Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ancient tree support technology, and in particular relates to an ancient tree support frame. Background Technology

[0002] Ancient trees refer to trees that are over a hundred years old. Due to their long age, the trunks and branches of ancient trees may suffer from varying degrees of damage, decay, or aging, which reduces their support capacity. Therefore, support frames are needed to help ancient trees share their weight, especially for some ancient trees with long branches and large canopies. These frames can prevent them from falling over due to their own weight or external forces (such as strong winds or heavy rain), and enhance their stability in the natural environment.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN220630377U discloses a support frame for ancient trees, relating to the field of ancient tree protection. It includes support rods for supporting the branches and trunks of ancient trees, a fixed frame, and multiple columns. The fixed frame comprises two unit frames, which are close to each other to form the fixed frame. Multiple columns are evenly distributed and fixed to the two unit frames, supporting the fixed frame. The support rods include sleeves and extension rods. The sleeves are mounted on the fixed frame, and one end of the extension rod slides vertically into the sleeve at the end furthest from the fixed frame. The other end of the extension rod supports the branches and trunks of ancient trees. This application, by using two unit frames, facilitates the enclosure of ancient trees. The two unit frames are then spliced ​​together to ensure the stability of the entire support frame, improving the problem of poor stability in existing support frames. Furthermore, the use of multiple adjustable support rods to support the branches and trunks of ancient trees can accommodate branches and trunks of different heights.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following problems:

[0005] This patent has some drawbacks in its use. For example, the device can only support the branches of the ancient tree, not the trunk. This makes it difficult to fully balance the overall weight and external forces of the tree, causing unsupported parts to tilt or fall due to uneven stress. Therefore, it cannot provide comprehensive and stable support for the ancient tree. Furthermore, the support rods cannot be adjusted according to the tilt angle of the branches, which can damage the branches if supported for extended periods. In view of this, we propose an ancient tree support frame. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support frame for ancient trees to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a support frame for ancient trees, comprising:

[0008] Four bases are arranged in a ring. A support rod is rotatably installed on the inner side of each of the four bases. A sliding rod is fitted on the support rod. An arc plate is rotatably installed on the top of the sliding rod. The same clamp is fitted on the four arc plates. A sliding groove is opened on the top of each of the four bases. Several support rods are slidably installed in the sliding groove. A sliding rod is installed in the support rod. An arc plate is hinged to the top of the sliding rod.

[0009] A plurality of adjustment components are located on a plurality of slide bars II and are used to adjust the rotation of the corresponding arc-shaped plate II;

[0010] A fixing assembly is located on four bases and is used to fix four slide rods one to four support rods one respectively and to fix a plurality of slide rods two to a plurality of support rods two respectively.

[0011] In this technical solution, when it is necessary to support the ancient tree, the staff will surround the ancient tree with four bases. The staff will take the corresponding number of support rods 2 according to the number of branches of the ancient tree to be supported, and insert the corresponding number of support rods 2 into the sliding grooves on one of the bases. Then, the two adjacent bases will be fixed together. Then, the fixing components will be used to release the fixing of one pair of support rods 1. The staff will pull the sliding rods 1 up on the support rods 1 according to the actual height of the trunk. When the appropriate height is reached, the fixing components will be used to fix one of the sliding rods 1 to the support rods 1. Then, the arc plate 1 on one of the sliding rods 1 will be attached to the perimeter of the ancient tree trunk. The above operation will be repeated to arrange the remaining three support rods 1 and three arc plates 1. Then, the staff will put the clamps on the outer walls of the four arc plates 1 and fix the four arc plates 1 to the ancient tree trunk to ensure that the ancient tree trunk can be supported.

[0012] Subsequently, support rod two is slid along the groove to directly beneath the branch of the ancient tree that needs support. Then, the fixing component releases support rod two from the sliding rod two. Based on the actual height of the ancient tree branch, the staff pulls the sliding rod two upward within support rod two. At this time, the upward movement of sliding rod two causes the arc plate two to move upward until the rubber pad on the arc plate two contacts the ancient tree branch. Then, the fixing component fixes the sliding rod two back into support rod two. Subsequently, the tilt angle of the arc plate two is adjusted by the adjustment component until the arc plate two fits tightly against the ancient tree branch. The staff uses the above operation to support the remaining branches of the ancient tree, ensuring that the branches of the ancient tree can be supported from different angles and positions, ensuring that the ancient tree will not tilt or fall due to its own weight and external forces, greatly improving the stability of the ancient tree support.

