Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree growth monitoring, and in particular to a tree growth monitoring and marking device that is easy to adjust in height. Background Technology

[0002] In forestry resource surveys, ecological monitoring, and forest management, tree growth is a core indicator for assessing forest health, carbon sequestration capacity, and growth dynamics. To achieve long-term tracking of individual trees, periodic measurements are usually taken at a certain distance from the ground, and permanent or semi-permanent marking devices are installed.

[0003] Most existing forest tree monitoring markers are designed at a fixed height. After installation, the observation position cannot be adjusted according to the growth of the trees. As the trees grow taller year by year, the original markers are often blocked by new branches, covered by bark, or moved away from the best line of sight, making it difficult to locate and read the data later, which seriously affects the continuity of monitoring.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a tree growth monitoring and marking device that is easy to adjust in height. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing marking devices that make it difficult to adjust the observation position according to tree growth, the technical problem is to provide a tree growth monitoring marking device that is easy to adjust in height.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A tree growth monitoring and marking device with adjustable height includes a slide rail, sliding plates, springs, hinges, arc-shaped clamps, a mounting plate, screws, guide rods, an adjusting handle, a slider, and a marking plate. Two sliding plates are slidably installed in the slide rail, and springs are fixedly connected between the sliding plates. An arc-shaped clamp is connected to the side of the sliding plates that are far apart from each other through a hinge. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rear end face of the slide rail. A screw is rotatably inserted through the middle of the mounting plate, and the lower end of the screw is rotatably inserted under the mounting plate. An adjusting handle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the screw. Guide rods are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the upper end face of the mounting plate. A slider is threadedly connected to the screw, and the slider is slidably connected to the two guide rods. A marking plate is fixedly installed in the middle of the rear end face of the slider.

[0007] Optionally, the front of the sign may be made of a transparent material.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a connecting plate and a locking bolt. The connecting plate is fixed to the open end of both arc-shaped clamps, and the clamping force of the two arc-shaped clamps is adjusted between the two connecting plates by the locking bolt.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a cushioning pad, with a cushioning pad fixedly provided on the side of the two curved clamps that are close to each other.

[0010] Optionally, the cushioning pad is made of soft plastic.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a measuring rope, with a notch on the front side of the lower end of the slider, and the measuring rope is rotatably mounted inside the notch.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By setting up a lifting mechanism consisting of a screw, a guide rod, a slider and an adjusting handle, this utility model achieves stepless adjustment of the height of the marker, which facilitates dynamic adjustment of the observation position according to the growth of the trees.

[0013] 2. This utility model achieves the effect of adapting the device to tree trunks of different thicknesses by setting a sliding plate inside the slide rail, setting a spring between the two sliding plates, and using a hinge to connect the arc-shaped clamping plate. This enables the device to achieve stable and flexible clamping and protect the growth of trees. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Example: A tree growth monitoring and marking device with easily adjustable height, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes a slide rail 1, a sliding plate 2, a spring 3, a hinge 4, an arc-shaped clamping plate 5, a mounting plate 9, a screw 10, a guide rod 11, an adjusting handle 12, a slider 13, and a marker plate 14. Two sliding plates 2 are slidably installed in the slide rail 1, and a spring 3 is fixedly connected between the sliding plates 2. The side of the sliding plates 2 that is far apart from each other is connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate 5 through a hinge 4. The mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rear end face of the slide rail 1. A screw 10 is rotatably inserted through the middle of the mounting plate 9, and the lower end of the screw 10 is rotatably inserted under the mounting plate 9. An adjusting handle 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the screw 10. Guide rods 11 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the upper end face of the mounting plate 9. A slider 13 is threadedly connected to the screw 10. The slider 13 is slidably connected to the two guide rods 11. A marker plate 14 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rear end face of the slider 13. The front side of the marker plate 14 is made of transparent material.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it also includes a connecting plate 7 and a locking bolt 8. The opening ends of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 5 are fixed with the connecting plate 7, and the clamping force of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 5 is adjusted between the two connecting plates 7 by the locking bolt 8.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it also includes a buffer pad 6. The buffer pad 6 is fixed on the side of the two arc-shaped clamps 5 that are close to each other. The buffer pad 6 is made of soft plastic.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a measuring rope 15, and a notch is provided on the front side of the lower end of the slider 13, within which the measuring rope 15 is rotatably mounted.

[0023] When using this height-adjustable tree growth monitoring and marking device, first, open the two arc-shaped clamps 5 so that they surround the tree trunk to be monitored. Each of the two arc-shaped clamps 5 has a buffer pad 6 on its closest side. The buffer pad 6 is made of soft plastic, which effectively protects the bark and increases friction to prevent the device from sliding. Adjust the clamping force between the two arc-shaped clamps 5 using the locking bolts 8 on the connecting plate 7 to firmly fix the device to the tree trunk. At this time, the slide rail 1 is connected to the arc-shaped clamps 5 via the hinge 4, allowing for a certain degree of adaptive adjustment. When the height of the marker 14 needs to be adjusted, manually rotate the adjusting handle 12. The adjusting handle 12 drives the screw 10 to rotate on the mounting plate 9. Since the screw 10 is threadedly connected to the slider 13, and the slider 13 is... The slider 13 is restricted to linear motion on the two guide rods 11, so it moves up and down along the guide rods 11. A marker 14 is fixedly installed on the rear end face of the slider 13, which drives the marker 14 to rise and fall synchronously. A measuring rope 15 is rotatably installed in the notch on the front side of the lower end face of the slider 13, which can be easily pulled out to measure the circumference. The front side of the marker 14 is made of transparent material, which is convenient for recording and viewing monitoring data. Two sliding plates 2 are slidably installed in the slide rail 1, and a spring 3 is fixedly connected between the sliding plates 2. This structure allows the two arc-shaped clamping plates 5 to adapt to different thicknesses of tree trunks by the relative sliding of the sliding plates 2 and the extension and contraction of the spring 3, ensuring stable clamping and uniform force, thus making it suitable for long-term dynamic monitoring of trees at different growth stages.
