Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sand dune management technology. Specifically, it is a device for reusing plant branches after coppicing. Background Technology
[0002] Fixed dunes are those that do not shift under wind force. Their surfaces are typically planted with shrubs or semi-shrubs for sand fixation, such as sand willow and caragana. After a certain number of years, depending on the natural conditions of the degraded forest, site conditions, stand density, age, tree species composition, growth status, and degree of degradation, coppicing rejuvenation is necessary. This involves cutting the above-ground branches of the plants at a certain height to promote the sprouting of adventitious buds at the rootstock, utilizing root nutrients to accelerate regeneration and improve windbreak and sand-fixing effectiveness. During the coppicing process, many branches tend to fall in different directions, requiring further sorting and collection, which is inconvenient. Existing technologies also include large integrated machines that combine coppicing, harvesting, sorting, and baling functions; however, these machines are expensive and bulky, suitable only for relatively flat terrain, and have limitations in practical applications. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device for reusing plant branches after coppicing, which can shape the branches into regular shapes while coppicing, so as to facilitate the reuse of the branches.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for reusing plant branches after coppicing, wherein the device has a centralized channel for accommodating plant branches, the extension direction of the centralized channel intersects the height direction of the plant branches, and binding straps are arranged on both sides of the centralized channel along its length direction; on the side of the binding straps away from the centralized channel: at least two locking members are arranged along the length direction of the binding straps, the locking members facing the binding straps; the locking members pass through the binding straps on one side and the binding straps on the other side in sequence to connect the binding straps on both sides together; the two locking members respectively connect the two ends of the two binding straps and clamp the plant branches in the centralized channel.
[0005] The above-mentioned device for reusing plant branches after coppicing includes temporary fixing components for binding straps on both sides of the central channel, which are arranged along the extension direction of the central channel; the binding straps are attached to the opposite side wall of the two temporary fixing components for binding straps.
[0006] In the aforementioned device for reusing plant branches after coppicing, the locking member is arranged at the gap of the temporary fixing component of the binding tape, and the locking member passes through the gap of the temporary fixing component of the binding tape and contacts the binding tape.
[0007] In the aforementioned device for reusing plant branches after coppicing, a pushing component is provided on one side of the central channel, and a locking member is installed inside the pushing component. The pushing direction of the pushing component is perpendicular to the length direction of the binding strap.
[0008] The above-mentioned device for reusing plant branches after coppicing includes a mounting plate, a central channel is formed on the mounting plate, one end of the mounting plate extends through the side wall of the mounting plate to form an opening, and plant branches enter the central channel from the opening.
[0009] The aforementioned device for reusing plant branches after coppicing includes two sets of temporary fixing assemblies for binding straps arranged on the mounting plate. Each temporary fixing assembly includes a winding wheel, a guide wheel, and two or more positioning wheels. The winding wheel is positioned on the mounting plate near the closed end of the central channel. The two or more positioning wheels are rotatably arranged on the mounting plate along the length of the central channel. The guide wheel is rotatably mounted between the winding wheel and the positioning wheels. Several positioning pins are arranged radially on the surface of the positioning wheel. One end of the binding strap is wound around the winding wheel, and the other end of the binding strap passes around the guide wheel and then abuts against the surface of the positioning wheel. The positioning pins pass through the binding strap.
[0010] The aforementioned device for reusing plant branches after coppicing includes a pushing assembly mounted on the mounting plate on the first side of the central channel. The pushing assembly includes a pull rod, a wedge, and a guide cylinder. The guide cylinder is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate and perpendicular to the central channel. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the guide cylinder wall. The pull rod passes through the guide grooves and through the guide cylinder, and the pull rod is perpendicular to the guide cylinder. The wedge is fixedly mounted on the pull rod, with its inclined surface facing the guide cylinder. The length of the guide groove is greater than the length of the wedge. A locking member is installed inside the guide cylinder, and the end of the locking member is in contact with the surface of the pull rod. When the pull rod passes through the guide cylinder, the inclined surface of the wedge gradually pushes the locking member out of the guide cylinder.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model has achieved the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] Before coppicing, the plant branches grow upright and are relatively neat. Using a centralized channel, the branches can be collected inside to form a row. By using binding straps and locking devices, the branches are bundled into a row of uniform thickness, neat and connected as a whole. When coppicing is carried out, the branches will not scatter or fall over and can be collected directly. Furthermore, this neat row structure, because of the support of small branches between the branches and the loose space inside, can be laid directly on the ground for windbreak and sand fixation, or it can be planted in the ground as a sand barrier. It has high reuse value and does not require further sorting and processing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The device for reusing plant branches after coppicing in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a mounting plate 1 with a central channel 2 for accommodating plant branches. One end of the mounting plate 1 extends through its side wall to form an opening, through which plant branches enter the central channel 2. The opening has guide plates 3 with gradually increasing spacing to facilitate branch entry. The mounting plate 1 is horizontal or nearly horizontal, and the extension direction of the central channel 2 intersects the height direction of the plant branches. A guide sleeve 10 is fixedly installed on the end of the mounting plate 1 facing away from the opening of the central channel 2. A column 12 passes through the guide sleeve 10, and the guide sleeve 10 and column 12 are detachably and fixedly connected. The bottom end of the column 12 is fixed to a base 11. A hollow area corresponding to the central channel 2 is provided in the middle of the base 11, and a pruning machine 13 is installed on the base 11. In other embodiments, to increase the range of branches collected and improve work efficiency, such as... Figure 7 As shown, multiple mounting plates 1 and related structures can be installed side by side. In order to improve the effect of fixing the branches, two layers of mounting plates 1 are installed on the top and bottom of the column 12 to fix the branches at the top and bottom positions of a single row.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, two sets of temporary cable tie fixing components 5 are arranged on the mounting plate 1. The two sets of temporary cable tie fixing components 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the central channel 2, and the temporary cable tie fixing components 5 are arranged along the extension direction of the central channel 2. Specifically, the temporary cable tie fixing components 5 include a winding wheel 51, a guide wheel 52, and two or more positioning wheels 53. The winding wheel 51 is arranged on the mounting plate 1 near the closed end of the central channel 2. The two or more positioning wheels 53 are rotatably arranged on the mounting plate 1 along the length direction of the central channel 2. The guide wheel 52 is rotatably installed between the winding wheel 51 and the positioning wheel 53. Several positioning pins 54 are arranged radially on the wheel surface of the positioning wheel 53.