[0013] In the above technical solution, further, several of the adjustment components include:

[0014] A plurality of rotating grooves are respectively opened on the top of a plurality of sliding rods 2. A sliding block is slidably installed in the rotating groove. A groove connected to the corresponding rotating groove is opened at the bottom of each of the plurality of arc plates 2. A connecting block is fixedly installed on the top of the groove. Two connecting rods are rotatably installed between the connecting block and the sliding block.

[0015] A threaded rod is rotatably mounted in a rotating groove. One end of the threaded rod passes through the sliding block and extends to the outside through one side of the rotating groove, and a handle is fixedly installed thereon.

[0016] In this technical solution, rotating the handle on the second sliding rod causes the threaded rod to rotate within the rotating groove. Under the action of the thread, the rotation of the threaded rod causes the sliding block to move. The movement of the sliding block causes the two connecting rods connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rods causes the connecting block and the second arc plate to rotate around the connection point between the second sliding rod and the second arc plate, causing one end of the second arc plate to move upward. The staff adjusts the tilt angle of the second arc plate according to the tilt of the ancient tree branches until the second arc plate and the ancient tree branches are closely fitted.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the sliding block is further connected to the threaded rod, and the sliding block, connecting block and threaded rod are all located between the two connecting rods.

[0018] In this technical solution, the rotation of the threaded rod under the action of the thread can drive the sliding block to move within the rotating groove.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the fixing component further includes:

[0020] A plurality of insert plates 2 are respectively inserted and installed on a plurality of support rods 2. A plurality of slots 2 are opened on one side of each of the plurality of slide rods 2. One end of the insert plate 2 extends through one side of the support rod 2 into one of the slots 2.

[0021] Four insert plates are respectively inserted and installed on four slide rods. Each of the four support rods has several slots. One end of each insert plate extends through one side of the slide rod into one of the slots.

[0022] In this technical solution, the insert plate 1 on the slide rod 1 is pulled out. At this time, one end of the insert plate 1 is away from the slot 1 on the support rod 1, thereby releasing the support rod 1 from fixing the slide rod 1. Then, according to the actual height of the tree trunk, the staff pulls the slide rod 1 up on the support rod 1. When the appropriate height is reached, the staff inserts the insert plate 1 back into the slide rod 1. At this time, one end of the insert plate 1 enters into the corresponding slot 1 on the support rod 1, ensuring that the support rod 1 is fixed in the slide rod 1.

[0023] Pull the second insert plate from the second support rod. At this time, one end of the second insert plate is away from one of the slots on the second slide rod, thus releasing the support rod from fixing the slide rod. Then, according to the actual height of the ancient tree branch, the staff pulls the slide rod upward within the second support rod. At this time, the upward movement of the slide rod causes the arc-shaped plate to move upward until the arc-shaped plate contacts the ancient tree branch. Then, insert the second insert plate back into the second support rod. At this time, one end of the second insert plate will enter the corresponding slot on the second slide rod, ensuring that the second slide rod is fixed within the second support rod.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the first insert plate is further engaged with the first support rod and the first slot, the first insert plate is engaged with the first slide rod and the first slot, the second slide rod is slidably connected to the second support rod, and the first support rod and the first slide rod are slidably connected.

[0025] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the first insert plate can slide on the first support rod and the first slot, the first insert plate can slide on the first slide rod and the first slot, the second slide rod can slide on the second support rod, and the first slide rod can slide on the first support rod.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the four bases are further connected by bolts, and ground nails are inserted and installed on the outer side of each of the four bases. The two ends of the clamp strap are fixed by bolts, and the clamp strap is located in the middle of the four arc-shaped plates.

[0027] In this technical solution, to ensure the stability of the four base structures, one end of the ground nail is aligned with the through hole on the base, and the top of the ground nail is gently tapped with a hammer to gradually pass through the hole on the base and into the ground, making it perpendicular to the ground, thus fixing the base to the ground and preventing displacement of the base during the support process; twisting the bolts on the clamp strap can easily adjust the tightness of the clamp strap, ensuring that ancient tree trunks of different thicknesses can be fixed.

