Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden pruning technology, specifically to a plant crown shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping and design, pruning the crowns of plants is a crucial step in maintaining their aesthetic appeal and healthy growth. Traditional pruning methods primarily rely on manual hand-held tools, which has several limitations. Firstly, manual pruning is inefficient, especially when dealing with large areas of vegetation, consuming significant time and manpower. Secondly, the precision and consistency of manual pruning are difficult to guarantee, often resulting in irregular crown shapes that negatively impact the overall aesthetic.

[0003] While some plant pruning devices exist on the market, most products still have significant functional limitations. For example, most of these devices are single-function and cannot flexibly adapt to the pruning needs of plants of different heights, shapes, and sizes. At the same time, the adjustability and ease of operation of existing devices are insufficient, resulting in the equipment's applicability being limited to basic pruning scenarios for a long time, making it difficult to meet the diverse needs of garden pruning.

During the rotation of the two or more sub-pruning parts, a regular crown shape can be pruned, ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the green plants after pruning, improving the overall aesthetics of the garden landscape, and the pruning efficiency can be improved compared to gardeners due to the motor drive.

[0008] In this invention, the lifting component is slidably installed in the groove formed by the base, thereby driving the trimming component to move horizontally to the appropriate trimming position; the trimming component is installed on the lifting component, and the lifting component can drive the trimming component to move vertically during the lifting process, so as to adapt to green plant trimming scenarios of different heights, shapes and sizes, and achieve all-round trimming.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes a green plant crown trimming device, including: a base 1, on which a sliding groove 11 is formed; a lifting component 2, which is slidably mounted on the sliding groove 11; a trimming component 3, which is mounted on the lifting component 2, and the lifting component 2 is used to drive the trimming component 3 to move in the vertical direction; the trimming component 3 includes a first support 31 and two or more sub-trimming components 32, the first support 31 is rotatably mounted on the lifting component 2, and each sub-trimming component 32 is distributed on the first support 31; and a motor 4, which is drivenly connected to the first support 31 and can drive the first support 31 to rotate.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the usage process of this embodiment is as follows: First, move the base 1 to the green plant trimming position, then slide the lifting component 2 so that the lifting component 2 slides along the slide groove 11 to the green plant trimming position, adjust the lifting component 2 to the green plant trimming height, adjust the position of each sub-trimming component 32, start each sub-trimming component 32, start the motor 4 so that the motor 4 drives the first bracket 31 to rotate, the rotation of the first bracket 31 can drive each sub-trimming component 32 to rotate, and finally the trimming is completed.

[0044] The pruning assembly 3 includes two or more sub-pruning components 32, which are mounted on a rotatable first bracket 31. A motor 4 is connected to the first bracket 31 and drives the first bracket 31 to rotate.

During the rotation and operation of the two or more sub-pruning components 32, a regular crown shape can be pruned, ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the green plants after pruning, improving the overall aesthetics of the garden landscape. Moreover, the pruning efficiency can be improved compared to gardeners by being driven by the motor 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the lifting component 2 is slidably installed in the groove 11 formed by the base 1, thereby driving the trimming component 3 to move in the horizontal direction. The trimming component 3 is installed on the lifting component 2. During the lifting process, the lifting component 2 can drive the trimming component 3 to move in the vertical direction, and can adjust each sub-trimming component 32 in the trimming component 3 to adapt to green plant trimming scenarios of different heights, shapes and sizes.

[0046] In this preferred embodiment, the base 1 is arc-shaped to fit the shape of the green plant, and the slide groove 11 is arc-shaped to facilitate the lifting component 2 to slide along the arc of the slide groove 11, so that the pruning component 3 fits the green plant more closely and achieves all-round pruning.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, each sub-pruning component 32 includes a first telescopic rod 321 and a cutting machine 322. The first telescopic rod 321 is mounted on the first bracket 31, and the cutting machine 322 is mounted on the first telescopic rod 321.

[0048] In this preferred embodiment, the first telescopic rod 321 is an electric telescopic rod or a cylinder telescopic rod.

