Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample collection device technology, specifically a sample collection device for nature education activities. Background Technology
[0002] Nature education is an educational process that allows participants to receive education within an ecological natural system and through labor. It's a comprehensive solution that addresses how to nurture participants according to their natural inclinations, how to cultivate their potential, and how to foster independence, self-reliance, self-confidence, and self-management, while simultaneously establishing correct values and a balanced worldview. It's an educational model that solves all individualized problems in the educational process, cultivating high-quality survival skills for life and fostering strong individuals. Nature education uses the natural environment as a backdrop, humans as a medium, and scientifically effective methods to integrate children into nature. Through systematic means, it enables children to effectively collect, organize, and weave natural information, forming effective logical thinking for social life. Nature education activities typically require the collection of activity samples.
[0003] For example, application publication number CN118575802A discloses a sample collection device for wetland nature education activities, including a body and a sleeve rod for attaching a cloth cover. One end of the sleeve rod is rotatably connected to the top of the body, and the other end is connected to the top of the body via a clamping mechanism. A chamber is formed in the middle of the body, and a rotating motor is installed on the outer wall of the body. The output end of the rotating motor is connected to a first rotating rod that passes through and rotates inside the body. This wetland nature education activity sample collection device uses a combination of a rotating motor, a first rotating rod, a first conveying roller, a chamber, a fixed plate, a second rotating rod, a second conveying roller, and a transmission mechanism. By turning on the rotating motor, the first and second conveying rollers rotate in the same direction, causing the cloth cover between the two conveying rollers to form folds, thus achieving an automated folding effect. This method is more time-saving and labor-saving, improves the working efficiency of the equipment, and achieves a better uniform folding effect during operation.
[0004] However, existing activity sample collection devices are all relatively complex in structure and not convenient to carry around for educational activities; therefore, there is an urgent need in the market to develop a sample collection device for nature education activities to help people solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sample collection device for nature education activities, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing activity sample collection devices are all relatively complex in structure and inconvenient to carry around for educational activities.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sample collection device for nature education activities, comprising a support column, a transparent trapping box fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, trapping ports provided on both sides and the middle of the four end faces of the transparent trapping box, a conical bucket fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent trapping box and inside each trapping port, an oblique port provided on one side of the conical bucket, an oblique end cap rotatably connected to the upper end of the oblique port, an insect-attracting lamp fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end face inside the transparent trapping box, and ventilation ports provided at both the front and rear ends of both sides of the middle of the upper end face of the transparent trapping box, with a breathable mesh fixedly installed inside each ventilation port.
[0007] Preferably, a base plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column, and a threaded column is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the transparent capture box, and an internally threaded sleeve is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting post.
[0009] Preferably, the transparent capture box and the support column are fixed together by an internal threaded sleeve fitted into the threaded column.
[0010] Preferably, a rotating connector is fixedly provided at the upper end of the inclined port.
[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the inclined end cap is rotatably connected to the rotating connector via a rotating shaft.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting the threaded column, the transparent capture box and the support column are fixed by the threaded connection of the threaded column through the inner threaded sleeve. By rotating the inner threaded sleeve, the inner threaded sleeve and the threaded column can be separated, so that the transparent capture box and the support column can be separated. This makes it convenient to carry the transparent capture box and the support column separately when carrying out nature education activities. Moreover, the structure of the transparent capture box and the support column is simple and convenient for a single person to carry with them.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the inclined end cap is connected to the rotating connector via a rotating shaft. The insect-attracting lamp inside the transparent trap attracts insects. The insects enter the conical hopper through the four trapping ports on the transparent trap. When the insects crawl into the transparent trap through the inclined port, they push up the inclined end cap, causing it to deflect upwards via the rotating shaft. After the insects crawl in, the inclined end cap returns to its original position under gravity, resealing the inclined end cap and preventing the insects from crawling out from the inclined port, thus completing the capture of the insects.
[0016] 3. In this utility model, by setting the ventilation holes, ventilation holes are set at both the front and rear ends of the middle part of the upper surface of the transparent trapping box. Ventilation mesh is fixedly installed inside each ventilation hole. The four ventilation holes on the transparent trapping box allow air to pass through, and at the same time, the ventilation mesh is used to seal the ventilation holes to prevent insects from suffocating.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4An embodiment of this utility model provides a sample collection device for nature education activities, including a support column 1. A transparent capture box 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 1. Capture ports 203 are provided on both sides and the middle of the four end faces of the transparent capture box 2. A conical bucket 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent capture box 2 and inside each capture port 203. An inclined port 301 is provided on one side of the conical bucket 3. An inclined end cap 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the inclined port 301. An insect-attracting lamp 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end face inside the transparent capture box 2. Ventilation ports 204 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the middle of the upper end face of the transparent capture box 2. Ventilation mesh 205 is fixedly installed inside each ventilation port 204.
[0024] Furthermore, a base plate 101 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 1, and a threaded column 102 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 1.
[0025] Furthermore, a connecting post 201 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the transparent capture box 2, and an internally threaded sleeve 202 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting post 201.
[0026] Furthermore, the transparent capture box 2 and the support column 1 are connected and fixed by an internal threaded sleeve 202 fitted onto the threaded column 102. By rotating the internal threaded sleeve 202, the internal threaded sleeve 202 can be separated from the threaded column 102, thus separating the transparent capture box 2 from the support column 1. This makes it convenient to carry the transparent capture box 2 and the support column 1 separately during nature education activities. Moreover, the transparent capture box 2 and the support column 1 have a simple structure, making them easy for a single person to carry.
[0027] Furthermore, a rotating connector 302 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the inclined port 301.
[0028] Furthermore, the upper end of the slanted end cap 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating connector 302 via a rotating shaft 401. The insect-attracting lamp 5 inside the transparent trapping box 2 emits light to attract insects. The insects enter the conical hopper 3 through the four trapping ports 203 on the transparent trapping box 2. When the insects crawl into the transparent trapping box 2 through the slanted port 301, they push up the slanted end cap 4, causing the slanted end cap 4 to deflect upwards via the rotating shaft 401. After the insects crawl in, the slanted end cap 4 returns to its original position under the action of gravity, resealing the slanted end cap 4, preventing the insects from crawling out of the slanted port 301, thus completing the capture of the insects. The transparent trapping box 2 is ventilated through the four vents 204, while the vents 204 are sealed by the ventilated mesh 205 to prevent the insects from suffocating.
[0029] Furthermore, a storage battery 501 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the transparent trapping box 2. The storage battery 501 is connected to the insect-attracting lamp 5 through a power line, and the storage battery 501 supplies power to the insect-attracting lamp 5.
[0030] Working Principle: In use, the insect-attracting lamp 5 is first powered by the battery 501, causing it to emit light and attract insects. Attracted by the light, the insects enter the conical hopper 3 through the four capture ports 203 on the transparent trap box 2. Due to the design of the conical hopper 3, the insects crawl along the inner wall of the hopper 3 towards the angled port 301. When the insects crawl into the transparent trap box 2 through the angled port 301, they push up the angled end cover 4. The angled end cover 4, through the rotating shaft 401 and the rotating connector 302, deflects upwards, allowing the insects to enter. Once the insects are completely inside the transparent trap box 2, the angled end cover 4 returns to its original position under its own weight, resealing the angled port 301 and preventing the insects from escaping. Simultaneously, the vents 204 on the transparent trap box 2 allow air circulation, ensuring the insects' survival needs within the trap box 2, while the breathable mesh 205 effectively prevents insects from escaping through the vents 204. The device has a simple structure, is easy to carry during nature education activities, and is easy to operate. It can effectively capture insect samples for educational use.