[0028] In the above technical solution, rubber pads are further fixedly installed on the top of several of the arc-shaped plates II and on the inner sidewalls of the four arc-shaped plates I, and the four sliding grooves are connected to each other.

[0029] In this technical solution, the rubber pads on the second curved plate and the first curved plate are elastic, which can effectively protect the branches and trunk of the ancient tree and prevent damage when the second curved plate and the first curved plate support the branches and trunk of the ancient tree.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0031] 1. This ancient tree support frame, through the cooperation of support rod one, sliding rod one, arc plate one, clamp belt, support rod two, sliding rod two, and arc plate two, ensures that the branches and trunk of the ancient tree can be supported, ensuring that the ancient tree will not tilt or fall due to its own weight and external forces, thus greatly improving the stability of the ancient tree support.

[0032] 2. This ancient tree support frame, through the cooperation of grooves, rotating slots, sliding blocks, threaded rods, connecting blocks, and rubber pads, ensures that the tilt angle of the second arc plate can be adjusted according to the tilt degree of different ancient tree branches, so as to ensure that the ancient tree branches will not be damaged when supported for a long time. Secondly, the rubber pads on the second arc plate can better protect the ancient tree branches and avoid damage during support. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees, including:

[0049] Four bases 1 are arranged in a ring. Support rod 1 3 is rotatably installed on the inner side of each of the four bases 1. Slide rod 1 4 is sleeved on the support rod 1 3. Arc plate 1 5 is rotatably installed on the top of slide rod 1 4. The same clamp 6 is sleeved on the four arc plates 1 5. Slide groove 2 is opened on the top of each of the four bases 1. Several support rods 2 7 are slidably installed in the slide groove 2. Slide rod 2 8 is installed in the support rod 2 7. Arc plate 2 9 is hinged to the top of slide rod 2 8.

[0050] Several adjustment components are located on several slide bars 8 and are used to adjust the rotation of the corresponding arc plate 9;

[0051] The fixing assembly is located on four bases 1 and is used to fix four slide rods 4 to four support rods 3 respectively and to fix a number of slide rods 8 to a number of support rods 7 respectively.

[0052] When supporting the ancient tree, the staff surrounds it with four bases 1. They then take the corresponding number of support rods 2 7 based on the number of branches to be supported and insert them into the grooves 2 on one of the bases 1. Next, they fix two adjacent bases 1 together. Then, they release the fixing of one of the support rods 3 onto the sliding rod 4 using a fixing assembly. Based on the actual height of the trunk, the staff pulls the sliding rod 4 up on the support rod 3. When the appropriate height is reached, they fix one of the sliding rods 4 back onto the support rod 3 using the fixing assembly. Then, they align the curved plate 5 on one of the sliding rods 4 with the perimeter of the ancient tree trunk. This process is repeated to arrange the remaining three support rods 3 and three curved plates 5. Finally, the staff places clamps 6 on the outer walls of the four curved plates 5, fixing them to the ancient tree trunk to ensure proper support.

[0053] Subsequently, support rod 27 is slid along the slide groove 2 directly under the ancient tree branch that needs support. Then, the fixing component is used to release the fixing of support rod 27 to slide rod 28. According to the actual height of the ancient tree branch, the staff pulls slide rod 28 upward within support rod 27. At this time, the upward movement of slide rod 28 causes the arc plate 29 to move upward until the rubber pad on arc plate 29 contacts the ancient tree branch. Then, the fixing component is used to fix slide rod 28 within support rod 27. Subsequently, the tilt angle of arc plate 29 is adjusted by adjusting the component until arc plate 29 fits tightly against the ancient tree branch. The staff uses the above operation to support the remaining ancient tree branches, ensuring that the branches of the ancient tree can be supported from different angles and positions, ensuring that the ancient tree will not tilt or fall due to its own weight and external forces, greatly improving the stability of the ancient tree support.

[0054] Example 2:

[0055] This embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including several adjustment components:

[0056] A number of rotating grooves 19 are respectively opened on the top of a number of sliding rods 8. A sliding block 20 is slidably installed in the rotating groove 19. A number of arc plates 9 are all provided with grooves 18 that communicate with the corresponding rotating grooves 19 at their bottoms. A connecting block 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the groove 18. Two connecting rods 17 are rotatably installed between the connecting block 22 and the sliding block 20.

