Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree planting technology, and more specifically, to a branch-fixing device for improving peach quality. Background Technology

[0002] In peach tree cultivation and management, branch pruning is a crucial technical measure that significantly impacts the growth of peach trees and the yield and quality of the fruit. The main purpose of branch pruning is to adjust the distribution and angle of branches to form a good canopy structure, thereby improving ventilation and light penetration within the tree, promoting photosynthesis, and ultimately increasing fruit yield and quality.

[0003] The most common method for pruning branches currently used is manual binding. This requires workers to use bamboo poles and straps to secure the pruned peach tree branches to the poles, based on the tree's growth and desired shape. The advantage of this method is that it allows for flexible adjustment of the branch position and angle to adapt to different tree shapes and growing conditions. However, this method also has significant disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Experience dependence: Workers need to have certain experience and skills to fix the branches firmly without affecting their growth, which requires a high level of skill from the workers.

[0005] 2. High labor intensity: Bending over and climbing for long periods of time consume a lot of the worker's physical strength and can easily lead to fatigue and injury.

[0006] 3. Low efficiency: Since it is a manual operation, the speed and quality of branch setting are limited by the skills and physical strength of the workers, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0007] Therefore, in view of the above problems, there is an urgent need to propose a branch-fixing device to improve peach quality, aiming to optimize the cultivation and branch-fixing process of peach trees, so as to reduce the operation process and improve work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a branch-fixing device to improve the quality of peaches, aiming to optimize the cultivation and branch-fixing process of peach trees, so as to reduce the operation process and improve work efficiency.

[0009] Technical Solution: A branch-fixing device for improving peach quality includes an installation frame, a hinge seat, positioning rods, a support plate, a limiting plate, a rotating seat, and an insert rod. One side of the installation frame is open, and a set of positioning rods is provided on each side of the installation frame. The positioning rods are arranged around the perimeter to fix the position of the tree trunk branches. Uprights are also provided on both sides of the top of the installation frame, and a support plate is inserted between the two uprights to close the space of the installation frame. There are two limiting plates, and a rotating seat is provided at one end of each limiting plate. A hinge seat is also provided on each side of the installation frame. The hinge seat is rotatably connected to the rotating seat on the same side, allowing the limiting plate to rotate. An insert rod is inserted between the hinge seat and the rotating seat to fix the angle of the limiting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes adjustment seats, which are inserted on both one side of the mounting frame and the support plate to coordinate the fixed position of the tree trunk.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a gravity frame and pins. Guide grooves are provided on the positioning rods, and a gravity frame is slidably arranged between two guide grooves on the same side. Pins are spaced apart at the bottom of the gravity frame.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes abutment blocks, which are symmetrically arranged on the gravity frame and embedded in the corresponding guide grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes lifting rods, which are installed on the gravity frame.

[0014] Furthermore, through holes for assisting in threading ropes are provided at intervals on both sides of the limiting plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects are: 1. This utility model achieves effective positioning of the fruit tree trunk around its perimeter through the cooperation of the positioning rod and the mounting frame, enabling precise branch orientation during the subsequent growth of the fruit tree. In addition, the positioning plate allows for easy adjustment of the branch position with simple rotation, greatly simplifying the operation process, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving work efficiency.

[0016] 2. By configuring a gravity frame and inserts, this utility model enhances the stability of both sides of the device, ensuring the stability of the entire device and thus significantly improving the reliability of the branching effect. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example: A branch-fixing device for improving peach quality, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1, a hinge seat 101, positioning rods 2, a support plate 3, a limiting plate 4, a rotating seat 402, and an insert rod 403. One side of the mounting frame 1 is open, allowing it to fit over the trunk of a fruit tree. A set of two positioning rods 2 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1, creating a four-way arrangement to secure the trunk and branches. The positioning rods 2 can be directly inserted into the ground for a more stable and secure installation. Vertical poles are also provided on the top left and right sides of the mounting frame 1, with a support plate 3 inserted between the two poles to close the opening of the mounting frame 1, thus limiting the position of the trunk. The limiting plate 403... There are two 4-position plates. The limiting plates 4 are mainly used to position the branches of the fruit trees. There are through holes 401 on both sides of the limiting plates 4 to assist in threading ropes. The branches of the fruit trees can be tied and restricted by ropes to further restrict the position of the branches and make them in a more suitable growth position, so as to improve the quality of the fruit produced by the fruit trees. A rotating seat 402 is provided at one end of each of the two limiting plates 4. A hinge seat 101 is also provided on the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1. The hinge seat 101 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 402 on the same side, so that the limiting plates 4 can rotate. A rod 403 is inserted between the hinge seat 101 and the rotating seat 402 to fix the angle of the limiting plates 4.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, it includes an adjustment seat 5. Adjustment seats 5 are inserted on the rear side of the mounting frame 1 and the support plate 3 to coordinate the fixed position of the tree trunk. The adjustment seat 5 has a multi-divided space in an arrangement, so that the position of the adjustment seat 5 can be adjusted more accurately and meticulously when it is moved, so as to fit the position of the tree trunk more appropriately.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a gravity frame 6 and pins 7. Guide grooves 201 are provided on the positioning rod 2. The gravity frame 6 is slidably arranged between the two guide grooves 201 on the same side. Pins 7 are spaced at the bottom of the gravity frame 6, which can further stabilize the position of the two sides of the device and improve the overall stability.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a stop block 8, which is symmetrically arranged on the gravity frame 6. The stop block 8 is embedded in the corresponding guide groove 201, so that the movement of the gravity frame 6 can be smoother.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a lifting rod 9, which is provided on the gravity frame 6 for easy gripping to adjust the position of the gravity frame 6.

[0029] When it is necessary to prune fruit trees, first align the opening of the mounting frame 1 with the trunk of the fruit tree, and put the mounting frame 1 onto the trunk. Then, push the entire device down so that the positioning rod 2 inserts into the ground, thus restricting the position of one side of the trunk. Next, insert the support plate 3 between the uprights to close the opening of the mounting frame 1, thus restricting the position of the trunk around its perimeter. Then, the position of the adjusting seat 5 can be moved according to the thickness of the trunk, so that the adjusting seats 5 on both sides fit the trunk to further restrict the growth direction of the trunk. Then, the position of the fruit tree branch can be positioned by rotating the position of the adjusting limiting plate 4. Through the rotational engagement between the rotating seat 402 and the hinge seat 101, the limiting plate 4 can be rotated, placing the branch in the limiting position. On plate 4, the growth direction is restricted. Then, the rod 403 is inserted between the rotating seat 402 and the hinge seat 101 to fix the position of the limiting plate 4. If the position of the fruit tree branch is to be further fixed, the branch can be tied and fixed by passing a rope through the through hole 401 on the limiting plate 4. At this point, the trunk and branches of the fruit tree have been positioned. To ensure the stability of the subsequent device, the lifting rod 9 is held and the gravity frame 6 is pushed down, so that the gravity frame 6 slides down on the guide groove 201 of the positioning rod 2. Because of the setting of the abutment 8, the movement of the gravity frame 6 can be more stable. After the gravity frame 6 contacts the ground, it is pressed down so that the nail 7 is inserted into the ground to consolidate the position of the two sides of the device.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
