The limiting rod 8 can prevent the flexible ruler 7 from retracting into the housing 1. Above the winding wheel 6, a measuring arm 13 is rotatably connected inside the housing 1. An electronic meter 15 for measuring the length of the flexible ruler 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the measuring arm 13. The electronic meter 15 is a roller type rangefinder. The roller type rangefinder is a prior art and will not be specifically described here. The lower end of the measuring roller 16 inside the electronic meter 15 is in contact with a conduction wheel 17. The conduction wheel 17 is rotatably connected to the measuring arm 13, and the flexible ruler 7 is attached to the outer wall of the conduction wheel 17. A display 2 for displaying the data of the electronic meter 15 is also fixedly connected to the front end of the housing 1. Specifically, a marking point 20 is provided on the outer wall of the conduction wheel 17. The 0 scale starting section of the flexible ruler 7 is aligned with the marking point 20. More specifically, there is no scale for the distance from the 0 scale point of the flexible ruler 7 to the limiting rod 8;

[0021] Specifically, an installation groove 3 is opened inside the housing 1. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the installation groove 3. The rotating shaft 5 is clamped inside the winding wheel 6. A torsion spring piece 4 for driving the rotating shaft 5 to reset is installed inside the installation groove 3. More specifically, the starting end of the torsion spring piece 4 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the end of the torsion spring piece 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5. A jack is opened in the middle of the winding wheel 6, and a limiting groove is opened on the inner wall of the jack. A raised block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5, and the raised block is slidably connected in the limiting groove;

[0022] A support column 11 for supporting the flexible ruler 7 slides inside the housing 1. The flexible ruler 7 can be kept in a taut state through the support column 11, thereby preventing the flexible ruler 7 from separating from the conduction wheel 17. A support rod 9 is fixedly connected below the support column 11. A torsion spring 10 is sleeved outside the support rod 9. Specifically, refer to Figure 4, the elastic torsion spring 10 is in a "V" shape, and one end of the elastic torsion spring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1, and the other end abuts against the bottom end of the support column 11, so as to give an upward force to the support column 11 through the elastic torsion spring 10, thereby making the flexible ruler 7 in a taut state;

[0023] Specifically, sliding grooves 12 are symmetrically opened inside the outer shell 1, and both ends of the support column 11 are slidably connected in the sliding grooves 12.

[0024] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figure 2 , 3 , 4. Based on Embodiment 1, a rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the measuring arm 13. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1, and a torsion spring is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 14. A large window is opened at the right end of the outer shell 1.

[0025] The working principle of the present utility model is:

[0026] When the present utility model is used, the flexible ruler 7 can be directly pulled out and then wound around the leg once starting from the 0 scale to measure the leg circumference. When the flexible ruler 7 is pulled out, the conduction wheel 17 will drive the metering roller 16 to rotate, so as to measure the length of the flexible ruler 7 pulled out through the electronic meter 15, and then display the leg circumference through the display 2. In this way, the leg circumference can be measured quickly and accurately, avoiding errors;

[0027] Moreover, when in use, the elastic block 18 can also be pressed towards the inside of the outer shell 1. When the elastic block 18 is pressed, it will disengage from the limiting window 19. After the elastic block 18 disengages from the limiting window 19, the measuring arm 13 will pop out of the outer shell 1 under the action of the torsion spring, and then the conduction wheel 17 is brought into contact with the leg and rolls around the leg to measure the leg circumference. In this way, the leg circumference can be measured more conveniently, thereby increasing the practicability of the present utility model.

[0028] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment 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, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
