Specific embodiments
[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] The present utility model provides an insect activity box with a nest body, as Figures 1 - 8As shown in the figure, it includes a box body 1. A clamping joint 12 is installed on the outer side of the bottom of the box body 1. The outer end of the clamping joint 12 is connected to a hose or a snap joint, and then connected to the nest body 5. By installing a nest joint 4, the nest joint 4 is externally connected to the nest body 5, which is convenient for distinguishing the rest and activities of insects. A first anti-escape area 13 is arranged on the inner wall of the top opening of the box body 1. A large cover 2 is installed on the top of the box body 1. A large hole 21 is arranged on the large cover 2. A second anti-escape area 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the large cover 2 near the edge of the large hole 21. A small cover 3 is installed on the large hole 21. The small cover 3 includes an upper plate 31. A lower plate 32 is installed at the bottom of the upper plate 31. A handle 33 is installed on the top of the upper plate 31, which is convenient for opening and placing the small cover 3. Through a series of ingenious designs, the convenience and effect of insect breeding are significantly improved. Its uniqueness lies in being able to flexibly connect nest bodies of different structures, adapting to the breeding needs of various insects, and providing a stable and diverse living environment for insects. At the same time, the double anti-escape areas set on the box body effectively prevent insects from escaping, reduce the management difficulty, and improve the breeding efficiency. The ventilation holes designed on the side wall of the box body ensure good ventilation of the breeding environment, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of insects. The design of the small cover facilitates the breeder to observe and feed the insects, and its structure can closely fit the large hole, further enhancing the anti-escape effect. The insect activity box with a nest body of the present utility model, with its unique design concept and excellent practicality, has brought significant technological progress and practical application value to the field of insect breeding and research.
[0029] In this embodiment, the overall size of the box body 1 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which is convenient for stacking and placing during storage.
[0030] Specifically, ventilation holes 11 are arranged on the side wall of the box body 1 to facilitate ventilation. The size of the ventilation holes 11 is designed to be smaller than the size of the insects.
[0031] Furthermore, the first anti-escape area 13 is a rectangular closed structure, and the second anti-escape area 22 is an annular closed structure. Anti-escape substances are smeared on the surfaces of both the first anti-escape area 13 and the second anti-escape area 22. The anti-escape substances are talcum powder or other organic solvents, resins, adhesives and other coatings, which are used to prevent insects from escaping.
[0032] Furthermore, the upper plate 31, the lower plate 32 and the handle 33 are all made of lightweight transparent materials and are of an integrally formed structure for easy observation. For the sake of easy observation, all other components can also be made of transparent materials.
[0033] Furthermore, the diameter of the lower plate 32 is adapted to the diameter of the large hole 21. The upper plate 31 is a circular structure, and the diameter of the upper plate 31 is larger than the diameter of the large hole 21.
[0034] Furthermore, several nest connectors 4 are installed on the outer surface of the nest body 5. The nest connector 4 is a cylindrical structure for the connection and combination of the nest body 5. A test tube limiting platform 42 is provided on the inner wall at one end of the nest connector 4. The test tube is inserted from this direction, and the test tube limiting platform 42 is used to prevent the test tube from going too deep. An annular groove 41 is provided on the inner wall of the opening of the nest connector 4 near the test tube limiting platform 42. A sealing ring is placed in the annular groove 41. The sealing ring can tightly hold the test tube to adapt to test tubes of the same specification but from different manufacturers and batches. Several nest connection buckles 45 are annularly distributed at the opening at the other end of the nest connector 4. An external connection position 43 is provided on the outer wall of the nest connector 4 near the annular groove 41 for cooperation with other external buckle connectors. A chamfer 44 is provided on the outer wall at the top of the external connection position 43 to facilitate the easy insertion of the external buckle connector.
