Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape construction technology, specifically to a root ball holder for tree transplanting. Background Technology

[0002] Early tree transplantation relied heavily on experience. For example, in ancient Chinese gardens, precious trees were transplanted using a simple method of "shaping the root ball with soil," where the soil ball was simply tied with straw rope. In the 20th century, with advancements in plant physiology and mechanical technology, root ball techniques gradually became systematized, forming standardized procedures. The root system is a crucial organ for trees to absorb water and nutrients. The root ball preserves the capillary roots and mycorrhizal symbiotic system in the rhizosphere soil, reducing "root shock" after transplanting. Wrapping techniques maintain the physical structure of the root ball, preventing it from disintegrating due to vibration or compression during transportation.

[0003] In existing technologies, workers typically perform preliminary wrapping while digging up tree roots, at which point the tree is still upright, and the amount of roots dug up is wrapped at the same time. Alternatively, when using mechanized tools for wrapping, existing technologies involve placing the dug-up tree with its root ball intact vertically in a root ball holder, which clamps the trunk to secure it and facilitates the wrapping process.

[0004] As described above, whether it is manual synchronous wrapping or mechanical clamping wrapping, the root ball of a tree usually needs to bear the weight from the trunk, which makes the root system susceptible to pressure and damage, and the root ball is also very easy to loosen.

[0005] In view of the above, in order to overcome the above technical problems, this utility model designs a root ball holder for tree transplanting, which solves the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical objective of this invention is to reduce the downward pressure on the soil ball during the soil ball clamping operation by supporting the transplanted tree at an angle and laying the tree down. This solves the problem that the soil ball is prone to loosening during the clamping operation in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model provides a root ball holder for tree transplanting, including a support base and a clamping bracket. The support base is provided with a mounting rod at the top, and a push slider is slidably mounted on the mounting rod at intervals on both sides. The push slider slides linearly along the mounting rod. The clamping bracket is rotatably mounted on the support base, and the front end of the clamping bracket is hinged to the mounting rod and is provided with a support part for supporting the root ball of the tree.

[0009] The clamping bracket is connected to the pushing slider via a rocking link in the middle. The pushing slider drives the rocking link to rotate through linear sliding, thereby driving the clamping bracket to rotate. The clamping bracket rotates and lifts around the hinge at the front end by an angle of 50-80 degrees. A clamping claw is also rotatably installed at the rear end of the clamping bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner side of the mounting frame pole is provided with a gap for accommodating the tree trunk, and a connecting truss is installed within the gap and on the mounting frame pole.

[0011] Meanwhile, the connecting trusses are spaced apart, the clamping bracket is hinged to the inner side of the mounting frame rod, and auxiliary trusses are installed on the clamping bracket to help support the tree trunk.

[0012] The supporting part is shaped like a "spoon" and includes a supporting spoon at the bottom and a shaping spoon at the rear. The supporting spoon is used to support the weight of the tree when it is standing upright, and the shaping spoon is used to support the weight of the tree when it falls down.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping claws include multiple spaced-apart arc-shaped claws.

[0014] Furthermore, auxiliary rollers are installed between the arc-shaped claws.

[0015] The mounting bracket rod is equipped with a push cylinder, and the drive end of the push cylinder is connected to the push slider.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of support guide columns are installed at the lower end of the mounting frame rod, the support guide columns are connected to the support base plate, an extension seat is also installed on the support guide column at the front end of the mounting frame rod, and a movable wheel is installed at the bottom of the support base plate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. This utility model supports the root ball of a tree by using the supporting part on the clamping bracket, ensuring that the vertical pressure on the root ball is supported. At the same time, the angled setting of the clamping bracket distributes the weight of the tree trunk. By rotating the clamping claws to clamp the tree trunk, the clamping bracket can cause the tree to fall down, making the tree trunk lie flat, thereby achieving a flat wrapping of the root ball, reducing the pressure on the root ball, and making the root ball formation effect more complete.

[0019] 2. This utility model provides support and shaping for the root ball of a tree by setting a support spoon and a shaping spoon on the support part, thereby supporting the tree in different states. The support spoon is used to support the weight of the tree when it is upright, and the shaping spoon is used to support the weight of the tree when it falls. At the same time, the spoon shape of the support part makes it easier to shape the root ball.

[0020] 3. The bottom of this utility model is also provided with multiple support guide columns, and an extension seat is installed on the front support guide column. During the loading of trees, the weight of the front end of the support base frame is concentrated, causing the whole structure to tilt forward. Therefore, the extension seat of the support guide column provides auxiliary support to the front end of the support base frame to prevent the device from tilting forward and tipping over, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the device.

[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a root ball holder for tree transplanting, including a mounting frame 2, a supporting base plate 13, and a clamping bracket 4. Two mounting frame rods 2 are spaced apart, and the interval between the mounting frame rods 2 is used to accommodate the tree trunk. The clamping bracket 4 is also configured with two corresponding mounting frame rods 2. The front end of the clamping bracket 4 is mounted on the upper end of the corresponding position of the mounting frame rod 2 through a rotating shaft. Specifically, it is located at the front end of the mounting frame rod 2 and is higher than its upper plane, so as to ensure that the clamping bracket 4 is above the mounting frame rod 2 when the front end of the mounting frame rod 2 rotates, avoiding interference between the two, and improving the rotation efficiency of the clamping bracket 4.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotation angle between the clamping bracket 4 and the mounting rod 2 needs to exceed 50 degrees but not exceed 80 degrees, so as to ensure that when the clamping bracket 4 supports the tree, the weight of the tree trunk can be effectively distributed, and the tree trunk will not easily tip over; in this embodiment, the maximum rotation angle of the clamping bracket 4 is 80 degrees.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a push slider 3 is slidably mounted on the upper surface of the mounting rod 2. The push slider 3 is driven by a push cylinder 11 mounted at the rear end of the mounting rod 2. At the same time, a rocking link 5 is hinged to the push slider 3. The rocking link 5 is hinged to the middle position of the clamping bracket 4, so that the push cylinder 11 drives the push slider 3 to move and can further lift the clamping bracket 4 by rocking the link 5.

