[0041] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a plant height measuring device, which includes a measuring unit 100 and a support unit 200. The measuring unit 100 includes a measuring body 110, a plant height measuring rod 120, and a pitch measuring rod 130. The plant height measuring rod 120 is slidably disposed on the measuring body 110 in the vertical direction for measuring the plant height, and the pitch measuring rod 130 is slidably disposed on the plant height measuring rod 120 in the vertical direction for detecting the plant pitch. The support unit 200 includes a support base plate 210 and three or more support components 220. The measuring body 110 is disposed on the support base plate 210, and the three or more support components 220 are tractively connected to the support base plate 210 so that the three or more support components 220 can simultaneously approach the support base plate 210 for housing or simultaneously move away from the support base plate 210 for supporting the support base plate 210.

[0043] A support unit 200 is provided to support the measuring unit 100 for measuring the plant height and internode distance. The measuring unit 100 includes a measuring body 110 and a plant height measuring rod 120 slidably disposed on the measuring body 110. The plant height is detected by sliding the plant height measuring rod 120. The detection unit also includes an internode measuring rod 130 slidably disposed on the plant height measuring rod 120. The internode measuring rod 130, together with the plant height measuring rod 120, can be used to measure the internode distance of the plant, so that the plant height measuring device can measure both plant height and internode distance. In addition, the support unit 200 includes a support base plate 210 and a support component 220. The measuring unit 100 is disposed on the support base plate 210. The support component 220 can be stored or moved away from the support base plate 210. When the support component 220 is moved away from the support base plate 210, the stability of the support for the support base plate 210 can be improved, reducing the problem of the measuring device shaking due to interference from external factors (such as wind and terrain) during the measurement process, which affects the accuracy of the measurement, thereby improving the detection accuracy. At the same time, three or more support components 220 move synchronously, which has high adjustment efficiency and is convenient for adjustment and modification.

[0044] Specifically, the support unit 200 is further provided with a drive module 230, which includes a drive turntable 231 and a transmission assembly 240. The drive turntable 231 is provided with first drive grooves 2311 corresponding to the support assemblies 220. The first drive grooves 2311 are arranged at an angle to the radial direction of the drive turntable 231. The support base plate 210 is provided with guide grooves 211 corresponding to the first drive grooves 2311. For example, there are four support assemblies 220, and correspondingly, there are four first drive grooves 2311 and four guide grooves 211. The transmission assembly 240 is rotatably mounted on the support base plate 210, with one end connected to the support assembly 220 and the other end provided with a drive column 2411 that can be placed in the first drive groove 2311. When adjusting the support assembly 220, the drive turntable 231 rotates, so that the drive column 2411 moves along the first drive groove 2311 under the guidance of the guide groove 211, thereby driving the transmission assembly 240 to move accordingly, so that the support assembly 220 connected to the transmission assembly 240 moves closer to or further away from the support base plate 210 in a synchronous manner.

[0045] Furthermore, to enable the drive turntable 231 to rotate, a drive sleeve 2312 is coaxially provided on the drive turntable 231. The inner wall of the drive sleeve 2312 is provided with a spiral second drive groove 2313. The drive module 230 also includes a drive protrusion 121 provided on the plant height measuring rod 120. The drive protrusion 121 can be placed in the second drive groove 2313. When the plant height measuring rod 120 slides away from the support base plate 210, the drive protrusion 121 slides along the second drive groove 2313. Since the second drive groove 2313 is spirally arranged, the drive turntable 231 rotates as the plant height measuring rod 120 rises, thereby driving multiple transmission components 240 to expand synchronously in the circumferential direction of the rotation axis of the drive turntable 231.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support unit 200 is further provided with a retaining member 250 coaxially arranged with the drive sleeve 2312. By providing the retaining member 250, the drive sleeve 2312 tends to drive the support assembly 220 away from the support base plate 210. This avoids the support assembly 220 from moving in the direction closer to the support base plate 210 after the drive column 2411 disengages from the drive groove, and also ensures the reliability of the support assembly 220. Optionally, the retaining member 250 is a spiral spring.

