Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pruning devices, and more particularly to a rhododendron branch pruning device. Background Technology
[0002] Azalea is the common name for plants in the genus Rhododendron of the family Ericaceae. It is also commonly known as rhododendron, mountain pomegranate, and mountain azalea. Electric pruning shears are a power tool used to prune azalea branches. They are powered by a battery, which drives an electric motor. The motor's rotation is converted into the opening and closing motion of the blades through a transmission mechanism, using the sharp edges of the blades to cut the branches.
[0003] However, because azalea branches are quite dense, repeatedly pruning individual branches using electric pruning shears is tedious. Furthermore, the blades of electric pruning shears have a limited range of cutting size, making overall pruning of azalea branches time-consuming and laborious. This also increases the risk of branches slipping out of the blades during the pruning process, thus affecting the overall pruning efficiency.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that there is a defect in the pruning of azalea branches where the branches slip out of the blades of the electric pruning shears. Therefore, they have proposed an azalea branch pruning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem of branches slipping out of the blades of electric pruning shears during azalea pruning, this application provides an azalea branch pruning device.
[0006] The rhododendron branch pruning tool provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A rhododendron branch pruning tool includes an electric pruning shear. A fixed blade is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the electric pruning shear. A movable blade is hinged to the upper surface of the electric pruning shear near the bottom of the fixed blade. A switch button is provided in the middle of one side of the electric pruning shear. A fixed sleeve shaft is fixedly mounted on the top of one end of the movable blade. A movable collar is movably mounted on the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft. A branch hook is welded to the middle of one side of the movable collar extending above the movable blade. Gears are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer surface of the movable collar. A fixing bolt is threaded through the movable collar and connected to the middle of one end of the fixed sleeve shaft. A sliding mechanism is also provided on the outer surface of the movable blade for adjusting the setting angle of the branch hook.
[0008] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes a fixing member, which is fixedly installed at the middle of one end of the movable blade. A limit screw is threadedly connected to the middle of one side of the fixing member, and a rack plate is rotatably installed on one side of the limit screw.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing circular plate is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the fixing bolt, and one end of the fixing circular plate abuts against the outer surface of the movable collar.
[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the rack plate is located near the outer surface of the gear, and the gear and the rack plate mesh with each other.
[0011] Preferably, a through hole is formed in the middle of one end of the movable collar, the outer diameter of the fixed sleeve shaft is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole, one side of the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft is located inside the through hole, and the fixed sleeve shaft and the movable collar are fitted together.
[0012] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] By fitting the movable collar onto the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft, one end of the fixing bolt is rotatably installed inside the fixed sleeve shaft, providing limiting support for the installed movable collar. Rotating the limiting screw pushes the rack plate to move along the outer surface of the gear, causing the gear to rotate and adjust the overall angle of the branch hook. Compared with existing technologies, this solution facilitates the hooking and limiting of azalea branches, improves the overall pruning effect of the movable blade on the branches, solves the problem of azalea branches slipping out of the movable blade when it is opened and closed, and enhances the overall efficiency of the electric pruning shears.

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0019] This application discloses a rhododendron branch trimmer. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3A rhododendron branch pruning tool includes an electric pruning shears 1. A fixed blade 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the electric pruning shears 1. A movable blade 3 is hinged to the upper surface of the electric pruning shears 1 near the bottom of the fixed blade 2. A switch button 4 is located in the middle of one side of the electric pruning shears 1. A fixed sleeve shaft 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of one end of the movable blade 3. A movable collar 6 is movably mounted on the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft 5. A through hole is formed in the middle of one end of the movable collar 6. The outer diameter of the fixed sleeve shaft 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole. One side of the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft 5 is located in the through hole. Inside the hole, the fixed sleeve shaft 5 and the movable sleeve ring 6 are fitted together. A hanging hook 7 is welded to the middle of one side of the outer surface of the movable sleeve ring 6, extending above the movable blade 3. Gears 8 are fixed to both ends of the outer surface of the movable sleeve ring 6. A fixing bolt 12 is threaded through the middle of one end of the fixed sleeve shaft 5 and passes through the movable sleeve ring 6. A fixing circular plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the fixing bolt 12. One end of the fixing circular plate 13 abuts against the outer surface of the movable sleeve ring 6. The outer surface of the movable blade 3 is also provided with a sliding mechanism for adjusting the setting angle of the hanging hook 7.
[0020] By fitting the movable collar 6 onto the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft 5, one end of the fixing bolt 12 is rotated and installed inside the fixed sleeve shaft 5, and the fixed circular plate 13 limits and blocks the movable collar 6, keeping the movable collar 6 inside the fixed sleeve shaft 5, thereby limiting and supporting the installed movable collar 6. The electric pruning shears 1 are held by hand and the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 are engaged at the pruning point on the outer surface of the azalea branch, so that the movable blade 3 rotates to prune the branch. At the same time, the branch hook 7 is hooked up the branch as the movable blade 3 rotates, preventing the branch from slipping out between the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3.
[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding mechanism includes a fixing member 9, which is fixedly installed at the middle of one end of the movable blade 3. A limit screw 10 is threadedly connected to the middle of one side of the fixing member 9. A rack plate 11 is rotatably installed on one side of the limit screw 10. The upper surface of the rack plate 11 is movable close to the outer surface of the gear 8, and the gear 8 and the rack plate 11 mesh with each other.
[0022] By rotating the limiting screw 10, which moves along the inside of the fixing member 9, the limiting screw 10 pushes the rack plate 11 to move along the outer surface of the gear 8, thereby driving the gear 8 and the movable collar 6 to rotate synchronously along the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft 5, thereby adjusting the overall angle of the hanging hook 7 on the outer surface of the movable blade 3.
[0023] The implementation principle of the azalea branch pruning device in this application embodiment is as follows: By fitting the movable collar 6 onto the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft 5, one end of the fixing bolt 12 is rotatably installed inside the fixed sleeve shaft 5, causing the fixed circular plate 13 to limit and block the movable collar 6, keeping the movable collar 6 inside the fixed sleeve shaft 5, thereby limiting and supporting the installed movable collar 6. At the same time, the limiting screw 10 is rotated to move along the inside of the fixing member 9, causing the limiting screw 10 to push the rack plate 11 to move along the outer surface of the gear 8, thereby driving the gear 8 and the movable collar 6 to rotate synchronously along the outer surface of the fixed sleeve shaft 5, thereby adjusting the branch hook 7. The overall angle of the outer surface of the movable blade 3 is adjusted so that the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 are engaged with the electric pruning shears 1 at the pruning point on the outer surface of the azalea branch. The movable blade 3 rotates to prune the branch, and at the same time, the branch hook 7 hooks the branch with the rotation of the movable blade 3, preventing the branch from slipping out between the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3. Compared with the existing technology, this solution has the effect of making it easier for the branch hook 7 to hook and limit the azalea branch, improving the overall pruning effect of the movable blade 3 on the branch, solving the problem of the azalea branch slipping out of the movable blade 3 when it is opened and closed, and improving the overall efficiency of the electric pruning shears 1.
