[0002] In the field of entomology, insect dissection is a crucial tool for gaining a deeper understanding of insect physiology and function, as well as for conducting fundamental research on pest and disease control. Currently, the dissection and observation of small insects can usually be achieved using precision instruments such as microscopes. However, for large insects such as longhorn beetles and ash beetles, due to their large size and complex internal structures, observation using traditional microscopes presents many inconveniences.
[0003] On the one hand, the internal tissues of large insects have a limited field of view under a microscope, requiring observers to frequently adjust the microscope's position and focus to observe the tissue structures in different parts. This not only reduces work efficiency but may also damage insect samples due to improper handling. On the other hand, fixing the insect body during dissection is also a technical challenge. Large insects have thick body walls, and ordinary fixation methods are insufficient to ensure their stability during dissection, posing significant difficulties for delicate dissection operations. Therefore, developing a device suitable for dissecting large insects, enabling convenient observation of their internal tissues and effective fixation of the insect body, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of entomological research.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an integrated insect dissection device includes a box body 1. The upper surface of the box body 1 is provided with a magnification mechanism 2, a fixing mechanism 3, and a dissection disc 4. The interior of the box body 1 has four limiting grooves 7, and a magnet 6 is fixedly installed inside each limiting groove 7. The bottom surface of the dissection disc 4 is fixedly connected to four limiting rods 5. The dissection disc 4 is placed in the limiting grooves 7 by the four limiting rods 5, and the limiting rods 5 and the dissection disc 4 are fixedly limited by the magnets 6. The magnification mechanism 2 includes a gooseneck tube 201 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the box body 1. A cylinder 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the gooseneck tube 201 away from the box body 1. A first resistance sleeve 203 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 202. The magnifying glass body 204 is rotatably connected inside the first resistance sleeve 203.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some practical applications, specifically, the housing 1 is made of medical-grade stainless steel to ensure its stability and corrosion resistance. The gooseneck tube 201 in the magnification mechanism 2 is made of highly elastic metal, which can be bent at will and maintain its shape, making it easy for users to adjust the position of the magnifying glass entity 204 according to actual needs. The magnifying glass entity 204 uses a high-definition optical lens to provide a clear magnification effect, and the outer peripheral surface of the dissecting tray 4 has a groove for picking up the dissecting tray 4 for sterilization.
[0028] The fixing mechanism 3 includes a rectangular sleeve 303. A third resistance sleeve 305 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rectangular sleeve 303. A strip-shaped sliding plate 304 is slidably connected inside the third resistance sleeve 305. A lead screw 306 is threadedly connected to the end of the strip-shaped sliding plate 304 away from the rectangular sleeve 303. A handle 307 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 306, and a connecting rod 308 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lead screw 306. A rubber tip 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting rod 308. A rotating rod 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rectangular sleeve 303, and a second resistance sleeve 302 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 301. The second resistance sleeve 302 is fixedly installed inside the box body 1. The fixing mechanism 3 is provided in two places, both located on both sides of the dissecting disc 4, in a symmetrical manner.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in some practical applications, the rectangular sleeve 303 of the fixing mechanism 3 is designed as a sleeve structure. The third resistance sleeve 305 installed on its inner wall is made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, such as rubber or special plastic, to provide sufficient friction to stabilize the position of the strip slide 304. When the strip slide 304 slides inside the third resistance sleeve 305, it can be held in any set position by this friction, thereby achieving effective fixation of insects of different sizes. In addition, the sliding end of the strip slide 304 is also machined with a threaded hole that matches the lead screw 306, ensuring that the lead screw 306 can be precisely screwed in and drive the strip slide 304 to move up and down. This structural design not only ensures the stability of the fixation but also achieves the adjustability of the fixation, greatly improving the flexibility and applicability of the device.
[0030] A shelf 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the box body 1. The shelf 8 has a set of storage slots 9 inside. A storage box 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the box body 1. The storage box 10 has two storage slots 11 inside. A drawer 12 is slidably connected inside the box body 1. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to the front of the drawer 12. The shelf 8 is used to place centrifuge tubes of different sizes, which are used to store dissected insect tissue. The size of the centrifuge tube is selected according to the size of the insect tissue. The storage slots 11 are used to store dissecting tools. The drawer 12 is used to hold ice packs to conduct the low temperature upwards, ensuring that the dissection and temporary storage are kept at a low temperature. Four threaded cylinders 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the box body 1. Each threaded cylinder 14 has a support foot 15 threadedly connected inside.
[0031] like Figure 1As shown, in some practical applications, the four threaded cylinders 14 on the bottom surface of the box 1 are evenly distributed to ensure the stability of the device. Each threaded cylinder 14 has threads that match the support feet 15, allowing the support feet 15 to move up and down within the threaded cylinder 14 by rotation. This design allows users to adjust the height of the box 1 according to their needs, adapting to different working environments and user operating habits. The bottom of the support feet 15 is also equipped with anti-slip pads to increase friction with the ground and prevent the device from sliding or tilting during use. Two limiting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the dissecting disc 4 and match the two limiting grooves 7 on the upper surface of the box 1. During installation, simply align the limiting rods 5 with the limiting grooves 7, then gently press down on the dissecting disc 4 to allow the limiting rods 5 to slide completely into the limiting grooves 7 and be fixed by the magnets 6, completing the installation of the dissecting disc 4. This design not only ensures the stability of the dissecting disc 4 but also greatly simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency. When the dissecting disc 4 needs to be disassembled for cleaning or disinfection, simply lift the dissecting disc 4 upwards to disengage the limiting rod 5 from the inside of the limiting groove 7 and the magnetic attraction of the magnet 6. This disassembly method is also simple and quick, and requires no tools, making it very convenient for daily use and maintenance. In addition, the limiting rod 5 is made of stainless steel.
[0032] Working principle: In use, the insect to be dissected is first placed on the dissection tray 4, and then fixed by two fixing mechanisms 3. During fixation, the distance is first adjusted by sliding the strip slide 304 according to the size of the insect. Once the distance is adjusted, the handle 307 is turned to drive the lead screw 306 to rotate, causing the lead screw 306 to slide downwards, simultaneously driving the connecting rod 308 and the rubber tip 309 downwards until the rubber tip 309 touches the surface of the insect, thus fixing the insect. During dissection, the insect can be rinsed with external PBS buffer, and then observed through the magnifying glass 204. When adjusting the position of the magnifying glass 204, it can be bent at any angle through the gooseneck tube 201. Simultaneously, the magnifying glass 204 can rotate inside the first resistance sleeve 203 to adjust its tilt angle. The body 204 allows for comprehensive observation of insects. During dissection, the necessary dissection tools can be stored in the storage slot 11 inside the storage box 10 for easy retrieval. After dissection, the insect tissue can be placed in the placement slot 9 inside the placement rack 8 and stored through centrifuge tubes. To ensure the insect tissue remains at a low temperature, ice packs can be placed inside the drawer 12, and the drawer 12 can be pushed into the box body 1 using the handle 13 to cool the upper surface of the box body 1 and ensure the insect tissue remains at a low temperature. The dissection disc 4 can be disassembled at any time for cleaning or disinfection. During disassembly, simply pull the dissection disc 4 upwards to disengage the limiting rod 5 from the limiting slot 7. The rectangular sleeve 303 can rotate on the top surface of the second resistance sleeve 302 to facilitate adjustment of the position of the fixing mechanism 3. The height of the box body 1 can be adjusted by rotating the support foot 15 inside the threaded cylinder 14.
