Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of greening facilities technology, and in particular relates to a tree anti-tipping support frame for municipal greening. Background Technology

[0002] Existing common tree anti-tipping support frames mainly serve to provide lateral support for relatively small green trees, preventing them from tipping over in strong winds.

[0003] On the other hand, the relatively practical support frame mentioned above mainly consists of a base, an inclined plate, and clamping components. These three components are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The effective clamping range of the clamping components is adjustable, ultimately providing a relatively stable and comprehensive anti-tipping support function for trees.

[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN222465565U and authorization announcement date of February 14, 2025 discloses a tree anti-tipping support structure for municipal greening and landscaping. Its main structural components include: a first support plate, a fixed frame, a weighted box, a protective component, a first connecting frame, a threaded rod, a second limiting plate, a toothed plate, a clamping roller, a second rotating rod, a gear, a third rotating rod, a seedling mounting hole, and a second connecting frame.

[0005] The advantages of the anti-tipping support structure in this utility model patent are mainly: the sliding rod allows the moving frame to be reset, resulting in different contact points between the clamping roller and the seedling, and buffering the seedling so that it is not easy to break.

[0006] However, in actual use, this anti-tipping support structure has at least the following impractical problems, specifically including: First, its complex structure and numerous components increase production and usage costs; Second, the clamping rollers require a complex screw structure and prolonged rotational adjustment to precisely clamp the seedlings, which is unnecessary and impractical. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application provides a tree anti-tipping support frame for municipal greening, and the technical problem to be solved is: how to make the tree reinforcement effect of the anti-tipping support frame relatively simple and practical.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve the above problems is: a tree anti-tipping support frame for municipal greening, the structure of which includes an open rectangular base frame unit for laterally moving trees, a plurality of inclined support plate units set on the open rectangular base frame unit, an open circular frame unit set on all the inclined support plate units and used for laterally moving and locking trees, and a rotating plate unit with both ends hinged and screwed on the open circular frame unit and used for locking trees.

[0009] A further preferred technical solution is that the open rectangular base unit includes two side plates and one middle plate, each equipped with the inclined support plate unit.

[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the inclined support plate unit includes an inclined plate with its upper and lower ends respectively disposed on the open circular frame unit and the open rectangular base unit, and the upper end being closer to the tree than the lower end.

[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that the open annular frame unit includes an open annular ring for laterally moving and engaging trees, and a shaft hole and several insertion holes respectively disposed at both ends of the open annular ring for hinged and screwed connection of the rotating plate unit.

[0012] A further preferred technical solution is that the rotating plate unit includes a plate body for engaging the tree, a hinge shaft disposed at one end of the plate body for connecting the shaft hole, a screw connector disposed at the other end of the plate body for connecting the insertion hole, and a rectangular opening disposed on the plate body for installing the screw connector.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that the inclined support plate unit further includes two hinge rods respectively disposed at both ends of the inclined plate, and a perforated plate disposed on the hinge rods and used to connect the open annular frame unit or the open rectangular base frame unit.

[0014] A further preferred technical solution is that: the open rectangular base unit further includes a pair of protruding plates disposed on the side plate and used to engage the inclined plate before the support frame is used; the inclined support plate unit further includes an open anti-deformation limiting plate disposed on the inclined plate and used to engage the protruding plate before the support frame is used.

[0015] A further preferred technical solution is that the protruding plate and the perforated plate on the side plate are respectively located on two opposite sides of the side plate.

[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that the rotating plate unit further includes a rubber protective tube sleeved on the plate body and used to lock the tree, and a tube anti-falling block disposed on the inner ring surface of the rubber protective tube and inserted into the rectangular opening.

[0017] A further preferred technical solution is that the open annular frame unit further includes a rubber tube sleeved on the open annular ring and used to engage the tree, and a lengthwise through opening disposed on the rubber tube and used to pass through the inclined support plate unit.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application include at least the following three points.

[0019] First, the support frame provides a fixed support height and a stepped locking effect, making its structure relatively simple and practical. At the same time, it ensures that the tree's anti-tipping function is sufficient and adequate, and it is still suitable for various types of trees with trunk thickness within a certain range.

[0020] Secondly, the support frame can be detachable, which is convenient for storage and transportation, and the open rectangular base unit is not easily deformed during transportation.

[0021] Third, the support frame has elastic protection functions on the open circular frame unit and the rotating plate unit to prevent the relatively rigid former two from damaging the trees. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The following description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0038] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a tree anti-tipping support frame for municipal greening includes an open rectangular base frame unit 1 for laterally moving a tree a, a plurality of inclined support plate units 2 disposed on the open rectangular base frame unit 1, an open circular frame unit 3 disposed on all the inclined support plate units 2 and used for laterally moving and engaging the tree a, and a rotating plate unit 4 whose two ends are respectively hinged and screwed onto the open circular frame unit 3 and used for engaging the tree a.

