Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden seedling cultivation technology, specifically to a seedling straightening device. Background Technology

[0002] In current urban greening, roadside planting, landscaping, and ecological restoration, seedling planting, as a fundamental aspect, is receiving increasing attention. In the early stages of planting, seedlings are vulnerable due to their underdeveloped root systems and fragile growth, making them highly susceptible to external environmental factors such as wind, rainfall, soil loosening, or human impact, which can lead to tilting or even toppling. Failure to promptly straighten the seedlings not only affects their survival rate but also reduces the aesthetic appeal, potentially causing death and increasing maintenance costs. Traditional straightening methods often employ ropes, wooden stakes, or bamboo poles for support. While simple in structure and readily available in materials, these methods suffer from numerous problems, including cumbersome installation, unstable support, susceptibility to damage, inconvenient adjustment, and poor visual appeal, making them unsuitable for diverse terrains and seedling species. Furthermore, in some areas, the lack of standardized procedures during straightening can easily cause secondary damage to the seedlings, hindering their subsequent growth.

[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a seedling straightening device includes an installation component 1, a fixing component 2, a connecting component 3, a rotating component 4, and a support component 5. The installation component 1 is installed on the outside of the seedling, serving as the foundation for the overall device's support and positioning. The fixing component 2 is located on the side of the installation component 1, effectively positioning and stabilizing the seedling's trunk or branches to prevent tilting or falling over. The connecting component 3 is located at the four corners of the installation component 1, securely connecting other components to the installation component 1 via screws or clips to ensure structural integrity. The rotating component 4 is installed above the connecting component 3, allowing adjustment of the connecting component 3's direction or angle according to different usage needs, and achieving stable fixation through a locking structure, thus ensuring straightening accuracy. The support component 5 is installed below the connecting component 3, forming a reliable support relationship with the ground through its independent legs or strut structure. When the support component 5 rotates around the connecting component 3 by a certain angle, the overall device posture can be adjusted, keeping the installation component 1 in a horizontal and stable state, thereby adapting to different terrains or seedling tilt angles and enhancing usage flexibility. After the rotating component 4 adjusts the angle, it can lock the connecting component 3 onto the mounting component 1 to ensure that it no longer shifts. Subsequently, the fixing component 2 oriented and straightens the seedlings and maintains a stable growth posture, improving the survival rate and wind resistance. It has good applicability and practical value.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the mounting component 1 includes a mounting plate 11, mounting holes 12, and a mounting ring 13. The mounting plate 11 is installed on the outside of the seedling, serving as the basic support structure for the entire straightening device. Its cross-sectional shape is rectangular to enhance stability and force balance, facilitating connection and fixation with other components. The mounting holes 12 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the mounting plate 11, primarily used to connect with the connecting component 3, improving the overall stability of the device. The mounting ring 13 is located at the center of the mounting plate 11, used to fit around the seedling, fixing the main trunk of the seedling to the center of the mounting plate 11, thereby achieving initial positioning and auxiliary straightening functions for the seedling. It is convenient to install and has good universal adaptability.

[0038] The mounting hole 12 has four evenly spaced limiting grooves 121 on its side. These grooves provide guidance and positioning during the installation of the connecting component 3, effectively preventing the connector from shifting or loosening during use and enhancing the stability and safety of the overall structure. The mounting ring 13 has threaded holes 131 on its side, facilitating the secure connection of the fixing component to the seedling using bolts or screws. This not only facilitates installation and disassembly but also allows for tightness adjustment according to actual needs, improving the adaptability and ease of operation of the device.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixing component 2 includes a fixing block 21, a mating hole 22, a threaded post 23, and a locking block 24. The fixing block 21 is located at the outer end of the fixing component 2, serving as a structure that contacts the external environment and provides initial support. Its material is typically a high-strength, corrosion-resistant material to adapt to outdoor use conditions. The mating hole 22 is located on the side of the fixing block 21, used for precise positioning and connection with other structural components, ensuring the stability of the fixing block 21 during installation. The threaded post 23 is installed on the inner side of the fixing block 21, and its threaded structure allows for a tight connection with the mounting ring 13 or other fasteners, providing a stable locking force. The locking block 24 is located at the other end of the threaded post 23, used to further fix the position of the threaded post 23 after connection is completed, preventing loosening due to vibration or wind during use, effectively improving the reliability and durability of the entire device.

