Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect storage box technology, and in particular to a portable storage box for surveying and sampling of Coleoptera insects. Background Technology

[0002] Coleoptera are one of the most diverse insect groups on Earth, playing a vital role in ecosystems. Changes in their species and numbers directly reflect the health and stability of ecosystems. For example, in forest ecosystems, outbreaks of certain herbivorous Coleoptera may indicate pest and disease problems in the forest vegetation; while the presence of some predatory Coleoptera helps control pest populations and maintain ecological balance.

[0003] Traditional storage boxes primarily serve only a storage function and lack consideration for other needs during the survey and sampling process. In field surveys, researchers need to perform tasks such as on-site classification, preliminary identification, marking, and recording of captured Coleoptera insects. However, traditional storage tools typically lack reasonable partitioning and functional design, failing to meet these diverse operational needs.

[0004] In view of this, this paper studies and improves upon existing problems, and provides a portable storage box for surveying and sampling of Coleoptera insects. The box has a reasonable structural design, high stability, and is suitable for various applications. The aim of this technology is to solve the problems and improve its practical value. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a portable storage box for collecting and surveying Coleoptera insects. When the cover is opened, the transparent cover prevents insects from escaping and harming staff. As the air pressure inside the water tank increases, water is forced through a connecting pipe into atomizing nozzles and released via spraying. This prevents the storage tank from becoming too dry, and the atomized spraying onto the inner wall of the tank prevents direct water ingress and water accumulation, which could lead to mold growth and affect insect survival.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a portable storage box for surveying and sampling Coleoptera insects, comprising a box body, a cover plate connected to the upper end of the box body, a transparent cover provided inside the box body, a slot fixedly connected to one side of the transparent cover, a rotating shaft movably connected inside the box body, a connecting rod connected inside the rotating shaft, a spring fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod, an air inlet pipe connected to one end of the rotating shaft, a water storage tank fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, and an atomizing spray hole fixedly connected to the lower end of the water storage tank.

[0007] Preferably, the box body is fixedly connected to a partition, and the inside of the box body is divided into multiple sets of placement slots of different sizes by the partition.

[0008] Preferably, the cover plate is movably connected to the upper end of the box, and several sets of through holes are opened on the upper surface of the cover plate. Each set of placement slots has a slot fixedly connected to one side inside.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating shaft is provided on one side of each set of placement slots, one side of the transparent cover is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the upper surface of the transparent cover is provided with a vent hole, and the outer side of the connecting rod is provided with a protrusion, and the connecting rod is engaged with the inside of the rotating shaft through the protrusion.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box. The inside of the air inlet pipe is hollow, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the connecting rod. One end of the air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe A.

[0011] Preferably, the water storage tank is provided inside each set of placement tanks, and the air inlet pipe is connected to the water storage tank through connecting pipe A.

[0012] Preferably, the atomizing nozzle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box and is located at the lower end of the transparent cover. A connecting pipe B is fixedly connected to the outside of the atomizing nozzle, and the atomizing nozzle is connected to the water storage tank through the connecting pipe B.

[0013] This invention has the following beneficial effects: When workers place the collected insects inside the box, rotating the connecting rod causes the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously via the protrusion. Because the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the transparent cover, the rotating shaft rotates and causes the transparent cover to flip synchronously, thus opening the placement slot. After the insects are placed in, the connecting rod automatically rotates back to its original position due to the force of the spring, thus simultaneously causing the rotating shaft to reset, closing the placement slot. Simultaneously, because the cover is movably connected to the box, the transparent cover prevents the insects inside the placement slot from escaping when the cover is opened, preventing them from harming the workers. When the air pressure inside the water tank increases, it forces water into the connecting pipe B, which is then evenly sprayed into the placement slot through atomizing nozzles. This prevents the placement slot from becoming too dry, and the atomized spraying onto the inner wall of the placement slot prevents direct water ingress and water accumulation, thus preventing mold growth that could affect the survival of the insects.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a portable storage box for surveying and sampling Coleoptera insects, comprising a box body 1, a cover plate 2 connected to the upper end of the box body 1, a transparent cover 3 provided inside the box body 1, a slot 4 fixedly connected to one side of the transparent cover 3, a rotating shaft 5 movably connected inside the box body 1, a connecting rod 6 connected inside the rotating shaft 5, a spring 7 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 6, an air inlet pipe 8 connected to one end of the rotating shaft 5, a water storage tank 10 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, and an atomizing nozzle 12 fixedly connected to the lower end of the water storage tank 10.

