Simulated Microgravity Insect Behavior Analysis Device

Abstract

The invention provides a device for simulating microgravity insect behavior analysis, comprising a sealed cabin, a pair of vertical support frames are built in the sealed cabin, a first rotating frame is arranged between the supporting frames, and the first rotating frame is used for A second rotating frame is connected inside through a rotating shaft, the rotating centerline of the first rotating frame and the rotating centerline of the second rotating frame are perpendicular to each other, and an insect culture tray is fixed in the second rotating frame. The cultured organisms in the insect culture tray rotate around two mutually perpendicular rotation axes at the same time, and the gravity direction of the gravitational receptors inside the organism cells is continuously changing, and there is no time to respond, so that it behaves the same as under the condition of space microgravity. Similar, in order to realize the observation experiment of the insect life in the low space microgravity state phase under the gravity environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an insect behavior analysis device for simulating microgravity. Background technique [0002] Microgravity scientific experiments can usually only be carried out on space laboratories, which are expensive and rare opportunities. Even if the opportunity to fly in orbit is obtained, due to the limitation of test space and time, as well as many conditions, many test data still need to be verified through space-ground comparative experiments. However, of the many environmental factors in space, microgravity is the most difficult to simulate on Earth. The existing rotating cell culture devices simulating microgravity at home and abroad are only used for cell tissue culture, not suitable for insect behavior analysis, especially insects cannot survive in the solution in the rotating container. Furthermore, the rotating container only rotates around a fixed horizontal axis, which is a single-axis type. It simulates the effect of micr...

The existing rotating cell culture devices that simulate microgravity at home and abroad are only used for cell tissue culture, not suitable for insect behavior analysis, especially insects cannot survive in the solution in the rotating container

Furthermore, the rotating container only rotates around a fixed horizontal axis, which is a single-axis type. It simulates the effect of microgravity in space and has relatively large limitations.
