A branch shaping device for fruit trees

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree shaping, specifically a branch shaping device for fruit trees, including two fixing rings. The utility model incorporates an anti-slip mechanism, using a positioning rod to support the anti-slip plate, ensuring that the anti-slip plate and fixing rings are at the same horizontal level. When the fixing rings slide downwards, the anti-slip pad remains in contact with the tree trunk surface. The different frictional forces between the fixing rings, anti-slip plate, and anti-slip pad correspond to different positions on the tree trunk surface, allowing for the selection of an appropriate angle based on the trunk's condition. This improves the stability of the fixing rings during use and solves the problem that shaping devices typically rely solely on their own friction or bolts for fixation, which can easily slip or loosen in windy conditions, leading to positional shifts and affecting the branch shaping effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree shaping, specifically a branch shaping device for fruit trees. Background Technology

[0002] Shaping fruit tree branches is a crucial step in fruit tree cultivation. Through scientific pruning and regulation, the tree structure can be optimized, nutrient distribution balanced, and fruit quality and yield improved. The framework can be shaped according to the characteristics of the tree species to ensure overall ventilation and light penetration for the fruit tree. At the same time, it can prevent excessive branch density from causing nutrient competition and promote flower bud differentiation.

[0003] However, existing shaping devices usually rely solely on their own friction or bolts for fixation. In windy weather or other conditions, they are prone to slipping or loosening, which can cause the shaping device to shift and affect the shaping effect on the branches. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the shaping device is usually fixed by its own friction or bolts. In windy weather or other situations, it is easy to slip or loosen, which will cause the shaping device to shift and affect the shaping effect on the branches. This utility model proposes a branch shaping device for fruit trees.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a branch shaping device for fruit trees, including two fixing rings, a fixing seat fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the fixing seat, a shaping rod fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, a shaping ring fixedly connected to one end of the shaping rod, a protective pad fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the shaping ring, the protective pad being made of polyurethane foam, and an anti-slip mechanism installed in the inner cavity of the fixing ring;

[0006] The anti-slip mechanism includes a movable groove, which is located at the bottom of a fixed ring. A positioning rod is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the movable groove. An anti-slip plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the positioning rod. An anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the anti-slip plate. The anti-slip pad is made of resin-based carbon fiber.

[0007] Preferably, a storage groove is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the movable groove, and the inner cavity of the storage groove is slidably connected to the surface of the anti-slip plate.

[0008] Preferably, the inner cavity of the fixing ring is provided with a connecting groove, and a connecting plate is inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting groove. One side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring.

[0009] Preferably, both the fixing ring and the connecting plate have fixing grooves in their inner cavities, and a fixing rod is threaded into the inner cavity of the fixing groove.

[0010] Preferably, a positioning seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring, and a positioning groove is provided in the inner cavity of the positioning seat, and the inner cavity of the positioning groove is engaged with the surface of the fixing rod.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel, and the surface of the rotating wheel is provided with grooves. The number of grooves is several and they are distributed in a ring around the surface of the rotating wheel.

[0012] Preferably, both the fixed base and the rotating wheel have insertion slots in their inner cavities, and insertion rods are inserted into the inner cavities of the insertion slots.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention features an anti-slip mechanism that uses a positioning rod to support the anti-slip plate, ensuring it is level with the fixing ring. As the fixing ring slides downwards, the anti-slip pad remains in contact with the tree trunk surface. The varying friction between the fixing ring, anti-slip plate, and anti-slip pad allows for adjustments based on different positions on the tree trunk surface, enabling the selection of an appropriate angle. This improves the stability of the fixing ring during use and solves the problem that traditional shaping devices, which rely solely on friction or bolts for fixation, are prone to slipping or loosening in windy conditions, leading to misalignment and affecting the shaping effect on branches.

[0021] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses a branch shaping device for fruit trees. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A branch shaping device for fruit trees includes two fixing rings 1. A fixing seat 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring 1. A rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the fixing seat 3. A shaping rod 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 7. A shaping ring 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaping rod 5. A protective pad 6 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the shaping ring 4. The protective pad 6 is made of polyurethane foam. After the protective pad 6, made of polyurethane foam, is placed on the surface of the branch in the inner cavity of the shaping ring 4, it can protect the surface of the branch. It has excellent energy absorption capacity and can effectively disperse the impact force on the branch during shaping, avoid damage to the bark, and reduce the pressure injury to the branch caused by hard contact. An anti-slip mechanism 2 is installed in the inner cavity of the fixing ring 1.

