[0002] Pecan is a kind of nut tree species with relatively high economic value. Its high yield and high-quality fruits make it widely planted worldwide. However, due to the characteristics of the tree species, after high grafting operation on large pecan trees, the branches at the grafting part are often broken due to the action of wind. This kind of breakage not only damages the growth and yield of the trees, but also increases the cost and labor intensity of tree maintenance. At present, the solutions to this problem mainly include using methods such as brackets and bundling for physical support, but these methods have the following deficiencies in practical applications:

[0003] 1. Poor applicability: Most of the existing support methods have fixed sizes and are difficult to adjust according to the diameter and length of the branches, resulting in poor support effects.

[0004] 2. Insufficient stability: In strong wind weather, ordinary support and bundling are prone to failure and cannot effectively protect the branches after high grafting.

[0005] 3. Complicated operation: The installation and disassembly of the existing support devices are cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious, which is not conducive to the efficient management of large-scale plantations. Summary of the Invention

The cooperation between the first connecting rib 12 and the first connecting groove 11 ensures the stable connection between the splicing plates 1; this design enables the device to flexibly adjust the number of splicing plates 1 according to the diameter of the branch, so as to adapt to trees of different specifications.

[0041] Refer to Figures 2-3 , a connecting seat 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the splicing plate 1 for supporting the positioning post 2; the positioning post 2 is fixed to the connecting seat 13 by means of threaded connection, ensuring the stability of the positioning post 2; during the installation process of the device, the height and position of the positioning post 2 can be adjusted by rotating the positioning post 2 to ensure the correct installation of the support rod.

[0042] Refer to Figure 4, one end of the positioning post 2 is fixedly connected with a first ball head 21; through the tightening of the locking cap 4 between the first ball head 21 and the threaded pipe 3, a firm connection between the ball head and the threaded pipe is achieved; one end of the threaded pipe 3 is fixedly connected with a retaining ring 31, and the function of the retaining ring 31 is to limit the sliding range of the threaded pipe 3 to ensure the stability of the device; through slots 32 are formed through the outer side of the threaded pipe 3, and the through slots 32 are equally spaced around the central axis of the threaded pipe 3 for adjusting the height of the positioning post 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to make the device more suitable for the branches of pecan trees, the inner material of the splicing plate 1 of the present utility model is specifically selected and processed. A layer of soft rubber cushion layer is covered on the inner side of the splicing plate 1, and this rubber cushion layer has good flexibility and buffering performance. The rubber cushion layer can effectively protect the tree trunk epidermis and prevent damage to the bark during the fixing process. At the same time, the surface of the rubber cushion layer adopts an anti-slip design, which can increase the friction between the device and the tree trunk, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0047] In addition, the rubber cushion layer also has certain waterproof performance, which can prevent moisture from seeping into the interior of the device in rainy days or humid environments, and protect the metal parts of the device from rust. To ensure the environmental protection and safety of the rubber cushion layer, natural rubber materials meeting environmental protection standards are selected in this embodiment. This material is non-toxic and harmless and will not have negative impacts on trees and the environment.

Snap the connecting head 5 onto one end of the splicing plate 1, and snap the tightening head 6 onto the other end.

[0051] Pass the locking belt 62 through the plug-in member 52, and insert the plug-in post 63 into the through hole 621, so that it can be fixed on branches of different diameters.

[0052] Then, insert the positioning post 2 into the retaining ring 31, screw one end of the positioning post 2 onto the connecting seat 13, and then screw the locking cap 4 tightly onto the threaded tube 3. As the locking cap 4 is tightened, the first ball head 21 will be fixed between the threaded tube 3 and the locking cap 4. When tightening the locking cap 4, make the plug-in cap 411 face downwards; this facilitates inserting the support rod into the plug-in cap 411.

[0053] Then, select support rods of different lengths according to the height of the plug-in cap 411 from the ground. The support rods can be bamboo or branches. Insert one end of the support rod into the plug-in cap 411, and insert the other end of the support rod into the soil; in this way, the grafted branches of different diameters can be flexibly fixed, and the wind resistance of the grafted branches can be improved.

[0054] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
