Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of birch sap collection technology, specifically a novel birch sap collector. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, birch sap is collected from mature birch trees that are over 20 years old and have a diameter at breast height of over 18 centimeters. The collection method involves drilling a hole about 4 centimeters deep and about 10 millimeters in diameter at a height of 70 centimeters or less from the ground on the trunk. A transparent, food-grade tube is then inserted to connect to a sterile collection bag to collect the sap. Most types of sterile collection bags require the use of steel nails to secure them to the trunk.

[0003] The above collection methods have many limitations. Drilling holes to collect birch sap causes significant damage to the trees, resulting in slow recovery and requiring up to three years before sap can be collected again, thus limiting the frequency of birch sap collection. During collection, sap easily leaks out from the gap between the outer wall of the duct and the edge of the drill hole, causing waste. External dust enters the hole along the gap between the duct and the drill hole, contaminating the sap. Drilling requires manual drilling, with a minimum hole diameter of 10 mm. Tree fibers are cut within the drilling depth, and sawdust remains, which can easily clog the drainage tube or enter the sterile collection bag. Using steel nails to hang the bag causes secondary damage to the trees. The collection process is cumbersome, relies on manual operation, and is difficult to scale up.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of birch sap collector to solve the problems of excessive damage to trees, high collection costs, low efficiency, and environmental unfriendliness in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above facts, in order to solve the problems of large damage to trees, high collection cost, low efficiency and environmental unfriendliness in the prior art, this utility model designs a new type of birch sap collector.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel birch sap collector includes a collector body and a guide tube;

[0008] The main body of the juice collector includes a needle tip, needle body, and needle tail integrally formed from left to right;

[0009] The main body of the juice extractor is a slender needle-like structure with a hollow interior, a sharp needle tip, and a steel nail-shaped needle tail.

[0010] The needle tip surface is provided with three arc-shaped grooves;

[0011] Three longitudinal grooves are provided along the surface of the needle body, and rectangular seepage holes are provided in the longitudinal grooves;

[0012] The arc-shaped groove at the needle tip is connected to the longitudinal groove on the needle body;

[0013] The last rectangular seepage hole extends downwards at a 95° angle from the end to connect to the guide pipe, 10 mm from the end.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the arc-shaped groove at the needle tip is 1.5 mm.

[0015] Furthermore: the longitudinal groove of the needle body is 40mm long, 1.5mm wide, and 0.3mm deep, and has 5 rectangular seepage holes;

[0016] The rectangular seepage hole is 5 mm long and 1.03 mm wide.

[0017] Furthermore: the first rectangular seepage hole is set at a longitudinal groove of the needle body at a distance of 4mm, and the interval between the rectangular seepage holes is 1mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the guide tube has a length of 120mm, a diameter of 4mm, and a wall thickness of 0.5mm.

[0019] Furthermore: the main body of the juice collector is 60mm long, the needle tip is 5mm long, and the needle body is 54mm long;

[0020] The diameter of the connection between the needle tip and the needle body is 4.5 mm, the diameter of the needle tail is 5.52 mm, and the diameter of the nail head is 13.5 mm.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. The needle tip of this invention enters the tree through compression without cutting the tree fibers, which is equivalent to minimally invasive and non-destructive harvesting. This reduces damage to the tree, lowers the risk of bacterial infection, and thus ensures the healthy growth of birch trees and enables the sustainable harvesting of birch resources.

[0023] 2. This utility model optimizes the structure of the sap collector, effectively seals the collection area, prevents sawdust from flowing into the sap, prevents sap from flowing out from the outer wall of the needle hole, avoids contamination and external dust from entering, ensures the purity of the sap, and improves resource utilization.

[0024] 3. The material of this utility model is 304 food-grade stainless steel. It can be sterilized regularly and reused after collection. Compared with the pollution caused by the previous use of plastic tubing and plastic juice extractor, this new juice extractor is more environmentally friendly.

[0025] 4. This utility model simplifies the operation process, reduces damage to trees, and saves on the cost of raw materials such as pipes and steel nails.

[0026] 5. This utility model optimizes the needle structure, increases the contact area of ​​birch sap, speeds up the collection process, reduces manual intervention, and saves on manual care costs. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The surface of the needle tip 3 is provided with three arc-shaped grooves;

[0039] Three longitudinal grooves are provided along the surface of the needle body 4, and rectangular seepage holes 6 are provided in the longitudinal grooves. When the needle body 4 is inserted into the tree trunk, it prevents the needle body 4 from being wrapped by tree fibers and affecting the flow of sap. It helps the birch sap to flow more smoothly through the inside of the needle body 4 into the guide tube 2, and then into the collection bag.

[0040] The arc-shaped groove of the needle tip 3 is connected to the longitudinal groove of the needle body 4;

[0041] The last rectangular seepage hole 6 extends downward at a 95° angle from the end to connect to the guide pipe 2, 10 mm from the end.

[0042] More specifically: the height of the arc-shaped groove of the needle tip 3 is 1.5mm.

[0043] More specifically: the longitudinal groove of the needle body 4 is 40mm long, 1.5mm wide, and 0.3mm deep, and there are 5 rectangular seepage holes 6.

[0044] The rectangular perforation hole 6 is 5mm long and 1.03mm wide. It not only ensures that the birch sap flows in smoothly, but also prevents impurities from entering the body of the sap collector 1 to a certain extent, thus playing a preliminary filtering role.

[0045] More specifically: the first rectangular seepage hole 6 is provided at a longitudinal groove of 4mm in the needle body 4, and the rectangular seepage holes 6 are spaced 1mm apart.

[0046] More specifically: the guide tube 2 is 120mm long, 4mm in diameter, and 0.5mm thick, so that the hollow part has enough space to accommodate the flow of birch sap.

[0047] More specifically: the main body 1 of the sap collector is 60mm long, the needle tip 3 is 5mm long, and the needle body 4 is 54mm long, which makes it easy to insert into the tree trunk at a suitable depth for sap collection;

[0048] The diameter of the connection between the needle tip 3 and the needle body 4 is 4.5 mm, the diameter of the needle tail 5 is 5.52 mm, and the diameter of the nail head is 13.5 mm.

[0049] More specifically: the sap collector is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high strength and rust resistance. It can ensure that there is no chemical reaction with the birch sap during the birch sap collection process, thus ensuring the purity of the birch sap. It can also be reused for disinfection and is not easily damaged.

[0050] More specifically: the needle tip 3 is sharp, which facilitates quick and smooth insertion into the tree trunk and reduces the cutting of the tree trunk's fibrous tissue.

[0051] More specifically: the design of the arc-shaped groove, the longitudinal groove, and the rectangular seepage hole 6 increases the space for birch sap to flow out, allowing the birch sap to flow in at the maximum rate, thus achieving efficient collection.

[0052] More specifically: the drainage tube 2 is directly inserted into the sterile bag, eliminating the need for the traditional external catheter, reducing the risk of bacterial invasion, and saving on catheter material costs.

[0053] More specifically: the sterile bag is directly suspended from the needle tail 5, eliminating the need to nail it to the tree trunk, reducing damage to the tree and saving the cost of two steel nails per bag.
