Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling straightening technology, and in particular to a seedling straightening device for forest cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Forests are vital terrestrial ecosystems, natural climate regulators, and habitats for many terrestrial organisms. They regulate the natural cycle of air and water, influence climate change, protect soil from wind and rain, and mitigate the harm caused by environmental pollution. In recent years, with increasing emphasis on environmental protection, the cultivation of seedlings has been widely adopted to accelerate the ecological restoration of damaged forests. To prevent newly planted seedlings from falling over and to help them stabilize their root systems, it is necessary to straighten them after planting.
[0003] Common seedling straightening devices require the device to be fixed to the ground first, and then straighten the seedling by supporting it to maintain its vertical growth. Because the contact point between the device and the ground is relatively singular, the terrain at this single point is easily affected by natural environmental factors, which can cause the device's shape to change. As a result, it is difficult to meet the seedling straightening and support requirements, leading to poor seedling straightening effect and the seedling easily becoming crooked during growth. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a seedling straightening device for forest cultivation, in order to solve the problem that common seedling straightening devices mentioned in the background art require the device to be fixed to the ground first, and then the seedling is supported to maintain its vertical growth. Because the contact point between the device and the ground is relatively singular, the terrain environment at a single point is easily affected by natural environmental factors, which will cause the shape of the device itself to change. Therefore, it is difficult to meet its needs for supporting the seedlings, resulting in poor seedling straightening effect and easy tilting during growth.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a seedling straightening device for forest cultivation, comprising two horizontal plates placed in parallel, and two vertical plates placed in parallel on the two horizontal plates. The horizontal plates have grooves adapted to the vertical plates, and a first bolt is inserted into each vertical plate, with the vertical plate threadedly connected to the first bolt. The horizontal plates have threaded holes adapted to the first bolt. The first bolt is used to fix the horizontal and vertical plates. Reinforcing nails are slidably inserted into both the horizontal and vertical plates. A height adjustment assembly is installed on the upper surface of the vertical plates, and two clamping assemblies are installed on the height adjustment assembly. The height adjustment assembly is used to adjust the height and spacing of the two clamping assemblies, and the clamping assemblies are used for straightening and supporting the seedlings.
[0006] Furthermore, the two horizontal plates and two vertical plates are arranged in a "well" shape.
[0007] Furthermore, both the horizontal and vertical plates are provided with slots that are compatible with the reinforcing nails.
[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment assembly includes a longitudinal plate with a plurality of fixing holes arranged linearly from top to bottom. Two sleeves are slidably fitted onto the outside of the longitudinal plate, and two clamping assemblies are respectively installed on the two sleeves. A second bolt is inserted into the sleeve, and the second bolt can fix the longitudinal plate to the sleeve after passing through the corresponding fixing hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the sleeve is provided with a through hole for the second bolt to pass through.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a carrier cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the sleeve. A third bolt is inserted into the tail of the carrier cylinder, and the carrier cylinder is threadedly connected to the third bolt. One end of the third bolt located inside the carrier cylinder is rotatably connected to a telescopic rod via a bearing. The telescopic rod slides against the inner wall of the carrier cylinder, and two fixed rods are fixed on the telescopic rod. A column is fixed to the other end of the fixed rod, and the column is located outside the carrier cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, rubber sleeves are fixedly fitted onto the exterior of both the upper and lower ends of the column.
[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, two horizontal plates support two vertical plates, and the horizontal and vertical plates are fixed by a first bolt. The two horizontal plates have a large contact area with the ground. Therefore, under the support of the two horizontal plates, changes in the terrain at a single point on the ground are not enough to cause the device to deflect at an angle. Thus, the seedlings straightened by this device can be effectively supported, thereby growing upright better. Both the horizontal and vertical plates are fixed to the ground with reinforcing nails, which can ensure the stability of the device's position and thus better support and straighten the seedlings.
[0014] In this invention, the positions of the two sleeves fitted on the longitudinal plate are moved vertically to adjust the height of the two clamping components, so that the two clamping components on the same longitudinal plate are set one above the other. In this way, the four clamping components can simultaneously straighten and support the seedlings at their upper and lower positions, resulting in a better straightening effect.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1-5 The above-displayed seedling straightening device for forest cultivation includes two horizontal plates 1 placed in parallel, and two vertical plates 2 placed in parallel on the two horizontal plates 1. The horizontal plates 1 have grooves that fit the vertical plates 2. The vertical plates 2 are threadedly connected to the first bolts 3. The horizontal plates 1 have threaded holes that fit the first bolts 3. The first bolts 3 are used to fix the horizontal plates 1 and the vertical plates 2. The two horizontal plates 1 and the two vertical plates 2 are arranged in a "well" shape, which makes the connection between the two more stable. Reinforcing nails 4 are slidably inserted into both the horizontal plates 1 and the vertical plates 2, and slots that fit the reinforcing nails 4 are opened on both the horizontal plates 1 and the vertical plates 2. A height adjustment component is installed on the upper surface of the vertical plates 2. Two clamping components are installed on the height adjustment component. The height adjustment component is used to adjust the height and spacing of the two clamping components. The clamping components are used for straightening and supporting the seedlings.
