Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pruning equipment technology, and in particular to a convenient branch pruning structure for cherry planting. Background Technology
[0002] During the cultivation of sweet cherries, it is necessary to prune the branches to allow them to grow and bear fruit better. By removing overgrown branches, diseased and weak branches, and overly dense branches, the ventilation and light conditions inside the canopy are improved, allowing sunlight and air to fully reach every branch and leaf, enhancing the photosynthetic efficiency of the leaves, accumulating more nutrients for the tree, making the sweet cherry tree grow stronger, and improving the quality of the fruit.
[0003] Application No. 202421162785.8 relates to a portable electric pruning device for fruit trees. This utility model provides a convenient and labor-saving portable electric pruning device for fruit trees that allows direct application of pesticides to branch wounds during pruning. The portable electric pruning device includes a telescopic rod, electric shears, a switch, and a spraying assembly. The electric shears are rotatably connected to the upper part of the telescopic rod, and the switch is electrically connected to the electric shears at the lower part of the telescopic rod. The spraying assembly is connected to the telescopic rod. During pruning, the pesticide in the tank is delivered to the nozzle through an infusion tube, and then sprayed onto the pruned branch wounds, thus applying pesticide directly to the wounds during pruning, achieving a convenient and labor-saving effect.
[0004] The above-mentioned method has shortcomings. The pruned branches fall directly to the ground, and some even overlap with other branches. Because the pruned branches have been exposed to the orchard environment during their growth, they are very likely to carry various pathogens, such as fungi that cause cherry brown rot and bacteria that cause gummosis; they may also harbor various pests, such as red-necked longhorn beetles and pear fruit moths; and they may even have insect eggs attached to them. If these branches are not collected and treated in time, they will quickly become a breeding ground for pests and diseases, causing secondary damage to the pruned cherry trees. It is necessary to manually collect the scattered and overlapping pruned branches one by one. During the manual collection process, workers need to frequently shuttle through the orchard, bending over to pick them up, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, we provide a convenient branch pruning structure for cherry planting. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a convenient branch pruning structure for cherry planting to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.
[0006] The purpose and effect of this utility model of a convenient branch pruning structure for sweet cherry planting are achieved by the following specific technical means: A convenient branch pruning structure for sweet cherry planting includes a telescopic rod and an electric scissors set at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod.

[0007] A branch collection assembly is provided on the lower side of one side of each of the clamps.
[0008] Preferably, a set of teeth is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two clamps that are close to each other, and each set of teeth is arranged at equal intervals.
[0009] Preferably, a set of diagonal bracing blocks are fixedly connected to the other side of the support frame, and the other end of each diagonal bracing block is connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod.
[0010] Preferably, a motor is installed on one side of the support frame, and a positive and negative threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A set of moving blocks is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the positive and negative threaded rod, and a set of sleeve plates is fixedly connected to the other side of each moving block. Each set of sleeve plates is located outside the clamping plate.
[0011] Preferably, a positioning rod is slidably connected to a group of the clamps, and the bottom end of the positioning rod is connected to the outer surface of the support frame.
[0012] Preferably, the branch collection assembly includes a square frame disposed on one side of the support frame, and a collection bag is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the square frame.
[0013] Preferably, a set of frame plates is fixedly connected to one side of the square frame, and each frame plate is slidably connected to an insert block. Each insert block is fitted with an insert frame, and one end of each insert frame is connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod.
[0014] Preferably, each of the frame plates has a support rod fixedly connected to its bottom surface, and a group of support rods have an arc-shaped plate fixedly connected to their bottom ends. The arc-shaped plate is fitted over the telescopic rod.
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The branch clamping component can hold and fix the pruned branches, preventing them from falling to the ground or draping over other branches. The telescopic rod can be retracted to pull the pruned branches out of the canopy, allowing workers to collect them directly. This completely avoids the physical exertion of repeatedly walking around the orchard and bending over to pick up branches, significantly reducing labor intensity.
[0017] 2. The branch collection component effectively collects fallen twigs and leaves during small branch pruning, while it can be detached from the telescopic pole for large branch pruning, significantly reducing the equipment size while ensuring operational freedom during large branch pruning. This allows the pruning operation to be flexibly adjusted according to different branch specifications, significantly improving overall work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] As attached Figure 1 As shown: A convenient branch pruning structure for cherry planting includes a telescopic rod 1 and an electric shears 2 set at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1. The telescopic rod 1 can drive the electric shears 2 to extend and retract, thereby quickly adjusting the position of the electric shears 2 and conveniently completing the pruning of branches.
