Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree protection technology, and in particular to a protective barrel structure for the protection of ancient trees. Background Technology
[0002] Protective barrel structures for ancient tree conservation are external structural facilities used to protect ancient trees. They primarily provide physical protection to reduce damage from the external environment. These structures are typically made of environmentally friendly, breathable materials and are used to wrap around the trunk or roots. Designed with the tree's growth needs in mind, the protective barrel structure effectively isolates the tree from mechanical damage, animal bites, and soil compaction, while not hindering its normal growth and respiration. In this way, unnecessary harm is prevented, a stable and safe growing environment is created for the ancient tree, extending its lifespan and promoting ecological protection and sustainable development.
[0003] Existing protective barrel structures are mostly constructed using brick masonry, with reinforced concrete columns to enhance overall integrity. A metal grid needs to be installed on the top of the inner wall of the barrel to prevent people or animals from falling in. The metal grid should be installed around the trunk as much as possible, minimizing the gap between the grid and the trunk to achieve the best protective effect. However, the trunks vary greatly in thickness, so the grid structure needs to be customized for different sizes of trunks, which significantly increases manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to provide a protective barrel structure for the protection of ancient trees, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. In this solution, by setting multiple long spliced grids and multiple short spliced grids, the diameter of the rectangular through hole can be reduced according to the user's needs, so that the grid can be adapted to tree trunks of various sizes and tightly wrap the tree trunk. The main grid plate, long spliced grids and short spliced grids have a simple structure, are easy to install and disassemble, and the modular design effectively reduces manufacturing costs and improves installation efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A protective barrel structure for protecting ancient trees includes a protective barrel and a pair of symmetrical main grid plates. The combined main grid plates match the shape of the inner cavity of the protective barrel, and each of the main grid plates has a rectangular groove at one end. The combined rectangular grooves of the main grid plates form a rectangular through hole. The four inner walls of the rectangular through hole have multiple rectangular grooves, and multiple long spliced grids and multiple short spliced grids are arranged inside the rectangular through hole. The outer ends of the long spliced grids and the short spliced grids are respectively connected to multiple first locking blocks and multiple second locking blocks. The first locking blocks and the second locking blocks are matched with the first locking grooves. One end of the long spliced grid has multiple second locking grooves that cooperate with the first locking blocks, and one end of the short spliced grid has multiple third locking grooves that cooperate with the second locking blocks.
[0007] Preferably, the length of the short spliced grid is the same as the length of the rectangular through-hole cavity.
[0008] Preferably, the short spliced grid is provided with various specifications of different lengths.
[0009] Preferably, the short splicing grid is arranged perpendicular to the long splicing grid.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the inner wall of the protective barrel is connected to a plurality of drain pipes arranged in a ring at equal intervals, one end of which passes through the protective barrel and extends to the outside of the protective barrel.
[0011] Preferably, the drain pipe is made of a heat-conducting material.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0021] like Figure 1-4 The protective barrel structure for protecting ancient trees shown includes a protective barrel 1 and a pair of symmetrical main grid plates 2. The combined main grid plates 2 match the shape of the inner cavity of the protective barrel 1, and each of the main grid plates 2 has a rectangular groove 3 at one end close to each other. The combined rectangular grooves 3 of the main grid plates 2 form a rectangular through hole. Multiple rectangular grooves 3 are formed on the four inner walls of the rectangular through hole, and multiple long spliced grids 5 and multiple short spliced grids 8 are arranged in the rectangular through hole. Multiple first locking blocks 6 and multiple second locking blocks 9 are respectively connected to the outer ends of the long spliced grids 5 and the short spliced grids 8. The first locking blocks 6 and the second locking blocks 9 are matched with the first locking grooves 4. Multiple second locking grooves 7 are formed at one end of the long spliced grids 5 to cooperate with the first locking blocks 6, and multiple third locking grooves 10 are formed at one end of the short spliced grids 8 to cooperate with the second locking blocks 9. The length of the short spliced grids 8 is the same as the length of the inner cavity of the rectangular through hole. The short spliced grids 8 are provided with various specifications of different lengths and are arranged perpendicular to the long spliced grids 5.
