Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree support structure technology, specifically, to a fruit tree anti-lodging support structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the fruit tree planting industry, stable growth of fruit trees is a key factor in ensuring fruit yield and quality. However, during the growth process, fruit trees often experience lodging due to factors such as their own canopy shape, excessive fruit load, severe weather such as strong winds, heavy rains, and blizzards, as well as poor soil conditions. Lodging not only directly damages the root system and branches of fruit trees, affecting their normal growth and development, but also significantly reduces fruit yield and quality, causing serious economic losses to fruit farmers.
[0003] Currently, common measures to prevent fruit trees from falling over include simple wooden sticks and bamboo poles used by some fruit farmers. However, these supports have limited strength and are difficult to withstand strong external impacts. Furthermore, they are prone to rotting and damage after prolonged use, making it difficult to maintain their support effect for long.
[0004] Utility model patent CN208509755U discloses an adjustable anti-lodging support frame for fruit trees, relating to the field of landscaping engineering. This utility model comprises a fixed plate, a ring-shaped fixing frame, and a support rod. A support rod is hinged to the outer side of the fixed plate, and several fixed plates are arranged in a ring-shaped circumferential pattern. Several layers of ring-shaped fixing frames are interlocked between the fixed plates. The ring-shaped fixing frame includes a first half-clamp, a second half-clamp, and a movable plate. Connecting plates are fixed to both ends of the first half-clamp, and a ring-shaped groove is formed on the inner surface of the first half-clamp. Several rectangular through slots are symmetrically formed on the inner surfaces of both ends of the second half-clamp along the height direction. This utility model reduces damage to fruit trees by interlocking multiple ring-shaped fixing frames on the fixed plate, and can be adapted to fruit trees of different diameters by adjusting the first and second half-clamps. The structure is simple, ensures the normal growth of fruit trees, and improves the practicality of the adjustable anti-lodging support frame.
[0005] While this technical solution boasts advantages such as simple structure, ensuring normal fruit tree growth, and improving the practicality of adjustable anti-lodging support frames, most anti-lodging support structures for fruit trees also have some shortcomings in use. Firstly, most anti-lodging support poles are directly supported by the ground at the bottom, lacking corresponding fasteners, making them prone to loosening. Secondly, most support structures employ relatively complex fixing methods, such as multiple clamps, which require significant manpower and time during installation, increasing orchard management costs. Therefore, we propose an anti-lodging support structure for fruit trees. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support structure for preventing fruit trees from falling over, so as to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A lodging prevention support structure for fruit trees includes multiple inclined anti-lodging rods supporting the periphery of the fruit tree. The bottom of each inclined anti-lodging rod has a fixing base for securing it in the soil. The top of each inclined anti-lodging rod is hinged with a fruit tree support plate for abutting against the main branches of the fruit tree. A tightening fastener is fitted around the outside of each of the multiple fruit tree support plates. The tightening fastener is used to press and fix the multiple fruit tree support plates onto the fruit tree. The tightening fastener includes two symmetrical arc-shaped sleeves on the left and right sides, fitted onto corresponding parts of the fruit tree support plates. The corresponding end plates of the two arc-shaped sleeves are fixed together by long bolts and nuts threaded onto the long bolts.
[0009] Preferably, the lower half of the fruit tree support plate is hinged to the inclined anti-tipping rod, and the inclined anti-tipping rod is a solid structure.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the outer surface of the upper half of the fruit tree support plate, and the arc-shaped sleeve is fitted into the limiting groove.
[0011] This feature helps prevent the curved sleeve from sliding up and down and becoming loose.
[0012] Preferably, an anchor rod is inserted into the fixed base for fixation, and a force-bearing plate is fixedly installed at the top of the anchor rod.
[0013] Preferably, a fruit tree side protective pad is detachably connected to the inner side of the fruit tree support plate, and the fruit tree side protective pad rests against the main branches of the fruit tree;
[0014] Preferably, the inner side of the fruit tree support plate is provided with a plurality of inserts, and the rear side of the fruit tree side protective pad is provided with a plurality of annular grooves, wherein the inserts and the annular grooves are inserted into each other.
[0015] The above two settings can protect the fruit trees using the side protective pads, and at the same time, facilitate the loading, unloading, and replacement of the side protective pads.
[0016] Preferably, the inner surface of the arc-shaped sleeve is provided with an inner arc-shaped side surface, and a rubber pressing pad is provided on the inner arc-shaped side surface, and the rubber pressing pad is pressed against the fruit tree support plate.
[0017] This feature provides anti-slip support to the fruit tree support plate area.
[0018] Preferably, bolt holes are provided on the end plates of the arc-shaped jacket and the rubber compression pad. One end of the long bolt is fixedly installed with an end head. The long bolt passes through the bolt hole and is fitted with an elastic washer. The end head and the nut respectively abut against the sides of the two arc-shaped jackets.
