Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of crop tree plant height measurement, and in particular relates to a device for measuring the plant height of tropical crop trees. Background Art

[0002] Tropical crop trees refer to crops planted in tropical areas with high temperature and high rainfall, long summer and no winter all year round, rich water and heat resources, and lush plant growth. Tropical crops have the characteristics of long growing season, wide variety and varieties, and high economic value. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor and study the production of tropical plant trees and understand the habits of tropical plants. Among them, tropical plants grow fast, and tropical crops have high plant height. Measuring the plant height of tropical crops has become an important problem in monitoring the habits of tropical crops.

[0003] Although there are many crop tree plant height measurement devices in the prior art, they are only suitable for relatively short crops such as corn, rice, sorghum, and apples. The plant height of some tropical crops is generally between 5 and 10 meters. For example, the plant height measurement of relatively tall tropical crop trees such as rubber, coconut, and durian cannot be measured using the plant height measurement devices of the prior art. Moreover, most of the plant height measurement devices of the prior art are telescopic rod structures, and some are laser measurement types. Regardless of the type of device, the overall structure is relatively large and medium, which is not suitable for measurement personnel to carry with them to measure plant height;

[0004] Therefore, the problems existing in the prior art are:

[0005] 1. The plant height measuring device in the prior art has poor practicality and is only applicable to crops with a plant height of less than 10 meters. It is not possible to quickly and accurately measure plants of 10-30 meters in height among tropical crops.

[0006] 2. The plant height measuring device in the prior art is relatively large in size and heavy in weight, which is not convenient for monitoring personnel to carry with them during operation. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model designs a device for measuring the height of tropical crop trees, comprising: a box body;

[0008] A square plate extends from the lower end of the box, and a gas tank can be detachably mounted on the square plate. The box is an open box, and a partition is arranged in the middle of the box to divide the box into two parts, an upper box and a lower box. The lower box is rotatably connected to a tape measure set, and a through hole is arranged in the middle of the partition. The soft tape measure wrapped on the tape measure set passes through the through hole to connect to the floating balloon;

[0009] The floating balloon is provided with a valve core;

[0010] A two-way pump is arranged at the gas outlet position at the upper end of the gas tank; a conduit is arranged on the two-way pump, and a valve is arranged at the head end of the conduit. The valve and the valve core are manually connected, and then the two-way pump can be used to transport gas into the floating balloon or recover gas;

[0011] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a partition to divide the box body into two parts, an upper box body and a lower box body, flat threaded holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the lower box body to install the tape measure set, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the partition;

[0012] Furthermore, a tape measure is wound around the tape measure set, and the head end of the tape measure passes through the through hole on the partition plate and is movably connected to the floating balloon. A handle is provided on one side of the tape measure set for easy operation by the measurement personnel. The measurement range of the tape measure wound around the tape measure set is 30-50 meters.

[0013] Furthermore, the gas tank stores buoyancy gas inside;

[0014] Furthermore, the one-way valve structure inside the traditional valve core is abandoned inside the valve core, and the connection between the valve core and the valve mouth is used to control the on-off of the floating balloon and the catheter.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] The utility model discloses a device for measuring the height of tropical crop trees, comprising: a box, a gas tank, a floating balloon, and a tape measure group; a square plate extends from the lower end of the box, the gas tank can be detachably mounted on the square plate, the box is an open box, a partition is arranged in the middle of the box to divide the box into two parts, an upper box and a lower box, the lower box is rotatably connected to the tape measure group, a through hole is arranged in the middle of the partition, a soft tape wrapped around the tape measure group passes through the through hole to connect to the floating balloon, a two-way pump is arranged at the air outlet position of the upper end of the gas tank; a conduit is arranged on the two-way pump, and a valve is arranged at the head end of the conduit; a valve core is arranged on the floating balloon to connect to the conduit;

[0017] When measuring the plant height of tree crops, choose a windless or breezy day, manually connect the valve nozzle on the catheter to the valve core on the floating balloon, control the two-way pump to fill the floating balloon with buoyancy gas, so that the floating balloon expands and has the ability to float, turn the tape measure group to make the floating balloon rise vertically, and observe with the naked eye until the lower end of the floating balloon is flush with the highest point of the plant. The scale corresponding to the tape measure released on the tape measure group is the plant height. This method is simple to operate and can adapt to crop plants of various heights. In addition, floating gas is used to assist in measuring plant height. The floating gas is lighter and has fewer device structures, which reduces the weight of the tools carried by the surveyor and is more conducive to the surveyor carrying it with them to measure the plant height.
