Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of environmental biological sample collection, and in particular relates to a device for automatically collecting flying insects at a fixed time. Background Art

[0002] Insects are an important part of terrestrial ecosystems and the largest animal group on Earth. As one of the main organisms in terrestrial animal research, flying insects have the advantages of small size, short life cycle, strong reproductive ability, and easy laboratory breeding. They can obtain experimental results in a shorter time, saving time and improving efficiency. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of large-scale industrial production, the types and concentrations of pollutants in the environment are gradually increasing. When detecting pollutants in the environment, flying insects in the environment are collected as model organisms for biological monitoring.

[0003] Therefore, when monitoring biodiversity and investigating pollution in the environment, we can study the existence of pollutants in the environment in different forms, and most of the toxicity detection model organisms can only be applied to pollutants in the water environment, and cannot comprehensively study the effects of pollutants and their combined effects under various environmental conditions. Flying insects can not only study the toxic effects of substances, but also the toxic mechanism of substances, and the research methods are diverse and have a wide range of applications.

[0004] However, there are problems such as large time errors and waste of manpower and material resources in the process of regular collection. However, manual collection will have problems such as low efficiency and large errors. Currently, few tools are used for detection.

[0005] Ordinary fly traps are often used to collect flying insects outdoors. If one wants to study the content of certain pollutants in the environment at different time periods, one needs to collect flying insects at different time periods separately. This often requires manual replacement of fly traps, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also results in large fluctuations in time due to individual operation.

[0006] In this context, the collection of flying insects needs to be automated and timed to further reduce costs, improve efficiency, ensure the comparability and effectiveness of scientific progress, and promote breakthroughs in major scientific issues. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a device for automatically collecting flying insects at regular intervals provided in an embodiment of the utility model.

[0028] Figure 2 The present invention is a schematic diagram of the structure of a collection chamber in a device for automatically collecting flying insects at a fixed time according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 3 The present invention is a schematic structural diagram of a timing rotating mechanism in a device for automatically collecting flying insects at a timing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a device for automatically collecting flying insects at a fixed time provided by the utility model is used for automatically collecting biological samples, and comprises a flying insect collecting mechanism, a flying insect trapping mechanism and a timing rotating mechanism.

[0031] The flying insect collection mechanism comprises a fly trap 1, which is a cylindrical structure with an open bottom formed by a fly trap net; the fly trap 1 is evenly divided into six collection chambers with open bottoms by the fly trap net, such as Figure 2 As shown, each collection chamber collects independently and is not connected to each other.

[0032] The bottom of the fly trap 1 is connected to a fly-blocking plate 4, which is a fan-shaped structure with a notch, and the notch is communicated with the bottom opening of the collection chamber, so as to provide a passage for the flying insects to take off and enter the collection chamber after feeding.

[0033] The flying insect trapping module comprises a bait basin 10 , which is hung below the fly trapping cage 1 through a wire, and in which bait 11 is placed.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the timing rotation mechanism is arranged below the fly shield 4, and is used to drive the fly shield 4 to rotate in a timing manner, so as to rotate the notch on the fly shield 4 to connect to the bottom opening of different collection chambers. It includes a battery 6, a control circuit board 7 and a motor 8. The shield 4 is fixed together with the battery 6, the control circuit board 7 and the motor 8 by double-sided adhesive. The battery 6 is electrically connected to the motor 8 through the control circuit board 7, and the control circuit board 7 is used to set the control information of the motor 8 (including time and driving angle). The operation of the motor 8 can drive the rotation of the fly shield 4 to achieve the effect of timing collection, so as to analyze the number of flying insects in a certain time period according to demand.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the battery 6 is a lithium battery that is rechargeable and has a stable voltage.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the size and shape of the notch of the fly shield 4 are the same as the bottom of each collection chamber. There are six collection chambers in this embodiment, that is, one collection chamber is 60° fan-shaped, so the notch of the fly shield 4 is also 60°. The control circuit board 7 controls the motor 8 to work once every 4 hours, driving the fly shield to rotate 60°, and then the trapped flying insects will enter the next chamber to be collected.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the collection of flying insects, a retractable telescopic rod 5 is vertically arranged in the center of the fly trap 1; each collection chamber is provided with a flying insect guide mechanism, which is surrounded by a fly trap net to form a structure that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and a flying insect entrance 3 is arranged at the top of the structure. Flying insects enter the collection chamber from the external environment through the flying insect entrance 3.

[0038] The flying insect entrance 3 is connected to the telescopic rod 5, and the flying insect entrance 3 and the flying insect guide mechanism are moved in the collection chamber by the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 5. When it is necessary to collect flying insects, the telescopic rod 5 can be stretched downward, so that the flying insect entrance 3 connected to the telescopic rod 5 is also moved downward out of the fly trap 1, and then the flying insect entrance 3 is aligned with the external centrifuge tube mouth, and the fly trap 1 is shaken, so that the flying insects in each collection chamber fall into the centrifuge tube through the flying insect entrance 3, and the desired flying insects can be obtained.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to increase the firmness of the fly trap 1 and extend its service life, the present embodiment uses a thin and soft supporting wire 2 as a supporting member on the fly trap net of the fly trap 1 to provide a frame structure for the fly trap 1 .

[0040] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0041] Step S1: According to the use requirements, the fly trap 1 is hoisted on the top by iron wire. The corresponding program is input to the control circuit board 7, and the battery 6, the control circuit board 7, and the motor 8 are connected in sequence by wires 9. Figure 3 , and put the bait 11 into the bait basin 10 to lure flying insects.

[0042] Step S2: After the device is powered on, under the control of the regulating circuit board 7, the motor 8 does not work for 0-4 hours, and the notch of the fly shield 4 is aligned with the first collecting chamber in the fly trap 1. At this time, the lured flying insects in the environment within 0-4 hours, after eating part of the bait 11, take off vertically, and enter the flying insect guide mechanism in the collecting chamber corresponding to the notch on the fly shield 4, and enter the first collecting chamber through the flying insect entrance on the top of the flying insect guide mechanism, thereby achieving the purpose of collecting flying insects.

[0043] Step S3: After four hours of collection, under the control of the regulating circuit board 7, the motor 8 works once every four hours and rotates 60 degrees clockwise, driving the connected fly shield 4 to rotate, and the opening of the rotated fly shield is aligned with the second compartment in the fly trap, so that the flying insects collected for 4-8 hours enter the second collection compartment in the above manner;

[0044] Step S4: Repeat step S3, and the remaining four collection chambers will collect flying insects in the environment for 8-12 hours, 12-16 hours, 16-20 hours, and 20-24 hours, respectively.

[0045] Step S5: After 24 hours, the flying insects in the environment are collected, and the flying insects need to be transferred from the fly trap 1 to the centrifuge tube. The bottom of the fly trap 1 is docked with the centrifuge tube, and the telescopic rod 5 is extended downward, and the flying insect entrance 3 moves downward out of the collection chamber of the fly trap 1 along with the telescopic rod 5. The flying insect entrance 3 is aligned with the centrifuge tube mouth, and the fly trap 1 is shaken, and the flying insects will roll into the centrifuge tube through the flying insect entrance 3, thereby obtaining the desired flying insects.

[0046] The utility model can realize automatic collection of flying insects in the wild without attracting attention, thereby realizing automatic and isochronous collection of flying insects, saving manpower operation, and finally laying a foundation for the detection of pollutants in the environment and the toxicity detection of organisms.
