Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree pruning technology, specifically a portable and adjustable tree pruning shears. Background Technology
[0002] Trees grow by extending many branches and leaves. When branches and leaves grow excessively, they absorb nutrients from the tree itself. At the same time, the branches and leaves extending in all directions can make the tree look unbalanced and unsightly. Therefore, tree shears are used to prune the excess branches and leaves. In order to increase the convenience of the pruning process, the shears are mounted on the arm of an excavator, and the excavator drives the tree shears to prune the branches and leaves.
[0003] The excavator boom has a fixed length, which limits the height at which it can move the tree shears. This makes it difficult to precisely move the shears to the desired pruning positions on trees of different heights. Furthermore, the growth directions of tree branches vary, requiring different pruning angles. Since the connection between the tree shears and the excavator boom cannot be changed, the pruning angle is limited. When using shears with the same pruning angle to prune branches in different growth directions, uneven cuts or even tree tearing can occur. To address these shortcomings, we propose a portable, adjustable tree shear to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] This application provides a portable and adjustable tree shears, which solves the problem that tree shears cannot be accurately moved to the desired pruning position on trees of different heights, and that the growth direction of tree branches and leaves also varies. The connection position between the tree shears and the excavator arm cannot be changed, resulting in a single pruning angle. When tree shears with the same pruning angle are used to prune tree branches and leaves with different growth directions, it will cause uneven cuts and even tree tearing. This application enables the installation position of the tree shears relative to the excavator arm to be adjusted in both straight and circumferential directions.
[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0029] This utility model discloses a portable and adjustable tree shears.
[0030] According to the appendix Figure 1-8 As shown, the pruning shears include a fixed claw 1, a movable claw 2 rotatably connected to the fixed claw 1, and a blade 3 disposed on the inner wall of the fixed claw 1. A main shaft 11 for supporting the movable claw 2 is rotatably mounted at one end of the fixed claw 1. A first hydraulic cylinder 22 for driving the movable claw 2 to change its gripping position is disposed inside the fixed claw 1. A connecting cavity 12 is opened inside one end of the fixed claw 1, and one end of the first hydraulic cylinder 22 is disposed inside the connecting cavity 12. A connecting shaft 21 hinged to one end of the movable claw 2 is provided at one end of the first hydraulic cylinder 22. The pruning shears mainly consist of a fixed claw 1, a movable claw 2, a blade 3, and a first hydraulic cylinder 22. Composed of components such as cylinder 22, the overall structure is compact and easy to carry. In use, the first hydraulic cylinder 22 controls the movable claw 2 to open or close relative to the fixed claw 1, thereby clamping trees, dead branches, and diseased branches by the fixed claw 1 and movable claw 2 at different degrees of opening. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 22 continues to drive the movable claw 2 to rotate, so that the movable claw 2 and the fixed claw 1 gradually tighten. During this process, trees, dead branches, and diseased branches are pruned under the action of the blade 3, so as to adjust the shape and structure of the tree, promote the healthy growth of the plant, and beautify the tree shape.
[0031] See attached document Figure 3One end of the fixed claw 1 is provided with a support arm 4. The outer wall of the support arm 4 is fixedly provided with a support seat 41. The inner wall of the support seat 41 is rotatably provided with a first shaft 42 connected to the excavator arm. The inner wall of the support seat 41 is rotatably provided with a second shaft 43 connected to the I-beam frame. That is, by controlling the excavator, the support arm 4 is driven to move, so that the tree shears provided at one end of the support arm 4 can be moved to different heights of the tree, thereby pruning dead branches and diseased branches at different heights of the tree.
