Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant protection technology, specifically a device for cleaning and repairing rotten holes in ancient trees. Background Technology

[0002] Ancient tree protection is an important task in the field of plant protection, as it plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and protecting species continuity.

[0003] Ancient tree protection is a multifaceted task. Ancient trees have long lifespans, and their trunks are susceptible to damage from birds and insects, leading to breakage, wounds, and ulcers. These exposed wood fragments are prone to rotting, forming cavities. The causes include mechanical damage, improper pruning, fungal infection, death of large or main branches, insect infestation, sunscald, typhoons, snow pressure, frost damage, and lightning strikes. If these wounds are not treated promptly, the exposed wood, soaked by rainwater and infected by pathogens, gradually rots, forming cavities. The rotten wood inside these cavities needs to be cleaned promptly. Failure to do so will result in hollow trunks, reducing their structural strength and shortening the lifespan of the ancient tree.

[0004] Currently, the cleaning of tree cavities in ancient trees is usually done manually using tools such as hoes and scrapers. While this manual cleaning method can remove the decay, it is also easy to scratch the intact wood, causing secondary damage to the ancient wood and failing to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0005] To address this, a device for cleaning and restoring decayed tree cavities in ancient trees is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for cleaning and restoring decayed tree cavities in ancient trees includes a support rod, a motor, and a brush head. The motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod, and the brush head includes bristles and a brush handle. The brush handle is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0008] Preferably, the support rod includes rod one and rod two, the motor is fixedly installed on the top of rod two, rod two is hollow inside, and rod one is slidably installed on rod two.

[0009] Preferably, the first rod has a flange on its side wall, the second rod has a groove on its side wall that mates with the flange, and two symmetrical protrusions are provided on the outer wall of the groove. The flange and the two protrusions are provided with positioning holes, and a plug rod can be detachably installed in the positioning holes.

[0010] Preferably, two arc-shaped handles are provided at intervals along the vertical direction on the outer wall of the flange.

[0011] Preferably, multiple binding rings are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two protruding ridges and the flange, and each binding ring has a thread hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The motor and brush head are set up to clean the tree cavity. The rotten wood inside the tree cavity is removed by the high-speed rotation of the brush bristles. Since the intact wood is relatively hard, the high-speed rotation of the brush bristles can remove the rotten wood without causing mechanical damage to the good wood.

[0014] 2. The support rod is divided into two rods, rod one and rod two, which can slide relative to each other. When the tree hole is at a high position, the height of the motor can be adjusted by sliding rod two to adapt to the height of the tree hole. The rot can be removed without the need for a ladder, and the operation is safer. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a device for cleaning and repairing decayed tree cavities in ancient trees, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0021] A device for cleaning and repairing decayed tree cavities in ancient trees includes a support rod 1, a motor 2, and a brush head 4. The motor 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod 1, and the brush head 4 includes bristles 401 and a brush handle 402.

[0022] The motor 2 is connected to the configured power supply via wires. The brush bristles 401 are fixedly connected to the brush rod 402. The brush rod 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 via a coupling. The length of the brush rod 402 can be selected and replaced according to the size of the ancient tree. After the motor 2 is powered on, a person holds the support rod 1 and inserts the brush rod 402 and brush bristles 401 into the tree hole. The rotten wood in the tree hole is dislodged by the high-speed rotation of the brush bristles 401. Since the intact wood is relatively hard, the high-speed rotation of the brush bristles 401 can dislodge the rotten wood without causing mechanical damage to the good wood.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the support rod 1 includes rod one 101 and rod two 102. The motor 2 is fixedly installed on the top of rod two 102. Rod two 102 is hollow inside. Rod one 101 is slidably installed on rod two 102. Rod two 102 and rod one 101 can slide relative to each other. When the tree hole to be cleaned is at a high position, rod two 102 can be slid upward to raise the height of motor 2, making it easier for manual cleaning of the tree hole at a high position without the need for a ladder, making the operation more convenient. Rod one 101 has a flange 7 on its side wall, and rod two 102 has a groove on its side wall that mates with the flange 7. Two symmetrical protrusions 8 are provided on the outer wall of the groove. Positioning holes are provided on the flange 7 and the two protrusions 8, and insertion rods 9 can be detachably installed in the positioning holes. After raising motor 2 to a suitable height, rod 2 102 needs to be fixed. At this time, insert rod 9 into the positioning hole to fix rod 2 102, so as to ensure the stability of rod 2 102.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, two arc-shaped handles 6 are arranged vertically on the outer wall of the flange 7. When the tree hole to be cleaned is in a high position, the motor 2 needs to be raised to a higher position so that the person can hold the two handles 6, which is convenient for the person to operate. The operation is stable and safe.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple binding rings 5 ​​are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two protruding ridges 8 and the flange 7. Each binding ring 5 has a wire hole 3. The power cord of the motor 2 can pass through the wire hole 3 and be connected to the power supply equipment. The wire is bound to the binding ring 5 so that it will not swing randomly during operation, making the operation more convenient and safer.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
