Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of planting and shaping devices, and in particular to a planting and shaping device for fruit trees. Background Technology
[0002] Branch shaping is one of the methods of fruit tree planting and shaping. It is a shaping method that artificially changes the growth angle and distribution direction of branches. The fruit tree planting branch shaping device is a special equipment for fruit tree shaping. It consists of adjustable pressure rods, limiting grooves, elastic fixing parts, etc. It is mostly made of galvanized metal or weather-resistant plastic materials. Through the operation of pushing, kneading, pressing and fixing, the angle of the branches is precisely adjusted to prevent them from being loosened by the wind.
[0003] In fruit tree cultivation, the core function of the branch-shaping device is to guide the growth direction of branches and adjust their spatial distribution through physical force, ultimately optimizing the crown shape of the fruit tree, promoting flower bud differentiation, and fruit development. The original technique involved repeatedly pushing the branch upwards and downwards by hand to press it down to the desired angle and position, then tying the branch to a weight to achieve the purpose of branch shaping. However, when pressing down the branch, the angle was entirely judged by visual inspection without any quantitative reference, resulting in significant differences in the branch-shaping angles of different branches within the same orchard. If the branches are pulled too flat, they will droop and break under the weight after fruiting. The existing technology uses an adjustable support arm to add to the traditional branch pulling device. One end of the support arm is fixed to the trunk or ground support, and the other end supports the middle of the branch after it is pressed, forming a double structure of pulling at a fixed angle above and supporting the weight below. However, the branch-supporting end of the support arm is usually a slot or pad of a fixed size. As the branch grows, it will become thicker and the slot size will not be enough to fit properly, causing the support point to shift and the branch will still have the risk of drooping and breaking. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a fruit tree planting branch pressing and shaping device, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where different branch sizes lead to the inability of the slot size to fit properly, the support point to shift, and the risk of branches drooping and breaking.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The pulling assembly includes a rotating rod, the top end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of a guide groove, and a fixing block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the guide groove.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: A knob is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod, and the knob is circular.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: Multiple moving columns are installed on the left side of the outer wall of the branch.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: A clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing plate, and a locking assembly is fixedly connected to the front side of the clamping assembly.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, after the branch is clamped, the pulling component is activated, the rotating rod rotates in the guide groove and rotates in the threaded part of the fixing block, so that the guide groove is close to the fixing block to press the branch.

[0014] In this utility model, after the pressing mechanism completes its work, the shaping mechanism is activated to adjust the angle, the nut of the locking bolt is loosened, and the lower pressing plate is moved to a suitable angle. The lower pressing plate drives the fixed sliding block to slide in the grooved arc plate inside the outer shell. The limiting post restricts the angle to be too large.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a fruit tree planting branch pressing and shaping device, including a fixed plate 1, a branch pressing mechanism 2 installed on the right side of the fixed plate 1, the branch pressing mechanism 2 being used to pull down fruit tree branches, and a shaping mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed plate 1, the shaping mechanism 3 being used to adjust the downward angle of the device; the branch pressing mechanism 2 includes multiple clamping heads 201, the multiple clamping heads 201 being installed on the right side of the fixed plate 1, and a sliding plate 202 fixedly connected to the bottom of each clamping head 201, the middle of the sliding plate 202 being threadedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod. 203, the two ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 203 are rotatably connected to guide grooves 204, and a pulling component 205 is installed at the bottom of the guide groove 204. The pulling component 205 includes a rotating rod 2051, the top end of the rotating rod 2051 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the guide groove 204, and a fixing block 2052 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the guide groove 204. Sponges 4 are fixedly connected to each adjacent side of the clamping head 201, and branch strips 5 are fixedly connected to each adjacent side of the sponges 4. A knob 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 2051. The knob 6 is circular. Specifically, when the bidirectional threaded rod 203 rotates inside the guide groove 204, it drives the sliding plate 202 that it is cooperating with to move. The sliding plate 202 then pulls the clamping head 201 fixed thereon, causing the clamping heads 201 to move closer together to clamp the branch 5. After the branch 5 is stably clamped, the pulling assembly 205 is activated, and the knob 6 is turned, causing the rotating rod 2051 to rotate inside the guide groove 204. The rotating rod 2051 moves through the threaded transmission inside the fixed block 2052, causing the guide groove 204 to gradually move closer to the fixed block 2052, thereby achieving... In the pressing operation of branch 5, the sliding plate 202, driven by the bidirectional threaded rod 203, drives the clamping head 201 to precisely adjust the spacing, which can adapt to branches 5 of different thicknesses. At the same time, the sponge 4 inside the clamping head 201 can play a buffering and protective role, avoiding excessive clamping force from damaging the branches. This structure, through adjustable clamping method and buffer design, effectively solves the problem that branches are difficult to adapt to the fixing device due to changes in thickness during growth, which can easily lead to branch breakage. It not only ensures the pressing effect, but also protects the normal growth of the branches.
