[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ancient tree protection technology, and in particular to an ancient tree trunk protection device with pest control function. Background Technology
[0002] Protecting the trunks of ancient trees is crucial for ensuring their healthy growth and preserving their historical value. Trees with hollow trunks or uneven centers of gravity should be reinforced to prevent bending and toppling due to wind and rain. For leaning trunks or trees with dead branches, supports can be constructed to prevent them from falling. Cracked trunks can be reinforced with stainless steel plates or bolts to enhance stability. Ancient tree trunks provide habitats for numerous plants and animals; protecting them helps maintain biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Furthermore, ancient tree trunks carry rich historical information and cultural value, serving as witnesses to historical changes. Protecting tree trunks contributes to the preservation and transmission of human cultural heritage.
[0003] For ancient trees with leaning trunks and dead branches, it is necessary to support and prevent them from tilting due to thunderstorms and strong winds, which could cause casualties and property damage. Currently, the main method for supporting ancient trees with leaning trunks and dead branches is to build steel and cable supports on-site, conduct surveying and welding, and purchase different amounts of materials depending on the thickness of the tree. This process consumes a lot of manpower and resources, which increases the cost of protection and reduces the scope of application. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tree trunk protection device with pest control function, which aims to improve the protection of ancient tree trunks in the existing technology. The existing technology often adopts on-site construction of steel and cable supports, surveying and welding. This process requires a lot of manpower and material resources, resulting in increased protection costs and a narrower scope of application.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a tree trunk protection device for ancient trees with pest control function, comprising a rotating ring one, a sliding groove on the inner wall of the rotating ring one, multiple slots fixedly formed near the edge of the top of the rotating ring one, a rotating shaft one rotatably connected to the rear side of the rotating ring one, a rotating ring two rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft one, an extension ring fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating ring two, a limiting guide plate fixedly connected to the top of the extension ring, a through hole on the inner wall of the limiting guide plate, a pin slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole, multiple rotating rods rotatably connected to the bottom of both the rotating ring one and the rotating ring two, a sliding rod slidably connected to the inner wall of each rotating rod, and an insect-removing mechanism fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of both the rotating ring one and the rotating ring two, the insect-removing mechanism being used to disinfect pests on the ancient tree.

A limit plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the guide rod. A drainage groove is opened in the middle of the inner wall of rotating ring one and rotating ring two. Multiple drip heads are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drainage groove.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] A dust plug is threaded onto the inner wall of the liquid storage tank near the edge, and a rubber sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dust plug.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The outer wall of the float is attached to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank, and the multiple drip heads are all fixedly connected at the same horizontal height.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] A nameplate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring II, and multiple fixing screws are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the nameplate.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. In this utility model, by pulling out the pin and then rotating the first and second rotating rings along the first rotating shaft, the expansion ring can be taken out along the slide groove, and the device can be fitted onto the outer wall of the ancient tree. Then, the expansion ring is inserted into the slide groove until the inner walls of the first and second rotating rings are in contact with the outer wall of the ancient tree. Finally, the pin is inserted into the through hole and then through the slot to limit the expansion ring.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a tree trunk protection device with pest control function, comprising a rotating ring 1, with a groove 8 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 1 for limiting and protecting the tree trunk; multiple slots 9 fixedly formed near the edge of the top of the rotating ring 1; a rotating shaft 4 rotatably connected to the rear side of the rotating ring 1; a rotating ring 5 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4 for supporting the rotation between the rotating ring 5 and the rotating ring 1; an extension ring 3 fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating ring 5; and a limiting guide plate 12 fixedly connected to the top of the extension ring 3; the rotating ring 5 and the rotating ring 1... All are used to protect the outer wall of the tree trunk. The inner wall of the limiting guide plate 12 has a through hole 11. The inner wall of the through hole 11 is slidably connected to a pin 10. The pin 10 is used to insert into the through hole 11 and the slot 9 to limit the mechanism. The bottom of the rotating ring 1 and the rotating ring 2 are rotatably connected to multiple rotating rods 6. The inner wall of the rotating rod 6 is slidably connected to a sliding rod 7. The rotating rod 6 is used to rotate to adapt to different ancient tree trunks. The top surface of the rotating ring 1 and the rotating ring 2 are fixedly connected to an insect removal mechanism 2. The insect removal mechanism 2 is used to disinfect pests on the ancient tree. The sliding rod 7 can slide along the inner wall of the rotating rod 6, thereby extending the mechanism.
[0033] Specifically, the rotating shaft 4 provides the foundation for the subsequent installation and rotation of the rotating ring 5, ensuring that the device can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the ancient tree trunk during installation and use. The main function of the slot 9 is to provide positioning and fixing points for the auxiliary components and connectors to be installed later, so that the various components of the entire device can be assembled into a whole, enhancing the stability and reliability of the device. The rotating ring 5 and the rotating ring 1 achieve relative rotation through the rotating shaft 4, so that the entire protective device can adapt to the bending and irregular shape of different parts of the ancient tree trunk, thereby better fitting the trunk surface and providing all-round protection for the ancient tree. The addition of the extension ring 3 further expands the coverage of the protective device and increases the diameter of the ancient tree that can be protected by the rotating ring 5 and the rotating ring 1.