[0022] The protective barrel structure for ancient tree protection is an external structural facility used to protect ancient trees. It mainly provides physical protection to reduce damage to ancient trees from the external environment. It is usually made of environmentally friendly and breathable materials and wraps around the trunk or roots. A metal grid needs to be installed on the top of the inner wall of the barrel to prevent people or animals from falling in. The metal grid should be installed around the outside of the trunk as much as possible and the gap between the grid and the trunk should be minimized to achieve the best protection effect. However, the trunk thickness varies greatly, so the grid structure needs to be customized for different sizes of trunks, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost.
[0023] In this design, the protective barrel 1 surrounds the tree roots and is constructed using brick masonry. Concrete structural columns enhance its overall integrity. A pair of main grid plates 2 are installed around both sides of the tree and joined together, positioning the tree within a rectangular through-hole formed by a pair of rectangular grooves 3. The abutting ends of the main grid plates 2 can be connected and fixed with bolts. The outer ends of the main grid plates 2 can also be connected and fixed to the inner wall of the protective barrel 1 with bolts. The rectangular through-hole has a relatively large diameter, suitable for most trees. After the main grid plates 2 are installed, the user can arrange multiple long spliced grids 5 from both sides of the tree trunk into the rectangular through-hole, and fix the long spliced grids 5 by engaging the first locking block 6 with the rectangular groove 3. The inner long spliced grid 5 is fixed to the adjacent long spliced grid 5 by the engagement of the first locking block 6 and the second locking slot 7, thereby reducing the gap between the inner wall of the rectangular through hole and the tree trunk. Then, the user selects a short spliced grid 8 of appropriate size and places it between the innermost pair of long spliced grids 5. Similarly, the short spliced grid 8 is fixed by the engagement of the second locking block 9 and the rectangular slot 3. The short spliced grid 8 located on the inner side is fixed to the adjacent short spliced grid 8 by the engagement of the second locking block 9 and the third locking slot 10. This eliminates the gap between the tree and the grid to the greatest extent and prevents people, animals or large debris from falling into the interior of the protective bucket 1. The modular design makes it suitable for trees of various sizes.
[0024] The bottom of the inner wall of the protective barrel 1 is connected to a number of drain pipes 11 arranged in a ring at equal intervals. One end of the drain pipe 11 passes through the protective barrel 1 and extends to the outside of the protective barrel 1. The drain pipe 11 is made of heat-conducting material.
[0025] In this design, multiple drainage pipes 11 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the protective barrel 1 can promote drainage within the protective barrel 1. Since the lower half of the protective barrel 1 is usually buried in the soil, when rainwater accumulates inside the protective barrel 1 during rainy days, the drainage pipes 11 can help drain the rainwater into the soil, preventing the tree roots from being soaked in rainwater for a long time. At the same time, the release of carbon dioxide by the tree will cause the temperature inside the protective barrel 1 to rise, creating a temperature difference between the inside of the protective barrel 1 and the outside, which will cause water droplets to condense on the inner wall of the protective barrel 1. This will keep the tree trunk in a damp environment for a long time, causing it to rot. The drainage pipes 11 are made of heat-conducting material, which can conduct the temperature inside the protective barrel 1 to the soil, balance the temperature difference, and thus prevent water droplets from condensing.
[0026] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0027] First, the protective barrel 1 is constructed around the tree. Next, the user surrounds the tree with a pair of main grid panels 2 on both sides, aligning them so that the tree is positioned within the rectangular through-hole formed by a pair of rectangular grooves 3. The two main grid panels 2 are then connected and fixed at one end with bolts. The outer ends of the main grid panels 2 are then connected and fixed to the inner wall of the protective barrel 1 with bolts. After the main grid panels 2 are installed, the user arranges multiple long spliced grids 5 from both sides of the tree trunk into the rectangular through-hole, and fixes the long spliced grids 5 by engaging the first locking block 6 with the rectangular groove 3, placing them on the inner side. The long spliced grid 5 is fixed to the adjacent long spliced grid 5 by the engagement of the first locking block 6 and the second locking slot 7. Then, the user selects a short spliced grid 8 of appropriate size and places it between the innermost pair of long spliced grids 5. The short spliced grid 8 is fixed by the engagement of the second locking block 9 and the rectangular slot 3. The short spliced grid 8 located on the inner side is fixed to the adjacent short spliced grid 8 by the engagement of the second locking block 9 and the third locking slot 10. This eliminates the gap between the tree and the grid to the greatest extent and prevents people, animals or large debris from falling into the interior of the protective barrel 1.