[0019] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The shaping mechanism 3 includes a lower pressure plate 301. The right side of the lower pressure plate 301 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing block 2052. A sliding block 302 is fixedly connected to the left side of the lower pressure plate 301. A locking bolt 303 is threadedly connected to the middle of the sliding block 302. Multiple grooved arc plates 304 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the locking bolt 303. Multiple limiting posts 305 are slidably connected to the outer wall of each grooved arc plate 304. A housing 306 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of each limiting post 305. Specifically, after the pressing mechanism 2 completes the pressing operation, the shaping mechanism 3 is activated to adjust the bending angle and position of the branch 5 as required. During operation, first loosen the nut of the locking bolt 303 to release the fixation of the lower pressing plate 301, and then move the lower pressing plate 301 to rotate it around the connection point to a suitable angle. During the angle adjustment process of the lower pressing plate 301, the sliding block 302 fixed to it will slide synchronously along the arc track of the grooved arc plate 304 inside the outer shell 306 to ensure the stability of the angle adjustment; at the same time, the limiting post 30 5 will limit the sliding range of the sliding block 302 to prevent the lower pressure plate 301 from rotating too much and damaging the branches. After the angle is adjusted to the correct position, tighten the nut of the locking bolt 303 to fix the lower pressure plate 301 in the current position. Through the coordinated cooperation of the shaping mechanism 3 and the pressing mechanism 2, the pressing mechanism 2 can achieve the initial bending of the branches, and the shaping mechanism 3 can precisely customize different bending angles to meet the diverse needs of the branch shape in the process of beautifying fruit trees and improve the flexibility and accuracy of the pressing operation.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple moving columns 8 are installed on the left side of the outer wall of the branch 5. The outer wall of the moving column 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 1. A spring 9 is fixedly connected to each side of the moving column 8. A fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the other side of the spring 9. The rear side of the fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed plate 1. A clamping assembly 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed plate 1. A locking assembly 12 is fixedly connected to the front side of the clamping assembly 11. Specifically, after the clamping component 11 is fixed to the fruit tree, the locking component 12 will firmly lock the clamping component 11 to ensure the stability of the entire device on the fruit tree. At this time, the moving column 8 is pushed upward under the elastic force of the spring 9, and is limited by the fixing plate 10. It can only slide along the set trajectory inside the fixing plate 1. This sliding of the moving column 8 can temporarily fix the branch, keep the branch in a relatively stable position, and prevent it from shifting or shaking during the pressing and shaping operation. This temporary fixation provides convenient conditions for the subsequent pressing operation of the pressing mechanism 2 and the angle adjustment of the shaping mechanism 3, ensuring that the pressing and shaping operation can be carried out accurately and efficiently, and improving the convenience and reliability of the overall operation.
[0021] Working principle: As the bidirectional threaded rod 203 rotates inside the guide groove 204, it drives the sliding plate 202 inside the bidirectional threaded rod 203 to pull the fixed clamping head 201 to clamp the branch 5. After the branch 5 is clamped, the pulling component 205 is activated, and the rotating rod 2051 inside rotates inside the guide groove 204 and rotates threadedly inside the fixed block 2052, so that the guide groove 204 moves closer to the fixed block 2052, thereby achieving the purpose of pressing the branch. As the sliding plate 202 rotates in the bidirectional threaded rod 203, the clamping heads 201 move closer to each other, thereby solving the problem of branch breakage due to the difficulty in matching the size of the branches during the growth process. After the pressing mechanism 2 completes its work, the shaping mechanism 3 is activated to adjust the required angle position. The nut of the locking bolt 303 is loosened, and then the lower pressing plate 301 is moved to adjust to a suitable angle. As the lower pressing plate 301 adjusts its angle, it drives the sliding block 302 fixed to it to slide in the grooved arc plate 304 inside the outer shell 306. Under the restriction of the limiting post 305, the angle is prevented from being too large. With the cooperation of the shaping mechanism 3 and the pressing mechanism 2, different bending angles can be customized in the process of pressing fruit tree beautification.
