Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape support technology, and in particular to a support mechanism for landscape greening. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of landscape greening, supporting and shaping trees is a crucial step in maintaining the aesthetics of garden landscapes and promoting the healthy growth of trees. Current technologies often employ simple tools such as ropes and wires to fix and support branches. While these methods can achieve a certain level of support, they suffer from problems such as cumbersome operation, inconvenient adjustment, and poor adaptability. For example, workers need to spend a considerable amount of time binding and adjusting the branches, and once bound, it is difficult to flexibly adjust them according to the growth of the branches or the needs of the landscape. Furthermore, these traditional tools have limited adaptability to tree trunks of different thicknesses and shapes, as well as branches of different heights and angles, making it difficult to meet the complex and ever-changing needs of landscape greening. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model proposes a support mechanism for landscape greening, which solves the problems of cumbersome operation and difficulty in meeting the complex and ever-changing needs of landscape greening in the prior art.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A support mechanism for landscaping includes a fixed ring, a limiting groove along the side wall of the fixed ring, several connecting rods sliding within the limiting groove, a winding drum fixed to one end of each connecting rod, a sliding rod fixed inside the winding drum, a rotating shaft sleeved on the sliding rod, one end of the rotating shaft passing through the winding drum, a handle fixed to the side of the rotating shaft outside the winding drum, a pawl rotatably connected to the other end of the winding drum via a pin, a ratchet fixed to one end of the rotating shaft that engages with the pawl, a fixing line wound and fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft, a connecting ring fixed to the end of the fixing line outside the winding drum, the connecting ring fixed to a tree branch, and multiple support rods fixed to the bottom end of the fixed ring.
[0006] Furthermore, the fixing ring includes two parallel adjustable clamps, the inner sides of which abut against the tree trunk via arc-shaped anti-slip wooden pads, and the spacing between the adjustable clamps is a limiting groove. The adjustable clamp design makes the installation process simpler and faster, requiring no complicated tools or steps; installation can be completed simply by adjusting the clamp spacing and fixing it, thus improving work efficiency.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the winding drum is provided with a through hole, through which the fixing line passes. The inside of the through hole is abutted against the fixing line by a sealing ring. The design of the through hole and the sealing ring not only improves the dustproof performance of the winding drum, but also enhances the stability of the fixing line and the tensile force transmission efficiency.
[0008] Furthermore, a ring-shaped clamp is fitted onto the tree trunk above the fixing ring. The inner side of the ring-shaped clamp has an arc-shaped chamfer, and the fixing line passes between the ring-shaped clamp and the tree trunk. The combination of the ring-shaped clamp and the chamfer not only limits the swaying of the fixing line but also reduces the risk of stress concentration and damage to the tree trunk.
[0009] Furthermore, the support rod includes a rotating shaft and a telescopic rod. The rotating shaft is fixed to the bottom surface of the fixed ring, and a U-shaped bracket is rotatably attached to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. A rotating rod is fixed between the side walls at both ends of the U-shaped bracket, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod. A support foot is hinged to the bottom end of the telescopic rod. Through the combination of the rotating shaft, the U-shaped bracket, and the rotating rod, the support rod can provide stable support from multiple directions, improving the reliability of the support mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting ring is a retaining ring. The adjustable tightening force of the retaining ring can prevent excessive pressure or damage to the branches.
[0011] This invention utilizes a handle to control the engagement of a ratchet and pawl, enabling rapid deployment and retraction of the fixing line. Operation is simple and quick. A connecting rod slides within a limiting groove, allowing for flexible adjustment of the support mechanism's position based on the branch's location and shape. This facilitates rapid branch fixing and shaping by workers and adapts to tree trunks of varying thicknesses and shapes, as well as branches of different heights and angles. The fixing ring is supported and limited by a support rod, ensuring a stable structure and effective support for the tree trunk. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] Example 1, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a support mechanism for landscaping, including a fixed ring 1. A limiting groove 2 is provided along the side wall of the fixed ring 1. Several connecting rods 3 slide within the limiting groove 2. A winding drum 4 is fixed to one end of each connecting rod 3. A sliding rod 5 is fixed inside the winding drum 4. A rotating shaft 6 is sleeved on the sliding rod 5. One end of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the winding drum 4. A handle 7 is fixed to the side of the rotating shaft 6 outside the winding drum 4. A pawl 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the winding drum 4 via a pin. A ratchet 9 that can cooperate with the pawl 8 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 6. A fixing line 10 is wound and fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 6. A connecting ring 11 is fixed to the end of the fixing line 10 outside the winding drum 4. The connecting ring 11 is fixed to a tree branch. Several support rods 12 are fixed to the bottom end of the fixed ring 1. The cooperation between the pawl 8 and the ratchet 9 is prior art. The pawl 8 can be connected to the winding drum 4 via a torsion spring, which facilitates the cooperation between the pawl 8 and the ratchet 9 and improves the reliability of operation. The fixing line 10 can be made of multi-strand steel wire rope to improve tensile strength.
