Description

A spore trapping device with slide recovery function Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spore trapping technology, and in particular to a spore trapping device with a slide recovery function. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, the monitoring and control of pests and diseases are crucial. Accurately grasping the dynamics of pest and disease occurrence plays a decisive role in taking timely and effective control measures and reducing crop losses. Spores, as the vectors of many plant pathogens, can directly reflect the potential risk of disease outbreaks in the field through their airborne dispersal. Therefore, capturing and monitoring airborne spores is a key link in pest and disease early warning. Traditional spore capture methods mainly rely on manual operation, such as hanging glass slides coated with adhesive substances like petroleum jelly in the field, periodically collecting them manually, and bringing them back to the laboratory for observation and analysis. This method not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also, due to the limited sampling frequency, makes it difficult to obtain real-time and comprehensive dynamic information on spores. Furthermore, manual operation is easily affected by external environmental factors, leading to large sample errors and affecting the accuracy of monitoring results.

[0003] Most spore traps lack slide recovery capabilities. After spore capture, slides are typically discarded, resulting in resource waste, increased operating costs, and environmental stress due to the disposal of large quantities of waste slides. This is particularly problematic for regions or projects requiring long-term, continuous spore monitoring, where the cost of frequent slide replacements is substantial. Therefore, this paper proposes a spore trap with slide recovery functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spore trapping instrument with a slide recovery function, thereby solving the problem mentioned in the background art that most spore trapping instruments lack this function. After spore capture, the slides are usually discarded, which not only wastes resources and increases operating costs, but also puts pressure on the environment by disposing of large quantities of waste slides. This is especially problematic for regions or projects requiring long-term, continuous spore monitoring, where the cost of frequent slide replacements is significant.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This invention provides a spore trapping device with a slide recovery function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This spore trap with slide recovery function, through the setting of the recovery mechanism, requires the detection box to be opened first, the slide to be placed in the slide placement port on the surface of the placement plate, then the sealing plate to be closed, and the hydraulic rod A on one side of the placement plate to move the slide at the end to the air inlet pipe. After waiting for a period of time, the hydraulic rod A is activated again to move the slide to the underside of the microscope, and the spore distribution on the slide is observed through the microscope.

This spore trap with slide recovery function, through the setting of the protective mechanism, when recovering the slide, the slide first falls from the recovery port into the buffer plate set on the inner wall of the bottom recovery box. Then, the hydraulic rod B on one side is activated. The hydraulic rod B drives the push plate at the end to push the slide on the buffer plate into the slide recovery chamber on one side, so as to avoid the slide being damaged by collision due to direct falling during the recovery process.
