Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thorax measurement, specifically an electronic thorax measurement tool. Background Technology
[0002] Tree diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement is an important tool for assessing tree growth, resource management, and decision-making. DBH refers to the diameter of a tree's trunk at a certain height (usually 1.3 meters) above the ground, directly reflecting the tree's thickness. By regularly measuring DBH, we can understand the tree's growth rate and trend, assess its growth status, determine whether it is in a healthy growth state, and whether it is affected by environmental factors or pests and diseases.
[0003] In existing tree diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement work, the measurement method used by staff is mostly to manually wrap a measuring tape around the tree. Manual wrapping may result in errors, and for thicker tree trunks, multiple staff members may be required to operate, which wastes manpower and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content
