[0027] As described in the background section, with the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous increase in urban building density, outdoor spaces available for people to connect with nature are decreasing. Public recreational areas such as parks, greenways, waterways, forest trails, and country trails have become important places for people to get close to nature. However, in these outdoor environments, insects, as an important part of the ecosystem, often lack fixed habitats, making it difficult for people to observe and understand them up close, which is not conducive to carrying out activities such as parent-child interaction and nature education.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, in order to solve the above problems, according to one aspect of this application, an embodiment of this application provides an insect habitat device, which includes: a device body 10, a filling part 20, and a device mounting part, wherein the device body 10 is provided with a plurality of insect habitat cavities 13 communicating with the external environment and observation openings for observing the insect habitat cavities 13; the filling part 20 includes filling material, which fills the insect habitat cavities 13 and forms a plurality of habitat gaps and / or a plurality of habitat holes in the insect habitat cavities 13; the device mounting part includes a suspension and hoisting module, which includes a flexible hoisting component and a rigid suspension component, the rigid suspension component is disposed on the device body 10, and the flexible hoisting component is disposed on the rigid suspension component or the device body 10, and the device body 10 can be suspended and fixed to an external fixed object by the rigid suspension component and / or the flexible hoisting component. The insect habitat device provided in this embodiment adopts a combination structure of flexible hoisting components and rigid suspension components, ensuring that the main body 10 of the device can be stably suspended on various external fixed objects such as trees and fences, while reducing the impact of external forces such as wind on the insect habitat device. Filling material is set in the insect habitat cavity 13, which can form insect habitat gaps and / or insect habitat holes 221 that simulate the natural environment, attracting insects in the outdoor environment to the insect habitat cavity 13 for activity. The observation opening set on the main body 10 for observing the insect habitat cavity 13 makes it convenient for people to observe the insects in the insect habitat cavity 13. The synergistic effect of the three can enable the insect habitat device to effectively gather insects in the outdoor environment in a fixed position, while allowing people to observe and understand the insects gathered in the insect habitat cavity 13 up close, meeting the needs of outdoor science education.

[0029] It should be noted that the observation opening in this embodiment refers to a transparent or hollow structure set on the main body 10 of the device, which is used to achieve undisturbed ecological observation and maintain the exchange of internal and external environments of the main body 10 of the device.

[0030] In some embodiments, the rigid suspension assembly in this embodiment includes a hook assembly disposed on the side or top of the device body 10, allowing the device body 10 to be suspended and fixed to an external fixed object via the hook assembly. By disposing of the hook assembly on the side or top of the device body 10, the device body 10 can flexibly select its suspension position according to the installation environment, ensuring that the device body 10 remains stably suspended under different terrain conditions, while improving installation convenience and environmental adaptability.

[0031] In other embodiments, the rigid suspension assembly in this embodiment includes a hanger assembly disposed on the side or top of the device body 10, allowing the device body 10 to be suspended and fixed to an external fixed object via the hanger assembly. When the device body 10 is suspended and fixed to an external fixed object via the hanger assembly, the hanger assembly provides multi-directional force support to the device body 10, significantly enhancing the suspension stability of the device body 10 and meeting the fixing requirements of strong wind environments or heavy device bodies 10. It is understood that in other embodiments, the device body 10 in this embodiment can also be fixed to an external fixed object in other ways, such as directly fixing it to an external fixed object with nails.

[0032] In some embodiments, the flexible hoisting assembly includes a telescopic belt assembly. The first end of the telescopic belt assembly is detachably connected to the rigid suspension assembly or the device body 10, and the second end is detachably connected to an external fixing object. Adjusting the length of the telescopic belt assembly changes the suspension height of the device body 10. By employing a telescopic belt assembly with detachable connections at both ends, rapid and stepless adjustment of the suspension height of the device body 10 can be achieved. This also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the device body 10, significantly improving the adaptability and deployment efficiency of the insect habitat device under different environmental conditions.

[0033] In other embodiments, the flexible hoisting assembly in this embodiment further includes an elastic buffer cable assembly. In this embodiment, the first end of the elastic buffer cable assembly is detachably connected to the rigid suspension assembly or the main body 10 of the device, and the second end of the elastic buffer cable assembly is detachably connected to an external fixing object. By setting the elastic buffer cable assembly to connect the main body 10 of the device and the external fixing object, the insect habitat can absorb the impact of external forces such as wind on the main body 10 through the elastic deformation of the elastic buffer cable assembly. This ensures the stable suspension of the main body 10 while reducing the risk of structural damage to the main body 10 and extending its service life. It should be noted that the elastic buffer cable in this embodiment refers to a flexible rope with a certain degree of elasticity, such as a covered steel wire rope or a composite fiber rope.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the device mounting section further includes a base module. The base module is placed on an external substrate and is separate from the device body 10. The device body 10 can be placed on the base module and is spaced apart from the external substrate by the base module. In this embodiment, the base module is placed on an external substrate such as the ground, and the device body 10 is placed on the base module. The device body 10 can be separated from the ground by the base module, thereby reducing the impact of the damp environment on the device body 10 and extending the service life of the device body 10. Setting the device body 10 separately from the base module allows the device body 10 to flexibly choose between hanging installation or ground placement according to usage requirements, significantly improving the adaptability of the device body 10 to different outdoor scenarios. In addition, the separate base module and device body 10 facilitate the transportation and maintenance of the insect habitat device, providing convenience for the long-term development of outdoor science education.

