Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring tools, in particular to a measuring tool which can simultaneously measure the plant height and plant width of potted plants and vegetables. Background Art

[0002] In the process of plant breeding and seed selection, it is necessary to plant the same batch of seeds and observe the growth characteristics of the plants in the batch. Two data that need to be measured regularly are plant width and plant height. The distance between the two widest branches and leaves is called plant width, and the vertical distance from the ground to the top branches and leaves is called plant height. The combination of these two sets of data can provide important auxiliary analysis data for later breeding and seed selection. At present, the measurement tools for plant height and plant width of short-sized plants between 5-100cm, such as potted plants and vegetable plants, are mostly rulers. On the one hand, in daily use, a 20cm ruler is used for measuring the height and plant width of shorter vegetable pots. A medium ruler uses a 50cm ruler, and a taller one uses a 100cm ruler. However, sometimes the height of a plant may be 10cm but its width may reach 30cm, so sometimes it is necessary to change the measuring tool back and forth. On the other hand, ruler measurement may not have a large error in measuring plant height, but in measuring plant width, because it is a handheld measurement, it cannot maintain its horizontal stability, and the degree cannot be maintained as a horizontal straight line, so it is easy to have a large error. Therefore, for the measurement of plant width and plant height of short plants, it is necessary to design a measuring instrument that can measure both plant height and plant width, and it is best to be able to measure at the same time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 9 :

[0032] The utility model discloses a measuring tool that can measure the height and width of potted plants and vegetables at the same time. Compared with the traditional measurement of low plants such as vegetable potted plants, the problem that the plant width and plant height cannot be measured simultaneously by using a ruler, and the problem that it is difficult to ensure the horizontal measurement of the ruler when measuring the plant width, the technical solution of the utility model includes a longitudinal ruler rod 1, a transverse ruler rod 2 and a locking screw 6. The longitudinal ruler rod 1 is provided with a longitudinally arranged height scale 101, and the height scale 101 has mm scale and cm scale, and preferably a large scale of 5 cm. One side of the height scale 101 is provided with multiple A first slideway 11 is provided along the height direction of the main ruler rod. The first slideway 11 is an open through groove of the longitudinal ruler rod 1 in the height direction. A plug hole 12 connected to the first slideway 11 and distributed in an array along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal ruler rod 1 is provided on one side of the first slideway 11. The plug hole 12 is provided through the longitudinal ruler rod 1. When it is implemented, the front end may be a groove matching the plug-in lock block 23, and the rear end may be a hole just for the locking screw 6 to pass through. Of course, it may also be a groove of the same size through the front and back. The bottom of the longitudinal ruler rod 1 is provided with a pointed cone plug 3 for inserting into the soil to fix the longitudinal ruler rod 1 vertically.

[0033] Specifically, the transverse ruler rod is provided with a width size 201, and the transverse ruler rod 2 includes a central ruler rod 21 located in the middle and a plurality of folding ruler rods 22 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central ruler rod 21. The central ruler rod 21 and the folding ruler rods 22 on the same side and the plurality of folding ruler rods 22 on the same side are hinged to each other. Specifically, one end of the folding ruler rods 22 on both sides of the central ruler rod 21 is hinged to the two ends of the central ruler rod 21 respectively, and the other folding ruler rods 22 are hinged in sequence in a head-to-tail manner. With such a configuration, the transverse ruler rod 2 can be folded. When it is needed, it can be straightened to both sides by hand, and when it is not needed, it can be folded up in sequence. A plug-in lock block 23 is provided on the side of the central ruler rod 21 facing the first slide 11, and a locking screw hole 231 is provided on the plug-in lock block 23;

[0034] Specifically, the output end of the locking screw 6 can pass through the plug-in hole 12 from the back side of the longitudinal ruler 1 and be screwed into the locking screw hole 231, and the plug-in locking block 23 can slide up and down in the first slide 11 and can also enter the plug-in hole 12 at a predetermined position to complete the locking with the locking screw 6. As mentioned above, the distribution of the plug-in holes 12 on the longitudinal ruler 1 is preferably 5 cm or 2.5 cm each, which can be determined according to different target plant heights. Preferably, the plug-in hole 12 is a through-type rectangular slot hole, and the plug-in locking block 23 is a rectangular block. With such a configuration, when the plug-in block cooperates with the plug-in locking hole, the upper and lower end faces thereof can be contacted to limit the twisting of the plug-in locking block 23, thereby ensuring that the transverse ruler 2 can remain horizontal when straightened.

