Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fully automatic sweepers, specifically relating to a puncture probe for testing the skin of locusts. Background Technology

[0002] The ovipositor of locusts, which grow through molting, gradually hardens as the locusts grow to meet their reproductive needs. During this process, a method is needed to quantify the daily changes in the hardness of the locust ovipositor and compare the differences in ovipositor hardness between wild and genetically modified locusts at the same time period to determine the effectiveness of the target gene in the insect's development.

[0003] Currently, existing locust skin testing devices often consist of a tension gauge and a needle puncture device. When conducting tests, they are limited by the experience of the tester and are easily subject to human interference, which leads to messy and unreliable data.

[0004] Therefore, the existing locust skin testing devices are often composed of a tension gauge and a needle, which are easily affected by human interference during testing, resulting in messy data and low reliability. A puncture probe for locust skin testing can be designed, which uses an electric push rod to move the puncture probe downward, applies pressure to make it pass through the sample, and records the maximum force value to obtain the specific hardness value of the sample. Utility Model Content

The probe can record the force value it senses, and calculate the epidermal hardness of the locust by the maximum force value. The electric push rod can apply force precisely and slowly and evenly, and is not easily affected by external human factors, so as to obtain more accurate data. The sample locust is fixed on the detection platform.

[0008] Preferably, the test platform is fixedly connected to four support columns at the bottom, and the bottom of the two opposing support columns is fixedly connected to mounting bases.

[0009] Preferably, two opposite mounting bases are provided with U-shaped fixing grooves that pass through the mounting bases, and anchors are inserted into the U-shaped fixing grooves.

[0010] As a preferred option, the testing platform has a No. 1 storage slot, which contains a sample box, and the sample box contains a No. 2 storage slot.

[0011] As a preferred option, a protective cover is inserted into the second storage slot, and a limiting carrier is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment: a puncture probe for testing the skin of locusts includes a test platform 1 and a puncture probe; it also includes a connecting sleeve 2, a lifting column 3, and an electric push rod 4. The puncture probe is arranged above the test platform 1. The puncture probe is composed of a probe 5 and a connecting rod 6. The top of the probe 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6, and the connecting sleeve 2 is threadedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 6. A lifting column 3 with a lifting groove on its surface is arranged on the rear side of the test platform 1. A lifting block is movably connected in the lifting groove. The lifting block is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting sleeve 2. An electric push rod 4 is installed at the top of the lifting column 3. The output end of the electric push rod 4 passes through the lifting column 3. The descending column 3 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 7. By screwing the puncture probe, which is composed of probe 5 and connecting rod 6, onto the connecting rod 6 fixedly connected to the front end of the lifting platform 7, the electric push rod 4 can change the position of the lifting platform 7 in the lifting groove by extending its output end, so that the probe 5 moves downward and pierces into the epidermis of the sample locust. The probe 5 can record the force value it senses and calculate the epidermal hardness of the locust by the maximum force value. The electric push rod 4 can apply force precisely and slowly and evenly, and is not easily affected by external human factors, so as to obtain more accurate data. The sample locust is fixed on the detection platform.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, four support columns 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the test platform 1. The bottom ends of two support columns 11 that are opposite each other are fixedly connected to mounting bases 12. The mounting bases 12 and support columns 11 can increase the weight of the test platform 1 and increase the stability of the test platform 1. The two mounting bases 12 that are opposite each other on the left and right are provided with U-shaped fixing grooves 13 that pass through the mounting bases 12. Anchors are inserted into the U-shaped fixing grooves 13. By passing the bolts, which serve as anchors, through the U-shaped fixing grooves 13, the test platform 1 can be fixed on the work table, so as to avoid the test platform 1 from shifting due to the force applied during testing.

[0026] Please see Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, the test platform 1 has a first storage slot 14, in which a sample box 15 is placed. The sample box 15 has a second storage slot 16. The sample is placed inside the sample box 15. The detachable design of the sample box 15 allows the operator to adjust the sample box 15 to accommodate different sized second storage slots 16 according to the size of the sample. A protective cover 17 is inserted into the second storage slot 16. A limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 17. The protective cover 17 can restrict and limit the sample in the second storage slot 16 from above. The top of the slide 18 has a probe hole 19 that penetrates through the limiting slide 18. The top of the limiting slide 18 has six ventilation holes 20. The probe 5 is inserted through the probe hole 19 and pierces the locust sample inside the protective cover 17. The ventilation holes 20 can prevent the locust sample from losing its life due to the sealing of the protective cover 17 and the second storage slot 16. The first storage slot 14 has an insertion hole 21. The bottom of the protective cover 17 is fixedly connected to a plug 22 that matches the insertion hole 21. By inserting the plug 22 into the insertion hole 21, the protective cover 17 can be fixed in the first storage slot 14.

[0027] When working, the staff first uses tools such as tweezers to remove the locust, then selects the appropriate protective cover 17 of the sample box 15 according to the size of the locust, and then places the locust in the second storage slot 16. After placing it, the staff does not immediately release the tweezers, but quickly covers the protective cover 17 with the other hand, and then slowly removes the locust. The protective cover 17 can restrict the movement of the locust. Then the staff aligns the insertion post 22 with the insertion hole 21 and fixes the sample box 15 on the test platform 1.

[0028] Take out the cleaned probe 5, align the connecting rod 6 with the connecting sleeve 2 and screw it in. Then start the electric push rod 4. The electric push rod 4 extends its output end, and the output end pushes the lifting platform 7 to move downward along the lifting groove. The probe 5 contacts the skin of the sample locust through the detection hole 19. The electric push rod 4 begins to slowly and evenly apply pressure until the needle penetrates the skin of the locust. Record the maximum force value and convert it into the skin hardness of the locust through calculation.

[0029] Then move probe 5 upwards, open the protective cover 17 slightly, use tweezers to pick out the locust, clean probe 5 and tweezers, and perform hardness testing on the comparison sample according to the above steps. Finally, compare the two sets of data.

[0030] Through the above steps, the puncture probe, composed of probe 5 and connecting rod 6, is screwed onto the connecting rod 6, which is fixedly connected to the front end of the lifting platform 7. The electric push rod 4 can extend its output end to change the position of the lifting platform 7 in the lifting groove, causing probe 5 to move downward and pierce into the epidermis of the sample locust. Probe 5 can record the force value it senses and calculate the hardness of the locust's epidermis through the maximum force value. The electric push rod 4 can apply force precisely and slowly and evenly, and is not easily affected by external human factors, so as to obtain more accurate data. This solves the problem that the existing locust epidermis testing device is easily affected by human interference during testing, resulting in messy data and low reliability.
