Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape planting and management technology, specifically to a sign for trees. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of landscaping and tree protection, the identification and management of trees is a crucial foundational task. Signs are typically used to record the tree's name, species, growth information, and maintenance records, facilitating scientific management and public education. However, traditional tree signs are often installed by nailing them into the trunk or directly binding them with wire or rope. While these methods may be secure in the early stages of tree growth, as the trunk thickens, the original fixing structure cannot extend accordingly, causing continuous pressure on the bark and cambium at the sign's connection point. This can range from affecting the tree's normal transport function and causing localized tissue damage to restricting growth, leading to pests and diseases, and even causing girdling, seriously harming the tree's health. Furthermore, rigidly fixed signs are prone to friction with the trunk under wind and other external forces, exacerbating tree damage. Additionally, signs are difficult to adjust or reuse, resulting in maintenance difficulties and resource waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dynamic signage connection structure that can adapt to the radial growth of trees, so as to achieve the signage function while avoiding damage to the trees, ensuring the healthy growth of the trees and the long-term effectiveness of the signage system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of traditional sign fixing methods, which cannot grow with the tree and are prone to damaging the trunk, this utility model provides a sign for seedlings that can stretch as the tree grows without damaging the trunk.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A sign for trees includes a housing, with elastic ropes fixedly connected to both ends of the housing; each elastic rope is fixedly connected to an adjusting belt, one adjusting belt having several limiting blocks fixedly installed on it, and the other adjusting belt having at least one retaining ring that cooperates with the limiting blocks; one end of the retaining ring has a retaining block, which passes through the retaining ring and is detachably connected to the adjusting belt.

[0005] Furthermore, the limiting block is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, with the sloped side corresponding to the direction of movement of the retaining ring. When the retaining ring moves along the adjusting belt and presses against the limiting block, the sloped surface guides the retaining ring to smoothly slide into the locking position, achieving rapid assembly. When subjected to reverse force, the retaining ring abuts against the right-angled surface to form an effective barrier, preventing loosening. This structure not only improves the stability and tensile strength of the connection but also allows for quick separation by removing the retaining block when disassembly is required. It combines convenient installation with reliable use and optimizes the non-destructive fixing effect of the signboard as it adjusts to the growth of the tree.

[0006] Furthermore, several limiting blocks are evenly distributed on the corresponding adjustment belts. These limiting blocks, in conjunction with the retaining rings, form a multi-level adjustable connection structure. Appropriate limiting blocks and retaining rings can be selected and locked according to the trunk thickness, improving installation flexibility and adaptability. As the tree grows and the trunk thickens, the connection positions of the retaining blocks and retaining rings can be adjusted step by step to increase the extension range of the elastic rope, ensuring the sign remains stably attached to the trunk without compression, guaranteeing secure fixation and easy assembly / disassembly during long-term use.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjusting belt where the retaining ring is located has a groove on its side that mates with the retaining block. After passing through the retaining ring, the retaining block is embedded into the groove. The retaining block is positioned and fixed in the groove after passing through the retaining ring. The retaining block is tightly inserted into the groove, and then a certain amount of force is needed to pull out the retaining block to prevent it from sliding or falling out during use, thus improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The groove also limits and protects the retaining block, reducing the risk of loosening caused by external friction or collision, while making the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing. When disassembly is required, simply pull out the connecting strip, and the retaining block will detach from the groove, achieving quick separation and convenient operation.

[0008] Furthermore, there are three retaining rings, which are respectively located at both ends and the middle of the corresponding adjustment belt. These three retaining rings, together with multiple evenly distributed limiting blocks on another adjustment belt, form a multi-point, multi-level fixing structure. During installation, the locking positions of the retaining rings and corresponding limiting blocks can be flexibly selected according to the trunk diameter, making the connection between the two adjustment belts more reasonable and reliable. As the tree grows and the trunk thickens, the retaining rings can be sequentially adjusted from the inside out to the limiting blocks at different positions, achieving staged tension adjustment and improving the stability, adaptability, and adjustment accuracy of the sign.

