Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit planting technology, specifically to a branch support device for fruit planting. Background Technology

[0002] During the growth of fruit trees, as the weight of the fruit increases, the branches also need to withstand greater pressure. The branches are prone to breaking or drooping due to the inability to withstand the weight of the fruit, which affects the yield. Therefore, it is necessary to support the branches. Proper support can also help adjust the growth balance between branches, making it easier for fruit farmers to carry out agricultural operations such as fertilization, watering, pruning, and harvesting. It is of great significance to the management of fruit trees.

[0003] Chinese patent (authorization announcement number: CN 211532123 U, authorization announcement date: 2020.09.22) proposes a branch support device for fruit planting. This patent utilizes a second support rod that extends and retracts within the first support rod, thereby adapting to the height of fruit tree branches within a certain range. At the same time, the use of a support plate and a fixing plate in combination avoids the problem of the support plate detaching from the branch under external force, thus improving the practicality and stability of the branch support device for fruit planting.

[0004] Since a fruit tree usually has multiple branches that need support, but this patent can only support one branch at a time, fruit farmers need to install multiple of these devices under the fruit tree, which increases labor intensity and planting costs. At the same time, too many support devices may affect agricultural operations such as fertilization, watering, pruning, and harvesting, leading to reduced work efficiency. In order to support multiple fruit tree branches at the same time and reduce labor intensity and planting costs, we propose a branch support device for fruit planting. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 7The illustrated fruit tree branch support device includes a base 1, a central rod 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a rotating rod 12 rotatably passing through the central rod 2, the outer side of the rotating rod 12 being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the central rod 2, a rotating block 14 fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod 12, several sets of rotating plates 15 slidably connected to the outer side of the central rod 2, several sets of sliders fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plates 15 facing the central rod 2, a sliding groove matching the slider is opened on the central rod 2, the slider is slidably connected to the sliding groove, a sliding strip 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 15 away from the central rod 2, a support rod 10 is hinged to the side of the rotating plate 15 away from the central rod 2, a sliding block 7 is slidably connected to the sliding strip 6, a connecting rod 8 is hinged to the side of the sliding block 7 away from the sliding strip 6, the end of the connecting rod 8 away from the sliding block 7 is hinged to the support rod 10, and an extension rod 11 slidably passes through the support rod 10.

[0023] When using this device, first align the rotating rod 12 with the branch that needs to be supported, then fix the base 1 on the ground, hold and rotate the rotating block 14 to drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate, and adjust the height of the rotating rod 12 to support the branch. Then rotate the support rod 10 outward. At this time, the sliding block 7 slides down on the sliding bar 6 under the action of the connecting rod 8. At the same time, rotate the rotating plate 15 to drive the support rod 10 to rotate, so that the support rod 10 is aligned with the branch that needs to be supported, thereby achieving support for multiple groups of branches.

[0024] A connecting block 21 is hinged to one end of the extension rod 11 away from the support rod 10. A second screw 20 is rotatably threaded through the connecting block 21. The rear end of the connecting block 21 is threaded to the extension rod 11. The front end of the connecting block 21 rotatably passes through the extension rod 11. A second knob 18 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting block 21. A base plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top of both the connecting block 21 and the rotating rod 12.

[0025] The top of the base plate 26 is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 13, and the top of the base plate 26 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 25. The threaded sleeve 25 is threadedly connected to the clamping screw 24, and the top of the clamping screw 24 is fixedly connected to the top plate 23. Both sides of the top plate 23 are hinged to the connecting plate 22. The end of the connecting plate 22 away from the top plate 23 is hinged to the claw 19, which slides through the mounting shell 13.

[0026] Manually rotating the mounting housing 13 causes the clamping screw 24 to rotate via the grippers 19, connecting plate 22, and top plate 23. This raises or lowers the clamping screw 24, causing the two sets of grippers 19 to move closer together or separate, thus accommodating branches of different thicknesses and securing them to prevent them from detaching from the support device under external forces such as typhoons and heavy rain. Rotating the second knob 18 rotates the second screw 20, which can clamp or loosen the connecting block 21, thereby adjusting the angle of the grippers 19 and improving the applicability of the device.

