Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of stem borer research technology, specifically relating to a simple device for maintaining humidity in overwintering stem borers. Background Technology

[0002] Rice stem borers are a common agricultural pest, mainly belonging to the family Pyralidae in the order Lepidoptera. Common species include the rice stem borer, the Chinese rice stem borer, and the common rice stem borer. Their larvae bore into the stems of crops, damaging internal tissues and hindering the transport of water and nutrients, thus affecting normal crop growth and reducing yield and quality. Rice stem borers overwinter using various methods to continue reproducing and damaging crops in the following spring. Studying the overwintering habits and patterns of rice stem borers can provide support for developing scientific and efficient methods for their control.

[0003] Existing technologies disclose devices related to sugarcane borers, such as patent CN2019209205560, which discloses a sugarcane borer rearing device; patent CN2023223758691, which discloses a bean borer sub-generation rearing device; patent CN2018201705484, which discloses a sugarcane borer male-female pairing and oviposition device; patent CN2018201744756, which discloses a sugarcane borer egg mass preservation device; and patent CN2023201760124, which discloses a sugarcane borer sub-generation rearing device. However, devices for studying the overwintering of sugarcane borers are currently very rare.

[0004] During the overwintering process, although the rice stem borer is in a relatively quiescent diapause state, it still needs to maintain basic physiological metabolism. Appropriate humidity can prevent excessive water loss from the insect's body, maintain normal cell and tissue function, and improve overwintering survival rate. Therefore, the inventors have provided a simple device for maintaining humidity in overwintering rice stem borers, aiming to support research on the overwintering habits and patterns of rice stem borers.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple device for maintaining the humidity of overwintering stem borers, in order to address the current scarcity of related devices for studying stem borer overwintering, and to provide support for the study of stem borer overwintering habits and patterns.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A simple device for maintaining humidity for overwintering stem borers includes:

[0009] A floating plate, wherein the floating plate is provided with evenly spaced insertion slots that penetrate its upper and lower surfaces; a plurality of arc-shaped clamping plates are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the insertion slots, and one side of the arc-shaped clamping plates is fixedly connected to the insertion slots.

[0010] The test tube has its bottom inserted into the insertion slot, and its bottom is flush with the bottom of the insertion slot; the bottom of the test tube is provided with a plurality of communicating holes evenly spaced apart; when the test tube is inserted into the insertion slot, the plurality of arc-shaped clamping plates abut against the outer wall of the test tube, thereby forming a clamping effect on the test tube.

[0011] More specifically, the arc-shaped clamping plates extend from the top to the bottom of the insertion slot, and there are 5-7 of them.

[0012] More specifically, a rubber sleeve is fitted over the middle of the test tube, and the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve is larger than the diameter of the insertion groove.

[0013] More specifically, the floating plate is a foam board; the test tube is made of plastic.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention incorporates a float and test tubes, with optimized shapes and structures for both. The test tubes are stably and securely contained within the slots of the float, providing a suitable humidity environment for overwintering stem borers. This supports research into the overwintering habits and patterns of stem borers and is significant for developing scientific and efficient methods for their control. Furthermore, the entire device is simple in structure, easy to operate, and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model patent will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] See appendix Figure 1-3 A simple device for maintaining humidity for overwintering stem borers, comprising:

[0024] The floating plate 10 is a foam board with evenly spaced insertion slots 11 extending through its top and bottom. Multiple arc-shaped clamping plates 12 are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the insertion slots 11, and one side (inner side) of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insertion slot 11. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 extends from the top of the insertion slot 11 to the bottom of the arc-shaped clamp, and the number of arc-shaped clamping plates 12 is 5.

[0025] Test tube 20 is made of plastic and its bottom is inserted into the insertion groove 11, with its bottom flush with the bottom of the insertion groove 11. Multiple connecting holes 21 are evenly spaced on the bottom of test tube 20. When test tube 20 is inserted into the insertion groove 11, test tube 20 is located in the middle of multiple arc-shaped clamping plates 12. When test tube 20 moves downward, the outside of test tube 20 exerts a squeezing effect on the arc-shaped clamping plates 12, and the outer side of the arc-shaped clamping plates 12 moves towards the inner wall of the insertion groove 11. In this way, multiple arc-shaped clamping plates 12 tightly abut against the outer wall of test tube 20, thereby forming a clamping effect on test tube 20.

[0026] In this embodiment, a rubber sleeve 22 is fitted over the middle of the test tube 20, and the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 22 is larger than the diameter of the insertion groove 11. When the bottom of the test tube 20 is flush with the bottom of the insertion groove 11, the bottom of the rubber sleeve 22 abuts against the top of the float plate 10, which makes it easy for the operator to intuitively judge the relative position between the bottom of the test tube 20 and the bottom of the insertion groove 11.

[0027] In use, overwintering borers are placed in test tube 20, and the top of test tube 20 is sealed with a cotton plug of appropriate size to prevent the borers from escaping. Then, test tube 20 containing borers is inserted into insertion groove 11, with the bottom of rubber sleeve 22 abutting against the top of float plate 10. At this point, the bottom of test tube 20 is flush with the bottom of insertion groove 11. It should be noted that rubber sleeve 22 is elastic; when rubber sleeve 22 is placed on test tube 20, it is tightly bound to test tube 20 and will not move.

[0028] Then, the float 10 is placed in a container filled with clean water. Due to the buoyancy of the float 10, it floats on the water surface. A small amount of water enters the bottom of the test tube 20 through the connecting hole 21. This provides a suitable humidity environment for the overwintering stem borers, which helps them find a suitable place in the test tube 20 to spin cocoons and overwinter. When the temperature and light are suitable, they will pupate and emerge as adults.

[0029] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to implement and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various different choices and variations. The scope of the present invention is intended to be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
