Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jujube sapling support and wild rabbit protection technology, specifically a dual-purpose protective net for jujube sapling support and wild rabbit protection. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of establishing large-scale jujube orchards in Xinjiang, sour jujube kernels are usually sown directly in rows. After emergence, the seedlings are cultivated for 1-2 years until the base of the jujube seedlings reaches a certain thickness (generally not less than 0.8cm). The upper part is then cut off, leaving about 2cm above the ground. The scion is then grafted using a cleft grafting method. This method has the advantages of rapid growth of the grafted scion variety, neat orchard establishment, and high efficiency. However, after the jujube shoots emerge from the buds, the tender branches are relatively soft and often fall over or do not grow upright, which is not conducive to later operations such as trunk setting and tree shaping. Moreover, because the grafting point is low, the tender bark is often eaten by wild rabbits before the old bark grows out, which affects the growth of young trees and even risks death.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a dual-purpose protective net for supporting jujube saplings and preventing wild rabbits. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dual-purpose protective net for jujube saplings, supporting their growth and preventing them from being gnawed by wild rabbits. It has the advantages of assisting the saplings to grow upright, preventing them from falling over, and preventing them from being eaten by wild rabbits and livestock, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual-purpose protective net for supporting jujube saplings and preventing wild rabbits, including support rods, the number of which is two sets, and connecting arms are fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of each set. An arc-shaped mounting seat is fixedly installed on the other side of the connecting arm. The arc-shaped mounting seat has two sets of arc-shaped locking grooves through it. Galvanized steel wire mesh is inserted into the inside of the arc-shaped locking grooves on both sides. The galvanized steel wire mesh has several diamond-shaped mesh holes.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting seat is welded to the top of the outer arc surface of the support rod, the connecting seat has a through-hole connecting groove, a connecting screw is fitted inside the connecting groove, a central shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting screw, and another set of connecting screws is fixedly connected to the other side of the central shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the size of the diamond-shaped mesh is 0.25cm*0.5cm.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the support rod is fixedly connected with a sharp end.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the galvanized steel wire mesh is in contact with the ground.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the connecting screw is threaded with a fastening nut, and the inner side of the fastening nut is in contact with the outer side of the connecting seat.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This protective netting for jujube saplings serves two purposes: supporting the upright growth of the sapling's trunk, preventing lodging, and protecting it from being eaten by rabbits and livestock. It achieves both functions in one operation, significantly reducing manual intervention, lowering production costs, reducing the mortality rate of saplings from rabbits and livestock, increasing the marketability and survival rate of saplings, and ultimately improving economic benefits.

[0017] 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.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] In the process of establishing large-scale orchards for Xinjiang jujubes, the sour jujube kernels are usually sown directly in rows. After the seedlings emerge, they are cultivated for 1-2 years. When the base of the sour jujube seedlings reaches a certain thickness (generally not less than 0.8cm), the upper part is cut off, leaving about 2cm above the ground. The scions are then grafted using the cleft grafting method. This method has the advantages of rapid growth of the grafted scion variety, neat orchard establishment, and high efficiency.

[0020] In the early stages of growth, jujube saplings have underdeveloped root systems, shallow roots, and slender, weak trunks, making them prone to tilting or falling due to wind, rain, or uneven growth. When saplings tilt or fall, the direction and distribution of root growth are affected, potentially leading to uneven root development. Rabbits, especially during the relatively scarce winter months, will gnaw on the bark of jujube saplings. Bark is to trees what skin is to humans, serving as a vital channel for transporting nutrients and water. Extensive bark erosion blocks nutrient transport, hindering sapling growth and, in severe cases, even causing death. Rabbits, being active and restless, may collide with or rub against saplings while roaming the orchard, causing broken branches and trunk damage. Since saplings are inherently fragile, these injuries can negatively impact their normal growth, reducing their survival rate and future fruit-bearing capacity.

[0021] Current techniques for supporting jujube seedlings involve inserting a sturdy stake, such as a wooden pole, bamboo pole, or steel pipe, next to the young jujube tree. The stake should be slightly higher than the young tree and inserted deep enough into the soil to ensure stability. Then, the trunk of the young tree is tied to the stake with soft ropes or strips of cloth, ensuring the tying is not too tight to avoid damaging the trunk. Soil is then mounded around the base of the young tree to form a small mound. This mound increases the soil thickness and weight at the base of the tree, stabilizing it, while also helping to retain soil moisture, increase soil temperature, and promote root growth. The mound height is generally around 20-30 cm.

[0022] Current rabbit prevention measures:

[0023] Set up barriers: Construct a fence around the jujube orchard, using materials such as wire mesh, plastic mesh, or brambles. The fence should be 1-1.5 meters high, with the lower part buried 20-30 centimeters in the soil to prevent rabbits from burrowing in. The mesh size should be moderate to prevent rabbits from squeezing through. Alternatively, wrap a 20-30 centimeter wide strip of plastic sheeting, cardboard, or metal around the base of the young tree trunks to prevent rabbits from gnawing on the bark.

