Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gardening and greening, in particular to a self-ventilating tree ventilation device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of urban greening and garden construction, the importance of tree ventilation systems has become increasingly prominent. However, the existing technology has many problems in practical applications. First of all, the traditional tree ventilation pipe system lacks flexibility due to the use of fixed-length pipes. It is difficult to adapt to the planting depth of trees of different specifications, resulting in high loss and low adaptability. Although there have been attempts to improve flexibility by designing ventilation pipe systems with adjustable lengths, such as the "Tree Root Ventilation Pipe Group System" of CN212344631U, its physical plug-in connection method is prone to unstable connection and decreased ventilation performance in long-term use. In addition, although the "Tree Pipe and Tree Pit Pipe System" of CN209619968U solves the ventilation and drainage problems, its fixed filter mechanism is difficult to adjust according to changes in soil conditions and is prone to clogging, affecting the effect.

[0003] Further problems include: ancient trees and large landscape trees are affected by soil compaction and poor air permeability and water permeability, which affect the respiration and growth of their roots; existing technologies such as vertical drilling and installation of PVC ventilation pipes have limited gas exchange efficiency, especially when the air pressure is stable; traditional ventilation pipes have limited water storage and water diffusion capabilities during irrigation and need to be densely installed; when the temperature drops in winter, traditional ventilation pipes will drain the root moisture if they do not have a sealing structure; although filling with mixed matrices such as vermiculite can solve winter problems, it will reduce the ventilation effect of the ventilation pipes, leading to blockage and increased replacement costs; street trees and road green space tree pits have thicker ground pavement, which affects soil air permeability and water permeability; trees on slopes are unable to store water and suffer from long-term drought, which affects their growth potential and causes soil erosion.

[0004] To address these issues, this utility model proposes a self-ventilating tree ventilation device, aiming to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a new solution that is intelligent, efficient, and adaptable to changing environments. This device will be able to automatically adjust the flow rate, automatically adjusting the ventilation performance according to soil conditions and tree growth needs, to ensure the healthy growth of tree roots.

The positioning pin 20 is fixed to the connection between the vertical pipe 1 and the horizontal pipe 2 by plugging to ensure the positioning accuracy of the connection.

[0027] Here's how it works:

[0028] 1. Installation process:

[0029] The vertical pipe 1 and the horizontal pipe 2 are connected through a three-way pipe connector 7, and a sealing ring 15 and a reinforcement ring 16 are installed at the connection to ensure the sealing and strength of the connection.

[0030] Ventilation holes 6 are drilled on the walls of the vertical pipe 1 and the horizontal pipe 2. The diameter of the ventilating holes 6 is 1-2 cm. Each ventilating hole 6 is spaced 5-10 cm apart and is distributed in 6 directions.

[0031] The plastic gauze 14 is wrapped around the outer wall of the vertical tube 1 and the horizontal tube 2 and fixed with a fixing ring 19 to ensure that the air vent 6 is not blocked by soil particles.

[0032] The butterfly valve 4 is installed at the top of the vertical pipe 1, and the opening and closing of the butterfly plate 12 is controlled by the knob 13.

[0033] The unpowered hood 3 is installed on the butterfly valve 4 and connected to the butterfly valve 4 through the connecting flange 17.

[0034] 2. Operation process:

[0035] The turbine 9 of the unpowered hood 3 rotates under the action of natural wind, and is rotatably connected to the hood shell 8 through the bearing 10, driving the internal gas to be discharged and replaced with external air.

[0036] The function of the non-powered wind hood 3 ensures the gas flow in the tree's air duct and the exchange with the outside, provides the oxygen required by the roots, and promotes the respiration and growth of the roots.

[0037] When the temperature drops in winter, the butterfly valve 4 is closed by the knob 13. The sealing gasket 18 on the butterfly plate 12 ensures the sealing of the butterfly plate 12 when it is closed, preventing the root moisture from being drained.

[0038] The plastic gauze 14 of the air vent protection layer 5 ensures that the air vents 6 are not blocked by soil particles, and the fixing ring 19 on the plastic gauze 14 ensures the fixation of the plastic gauze 14 during installation.

[0039] Through the above structure and operating principle, this self-ventilating tree ventilation device can effectively solve the problem of urban soil compaction, which leads to poor root breathing and growth. It also promotes air circulation compared to traditional ventilation tubes, solving the problems of limited ventilation and coverage of traditional ventilation tubes. Furthermore, the device facilitates water and fertilizer management, solving problems such as tree water shortages, poor watering, and water-impermeable tree pits. It also increases root space and reduces the workload of water and fertilizer management.

[0040] The following are the test results based on this embodiment:

[0041] This experiment focused on coniferous Pinus tabulaeformis trees in a specific park. Due to the site's compacted soil and the difficulty retaining water on the slopes, resulting in prolonged drought, poor soil aeration and permeability, and low nutrient content, these pines have experienced a long-term decline. This decline is manifested by yellowing needles, minimal new shoot growth (averaging less than 30 cm), and a low number of remaining needles. The selected pines all had a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 13-19 cm and were approximately 10 years old. Eighteen weakened Pinus tabulaeformis trees were selected for rejuvenation and investigation in a first section of the park.

[0042] Eighteen weak Pinus tabulaeformis trees in the park were selected and two treatment groups and one control group were set up, with 6 trees in each treatment group.

[0043] In treatment 1, the pine trees were backfilled with original soil after the device of the present invention was installed. In March, 30 ml of a 3000-fold diluted solution of a water-soluble fertilizer was continuously used for root irrigation three times. In May, 100 L of clean water was used for irrigation. In November, the roots were irrigated once. In treatment 2, the pine trees were irrigated at the same time, but only clean water was used without adding water-soluble fertilizer. The blank control was only irrigated with clean water at the same time, but the device of the present invention was not buried.

[0044] The experiment started on March 1, 2019. From March 1 to November 30 each year in 2019 and 2020, the growth of new shoots and the density were measured once a month, recorded and analyzed by variance with a significance level of 0.05. The results are shown in the table below.

[0045] Table 1 Comparison of rejuvenation effects of Pinus tabulaeformis

[0046]

[0047] As shown in Table 1, the rejuvenation effects of Group 1 device + water-soluble fertilizer and Group 2 device + watering were not significant, but the new shoot growth was significantly greater than that of the control group, indicating that the application of the device of the present invention can significantly increase the new shoot growth of Pinus tabulaeformis. At the same time, although no significant differences were found between the experimental groups, the new shoot growth of the group treated with the device + water-soluble fertilizer in 2020 was still greater than that of the group treated with the device + water. In 2019, the average new shoot growth of Pinus tabulaeformis in the experimental group was about 4 cm longer than that of the control group, and in 2020, it was about 6-9 cm longer than that of the control group. After rejuvenation, the crown density of Pinus tabulaeformis was also improved, and the tree vigor of Pinus tabulaeformis has been greatly improved.
