Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape engineering technology, and in particular to an adjustable and environmentally friendly tree integrated support device. Background Technology

[0002] In landscape architecture, trees typically require support structures to ensure their stable growth. In the early stages of transplanting, before their roots are fully established in the soil, trees are vulnerable to the effects of wind, rain, and other natural forces, making them prone to falling over. Furthermore, some trees, with their tall trunks, large crowns, and high centers of gravity, have relatively poor stability and require external support to maintain their upright position, ensuring normal growth and development and preventing them from being affected by tilting or falling over, which could even lead to death.

[0003] Traditional tree support systems have numerous drawbacks. Functionally, their simple structure often provides only basic support, lacking height adjustment features like those in this solution, and failing to meet the diverse needs of trees of varying heights at different growth stages. They also lack lighting, making it difficult to enhance the landscape at night. Insufficient root aeration hinders proper ventilation and nutrient absorption. Wind protection and stabilization measures are limited, offering weak protection for trees in inclement weather. In terms of ease of use, installation and dismantling are cumbersome, requiring significant manpower and time, increasing construction costs and complexity. From an environmental and aesthetic perspective, they often use disposable materials, are non-recyclable, leading to resource waste and environmental pollution. Furthermore, their design typically fails to consider harmony with the overall style of the garden landscape, negatively impacting the overall visual effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable and environmentally friendly tree support device to solve the problems of existing tree support devices, such as single function, cumbersome installation, non-recyclability, impact on landscape aesthetics, and inability to meet the support needs of different trees. It provides stable and reliable support for garden trees, while optimizing the garden landscape effect and promoting the healthy growth of trees.

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

[0006] An adjustable and environmentally friendly tree support device includes a support rod to keep the tree trunk upright. The support rod is divided into a first support section and a second support section, which are connected end to end. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the first support section and the second support section. One end of the first support section is connected to the end of the second support section through the adjustment mechanism. The other end of the first support section is connected to the tree trunk. The other end of the second support section is movably connected to a fixing plate placed on the ground.

[0007] Preferably, a lamp holder is fitted around the outer edge of the tree trunk, and a connecting rod is provided between the lamp holder and the tree trunk to connect the lamp holder and the tree trunk. A spotlight is provided on the lamp holder along the direction from the ground to the lamp holder.

[0008] Preferably, a vent pipe is connected to the fixed pile plate, and the vent pipe is laid along the inner wall of the pit.

[0009] Preferably, the second support section has a chamber that communicates with the outside and matches the first support section. The adjustment mechanism includes a push rod, an opening, a screw, and a nut. The push rod is located on the first support section, and the opening matches the push rod and is located on the second support section. The second support section has a through hole that passes through the second support section and the first support section. The screw is located on one side of the second support section, and the nut is located on the opposite side of the second support section. When the screw and the nut are engaged, they can fix the relative positions of the first support section and the second support section.

[0010] Preferably, the lamp holder is rectangular in the projection direction from the top of the tree to the trunk.

[0011] Preferably, the lamp holder is provided with multiple spotlights, and the multiple spotlights are evenly spaced apart from each other.

[0012] Preferably, the outer edge of the tree trunk is fitted with a wrapping layer that matches the tree trunk, and the outer edge of the wrapping layer is fitted with a plurality of clamps that match the wrapping layer.

[0013] Preferably, the clamp is provided with a plurality of gripping nails on the side away from the tree trunk, and each gripping nail is vertically inserted into the clamp.

[0014] Preferably, the first support section, the second support section, the fixed pile plate and the adjustment mechanism are combined into a support unit. In the projection direction from the top of the tree to the trunk, four support units are evenly provided on the outer edge of the trunk, and the included angle between adjacent support units is 90°.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: In practical applications, when supporting trees, the support rod is divided into a first support section and a second support section, with an adjustment mechanism in between. When dealing with trees of different heights or changes in tree height during growth, the height of the support rod can be easily adjusted using the adjustment mechanism, such as by operating a push rod, opening, screw, and nut, to meet support requirements and avoid affecting the support effect due to unsuitable height. The first support section connects to the tree trunk, and the second support section connects to the ground-fixed pile plate, forming a stable support structure. This greatly improves the stability of the support for the tree, reduces the risk of the tree falling over in severe weather such as wind and rain, and provides strong protection for the stable growth of the tree.

Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar words used in this utility model do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Words such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word covers the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, but does not exclude other elements or objects.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2An adjustable and environmentally friendly tree support device includes a support rod that keeps the tree trunk 40 upright. The support rod is divided into a first support section 10 and a second support section 11, which are connected end to end. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the first support section 10 and the second support section 11. One end of the first support section 10 is connected to the end of the second support section 11 through the adjustment mechanism. The other end of the first support section 10 is connected to the tree trunk 40. The other end of the second support section 11 is movably connected to a fixing plate 12 placed on the ground.

[0028] This solution aims to address the problems of existing tree support devices, such as limited functionality, lack of adjustability, insufficient stability, and environmental unfriendliness, providing a more efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly support method for trees. In this device, the first support section 10 and the second support section 11 of the support rod are key components, connected by an adjustment mechanism. One end of the first support section 10 is connected to the tree trunk 40; a soft cushioning material, such as a rubber pad, can be used at the connection point to ensure a tight fit to the trunk 40 while preventing damage to the bark. The other end of the second support section 11 is movably connected to a ground-mounted fixing plate 12. The fixing plate 12 has a large area and anti-slip texture on the bottom to enhance friction with the ground.

[0029] In this embodiment, a lamp holder 14 is fitted around the outer edge of the tree trunk 40, and a connecting rod is provided between the lamp holder 14 and the tree trunk 40 to connect the lamp holder 14 and the tree trunk 40. A spotlight 15 is provided on the lamp holder 14 along the direction from the ground to the lamp holder 14.

[0030] This solution addresses the problems of traditional tree support devices lacking lighting functionality and having poor functional integration. The light stand 14, as a key component, is connected to the tree trunk 40 via a connecting rod. In practical applications, spotlights 15 positioned along the ground towards the light stand 14 provide illumination for the trees at night, enhancing the landscape effect, improving the garden's aesthetic appeal and attractiveness, and providing a better viewing experience for visitors. Furthermore, the light stand 14 works seamlessly with other support components without interfering with their operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, a ventilator 13 is connected to the fixed pile plate 12, and the ventilator 13 is laid along the inner wall of the pit.

[0032] This solution aims to improve the poor aeration of tree roots. Aeration pipes 13 are laid along the inner wall of the pit, allowing air to smoothly enter the soil around the tree roots, promoting root respiration and nutrient absorption, which helps to improve the survival rate and growth rate of the trees, and optimizes the tree's growing environment.

[0033] The aeration pipe 13 is made of steel rectangular tubing. The steel material ensures the structural strength of the aeration pipe 13, allowing it to maintain its shape stability in the soil environment for a long time. It is not easily deformed or damaged by soil compression, thus ensuring continuous and smooth gas flow. The rectangular tube's shape design facilitates connection and fixation with the fixed pile plate 12 and other support structures, ensuring its stable position in the entire support device. This allows it to continuously and effectively provide a good aeration environment for the tree roots, promoting healthy root growth.

[0034] like Figure 3 In this embodiment, the second support section 11 has a chamber that communicates with the outside and matches the first support section 10. The adjustment mechanism includes a push rod 30, an opening 301, a screw 32, and a nut 33. The push rod 30 is located on the first support section 10, and the opening 301 matches the push rod 30 and is located on the second support section 11. The second support section 11 has a through hole 31 that passes through the second support section 11 and the first support section 10. The screw 32 is located on one side of the second support section 11, and the nut 33 is located on the opposite side of the second support section 11. When the screw 32 and the nut 33 are engaged, the relative positions of the first support section 10 and the second support section 11 can be fixed.

[0035] The push rod 30, opening 301, screw 32, and nut 33 are the core components of the adjustment mechanism. In practical applications, when the support height needs to be adjusted, the push rod 30 is moved within the opening 301 to change the relative position of the first support section 10 and the second support section 11, and then fixed with the screw 32 and nut 33. The perforation 31 ensures the stability of the structure. This adjustment method is simple to operate, can quickly adapt to trees of different heights, and improves the versatility and practicality of the support device.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lamp holder 14 is rectangular in the projection direction from the tree top to the tree trunk 40.

