DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are involved in the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-6 , an integrated tree breast diameter automatic detection device, comprising a measurement shell 1, the measurement shell 1 is internally provided with a measurement assembly for measuring the breast diameter of a tree, the measurement assembly comprises a tape measure 401 arranged inside the body of the measurement shell 1, a connecting part 4 integrally formed with the measurement shell 1, the end of the tape measure 401 is arranged in the connecting part 4, and one side of the connecting part 4 is provided with a scale window. When measuring, the measurer pulls out the end of the tape measure 401 from the connecting part 4, surrounds the breast diameter of the tree once, and then observes the scale on the tape measure 401 through the scale window. Other specific structures and detailed contents are all disclosed in detail in the comparative file, so the embodiment will not be described here.​

[0025] The side of the measuring shell 1 is also provided with a containing space 101, both sides of the containing space 101 are provided with clamping plates 102 for fitting the tree diameter, and the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 102 are in circular arc shape structure, and the containing space 101 is also provided with a driving assembly for driving the two clamping plates 102 to move in opposite directions.

[0026] When the detection personnel measures the tree diameter, the driving mechanism can be started, the driving mechanism moves the two clamping plates 102 in opposite directions, so as to fix the measuring shell 1 on the tree, realizes the automatic clamping of the tree diameter, and facilitates the operator to measure the tree diameter by using the measuring assembly. By setting the clamping plate 102 and the driving mechanism, the operator can complete the measurement work by himself when measuring the tree with thick diameter, which significantly improves the convenience and practicality of the device. At the same time, one side of the clamping plate 102 is designed in circular arc shape structure, so that the clamping surface of the clamping plate 102 can better fit the surface of the tree trunk, increase the contact area, and improve the clamping effect, so as to ensure the stability during measurement.

[0027] Specifically, the driving assembly includes clamping gears 2 fixedly connected with the two clamping plates 102 respectively, a driving gear 201 engaged with one of the clamping gears 2, a micro motor 202, the two clamping gears 2 are rotatably connected with the inner wall of the containing space 101 through a rotating shaft 203, and the two clamping gears 2 are engaged with each other, the driving gear 201 is rotatably connected with the inner wall of the containing space 101 through a rotating shaft 204, the output end of the micro motor 202 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 204, and the micro motor 202 is fixedly connected with the inside of the containing space 101 through a support plate 205.

[0028] In use, the micro motor 202 is started, the output end drives the rotating shaft 204 to rotate clockwise, and then drives the driving gear 201 to rotate clockwise. The driving gear 201 drives one clamping gear 2 to rotate counterclockwise, and since the two clamping gears 2 are engaged with each other, the other clamping gear 2 will rotate clockwise. In this way, the two clamping gears 2 drive the clamping plates 102 to clamp the tree, so as to fix the measuring shell 1, and facilitate the measurer to measure the thick tree. The gear transmission system drives the clamping gears 2 to rotate through the driving gear 201 driven by the micro motor 202, realizes the relative movement of the two clamping plates 102, completes the automatic clamping, and improves the work efficiency of the detector.

[0029] The micro motor 202 can be selected from the 5840-31ZY series motor, which has a power-off self-locking function, so as to ensure that the micro motor 202 can still maintain good fixing effect after power-off, and prevent the measuring shell 1 from falling off.

[0030] Secondly, a pressure sensor can also be arranged on the inner side of the clamping plate 102, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected with the micro motor 202. When the clamping plate 102 clamps the tree, the pressure sensor can detect the pressure applied to the tree. When the pressure reaches the threshold value, it indicates that the clamping plate 102 has been closely attached to the tree. At this time, the micro motor 202 will automatically be powered off to avoid excessive clamping damage to the tree or damage to the device. In addition, a button 5 can also be arranged on the surface of the measuring shell 1 for driving the micro motor 202 to rotate, thereby improving the automation level of the device. This is a prior art known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail.

[0031] Further, an adjusting groove 3 is arranged on the inner side of each clamping plate 102, and an expansion plate 301 is slidably connected inside each adjusting groove 3. One side of the expansion plate 301 extends to the outside of the adjusting groove 3, and the inner side of the expansion plate 301 is also arc-shaped. The clamping plate 102 is provided with a fixing assembly for fixing the expansion plate 301. Such a design can adjust the extension length of the expansion plate 301 according to the size of the diameter of different trees, expand the application range of the detection device, and measure the diameter of trees of different thicknesses, thereby improving the versatility of the device. Moreover, the arc-shaped structure of the expansion plate 301 can still be well attached to the surface of the tree after adjustment, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement.

[0032] Secondly, a guide groove 302 is arranged on both sides of the adjusting groove 3, and a guide block 303 is arranged on both sides of the expansion plate 301 and slidably connected with the inner wall of the guide groove 302. The guide groove 302 and the guide block 303 provide a guide function for the sliding of the expansion plate 301 in the adjusting groove 3, making the movement of the expansion plate 301 more stable and smooth, avoiding the deviation of the expansion plate 301 during movement, and ensuring the reliability of the adjustment of the expansion plate 301.

[0033] In the embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a fixing screw 304, a rotating block 305, and a gasket 306. The clamping plate 102 is provided with a fixing groove 307 on the top, and the fixing groove 307 is in communication with the inside of the adjusting groove 3. The fixing screw 304 is threadedly connected with the top of the expansion plate 301, and the diameter of the fixing screw 304 is smaller than the width of the fixing groove 307. The rotating block 305 is fixedly connected with the top of the fixing screw 304, and one side of the rotating block 305 abuts against the top of the clamping plate 102. The gasket 306 is arranged between the rotating block 305 and the top of the clamping plate 102.

[0034] When the length of the clamping plate 102 needs to be extended, the operator rotates the rotating block 305 so that one side of the rotating block 305 is separated from the surface of the clamping plate 102. Since the diameter of the fixing screw 304 is smaller than the width of the fixing groove 307, the operator can directly move the extension plate 301 to the appropriate position. When the extension plate 301 is moved to the appropriate position, the operator rotates the rotating block 305 so that one side of the rotating block 305 is in contact with the top of the clamping plate 102, and the extension plate 301 is fixed in the adjusting groove 3 by using the friction force. The gasket 306 can increase the friction force between the rotating block 305 and the clamping plate 102, prevent the fixing screw 304 from loosening, and ensure the stability of the position of the extension plate 301.

[0035] The fixing assembly in the embodiment can fix the extension plate 301 by using the principle of friction force, and can stably fix the extension plate 301 at any position in the fixing groove 307, thereby effectively extending the adjusting range of the extension plate 301 and enhancing the practicability of the extension plate 301.

[0036] In order to facilitate the operator to rotate the rotating block 305, the cross section of the rotating block 305 is designed in a hexagonal shape, and a hexagonal groove 308 is arranged on the top of the rotating block 305. The hexagonal rotating block 305 facilitates the rotation of the corresponding tool (such as a hexagonal wrench), thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation.

[0037] In the embodiment, the avoiding groove 309 is arranged on one of the extension plates 301, and the other extension plate 301 is in sliding connection with the inner wall of the avoiding groove 309. When the two extension plates 301 move in opposite directions under the action of the clamping plate 102, the two extension plates 301 will cross each other, thereby reducing the space between the two extension plates 301, and enabling the extension plate 301 to clamp and fix some trees with small diameters, and further improving the use range of the device.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
