Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree transportation technology, and more specifically, to a tree transportation device for forestry engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Tree transport devices for forestry engineering are specialized equipment used in the transplanting and transportation of trees in forestry projects. Their core function is to achieve stable fixation of tree roots and trunks through structural design, preventing damage caused by shaking during transportation. They also possess the ability to adapt to different tree sizes and transportation scenarios. Currently, most tree transport devices used in forestry engineering rely on simple fixing mechanisms, such as rope binding or simple supports, to secure trees to trucks for transport. While these methods meet basic fixation requirements, they have significant drawbacks: Firstly, the tree roots lack effective protection, and during transportation, bumps and compression can easily cause the soil ball to loosen or the root system to break, directly reducing the transplant survival rate. Secondly, during long-distance transportation, the device cannot provide continuous water supply to the trees, especially in drought or high-temperature environments, where root dehydration is more pronounced, often causing trees to wither and die due to lack of water. Furthermore, simple fixing mechanisms have poor adaptability to different tree sizes, low operational efficiency, and lack auxiliary functions such as ventilation and moisture retention, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern forestry engineering for high efficiency, environmental protection, and high survival rates. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a tree transfer device for forestry engineering, which has the advantage of convenient clamping and fixing of trees.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a forestry engineering tree transfer device, comprising a placement trough, a fixing groove inside the placement trough, a sleeve block movably installed inside the fixing groove, a fixing frame fixedly installed on the top of the sleeve block, an arc-shaped clamping plate fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame, a motor fixedly installed on the right side of the placement trough, a drive gear fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, and one end of the drive gear movably installed inside the placement trough, a bidirectional screw threaded inside the sleeve block, and both ends of the bidirectional screw penetrating inside the placement trough, a driven gear fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional screw, and the driven gear meshing with the drive gear.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lower storage box is fixedly installed on the top of the placement slot, a fixed frame is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lower storage box, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame, a rotating block is movably installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, an upper storage box is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating block, a second limiting post is fixedly installed on the front of the upper storage box, a first limiting post is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lower storage box, a limiting workpiece is movably installed on the outer surface of the second limiting post, and one end of the limiting workpiece is engaged with the outer surface of the first limiting post, and a push rod is fixedly installed on the outer side of the second limiting post.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a weight-adding box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement slot, and a box door is movably installed inside the weight-adding box.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement groove, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed between the two support plates.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing rib is fixedly installed at the angle between the support plate and the fixing plate, and the reinforcing rib is triangular in shape.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support base is fixedly installed on the right side of the placement slot, and the interior of the support base presents a U-shaped groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, water inlet pipes are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of both the lower and upper storage boxes, and the water inlet pipes are made of stainless steel.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Compared with traditional devices, this utility model offers several advantages. Firstly, it is easy to operate. Simply activating the motor on the right side of the placement slot, through the meshing of the drive gear and driven gear, rotates the bidirectional screw, causing the sleeve block to move. This allows the arc-shaped clamping plate to automatically clamp and secure the tree, eliminating the need for complex manual operations. This significantly saves manpower and time, improves work efficiency, and accelerates the transfer process. Secondly, the threaded fit between the bidirectional screw and the sleeve block, along with the limiting position of the sleeve block by the fixing groove, ensures smooth and precise movement of the arc-shaped clamping plate, uniformly applying clamping force to firmly secure the tree and prevent shaking, displacement, or slippage during transfer, thus ensuring the safety of both the tree and the device. Furthermore, the design is reasonable and compact, with well-coordinated components, adaptable to trees of varying thicknesses, and highly versatile and practical, laying a reliable foundation for the efficient and safe transfer of trees in forestry projects.

[0013] 2. Compared with traditional devices, this utility model is more convenient and efficient to operate: When opening the upper storage box, the operator only needs to push the push rod, and with the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the rotating block, the upper storage box can be easily rotated and opened. There is no need for complicated and cumbersome operation procedures, which greatly saves time and manpower and improves the efficiency of placing or taking out tree-related items. It is also safe and reliable: After the upper storage box is rotated to the appropriate position, the upper storage box can be firmly fixed by the locking cooperation of the limiting workpiece with the first limiting post and the second limiting post, which effectively prevents it from accidentally rotating due to shaking during transportation, ensuring the safety of the trees and related items inside the box. The moisturizing function is practical: Through the stainless steel water inlet pipe fixed on the outer surface of the lower storage box and the upper storage box, water can be easily injected into the box during transportation to provide moisture for the trees. The stainless steel material also ensures the durability and corrosion resistance of the water inlet pipe, extending the service life of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a tree transfer device for forestry engineering, including a placement trough 1, a fixing trough 16 is provided inside the placement trough 1, a sleeve block 15 is movably installed inside the fixing trough 16, a fixing frame 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the sleeve block 15, an arc-shaped clamping plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 10, a motor 8 is fixedly installed on the right side of the placement trough 1, a drive gear 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 8, and one end of the drive gear 14 is movably installed inside the placement trough 1, a double-ended screw 17 is threaded inside the sleeve block 15, and both ends of the double-ended screw 17 penetrate through the interior of the placement trough 1, a driven gear 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the double-ended screw 17, and the driven gear 13 meshes with the drive gear 14.