[0009] Furthermore, the two locking blocks are fixedly connected together by connecting strips. The three locking blocks are fixedly connected by connecting strips to form an integrated quick-release structure. When it is necessary to remove or adjust, all three locking rings can be unlocked at the same time by simply pulling out the connecting strip, which greatly improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly and makes it convenient to use.

[0010] Furthermore, the placement shell is a hollow, transparent compartment with a removable bottom cover. A pair of mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on the bottom end face of the transparent compartment. A pair of mounting posts that mate with the mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom cover. The hollow, transparent compartment structure allows for clear observation of the internal label information from the outside. The removable bottom cover allows for quick assembly and opening of the compartment by aligning and inserting the mounting posts on the bottom cover with the mounting holes on the transparent compartment, facilitating label replacement and maintenance. When labels need to be inserted or replaced, simply remove the bottom cover to easily remove or insert the label; there is no need to disassemble the entire sign from the tree trunk, making operation simple. Simultaneously, this structure not only protects the labels from damage caused by rain, sun, and other environmental factors, but also extends their service life.

[0011] How to use this utility model: Both the adjusting band and the retaining ring are made of flexible and elastic rubber or silicone. First, the retaining block passes through the retaining ring and connects to the adjusting band for fixation. Then, a label containing information such as the tree species and planting date is placed in the sign's housing. Next, a loop consisting of an elastic rope and the adjusting band is used to secure the tree trunk. Then, the limiting blocks are passed through the retaining rings and tightened to firmly attach the sign to the outside of the trunk. When removal or adjustment is needed, the retaining block on the retaining ring can be removed directly, separating one side of the retaining ring from the adjusting band. At this point, the retaining ring disengages from the limiting block, enabling quick removal. As the tree grows and the trunk thickens, the elastic rope automatically extends under tension, and the adjusting band extends accordingly. Combined with the adjustable connection between the retaining block and the retaining ring, this maintains the stability of the sign and prevents pressure on the tree trunk.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. This utility model of sign does not require nailing or rigid binding, effectively preventing damage to the bark and cambium. After the shell is installed, it will not swing with the wind, reducing the risk of friction and girdling. It is easy to disassemble and assemble, and convenient for maintenance, replacement or reuse, achieving non-destructive dynamic identification of tree growth.

[0013] 2. The limiting block of this utility model is designed as a right-angled trapezoid and evenly distributed. It works with the retaining ring to achieve one-way locking and multi-level adjustment. It can be quickly positioned during installation, resists tension and prevents detachment. As the tree grows, the connection position can be adjusted step by step to ensure that the sign is firmly attached and does not damage the tree trunk. It has high stability, adaptability and convenient disassembly and assembly.

[0014] 3. This utility model features multi-ring and limiting block cooperation to achieve multi-point graded adjustment, quick-release linkage of connecting strips, and groove positioning block to enhance stability; transparent placement shell with removable bottom cover facilitates label replacement and provides good protection; the overall structure is stable, the adjustment is precise, the disassembly and assembly are convenient, it adapts to tree growth, and maintenance is convenient.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example 1: A sign for trees includes a housing 1, with elastic ropes 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the housing 1; each elastic rope 2 is fixedly connected to an adjusting belt 3, one adjusting belt 3 having several limiting blocks 4 fixedly installed on it, and the other adjusting belt 3 having at least one retaining ring 5 that cooperates with the limiting blocks 4; one end of the retaining ring 5 is fixedly connected to the adjusting belt 3, and the other end has a retaining block 51, which is detachably connected to the adjusting belt 3 after passing through the retaining ring 5.

[0020] How to use this utility model: Both the adjusting band 3 and the retaining ring 5 are made of flexible and elastic rubber or silicone material. First, the retaining block 51 passes through the retaining ring 5 and connects with the adjusting band 3 to fix it in place. Then, a label with information such as tree variety and planting date is placed in the placement shell 1 of the sign. Next, the trunk is looped around the ring formed by the elastic rope 2 and the adjusting band 3. Then, the limiting block 4 passes through the retaining ring 5 and is tightened to make the sign stable on the outside of the trunk. When it is necessary to remove or adjust, the retaining block 51 on the retaining ring 5 can be directly removed to separate one side of the retaining ring 5 from the adjusting band 3. At this time, the retaining ring 5 is released from the retaining block 4, realizing the quick removal function. As the tree grows and the trunk thickens, the elastic rope 2 automatically extends under tension, and the adjusting band 3 extends accordingly. With the adjustable connection between the retaining block 51 and the retaining ring 5, the sign is kept stable and the trunk is not squeezed.