[0039] In this embodiment, the inclined support plate unit 2 provides a fixed support height, and the rotating plate unit 4 provides a stepped tree clamping function. These functions are sufficient and suitable for supporting trees to prevent them from tipping over. Accordingly, the specific structures of the inclined support plate unit 2 and the rotating plate unit 4 result in a support frame with the advantages of simple and practical structure.

[0040] The main body of the support frame is made of engineering plastic or metal. The opening position of the rectangular base unit 1 and the opening position of the circular frame unit 3 are roughly aligned, so that the tree a can be moved in and out together at the two openings.

[0041] In addition, the overall height of the support frame is 1.5-2.5m. The main method to prevent taller trees from falling in windy conditions is to prune branches, while shorter trees generally do not need to be protected against falling in windy conditions. Therefore, the above height range was determined.

[0042] Furthermore, the shape of the open rectangular base unit 1 includes at least 3 rectangular sides, and the number of the inclined support plate units 2 is at least 3. Only the open rectangular base unit 1 is not provided. The open circular frame unit 3 and the rotating plate unit 4 simultaneously engage the tree a, which can provide sufficient anti-tipping effect for the tree.

[0043] The open rectangular base unit 1 includes two side plates 101 and one middle plate 102, each equipped with the inclined support plate unit 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the two side plates 101 and the middle plate 102 are integrally formed. The reason why the base frame is rectangular is:

[0045] In the existing technology, trees used for municipal greening are generally planted in rectangular pits made of paving bricks b. Therefore, the rectangular open rectangular base unit 1 can not only provide stable support in the vertical direction, but also lock in a ring of rectangular paving bricks b in the horizontal direction, thus further improving the anti-tipping strength of the tree support frame, which is very practical.

[0046] The inclined support plate unit 2 includes an inclined plate 201 with its upper and lower ends respectively set on the open circular frame unit 3 and the open rectangular base frame unit 1, and the upper end being closer to the tree a than the lower end.

[0047] In this embodiment, the support frame is characterized by being smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, with the outer diameter of the open annular frame unit 3 being smaller than the width of the open rectangular base frame unit 1. The upper end of the inclined plate 201 is further inward than its lower end, thereby connecting the larger open rectangular base frame unit 1 and the smaller open annular frame unit 3.

[0048] On the other hand, the upper and lower ends of the inclined plate 201 can be connected by welding, screwing or snapping.

[0049] The open annular frame unit 3 includes an open annular ring 301 for laterally moving and engaging the tree a, and a shaft hole 302 and several insertion holes 303 respectively disposed at both ends of the open annular ring 301 for hinged and screwed connection of the rotating plate unit 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the number of the insertion holes 303 corresponds to the number of stages of the stepped engagement function that the rotating plate unit 4 can provide. This stepped engagement function is sufficient and suitable for preventing trees from tipping over, and there is no need to set it to a stepless engagement effect. Even if the tree a sways slightly between the opening ring 301 and the rotating plate unit 4 in a strong wind environment, the tree tipping over function will still be effective.

[0051] The reason why the opening ring 301 is circular is that the cross-sectional shape of the tree trunk is roughly circular, so the former can fit and hold the tree trunk relatively comprehensively.

[0052] The rotating plate unit 4 includes a plate body 401 for engaging tree a, a hinge shaft 402 disposed at one end of the plate body 401 for connecting the shaft hole 302, a screw connector 403 disposed at the other end of the plate body 401 for connecting the insertion hole 303, and a rectangular opening 404 disposed on the plate body 401 for mounting the screw connector 403.

[0053] In this embodiment, the plate 401 is rectangular in shape, the screw connector 403 is a combination of bolt, nut, and washer, and the rectangular opening 404 serves the following purposes:

[0054] This ensures that the screw connector 403 has a stable sliding space on the plate 401, guaranteeing that the screw connector 403 can be smoothly installed and that any one of the sockets 303 can be installed. For details, please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 .

[0055] The inclined support plate unit 2 also includes two hinge rods 202 respectively disposed at both ends of the inclined plate 201, and a perforated plate 203 disposed on the hinge rods 202 and used to connect the open annular frame unit 3 or the open rectangular base frame unit 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, the advantage of using the hinge rod 202 and the perforated plate 203 together is that the support frame is detachable, making it relatively simple and convenient to store and transport. However, the disadvantage also exists: the support strength at the inclined plate 201 will be slightly reduced. Therefore, the inclined plate 201 can be welded or hinged.

