Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree branch pulling, and in particular to a branch pulling auxiliary structure that can avoid damaging branches. Background Technology

[0002] The following problems exist in orchard management: problems caused by winter / spring branch pulling; fruit growers are accustomed to pulling branches during winter pruning, but at this time the branches are brittle and hard, and are easy to split or form damaged branches; pulling branches before spring budding can easily stimulate the sprouting of buds on the back, resulting in the growth of a large number of upright and vigorous branches (i.e., "sprouting branches"), which disrupts the tree shape.

[0003] While summer branch training can suppress excessive spring shoot growth, the new shoots are prone to re-emerging, and the phenomenon of excessive branch emergence is difficult to control. Autumn branch training can promote nutrient accumulation, but the angle will not be fixed until the following year, and its effect on flowering in the current year is limited. Therefore, the time for branch training is fixed.

[0004] Inaccurate angle control: The angle is not adjusted flexibly according to the variety, tree shape, and density. For example, Fuji apples need 110°-120° while Gala apples only need 80°-90°. However, in practice, the angle is often uniformly pulled to the horizontal or drooping position, which leads to premature aging of the tree.

[0005] The operation method is crude: directly pulling the unsoftened branches directly will cause the base to split or form a bow shape (which makes it easy for new shoots to sprout); incorrect branch pulling position (such as binding in the middle) will cause constriction and interfere with nutrient transport.

[0006] At the same time, branch pulling requires a lot of physical strength; if you don't have the physical strength, you simply can't keep up.

[0007] At the same time, it is difficult to quickly pull down the higher branches.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a product that can quickly pull branches, save manpower, pull branches to high places, and precisely control the pulling angle; it can solve the problem of branches being brittle, hard, easy to split, or causing damage to branches.

[0009] In summary, the shortcomings of existing technologies are as follows:

[0010] 1. The angle cannot be precisely controlled; 2. The branches are brittle and easily split or become damaged; 3. It requires a lot of physical strength, and those who are not physically strong simply cannot keep up; 4. It is also difficult to quickly pull down taller branches. Utility Model Content

[0011] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a branch-pulling auxiliary structure that can better avoid damaging branches. The specific purpose is explained in the several substantial technical effects in the specific implementation section.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0013] A branch-pulling auxiliary structure that can avoid damaging branches is characterized in that the branch-pulling auxiliary mechanism includes a rod-shaped part, and the guide cylinder 8 includes multiple sets. The multiple sets of guide cylinders 8 are arranged along the arc and welded together by the arc-shaped side arc frame 9, and the side arc frame 9 includes two sets.

[0014] A working hook 13 is welded to the side arc-shaped frame 9;

[0015] The bottom of the rod-shaped part can be inserted into the soil;

[0016] The working hook 13 can hook onto the tree branch, and the multiple sets of guide cylinders 8 can bend and guide the tree branch to make it bend.

[0017] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the upper end of the handheld lever 1 is hinged to the guide cylinder 8.

[0018] A further technical solution of this utility model is that a lifting sleeve 6 is sleeved on the rod-shaped part, and the lifting sleeve 6 is fixed by the sleeve. The butterfly knob 14 can be rotated and fixed on the hand handle 1. The tension rod 10 is hinged to the lifting sleeve 6. The upper end and the top hinge position 12 of the tension rod 10 are hinged to the vertical plate below the arc wall 15.

[0019] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the rod-shaped part is a telescopic rod structure that can change length. The telescopic rod structure includes a nested hand handle 1 and an extension part 2. The fixed butterfly knob 5 can relatively fix the hand handle 1 and the extension part 2. A foot pedal part 3 is arranged on the extension part 2.

[0020] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the end of the rod of the protruding part 2 is inclined or conical.

[0021] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the materials of the hand-held rod 1, the foot pedal part 3, and the lifting sleeve 6 can be round tubes or square tubes; the materials of the remaining parts can be round tubes, square tubes, angle steel, flat steel, or C-shaped steel.

[0022] The present invention, which adopts the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: the working hook 13 hangs on the bottom of the branch, and then the rod-shaped part is rotated so that the overall support composed of multiple sets of guide cylinders 8 arranged in an arc can effectively realize the bending of the fruit tree branches and pull the branches without damage.

[0023] In response to the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as "branches being brittle and easily split or damaged", this patent uses an arc-shaped guide method, which will not damage the branches or cause them to split or be damaged.

[0024] Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the high demands on physical strength required (those lacking physical strength simply cannot keep up), this patent can save manpower.

[0025] Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to precisely control the angle, this patent enables precise angle control. Attached Figure Description
