Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil animal attraction technology, and in particular to a soil animal attraction device. Background Technology
[0002] When investigating soil species richness, collecting regional soil samples and separating them from the soil using soil microfowl trapping devices in the laboratory is a standard procedure. Most existing trapping devices consist of a support, graduated cylinder, cylindrical tube, wire mesh, funnel, and lighting. Their working principle is to use the soil microfowl's avoidance of dark, humid environments and high temperatures to induce them to crawl out of the soil and fall into a graduated cylinder containing an alcohol solution.
[0003] However, these devices are typically only suitable for processing single soil samples. When dealing with multiple samples, staff not only need to collect the leaked soil individually under each trap, but also inject alcohol solution into each trap individually, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming.

Five cylinders are placed on the wire mesh plate and aligned with the five funnels. A U-shaped horizontal plate is fixedly connected between the middle of two adjacent columns. Two T-shaped tie rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of each slider at intervals. The T-shaped tie rods can pass through the placement frame. Electric push rods are installed on the top left and right sides of the base plate. The telescopic ends of the two electric push rods are respectively in contact with the bottom of the adjacent sliders.
[0007] Optionally, the collection assembly includes a collection frame, push plates, a bidirectional lead screw, and a motor. The collection frame is placed on the placement frame, and five sets of push plates are slidably arranged in the collection frame. The five sets of push plates correspond to five cylinders respectively. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the front side of the collection frame. The bidirectional lead screw passes through each push plate and is threadedly engaged with each of them. A motor is installed on the right side of the collection frame, and the end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the right end of the bidirectional lead screw. Five notches are spaced apart on the rear side of the collection frame, and the positions of the five notches correspond one-to-one with the five cylinders.
[0008] Optionally, the liquid injection assembly includes a mounting base, a sliding rod, a connecting pipe, a nozzle, a water pump, and a hose.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Example: A soil animal trapping device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a base plate 1, a T-shaped frame 2, a lampshade 21, a measuring cup 22, a placement component, a collection component, a cylinder 002, a funnel 001, and a liquid injection component. The T-shaped frame 2 is welded and fixed to the top left and right sides of the base plate 1. The lampshade 21 is slidably arranged between the tops of the two T-shaped frames 2. Multiple measuring cups 22 are placed at intervals on the top of the base plate 1. The placement component is provided on the top of the base plate 1 for placing the funnel 001 and the cylinder 002. The placement component is provided with a collection component for collecting fallen soil. The liquid injection component is provided on the top of the base plate 1 for injecting alcohol solution into the measuring cup 22.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the placement assembly includes columns 31, a placement frame 32, sliders 33, wire mesh plates 34, U-shaped horizontal plates 35, T-shaped tie rods 36, and electric push rods 37. Columns 31 are welded and fixed to the top left and right sides of the base plate 1 at intervals. A placement frame 32 is slidably arranged between the four columns 31. Five funnels 001 are placed on the placement frame 32. Sliding sliders 33 are slidably arranged between adjacent columns 31. A wire mesh plate 34 is welded and fixed between two sliders 33. Five cylinders 002 are placed on the wire mesh plate 34. Aligned with the five funnels 001 one by one, a U-shaped horizontal plate 35 is welded and fixed between the middle of two adjacent columns 31. Two T-shaped tie rods 36 are welded and fixed at intervals at the bottom of each of the two sliders 33. The T-shaped tie rods 36 can pass through the placement frame 32 and support it. Electric push rods 37 are bolted to the top left and right sides of the base plate 1. The telescopic rod ends of the two electric push rods 37 are respectively in contact with the bottom of the adjacent sliders 33. After the sliders 33 are slid upward, the funnels 001 on the placement frame 32 can be removed for easy cleaning and replacement of the funnels 001.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the collection assembly includes a collection frame 41, push plates 42, a bidirectional lead screw 43, and a motor 44. The collection frame 41 is placed on the placement frame 32. Five sets of push plates 42 are slidably arranged in the collection frame 41, and the five sets of push plates 42 correspond to five cylinders 002 respectively. The bidirectional lead screw 43 is rotatably connected to the front side of the collection frame 41. The bidirectional lead screw 43 passes through each push plate 42 and is threadedly engaged with them respectively. Each set of push plates 42 consists of two individual push plates 42. When the bidirectional lead screw 43 rotates, it can push the two push plates 42 in the same set to move closer or further away from each other. The motor 44 is installed on the right side of the collection frame 41 by bolts. The output shaft end of the motor 44 is fixedly connected to the right end of the bidirectional lead screw 43. Five notches 45 are spaced apart on the rear side of the collection frame 41. The positions of the five notches 45 correspond one-to-one with the five cylinders 002.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the liquid injection assembly includes a mounting base 51, a sliding rod 52, a connecting pipe 53, a nozzle 54, a water pump 55, and a hose 56. Two mounting bases 51 are welded and fixed at intervals on the bottom, top, and rear sides. A sliding rod 52 is slidably mounted on each of the two mounting bases 51. A connecting pipe 53 is welded and fixed between the front ends of the two sliding rods 52. Five nozzles 54 are spaced apart at the bottom of the connecting pipe 53. The positions of the five nozzles 54 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the five measuring cups 22. A water pump 55 is bolted to the top and rear side of the base plate 1. A hose 56 is connected to the top of the water pump 55. The end of the hose 56 away from the water pump 55 is connected to the connecting pipe 53. A water tank 57 for storing alcohol solution is bolted to the top and rear side of the base plate 1. The water pump 55 is connected to the water tank 57.