[0057] The threaded rod 21 is rotatably installed in the rotating groove 19. One end of the threaded rod 21 extends through the sliding block 20 and one side of the rotating groove 19 to the outside and is fixedly installed with a handle.

[0058] When the handle on the sliding rod 28 is rotated, the rotation of the handle causes the threaded rod 21 to rotate within the rotating groove 19. Under the action of the thread, the rotation of the threaded rod 21 causes the sliding block 20 to move. The movement of the sliding block 20 causes the two connecting rods 17 connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rods 17 causes the connecting block 22 and the arc plate 29 to rotate around the connection point between the sliding rod 28 and the arc plate 29, causing one end of the arc plate 29 to move upward. The staff adjusts the tilt angle of the arc plate 29 according to the tilt of the ancient tree branches until the arc plate 29 is in close contact with the ancient tree branches.

[0059] Example 3:

[0060] This embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the sliding block 20 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 21, and the sliding block 20, the connecting block 22 and the threaded rod 21 are all located between the two connecting rods 17.

[0061] Under the action of the thread, the rotation of the threaded rod 21 can drive the sliding block 20 to move within the rotating groove 19.

[0062] Example 4:

[0063] This embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including a fixing component:

[0064] Several insert plates 16 are respectively inserted and installed on several support rods 7. Several slots 15 are opened on one side of several sliding rods 8. One end of the insert plate 16 extends through one side of the support rod 7 into one of the slots 15.

[0065] Four insert plates 12 are respectively inserted and installed on four slide rods 4. Each of the four support rods 3 has several slots 11. One end of the insert plate 12 extends through one side of the slide rod 4 into one of the slots 11.

[0066] In this process, the insert plate 12 on the slide rod 4 is pulled out. At this time, one end of the insert plate 12 is away from the slot 11 on the support rod 3, thereby releasing the support rod 3 from fixing the slide rod 4. Then, according to the actual height of the tree trunk, the staff pulls the slide rod 4 up on the support rod 3. When the appropriate height is reached, the staff puts the insert plate 12 back into the slide rod 4. At this time, one end of the insert plate 12 enters into the corresponding slot 11 on the support rod 3, ensuring that the support rod 3 is fixed in the slide rod 4.

[0067] Pull the insert plate 216 out of the support rod 27. At this time, one end of the insert plate 216 is away from one of the slots 215 on the slide rod 28, thereby releasing the support rod 27 from fixing the slide rod 28. Then, according to the actual height of the ancient tree branch, the staff pulls the slide rod 28 upward within the support rod 27. At this time, the upward movement of the slide rod 28 causes the arc plate 29 to move upward until the arc plate 29 contacts the ancient tree branch. Then, insert the insert plate 216 back into the support rod 27. At this time, one end of the insert plate 216 will enter the corresponding slot 215 on the slide rod 28, ensuring that the slide rod 28 is fixed in the support rod 27.

[0068] Example 5:

[0069] This embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the insert plate 12 is inserted and engaged with the support rod 3 and the slot 11; the insert plate 12 is inserted and engaged with the slide rod 4 and the slot 11; the slide rod 8 is slidably connected with the support rod 7; and the support rod 3 and the slide rod 4 are slidably connected.

[0070] Specifically, it is ensured that the insert plate 12 can slide on the support rod 3 and the slot 11, that the insert plate 12 can slide on the slide rod 4 and the slot 11, that the slide rod 28 can slide on the support rod 27, and that the slide rod 4 can slide on the support rod 3.

[0071] Example 6:

[0072] This embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: four bases 1 are fixedly connected by bolts, and ground nails 10 are inserted and installed on the outer side of each of the four bases 1. The two ends of the clamp strap 6 are fixed by bolts, and the clamp strap 6 is located in the middle of the four arc-shaped plates 5.

[0073] To ensure the stability of the four base 1 structures, one end of the ground nail 10 is aligned with the through hole on the base 1, and the top of the ground nail 10 is gently tapped with a hammer so that one end of the ground nail 10 gradually passes through the hole on the base 1 and enters the ground, making it perpendicular to the ground, thus fixing the base 1 to the ground and preventing the base 1 from shifting during the support process; twisting the bolts on the clamp strap 6 can easily adjust the tightness of the clamp strap 6, ensuring that ancient tree trunks of different thicknesses can be fixed.

