Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tree protection structure, specifically a tree protection structure to prevent livestock from grazing and damaging the tree, and belongs to the technical field of tree protection structures. Background Technology

[0002] Trees are among the most common plants in our daily lives. They play a role in absorbing carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, regulating air humidity, fixing soil to prevent soil erosion, and increasing greenery and beautifying the environment. However, planted trees are often eaten by livestock, which damages their outer surface and affects their growth. Therefore, it is often necessary to take protective measures to protect trees.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the tree anti-biting device disclosed in CN209073089U, a frame is included. A buckle is provided on the right side of the frame. A protective net is provided inside the frame, and a fixing device is provided on the protective net. The fixing device includes a fixing plate, a connecting rod on the right side of the fixing plate, a conical slider at the bottom of the connecting rod, and a spring at the top of the conical slider. The fixing plate has a groove that matches the connecting rod and the conical slider. As the tree grows, the arc-shaped fixing block gradually applies a force, expanding the protection formed by the frame, preventing the tree from being squeezed and affecting its growth. The arc-shaped protrusion on the frame increases the friction with the buckle, making it less likely to loosen when wrapped around the tree. As the tree grows, it will automatically expand the frame and protective netting without manual adjustment, which is convenient and saves time. However, the current technology uses a whole frame to wrap the tree. Although this method can wrap trees of different diameters, the length of the frame is fixed. If the tree diameter is too small, a long part of the frame will be extra, resulting in some of the frame protruding outwards. If the tree diameter is too large, it may not be able to completely wrap the tree, thus not making good use of the device. Secondly, since the connection position of the fixing device on the frame is adjustable, the specific installation position of the fixing device must be adjusted according to the diameter of the tree during operation, which makes the actual installation process more complicated.

[0029] 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. Example

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a tree protection structure for preventing livestock from grazing and damaging trees includes an outer support rod assembly and a connecting buckle assembly 5. Several outer support rod assemblies are provided, and adjacent outer support rod assemblies are connected by the connecting buckle assembly 5. Multiple outer support rod assemblies can be wrapped around the tree trunk to form a ring-shaped protective ring around the trunk. The connecting buckle assembly 5 secures the joints of two outer support rod assemblies, ensuring that multiple outer support rod assemblies form a stable ring-shaped isolation zone. This prevents livestock from grazing and damaging the tree trunk, thus protecting the tree. Furthermore, different numbers of outer support rod assemblies can be combined to provide isolation and protection for trees of different diameters, and the structure is easy to disassemble and reuse.

[0031] The external support rod assembly includes a horizontal protective support rod 1, a protective side rod 3, and a vertical support rod 4. The protective side rod 3 is respectively set on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal protective support rod 1. The vertical support rod 4 connects the horizontal protective support rod 1 and the protective side rod 3, and the connection parts of the vertical support rod 4 are located at both ends of the horizontal protective support rod 1. The vertical support rod 4 at the opposite ends of the two external support rod assemblies is snapped with a docking snap assembly 5 to form a stable mesh frame structure. When the external support rod assembly wraps around the outer perimeter of the tree trunk, the horizontal protective support rod 1 will undergo arc deformation, and the protective side rod 3 will also undergo arc deformation under the action of the vertical support rod 4. With the docking combination of the docking snap assembly 5, a ring-shaped isolation zone can be formed around the outer perimeter of the tree trunk.

[0032] The docking buckle assembly 5 includes a slot buckle 51 and a rod buckle 52. Both the slot buckle 51 and the rod buckle 52 have arc-shaped buckle grooves 53. One side of the slot buckle 51 has a slot 55, and one side of the rod buckle 52 is connected to a rod 54. The rod 54 is movably locked in the slot 55. The arc-shaped buckle grooves 53 of the slot buckle 51 and the rod buckle 52 can be fastened to the bodies of the two vertical support rods 4 respectively. This allows for the combined connection of the two vertical support rods 4, while also allowing the bodies of the vertical support rods 4 to rotate within the arc-shaped buckle grooves 53 to ensure the formation of a ring-shaped isolation band. Then, the rod 54 is locked in the slot 55, thus achieving the docking of the slot buckle 51 and the rod buckle 52, enabling the rapid assembly of the external support rod assembly. Example

[0033] Improvements based on Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both the horizontal protective support rod 1 and the protective edge rod 3 are elastic rods, and the protective edge rod 3 is arranged in parallel on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal protective support rod 1. This allows the vertical support rod 4 to connect the horizontal protective support rod 1 and the protective edge rod 3 to form a stable square-shaped mesh frame structure. Furthermore, both the horizontal protective support rod 1 and the protective edge rod 3 can be bent to different degrees, so that the outer support rod assembly can be bent to a suitable arc according to the diameter of the tree to be protected for assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, several vertical protective ribs 2 are connected between the horizontal protective strut 1 and the protective side strut 3. The vertical protective ribs 2 are distributed equidistantly within each outer strut assembly. The vertical protective ribs 2 can further enhance the structural strength of the outer strut assembly and allow the outer strut assembly to have smaller gaps, thus providing better protection and isolation.