[0035] In some embodiments, the base module in this embodiment is constructed from ceramic bricks, which can be local red bricks. By using ceramic bricks to construct the base module, the stability and durability of the insect habitat in humid environments can be effectively improved, while reducing manufacturing costs and achieving harmonious integration with the local ecological environment.

[0036] See Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the filling material includes at least one of tubular material 21, block material 22, strip material 23, bundle material 24, and sheet material 25. It should be noted that by using filling materials of various shapes, diverse habitat environments can be formed within the insect habitat cavity 13. Specifically, tubular material 21 can provide a tunnel-like shelter space, block material 22 can form a stable support structure, strip material 23 or bundle material 24 can form a biomimetic nest passage, and sheet material 25 can create a layered habitat space. Through the combination of filling materials of various shapes, the differentiated habitat needs of different insect species can be met.

[0037] In some embodiments, the plurality of insect habitats 13 in this embodiment include at least one first habitat, and the filling material in the first habitat consists only of tubular material 21. By using only tubular material 21 as filling material in the first habitat, a uniformly structured tubular nesting environment can be provided for the target insects, effectively improving the recognition and occupancy rate of specific tube-dwelling insects, such as solitary wasps.

[0038] In some embodiments, the plurality of insect habitat cavities 13 in this embodiment include at least one second habitat cavity, and the filling material in the second habitat cavity consists only of block material 22. By using only block material 22 as filling material in the second habitat cavity, a stable three-dimensional support structure can be provided for insects such as beetles and crickets that prefer to inhabit crevices, effectively improving the habitat comfort and long-term residence rate of such insects.

[0039] In some embodiments, the plurality of insect habitat cavities 13 in this embodiment include at least one third habitat cavity, and the filling material in the third habitat cavity includes only strip-shaped material 23, bundle-shaped material 24, and sheet-shaped material 25. By using only strip-shaped, bundle-shaped, and sheet-shaped material 25 as filling material in the third habitat cavity, a biomimetic three-dimensional spatial structure can be provided for leaf and branch-inhabiting insects such as butterfly larvae and mantises, effectively simulating their natural habitat environment and improving their survival rate.

[0040] See Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the filling material includes a tubular material 21, on which a plurality of insect habitat holes 221 are spaced apart, forming at least a partial habitat cavity; and / or, the filling material includes a block material 22, on which a plurality of insect habitat holes 221 are spaced apart, forming at least a partial habitat cavity. By spaced apart on the tubular material 21 and / or the block material 22, the tubular material 21 and / or the block material 22 can form at least a partial habitat cavity within the insect habitat chamber 13 through the insect habitat holes 221, providing a suitable shelter for insects.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, at least one of the tubular material 21, block material 22, strip material 23, bundle material 24, and sheet material 25 is stacked in the same insect habitat cavity 13 to form structural gaps, which constitute at least a partial habitat gap. By setting at least one of the tubular material 21, block material 22, strip material 23, bundle material 24, and sheet material 25 to be stacked in the same insect habitat cavity 13 to form structural gaps, the stacked filling material can form at least a partial habitat gap within the insect habitat cavity 13 through the structural gaps formed thereon, providing a suitable shelter for the insect.

[0042] See Figure 1As shown, in one specific embodiment, the filling material includes tubular material 21, which includes at least one of wooden tubes and bamboo tubes. It should be noted that the pore size and inner wall roughness of the wooden tubes in this embodiment can be customized. By adjusting the pore size and inner wall roughness of the wooden tubes, the size requirements of the target insects can be precisely matched, while providing an ideal inner wall gripping surface for the insects' feet. The bamboo tubes, through the natural segmented structure of bamboo nodes, automatically form segmented nest units. The selection or combination of wooden and bamboo tubes can meet the differentiated needs of different insects for their habitat, ensuring the stable performance of the insect habitat device. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the bamboo tubes in this embodiment are bamboo nodes.