[0047] Specifically, the transmission assembly 240 includes a first transmission rod 241 and a second transmission rod 242, wherein a drive column 2411 is rotatably disposed at one end of the first transmission rod 241; one end of the second transmission rod 242 is rotatably disposed on the support base plate 210, and a support assembly 220 is disposed at the other end of the second transmission rod 242, with the other end of the first transmission rod 241 rotatably disposed at the middle of the second transmission rod 242 near the support assembly 220. When the drive rod moves along the guide groove 211, it synchronously pushes the first transmission rod 241 to move, and the first transmission rod 241 then pushes the second transmission rod 242 to rotate around its hinged position with respect to the support base plate 210, thereby causing the support assembly 220 at the other end to unfold relative to the support base plate 210.

[0048] Preferably, to improve the reliability and adaptability of the support component 220, the support component 220 includes a support sleeve 221 and a support foot 222. The support sleeve 221 is connected to the transmission component 240, and the support foot 222 is adjusted in the vertical direction and inserted into the support sleeve 221. By adjusting the position of the support foot 222 in the vertical direction, it can adapt to uneven ground.

[0049] Furthermore, the support assembly 220 also includes a support frame 223, which is adjustablely inserted into the support sleeve 221. Support feet 222 are inserted into the support frame 223, supporting the ground and threadedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 223. Height adjustment can be achieved by tightening the screws, making adjustment more convenient. In other words, the support frame 223 relative to the support sleeve 221 and the support feet 222 relative to the support frame 223 are both vertically adjustable. In actual use, adjustments can be made as needed, offering more adjustment methods and a wider adjustable range.

[0050] Specifically, the support frame 223 has multiple adjustment holes 2231 arranged vertically, and the support sleeve 221 has an adjustment block 2211, which can be placed at least within the adjustment holes 2231. Preferably, the adjustment block 2211 is set on the support sleeve 221 by a first locking reset member 2212. The first locking reset member 2212 is used to make the adjustment block 2211 tend to be placed within the adjustment hole 2231, so as to improve the reliability of the fit between the adjustment block 2211 and the adjustment hole 2231. When adjustment is needed, the adjustment block 2211 is pulled to overcome the deformation of the first locking reset member 2212, while the support frame 223 is adjusted to a suitable height. Then the adjustment block 2211 is released, and the adjustment block 2211 can be placed within the adjustment hole 2231 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first locking reset member 2212, thus completing the adjustment. The first locking reset member 2212 is set as a spring. Optionally, a support platform 224 is provided below the support foot 222 to increase the support area of ​​the support foot 222 on the ground and improve the reliability of the support.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to lock the relative position between the measuring body 110 and the plant height measuring rod 120, one of the measuring body 110 and the plant height measuring rod 120 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 111 spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the other is provided with a locking protrusion 122, which can be selectively locked into the locking hole 111. Optionally, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 is disposed on the plant height measuring rod 120 and connected to the plant height measuring rod 120 through the snap-fit ​​reset member 123. The snap-fit ​​reset member 123 makes the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 tend to be placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 111. When it is necessary to adjust the position between the measuring body 110 and the plant height measuring rod 120, the operator can manually press the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 to disengage the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 from the snap-fit ​​hole 111. At this time, the snap-fit ​​reset member 123 becomes elastic, and the relative position between the measuring body 110 and the plant height measuring rod 120 is adjustable. After adjustment, it is only necessary to loosen the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122, which is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 111 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the snap-fit ​​reset member 123, thus completing the adjustment. Preferably, the upper end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 is arc-shaped, which facilitates its retraction into the snap-fit ​​hole 111 when pressed, and also facilitates its automatic reset when the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 is released; the lower end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122 is flat, which is used to abut against the lower side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 111 to support the plant height measuring rod 120.

