[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a thrips whole insect breeding device, including a culture box for breeding thrips, an LCD screen 1 for setting and monitoring temperature and humidity installed at the top of the culture box, a temperature and humidity control chamber 7 for controlling the temperature and humidity inside the culture box at the bottom of the culture box, a main power cord 2, a fuse seat 3 and a main switch 4 respectively installed on the outer side wall of the culture box, a culture chamber is provided in the inner cavity of the culture box, a sealed door is provided on the culture chamber, a door lock 6 is provided on the surface of the sealed door, and a number of insect breeding bottles for storing thrips are provided in the inner cavity of the culture chamber, and a sealing structure for sealing the bottle mouth is provided at the top of the insect breeding bottle;

[0023] During rearing, thrips are first placed in rearing bottles, and after adding feed, the bottles are sealed using a sealing structure. The sealed door is then opened, and the sealed bottles are placed into a cultivation chamber. The sealed door is then closed. Researchers monitor the temperature and humidity data in the cultivation chamber via an LCD screen 1. The temperature and humidity control chamber 7 is then activated via a main switch 4, allowing for precise adjustment of the temperature and humidity within the cultivation chamber. This method achieves precise temperature and humidity control during thrips rearing, preventing thrips mortality due to temperature and humidity issues, improving the airtightness of the rearing containers, and preventing thrips escape during rearing. This provides convenience for conducting scientific research on thrips.

[0024] This embodiment also includes a computer controller low-voltage board mounted on the top panel of the incubator. The computer controller low-voltage board includes indicator lights and operation buttons. A temperature sensor is installed inside the incubator to sense the temperature inside the incubator.

[0025] This example also includes an incubator equipped with light tubes to provide simulated sunlight.

[0026] This embodiment also includes a temperature and humidity control chamber equipped with a compressor, condenser, cooling fan, evaporator, anti-condensation shielding and diversion plate, electric heating tube and two circulating fans to supply heat or cooling to the incubation chamber. The bottom chamber is connected to the inlet and outlet of the ventilation duct on the left and right sides to control the humidity of the incubation chamber. The temperature control range of the incubator is 0-65℃ and the humidity control range is 50-95%RH.

[0027] This example also includes an insect rearing bottle with a capacity of 2.65L, a diameter of 135mm, and a height of 185mm.

[0028] The sealing structure includes a paper towel 11 covering the top of the insect rearing bottle opening, with gauze 12 covering the top of the paper towel 11. The paper towel 11 and gauze 12 are taut with the insect rearing bottle by a rubber band 13. The paper towel 11 covers the bottle opening and has a certain moisture absorption and breathability, allowing for the initial absorption of moisture from the air entering the insect rearing bottle. The gauze 12 covers the paper towel 11, which, together with the paper towel 11, seals the opening of the insect rearing bottle, improving the sealing effect and preventing thrips from escaping through holes caused by moisture in the paper towel 11. The rubber band 13 secures the paper towel 11 and gauze 12, preventing them from separating from the opening of the insect rearing bottle.

[0029] The bottom of the inner cavity of the insect rearing bottle is lined with vermiculite 8, and the top of the vermiculite 8 is covered with filter paper. The top of the filter paper is covered with green beans 10, which are used as feed. The insect rearing bottle is transparent. The vermiculite 8 increases the drainage and air permeability of the bottom of the insect rearing bottle. The filter paper filters out the residue in the feed and blocks the vermiculite 8, preventing the feed from contaminating the vermiculite 8. Then, the green beans 10 are placed on the filter paper for the thrips to eat. The transparent design of the insect rearing bottle allows researchers to observe the condition of the thrips from the outside of the insect rearing bottle without opening it. The thickness of the vermiculite 8 is set to 30mm.

[0030] The surface of the sealed door has a slot, and the inner cavity of the slot is equipped with a viewing window 5 for observing the thrips in the culture bottle. With the setting of the viewing window 5, researchers can observe the state of the thrips in the culture bottle from outside the incubator through the viewing window 5 on the sealed door, without having to open the sealed door to take out the culture bottle, thus reducing the impact of opening the sealed door for observation on the temperature and humidity in the culture room.

