Since the height of the specimen after impact is smaller than the height of the mold outside it, the measurement is generally performed by measuring the height difference between the two ends of the specimen and the end face of the mold, and then the final specimen height is determined by subtracting the height difference measured on both sides from the height of the entire mold. The entire measurement process relies on manual labor, and the measurement error is large, which affects the accuracy of the final test results. Summary of the Invention
