage to the outer sandwich shell.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] On the basis of Example 4, a protective layer B14 connected to the protective layer A13 and used to protect the tree trunk is provided on the notch 12. The purpose of providing the protective layer B on the notch is to prevent the notch from directly contacting the tree trunk, which may cause the tree trunk to be easily damaged. The size of the notch 12 is set according to the needs.

[0055] Example 6

[0056] On the basis of Example 5, the inner flexible protective layer 4, protective layer A13 and protective layer B14 are rubber protective layers. The inner flexible protective layer, protective layer A and protective layer B are defined as rubber protective layers because they are elastic and durable, and can be easily compressed by the elastic force of protective layer A and protective layer B to quickly push the soil ball clamp A and soil ball clamp B onto the soil ball, while the inner flexible protective layer is elastic, which can prevent the protective strength from being too high and damaging the soil ball and the tree roots inside the soil ball. Of course, other materials are not excluded.

[0057] Example 7

[0058] On the basis of Example 6, the upper protective plate 10, the lower protective plate 11 and the protective layer A13 are provided with liquid penetration holes 15. The liquid penetration holes are provided on the upper protective plate, the lower protective plate and the protective layer A to facilitate the application of liquid to the soil ball when necessary. The liquid can be injected from the top side or the bottom side.

[0059] Example 8

[0060] On the basis of Example 7, an anti-roll support block 16 is provided outside any outer sandwich shell 3, so as to stably support the soil ball through the anti-roll support block and prevent it from rolling during transportation.
