Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fixing system, and more particularly to a tree windproof fixing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the current technology, due to the special geographical environment of Taiwan, China, Taiwan is prone to many natural disasters (such as typhoons, earthquakes, etc.). When typhoons pass through Taiwan, they usually bring a lot of rainfall and strong winds. In order to enable plants to withstand strong winds, relevant operators usually set up windproof supports around the plants to enhance their ability to resist wind and prevent them from collapsing or breaking due to strong winds.

[0003] However, traditional windbreak supports mostly use thick wooden strips with ropes for tripod fixation, which has disadvantages such as: trees are prone to rot, construction is difficult, the support structure is poor and it is difficult to meet mechanical design requirements, and the cost is high. In addition, most tree windbreak supports sold on the market have disadvantages such as complex design, inconvenient operation, high cost, or can only be used for trees in certain specific conditions. There are also other devices that are obviously unable to effectively fix trees: such as simple ground jacks, or devices that are obviously unable to withstand strong winds. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of traditional windproof supports, such as difficult construction, high cost, and insufficient stability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a tree windproofing and fixing system, which is installed around a tree.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To facilitate the explanation of the central idea of ​​this utility model as described above, specific embodiments are now presented. Various objects in the embodiments are drawn to a scale suitable for illustration, rather than to the actual proportions of the components, as will be stated prior.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 7As shown, a tree windproof fixing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. It is disposed around a tree 200. The tree windproof fixing system 100 includes a support device 10, a connecting device 20, and a supporting device 30. The support device 10 includes a plurality of support members 11; the connecting device 20 includes a plurality of connectors 21; and the supporting device 30 includes a plurality of supporting members 31. The support members 11 of the support device 10, the connectors 21 of the connecting device 20, and the supporting members 31 of the supporting device 30 are interconnected and disposed around the periphery of the tree 200 to fix the tree 200, thereby preventing the tree 200 from falling or breaking due to strong winds.

[0021] The support device 10 has multiple support members 11 disposed on the ground around the tree 200. Each support member 11 has a base 111 and a first connecting portion 112 protruding from the base 111. In this embodiment, there are three support members 11, thereby enabling the support device 10 to stably support the connecting device 20 and the abutment device 30 through a basic three-point arrangement, thus stably fixing the tree 200. In other embodiments, the number of support members 11 is not limited to three, and the user can adjust the number according to the actual situation (e.g., the size of the tree, the environment in which it is set, etc.).

[0022] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 112 is inclined relative to the base 111, thereby enabling the tree 200 to be stabilized by cooperating with the connecting device 20 and the abutting device 30. The first connecting portion 112 gradually expands towards the ground, so that when each connector 21 of the connecting device 20 is tubular, the first connecting portion 112 can be fitted into one end of each connector 21 of the connecting device 20 through its gradually expanding appearance, so as to be stably connected with each connector 21 of the connecting device 20. Alternatively, in other embodiments, if each connector 21 of the connecting device 20 is columnar and does not have holes, the user can also make the first connecting portion 112 into a hole shape, so that the first connecting portion 112 is fitted onto one end of each connector 21 of the connecting device 20, so as to be stably connected with each connector 21 of the connecting device 20.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figure 2As shown, in other embodiments, each support member 11 has an insertion portion 113, which protrudes from the base 111 on the side away from the first connecting portion 112. Therefore, when the ground material is soft (e.g., sand, soil), the insertion portion 113 can be directly inserted into the ground, allowing the support member 11 to more stably support the connecting device 20 and the supporting device 30, thereby enabling the present invention to more stably fix the tree 200. The protruding direction of the insertion portion 113 of each support member 11 is perpendicular to the axial direction of each connecting member 21 of the connecting device 20. This effectively disperses the force on the tree 200 when it is subjected to strong winds, preventing the tree 200 from falling or breaking due to strong winds.

[0024] The connecting device 20 has a first connecting end 211 and a second connecting end 212 at both ends of each connecting member 21. The first connecting end 211 connects to the first connecting portion 112 of each support member 11; the second connecting end 212 connects to each abutting member 31 of the abutting device 30. In this embodiment, each connecting member 21 is tubular and can be made of plastic or metal. In other embodiments, each connecting member 21 can also be a column without a perforated structure. Furthermore, any long strip-shaped object with a connecting and supporting function can be used as a connecting member 21.

