Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree planting technology, and in particular to a fruit tree pressing device for fruit tree planting. Background Technology
[0002] In fruit tree cultivation, branch layering (also known as branch pulling) is a crucial shaping and pruning technique. By altering the growth angle and spatial orientation of new shoots or vigorous shoots through external force, it can optimize light and ventilation conditions within the tree canopy, moderate branch growth, and promote the transformation from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. This plays an irreplaceable role in forming a high-yielding tree shape and improving fruit quality and yield.
[0003] Currently, common methods of branch layering mainly rely on traditional, simple tools. One method involves using heavy objects, such as bricks, stones, or cement blocks, which are suspended directly from the branch to be layered using ropes, allowing gravity to pull the branch down. Another method involves driving wooden stakes or iron rods into the ground and then securing the branch to them with ropes. The method of suspending heavy objects is unstable and easily affected by wind, branch growth, or animal collisions, leading to displacement or detachment and causing layering failure. Furthermore, the frequent shaking of hard, heavy objects can easily wear down or damage the bark. Secondly, when using ground-fixed stakes, each adjustment of a branch or change of layering angle requires relocation and re-driving or removing the stakes, which is cumbersome and laborious. Frequent insertion and removal of stakes can severely damage the soil aggregate structure around the fruit tree roots, leading to soil erosion and compaction, thus affecting the normal growth of the fruit tree. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fruit tree pressing device for fruit tree planting. By setting the driving component, it solves the problem of low pressing efficiency and accuracy of existing fruit tree pressing devices for fruit tree planting.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a fruit tree pressing device for fruit tree planting, including a ground fork, a support rod fixed to the top of the ground fork, a wire roller installed on the surface of the support rod, and a connecting rope wound on the surface of the wire roller. A rotation adjustment component is provided at the top of the support rod, and an extension guide component is provided at the top of the rotation adjustment component. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the wire roller, and a drive component is provided at the other end of the rotating shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a worm gear fixedly connected to one end of the shaft, a worm meshing with the surface of the worm gear, and a mounting plate fixedly connected to the top of the ground fork. One end of the worm is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate via a bearing seat.
[0007] Preferably, the rotation adjustment assembly includes a turntable rotatably connected to the top of the support rod via a bearing seat, a limiting hole opened at the bottom of the turntable, a mounting block fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod, and a limiting rod slidably connected to one side of the mounting block.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod, and a spring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the extension guide assembly includes a fixed block mounted on top of the rotation adjustment assembly, a slide rod slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed block, and a guide ring fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the fixing block is provided with a threaded hole, and a bolt rod is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded hole.
[0011] Preferably, the ground fork is provided with a pin at the bottom, and the bottom of the pin is tapered.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting rope is a nylon rope, and the roller is located below the extension guide assembly.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By adopting a drive component composed of a worm gear, the connecting rope can be wound and released in a labor-saving manner. At the same time, its transmission self-locking characteristics can be used to firmly lock the downward pressing angle of the branch, effectively preventing the branch from rebounding and ensuring the long-term stability of the shaping effect. Through the coordinated setting of the rotation adjustment component and the extension guide component, the device can achieve multi-level adjustment and precise traction of fruit tree branches in different directions and at different distances after a single insertion and positioning. The operation is extremely simple, greatly reducing repeated disturbance to the soil around the fruit tree roots, protecting the soil structure, and improving the efficiency and quality of fruit tree pressing operations. It is suitable for the refined tree shape management of modern orchards. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a fruit tree pressing device for fruit tree planting, including a ground fork 1, a support rod 2 fixed to the top of the ground fork 1, a wire roller 3 installed on the surface of the support rod 2, and a connecting rope 4 wound on the surface of the wire roller 3. A rotation adjustment component 5 is provided at the top of the support rod 2, and an extension guide component 6 is provided at the top of the rotation adjustment component 5. A rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the axis of the wire roller 3, and a drive component 8 is provided at the other end of the rotating shaft 7. The drive component 8 includes a worm gear 81 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 7, a worm 82 meshing with the surface of the worm gear 81, and a mounting plate 83 fixedly connected to the top of the ground fork 1. One end of the worm 82 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 83 through a bearing seat. A post is provided at the bottom of the ground fork 1, and the bottom of the post has a conical design. The connecting rope 4 is a nylon rope, and the wire roller 3 is located below the extension guide component 6.
[0018] During operation, the device is firmly inserted into the soil next to the fruit tree using a ground fork 1. The ground fork 1 has three conical posts at its bottom, arranged in a circle. The conical posts reduce the resistance to soil penetration, and the three conical posts form a triangular support to disperse the reaction force of the pressed branch, preventing excessive force on a single point from causing the ground fork 1 to loosen. After determining the branch to be pressed, one end of the connecting rope 4 is led out from the wire roller 3, passed through the guide ring 63, and tied to the appropriate position on the branch. The worm 82 of the drive assembly 8 is rotated, which drives the worm wheel 81 and the wire roller 3 to rotate, slowly winding up the connecting rope 4, thereby pulling the branch down to the ideal angle. Due to the self-locking property of the worm wheel 81 and the worm 82, the connecting rope 4 can be locked at any position after being wound up or down, preventing the branch from rebounding and ensuring a stable pressed branch state. The nylon rope is lightweight and has high tensile strength, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. The wire roller 3 is placed below the extension guide assembly 6 to prevent the connecting rope 4 from getting tangled with the guide ring 63.
[0019] Example 2 Please see Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0020] Specifically, the rotation adjustment assembly 5 includes a turntable 51 rotatably connected to the top of the support rod 2 via a bearing seat, a limiting hole 52 opened at the bottom of the turntable 51, a mounting block 53 fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 2, a limiting rod 54 slidably connected to one side of the mounting block 53, a limiting plate 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod 54, and a spring 9 sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod 54. One end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block 53, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 10.
[0021] The rotation adjustment component 5 enables rapid horizontal positioning and locking of the extension guide component 6. The spring 9 provides continuous elastic force, causing the limit rod 54 to tend to insert into the limit hole 52 in its natural state, which improves the convenience and reliability of the direction locking. When it is necessary to change the direction of the pull branch, lift the limit rod 54 upward to disengage it from the current limit hole 52. The spring 9 is compressed, and at this time the turntable 51 and the entire extension guide component 6 can be freely rotated horizontally to the target position. Release the limit rod 54, and under the action of the spring 9, its lower end automatically engages in the corresponding limit hole 52 to complete the direction locking and avoid repeated disassembly of the device.
[0022] Example 3 Please see Figure 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0023] Specifically, the extension guide assembly 6 includes a fixed block 61 installed on the top of the rotation adjustment assembly 5, a slide rod 62 slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed block 61, a guide ring 63 fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 62, and a threaded hole 11 provided on the top of the fixed block 61, with a bolt rod 12 threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded hole 11.
[0024] The extension guide assembly 6 adjusts the force direction of the connecting rope 4 to adapt to the branch pressing requirements of different positions. The slide rod 62 extends and retracts along the fixed block 61 to change the horizontal distance of the guide ring 63, thereby adjusting the lever arm of the branch pulling force to adapt to branches of different thicknesses and positions, expanding the working range of the single-point device. Tightening the bolt rod 12 squeezes the slide rod 62 to achieve locking. The guide ring 63 guides the connecting rope 4 to be subjected to vertical force, avoiding damage to the branches from lateral tension.