[0021] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that the limiting block 4 is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, and the sloped side corresponds to the movement direction of the retaining ring 5. When the retaining ring 5 moves along the adjusting belt 3 and presses against the limiting block 4, the sloped surface guides the retaining ring 5 to smoothly slide into the locking position, achieving quick assembly. When subjected to reverse force, the retaining ring 5 abuts against the right-angled surface to form an effective barrier, preventing loosening. This structure not only improves the stability and tensile strength of the connection, but also allows for quick separation by removing the retaining block 51 when disassembly is required. It combines convenient installation with reliable use, and optimizes the non-destructive fixing effect of the signboard as it adjusts with the growth of the tree.

[0022] The adjusting belt 3, where the retaining ring 5 is located, has a groove on its side that mates with the retaining block 51. The retaining block 51 passes through the retaining ring 5 and is embedded into the groove. The retaining block 51 is positioned and fixed in the groove after passing through the retaining ring 5. The retaining block 51 is tightly inserted into the groove, and then a certain amount of force is needed to pull out the retaining block 51 to prevent it from sliding or falling out during use, thus improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The groove limits and protects the retaining block 51, reducing the risk of loosening caused by external friction or collision, while making the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing. When disassembly is required, simply pull out the connecting strip 52, and the retaining block 51 will disengage from the groove, achieving quick separation and convenient operation.

[0023] The placement shell 1 is a hollow, transparent compartment with a removable bottom cover 11. A pair of mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on the bottom end face of the transparent compartment. A pair of mounting posts 12, which mate with the mounting holes, are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom cover 11. The hollow, transparent compartment structure of the placement shell 1 facilitates clear observation of the internal label information from the outside. The removable bottom cover 11 allows for quick assembly and opening of the compartment by aligning and inserting it with the mounting posts 12 on the bottom cover through the mounting holes on the transparent compartment, facilitating label replacement and maintenance. When labels need to be inserted or replaced, simply remove the bottom cover 11 to easily remove or insert the label paper, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire sign from the tree trunk, simplifying the operation. Furthermore, this structure protects the labels from damage caused by rain, sun, and other environmental factors, extending their service life.

[0024] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that several limiting blocks 4 are evenly arranged on the corresponding adjusting belts 3. These limiting blocks 4, together with the retaining rings 5, form a multi-level adjustable connection structure. Appropriate limiting blocks 4 and retaining rings 5 ​​can be selected and locked according to the trunk thickness, improving installation flexibility and adaptability. When the tree grows and the trunk thickens, the connection position of the retaining blocks 51 and retaining rings 5 ​​can be adjusted step by step to increase the extension range of the elastic rope 2, ensuring the sign remains stably attached to the trunk without compression, guaranteeing secure fixation and easy assembly / disassembly during long-term use.

[0025] There are three retaining rings 5, which are respectively located at both ends and the middle of the corresponding adjusting belt 3. The three retaining rings 5, together with multiple limiting blocks 4 evenly distributed on another adjusting belt 3, form a multi-point, multi-level fixing structure. During installation, the locking positions of the retaining rings 5 ​​and the corresponding limiting blocks 4 can be flexibly selected according to the trunk diameter, making the connection between the two adjusting belts 3 more reasonable and reliable. As the tree grows and the trunk thickens, the retaining rings 5 ​​can be adjusted sequentially from the inside to the outside to the limiting blocks 4 at different positions to achieve staged tension adjustment, thereby improving the stability, adaptability, and adjustment accuracy of the sign.

[0026] Two locking blocks 51 are fixedly connected together by a connecting strip 52. The locking blocks 51 of the three retaining rings 5 ​​are fixedly connected by the connecting strip 52 to form an integrated quick-release structure. When it is necessary to remove or adjust, all three retaining rings 5 ​​can be unlocked at the same time by simply pulling out the connecting strip 52 once, which greatly improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly and makes it convenient to use.