[0024] The anti-slip mechanism 2 includes a movable groove 207, which is located at the bottom of the fixed ring 1. A positioning rod 208 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the movable groove 207. An anti-slip plate 205 is rotatably connected to the surface of the positioning rod 208. An anti-slip pad 210 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the anti-slip plate 205. The anti-slip pad 210 is made of resin-based carbon fiber. Through the anti-slip pad 210 made of resin-based carbon fiber, the carbon fiber as a reinforcement can significantly improve the overall strength and wear resistance of the material, while maintaining low density and high temperature resistance. Its high specific strength and specific modulus make it less prone to deformation when subjected to large loads, ensuring stability during long-term use.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the inner cavity of the active groove 207 is provided with a storage groove 209. The inner cavity of the storage groove 209 is slidably connected to the surface of the anti-slip plate 205. The setting of the storage groove 209 limits the rotation angle of the anti-slip plate 205, preventing the anti-slip plate 205 from rotating too much, which would cause the anti-slip pad 210 to detach from the tree trunk surface. In addition, during the use of the anti-slip plate 205, it can also maintain the same position as the fixing ring 1, preventing the surface of the fixing ring 1 from having protrusions.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 The inner cavity of the fixing ring 1 is provided with a connecting groove 201, and a connecting plate 206 is inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting groove 201. One side of the connecting plate 206 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring 1. Through the setting of the connecting groove 201, the surface of the connecting plate 206 can be inserted into the interior of the fixing ring 1. At the same time, the two connecting plates 206 are arranged opposite to each other, which can ensure the stability of the connection process of the two fixing rings 1 and prevent the fixing ring 1 on one side from slipping and loosening.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 The inner cavities of the fixing ring 1 and the connecting plate 206 are both provided with fixing grooves 211. The inner cavity of the fixing groove 211 is threaded with a fixing rod 203. By setting the fixing groove 211, the surface of the fixing rod 203 can be inserted into the interior of the fixing ring 1 and the connecting plate 206, thereby reinforcing the position of the connecting plate 206 and preventing the connecting plate 206 from detaching from the interior of the connecting groove 201 during use.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A positioning seat 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring 1. The inner cavity of the positioning seat 204 is provided with a positioning groove 202. The inner cavity of the positioning groove 202 is engaged with the surface of the fixing rod 203. The positioning seat 204 improves the stability of the fixing rod 203 during use and reduces the contact between rainwater and the surface of the fixing rod 203. At the same time, the positioning groove 202 positions and stores the fixing rod 203, which can prevent the fixing rod 203 from becoming loose during use.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 One end of the rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 10. The surface of the rotating wheel 10 is provided with grooves 11. There are several grooves 11 and they are distributed in a ring around the surface of the rotating wheel 10. By setting the rotating wheel 10, the contact area between the operator's hand and the rotating rod 7 is increased, which makes it easier to adjust the angle of the shaping ring 4. The grooves 11 are used to increase the roughness of the surface of the rotating wheel 10, improve the friction between the hand and the rotating wheel 10, and prevent slippage.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 Both the fixing base 3 and the rotating wheel 10 have insertion slots 8 in their inner cavities. Insertion rods 9 are inserted into the inner cavities of the insertion slots 8. By setting the insertion slots 8, the surface of the insertion rods 9 can be inserted into the interior of the fixing base 3 and the rotating wheel 10, thereby fixing the position of the rotating wheel 10, ensuring the stability of the shaping ring 4 during use, and preventing the shaping ring 4 from shifting position during use, which would affect the shaping effect on the branches.

[0031] Working principle: First, move the fixing ring 1 to the surface of the tree trunk. Move both fixing rings 1 inward until the inner cavity of the fixing ring 1 fits onto the surface of the tree trunk. Before moving the fixing ring 1, observe the condition of the tree trunk surface and adjust the angle of the fixing ring 1. Align the anti-slip pad 210 with a smooth surface to ensure effective friction with the tree trunk. During the movement of the fixing ring 1, the connecting plate 206 will move synchronously. After the fixing ring 1 is in place, the surface of the connecting plate 206 will insert into the interior of the connecting groove 201 to position the fixing ring 1 and ensure its stability during use. Then, hold the fixing rod 203 to... Rotate to insert the surface of the fixing rod 203 into the interior of the fixing ring 1 and the connecting plate 206, fixing the position of the connecting plate 206 and preventing it from detaching from the interior of the connecting groove 201 during use. This prevents the fixing ring 1 from shifting due to loosening after long-term use, thus affecting the shaping effect. During the use of the fixing ring 1, the positioning rod 208 supports the position of the anti-slip plate 205, ensuring that the anti-slip plate 205 and the fixing ring 1 are at the same level. When the fixing ring 1 slides downward, the anti-slip pad 210 will remain in contact with the tree trunk surface, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixing ring 1 during use.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
