Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry planting technology, and in particular to a root guiding device for forest trees. Background Technology

[0002] Planting trees can improve air quality. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, while also absorbing dust and harmful gases, reducing air pollution. Afforestation can store large amounts of carbon, slowing down global warming and forming a natural carbon sink. Tree roots fix the soil, reducing soil erosion and the risk of mudslides. Planting trees in windy and sandy areas can reduce wind speed and protect the ecosystem.

[0003] To enhance the wind and toppling resistance of trees, it is necessary to guide their roots to grow deeper into the soil, allowing them to better rely on the soil for anchorage. Tree roots are hydrotropic and will actively extend towards areas with abundant water. A common method for guiding tree roots relies on manually adjusting the depth of irrigation pipes inserted into the soil periodically, causing the bottom of the pipe to continuously move deeper into the soil and thus changing the irrigation position to guide the roots downwards. While effective, this method is highly dependent on manual intervention, requiring adjustments each time. This results in a long labor cycle and the possibility of human error causing some irrigation pipes to remain unadjusted, which is detrimental to root guidance in some trees. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a tree root guiding device to solve the problem that the common tree root guiding methods mentioned in the background art mainly rely on manual periodic adjustment of the depth of the irrigation pipe inserted into the soil layer. Although this method is effective, it is highly dependent on manual labor, and manual adjustment is required for each operation, which results in a long labor cycle and the problem that the irrigation pipes of some trees may not be adjusted due to human error.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a root guiding device for forest trees, comprising two connecting cylinders, a fixing plate fixed to the top of the connecting cylinders, and a plurality of irrigation pipes fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting cylinders, the plurality of irrigation pipes being arranged in a circular array, and the length of the plurality of irrigation pipes increasing progressively from head to tail, an adjusting bolt inserted into the fixing plate, and the fixing plate being threadedly connected to the adjusting bolt, the bottom end of the adjusting bolt being rotatably connected to a carrier plate via a bearing, a guide rod fixed to the upper surface of the carrier plate, a sliding groove adapted to the guide rod being provided on the fixing plate, a plurality of support rods fixed to the lower surface of the carrier plate, the plurality of support rods corresponding to the plurality of irrigation pipes respectively, and a stop block fixed to the bottom end of the support rod, the stop block slidingly engaging with the inner wall of the irrigation pipe, and both the bottom end of the irrigation pipe and the stop block being provided with a beveled cut, a conveying pipe fixedly connected to the periphery of the connecting cylinders, and a water supply assembly installed between the two conveying pipes, the water supply assembly being used to periodically supply water to the inside of the two connecting cylinders.

[0006] Furthermore, a partition is fixed inside the connecting cylinder, and several of the support rods are slidably inserted into the partition, with a sealing ring provided at the joint between the partition and the support rod.

[0007] Furthermore, two auxiliary plates are fixed to the peripheral side of the connecting cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the water supply assembly includes a water storage tank, with two water outlet pipes fixedly inserted into the top of the water storage tank. The two water outlet pipes are respectively connected to two delivery pipes. An air pump is installed on the top of the water storage tank, and the air outlet of the air pump is fixedly connected to an air delivery pipe. The bottom end of the air delivery pipe extends into the interior of the water storage tank.

[0009] Furthermore, several ground nails are fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a water injection pipe is fixedly connected to the periphery of the water storage tank, and a sealing cap is threaded to the top of the water injection pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, a storage battery is installed on the top of the water storage tank, and a timer switch is installed on the storage battery.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, water is injected into the connecting cylinder at regular intervals using a water supply component. After the water enters the interior of the connecting cylinder, it will be dispersed and discharged along several irrigation pipes distributed in a circular array. The length of the irrigation pipes increases gradually from the beginning to the end. In this way, the irrigation pipes inserted into the soil can replenish the soil at different depths. Based on the growth characteristic of the tree roots to water, the tree roots will continue to grow and extend downward under this guidance, effectively improving the windproof and anti-tipping ability of the trees, and greatly reducing the dependence on human intervention.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, a timer switch is used to control the battery to supply power to the air pump at regular intervals. During the time the air pump is powered on, it can fill the water tank with air, which forces the air pressure inside the water tank to increase. In this way, the water stored in the water tank can be sent to the inside of the connecting cylinder along the water outlet pipe, and finally water the soil layer along the irrigation pipe to guide the growth of the tree roots.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1-5The illustrated tree root guiding device includes two connecting cylinders 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixed to the top of the connecting cylinder 1, and multiple irrigation pipes 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting cylinder 1. The multiple irrigation pipes 3 are arranged in a circular array, and their lengths increase progressively from head to tail. An adjusting bolt 4 is inserted into the fixing plate 2, and the fixing plate 2 and the adjusting bolt 4 are threaded together. The bottom end of the adjusting bolt 4 is rotatably connected to a carrier plate 5 via a bearing. A guide rod 6 is fixed to the upper surface of the carrier plate 5. A sliding groove adapted to the guide rod 6 is opened on the fixing plate 2. Multiple support rods 7 are fixed to the lower surface of the carrier plate 5, and the multiple support rods 7 correspond to the multiple irrigation pipes 3 respectively. A stop block 8 is fixed to the bottom end of the support rod 7, and the stop block 8 slides with the inner wall of the irrigation pipe 3. By turning the adjusting bolt 4 with a wrench, the adjusting bolt 4 pushes the carrier plate 5 downward, and the carrier plate 5 pushes the support rod 7 downward, so that the support rod 7 squeezes the stop block 8 out of the irrigation pipe 3. The bottom end of the pipe extends out to prevent soil from entering the interior of the irrigation pipe 3 along the bottom end during the insertion of the irrigation pipe 3 into the soil layer, thus preventing irrigation blockage. Both the bottom end of the irrigation pipe 3 and the stop block 8 are provided with oblique cuts, so that while the stop block 8 seals the bottom end of the irrigation pipe 3, both can be inserted into the soil layer more easily. The interior of the connecting cylinder 1 is fixed with a partition plate 9, and multiple support rods 7 are slidably inserted into the partition plate 9. A sealing ring is provided at the joint between the partition plate 9 and the support rods 7. The partition plate 9 is used to prevent water entering the connecting cylinder 1 from overflowing from the top of the connecting cylinder 1. The periphery of the connecting cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with a conveying pipe 10. Two auxiliary plates 11 are fixed on the periphery of the connecting cylinder 1. The two auxiliary plates 11 are used to apply downward pressure to the connecting cylinder 1, so that the irrigation pipe 3 can be inserted into the soil layer better. A water supply component is installed between the two conveying pipes 10. The water supply component is used to deliver water to the interior of the two connecting cylinders 1 at regular intervals.

