Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect information collection technology, specifically an insect flight trajectory environment simulation system. Background Technology

[0002] Studying insect flight trajectories, wingbeat frequencies, and activity habits is crucial for biodiversity surveys, agricultural pest monitoring and early warning, and ecological research. When collecting insect data, flight restraint methods are quite practical, with the most typical approach being the use of a "flying mill" structure, or attaching the insect directly to a sensor with a thin thread. However, these devices have some problems. When insects are large and have strong flight capabilities, such as bees and moths, their powerful pull may break the thread, rendering the experimental sample unusable and interrupting data collection.

[0003] To address this, we propose an environment simulation system for insect flight trajectories. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an insect flight trajectory environment simulation system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an insect flight trajectory environment simulation system, including a mounting frame, an installation box fixedly mounted below the mounting frame, a movable block disposed inside the installation box, a first spring fixedly connected between the bottom surface of the movable block and the bottom wall of the installation box, a locking block snapping into the top of the installation box, magnets fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the locking block and the upper surface of the movable block, the two magnets attracting each other, and a limit component disposed inside the locking block to restrict its disengagement after the locking block is inserted into the installation box.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting component includes a slot formed inside the locking block, and two symmetrical C-shaped rods are engaged inside the slot, with a second spring fixedly connected between the two C-shaped rods.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting box is provided with a slot that matches the C-shaped rod.

[0008] Preferably, a monitoring instrument for monitoring insects is fixedly installed on top of the mounting frame.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the card block is fixedly connected to the binding rope by a universal joint mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the universal connection mechanism is a ball joint. By introducing a ball joint or other universal mechanism at the connection of the binding rope, the insect is allowed to make more natural flight posture adjustments, which significantly reduces the mechanical interference and rope entanglement problems caused by traditional fixing methods, making the observed flight behavior more realistic and reliable, and greatly improving the authenticity of the data.

[0011] Preferably, the magnet is a permanent magnet.

[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model innovatively adopts a combination design of magnetic adsorption and mechanical limiting. When the insect's flight pull is too great, the magnetic connection will separate first, effectively buffering the impact force. Like a safety rope, it can prevent fragile insects from being injured or broken due to excessive struggle, and also prevent strong insects from damaging the precision sensor, achieving dual protection for both the insect and the equipment. Through the quick-locking of the locking block and limiting components with the mounting box, quick-insertion installation of the sample is achieved. Users can quickly complete the fixation and replacement of insects without complicated operations, greatly improving experimental efficiency.

[0014] 2. The entire system is installed using a mounting bracket, making it sturdy and durable. It can be used not only for laboratory experiments but also for monitoring the actual flight postures of insects outdoors, providing a powerful and practical tool for scientific research, agricultural insect monitoring, and biodiversity surveys.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an insect flight trajectory environment simulation system, including a mounting frame 2. A monitoring instrument 4 for monitoring insects is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 2. A mounting box 5 is fixedly installed below the mounting frame 2. A movable block 6 is set inside the mounting box 5. A first spring 7 is fixedly connected between the bottom surface of the movable block 6 and the bottom wall of the mounting box 5. A locking block 9 is snapped onto the top of the mounting box 5. A binding rope 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the locking block 9 through a universal joint mechanism. The universal joint mechanism is a ball joint. By introducing a universal joint mechanism such as a ball joint at the connection of the binding rope 3, insects are allowed to make more natural flight posture adjustments, which significantly reduces the mechanical interference and rope entanglement problems caused by traditional fixing methods, making the observed flight behavior more realistic and reliable, and greatly improving the authenticity of the data. Magnets 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the locking block 9 and the upper surface of the movable block 6. The magnets 10 are permanent magnets, and the two magnets 10 attract each other. The card block 9 is provided with a limiting component 1 inside, which is used to limit the card block 9 from being removed after it is inserted into the mounting box 5. The limiting component 1 includes a slot 11 opened inside the card block 9. Two symmetrical C-shaped rods 12 are engaged inside the slot 11. A second spring 13 is fixedly connected between the two C-shaped rods 12. The inner wall of the mounting box 5 is provided with a slot that matches the C-shaped rods 12.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] The operator first gently secures the insect with the binding rope 3. Then, holding the locking block 9, aligns it with the opening at the top of the mounting box 5. Before insertion, the operator presses the upper part of the C-shaped rod 12 inside the locking block 9, causing its lower part to retract into the slot 11 against the elastic force of the second spring 13, thus reducing the outline of the locking block 9 and allowing it to be smoothly inserted into the mounting box 5. Once the locking block 9 is in place, the operator releases their finger, and the C-shaped rod 12 pops outward under the restoring force of the second spring 13, completing the one-way mechanical locking as shown in the figure. Simultaneously, the magnet 10 at the bottom of the locking block 9 automatically attracts the magnet 10 on the upper surface of the moving block 6 under magnetic force, thus completing the system's rapid preparation.

[0025] When the insect begins to fly, the tension it generates is transmitted to the magnetic coupling point through the binding rope 3 and the locking block 9. This tension, attracted by the magnet 10, causes the moving block 6 to move downwards, compressing the first spring 7. The restoring force generated by the deformation of the first spring 7 is precisely captured by the tension sensor 8 at its bottom and converted into an electrical signal. This signal directly reflects key parameters such as the instantaneous tension and wingbeat frequency of the insect's flight. When the insect's tension suddenly increases and exceeds the attraction force of the magnet 10, the magnetic connection will quickly separate, effectively buffering the impact and achieving dual protection for the fragile insect and the precision tension sensor 8. Crucially, because the C-shaped rod 12 forms a one-way mechanical lock with the mounting box 5, even if the magnet separates, the locking block 9 and the insect will not detach from the system, ensuring that the sample does not escape and the experiment continues. During this process, the monitoring instrument 4, fixed above the mounting frame 2, simultaneously records the insect's flight posture and trajectory. The data acquisition module integrates and processes the signals from the tension sensor 8 and the monitoring instrument 4 and transmits them to the data processing terminal for fusion analysis. Ultimately, the system dynamically simulates the insect's flight trajectory and posture animation on the screen, and generates a comprehensive analysis report containing information such as flight intensity, frequency, and activity cycle, thus intuitively revealing the insect's flight habits.
