Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect experimental devices, specifically to an experimental device for the interaction between an antiviral agent and its natural enemy insects. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern agricultural biological control, the synergistic application of antiviral agents and natural enemy insects is an important research direction for achieving green control. With the deepening of the concept of ecological security, accurately assessing the ecotoxicity, behavioral disturbance, and adaptive effects of antiviral agents on natural enemy insects has become a key technological requirement. Such experiments need to simulate diverse micro-ecological environments and observe the behavioral responses and physiological changes of natural enemy insects under different agent concentrations, spatial structures, and environmental gradients.
[0003] The experimental apparatus currently in use has a single internal space function, making it difficult to quickly construct a multi-environment gradient within the same experimental cycle and observe the avoidance or adaptive responses of natural enemy insects under different conditions. During the experiment, it is impossible to simulate the autonomous selection behavior of natural enemy insects in scenarios such as pesticide diffusion and habitat fragmentation in real time, resulting in a one-sided detection result of their ecological interaction patterns, which is difficult to fully reflect the complex interaction between antiviral agents and natural enemy insects in real farmland ecosystems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this invention presents an experimental device for the interaction between antiviral agents and natural enemy insects. This device simulates different environments to observe the autonomous selection behavior of natural enemy insects under different conditions and explore their complex interaction with farmland ecosystems.
[0005] The experimental device for the interaction between antiviral agents and natural enemy insects of this utility model includes a release box for releasing natural enemy insects and a test box that can be detachably installed around the release box. The release box and the test box are respectively provided with a first elongated hole and a second elongated hole, and the first elongated hole and the second elongated hole are connected to each other.
[0006] The release box is also slidably connected to an adjustment plate that can close the first long hole. The adjustment plate has a channel that can connect to the first long hole, so that the natural enemy insects can enter the test box in sequence through the channel, the first long hole and the second long hole. The channel can move along the length of the long hole with the adjustment plate to adjust the passage height of the natural enemy insects.
[0007] The test chamber has a drawer at the bottom for holding sponges that absorb different amounts of moisture to provide a humid environment inside the test chamber, and a spray nozzle at the top for spraying chemicals into the chamber.
[0008] The delivery box is provided with a sliding groove, and the test box is provided with a sliding rail corresponding to the sliding groove. The sliding groove and the sliding rail are slidably connected, so that the test box can be installed around the delivery box.
[0009] The top of the dispensing box is equipped with a U-shaped frame, and a screw is threaded onto the U-shaped frame. One end of the screw is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate so that the adjusting plate can be moved by rotating the screw.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention utilizes a detachable test chamber mounted around a release box to simulate different environments. After releasing natural enemy insects into the release box, the invention experiments on the autonomous selective migration behavior of these insects under varying conditions, exploring their complex interactions with the farmland ecosystem. The test chamber can also be flexibly connected for on-demand installation, and the connection channels between the release box and each test chamber are height-adjustable to conduct different comparative experiments and observe the complex migration behavior of the natural enemy insects.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] See Figures 1 to 4The antiviral agent and natural enemy insect interaction experimental device of this embodiment includes a release box 1 for releasing natural enemy insects. The release box 1 has a release port 101 on the top and a screw cap 1011 is threaded to the upper end of the release port 101. When natural enemy insects are placed in the release box 1, the release port 101 is opened or closed by screw cap 1011 to prevent the insects from escaping.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The diagram also includes a test chamber 2 that can be detachably installed around the dispensing box 1. Specifically, the dispensing box 1 has a sliding groove 102, and the test chamber 2 has a sliding rail 202 corresponding to the sliding groove 102. The sliding groove 102 and the sliding rail 202 are slidably connected, allowing the test chamber 2 to be installed around the dispensing box 1. A limit switch is also provided at one end of the sliding groove 102; during installation, it is only necessary to push the dispensing box 1 into place. The installation direction is as follows: Figure 3 The arrows in test chambers 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2b show their directions. This arrangement allows for flexible assembly; for example, only two or three test chambers 2 are needed, and the three corresponding test chambers can be assembled on the three sides centered on the delivery box 1.
[0022] like Figure 4 The delivery box 1 and the test box 2 shown are respectively provided with a first long hole 103 and a second long hole 203, and the first long hole 103 and the second long hole 203 are connected to each other.
[0023] Inside the release box 1, there is also a sliding adjustment plate 104 that can close the first long hole 103. The adjustment plate 104 has a channel 107 that connects to the first long hole 103, allowing the predatory insects to enter the test box 2 sequentially through the channel 107, the first long hole 103, and the second long hole 203. The channel 107 can move along the length direction (vertical direction) of the long hole with the adjustment plate 104 to adjust the passage height of the predatory insects. This allows the connection height between each test box 2 and the release box 1 to be the same or different as a test variable, while keeping other conditions constant, thereby testing the migration height of the predatory insects. The top of the release box 1 is equipped with a U-shaped frame 106, on which a screw 105 is threadedly connected. One end of the screw 105 is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate 104, so that the adjustment plate 104 can be moved by rotating the screw 105 to control the height of the channel 107. At the same time, a support frame 4 is also set at the bottom of the experimental device, allowing the adjustment plate 104 to slide downward along the plumb line and extend out of the release box 1.
[0024] like Figure 4 , Figure 5The adjusting plate 104 shown has a portion of its body above the channel 107 that is longer than the length of the first elongated hole 103 and the second elongated hole 203, i.e., its vertical upward length. This allows the adjusting plate 104 to be continuously pushed downward when no test chamber 2 is installed on the corresponding side of the delivery box 1. This allows the portion of the adjusting plate 104 above the channel 107 to completely close the first elongated hole 103, leaving only the first elongated holes 103 on the other sides where test chambers 2 are installed open. This is convenient for situations where only two or three test chambers 2 are needed, as described above.
[0025] like Figure 1 Each test chamber 2 is equipped with a drawer 201 at the bottom. The drawer 201 is used to place sponges that absorb different amounts of moisture to provide different humidity environments inside the test chamber 2, thereby observing the relationship between the migration direction of natural enemy insects and the humidity environment. The top of the test chamber 2 is equipped with a spray nozzle 3 for spraying pesticides into it. Experimenters can spray different concentrations of antiviral agents (i.e., pesticides) into the test chamber 2 through the spray nozzle 3 and observe and evaluate the effects of different concentrations of antiviral agents on the ecotoxicity, behavioral disturbance, and adaptability of natural enemy insects.
[0026] During the experiment, insects were first put into the top of the release box 1 through the release port 101. After the release port 101 was closed, the insects migrated to different test boxes 2 due to the interaction of the agent and temperature and humidity. The migration path was from the channel 107 connecting the bottom of the release box 1 to the test box 2. Then, they were attracted to migrate upwards in the test box 2 by the agent (antiviral agent).
[0027] This invention utilizes test chambers 2, which can be detachably installed around a release box 1, to simulate different environments. After releasing natural enemy insects into the release box 1, the invention experiments on the autonomous selective migration behavior of these insects under different conditions, exploring their complex interactions with the farmland ecosystem. The test chambers 2 can also be flexibly assembled and installed as needed. Furthermore, the connection channels 107 between the release box 1 and each test chamber 2 are height-adjustable to conduct different comparative experiments and observe the complex migration behavior of the natural enemy insects.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
