The top end of the telescopic rod 10 is provided with a cylindrical head, and threads are arranged around the cylindrical head. The bottom end of the connector 2 is provided with a connecting groove, and threads are arranged around the connecting groove. The telescopic rod 10 and the connector 2 are threadedly connected through the cylindrical head and the connecting groove, so that the pruning and shaping device can remove the auxiliary rod 3 during the seedling stage of the fruit tree. When the fruit tree grows, the connector 2 and the telescopic rod 10 can be threadedly connected, and then the branches of the fruit tree can be pruned through the clamping component on the auxiliary rod 3. It is convenient and flexible to use. The connector 2 is provided with an adjusting component through a threaded connector. The auxiliary rod 3 is installed on the adjusting component. Clamping components are fixedly installed on the auxiliary rod 3, the telescopic rod 10 and the main rod 1. When pruning and shaping the growing fruit tree, the installation of the clamping component facilitates pruning and shaping the growing fruit tree. First, insert the main rod 1 into the soil on one side of the fruit tree trunk through the tip base 21, and then clamp the trunk through the clamping component on the main rod 1 to connect the main rod 1 with the lower part of the trunk. Then stretch the telescopic rod 10 to extend the telescopic rod 10 upward to the top of the fruit tree, and then position the connection part of the telescopic rod 10 and the main rod 1 through the positioning component. Then clamp the upper part of the trunk through the clamping component on the telescopic rod 10 and connect it with the telescopic rod 10. At this time, the auxiliary rod 3 is located at the top of the fruit tree. The branches are also connected to the auxiliary rod 3 through the clamping component on the auxiliary rod 3, so as to achieve the purpose of pruning and growing the trunk and branches of the fruit tree and ensure the straight growth of the fruit tree.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , The positioning component includes an elastic element 11, a limiting rod 13, a hole 12 and a limiting hole 14. The elastic element 11 is fixedly installed inside the telescopic rod 10. The limiting rod 13 is fixedly installed on the elastic element 11. The hole 12 is arranged on the telescopic rod 10, and the limiting rod 13 passes through the hole 12 and penetrates the inside of the telescopic rod 10. The telescopic rod 10 is inserted into the inside of the main rod 1. The limiting hole 14 is arranged on the limiting hole 14, and the limiting rod 13 penetrates the inside of the limiting hole 14. When extending the telescopic rod 10, slide the telescopic rod 10 inside the main rod 1 by stretching. When the limiting rod 13 on the telescopic rod 10 moves to the position of the limiting hole 14, the elastic element 11 will restore its elasticity and push the limiting rod 13 into the limiting hole 14 to position the connection position of the telescopic rod 10 and the main rod 1, so as to ensure that the telescopic rod 10 will not slip. At the same time, the telescopic telescopic rod 10 further improves the installation efficiency of the operator.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the clamping assembly includes a first arc-shaped plate 4, a second arc-shaped plate 5, a card slot 7, a groove 9, a clamping block 6 and a convex block 8. The first arc-shaped plate 4 is respectively fixed on the main rod 1, the extension rod 10 and the auxiliary rod 3. The second arc-shaped plate 5 is connected to the first arc-shaped plate 4. The card slots 7 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the first arc-shaped plate 4. The groove 9 is arranged in the card slot 7. The clamping blocks 6 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second arc-shaped plate 5. The convex blocks 8 are arranged on the clamping blocks 6, and the clamping blocks 6 are inserted into the card slots 7 and are snap-connected with the groove 9 through the convex blocks 8. The convex blocks 8 are made of plastic material and have a certain elasticity. When fixing the trunk and branches of the fruit tree through the clamping assembly, first snap the first arc-shaped plate 4 onto the trunk, then snap the clamping blocks 6 on the second arc-shaped plate 5 into the card slots 7, and at the same time the convex blocks 8 will be snapped into the groove 9 to fix the snap connection between the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5. Because the convex blocks 8 are made of plastic material with a certain softness, the convex blocks 8 can be made to enter the groove 9 by applying pressure to the second arc-shaped plate 5. When disassembly is required, just pull the convex blocks 8 out of the groove 9 by an external force.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the adjusting assembly includes a sliding groove 15, an opening 16, a sliding block 17, a threaded groove 18, a threaded rod 19, and a positioning groove 20.

The positioning groove 20 is arranged on the sliding block 17, and one end of the threaded rod 19 is inserted into the positioning groove 20. The threaded grooves 1,8 arranged on the connector 2 are arranged in sequence with a plurality of them. When the angle of the auxiliary rod 3 needs to be adjusted, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the auxiliary rod 3 by installing the adjusting assembly. First, reverse-rotate the threaded rod 19 to move one end of the threaded rod 19 out of the positioning groove 20 to release the limit on the auxiliary rod 3, and then drive the auxiliary rod 3 to slide in the sliding groove 15 through the sliding block 17 to adjust the angle of the auxiliary rod 3. When the auxiliary rod 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the threaded rod 19 is inserted into the threaded groove 18 at this place and enters the positioning groove 20 to fix the position of the auxiliary rod 3, and it can be positioned according to the growth trajectory of the fruit tree, improving the flexibility of the auxiliary rod 3.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , there are multiple sliding blocks 17 slidably arranged in the sliding groove 15. The multiple sliding blocks 17 are respectively connected to the auxiliary rods 3 in different orientations. The auxiliary rods 3 in different orientations are used to bind and position the branches in different directions.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1, the bottom end of the main rod 1 is fixedly connected with a tip base 21. The tip of the tip base 21 facilitates inserting the branch and rod fixing device into the soil to fix the branch and rod fixing device.

[0029] Working principle: When it is necessary to fix the branches and rods of a growing fruit tree, the installation of the clamping assembly facilitates the fixing of the branches and rods of the growing fruit tree. First, insert the main rod 1 into the soil on one side of the fruit tree trunk through the tip base 21, then clamp the tree trunk through the clamping assembly on the main rod 1 to connect the lower part of the main rod 1 with the tree trunk. Then stretch the extension rod 10 so that the extension rod 10 extends upward to the top of the fruit tree. Then, position the connection part between the extension rod 10 and the main rod 1 through the positioning assembly. Then, clamp the upper part of the tree trunk through the clamping assembly on the extension rod 10 and connect it with the extension rod 10. This makes the auxiliary rod 3 located at the top of the fruit tree. The branches are also connected to the auxiliary rod 3 through the clamping assembly on the auxiliary rod 3, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the growth of the trunk and branches of the fruit tree, ensuring the straight growth of the fruit tree. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the auxiliary rod 3, the installation of the adjustment assembly facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the auxiliary rod 3. First, reverse-rotate the threaded rod 19 to move one end of the threaded rod 19 out of the positioning groove 20 to release the limit on the auxiliary rod 3. Then, drive the auxiliary rod 3 to slide in the sliding groove 15 through the slider 17 to adjust the angle of the auxiliary rod 3. When the auxiliary rod 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, insert the threaded rod 19 into the threaded groove 18 at this place and into the positioning groove 20 to fix the position of the auxiliary rod 3. It can be positioned according to the growth trajectory of the fruit tree, improving the flexibility of the auxiliary rod 3.
