Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a branch pulling device. Background Art

[0002] Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) is a perennial evergreen tree of the genus Macadamia in the family Proteaceae. Its kernel is nutritious, crispy and delicious. It can be eaten fried or raw, with excellent taste. It can be used as a raw material for various high-end snacks. It is known as the best edible nut in the world and has the reputation of "Queen of Dried Fruits".

[0003] Macadamia nuts grow vigorously, so during the cultivation process, the branches need to be pruned to facilitate ventilation and light transmission, facilitate flowering and fruiting, and promote yield.

[0004] However, after the macadamia branches are topped, three new shoots can be drawn out from each branch, which grows fast and has strong tree vigor. After many years, the crown is usually shaded, and the yield is greatly affected, failing to achieve sustained high yields. Therefore, layered tree shape is an important part of cultivation. Usually, a rope is commonly used. Although the rope can pull two branches closer, the distance between the two branches is difficult to control. In addition, when two branches need to be separated and pulled apart, each branch usually needs to be pulled with a rope, and sometimes even a vertical rod needs to be pre-buried to be tied to the other end of the rope.

Detailed implementation manners

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a branch - pulling device includes a storage cylinder 1. One end of the storage cylinder 1 is rotatably installed with a branch - sleeving member 4, and the other end movably houses a telescopic rod 2. The telescopic rod 2 is installed with another branch - sleeving member 4; wherein, the storage cylinder 1 is threadedly connected to the telescopic rod 2.

[0028] The storage cylinder 1 is used to house the telescopic rod 2, so that the telescopic rod can be contracted and extended relative to the storage cylinder.

[0029] When the telescopic rod contracts, the length of the telescopic rod housed in the storage cylinder becomes longer, and the length remaining outside the storage cylinder becomes shorter, so that the connection length between the telescopic rod and the storage cylinder becomes shorter. It can be used to pull two branches closer and shorten the distance between the two branches.

[0030] When the telescopic rod extends, the length of the telescopic rod housed in the storage cylinder becomes shorter, and the length remaining outside the storage cylinder becomes longer, so that the connection length between the telescopic rod and the storage cylinder becomes longer. It can be used to push two branches apart and increase the distance between the two branches.

[0031] The connection between the telescopic rod 2 and the branch - sleeving member 4 is a fixed connection.

[0032] It can be understood that the present utility model is used to change the distance between two branches and can change the growth directions of the two branches.

[0033] It should be noted that one end of the storage cylinder is rotatably connected to a branch - sleeving member. This branch - sleeving member does not hinder the rotation of the storage cylinder. The storage cylinder and the telescopic rod are threadedly connected. Therefore, when the storage cylinder is rotated, when the telescopic rod is screwed into the storage cylinder, it is contracted into the storage cylinder. When the telescopic rod is screwed out of the storage cylinder, it extends out of the storage cylinder.

[0034] A material structure of the telescopic rod and the storage cylinder is given. The storage cylinder and the telescopic rod can be made of 304 stainless steel. It is not easy to rust when being rained on during use, which is beneficial to extending the service life.

[0035] The working mode of the present utility model:

[0036] Select two branches whose distance needs to be changed. Connect a set of branch sleeves 4 rotatably connected to the storage cylinder 1 to one branch, and then adjust the telescopic rod 2 so that the telescopic rod 2 is stored in the storage cylinder 1 or extends out of the storage cylinder 1, facilitating the sleeving of another set of branch pieces 4 connected to the telescopic rod 2 on another branch. Then, rotate the storage cylinder 1 so that the telescopic rod 2 is stored in the storage cylinder 1 or extends out of the storage cylinder 1, realizing the contraction or elongation of the telescopic rod 2, thereby pulling the two branches closer or pushing the two branches apart, and further realizing the change of the distance between the two branches. The growth directions of the two branches can be changed.

[0037] In some alternative embodiments, a structure of the telescopic rod is provided. The telescopic rod 2 is a threaded rod. It is beneficial for adjusting the telescopic rod to be stored in the storage cylinder and extend out of the storage cylinder. The telescopic rod is threadedly connected to the storage cylinder, with a reliable connection; it also has self-locking property, which can facilitate the fixation of the distance between the two branches.