[0074] It is worth noting that the height of the ground stake 10 is 40cm-50cm, ensuring that the ground stake 10 can be inserted into the ground to a sufficient depth, thereby providing more stable support for the base 1.

[0075] Example 7:

[0076] This embodiment provides a support frame for ancient trees. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: rubber pads are fixedly installed on the top of several arc-shaped plates 9 and on the inner sidewalls of four arc-shaped plates 5, and the four sliding grooves 2 are connected.

[0077] Among them, the rubber pads on the second curved plate 9 and the first curved plate 5 are elastic, which can effectively protect the branches and trunks of the ancient tree and prevent damage to the branches and trunks of the ancient tree when the second curved plate 9 and the first curved plate 5 support them.

[0078] Working principle: When it is necessary to support the ancient tree, the staff will set up four bases 1 around the ancient tree. The staff will take the corresponding number of support rods 2 7 according to the number of branches of the ancient tree to be supported, and insert the corresponding number of support rods 2 7 into the groove 2 on one of the bases 1. Then, the two adjacent bases 1 will be fixed together with bolts. One end of the ground nail 10 will be aligned with the through hole on the base 1. The top of the ground nail 10 will be gently tapped with a hammer so that one end of the ground nail 10 will gradually pass through the hole on the base and enter the ground, making it perpendicular to the ground, thus fixing the base 1 to the ground and preventing the base 1 from shifting during the support process.

[0079] Next, the insert plate 12 on one of the sliding rods 4 is pulled out. At this time, one end of the insert plate 12 is away from one of the slots 11 on the support rod 3, thus releasing the support rod 3 from fixing the sliding rod 4. Then, according to the actual height of the tree trunk, the staff pulls the sliding rod 4 up on the support rod 3. When the appropriate height is reached, the staff reinserts the insert plate 12 onto the sliding rod 4. At this time, one end of the insert plate 12 enters the corresponding slot 11 on the support rod 3. Then, one of the sliding rods 4 is... The rubber pads on the curved plate 5 are placed against the perimeter of the ancient tree trunk. Because the rubber pads on the curved plate 5 are elastic, they can effectively protect the ancient tree trunk and prevent damage when the curved plate 5 supports the ancient tree trunk. The above operation is repeated to arrange the remaining three support rods 3 and three curved plates 5. Then, the staff put the clamps 6 on the outer walls of the four curved plates 5, and then fix the four curved plates 5 to the ancient tree trunk with the bolts on the clamps 6 to ensure that the ancient tree trunk can be supported.

[0080] Then, slide support rod 27 along the slide groove 2 directly under the ancient tree branch that needs support. Next, pull the insert plate 216 out of support rod 27. At this point, one end of insert plate 216 moves away from one of the slots 215 on slide rod 28, thus releasing support rod 27 from fixing slide rod 28. Then, according to the actual height of the ancient tree branch, pull slide rod 28 upwards within support rod 27. This upward movement of slide rod 28 causes arc plate 29 to move upwards until the rubber pad on arc plate 29 contacts the ancient tree branch. Then, insert plate 216 back into support rod 27. At this point, one end of insert plate 216 will enter its corresponding slot 215 on slide rod 28. Then, rotate the handle on slide rod 28. This rotation of the handle causes threaded rod 21 to rotate within rotating groove 19. Under the action of the thread, threaded rod 21 rotates. The sliding block 20 is moved, which in turn causes the two connecting rods 17 connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rods 17 causes the connecting block 22 and the arc plate 9 to rotate around the connection point between the sliding rod 28 and the arc plate 9, causing one end of the arc plate 9 to move upward. The staff adjusts the tilt angle of the arc plate 9 according to the tilt of the ancient tree branches until the rubber pad on the arc plate 9 is in close contact with the ancient tree branches. Because the rubber pad on the arc plate 9 is elastic, it can protect the ancient tree branches well and prevent the arc plate 9 from damaging the ancient tree branches when supporting them. The staff supports the remaining ancient tree branches according to the above operation, ensuring that the branches of the ancient tree can be supported from different angles and positions, ensuring that the ancient tree will not tilt or fall due to its own weight and external forces, and greatly improving the stability of the ancient tree support.
