Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscaping technology, specifically an improved tree branch adjustment component for landscaping. Background Technology

[0002] Landscape greening is the creation of a beautiful natural environment and recreational space within a specific area through engineering techniques and artistic means. This involves modifying the terrain (or further constructing hills, stacking rocks, and managing water), planting trees and flowers, constructing buildings, and arranging garden paths. Gardens include courtyards, residential gardens, small parks, flower gardens, parks, botanical gardens, zoos, etc. With the development of landscape architecture, it also includes forest parks, scenic spots, nature reserves, national park areas, and resorts. Landscape greening naturally relies heavily on the support of seedlings. Seedlings are one of the first materials prepared for landscape greening. After transplanting, to match the characteristics of the surrounding environment, the branches of the seedlings are adjusted. Traditionally, this adjustment of tree branches within a garden relies solely on a single binding strap. This process has poor precision in adjusting branch direction, is laborious, and easily damages the branches.

[0003] To address the aforementioned drawbacks, a utility model patent with authorized patent number CN 218473814 U discloses a tree branch adjustment component for landscaping, comprising a semi-circular ring. A protrusion is fixed to the outer end of the semi-circular ring, and a bolt is provided inside the protrusion. A portion of the bolt passes through the protrusion. Although the magnitude and precision of the tightening force on the branches can be precisely adjusted by the number of rotations of the sleeve, the overall operation is relatively labor-saving. Furthermore, the contact area between the sleeve and the branch is large, making it less likely to damage the branch to be adjusted.

[0004] However, its adjustment components still have some minor drawbacks in actual use. For example, during the process of applying force to tree branches, the connection points of the structural components required for the rope winding operation (between the slider and the circular plate, and between the inclined block and the inclined groove) will be exposed to the outside for a long time. Over time, outdoor dust and impurities will accumulate here, seriously reducing the overall durability of the components. In addition, after the force is applied to the tree branches and the positioning is completed, the slider and the groove lack positioning function. When subjected to external wind force, the slider will slide to a certain extent inside the groove, causing the tension of the rope on the tree branches to change significantly, which is not conducive to the high-quality posture adjustment of the tree branches. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved tree branch adjustment component for landscaping to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an improved tree branch adjustment component for landscaping, comprising: a circular ring, a sliding groove, a slider, and a protrusion. The outer wall of the circular ring is provided with a sliding groove, and the slider is slidably engaged inside the sliding groove. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the end face of the slider away from the circular ring, and a winding mechanism is installed on the end face of the protrusion away from the slider. Limiting mechanisms are installed inside the slider and the protrusion.

[0007] Preferably, the winding mechanism includes: a stud, the stud being threadedly connected to the center of the end face of the protrusion away from the slider; a cavity cylinder being fixedly connected to the end of the stud away from the protrusion; a circular plate being provided inside the cavity cylinder; a pull rod being fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the circular plate; a circular plate being fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod; a pair of insert rods being fixedly connected to one side surface of the circular plate; the insert rods being connected to the cavity cylinder through slots; a first compression spring being fitted on the outside of the pull rod; the two ends of the first compression spring being fixedly connected to the circular plate and the cavity cylinder respectively; a cylinder being provided at the other end of the pull rod; a disc being fixedly connected to both ends of the cylinder; one side of the disc being fixedly connected to the pull rod; a pull rope being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder; a binding sleeve being fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rope; rubber rings being fixedly connected to both ends of the cavity cylinder; the rubber rings being abutted against the protrusion and the disc respectively; and a pull ring being fixedly connected to the end face of the disc away from the cylinder on the other side.