[0024] Two horizontal plates 1 support two vertical plates 2, and the horizontal plates 1 and vertical plates 2 are fixed by the first bolt 3. The two horizontal plates 1 have a large contact area with the ground. Therefore, under the support of the two horizontal plates 1, the change in the terrain at a single point on the ground is not enough to cause the device to deflect at an angle. Thus, the seedlings straightened by the device can be effectively supported, thereby growing upright better. Both the horizontal plates 1 and the vertical plates 2 are fixed to the ground with the help of reinforcing nails 4, which can ensure the stability of the device's position, thereby better supporting and straightening the seedlings.
[0025] The height adjustment component includes a longitudinal plate 5, which has multiple fixing holes 6. Two sleeves 7 are slidably connected to the outside of the longitudinal plate 5. Two clamping components are respectively installed on the two sleeves 7. A second bolt 8 is inserted into the sleeve 7, and a through hole is provided on the sleeve 7 for the second bolt 8 to pass through. After the second bolt 8 passes through the corresponding fixing hole 6, the longitudinal plate 5 and the sleeve 7 can be fixed. The multiple fixing holes 6 are arranged linearly from top to bottom, so that the sleeve 7 can correspond to the fixing hole 6 at the corresponding height when sliding along the longitudinal plate 5 in the longitudinal direction.
[0026] By moving the positions of the two sleeves 7 fitted on the longitudinal plate 5 longitudinally, the height of the two clamping components is adjusted so that the two clamping components on the same longitudinal plate 5 are set one above the other. In this way, the four clamping components can simultaneously straighten and support the seedlings from top to bottom, making the straightening effect of the seedlings better. After passing the second bolt 8 through the through hole and the corresponding fixing hole 6 on the sleeve 7, it can help fix the sleeve 7 to the longitudinal plate 5 and ensure the stability of the clamping components during use.
[0027] The clamping assembly includes a carrier cylinder 9, which is fixedly mounted on the sleeve 7. A third bolt 10 is inserted into the tail of the carrier cylinder 9 and the carrier cylinder 9 is threadedly connected to the third bolt 10. One end of the third bolt 10 located inside the carrier cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to a telescopic rod 11 through a bearing. The telescopic rod 11 slides against the inner wall of the carrier cylinder 9, and two fixing rods 12 are fixed on the telescopic rod 11. The other end of the fixing rod 12 is fixed to a column 13, which is located outside the carrier cylinder 9. Rubber sleeves 14 are fixedly fitted on the outer sides of the upper and lower ends of the column 13.
[0028] By turning the third bolt 10 with the handle, the telescopic rod 11 is pushed to slide in the carrier cylinder 9, thereby adjusting the extension length of the telescopic rod 11 so that the four uprights 13 on the two clamping components at the same height can move closer to the seedling, thus achieving upright support for the seedling. The rubber sleeve 14 can better support the seedling by deforming itself in conjunction with the uprights 13.
[0029] Working principle of this utility model:
[0030] After the staff planted the seedlings, they cleaned the ground around the seedlings. They used a shovel to level the ground where the two horizontal boards 1 would be placed, so that the two horizontal boards 1 could be laid flat on the ground. At this time, the two horizontal boards 1 were on both sides of the seedlings and placed parallel to each other. They took out the two vertical boards 2 and put them into the grooves on the horizontal boards 1. They took out the first bolt 3 and used a wrench to screw it onto the horizontal boards 1 and the vertical boards 2, so that the first bolt 3 fixed the horizontal boards 1 and the vertical boards 2. They took out the reinforcing nail 4, inserted it into the slot, and used a hammer to strike the reinforcing nail 4, so that the reinforcing nail 4 fixed the horizontal boards 1 and the vertical boards 2 to the ground.
[0031] Move the two sleeves 7 on the longitudinal plate 5 so that the lower sleeve 7 is at the bottom of the seedling trunk and the upper sleeve 7 is at the middle of the seedling trunk. Take out the second bolt 8 and pass it through the through hole on the sleeve 7 and the corresponding fixing hole 6 on the longitudinal plate 5. Use the second bolt 8 to fix the longitudinal plate 5 and the sleeve 7, so that the height of the clamping component on the sleeve 7 is locked. Then, the staff uses a wrench to turn the third bolt 10, so that the third bolt 10 pushes the telescopic rod 11 to extend continuously from the carrier cylinder 9. The two columns 13 on the telescopic rod 11 move closer to the seedling trunk. The two clamping components at the same horizontal height can support and straighten the seedling. The four clamping components support the upper and lower positions of the seedling respectively, so that the seedling can grow vertically better.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