[0032] See attached document Figure 2-4 An adjustment mechanism 5 is provided between the fixed claw 1 and the support arm 4. The adjustment mechanism 5 expands the range of movement of the tree shears on the basis of the original support arm 4, and can control the tree shears to rotate 360 degrees. This allows the tree shears to be adjusted to the appropriate direction for pruning branches and leaves with different growth directions, and also increases the pruning range of the tree shears. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes an extension arm 51, which is telescopically connected to the support arm 4. One end of the support arm 4 can be connected to a drive component that controls the extension and retraction of the extension arm 51. The drive component is connected to the excavator. The drive component is not specifically shown in the figure. The end of the extension arm 51 away from the support arm 4 is hinged to a connecting seat 52. That is, by controlling the extension arm 51 to slide along the support arm 4, the total length between the combined extension arm 51 and the support arm 4 can be adjusted. When facing tall trees, the tree shears installed at one end of the combined extension arm 51 and the support arm 4 can also meet the pruning needs of branches and leaves at the top of the tree.
[0033] See attached document Figure 4 and attached Figure 8The rotating component 53 is located between the connecting seat 52 and the fixed claw 1. Through the rotating component 53, the tree shears can rotate 360 degrees around the connecting seat 52. When the tree shears rotate in a circle, they can cover a larger pruning area. Simple straight-line pruning can only prune branches in one direction or on one plane. Circular rotation allows the blades of the tree shears to contact the branches at different angles, processing branches in multiple directions at once. Furthermore, tree branches grow in various directions—upward, horizontal, and downward bending. The rotating tree shears can flexibly prune according to these different growth directions. Regardless of the branch's direction of growth, by adjusting the circular motion trajectory of the tree shears, a suitable angle can be found to prune the branch. To facilitate smoother pruning and avoid difficulties caused by unfavorable branch growth direction, the rotary assembly 53 includes a rotary seat 531 fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting seat 52, a rotary disk 532 rotatably mounted inside the rotary seat 531, a hydraulic motor 533 mounted on the outer wall of the rotary seat 531 for driving the rotary disk 532 to rotate circumferentially, and an installation member 534 mounted on one side of the rotary disk 532 and fixedly connected to the fixing claw 1. A screw 535 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the installation member 534, locking the installation member 534 and the fixing claw 1 through the screw 535. By turning on the hydraulic motor 533, the rotary disk 532 is driven to rotate circumferentially along the rotary seat 531, thereby driving the tree shears connected to one side of the rotary disk 532 to rotate circumferentially to meet different tree pruning needs.
[0034] See attached document Figure 2 and attached Figure 8 A linkage mechanism 6 is provided between the extension arm 51 and the connecting seat 52. The linkage mechanism 6 is used to adjust the gripping position of the fixed claw 1 and the movable claw 2 in the vertical direction after assembly. The linkage mechanism 6 includes a connecting frame 61 hinged between the extension arm 51 and the connecting seat 52, and a second hydraulic cylinder 62 hinged between the connecting frame 61 and the connecting seat 52. (See attached figure) Figure 8 The connecting frame 61 consists of two sets of hinged frames. One set of frames is hinged to one end of the extension arm 51, and the other set of frames is hinged to the connecting seat 52. The hinged positions of the two sets of frames are also hinged to one end of the second hydraulic cylinder 62. Specifically, by activating the second hydraulic cylinder 62, the second hydraulic cylinder 62 extends or retracts, thereby driving the connecting seat 52, which is controlled by the second hydraulic cylinder 62, to rotate downward or upward around one end of the extension arm 51 as the axis, so as to drive the tree shears installed on one side of the connecting seat 52 to adjust their position in the vertical direction.
[0035] See attached document Figure 3A stabilizing component 7 is provided at the end of the support arm 4 away from the fixed claw 1. The stabilizing component 7 includes a stabilizing seat 71 fixedly connected to one end of the support arm 4 and a rubber block 72 disposed on the top surface of the stabilizing seat 71. The top surface of the rubber block 72 abuts against the lower side of the excavator arm. When the extension arm 51 and the support arm 4 move downward after the excavator arm control assembly, the rubber block 72 abutting against the lower side of the excavator arm can limit its movement.
