Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscaping technology, and in particular to a telescopic tree support frame structure for landscaping. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of landscaping and roadside greening projects, landscape combinations of trees, shrubs, and grasses, or a combination of trees, shrubs, and grasses are typically chosen to showcase the overall landscape effect. During the design phase, the optimized arrangement of tall trees (i.e., trees) is usually considered a key element. Therefore, the survival rate of planted trees is particularly important in landscaping projects. Generally, to enhance the trees' resistance to lodging and ensure their survival rate, their branches and trunks are immediately supported and reinforced after planting.
[0003] In common tree planting techniques, the support methods used include triangular bracing and four-corner bracing. The materials used for the support frame include wood (fir) or hollow metal rods. The specific form and size vary slightly depending on the height and diameter at breast height of the tree.
[0004] However, with the increasing standards of landscaping projects, higher requirements are placed on on-site maintenance and management. To ensure the actual survival rate, construction machinery is needed for replanting shrubs and ground cover. Common support structures, such as triangular and four-corner supports, radiate outwards from the trees during maintenance processes like weeding, pot trimming, and replanting, occupying significant space. This restricts the working space for machinery during ground cover planting and other maintenance work, failing to meet daily construction and maintenance needs. If the supports are not removed, machinery is prone to collisions with them upon entry, and damage to the supports can cause trees to fall, affecting the survival rate. Removing the existing supports to accommodate machinery requires reinstalling them after maintenance, consuming considerable additional manpower and resources, extending the construction period, and increasing costs. Furthermore, during the intervals between support removals, the planted trees lose their original support, posing a risk of falling over. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a telescopic tree support frame structure for landscaping. It can quickly retract to provide space for personnel and machinery to enter the site for construction without completely dismantling the original structure during the maintenance period, and can also provide support during the maintenance period.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A telescopic tree support frame structure for landscaping includes two sets of upper and lower clamp structures, a first support structure and a second support structure connected to the two clamp structures respectively. The first support structure includes a thin rod, a thick rod sleeved outside the thin rod, and an externally screwed fastening head for connecting the thick rod and the thin rod. The upper end of the thin rod is connected to the clamp structure located at the upper part. The thin rod can slide telescopically in the thick rod and is fastened by the externally screwed fastening head. The second support structure includes a short rod connected to the clamp structure located at the lower part.
[0008] According to the above technical solution, preferably, the pipe clamp structure includes multiple arc-shaped pipe clamp pieces, and each pipe clamp piece can form a cylindrical structure.
[0009] According to the above technical solution, preferably, the upper end of the thin rod is fixedly connected to two fixing plates A, the fixing plates A being hinged to the outside of the pipe clamp plate, and the upper end of the short rod is fixedly connected to two fixing plates B, the fixing plates B being hinged to the outside of the pipe clamp plate.
[0010] According to the above technical solution, preferably, two screw holes are provided longitudinally at the connection of adjacent pipe clamps, and each adjacent pipe clamp is fixedly connected at the upper screw hole, and the fixing piece A or fixing piece B is hinged to the pipe clamp at the lower screw hole.
[0011] According to the above technical solution, preferably, a cross bracing structure is further provided between the first support structures, wherein the cross bracing structure includes a transverse support piece that is detachably connected between adjacent first support structures, one end of the transverse support piece is rotatably connected to the outside of the thick rod, and the other end is hung on the outside of another thick rod.
[0012] According to the above technical solution, preferably, the transverse support plate is provided with a support plate opening and a rotating hole on both sides, the support plate opening is an elliptical groove, and the upper outer side of the thick rod is fixedly connected with a fixing screw A and a fixing screw B, the support plate opening is hung at the fixing screw A, and the rotating hole is rotatably connected to the fixing screw B.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This utility model adopts a telescopic support rod form. During the later maintenance process, manual or mechanical cultivation and weeding can be carried out. The support rod can be shortened and retracted inward into the tree pot at the bottom of the tree, increasing the maintenance and construction space between trees. This avoids the need to repeatedly dismantle and install the support frame structure to make room for construction work, improves the construction efficiency of cultivation, weeding, replanting, soil pot trimming and seedling watering and maintenance in landscaping projects, increases the survival rate of seedlings, and improves the convenience of landscaping maintenance and construction.
