Device for measuring walking and creeping characteristics of insect on three planes

Abstract

The invention provides a device for measuring the walking and creeping characteristics of an insect on three planes. The device is characterized by comprising a creeping drum, a vibration force measuring mechanism, a three-position creeping force measuring mechanism, a three-position fixing base, a side-looking camera and a sound pick-up, wherein the creeping drum is used for accommodating the insect; the vibration force measuring mechanism is used for testing the sole creeping frequency of the insect; the side-looking camera is used for viewing the creeping posture of the insect; the sound pick-up is arranged in the creeping drum, and is connected with vibration force measuring mechanism; and the three-position creeping force measuring mechanism is arranged on the three-position fixing base. The device has the advantages and positive effects that during testing, treatment on a living insect sample is simple, the contact force and contact state of the sole of the insect with the creeping drum can be tested more accurately, the creeping force value of the insect at a flat position, a suspended position and a side position can be tested conveniently, and the range of measuring objects is wider.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a measuring device for insect walking and crawling characteristics on three planes, and belongs to the technical field of measuring biological walking and crawling characteristics. Background technique [0002] Movement is the basic characteristic of animals and the basis of animal predation, escape, reproduction, migration and other behaviors. Pods living on the ground realize driving, stabilizing, maneuvering and other motion behaviors through the interaction between the soles of the feet and the ground. In particular, people often see flies, ants, crickets and other insects crawling quickly on smooth surfaces, and even hang upside down from the ceiling. This has attracted the interest of biologists, and extensive research has been carried out. Studies have found that many insects have sticky pads of various shapes on their feet. These footpads are quick to release, and the traction generated by the footpads controls walki...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Traditional research on insect behavior is mainly based on direct observation and manual recording, and there are many problems such as qualitative arbitrariness, time-consuming and labor-intensive problems

The patent application number is 200910105865.3 "method about the behavior experiment of fruit flies" to stimulate fruit flies by displaying different colors, graphics and motion patterns through LEDs, etc., and then directly observe the behavior of fruit flies; the patent application number is 201020155828.1 "an insect Behavior Monitoring System” provides a device that uses video cameras and video devices to observe insect posture changes and movement behaviors in real time for a long time; the “Animal Behavior Video Analysis System” with patent application number 02113827.3 provides a method for testing animals such as mice However, the test range of the above patents is small, and it is only tested for a single animal; the contact state of each sole cannot be observed, and the test accuracy is low; only the movement on the horizontal plane can be tested Behavior, the purpose of multi-angle observation cannot be achieved; the contact state and force value of the biological foot cannot be observed in real time

The patent application number is CN200810156169.0 "Animal foot-surface contact reaction force test method and system" proposes a test that can simultaneously measure the contact reaction force between each foot and the attached surface when the animal moves on the horizontal plane, vertical plane and ceiling method and system, but the arrangement of the sensor array is too cumbersome and the cost is high
