Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of benthic animal collection technology, specifically a convenient benthic animal collector. Background Technology
[0002] Benthic organisms are an important group in ecosystems, accelerating the decomposition of underwater debris and playing a crucial role in material cycling and energy flow. Furthermore, their growth, reproduction, and survival are directly affected by changes in the aquatic environment, accurately reflecting water quality and often serving as indicator groups for ecosystem health assessments. Therefore, specialized sampling equipment is needed to obtain samples for relevant ecological research.
[0003] Most benthic animal collectors currently in use have difficulty preventing animals from escaping when the collector is lifted out of the water. During use, if it is difficult to prevent benthic animals from escaping, the force will cause them to escape from the inlet when the collector is lifted out of the water, resulting in distorted sample counts. This may require repeated sampling, causing unnecessary resource consumption and reducing the practicality of the benthic animal collector. Furthermore, it is difficult to attract benthic animals and remove the collector from the water. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient benthic animal collector to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A convenient benthic animal collector includes a fixing ring, an anti-escape mechanism inside the fixing ring, the anti-escape mechanism including a hinge, a door panel connected to the inside of the fixing ring via the hinge, and a stop block inside the fixing ring.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the stop block is triangular in shape, and a pull rope is provided on one side of the door panel.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the door panel is triangular in shape, and the shape and size of the door panel match the shape and size of the fixing ring.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a frame is provided on one side of the fixing ring, and a mesh is provided on the outer wall of the frame.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the number of the skeletons is three, and the shape of the mesh is rectangular.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the outer wall of the fixed ring is provided with an inducing connection mechanism, the inducing connection mechanism including a hanging arm, and the outer wall of the fixed ring is provided with a hanging arm.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a support rod is provided on the other side of the fixing ring, and a hanging ring is provided at one end of the support rod.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the hanging ring is circular in shape, and the number of hanging rings is three.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model, through the setting of an anti-escape mechanism, can prevent benthic animals from escaping from the collector. During use, the door is closed by the operator pulling the rope to prevent benthic animals from escaping. This avoids the situation where it is difficult to prevent benthic animals from escaping, which could cause them to escape from the inlet due to the force when the collector is lifted out of the water, thus distorting the sample count and potentially requiring repeated sampling, resulting in unnecessary resource consumption. This ensures the practicality of the collector.
[0016] 2. This utility model, through the design of the bait-attracting connection mechanism, can achieve the functions of attracting benthic animals and connecting the rope to the fixed ring. During use, the bait is hung on the hanging arm to attract benthic animals, and the rope is hung on the hanging ring and connected to the fixed ring. This avoids the situation where it is difficult to attract benthic animals, resulting in poor collection results and the collected information having certain reference value. This ensures the working efficiency of the collector and also avoids the situation where it is difficult to connect the rope to the fixed ring, requiring the staff to spend a lot of time connecting the rope to the fixed ring. This ensures the connection convenience of the collector. Attached Figure Description

[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. 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.
[0023] Example: Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a convenient benthic animal collector includes a fixing ring 1, an anti-escape mechanism 2 is provided inside the fixing ring 1, a frame 4 is provided on one side of the fixing ring 1, a mesh 5 is provided on the outer wall of the frame 4, there are three frames 4, the mesh 5 is rectangular in shape, and an attraction connection mechanism 3 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing ring 1.
[0024] When using this collector to collect benthic organisms, first connect the rope to the fixed ring 1, and then hang bait on the fixed ring 1 to lure the benthic organisms. The rope is connected to the fixed ring 1 through the baiting connection mechanism 3, and the bait is hung on the fixed ring 1 to lure the benthic organisms. After the connection is complete, directly sink the collector to the bottom of the inlet water, and use the bait to lure the benthic organisms into the mesh 5 for capture. After collecting a certain number, the collector needs to be pulled up from the water. Before pulling it up, it is necessary to prevent the benthic organisms from escaping. The escape prevention mechanism 2 is used to prevent the benthic organisms from escaping. Then, simply pull the rope to pull the collector up, thus completing the work.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixed ring 1 is equipped with an anti-runaway mechanism 2, which includes a hinge 201. The fixed ring 1 is equipped with a hinge 201, and a door panel 202 is connected to the fixed ring 1 through the hinge 201. The fixed ring 1 is equipped with a stop block 203, which is triangular in shape. A pull rope 204 is provided on one side of the door panel 202, which is also triangular in shape. The shape and size of the door panel 202 match the shape and size of the fixed ring 1.
[0026] Once a certain quantity has been collected, the collector needs to be pulled up from the water. Before pulling it up, it is necessary to prevent benthic organisms from escaping. At this time, pull the rope 204, which will cause the door panel 202 to move. The door panel 202 is closed by the hinge 201. The stop block 203 can ensure that the door panel 202 remains closed when it is pulled, thereby preventing benthic organisms from escaping and completing the anti-escape work.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the fixed ring 1 is provided with an inducing connection mechanism 3. The inducing connection mechanism 3 includes a hanging arm 301. The outer wall of the fixed ring 1 is provided with a hanging arm 301. The other side of the fixed ring 1 is provided with a support rod 302. One end of the support rod 302 is provided with a hanging ring 303. The hanging ring 303 is circular in shape, and there are three hanging rings 303.
[0028] When using this collector to collect benthic organisms, first connect the rope to the fixing ring 1, and then hang the bait on the fixing ring 1 to lure the benthic organisms. Then, loop the rope through the inner wall of the three hanging rings 303 to secure the rope to the fixing ring 1. Next, hang the bait directly on the hanging arm 301 to complete the attraction and connection process. Once connected, submerge the collector to the bottom of the water, using the bait to lure the benthic organisms into the mesh 5 for capture. Once a certain quantity has been collected, the collector needs to be pulled up from the water. Before pulling it up, it is necessary to prevent benthic organisms from escaping. At this time, pull the rope 204, which will cause the door panel 202 to move. The door panel 202 is closed by the hinge 201, and the stop block 203 ensures that the door panel 202 remains closed when it is pulled, thus preventing the benthic organisms from escaping. This completes the anti-escape work. Then, simply pull the rope to pull the collector up, thus completing the work.
