Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a trekking pole with a diameter gauge. Background Technology

[0002] Diameter at breast height (DBH) is the diameter of a tree trunk above the ground, which is equivalent to the height of an average adult's chest. In China and most other countries, the height of breast height is defined as 1.3 meters above the ground.

[0003] When mountaineers measure the diameter at breast height (DBH) of trees, they carry tools to measure the DBH. In the field, they first need to measure the height of the tree at 1.3 meters before using the measuring tools. This results in the need to take multiple measurements to obtain the DBH, thus increasing the workload of the staff. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.

[0020] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4The trekking pole shown includes a handle 1, a pole 2 at the bottom of the handle 1, a central shaft 13 inside the handle 1, a central shaft 13 with a central shaft 9 for measuring fitted on the outer wall of the central shaft 13, a metal buckle 8 at one end of the central shaft 9 for pulling the central shaft 9, a rotating component at the top of the central shaft 13 for rotating the central shaft 13, and a limiting component at the bottom of the central shaft 13 for limiting the movement of the central shaft 13. The length of the pole 2 is 1.3m.

[0021] It should be noted that the handle 1 is a ring-shaped cylinder, the pivot rod 13 is located inside the ring-shaped cylinder, one end of the diameter at breast height (DBH) gauge 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the pivot rod 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the metal buckle 8. The DBH gauge 9 is wrapped around the outer wall of the pivot rod 13 and stored inside the handle 1 through the pivot rod 13. The height of the cane 2 is consistent with the height of the tree to be measured from the ground. In use, the bottom end of the cane 2 is directly placed against the ground, and the DBH gauge 9 is pulled through the metal buckle 8 to measure the diameter at breast height of the tree.

[0022] Specifically, an outlet groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the handle 1, and the caliper 9 is inserted and connected inside the outlet groove 10.

[0023] It should be noted that the horizontal cross-sectional length of the outlet groove 10 is less than the horizontal cross-sectional length of the metal buckle 8, preventing the metal buckle 8 from passing through the outlet and entering the interior of the handle 1.

[0024] Specifically, the top of the handle 1 is provided with an upper cover 11, and the bottom of the handle 1 is provided with a lower cover 15.

[0025] It should be noted that the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 15 can be fixed to the top and bottom of the handle 1 by adhesive bonding, thereby blocking the hole in the middle of the ring cylinder.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating component includes a connecting rod 7 that is inserted into the middle of the shaft rod 13, the connecting rod 7 being inserted into the middle of the upper cover 11, and positioning rods 6 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting rod 7. A rotating rod 4 is hinged to one end of the positioning rod 6, and a rotating paddle 5 is provided on one side of the rotating rod 4. A locking position 3 is provided on one side of the rotating rod 4.

[0027] It should be noted that the connecting rod 7 is inserted and fixed in the middle of the shaft rod 13. When rotating the shaft rod 13 to roll up the breast gauge 9, the shaft rod 13 is rotated directly by rotating the connecting rod 7. There are two positioning rods 6, which are fixed on both sides of the connecting rod 7. The rotating rod 4 is hinged to the end of the positioning rod 6. In use, the rotating rod 4 can rotate at the end of the positioning rod 6. The rotating paddle 5 and the locking position 3 are fixed on the side of the rotating rod 4 away from the positioning rod 6. When it is necessary to rotate the connecting rod 7, the rotating rod 4 is first rotated to be perpendicular to the upper cover 11, and then the rotating paddle 5 and the locking position 3 are used to drive the connecting rod 7 to rotate. When it is not necessary to rotate the connecting rod 7, the rotating rod 4 is rotated around the positioning rod 6, so that the rotating rod 4 is parallel to the upper cover 11, and the rotating paddle 5 and the locking position 3 are in contact with the upper cover 11.

[0028] Specifically, the limiting components include a bearing 17 fixedly connected to the top of the lower cover 15, and a connecting rod 7 inserted through the middle of the bearing 17.

[0029] It should be noted that the outer groove ring of the bearing 17 can be fixed to the top of the lower cover 15 by adhesive bonding. The bottom end of the connecting rod 7 is inserted into the inner groove ring of the bearing 17. The bottom end of the connecting rod 7 can be fixed to the inner groove ring of the bearing 17 by adhesive bonding. The position of the connecting rod 7 is fixed by the bearing 17 in a fixed position. When the connecting rod 7 needs to rotate, it drives the inner groove ring of the bearing 17 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, the top and bottom of the pivot rod 13 are symmetrically provided with an upper cover 12 and a lower cover 14 for restricting the movement of the thorax ruler 9, and the connecting rod 7 is inserted and connected in the middle of the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 14.

[0031] It should be noted that the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 14 are identical in shape, and their horizontal cross-sectional diameter is larger than that of the horizontal cross-sectional diameter of the spindle 13. When the caliper 9 is wound around the outer wall of the spindle 13, the top and bottom of the caliper 9 fit against the bottom and top of the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 14, respectively. The upper cover 12 and the lower cover 14 prevent the caliper 9 from moving randomly during winding.

[0032] Specifically, a tapered threaded rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower cover 15, and the tapered threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to the top of the rod 2.

[0033] It should be noted that a tapered thread groove adapted to the tapered threaded rod 16 is provided at the top of the staff 2. When it is necessary to fix the position of the handle 1, the tapered threaded rod 16 at the bottom of the lower cover 15 is directly screwed into the tapered thread groove at the top of the staff 2, and the handle 1 is fixed to the top of the staff 2 by means of threaded connection.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
