Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of landscape maintenance technology, and in particular to a tool for pruning and maintaining landscape plants. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of maintaining garden greenery, in order to meet people's aesthetic needs, it is necessary to prune and maintain the branches of trees regularly. In summer, vigorous side branches need to be pruned and removed, and in winter, the leaves on the branches need to be cleaned to prevent mold and pests. At the same time, it can also make the trees enter a dormant state quickly, more effectively conserve energy, and grow better in the following year.
[0003] However, there are no special tools for removing yellow leaves from tree branches. Usually, a handmade hook is used to scrape the branches to remove the yellow leaves, or scissors are used to cut them off directly. Although the yellow leaves can be removed, the bark will be damaged. In response to the above-mentioned technologies, the applicant proposes a special pruning tool that is convenient for cleaning yellow leaves from tree branches and will not cause damage to the bark. Utility Model Content
[0004] To facilitate the removal of yellow leaves from tree branches without damaging the bark, this application provides a garden plant maintenance and pruning tool.
[0005] The garden plant maintenance and pruning tool provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A garden plant maintenance and pruning tool includes an extension rod. The front end of the extension rod has a collar with a connecting opening on one side. The collar contains multiple sets of scraping components arranged around the center of the collar. Each scraping component includes a scraper arranged in a fan shape corresponding to the inner side of the collar. There is a gap between the scraper and the center of the collar, and the scrapers of the multiple sets of scraping components are arranged adjacent to each other to form an arc-shaped receiving groove. The receiving groove is connected to the connecting opening, and the sidewall of the scraper is rotatably connected along the radial direction of the collar. A friction strip is fixed to one side of the scraper opposite to the rotating end and extends towards the rotating end away from the scraper.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension rod allows the operator to complete the pruning work at a higher position on the ground, reducing the risks and physical exertion caused by climbing. The design of the friction strip enhances the grip during scraping, which can effectively scrape off leaves. Combined with the limiting effect of the scraper on the branches, even messy branches can be easily cleared of dead leaves.
[0008] Preferably, the scraper is provided with a rotating support structure, including a rotating bracket. The rotating bracket is fixed to the inner side of the collar and extends toward the collar axis. The scrapers are arranged in pairs corresponding to the rotating brackets. The two scrapers are sleeved on the side close to the rotating bracket and rotated radially along the collar to be connected to the rotating bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating support structure further includes support springs, which are fixed to the rotating bracket and the corresponding scraper respectively, and the support springs and the scraper are close to each other on the same horizontal plane.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the support spring not only connects the rotating bracket and the scraper, but also provides elastic support force, which allows the scraper to automatically return to its initial position after being subjected to force.
[0011] Preferably, the scraping structure further includes guide wheels, which are rotatably connected to one side of the scraper relative to the rotating bracket along the radial direction of the collar, and the guide wheels are located on the front side of the scraper, while the friction strip is fixed to the scraper and located behind the guide wheels.
[0012] Preferably, the friction strips on the scraper extend in opposite directions and are arranged adjacent to each other, and are offset radially along the collar.
[0013] Preferably, the extension rod is provided with a reversing structure, which includes a reversing rod, a slot, and a pin. The reversing rod is rotatably connected to the front end of the extension rod, and the rotation axis of the reversing rod is perpendicular to the extension direction of the extension rod. The reversing rod can be rotated to a position perpendicular to the extension rod. The slots are fixed at intervals to the front end of the extension rod and are arranged in an arc shape along the rotation direction of the reversing rod. The pin can be inserted into any slot parallel to the rotation axis of the reversing rod, and the pin is inserted into and positions the reversing rod circumferentially along the rotation direction of the reversing rod.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the reversing rod, the insertion slot and the insertion pin can be used to position the reversing rod at different angles. The reversing rod can be rotated to a direction perpendicular to the extension rod and can be fixed in any insertion slot as required by the insertion pin. This allows the operator to flexibly adjust the working angle of the tool according to actual needs.
[0015] Preferably, the pin is magnetic and can be magnetically attracted to the insertion slot.
[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] The extension bar allows operators to perform high-level pruning work on the ground, reducing the risks and physical exertion associated with climbing. The friction strip design enhances grip during scraping, effectively removing leaves. Combined with the scraper's ability to limit the branches, even messy branches can be easily cleared of dead leaves.
[0018] The design of the support spring not only connects the rotating bracket and the scraper, but also provides elastic support force, which allows the scraper to automatically return to its initial position after being subjected to force.
