Abstract

The utility model provides a detachable device for regulating and controlling bearing branches of prunus armeniaca, and belongs to the technical field of fruit tree cultivation. Comprising a regulation and control ring; a plurality of elastic protection pads are fixed on the inner wall of the regulation and control ring through second hook and loop fasteners; the primary and secondary surfaces of the second hook-and-loop fastener are respectively fixed on the inner wall of the regulating ring and the outer ring of the elastic protection pad; a plurality of hanging lugs are arranged on the periphery of the regulation and control ring and used for being connected with the regulation and control belt. According to the utility model, more flower buds can be obtained by regulating and controlling the branch angle when young apricot and plum trees are 1-3 years old, and the branches of trees more than 4 years old are subjected to fixed angle regulation and control, so that the fruiting branches are prevented from being broken, and higher yield and economic benefits are obtained. The regulator can be detached and repeatedly used, the defect that a rope can only be used for one year is effectively overcome, and the cost can be saved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention provides a detachable device for adjusting the fruiting branches of apricot and plum trees, belonging to the field of fruit tree cultivation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Hybrid apricots are a new type of fruit created by crossing apricots and plums. They are widely cultivated in Xinjiang. Due to the special characteristics of apricot and plum branches, during cultivation, there are often problems such as insufficient branch pulling angle, resulting in fewer flower buds and lower yields, as well as excessive pressure on the branches during the peak fruiting period, leading to the breakage of fruiting branches. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention relates to apricot and plum trees aged 1-3 years where adjusting the branch angle is necessary to encourage more flower buds, and to trees older than 4 years where a fixed angle adjustment is used to prevent fruiting branches from breaking, thereby achieving higher yields and economic benefits. This regulator is detachable and reusable, effectively replacing the drawback of ropes that can only be used for one year, thus saving costs.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A device for detachably controlling the fruiting branches of apricot and plum trees includes a control ring, which is composed of two half-rings. One end of the two half-rings is hinged by a fixing connector, which includes a bolt and a nut. The two half-rings are detachable and rotatable, and form a ring when closed. The other end of the two half-rings is provided with a hook and loop for closing the control ring.

[0006] The hook and loop fastener includes a hook and loop hole at one half-ring end and a first hook and loop tape at the other half-ring end. The front and back sides of the first hook and loop tape are male and female sides, respectively. The first hook and loop tape passes through the hook and loop hole and is pulled back in the opposite direction, and is then bonded together by the male and female sides, so that the control ring is fixed on the main trunk of the apricot tree.

[0007] The inner wall of the control ring is fixed with multiple elastic protective pads by a second hook and loop fastener; the male and female sides of the second hook and loop fastener are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the control ring and the outer ring of the elastic protective pads.

[0008] The control ring is provided with multiple lugs on its outer periphery for connecting the control band;

[0009] Both ends of the control strip are equipped with a third hook and loop fastener, which is used to fix the hanging ear and the branch part that needs to be controlled, respectively.

[0010] The technical advantages of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. During the sapling stage, by using a control loop, a suitable angle can be obtained for the apricot and plum trees to enter the peak fruiting period as early as possible, thereby obtaining more flower buds;

[0012] 2. During the peak production period, the branches of apricot and plum trees are prone to breakage under the weight of the fruit. Connecting and regulating straps can effectively fix the angle of the branches, thereby avoiding breakage and reduced yield.

[0013] 3. The top of the control ring is fixed to the main stem, and multiple control strips extend from the top, which can be fixed to the branches that need to be controlled.

[0014] 4. The adjusting ring is made of a lightweight yet relatively rigid material, while the inner protective pad is made of a material with moderate softness and hardness. The thickness of the protective pad can be set to 3cm or 5cm, the purpose of which is to select the appropriate protective pad according to the trunk diameter to prevent the adjusting ring from loosening when fixed to the trunk;

[0015] 5. The adjustment tape can be a single piece of hook and loop fastener;

[0016] 6. The control ring can be fixed according to the branches that need to be controlled. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a top view of the structure of this utility model;

[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of this utility model;

[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the control loop. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The specific technical solution of this utility model is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a device for detachably controlling the fruiting branches of apricot and plum includes a control ring 1, which is composed of two half-rings; one end of the two half-rings is hinged by a fixing connector 5, which includes a bolt and a nut; the two half-rings are detachable and rotatable, and form a ring shape when closed; the other end of the two half-rings is provided with a hook and loop fastener 3 for closing the control ring 1.

[0022] The hook and loop fastener 3 includes a hook and loop hole 3-1 at one half-ring end and a first hook and loop tape 3-2 at the other half-ring end. The front and back sides of the first hook and loop tape 3-2 are male and female sides, respectively. The first hook and loop tape 3-2 passes through the hook and loop hole 3-1 and is pulled back in the opposite direction, and is bonded together by the male and female sides, so as to fix the control ring 1 on the main trunk of the apricot and plum tree.

[0023] The inner wall of the control ring 1 is fixed with multiple elastic protective pads 2 by the second hook and loop fastener 7; the male and female sides of the second hook and loop fastener 7 are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the control ring 1 and the outer ring of the elastic protective pads 2.

[0024] The control ring 1 is provided with multiple lugs 4 on its periphery for connecting the control band 6;

[0025] Both ends of the control strip 6 are provided with third hook and loop straps 8, which are used to fix the hanging ear 4 and the branch part that needs to be controlled, respectively. The length can be adjusted at will, and it can be rolled up when not in use for easy storage.
