Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit tree branch pulling technology, and in particular relates to a retractable fruit tree branch opening device. Background Technology

[0002] A fruit tree angle opener is a tool used to help pull branches of fruit trees. It can increase the angle between branches and trunk to achieve the desired fruit tree angle.

[0003] Existing fruit tree angle openers can only pull at one angle, while different fruit tree species and ages, such as apples and peaches, require different branch pulling angles, such as 90° and 120°. To solve this problem, we designed a telescopic fruit tree angle opener that can meet the branch pulling needs of different tree species and ages. Therefore, we propose a telescopic fruit tree angle opener. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable fruit tree angle opener to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, comprising:

[0006] Two tubes, each with two mounting shafts rotatably mounted at one end. One end of each of the two mounting shafts is fixedly mounted with a large fixing rod, and the other end of the two mounting shafts is fixedly mounted with a small fixing rod. Both tubes have an opening groove inside, and the two opening grooves are connected to each other.

[0007] The mounting base is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of one of the opening slots. A rotating rod is rotatably installed inside the mounting base. The bottom end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of one of the opening slots. A threaded rod is fixedly installed on the top end of the rotating rod. A fixing block is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the other opening slot. The inner side wall of the fixing block is threadedly connected to the outer side wall of the threaded rod.

[0008] A drive assembly, wherein the drive assembly is disposed in one of the opening slots and is used to drive the rotating rod to rotate;

[0009] Two sets of adjustment components are respectively installed on the two tubes and are used to move the two large fixed rods and the two small fixed rods.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the driving component further includes a first bevel gear, which is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod. A motor is fixedly installed on one side of the inner side of one of the opening slots. A second bevel gear is fixedly installed at one end of the motor output shaft, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the adjusting component further includes two mounting gears, which are respectively fixedly installed on the outer side wall of two mounting shafts and mesh with each other. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the tube body, and a fixing seat is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate. A threaded sleeve is rotatably installed in the fixing seat.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the adjusting component further includes a screw, the screw being threadedly installed in a threaded sleeve, one end of the screw being rotatably mounted with a first rotating seat, a connecting rod being fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of one of the mounting gears, one end of the connecting rod being rotatably mounted with a third rotating seat, a second rotating seat being rotatably mounted on one side of the third rotating seat, and the same rotating block being rotatably mounted between the second rotating seat and the first rotating seat.

[0013] In the above technical solution, further, each of the two tubes is provided with a sliding groove, the two sliding grooves are connected to each other, each of the two sliding grooves is provided with a sliding rod, the bottom end of the two sliding rods is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the two sliding grooves respectively, and the outer side wall of the two sliding rods is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the two sliding grooves respectively.

[0014] In the above technical solution, furthermore, both of the large fixing rods and the two small fixing rods are "L" shaped structures.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the inner sidewalls of the two large fixing rods and the two small fixing rods are provided with anti-slip texture.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This retractable fruit tree branch opening device, when in use, the worker first observes the shape of the branch, and after confirming the branch length, starts the motor. The motor drives the second bevel gear to rotate, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear to drive the rotating rod to rotate. The fixed block moves on the threaded rod, causing one of the tubes to rise until the length of the device is adjusted to match the length of the branch. This structure can adapt to branches of any length and can meet the branch pulling needs of different tree species and ages. It is simple and practical.

[0018] 2. This retractable fruit tree angle opener allows for easy adjustment of tree branches. When the angle needs to be adjusted to fit the branch, the worker uses a screwdriver to align with the screw and rotates it according to the branch's angle. To increase the angle of the two large fixing rods, the screw is rotated counter-clockwise. The screw moves outward within the threaded sleeve, which in turn rotates within the fixing seat. The first rotating seat pulls the rotating block, which in turn drives the second rotating seat, which in turn pulls the third rotating seat. Finally, the third rotating seat pulls the connecting rod outward. A gear fixed to the other end of the connecting rod meshes with another gear, causing the two large fixing rods to rotate and thus increase the angle. To decrease the angle of the two large fixing rods, simply rotate the screw clockwise. The same principle applies to adjusting the angle of the two small fixing rods. This structure is simple and practical; simply controlling the direction of screw rotation adjusts the angle of the two large and two small fixing rods. Attached Figure Description

[0033] include:

