Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape planting technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable landscape planting trough structure. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping projects, the healthy growth of trees is of great significance to both the landscape effect and ecological function. Especially in urban parks or roadside greening, how to provide a stable and suitable growing environment for trees within limited space is a key challenge in actual construction and maintenance.

[0003] Current common planting methods mostly use standardized planting troughs with fixed structural dimensions, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to the actual growth status of different tree species or individual trees' roots and trunks. As trees grow year by year and the diameter of their root collars or trunks thickens, the planting troughs may exert mechanical pressure on them, affecting root expansion and tree stability, and even causing problems such as growth restriction, localized diseases, or tree toppling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable planting trough structure for landscaping. This structure can automatically adjust the width of the planting trough according to the gradual thickening of the tree roots or trunk. It also features a stable overall structure and reliable installation, and is suitable for planting trees of different sizes.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable garden planting trough structure includes multiple connectors, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the planting trough. Each connector includes a connector rod and a pull rod. The connector rod has multiple arched abutment plates on its side near the center of the planting trough. The top of the abutment plate is fixedly connected to the connector rod, and the bottom of the abutment plate abuts against the connector rod and is movably disposed therebetween. The arched portion of the abutment plate is positioned near the ground.

[0007] The pull rod is located on the side of the plug rod away from the center of the planting trough, and its bottom is provided with multiple inserts;

[0008] The plug rod is provided with a fixing lug;

[0009] Cable ties are threaded through the fixing ears on each of the connectors and are used to secure each connector rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the plug rod is bent outwards.

[0011] Furthermore, the pull rod has a folding section in the middle.

[0012] Furthermore, the arched portions of the multiple abutment plates vertically arranged on each of the plug rods are arranged from top to bottom away from the center of the planting trough.

[0013] Furthermore, the plug rod is provided with multiple connecting slots.

[0014] Furthermore, the middle part of the plug rod is connected by an annular connecting cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, a striking part is fixedly provided on the pull rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the plug rod is provided in a pointed conical shape.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model uses multiple connectors spaced circumferentially to form a ring-shaped planting trough structure. Each connector is secured to a fixing ear with a cable tie to form an overall fixed structure, achieving stable installation and rapid assembly. A significant advantage of this structure is that the number of connectors can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the actual size of the tree, thereby adjusting the diameter of the ring-shaped planting trough to accommodate trees with different diameters at breast height (DBH) or root diameters, improving the versatility and adaptability of the device. Simultaneously, the design of the abutment plate—fixed at the top and movable at the bottom—not only limits the tree trunk or root collar to prevent tipping but also allows it to gradually deform outwards as the tree grows, achieving "self-adaptive adjustment" of the planting trough width. This avoids mechanical pressure on the tree, enhancing its growth freedom and health.

[0019] Furthermore, the arched part of the connecting plate is positioned close to the ground, which not only facilitates support of the tree trunk and disperses lateral forces, but also prevents damage caused by direct friction between the plate and the ground or roots. The tie rod is positioned on the side away from the tree and, together with multiple inserts, is inserted into the soil, effectively enhancing the overall stability of each connector during use and preventing displacement or loosening of the device due to wind, external forces, or loose soil.

[0020] Furthermore, the grafting device can be removed later to allow the tree to grow naturally, avoiding the adverse effects of long-term structural wrapping. As trees grow year by year, the diameter of their root collar or trunk continues to thicken. If the external planting trough structure remains fixed for a long time, it can easily exert mechanical pressure on the tree, thereby restricting the natural expansion of the root system and affecting the stability of the tree and the efficiency of nutrient absorption.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0027] The following is for reference Figures 1-3 As shown in the illustration, and further explained with reference to a specific embodiment, this embodiment provides an adjustable garden planting trough structure, including multiple connectors 1. The multiple connectors 1 are spaced apart along the circumference of the planting trough and are fixed together by cable ties 3 to form a planting trough structure surrounding the root collar or trunk of a tree. It should be noted that the number of cable ties 3 can be selected according to specific needs.