[0027] A limiting plate 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the center rod 2. Several sets of inserts 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 3. The bottom of the sliding bar 6 has a slot that matches the insert 4. A spring 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insert 4. The bottom of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1.

[0028] Pressing down the limiting plate 3 causes the insert 4 to descend, disengaging it from the slot at the bottom of the sliding bar 6. At this point, the rotating plate 15 can rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the support rod 10. Once the position is adjusted, the limiting plate 3 is released. Under the action of the spring 5, the limiting plate 3 is reset upward, causing the insert 4 to insert into the slot at the bottom of the sliding bar 6, thus positioning the rotating plate 15.

[0029] A first knob 16 is rotatably connected to the side of the sliding block 7 away from the sliding bar 6. A first screw 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the first knob 16 close to the sliding block 7. The first screw 27 is threadedly connected to the sliding block 7.

[0030] After the support rod 10 is rotated to the appropriate position, the first knob 16 is rotated to drive the first screw 27 to rotate, so that the first screw 27 presses against the sliding bar 6, and the sliding block 7 no longer slides, thereby positioning the support rod 10.

[0031] The support rod 10 is provided with a pin 9, and the support rod 10 has a through hole that matches the pin 9. The extension rod 11 has several sets of through holes that match the pin 9. The pin 9 passes through the through holes on the support rod 10 and the extension rod 11.

[0032] Depending on the actual location of the tree branch, the extension rod 11 can be pulled out a certain distance from the support rod 10, and the pin 9 can be inserted into the through hole of the support rod 10 and the extension rod 11 to position the extension rod 11.

[0033] Working Principle: When using this device, first align the rotating rod 12 with the branch to be supported, then fix the base 1 on the ground. Hold and rotate the rotating block 14 to drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate, adjusting the height of the rotating rod 12 to support the branch. Next, press down the limiting plate 3 to lower the insert block 4, causing the insert block 4 to disengage from the slot at the bottom of the sliding bar 6. At this time, the rotating plate 15 can rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the support rod 10. After adjusting to the appropriate position, release the limiting plate 3. Under the action of the spring 5, the limiting plate 3 returns to its original position, driving the insert block 4 to insert into the slot at the bottom of the sliding bar 6, positioning the rotating plate 15. Then rotate the support rod 10. At this time, the sliding block 7 slides downward on the sliding bar 6 under the action of the connecting rod 8. After the support rod 10 rotates to the appropriate position, rotate the first knob 16 to drive the first screw 27 to rotate, causing the first screw 27 to press against the sliding bar 6. When the moving bar 6 is turned, the sliding block 7 stops sliding, thus positioning the support rod 10. Under the dual positioning of the rotating plate 15 and the sliding block 7, 10 is aligned with the branch to be supported. Depending on the actual position of the branch, the extension rod 11 can be pulled out a certain distance from the support rod 10, and the pin 9 is inserted into the through hole of the support rod 10 and the extension rod 11 to position the extension rod 11. Finally, the mounting shell 13 is manually rotated, which drives the clamping screw 24 to rotate through the jaws 19, the connecting plate 22 and the top plate 23. The clamping screw 24 rises or falls, causing the two sets of jaws 19 to move closer or separate, thus adapting to branches of different thicknesses and fixing them to prevent the branches from falling off the support device under the action of external forces such as typhoons and rainstorms. During use, the number of parts such as the rotating plate 15, the support rod 10 and the extension rod 11 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, so as to support multiple sets of branches. Rotating the second knob 18 drives the second screw 20 to rotate, which can clamp or loosen the connecting block 21, thereby adjusting the angle of the gripper 19 and improving the applicability of the device.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