[0035] Furthermore, the nest body 5 is a polyhedron structure or a cylindrical structure. There are various structures of the nest body 5. Among them, in the six-sided nest body structure, the degree of freedom is the largest and it can be directly connected in a row, a column, or a plane. The nest connector 4 at the bottom is sealed with a sealing connector. Those directly connected are connected with straight connectors. Other nest connectors 4 can insert test tubes or connect to adapters as needed. The adapter can be further connected to a hose to connect to other parts, such as the activity area, the garbage area, the external water feeder...
[0036] When vertically connected in a column, the test tubes in the upper and lower layers can be aligned. If it is unbalanced, a square test tube holder can be used. Or the nest body 5 can be rotated so that the test tubes are not aligned, which is also easier to observe. If it is unbalanced, a circular test tube holder can be used.
[0037] A nest connector 4 can also be inserted into a bracket. Through the outlet of the bracket, it is connected to other parts with a hose, such as other nest bodies 5, the activity area, the garbage area, the external water feeder... Other nest connectors 4 can be processed in the same way as the above combinations.
[0038] For the cylindrical nest body, the combination method between nest bodies is generally only stacking in the vertical direction. For the nest connectors 4 in a circle on the side, since test tubes need to be inserted, generally two nest bodies 5 are not directly connected by the connectors on the side. The nest connector 4 can insert a test tube; if needed, it can also be connected to an adapter to connect to other parts of the nest. Similar to the six-sided nest body, when the nest connector 4 at the bottom is directly placed on the table, it can be directly sealed with a sealing connector. Of course, it can also be directly inserted into the bracket and placed in suspension.
[0039] For the multi-sided nest body, a nest connector 4 on its axis of symmetry can be selected to connect to the bracket and be placed in suspension, and the rest of the nest connectors 4 can all insert test tubes. The outlet on the bracket is connected to the rest of the nest through a hose.
[0040] In practical applications, the nest joints 4 on the upper and lower sides of the six-sided nest and the cylindrical nest are generally not connected to the test tube, but are connected to each other when stacked in the vertical direction. Therefore, the upper and lower sides can be designed as snap-fit joints of different sizes from the side surfaces; the upper joint with a snap-fit is protruding, and the lower joint with a snap-fit is concave. When two identical nests 5 are snapped together, the joint with a snap-fit and the joint with a snap-fit will partially overlap each other, which can ensure that the insects cannot drill out, and have a degree of freedom and can rotate.
[0041] When the insect activity box with nest body of the utility model is used, firstly, a hose or a snap-on connector can be conveniently connected through the card connector 12 on the outer side of the bottom of the box body 1, and then connected to the nest body 5. The outside of the nest body connector 4 is also connected to the nest body 5. This design is convenient for distinguishing between rest and activity of insects, and also provides a flexible and changeable breeding environment.
[0042] The first anti-escape area 13 is set on the inner wall of the top opening of the box body 1, and the second anti-escape area 22 is set on the inner wall of the large cover 2 near the edge of the large hole 21. Both areas are coated with anti-escape substances, such as talcum powder or other organic solvents, resins, adhesives and other coatings, which effectively prevent insects from escaping. The edge of the large cover 2 has a circle of downward convex structure, which is covered on the top opening of the box body 1 when it is covered on the box body 1 to prevent the large cover 2 from sliding. In this design, in order to facilitate removal and covering, it does not need to be covered particularly tightly, so the convex structure is designed to be short and does not need to be too long.
[0043] A small cover 3 is installed on the large hole 21. The small cover 3 is composed of an upper plate 31 and a lower plate 32, both of which are made of light transparent materials to ensure a certain weight and good sealing at the large hole 21. A handle 33 is also installed on the top of the upper plate 31 to facilitate the opening and placement of the small cover 3.
[0044] When it is necessary to observe or feed insects, the breeder can easily open the small cover 3 through the handle 33 and perform necessary operations. After completion, the small cover 3 is closely fitted on the large hole 21 to further enhance the anti-escape effect.
[0045] In addition, ventilation holes 11 are provided on the side walls of the box body 1 to facilitate ventilation of the breeding environment. At the same time, the size of the ventilation holes 11 is designed to be smaller than the size of the insects to prevent the insects from escaping through the ventilation holes.
[0046] The above has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