[0035] Embodiment 1: On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, the inner side of the first slide 11 is further provided with a second slide 13 which is interconnected and perpendicular to the first slide 11. The second slide 13 is perpendicular and interconnected to the plug-in hole 12. The first slide 11 and the second slide 13 form an L-shaped slide. In this embodiment, the plug-in locking block 23 can move left and right in the first slide 11 and the plug-in hole 12 at the corresponding position. When the plug-in locking block 23 enters the plug-in hole 12 at a specific height position, it can be locked with the locking screw 6. When the height needs to be adjusted, the locking screw 6 is loosened, and the plug-in locking block 23 is moved to the left in the first slide 11 and moved upward or downward to reach the plug-in hole 12 position corresponding to the next appropriate scale and then enter the next plug-in hole 12 to the right, and then locked to complete the adjustment of the transverse ruler 2 in the height direction of the longitudinal ruler 1.

[0036] Embodiment 2: Specifically, one side of the second slide 13 is also provided with a third slide 14 parallel to the second slide 13, the third slide 14 is perpendicular to the first slide 11, and a T-shaped slide is formed between the first slide 11, the second slide 13 and the third slide 14, the plug-in locking block 23 includes a plug-in portion 232 and a limiting sliding portion 233, wherein the limiting sliding portion 233 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner end of the plug-in portion 232, and the limiting sliding portion 233 can enter the third slide 14 when the plug-in locking block 23 is transferred from the plug-in hole 12 to the first slide 11, and slide with the third slide 14 in a limited manner. In this embodiment, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that there is an additional third slide 14, and at the same time, there is an additional limiting sliding portion 233 on the left side of the end of the plug-in locking block 23. The third slide 14 and the limiting sliding portion 233 can cooperate to slide in a limited manner, and at the same time prevent the plug-in locking block 23 from falling out when sliding up and down in the first slide 11.

[0037] Specifically, the longitudinal ruler 1 is provided with a front section 110 and a rear section 120 along its height direction, wherein the front section 110 is divided into a left section 111 and a right section 112 by the first slide 11, wherein the height dimension 101 is located on the left section 111, and the plug-in hole 12 is located on the right section 112.

[0038] Specifically, as an embodiment that can be subsequently improved, it also includes a top cover 4 located at the upper end of the longitudinal ruler 1 and used to cover it, the top cover 4 includes a cover surface end 41 and a plug-in end 42, wherein the inner side or lower end of the cover surface end 41 is provided with a plug-in end 42, and the plug-in end 42 is L-shaped or T-shaped, and the upper end of the longitudinal ruler 1 has an opening plugged with the plug-in end 42. The purpose of providing the top cover 4 here is to insert the plug-in lock block 23 from the opening at the top, and the plug-in lock block 23 in Example 1 does not need to be inserted from the top to the bottom, but in the later stage of mass production, a metal rail is required, and an additional inner slideway can be designed on the inner side of the third slideway 14 to strengthen the sliding limit function of the third slideway 14, so that the plug-in lock block 23 can only move laterally within the three slideways, and cannot be taken out from the first slideway 11.

[0039] Specifically, in order to allow the horizontal ruler 2 to have a horizontal reference standard after being stretched horizontally, a level ruler 7 is provided on the top cover 4.

[0040] Specifically, the locking screw 6 comprises a hand-tightening portion 61 and a thread locking portion 62 , wherein the hand-tightening portion 61 is located at the back of the longitudinal ruler rod 1 .

[0041] Specifically, a limit plate 5 is provided between the longitudinal ruler 1 and the conical plug 3. With such a configuration, when the conical plug 3 is inserted into the soil, the conical plug 3 will not be inserted too far due to excessive force, thereby affecting the plant height.

[0042] Specifically, the pointed cone plug 3 is a triangular prism plug, each face of which is an isosceles triangle. This arrangement can reduce insertion resistance and enhance the stability of the pointed cone plug 3.

[0043] As mentioned above, it should be noted that the transverse ruler 2 in the present patent maintains a straight state from the folded state to the straightened state. One way is to achieve this through the damping of the hinge shaft between the folded ruler and the center ruler. Another way is that because the present measuring device measures short plants, after the longitudinal ruler 1 is inserted into the soil to fix the vertical direction, both hands can be used to hold the transverse ruler 2 to help it maintain a horizontal straightened state. Of course, in subsequent improved embodiments, a ruler, a telescopic ruler, etc. can be used as a transverse ruler.

[0044] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
