Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of municipal landscaping and greening technology, specifically relating to a seedling straightening device. Background Technology
[0002] In municipal landscaping construction, the common technique for straightening saplings involves manually binding them with rigid support materials such as bamboo poles and wooden sticks, combined with straw ropes or cloth strips. While this method can maintain sapling upright in the short term, it has significant drawbacks: poor adjustability: traditional support structures cannot be adjusted in height and horizontal position as the sapling grows, easily restricting the natural development of the trunk and even causing the sapling to bend or stagnate; high risk of damage: the rigid binding material is in direct contact with the trunk, lacking cushioning protection, making it prone to abrasion of the bark by wind or when the trunk thickens, leading to pests, diseases, or mechanical damage; insufficient efficiency and standardization: installation relies on manual experience, resulting in inconsistent binding tightness, and the materials have poor durability, requiring frequent maintenance; standardized operations are difficult to achieve in large-scale projects, leading to low sapling survival rates and inconsistent landscape effects. These problems increase later maintenance costs and restrict the ecological benefits and aesthetics of landscaping projects. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example
[0026] refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, a seedling straightening device includes an upper hoop assembly 1, a lower hoop assembly 2, a vertical support rod assembly 3, a lower outer support 4, a horizontal support rod assembly 5, an inclined support rod assembly 6, and a side support rod assembly 7.
[0027] A vertical support rod assembly 3 connects the upper hoop assembly 1 and the lower hoop assembly 2. The upper hoop assembly 1 is used to hoop the upper part of the seedling, and the lower hoop assembly 2 is used to hoop the lower part of the seedling. The vertical support rod assembly 3 connects the upper and lower hoop functions into one.
[0028] The lower outer support 4 is provided with at least three, and the lower hoop assembly 2 is located in the middle of the area enclosed by the at least three lower outer supports 4. That is, the lower outer support 4 serves as the base point for support and provides support for the upper hoop assembly 1 and the lower hoop assembly 2 in the middle from multiple directions outside.
[0029] A horizontal bracing rod assembly 5 connects the lower outer support 4 to the lower hoop assembly 2. The lower outer support 4 exerts a horizontal supporting force on the lower hoop assembly 2 towards the center through the horizontal bracing rod assembly 5. A diagonal bracing rod assembly 6 connects the lower outer support 4 to the upper hoop assembly 1. The lower outer support 4 exerts an upward diagonal supporting force on the upper hoop assembly 1 towards the center through the diagonal bracing rod assembly 6.
[0030] Side support rod assemblies 7 are connected between two adjacent lower outer supports 4. All lower outer supports 4 are connected into one unit through the side support rod assemblies 7 to ensure the overall support of the device.
[0031] The upper hoop assembly 1 includes a hoop body 101 and an inner support assembly 105. The hoop body 101 is provided with an inner support assembly 105 that extends and retracts inward and outward. The hoop body 101 forms a circular hoop ring. The inner support assembly 105 provides internal support for the seedlings inside, thereby straightening the seedlings. The hoop diameter can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the inner support assembly 105 to meet different needs.
[0032] The outer side of the hoop body 101 of the upper hoop assembly 1 is provided with an upper rod lug 110 for connecting the vertical support rod assembly 3 and the diagonal support rod assembly 6. The structure of the lower hoop assembly 2 is similar to that of the upper hoop assembly 1, except that the outer side of the hoop body 101 of the lower hoop assembly 2 is provided with a lower rod lug 201 for connecting the vertical support rod assembly 3 and the diagonal support rod assembly 5.
[0033] The hoop body 101 includes several hoop segments 102, splicing plates 103, and splicing bolts 104. That is, the hoop body 101 is divided into several hoop segments 102, which are spliced together to form a complete circular structure. Splicing plates 103 are welded to both ends of each hoop segment 102, and adjacent splicing plates 103 are connected by splicing bolts 104 to achieve the splicing connection of the hoop body 101. Stiffening plates are also welded between the hoop segments 102 and the splicing plates 103 to strengthen the structure.
[0034] Preferably, the upper hoop assembly 1 and the lower hoop assembly 2 have three hoop segments 102, each hoop segment 102 being a 120° arc structure. The upper rod lug 110 or the lower rod lug 201 is welded to the middle of the hoop segment 102. Correspondingly, there are three lower outer supports 4. The lower hoop assembly 2 is located at the center of the equilateral triangle area formed by the three lower outer supports 4. The lower outer supports 4 support the middle of the hoop segment 102 through the flat support rod assembly 5 and the diagonal support rod assembly 6.
[0035] The inner support assembly 105 includes an inner support arc plate 106, an inner support screw 107, an inner support nut 108, and a perforated end 109. The inner support arc plate 106 is located inside the hoop body 101 and is used for supporting the seedling. The structure of the arc plate can better fit the outer periphery of the seedling. The inner support arc plate 106 is circumferentially rotated and axially engaged with the inner end of the inner support screw 107. That is, the inner support screw 107 can rotate circumferentially relative to the inner support arc plate 106, but cannot extend or retract relative to the inner support arc plate 106.
[0036] The inner support nut 108 is welded to the middle of the hoop body 101. The middle of the inner support screw 107 is screwed to the inner support nut 108. The outer end of the inner support screw 107 is provided with a perforated end 109. The perforated end 109 facilitates the operation of the pry bar to rotate the inner support screw 107. The rotated inner support screw 107 engages with the inner support nut 108 through a threaded connection, thereby realizing the inner and outer extension and retraction of the inner support screw 107.
[0037] The lower outer support 4 includes a support plate 401, a diagonal brace lug 402, a horizontal brace lug 403, and a side brace lug 404. The support plate 401 is the main body of the support and is placed on the ground. The diagonal brace lug 402, which connects to the diagonal brace rod assembly 6, is welded to the inner side of the support plate 401. The horizontal brace lug 403, which connects to the horizontal brace rod assembly 5, is welded to the outer side of the support plate 401. The side brace lug 404, which connects to the side brace rod assembly 7, is welded to both sides of the support plate 401.
[0038] The horizontal support rod assembly 5, the diagonal support rod assembly 6, and the side support rod assembly 7 are all telescopic structures with hinged ends. Through the telescopic action of these three sets of support rod assemblies, the support height, support angle, support hoop size, and support placement range of the seedling device can be adjusted. The vertical support rod assembly 3 is a fixed structure with hinged ends, which is not telescopic and can only be adjusted by relative tilting.
[0039] The horizontal bracing rod assembly 5, the diagonal bracing rod assembly 6, and the side bracing rod assembly 7 all include an outer rod 501, an inner rod 502, a locking elongated hole 503, a locking stud 504, and a locking nut 505. The connecting ends of the outer rod 501 and the inner rod 502 are both hinged connections. Specifically, the connecting ends of the outer rod 501 and the inner rod 502 are provided with connecting holes, which are hinged to the corresponding lugs via connecting bolts 111.
[0040] The outer rod 501 and the inner rod 502 are fitted together to allow for telescopic movement between them. The outer rod 501 has a locking elongated hole 503, and the inner rod 502 has a locking stud 504 located within the locking elongated hole 503. A locking nut 505 is screwed onto the locking stud 504 and presses against it. Tightening the locking nut 505 secures the inner and outer rods, while loosening it adjusts the telescopic length.
[0041] The foregoing basic examples and their further alternative examples can be freely combined to form multiple embodiments, all of which are embodiments that can be adopted and claimed in this application. In the scheme of this application, each alternative example can be arbitrarily combined with any other basic example and alternative example.
[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
