Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of disease prevention and control technology, and more specifically, to a mosquito oviduct with remote monitoring capabilities. Background Technology

[0002] Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya, and yellow fever, posing one of the most important public health problems in my country and the world. Therefore, using mosquito traps to capture Aedes mosquitoes and monitoring the captured (pregnant) mosquitoes to establish a comprehensive disease surveillance and risk assessment system is an effective method for evaluating the public health impact of Aedes mosquitoes as vectors.

[0003] In related technologies, mosquito traps and ovipositors are deployed in pre-defined areas to capture Aedes mosquitoes. Technicians then periodically, for example, every four days, to observe and monitor data, including the number of mosquitoes attracted or the presence of eggs. Monitoring of Aedes mosquitoes is achieved based on these observations. However, this monitoring method requires technicians to periodically visit the areas where the traps are deployed to collect data, resulting in high costs and low efficiency. Furthermore, the periodically collected monitoring data lacks real-time accuracy, serving only as average monitoring data for the collection period, which is unfavorable for fine-grained time-based risk assessments and emergency response assessments for diseases such as dengue fever. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function to improve monitoring efficiency.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function, comprising: a box top cover, a attractor body, and a monitoring circuit board, wherein...

[0006] The inner wall of the box top cover is provided with internal threads, and the upper outer wall of the trap body is provided with external threads. The box top cover is fixed to the upper part of the trap body through the internal and external threads.

[0007] On the top cover of the box, facing the body of the trap, there are one or more mosquito-attracting tubes that extend into the body of the trap. The top cover of the box also has a movable groove, and the mosquito-attracting tubes are located below the movable groove. The movable groove is equipped with a movable door and a movable door driver, with each movable door corresponding to a movable door driver.

[0008] Inside the bottom of the trap body, there is a first protrusion extending upward for Aedes mosquitoes to lay eggs or rest, and a second protrusion containing an attractant to attract Aedes mosquitoes. The second protrusion is located above the first protrusion. The second protrusion and the first protrusion are offset from each other or partially overlap in projection. Below the external thread of the trap body, there is a third protrusion protruding towards the center of the trap body.

[0009] The monitoring circuit board has a cylindrical hole corresponding to the mosquito-attracting tube on the top cover of the box. The mosquito-attracting tube passes through the cylindrical hole, and the monitoring circuit board is fixed on the third protrusion.

[0010] The monitoring circuit board includes a mosquito entry monitoring module, a microprocessor, and a 4G communication module.

[0011] The microprocessor is used to output monitoring instructions to the mosquito entry monitoring module according to the preset infrared monitoring cycle, and to obtain the number of the first mosquitoes entering the mosquito trap based on the received light intensity information and the transmitted light intensity information, and to send the obtained number of the first mosquitoes to the 4G communication module.

[0012] When mosquitoes enter the monitoring module, which is located on the monitoring circuit board directly opposite the mosquito trap, it receives a monitoring command and then obtains the received light intensity information and the emitted light intensity information of the infrared light through infrared transmission and reception. The received light intensity information and the emitted light intensity information are then sent to the microprocessor.

[0013] The 4G communication module, connected to the microprocessor, sends the first mosquito count information received from the microprocessor and the current timestamp information to a pre-set server.

[0014] Optionally, the mosquito-attracting tube is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, extending into the body of the trap. The top cover of the box, except for the mosquito-attracting tube, is made of light-blocking material, and the trap body and the mosquito-attracting tube are made of transparent material.

[0017] An infrared transmitter is installed on the inner wall of the monitoring circuit board on the side that is in contact with the mosquito attractor. It receives the monitoring command output by the infrared monitoring timer and emits infrared light towards the mosquito attractor.

[0018] An infrared receiver is installed on the inner wall of the monitoring circuit board opposite to the infrared transmitter. It receives the light intensity information of the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter and outputs the light intensity information to the monitor.

[0019] The monitor obtains the number of mosquitoes entering the mosquito trap based on the received light intensity information and the light intensity information of the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter, and sends the obtained mosquito count information to the 4G communication module.

[0020] Optionally, when no mosquitoes fly in, the intensity of the received infrared light is similar to the intensity of the emitted infrared light. When mosquitoes fly in, they block the infrared light emitted by the infrared light transmitter, causing the intensity of the received infrared light to be weaker relative to the intensity of the emitted infrared light. Based on the intensity of the emitted infrared light and the intensity of the received infrared light, it is determined whether mosquitoes have entered. Furthermore, based on the intensity difference between the received light intensity information and the intensity information of the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter, the number of mosquitoes that flew in is determined.

[0021] Optionally, the monitoring circuit board further includes:

[0022] The first image module is set at the position of the monitoring circuit board facing the mosquito trap. After receiving the monitoring command sent by the microprocessor, it takes an image of the mosquito trap and sends the captured image information to the microprocessor.

