Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gardening tools technology, specifically to a convenient branch dropper. Background Technology

[0002] In fruit tree cultivation or flower planting, it is often necessary to train, pull down, or fix overly dense branches, vigorous shoots, or diseased and weak branches to adjust the tree shape, improve ventilation and light penetration, or promote flower bud differentiation. Traditionally:

[0003] Initially, farmers would tie heavy objects such as soil bags, bricks, and stones to the branches, which would tear the branches apart.

[0004] Later, using ground anchors to tie ropes and pull branches at an angle was laborious and affected access to the forest;

[0005] The metal branch pulling tool requires skilled workers to operate, and the wages are relatively high. Novices are prone to twisting or breaking the branches (the branches are more brittle in spring). During the use of the metal branch pulling tool, the branches need to be twisted repeatedly to soften them before the tool is attached.

[0006] However, cement wire hooks used for casting branch weights are prone to falling off in the wind and damaging the branches. Utility Model Content

[0007] (I) Problems to be solved

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a convenient and reliable branch dropper that is easy to operate and hold.

[0009] (II) Technical Solution

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a convenient branch dropper, including a left clamping arm and a right clamping arm that are hinged to each other, a left clamping head and a right clamping head respectively connected to the top of the left clamping arm and the right clamping arm, and a first clamping hole groove and a second clamping hole groove formed between the adjacent surfaces of the left clamping head and the right clamping head.

[0011] A snap-fit ​​hinge foot is formed between the left and right clamping arms. The lower ends of the left and right clamping arms are both provided with downward protruding pinch feet. An elastic reset structure is also snapped between the left and right clamping heads.

[0012] As an improvement, the inner diameter of the first clamping groove is smaller than the inner diameter of the second clamping groove.

[0013] As an improvement, the snap-fit ​​hinged foot includes two sets of identical protruding foot structures;

[0014] The protruding foot structure includes a first hinge protruding foot, a first hinge groove, a second hinge protruding foot, and a second hinge groove arranged sequentially along the width direction of the left or right clamping arm.

[0015] As an improvement, the elastic reset structure includes an elastic rod with a cross-section in the shape of an inverted triangle and a locking groove, wherein the locking groove is respectively disposed in the left clamping arm and the right clamping arm;

[0016] Both legs of the elastic rod are recessed inward to form a foot-holding flange, and the inner wall of the slot is provided with a foot-holding groove to fit the recessed foot-holding flange.

[0017] The slots inside the left and right clamping arms are respectively provided through the lower walls of the left and right clamping arms.

[0018] As an improvement, both the left and right clamps of the left clamp are recessed with corresponding engagement grooves.

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are: it is convenient and quick to operate, easy to learn, does not damage branches and trunks, and even novices can operate it. It makes the branches grow downward by their own weight, turning them into fruit-bearing branches to increase yield. The eagle beak structure, circular appearance design and hole and groove width design of this product increase wind resistance and effectively prevent this product from falling off and damaging branches in windy weather.

[0021] The hinged legs are formed by two sets of protruding foot structures, eliminating the need for additional bolts or pins. This makes assembly convenient and ensures a stable connection, preventing loosening at the hinge during use. Meanwhile, the elastic rod in the elastic reset structure provides continuous inward elastic force to the left and right clamping arms through the clamping foot flange and clamping foot groove, ensuring the clamping force of the clamp on the branch. Squeezing the lower clamping foot overcomes the elastic force to open the clamping arms, and they automatically reset and close after being released, making operation labor-saving and efficient.

[0022] In this application, the inner diameters of the first clamping slot and the second clamping slot are different, which can clamp thin branches and thick branches respectively, thus expanding the applicability of the tool. At the same time, the branches can be picked off and collected for reuse after they have been shaped. Attached Figure Description

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-3 A convenient branch dropper includes a left clamping arm 1 and a right clamping arm 2 that are hinged to each other. The top ends of the left clamping arm 1 and the right clamping arm 2 are respectively connected to a left clamping head 3 and a right clamping head 4. A first clamping groove 5 and a second clamping groove 6 are formed between the adjacent surfaces of the left clamping head 3 and the right clamping head 4.

