Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pest cultivation and observation device, in particular to an aphid cultivation and observation cage. Background Art

[0002] Aphids are an extremely important pest in agricultural production. Aphids can excrete a large amount of honeydew to contaminate leaves and fruits, thereby causing sooty mold disease and affecting plant photosynthesis. Aphids can also spread viral diseases, causing large-scale viral diseases. Therefore, prevention and control of aphid diseases is a very important task in the agricultural production process.

[0003] In order to achieve accurate prevention and control of aphid diseases, it is necessary to fully understand the occurrence habits and laws of aphids and their physiological performance at various stages. To this end, it is necessary to conduct sufficient observation and experiments on aphids.

[0004] The existing aphid breeding and experimental methods usually use the leaf disc method, that is, aphids are cultured on detached leaves and then the aphids are observed. However, the disadvantage of this method is that after the leaves are detached, their metabolism is different from the original one, and there is a difference between the physiological activities of aphids on the leaves and the actual ones, resulting in differences between the observed results and the actual results. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an aphid cultivation and observation cage to solve the technical problems existing in the existing leaf disc method of cultivating and observing aphids.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An aphid cultivation and observation cage comprises a cage body, wherein the cage body comprises two half cages, the two half cages have a concave space, and the two half cages are matched to form a cultivation space in which a blade cover is arranged, and further comprises an elastic hinge, wherein the elastic hinge has two functional ends with a closing tendency, the two functional ends are respectively connected to the corresponding half cages, so that the two half cages are in a closed state when not subjected to external force, and an insert sleeve is further arranged on the edge of one of the half cages, and a support rod is detachably inserted into the insert sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the plug sleeve is universally rotatably connected to the edge of the half cage.

[0009] Preferably, the support rod is a telescopic rod.

[0010] Preferably, two groups of buckles are provided on the outer edge of one of the half cages, and the two groups of buckles are symmetrically arranged with respect to the elastic hinge.

[0011] Preferably, the half cage comprises a frame, in which a mesh is arranged to form a space to prevent aphids from escaping.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of nail hooks are provided on the inner side surface of the frame, and the nail hooks are arranged through the mesh so that the mesh can be detachably laid on the inner side of the frame.

[0013] Preferably, a petiole half-tube is further provided at the end of the frame opposite to the side where the elastic hinge is located. After the two half cages are matched, the two petiole half-tubes are synchronously matched to form a channel for the petiole to pass through.

[0014] Preferably, a sponge is provided on the inner side of the petiole half tube.

[0015] Preferably, a circle of pressure relief pads is arranged around the end surface of the half cage.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] When cultivating and observing aphids, the present invention first opens the two half cages, then extends the leaves that need to cultivate aphids between the two half cages, and then loosens the opened half cage, so that the two half cages are closed under the drive of the elastic hinge, and the leaves for cultivating aphids are completely covered by the space formed by the two half cages. Then, the support rod is plugged into the plug sleeve so that the cage body does not pull the clamped leaves. In the above manner, the entire leaf is covered by the cage body, providing as much space as possible for the activities of aphids, and because the support rod supports the cage body, the leaves, especially the tender leaves, can be cultivated in a natural state without being pulled, and the staff can also obtain aphid activity data that is more in line with the natural breeding state, providing effective data support for the prevention and control of aphids.

[0022] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 The aphid cultivation and observation cage shown in the figure comprises a cage body 100, which is specifically composed of two half cages 110. Figure 2As shown, the two half cages are recessed inwards so as to form a cultivation space in which the leaves are covered after the two half cages are matched. It should be noted that the cage body of the present scheme has enough space to completely cover the leaves for cultivating aphids without separating the leaves from the body. In order to keep the two half cages 110 in a closed state at all times when cultivating aphids, the cage body also includes an elastic hinge 120, which is U-shaped and has two functional ends 121. When the two functional ends of the elastic hinge are respectively connected to the two half cages, the two half cages 110 can remain closed under the drive of the elastic hinge. In addition, it should be noted that in the process of cultivating and observing aphids, the tender leaves, as the most important cultivation subject, have low strength and are usually unable to withstand the pulling exerted on them by the weight of the cage body and are easily damaged, destroying the biological properties of the tender leaves, thereby affecting the subsequent cultivation of aphids. In order to avoid this situation and ensure the integrity and naturalness of the tender leaves during the process of cultivating aphids, at least one plug-in sleeve 300 is provided on the edge of the half cage, in which a support rod 200 is plugged, and the lower end of the support rod is inserted into the ground so that the cage body can be suspended at the same height as the covered leaves, thereby reducing the pulling on the covered leaves.

