Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of measuring instrument technology, and in particular relates to a forestry carbon sequestration measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Forestry carbon sequestration measurement refers to the process, activity, or mechanism of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through measures such as afforestation and vegetation restoration, thereby reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Since carbon sequestration is mainly produced by trees, it is necessary to periodically measure the diameter of trees in order to observe and record their growth. A search revealed a patent application with application number 202421357976.X, which discloses a forestry carbon sequestration measuring instrument, comprising two semi-circular mounting plates: a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate has receiving grooves at both ends, and the second mounting plate has corresponding insertion protrusions at both ends corresponding to the receiving grooves. The first mounting plate has corresponding pins installed on the insertion protrusions.
[0003] However, in actual use, the applicant found that when measuring the diameter of tree trunks, it is necessary for personnel to move around the trunk and check the scales on multiple connecting rods one by one, which makes the measurement of trunk diameter inconvenient. In view of this, we propose a forestry carbon sequestration measuring instrument. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model relates to a forestry carbon sequestration measuring instrument, comprising a base, with trunk clamping arms symmetrically and slidably connected to the rear side of the base. The front ends of the trunk clamping arms slide along guide grooves opened inside the base. The front ends of the two trunk clamping arms are elastically connected by springs. A spirit level is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the base. Scale dials are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base on both sides of the spirit level. Strip-shaped protective plates are fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the trunk clamping arms by screws. Handles are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the trunk clamping arms. Handles are symmetrically fixedly arranged on both sides of the base.
[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the trunk clamping arm is provided with an installation groove, the strip guard plate is fixed in the installation groove, and the end face of the strip guard plate is flush with the inner wall of the trunk clamping arm.
[0007] Preferably, the strip guard plate has symmetrical mounting feet at both ends, and stepped grooves are symmetrically formed at both ends.
[0008] Preferably, the screw passes through the stepped groove and is screwed into the threaded hole on the trunk clamping arm, and the end of the screw is embedded in the stepped groove.
[0009] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the base, and a guide slider is fixedly provided at the front end of the trunk clamping arm. The guide slider slides along the guide groove and is slidably sleeved on the guide rod.
[0010] Preferably, the spring is sleeved on the guide rod, and the two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the two guide sliders.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This utility model discloses a forestry carbon sequestration measuring instrument. It utilizes two trunk clamping arms to hold the tree trunk and observes the scale values on the inner sidewalls of the clamping arms. By adding the values on both sides, the trunk diameter can be quickly measured. By rotating the base around the trunk, the clamping arms slide along the outer wall of the trunk, allowing for rapid measurement of the trunk diameter at different locations. This makes operation more convenient. The included strip guards protect the inner walls of the clamping arms. When the strip guards become severely worn and affect measurement accuracy, they can be removed and replaced individually without replacing the entire device, reducing waste and improving performance.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A forestry carbon sequestration measuring instrument includes a base 1. Tree trunk clamping arms 4 are symmetrically slidably connected to the rear side of the base 1. The front ends of the tree trunk clamping arms 4 slide along a guide groove 12 inside the base 1. A guide rod 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A guide slider 42 is fixedly mounted on the front end of each tree trunk clamping arm 4, and slides along the guide groove 12. The guide slider 42 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 3. The front ends of the two tree trunk clamping arms 4 are elastically connected by springs 7, which are sleeved on the guide rod 3. The two ends of the springs 7 are fixedly connected to the two guide sliders 42 respectively. A spirit level 2 is fixedly connected at the center of the top of the base 1. The spirit level 2 is used to assist in measuring carbon sequestration. Personnel hold the device level to better clamp and measure the diameter of the tree trunk. A scale 11 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the base 1 on both sides of the bubble level 2. A handle 41 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the trunk clamping arm 4, and a handle 13 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the base 1. By using the two trunk clamping arms 4 to clamp the tree trunk and observing the scale value on the inner side wall of the front end of the trunk clamping arm 4 on the scale 11, the diameter of the tree trunk can be quickly measured by adding the values on both sides. By rotating the base 1 around the tree trunk, the trunk clamping arm 4 slides along the outer wall of the tree trunk, allowing for quick measurement of the trunk diameter at different locations, making the operation more convenient.
[0022] A strip-shaped protective plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the trunk clamping arm 4 by screws 6. An installation groove 43 is provided on the inner wall of the trunk clamping arm 4, and the strip-shaped protective plate 5 is fixed in the installation groove 43. The end face of the strip-shaped protective plate 5 is flush with the inner wall of the trunk clamping arm 4 to ensure measurement accuracy. The two ends of the strip-shaped protective plate 5 are symmetrically provided with mounting feet 51, and the two ends of the strip-shaped protective plate 5 are symmetrically provided with stepped grooves 52. The screws 6 pass through the stepped grooves 52 and are screwed into the threaded holes opened on the trunk clamping arm 4. The end of the screws 6 is embedded in the stepped grooves 52. The strip-shaped protective plate 5 can protect the inner wall of the trunk clamping arm 4. When the strip-shaped protective plate 5 is severely worn and affects the measurement accuracy, it can be disassembled and replaced separately without replacing the entire device, which can reduce waste and improve the use effect.
[0023] Working principle: In use, hold handle 41 and pull the trunk clamping arm 4 outward. The guide slider 42 at the front end of the trunk clamping arm 4 slides along the guide groove 12, which can stretch the spring 7 and place the trunk of the tree to be measured between the two trunk clamping arms 4. Then, slowly release the trunk clamping arm 4. Under the elastic force of the spring 7, the trunk clamping arm 4 can be driven to return to its original position and move, so that the trunk abuts against the end face of the strip guard plate 5. The trunk is clamped by the two trunk clamping arms 4. Then, hold handle 13 and observe. Observe the bubble level 2, level the base 1, then observe the scale value indicated on the dial 11 on the inner side wall of the two guide sliders 42, and add the scale values on both sides to obtain the diameter of the tree trunk at that location. By holding the handle 13, rotate the base 1 around the tree trunk, so that the strip guard plate 5 slides along the outer wall of the tree trunk, and the diameter of the tree trunk at different locations can be quickly measured. When the strip guard plate 5 is severely worn and needs to be replaced, the screw 6 can be unscrewed, and the strip guard plate 5 can be removed from the tree trunk clamping arm 4 for individual replacement.
