[0049] Specifically, the working principle of the sample preservation device for red fire ant research is as follows: when in use, after the red fire ants drill into the collection box 1 from the collection port 2, they can slide into the preservation box 501 from the collection slot 4 for preservation, and then the motor 506 drives the eccentric block 508 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 507, which can drive the driving block 512 to drive the first connecting rod 511 to move back and forth, and drive the piston 510 to move synchronously, so that the first one-way valve 514 and the second one-way valve 515 are alternately turned on, and air is injected into the air injection pipe 505 and sprayed into the preservation box 501, accelerating the fluidity of the air in the inner cavity of the preservation box 501, thereby ensuring the activity of the red fire ants and improving the sample quality.

[0050] The electric telescopic rod 614 can be timed to move by an external timer, and the electric telescopic rod 614 can drive the mounting frame 611 to move the second coupling gear 612 upward, so that the second coupling gear 612 is meshed with the first coupling gear 610, and the second rotating shaft 606 rotates synchronously with the odor dispersing plate 608, and the bait in the material box 603 can be discharged to the conical dispersing plate 615 through the spiral blade 607, and the conical dispersing plate 615 can evenly scatter the bait to the surface of the arc-shaped receiving plate 616 to trap the red fire ants. At the same time, the odor dispersing plate 608 rotates to drive the dispersing blade 616 to rotate. 09 rotates to improve the air flow in the inner cavity of the bait box 601 and increase the spread range of the bait odor; and when the second shaft 606 rotates, the third shaft 623 is driven to rotate through the first gear 624 and the third gear 626, and the driving ring 617 is driven to rotate through the second gear 625 and the bevel gear ring 622, so that the bait on the surface of the arc-shaped receiving plate 616 is scraped to the discharge hole 627 through the scraper 620, the bait is cleaned, and the bait is re-discharged through the spiral blade 607, so as to realize the replacement of the bait on the surface of the arc-shaped receiving plate 616 and ensure the trapping efficiency.

[0051] The rotation of the second rotating shaft 606 can drive the second protrusion 706 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the first protrusion 705 to drive the conical blocking block 701 to move downward. At this time, the collecting slot 4 is turned on, and the red fire ants and baits accumulated at the bottom of the collecting slot 4 fall into the preservation box 501 synchronously to feed the red fire ants in the preservation box 501. At the same time, the weight sensor 504 can identify and record the weight changes of the red fire ants inside the preservation box 501, which is convenient for studying the activity habits of the red fire ants.

[0052] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
