Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetation transplantation technology, and in particular to a root protection device for transplanting large ancient and famous trees. Background Technology
[0002] Ancient and famous trees are precious natural and historical legacies, carrying rich ecological, cultural, and historical value. However, with the continuous advancement of urbanization and infrastructure construction, ancient and famous trees often face the fate of being transplanted. Due to their long age, extensive and fragile root systems, ancient and famous trees are easily damaged during transplantation, resulting in a low survival rate after transplantation.
[0003] In the transplantation of ancient and famous trees, root protection is particularly crucial. Roots are the main organs for trees to absorb water and nutrients; damage to them will severely affect the tree's growth and survival. Traditional transplantation methods often lack effective protection for the roots, such as directly scattering the tree roots inside a truck bed, which can easily cause root damage during transportation due to bumps and collisions. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a root protection device for transplanting large ancient and famous trees. It provides basic physical protection for the tree roots through two root protection sleeves, and the design of the inflatable air bladder effectively prevents the roots from being directly damaged by the outside world during the transplanting process. At the same time, the buffer component inside the trunk protection sleeve can absorb and reduce the impact and vibration that may occur during the transplanting process, further protecting the trunk from damage.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A root protection device for transplanting large ancient and famous trees includes two root protection sleeves. A trunk protection sleeve is fixedly installed at the upper end of the root protection sleeve. A first mounting plate is fixedly installed at both the left and right ends of the root protection sleeve, and a second mounting plate is fixedly installed at both the left and right ends of the trunk protection sleeve.
[0007] The root protective sleeve is equipped with protective components inside to protect the tree roots;
[0008] The trunk protective sleeve has a cushioning component inside to mitigate impact.
[0009] Preferably, the protective component includes an inflatable airbag fixedly installed on the inner side of the root protective sleeve, and the upper end of the root protective sleeve has an air injection port for inflating the inflatable airbag.
[0010] Preferably, an air pump is fixedly installed at the upper end of the root protective sleeve, an air injection pipe is fixedly installed at the output end of the air pump, and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the other end of the air injection pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting pipe is a U-shaped pipe, and its two ends are respectively inserted and fixed to two air injection ports.
[0012] Preferably, both the root protective sleeve and the inflatable airbag have multiple ventilation holes.
[0013] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes a buffer plate disposed inside the tree trunk protective sleeve, and the buffer plate and the tree trunk protective sleeve are elastically connected by a plurality of buffer springs disposed at equal intervals.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The root protection sleeve and trunk protection sleeve adopt a modular design, which is easy to disassemble and clean, and can be reused multiple times, reducing transplanting costs and minimizing resource waste. The two root protection sleeves provide basic physical protection for the tree roots, effectively preventing direct damage to the roots from the outside world during transplanting.
[0016] The inflatable air bladder inside the root protective sleeve can fit tightly against the tree roots after inflation, providing extra support and fixation for the roots, ensuring the stability of the roots during transplantation, and reducing the risk of root damage.
[0017] Both the root protective sleeve and the inflatable air bladder have multiple honeycomb-shaped ventilation holes. These holes allow air circulation, ensuring that the roots receive sufficient oxygen during transplantation to maintain normal root respiration and growth. The honeycomb design not only improves ventilation efficiency but also effectively prevents soil or foreign objects from clogging the ventilation holes, maintaining a healthy growth environment for the roots.
[0018] The internal cushioning components of the trunk protector absorb and mitigate impacts and vibrations that may occur during transplantation, protecting the trunk from damage. The cushioning plate is designed with flexible padding that conforms to the shape of different trunks, preventing damage to the bark while providing an extra layer of protection.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.
[0024] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed for a large-scale ancient tree transplant root protection device, and its component layout may also be more complex.
[0025] Some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 A large-scale root protection device for transplanting ancient and famous trees includes two root protection sleeves 1, which are fitted around the roots of the tree to provide basic physical protection for the roots. A trunk protection sleeve 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the root protection sleeve 1. A first mounting plate 3 is fixedly installed at both the left and right ends of the root protection sleeve 1, and a second mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed at both the left and right ends of the trunk protection sleeve 2.
[0027] The root protective sleeve 1 is equipped with a protective component for protecting the tree roots. The protective component includes an inflatable air bladder 12 fixedly installed on the inner side of the root protective sleeve 1. When the air bladder is not inflated, it is tightly attached to the inner side of the root protective sleeve 1 and is in a contracted state. The upper end of the root protective sleeve 1 is provided with an air inlet 9 for inflating the air bladder 12. An air pump 11 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the root protective sleeve 1. An air injection pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the output end of the air pump 11. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly installed on the other end of the air injection pipe 7. The connecting pipe 8 is a U-shaped pipe. The two ends of the connecting pipe 8 are respectively inserted and fixed to the two air inlets 9.
[0028] Both the root protective sleeve 1 and the expansion air bladder 12 have multiple ventilation holes 10. These ventilation holes 10 allow air circulation. The ventilation holes 10 adopt a honeycomb distribution design to ensure that the roots can obtain sufficient air circulation during the transplanting process, while preventing soil or foreign objects from clogging the roots and maintaining a healthy growth environment for the roots.
[0029] The trunk protective sleeve 2 has a cushioning component inside to reduce impact. The cushioning component includes a cushioning plate 6 inside the trunk protective sleeve 2. The cushioning plate 6 is designed with flexible padding to fit the surface of the trunk, which can adapt to different trunk shapes, avoid damage to the bark, and provide an additional protective layer. The cushioning plate 6 and the trunk protective sleeve 2 are elastically connected by multiple equally spaced cushioning springs 5, which can absorb and reduce the impact and vibration that may occur during transplantation, and protect the trunk from damage.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] When in use, first align the two root protection sleeves 1 with the trunk protection sleeve 2, and at the same time align the two first mounting plates 3 and the two second mounting plates 4. Then, use bolts and nuts to fasten the two root protection sleeves 1 with the trunk protection sleeve 2.
[0032] Then, the air inlet tube 7 and the U-shaped connecting tube 8 are connected to the two air inlet ports 9 to ensure that the air bladders in the two root protection sleeves 1 can be inflated simultaneously. The air pump 11 is started. After the inflatable air bladders 12 are inflated, they will fit tightly against the roots of the tree, providing additional support and protection to prevent root damage during transplantation.