[0019] This setting facilitates fixed installation.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] 1. This utility model uses a fixed base with anchor rods and a force-bearing plate to firmly fix the tilted anti-falling rod in the soil, achieving reliable fixation of the bottom of the support structure and avoiding loosening and displacement of the support structure. Compared with the traditional support method where the bottom is directly against the ground, it significantly enhances the stability of the anti-falling support structure and effectively resists the impact of external forces such as strong winds.
[0022] 2. This utility model uses a fastening and fixing component consisting of two arc-shaped sleeves, long bolts and nuts, in conjunction with the limiting groove on the fruit tree support plate, to achieve quick and firm fixing of the fruit tree. Compared with the complicated multiple clamp fixing method, it simplifies the installation process, greatly reduces the manpower and time required for installation, and lowers the orchard management cost. At the same time, the limiting groove can also prevent the arc-shaped sleeves from loosening and ensure the fixing effect.
[0023] 3. This utility model provides protection and anti-slip support for the main branches of the fruit tree by setting a detachable protective liner on the inner side of the fruit tree support plate and a rubber compression pad on the inner surface of the arc-shaped sleeve. The protective liner prevents the support structure from damaging the bark of the fruit tree, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the fruit tree. The rubber compression pad enhances the friction between the support structure and the fruit tree support plate. Both are easy to disassemble and replace, which improves the practicality and service life of the anti-falling support structure. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lodging prevention support structure for fruit trees, including multiple inclined anti-lodging rods 1 supporting the periphery of the fruit tree. The bottom of the inclined anti-lodging rod 1 is provided with a fixing base 15 for fixing in the soil. The inclined anti-lodging rod 1 is a solid structure. Anchor rods 16 are inserted into the fixing base 15 for fixing. The anchor rods 16 are inserted into the soil for fixing. A force-bearing plate 17 is fixedly installed at the top of the anchor rod 16, so that the inclined anti-lodging rod 1 is firmly fixed in the soil, which enhances the stability of the entire support structure and effectively prevents the inclined anti-lodging rod 1 from loosening. Compared with the traditional support method that directly touches the ground, it can better resist external forces such as strong winds and ensure that the fruit tree does not fall over.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a fruit tree support plate 10 is hinged to the top of the inclined anti-falling rod 1 for abutting against the main branches of the fruit tree. Multiple fruit tree support plates 10 are fitted with a tightening fastener 2. The tightening fastener 2 is used to press and fix the multiple fruit tree support plates 10 onto the fruit tree. The tightening fastener 2 includes two symmetrical arc-shaped clips 20 on the left and right sides, which are fitted onto the corresponding parts of the fruit tree support plates 10. The corresponding end plates of the two arc-shaped clips 20 are fixed together by long bolts 23 and nuts 24 threaded onto the long bolts 23, so as to fix the fruit tree support plates 10 onto the fruit tree, thereby achieving the effect of fixing and preventing loosening.
[0034] In this embodiment, the lower half of the fruit tree support plate 10 is hinged to the inclined anti-tipping rod 1. A limiting groove 11 is provided on the outer side of the upper half of the fruit tree support plate 10. An arc-shaped sleeve 20 is fitted onto the limiting groove 11. The upper and lower sides of the limiting groove 11 can limit the arc-shaped sleeve 20, which can prevent the arc-shaped sleeve 20 from sliding up and down and causing it to loosen.
[0035] Specifically, a fruit tree side protective pad 13 is detachably connected to the inner side of the fruit tree support plate 10. The fruit tree side protective pad 13 rests against the main branches of the fruit tree, which can protect the fruit tree and effectively prevent the fruit tree from being damaged by the support structure.

[0038] When using the anti-falling support structure for fruit trees of this utility model, the fixed base 15 is placed against a suitable part on the ground, and the fruit tree support plate 10 is also placed against the corresponding part on the fruit tree branch. Then, the anchor rod 16 is inserted through the fixed base 15 and inserted into the soil for fixation, so as to firmly fix the inclined anti-falling rod 1 to the periphery of the fruit tree.
[0039] Next, attach the fruit tree side protective pad 13 to the main branches of the fruit tree. If the pad needs to be replaced, it can be easily installed and removed by inserting the post 12 into the ring groove 14.
[0040] Subsequently, the two arc-shaped sleeves 20 are fitted onto the limiting grooves 11 of the fruit tree support plate 10, so that the rubber pressing pad 21 is in close contact with the fruit tree support plate 10, enhancing the anti-slip effect. Finally, the long bolt 23 is passed through the bolt holes 22 on the arc-shaped sleeves 20 and the rubber pressing pad 21, the elastic washer 25 is put on, and the nut 24 is screwed on. By tightening the nut 24, the arc-shaped sleeves 20 are used to clamp and fix the multiple fruit tree support plates 10 to the fruit tree, completing the installation of the entire anti-falling support structure and providing stable support for the fruit tree.
