Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of measurement, and particularly relates to an automatic detection instrument for the diameter at breast height of a tree. Background Art
[0002] The diameter at breast height, also known as the trunk diameter, refers to the diameter of the trunk of a tree at breast height above the ground. When the cross-section is deformed, the average of the maximum and minimum values is measured. Different trees have different breast heights, and different countries have different regulations on the diameter at breast height. In my country and most countries, the breast height is set at 1.3 meters above the ground.
[0003] The existing tree diameter at breast height measurement method mainly uses a tape measure or a steel ruler to measure around the tree. For example, the patent with application number CN201921977627.7 discloses a device for continuously and efficiently measuring the tree diameter at breast height, including a measuring ring, a measuring frame, a vernier ruler, a fixing hole, a spring and a hook. The left end of the measuring ring is installed with a measuring frame, the lower side of the left end of the measuring ring is provided with a vernier ruler, the measuring ring is provided with a fixing hole, and the spring is provided with a hook. When using the measuring device, after the measuring ring is wrapped around the trunk and passed through the measuring frame, the hooks at both ends of the spring need to be hung on the fixing holes of the measuring ring, and the continuous measurement of the trunk is achieved by relying on the spring deformation. However, when installing the spring, one end of the spring needs to be fixed in one of the fixing holes on the part of the measuring ring that passes through the measuring frame, and then the spring is stretched, and the other end of the spring is fixed in one of the fixing holes on the part that does not pass through the measuring frame, which is very troublesome, laborious, and difficult to operate.
[0004] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, and thus came up with this case. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide an automatic detection instrument for the diameter at breast height of trees, which can solve the problems that the existing measuring devices are troublesome and difficult to operate.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

When measuring the trunk diameter at breast height, the steel tape ruler is wrapped around the trunk tightly, passed through the through hole, and then the fixing assembly is pressed down so that the fixed teeth on the fixed wheel are stuck in the tooth grooves of the steel tape ruler. The steel tape ruler can be prevented from loosening under the action of the coil spring. The continuous automatic measurement of the trunk can be achieved by relying on the deformation of the coil spring during the growth process, making the operation simpler and more convenient.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the mounting block is rotatably connected with a control column, the mounting shell is formed with a through hole for the control column to pass through; an annular clamping groove is formed on the inner side wall of the through hole, a slideway connected to the clamping groove is formed on the top of the mounting shell; a clamping block that can pass through the slideway and cooperate with the clamping groove is formed on the control column. After the fixed wheel is moved to cooperate with the steel tape ruler, the clamping block and the clamping groove can prevent the fixed wheel from detaching from the steel tape ruler.
[0009] Furthermore, an anti-slip strip is provided on the side wall of the control column, which makes it easier to rotate the control column.
[0010] Furthermore, two inner walls of the installation cavity are formed with slide grooves, and two sides of the installation block are formed with sliders that cooperate with the slide grooves; a return spring is installed in the slide groove, one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the slide groove. When the steel tape ruler is removed, the return spring can quickly lift up the fixing assembly to separate the fixing wheel from the steel tape ruler.
[0011] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is formed at the bottom of the mounting shell, which can make the mounting shell fit the tree trunk more closely and make the measurement more accurate.
[0012] After adopting the above structure, the tree breast diameter automatic detection instrument involved in the utility model, compared with the prior art, when measuring the breast diameter of a tree trunk, the steel tape measure is wrapped around the trunk tightly and then passed through the through hole, and then the fixing component is pressed down to make the fixed teeth on the fixed wheel fit into the tooth grooves of the steel tape measure. The steel tape measure can be prevented from loosening under the action of the coil spring, and the continuous automatic measurement of the tree trunk can be achieved by relying on the deformation of the coil spring during its growth process, and the whole operation is simpler and more convenient.
