Specific implementation manner

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a shrub and herb sample square for forestry investigation, including the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2. The inner walls of the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2 are both penetrated and provided with a limiting hole 3 and a counterbore 4. The inner wall of the first L-shaped bracket 1 is movably connected with the first adjusting rod 5, and the inner wall of the second L-shaped bracket 2 is movably connected with the second adjusting rod 6. One end of the first adjusting rod 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the second adjusting rod 6;

[0026] One end of each of the first adjusting rod 5 and the second adjusting rod 6 is fixedly connected with an elastic rod 11. The elastic rods 11 are symmetrically arranged at one end of the first adjusting rod 5. One end of the elastic rod 11 is fixedly connected with a limiting block 12. The outer wall of the limiting block 12 is clamped with the inner wall of the limiting hole 3. One end of the first adjusting rod 5 close to the second adjusting rod 6 is fixedly connected with a connecting block 7. A rotating groove 8 is opened on the outer wall of the second adjusting rod 6. The outer wall of the connecting block 7 is rotatably connected with the inner wall of the rotating groove 8;

[0027] Therefore, a reinforcement rod 13 is arranged in the counterbore 4, and the reinforcement rod 13 is inserted and fixed in the soil.

[0028] In this implementation scheme, place the device at the location where sampling is required. By pulling the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2 outward, the adjusting rod 1 5 and the adjusting rod 2 6 inside are pulled outwards, thereby expanding the device. When inside the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2, the elastic rod 11 is squeezed inwards. When encountering the limit hole 3, the elastic rod 11 rebounds, and the limit block 12 is clamped with the limit hole 3, thereby fixing the outwardly stretched adjusting rod 1 5 and the adjusting rod 2 6.

[0029] When the device is not needed, press the limit block 12 towards the middle to separate it from the limit hole 3, and then push the adjusting rod 1 5 and the adjusting rod 2 6 inside the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2, thereby reducing the volume of the device. Then, rotate the adjusting rod 2 6 or the adjusting rod 1 5 around the rotating shaft 9 to fold the adjusting rod 1 5 and the adjusting rod 2 6, which can further reduce the carrying volume of the device.

[0030] Among them, the inner wall of the connecting block 7 is inserted with a rotating shaft 9, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 is threadedly connected with a nut 10.

[0031] In this implementation scheme, the rotating shaft 9 is conveniently fixed on the connecting block 7 and the adjusting rod 2 6 through the nut 10.

[0032] Among them, the counterbore 4 is arranged at the corner of the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2, and the limit hole 3 is arranged at both ends of the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2.

[0033] In this implementation scheme, the setting of the counterbore 4 facilitates the insertion and fixation of the reinforcing rod 13, and the limit hole 3 limits the movement of the limit block 12.

[0034] Among them, the first L-shaped bracket 1 and the second L-shaped bracket 2 are indirectly connected through the adjusting rod 1 5 and the adjusting rod 2 6. The first L-shaped bracket 1, the second L-shaped bracket 2, the adjusting rod 1 5, and the adjusting rod 2 6 form the basic framework of the shrub and grass sample square.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] As a further optimization of Example 1, on the basis of Example 1, as Figures 1-6 shown, the reinforcing rod 13 includes a housing 131. The inner wall of the housing 131 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 132. The outer wall of the rotating rod 132 is threadedly connected with a moving block 133. The bottom outer wall of the moving block 133 is fixedly connected with a conical column 134. A strip-shaped moving groove 135 is opened on the outer wall of the housing 131, and the outer wall of the moving block 133 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the strip-shaped moving groove 135.

[0037] Among them, the top end of the rotating rod 132 is fixedly connected with a rotating block, and the bottom end of the conical column 134 is conical.

[0038] In this embodiment, during use, the reinforcing rod 13 is inserted into the counterbore 4. The rotating block is rotated to drive the rotating rod 132 to rotate. The rotating rod 132 drives the moving block 133 to move accordingly. Due to the limitation of the strip-shaped moving groove 135, the moving block 133 drives the tapered column 134 to move downward and insert into the soil to fix the device.

[0039] When the device is not needed, the reinforcing rod 13 is taken out of the soil and then taken out of the L-shaped bracket. The rotating block is rotated, and the rotating rod 132 is rotated in the reverse direction. The rotating rod 132 drives the moving block 133 and the tapered column 134 to move upward, and the tapered column 134 is received in the housing 131 to receive the pointed tapered column 134, which is convenient for carrying.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the device is placed at the place where sampling is required. By pulling the L-shaped bracket 1 and the L-shaped bracket 2 outward, the adjusting rod 1 and the adjusting rod 2 inside are pulled outwards, so as to expand the device. When inside the L-shaped bracket 1 and the L-shaped bracket 2, the elastic rod 11 is squeezed inwards. When encountering the limit hole 3, the elastic rod 11 rebounds, and the limit block 12 is engaged with the limit hole 3, so as to fix the outwardly stretched adjusting rod 1 and the adjusting rod 2.

[0041] When the device needs to be fixed at the shrub and herb quadrat, the reinforcing rod 13 is inserted into the counterbore 4. The rotating block is rotated to drive the rotating rod 132 to rotate. The rotating rod 132 drives the moving block 133 to move accordingly. Due to the limitation of the strip-shaped moving groove 135, the moving block 133 drives the tapered column 134 to move downward and insert into the soil to fix the device.

[0042] When the device is not needed, the reinforcing rod 13 is taken out of the soil and then taken out of the L-shaped bracket. The rotating block is rotated, and the rotating rod 132 is rotated in the reverse direction. The rotating rod 132 drives the moving block 133 and the tapered column 134 to move upward, and the tapered column 134 is received in the housing 131 to receive the pointed tapered column 134, which is convenient for carrying.

[0043] Press the limit block 12 towards the middle to separate it from the limit hole 3, and then push the adjusting rod 1 and the adjusting rod 2 inside the L-shaped bracket 1 and the L-shaped bracket 2, so as to reduce the volume of the device. Then, rotate the adjusting rod 2 or the adjusting rod 1 around the rotating shaft 9 to fold the adjusting rod 1 and the adjusting rod 2, which can further reduce the carrying volume of the device.

[0044] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, making equivalent substitutions or changes, shall be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