[0052] Furthermore, to lock the relative position between the plant height measuring rod 120 and the pitch measuring rod 130, the plant height measuring rod 120 is provided with a positioning hole 131, and a positioning bolt 132 is threaded into the positioning hole 131. After the pitch measuring rod 130 is adjusted to a suitable position, the positioning bolt 132 can be screwed on to make it abut against the pitch measuring rod 130, thereby preventing the pitch measuring rod 130 from sliding relative to the plant height measuring rod 120 and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement.

[0053] Optionally, a measuring head 140 is provided on the side of the plant height measuring rod 120 away from the supporting base plate 210 and on the side of the pitch measuring rod 130 close to the supporting base plate 210. The measuring head 140 can be unfolded relative to the pitch measuring rod 130 to facilitate observation and measurement by the operator, or it can be snapped onto the pitch measuring rod 130 to reduce its size and facilitate storage.

[0054] Preferably, the measuring head 140 located on the side of the plant height measuring rod 120 away from the supporting base plate 210 can be fastened to the pitch measuring rod 130 with the head facing downward, and the measuring head 140 located on the side of the pitch measuring rod 130 close to the supporting base plate 210 can be fastened to the pitch measuring rod 130 with the head facing upward, so as to avoid structural interference.

[0055] Specifically, to improve the reliability of the measuring head 140 engaging with the pitch measuring rod 130, a locking element 141 is provided at the end of the measuring head 140 away from the pitch measuring rod 130, and a locking hole 133 is provided on the pitch measuring rod 130. When the measuring head 140 is engaged with the pitch measuring rod 130, the locking element 141 can be placed in the locking hole 133. Optionally, the locking element 141 is provided on the measuring head 140 through a second locking reset element 143, which makes the locking element 141 tend to be placed in the locking hole 133. When it is necessary to unlock the measuring head 140 and the pitch measuring rod 130, the operator drives the locking element 141 to disengage from the locking hole 133. At this time, the second locking reset element 143 is compressed, and the measuring head 140 can rotate away from the pitch measuring rod 130 for measurement. When it is necessary to lock the measuring head 140 and the pitch measuring rod 130, the operator drives the locking member 141 to move to compress the second locking reset member 143, then rotates the measuring head 140 to bring it close to and engage with the pitch measuring rod 130, and finally releases the locking member 141. The second locking reset member 143 restores its elastic deformation, so that the locking member 141 is locked in the locking hole 133.

[0056] Furthermore, the measuring head 140 is also provided with an elastic element 142, which is used to give the measuring head 140 a tendency to unfold relative to the pitch measuring rod 130, so that after the operator unlocks the locking member 141, the measuring head 140 can unfold under the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 142, which is more time-saving and labor-saving. For example, the elastic element 142 is set as a spiral spring.

[0057] It is understood that the aforementioned plant height measuring device can be used to measure the height and internode length of tobacco plants. For ease of data reading, both the measuring body 110 and the plant height measuring rod 120 are provided with graduations. Exemplarily, the plant height measuring rod 120 is slidably disposed inside the measuring body 110, and the internode length measuring rod 130 is slidably disposed inside the plant height measuring rod 120. The graduations on the measuring body 110 are used to read data when measuring plant height, and the graduations on the plant height measuring rod 120 are used to read data when measuring internode length. Optionally, the fully extended height of the support measuring rod is two meters to accommodate the maximum height of the tobacco plant.

[0058] The above-mentioned plant height measuring device is used as follows: When measuring the height of tobacco plants, pull the plant height measuring rod 120 to slide and rise between it and the measuring body 110. During the rise of the plant height measuring rod 120, the arc surface of the locking protrusion 122 is squeezed by the inner wall of the locking hole 111 of the measuring body 110, compressing the locking reset piece 123. When it rises to a suitable height corresponding to the height of the tobacco plant, the locking protrusion 122 is reset under the action of the locking reset piece 123 and locks into the locking hole 111 of the measuring body 110, fixing the position of the plant height measuring rod 120. The rising height of the plant height measuring rod 120, i.e., the height of the tobacco plant, can be observed through the scale on the surface of the measuring body 110. At the same time, the rise of the plant height measuring rod 120 drives the drive protrusion 121 to rise. The drive protrusion 121 is in the drive sleeve 2312. The drive sleeve 2312 and drive turntable 231 rotate within the drive groove, causing the four sets of drive columns 2411 to move within their drive grooves and the guide grooves 211 of the support base plate 210. The first transmission rod 241 pushes the second transmission rod 242 to rotate and unfold around the hinge point, achieving automatic support and ensuring the stability of the plant height measuring device. At this time, the position of the drive turntable 231 is elastically supported by the retaining member 250, and the drive turntable 231 will not rotate without the influence of external force. At the same time, the drive protrusion 121 moves downward within the drive groove of the drive sleeve 2312, thereby causing the drive sleeve 2312 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the drive turntable 231 to rotate synchronously, so as to fold the four sets of second transmission rods 242 simultaneously.