[0022] First, staff collected five soil samples from the area to be investigated and brought them back to the laboratory for further analysis. Then, the five soil samples were poured into five cylinders 002. During this process, soil from the cylinders 002 leaked through the gaps in the wire mesh 34, falling into the collection frame 41 below and being separated by five sets of push plates 42. After all the soil samples were poured into the cylinders 002, the staff started the motor 44, which drove the bidirectional lead screw 43 to rotate. This further caused the two push plates 42 in the same group to slide closer to each other until the two push plates 42 rested against the edges of adjacent notches 45. The staff then pulled the collection frame 41 from the top of the placement rack 32 and removed it. Next, align the five notches 45 on the collection frame 41 with the five cylinders 002, and then tilt the collection frame 41 so that the soil leaking out of the five cylinders 002 can be poured back into the cylinders 002. This step makes soil sample processing simple and quick, eliminating the need for individual processing. While pouring soil samples into the five cylinders 002, the operator holds the connecting tube 53 and slides it forward so that the five nozzles 54 at the bottom of the connecting tube 53 are directly above the five measuring cups 22. Then, the water pump 55 is started, and the water pump 55 quickly draws out the alcohol solution from the water tank 57 and injects it into the connecting tube 53 through the hose 56. Finally, it is evenly sprayed from the five nozzles 54 into the five measuring cups. After injecting an appropriate amount of alcohol solution... Water pump 55 was turned off, thus eliminating the need for staff to inject alcohol solution into the five graduated cylinders separately, saving time and effort. After using collection frame 41, staff temporarily placed it near the device and then simultaneously activated two electric push rods 37. The telescopic rods of the two electric push rods 37 retracted synchronously, causing the unsupported slider 33 to begin moving downwards. Slider 33 moved the wire mesh plate 34 and cylinder 002 downwards together. Since the placement frame 32 was connected to slider 33 via T-shaped tie rod 36, it also slid downwards as slider 33 moved downwards. When placement frame 32 contacted U-shaped horizontal plate 35, U-shaped horizontal plate 35 provided stable support for placement frame 32. At this time, the funnel 001... The end is inserted into the graduated cylinder, and the slider 33 continues to slide downwards until the bottom of the wire mesh plate 34 is tightly fitted with the placement frame 32. At this point, the five funnels 001 are respectively fitted with the bottoms of the five cylinders 002, separated only by a layer of wire mesh. Next, the staff slides the lampshade 21 forward so that the tops of the five cylinders 002 are covered by the lampshade 21. Then, the lamp tubes installed on the inner bottom of the lampshade 21 are turned on. The light emitted by the lamp tubes raises the temperature inside the cylinders 002. Due to the soil animals' tendency to seek darkness, moisture, and avoid high temperatures, they crawl out of the soil and through the wire mesh plate 34 into the funnels 001, eventually falling into the alcohol solution in the graduated cylinder. After a period of time, the staff collects the samples from the five graduated cylinders.The soil microfauna were carefully identified and recorded, thus completing the survey of soil microfauna abundance.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an arc-shaped limiting plate 6. Five arc-shaped limiting plates 6 are welded and fixed at intervals on the front and rear sides of the top of the wire mesh plate 34. Five circular grooves 7 are opened at intervals on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1.
[0024] By setting the arc-shaped limiting plate 6 and the circular groove 7, the arc-shaped limiting plate 6 restricts and positions the five cylinders 002, ensuring that they can be located directly above the five funnels 001 respectively, while the circular groove 7 positions the five measuring cylinders, so that they can be located directly below the five funnels 001 respectively.
