Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ancient tree protection technology, specifically relating to a root protection device for transplanted ancient trees. Background Technology
[0002] Ancient and famous trees, having undergone long historical changes, have become natural and cultural heritage with significant scientific, cultural, and conservation value, serving as important data for the study of paleonatural history and tree physiology. However, after hundreds or even thousands of years of weathering, the growth of these ancient trees has weakened, and their numbers have gradually decreased. Simultaneously, the rise of urban development has forced the relocation of some ancient trees from their original sites, resulting in varying degrees of damage during the transplantation process.
[0003] In existing technologies, the root protection devices used during the transplantation of ancient trees mostly require the use of a crane to lift the ancient tree and place its roots into the device for protection. During the lifting process, straw ropes and bamboo strips are used to wrap the roots to prevent damage to the root ball. However, during the lifting process, the crane's ropes and boom can easily rub against the trunk, causing damage to the bark and impairing the tree's health after transplantation. At the same time, wrapping the roots has a significant impact on the moisture retention and aeration performance of the roots, posing a risk of root rot. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a root protection device for transplanting ancient trees.
[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A root protection device for transplanting ancient trees includes a protective shell, a top cover, a water supply mechanism, a hanging ring, and a connecting lock. The protective shell is formed by splicing together multiple fan-shaped cylinders. The top cover is a fan-shaped plate corresponding to the protective shell and is installed inside the upper part of the protective shell by a pin on the edge of the top cover. The water supply mechanism is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the protective shell. The hanging ring is installed on the top cover. The connecting lock is installed at the joints between the protective shells and at the joints between the protective shell and the top cover.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer bottom of the protective shell is provided with annular reinforcing ribs, and ventilation holes are provided on the upper side wall of the protective shell.
[0008] Furthermore, a trunk protection tube is provided in the center of the top cover.
[0009] Furthermore, the water replenishment mechanism includes a water tank, a water pipe, a pressure pump, and a nozzle. The water tank is an arc-shaped water tank that is installed close to the outer surface of the protective shell. The water pipe connects the water tank to the pressure pump, which is installed outside the protective shell. The nozzle is installed on the protective shell and extends into the protective shell.
[0010] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a distributed protection device. Before hoisting the ancient tree, the protective shell and the top cover are wrapped around the root ball, so that the root ball is surrounded by the protection device. The protection device is then hoisted, and the ancient tree is moved. This can effectively avoid the damage caused by directly hoisting the ancient tree. At the same time, it avoids the use of straw ropes or other materials to wrap the root ball of the ancient tree, allowing the roots of the ancient tree to breathe and retain moisture, thus increasing the survival rate of the ancient tree after transplanting.

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] See Figure 1-4 A root protection device for transplanting ancient trees includes a protective shell 1, a top cover 2, a water supply mechanism 3, a lifting ring 4, and a connecting lock 5. The protective shell 1 is composed of multiple fan-shaped cylindrical pieces spliced together to form a protective structure surrounding the root ball of the ancient tree, preventing the root ball from scattering during hoisting and transportation, and reducing damage to the roots. The top cover 2 corresponds to the protective shell 1 and is installed inside the upper part of the protective shell 1 via a pin 21, forming a closed protective space to further fix the root ball and prevent it from loosening during hoisting. The water supply mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the protective shell 1 to provide water to the roots of the ancient tree during hoisting and transportation, preventing the roots from drying out and improving the survival rate after transplanting. The lifting ring 4 is installed above the top cover 2 to connect hoisting equipment, enabling the hoisting and transportation of the entire protective device and the ancient tree. The connecting lock 5 is installed at the joints between the protective shells 1 and at the joints between the protective shell 1 and the top cover 2, ensuring that the protective shell 1 and the top cover 2 are tightly connected to form a stable whole and prevent them from falling apart during hoisting.