[0024] Repellents: Place repellent agents, such as those containing sulfur or camphor, around the jujube orchard and near the saplings. The odor emitted by these agents will make wild rabbits uncomfortable and keep them away from the orchard. Planting plants with pungent odors, such as mint and mugwort, around the orchard or between rows of saplings can also have a repellent effect.

[0025] Deploying deterrents: Place objects that make sounds or reflect light within the jujube orchard, such as wind chimes, ribbons, and reflective mirrors hanging from tree branches. When the wind blows or sunlight shines on them, they will make sounds or reflect light, deterring wild rabbits. You can also place fake predator models, such as wolves and foxes, around the orchard to instill fear in the rabbits and keep them away.

[0026] Manual deterrence: During peak rabbit activity times, such as early morning, evening, or night, personnel should patrol the jujube orchard and promptly drive away any rabbits spotted. Long-term manual deterrence will instill fear in the rabbits towards the orchard, reducing their visits.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 A dual-purpose protective net for young jujube trees, used for supporting seedlings and preventing rabbit infestation, includes two sets of support rods 1. Connecting arms 2 are fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of each set 3. An arc-shaped mounting base 201 is fixedly installed on the other side of each connecting arm 2. The arc-shaped mounting base 201 has two sets of arc-shaped locking grooves 202. Galvanized steel wire mesh 203 is inserted into the arc-shaped locking grooves 202 on both sides. The galvanized steel wire mesh 203 has several diamond-shaped mesh holes 204. The outer arc surface of the support rod 1... A connecting seat 102 is welded to the top of the jujube tree. A connecting groove 106 is formed through the connecting seat 102. A connecting screw 104 is fitted inside the connecting groove 106. A central shaft 103 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting screw 104. Another set of connecting screws 104 is fixedly connected to the other side of the central shaft 103. One set of support rods 1 is inserted into the side of the jujube sapling through the sharp end 101 at the bottom. Then, the other set of support rods 1 is inserted into the jujube sapling through the sharp end 101 at the bottom. On the other side of the sapling, align the connecting slots 106 of the connecting seats 102 of the two sets of support rods 1 in the same position. Insert the two sets of galvanized steel wire mesh 203 into the arc-shaped locking slots 202 of the arc-shaped mounting base 201. The two sets of galvanized steel wire mesh 203 fit snugly against the jujube sapling, assisting the sapling's main trunk to grow upright and preventing it from falling over. Then, the central shaft 103, together with the connecting screws 104 on both sides, passes through the connecting slots 106 and is threaded and limited by the fastening nuts 105 to complete the installation. The spacing between the two sets of support rods 1 can be adjusted to adapt to the growth status of the jujube sapling. This solution has the functions of assisting the sapling's main trunk to grow upright, preventing it from falling over, and preventing it from being eaten by wild rabbits and livestock. It has two functions in one piece and can achieve dual functions in one operation, which can significantly reduce the number of manual operations, which is conducive to reducing production costs, reducing the mortality rate of saplings eaten by wild rabbits and livestock, improving the marketability and survival rate of saplings, and thus improving economic benefits.

[0028] The diamond mesh 204 has a size of 0.25cm*0.5cm. Experiments have shown that the size of the diamond mesh 204 can effectively prevent wild rabbits and livestock from gnawing on it, as the teeth of wild rabbits and livestock cannot pass through the diamond mesh 204.

[0029] The bottom of the support rod 1 is fixedly connected to a sharp end 101, which allows for quick drilling operations and reduces the difficulty of drilling.

[0030] Among them, the bottom of the galvanized steel wire mesh 203 is in contact with the ground. The galvanized steel wire mesh 203 is woven from galvanized steel wire, which can ensure that the protective mesh has sufficient strength to resist the collision of wild rabbits, and also has good flexibility, making it easy to process and install.

[0031] The connecting screw 104 is threaded with a fastening nut 105, and the inner side of the fastening nut 105 is in contact with the outer side of the connecting seat 102.

[0032] The working principle is as follows: First, one set of support rods 1 is inserted into the side of the jujube sapling through the sharp end 101 at the bottom. Then, the other set of support rods 1 is inserted into the other side of the jujube sapling through the sharp end 101 at the bottom. The connecting grooves 106 of the connecting seats 102 for fixing the two sets of support rods 1 are aligned. The two sets of galvanized steel wire mesh 203 are inserted into the arc-shaped locking grooves 202 of the arc-shaped mounting seat 201. The two sets of galvanized steel wire mesh 203 fit the jujube sapling, helping the main trunk of the seedling to grow upright and preventing it from falling over. Then, the central shaft 103, together with the connecting screws 104 on both sides, passes through the connecting grooves 106 and is threaded and limited by the fastening nuts 105 to complete the installation. The distance between the two sets of support rods 1 can be adjusted to adapt to the growth status of the jujube sapling.
