Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of in-situ protection equipment for ancient trees, specifically a support device for in-situ protection of ancient trees. Background Technology

[0002] Ancient trees are precious legacies left by nature and our ancestors, enduring hundreds or even thousands of years of wind and rain, carrying historical memories and ecological value. They are not only unique biological resources, providing habitats for numerous plants and animals, but also possess significant scientific research value, serving as "living fossils" for studying climate change and biological evolution. However, ancient trees are facing threats from natural disasters, pests and diseases, and human damage. Protecting ancient trees is urgent, requiring the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring system to regularly check their health; strengthening pest and disease control, employing green methods such as biological control; and installing protective facilities such as fences to reduce human interference.

[0003] Support devices are needed in the in-situ protection of ancient trees. Utility model patent CN216650755U discloses a tree protection support device for forestry protection, including at least two fixed arc plates and limiting members. Adjacent fixed arc plates are detachably connected via the limiting members. The fixed arc plates, through the limiting members, form a ring-shaped structure for fixing the tree. Each fixed arc plate is connected to several support legs. An annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the fixed arc plate along the arc extension direction. The support legs are engaged in the annular groove and can slide along the groove. The support legs are telescopic. The position of the support legs can be adjusted to avoid damaging the tree roots; the number of support legs on the lower side can be increased to prevent the tree from falling over in high winds, thus improving the protective support effect on the tree.

[0004] However, when using common support devices, the main trunk is supported and protected, but the side branches of ancient trees need to be supported separately, requiring the erection of more support poles. Therefore, an in-situ protection support device for ancient trees is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an in-situ protection and support device for ancient trees, which has the advantages of supporting the main trunk while also supporting the lateral branches, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An in-situ protection and support device for ancient trees includes two bottom semi-rings. A hydraulic connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the top of each bottom semi-ring, and a top semi-ring is rotatably mounted on the movable end of the hydraulic connecting rod. Mounting grooves are fixedly mounted on the surfaces of both the bottom and top semi-rings. Two sliders are slidably mounted inside the mounting grooves. Fixed mounting plates are fixedly mounted on the sides of the upper and lower sliders that are far apart from each other. A branch support assembly is provided on the top of the upper fixed mounting plate.

[0008] The branch support assembly includes a branch hydraulic rod rotatably mounted on one side of a fixed mounting plate. A movable mounting plate is rotatably mounted on the movable end of the branch hydraulic rod. A mounting base is fixedly mounted on the top of the movable mounting plate. A bottom half-tube is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base. A top half-tube is provided on the top of the bottom half-tube.

[0009] Furthermore, connecting side plates are fixedly installed at the openings of both the bottom and top half-pipes, and the two connecting side plates are connected by mounting bolts and nuts.

[0010] Furthermore, protective springs are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the bottom and top semi-rings, and a supporting inner plate is fixedly installed on one end of each protective spring.

[0011] Furthermore, a support screw is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed mounting plate described below, and a support sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the support screw.

[0012] Furthermore, an adjusting nut is rotatably mounted on the top end of the support sleeve, and the adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the support screw.

[0013] Furthermore, a support foot plate is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the support sleeve, a support base plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the support foot plate, and a limiting pin is passed through the top of the support base plate.

[0014] Furthermore, connecting lugs are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the bottom and top semi-rings, and the two ends of the hydraulic connecting rod are rotatably connected to the two connecting lugs respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, locking side plates are fixedly installed at the openings of both the bottom and top semi-rings, and the two locking side plates are connected by tie bolts and nuts.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an in-situ protection and support device for ancient trees, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This in-situ protection and support device for ancient trees uses a slider installed in the mounting groove on the top semi-ring surface. A branch hydraulic rod is rotated and installed on the top of the slider via a fixed mounting plate. A bottom semi-pipe is installed at the top of the branch hydraulic rod, and the bottom semi-pipe is fixed by the top semi-pipe to support the side branches. This solves the problem that common support devices only support and protect the main trunk, while the side branches of ancient trees need to be supported separately, requiring the erection of many support rods.