[0059] When measuring the internode spacing of tobacco plants, pull the locking member 141 to disengage it from the locking hole 133. At this time, the second locking reset member 143 is compressed, and the measuring head 140 rotates away from the internode spacing measuring rod 130 under the drive of the second locking reset member 143. Correspondingly, the movement of the internode spacing measuring rod 130 relative to the plant height measuring rod 120 and the movement of the plant height measuring rod 120 relative to the measuring body 110 are adjusted to align the two measuring heads 140 with the upper and lower end faces of the internode to be measured. After adjustment, the internode spacing measuring rod 130 is locked by the positioning bolt 132 for easy reading of the scale readings on the internode spacing measuring rod 130. Of course, before measuring the plant height, the measuring head 140 set on the plant height measuring rod 120 can also be unfolded. The unfolding method will not be described in detail here.

[0060] When it is necessary to adjust the fit between the plant height measuring device and the ground at the tobacco planting location, pull the adjusting block 2211 to disengage it from the adjusting hole 2231 of the adjusting frame, move the adjusting frame to the appropriate position, release the adjusting block 2211, and the adjusting block 2211 will reset under the action of the first locking reset piece 2212 and be inserted into the adjusting hole 2231 of the adjusting frame to fix the position of the adjusting frame; and / or, rotate the support foot 222. Since the adjusting frame has an internal threaded groove and the support foot 222 has an external thread on its outer wall, rotating the support foot 222 will push the support platform 224 to descend synchronously, so that the support platform 224 fits against the ground at the tobacco planting location, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the plant height measurement.

[0061] In summary, the clear scale on the surface of the measuring body 110 of the plant height measuring device, along with the stable sliding connection between the plant height measuring rod 120 and the measuring body 110, and the fixing method of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 122, ensures accurate data reading when measuring plant height, avoiding measurement errors. The design of the pitch measuring rod 130 and the measuring head 140 allows the measuring head 140 to move by moving the pitch measuring rod 130 up and down. Combined with the measuring head 140 on the plant height measuring rod 120, it can accurately measure the internode spacing of tobacco plants. The scale on the surface of the pitch measuring ruler further ensures the accuracy of the measurement results. Meanwhile, the design of the support unit 200 allows the plant height measuring device to automatically deploy and stably support itself under different terrain conditions, without the need for additional auxiliary tools or complex adjustment operations. Furthermore, the flexible connection and adjustment methods between the components, such as the design of the support sleeve 221, support frame 223, support foot 222, and support platform 224, allow for fine-tuning according to different tobacco plant planting positions, ensuring measurement accuracy and stability and improving the applicability of the device. In addition, when measuring plant height, the height can be adjusted simply by pulling the plant height measuring rod 120, making the operation simple and quick. When measuring internode spacing, the measurement can be completed by moving the internode measuring rod 130 and the measuring head 140, without the need for complicated operating procedures. The design of the measuring head 140 and the locking piece 141 allows the measuring head 140 to be folded and fixed when not in use, making it convenient for storage and carrying of the device. Furthermore, the support unit 200 can be automatically folded when not in use by driving the turntable 231 to move in the opposite direction, reducing the space occupied by the device, improving the portability and ease of use of the device, reducing the labor intensity of tobacco farmers, and improving measurement efficiency.
