[0002] In entomological research, observing insect behaviors such as movement, feeding, and mating under specific environments is an important research method for understanding insect habits. Storage insects are pests that damage stored goods; their habitats are hidden and difficult to observe and study. Traditional observation devices have the following shortcomings: 1. Limited environmental control: It is difficult to precisely adjust environmental parameters such as temperature, light intensity, and gas composition, making it impossible to simulate the insect's natural environment or conduct behavioral observations under stress conditions; 2. Limited observation angle: Mostly external, single-view observation; 3. Limited observation time: Mostly observed during the day when there is sufficient light, which does not conform to the storage insects' preference for hiding and avoiding light; observation is difficult in dim light or at night; 4. Inefficient data recording: Relies on manual observation or fixed-position video recording. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the temperature control assembly 3 is mounted on the transparent chamber 1. The temperature control assembly 3 includes a temperature sensor 31, a heating element 32, a cooling element 33, and a temperature controller 34. The temperature sensor 31, heating element 32, and cooling element 33 are all mounted on the inner wall of the transparent chamber 1. The temperature sensor 31 is positioned closer to the storage platform 2 than the heating element 32 and cooling element 33. The temperature sensor 31 uses an existing infrared temperature sensor, such as the SIL-411 infrared temperature sensor, with a temperature measurement range of -20 to +70℃ and an accuracy of ±0.47℃ (25℃). The temperature sensor 31 can measure the temperature inside the transparent chamber 1 and send the signal to the temperature controller 34. The temperature controller 34 is connected to the heating element 32 and... The cooling element 33 is connected to control the operation of both. The temperature controller 34 adopts an existing intelligent temperature controller, such as the Belme REX-C100 intelligent temperature controller, which has PID control adjustment and can output a relay or SSR solid-state relay.

The oxygen concentration rise curve is smooth and fluid, and the system displays the changes in oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide in real time. The oxygen concentration range is wide: adjustable and measurable from 0% to 100%, allowing for easy adjustment to any desired oxygen concentration. The oxygen concentration sensor 51 can display the cabin oxygen concentration in real time, with a measurement error of less than 0.1%. The theoretical lifespan is over 5 years. Both oxygen cylinder 53 and nitrogen cylinder 54 are connected to the concentration controller 52. The dual-channel concentration controller 52 can simultaneously connect to oxygen and nitrogen cylinders, offering faster adjustment speed and accuracy.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the controller assembly 6 is electrically connected to the temperature regulation assembly 3, the lighting assembly 4, the air conditioning assembly 5, and the circulating fan 91. The controller assembly 6 includes a microcontroller 61, a wireless transmission module 62, and a storage module. Both the wireless transmission module 62 and the storage module are connected to the microcontroller 61. The microcontroller 61 uses an existing microcontroller, such as the existing STM32F407 microcontroller. The wireless transmission module 62 uses an existing WiFi wireless module or Bluetooth module, such as the existing ESP8266 series WiFi wireless module or HC-05 Bluetooth module, to synchronize environmental parameters and camera images to external terminal devices (computers or tablets, etc.) in real time. The storage module uses an existing SD card, such as a SanDisk SD card. The UltraMicroSDHC uses an SDIO interface, suitable for video stream storage. Temperature control component 3 sends data collected by temperature sensor 31 to microcontroller 61, which stores it in the storage module. Microcontroller 61 has an RTC real-time clock module that controls the operation of lighting component 4 based on time, setting day / night durations, for example, 12 hours of illumination. Microcontroller 61 (STM32F407) can also control the MOSFET drive circuit via timer PWM output, enabling stepless brightness adjustment of the full-spectrum LED light strip, thereby adjusting the light intensity of the first and second lighting lamps 41 and 42. The concentration controller 52 of air conditioning component 5 is connected to microcontroller 61, sending data such as oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations inside the transparent chamber 1 to microcontroller 61 and storing them in the storage module.

The first camera 71 is connected to the top wall of the transparent cabin 1 through the telescopic rod 73. When the telescopic rod 73 is working, it drives the first camera 71 to rise or fall. When the first camera 71 falls, it is close to the storage platform 2, so as to facilitate close-up shooting of insects in the storage slot above the storage platform 2. The telescopic rod 73 is electrically connected to the microcontroller 61. The telescopic rod 73 adopts an existing electric push rod, such as the YMD-601 micro electric push rod produced by Wuxi Dongyuxiang Technology, with a maximum stroke of 600mm. It adopts a DC brushed motor. The microcontroller 61 is connected to an external relay. The relay is triggered by high and low levels, thereby controlling the rising and falling of the telescopic rod 73 through the existing relay.

The releaser 8 adopts an existing release device, such as the utility model patent disclosed in CN221689826 U, which discloses an intelligent insect pheromone release device that sprays pheromones through a sprayer. The releaser 8 sprays pheromones into the transparent chamber 1, which can induce specific behavioral responses.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the transparent chamber 1 is equipped with an air outlet pipe 11. The air outlet pipe 11 has a small diameter and an air outlet valve 111. The air outlet valve 111 is a solenoid valve that can control the opening and closing of the air outlet pipe 11. When the air conditioning component 5 is working and introducing oxygen or nitrogen into the transparent chamber 1, the air outlet pipe 11 can open to slowly expel excess air. The top of the transparent chamber 1 is equipped with a first functional pipe. The first functional pipe has a larger diameter and is connected to a sealing cap 13. The sealing cap 13 is threaded onto the first functional pipe to seal it. Opening the sealing cap 13 allows items to be inserted into the transparent chamber 1 through the first functional pipe.