[0025] The supporting device 30 has multiple supporting members 31 arranged around the periphery of the trunk of the tree 200. Each supporting member 31 has a top abutment 311 and a second connecting portion 312. The top abutment 311 abuts against the periphery of the trunk of the tree 200, and the second connecting portion 312 protrudes from the side of the top abutment 311 away from the tree 200 and connects to the second connecting end 212. In this embodiment, the top abutment 311 is arc-shaped, so that the top abutment 311 can fit against the cylindrical trunk of the tree 200, so that the top abutment 311 can provide more support force to support the tree 200; the second connecting portion 312 is inclined relative to the top abutment 311, so that the tree 200 can be stabilized by the connecting device 20 and the supporting device 30 through the inclined second connecting portion 312.

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the top abutment 311 has a top abutment surface 311a and a setting surface 311b disposed opposite to each other. The top abutment surface 311a fits against the periphery of the trunk of the tree 200 to stably support the tree 200; the setting surface 311b is provided for the second connecting part 312.

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a protrusion 311c is provided at each end of the surface 311b. When the user wants to strengthen the overall structural strength of this invention with a rope, the user can use the protrusions 311c of each abutment member 31 as winding points for the rope, binding and fixing the abutment members 31 together to complete the rope winding and fixing process of the abutment device 30. In this way, the protrusions 311c allow the user to more easily and quickly complete the rope winding and fixing process of the abutment device 30, further improving the overall structural strength of the abutment device 30 and preventing the abutment device 30 from falling off and causing the tree 200 to be unstablely supported.

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the second connecting portion 312 has a connecting section 312a and a blocking section 312b. The connecting section 312a connects to the second connecting end 212 and tapers towards the ground; the blocking section 312b is disposed between the connecting section 312a and the mounting surface 311b and abuts against the end edge of the second connecting end 212. Therefore, when each connector 21 of the connecting device 20 is tubular, the second connecting portion 312, through its tapered appearance, can be adapted to be inserted into the second connecting end 212 of each connector 21 of the connecting device 20, and the blocking section 312b can stably abut against the end edge of the second connecting end 212, thereby securely connecting with each connector 21 of the connecting device 20.

[0029] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 As shown, in other embodiments, there are two second connecting portions 312, which protrude from the mounting surface 311b in opposite directions. This allows multiple connecting portions 21 to be connected using a single abutting member 31, thereby reducing the overall installation cost and shortening the installation time of this invention.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 As shown, in other embodiments, the second connecting portion 312 has a sleeve hole 312c, which is fitted onto the second connecting end 212. Therefore, even if each connector 21 of the connecting device 20 is cylindrical and does not have holes, the user can still securely connect to each connector 21 of the connecting device 20 by fitting the second connecting portion 312 with the sleeve hole 312c onto the second connecting end 212 of each connector 21 of the connecting device 20.

[0031] Additionally, please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the installation positions and installation methods of the various devices of this utility model are presented. However, the installation is not limited to the method shown in the figure. The support members 11 and the abutment members 31 of various forms can be arranged and combined according to the user's needs so that this utility model can be implemented on the tree 200 in the best form, so that the tree 200 can be stably fixed by this utility model.

[0032] Therefore, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. Through the interconnection of the support device 10, the connecting device 20 and the supporting device 30, this utility model can be stably set around the tree 200 and can stably support and fix the tree 200 to prevent the tree 200 from falling or breaking due to strong winds.

[0033] 2. The connection between the support device 10, the connecting device 20 and the supporting device 30 of this utility model is simple, which allows users to quickly and conveniently assemble this utility model. Furthermore, each device of this utility model is detachable, so each device of this utility model can be reused, thereby achieving the advantage of reducing the cost of use.

[0034] 3. When the ground material is soft (such as sand, soil, etc.), the insertion part 113 of this utility model can be directly inserted into the ground, so that the support member 11 can more stably support the connecting device 20 and the supporting device 30, thereby making the tree 200 more stably fixed. The protruding direction of the insertion part 113 of each support member 11 is perpendicular to the axial direction of each connecting member 21 of the connecting device 20. Therefore, when the tree 200 is subjected to strong winds, the force borne by the tree 200 can be effectively dispersed, thereby preventing the tree 200 from falling or breaking due to strong winds.

[0035] 4. If the user wants to strengthen the overall structural strength of this utility model with rope, the user can use the protrusions 311c of each abutment member 31 as the winding points for rope winding, so that the rope binds and fixes each abutment member 31 together, thereby completing the rope winding and fixing process of the abutment device 30. In this way, the protrusions 311c enable the user to complete the rope winding and fixing process of the abutment device 30 more conveniently and quickly, and further improve the overall structural strength of the abutment device 30, preventing the abutment device 30 from falling off and causing the tree 200 to be unable to be stably supported.

[0036] Although this utility model is described with reference to a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. All modifications or alterations made without departing from the spirit of this utility model are within the scope of the patent applications of this utility model.
