Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Fruit trees refer to trees with edible fruits. They are a general term for perennial plants that provide edible fruits and seeds, as well as their rootstocks. Fruits themselves are rich in vitamins and have a very good taste, so they are also a food source.

[0003] Chinese patent CN202322473653.9 discloses a seedling support device for fruit tree planting. This utility model utilizes the cooperation between a base plate, a large gear, a rotating shaft, a small gear, a baffle, a support shaft, a drive wheel, and a switch knob. By rotating the switch knob, the drive wheel is driven, and through gear transmission, the position of the baffle is adjusted. This allows for flexible adjustment according to the thickness of the seedling. Furthermore, by incorporating a telescopic rod, a diagonal brace, a diagonal sleeve, and a locking pin, the height can be adjusted according to the growth and development of the seedling, making the device adaptable to different stages of seedling growth, saving costs, and benefiting tree growth and development. However, certain problems still exist. Although this support device can clamp the fruit tree by adjusting the position of the baffle and adapt to fruit trees of different thicknesses at different stages, the entire device is directly fitted onto the fruit tree and cannot be opened or closed. When the fruit tree grows taller, removing the device becomes inconvenient. Therefore, we provide a fruit tree support device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fruit tree support device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above:

[0005] Some existing fruit tree support devices are directly fitted onto the fruit tree as a single unit and cannot be opened or closed. As the fruit tree grows taller, it becomes inconvenient to remove the device if needed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fruit tree support device includes a first base plate, a second base plate rotatably connected to the outside of the first base plate, grooves formed inside both the first and second base plates, a slider slidably connected inside the grooves, a clamping plate fixedly connected to the top of the slider, a first top plate above the first base plate, and a second top plate rotatably connected to the outside of the first top plate and above the second base plate, inclined grooves formed inside both the first and second top plates, a sliding rod slidably connected inside the inclined grooves, and the sliding rod fixedly connected to the clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, both the first base plate and the second base plate have a limiting groove inside, and a limiting plate is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. One of the limiting plates is fixedly connected to the first top plate, and the other limiting plate is fixedly connected to the second top plate.

[0009] Preferably, both the limiting groove and the limiting plate are arc-shaped structures.

[0010] Preferably, both the limiting groove and the limiting plate have an L-shaped cross-section.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of both the first base plate and the second base plate are fixedly connected with insert rods.

[0012] Preferably, a first screw is movably connected inside the first base plate, and the first screw is threadedly connected to the second base plate; a second screw is movably connected inside the first top plate, and the second screw is threadedly connected to the second top plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The positions of the first base plate, second base plate, first top plate, and second top plate are adjusted so that the first top plate is above the first base plate and the second top plate is above the second base plate. At this point, the entire assembly can be opened and closed directly, allowing the user to install the device onto the fruit tree from one side, rather than simply slipping it over the tree. Even after the fruit tree has grown, the entire assembly can be removed from one side. After the assembly is slipped onto the fruit tree, the assembly is closed, and the first and second screws are tightened. Then, the first and second top plates are rotated, and the sliding rod is pressed against the inner wall of the inclined groove. The sliding rod then moves the clamping plates until the six clamping plates clamp the trunk of the fruit tree. After initially clamping the trunk, the insertion rod is inserted into the ground, and finally, the second screw is tightened again to support the fruit tree. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A fruit tree support device includes a first base plate 1, a second base plate 8 rotatably connected to the outside of the first base plate 1, grooves 2 are provided inside both the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8, and sliders 3 are slidably connected inside the grooves 2. The grooves 2 on the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8 can be assembled into a regular hexagon. There are a total of six sliders 3 in the grooves 2, which are symmetrically distributed. A clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliders 3. A first top plate 5 is provided above the first base plate 1, and a second top plate 9 is rotatably connected to the outside of the first top plate 5 and above the second base plate 8. Inclined grooves 6 are provided inside both the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9, and sliding rods 7 are slidably connected inside the inclined grooves 6. The sliding rods 7 are fixedly connected to the clamping plates 4. When the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 rotate, the sliding rods 7 are squeezed by the inner wall of the inclined grooves 6, causing the sliding rods 7 to drive the clamping plates 4 to move. The six clamping plates 4 simultaneously extend outward or retract inward, which can clamp the fruit tree on the one hand and adapt to fruit trees of different thicknesses on the other.

[0021] Furthermore, both the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8 have a limiting groove 10 inside. A limiting plate 11 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 10. One limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the first top plate 5, and the other limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the second top plate 9. The limiting groove 10 and the limiting plate 11 limit the distance between the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 and the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8.

[0022] Furthermore, both the limiting groove 10 and the limiting plate 11 are arc-shaped structures. The center of the limiting groove 10 and the limiting plate 11 is the same as the center of the first bottom plate 1 and the second bottom plate 8, ensuring the stability of the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 when they rotate, and preventing jamming.

[0023] Furthermore, both the limiting groove 10 and the limiting plate 11 have L-shaped cross-sections. The L-shaped cross-sections prevent the limiting plate 11 from detaching from the limiting groove 10, allowing the limiting plate 11 to slide back and forth within the limiting groove 10. When the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 are closed, the second screw 14 is tightened, and the limiting plate 11 clamps the inner wall of the limiting groove 10, thereby limiting and fixing the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 to the first bottom plate 1 and the second bottom plate 8.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8 are both fixedly connected with insert rods 12. There are two insert rods 12 at the bottom of the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8, for a total of four insert rods 12. After the insert rods 12 are inserted into the soil, they work with the clamping plate 4 to support the fruit trees.

[0025] Furthermore, a first screw 13 is movably connected inside the first base plate 1, and the first screw 13 is threadedly connected to the second base plate 8. Since the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8 can be opened and closed, the first screw 13 is used to connect and fix the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 8. A second screw 14 is movably connected inside the first top plate 5, and the second screw 14 is threadedly connected to the second top plate 9. Since the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 can be opened and closed, the second screw 14 is used to connect and fix the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9.

[0026] The steps for using this utility model are as follows: When using this fruit tree support device, adjust the positions of the first base plate 1, the second base plate 8, the first top plate 5, and the second top plate 9 so that the first top plate 5 is above the first base plate 1 and the second top plate 9 is above the second base plate 8. At this point, the entire device can be opened and closed directly, allowing the user to install the device onto the fruit tree from one side, rather than simply slipping it onto the tree. Even after the fruit tree has grown, the entire device can be removed from one side. After slipping the device onto the fruit tree, close the entire device and tighten the first screw 13 and the second screw 14. Then, rotate the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9. When the first top plate 5 and the second top plate 9 rotate, they will press the sliding rod 7 through the inner wall of the inclined groove 6. The sliding rod 7 will then drive the clamping plate 4 to move. At this time, all six clamping plates 4 move simultaneously until they clamp the fruit tree trunk. After initially clamping the fruit tree trunk, insert the insertion rod 12 into the ground. Finally, tighten the second screw 14 again to achieve support for the fruit tree.
