Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of rubber planting, and particularly relates to a rubber bowl support frame for rubber trees. Background Art

[0002] The rubber tree is a large tree of the genus Hevea in the Euphorbiaceae family. The plant height can reach 30 meters; the palmate compound leaf has leaflets with glands at the apex. The leaflets are oval, with a short caudate apex at the tip, cuneate at the base, entire, hairless, and the reticulate veins are obvious; the inflorescence is axillary, paniculate, covered with grayish-white pubescence. The calyx lobes of male flowers are ovate-lanceolate, and the calyx lobes of female flowers are larger than those of male flowers; the capsule is oval; the seeds are light grayish-brown with markings; the flowering period is from April to July, and the fruiting period is from August to December. The natural rubber produced by rubber trees is the main raw material for making rubber, and can further be used as raw materials for making paint and soap, can be made into high-quality fibers, can be made into activated carbon, furfural, etc., and can be made into high-grade furniture, fiberboard, plywood, pulp, etc. after chemical treatment.

[0003] When tapping the latex produced by rubber trees, a support frame is usually set on the tree trunk, and a rubber bowl for holding latex is placed on one side of the support frame. However, since the planting time of each rubber tree is different, resulting in different thicknesses, and the size of the traditional support frame is usually fixed. In order to meet the requirements, several support frames with different sizes need to be made, thus there is a problem of time-consuming and laborious work. Utility Model Content

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present application clearer, the preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] See Figure 1 , a rubber bowl support frame for rubber trees, the rubber bowl support frame for rubber trees includes:

[0038] A support ring 1 for supporting the rubber bowl;

[0039] A limiting ring 2 connected to the support ring 1. A plurality of first springs 3 are annularly arranged on the inwardly concave side of the limiting ring 2. An opening 4 allowing the tree trunk to pass through is provided at one end of the limiting ring 2 away from the support ring 1;

[0040] Wherein, one end of the first spring 3 away from the limiting ring 2 abuts against the outer surface of the tree trunk, and the limiting ring 2 is fixed to the tree trunk by the pre-tightening force of the first spring 3.

[0041] Specifically, the rubber bowl has a large opening and a small bottom, with a wide bowl mouth and a narrow bowl bottom, and there is a bowl foot below. The support ring 1 and the limit ring 2 are wound from a single steel bar. The inner diameter of the support ring 1 matches the outer diameter of the bowl foot, and the bowl foot is placed inside the support ring 1. In this way, the lower part of the rubber bowl is supported by the support ring 1, and the rubber bowl is confined within the support ring 1 and cannot fall; the inner diameter of the limit ring 2 should be greater than the outer diameter of the large-sized rubber tree. One end of the first spring 3 close to the limit ring 2 is fixedly connected to the limit ring 2. The first spring 3 is selected from those with excellent elastic properties to ensure that when it is sleeved on a thinner rubber tree, it can also generate a large pre-tightening force, thereby ensuring the tightness between the support frame and the rubber tree. Through the elasticity of the first spring 3, the support frame can adapt to rubber trees of different thicknesses;

[0042] When the limit ring 2 is sleeved onto the tree trunk through the opening 4, if the size of the opening 4 is not enough, the limit ring 2 can be expanded to adjust the size of the opening 4, and then it can be restored to its original shape after being sleeved; meanwhile, the shape of the limit ring 2 can be circular, or it can be designed according to the cross-sectional shape of the tree trunk to improve the adaptability between the two; several first springs 3 are annularly arrayed on the limit ring 2 at equal intervals to ensure the uniformity of the force on the tree trunk.

[0043] In this embodiment, several first springs 3 are annularly arrayed on the side of the limit ring 2 that is recessed inward. Through the elasticity of the first springs 3, the limiting size of the limit ring 2 can be changed, so that the support frame can adapt to rubber trees of different thicknesses, and it is not necessary to manufacture several support frames with different sizes to meet the requirements, which saves labor and time.

[0044] In addition, due to the elasticity of the first spring 3, the limit ring 2 can be applied to rubber trees with relatively large cross-sectional differences.

[0045] Optionally, the diameter of the limit ring 2 is greater than the diameter of the support ring 1.

[0046] Specifically, since the diameter of the rubber bowl is generally smaller than the diameter of the rubber tree, the diameter of the limit ring 2 is greater than the diameter of the support ring 1. In actual production, the diameters of the two can be adjusted according to the working conditions.

[0047] Optionally, the surface of the support ring 1 is wrapped with a flexible rubber layer.

[0048] Specifically, a flexible rubber layer (not shown in the figure) is wrapped on the surface of the support ring 1. The flexible rubber layer has a certain softness, which can prevent the outer surface of the rubber bowl from being damaged due to direct contact with the support ring 1, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the rubber bowl. At the same time, the friction generated when the flexible rubber layer contacts the rubber bowl is relatively large, which can improve the stability during support.

[0049] Optionally, the surface of the flexible rubber layer has patterns or rubber particles.

[0050] Specifically, by providing patterns or rubber particles (not shown in the figure) on the surface of the flexible rubber layer, the surface roughness of the flexible rubber layer is increased, thereby further increasing the frictional force when the flexible rubber layer contacts the rubber bowl and further enhancing the stability during support.

