Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forestry, and particularly relates to a tree growth monitoring device. Background Technique

[0002] Forestry is the science that studies forests and their ecosystems, trees, vegetation, and forest management, aiming to explore the investigation, protection, and sustainable utilization of forest resources. It involves fields such as forest ecology, resource management, dendrology, and forest protection, focusing on the growth, health, and interaction with the environment of forests. Its goal is to maintain ecological balance and biodiversity through scientific management of forest resources while providing important ecological services for humans.

[0003] The Chinese patent with the publication number CN219301479U discloses a tree radial growth monitoring device. This device gives a set of second rod bodies driven by a spring to drive the corresponding curved plates to fit with another set of curved plates, so that the two sets of curved plates can quickly clamp on trees with different diameters. Only by manually pulling a set of second rod bodies to drive the corresponding curved plates to move away from one end of the other set of curved plates and making the distance between the two sets of curved plates greater than the diameter of the installed tree, it can be clamped and fixed on the tree through the elastic deformation of the spring, which is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the device and has high usability.

[0004] The above patent is fixed by clamping the curved plates on the outside of the tree. However, when the tree surface is uneven or has many textures, the degree of fit between the curved plates and the outer surface of the tree is poor, not only the measurement accuracy is low, but also the friction force with the tree is small, which easily leads to loosening and slipping, and the stability is poor. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tree growth monitoring device with good stability and high measurement accuracy.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows.

[0007] A tree growth monitoring device includes a first mounting block, a second mounting block, and a detection belt. A first winding shaft is rotatably installed inside the first mounting block, and a second winding shaft is rotatably installed inside the second mounting block. Both ends of the detection belt are respectively wound on the outer surfaces of the first winding shaft and the second winding shaft. Scale lines are arranged on one side of the outer surface of the detection belt close to the first winding shaft. A first housing is installed on the outer surface of the first mounting block, and the end of the first winding shaft penetrates into the inside of the first housing. A volute spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the first winding shaft, and both ends of the volute spring are respectively connected to the first winding shaft and the first housing. A winding mechanism capable of driving the second winding shaft to rotate is arranged on the outer surface of the second mounting block. A connection mechanism is arranged between the first mounting block and the second mounting block.

[0008] It can be seen that by tying the detection belt to the outer surface of the tree and using the connecting mechanism to fix the first mounting block and the second mounting block together, due to the elastic force of the scroll spring, the detection belt can be tightened and tied to the outer surface of the tree, thus achieving the purpose of installation. Since the detection belt has a high degree of fit with the outer surface of the tree, the measurement accuracy can be improved. Moreover, the whole device is small and light in weight, so the installation stability can be improved and it is not easy to loosen or slip. Through the setting of the winding mechanism, the second winding shaft can be driven to rotate to wind or release the detection belt, so that the initial scale of the scale line can be adjusted to the edge of the first mounting block, which is convenient for subsequent observation and recording of measurement data.

[0009] Further, the winding mechanism includes a second housing installed on the outer surface of the second mounting block. The end of the second winding shaft penetrates into the interior of the second housing and is equipped with a worm gear. A worm is rotatably connected inside the second housing, and the worm is meshed with the worm gear.

[0010] When the worm is rotated, since it meshes with the worm gear, the second winding shaft can be driven to rotate. By changing the rotation direction of the second winding shaft, the purpose of winding or releasing the detection belt can be achieved.

[0011] Further, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting groove opened on the outer surface of the first mounting block. A connecting block is installed on the outer surface of the second mounting block. An insertion block is arranged inside the connecting block. A telescopic spring is arranged inside the connecting block. The two ends of the telescopic spring are respectively abutted against the insertion block and the inner wall of the connecting block. A slot is opened on the surface of the first mounting block.

[0012] When assembling the first mounting block and the second mounting block together, the insertion block can be first pressed to make it contract into the connecting block. Then the connecting block is inserted into the connecting groove. When the insertion block aligns with the slot, the compressed telescopic spring releases its elastic force, so the insertion block can be pushed upward and inserted into the slot to achieve the purpose of assembly. When the insertion block is pressed downward to contract into the slot, the connecting block can be pulled out of the connecting groove to achieve the purpose of disassembly.

[0013] Further, a telescopic rod is installed inside the connecting block. The end of the telescopic rod is connected to the insertion block, and the telescopic spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod.

[0014] Through the setting of the telescopic rod, the telescopic spring can be guided to prevent it from bending and deforming, and its service performance can be improved.

[0015] Further, the end of the worm penetrates to the outside of the second housing and is equipped with a knob. Anti-slip protrusions are arranged on the outer surface of the knob.

[0016] Through the setting of the knob, it is convenient to rotate the worm. And due to the setting of the anti-slip protrusions, the friction between the knob and the hand can be increased, which can reduce the situation of hand slipping and improve the use experience.

[0017] Furthermore, rubber pads are provided on the side surfaces of the first mounting block and the second mounting block, and anti-slip patterns are provided on the outer surfaces of the rubber pads.

