[0030] According to the thickness of the branches, counterweight modules 2 of different weights are selected to make the branches hang down to the ideal angle. After the branches are hung, the bamboo clamps 1 and counterweight modules 2 are removed according to the degree of forming. By using the bamboo clamps 1 and counterweight modules 2 in combination, labor efficiency is greatly improved, expenses are saved, and it is flexible and versatile. It will not cause excessive damage to the branches of fruit trees and the effect is outstanding.

[0031] The bamboo and wood clamp 1 of the present invention has two holes to form a clamping groove 104. The small hole is used for small branches and the large hole is used for large branches. As the branches become thicker, the gap between the clamp holes increases with the branches, and no strangulation marks are produced, avoiding the risk of damaging the branches of the fruit trees. At the same time, the work efficiency is high, saving more than 30% of labor wage costs compared with conventional rope branch pulling, and it is in line with the innovative practical technology of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. (Just like a person working the same 8 hours a day in the same park, with the same tree shape and the same age, using the branch puller to pull branches, each person can pull more than 80 branches, compared with conventional rope branch pulling, each person can pull about 50 branches a day, and the work efficiency is improved by more than 30%, thereby saving more than 30% of costs).

[0032] By using the bamboo clamp 1 and the counterweight module 2 in combination, it is convenient to efficiently pull multiple branches of fruit trees. By reasonably bending the branches, it helps to shape the ideal crown shape, making the tree more compact and well-ventilated and light-permeable. Moreover, the bent branches can better distribute nutrients, ensuring that the fruit on each branch can get enough light and nutrition. In the process of pulling the branches, the counterweight module 2 is installed at the corresponding position of the branch through the bamboo clamp 1, and the branch is bent downward by the weight of the counterweight module 2 itself. When installing the bamboo clamp 1, the first clamp 102 and the second clamp 103 are rotated by the clamp spring 101, and then the clamp groove 104 is placed on the branch. After the placement is completed, the first clamp 102 and the second clamp 103 are released, and the clamp spring 101 drives the first clamp 102 and the second clamp 103 to reset and clamp the branch. The hook 202 is installed inside the clip spring 101, and the head of the hook 202 is bent to prevent it from falling off. The counterweight block 201 is a cement mortar material, which provides weight to make the branch bend downward.

[0033] Furthermore, an embedded rod 203 is fixedly connected to the inner center of the counterweight block 201, the top of the embedded rod 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hook 202, a reinforcing strip 204 is installed around the surface of the embedded rod 203, the reinforcing strip 204 is located inside the counterweight block 201, a nut 205 is inlaid at the bottom of the counterweight block 201, the top of the nut 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the embedded rod 203, the bottom of the threaded member 206 is fixedly connected to the first ring body 207, the bottom of the first ring body 207 is provided with a second ring body 209, the first ring body 207 and the second ring body 209 are installed with a connecting buckle 208, and the bottom of the second ring body 209 is fixedly connected to the counterweight adjustment block 210.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting buckle 208 is a climbing buckle.

[0035] Furthermore, the second ring body 209 is cylindrical and made of metal.

[0036] When the counterweight of the counterweight block 201 needs to be adjusted, a counterweight adjustment block 210 of corresponding weight is prepared, and then the connecting buckle 208 is installed in the first ring body 207 and the second ring body 209 to connect the counterweight adjustment block 210 and the threaded member 206. After the assembly is completed, the threaded member 206 is screwed into the inside of the nut member 205, so that the counterweight adjustment block 210 is installed at the bottom of the counterweight block 201. The counterweight of the counterweight block 201 is adjusted. Branches of different sizes and growth stages require different degrees of tensile force. By adjusting The weight of the entire counterweight block 201 can ensure that the force applied to each branch is moderate, and it will neither fail to achieve the expected effect due to being too light, nor cause damage or breakage of the branch due to being too heavy. The interior of the counterweight block 201 is provided with an embedded rod 203 and a reinforcement bar 204. Through the coordinated use of the embedded rod 203 and the reinforcement bar 204, the overall strength of the counterweight block 201 can be improved to avoid cracking and damage.
