Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of insect attraction experiments, and particularly relates to an insect light attraction experiment box. Background Art

[0002] Insect light attraction, also known as "photoattraction," refers to the phenomenon in which insects are attracted to light sources due to their specific perception and reaction to light. Therefore, based on insects' photorepulsion, various insect-attracting lamps have been developed that use light to attract and subsequently kill insects. However, in practice, different colors and intensities of light have different effects on insect attraction.

[0003] The tip-cutting beetle is a significant trunk-boring pest of pine trees in my country. It primarily feeds on the trunk phloem and tip pith of its host, depriving the tree of water and nutrients, causing leaves to wither and fall, and the tree to die. The beetle spends the vast majority of its life cycle within branches and trunks, remaining highly elusive. In Yunnan, the average annual temperature range of 14-20°C and the average monthly temperature range of 8-23°C are ideal for the growth and development of the tip-cutting beetle. Its widespread reproduction has resulted in widespread damage to Yunnan pine trees, causing severe losses.

[0004] Based on the widespread light attraction of insects and the responses of similar pests in the family of bark beetles to light, it is speculated that the tip-cutting beetle may also respond to specific wavelengths of light. Therefore, to explore the attractiveness of different light colors and intensities on the tip-cutting beetle and to use appropriate attractant lamps to attract and kill the beetle, an experimental device is required to conduct an attraction experiment.

[0005] The current experimental setup used in laboratories is an open, multi-channel setup with no independent partitions. Each channel is equipped with lamps emitting different colors or wavelengths. A pre-counted number of insects is then released. After luring, the number of insects in each channel is counted, and the corresponding ratios are calculated to compare and judge the luring effectiveness. However, because the channels are open and undivided, the lights can interfere with each other, leading to errors in luring. Furthermore, releasing insects in an open space creates randomness in their flight, hindering the final data collection and ultimately resulting in low experimental accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model designs an insect light attraction experimental box, which enables the experiment to be carried out under independent multi-channels to avoid mutual interference between lights, and provides an insect storage cavity for releasing insects, thereby reducing the randomness of insect flight, facilitating the final data calculation and statistics, and improving the accuracy of the experiment.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions: an insect light attraction experimental box, comprising a box body;

[0008] A baffle is arranged inside the box to separate multiple passages, a transparent top cover is installed on the top of the box, and a partition plate is slidably installed inside the top cover along the vertical direction. One end face of the partition plate is tangent to the end of the passage, and the other end face and the inner wall of the box form a closed insect storage cavity. A through hole is opened on one side wall of the insect storage cavity, and a sealing cover is connected to the through hole.

[0009] Preferably, the outer walls at both ends of the box body are hingedly connected to buckle handles, and connecting fasteners are provided on the outer walls at both ends corresponding to the top cover and the box body, and the buckle handles are cooperatively connected with the connecting fasteners.

[0010] Preferably, a slide rail is provided inside the box body to connect with the partition plate, a ball pin hole is provided on the top of the slide rail, and connecting grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the partition plate. The spring and the ball pin are connected in sequence in the connecting groove from the inside to the outside.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber ring is provided on the inner wall of the box at the head end of each passage.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: compared with the prior art, the experimental box has a plurality of independent experimental passages separated in the box body, thereby avoiding mutual interference between lights, installing attracting lights of different colors or wavelengths at the heads of different passages, and providing a transparent top cover on the top of the box body, which constitutes a closed experimental space and is convenient for observing the attracting situation through the top cover, and at the same time, the partition plate provided inside the top cover closes the ends of each passage to avoid premature interference of light on insects, the partition plate and the inner wall of the box form a closed insect storage cavity, and the number of insects counted before the experiment is put in through a through hole opened on one side wall of the insect storage cavity, and then the partition plate is pulled upwards to connect each passage with the insect storage cavity to start the attracting experiment, which can effectively reduce the randomness of insect flight, facilitate the final data calculation and statistics, and improve the accuracy of the experiment.

[0021] 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 the embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] In order to solve the problem that the current insect luring experimental device will cause mixed interference between lights during the experiment, resulting in luring errors, which is not conducive to the final data statistics and leads to low experimental accuracy.

[0024] A light-attracting test chamber for insects is proposed. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a box body 1;

[0025] A baffle 2 is provided in the left half of the box body 1 to separate two independent passages to avoid mutual interference between lights. Attractant lights of different colors or wavelengths are installed at the head ends of the two passages. The baffle 2 is at the same height as the side wall of the box body 1. A top cover 3 made of transparent acrylic material is installed on the top of the box body 1. The top cover 3 is also provided with a plurality of air holes 301 for air exchange for insects. The outer walls at both ends of the box body 1 are hingedly connected with snap handles 7. Connecting fasteners 8 are provided on the outer walls at both ends of the top cover 3 and the box body 1. The snap handles 7 cooperate with the connecting fasteners 8 to connect and disassemble the top cover 3 and the box body 1 quickly.

[0026] A partition plate 4 is installed inside the top cover 3 for sliding in the vertical direction. The left end face of the partition is tangent to the ends of the two passages, and the right end face and the inner wall of the box body 1 form a closed insect storage chamber 5. A through hole is opened on the side wall of the box body 1 of the insect storage chamber 5, and a cover 6 is threadedly connected to the through hole; after unscrewing the threaded cover 6, the number of insects counted before the experiment is put into the through hole, and then the partition plate 4 is pulled upward to make the two passages communicate with the insect storage chamber 5, and the luring experiment begins. It can effectively reduce the randomness of insect flight, facilitate the final data calculation and statistics, and improve the accuracy of the experiment.

[0027] In order to make the partition plate 4 more sealed and shading, and to be able to automatically fix the partition plate 4 after pulling up the partition plate 4, a slide rail 9 is provided inside the box body 1 to connect with the partition plate 4, and a ball pin hole 12 is provided on the top of the slide rail 9, and connecting grooves 401 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the partition plate 4. The spring 11 and the ball pin 10 are connected in sequence from the inside to the outside in the connecting groove 401. When the partition plate 4 is pulled up to start the experiment, the spring 11 is compressed during the pulling process, and the ball pin 10 is inside the connecting groove 401. When the ball pin 10 is pulled up to the ball pin hole 12, the spring 11 rebounds instantly, and the ball pin 10 is connected to the ball pin hole 12, and the partition plate 4 is automatically fixed. Then, the partition plate 4 can be directly pressed down when starting the next experiment.

[0028] In laboratory use, the attractant lamp mostly adopts a lamp tube. In order to facilitate the fixation of the lamp tube, a rubber ring 13 is provided on the inner wall of the box 1 at the head end of each passage. The lamp tube is placed in the rubber ring 13, and the light is tightened and fixed under the elastic contraction of the rubber ring 13, which is convenient for the experiment.

[0029] In this embodiment, the experimental box was used to carry out the Yunnan tip beetle luring experiment, and the light luring experimental data of each band are shown in Table 1 below.

[0033] The data of the lightless attraction experiment in each band are shown in Table 2 below.

[0034] Table 2 Statistics of the lightless attraction experiment of Yunnan stem beetle in various wavelengths

[0035]

[0036] The experimental results show that light is more effective in attracting the Yunnan tip beetle, and the best effect is achieved under violet-blue light with a wavelength of 400-410 nm. This provides verification support for the light-induced killing of the Yunnan tip beetle, facilitating its control. At the same time, this experimental chamber provides a new tool for insect light-attraction experiments, which can reduce random phenomena and improve experimental accuracy.
