Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of measuring device technology, and in particular to a portable measuring device for forestry. Background Technology
[0002] Forestry refers to the production sector that protects the ecological environment and maintains ecological balance, cultivates and protects forests to obtain timber and other forest products, and utilizes the natural characteristics of trees to play a protective role. It is an important component of the national economy. A seedling measuring device is one of the forestry tools, mainly used to measure the height of seedlings.
[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN221992582U discloses a portable measuring device for forestry field surveys, comprising a telescopic structure and a base plate. The telescopic structure includes a first telescopic block, a second telescopic block, and a third telescopic block. A second limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second telescopic block, and both the second telescopic block and the second limiting block are slidably connected to the first telescopic block. Similarly, a third limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third telescopic block, and both the third telescopic block and the third limiting block are slidably connected to the second telescopic block. In this invention, by setting up the telescopic structure, the first, second, and third telescopic blocks can move relative to each other when measuring the length of seedlings, thereby lengthening the overall length of the telescopic structure. Furthermore, the rotation of the rotating ring causes the threaded rod to move, resulting in the pressing block clamping and fixing the seedling onto the telescopic structure. This facilitates the measurement and recording of the seedling length and improves the accuracy of seedling measurement.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, existing technologies use the extension and retraction of the telescopic structure along its length, combined with scale lines, to measure the height of seedlings. However, existing measuring devices only have the function of measuring height, which reduces the applicability of the measuring device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To improve the applicability of portable measuring devices, this application provides a convenient measuring device for forestry.
[0006] The portable measuring device for forestry provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A portable measuring device for forestry includes a housing.

A diameter measuring component is provided on the housing, comprising a measuring tape, a rotating cylinder, and a coil spring. A fixed post is connected inside the housing. The rotating cylinder is sleeved on the fixed post. The coil spring connects the fixed post and the rotating cylinder. The measuring tape is wound around the rotating cylinder, with one end extending to the outside of the housing through the outlet. A connecting block is connected to one end of the measuring tape. Initially, the connecting block is in contact with the sealing plate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal cavity of the box is used to store other forestry tools, and it can be opened and closed through a closed door. During measurement, the box is placed on the ground, and the leveling component is used to adjust the box's level. Then, the connecting block is pulled, the coil spring is compressed, and the measuring tape extends out of the box. The measuring tape can then be used to wrap around the sapling to measure its diameter. Subsequently, the height measuring component is used to measure the sapling's height, thus achieving the effect of measuring the sapling's size. The diameter measuring component enables the measuring device to detect the sapling's diameter, allowing the measuring personnel to understand the changes in the sapling's growth.

A limiting groove is opened on the surface of the adjusting rod along its length direction. The limiting groove is slidably engaged with the limiting block. The other end of the adjusting rod is set as a pointed tip.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when leveling the box, rotate the support rod to the value state, insert the adjusting rod into the soil layer until it touches the rotating ring, observe the level, rotate the rotating ring at the corresponding position, and through the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting groove with the cooperation of the rotating ring and the adjusting rod, the adjusting rod is moved to raise the local height of the box and achieve the effect of leveling the box.
[0017] Optionally, the bottom wall of the box has a receiving cavity, and a magnet is connected to the top wall of the receiving cavity at the position corresponding to the support rod. The support rod is made of magnetic metal material. When stored, the magnet attracts the support rod, and the support rod is in a horizontal state.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when storing the support rod, rotate it until the magnet attracts it. At this time, the support rod is located inside the box and is in a horizontal state, thus achieving the effect of storing the support rod.
[0019] Optionally, an air temperature and humidity meter is installed on the housing, and the air temperature and humidity meter is electrically connected to the battery.

The height is then measured using the height measuring component, thus achieving the effect of measuring the sapling's size. The diameter measuring component enables the device to detect the sapling's diameter, allowing surveyors to monitor sapling growth. The internal cavity allows for the placement of more forestry tools, facilitating the surveyor's work. Compared to existing technologies, this adds more beneficial functions and improves the applicability of the portable measuring device. Attached Figure Description