[0034] The left clamping arm 1 and the right clamping arm 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​hinge foot. The lower ends of the left clamping arm 1 and the right clamping arm 2 are both provided with downward protruding pinch feet 7. The left clamping head 3 and the right clamping head 4 are also connected by an elastic reset structure. When in use, the elastic reset structure provides clamping force, and the first clamping hole groove 5 and the second clamping hole groove 6 are opened to complete the hanging of branches.

[0035] In one embodiment, in order to accommodate branches and buds of different diameters, the inner diameter of the first clamping groove 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second clamping groove 6, which can respectively accommodate tender branches with smaller diameters and old branches with larger diameters. For different fruit tree varieties, according to their different growth stages, different specifications of products can be used to meet different diameter application needs.

[0036] In one embodiment:

[0037] The snap-fit ​​hinged foot includes two sets of identical protruding foot structures.

[0038] The protruding foot structure includes a first hinge protruding foot 8, a first hinge groove 9, a second hinge protruding foot 10, and a second hinge groove 11 arranged sequentially along the width direction of the left clamping arm 1 or the right clamping arm 2.

[0039] When assembling, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the two convex foot structures, the first hinge protrusion is inserted into the second hinge groove, and the second hinge protrusion is inserted into the second hinge groove 11, completing the snap-locking. No additional bolts or pins are required, making assembly convenient and the connection stable. The reverse is also true. The hinge of the left and right clamping arms is achieved through the four sets of convex and concave fits, without the need for additional connecting parts. The structure is compact and the connection is reliable.

[0040] In order to provide clamping force during use and to facilitate quick disassembly and assembly with other structures, the elastic reset structure includes an elastic rod 12 with a cross-section of C and a slot 14, the slot 14 being respectively provided in the left clamping arm 1 and the right clamping arm 2;

[0041] Both legs of the elastic rod 12 are recessed inward to form a foot-holding flange 13, and the inner wall of the slot 14 is provided with a foot-holding groove 15 to fit the foot-holding flange 13.

[0042] The slots 14 inside the left clamping arm 1 and the right clamping arm 2 are respectively provided through the lower walls of the left clamping arm 1 and the right clamping arm 2;

[0043] Through the opening at the lower end of the slot 14, the elastic rod 12 is inserted upwards, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the ends of the elastic rod 12 are extended outwards, making it easy to push upwards, and the foot flange 13 is engaged with the foot groove 15 to complete the installation.

[0044] More specifically, the elastic reset structure is located inside the left and right clamping arms to provide elastic force for closing the clamping arms. It includes an elastic rod with a cross-section of C-shape, and the two legs of the elastic rod are respectively embedded in the slots inside the left and right clamping arms.

[0045] The inner side of the support leg of the elastic rod is concave to form a foot-holding flange, while the inner wall of the slot in the left and right clamping arms is concave to form a foot-holding groove. The positioning of the elastic rod is achieved by the cooperation of the flange and the groove.

[0046] In addition, the slots inside the left and right clamping arms extend downwards through the lower wall of the clamping arms, facilitating the installation and replacement of the elastic rod.

[0047] When the pinch feet at the lower end of the left and right clamping arms are pinched, the clamping arms open against the elastic force of the elastic rod; after the pinch feet are released, the rebound force of the elastic rod drives the clamping arms to close automatically, making operation convenient.

[0048] In one embodiment:

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, both the left chuck 3 and the right chuck 4 are recessed with corresponding engagement grooves 16.

[0050] In practical implementation, the hand holds the pinch foot and pries it open to both sides, causing the left and right clamping arms to open. The target branch is placed into the first or second clamping slot, depending on the thickness of the branch. The pinch foot is then released, and the elastic reset structure drives the clamping arms to close. The left and right clamps then grip the branch through the interlocking grooves, completing the fixation. When disassembly is required, the pinch foot is pried open again to remove the branch.