[0040] The mating hole 22 is designed with a cross-shaped structure. This shape facilitates multi-angle and multi-directional component insertion and positioning, enhancing the adaptability and installation flexibility of the device. It also provides a more stable fit, preventing rotation or displacement. The locking block 24 is designed as an arc-shaped block. The arc-shaped structure better conforms to the surface of the seedling or other cylindrical components, resulting in a more even distribution of force during locking, reducing the risk of damage to the seedling, and improving the stability of the fixation and the overall reliability of the device.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown, the connecting assembly 3 includes a connecting rod 31, an installation thread 32, a limiting strip 33, and a rotating groove 34. The connecting rod 31 is installed at the four corners of the mounting assembly 1, serving as a key support structure connecting the upper and lower components, and possesses good load-bearing capacity and stability. The installation thread 32 is located on the upper part of the connecting rod 31, connecting it to the rotating assembly 4 via a threaded connection, facilitating secure installation and angle adjustment, and enhancing the device's adjustment flexibility. The limiting strip 33 is installed on the lower side of the connecting rod 31, preventing excessive rotation or misalignment during rotation, ensuring the reliability of the device in actual use. The rotating groove 34 is located at the bottom of the connecting rod 31, forming a rotatable fit with the support assembly 5. The support assembly 5 can rotate around this groove at a certain angle, adapting to different ground slopes or the inclination direction of the seedlings, improving the adaptability and stability of the entire straightening device.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the rotating assembly 4 includes a rotating disk 41, a rotating ring 42, and a rotating thread 43. The rotating disk 41 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting assembly 1, serving as the basic component for connecting and supporting the rotating ring 42. Its surface is rust-proofed, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. The rotating ring 42 is mounted above the rotating disk 41, achieving a tight fit with it through a nested structure. It can rotate smoothly around the central axis of the rotating disk 41, facilitating precise adjustment of the alignment angle. The rotating thread 43 is located on the inner surface of the rotating ring 42, serving as an internal helical locking mechanism. It can achieve a high-strength screw connection with the mounting bolt or threaded post 23. After adjustment, tightening the rotating thread 43 securely locks the rotating ring 42 in the designated position, effectively preventing displacement or loosening caused by external interference and improving the overall stability and safety of the device.

[0043] The outer surface of the rotating ring 42 is uniformly provided with multiple rotating slots 421, which are arranged in an array along the circumference of the rotating ring 42 to form a ring distribution structure. This helps to achieve better operating feel and precise control when adjusting the angle of the device. The cross-sectional shape of each rotating slot 421 is circular. This design not only facilitates the insertion of tools or fingers for rotational operation, but also reduces edge wear and extends service life. The circular slots also provide a uniform force distribution point, making operation smoother and less prone to slippage, while enhancing the structural integrity of the rotating ring 42. In actual use, the user can insert a rotating tool into the circular slot and apply rotational force to complete the angle adjustment. After adjustment, it can be locked by the internal thread structure to ensure that the rotating ring 42 remains stable under external force, thereby improving the ease of use and reliability of the entire seedling straightening device.

[0044] like Figure 5As shown, the support assembly 5 includes a rotating rod 51 and a support rod 52. The rotating rod 51 is installed below the connecting assembly 3 and is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 3 via a bearing structure or a rotating shaft connection, allowing the support assembly 5 to rotate and adjust within a certain angle range to adapt to different terrains or seedling tilt angles. This rotating structure facilitates quick on-site adjustment of the support posture, improving operational flexibility. The support rod 52 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating rod 51. Its main function is to directly contact the ground, providing vertical support force and maintaining the stability and uprightness of the entire device. The length of the support rod 52 can be adjusted or replaced according to different seedling heights or terrain conditions to enhance the adaptability of the device. The connection structure between the rotating rod 51 and the support rod 52 is designed to be detachable, facilitating transportation and maintenance, while ensuring the load-bearing capacity and anti-overturning ability of the device during use, improving the overall practicality and reliability of the seedling straightening device.

[0045] In the operation of this utility model, the operator attaches the installation component 1 to the outside of the seedling. The installation plate 11 is composed of two symmetrical parts and is connected and fixed by bolts or other means. The installation plate 11 is set horizontally, and the entire fixing component 2 is rotated through the mating hole 22 so that the seedling is fixed in the middle position of the installation ring 13. Multiple locking blocks 24 fix the main trunk of the seedling.

[0046] The staff will pass the upper part of the connecting component 3 through the mounting ring 13 and install the rotating component 4 on the connecting component 3. By rotating the rotating ring 42, the connecting component 3 will be fixed by the cooperation of the rotating thread 43 and the mounting thread 32, so that the connecting component 3 is fixed on the mounting plate 11. The position of the support rod 52 will be adjusted by rotating the rod 51, thereby ensuring the stability of the seedling uprighting.

[0047] Various modifications to this disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein, but should be given the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein. Although one or more exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