[0022] During use, the fixing ring 1 is fixed to the tree trunk, and the fixing ring 1 is supported and limited by the support rods 12. Multiple support rods 12 provide stable support for the entire mechanism. Then, the handle 7 moves the rotating shaft 6, disengaging the ratchet 9 from the pawl 8. At this time, both the rotating shaft 6 and the fixing line 10 can rotate freely. Next, the connecting ring 11 is placed on the branch. The handle 7 moves the rotating shaft 6 again, engaging the ratchet 9 with the pawl 8. Then, the handle 7 is rotated, causing the fixing line 10 to wind around the rotating shaft 6. The tension of the rotating shaft 6 and the fixing line 10 provides continuous tension to the branch, allowing the branch to bend and maintain the desired shape using its own flexibility. At the same time, it reduces the height of the branch, facilitating pruning and maintenance, and improving the efficiency of garden management. The engagement of the pawl 8 and the ratchet 9 ensures that the fixing line 10 can wind around the rotating shaft 6 in one direction when the handle 7 is turned, without unwinding in the opposite direction, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the operation.
[0023] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the bottom of the winding drum 4 has a through hole 14, through which the fixing line 10 passes. The inner side of the through hole 14 abuts against the fixing line 10 via a sealing ring. The through hole 14 and sealing ring at the bottom of the winding drum 4 effectively prevent dust, dead leaves, and other foreign objects from entering the interior of the winding drum 4, helping to maintain the cleanliness of the interior and reducing rotational obstruction or component wear caused by the accumulation of foreign objects, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. Simultaneously, since the through hole 14 is at the bottom of the winding drum 4, when the fixing line 10 needs to be fixed to a tree branch, the fixing line 10 needs to abut against the outer wall of the winding drum 4. At this time, the winding drum 4 forms a wrap angle with the fixing line 10, allowing the fixing line 10 to more stably abut against the outer wall of the winding drum 4 under force. This increases the contact area and friction between the fixing line 10 and the winding drum 4, helping to prevent the fixing line 10 from slipping or loosening under tension, and improving the stability of the support mechanism.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an annular clamp 15 is fitted onto the tree trunk above the fixing ring 1. The inner side of the annular clamp 15 has an arc-shaped chamfer, and the fixing line 10 passes between the annular clamp 15 and the tree trunk. By setting the annular clamp 15, the fixing line 10 can be limited near the branch fork, reducing the swaying length of the fixing line 10 and preventing it from swaying due to excessive length. In strong winds or when branches sway, the annular clamp 15 can ensure the stability of the fixing line 10, improving the reliability of the support mechanism. The arc-shaped chamfer design on the inner side of the annular clamp 15 effectively reduces stress concentration at the contact point between the fixing line 10 and the clamp, helping to reduce the risk of wear and breakage of the fixing line 10 during stress, and extending the service life of the fixing line 10.
[0025] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the support rod 12 includes a rotating shaft 17 and a telescopic rod 16. The rotating shaft 17 is fixed to the bottom surface of the fixing ring 1. A U-shaped bracket 18 is rotatably attached to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 17. A rotating rod 20 is fixed between the side walls at both ends of the U-shaped bracket 18. The rotating rod 20 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 16. A support foot 19 is hinged to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 16. The telescopic rod 16 is an existing manual telescopic component, such as a threaded telescopic rod 16, which allows the height of the support rod 12 to be easily adjusted according to actual needs without additional tools or equipment. By connecting the rotating shaft 17 to the U-shaped bracket 18, the telescopic rod 16 can rotate 360 degrees. The rotatable connection between the rotating rod 20 and the telescopic rod 16 greatly improves the flexibility of the support rod 12, enabling it to easily adapt to various installation angles and positions, and to accommodate different levels of flatness on the ground. The support foot 19 increases the contact area between the telescopic rod 16 and the ground, preventing the support rod 12 from sliding or tilting, and also enhances overall stability by distributing pressure.
[0026] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the connecting ring 11 is a retaining ring. The retaining ring is existing technology, such as an open retaining ring or a flexible retaining ring. The retaining ring can be easily fitted onto the branch and secured through its opening or elastic properties, simplifying the disassembly and installation process. The retaining ring has a certain degree of elasticity and adjustability, allowing it to adapt to branches of different thicknesses.
[0027] Example 2, as Figure 6 As shown, the fixing ring 1 includes two parallel adjustable clamps 13. The inner sides of each adjustable clamp 13 abut against the tree trunk via arc-shaped anti-slip pads. The spacing between the adjustable clamps 13 is a limiting groove 2. The adjustable clamps 13 are existing technology, allowing for tight fixing to tree trunks of various thicknesses, improving the adaptability and versatility of the device. The two parallel adjustable clamps 13 abut against the tree trunk via arc-shaped anti-slip pads, increasing the contact area and friction, ensuring the stability of the fixing ring 1 on the tree trunk. The arc-shaped anti-slip pads not only provide good support but also effectively prevent the clamps from directly pressing against the tree trunk surface, reducing damage to the trunk. Other structures in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
