Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of height measurement, and more specifically, to a device for measuring tree growth. Background Art

[0002] A tree growth measuring device (particularly suitable for measuring seedlings) is a device specially designed to monitor and analyze the growth process of seedlings. This device is commonly used in forestry, horticulture and agriculture to help researchers and growers track the growth rate, health status and response of seedlings to environmental changes.

[0003] In the existing technology, firstly, some devices cannot adjust the measurement height as the trees grow, resulting in the inability to accurately monitor the growth of the trees. Since it is impossible to compensate for changes in the height of the trees, the measurement results may be inaccurate, affecting the reliability of the data. The inability to adjust the length for a long time may cause certain parts of the device to be damaged due to excessive stretching or compression. Secondly, the installation and removal of the compensation rod of some devices will become cumbersome, which increases the difficulty and time of operation. The position of the compensation rod cannot be quickly fixed, resulting in a slow adjustment process, affecting the measurement efficiency. The fixation of the compensation rod may not be firm enough, affecting the stability of the measurement. Finally, some devices cannot directly obtain the height data of the trees, losing the core function of the device, and cannot intuitively record the height of the trees, which is not conducive to data collection and analysis. The measurement position cannot be adjusted by the lifting block and the locking bolt, limiting the application of the device in different environments. Utility Model Content
