[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree planting technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tool for pruning fruit tree branches. Background Technology
[0002] In fruit tree cultivation, regular pruning of branches and trunks is a crucial step in ensuring healthy tree growth and improving fruit yield and quality. Currently, traditional fruit tree pruning largely relies on manual labor using tools such as scissors and saws. This manual pruning method has several drawbacks. Firstly, manual operation is inefficient and labor-intensive, especially for taller branches, where operators need to use ladders and other auxiliary tools, increasing the difficulty and posing certain safety risks. Secondly, existing pruning aids are not conveniently adjustable in terms of height, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to different tree heights and branch positions. Furthermore, the automation level of pruning is low, limiting the precision and effectiveness of the pruning process. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fruit tree pruning aid machine that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1-5The present invention provides an auxiliary tool for pruning fruit tree branches, including a base column 1, and further including: a handle 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the base column 1, an electric telescopic rod 3 provided at the top of the base column 1, and a pruning device 4 provided at the top of the electric telescopic rod 3.
[0033] The trimming device 4 includes a mounting block 5 fixed to the top of the electric telescopic rod 3, a groove 6 opened on the top of the mounting block 5, and a slider 7 slidably connected in the groove 6. The top of the mounting block 5 and the slider 7 are fixed with corresponding cutting blades 8. It also includes a motor 9, which is fixed to one side wall of the groove 6. A screw 10 is fixed to the output end of the motor 9. The screw 10 is threaded through the slider 7. The other end of the screw 10 is rotatably connected to the other side wall of the groove 6 through a bearing.
[0034] The handle 2 is equipped with a control button 12 that is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 3 and the motor 9.
[0035] In this embodiment, specifically, the cross-sections of the slide groove 6 and the slider 7 are trapezoidal structures corresponding to each other, and the trapezoidal side of the slider 7 slides in cooperation with the trapezoidal inner wall of the slide groove 6. The inner wall of the slide groove 6 is provided with a lubricating coating 13, and the inner surface of the handle 2 is covered with an anti-slip layer 14. The anti-slip layer 14 is made of silicone material and has a wavy anti-slip texture.
[0036] In this embodiment, specifically, the electric telescopic rod 3 is connected to the base column 1 by a thread, and the cutting blade 8 on the top of the mounting block 5 and the cutting blade 8 on the top of the slider 7 are set facing each other.
[0037] In this embodiment, the cutting blade 8 is made of 420 stainless steel and the surface is hardened. The motor 9 is a DC geared motor. The cutting blade 8 is detachably connected to the mounting block 5 and the slider 7 by bolts.
[0038] When this utility model is in operation:
[0039] 1. Height adjustment:
[0040] The control button 12 on the operating handle 2 controls the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 3. The electric telescopic rod 3 is connected to the base post 1 by threads. Its extension or retraction causes the pruning device 4 to move vertically, adapting to fruit tree branches of different heights, such as low lateral branches or high main branches. No ladder is required, reducing the safety risks of operation and increasing the coverage of the pruning range.
[0041] 2. Pruning work:
[0042] Blade drive: Starter motor 9 is a DC geared motor powered by a rechargeable battery inside the base column 1. The screw 10 at the output end of motor 9 rotates. The screw 10 is threadedly engaged with slider 7, pushing slider 7 to slide within the groove 6. The groove 6 and slider 7 have a trapezoidal cross-section to prevent slider from dislodging and ensure motion stability. The inner wall of the groove is provided with a lubricating coating 13 to reduce friction loss.
[0043] Cutting action: The blades 8 on the top of the mounting block 5 and the slider 7 are set at an angle of 45°-60° and face each other. They are made of 420 stainless steel and are hardened. They are sharp and durable. They move with the slider 7 to achieve closed cutting, replacing manual force, reducing labor intensity and improving pruning accuracy. For example, branches with a diameter of ≤5cm can be cut quickly and the cut is flat.
[0044] 3. Operational comfort:
[0045] The anti-slip layer 14 on the outer surface of the handle 2 is made of rubber / silicone material with a thickness of 2-3mm. The wavy texture on the surface increases the grip friction, so that the machine can be stably operated even in wet and slippery environments or during long-term operation, avoiding safety accidents caused by slipping. At the same time, it improves grip comfort and conforms to ergonomic design to reduce hand fatigue.
[0046] 4. Maintenance and Expansion:
[0047] Component connections: The electric telescopic rod 3 and the base column 1, and the cutting blade 8 and the mounting block 5 / slider 7 are all connected by detachable connections such as threads and bolts, which facilitates fault repair or component replacement, such as quick disassembly and assembly after blade wear.
[0048] Protective design: The trimming device 4 can be equipped with a protective cover on the outside, which can be opened and closed by magnetic attraction. When not in use, it covers the blade to prevent accidental scratches and improve the safety of the machine when stored.
[0049] In summary, this machine achieves height adjustment and automatic pruning through an electrically controlled telescopic rod and motor drive. Combined with structural optimizations such as anti-slip features, trapezoidal grooves, and lubricating coatings, it features labor-saving operation, safety, high efficiency, and convenient maintenance. It is suitable for fine pruning of fruit tree branches in orchards, gardens, and other similar settings.
[0050] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