[0036] Furthermore, a flexible push rod 6 is connected to the side of the transverse protective support rod 1 closest to the tree trunk. The connection point of the flexible push rod 6 is located in the middle of the body of the transverse protective support rod 1. The movable end of the flexible push rod 6 is connected to a top push plate 7, which is in close contact with the surface of the tree trunk. When multiple outer support rod assemblies are combined to form a ring-shaped wrap around the tree trunk, the top push plate 7 can be placed on the surface of the tree trunk and, in conjunction with the external support of the flexible push rod 6, the ring-shaped outer support rod assembly can be firmly supported on the outside of the tree trunk. The ring-shaped outer support rod assembly can be suspended in the air, meaning that multiple ring-shaped outer support rod assemblies can be distributed vertically according to protection needs to provide higher protection for the tree trunk. Moreover, the flexible push rod 6 has a certain range of extension and retraction. As the tree grows and the diameter of the tree trunk increases, the flexible push rod 6 can retract in length. That is, the protective structure will not be replaced due to tree growth, ensuring long-term use.

[0037] Furthermore, the push plate 7 is attached to one side of the tree trunk surface with a rubber pad 71. When the push plate 7 is tightly attached to the tree trunk surface, the rubber pad forms a flexible connection to the tree trunk surface, which can avoid damage to the tree trunk surface.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the slot 51 of the docking buckle assembly 5 has a movable cavity 57, which is connected to the slot 55. A positioning block 58 is movably held in the movable cavity 57. A positioning strip 513 is provided on the rod body of the insertion rod 54, and the positioning block 58 is placed in one of the slots of the positioning strip 513. When the insertion rod 54 is inserted into the slot 55, the positioning block 58 can contact the positioning strip 513, which can fix the insertion rod 54 so that the insertion rod 54 cannot be pulled out of the slot 55. The insertion range of the insertion rod 54 can be adjusted to securely fasten the two vertical support rods 4 together.

[0039] Furthermore, a compression spring 59 is also installed inside the movable cavity 57. The compression spring 59 rests against the lower part of the positioning block 58, so that the positioning block 58 can move elastically within the movable cavity 57 through the compression spring 59. When the insertion rod 54 is inserted inward, the positioning block 58 contacts the inclined surface of the positioning strip 513, so that the positioning block 58 can move downward, thus ensuring the smooth insertion of the insertion rod 54. After the insertion rod 54 is inserted into place, the positioning block 58 can be pushed upward under the action of the compression spring 59, so that the positioning block 58 contacts the vertical surface of the positioning strip 513, thus forming the positioning of the insertion rod 54.

[0040] Furthermore, a rotating rod 512 is rotatably connected inside the movable cavity 57. The rotating rod 512 is located between the two positioning blocks 58. A rotating wheel 510 is fixedly sleeved on the rod body of the rotating rod 512. A pull rope 511 is connected between the two positioning blocks 58, and the rope body of the pull rope 511 is wound around the rotating wheel 510. By rotating the rotating rod 512, the rotating wheel 510 can be rotated, which can further wind the pull rope 511 around the rotating wheel 510, forming a downward pull on the two positioning blocks 58, so that the positioning blocks 58 are separated from the insertion rod 54. This makes it easier to pull the insertion rod 54 out of the slot 55, so that the slot buckle 51 and the insertion rod buckle 52 can be disassembled, thus realizing the disassembly of the protective structure.

[0041] Furthermore, a disassembly knob 56 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slot buckle 51, and the disassembly knob 56 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating rod 512. The rotating rod 512 can be driven to rotate by the disassembly knob 56 on the outer side, which can further improve the disassembly efficiency.

[0042] Working principle: Select the appropriate number of external support rod assemblies according to the diameter of the tree to be protected. Secure the joints of two external support rod assemblies using the connecting buckle assembly 5. Attach the arc-shaped buckle grooves 53 of the slot buckle 51 and the insert rod buckle 52 to the shafts of the two vertical support rods 4. This allows for the connection of the two vertical support rods 4 while also enabling the shafts of the vertical support rods 4 to rotate within the arc-shaped buckle grooves 53, ensuring the formation of a ring-shaped isolation zone. Then, insert the insert rod 54 into the slot 55, thus connecting the slot buckle 51 and the insert rod buckle 52. This allows for rapid assembly of the external support rod assemblies. When multiple external support rod assemblies are combined to form a ring around the tree trunk, the push plate 7 can be placed on the surface of the tree trunk, and with the external support of the elastic push rod 6, the ring-shaped external support rod assembly can be firmly supported on the outside of the tree trunk. The ring-shaped external support rod assembly can also be suspended in the air. That is, multiple ring-shaped external support rod assemblies can be distributed vertically according to the protection requirements to provide high protection for the tree trunk. Furthermore, the elastic push rod 6 can have a certain range of extension and contraction. As the tree grows and the diameter of the trunk increases, the elastic push rod 6 can retract in length. That is, the protective structure will not be replaced due to the growth of the tree, ensuring long-term use.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
