Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of slope measurement equipment, specifically a forest slope measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] Today's society places increasingly higher demands and stricter standards on ecological civilization construction. Forestry surveys, which focus on forest land, mountains, trees, and the flora and fauna and their environment within forest areas, aim to promptly grasp the quantity, quality, growth, and decline dynamics of forest resources, as well as their relationship with the natural environment, economic conditions, and management practices. This information serves to formulate and adjust forestry policies, develop forestry plans, and assess the effectiveness of forest management, ensuring the full utilization of forest resources in national economic development and continuously improving their potential productivity.

[0003] Traditional forest slope measurement equipment uses slope meters, but the detection range of slope meters is limited to the area in contact with the ground. That is, when a slope meter is placed on the ground, it can only detect the slope of the area in contact with the ground and cannot directly obtain the overall slope of the forest. The detection range is not comprehensive. At the same time, because forest slopes are long and the slope surface is relatively complex, with unevenness, slope meters cannot directly detect them. If drones are used to scan the slope, the cost of use is high and they cannot operate for long periods of time. In addition, the influence of spatial positioning or flight attitude can also lead to errors in the actual detection data. Therefore, we propose a forest slope measurement device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forest slope measurement device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the lack of comprehensive detection range, the long slope of forest land, the complex slope surface, and the unevenness of the slope surface, which makes it impossible for slope meters to directly detect. If drones are used to scan the slope, the cost is high and they cannot operate for a long time. In addition, the influence of spatial positioning or flight attitude will also lead to errors in the actual detection data.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a forest slope measuring device, including a platform, the platform being configured as a triangular structure, including an adjustment component, the adjustment component being installed at the bottom of the platform, and the adjustment component being inserted into the soil at the bottom;

[0006] The leveling component connects to the side of the platform and can detect the levelness of the platform.

[0007] The detection component is installed on the top of the platform and can detect the slope of the forest. The detection component includes a base, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the platform. A turntable is rotatably connected to the top of the base. A housing is installed on the top of the turntable. A knob is rotatably connected to the side of the housing. A drive shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the knob.

[0008] One end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the transmitter box. Three sets of light emitters are provided on the front of the transmitter box. A pointer is fixedly connected to the side of the transmitter box. A scale plate is rotatably connected to the end of the transmitter box. The bottom of the scale plate is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable. A camera is fixedly connected to the top of the transmitter box. A display is installed on the top of the turntable.

[0009] The drive shaft is connected to a track on its side, and an adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the track. A motor is installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate, and a controller is fixedly connected to the side of the motor via a wire.

[0010] The horizontal component includes a screw, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform. A movable ring is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the screw, and a foot pin is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable ring.

[0011] The detection component includes a horizontal frame, the side of which is fixedly connected to the side of the platform. A light-transmitting plate is installed inside the horizontal frame, and a scale ring is installed inside the light-transmitting plate.

[0012] The horizontal frame has a support bracket installed at its bottom, a support cover fixedly connected to the end of the support bracket, a ball rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support cover, a positioning rod fixedly connected to the central axis of the ball, and a lead ball fixedly connected to the bottom end of the positioning rod.

[0013] The scale ring is equipped with several sets, and the diameter of each set of scale rings changes arithmetically.

[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention achieves precise measurement of forest slope through the internal structure of the device. Compared to existing technologies, the adjustment component of this invention can precisely adjust the horizontal position of the platform. Personnel observe the pointer direction inside the leveling component and adjust the internal structure of the adjustment component to make the platform level. Then, using the infrared light emitted from the detection component and captured by a camera, the light from the infrared-illuminated area is received inside the camera, enabling the detection of forest slope. Compared to traditional detection methods, the detection distance is longer and the operation is simpler. The slope between the infrared-illuminated point and the fixed point of the device is determined by the angle between the detection point and the platform. The longer distance and more accurate detection data result in more precise data. Furthermore, the slope of the forest is measured in segments from bottom to top, allowing for the combination of multiple sets of data to detect the overall slope, resulting in more accurate detection and avoiding the inaccuracies of high-altitude detection.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a forest slope measuring device, including a platform 1, the platform 1 is configured as a triangular structure, including an adjustment component 2, the adjustment component 2 is installed at the bottom of the platform 1, and the adjustment component 2 is inserted into the soil at the bottom;

[0026] The horizontal component 3 is connected to the side of the platform 1, and the horizontal component 3 can detect the levelness of the platform 1;

[0027] Detection component 4 is installed on top of platform 1 and can detect the slope of the woodland.

[0028] The detection component 4 includes a base 16, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the platform 1. A turntable 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 16. A housing 18 is mounted on the top of the turntable 17. A knob 19 is rotatably connected to the side of the housing 18. A drive shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the knob 19. One end of the drive shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the emission box 25. Three light emitters 26 are provided on the front of the emission box 25. A pointer 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the emission box 25. A scale plate 28 is rotatably connected to the end of the emission box 25. The bottom of the scale plate 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 17. A camera 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the emission box 25. A display 30 is mounted on the top of the turntable 17.