[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4 The insect control mechanism 2 includes a liquid storage tank 206. The bottom of the liquid storage tank 206 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring 1 and the rotating ring 2 5. The liquid storage tank 206 is used to store insecticide. A guide rod 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 206. A float 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide rod 204. The float 205 is used to float up and down with the liquid level. A limiting plate 203 is fixedly connected to the top end of the guide rod 204. A drain groove 201 is opened in the middle of the inner wall of the rotating ring 1 and the rotating ring 2 5. The limiting plate 203 is used to limit the position of the guide rod 204. Multiple drip heads 202 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drain groove 201. The drip heads 202 are used to drip insecticide onto the tree trunk.
[0035] Specifically, when the insecticide is consumed and the liquid level drops, the float 205 also drops, causing the guide rod 204 to slide downwards along the inner wall of the storage tank 206. Conversely, when insecticide is added and the liquid level rises, the float 205 rises, pushing the guide rod 204 upwards, thus reflecting the changes in the insecticide level in the storage tank 206. The drip head 202 can reduce the evaporation and loss of insecticide and prolong the duration of its effect.
[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 A dust plug 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 206 near the edge. A rubber sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dust plug 14. The dust plug 14 is used to seal the liquid inlet of the liquid storage tank 206. A nameplate 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 25. Multiple fixing screws 21 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the nameplate 20. The fixing screws 21 are used to fix the nameplate 20. The outer wall of the float 205 is in contact with the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 206. Multiple drip heads 202 are fixedly connected at the same horizontal height. The nameplate 20 is used to help users understand the relevant information of the device.
[0037] Specifically, the dust plug 14 can effectively prevent external dust, impurities and moisture from entering the liquid storage tank 206, avoiding contamination of the pesticide and affecting its efficacy. The rubber sleeve 15 is wrapped around the outer wall of the dust plug 14. When the dust plug 14 is screwed into the liquid inlet, the rubber sleeve 15 will fit against the surface of the tank around the liquid inlet, filling the tiny gaps in the threaded connection and preventing any possible leakage.
[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 5 A rubber pad 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pin 10. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding rod 7. The rubber pad 13 is used to buffer the structure in contact with the pin 10. A washer 19 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 17. The inner wall of the washer 19 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the mounting screw 16. The washer 19 can increase the contact area between the structure in contact with the bottom of the mounting screw 16. A mounting plate 18 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 17. Multiple mounting screws 16 are threadedly connected to the four corners of the top of the mounting plate 18. The mounting screws 16 are used to install the mounting plate 18.
[0039] Specifically, the rubber pad 13 can also increase the friction between the pin 10 and the socket, enhance the stability of the connection. Even if the device is subjected to a certain external force, the elastic deformation of the rubber pad 13 can keep the pin 10 and the socket in close contact, prevent the pin 10 from loosening and falling off accidentally, and ensure that the device is always in a safe and reliable state. The gasket 19 can effectively disperse the compressive stress applied by the mounting screw 16, reduce the damage caused by local stress concentration to the contact structure, and also improve the stability and reliability of the connection.
[0040] Working principle: When the device needs to be installed on ancient trees of different thicknesses, first pull the pin 10 out of the through hole 11 so that it can be pulled out from the inner wall of the slot 9 at the same time. Then, rotate the rotating ring 5 along the rotating shaft 1 4 so that the expansion ring 3 drives the limiting guide plate 12 to be pulled out along the slide groove 8, thereby opening the device. After the device is placed on the outer wall of the ancient tree, insert the expansion ring 3 into the slide groove 8 until the inner walls of the rotating ring 1 1 and the rotating ring 2 5 are in contact with the outer wall of the ancient tree. Then, insert the pin 10 into the through hole 11 and through it into the slot 9 to limit the position of the expansion ring 3. Then, pull the sliding rod 7 along the rotating rod 6 so that it can adapt to the installation height, thereby protecting and supporting the ancient tree.
[0041] When the pest infestation is severe, first open the dust plug 14 to pour the insecticide into the inner wall of the storage tank 206 and the bottom of the float 205. Then, due to gravity, the liquid in the storage tank 206 gradually flows into the drip head 202. The nozzle of the drip head 202 is small and has high damping, so the liquid can only drip into the drainage trough 201. This allows the liquid to flow outward along the gap between the liquid and the tree trunk, and flow along the trunk to the roots, thus killing insects over a wide area. As the liquid in the storage tank 206 decreases, the float 205 will move the guide rod 204 and the limiting plate 203 down synchronously due to buoyancy, making it easy for the user to observe the amount of liquid used. At the same time, when the flow rate needs to be adjusted, the limiting plate 203 can be manually pressed down to make the float 205 squeeze the liquid in the storage tank 206, so that it can be pressurized and sprayed out quickly from the drip head 202.
[0042] 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.
