Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tick transport container technology, and in particular to a tick transport device. Background Technology

[0002] Ticks are an important group of medically significant arthropods. They transmit many infectious diseases to humans and animals by biting and sucking blood from their hosts. Adult ticks are relatively large (2-5 mm in length, with a body width typically 1 / 3-1 / 2 of their length, approximately 0.7-2.5 mm), have stable morphological characteristics, are easy to observe and handle, and are less likely to die or enter a state of suspended animation due to slight stimulation during sample collection, transfer, and processing. This effectively ensures the integrity and viability of experimental samples, so adult ticks are usually captured for testing.

[0003] Traditional tick transport devices often use glass containers for carrying ticks. However, ticks are strong climbers, and during transport, they may climb onto the container lid. Multiple ticks may be placed inside the container at the same time. If researchers do not notice the ticks near the lid and open it, the ticks may escape directly from the container, requiring researchers to painstakingly capture them. Therefore, to solve these problems, this invention proposes a tick transport device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tick transport device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A tick transport device, comprising:

[0007] A housing, wherein the interior of the housing is provided with a receiving cavity;

[0008] A container lid, which is mounted on the top of the housing and is used to close the opening at the top of the housing;

[0009] A moisturizing element is installed at the bottom of the housing to provide a humid environment for the bottom of the housing;

[0010] A drying element is installed inside the container lid, providing a dry environment for the top of the housing.

[0011] The above technical solution further includes: multiple baffles are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell, and a storage chamber is formed between two adjacent baffles and the inner wall of the shell, and ticks are placed in the storage chambers respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the moisturizing element includes an absorbent sponge.

[0013] Furthermore, a partition is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell near the bottom, and an air hole a is opened on the partition. A first mounting box is threaded into the bottom opening of the shell, and an absorbent sponge is placed inside the first mounting box.

[0014] Furthermore, the drying element includes a drying block.

[0015] Furthermore, the container cover includes a top cover and a second mounting box. The top cover is threaded onto the second mounting box, and the second mounting box is mounted onto the housing via a snap fastener assembly. The drying block is placed inside the second mounting box, and air holes b are provided on the top wall of the top cover and the bottom wall of the second mounting box.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a placement rack with multiple placement holes, into which the housing is inserted.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In this invention, a humidifying sponge block is provided at the bottom of the shell to provide a slightly more humid environment for the bottom of the shell, while a drying block is placed at the top of the shell to absorb the humid air near the top and provide a drier environment for the top of the shell. Based on the tick's preference for humid conditions and aversion to dryness, this increases the probability of ticks gathering at the bottom of the shell, reduces the phenomenon of ticks climbing onto the top container lid, and reduces the probability of ticks escaping after the container lid is opened later.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] See attached document Figure 1-3 A tick transport device includes: a shell 10, a container lid, a humidifying element, and a drying element. The drying element is installed inside the container lid to increase the dryness of the top; while the humidifying element is located at the bottom to provide a more humid environment at the bottom of the shell 10 than at the top. Based on the tick's preference for moist conditions, this helps ticks to accumulate at the bottom, reducing the occurrence of ticks gathering at the top.

[0027] Specifically, the housing 10 has an internal cavity; a container lid is installed on the top of the housing 10 to close the opening at the top of the housing 10; a humidifying element is installed at the bottom of the housing 10; and a drying element is installed inside the container lid.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of baffles 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell 10, and a storage compartment is formed between two adjacent baffles 11 and the inner wall of the shell 10, and ticks are placed in the storage compartments respectively; wherein, dividing the interior of the shell 10 into a plurality of storage compartments by the baffles 11 and placing the ticks separately can avoid tick fighting and reduce the death and injury caused by tick fighting.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the moisturizing element includes an absorbent sponge 21; wherein the absorbent sponge 21 is made of high-density medical sponge, which has both strong water absorption and slow moisture release properties.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, a partition 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 10 near the bottom. The partition 12 has an air hole a. A first mounting box 20 is threadedly installed in the bottom opening of the housing 10. The water-absorbing sponge 21 is placed inside the first mounting box 20. The first mounting box 20 can be rotated and removed from the bottom of the housing 10, so that it can be used for subsequent replacement of the water-absorbing sponge 21.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the drying element includes a drying block 321; wherein the drying block 321 is made of breathable non-woven fabric wrapped around silica gel desiccant granules.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the container cover includes a top cover 31 and a second mounting box 32. The top cover 31 is threaded onto the second mounting box 32, and the drying block 321 is placed inside the second mounting box 32. The top cover 31 can be rotated off the second mounting box 32, and the drying block 321 inside the second mounting box 32 can be replaced after removal.

[0033] The second mounting box 32 is mounted on the housing 10 via a snap fastener assembly. The snap fastener assembly allows the second mounting box 32 to be removed. Additionally, when the second mounting box 32 is inserted into the top of the housing 10, the snap fastener assembly can be used to secure the housing 10 and the second mounting box 32 together.

[0034] Furthermore, air vents b are provided on the top wall of the top cover 31 and the bottom wall of the second mounting box 32 (the opening of air vents b facilitates the entry of oxygen); in this device, adult ticks are used for transportation. In the prior art, adult ticks are relatively large (body length 2-5mm, body width is usually 1 / 3-1 / 2 of body length, about 0.7-2.5mm); therefore, the inner diameter of air vents b and the aforementioned air vents a can be selected to be 0.5mm.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, a placement rack 40 is further included, on which a plurality of placement holes are provided, and the housing 10 is inserted into the placement holes; wherein, in order to facilitate the placement of the device in the transport vehicle, the placement rack 40 can be used to place the device on the placement rack 40 to stabilize the placement of the placement rack 40.

[0036] In this embodiment, the working principle of the device is as follows: when using the device to transport ticks, firstly, the first mounting box 20 is unscrewed from the bottom of the shell 10, and clean water is injected into the absorbent sponge 21 inside the first mounting box 20. After the absorbent sponge 21 absorbs water, the first mounting box 20 is screwed back to the bottom of the shell 10.

[0037] At this time, the absorbent sponge 21 releases moisture into the receiving cavity at the bottom of the shell 10 through the air holes a on the partition 12, creating a humid environment;

[0038] Next, open the top cover 31 of the container lid, put the drying block 321 into the second mounting box 32, and then screw the top cover 31 onto the second mounting box 32. Install the second mounting box 32 onto the top of the housing 10 using the snap fastener assembly.

[0039] The drying block 321 adsorbs moisture from the top of the shell 10 through the pores b on the bottom wall of the second mounting box 32, forming a gradient environment with a dry top and a moist bottom. Taking advantage of the ticks' preference for moisture and aversion to dryness, it guides them to gather at the bottom of the shell 10.

[0040] Meanwhile, ticks are placed in storage compartments separated by multiple baffles 11 to prevent ticks from fighting and causing death. Finally, the tick shells 10 are inserted into the placement holes of the placement rack 40. The placement rack 40 stabilizes the ticks during transportation, reducing the impact of shaking on the ticks and achieving safe and stable transportation of the ticks.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