[0034] Two tube bodies 1, each with two mounting shafts 14 rotatably mounted at one end. A large fixing rod 3 is fixedly mounted at one end of each of the two mounting shafts 14, and a small fixing rod 4 is fixedly mounted at the other end of each of the other two mounting shafts 14. Both tube bodies 1 have internal openings 5, which are connected to each other. A mounting base 6 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of one of the openings 5. A rotating rod 7 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting base 6, with its bottom end rotatably connected to the bottom surface of one of the openings 5. A threaded rod 2 is fixedly mounted at the top end of the rotating rod 7. A fixing block 11 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the other opening 5, and its inner wall is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 2. A drive assembly is also included. The device consists of a drive assembly located in one of the opening slots 5, which drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate; two sets of adjustment assemblies are respectively located on two tubes 1, which drive the two large fixed rods 3 and the two small fixed rods 4 to move. When the device is in use, the worker first observes the shape of the branch, and after confirming the length of the branch, starts the motor 10. The motor 10 drives the second bevel gear 9 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 9 meshes with the first bevel gear 8 to drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The fixed block 11 moves on the threaded rod 2, causing one of the tubes 1 to rise until the length of the device is adjusted to match the length of the branch. This structure can adapt to branches of any length and can meet the branch pulling needs of different tree species and ages. It is simple and practical.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] This embodiment provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0037] The drive assembly includes a first bevel gear 8, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 7. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner opening slot 5. A second bevel gear 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the motor 10. The second bevel gear 9 meshes with the first bevel gear 8. After confirming the length of the branch, the motor 10 is started. The motor 10 drives the second bevel gear 9 to rotate. The second bevel gear 9 meshes with the first bevel gear 8, causing the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The fixed block 11 moves on the threaded rod 2, causing one of the tubes 1 to rise. This structure can adapt to branches of any length and is simple and practical.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] This embodiment provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0040] The adjustment assembly includes two mounting gears 13, which are fixedly mounted on the outer walls of two mounting shafts 14. The two mounting gears 13 mesh with each other. A mounting plate 17 is fixedly mounted on one side of the tube body 1, and a fixing seat 18 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 17. A threaded sleeve 19 is rotatably mounted inside the fixing seat 18. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the device to fit the tree branch, the worker holds a screwdriver and aligns it with the screw 20, turning the screw 20 according to the angle of the tree branch. When it is necessary to expand the angle of the two large fixing rods 3, the screw 20 is turned counterclockwise. The screw 20 moves outward inside the threaded sleeve 19, and the threaded sleeve 19 also moves and rotates inside the fixing seat 18 in coordination with the movement of the screw 20. The rotation of the threaded sleeve 19 is to prevent the screw 20 from getting stuck during the rotation process, which is a practical benefit.

[0041] Example 4:

[0042] This embodiment provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0043] The adjusting assembly also includes a screw 20, which is threadedly installed inside a threaded sleeve 19. A first rotating seat 21 is rotatably mounted on one end of the screw 20. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one of the mounting gears 13. A third rotating seat 24 is rotatably mounted on one end of the connecting rod 16. A second rotating seat 22 is rotatably mounted on one side of the third rotating seat 24. A rotating block 23 is rotatably mounted between the second rotating seat 22 and the first rotating seat 21. The first rotating seat 21 pulls the rotating block 23, which in turn drives the second rotating seat 22. The seat 22 pulls the third rotating seat 24, and finally the third rotating seat 24 pulls the connecting rod 16 to move outward. The gear mounting gear 13 fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 16 meshes with another mounting gear 13, thereby driving the two large fixed rods 3 to rotate to achieve the effect of expanding the angle. When it is necessary to reduce the angle of the two large fixed rods 3, simply turn the screw 20 clockwise. The same principle applies to adjusting the angle of the two small fixed rods 4. This structure only requires controlling the rotation direction of the screw 20 to adjust the angle of the two large fixed rods 3 and the two small fixed rods 4, which is simple and practical.

[0044] Example 5:

[0045] This embodiment provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0046] The device has two tubes 1, each with a groove 15 inside. The two grooves 15 are connected to each other. Each groove 15 has a sliding rod 12 inside. The bottom ends of the two sliding rods 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the two grooves 15, and the outer walls of the two sliding rods 12 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two grooves 15. When one of the tubes 1 rises, the two sliding rods 12 provide support for that tube, preventing the device from being unstable on the tree branches due to insufficient support. It is simple and practical.

[0047] Example 6:

[0048] This embodiment provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0049] Among them, the two large fixing rods 3 and the two small fixing rods 4 are all "L" shaped structures. The L-shaped structure has high mechanical stability, can flexibly adapt to different site conditions, and is simple and practical.

[0050] Example 7:

[0051] This embodiment provides a retractable fruit tree angle opener, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0052] The inner walls of the two large fixing rods 3 and the two small fixing rods 4 are all provided with anti-slip texture to prevent them from slipping when they are fixed to the tree branches, thus enhancing stability and providing practical benefits.

[0053] In use: When using this device, the worker first observes the shape of the branch and, after confirming the length of the branch, starts the motor 10. The motor 10 drives the second bevel gear 9 to rotate. The second bevel gear 9 meshes with the first bevel gear 8, driving the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The fixed block 11 moves on the threaded rod 2, causing one of the tubes 1 to rise until the length of the device is adjusted to match the length of the branch. This structure can adapt to branches of any length and can meet the branch pulling needs of different tree species and ages. It is simple and practical.

[0054] When the device angle needs to be adjusted to fit the tree branch, the worker holds a screwdriver and aligns it with screw 20, rotating screw 20 according to the angle of the tree branch. When the angle of the two large fixing rods 3 needs to be increased, screw 20 is rotated counterclockwise. Screw 20 moves outward within threaded sleeve 19, and threaded sleeve 19 also rotates within fixing seat 18 in coordination with the movement of screw 20. First rotating seat 21 pulls rotating block 23, rotating block 23 drives second rotating seat 22, second rotating seat 22 pulls third rotating seat 24, and finally third rotating seat 24 pulls connecting rod 16 outward. Gear mounting gear 13 fixedly installed at the other end of connecting rod 16 meshes with another mounting gear 13, thereby driving the two large fixing rods 3 to rotate to achieve the effect of increasing the angle. When the angle of the two large fixing rods 3 needs to be decreased, simply rotate screw 20 clockwise. The same principle applies to adjusting the angle of the two small fixing rods 4. This structure only requires controlling the rotation direction of screw 20 to adjust the angle of the two large fixing rods 3 and the two small fixing rods 4, making it simple and practical.
