Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection tools, and in particular to a field cockroach collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Cockroaches, commonly known as roaches, are a diverse species widely distributed globally. In their natural ecosystems, cockroaches typically exhibit nocturnal behaviors, resting on plant leaves or feeding on dew. Cockroach collection devices, as tools specifically designed to capture cockroaches, play an indispensable and crucial role in in-depth research into several important areas, including cockroach species composition, ecological habits, and biodiversity status.

[0003] Currently, the following traditional methods are mainly used for collecting cockroaches in the wild: First, by hand. However, since cockroaches in the wild are very likely to carry various pathogens, parasites and other harmful biological agents, direct hand capture will undoubtedly expose operators to high health and safety risks, and this method is extremely inefficient. Second, insect nets are used for collection. However, given that cockroaches are extremely agile and fast, and often hide or stay in complex environments with intertwined plant branches and leaves, it is difficult for insect nets to accurately locate and effectively cover individual cockroaches. Third, tools that can cover the cockroaches are used to assist in capture. However, in actual operation, due to the special position of the plant leaves where the cockroaches are located and the complexity of the wild environment, such tools are difficult to quickly and accurately cover and capture cockroaches.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new collection device that is easy and efficient to operate, and can accurately and quickly collect live cockroaches on plant leaves in complex and ever-changing environments in the field. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a field cockroach collection device to solve the problems of hygiene, safety and inefficiency of manual capture in the prior art, and the difficulty of accurately and quickly collecting live cockroaches from plant leaves using insect sweeping nets and covering tools.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The basic technical solution provided by this utility model is: a field cockroach collection device, including a first insect trap and a second insect trap, the first insect trap being fixedly connected to a fixed frame, the second insect trap being fixedly connected to a connecting rod, the connecting rod being rotatably connected to the fixed frame, the fixed frame being fixedly connected to a hand handle, the hand handle being rotatably connected to a rotating handle, the rotating handle being rotatably connected to a connecting frame, and the connecting frame being rotatably connected to the connecting rod.

[0008] The basic technical principle is as follows: A first and a second insect-catching cover are used, and their relative rotatable connection structure enables the opening and closing action. Specifically, the first insect-catching cover is connected to a handle via a fixed frame, providing a stable foundation for the entire device. The second insect-catching cover is rotatably connected to the fixed frame via a connecting rod, allowing the two covers to move relative to each other. The handle serves as the part for the operator to grip, facilitating control of the entire device. The rotating handle is rotatably connected to the handle and, through the connecting frame, to the connecting rod. When the operator operates the rotating handle, force is transmitted through the connecting frame to the connecting rod, causing the second insect-catching cover to rotate around its connection point with the fixed frame, thus coordinating with the opening and closing of the first insect-catching cover.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the basic technical solution are: it provides operators with greater convenience and efficiency. Through the precise rotational connection and coordinated operation between the hand handle, rotating handle, connecting frame, and connecting rod, operators can control the opening and closing of the first and second insect traps with extreme precision. This feature not only successfully avoids the potential health and safety risks and inefficiencies of traditional hand-catching methods, but also enables precise location and rapid trapping of target cockroaches in complex, intertwined vegetation and variable environments in the wild. Simultaneously, the enclosed space formed by the closing of the first and second insect traps effectively eliminates the possibility of escape for captured cockroaches, thus significantly improving the success rate of cockroach collection operations in the wild and greatly facilitating the collection work.

[0010] Preferably, both the first and second insect traps are in the shape of a "hollow hemisphere".

[0011] With the above setup, the hollow hemispherical first and second insect traps, when closed, form a near-spherical space. This spacious, edgeless space reduces damage to cockroaches and helps protect the living organisms. Its hemispherical structure allows for flexible and smooth opening and closing, adapting to different angles and positions of wild plant leaves, better conforming to the environment, reducing capture failures due to shape limitations, effectively improving the success rate and practicality of the collection device for cockroaches in the field, and making collection operations more efficient and convenient.

[0012] Preferably, both the first and second insect traps are made of transparent material.

[0013] With the above-described design, the transparent first and second insect traps allow operators to easily observe the location and condition of cockroaches during the collection process. During capture, the trapping strategy can be quickly adjusted based on the cockroaches' movements, improving capture accuracy. After collection, the cockroaches inside the traps can be directly observed for damage or other abnormalities without disturbing them by opening the traps, thus preserving their natural state and facilitating subsequent research on their behavior and habits. This enhances the functionality and practicality of the collection device.

[0014] Preferably, a spring is provided between the free end of the hand handle and the free end of the rotating handle.

[0015] With the above-described design, the spring provides auxiliary elasticity during operation. When the rotating handle is released, the spring helps it quickly return to its original position, allowing the first and second insect traps to rapidly return to their initial open or closed state, facilitating the next collection operation and improving collection efficiency. Simultaneously, the spring's cushioning effect reduces damage to the device's connecting components caused by improper operation or external impacts, extending the device's lifespan and enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the device.

[0016] Preferably, the edges of the first and second insect traps are provided with sealing gaskets.

[0017] With the above-described design, the sealing gasket fills the gap between the first and second insect traps when they are closed, creating a well-sealed environment. On one hand, this effectively prevents captured cockroaches from escaping through the edge gaps, ensuring a high success rate for collection. On the other hand, it reduces external environmental interference with the cockroaches inside the traps, maintaining a relatively stable internal microenvironment. This helps preserve the cockroaches' physiological state during short-term storage after collection, facilitating subsequent research and sample transport. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0023] like Figures 1-3As shown: A field cockroach collection device includes a first insect trap 1 and a second insect trap 2. Both the first insect trap 1 and the second insect trap 2 are hollow hemispheres. Both the first insect trap 1 and the second insect trap 2 are made of transparent material. The edges of the first insect trap 1 and the second insect trap 2 are provided with sealing gaskets. The first insect trap 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 3. The second insect trap 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 4. The connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 3. The fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to a hand handle 5. The hand handle 5 is rotatably connected to a rotating handle 6. A spring 8 is provided between the free end of the hand handle 5 and the free end of the rotating handle 6. The rotating handle 6 is rotatably connected to a connecting frame 7. The connecting frame 7 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4.

[0024] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0025] First, the operator holds the free end of the handle 5 and applies pressure to the free end of the rotating handle 6, causing the rotating handle 6 and the handle 5 to rotate relative to each other. During the relative rotation, the fixed end of the rotating handle 6 and the connecting frame 7 rotate relative to each other. At the same time, the fixed end of the rotating handle 6 drives the connecting frame 7 to move together. At this time, the other end of the connecting frame 7 drives the connecting rod 4 to move together, so that the connecting rod 4 rotates around the rotation point on the fixed frame 3. Then, the connecting rod 4 drives the second insect trap 2 to move, thereby realizing the opening between the first insect trap 1 and the second insect trap 2.

[0026] Then, the operator releases the pressure on the rotating handle 6, causing the second insect trap 2 to fall under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the spring 8, thus completing the closure between the first insect trap 1 and the second insect trap 2.

[0027] Finally, the operator pulls the handle 5 to separate the device from the plant leaves, thus completing the collection of cockroaches.
