TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Christmas trees, and in particular to Christmas Tree Transportation Device and its method of use.BACKGROUND

[0002] A Christmas tree is an evergreen tree, such as a fir or pine, decorated with candles and decorations. As one of the important elements of Christmas, the modern Christmas tree originated in Germany and gradually became popular around the world, becoming one of the most famous traditions in Christmas celebrations.

[0003] At present, Christmas trees on the market are mostly made of plastic materials for reuse. However, this design is bulky, and requires multi-person collaboration to carry when transported, and is quite cumbersome to operate. In addition, the packaging and shipping process takes up a lot of space, and when not in use, the storage of these Christmas trees also requires relatively bigger space.SUMMARY

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a Christmas tree that is compact in structure, easy to fold and package, easy to transport, and a method for using the Christmas tree, which can solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: Christmas Tree Transportation Device, including upper body, lower body, and the construction structure. Upper body is equipped with several adhesive structures for expanding upper body to adhere to upper body of the Christmas tree, and lower body is also equipped with several adhesive structures for expanding lower body to adhere to lower body of the Christmas tree. Upper body forms a complete Christmas tree with lower body through the construction structure. Upper body includes first long cardboard and first leaf-shaped paper sheet. A number of first long cardboard stacks are set up. The outer side wall of First long cardboard is provided with a number of integrally formed first leaf-shaped paper sheets. A number of first leaf-shaped paper sheets are enlarged sequentially from top to bottom. The other side wall position is adhered with first glue strip. Lower body includes second long cardboard and second leaf-shaped paper sheet., a number of second long cardboard stacks are arranged, the outer side wall of second long cardboard is provided with a number of integrally formed second leaf-shaped paper sheets, the shape of the several second leaf-shaped paper sheets increases sequentially from top to bottom, the other side wall position is adhered with second glue strip, and the bottom of second long cardboard is connected with the integrally formed supporting cardboard.

[0006] Preferably, First long paperboard is provided with first long groove at a position far away from the center of the sidewall of the first leaf-shaped paper sheet, two first glue strips are symmetrically distributed about First long groove, second long paperboard is provided with second long groove at a position far away from the center of the sidewall of the second leaf-shaped paper sheet, two second glue strips are symmetrically distributed about second long groove, and the side positions are completely superimposed. The thickness generated by this contact around the folded side may cause resistance. Therefore, during the assembly process, a large pressure needs to be applied, which may cause deformation or damage to the paper.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the first leaf-shaped paper sheet is provided with first through hole, and the end of the second leaf-shaped paper sheet is provided with second through hole, allowing the user to flexibly adjust the layout and height of the decorations according to personal preferences, creating a unique Christmas tree decoration effect, creating a Christmas atmosphere, and for hanging a decorative lamp strip, which improves the overall aesthetics.

[0008] Preferably, two arbitrarily adjacent first leaf-shaped paper sheets are glued through the first glue strip, and two arbitrarily adjacent second leaf-shaped paper sheet are glued through the second glue strip, which not only enhances the three dimension of the Christmas tree, but also improves the stability of the structure through additional gluing points, thereby reducing unnecessary shaking of the first leaf-shaped paper sheet and the second leaf-shaped paper sheet in any direction, ensuring the firmness of the overall structure.

[0009] Preferably, the construction structure includes a cardboard insert and a semi-circular protrusion. The sidewall of the bottom of first long cardboard is connected to the integrally formed cardboard insert. The outer sidewall of the bottom of the cardboard insert is connected to the integrally formed semi-circular protrusion. The top of second long cardboard is provided with a rectangular notch, and the sidewall of second long cardboard at the bottom of the rectangular notch is provided with a semi-circular buckle groove.

[0010] Preferably, the adhesive structure includes a back glue paper and a glue layer. The outer sides of the first leaf-shaped paper sheet and the second leaf-shaped paper sheet are adhered with a glue layer. The glue layer is adhered with a velcro wool surface. A matching velcro wool surface is set outside the velcro wool surface. The velcro wool surface is adhered with a back glue paper through another glue layer. The velcro wool surface and the velcro wool surface can be separated again, so that all the first leaf-shaped paper sheet and the second leaf-shaped paper sheet fall back to the stacking setting. Such a design allows the Christmas tree to be unfolded and folded multiple times.

[0011] The method to use Christmas Tree Transportation Device characterized in that it comprises the following specific steps: Step 1: Unfold upper body into the shape of upper body of the Christmas tree, manually uncover the back glue paper on all the first leaf-shaped paper sheets. When the glue layer is exposed, manually pull out all First long cardboard, and then distribute all First long cardboard in a circular shape. The glue layer adheres to the first leaf-shaped paper sheet at the other side position, with the ground, a support will be given by relying on the bottom unfolded cardboard; Step 2: Unfold lower body into the shape of lower part of the Christmas tree, and manually uncover the adhesive paper on all the second leaf-like paper, then manually unfold all second long cardboard in a ring. After unfolding all second long cardboard in a ring-shaped setting, make the glue layer adhere to the second leaf-like paper at the other side. relying on the unfolded support cardboard at the bottom to form a support with the ground, and second long cardboard forms a cylindrical groove by the top rectangular notch; Step 3: Placing upper body and lower body on the ground, stand them for 10-20 minutes. After glue layer is solidified, move the expanded first long cardboard and insert expanded cardboard into cylindrical groove formed by the rectangular notch. Rotate the entire expanded first long cardboard slightly, keeping an eye on semicircular protrusion so users can move semicircular buckle groove. A complete paper Christmas tree shall be completed after upper body and lower body are constructed.

[0012] Compared to the prior technologies, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Reusable, the Christmas tree can be disassembled and reassembled multiple times without damaging its structure or appearance due to the use of paper materials and adhesive structures, thus achieving sustainable use. 2. Environmentally friendly and energy-saving, this paper Christmas tree has less impact on the environment during production, use and disposal than traditional wooden or plastic Christmas trees, which reduces waste of resources and reduces carbon emissions. 3. Easy to customize, users can choose different colors, shapes and sizes of leaf-like paper and different construction structures according to their own preferences and needs to create a unique Christmas tree shape. 4. Easy to transport, the Christmas tree is compact, easy to fold and pack, easy for users to carry and transport between different locations. 5. Enhance the festive atmosphere, by assembling and decorating this paper Christmas tree, family members can participate together to enhance parent-child relationships and family cohesion, while creating a strong festive atmosphere.
