The Design and the Implementation of the Machinery for Whitewashing the Trunks

Abstract Whitewashing the trunks is an important part in the management of tree greening in winter, which can prevent the pests and the livestock grazing the trunks, strengthen the winter-proofing ability of trees and enhance the esthetic effect of amenity. In this paper, an innovative mechanical design idea that the trees are brushed by the lime water with the insect repellant has been introduced. Meanwhile, the numerical simulation technology has been also employed to analyze the important components of this machine, which can improve the reliability and the economy of the design. The practice shows that this product can significantly improve the work efficiency and reduce the labor intensity through comparing with the traditional working ways.
