Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit fly breeding technology, specifically a box for raising fruit flies. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit flies are widely used model organisms in biological research. The enclosure is usually made of transparent, high-impact polycarbonate or acrylic sheet. The interior is usually equipped with ventilation mesh, operating port, lighting system, transparent observation window and other structures. The enclosure is mainly used in fruit fly genetics experiments and model organism breeding practice in biology courses.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN205695102U, entitled "A Fruit Fly Hatching and Rearing Device," includes a rotten liquid container, a connector, and a rearing bottle. The connector is located at the top of the rotten liquid container and is a hollow structure with openings at both the top and bottom. The connector is divided into an upper connector and a lower connector, which are fixedly connected. Both the upper and lower connectors are cylindrical structures. The rearing bottle is located at the top of the connector and is fixedly connected to the upper connector. The rearing bottle is segmented. The structure is as follows: the breeding bottle contains fruit fly culture medium; the connecting body is fixedly connected to the decomposition liquid container; a filter screen is installed at the bottom of the connecting body; the inner wall of the top of the upper connecting body has an internal thread; the outer wall of the bottom of the breeding bottle has an external thread; the internal thread and the external thread match; the outer wall of the bottom of the lower connecting body has an external thread; the inner wall of the top of the decomposition liquid container has an external thread; the internal thread and the external thread match; a cap is also installed at the top of the breeding bottle; the cap has several ventilation holes; and holes are provided on the lower outer wall of the breeding bottle.

[0004] While the existing technologies described above can achieve fruit fly rearing, in practical use, the box's performance is not good enough. Usually, all the fruit flies are put into the box at once, which means that the entire fruit fly group needs to be isolated when taking them out or putting them in, thus increasing the complexity of the operation. On the other hand, the ventilation effect inside the box is not good enough. Fruit fly rearing usually produces a certain amount of waste gas, which needs to be discharged from the box through air convection, thus reducing the waste gas discharge efficiency. Therefore, it does not meet the current needs. In response, we propose a box for fruit fly rearing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a box for raising fruit flies, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the box's poor performance and inadequate ventilation inside the box.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a box for raising fruit flies, comprising a base, an incubation box fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base, the front end of the incubation box having an open structure, four slide rails fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper part of the incubation box, the slide rails being equidistantly distributed, and the front end of the slide rails having an open structure, an mounting strip being provided inside the slide rails, the mounting strips sliding inside the slide rails, and one side of the mounting strips extending to the outside of the slide rails, the front ends of both the slide rails and the mounting strips having through holes, the through holes being through-holes, and the through holes on the slide rails and the through holes on the mounting strips corresponding in position, an insertion rod being provided inside the through hole, the lower end of the insertion rod extending to the bottom of the slide rail.

[0007] Preferably, a feeding box is fixedly disposed between the mounting strips, and the feeding box has a mesh structure.

[0008] Preferably, an air inlet chamber is provided at the bottom of the incubator. The air inlet chamber has a hollow structure. An installation cavity is provided inside the incubator outside the air inlet chamber. The installation cavity is connected to the air inlet chamber, and the air inlet chamber is connected to the upper part of the incubator. A drive motor is fixedly installed at the lower end of the air inlet chamber. A fan blade is fixedly installed at the upper end of the output shaft of the drive motor. Five heating wires are fixedly installed at the upper end of the air inlet chamber. The heating wires are evenly distributed.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting cavity is provided with four filter screens, which are equidistantly distributed and correspond to the opening positions of the mounting cavity. Two magnetic strips are fixedly provided on the side of the filter screens near the inner wall of the mounting cavity. The magnetic strips are symmetrically arranged and are magnetically attracted to the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the incubator is provided with an air grid inside the slide rails, and the air grid has a mesh structure.

[0011] Preferably, the upper part of the incubator is equipped with five LED tubes, which are evenly distributed.

[0012] Preferably, two fixed seats are fixedly installed on one side of the upper front end of the incubator, and a door is provided between the fixed seats. One side of the door is rotatably connected to the fixed seats, and an observation window is provided inside the door, which corresponds to the position of the feeding box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model can cultivate fruit flies in batches through a feeding box and a slide rail. When it is necessary to put in juvenile fruit flies, first take out the feeding box containing mature fruit flies from the incubator. At this time, align the mounting strips on both sides of the new feeding box with the opening at the front end of the slide rail and push it into the slide rail so that the mounting strips move towards the inside of the slide rail. At the same time, the feeding box moves together with the mounting strips until the feeding box is moved to the appropriate position. At this time, the through hole on the mounting strip corresponds to the through hole on the slide rail. Then, the operator aligns the insertion rod with the opening of the through hole and inserts it into the through hole to complete the fixing of the feeding box, thereby improving the utilization rate of the incubator.