[0031] It also includes a suction device for collecting thrips. The suction device includes an air pump 14 and a hose 15 connected to the air pump 14. The other end of the hose 15 is provided with a centrifuge tube 17. The surface of the centrifuge tube 17 has a connection hole for connecting to the hose 15. The connection between the centrifuge tube 17 and the hose 15 is covered with gauze 16. During collection, the air pump 14 is started to pump air through the hose 15 to the centrifuge tube 17. The centrifuge tube 17 uses suction to extract the thrips. The gauze 16 is used to block the centrifuge tube 17 from the hose 15, preventing the thrips from being drawn into the air pump 14 by the hose 15. The air pump 14 is a rechargeable air pump with a working air pressure of 4.5 kPa and an airflow rate of 300 L / min.

[0032] It also includes a test cup for experimenting on thrips. The test cup is transparent and contains a substance called "Bean Bean 2-18" that has been soaked in a reagent. Thrips to be tested can be placed in the test cup, and then the reagent-soaked "Bean Bean 2-18" can be placed in the test cup. The thrips react when they eat the "Bean Bean 2-18". The transparent design of the test cup makes it easy for researchers to observe the state of the thrips after they have eaten the "Bean Bean 2-18".

[0033] The raw material testing cup includes a cup body and a cup lid 20 located at the top of the cup body. The top of the cup lid 20 has a vent hole. A gauze cloth 19 is placed between the cup lid 20 and the cup body. The cup lid 20 can seal the cup body. The vent hole can maintain the breathability of the raw material testing cup while sealing it. The gauze cloth 19 can cover the mouth of the raw material testing cup to prevent small thrips from escaping through the vent hole. The raw material testing cup provides a good sealing effect while maintaining breathability.

[0034] This embodiment also includes a test cup with a diameter of 72mm, a height of 52mm, and a volume of 0.21L.

[0035] This embodiment also includes gauze 12, gauze 216 and gauze 319, all of which are set to 120 mesh.

[0036] In practical use:

[0037] When raising thrips: Set the incubator to a temperature of 25℃, a humidity of 50%RH, and a light intensity of 5000LUX. Automatically save the parameters and run the original program continuously after powering on. Wash the 10 beans and place them on filter paper to absorb excess water. After absorbing the excess water, wipe off any remaining moisture with paper towel 11, ensuring the surface of the 10 beans is dry. Place them on filter paper for later use. Pour a 30mm thick layer of vermiculite 8 into the bottom of the rearing bottle, and then place square pieces of filter paper on top of the vermiculite 8. Place 2-3 10 beans in the rearing bottle. Transfer the thrips into the rearing bottle. After completion, cover the bottle opening with paper towel 11, then cover the paper towel 11 with gauze 12, and seal it with rubber band 13 to prevent the thrips nymphs from escaping.

[0038] When collecting thrips: insert centrifuge tube 17 into the insect rearing bottle, start the air pump 14 to evacuate the centrifuge tube 17 through the hose 15, and the centrifuge tube 17 will extract the thrips by suction. Then put the centrifuge tube 17 with the extracted thrips into the bioassay cup for use in bioassay experiments.

[0039] During the bioassay experiment: Prepare a reagent of the appropriate concentration using the original drug. Fill the bioassay cup with the prepared reagent and soak for 4 hours. Then, discard the reagent and allow the bioassay cup to air dry at room temperature. Prepare a new reagent of the appropriate concentration and pour it into the bioassay cup to soak green bean 10. Wash and dry fresh green bean 10, and cut it into green bean 28 pieces with a length of 2.5cm and a width of 2.5cm. Soak green bean 28 pieces in the working solution of the appropriate concentration. After removing the green bean 28 pieces, place them on the prepared filter paper and let them air dry. Place the green bean 28 pieces into the bioassay cup of the appropriate concentration for later use. Transfer the thrips from centrifuge tube 17 to the bioassay cup, cover with gauze 3 19, and cover with a punctured lid. After completion, label the bioassay cup with the reagent concentration and date, place it in an incubator, and observe the number of dead thrips in the bioassay cup after 48 hours. Record the results.

[0040] The above-mentioned method enables precise adjustment of temperature and humidity during thrips farming, preventing thrips mortality due to temperature and humidity issues, improving the sealing of the breeding containers, and preventing thrips escape during farming, thus facilitating the development of scientific research on thrips.
