Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biological breeding, and more specifically to a splicable ant breeding observation house. Background Art
[0002] At present, there is no dedicated feeding and research device for ant research and breeding. In feeding and research, ants are mostly fed and studied by directly using plastic boxes and placing soil inside. However, it is not convenient to observe and study during breeding, and the humidity of the soil cannot be maintained. The soil is prone to being too dry, resulting in the death of ants. In addition, the existing ant breeding box structure is usually fixed and cannot be expanded, and the functions are separate, which leads to excessive ant density and the need to convert different functions. The ants need to be moved back and forth manually, which easily causes the ants to be uncomfortable or even lost and die, causing inconvenience to the staff. In view of this, the inventor proposes a splicable ant feeding and observation house, which can be expanded according to demand by splicing different houses, and a water tower is set through the house to maintain the humidity inside the house.
[0003] In order to facilitate the breeding and observation of ants, and at the same time to effectively moisturize the place where they live so that ants can survive better, a Chinese patent (authorization announcement number: CN207544104U) discloses an acrylic ant nest. The utility model includes a nest body, an activity area, a water tower and a lid. The nest body has a nest chamber, a passage, a stair opening, an outer stair, an inner stair, a switch slot, a layered switch, an expansion port, a No. 1 plug, an inlet and outlet, a sponge slot, a sponge, a seepage board, a water inlet, a water outlet, a water tower interface and a seepage board slot structure; the seepage board has a linear hole structure; the activity area has a lid opening, an outer interface and a No. 2 plug structure; the water tower has a water tower base, a test tube and a water tower mouth structure. The utility model adopts an acrylic plate as the whole nest body. The acrylic plate is highly transparent and hard, so that the activities of ants can be observed and the nest body can be prevented from being damaged by ants. The water tower, sponge and water seepage plate structure are moisturizing and prevent the ants from dying of dehydration. The layered switch can control the outer steps and can be opened or closed according to the size of the ant colony, so as to facilitate the feeding, exercise and observation of ants.
[0004] This solution still has some shortcomings in application. Since the ant colony is large and reproduces quickly, the house needs to be adjusted and expanded according to the size of the ants during the breeding process. Otherwise, it is easy for the ants to be too large and the house cannot accommodate them. At the same time, during breeding observation, it is necessary to provide equipment for ant activities, such as the most common climbing parts, so that the staff can better observe the ants through the crawling exercise of the ants. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of the ant breeding observation house so that it can be quickly and conveniently spliced, and it also has the function of providing exercise for the ants and observation by the staff.