[0008] Preferably, a pair of handles are fixed to the outer wall of the cavity cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes: a stop block located inside the protrusion, the stop block abutting against a stud, a crossbar fixedly connected to the end face of the stop block away from the stud, a stop plate fixedly connected to the end face of the crossbar away from the stop block, an anti-slip pad fixedly connected to the end face of the stop plate away from the crossbar, the anti-slip pad abutting against a circular sleeve, and a second compression spring fitted on the outer side of the crossbar, the two ends of the second compression spring being fixedly connected to the protrusion and the stop block respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the crossbar passes through the slider and the protrusion via a rubber cylinder, and the rubber cylinder is fixedly connected to the slider and the protrusion.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This improved tree branch adjustment component for landscaping has the following advantages: Through the cooperation of the ring sleeve, slide, slider, protrusion, winding mechanism, and locking mechanism, the operator can trim tree branches by following these steps: First, place the ring sleeve on the appropriate position on the trunk of the branch to be trimmed. Then, place the binding sleeve on the branch to be trimmed. Next, pull the ring outward to separate the insert from the slot. At this time, the first compression spring is in a compressed state. While maintaining the outward pulling force on the ring, a rotational force is applied to it. The ring will drive the cylinder to rotate. During the rotation of the cylinder, it can... The rope is pulled to rewind, and as the rope tightens, the branches can be trimmed. Once the branches are trimmed to the specified angle, the tension on the ring is slowly released, and the first spring rebounds, allowing the insert rod to re-insert into the slot. At this time, the rubber rings at both ends of the cavity cylinder abut against the protrusion and the disc respectively, which limit the rope and provide transmission. All the components are sealed inside the cavity cylinder and will not come into contact with external dust and impurities. This can significantly reduce the frequency of maintenance of the component structure by the operator and improve the service life of the component structure. In addition, the slider can slide inside the groove to adjust the position of the protrusion and the cylinder. When the cylinder, the pull rope, and the binding sleeve are close to the branch to be pruned, the operator applies force to the cavity cylinder, causing the stud to rotate clockwise and fully insert into the protrusion. As the stud goes deeper, it can continuously apply force to the abutment block to tighten it, causing the abutment block, crossbar, abutment plate, and anti-slip pad to move towards the ring sleeve until the anti-slip pad is fully pressed against the ring sleeve, thereby limiting the slider. During subsequent use, when subjected to external wind force, the slider will not slide inside the groove, and the pull rope will not change significantly, which is conducive to high-quality posture adjustment of tree branches.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an improved tree branch adjustment component for landscaping, comprising: a ring sleeve 1, a groove 2, a slider 3, and a protrusion 4. The outer wall of the ring sleeve 1 is provided with a groove 2, and the slider 3 is slidably engaged inside the groove 2. The end face of the slider 3 away from the ring sleeve 1 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 4. A winding mechanism is installed on the end face of the protrusion 4 away from the slider 3. A limit mechanism is installed inside the slider 3 and the protrusion 4.

[0017] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the ring sleeve 1 is composed of two semi-circular ring sleeves, which can be connected by fasteners, so that the ring sleeve 1 can be fitted on the outside of the tree trunk. The slider 3 can slide inside the groove 2, but the slider 3 cannot be separated from the groove 2.

[0018] Furthermore, the winding mechanism includes: a stud 5, which is threadedly connected to the center of the end face of the protrusion 4 away from the slider 3; a cavity cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the stud 5 away from the protrusion 4; a circular plate 14 is provided inside the cavity cylinder 6; a pull rod 7 is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the circular plate 14; a circular plate 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 7; a pair of insert rods 16 are fixedly connected to one side surface of the circular plate 14; the insert rods 16 are inserted into and connected to the cavity cylinder 6 through slots 17; and a first compression spring 1 is fitted on the outside of the pull rod 7. 5. The two ends of the first compression spring 15 are fixedly connected to the circular plate 14 and the hollow cylinder 6 respectively. The other end of the pull rod 7 is provided with a cylinder 8. Both ends of the cylinder 8 are fixedly connected with a disc 9. One side of the disc 9 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 7. A pull rope 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 8. The other end of the pull rope 12 is fixedly connected with a binding sleeve 13. Both ends of the hollow cylinder 6 are fixedly connected with rubber rings 10. The rubber rings 10 are respectively pressed against the protrusion 4 and the disc 9. The other side of the disc 9 is fixedly connected with a pull ring 11 on the end face away from the cylinder 8.

[0019] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the cavity cylinder 6 is made of lightweight and sturdy engineering plastic, which can reduce the overall weight of the component while ensuring sufficient strength. The end of the insertion rod 16 near the slot 17 has a tapered structure. The elastic coefficient of the first compression spring 15 is 2-5 N / CM. The cylinder 8 and the disc 9 are made of metal with a smooth surface to reduce friction of the pull rope 12 during rotation. The pull rope 12 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant nylon rope, which can withstand large tension and is not easy to break. The binding sleeve 13 is made of polyester Velcro, which can fit tightly to the surface of the branch and avoid damage to the branch. The rubber ring 10 has good elasticity and sealing performance, which can prevent dust and impurities from entering the cavity cylinder 6. The design of the pull ring 11 makes it convenient for the operator to apply the pulling force.

[0020] Furthermore, a pair of handles 18 are fixed to the outer wall of the cavity cylinder 6.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that it facilitates the application of force to the cavity cylinder 6.