[0043] See Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the filling material includes block material 22, which includes at least one of wood blocks and ceramic blocks. It should be noted that the wood blocks in this embodiment have natural textures and pores, and suitable air permeability, providing insects with a habitat environment similar to natural trees. The slowly released lignin and other substances can attract specific insect species. The ceramic blocks, on the other hand, have stable physical properties and can maintain structural integrity in humid environments, providing insects with a durable shelter. The selection or combination of wood and ceramic blocks can meet the diverse habitat needs of different insects, ensuring the stable performance of the insect habitat device. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the wood blocks in this embodiment can be locally fallen logs, and the ceramic blocks can be locally sourced red bricks.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the filling material includes strip-shaped material 23, which comprises plant branches. It should be noted that the plant branches in this embodiment, through their natural branching structure and surface texture, can form biomimetic nest passages within the insect habitat cavity 13, providing a habitat environment that conforms to the natural habits of insects such as bees and beetles. Furthermore, the volatile substances contained in the epidermis of the plant branches can attract specific insect species, and their fibrous structure has good air permeability and moisture retention, contributing to the formation of a suitable insect habitat environment within the insect habitat cavity 13. In addition, the plant branches can form dynamically changing slit structures during degradation, thereby continuously attracting insect populations in different ecological niches, providing rich ecological samples for long-term scientific observation. It is understood that in some embodiments, the plant branches in this embodiment can be local branches or sticks.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the filling material includes bundled material 24, which comprises plant stems. It should be noted that the plant stems in this embodiment, through their natural fibrous texture, can form a biomimetic network of nest passages within the insect habitat 13, providing insects with a sheltered space that conforms to their natural habitat habits. The waxy layer on the surface of the plant stems helps to create a suitable humidity environment within the insect habitat 13. Furthermore, the plant stems develop cracks during natural aging, thus forming a dynamically changing slit structure within the insect habitat 13, continuously attracting insect populations from different ecological niches and providing rich ecological samples for long-term scientific observation. It is understood that in some embodiments, the plant stems in this embodiment can be local straw or hay.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the filling material includes sheet-like material 25, which comprises plant leaves. It should be noted that the plant leaves in this embodiment, through their natural layered structure and surface texture, can form a biomimetic layered habitat within the insect habitat cavity 13, providing a sheltered environment consistent with the natural habits of insects that prefer leaf-based habitats. The waxy layer on the surface of the plant leaves helps to create a suitable humidity environment within the insect habitat cavity 13. Furthermore, during the degradation process, the plant leaves gradually curl and form a dynamically changing three-dimensional structure, thereby continuously attracting insect populations in different ecological niches and providing rich ecological samples for long-term scientific observation. It is understood that in some embodiments, the plant leaves in this embodiment can be local tree leaves.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, when multiple insect habitat holes 221 are spaced apart on the tubular material 21, the distance between two adjacent insect habitat holes 221 on the same tubular material 21 is 5mm to 10mm; when multiple insect habitat holes 221 are spaced apart on the block material 22, the distance between two adjacent insect habitat holes 221 on the same block material 22 is 5mm to 10mm. By keeping the distance between two adjacent insect habitat holes 221 on the same tubular material 21 or the same block material 22 to 5mm to 10mm, it can be ensured that each insect habitat hole 221 forms an independent habitat unit, avoiding mutual interference between individual insects, while ensuring that the tubular material 21 or the block material 22 has good structural strength.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, at least two of the multiple insect habitat holes 221 in this embodiment have the same diameter. By setting at least two of the multiple insect habitat holes 221 to have the same diameter, the insect habitat device can provide a uniform habitat space to the target insect population, effectively increasing the occupancy rate of specific insect species. Furthermore, the hole structure with the same diameter is conducive to industrialized mass production, reducing the processing cost of the insect habitat holes 221 while ensuring consistent quality.

[0049] In another embodiment, the diameters of the multiple insect habitat holes 221 in this embodiment are different. By setting the diameters of the multiple insect habitat holes 221 to be different, the insect habitat device can simultaneously meet the habitat needs of insects of various sizes, effectively improving the ecological inclusiveness of the insect habitat device.

[0050] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the main body 10 of the device includes a roof assembly 11, which includes a roof body 111 and a partition assembly 112. The roof body 111 has a receiving cavity, and the partition assembly 112 is at least partially installed within the receiving cavity, dividing it into multiple insect habitat chambers 13. By at least partially installing the partition assembly 112 within the receiving cavity, the roof assembly 11 can divide the receiving cavity into multiple insect habitat chambers 13. This division of the multiple insect habitat chambers 13 facilitates the insect habitat device to achieve zoned habitat management for different species of insects, avoiding interspecies interference between different insect species.

[0051] In some embodiments, the roof body 111 in this embodiment is provided with an installation opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the partition assembly 112 installed in the receiving cavity extends at least partially through the installation opening to the external environment. By configuring the partition assembly 112 to partially extend out of the installation opening, it is convenient for the installation and maintenance of the partition assembly 112, and it also forms an additional ventilation and observation channel, improving observation convenience. In some embodiments, the installation opening forms an observation opening.

