Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural auxiliary tools, and in particular to a portable kiwifruit pruning aid. Background Technology

[0002] Winter pruning of kiwifruit is the most crucial part of year-round management in kiwifruit production. It must be completed within one month after leaf fall and before sap flow in the following year. Currently, in actual production, when pruning kiwifruit, if the branches are too tall, operators must use ladders or lifts to adjust the height so that they can easily grasp the branches and complete the pruning work at height. Ladders or lifts are heavy and inconvenient to move; therefore, there is an urgent need for a tool that allows workers to easily grasp kiwifruit branches.

[0003] To address the above issues, patent document CN216600895U discloses a portable kiwifruit pruning aid, including a handle. One end of the handle is slidably connected to a telescopic rod, and an arc-shaped stainless steel hook is threaded onto a nut. A protective layer is provided on the inner side of the stainless steel hook, and a handle sleeve is fitted onto the outer wall of the other end of the handle. This technical solution primarily utilizes the telescopic rod to achieve adjustable length, enabling the retrieval of branches at different heights. The telescopic rod includes a first sliding rod, a second sliding rod, and a third sliding rod, which are slidably connected to each other. This allows the telescopic rod to occupy less space after retraction, facilitating storage and portability. The protective layer pasted inside the stainless steel hook maximizes the friction between the hook and the branch, facilitating branch retrieval. Furthermore, the use of a soft protective material minimizes damage to the branches and buds caused by pulling force.