[0026] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2As shown: A branch clamping assembly 3 is provided on the outside of the telescopic rod 1. The branch clamping assembly 3 includes a support frame 301 located on one side of the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1. A set of clamping plates 302 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 301. A set of teeth 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the two clamping plates 302 that are close to each other. Each set of teeth 303 is arranged at equal intervals. A set of inclined pull blocks 304 is fixedly connected to the other side of the support frame 301. The other end of each inclined pull block 304 is connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod 1. The support frame 301 can be fixed to the telescopic rod 1 by using the inclined pull blocks 304, so that the clamping plates 302 and teeth 303 are in front of the electric shears 2.
[0027] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 With appendix Figure 3 As shown: A motor 305 is installed on one side of the support frame 301. The output end of the motor 305 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 306. A set of moving blocks 307 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 306. A set of sleeve plates 308 are fixedly connected to the other side of each moving block 307. Each set of sleeve plates 308 is located outside the clamping plate 302. When the motor 305 is working, it drives the threaded rod 306 to rotate, which drives the moving block 307 to move. At the same time, the sleeve plates 308 push the clamping plate 302 to complete the closing action. The teeth 303 will form a multi-point contact stable clamping on the branch. Then, the electric shears 2 are controlled to cut. Afterwards, by retracting the telescopic rod 1, the cut large branches can be safely removed from the canopy at the same time, so that the workers can directly collect the pruned branches. This completely avoids the physical consumption of repeatedly shuttling and bending over to pick up branches in the orchard in the traditional operation method, and significantly reduces the labor intensity.
[0028] As attached Figure 2 As shown: A positioning rod 309 is slidably connected to a set of clamping plates 302. The bottom end of the positioning rod 309 is connected to the outer surface of the support frame 301. The positioning rod 309 can guide and stabilize the clamping plates 302, so that the clamping plates 302 can be stabilized inside the support frame 301, and at the same time, it can make its movement more stable.
[0029] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 4As shown: A branch collection assembly 4 is provided below one side of a set of clamping plates 302. The branch collection assembly 4 includes a square frame 401 set on one side of the support frame 301. A collection bag 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the square frame 401. A set of frame plates 403 is fixedly connected to one side of the square frame 401. An insert block 404 is slidably connected to each frame plate 403. An insert frame 405 is fitted on the outside of each insert block 404. One end of each insert frame 405 is connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod 1. By connecting the insert block 404 and the insert frame 405, the square frame 401 is fixed, allowing the collection bag 402 to be placed below the clamping plate 302, so that small branches can be collected. When pruning large branches, the collection bag 402 can be removed, ensuring the freedom of operation when pruning large branches.
[0030] As attached Figure 4 As shown: Each shelf plate 403 has a support rod 406 fixedly connected to its bottom surface. A set of support rods 406 have an arc plate 407 fixedly connected to their bottom ends. The arc plate 407 is fitted onto the outside of the telescopic rod 1. With the cooperation of the support rod 406 and the arc plate 407, the arc plate 407 will fit against the outside of the telescopic rod 1, which can support the square frame 401, thereby making the collection bag 402 stable.
[0031] Working principle: When pruning small branches, the operator can first quickly install the collection bag 402 onto the outside of the telescopic rod 1. Then, the telescopic rod 1 is used to precisely position the two clamps 302 around the target branch. The motor 305 is started to drive the positive and negative threaded rod 306 to rotate, which drives the moving block 307 to move. At the same time, the sleeve plate 308 pushes the clamps 302 to complete the closing action. The teeth 303 will form a multi-point contact and stable clamping of the branch. Then, the electric shears 2 are controlled to cut. After the cutting is completed, the motor 305 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction. The clamps 302 automatically reset and open. The cut branch falls naturally into the collection bag 402 below under the action of gravity, realizing automatic collection.
[0032] When dealing with large branches, the collection bag 402 component can be used to repeat the above positioning-clamping-cutting operation process. Then, by retracting the telescopic rod 1, the cut large branches can be safely removed from the tree canopy at the same time. This allows workers to collect the pruned branches directly, completely avoiding the physical exertion of repeatedly shuttling through the orchard and bending over to pick them up in the traditional operation method, and significantly reducing labor intensity.