[0029] When platform 1 is adjusted to a horizontal position, it can be rotated by the knob 19. Since the drive shaft 20 connected to the end of the knob 19 is directly connected to the side of the transmitter box 25, the transmitter box 25 is rotated on the side of the scale plate 28, causing the light emitter 26 on the front of the transmitter box 25 to emit three sets of infrared light. The operator can select a measurement point at any height on the forest slope, and the measurement point and the light emitter 26 are on the same vertical plane. The vertical plane is the vertical plane formed by the light emitter 26 illuminating the measurement point and is perpendicular to the ground. During measurement, the operator does not need to rotate the turntable 17. The light emitter 26 and the measurement point are on the same plane. When the light from the transmitter box 25 illuminates the designated measurement point, the camera 29 rotates with the transmitter box 25. The camera 29 has a long-distance zoom structure, and the camera 29 can capture the image illuminated by the infrared light. The infrared beam is transmitted to the display 30 via a connecting cable. Personnel can directly observe on the display 30 whether the infrared irradiation point and the measurement point coincide. If they do not coincide, the knob 19 can be adjusted to control and change the irradiation point of the light emitter 26. When the irradiation point and the measurement point coincide, the pointer 27 on the side of the transmitter box 25 points to the first position of the scale plate 28, which is the forest slope at that measurement distance. The scale plate 28 has slope scales on its side. If the forest slope is flat and level, the measurement point can be directly located at the highest point of the forest. Then, the measuring pointer 27 and the scale on the surface of the scale plate 28 are the measured slope. If the surface is uneven or the slope length exceeds the infrared irradiation range, segmented detection is used, and the data is summarized to obtain the forest slope, thereby realizing the detection of the slope of the entire slope range and avoiding the inaccuracy of high-altitude detection.

[0030] A track 21 is connected to the side of the drive shaft 20. An adjusting plate 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the track 21. A motor 23 is installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 22. A controller 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the motor 23 via a wire. The knobs 19 are divided into three groups. The diameter of the adjusting plate 22 in the leftmost group is four times the diameter of the drive shaft 20. By rotating the knobs 19 connected to the adjusting plate 22, and through the transmission of the track 21, the different speeds of the drive shafts 20 can be used to achieve rapid rotation of the launch box 25, enabling it to quickly find the measurement point. When micro-operation is required, the operator can control the controller 24 via a mobile phone. The controller 24 can then control the motor 23 to start, so that the output shaft of the motor 23 rotates at a low speed, driving the adjusting plate 22 connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the drive shaft 20 to rotate, thereby achieving the function of fine-tuning the rotation of the launch box 25.

[0031] Friction pads are installed on the side of the drive shaft 20. After the drive shaft 20 is rotated, the friction pads will fix the position of the drive shaft 20, thereby fixing the position of the deflection angle of the launch box 25 connected to the drive shaft 20, so as to facilitate personnel to record the slope of the measurement part.

[0032] The horizontal component 3 includes a screw 5, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the platform 1. A movable ring 6 is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the screw 5, and a foot pin 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable ring 6. In order to ensure the horizontal position of the platform 1, the operator can adjust any set of movable rings 6 to rotate. The movable ring 6 is moved up and down along the surface of the screw 5 by using the threaded groove on the side of the screw 5 and the threaded groove on the inner wall of the movable ring 6. This adjusts the position height of the three corners of the platform 1 to achieve a horizontal position. The horizontal position of the platform 1 is mainly determined by the relative position of the top of the positioning rod 14 inside the detection component 4 pointing to the scale ring 10.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] The detection component 4 includes a horizontal frame 8, the side of which is fixedly connected to the side of the platform 1. A light-transmitting plate 9 is installed inside the horizontal frame 8, and a scale ring 10 is installed inside the light-transmitting plate 9. The light-transmitting plate 9 is made of a light-transmitting material, and personnel can observe whether the top of the positioning rod 14 at the bottom of the light-transmitting plate 9 is pointing to the center of the scale ring 10.

[0035] A bracket 11 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal frame 8. A support cover 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the bracket 11. A ball bearing 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support cover 12. A positioning rod 14 is fixedly connected to the central axis of the ball bearing 13. A lead ball 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning rod 14. Due to the gravity of the lead ball 15, the positioning rod 14 is always perpendicular to the horizontal ground, and the ball bearing 13 can deflect on the inner wall of the support cover 12. The inside of the support cover 12 is set with a circular groove structure, and the diameter of the circular groove is equal to the diameter of the ball bearing 13, so that the ball bearing 13 can rotate on the inner wall of the support cover 12. The relative position of each set of screws 5 and the moving ring 6 inside the adjusting assembly 2 is adjusted according to whether the top of the positioning rod 14 is at the center of the scale ring 10.

[0036] The scale ring 10 is equipped with several sets, and the diameter of each set of scale ring 10 changes arithmetically. The relative position of the scale ring 10 and the positioning rod 14 reflects the deflection of the platform 1. Only when the platform 1 is in a horizontal position will the top of the positioning rod 14 point to the center of the light-transmitting plate 9 and the scale ring 10.
