Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden auxiliary products technology, and in particular to a special support for pruning large trees before transplanting. Background Technology
[0002] When transplanting large trees, the root system is damaged by digging and transportation, significantly reducing its ability to absorb water and nutrients. Pruning branches and leaves (especially densely leafed areas) can significantly reduce transpiration, preventing excessive water loss and maintaining the tree's water balance, thus improving the survival rate. After pruning, the tree's nutrient requirements decrease, and the root system no longer needs to supply nutrients to maintain a large number of branches and leaves, allowing it to devote more energy to wound healing and new root growth, accelerating root recovery. In addition, pruning diseased, weak, and crossing branches can reduce the risk of pests and diseases, optimize the tree structure, and the reduced size after pruning facilitates transportation. Although the crown volume is reduced during pruning, large trees have tall trunks and high centers of gravity, requiring additional support. Current support structures are not only complex and bulky, but also inconvenient to move and unsuitable for dense forest environments.
[0003] Therefore, to address the above shortcomings, a special support for pruning large trees before transplanting is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] A special support for pruning large trees before transplanting, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 The system includes pillars 1, supports 2, rubber sleeves 3, auxiliary rods 4, base sleeves 5, and wheels 6. The two pillars 1 are parallel in length. The X-shaped support 2 has two ends slidably connected to the top of the two pillars 1 at one end of its intersection. The rubber sleeves 3 are fitted onto the other two ends of the support 2 at its intersection. The pillars 1 are inclined in length and their bottoms rest on the ground. The rubber sleeves 3 are secured to the tree trunk. One end of the auxiliary rod 4 is rotatably connected between the support 2 pillars, and the other end of the auxiliary rod 4 is vertically downwards, resting on the ground. The base sleeve 5 is fitted onto the bottom of the pillar 1, and the wheels 6 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the base sleeve 5.
[0027] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 Both the upright column 1 and the support column 2 are cylindrical tubular structures. The upright column 1 has several limiting holes 11 spaced apart along its length, with limiting rods 12 inserted into each hole 11. Sliding rods 21, cylindrical in shape, are fixedly connected to both ends of the support column 2 near the upright column 1. The bottom of the sliding rod 21 abuts against the limiting rods 12 to restrict its downward sliding. By inserting the limiting rods 12 into the limiting holes 11 at different heights, the sliding rods 21 can extend to different lengths, thereby adjusting the overall length of the support to accommodate trees of varying lengths.
[0028] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3One end of the limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to a disc-shaped handle 13. The outer diameter of the handle 13 is larger than the diameter of the limiting hole 11, and the handle 13 facilitates the insertion and removal of the limiting rod 12. A flat limiting groove 14 is provided on the limiting rod 12, which abuts against the bottom of the sliding rod 21. The limiting groove 14 increases the contact area between the sliding rod 21 and the limiting rod 12, making it less likely for the limiting rod 12 to vibrate out of the column 1. A flat marking groove 15 is provided on the handle 13. The marking groove 15 is in the same direction and parallel to the limiting groove 14. The marking groove 15 allows the operator to quickly identify the position of the limiting groove 14, and thus quickly rotate the limiting groove 14 to the designated position.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 A cylindrical crossbar 22 is fixedly connected to both ends of the support column 2 near the upright column 1. A cylindrical sleeve 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the auxiliary rod 4, which fits onto the crossbar 22 to allow the auxiliary rod 4 to rotate and slide with the crossbar 22. A ring-shaped handle 42 is fixedly connected to the other end of the auxiliary rod 4. When support is needed and the tree is small, the auxiliary rod 4 rotates downwards so that the worm gear 42 abuts against the ground, preventing the support from falling directly to the ground due to its small angle of inclination. At the same time, the position of the auxiliary rod 4 on the crossbar 22 can be adjusted according to the terrain to better support the support. After the support is in place, the auxiliary rod 4 is rotated upwards, and by holding the handle 42 and using the wheels 6, the support can be pulled directly to move, making it easy to travel through dense forests and saving a lot of effort.
[0030] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 A machined connecting sleeve 23 is fitted onto the round tube on the side of the support column 2 closest to the upright column 1. The bottom end of the connecting sleeve 23 is cylindrical and fits onto the support column 2. The top end of the connecting sleeve 23 protrudes into a cylindrical shape and is fitted with a connecting rod 24 whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the support column 2. The connecting rod 24 passes through the round tube on another support column 2 and is fitted with a supplementary tube 26 to form an X shape. The outer diameter of the supplementary tube 26 is the same as the outer diameter of the round tube on the support column 2. This arrangement ensures that the round tubes on the support column 2 are on the same plane, avoiding the problem of cracking during transportation or support due to insufficient spot welding strength caused by the overlapping of two tubes.
[0031] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4The inner diameter of the supplementary tube 26 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 24 for easy connection. A replacement sleeve 25 is fitted over the connecting rod 24, with its outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the supplementary tube 26 for stable fixation. After installation, the supplementary tube 26 and the connecting ring of the support column 2 are spot-welded to enhance connection strength. A reinforcing part 27 is externally fixed to the connecting rod 24 between the intersection of the support column 2 and the connecting sleeve 23. The reinforcing part 27 is a two-lobed arc-shaped cylindrical component, with its outer diameter matching the outer diameter of the support column 2's circular tube. The reinforcing part 27 enhances the structural strength of the connecting rod 24. Furthermore, the reinforcing part 27 is welded to the connecting support column 2's circular tube, further strengthening the overall structure of the support column 2 and preventing structural breakage during use.
[0032] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottom sleeve 5 is a milled cylindrical sleeve. The top end of the bottom sleeve 5 is fitted over the column 1 and welded in place. The other end of the bottom sleeve 5 is slotted and rotatably connected to the wheel 6. A rotating rod 51 is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom sleeve 5, and the rotating rod 51 has a hole. When providing support, a metal rod is inserted into the rotating rod 51 and then into the ground to prevent slippage caused by relying solely on the wheel 6 for support. Simultaneously, the rotating rod 51 can remain vertically downward or in the same direction of inclination as the column 1 when it is at different tilt angles, thereby improving the applicability of the limiting mechanism.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
