Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bonsai plant shaping molds, specifically relating to a small-diameter bonsai plant shaping mold. Background Technology
[0002] Bonsai is a microcosm of nature, a comprehensive art form that integrates gardening, literature, painting, and other arts. Bonsai artists use creative techniques and reasonable layouts to cultivate trees and flowers with specific artistic shapes in pots of varying depths, lengths, widths, shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.
[0003] Bonsai are typically cultivated and maintained by professional bonsai designers using specialized bonsai styling tools before being sold. The bonsai styling process involves bending and shaping the main trunk using methods such as wiring or suspending weights. The bending force during wiring or suspending requires precise control; excessive force can easily damage the plant's trunk, demanding considerable skill from the operator. This is especially true for smaller plants with smaller diameters, whose trunks are easily broken during bending. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a small-diameter bonsai plant shaping mold to solve the problem that the main trunk of bonsai plants is easily broken during the shaping process and is inconvenient to operate.
[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:
[0006] A small-diameter bonsai plant shaping mold includes four support rods, and a shaping component is slidably connected to the four support rods. The number of shaping components is at least two. The shaping component includes two symmetrically arranged support plates. The two ends of the support plates are provided with sliding sleeves for fitting onto the support rods. The sliding sleeves are provided with an anti-slip rubber layer. A bending rod is slidably connected between the two support plates. The two ends of the bending rod are provided with limiting shafts. The support plates are provided with sliding grooves for the limiting shafts to slide. The limiting shafts pass through the sliding grooves and extend to the outside of the support plates. A nut is threadedly connected to the outward end of the limiting shaft.
[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention has made the following improvements:
[0008] Furthermore, a connecting rod is provided between two adjacent support rods, and the support rods have insertion holes for inserting the connecting rods. This facilitates the quick arrangement of the support rods into a square shape, making it convenient to install the shaping components.
[0009] Furthermore, a counterweight is provided at the bottom of the support rod, and the weight of the counterweight is greater than the weight of the support rod. The support rod can remain upright in its natural state, facilitating the insertion of connecting rods.
[0010] Furthermore, a sponge sleeve is slidably connected to the curved stem. This prevents pits from appearing on the main stem during subsequent plant growth.
[0011] Furthermore, the number of shaping components is at least four, and the shaping components are divided into two groups. The bending rods of one group of shaping components are perpendicular to the bending rods of the other group of shaping components. This prevents the main stem from sliding along the axial direction of the bending rods.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By sliding the support plate up and down and the bending rod horizontally, the main stem of the plant can be bent at any position in the internal space of the four support rods, which is convenient to adjust according to the shape requirements. When bending, you only need to slowly push the bending rod and the support plate to make the main stem of the plant bend. The operation is more convenient, the force is better controlled, and the risk of the main stem of the plant being broken is reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown
[0022] A small-diameter bonsai plant shaping mold includes four support rods 1 arranged in a square. A shaping component 2 is slidably connected to the four support rods 1. The number of shaping components 2 is at least two. The shaping component 2 is I-shaped. The bonsai is placed inside the four support rods 1. The shaping component 2 is used to bend the main stem of the plant. With the bending of at least two shaping components 2, the main stem of the plant can bend and grow.
[0023] The shaping component 2 includes two symmetrically arranged support plates 21. Each support plate 21 has a sliding sleeve 22 at both ends for mounting on the support rod 1. The sliding sleeve 22 is slidably connected to the support rod 1. The sliding sleeve 22 has an anti-slip rubber layer inside to prevent it from sliding freely downwards under gravity. A bending rod 23 is slidably connected between the two support plates 21. Each end of the bending rod 23 has a limiting shaft 24, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the bending rod 23. The support plates 21 have a sliding groove 25 for the limiting shaft 24 to slide. The limiting shaft 24 passes through the sliding groove 25 and extends to the outside of the support plate 21. A nut 26 is threaded onto the outward-facing end of the limiting shaft 24. By tightening the nut 26, the bending rod 23 can be fixed to the two support plates 21. With the cross-cooperation of the two shaping components 2, the main stem of the plant can be bent and shaped.
[0024] The support plate 21 of this design can slide up and down along the support rod 1, and the bending rod 23 can slide along the support plate 21, so that the main stem of the plant can be bent at any position in the internal space of the four support rods 1. It can be adjusted at will according to the shape requirements. When bending, you only need to slowly push the bending rod 23 or the entire shaping component 2 to make the main stem of the plant bend. The operation is more convenient, the force is better controlled, and the risk of the main stem of the plant being broken is reduced.
[0025] Specifically, a connecting rod 3 is provided between two adjacent support rods 1. The support rod 1 is provided with a hole for inserting the connecting rod 3. Under the action of the four connecting rods 3, the support rod 1 can be quickly shaped into a square shape, so that the shaping component 2 can be fitted onto the support rod 1.
[0026] Specifically, a counterweight 4 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 1. The weight of the counterweight 4 is greater than the weight of the support rod 1. Under the action of the counterweight 4, the support rod 1 can also be in an upright state in its natural state, which is convenient for insertion and installation operations.
[0027] Specifically, a sponge sleeve 27 is slidably connected to the bent rod 23. The sponge sleeve 27 can act as a buffer to prevent the main stem from developing pits during the subsequent growth of the plant.
[0028] Specifically, the number of shaping components 2 is at least four. The shaping components 2 are divided into two groups and are arranged in a cross manner. The bending rods 23 of one group of shaping components 2 are perpendicular to each other with the bending rods 23 of the other group of shaping components 2. With the cooperation of the four bending rods 23 arranged in a cross manner, the main stem of the plant can be prevented from sliding along the axis of the bending rods 23, resulting in a better shaping effect.
[0029] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Install the shaping component 2 on the support rod 1, place the bonsai plant inside the four support rods 1, slide the support plate 21 up and down according to the shaping needs, and adjust the position of the bending rod 23 so that the bending rod 23 is located at the position where the main stem of the plant needs to be bent. Then tighten the screw to fix the bending rod 23 on the support plate 21, thereby playing a shaping role. The entire shaping design only requires slowly moving the bending rod 23, which is very convenient to operate, makes it easier to control the force, and reduces the risk of the main stem of the plant being broken.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