[0018] See Figure 1-4 The protective shell 1 is formed by splicing together multiple fan-shaped cylindrical pieces. The upper cover 2 is a fan-shaped plate corresponding to the protective shell 1 and is installed inside the upper part of the protective shell 1 via pins 21 on the edge of the upper cover 2. The water replenishment mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the protective shell 1. The hanging ring 4 is installed on the upper cover 2. The connecting lock 5 is installed at the joints between the protective shells 1 and at the joints between the protective shell 1 and the upper cover 2. The protective shell 1 is formed by splicing together multiple fan-shaped cylindrical pieces, which facilitates assembly and disassembly according to the shape and size of the ancient tree roots, providing a flexible protection solution. The upper cover 2 is a fan-shaped plate corresponding to the protective shell 1 and is installed inside the upper part of the protective shell 1 via pins 21 on the edge of the upper cover 2. The protective shell 1 forms a closed protective space to ensure the stability of the soil ball during hoisting; the pins 21 on the edge of the top cover 2 are used to fix the top cover 2 inside the protective shell 1 to ensure that the top cover 2 will not shift during hoisting; the water supply mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the protective shell 1 to facilitate continuous water supply to the roots of the ancient tree and prevent the roots from drying out; the lifting ring 4 is installed above the top cover 2 to provide a connection point for the hoisting equipment, which facilitates the hoisting and transportation of the entire device; the connecting lock 5 ensures that the joints between the protective shells 1 and the joints between the protective shell 1 and the top cover 2 are tightly connected to form a stable whole.
[0019] See Figure 1-4 The protective shell 1 has an annular reinforcing rib 11 on the outer side of its bottom. The annular reinforcing rib 11 enhances the structural strength of the bottom of the protective shell 1, prevents deformation during hoisting and transportation, and ensures the protection of the soil ball. The protective shell 1 has a ventilation hole 12 on the upper side wall. The ventilation hole ensures air circulation inside the protective shell 1, prevents excessive internal humidity from causing root hypoxia, and promotes root respiration.
[0020] See Figure 1-4 The upper cover 2 has a trunk protection cylinder 22 in the center; the trunk protection cylinder 22 is used to protect the trunk of the ancient tree and prevent the trunk from being mechanically damaged during hoisting and transportation.
[0021] See Figure 1-4 The water replenishment mechanism 3 includes a water tank 31, a water pipe 32, a pressure pump 33, and a nozzle 34.

The water pipe 32 connects the water tank 31 to the pressure pump 33, which is installed outside the protective shell 1. The nozzle 34 is installed on the protective shell 1 and extends into the protective shell 1. The water tank 31 stores water and provides a water source for the water replenishment mechanism. The water pipe 32 connects the water tank 31 and the pressure pump 33, delivering water to the nozzle 34. The pressure pump 33 provides pressure to the nozzle 34, ensuring that water can be sprayed evenly onto the soil ball. The nozzle 34 extends into the protective shell 1, ensuring that water can be sprayed evenly onto all parts of the soil ball.
[0022] According to the above embodiments, the working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] Before hoisting, multiple fan-shaped protective shells 1 are spliced together to form a cylinder that surrounds the root ball of the ancient tree. The joints are secured using connecting locks 5 to ensure the structural stability of the protective device. Then, the fan-shaped top cover 2 is installed inside the protective shell 1 via pins 21, forming a sealed space to further stabilize the roots of the ancient tree. The annular reinforcing ribs 11 at the bottom of the protective shell 1 enhance its strength, preventing deformation due to pressure from the ancient tree during hoisting and transportation. The trunk protection cylinder 22 in the center of the top cover 2 covers the trunk, preventing it from being subjected to pressure. Mechanical damage; the ventilation holes on the side wall of the protective shell 1 ensure internal air circulation and prevent root hypoxia; the arc-shaped water tank 31 of the water supply mechanism 3 is closely attached to the outer wall of the protective shell 1 and is connected to the pressure pump 33 through the water pipe 32. The pressure pump 33 drives the nozzle 34 to spray water evenly onto the soil ball to keep the roots of the ancient tree moist; the lifting ring 4 facilitates the connection of lifting equipment to achieve stable lifting and transportation; after transplanting to the new location, the connecting lock 5 is released, and the top cover 2 and the protective shell 1 are removed in sequence to complete the protective transplanting of the ancient tree.