[0025] When workers need to clamp and fix the trees inside the placement trough 1, they start the motor 8 on the right side of the placement trough 1. The output end of the motor 8 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate. Since the drive gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 13 at one end of the double-acting screw 17, the rotation of the drive gear 14 will drive the driven gear 13 and the double-acting screw 17 to rotate. The double-acting screw 17 passes through the inside of the placement trough 1 and has a sleeve 15 threaded on it. The sleeve 15 is movably installed in the fixing slot 16 opened inside the placement trough 1. When the double-acting screw 17 rotates, the sleeve 15 will move along the double-acting screw 17. A fixing frame 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the sleeve 15. An arc-shaped clamping plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 10. As the sleeve 15 moves, the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 will move closer to the tree and finally clamp and fix the tree, thereby completing the tree fixing operation for subsequent transportation work.

[0026] When clamping and securing the trees inside the placement trough 1 for subsequent transport, the motor 8 on the right side of the placement trough 1 is started first. After the motor 8 starts running, its output end drives the drive gear 14 to rotate. Since the drive gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 13 at one end of the double-acting screw 17, the rotation of the drive gear 14 will drive the driven gear 13 and the double-acting screw 17 to rotate together under the action of gear transmission. The double-acting screw 17 passes through the interior of the placement trough 1, and a sleeve block 15 is threaded onto it. The sleeve block 15 can move in the fixing groove 16 opened inside the placement trough 1. When the double-acting screw 17 rotates, the sleeve block 15 will move along the screw. A fixing frame 10 is fixed to the top of the sleeve block 15. An arc-shaped clamping plate 7 is installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 10. As the sleeve block 15 moves, the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 gradually moves closer to the tree, finally clamping and securing the tree firmly. Compared to traditional devices, this device offers superior ease of operation. Simply activating the motor 8 on the right side of the placement slot 1, along with the meshing of the drive gear 14 and driven gear 13, rotates the bidirectional screw 17, causing the sleeve block 15 to move. This allows the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 to automatically clamp and secure the tree, eliminating the need for complex manual operations. This significantly saves manpower and time, improves work efficiency, and accelerates the transfer process. In terms of stability, the threaded engagement between the bidirectional screw 17 and the sleeve block 15, combined with the limiting position of the sleeve block 15 by the fixing slot 16, ensures the smooth and precise movement of the arc-shaped clamping plate 7, uniformly applying clamping force to firmly secure the tree and prevent it from shaking, shifting, or slipping during transfer, thus ensuring the safety of both the tree and the device. Furthermore, the design is rational and compact, with well-coordinated components, adaptable to trees of varying thicknesses, and highly versatile and practical, laying a reliable foundation for the efficient and safe transfer of trees in forestry projects.

[0027] The lower storage box 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the placement slot 1. A fixed frame 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lower storage box 2. A rotating shaft 19 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 18. A rotating block 20 is movably installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 19. An upper storage box 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating block 20. A second limiting post 24 is fixedly installed on the front of the upper storage box 3. A first limiting post 22 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lower storage box 2. A limiting workpiece 23 is movably installed on the outer surface of the second limiting post 24, and one end of the limiting workpiece 23 is engaged with the outer surface of the first limiting post 22. A push rod 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the second limiting post 24.

[0028] When the forestry engineering tree transfer device is in operation, if it is necessary to open the upper storage box 3 to place or remove tree-related items, the operator can push the push rod 25 installed on the outside of the second limiting post 24. Since the upper storage box 3 is movably mounted on the rotating shaft 19 within the fixed frame 18 fixed to the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 via the rotating block 20, pushing the push rod 25 will cause the second limiting post 24 to drive the upper storage box 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft 19, thereby opening the upper storage box 3. After the upper storage box 3 rotates to the appropriate position, the limiting workpiece 23 is placed on the second limiting post 24, and one end of it is engaged with the first limiting post 22 fixed to the outer surface of the lower storage box 2, thereby fixing the upper storage box 3 and preventing it from rotating accidentally. During the transfer process, if it is necessary to moisturize the trees in the storage box, water is injected into the box through the water inlet pipe 21, which is made of stainless steel and fixed to the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 and the upper storage box 3.