[0051] Optionally, the support ring 1 and the limit ring 2 are integrally formed.

[0052] Specifically, the support ring 1 and the limit ring 2 are formed by winding a steel bar, and are an integrally formed structure. Integral forming can ensure the structural strength and improve the service life.

[0053] Optionally, the surface of the limit ring 2 is covered with an anti-corrosion paint film, and the thickness of the anti-corrosion paint film is 0.1 mm.

[0054] Specifically, by covering the surface of the limit ring 2 with an anti-corrosion paint film, the corrosive medium cannot directly act on the limit ring 2, avoiding corrosion, thereby extending the service life of the limit ring 2. At the same time, the paint film cannot be too thick. If it is too thick, oxygen cannot penetrate deep into the bottom of the coating, resulting in insufficient curing below, causing the bottom to be sticky after the surface of the paint dries hard. The paint film cannot be too thin either, as it will lead to a reduction in the anti-corrosion effect. In this embodiment, the thickness of the anti-corrosion paint film is 0.1 mm, and its thickness is appropriate, with a good anti-corrosion effect.

[0055] Optionally, the first spring 3 is made of a stainless steel first spring.

[0056] Specifically, using a stainless steel first spring can prevent the first spring 3 from oxidation and corrosion, thereby ensuring its use performance and extending its service life.

[0057] Embodiment Two:

[0058] See Figure 2 , based on Embodiment One, optionally, a frustum-shaped tip 5 is provided at one end of the first spring 3 away from the limit ring 2.

[0059] Specifically, the bottom surface of the frustum-shaped tip 5 is fixed to one end of the first spring 3 away from the limit ring 2, and the top surface of the frustum-shaped tip 5 abuts against the outer surface of the tree trunk. Since the contact area between the top surface and the outer surface of the tree trunk is small, the pressure on the outer surface of the tree trunk is large, thereby making the fixation of the limit ring 2 more stable.

[0060] Embodiment Three:

[0061] See Figure 3 , based on Embodiment One, optionally, an arc-shaped rubber gasket 6 is provided at one end of the first spring 3 away from the limit ring 2.

[0062] Specifically, one end of the arc-shaped rubber gasket 6 close to the limiting ring 2 is fixed to the end of the first spring 3 away from the limiting ring 2, and the end of the arc-shaped rubber gasket 6 away from the first spring 3 abuts against the outer surface of the tree trunk. Since the friction coefficient of the arc-shaped rubber gasket 6 is greater than that of the first spring 3, the arc-shaped rubber gasket 6 can generate a greater frictional force with the outer surface of the tree trunk, making the fixation of the limiting ring 2 more stable. At the same time, the arc-shaped rubber gasket 6 has a certain arc shape, with a higher degree of fit with the outer surface of the tree trunk and a more stable fit.

[0063] Embodiment 4:

[0064] See Figure 4 , based on the above embodiments, optionally, a second spring 7 is provided on the bottom end surface of the limiting ring 2, and the second spring 7 forms an angle of 45° with the cross-section of the limiting ring 2;

[0065] Wherein, one end of the second spring 7 away from the limiting ring 2 is connected with an anti-slip rubber block 8, and one side of the anti-slip rubber block 8 away from the second spring 7 abuts against the outer surface of the tree trunk.

[0066] Specifically, one end of the second spring 7 and the limiting ring 2 are fixed by welding, and the other end of the limiting ring 2 and the anti-slip rubber block 8 are bonded together. The second spring 7 forms an angle of 45° with the cross-section of the limiting ring 2, so that the second spring 7 is fixed obliquely downward on the limiting ring 2. One side of the anti-slip rubber block 8 away from the second spring 7 abuts against the outer surface of the tree trunk. In this way, through the pre-tightening force of the second spring 7, the anti-slip rubber block 8 generates a frictional force with the outer surface of the tree trunk to offset part of the gravity of the limiting ring 2 and its rubber bowl and the latex in the rubber bowl, further improving the stability of the device.

[0067] In summary, in this application, a number of first springs 3 are annularly arranged on the inwardly concave side of the limiting ring 2. Through the elasticity of the first springs 3, the limiting size of the limiting ring 2 can be changed, so that the support frame can adapt to rubber trees of different thicknesses, and it is possible to meet the requirements without making a number of support frames of different sizes, saving labor and time;

[0068] In this application, the surface of the support ring 1 is wrapped with a flexible rubber layer to protect the rubber bowl. At the same time, the frictional force generated when the flexible rubber layer contacts the rubber bowl is relatively large, which can improve the stability during support;

[0069] In this application, patterns or rubber particles are provided on the surface of the flexible rubber layer to increase the surface roughness of the flexible rubber layer, thereby further increasing the frictional force when the flexible rubber layer contacts the rubber bowl and further improving the stability during support;

[0070] In this application, by covering the surface of the limit ring 2 with an anti-corrosion paint film, the occurrence of corrosion is avoided, and the service life of the limit ring 2 is extended; the first spring 3 is made of stainless steel to avoid oxidation and corrosion, thereby ensuring its service performance and extending its service life.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not restrictive. Although this application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this application; the dimensions of the drawings have nothing to do with the specific physical objects, and the physical object dimensions can be arbitrarily changed.
