[0035] The first positioning rod 3 abuts one side of the tree, and the second positioning rod 4 slides along the first measuring rod 1 through the connecting seat 5 to make the second positioning rod 4 abut the other side of the tree. By checking the position of the connecting seat 5 on the first length measurement scale, the breast diameter data can be directly confirmed to achieve rapid measurement, which is convenient for staff to use.

[0036] Specifically, the first positioning rod 3 is parallel to the second positioning rod 4 .

[0037] Specifically, the setting of the first length measurement scale is similar to that of an existing ruler, and is a common technical solution, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The first measuring rod 1 is provided with a telescopic rod 31 at one end of the first positioning rod 3, one end of the telescopic rod 31 is connected to the first positioning rod 3, and the telescopic rod 31 is used to extend so that the first measuring rod 1 is located at a preset height of the tree. The provision of the telescopic rod 31 can facilitate the staff to quickly determine the height of the tree at 1.3 meters.

[0039] Specifically, the telescopic rod 31 is perpendicular to the first measuring rod 1 .

[0040] Specifically, the preset height position is 1.3 meters high of the trees.

[0041] The side wall of the first positioning rod 3 is provided with a receiving groove 32, which extends along the length direction of the first positioning rod 3. A hinge shaft 33 is arranged in the receiving groove 32, and the hinge shaft 33 is rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic rod 31; the receiving groove 32 is used to receive the telescopic rod 31 that is telescoped to the shortest length. When the telescopic rod 31 is not in use, the telescopic rod 31 is accommodated in the receiving groove 32; when the telescopic rod 31 is in use, the telescopic rod 31 is rotated along the hinge shaft 33 and moved out of the receiving groove 32 until the telescopic rod 31 is perpendicular to the first positioning rod 3, and then the telescopic rod 31 is stretched to the limit, which can assist the staff to operate the first measuring rod 1 at a height of 1.3 meters.

[0042] Specifically, the hinge axis 33 is parallel to the first measuring rod 1 .

[0043] Specifically, the longest length of the telescopic rod 31 extending out of the receiving slot 32 is 1.3 meters.

The provision of the second measuring rod 2 can increase the measuring distance between the first positioning rod 3 and the second positioning rod 4. Through the cooperation of the elastic layer and the shell, it can also ensure that the second positioning rod 4 slides back and forth between the first measuring rod 1 and the second measuring rod 2. After measuring thicker trees, the diameter at breast height data can be determined by simply adding the data of the first length measurement scale and the value of the shell at the second length measurement scale.

[0048] A detachable limit plate 21 is provided at one end of the second measuring rod 2 away from the first positioning rod 3 , and the limit plate 21 is used to prevent the shell from detaching from the end of the second measuring rod 2 away from the first positioning rod 3 when the shell slides along the second measuring rod 2 .

[0049] Specifically, the limiting plate 21 is a circular plate, and the axial direction of the limiting plate 21 is parallel to the second measuring rod 2 .

[0050] A connecting screw hole 22 is formed at one end of the second measuring rod 2 away from the first measuring rod 1 , and a stud 23 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 21 facing the second measuring rod 2 . The stud 23 is used for threaded connection with the connecting screw hole 22 to relatively fix the limiting plate 21 and the second measuring rod 2 .

[0051] An elastic block 24 is provided at one end of the second measuring rod 2 close to the first positioning rod 3 and at one side of the limiting plate 21 facing the second measuring rod 2. The elastic block 24 is provided similarly to an elastic layer to ensure that the second measuring rod 2 has a certain resistance when sliding along the slideway 11, to achieve stability during sliding, and to fix the second measuring rod 2 in the slideway 11 through two sliders.

[0052] Specifically, the first measuring rod 1 and the first positioning rod 3 are detachably connected by bolts, so that the whole can be easily disassembled for storage and carrying.
