The invention relates to the technical field of size measurement, and provides a soft object measuring device for preventing extrusion damage by using light outage. The device comprises a machine body, a threaded rod is movably connected with the inner wall of the machine body, a threaded sleeve is movably connected with the outer wall of the threaded rod, and a support frame is fixedly connectedwith the outer wall of the threaded sleeve. According to the soft object measuring device for preventing extrusion damage by using light outage, the support frame drives a connecting rod to get closeto a soft object, the connecting rod and a base plate slowly move to get close to the soft object, and when the base plate makes contact with the soft object, a photoresistor in the base plate cannotmake contact with the light, and the resistance value is increased; when the resistance value of the photoresistor is increased, a clamping block limits movement of the connecting rod, all the photoresistors are not irradiated by light, a driving mechanism stops, the size of a size meter plate on the outer wall of a lever blocked by a blocking block is the average value of the thickness of the soft object, and errors caused by deformation of the soft object are prevented by measuring the thickness through light blocking outage.
