Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree sap collection technology, and more specifically to a tree sap collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Tree sap has high economic, nutritional, and medicinal value, with birch being a common choice for sap extraction. Extracting tree sap is a common horticultural technique. Select a healthy tree, choose a suitable location on the trunk, drill a small hole in the bark with a drill or screwdriver, and then collect the flowing sap using a collection device.

[0003] ZL202420773319.7 discloses a tree sap collection system, comprising: a hanging bag for hanging at a designated location on a tree, the hanging bag having at least a receiving space and an opening on one side; a sealed collection bag for placing in the receiving space of the hanging bag, the interior of the sealed collection bag forming a collection space for collecting tree sap; and a collection seat disposed on the surface of the sealed collection bag and sealed to the surface of the sealed collection bag, the collection seat having a channel formed thereon, one end of the channel extending to the surface of the sealed collection bag, and the other end of the channel forming an insertion opening on the collection seat, the end of the collection seat with the insertion opening corresponding to the opening so that the end of the collection seat with the insertion opening can protrude from the opening.

[0004] The above-mentioned collection device has the following defects: (1) The collection needle and the collection bag are connected by a long guide tube. It often takes several hours to collect a bag of tree sap. It is no exaggeration to say that the collection of tree sap is a drip rate rather than a flow rate. Therefore, the long guide tube is not conducive to the smooth dripping of tree sap into the collection bag. (2) The collection needle and the collection bag are connected by a long guide tube. The tree sap often needs to stay outdoors for a long time after it is collected. Therefore, it is very likely to be accidentally tripped or damaged by the trunk or tail of some small animals, resulting in insufficient stability of the structural connection, increasing the uncertainty of collection, and easily wasting tree sap. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a tree sap collection device with stable structure, strong support, good sealing, and high collection efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a tree sap collection device, comprising a collection bag, characterized in that the collection bag comprises a food film A and a food film B, the food film A and the food film B are adhered face to face and then sealed by a sealing tape AB through a circumferential frame to form a sealed bag structure, a drainage notch is provided at the center of one side of the sealing tape AB, a guide bag is provided in the drainage notch, the guide bag comprises a food film C and a food film D, the food film C and the food film D are sealed face to face to form a guide channel, an extension film A is provided extending upward on the side of the food film A with the drainage notch, an extension film B is provided extending upward on the side of the food film B with the drainage notch, the free edges of the extension film A and the extension film B are sealed along their length by a sealing tape CD to form an ear loop channel.

[0007] Preferably, the food film C extends upwards with an extension film C, which is integrally formed with the extension film A. Similarly, the food film D extends upwards with an extension film D, which is integrally formed with the extension film B. The extension film C being integrally formed with the extension film A and the extension film D being integrally formed with the extension film B not only strengthens the bag body at the insertion end of the discharge pipe but also effectively guides the discharge pipe, allowing it to smoothly insert into the flow channel.

[0008] Preferably, food film A and food film C are separated, and food film B and food film D are separated. The food films extend a certain length within the collection bag, primarily to maximize the length of the flow channel, thereby further ensuring the seal between the flow channel and the discharge pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the ear loop channel has a pair of symmetrically arranged tear grooves in the middle, one tear groove being located on the extension film A and the other tear groove being located on the extension film B. The ear loop channel must be torn along the middle to allow the support tubes on both sides to be inserted. Without tear grooves or similar notches, it would be difficult for consumers to tear it open smoothly or to tear it into a regular shape.

[0010] A tree sap collection device includes a collection tube, characterized in that the collection tube includes a base, on which an upwardly inclined feed pipe and a downwardly arranged discharge pipe are provided, the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are connected, and a pair of horizontally extending support pipes are also provided on the base.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the discharge pipe is provided with a beak. The beak effectively guides the discharge pipe, allowing it to smoothly insert into the guide channel.

[0012] Preferably, each support tube is fitted with an extension tube that is detachably connected to it. To improve load-bearing strength and prevent deformation of the membrane in the ear loop channel, the support tube is lengthened. However, simply extending the support tube is not sufficient, as it would be difficult to insert the support tube into the ear loop channel during loading. Therefore, an external extension tube is necessary. This extension tube must not only be detachable from the support tube but also enter from both sides before being fitted onto the support tube. The above-mentioned preferred solution is one option; another option is to use a rope to pass through the ear loop channel for overall lifting.

[0013] Beneficial Effects: This utility model's collection bag only requires attention to sealing at the drainage opening to prevent sap evaporation. The use of a bag-within-a-bag design reduces the drainage opening to a guide channel. This guide channel fits perfectly with the discharge pipe of the collection tube, further ensuring sealing performance and improving the reliability of the connection between the collection bag and the collection tube. Furthermore, the collection tube itself is compact, almost entirely contained within the collection bag, significantly shortening the distance the sap needs to travel to enter the bag and effectively improving collection efficiency. The ear-like channels allow the support tube of the collection tube to support the weight of the entire bag and the sap after insertion. To prevent deformation of the ear-like channels, their length is extended as much as possible, distributing and distributing the load-bearing force, thus improving both support strength and structural stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features and objectives of this utility model easier to understand, the following describes this utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a tree sap collection device includes a collection bag 2 and a collection tube 1.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the collection bag 2 includes a food film A4 and a food film B5. After the food films A4 and B5 are adhered face to face, they are sealed together by a sealing tape AB6 through a circumferential frame to form a sealed bag structure. A drainage notch 7 is provided at the center of one side of the sealing tape AB6. A guide bag 8 is provided in the drainage notch 7. The guide bag 8 includes a food film C9 and a food film D10. After the food films C9 and D10 are sealed face to face, a guide channel 11 is formed. Food films A4 and C9 are separated, and food films B5 and D10 are separated.

[0021] Food film A4 has an extension film A12 extending upward on the side with the drainage notch, and food film B5 has an extension film B13 extending upward on the side with the drainage notch. The free edges of extension film A12 and extension film B13 are sealed along their length by a sealing tape CD14 to form an ear loop channel.

[0022] Food film C9 extends upward to form an extension film C15, which is laminated onto extension film A12 to form an integral structure. Food film D10 extends upward to form an extension film D16, which is laminated onto extension film B13 to form an integral structure.

[0023] A pair of symmetrically arranged tear grooves 17 are provided in the middle of the ear loop channel, one tear groove 17 is located on the extension membrane A12, and the other tear groove is located on the extension membrane B13.

[0024] The collection tube 1 includes a base 18, on which an upwardly inclined feed pipe 19 and a downwardly inclined discharge pipe 20 are arranged. The feed pipe 19 and the discharge pipe 20 are connected. A pair of horizontally extending support pipes 21 are also provided on the base 18. A beak 22 is provided at the lower end of the discharge pipe 20.

[0025] Each support tube 21 is fitted with an extension tube 3 that is detachably connected to it.

[0026] Application: This novel collection bag only requires attention to sealing at the drainage opening to prevent sap evaporation. A bag-within-a-bag design minimizes the drainage opening to a guide channel. This guide channel fits perfectly with the discharge pipe of the collection tube, further ensuring a tight seal and improving the reliability of the connection between the collection bag and the collection tube. Furthermore, the collection tube itself is compact, almost entirely contained within the collection bag, significantly shortening the distance the sap must travel to enter the bag and effectively improving collection efficiency. The ear-shaped channel allows the support tube of the collection tube to support the weight of the entire bag and the sap after insertion. To prevent deformation of the ear-shaped channel, its length is extended as much as possible, distributing and distributing the load-bearing force, thus enhancing both support and structural stability.