[0033] Conversely, such as Figure 3 As shown, the push cylinder 11 can also pull the push slider 3 to make the rocking connecting rod 5 fall down, thereby causing the clamping bracket 4 and the mounting bracket rod 2 to fold and overlap, thus realizing the operation of laying down the tree trunk.

[0034] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, four vertically spaced support guide columns 12 are installed at the bottom of the mounting pole 2. The support guide columns 12 are used to support and raise the mounting pole 2. At the same time, the front end of the mounting pole 2 is equipped with a support guide column 12 for supporting the weight of the tree on the clamping bracket 4. The support guide column 12 contacts the ground or support surface through its extension seat 121, thereby supporting the weight of the front end of the mounting pole 2 and preventing the mounting pole 2 from tilting forward and tipping over.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, the front end of the clamping bracket 4 is equipped with a spoon-shaped support part 7. The support part 7 supports and shapes the root ball of the tree. Specifically, the support part 7 is divided into a support spoon 71 at the bottom and a shaping spoon 72 at the rear. The support spoon 71 is connected to the front end of the clamping bracket 4 through the shaping spoon 72. The support spoon 71 is used to support the weight of the tree when it is upright, and the shaping spoon 72 is used to support the weight of the tree when it falls. At the same time, the spoon-shaped design of the support part 7 makes it easier to shape the root ball.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, multiple connecting trusses 21 are installed in the intervals on the inner side of the mounting rods 2 on both sides of the support base 1. The connecting trusses 21 are spaced apart and connect the mounting rods 2 on both sides, providing a support space for the tree to rotate and fall. In this embodiment, the connecting truss 21 has the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid, which provides sufficient space for the tree trunk while also providing strong connection support strength by utilizing the hypotenuse of the trapezoid.

[0037] At the same time, such as Figure 4 As shown, a clamping claw 6 is installed in the middle of the clamping bracket 4. The clamping claw 6 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the clamping bracket 4 by a rotating motor. Corresponding to the clamping claw 6, an auxiliary truss 22 is also installed on the clamping bracket 4. The auxiliary truss 22 is used to provide initial support for the tree trunk that has just been placed on the clamping bracket 4 when the clamping bracket 4 is raised, to prevent the tree trunk from slipping. When the tree trunk is placed in the middle of the clamping bracket 4, the bottom support part 7 supports the root ball of the tree, while the upper clamping claw 6 rotates inward and locks in place. Through the self-locking mechanism of the rotating motor and the limiting function of the auxiliary truss 22, the clamping claw 6 locks the tree trunk.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping claw 6 is composed of multiple arc-shaped claws 61, and multiple auxiliary rollers 62 are rotatably arranged within the intervals of the arc-shaped claws 61. When workers need to wrap or reinforce the soil ball of a fallen tree, they only need to apply rotational force to the trunk. The trunk can easily rotate because it is in contact with the auxiliary rollers 62 on the arc-shaped claws 61, thus realizing the rotational wrapping of the soil ball and improving the wrapping efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom of the support guide column 12 is installed through the support base plate 13. At the same time, four moving wheels 131 are provided at the bottom of the support base plate 13 for moving the entire device, thereby improving the mobility and convenience of the device.

[0040] In the working process of this utility model, the first step is to start the push cylinder 11 to move the push slider 3 forward and rotate the rocking connecting rod 5, thereby raising the clamping bracket 4. Then, the worker places the tree with the soil ball on the clamping bracket 4. The soil ball is placed in the support spoon 71 of the support part 7, and the trunk is placed in the middle of the inner side of the clamping bracket 4. The trunk is placed at a 10-degree offset from the vertical direction under the support of the auxiliary truss 22.

[0041] At this time, the rotating motor connected to the clamping claw 6 is activated, and the clamping claw 6 rotates inward to clamp the tree trunk. The auxiliary roller 62 on the clamping claw 6 contacts the surface of the tree trunk, and the tree trunk is locked under the limit of the clamping claw 6 and the auxiliary truss 22. Then, the push cylinder 11 is activated again to retract, pushing the slider 3 to drive the rocking connecting rod 5 to rotate, so that the clamping bracket 4 rotates and falls down. The tree trunk gradually falls into the connecting truss 21 between the two mounting brackets 2. The gap between the connecting trusses 21 can accommodate the auxiliary truss 22. Thus, the connecting truss 21 takes over the support of almost all the weight of the tree trunk from the auxiliary truss 22. In this way, the pressure on the root ball is greatly reduced, and the root ball will lie flat in the shaping spoon 72 for the worker to complete the wrapping of the root ball. The worker rotates the tree trunk, and the tree trunk rotates under the contact of the auxiliary roller 62. The root ball rotates in the shaping spoon 72 to complete the shaping and wrapping.