[0026] In addition, it should be noted that the growth direction of each blade is different, and in order to extend along the growth direction of the blade when the cage is covered with the blade as much as possible to reduce interference with the blade, the plug sleeve is connected to the edge of the half cage 110 in a shaft-ball connection manner and can be universally rotatable. It should be noted that before the support rod is inserted into the soil, the direction of the plug sleeve can be adjusted so that after the support rod is inserted into the soil, the mating surfaces of the two half cages are along the growth direction of the blade.

[0027] In addition, the leaves where aphids are cultivated are at different heights, so a telescopic support rod can be used to adjust the length of the support rod in real time after supporting the cage 100. In addition, it should be noted that the telescopic support rod is shortened after contraction, which is also convenient for subsequent storage and storage.

[0028] It should also be noted that, in the above scheme, if only one elastic hinge 120 is used to make the two half cages mate, the half cage part far away from the elastic hinge still has the problem of poor sealing, and the cultivated aphids will also escape from the gap between the blade and the half cage. For this reason, two groups of buckles 400 are also provided on the outer edge of one of the half cages 110. When the two half cages are mate, the buckles on one of the half cages are buckled on the edge of the other half cage, so that the strength of the buckle of the two half cages is further improved. It should be noted that the two groups of buckles are symmetrical to the left and right settings of the elastic hinge, and are arranged far away from the elastic hinge. Preferably, the two groups of buckles 400 are preferably in the middle of the half cage, so that the force applied by the buckles to the half cage is more balanced.

[0029] In addition, in order to better fit the natural environment when cultivating aphids, the half cage covering the leaves needs to have a smooth circulation path with the external environment. Specifically, the half cage 110 in this solution includes a frame 111 built by strip materials, and a piece of mesh 114 is provided on the inner surface of the frame to form a cultivation space in the frame. It should be noted that the mesh can be fixed on the frame by glue, cable ties, etc. In addition, in this solution, because of the permeability of the mesh, external air, moisture, and light can all smoothly enter the cage body, providing a close-to-natural environment for the cultivation of aphids.

[0030] In addition, it should be noted that, as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the mesh 114 is preferably replaceable. The specific reason is that aphids produce a large amount of honey dew, which not only pollutes the leaves, but also pollutes the mesh after the aphids are transferred to the mesh. It is obviously better to replace a clean mesh each time it is reused. For this reason, a number of nail hooks 112 are also provided on the inner side of the frame. These nail hooks pass through the mesh that needs to be attached to the inner surface of the frame to prevent the mesh from falling off the frame.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that after the blade enters the cage 100, its petiole part inevitably needs to be clamped by the cage. Clamping the petiole is very likely to cause damage to the blade, and will also cause a gap in the cage at that place. In order to reduce the pressure damage to the blade, especially the petiole, and to prevent aphids from escaping from the gap, a petiole half-tube 113 is also provided on the frame of this scheme, and the two petiole half-tubes can form a channel for the petiole to pass through after the half cage 110 is matched. It should be noted that, as a preferred embodiment, the petiole half-tube is at one end away from the elastic hinge to facilitate the operation when the blade is covered. In addition, in the actual operation process, the petiole has a difference in thickness, so it is inevitable that there will be a gap when the petiole passes through the channel. In order to make up for the risk of aphids escaping from this gap, a sponge 500 is also provided on the inner side of the petiole half-tube 113. The sponge is relatively soft. When the blade passes through the channel formed by the petiole half-tube, the sponge is coated on the surface of the petiole to eliminate the existing gap.

[0032] In addition, in the above scheme, the following improvement can be made, that is, a circle of pressure relief pad 130 is also arranged on the end surface of the half cage 110. The pressure relief pad is made of foam sponge, which can reduce the pressure damage to the leaves when the leaves are large and need to be clamped. At the same time, the softness and followability of the pressure relief pad can improve the sealing performance when the half cage clamps the leaves, and prevent the possibility of aphids escaping.

[0033] Working principle: When it is necessary to cultivate and observe aphids, first open the buckle, and then flip one of the half cages outward so that the two half cages can be separated from each other. Next, place the leaf on which the aphids need to be cultivated between the two half cages, and adjust the position of the petiole of the leaf so that the petiole enters the petiole half tube. When the above steps are completed, close the two open half cages, and the leaf is placed in the cage body, and the aphids can be cultivated and observed in the cage space. When the cultivation and observation of the aphids are completed, open the cage body again and take out the leaf from the cage body. It should be noted that if the mesh is contaminated during the cultivation of aphids, the mesh can be removed from the frame and replaced with a new mesh.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
