Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tree trunk whitening technology, specifically a tree trunk whitening spraying device. Background Technology
[0002] Whitewashing tree trunks is an important and fundamental task in urban greening and road landscape maintenance. Whitewashing not only beautifies the landscape, enhancing the visual appeal of trees along roadsides, with uniformly whitewashed trees becoming part of the roadside scenery, but also has many practical functions. For example, it reflects sunlight, reducing the damage to trees from diurnal temperature variations and preventing frost damage. Simultaneously, it effectively kills bacteria and insect eggs in bark crevices, reducing the probability of pests and diseases invading trees, ensuring healthy tree growth, and reducing urban greening maintenance costs and resource consumption.
[0003] Currently, research in the field of tree trunk spraying equipment is still in its early stages, and existing equipment has significant limitations. When dealing with trees with branching structures, the complex distribution of branches makes it difficult for spraying equipment to accurately and comprehensively cover the branching areas for continuous operation, often resulting in missed or uneven whitewashing in certain areas. For trees growing at an angle, existing mechanized equipment cannot flexibly adapt to their specific angles, easily leading to inconsistent whitewash thickness during spraying, affecting the whitewashing effect and protective function. This makes it impossible to complete continuous mechanized operations efficiently and with high quality when dealing with diverse tree forms, greatly restricting the efficiency and quality improvement of urban greening and road landscape maintenance work.
[0004] Furthermore, after each pause in spraying, excess white paint residue at the nozzles drips off due to gravity. This dripping paint not only creates stains on the ground, affecting the aesthetics of the road and increasing the labor and time costs of subsequent cleaning, but also wastes materials, raising the overall operating cost.
[0005] Therefore, a tree trunk whitening spraying device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a tree trunk whitening spraying device, including a traveling vehicle 1, on the surface of which a spraying component 2 is installed;
[0026] The spraying assembly 2 includes a mixing mechanism 21. The mixing mechanism 21 is mounted on the surface of the traveling vehicle 1. A bracket 22 is mounted on one side of the traveling vehicle 1. A lead screw 23 is rotatably connected to the surface of the bracket 22. An adjusting frame 24 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 23. A clamping mechanism 29 is mounted on one side of the adjusting frame 24. A nozzle 210 is mounted at the clamping bar of the clamping mechanism 29. The mixing mechanism 21 is connected to the nozzle 210 through a pump and a pipe. A leak-collecting assembly 3 is mounted on the surface of the adjusting frame 24. The position of the nozzle 210 can be flexibly adjusted according to the different heights of the tree trunk, ensuring that the whitewash can be sprayed evenly at different heights of the tree trunk. This improves the applicability of the device and allows for easy adjustment of the angle of the nozzle 210, enabling it to be better aligned with the tree trunk, ensuring the whitewashing effect, avoiding spraying dead corners, and improving the quality and uniformity of the whitewashing.
[0027] Specifically, a servo motor 26 is installed at the top of the bracket 22, and a gear 27 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 26. The gear 27 is rotatably connected to the top of the bracket 22. One end of the lead screw 23 passes through the bracket 22 and is connected to a gear 28 located outside the bracket 22. The gear 27 and the gear 28 mesh, which facilitates the operator to perform drive processing.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjustment frame 24 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 25 opened on the surface of the bracket 22, which can stabilize the moving position of the adjustment frame 24.
[0029] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism 21 includes a stirring rod, a stirring tank, and a motor.
[0030] It is worth noting that the clamping mechanism 29 includes multiple links and support plates, and the multiple links and support plates are connected by a hinge.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the leakage receiving assembly 3 includes a connecting frame 31. The connecting frame 31 is symmetrically mounted on the surface of the adjusting frame 24. A guide rod 32 is slidably connected in the through hole opened on the surface of the connecting frame 31. One end of the guide rod 32 passes through the connecting frame 31 and extends to the outside of the clamping mechanism 29, and is connected to the receiving box 33 set at the bottom of the clamping mechanism 29. A ramp plate 34 is installed on the surface of the receiving box 33. The bottom end of the ramp plate 34 is located on the side of the feed port opened on the surface of the receiving box 33. When the whitening agent drips from the nozzle 210, it will fall on the ramp plate 34 and then enter the receiving box 33 along the ramp plate 34, effectively collecting the dripping whitening agent and preventing it from dripping onto the ground, causing waste and environmental pollution. The whitening agent collected in the receiving box 33 can be recycled and reused, reducing costs. At the same time, it also keeps the work site clean and reduces the amount of cleaning work later.
[0032] It is worth emphasizing that hydraulic rods 35 are symmetrically installed on one side surface of the connecting frame 31. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 35 passes through the connecting frame 31 and is connected to the receiving box 33, which makes it convenient for operators to use.
[0033] The structure of the electric motor is existing technology and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The wiring diagram of the motor in this utility model is common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is already known technology. The appropriate model is selected based on actual use; therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motor will not be explained in detail.
[0034] Working principle and process: Pour the prepared lime and water into the mixing tank of the mixing mechanism 21. Start the motor of the mixing mechanism 21 to drive the mixing rod to stir the lime and water, ensuring that the lime and water are mixed evenly. Start the servo motor 26. The output end of the servo motor 26 drives the gear 1 27 to rotate. Since the gear 1 27 meshes with the gear 28, the gear 28 will rotate with the rotation of the gear 1 27. The gear 28 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate. Because the adjusting frame 24 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 23 and slidably connected to the slide rail 2 on the surface of the bracket 22, the adjustment frame 24 rotates. 5. The rotation of the lead screw 23 will cause the adjusting frame 24 to move up and down on the support 22, thereby adjusting the height of the nozzle 210 to a suitable position to adapt to tree trunks of different heights. The pump is started to transport the whitewash mixed in the mixing mechanism 21 to the nozzle 210 through the pipeline. The multiple connecting rods and support plates of the clamping mechanism 29 are connected by hinges to form an adjustable structure to clamp and fix the nozzle 210. The angle of the nozzle 210 is adjusted to align it with the tree trunk. The traveling vehicle 1 moves slowly and the nozzle 210 sprays whitewash to whitewash the tree trunk.
[0035] After the spraying is completed, the hydraulic rod 35 on the connecting frame 31 is activated. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 35 drives the receiving box 33 to move. At this time, the guide rod 32 slides in the through hole on the surface of the connecting frame 31 to ensure the stability of the movement of the receiving box 33. The whitening agent dripping from the nozzle 210 will fall on the ramp plate 34. The slope of the ramp plate 34 guides the whitening agent to the feed port on the surface of the receiving box 33 and enters the receiving box 33, avoiding the whitening agent from dripping onto the ground and causing waste and pollution.
[0036] The clamping mechanism 29 adopts a manually adjustable mechanism. The clamping mechanism 29 on one side is manually driven. It is driven by a pair of gears with the same module and the same number of teeth. At this time, multiple linkages on the clamping mechanism 29 are also opened, thus realizing the scheme of coordinated action of the clamping bars on both sides. After moving to the correct position, the clamping mechanism 29 is locked by bolts to fix the position of the clamping mechanism 29.