[0018] Through the setting of the rubber pads and the anti-slip patterns, the friction between the first mounting block and the second mounting block and the outer surface of the tree can be increased, further improving the stability of the device and reducing the situation of sliding and falling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] The following describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, a tree growth monitoring device includes a first mounting block 100, a second mounting block 101 and a detection belt 104. A first winding shaft 102 is rotatably mounted inside the first mounting block 100, and a second winding shaft 103 is rotatably mounted inside the second mounting block 101. Both ends of the detection belt 104 are respectively wound around the outer surfaces of the first winding shaft 102 and the second winding shaft 103. Scale lines 107 are provided on one side of the outer surface of the detection belt 104 close to the first winding shaft 102. A first housing 105 is mounted on the outer surface of the first mounting block 100, and the end of the first winding shaft 102 penetrates into the inside of the first housing 105. A scroll spring 106 is sleeved on the outer surface of the first winding shaft 102, and both ends of the scroll spring 106 are respectively connected to the first winding shaft 102 and the first housing 105. A winding mechanism 200 capable of driving the second winding shaft 103 to rotate is provided on the outer surface of the second mounting block 101. A connecting mechanism 300 is provided between the first mounting block 100 and the second mounting block 101.

[0028] When in use, first pull out the detection belt 104 and wind it around the outer surface of the tree. Then, through the setting of the winding mechanism 200, the first mounting block 100 and the second mounting block 101 are assembled together. At this time, due to the elastic force of the scroll spring 106, the detection belt 104 can be tightened and tied to the outer surface of the tree, thus achieving the purpose of installation. Since the detection belt 104 has a high degree of fit with the outer surface of the tree, the measurement accuracy can be improved. And the whole device is small and light in weight, so the installation stability can be improved and it is not easy to loosen and slip. Through the setting of the winding mechanism 200, the second winding shaft 103 can be driven to rotate to wind or release the detection belt 104, so that the initial scale of the scale line 107 can be adjusted to the edge of the first mounting block 100. When the diameter of the tree increases and drives the detection belt 104 to stretch, just observe the position where the scale line 107 corresponds to the edge of the first mounting block 100, which is convenient for subsequent observation and recording of measurement data. And after the detection belt 104 is stored in the first mounting block 100 and the second mounting block 101, it is small in size and convenient to carry around.

[0029] Specifically, the winding mechanism 200 includes a second housing 202 mounted on the outer surface of the second mounting block 101. The end of the second winding shaft 103 penetrates into the inside of the second housing 202 and is provided with a worm gear 201. A worm 203 is rotatably connected inside the second housing 202, and the worm 203 is meshed with the worm gear 201. When the worm 203 is rotated, since it is meshed with the worm gear 201, the second winding shaft 103 can be driven to rotate. By changing the rotation direction of the second winding shaft 103, the purpose of winding or releasing the detection belt 104 can be achieved.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting mechanism 300 includes a connecting groove 301 formed on the outer surface of the first mounting block 100. A connecting block 302 is mounted on the outer surface of the second mounting block 101. An inserting block 303 is provided inside the connecting block 302. A telescopic spring 304 is provided inside the connecting block 302. The two ends of the telescopic spring 304 are respectively abutted against the inserting block 303 and the inner wall of the connecting block 302. A slot 305 is formed on the surface of the first mounting block 100. When assembling the first mounting block 100 and the second mounting block 101 together, the inserting block 303 can be first pressed to make it contract into the connecting block 302. Then, the connecting block 302 is inserted into the connecting groove 301. When the inserting block 303 aligns with the slot 305, the compressed telescopic spring 304 releases elastic force, so that the inserting block 303 can be pushed upward and inserted into the slot 305 to achieve the purpose of assembly. When the inserting block 303 is pressed downward to contract it into the slot 305, the connecting block 302 can be pulled out of the connecting groove 301 to achieve the purpose of disassembly.

[0031] Specifically, a telescopic rod 400 is mounted inside the connecting block 302. The end of the telescopic rod 400 is connected to the inserting block 303, and the telescopic spring 304 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 400. Through the arrangement of the telescopic rod 400, the telescopic spring 304 can be guided to avoid the situation of bending deformation and improve its service performance.

[0032] Specifically, the end of the worm 203 penetrates to the outside of the second housing 202 and a knob 500 is mounted. Anti-slip protrusions are provided on the outer surface of the knob 500. Through the arrangement of the knob 500, it is convenient to rotate the worm 203. And due to the arrangement of the anti-slip protrusions, the friction between the knob 500 and the hand can be increased, the situation of hand slipping can be reduced, and the use experience can be improved.

[0033] Specifically, rubber pads 600 are provided on the side surfaces of the first mounting block 100 and the second mounting block 101. Anti-slip patterns are formed on the outer surfaces of the rubber pads 600. Through the arrangement of the rubber pads 600 and the anti-slip patterns, the friction between the first mounting block 100 and the second mounting block 101 and the outer surface of the tree can be increased, the stability of the device can be further improved, and the situation of sliding and falling can be reduced.