[0022] In an optional embodiment: a partition is fixedly connected inside the box 1, and the inside of the box 1 is divided into multiple sets of placement slots of different sizes by the partition. The different sized compartments are used to store beetle insects of different sizes and species, thereby preventing insects from dying due to mixed storage.

[0023] In an optional embodiment: the cover plate 2 is movably connected to the upper end of the box 1. Several sets of through holes are opened on the upper surface of the cover plate 2. Each set of placement slots has a slot 4 fixedly connected to one side inside. The slot 4 can be used to insert the interlayer of label paper to record information such as collection time, so as to facilitate the staff's later observation.

[0024] In an optional embodiment: a rotating shaft 5 is provided on one side of each set of placement slots, and a transparent cover 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5 on one side. The upper surface of the transparent cover 3 is provided with ventilation holes, and a protrusion is provided on the outer side of the connecting rod 6. The connecting rod 6 is engaged with the inside of the rotating shaft 5 through the protrusion. When the staff places the collected insects inside the box 1, by rotating the connecting rod 6, the rotating shaft 5 will rotate synchronously through the protrusion. Since the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the transparent cover 3, the rotating shaft 5 will rotate synchronously and flip, thereby opening the placement slot. After the insects are put in, the connecting rod 6 will automatically rotate and reset under the force of the spring 7. At the same time as the connecting rod 6 resets, the rotating shaft 5 will reset synchronously, thereby closing the placement slot. At the same time, since the cover plate 2 is movably connected to the box 1, when the cover plate 2 is opened, the transparent cover 3 will block the insects inside the placement slot, preventing the insects from escaping when the cover plate 2 is opened, and also preventing the insects from causing harm to the staff.

[0025] In an optional embodiment: one end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box 1. The air inlet pipe 8 is hollow inside, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the connecting rod 6. One end of the air inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe A9. When storing insects, if the insects need to be stored under certain humidity conditions, the staff can push the connecting rod 6 to move. When the connecting rod 6 moves, it will enter the air inlet pipe 8. Because the connecting rod 6 matches the inside of the air inlet pipe 8, the air will be compressed and transported to the rear end when the connecting rod 6 enters the air inlet pipe 8.

[0026] In an optional embodiment: a water storage tank 10 is provided inside each set of placement tanks, and an air inlet pipe 8 is connected to the water storage tank 10 through a connecting pipe A9. The compressed air will enter the water storage tank 10 through the connecting pipe A9, thereby increasing the air pressure inside the water storage tank 10.

[0027] In an optional embodiment: the atomizing nozzle 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1, located at the lower end of the transparent cover 3. A connecting pipe B11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the atomizing nozzle 12. The atomizing nozzle 12 is connected to the water storage tank 10 through the connecting pipe B11. When the air pressure inside the water storage tank 10 increases, water will be squeezed into the connecting pipe B11, thereby spraying the water evenly into the placement tank through the atomizing nozzle 12. This prevents the placement tank from becoming too dry, and the atomized spraying onto the inner wall of the placement tank prevents direct water ingress and water accumulation in the placement tank, which could lead to mold growth and affect the survival of insects.

[0028] Working principle and process: When the staff places the collected insects inside the box 1, the connecting rod 6 is rotated. As the connecting rod 6 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate synchronously through the protrusion. Since the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the transparent cover 3, the rotating shaft 5 rotates and drives the transparent cover 3 to flip synchronously, thus opening the placement slot. After the insects are placed in, the connecting rod 6 will automatically rotate and reset under the force of the spring 7. As the connecting rod 6 resets, it drives the rotating shaft 5 to reset synchronously, thus closing the placement slot. At the same time, since the cover plate 2 is movably connected to the box 1, when the cover plate 2 is opened, the transparent cover 3 will block the insects inside the placement slot, preventing the insects from escaping and also preventing the insects from harming the staff. At the same time, a label can be inserted into the slot 4 to record information such as the collection time, which will facilitate the staff's later observation.

[0029] When storing insects, if the insects need to be stored under certain humidity conditions, the staff can move the connecting rod 6. As the connecting rod 6 moves, it enters the air intake pipe 8. Because the connecting rod 6 fits inside the air intake pipe 8, it compresses air and delivers it to the rear end. The compressed air enters the water storage tank 10 through the connecting pipe A9, thereby increasing the air pressure inside the water storage tank 10. When the air pressure inside the water storage tank 10 increases, it compresses water into the connecting pipe B11, thereby spraying the water evenly inside the storage tank through the atomizing nozzle 12. This prevents the storage tank from becoming too dry, and the atomized spraying on the inner wall of the storage tank prevents direct water ingress and water accumulation, which could lead to mold growth and affect the survival of the insects.

[0030] 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.
