For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides an embodiment of a combined soil-animal separator, comprising a housing 1, a cylindrical focusing hood 2 inside the housing 1, a screw 3 mounted on the upper end of the cylindrical focusing hood 2, a high-temperature energy-saving lamp 4 inside the cylindrical focusing hood 2, a heating wire 5 below the high-temperature energy-saving lamp 4, a fixing platform 6 between the inner walls of the housing 1, a collection platform 7 below the fixing platform 6, a sample holder 8 below the heating wire 5, a sieve 9 at the bottom of the sample holder 8, a separation funnel 10 below the sieve 9, a plastic collection bottle 11 at the bottom of the separation funnel 10, a fixing bolt 12 on one side of the collection platform 7, and an adjusting nut 13 and a rubber anti-slip sleeve 14 at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0026] In this invention, the cylindrical focusing cover 2 is detachably installed inside the housing 1 via a screw 3. There are several cylindrical focusing covers 2, and their interiors are polished and made of stainless steel, effectively reflecting light and enhancing the concentration of the light source, thereby improving separation efficiency. Furthermore, the detachable design of the cylindrical focusing cover 2 facilitates cleaning and replacement, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0027] Furthermore, the high-temperature resistant energy-saving lamp 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the cylindrical focusing cover 2. There are several high-temperature resistant energy-saving lamps 4. The heating wire 5 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical focusing cover 2, with a power supply line installed along the wall. Controlled by a controller, the temperature of the heating wire 5 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to the living environment of different soil animals, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of separation. The detachable design of the heating wire 5 also facilitates maintenance and replacement, ensuring the stability and reliability of the separator during long-term use.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixing platform 6 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the collection platform 7 is movably connected to the inside of the housing 1 via fixing bolts 12. The fixing bolts 12 are symmetrically installed along the collection platform 7 and threaded onto the outer wall of the housing 1, with five sets of bolt holes spaced 1 cm apart. This allows for easy adjustment of the position of the collection platform 7 according to different experimental needs, thereby achieving effective classification and collection of the separated soil animals. This design not only improves the flexibility of the experiment but also ensures the accuracy of the separation process. In addition, the surface of the collection platform 7 is specially treated to have good anti-slip properties, preventing soil animals from slipping during collection and ensuring the accuracy of experimental data.

[0029] Furthermore, the separation funnel 10 is detachably installed on the upper end of the fixed platform 6, and the separation funnel 10 is connected through the fixed platform 6. The upper end of the separation funnel 10 is movably connected to the sample holder 8, and the sieve plate 9 is detachably installed on the bottom of the sample holder 8. There are several sample holders 8. The plastic collection bottle 11 is placed on the upper surface of the collection platform 7. The separation funnel 10 is a long conical funnel with a polished inner surface. The sample holder 8 is equipped with multiple sizes of sieve plates such as 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm, which can effectively screen according to the particle size of the soil sample.

[0030] The specific, elongated conical design allows for effective separation of soil samples of different particle sizes as they pass through the sieve, while the polished inner surface reduces frictional resistance during separation, improving efficiency. The sample holder 8 is equipped with various types of mesh sieves, enabling the separator to accommodate soil samples of different particle sizes and meet diverse experimental needs. The use of the plastic collection bottle 11 not only facilitates the collection of soil animals but also provides more intuitive and convenient observation and data recording due to its transparent material. Through this combined design, the soil animal separator achieves rapid and accurate separation of soil animals, significantly improving experimental efficiency and data reliability.

[0031] Furthermore, the adjusting nut 13 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1, and there are several adjusting nuts 13. The rubber anti-slip sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting nut 13. By adjusting the height of the adjusting nut 13, the height of the housing 1 can be finely adjusted, thereby optimizing the separation effect of soil samples. The use of the rubber anti-slip sleeve 14 ensures the stability and anti-slip properties of the adjusting nut 13 during operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the housing 1.

[0032] Working principle and usage process:

[0033] First, the soil sample to be separated is placed in the sample holder 8, and the high-temperature energy-saving lamp 4 is turned on. The light emitted by the lamp is focused by the cylindrical condenser 2 to provide uniform illumination for the soil sample. At the same time, the heating wire 5 is energized and heated, and the temperature is adjusted by the controller to promote the activity of animals in the soil, facilitating separation.

[0034] When the animals in the soil sample begin to move, they gradually move towards the lower end of the separation funnel 10 through the pores of the sieve 9. Because the inner wall of the separation funnel 10 is exposed, the animals are attracted to the light during their movement, thus moving along the inner wall of the funnel towards the light source and eventually falling into the plastic collection bottle 11. The plastic collection bottle 11 can be easily removed from the collection platform 7 to collect the separated soil animals.

[0035] After separation, the heating wire 5 and the high-temperature energy-saving lamp 4 can be turned off, and the separation funnel 10 and sample holder 8 can be removed for cleaning and maintenance, preparing for the next use. This combined soil animal separator can efficiently and accurately separate animals from the soil, providing important data for ecological research and soil quality analysis.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
