Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape construction technology, and in particular to a wind-resistant support structure for trees in landscape construction. Background Technology
[0002] Trees are an important component of landscape architecture, and planting them is a crucial part of landscape construction. Currently, some landscape designs and constructions opt for direct planting of tall trees to quickly achieve the desired shape and form. The process involves first excavating tree pits, placing the tree's root ball in the pits, and then backfilling and leveling the area. Before trees survive and develop sufficient new roots, their stability is poor, making them susceptible to being blown over or toppled by strong winds. Therefore, support structures are typically required to support the tree trunks. Common support structures use struts as the main component, which are angled and braced against the trunk and ground. To ensure tree stability, the bottom of the struts is usually spaced significantly from the trunk, and the struts require a considerable amount of time to remove.
[0003] In some landscape designs, trees are planted close to sidewalks or directly in tree pits left in the middle of sidewalks. When these support structures are installed, the bottom of the support poles often extends onto the sidewalk, obstructing pedestrian traffic. If the bottom of the support poles is confined within the tree pit, the bottom of the pole is closer to the tree trunk, reducing the support effect and compromising the tree's stability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wind-resistant structure for trees in garden construction, which can prevent them from extending onto the sidewalk during installation and give the trees good stability.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 A wind-resistant support structure for trees in landscaping construction is provided, which is installed in a tree pit 11, where a root ball 121 of a tree is placed. The support structure includes columns 20, a horizontal frame, support components 40, and a gravel layer 50. Multiple columns 20 are arranged at intervals around the root ball 121, and each column 20 is fixedly inserted into the tree pit 11, with its lower end lower than the root ball 121. The horizontal frame is located on top of the root ball 121 and the columns 20, and is lower than the top edge of the tree pit 11. The horizontal frame includes two opposing frames 31, which are detachably connected and detachably connected to their corresponding columns 20 at their bottom. The upper end of the support component 40 is connected to the tree trunk 122, and the lower end of the support component 40 is rotatably connected to the frame 31. The gravel layer 50 is laid on the top of the inner cavity of the tree pit 11.
[0026] During construction, tree pit 11 can be excavated on the road surface or roadside. Root ball 121 is placed inside tree pit 11, and then posts 20 are driven into the perimeter of root ball 121. Two frames 31 are spliced together to form a transverse frame, which is placed on top of root ball 121. The frame 31 is then connected to the posts 20, and support components 40 are installed. Finally, a layer of gravel 50 is laid on top of the inner cavity of tree pit 11, thus completing the support and fixation of the tree. After a period of maintenance, once the tree survives and grows sufficient new roots, the gravel layer 50 is removed to expose the transverse frame. The support components 40, transverse frame, and posts 20 are then dismantled for recycling and reuse.
[0027] The root ball 121 of the tree contains a large number of taproots and compacted soil. In the above solution, by fixing the post 20 into the tree pit 11 and setting the horizontal frame on top of the root ball 121, the root ball 121 can be well positioned, and the set support component 40 can support the trunk 122. In this way, the tree can be positioned and supported, improving the stability of the tree. Moreover, the support structure will not intrude into the road surface, avoiding affecting the passage of pedestrians. The gravel layer 50 can cover the horizontal frame, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing. It is also convenient to clean and restore the gravel layer 50 when the support structure is removed later, which can reduce the amount of dismantling work.
[0028] In some embodiments, a threaded cylinder 21 is fixedly provided on the top of the column 20, and a first bolt member 22 is slidably passed through the frame 31 longitudinally, the first bolt member 22 being fitted into the threaded cylinder 21. Specifically, the column 20 is tubular, and the threaded cylinder 21 is fixedly inserted into the column 20. During dismantling operations, hooks or other structures can be screwed into the threaded cylinder 21 to apply a pulling force to the column 20.
[0029] In some embodiments, the frame 31 includes a first tube 311, a second tube 312, a third tube 313, a fourth tube 314, and a mounting base 315. Two first tubes 311 are arranged parallel to each other, with one end of each tube fixedly connected to a mounting base 315. The first tubes 311 and the second tube 312 are perpendicular to each other. The second tubes 312 and the third tube 313 are arranged parallel to each other. The two ends of the second tube 312 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two first tubes 311. The two ends of the third tube 313 are fixedly connected to two mounting bases 315 one-to-one. Two fourth tubes 314 are arranged parallel to the first tubes 311, with one end of each fourth tube 314 fixedly connected to the side of the second tube 312 facing away from the third tube 313. When the two frames 31 are connected, the second tubes 312 and the fourth tubes 314 form a frame through which the tree trunk 122 can pass.
[0030] Furthermore, the frame 31 also includes a fifth tube 316, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the second tube 312 and the third tube 313, respectively. As described above, the tubes and the mounting base 315 can form a stable frame 31, which, through its connection with the column 20, provides good positioning for the soil ball 121.
[0031] The first tube 311 and the fourth tube 314 are each provided with a connecting plate 317 on the other side wall. The corresponding connecting plates 317 on the two frames 31 are slidably provided with second bolts 32. The two frames 31 can be fixedly connected by tightening nuts on the second bolts 32.
[0032] In some embodiments, a connecting post 318 is fixedly provided at the other end of the first tube 311 and the fourth tube 314 of one frame 31. The connecting post 318 is slidably inserted into the other end of the first tube 311 and the fourth tube 314 of the other frame 31, and the connecting post 318 has a first through hole 3181. The other end of the first tube 311 and the fourth tube 314 of the other frame 31 also has a second through hole. A third bolt 33 passes through the first through hole 3181 and the second through hole. The two frames 31 can be fixedly connected by tightening a nut on the third bolt 33. The diameter of the first through hole 3181 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rod of the third bolt 33. The diameter of the through hole on the mounting base 315 for the first bolt 22 to pass through is also slightly larger than the diameter of the rod of the first bolt 22, so as to compensate for the installation error of the support structure.
