[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a simplified branch-pulling device for fruit trees, such as... Figure 1-5As shown, the simplified branch-pulling device for fruit trees includes: a C-shaped buckle 1 for fixing to the fruit tree; an adjusting belt 2, which is fixedly installed on the C-shaped buckle 1; a storage cover 3, which is fixedly installed on the C-shaped buckle 1; a winding shaft 4, which is rotatably installed inside the storage cover 3; an operating block 5, which is fixedly installed at one end of the winding shaft 4 extending outside the storage cover 3, and the operating block 5 slides in contact with the outer wall of the storage cover 3; a traction rope 6, one end of which is wound around the winding shaft 4, and the other end of which extends outside the storage cover 3 through an opening 7 at the top of the storage cover 3; a connecting belt 8, which is fixedly installed at one end of the traction rope 6 extending outside the storage cover 3 and is fixed to the fruit tree branch; and a self-locking mechanism, which limits the winding shaft 4 by fixing the operating block 5, and is provided on the storage cover 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, the C-type buckle 1 is used to fix the fruit tree, ensuring that the entire branch-pulling device can be stably attached to the fruit tree, providing a solid foundation for subsequent branch-pulling operations. The adjustment strap 2 is used to further adjust and fix the positional relationship between the C-type buckle and the fruit tree to adapt to fruit trees of different sizes or branches in different positions. The storage cover 3 is used to house and protect the internal winding shaft 4 and related mechanisms, while providing a structured environment for operation. The winding shaft 4 is used to wind and release the traction rope 6. By rotating the winding shaft, the length of the traction rope can be easily adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the branch-pulling angle. The operating block 5 allows the user to manually operate the rotation of the winding shaft 4. The operating block 5 slides in contact with the outer wall of the storage cover 3 to ensure the smoothness and stability of the operation. The traction rope 6 is used to connect and pull the fruit tree branches. The strength and flexibility of the traction rope are crucial for the branch-pulling operation. The connecting strap 8 acts as a connecting bridge between the traction rope and the branch, ensuring the effective transmission of the branch-pulling force. The self-locking mechanism limits the winding shaft 4 via the fixed operating block 5, preventing accidental rotation of the winding shaft during branch pulling, which could lead to loosening or angle changes in the branches. This self-locking mechanism improves the stability and reliability of the branch pulling operation. Compared to traditional branch pulling methods, this device is simpler to operate, significantly improving pulling efficiency and enabling all branches to be pulled to the required angle in a timely manner, which is beneficial for promoting flowering and shaping management of fruit trees. The design of the self-locking mechanism ensures stability and safety during the branch pulling process, avoiding problems such as loosening or angle changes in branches due to external forces.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the self-locking mechanism includes a fixed base 9, a limiting ring 10, a slot 11, a locking block 12, a connecting rod 13, and a reset mechanism. The fixed base 9 is fixedly installed on the storage cover 3 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the operating block 5. The limiting ring 10 is fixedly installed on the fixed base 9 and is rotatably connected to the operating block 5. The slot 11 is evenly and annularly formed on the outer wall of the fixed base 9. The locking block 12 is slidably installed on the operating block 5 and is slidably embedded in the slot 11. The connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed on the locking block 12 and is disposed outside the operating block 5. The reset mechanism is disposed on the operating block 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixed base 9 serves as the basic component of the self-locking mechanism, providing a stable mounting platform for other components and allowing the operating block to rotate within a certain range. The limiting ring 10 restricts the rotation range of the operating block, ensuring that it does not detach from the fixed base during rotation, thereby maintaining the stability of the entire self-locking mechanism. The slot 11 serves as the receiving and locking position for the locking block 12. Through the cooperation between the locking block and the slot, the limiting function of the operating block and the winding shaft is realized, preventing accidental rotation. The connecting rod 13 serves as the medium for user operation, allowing the user to manually push the connecting rod to control the sliding of the locking block, thereby realizing the unlocking and locking operations of the self-locking mechanism. The reset mechanism is used to automatically reset the locking block to its initial position after unlocking, preparing for the next locking operation. The reset mechanism improves the ease of use and reliability of the self-locking mechanism. The design of the self-locking mechanism enables the simplified branch pulling device for fruit trees to maintain stability and safety during the branch pulling process.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the reset mechanism includes a slide groove 14, a slider 15, a limiting rod 16, and a spring 17. The slide groove 14 is fixedly formed in the operating block 5. The slider 15 is fixedly installed on the locking block 12 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 14. The limiting rod 16 is fixedly installed in the slide groove 14 and slides through the slider 15. The spring 17 is sleeved on the limiting rod 16 and is fixedly installed between the inner wall of the slide groove 14 and the slider 15.

