Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ancient tree transplantation technology, and in particular to a soil ball packaging device for transplanting ancient and famous trees. Background Technology
[0002] Ancient tree transplantation is a complex engineering technique aimed at moving old trees from one place to another. This typically involves multiple steps, including digging up the tree, treating the roots, transportation, and replanting in the new location. During transplantation, special care must be taken to protect the tree's root system and branches to ensure its survival and continued growth in the new environment. Furthermore, post-transplantation care is crucial, including watering, fertilizing, and pruning, to ensure the ancient tree adapts to its new environment as quickly as possible and recovers its vitality.
[0003] Because the roots of ancient trees are large, in order to ensure the survival rate of ancient trees after transplantation, the size of the soil ball wrapping the roots is generally no less than four meters. After the soil ball wrapping the roots is separated from the ground, it is wrapped with netting and packing straps and directly hoisted onto the vehicle for transportation. In this way, the hoisting ropes are prone to damaging the soil ball wrapping the roots, causing the soil ball to break and affecting the survival rate of ancient trees after transplantation. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes a soil ball packaging device for transplanting ancient and famous trees in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] The packaging device for transplanting root balls of ancient and famous trees includes a support plate and a frame made of metal plate. There are two support plates, which are fixed together by bolts. A frame is detachably connected and fixed around the support plate by bolts. Adjacent frame pieces are fixed together by bolts. The two support plates and several frame pieces form a metal frame that supports the root ball of the ancient tree.
[0007] Furthermore, the support plate includes a base plate, one side of which is formed with a semi-circular notch, and a first connecting frame is welded to the edge of the base plate. The first connecting frame is made of angle steel, and the edge of the first connecting frame is formed with several mounting holes to facilitate the installation of the bolts. At least one set of hooks is welded to both ends of the base plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the frame includes a side plate, and a second connecting frame is welded to the edge of the side plate. The second connecting frame is made of angle steel, and the edge of the second connecting frame is formed with a plurality of mounting holes to facilitate the installation of the bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, both the support plate and the frame are rectangular, the length of the support plate is an integer multiple of the length of the short side of the frame, and the length of the long side of the base plate is twice the length of the short side.
[0010] Furthermore, the base plate is made of steel plate with a thickness of not less than five millimeters, and the side plate is made of steel plate with a thickness of not less than two millimeters.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by using a metal support plate and frame to form a frame that supports the root ball of the ancient tree, the frame can be directly hoisted during hoisting, avoiding contact between the hoisting rope and the root ball, thus protecting the integrity of the root ball and improving the survival rate of transplanted ancient trees; the support plate and frame can be freely assembled, and the size after splicing is adjustable, which is convenient for supporting and hoisting ancient trees with root balls of different sizes.

[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] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the packaging device for transplanting root balls of ancient and famous trees includes a support plate 1 and a frame 2 made of metal plates. There are two support plates 1, which are fixed together by bolts 3 to support the bottom of the root ball. A frame 2 is detachably connected and fixed around the support plate 1 by bolts 3. Adjacent frame pieces 2 are fixed together by bolts 3. The two support plates 1 and several frame pieces 2 form a metal frame for supporting the root ball of the ancient tree, which facilitates the protection of the root ball and avoids damage during the hoisting of the root ball. In order to extend the service life, the surfaces of the support plate 1 and the frame 2 are sprayed with anti-rust paint, with at least two layers of anti-rust paint to prevent corrosion.
[0021] In this embodiment, the support plate 1 includes a base plate 11, which is made of 5mm thick steel plate with dimensions of 4m*2m. A semi-circular notch 13 with a diameter of 1m is formed on one side of the base plate 11. A first connecting frame 12 is welded to the edge of the base plate 11. The first connecting frame 12 is made of 50*50*4mm angle steel, and one side of the angle steel is welded flush with the base plate 11. The first connecting frame 12 can improve the strength of the base plate 11 and increase its load-bearing capacity. The edge of the first connecting frame 12 is formed with several mounting holes for easy installation of bolts 3. The mounting holes have a diameter of 20mm. At least one set of hooks 14 is welded to both ends of the base plate 11. The hooks are made of round steel with a diameter of 25mm bent into shape. The contact length between the hooks 14 and the lower surface of the base plate 11 is not less than 0.5m, which helps to improve the firmness after welding.
[0022] In this embodiment, the frame 2 includes side plates 21. The side plates 21 are made of steel plates with a thickness of 2mm and a size of 1m*1.5m, with a total of 16 plates. A second connecting frame 22 is welded to the edge of the side plate 21. The second connecting frame 22 is made of 50*50*4mm angle steel. One side of the angle steel is welded flush with the side plate 21. The second connecting frame 22 can improve the strength of the side plate 21 and increase its load-bearing capacity. The edge of the second connecting frame 22 is formed with several mounting holes for easy installation of bolts 3. The mounting holes have a diameter of 20mm and are easy to fix with M16 or M18 bolts.
[0023] In this embodiment, both the support plate 1 and the frame 2 are rectangular. The length of the support plate 1 is an integer multiple of the length of the short side of the frame 2, and the length of the long side of the base plate 11 is twice the length of the short side. This makes it easier to assemble the support plate 1 and the frame 2 together, reducing gaps and improving stability.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the length of the long side of the base plate 11 of the soil block at the root of the ancient tree is the same. After separating the soil block at the root of the ancient tree from the ground, the upper half of the soil ball is wrapped with netting and packing straps. Then, a notch is removed at the bottom of the soil ball, and the lower half and bottom of the soil ball are wrapped with netting and packing straps. Two support plates 1 are inserted from both sides under the soil ball, and the two support plates 1 are connected firmly with bolts 3. Then, the frame 2 is connected to the edge of the support plate 1 with bolts 3. Adjacent frame plates 2 are fixed together with bolts 3 for reinforcement, thereby forming a square frame. Ensure that the nuts of all bolts 3 are tightened. Then, the crane hook is used to hang it on the hook 14 for hoisting.
[0025] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