[0037] This solution addresses the lack of overall aesthetic design in traditional support devices. The light fixture 14 is designed as a rectangle, resulting in a neat and regular shape when viewed from the treetop to the trunk (40° projection). In practical applications, the rectangular light fixture 14 blends more easily with the garden landscape style, enhancing the overall aesthetics and harmony of the garden while providing illumination, thus making the garden layout more rational and orderly.

[0038] The lamp holder 14 is made of rectangular steel tubing, which has high strength and good stability, and can stably support lighting equipment such as spotlights 15, ensuring that it will not easily deform or be damaged under various environmental conditions, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the lighting device. Its regular shape facilitates processing and installation, and can be precisely cut and connected according to design requirements, which helps to achieve close cooperation with other components, thereby maintaining consistency and coordination in the overall structure and improving the overall performance of the device.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lamp holder 14 is provided with a plurality of spotlights 15, which are evenly spaced apart from each other.

[0040] This solution aims to improve the uniformity and richness of the lighting effect. Multiple spotlights 15 on the light stand 14 are evenly spaced. In actual use, the multiple spotlights 15 can illuminate the trees from different angles, avoiding blind spots and making the trees present a better visual effect at night, further enhancing the attractiveness of the garden landscape and creating a unique atmosphere for the garden.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] In this embodiment, the outer edge of the tree trunk 40 is fitted with a wrapping layer 20 that matches the tree trunk 40, and the outer edge of the wrapping layer 20 is fitted with a plurality of clamps 21 that match the wrapping layer 20.

[0043] This solution addresses the issues of insufficient protection for the tree trunk 40 and the need to improve support stability. The wrapping layer 20 fits tightly against the tree trunk 40 to provide protection, while the clamping plate 21 and the retaining nails 22 are used to secure the wrapping layer 20. In practical applications, the clamping plate 21 is firmly fixed to the wrapping layer 20 by the retaining nails 22, preventing the wrapping layer 20 from shifting. This not only protects the tree trunk 40 from damage but also enhances the stability of the connection between the support device and the tree trunk 40, ensuring the support effect.

[0044] Using burlap for the wrapping layer 20 offers several advantages. While burlap is relatively rough, it is soft and conforms closely to the contours of the tree trunk 40. This protects the trunk 40 from external mechanical damage, and its breathability allows it to breathe normally, thus maintaining the trunk's physiological activity. Furthermore, burlap is relatively inexpensive and widely available, effectively controlling costs in large-scale landscaping applications and adhering to the principle of economic practicality.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of gripping nails 22 are provided on the side of the clamping plate 21 away from the trunk 40, and each gripping nail 22 is vertically inserted into the clamping plate 21.

[0046] This design primarily aims to further enhance the fixing effect of the clamping plate 21 on the wrapping layer 20, preventing loosening during use. The clamping nails 22 play a crucial role; they are made of a hard metal material with excellent strength and durability. In actual operation, each clamping nail 22 is vertically inserted into the clamping plate 21, its sharp end firmly penetrating the wrapping layer 20, ensuring the clamping plate 21 is tightly fixed to the wrapping layer 20. This provides stable protection for the tree trunk 40, preventing the overall stability of the support device for the tree from being affected by the clamping plate 21 loosening, and ensuring a normal growth environment for the trees in the garden.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first support section 10, the second support section 11, the fixed pile plate 12 and the adjustment mechanism are combined into a support unit. From the projection direction from the top of the tree to the trunk 40, four support units are evenly provided on the outer edge of the trunk 40, and the included angle between adjacent support units is 90°.

[0048] This design aims to provide comprehensive and stable support for trees to withstand external forces from different directions. Four support units are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the trunk at 40°, with adjacent units forming a 90° angle. In practical applications, the first support section 10, the second support section 11, the fixing plate 12, and the adjustment mechanism of each support unit work together. When the tree is subjected to external forces such as wind, the four support units provide support from different directions, forming a stable support structure that effectively disperses external forces, significantly reducing the likelihood of the tree falling over. This provides reliable support for tree growth and meets the long-term stable growth requirements of trees in landscape gardens.