[0027] In this embodiment, the design of the groove 14 ensures the smooth sliding of the slider along a specific path, providing a stable structural foundation for the reset mechanism. The slider 15, as the connecting component between the locking block and the operating block, slides within the groove, enabling smooth movement of the locking block. Simultaneously, the slider also serves as a support point for the spring, transmitting its elastic force. The design of the limiting rod 16 restricts the sliding range of the slider, preventing excessive movement or derailment within the groove, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the reset mechanism. The spring 17, as the core component of the reset mechanism, pushes the slider and locking block back to their initial position through its elastic force. When the locking block is unlocked and moved, the spring is compressed; when the unlocking force disappears, the spring releases its elastic force, pushing the slider and locking block back to their initial position. The design of the reset mechanism allows the self-locking mechanism to automatically reset after unlocking, preparing for the next locking operation. The elastic force of the spring ensures that the locking block can quickly and accurately return to its initial position, improving the reliability and ease of use of the self-locking mechanism. Working in conjunction with other components of the self-locking mechanism, it enables efficient and stable branch pulling operations on fruit tree branches, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of fruit tree management.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an adjusting rope 18 is fixedly installed on the traction rope 6, and a binding strap 19 for traction of the front end of the fruit tree branch is fixedly installed on the adjusting rope 18.

[0029] In this embodiment, the adjusting rope 18 serves as a bridge connecting the traction rope and the binding strap. The design of the adjusting rope allows users to adjust the relative position between the binding strap and the traction rope according to actual needs, thus more flexibly adapting to the length and shape of different branches. The binding strap 19 is used to pull the front end of the fruit tree branch. The binding strap is typically made of a soft yet strong material, capable of tightly wrapping the branch and ensuring effective transmission of pulling force. Simultaneously, the binding strap design facilitates quick and easy attachment of the device to the branch. By adjusting the length and position of the adjusting rope, users can more precisely control the contact point between the binding strap and the branch, thereby achieving finer adjustments to the branch pulling angle and force. The addition of the adjusting rope and binding strap enables the device to maintain efficient and stable branch pulling operations while also possessing greater adaptability and flexibility, better meeting the branch pulling needs of different fruit trees and branches.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a tightening roller 20 for adjusting the length of the adjusting rope 18 is sleeved on the adjusting rope 18, and a groove 21 is provided on the tightening roller 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, the tightening roller 20 is designed to allow users to tighten or loosen the adjusting rope by rotating the roller, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the relative position between the binding strap and the traction rope. This adjustment method is more convenient and faster than traditional knotting or cutting, and it does not damage the adjusting rope. The groove 21 is used to embed the adjusting rope 18, ensuring its connection with the tightening roller 20, preventing slippage, and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The addition of the tightening roller and the groove makes the device more adaptable and flexible while maintaining efficient and stable branch pulling operations, better meeting the branch pulling needs of different fruit trees and different branches.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a strap 22 is fixedly installed on the tightening roller 20, and a female buckle of a snap fastener 23 is fixedly installed at one end of the strap 22, and the male buckle of the snap fastener 23 is fixedly installed on the tightening roller 20.

[0033] In this embodiment, the binding strap 22 is used to secure the tightening roller 20 and its adjusting rope 18 together. The design of the binding strap increases the portability and practicality of the device. The snap fastener 23 includes a female and a male buckle, which are respectively fixedly installed on one end of the binding strap 22 and the tightening roller 20. The snap fastener design allows users to quickly and easily fix the binding strap to the tightening roller, while also facilitating disassembly and reuse. Through the fixation of the snap fastener, the binding strap can tightly wrap around the tightening roller and the adjusting rope, preventing them from falling off or loosening during the branch pulling process. The design of the binding strap and the snap fastener further improves the portability and practicality of the simplified branch pulling device for fruit trees. Users can adjust the length of the adjusting rope 18 by using the binding strap, further enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner sides of the C-type buckle 1, the connecting strap 8, and the binding strap 19 are all fixedly installed with soft pads that can deform according to the branches of the fruit tree.

[0035] In this embodiment, the design of the soft pad increases the contact area between the C-shaped buckle, the connecting strap 8, the binding strap 19, and the fruit tree branch. The soft pad tightly wraps around the branch, distributing pressure and ensuring that the binding strap does not cause marks or damage to the branch during branch pulling, while improving the stability and comfort of the connection. The soft pad is made of a material that can deform according to the shape of the fruit tree branch, such as rubber or sponge. This material can closely conform to the shape of the branch, providing better protection. The soft pad material has good abrasion resistance, maintaining its shape and performance during long-term use, extending the service life of the device. The deformability of the soft pad allows the device to better adapt to branches of different shapes and sizes, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device.

[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this device, employing components such as C-shaped buckles, a winding shaft, a traction rope, and connecting straps, enables rapid branch pulling of fruit trees through simple operation, significantly improving pulling efficiency. It can quickly pull all branches to the desired angle, which is beneficial for promoting flowering and shaping management of fruit trees. The self-locking mechanism ensures stability and safety during the pulling process. A fixed operating block limits the winding shaft, preventing accidental rotation that could loosen branches or change angles. The addition of adjusting ropes and tightening rollers allows the device to more flexibly adapt to different branch lengths and shapes. Users can adjust the relative position between the binding straps and the traction rope according to actual needs, achieving more precise adjustment of the branch pulling angle and force. The inner sides of the C-shaped buckles, connecting straps, and binding straps are all fixedly fitted with soft pads that conform to the deformation of the fruit tree branches, tightly wrapping the branches, distributing pressure, preventing marks or damage, and protecting the healthy growth of the branches.