[0049] like Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the first support 31 has an arc-shaped structure, and the sub-pruning components 32 are distributed at intervals along the arc surface of the first support 31. With the first support 31 having an arc-shaped structure and the sub-pruning components 32 distributed at intervals along the arc surface of the first support 31, the plants can be pruned into a crown shape through the collaborative process of all pruning components 3.

[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 2 includes a second bracket 21 and a second telescopic rod 22. The second bracket 21 is slidably mounted on the slide groove 11. The bottom end of the second telescopic rod 22 is mounted on the second bracket 21, and the top end is connected to the trimming assembly 3. The second telescopic rod 22 can drive the trimming assembly 3 to move in the vertical direction.

At the same time, the second bracket 21 serves as a guide, guiding the extension and retraction direction of the second telescopic rod 22. Meanwhile, the top end of the second telescopic rod 22 is connected to the trimming assembly 3, so that the height of the trimming assembly 3 can be adjusted during the vertical extension and retraction of the second telescopic rod 22.

[0052] In this preferred embodiment, the second telescopic rod 22 is an electric telescopic rod or a cylinder telescopic rod.

[0053] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a slider 211 is formed at the bottom of the second bracket 21, and the slider 211 is slidably installed in the slide groove 11; a limiting plate 212 is formed on both sides of the slider 211, and a first limiting groove 111 is formed on both sides of the slide groove 11 corresponding to the limiting plate 212, and the limiting plate 212 is slidably installed in the corresponding first limiting groove 111.

[0054] The bottom of the second bracket 21 has a slider 211, which is slidably installed in the slide groove 11, allowing the second bracket 21 to slide along the slide groove 11. Limiting plates 212 are formed on both sides of the slider 211, and first limiting grooves 111 are formed on both sides of the slide groove 11 corresponding to the limiting plates 212. The limiting plates 212 are slidably installed in the corresponding first limiting grooves 111. The sliding connection between the limiting plates 212 and the corresponding first limiting grooves 111 prevents the second bracket 21 from tilting at different angles during sliding in the slide groove 11, thus preventing instability of the device and safety issues, and increasing the safety of the device.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 2 also includes a first roller 23, and the slider 211 is slidably mounted on the slide groove 11 via the first roller 23.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are also two or more second rollers 5, which are installed at intervals on the bottom of the base 1.

[0060] By setting two or more second rollers 5 at the bottom of the base 1, the friction between the base 1 and the installation position can be reduced, making it easier to move the base 1 and further facilitating the movement and position change of the device; at the same time, by installing two or more second rollers 5 at the bottom of the base 1, the wear on the bottom of the base 1 can be reduced, increasing the service life of the base 1.

[0061] In this preferred embodiment, the second roller 5 is a swivel wheel, which allows the base 1 or the entire device to roll in any direction on a horizontal surface.

By providing the pull rod 6, the lifting assembly 2 can be moved within the slide groove 11 by pulling the pull rod 6. Since the trimming assembly 3 is installed on the lifting assembly 2, the trimming assembly 3 can be adjusted to move horizontally by pulling the pull rod 6. At the same time, since the lifting assembly 2 is installed on the slide groove 11, the base 1 can be pulled by pulling the lifting assembly 2 to change the installation position of the device and expand the trimming range of the trimming assembly 3.

[0063] In this preferred embodiment, the pull rod 6 has anti-slip texture 61 to increase the friction between the pull rod 6 and the operator.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a control switch 7 is also included. The control switch 7 is communicatively connected to the motor 4 and can control the opening and closing of the motor 4.

[0065] By setting a control switch 7 and communicating with the motor 4, the control switch 7 can control the opening and closing of the motor 4, thereby adjusting the swing position of the first bracket 31.

[0066] In this preferred embodiment, the control switch 7 is also communicatively connected to each of the first telescopic rods 321, the second telescopic rods 22 and each cutting machine 322, so as to control the extension and retraction of each of the first telescopic rods 321 and the second telescopic rods 22, and can control the extension and retraction length of each of the first telescopic rods 321 and the second telescopic rods 22, so as to precisely control the shape and height of the trimming; the control switch 7 can control the opening and closing of each cutting machine 322.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, a power supply 8 is also included, which is used to supply power to the motor 4.