[0015] (2) This utility model can accelerate the airflow into the chamber by using a drive motor and fan blades. When air exchange is required, the drive motor is turned on, and the output shaft of the drive motor drives the fan blades to rotate. The rotation of the fan blades accelerates the airflow into the air intake chamber. At the same time, before the air enters the air intake chamber, the filter screen filters the impurities in the air. At this time, the clean air enters the incubator through the air intake chamber. Meanwhile, the exhaust gas generated inside the incubator is discharged from the air grid along with the air, thereby improving the air exchange efficiency inside the incubator.

[0016] (3) This utility model allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the filter screen through the mounting cavity and magnetic strip. When assembling or disassembling the filter screen, the operator first pulls the side of the filter screen to detach the magnetic strip on the filter screen from the inner wall of the mounting cavity. At this time, the filter screen is taken out of the mounting cavity and cleaned. Then, the cleaned filter screen is aligned with the opening of the mounting cavity and pushed into the mounting cavity, so that the magnetic strip on the filter screen re-adheres to the inner wall of the mounting cavity, thus completing the assembly and disassembly of the filter screen and improving the flexibility of the assembly and disassembly of the filter screen.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Four slide rails 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper part of the incubator 2. The slide rails 13 are evenly distributed and the front end of the slide rails 13 is an open structure. The slide rails 13 are provided with mounting strips 14 inside. The mounting strips 14 slide inside the slide rails 13 and one side of the mounting strips 14 extends to the outside of the slide rails 13. The front end of the slide rails 13 and the mounting strips 14 are provided with through holes 15. The through holes 15 are through structures and the positions of the through holes 15 on the slide rails 13 and the through holes 15 on the mounting strips 14 correspond. The through holes 15 are provided with insert rods 16 inside. The lower end of the insert rods 16 extends to the bottom of the slide rails 13. The feeding boxes 17 are fixedly installed between the mounting strips 14. The feeding boxes 17 have a mesh structure, which facilitates the fixing of the feeding boxes 17 through the insert rods 16.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 An air inlet chamber 9 is provided at the bottom of the incubator 2. The air inlet chamber 9 has a hollow structure. An installation cavity 7 is provided inside the incubator 2 outside the air inlet chamber 9. The installation cavity 7 is connected to the air inlet chamber 9, and the air inlet chamber 9 is connected to the upper part of the incubator 2. A drive motor 10 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the air inlet chamber 9. A fan blade 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the output shaft of the drive motor 10. Five heating wires 12 are fixedly installed at the upper end of the air inlet chamber 9. The heating wires 12 are evenly distributed to facilitate the fan blades 11 to accelerate the air into the incubator 2.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The installation cavity 7 is equipped with four filter screens 8, which are evenly distributed and correspond to the opening positions of the installation cavity 7.

At this time, the through hole 15 on the mounting strip 14 corresponds to the through hole 15 on the slide rail 13. Then, the operator aligns the insertion rod 16 with the opening of the through hole 15 and inserts it into the through hole 15. When ventilation is required, turn on the drive motor 10, so that the output shaft of the drive motor 10 drives the... The fan blade 11 rotates, accelerating the airflow into the intake chamber 9. Simultaneously, before entering the intake chamber 9, the filter screen 8 filters impurities from the air. The clean air then enters the incubator 2 through the intake chamber 9. Meanwhile, the exhaust gas generated inside the incubator 2 is discharged along with the air from the air grille 6. When removing or installing the filter screen 8, the operator first pulls the side of the filter screen 8, causing the magnetic strip 19 on the filter screen 8 to detach from the inner wall of the mounting cavity 7. The filter screen 8 is then removed from the mounting cavity 7 and cleaned. The cleaned filter screen 8 is then aligned with the opening of the mounting cavity 7 and pushed into the mounting cavity 7, causing the magnetic strip 19 on the filter screen 8 to re-adhere to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 7.
