Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden tree seedling planting, specifically a temporary support structure for garden tree seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Planting saplings is an important part of landscape design. Because saplings have underdeveloped root systems, they generally need to be stabilized with support devices during planting to prevent them from falling over during growth. However, existing tree support devices generally have a large base to ensure stability, and the base is connected to the trunk by support rods. Since the spacing between saplings is generally small, the use of existing tree support devices is limited, and the open space between adjacent saplings is not convenient for setting up existing tree support devices.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model. As used herein, the terms up and down and left and right are not limited to their strict geometric definitions, but include tolerances for reasonable and inconsistent machining or human errors. The specific features of this temporary support structure for garden seedlings are described in detail below:

[0022] One embodiment of this utility model:

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a temporary support structure for garden seedlings, including a support rod 10. The upper end of the support rod 10 is rotatably connected to a binding component for fixing the branches of the seedling. The lower end of the support rod 10 is rotatably provided with a base 30. An insert plate 31 is fixed on the lower end surface of the base 30. The lower end of the support rod 10 is inserted into the ground through the insert plate 31 and fixed to the ground, thereby supporting the branches of the seedling. A positioning component is fixed on the base 30 for limiting the angle between the support rod 10 and the base 30.

[0024] Reference Figure 4The positioning assembly includes a guide seat 40, a slider 42, a screw 43, a piston cylinder 50, a pull rod 51, and a piston 54. The guide seat 40 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 30. The slider 42 slides within the guide seat 40. The left end of the slider 42 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the support rod 10. The screw 43 is threadedly connected to the right end of the slider 42. The left end of the guide seat 40 can abut against the support rod 10. The piston 54 is slidably connected within the piston cylinder 50. The pull rod 51 is fixed to the piston 54. The left end of the pull rod 51 is rotatably connected to the support rod 10. The right end of the piston cylinder 50 is rotatably connected to a hinge seat 52, which is fixed to the guide seat 40. The sliding of the slider 42 can change the tilt angle of the support rod 10. The air pressure in the sealed cavity 55 can cause the piston 54 to slide and generate resistance, thereby causing the pull rod 51 to exert a pulling force on the support rod 10, thus ensuring that the support rod 10 remains tilted.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 The projection of the insert plate 31 on the horizontal plane is in the shape of a cross. The lower end of the insert plate 31 tapers inward. The cross-shaped insert plate 31 makes it stable after being inserted into the soil.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 A guide groove 44 is provided inside the guide seat 40. The guide groove 44 is open at the left end. The length of the slider 42 is half the length of the guide groove 44. The slider 42 slides in the guide groove 44. A threaded hole is provided inside the right end face of the slider 42. The screw 43 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The right end of the screw 43 passes through the right side wall of the guide groove 44 and is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the guide groove 44. A knob 41 is fixed at the right end of the screw 43. Rotating the screw 43 can accurately adjust the sliding distance of the slider 42, thereby controlling the tilt angle of the support rod 10. At the same time, under the self-locking action of the screw 43 and the slider 42, the slider 42 can be kept stationary.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 There is a gap between the upper sidewall of the guide groove 44 and the upper end face of the slider 42. The thickness of the support rod 10 is the same as the thickness of the slider 42. The left end of the upper sidewall of the guide groove 44 is rounded. The gap between the slider 42 and the upper sidewall of the guide groove 44 can increase the distance between the left end of the guide groove 44 and the abutment position of the support rod 10 and the rotation center of the support rod 10, thereby increasing the smoothness of the rotation of the support rod 10.

[0028] Reference Figure 4A through groove 11 is provided on the side of the support rod 10 near the pull rod 51. A rotating ring 53 is rotatably connected in the through groove 11. The left end of the pull rod 51 is fixed to the outer circumference of the rotating ring 53. The cavity formed between the piston 54 and the left and right side walls of the sealing cavity 55 is a closed space. Since the space on the left and right sides of the piston 54 is a closed space, under the action of air pressure, there is a certain resistance when the piston 54 slides in the sealing cavity 55, which in turn provides a pulling force for the pull rod 51.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 A handle 60 is provided on the upper side of the piston cylinder 50. Four connecting rods 61 are fixedly connected between the outer periphery of the handle 60 and the guide seat 40. The handle 60 facilitates the subsequent removal of the insert plate 31 from the ground.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The binding assembly includes a buckle 20 and a binding strap 21. The buckle 20 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support rod 10. One end of the binding strap 21 is fixed to the buckle 20, and the other end passes through the buckle 20. The binding assembly works on the same principle as a cable tie. After the binding strap 21 is bound to the tree trunk, the limiting component inside the buckle 20 can restrict the binding strap 21 from resetting and expanding. If the binding strap 21 needs to reset and expand, the limiting component inside the buckle 20 needs to be pressed until it is disengaged from the binding strap 21.

[0031] When using this utility model, after the garden saplings are planted, the insertion plate 31 is inserted into the ground according to the approximate position of the sapling's roots. The insertion plate 31 is positioned close to the sapling's roots, so that the distance between the positioning component and the sapling is minimized without damaging the sapling's roots.

[0032] At this time, rotating the knob 41 causes the screw 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 42 to move closer to the knob 41, and in turn drives the support rod 10 to move closer to the knob 41. When the support rod 10 abuts against the left end of the upper side wall of the guide groove 44, the support rod 10 rotates towards the seedling with its rotation position relative to the slider 42 as the center, until the buckle 20 at the upper end of the support rod 10 abuts against the trunk.

[0033] During this process, the support rod 10 tilts towards the sapling, causing the pull rod 51 to be pulled away from the hinge seat 52, which in turn causes the piston 54 to slide away from the hinge seat 52. As a result, the pressure in the sealed space on the left side of the piston 54 increases, while the pressure in the sealed space on the right side of the piston 54 decreases. This causes the pull rod 51 to exert a pulling force on the support rod 10, thereby ensuring the tilted state of the support rod 10.

[0034] Then, the binding strap 21 is tied to the trunk to support the sapling.

[0035] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications to the above embodiments can be made without departing from the overall spirit and concept of this utility model. All such modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scheme of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
