[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which provides a protective mechanism for a portable dynamic tree measuring instrument, including a tree measuring instrument body 1. Slide grooves 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the tree measuring instrument body 1. A protective plate 3 is placed on the front side of the tree measuring instrument body 1. The left and right sides of the protective plate 3 are slidably connected to the inside of the slide grooves 2. A receiving plate 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the protective plate 3. A receiving groove 5 is provided inside the receiving plate 4.
[0029] The receiving groove 5 is equipped with a fixing mechanism 6 inside;
[0030] An auxiliary mechanism 7 is provided on the front side of the receiving plate 4.
[0031] Specifically, by setting up the fixing mechanism 6 and the auxiliary mechanism 7, the protective plate 3 can be quickly fixed and positioned, thereby providing good protection for the main body 1 of the tree measuring instrument when not in use, avoiding the influence of the external environment, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0032] Furthermore, by sliding the protective plate 3 on the front side of the tree measuring instrument body 1, and by using the fixing mechanism 6 set in the receiving groove 5 in conjunction with the auxiliary mechanism 7 set in the front side of the receiving plate 4, the operation area of the tree measuring instrument body 1 can be opened and closed.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] In the second embodiment of this utility model, the fixing mechanism 6 includes a first pressing plate 601, a second pressing plate 602, and a pull handle 603. The first pressing plate 601 is placed inside the receiving groove 5. The rear side of the first pressing plate 601 is slidably connected to the rear side of the receiving groove 5. The left and right sides of the bottom of the first pressing plate 601 are inclined at a certain angle. The left and right sides of the receiving groove 5 are each placed with a second pressing plate 602. The rear side of the second pressing plate 602 is slidably connected to the rear side of the receiving groove 5. The top of the second pressing plate 602 is inclined at a certain angle. The second pressing plate 602 cooperates with the first pressing plate 601. The front side of the first pressing plate 601 extends through and out of the front side of the receiving plate 4. The pull handle 603 is fixedly connected to the front side of the first pressing plate 601.
[0035] Each of the two extrusion plates 602 has a connecting rod 604 fixedly connected to one of its opposite sides. The opposite ends of the connecting rods 604 extend through and out of the surface of the receiving plate 4. Each of the opposite ends of the connecting rods 604 has a fixing plate 605 fixedly connected to one of its opposite ends. Each of the fixing plates 605 has a fixing rod 606 fixedly connected to one of its opposite sides. The end of the fixing rod 606 that is close to the tree measuring instrument body 1 extends through and out of the surface of the protective plate 3. Fixing holes 607 are provided on both the left and right sides of the tree measuring instrument body 1. The fixing holes 607 are used in conjunction with the fixing rods 606.
[0036] Guide rods 608 are placed on both the upper and lower sides of the second extrusion plate 602. The left and right ends of the guide rods 608 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the receiving groove 5. The upper and lower sides of the second extrusion plate 602 are slidably connected to the surface of the guide rods 608.
[0037] Springs 609 are fitted on the surface of the guide rod 608. One end of the spring 609 near the first extrusion plate 601 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second extrusion plate 602, and the other end of the spring 609 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 608.
[0038] Specifically, by setting the fixing mechanism 6, the protective plate 3 can be reliably locked and quickly released, ensuring that the operating area of the tree measuring instrument body 1 is fully exposed when in use, and the protective plate 3 is tightly closed when not in use, effectively protecting the front control interface of the tree measuring instrument body 1 from external damage.
[0039] Furthermore, when the first pressing plate 601 moves downward, due to the tilt angle of its bottom, it will press the second pressing plates 602 on both sides to move away from each other along the guide rod 608. Then, the second pressing plate 602 drives the connecting rod 604 to move, the connecting rod 604 drives the fixing plate 605 to move, and the fixing plate 605 drives the fixing rod 606 to move. When the fixing rod 606 moves out of the fixing hole 607, the locking state of the protective plate 3 is released. Then, the protective plate 3 moves downward along the slide 2. When the protective plate 3 is removed from the front control interface of the tree measuring instrument body 1, the tree measuring instrument body 1 can be used for subsequent measurement work.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] In the third embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary mechanism 7 includes a limiting frame 701, a limiting rod 702, and a pull rod 703. The limiting frame 701 is fixedly connected to the front side of the receiving plate 4. The limiting rod 702 is placed inside the limiting frame 701. The limiting rod 702 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting frame 701. The pull rod 703 is fixedly connected to the front side of the limiting rod 702. The limiting rod 702 and the pull handle 603 are used in cooperation with each other.
[0042] A support frame 704 is fixedly connected to the front side of the receiving plate 4, and the support frame 704 and the limiting rod 702 are used in conjunction with each other.
[0043] Specifically, by setting the auxiliary mechanism 7, the position of the pull handle 603 can be limited and locked to prevent the fixing mechanism 6 from accidentally resetting when not in operation, thereby improving operational stability and safety.
[0044] Furthermore, the first compression plate 601 is pressed down using the pull handle 603. When the pull handle 603 is moved to the bottom, the limit rod 702 is moved using the pull rod 703 so that the limit rod 702 passes through the top of the pull handle 603 and is then inserted into the support frame 704, thereby fixing the pull handle 603 and preventing it from resetting.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] In use, first use the pull handle 603 to press down on the first pressing plate 601. When the pull handle 603 is moved to the bottom, use the pull rod 703 to move the limiting rod 702, so that the limiting rod 702 passes through the top of the pull handle 603 and is inserted into the support frame 704, thereby fixing the pull handle 603 and preventing it from returning to its original position. When the first pressing plate 601 moves downward, due to the tilt angle at its bottom, it will squeeze the second pressing plates 602 on both sides to move away from each other along the guide rod 608. Then, the second pressing plates 602 drive the connecting rod 604 to move, the connecting rod 604 drives the fixing plate 605 to move, and the fixing plate 605 drives the fixing rod 606 to move. When the fixing rod 606 moves out of the fixing hole 607... After exiting, the locking state of the protective plate 3 is released, and then the protective plate 3 moves downward along the slide 2. After the protective plate 3 is removed from the front control interface of the tree measuring instrument body 1, the tree measuring instrument body 1 can be used to carry out subsequent measurement work. After the work is completed, the protective plate 3 is reset first, and then the pull rod 703 is used to move the limit rod 702 so that it is removed from the top of the pull handle 603. After it is removed, the spring 609 will reset the second pressing plate 602. The second pressing plate 602 drives the fixing rod 606 to reset, so that it is inserted into the fixing hole 607 to fix the protective plate 3. At the same time, the second pressing plate 602 will also push the first pressing plate 601 to reset upward during the reset process, and drive the pull handle 603 to return to the initial position.
[0047] In summary, by using the combined components of the tree measuring instrument body 1, slide 2, protective plate 3, receiving plate 4, receiving groove 5, fixing mechanism 6, first pressing plate 601, second pressing plate 602, pull handle 603, connecting rod 604, fixing plate 605, fixing rod 606, fixing hole 607, guide rod 608, spring 609, auxiliary mechanism 7, limit frame 701, limit rod 702, pull rod 703, and support frame 704, the problem of existing equipment often lacking an effective protective mechanism is solved. This results in the operating interface being exposed when the equipment is not in use, making it susceptible to external environmental factors such as dust, rain, and impacts, causing screen scratches, button malfunctions, or circuit damage, thus reducing the equipment's service life and measurement reliability.