[0029] When the forestry engineering tree transfer device is in operation, opening the upper storage box 3 to place or remove tree-related items is simple and orderly. The operator only needs to push the push rod 25 installed on the outside of the second limiting post 24. Because the upper storage box 3 is movably installed on the rotating shaft 19 fixed in the fixed frame 18 on the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 with the help of the rotating block 20, when the push rod 25 is pushed, the second limiting post 24 will drive the upper storage box 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft 19, thus smoothly opening it. After the upper storage box 3 rotates to the appropriate position, the limiting workpiece 23 is put on the second limiting post 24, and one end of it is locked onto the first limiting post 22 fixed on the outer surface of the lower storage box 2, which can securely fix the upper storage box 3 and prevent it from rotating accidentally during the transfer. In addition, if it is necessary to keep the trees in the storage box moist during the transfer process, water can be injected into the box using the water inlet pipe 21, which is made of stainless steel and fixed on the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 and the upper storage box 3. The stainless steel material ensures that the water inlet pipe is moist. Compared to traditional devices, this device is more convenient and efficient to operate: when opening the upper storage box 3, the operator only needs to push the push rod 25, and with the cooperation of the rotating shaft 19 and the rotating block 20, the upper storage box 3 can be easily rotated and opened. There is no need for complicated and cumbersome operation procedures, which greatly saves time and manpower and improves the efficiency of placing or taking out tree-related items. It is also secure and reliable: after the upper storage box 3 is rotated to the appropriate position, the upper storage box 3 can be firmly fixed by the locking cooperation of the limiting workpiece 23 with the first limiting post 22 and the second limiting post 24, which effectively prevents it from rotating accidentally due to shaking during transportation, ensuring the safety of the trees and related items inside the box. The moisturizing function is practical: through the stainless steel water inlet pipe 21 fixed on the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 and the upper storage box 3, water can be easily injected into the box during transportation to provide moisture for the trees. The stainless steel material also ensures the durability and corrosion resistance of the water inlet pipe 21, extending the service life of the device.

[0030] The bottom of the placement slot 1 is fixedly equipped with a weight-adding box 11, and the inside of the weight-adding box 11 is movably equipped with a box door 12.

[0031] The staff member holds the door 12 to open the inside of the weight-adding box 11, and then puts the counterweight blocks into the inside of the weight-adding box 11 to ensure that the placement slot 1 is balanced during use, thereby improving the efficiency of the placement slot 1.

[0032] Among them, a support plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement groove 1, and a fixing plate 5 is fixedly installed between the two support plates 4.

[0033] Since a fixing plate 5 is fixedly installed between the two support plates 4, the cooperation between the support plates 4 and the fixing plate 5 facilitates stable support for the placement trough 1, ensuring the stability of the placement trough 1 during transportation.

[0034] Among them, a reinforcing rib 6 is fixedly installed at the angle between the support plate 4 and the fixing plate 5, and the reinforcing rib 6 is triangular in shape.

[0035] Since the reinforcing rib 6 is triangular in shape at the angle between the support plate 4 and the fixing plate 5, and the triangle has stability, it can provide stable support for the support plate 4 and the fixing plate 5, thus ensuring the stability of the support plate 4 and the fixing plate 5 during use.

[0036] The right side of the placement slot 1 is fixedly equipped with a support base 9, and the interior of the support base 9 is in the form of a U-shaped groove.

[0037] Because the inside of the support base 9 is in the form of a U-shaped groove on the right side of the placement groove 1, and the inside of the support base 9 is in close contact with the outer surface of the motor 8, it is convenient to provide stable support for the motor 8, reduce the instability of the motor 8 during use, and extend the service life of the support base 9.

[0038] Both the lower storage box 2 and the upper storage box 3 are fixedly equipped with water inlet pipes 21, and the water inlet pipes 21 are made of stainless steel.

[0039] Since the lower storage box 2 and the upper storage box 3 are fixedly installed with water inlet pipes 21, and the water inlet pipes 21 are made of stainless steel, the stainless steel water inlet pipes 21 have strong corrosion resistance and are easy to use for a long time. At the same time, it is convenient for staff to pour water into the bottom of the tree roots through the water inlet pipes 21.

[0040] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0041] When workers need to clamp and fix the trees inside the placement trough 1, they start the motor 8 on the right side of the placement trough 1. The output end of the motor 8 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate. Since the drive gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 13 at one end of the double-acting screw 17, the rotation of the drive gear 14 will drive the driven gear 13 and the double-acting screw 17 to rotate. The double-acting screw 17 passes through the inside of the placement trough 1 and has a sleeve 15 threaded on it. The sleeve 15 is movably installed in the fixing slot 16 opened inside the placement trough 1. When the double-acting screw 17 rotates, the sleeve 15 will move along the double-acting screw 17. A fixing frame 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the sleeve 15. An arc-shaped clamping plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 10. As the sleeve 15 moves, the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 will move closer to the tree and finally clamp and fix the tree, thereby completing the tree fixing operation for subsequent transportation work.

[0042] When the forestry engineering tree transfer device is in operation, if it is necessary to open the upper storage box 3 to place or remove tree-related items, the operator can push the push rod 25 installed on the outside of the second limiting post 24. Since the upper storage box 3 is movably mounted on the rotating shaft 19 within the fixed frame 18 fixed to the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 via the rotating block 20, pushing the push rod 25 will cause the second limiting post 24 to drive the upper storage box 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft 19, thereby opening the upper storage box 3. After the upper storage box 3 rotates to the appropriate position, the limiting workpiece 23 is placed on the second limiting post 24, and one end of it is engaged with the first limiting post 22 fixed to the outer surface of the lower storage box 2, thereby fixing the upper storage box 3 and preventing it from rotating accidentally. During the transfer process, if it is necessary to moisturize the trees in the storage box, water is injected into the box through the water inlet pipe 21, which is made of stainless steel and fixed to the outer surface of the lower storage box 2 and the upper storage box 3.