[0015] In addition, the support frame structure disclosed in this utility model can avoid repeated dismantling and installation of the support frame when carrying out maintenance work, whitewashing, and frost protection measures such as wrapping with straw ropes on tree pots, thus improving the efficiency of maintenance work. At the same time, it can provide temporary support when the support rod is temporarily retracted, preventing the planted tree from completely losing external support and falling over during the maintenance process.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0030] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] Example 1: As shown in the figure, this utility model includes two sets of pipe clamp structures, an upper and a lower set, and a first support structure and a second support structure connected to the two pipe clamp structures respectively. The first and second support structures are circumferentially connected to the pipe clamp structures. By setting two sets of support rod structures on newly planted trees, with the upper part being the first support structure and the lower part being the second support structure, temporary support is provided for the planted trees. The first support structure can be retracted into the soil basin during maintenance work, providing space for manual and mechanical maintenance operations. The second support structure can provide temporary support when the first support structure is retracted.
[0032] The clamp structure includes multiple arc-shaped clamp pieces 50, each of which can form a cylindrical structure. This arrangement is intended to clamp the tree trunk 1, allowing the supporting force of the supporting structure to be transferred to the tree trunk 1. Two screw holes are longitudinally arranged at the connection points of adjacent clamp pieces 50: an upper screw hole C51 and a lower screw hole D52. The upper screw hole C51 is used to fasten the clamp structure to the tree trunk 1 using screws.
[0033] The first support structure includes a thin rod 12, a thick rod 15 sleeved outside the thin rod 12, and an externally screwed fastening head 13 for connecting the thick rod 15 and the thin rod 12. The upper end of the thin rod 12 is connected to a clamp structure located at the top. The thin rod 12 can slide telescopically within the thick rod 15 and is fastened by the externally screwed fastening head 13. Specifically, the thick rod 15 is made of hollow metal, and the thin rod 12 is also made of hollow metal with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the thick rod 15. The thin rod 12 and the thick rod 15 are connected by the externally screwed fastening head 13, and the entire thin rod 12 is inserted into the thick rod 15 through the externally screwed fastening head 13. The externally screwed fastening head 13 adopts a common structure in the prior art, using an external screw to adjust the telescopic length between the rods. This is common in adjustable-length devices such as photographic equipment, brackets, antennas, and telescopes, and therefore will not be elaborated upon in this application. In this example, the external screw fastening head 13 is made of plastic spiral fitting. The thin rod 12 is inserted into the thick rod 15 through the external screw fastening head 13. The upper end of the external screw fastening head 13 has an internal thread that fits the thin rod 12, while the lower part of the external screw fastening head 13 has an external thread that is fixed to the upper end of the thick rod 15. By rotating the upper end of the external screw fastening head 13, the tightness between the thin rod 12 and the thick rod 15 can be adjusted. When rotated counterclockwise, the connection between the two rods is loosened, and the thin rod 12 can move freely up and down. The purpose of this design is to allow the first support structure to freely extend and retract to adjust its length, which is beneficial for the first support structure to retract into the soil pot under the tree.
[0034] Two fixing plates A11 are welded to the top of the thin rod 12. Each fixing plate A11 has a screw hole A10. The screw hole A10 is a circular through hole, which can be fixed with the screw hole D52 on the pipe clamp plate 50 by screws. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate the adjustment of the angle between the thin rod 12 and the tree trunk 1, so as to provide a good support. At the same time, it also provides a pivot for the first support structure to retract into the soil pot under the tree.
[0035] The second support structure includes a short rod 21 connected to the lower hoop structure. The top of the short rod 21 is connected to a fixing plate B22 by welding. Each fixing plate B22 is provided with a screw hole B23. The screw hole B23 is a circular through hole, which can be fixed with the screw hole D52 provided on the hoop plate 50 by screws. The purpose of this arrangement is to provide temporary support for the tree when the first support structure shrinks.
[0036] In addition, a transverse bracing structure is provided between the first support structures. This transverse bracing structure includes a detachable transverse support plate 30 connected between adjacent first support structures. The transverse support plate 30 is a rigid, high-strength metal sheet that serves as reinforcement between the two thick rods 15, enhancing the stability of tall trees in windy conditions. Specifically, fixing screws A14 and B16 are welded onto the thick rods 15. One side of the transverse support plate 30 has a support plate opening 31, which is an elliptical groove. This design allows the support plate opening 31 to hang on the fixing screw A14 when the first support structure is in operation, fixing the two adjacent thick rods 15 in a fixed position and preventing relative lateral displacement, thus improving the overall stability of the adjacent thick rods 15. The other side of the transverse support plate 30 has a rotating hole 32, which is a circular through hole. This design allows the fixing screw B16 to rotate freely after passing through the rotating hole 32, enabling the transverse support plate 30 to be lowered during the installation and retraction of the first support structure.
[0037] Example 2: This utility model provides a support structure for newly planted trees, consisting of two sets of support structures that work together to provide support for the trees. Without dismantling the structures, one set of support structures can be retracted during the maintenance period to provide more space for manual and mechanical operations. The other set of support structures provides temporary support when the first set retracts, and then returns to its original support configuration after the maintenance period ends.
