Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temporary insect storage technology, specifically a multi-layer temporary insect collection and storage cage. Background Technology

[0002] As entomological research deepens and collection techniques advance, the technology of temporary insect collection cages will continue to improve and be perfected. In the future, these cages may employ more advanced materials and manufacturing processes to enhance their durability and lifespan. However, traditional insect collection cages often feature a fixed layer height design, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the space according to the number of insects. This prevents them from maximizing storage space to accommodate insects of different sizes and collection needs. Furthermore, in cages with a fixed height, insects may die due to overcrowding, leading to a reduced survival rate of the test insects. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layer temporary storage cage for insect collection, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a multi-layer temporary storage cage for insect collection, including a lower cage layer 1, on which a double-layer adjustment mechanism 2 is provided. The double-layer adjustment mechanism 2 includes a limiting plate 21 and a U-shaped connecting frame 22 fixedly connected to the back of the lower cage layer 1. A sliding rod 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 21, and a connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 23. An upper cage layer 25 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 24. A hydraulic telescopic column 26 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped connecting frame 22. The hydraulic telescopic column 26 is electrically connected to an external power source and controlled by an external program. A transmission inclined block 27 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic telescopic column 26. By setting up the double-layer adjustment mechanism 2, the height can be adjusted to maximize the use of storage space and adapt to the collection needs of different sizes and quantities. By switching between double-layer and single-layer heights, sufficient activity space is ensured for insects, reducing stacking and improving the survival rate of test insects. Furthermore, it can be stored away when not in use, saving more space.

[0026] The lower cage layer 1 has two cage door panels 3 on its front side. Each cage door panel 3 has a handle 4 fixedly connected to its front side. A quick-opening and closing mechanism 5 is provided between the two cage door panels 3. By setting up the quick-opening and closing mechanism 5, the problem of delays caused by the slow opening and closing of traditional door panels in emergency situations, such as when insects need to be quickly transferred or handled, is solved. The quick and easy opening and closing ensures the normal use of the storage cage.

[0027] The quick opening and closing mechanism 5 includes a buckle sleeve 51 fixedly connected to the front of the left cage door panel 3 and an L-shaped connecting sleeve 52 fixedly connected to the front of the right cage door panel 3. A rotating rod 53 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped connecting sleeve 52. A buckle locking strip 54 and a toggle plate 55 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 53 respectively.

[0028] A support column 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower cage layer 1, and a base plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 6.

[0029] The inner walls of the lower cage layer 1 and the upper cage layer 25 are slidably connected. Small ventilation holes are provided on the surfaces of both the lower cage layer 1 and the upper cage layer 25 to allow the insects to breathe. The sliding rod 23 and the transmission inclined block 27 are compatible with each other.

[0030] A buffer pad made of nylon is provided between the rotating rod 53 and the L-shaped connecting sleeve 52. This buffer effectively cushions 53, preventing it from rotating on its own and ensuring that it can only rotate under manual operation, thus guaranteeing the safety of the locking mechanism. The snap-locking strip 54 and the snap-lock sleeve 51 are compatible.

[0031] There are four support columns 6, which are arranged in a rectangular array at the bottom edge of the lower cage layer 1. The design of multiple support columns 6 ensures the stability of the entire device.

[0032] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, activate the hydraulic telescopic column 26, causing it to drive the transmission inclined block 27 at the output end to move forward in a straight line. As the transmission inclined block 27 moves forward, it presses the sliding rod 23, causing the sliding rod 23 to move upward in a straight line within the inner wall of the limiting plate 21. This allows the sliding rod 23 to drive the upper cage layer 25 upward within the inner wall of the lower cage layer 1 via the connecting plate 24, thus adjusting the height of the entire cage to provide multiple layers of space. (Conversely, by retracting the transmission inclined block 27 via the hydraulic telescopic column 26, a rapid descent can be achieved.) Next, grasp the dial 55 and rotate it clockwise. As the dial 55 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 53 to rotate within the inner wall of the L-shaped connecting sleeve 52, simultaneously driving the locking strip 54 to rotate and disengage from the inner wall of the locking sleeve 51, thereby quickly releasing the locking sleeve and rapidly opening the two cage door panels 3. Next, open the cage door panel 3 using the two handles 4 and place the insects inside the cage. Then, immediately close both cage door panels 3. Finally, reverse the direction by turning the dial 55 counterclockwise, which will allow the locking strip 54 to quickly insert into the locking sleeve 51, thereby quickly locking the cage door panel 3.
