Description

Test tube feeding cover structure

This creation is related to the feeding structure of insects, especially a test tube feeding cover structure.

There are more than 10,000 species of ants in the world. There are 300 to 400 different species of ants on the main island of Taiwan alone, and each species of ant has a different body shape, body color, and habits. The more people keep ants as pets.

As shown in Figure 7, the traditional way to raise ants is to use a glass test tube 71, put drinking water at the bottom of the test tube, and block the water with cotton 72. The wet cotton 72 provides the humidity of the ants. Put another cotton 72 on the mouth of the test tube to prevent the ants from escaping. When you need to feed the ants, you must use a straw segment (not shown) and other containers to load the feed (usually in liquid form), open the cotton 72 at the mouth of the test tube, put it in the container, and then plug the cotton 72 back. The process must first repeatedly take out the cotton 72 at the test tube mouth and insert the cotton 72. Not only is it very troublesome. The action of removing and inserting the cotton will also cause the glass test tube 71 to shake excessively, which will cause the ants to panic and take out the test tube mouth When the cotton is 72 hours, the ants may also rush out of the glass test tube 71. Moreover, the feeding method of only using the straws and other containers to load liquid feed can easily cause the ants to drown due to the surface tension of the feed.

In addition, because the glass test tubes 71 are round, they are easy to roll or even break when placed. Therefore, additional small tools such as paper clips 73 must be used to fix the glass test tubes, but they are additionally used by small tools such as paper clips 73. The fixing effect provided is not ideal, and it is easy to fall or fall off due to a slight collision, so there is still room for improvement.

The insertion end is formed with at least one receptacle capable of containing feed, and a closure is formed between the insertion end and the holding end Section so that the insertion end of the food bowl can pass through the through hole and then extend, and the closed section correspondingly shields the through hole.

Preferably, the assembling part is cylindrical, and a retaining edge is formed around the assembling part on the outer periphery of the cover body, and a test tube corresponding to the test tube is formed between the retaining edge and the assembling part. The thickness of the ring at the open end describes the placement space.