[0024] Water is periodically injected into the connecting cylinder 1 using a water supply component. After entering the interior of the connecting cylinder 1, the water is dispersed and discharged along multiple irrigation pipes 3 arranged in a circular array. The length of the multiple irrigation pipes 3 increases gradually from head to tail. In this way, the multiple irrigation pipes 3 inserted into the soil can replenish the soil at different depths. Based on the growth characteristic of the tree roots to water, the tree roots will continue to grow and extend downward under this guidance.

[0025] The water supply assembly includes a water storage tank 12, with two water outlet pipes 13 fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank 12. The two water outlet pipes 13 are respectively connected to two delivery pipes 10. An air pump 14 is installed on the top of the water storage tank 12, and an air supply pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump 14. The bottom end of the air supply pipe 15 extends into the interior of the water storage tank 12. Multiple ground nails 16 are fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank 12. The use of ground nails 16 can help the water storage tank 12 to be placed more stably on the ground. A water injection pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the water storage tank 12. A sealing cap 18 is threadedly connected to the top of the water injection pipe 17. By unscrewing the sealing cap 18, water can be added to the interior of the water storage tank 12 along the water injection pipe 17. A battery 19 is installed on the top of the water storage tank 12. A timer switch 20 is installed on the battery 19. The timer switch 20 is set so that it controls the battery 19 to supply power to the air pump 14 at regular intervals.

[0026] The timer switch 20 controls the battery 19 to supply power to the air pump 14 at regular intervals, so that the air pump 14 can fill the water tank 12 with air during the power-on period, forcing the air pressure inside the water tank 12 to increase. In this way, the water stored in the water tank 12 can be sent to the interior of the connecting cylinder 1 along the outlet pipe 13, and finally water the soil layer along the irrigation pipe 3 to guide the growth of the tree roots.

[0027] Working principle of this utility model:

[0028] Select a suitable location near the tree roots and vertically insert the irrigation pipe 3 into the soil. With the help of the support plate 11, use tools such as a hammer to fully drive the irrigation pipe 3 into the soil until the bottom of the connecting cylinder 1 contacts the soil surface. Use a wrench to turn the adjusting bolt 4, so that the adjusting bolt 4 pushes the carrier plate 5 down. The carrier plate 5 presses the support rod 7 and the stop block 8 down, so that the stop block 8 protrudes from the bottom end of the irrigation pipe 3. In this way, the bottom end of the irrigation pipe 3 can be kept unobstructed, which is convenient for subsequent watering. Connect the two delivery pipes 10 to the two outlet pipes 13 respectively. The ground nail 16 at the bottom of the water storage tank 12 can be inserted into the soil to help the water storage tank 12 be better fixed on the soil. After unscrewing the sealing cap 18, a certain amount of water can be injected into the water storage tank 12 along the water injection pipe 17. Then, screw the sealing cap 18 back onto the water injection pipe 17 so that the sealing cap 18 continues to seal the water injection pipe 17.

[0029] After the preparation is completed, the timer switch 20 is set. The set time is generally to control the battery 19 to supply power to the air pump 14 for 3 minutes every 48 hours. In this way, when the battery 19 supplies power to the air pump 14, the air pump 14 will send air into the water storage tank 12, which will increase the air pressure inside the water storage tank 12. This will force the water in the water storage tank 12 to overflow along the water outlet pipe 13. The water will then enter the delivery pipe 10 along the water outlet pipe 13 and finally flow into the interior of the connecting cylinder 1 and be dispersed and discharged along multiple irrigation pipes 3 to irrigate soil layers of different depths, guide the roots of the trees to grow downwards and extend, so as to enhance the trees' ability to resist wind and prevent tipping.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