[0028] Each connector 1 comprises two parts: a connector rod 11 and a tie rod 12. The tie rod 12 is positioned on the side of the connector rod 11 away from the center of the planting trough, allowing for stable support through the insertion of the insert plate 121 into the soil. The connector rod 11, as the load-bearing component directly in contact with the plant root collar or trunk, is preferably made of high-strength engineering plastics (such as reinforced polypropylene or polycarbonate) or lightweight metal materials (such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel). These materials possess excellent corrosion resistance, anti-aging properties, and moderate elasticity, enabling them to be buried for extended periods in moist soils with varying pH levels without easily deforming or breaking, making them particularly suitable for outdoor landscaping environments. Furthermore, their surfaces can be textured with anti-slip material or coated with a UV-resistant coating to enhance friction with the soil and improve anti-aging capabilities. The tie rod 12, as an auxiliary fixing and force-transferring component, primarily bears the lateral insertion force and assists in resisting loosening of the planting trough structure. It is preferably made of impact-resistant plastics (such as ABS or HDPE) or tough alloy steel. Ideally, the connector rod 11 and tie rod 12 should be made of the same material for ease of production and manufacturing.

[0029] The insertion rod 11 has multiple arched abutment plates 2 arranged vertically along its central side. In this embodiment, each insertion rod 11 has two abutment plates 2. Preferably, the top ends of these abutment plates 2 are welded and fixed to the insertion rod 11, while the bottom ends are movably abutting against the insertion rod 11. This allows the abutment plates 2 to open outwards according to changes in diameter during tree growth, thus automatically adapting to changes in the size of the tree roots or trunk. The arched portions of the abutment plates 2 are positioned close to the ground, and their vertical arrangement forms contact support for different height sections. This ensures that the upper abutment plates 2 preferentially contact the trunk, and the lower abutment plates 2 fit more closely to the root collar, improving the stability of the covering and the adaptability to growth.

[0030] It is important to emphasize that the abutment plate 2 must be structurally strong enough to provide reliable support and restraint for the root collar and trunk of the tree. Since the abutment plate 2 directly prevents the tree from tipping over, buffers external impacts, and accommodates radial expansion during tree growth, insufficient rigidity or toughness can easily lead to bending, breakage, or detachment from the insertion rod 11 under long-term stress, affecting the stability of the entire planting trough. To achieve a balance between structural safety and adaptability, the abutment plate 2 is preferably made of high-strength composite plastics, reinforced nylon, or thin steel sheets with moderate elasticity. These materials not only possess good compressive strength and resilience but also allow for moderate deformation as the trunk thickens annually, thus avoiding mechanical pressure on the plant.

[0031] Furthermore, to improve the ease of insertion and driving stability, the top of the insertion rod 11 is preferably designed with an outward bending structure, which facilitates manual gripping and downward pressing for insertion. At the same time, its bottom has a pointed conical structure, which facilitates direct insertion into the soil, reduces resistance, and improves construction efficiency.

[0032] To improve the interlocking force and vertical resistance of the connector 1 to the soil, the middle part of the connector 11 is preferably fixed by welding through an annular connecting cylinder 113. This not only enhances the overall rigidity of the connector 11 but also increases its friction coefficient with the soil, preventing the connector 1 from shifting vertically due to external forces or root expansion. In other embodiments, the outer surface of the annular connecting cylinder 113 is preferably provided with protruding ribs, rough textures, or barbed structures to further enhance friction after being buried in the soil, improving its embedding ability in the soil. Especially when encountering external forces such as root expansion and growth, it can effectively suppress the upward or downward displacement of the connector 1, maintaining the structural stability of the entire planting trough.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in terms of the structure of the tie rod 12, a folding part 122 is provided in the middle, which can be naturally compressed as the trunk or root collar of the tree gradually thickens, driving the plug rod 11 to move outward, thereby automatically adjusting the width of the overall annular groove structure with the growth of the tree, avoiding damage caused by compressing the tree. The bottom of the tie rod 12 is provided with multiple inserts 121 for insertion into the ground for enhanced positioning, and a striking part 123 can be provided on its upper part for easy hammering insertion during construction.

[0034] In addition, the plug rod 11 has multiple connecting slots 112 on its body. These slots not only reduce the structural weight and material cost, but also play a role in ventilation and air exchange, making it particularly suitable for soil environments where the roots are prone to water accumulation or have poor air permeability, which helps the tree grow healthily.

[0035] All connectors 1 in the entire device are connected and secured by cable ties 3 through the fixing ears 111. This not only maintains the reliability of the connection, but also makes it easy to flexibly adjust the number of connectors 1 according to the planting density and size of the trees, thereby improving adaptability and on-site construction efficiency.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