[0052] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one specific embodiment, the main body 10 of the device further includes a roof assembly 12. The roof assembly 12 is installed on top of the roof assembly 11, and the roof assembly 12 protrudes outward from both ends to the middle of the roof assembly 12 away from the roof assembly 11, away from the upper surface of the roof assembly 11. By setting the upper surface of the roof assembly 12 to protrude outward from both ends to the middle of the roof assembly 12 away from the roof assembly 11, the main body 10 can quickly guide rainwater falling onto the upper surface of the roof assembly 11 through the protruding upper surface of the roof assembly 12, preventing rainwater from accumulating and seeping on the roof assembly 12, thus extending the service life of the roof assembly 12. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the roof assembly 12 and the roof assembly 11 together form a receiving cavity.

[0053] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the roof assembly 12 in this embodiment includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface sequentially disposed from the first end of the roof assembly 12 to the second end of the roof assembly 12. The first inclined surface is inclined from the first end of the roof assembly 12 to the second end of the roof assembly 12 in a direction away from the roof assembly 11, and the second inclined surface is inclined from the second end of the roof assembly 12 to the first end of the roof assembly 12 in a direction away from the roof assembly 11. The first end and the second end of the roof assembly 12 refer to opposite ends in the direction perpendicular to the height of the roof assembly 12.

[0054] In some embodiments, the main body 10 of the device in this embodiment is formed by splicing together wooden planks, wherein the wooden planks can be made locally from tree bark or wind-fallen trees. By using locally made wooden planks from tree bark or windfallen trees to form the main body 10 of the device, the insect habitat can be perfectly integrated into the local ecological environment, significantly increasing the acceptance of the device by wild insects, while reducing production costs and achieving resource recycling. It should be noted that when the main body 10 of the device in this embodiment is formed by splicing together wooden planks, since the main body 10 of the device is relatively light, it can be suspended and fixed by only rigid suspension components or flexible hoisting components.

[0055] In other embodiments, the main body 10 of the device in this embodiment is constructed from wooden boards and ceramic bricks, wherein the ceramic bricks can be local red bricks. By using a combination of wooden boards and local red bricks to construct the main body 10, the needs of insects for a wood fiber habitat and the durability requirements of the main body 10 in humid areas can be simultaneously met. It should be noted that when the main body 10 of the device in this embodiment is constructed from wooden boards and ceramic bricks, due to the relatively heavy weight of the main body 10, it is necessary to suspend and fix it simultaneously using both rigid suspension components and flexible hoisting components.

[0056] In some embodiments, the thickness of the wooden board used to construct the main body 10 of the device is 10mm to 30mm. By setting the thickness of the wooden board used to construct the main body 10 of the device to 10mm to 30mm, the main body 10 of the device can have sufficient load-bearing stability, while also facilitating outdoor installation and transportation of the main body 10 of the device.

[0057] In some embodiments, the thickness of the wooden board used to construct the main body 10 of the device is 20 mm. By setting the thickness of the wooden board of the main body 10 of the device to 20 mm, a good balance can be achieved between structural strength and weight. It is understood that the wooden boards in this embodiment can be fixed with self-tapping screws or anchors when splicing.

[0058] In some embodiments, the insect habitat device of this embodiment further includes an illumination unit, which is installed on the device body 10 and used to emit an illumination beam into the insect habitat cavity 13. By providing an illumination unit on the device body 10, the insect habitat device can emit an illumination beam with a specific spectrum into the insect habitat cavity 13, facilitating the observation of insects at night. The specific spectrum illumination beam refers to an illumination beam that can simulate natural light conditions in the insect habitat cavity 13 to regulate the insect's diurnal rhythm. It should be noted that the illumination unit in this embodiment refers to an optical illumination system integrated on the device body 10, and its specific structure is a conventional structure in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In some embodiments, the insect habitat device in this embodiment further includes an insect identification unit, which is installed on the main body 10 of the device and is used to identify the species of insects in the insect habitat cavity 13. By setting the insect identification unit on the main body 10 of the device, the insect habitat device can identify and record the species and number of insects in the insect habitat cavity 13, providing accurate data support for ecological research. It should be noted that the insect identification unit in this embodiment refers to an insect identification system integrated on the main body 10 of the device. The insect identification system includes an image acquisition module and a data processing module electrically connected to it. The image acquisition module is used to acquire image information in the insect habitat cavity 13, and the data processing module is used to process the image information acquired by the image acquisition module, thereby identifying and recording the species, number, and behavioral data of insects in the insect habitat cavity 13, providing accurate digital observation support for ecological research.