[0057] However, it should be noted that all the inclined plates 201 need to be installed in a uniform manner, either by welding or hinge.

[0058] The open rectangular base unit 1 further includes a pair of protruding plates 103 disposed on the side plate 101 and used to engage the inclined plate 201 before the support frame is used; the inclined support plate unit 2 further includes an open anti-deformation limiting plate 204 disposed on the inclined plate 201 and used to engage the protruding plate 103 before the support frame is used.

[0059] In this embodiment, the support frame can be detachable. Therefore, the "U-shaped" rectangular base unit 1 with an opening is at risk of inward shrinkage and outward expansion at the opening. Both of these deformation phenomena will reduce its structural strength.

[0060] The protruding plate 103 is used in conjunction with the opening anti-deformation limiting plate 204 to fix the distance between the two side plates 101 and keep them parallel to each other, thus preventing the opening rectangular base unit 1 from deforming or even breaking.

[0061] At this point, the support frame has the advantage of convenient storage and transportation. Its packaging method can be, for example, as follows: the open circular frame unit 3 is placed inside the open rectangular base unit 1, and all the inclined support plate units 2 are laid flat on the open rectangular base unit 1. The open circular frame unit 3 and the rotating plate unit 4 can be hinged or unhinged. Furthermore, the packaging box for this support frame is flat, facilitating its storage and transportation.

[0062] The number of protruding plates 103 is four, arranged in pairs. The number of opening anti-deformation limiting plates 204 is two or four, which preferentially prevent the opening rectangular base unit 1 from undergoing inward deformation at the opening. The positional pattern of the opening anti-deformation limiting plates 204 when there are two can be referred to the appendix. Figure 7 .

[0063] Furthermore, it is permissible for all or only one of the inclined plates 201 to be equipped with the opening anti-deformation limiting plate 204. When the support frame is installed and used, the opening anti-deformation limiting plate 204 is tilted downwards and inwards to prevent it from bumping into pedestrians.

[0064] The protruding plate 103 and the perforated plate 203 on the side plate 101 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the side plate 101.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the support frame is installed and used, the perforated plate 203 is located on the upper surface of the side plate 101 and the middle plate 102, ensuring the effective use of the inclined support plate unit 2. Conversely, at this time, the protruding plate 103 is located on the lower surface of the side plate 101, allowing it to be inserted into the mud c, thereby reinforcing the installation stability of the open rectangular base frame unit 1. This is the second function of the protruding plate 103.

[0066] The rotating plate unit 4 also includes a rubber protective tube 405 sleeved on the plate body 401 and used to lock the tree a, and a tube anti-falling block 406 disposed on the inner ring surface of the rubber protective tube 405 and inserted into the rectangular opening 404.

[0067] In this embodiment, the rubber protective tube 405 is a common ordinary rubber round tube, and its function is to prevent the relatively hard plate 401 from damaging the tree a.

[0068] In addition, the tube body anti-falling clip 406 and the rubber protective tube 405 are integrally formed. The former mainly serves to prevent the rubber protective tube 405 from falling off and being lost from the plate body 401 before the support frame is installed and used, that is, when the support frame is stored and transported.

[0069] Correspondingly, the anti-falling clip 406 is located at the end of the rubber protective tube 405 to prevent the rubber protective tube 405 from blocking and affecting the normal use of the screw connector 403.

[0070] The open annular frame unit 3 further includes a rubber tube 304 sleeved on the open annular ring 301 and used to engage the tree a, and a longitudinal through opening 305 disposed on the rubber tube 304 and used to pass through the inclined support plate unit 2.

[0071] In this embodiment, the rubber tube 304 and the rubber protective tube 405 are the same in material, shape, and function, but differ in size and are selected as needed. The main function of the length-direction through opening 305 is:

[0072] First, the inclined support plate unit 2 is allowed to be installed first, and then the rubber tube 304 is installed by fitting it in;

[0073] Secondly, since the cross-sectional shape of the tree trunk is not necessarily circular, when it is engaged on the open ring 301, the effective position of the open ring 301 providing the engagement effect is uncertain. The rubber tube 304 can slide and shift on the open ring 301 as needed, ensuring that the soft support effect provided by the rubber tube 304 is more comprehensive and flexible.

[0074] Meanwhile, the opening width of the through opening 305 should not be too large to prevent the rubber tube 304 from easily falling off the opening ring 301.

[0075] Finally, the phrase "for municipal greening" means that it can be used, not only for. For example, the support frame can also be used for: landscaping and commercial greening.

[0076] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. These are non-inventive modifications and are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of this application.