[0038] In landscaping projects, after trees are planted, the first and second support structures need to be installed immediately to provide support for the trees and improve their survival rate. The specific steps are as follows:
[0039] S1-1: Install the first support structure:
[0040] Furthermore, after the trees are newly planted, the first support structure is installed.
[0041] Furthermore, install the pipe clamp structure, wrap the four pipe clamp pieces 50 around the tree trunk 1 at a distance of 1.2-1.6m from the ground, and use screws to fasten the four pipe clamp pieces 50 to the tree trunk 1 through the screw holes C51.
[0042] Furthermore, screw hole A10 is connected to screw hole D52 on the aforementioned installed clamp plate 50 using screws.
[0043] Furthermore, loosen the outer screw fastening head 13 and adjust it so that the thin rod 12 and the thick rod 15 form an appropriate length, with the bottom of the thick rod 15 supported on the ground.
[0044] Furthermore, tighten the outer screw fastener 13 in sequence to fix the lengths of the thin rod 12 and the thick rod 15.
[0045] Furthermore, all four primary support structures were installed following the steps outlined above.
[0046] Furthermore, each transverse support piece 30 is rotated counterclockwise, and the support piece opening 31 is inserted from top to bottom into the fixing screw A14 on the adjacent thick rod 15 on the left.
[0047] S1-2: Install the second support structure:
[0048] Furthermore, a second support structure is installed.
[0049] Furthermore, install the pipe clamp structure, wrap the four pipe clamp pieces 50 around the tree trunk 1 at a distance of 0.5-1.0m from the ground, and use screws to fasten the four pipe clamp pieces 50 to the tree trunk 1 through the screw holes C51.
[0050] Furthermore, screw hole B23 is connected to screw hole D52 on the aforementioned installed clamp plate 50 using screws.
[0051] Furthermore, adjust the angle of the short rod 21 so that the bottom of the short rod 21 contacts the ground, thus providing support.
[0052] In the later stages of maintenance, manual or mechanical weeding and cultivation are carried out to increase the space for maintenance work between trees. The first support rod structure is then confined within the soil basin to provide space for manual and mechanical operations. The specific steps are as follows:
[0053] S2-1: Contract the first support structure:
[0054] Furthermore, the transverse support plate 30 is lifted up to one end near the support plate opening 31, so that the support plate opening 31 is removed from the fixing screw A14.
[0055] Furthermore, loosening the external screw fastening head 13 on the first support rod causes the thin rod 12 to retract partially into the thick rod 15, thus shortening the exposed length of the thin rod 12.
[0056] S2-2: Lowering the first support structure:
[0057] Furthermore, the thicker pole 15 is tapered inward, closer to the main trunk of the tree, freeing up space outside the original first support structure. This increases the space between trees, making it easier for personnel and machinery to enter the site for maintenance and construction, thereby improving the maintenance quality of the landscaping project.
[0058] At this time, the second support structure provides temporary support for the tree. In addition to carrying out manual and mechanical maintenance around the tree, it can also implement cold protection measures such as whitewashing the tree body, wrapping the trunk with straw rope or non-woven fabric.
[0059] S2-3: After maintenance, restore the original support structure.
[0060] Furthermore, the bottom of the four first support structures is moved outwards, so that the thick rod 15 returns to its original support angle.
[0061] Furthermore, tighten the outer screw fastener 13 in sequence to fix the lengths of the thin rod 12 and the thick rod 15.
[0062] Furthermore, each transverse support piece 30 is rotated counterclockwise, and the support piece opening 31 is inserted from top to bottom into the fixing screw A14 on the adjacent thick rod 15 on the left.
[0063] At this point, the first and second support structures provide support for the trees.
[0064] In summary, this utility model provides a telescopic tree support structure for landscaping that can be used to support newly planted trees and provides more space for manual and mechanical operations during the maintenance period by retracting. This utility model uses telescopic support rods. During later maintenance processes, manual or mechanical cultivation and weeding can be performed, and the support rods can be shortened and retracted inwards into the tree pot at the base of the tree, increasing the maintenance space between trees. This avoids the need for repeated dismantling and reinstallation of the support structure to create work space, improving the efficiency of landscaping projects such as cultivation, weeding, replanting, pot trimming, and seedling watering, increasing seedling survival rates, and enhancing the convenience of landscaping maintenance. Furthermore, trees supported by the support structure disclosed in this utility model can avoid repeated dismantling and reinstallation of the support structure when performing maintenance work in the tree pot, such as whitewashing and wrapping with straw rope for frost protection, thus improving maintenance efficiency. It can also provide temporary support when the support rod is temporarily retracted, preventing planted trees from falling over due to complete loss of external support during maintenance.
[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
