DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown together, the utility model provides a plant height measuring instrument, including a telescopic sleeve, which is composed of an outer tube 1 and an inner tube 2 that are slidably connected, and the inner tube 2 can be pulled out from the top of the outer tube 1.
[0031] A base 5 is installed at the bottom end of the outer tube 1.
[0032] The top side of the inner tube 2 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 6 via a connecting plate 7. The slide bar 6 is arranged parallel to the telescopic sleeve. The inner tube 2 drives the slide bar 6 to move synchronously during the telescopic process.
[0033] A first pendulum seat 8 is mounted on the bottom end of the slide bar 6 away from the telescopic sleeve, and a first measuring rod 9 is mounted on the first pendulum seat 8. The first measuring rod 9 can rotate and swing with the first pendulum seat 8, and the first measuring rod 9 can be arranged parallel to the slide bar 6 or perpendicular to the slide bar 6.
[0034] A second pendulum seat 10 is mounted on the top of the slide bar 6 away from the telescopic sleeve, and a second measuring rod 11 is mounted on the second pendulum seat 10. The second measuring rod 11 can rotate and swing with the second pendulum seat 10, and the second measuring rod 11 can be arranged parallel to the slide bar 6 or perpendicular to the slide bar 6.
[0035] Damping structures are installed inside the first pendulum seat 8 and the second pendulum seat 10, which ensure that the pendulum seat and the measuring rod can swing smoothly and slowly.
[0036] A laser head 12 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer tube 1 . The laser head 12 is fixedly mounted above the base 5 , and emits a light beam upward.
[0037] A reflective sheet 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the inner tube 2, and the reflective sheet 13 is located just above the emission end of the laser head 12. The laser head 12 and the reflective sheet 13 cooperate to realize laser ranging.
[0038] The laser head 12 can measure the displacement length of the inner tube 2 in real time. The displacement length of the inner tube 2 is the displacement length of the measuring rod.
[0039] A power supply box 14 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the connection between the outer tube 1 and the base 5. The power supply box 14 supplies power to the laser head 12. A control switch is provided on the top of the power supply box 14, and a USB charging port is provided on the side.
[0040] The outer tube 1 is provided with a limiting hole 3 near its top end, and the inner tube 2 is provided with a limiting post 4 near its bottom end. The limiting post 4 cooperates with the limiting hole 3 to limit the extension and contraction stroke of the inner tube 2, preventing the inner tube 2 from being withdrawn from the top end of the outer tube 1. During the withdrawal and extension process of the inner tube 2, the limiting post 4 presses against the inner wall of the outer tube 1, providing a damping function, allowing the inner tube 2 to be withdrawn smoothly and slowly.
[0041] The specific working principle of this utility model:
[0042] The present invention utilizes a laser head 12 and a reflective sheet 13 to achieve laser ranging. The laser head 12 can measure the displacement length of the inner tube 2 in real time. The displacement length of the inner tube 2 is the displacement length of the measuring rod. The measurement data can be transmitted to a mobile phone for display and reading.
[0043] The utility model has two measurement modes: when the plant to be measured is shorter, the first measuring rod 9 is used for measurement. During measurement, the first measuring rod 9 is vertically arranged to the sliding rod 6, and the moving height of the first measuring rod 9 can be obtained by laser ranging; when the plant to be measured is taller, the second measuring rod 11 is used for measurement. During measurement, the second measuring rod 11 is vertically arranged to the sliding rod 6, and the moving height of the second measuring rod 11 can be obtained by laser ranging. The plant height is converted and transmitted to the mobile phone for display and reading.
