[0002] Fruit flies, whose English name is fruit fly, are used as a model for studying many biological problems because they have only four pairs of chromosomes, with a clear genetic background, simple experimental operations, are easy to raise and have a short breeding cycle. They are a very active model organism. The microbial flora in the fruit fly intestine precisely regulates the physiological functions of organs such as the intestine and ultimately determines the individual aging and death of fruit flies. Since fruit flies and humans are extremely similar in the way of immune signal regulation, it can be said that fruit flies have made great contributions to our understanding of the immune regulation mechanism of humans.
[0003] Fruit flies are generally raised in plastic fruit fly tubes with a 2.5 cm diameter. To avoid overcrowding and insufficient nutrition in the fruit fly tubes, the fruit flies need to be transferred to a new tube after a period of time.

The long-term tube changing is likely to cause fatigue to the operator, and at the same time cause some fruit flies to escape, which will reduce the efficiency of fruit fly tube changing and cause certain pollution to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fruit fly breeding tube changing device that can optimize the tube changing operation and reduce the risk of fruit fly escape during the transfer of fruit flies.
