Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, and in particular to a kumquat branch bending device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the phototropism of trees, the branches on the sunny side are generally relatively dense. If left to grow freely, the branches may become too dense, hindering light penetration and ventilation, which is detrimental to the tree's growth. On the other hand, some personalized tree cultivation requires the branches to be shaped to achieve a specific form.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to perform operations such as bending and pulling branches to determine their growth direction through artificial intervention. Kumquats have high requirements for tree shape, and bending and shaping are necessary during their growth process to ensure good growth and fruiting. The traditional method is to tie the branches to be bent with ropes or hooks, and then pull or add weights to bend the branches. However, this method is ineffective, the bending range is small, and the stability is poor, so it has been gradually phased out.

[0004] Existing technology involves bending branches using a branch bending tool. Commonly used branch bending tools are mainly S-shaped or M-shaped. The branch bending tool can bend the new branches vertically at specific points to achieve the bending and shaping of the branches.

[0005] However, existing branch bending tools generally have the problem of fixed bending angles when bending branches. Each branch bending tool corresponds to a fixed bending range. If different bending ranges are required, different sizes of branch bending tools must be replaced. This is not conducive to personalized use and is not user-friendly for users who have different requirements for the bending range of branches. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a kumquat branch bending tool to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A kumquat branch bending tool includes a housing, a partition plate connected to the inner wall of the housing, a rotating shaft and a pawl rotatably connected to each side of the partition plate, a ratchet connected to the rotating shaft, a connecting rod connected to the partition plate, a spring connected to the pawl and the ratchet, the pawl and the ratchet cooperating with each other, the rotating shaft passing through the top of the housing and rotatably connected to the housing, and a pressure strip structure connected to the rotating shaft for bending kumquat branches.

[0009] Preferably, the pressure strip structure includes a bent arm connected to a rotating shaft, the bent arm having a groove, a slider slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, a pressure rod connected to the slider, and the pressure strip structure having an adjustable distance structure that can adjust the position of the pressure rod.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustable distance structure includes a screw that passes through one side wall of the bent arm and is rotatably connected to the bent arm, the other end of the screw is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slide groove, and the slider is threadedly connected to the screw.

[0011] Preferably, the screw is connected to a handle.

[0012] Preferably, the pressure bar is connected to a flexible pressure bar.

[0013] Preferably, the flexible pressure bar is provided with a slot.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0015] (1) This solution uses a partition plate inside the outer shell, with a rotating shaft and a pawl connected to both sides of the partition plate. A structure that controls the rotation angle of the rotating shaft is formed by the cooperation of a ratchet, connecting rod, and spring. When the branch bending device is operated, the rotating shaft rotates, driving the connected pressure strip structure to move, which is used to bend the kumquat branches. This structural design allows the ratchet and pawl to cooperate during the bending process, limiting and positioning the rotation angle of the rotating shaft to a certain extent, preventing over-bending or rebound of the branches. This improves the stability and accuracy of bending the branches, solving the problems of fixed bending angles and poor stability in traditional bending methods, and providing a more reliable operating basis for bending kumquat branches.

[0016] (2) The pressing strip structure adopts a design where a bending arm is connected to a rotating shaft, and a groove is opened on the bending arm. The slider slides in the groove and is connected to the pressing rod. At the same time, an adjustable distance structure is set to adjust the position of the pressing rod. This allows users to flexibly adjust the position of the pressing rod according to the specific condition of the kumquat branch and the bending requirements. For example, for branches of different lengths, thicknesses, or desired bending angles, the contact position and force application point between the pressing strip structure and the branch can be optimized by changing the position of the pressing rod, thereby achieving more precise and personalized branch bending operations. This effectively solves the problem that existing branch bending machines have fixed bending angles and are not convenient for personalized use.

[0017] (3) The adjustable pitch structure uses a screw that passes through the bent arm and rotates to connect with the side wall of the slide groove, with the slider threadedly connected to the screw. This design utilizes the principle of threaded transmission. When the screw is rotated, the slider can move smoothly and precisely along the slide groove, thereby changing the position of the pressure rod. Compared with other adjustable pitch methods, threaded transmission has higher precision and stability, allowing users to adjust the position of the pressure rod more accurately to meet the bending requirements of different kumquat branches, further enhancing the adaptability and operability of the branch bending machine in practical use.

[0018] (4) The screw is connected to a handle, providing the user with a convenient component for rotating the screw. By holding the handle, the user can more easily and conveniently rotate the screw to adjust the position of the pressure rod. The handle design increases the convenience and comfort of operation.

[0019] (5) The flexible pressure bar connects to the rigid pressure bar, allowing it to better conform to the branch surface when bending the kumquat branches. Compared to the rigid pressure bar, the flexible pressure bar can deform to a certain extent according to the shape of the branch, increasing the contact area with the branch and making the pressure applied to the branch more even, avoiding damage to the branch due to excessive local pressure. This helps to better protect the kumquat branches and ensure their normal growth while ensuring the bending effect.

