Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit fly locomotion technology, specifically to a novel device for analyzing fruit fly locomotion behavior. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit flies, due to their strong adaptability, short lifespan, rapid reproduction, ease of rearing, diverse mutation types, and individuality, have become experimental subjects in biological research. For example, in genetic developmental studies, fruit flies are often used to reproduce and produce a large number of offspring, which are then used to conduct experiments on development and lifespan. They play an important role in research in genetics, neurobiology, and behavioral science. Traditional fruit fly movement monitoring techniques mainly rely on observing the flight and crawling behaviors of fruit flies.

[0003] Currently, traditional fruit fly movement monitoring equipment is often expensive, which limits its widespread application in scientific research and education. Many existing monitoring devices are complex to operate, require professional training, and have poor durability and applicability. There is an urgent need to design a new device for analyzing fruit fly movement behavior to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel device for analyzing the locomotion behavior of fruit flies, thereby addressing the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel device for analyzing the locomotion behavior of fruit flies includes multiple frames and multiple plates, both of which are made of transparent or acrylic sheets. The bottom of each frame has multiple first tenons, and the top of each frame has multiple first mortises corresponding to the first tenons. The first tenons engage with the first mortises. The top and bottom of each frame have corresponding limiting grooves for each plate. Each plate has second tenons on both sides, and each limiting groove has a second mortise on both sides. Two second tenons engage with two second mortises respectively. A monitoring device is installed inside each frame. The top and bottom of each frame have semi-conical grooves, which are combined to form a conical groove. A conical cylinder is positioned between corresponding semi-conical grooves, and a cap engages with one side of the conical cylinder. One of the plates has a through groove, and a blocking plate engages with the through groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting strap is installed on the top of the cap, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the conical tube.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting ring is installed at the end of the conical cylinder with a smaller diameter, and the limiting ring is larger than the end of the conical cylinder with a smaller diameter.

[0009] Furthermore, mounting grooves are provided on the periphery of the inner wall of the frame for installing the monitoring device.

[0010] Furthermore, a conical plate is provided on one side of the plate, and the conical plate corresponds to the semi-conical groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided on the periphery of the through groove, and two slots connected to the slide rail are provided on the top of the plate. Two blocks are provided on both sides of the blocking plate, and the two blocks correspond to the two slots respectively. The blocks slide in cooperation with the slide rail, and a rotating block is installed on the top of the blocking plate.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a novel device for analyzing the locomotion behavior of fruit flies, which has the following advantages:

[0013] The frame and panels allow multiple frames to be assembled using a first tenon and a first mortise, and the panels to be installed on the top or bottom of the frame using a second tenon and a second mortise. This allows multiple frames and panels to be assembled into a fly movement observation and monitoring device.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a novel device for analyzing the locomotion behavior of fruit flies.

[0023] The device includes multiple frames 1 and multiple plates 2, both of which are made of transparent or acrylic sheets. The bottom of each frame 1 has multiple first tenons 3, and the top of each frame 1 has multiple first mortises 4 corresponding to the first tenons 3. The first tenons 3 and first mortises 4 engage with each other. The top and bottom of each frame 1 have corresponding limiting grooves 5 corresponding to the plates 2. Each side of each plate 2 has second tenons 6, and each side of each limiting groove 5 has second mortises 7. Two second tenons 6 engage with two second mortises 7 respectively. A monitoring device is installed inside each frame 1. The top and bottom of each frame 1 have semi-conical grooves 8, which are combined to form a conical groove. A conical cylinder 9 is located between two corresponding semi-conical grooves 8, and a cap 10 engages with one side of the conical cylinder 9. One of the plates 2 has a through groove 11, and a blocking plate 12 engages with the through groove 11.

[0024] Among them, acrylic sheet material provides high transparency, making it easy to observe the behavior of fruit flies, while also having good resistance to chemical corrosion.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, a connecting strap 13 is installed on the top of the cap 10, and one end of the connecting strap 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the conical cylinder 9. The connecting strap 13 connects the conical cylinder 9 and the cap 10, allowing the cap 10 to be removed from one end of the conical cylinder 9 and hung up to prevent it from being lost.

[0026] Reference Figure 2In this embodiment, a limiting ring 14 is installed at the smaller diameter end of the conical cylinder 9, and the limiting ring 14 is larger than the smaller diameter end of the conical cylinder 9. By setting the limiting ring 14, when the conical cylinder 9 is located between the two semi-conical grooves 8, the limiting ring 14 is located inside the frame 1, thereby limiting and fixing the conical cylinder 9.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, mounting slots 15 are provided on the periphery of the inner wall of the frame 1. The mounting slots 15 are used for installing monitoring devices. Through the provided mounting slots 15, various monitoring devices can be installed to monitor fruit flies inside the frame 1. Different types of devices can be installed and used as needed.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, a conical plate 16 is provided on one side of the plate body 2, and the conical plate 16 corresponds to the semi-conical groove 8. Through the provided conical plate 16, when the plate body 2 is installed into the limiting groove 5, the conical plate 16 enters the semi-conical groove 8 and seals the semi-conical groove 8.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, a slide rail 17 is provided on the periphery of the through groove 11, and two slots 18 connected to the slide rail 17 are provided on the top of the plate 2. A locking block 19 is provided on both sides of the blocking plate 12, with each locking block 19 corresponding to one of the two slots 18. The locking blocks 19 slide in conjunction with the slide rail 17. A rotating block 20 is installed on the top of the blocking plate 12. By using the locking blocks 19, the blocking plate 12 is moved above the through groove 11, so that the two locking blocks 19 correspond to the two slots 18. Then, the blocking plate 12 is moved downwards, allowing the locking blocks 19 to pass through the slots 18 and enter the slide rail 17. Rotating the rotating block 20 causes the blocking plate 12 to rotate, making the blocking plate 12 rotate within the through groove 11. This causes the locking blocks 19 to move within the slide rail 17, resulting in misalignment between the locking blocks 19 and the slots 18, thus fixing the blocking plate 12 within the through groove 11. The operation to remove the blocking plate 12 is similar.

[0030] Working principle: In use, first take out a frame 1 as the base, and install a plate 2 at the bottom of the frame 1 to seal it. The plate 2 is fixed by the snap-fit ​​of the second tenon 6 and the second mortise 7. Then, as needed, install another frame 1 on the base frame 1. The two frames 1 are fixed by the snap-fit ​​of the first tenon 3 and the first mortise 4. The plate 2 can be set between the two frames 1. Open the blocking plate 12 to connect the two frames 1 through the through groove 11. The blocking plate 12 is snapped into the through groove 11 to separate the two frames 1. A conical cylinder 9 can also be set between the two frames 1, so that the conical cylinder 9 is located between the two semi-conical grooves 8. Open the cap 10 to introduce fruit flies into the frame 1 through the conical cylinder 9. After stacking and assembling multiple frames 1, the monitoring device can be installed in the frame 1. Then, the plate 2 is installed on the top of the frame 1 to seal it, completing the assembly of the fruit fly movement observation and monitoring device.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
