[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of 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. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the portable mayfly organism observation and collection device includes a collection tube 1, a mounting plate 104, and a cover tube 2. The opening of the collection tube 1 faces upward and is used to capture and collect mayfly organisms. The opening of the cover tube 2 faces downward and is used to cover the opening of the collection tube 1 to seal it. The cover tube 2 needs to be stably placed on the collection tube 1 by gravity. An annular interlayer 101 with an upward opening is provided inside the side wall of the collection tube 1, and the cover tube 2 is slidably placed in the annular interlayer 101. Several guide ropes 103 are provided around the axis of the collection tube 1 at the bottom of the interlayer 101. A guide hole 201 is provided inside the side wall of the cover tube 2 along its axial direction, so that the guide ropes 103 pass through the guide hole 201, and the cover tube 2 slides along the guide ropes 103 and finally enters the annular interlayer 101, so as to achieve precise guidance of the cover tube 2.

[0027] Since the cover cylinder 2 needs to slide along the guide rope 103, several guide ropes 103 need to be kept parallel. Therefore, an installation plate 104 is provided. The ends of several guide ropes 103 away from the collection cylinder 1 are respectively connected to one edge of the installation plate 104. When the installation plate 104 is pulled straight along the axial direction of the collection cylinder 1, the guide ropes 103 are kept parallel to each other, and the cover cylinder 2 is located between the collection cylinder 1 and the installation plate 104, sliding along the guide rope 103.

[0028] Furthermore, when the cover tube 2 slides, the position of the collecting tube 1 needs to remain unchanged. The mounting plate 104 is connected to the collecting tube 1 via the guide rope 103. Therefore, it is sufficient to keep the position of the mounting plate 104 unchanged. A hollow sleeve 105 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 104 away from the collecting tube 1. By holding and keeping one end of the sleeve 105 stationary, the collecting tube 1 can maintain its position under the action of gravity. Since the collecting tube 1 needs to ensure that its opening is always facing upwards when collecting, one end of the sleeve 105 is set at the center of the mounting plate 104.

[0029] Since it is necessary to control the cover tube 2 to move along the guide rope 103, a traction rope 202 is provided on the outer side of the end of the cover tube 2 away from its opening. The movement of the cover tube 2 can be controlled by pulling the traction rope 202. In addition, the collection tube 1 must always keep its opening facing upwards, so the traction rope 202 is also set at the center of one end of the cover tube 2.

[0030] Since the cover cylinder 2 is located between the collection cylinder 1 and the mounting plate 104, and the sleeve 105 and the traction rope 202 are both located in the center, their positions overlap. Therefore, for better operation, a sliding hole is made through the mounting plate 104, and one end of the sleeve 105 is connected to the sliding hole. One end of the traction rope 202 passes through the sliding hole and the sleeve 105, and the other end passes out of the sleeve 105, making it easy to hold and operate.

[0031] When collecting in water, since the cover cylinder 2 moves with its opening facing downwards, when it is placed in the water from the air, there is air inside. Due to the buoyancy, the cover cylinder 2 is difficult to move downwards for the collection step. Therefore, the end of the cover cylinder 2 away from its opening is provided with several vent holes so that the air can be discharged.

[0032] When the cover tube 2 needs to be opened, pull the traction rope 202 extending from one end of the sleeve 105 to slide it along the sleeve 105, causing the cover tube 2 to move along the interlayer 101 and expose the collection tube 1 for collection; after collection is completed, when the cover tube 2 needs to be closed, release the traction rope 202 to allow the cover tube 2 to fall freely under the action of gravity and move along the guide rope 103 and the interlayer 101 until the bottom of the inner side of the cover tube 2 fits against the opening of the collection tube 1;

[0033] To enhance the tightness of the connection between the cover cylinder 2 and the collection cylinder 1, magnetic strips are provided at the bottom of the interlayer 101 of the collection cylinder 1 and the edge of the opening of the cover cylinder 2. When the bottom of the inner side of the cover cylinder 2 is in contact with the opening of the collection cylinder 1, the bottom of the interlayer 101 of the collection cylinder 1 and the edge of the opening of the cover cylinder 2 are in contact more tightly under the action of magnetic force.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment, it is necessary to keep the water flowing inside the collection tube 1 to ensure that the mayfly organisms maintain their natural living environment during the collection process and improve the sample collection rate. Therefore, several through side holes 102 are provided on the side wall of the collection tube 1 so that the water can pass horizontally through the inside of the collection tube 1. When the cover tube 2 falls into the collection tube 1 by gravity, the cover tube 2 blocks the side holes 102, thus completing the collection of mayfly organisms.

[0035] When it is necessary to observe through the side hole 102 provided on the side wall of the collection cylinder 1, the cover cylinder 2 is preferably made of transparent material so that it is easy to observe through the cover cylinder 2 and the side hole 102.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment, the end of the sleeve 105 away from the mounting plate 104 needs to be easy to hold, and a certain amount of waiting time is required during the collection of mayflies. Therefore, one end of the traction rope 202 needs to be easy to fix. Thus, a handle 106 is provided at the end of the sleeve 105 away from the mounting plate 104 for holding. A limiting post 107 is provided on the side of the handle 106 near the mounting plate 104, and a limiting ring 203 is provided at the end of the traction rope 202 away from the cover tube 2. The traction rope 202 can be pulled out from one end of the sleeve 105, and the limiting ring 203 can be sleeved on the limiting post 107 for fixation.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] This portable mayfly biological observation and collection device, in its initial operation, first separates the cover tube 2 from the collection tube 1, pulls the traction rope 202 out from one end of the sleeve 105, and fixes the limiting ring 203 on the limiting post 107. Then, the separated cover tube 2 and collection tube 1 are placed into the water and sink under the action of gravity for collection. Since the outer wall of the collection tube 1 has a side hole 102, the mayflies flow into the collection tube 1. At this time, the limiting ring 203 is removed from the limiting post 107. At this time, the cover tube 2 is no longer under tension, and then the cover tube 2 falls freely under the action of gravity and moves along the guide rope 103 and the interlayer 101 until the bottom of the inner side of the cover tube 2 is attached to the opening of the collection tube 1. The bottom of the interlayer 101 of the collection tube 1 and the edge of the opening of the cover tube 2 are attached under the action of magnetic force, completing the sealing of the collection tube 1 and collecting the mayflies. At this time, since the sleeve 105 is connected to the collection cylinder 1 through the mounting plate 104 and the guide rope 103, the sleeve 105 is pulled to lift the collection cylinder 1 out of the water, and finally the observation is made through the side hole 102.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