[0020] (6) The flexible pressure bar is equipped with a slot, which is used to fix the bending device to the branch. When bending the kumquat branch, by fixing the branch in the slot, the branch can be further limited and fixed, preventing the branch from sliding or falling off the bending device during the bending process, thereby improving the stability and success rate of the bending operation.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated kumquat branch bending device includes a housing 1. (See figure) Figure 2As shown, a partition plate 10 is connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A rotating shaft 2 and two pawls 12 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the partition plate 10, respectively. A ratchet wheel 11 is connected to the rotating shaft 2, and a connecting rod 13 is connected to the partition plate 10. The pawls 12 and the connecting rod 13 are connected to a spring 14, and the pawls 12 and ratchet wheel 11 cooperate with each other. When it is necessary to bend the kumquat branch, rotating the rotating shaft 2 causes the ratchet wheel 11 to rotate. Under the action of the spring 14, the pawls 12 cooperate with the ratchet wheel 11, ensuring that the ratchet wheel 11 can only rotate in one direction. This limits the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 2, preventing excessive bending or rebound of the branch, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the bent branch.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating shaft 2 passes through the top wall of the outer shell 1 and is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1. The rotating shaft 2 is connected to two identical pressing strip structures 9, which are used to bend and press the kumquat branches.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressure strip structure 9 includes a bent arm 3, which is connected to the rotating shaft 2. The bent arm 3 has a groove 4, and a slider 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 4. A pressure rod 16 is connected to the top of the slider 5. The pressure strip structure 9 is provided with an adjustment structure for adjusting the position of the pressure rod 16.

[0028] Users can adjust the position of the pressure bar 16 by adjusting the distance structure according to the specific conditions of the kumquat branches, such as length, thickness, and desired bending angle, to optimize the contact position and force application point between the pressure bar structure 9 and the branches, thus achieving personalized branch bending operations.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable structure includes a screw 7, which passes through the right side wall of the bent arm 3 and is rotatably connected to the bent arm 3. The other end of the screw 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slide groove 4, and the slider 5 is threadedly connected to the screw 7.

[0030] Rotating the screw 7 utilizes the principle of threaded transmission to make the slider 5 move smoothly and precisely along the groove 4, thereby driving the pressure rod 16 to change position and meet the bending requirements of different branches.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a handle 8 is connected to the right end of the screw 7. By holding the handle 8, the user can more easily and conveniently rotate the screw 7 to adjust the position of the pressure rod 16, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of operation.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a flexible pressure rod 6 is connected to the top of the pressure rod 16. When bending the kumquat branch, the flexible pressure rod 6 can deform to a certain extent according to the shape of the branch, better fit the surface of the branch, increase the contact area, make the pressure evenly distributed, avoid excessive local pressure that could damage the branch, and protect the normal growth of the branch.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the flexible pressure rod 6 has a slot 15 at its top. When bending branches, the branches are fixed in the slot 15 to limit and fix the branches, preventing them from sliding or falling off the bending device during the bending process, thus improving the stability and success rate of the bending operation.

[0034] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0035] First, take the branch bending tool to the kumquat tree where you want to bend the branch. Holding the outer casing 1, observe the specific details of the branch to be bent, such as its length, thickness, and the desired bending angle.

[0036] For different kumquat branches, personalized bending can be achieved through the adjustable spacing structure. By holding the handle 8 and turning it, since the screw 7 passes through the bending arm 3 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slide groove 4, and the slider 5 is threadedly connected to the screw 7, turning the handle 8 will drive the screw 7 to rotate, so that the slider 5 moves smoothly and precisely within the slide groove 4, thereby adjusting the position of the pressure rod 16 and optimizing the contact position and force application point between the pressure strip structure 9 and the branch.

[0037] After adjusting the position of the pressure rod 16, align the slot 15 at the top of the flexible pressure rod 6 with the kumquat branch and lock it in place to limit and fix the branch, preventing it from sliding or coming off during bending.

[0038] Next, the rotating shaft 2 is rotated, which drives the ratchet 11 to rotate. At this time, the pawl 12 cooperates with the ratchet 11 under the action of the spring 14, so that the ratchet 11 can only rotate in one direction, limiting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 2 and preventing the branch from being bent excessively or rebounding. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 2, the bending arm 3 connected to it drives the pressure rod 16 and the flexible pressure rod 6 to move, bending and pressing the branch.

[0039] During the bending process, the flexible pressure bar 6 will deform according to the shape of the branch, better fit the surface of the branch, so that the pressure is evenly distributed, avoid excessive local pressure that could damage the branch, and finally complete the precise and stable bending of the kumquat branch.

[0040] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