[0027] Binding straps 4 are arranged along the length of both sides of the central channel 2. The binding straps 4 are attached to the opposite side wall of the two binding strap temporary fixing components 5. Specifically, one end of the binding strap 4 is wrapped around the winding wheel 51, and the other end of the binding strap 4 passes around the guide wheel 52 and is attached to the surface of the positioning wheel 53 in sequence. The positioning pin 54 passes through the binding strap 4.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, on the side of the binding strap 4 away from the central channel 2: at least two locking elements 6 are arranged along the length of the binding strap 4, with the locking elements 6 facing the binding strap 4; the locking elements 6 are arranged at the gap position of the temporary fixing component 5 of the binding strap, and the locking elements 6 pass through the gap of the temporary fixing component 5 of the binding strap and contact the binding strap 4. The locking element 6 includes a nail body 61, a barb 62 and a nail head 63. The nail head 63 is connected to the tail end of the nail body 61. The front end of the nail body 61 is provided with a nail tip and is provided with the binding strap 4. The nail body 61 is provided with a barb 62, and the free end of the barb 62 is inclined towards the nail head 63; the locking element 6 passes through the binding strap 4 on one side and the binding strap 4 on the other side in sequence to connect the two binding straps 4 together; the two locking elements 6 respectively connect the two ends of the two binding straps 4 and clamp the plant branches in the central channel 2.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a pushing assembly 7 is installed on the first side of the central channel 2 on the mounting plate 1. The pushing direction of the pushing assembly 7 is perpendicular to the length direction of the binding strap 4. The pushing assembly 7 includes a pull rod 71, a wedge 72, and a guide cylinder 73. The guide cylinder 73 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1 and is perpendicular to the central channel 2. Guide grooves 74 are provided on both sides of the cylinder wall of the guide cylinder 73. The pull rod 71 passes through the guide grooves 74 and through the guide cylinder 73, and the pull rod 71 and the guide cylinder 73 are perpendicular. The wedge 72 is fixedly installed on the pull rod 71. The inclined surface of the wedge 72 faces the guide cylinder 73, and the length of the guide groove 74 is greater than the length of the wedge 72. The locking member 6 is installed inside the guide cylinder 73, and the nail head 63 at the end of the locking member 6 is in contact with the surface of the pull rod 71. When the pull rod 71 passes through the guide cylinder 73, the inclined surface of the wedge 72 gradually pushes the locking member 6, pushing the locking member 6 out of the guide cylinder 73.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a pushing assembly 7 is also installed on the second side of the central channel 2 on the mounting plate 1. The guide cylinders 73 of the two pushing assemblies 7 are arranged opposite each other. A push rod 8 is installed inside the guide cylinder 73 of the pushing assembly 7. A blind hole 9 is opened on the end face of the push rod 8 facing the cylinder opening. By setting the pushing assemblies 7 on both sides of the central channel 2, the locking member 6 is pushed on one side and the push rod 8 is pushed on the other side, and the binding straps 4 on both sides are pushed at the same time, so that the binding straps 4 on both sides are brought closer to each other, so that the locking member 6 can fix the two binding straps 4 together.
[0031] In practical applications, the guide sleeve 10 and the column 12 are locked together with screws. Loosening the screws adjusts the height of the mounting plate 1, aligning it with the center of the branch. When using two mounting plates 1 (upper and lower), each plate corresponds to a branch. Pushing the base 11, the branch enters the central channel 2 through the guide plate 3 as the mounting plate 1 moves towards the plant branch. Once the central channel 2 is full, simultaneously pull the levers 71 on the two pushing components 7. The two levers 71 can be connected by a handle. When pulled, the locking member 6 on one side is pushed out of the guide cylinder 73, and the push rod 8 on the other side is pushed out. The locking member 6 and the push rod 8 are positioned opposite each other, forming a pre-compression at a single point. The locking member 6 first passes through the binding tape 4 on the adjacent side, then through the branch, and then through the binding tape 4 on the other side, fixing the binding tape 4 on both sides together to achieve the binding of the plant branch. In practical applications, multiple locking members 6 are arranged at certain intervals to achieve multi-point binding and improve binding strength. After the nail body 61 passes through the binding strap 4, the barb 62 can pass through the binding strap 4 smoothly in the forward direction. When the power of the pushing component 7 is removed, multiple plant branches are released from the compression force, expand outward, and push the binding strap 4. When the barb 62 is subjected to the reverse thrust, it can hold the binding strap 4.
[0032] Then, using the coppicing machine 13, the plant branches are cut off, and then the tied plant branches are pulled towards the opening. At the same time, the binding tape 4 wound on the winding wheel 51 is driven. The binding tape 4 is nailed by the positioning wheel 53. After all the tied branches are pulled out of the central channel 2, the binding tape 4 is cut off.
[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the claims of this patent application.