[0019] By using the reversing rod, the slot, and the pin, the reversing rod can be positioned at different angles. The reversing rod can be rotated to a direction perpendicular to the extension rod and can be fixed in any desired slot by the pin. This allows the operator to flexibly adjust the working angle of the tool according to actual needs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This application discloses a garden plant maintenance and pruning tool, referring to... Figure 1 , 2 It includes an extension rod 1 for hand-held operation to increase the operating distance. The front end of the extension rod 1 is provided with a collar 2 with a connecting opening 5 on one side. The collar 2 can be directly put on the branch from the root of the branch through the connecting opening 5.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 , 3 The collar 2 contains multiple sets of scraping components 3 arranged around the center of the collar 2. Each scraping component 3 includes a scraper 31 arranged in a fan shape on the inner side of the collar 2. There is a gap between the scraper 31 and the center of the collar 2. The scraper 31 of the multiple sets of scraping components 3 are arranged adjacently and form an arc-shaped receiving groove 6. The receiving groove 6 is connected to the sleeve opening 5, so that the branch can be moved to the center of the collar 2. The side wall of the scraper 31 rotates radially along the collar 2 through the rotating support structure 4. When the collar 2 moves along the outer side of the branch, the scraper 31 can collapse backward along the rotating support structure 4, so that the branches on the branch pass through the scraper 31, thereby limiting the branch growing at any angle.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 , 3The rotating support structure 4 includes a rotating bracket 41 and a supporting spring 42. The rotating bracket 41 is fixed to the inner side of the collar 2 and extends toward the axis of the collar 2. Scrapers 31 are arranged in pairs corresponding to the rotating bracket 41. The two scrapers 31 are sleeved on the side close to the rotating bracket 41 and rotate radially along the collar 2 to be connected to the rotating bracket 41, so that the two scrapers 31 share one rotating bracket 41, thereby reducing the number of rotating brackets 41 and preventing the branching of branches from getting stuck due to too many rotating brackets 41. The supporting spring 42 is fixed to the rotating bracket 41 and the corresponding scraper 31 respectively, and the supporting spring 42 supports the scrapers 31 to be close to each other on the same horizontal plane, so that the scrapers 31 fit tightly against the branches, making the scraping structure more effective in cleaning the leaves.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 , 3 The scraping structure also includes guide wheels 33 and friction strips 32. The guide wheels 33 are rotatably connected to the scraper 31 on one side of the rotating bracket 41 along the radial direction of the collar 2, and the guide wheels 33 are located on the front side of the scraper 31. The guide wheels 33 can prevent the hard scraper 31 from scratching the bark and reduce the friction force of the scraper 31 on the bark. The friction strips 32 are fixed to the scraper 31 and located behind the guide wheels 33. The friction strips 32 extend along the side away from the rotating end of the scraper 31. The friction strips 32 can be made of materials with high friction, such as rubber, so as to provide greater friction when touching the leaves, thereby peeling off the leaves.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 , 3 Furthermore, the friction strips 32 extending in opposite directions and arranged adjacent to each other on the scraper 31 are radially offset along the collar 2, thereby reducing the gap between the scraper 31 and the friction strips 32 to half of the original gap. This makes it less likely that some thinner branches will be missed due to the elasticity of the friction strips 32.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 , 3 Since the physiological state of tree branches is upward growth, the splice opening 5 needs to always face downward to prevent the branches from detaching from the collar 2. The collar 2 keeps the splice opening 5 facing downward through the reversing structure 7 on the extension rod 1. The reversing structure 7 includes a reversing rod 71, a insertion slot 72, and an insertion pin 73. The reversing rod 71 is rotatably connected to the front end of the extension rod 1, and the rotation axis of the reversing rod 71 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the extension rod 1. The reversing rod 71 can be rotated to the vertical direction of the extension rod 1. The insertion slots 72 are fixed at intervals to the front end of the extension rod 1 and are arc-shaped along the rotation direction of the reversing rod 71. The insertion pin 73 can be inserted into any insertion slot 72 parallel to the rotation axis of the reversing rod 71, and the insertion pin 73 is inserted circumferentially along the rotation of the reversing rod 71 to position the reversing rod 71.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 ,3 When dealing with low-lying branches, the extension tube angle approaches horizontal, the collar 2 is located at the front end of the extension rod 1, and the sleeve opening 5 faces downward; when dealing with high-lying branches, the extension angle approaches vertical, the collar 2 is located on one side of the extension rod 1, and the sleeve opening 5 faces downward.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 , 3 Furthermore, the insertion pin 73 is magnetic and can be magnetically attracted to the insertion slot 72. When the insertion pin 73 is placed in the insertion slot 72, it is kept stable by magnetic attraction, thus preventing the insertion pin 73 from falling and causing damage during the operation of the extension rod 1 with the rod facing upward.
[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