[0022] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes: a stop block 19, which is located inside the protrusion 4 and abuts against the stud 5. A crossbar 20 is fixedly connected to the end face of the stop block 19 away from the stud 5. A stop plate 21 is fixedly connected to the end face of the crossbar 20 away from the stop block 19. An anti-slip pad 22 is fixedly connected to the end face of the stop plate 21 away from the crossbar 20. The anti-slip pad 22 abuts against the annular sleeve 1. A second compression spring 24 is fitted on the outer side of the crossbar 20. The two ends of the second compression spring 24 are fixedly connected to the protrusion 4 and the stop block 19, respectively.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the abutment 19 is made of high-strength metal and its surface is polished to ensure a smooth contact surface with the stud 5 and reduce friction. The diameter and length of the crossbar 20 are precisely calculated to ensure that it can provide sufficient support force during the limiting process. The abutment 21 is reasonably sized to evenly transmit force to the anti-slip pad 22. The anti-slip pad 22 is made of rubber and has raised anti-slip textures on its surface, which can increase the friction between it and the ring sleeve 1 and prevent the slider 3 from sliding. The second compression spring 24 has a moderate elastic coefficient and can provide stable elastic force under the action of the stud 5 to ensure the limiting effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the crossbar 20 passes through the slider 3 and the protrusion 4 via the rubber cylinder 23, and the rubber cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the slider 3 and the protrusion 4.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the rubber cylinder 23 has good flexibility and sealing properties, which can adapt to the movement of the crossbar 20, while preventing dust and impurities from entering the slider 3 and the protrusion 4.

[0026] Working principle: Component installation and initial preparation: Before pruning tree branches, this improved landscaping tree branch adjustment component requires installation and preparation. The operator first securely places the ring 1 onto the appropriate position on the trunk of the branch to be pruned. This position should take into account the trunk's thickness, the branch's growth direction, and the ease of subsequent pruning, ensuring the ring 1 is firmly and stably fixed to the trunk, providing a reliable support foundation for the entire adjustment process. Next, carefully place the binding sleeve 13 onto the branch to be pruned, ensuring a tight fit between the sleeve and the branch surface. This guarantees that when applying tension, the force can be evenly and effectively transferred to the branch, preventing poor pruning results due to loose binding sleeve 13. This is a prerequisite for the smooth progress of subsequent branch pruning work and lays a solid foundation for the normal operation of the entire adjustment component.

[0027] Branch trimming and component adjustment: After the component installation is completed, the crucial stage of branch pruning and component adjustment begins. The operator pulls the pull ring 11 outwards, causing the insertion rod 16 to separate from the slot 17. During this process, the first compression spring 15 is compressed under external force, storing elastic potential energy. While maintaining the outward pulling force on the pull ring 11, a rotational force is applied, causing the pull ring 11 to rotate the cylinder 8. As the cylinder 8 rotates, the winding mechanism is activated, systematically winding the pull rope 12. As the pull rope 12 gradually tightens, it applies tension to the branch through the binding sleeve 13, causing the branch to deform, thus pruning it. When the branch is pruned to the designated angle... Afterwards, the operator slowly releases the tension on the pull ring 11. At this time, the elastic potential energy stored in the first compression spring 15 is released, generating a rebound force, causing the insertion rod 16 to re-insert into the slot 17, fixing the position of the pull ring 11 and preventing it from rotating arbitrarily, thus ensuring the stability of the tension of the pull rope 12. At the same time, the rubber rings 10 at both ends of the cavity cylinder 6 abut against the protrusion 4 and the disc 9 respectively, which limit and transmit the pull rope 12. All such components are sealed inside the cavity cylinder 6, effectively preventing contact with external dust and impurities, reducing component wear and failures caused by dust and impurities entering, significantly reducing the frequency of maintenance of the component structure by the operator, and improving the service life of the component structure.

[0028] Slider limit and branch posture stability: Before pruning the branches, to ensure the branches maintain the ideal posture, the slider 3 needs to be limited. The slider 3 can slide inside the groove 2. The operator flexibly adjusts the position of the slider 3 according to the actual situation of the branch to be pruned, so that the cylinder 8, the pull rope 12, and the binding sleeve 13 can accurately approach the branch to be pruned, ensuring that the direction and magnitude of the force applied by the pull rope 12 to the branch meet the pruning requirements. After the cylinder 8, the pull rope 12, and the binding sleeve 13 are adjusted to the appropriate position, the operator applies force to the cavity cylinder 6, causing the stud 5 to rotate clockwise and fully insert into the protrusion 4. As the stud 5 continues to penetrate into the protrusion 4, it continuously applies force to the abutment 19 to tighten it. When 19 is subjected to pressure, the crossbar 20 drives the abutment 21 and anti-slip pad 22 to move towards the ring sleeve 1 until the anti-slip pad 22 and the ring sleeve 1 are fully pressed together. The friction between the anti-slip pad 22 and the ring sleeve 1 can prevent the slider 3 from sliding inside the groove 2, thereby achieving reliable positioning of the slider 3. In subsequent use, even if it is subjected to external wind force, since the slider 3 has been firmly positioned, it will not slide inside the groove 2. Therefore, the pull rope 12 will not change significantly and can always maintain a stable pull on the branch. This is conducive to high-quality posture adjustment of tree branches and ensures that the branches can maintain an ideal shape for a long time after pruning.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