[0023] The microprocessor is also used to identify the second mosquito count information contained in the image information based on the received image information and a pre-built mosquito identification model. If the error between the second mosquito count information and the first mosquito count information is within a preset error range, no processing is performed. If the error between the second mosquito count information and the first mosquito count information exceeds the preset error range, the image information is sent to the 4G communication module.

[0024] The 4G communication module is also used to send the received image information to a pre-set server.

[0025] Optionally, the first image module includes an image sensor and a flash LED, wherein the flash LED is turned on after receiving a monitoring command sent by the microprocessor, the image sensor captures image information based on the flash LED, and sends the captured image information to the microprocessor.

[0026] Optionally, the monitoring circuit board further includes:

[0027] The second image module is set on the monitoring circuit board at the position corresponding to the first protrusion. It takes pictures of the spawning according to the preset spawning monitoring cycle and sends the captured spawning image information to the 4G communication module through the microprocessor.

[0028] Optionally, an air intake hole is provided on the inner wall of the trap body corresponding to the first protrusion, and the mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function further includes:

[0029] A miniature fan is fixed to the trap body through an air intake hole. It draws air out of the trap body to create a negative pressure channel from the mosquito-attracting tube on the top of the box cover to the trap body, thereby driving mosquitoes in the external environment to enter the trap body through the negative pressure channel.

[0030] Optionally, the mosquito ovipositor with remote monitoring function further includes:

[0031] The power supply module is connected to the mosquito entry monitoring module, the microprocessor, the 4G communication module, the first image module, and the second image module, respectively.

It converts the current from the rechargeable battery into DC-DC values ​​and outputs them to the mosquito entry monitoring module, the microprocessor, the 4G communication module, the first image module, and the second image module.

[0036] The mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: a box top cover, a trap body, and a monitoring circuit board. The box top cover has an internal thread on its inner sidewall, and the trap body has an external thread on its upper outer sidewall. The box top cover is fixed to the upper part of the trap body via the internal and external threads. One or more mosquito-attracting tubes extending into the trap body are provided on the box top cover facing the trap body. A movable groove is also provided inside the box top cover, with the mosquito-attracting tubes positioned below the movable groove. A movable door and a movable door actuator are provided within the movable groove, with each movable door corresponding to a movable door actuator. Inside the bottom of the trap body, a first protrusion extending upwards for Aedes mosquitoes to lay eggs or rest, and a second protrusion containing an attractant for Aedes mosquitoes, are provided. The second protrusion is located above the first protrusion, and the second and first protrusions are offset from each other or partially overlap in projection. Below the external threads of the trap body, a third protrusion protruding towards the center of the trap body is provided. Monitoring... The circuit board has a cylindrical hole corresponding to the mosquito-attracting tube on the top cover of the box. The mosquito-attracting tube passes through the cylindrical hole, and the monitoring circuit board is fixed on the third protrusion. The monitoring circuit board includes a mosquito entry monitoring module, a microprocessor, and a 4G communication module. The microprocessor outputs monitoring commands to the mosquito entry monitoring module according to a preset infrared monitoring cycle. Based on the received and transmitted light intensity information, it obtains the number of mosquitoes entering the mosquito-attracting tube and sends the obtained number of mosquitoes to the 4G communication module. The mosquito entry monitoring module is located on the monitoring circuit board directly opposite the mosquito-attracting tube.

In this way, by deploying a monitoring circuit board in the mosquito attractant and setting up a technical solution for monitoring Aedes mosquitoes on the monitoring circuit board, the monitoring data can be remotely collected and transmitted using the monitoring circuit board, thereby realizing real-time dynamic remote monitoring of the monitoring data. This can reduce the cost of monitoring data collection and improve the efficiency of monitoring data collection.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] In related technologies, the monitoring method of having technicians periodically collect data on the number of mosquitoes and the number of eggs in mosquito traps is costly and time-consuming, resulting in low monitoring efficiency.

[0046] Dengue fever is a global public health priority infectious disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Monitoring Aedes mosquitoes using ovipositors allows for the construction of relatively mature preventative risk rating and emergency assessment systems based on the acquired monitoring data. However, this monitoring method relies on experienced technicians operating at the deployment sites, resulting in long data acquisition times, low efficiency, and poor accuracy and real-time performance of the data, leading to insufficient timeliness and sensitivity, and ultimately low efficiency in monitoring Aedes mosquitoes.

[0047] In this embodiment, by deploying an intelligent monitoring circuit board within the mosquito oviduct, and then using the monitoring circuit board to remotely collect monitoring data, the data is transmitted via an Internet of Things (IoT) device embedded in the circuit board, enabling real-time dynamic remote monitoring of dengue mosquitoes within the region. Thus, by establishing a monitoring system based on the monitoring data acquired from the mosquito oviduct with remote monitoring capabilities, a daily routine risk monitoring system for dengue vectors can be established nationwide or even globally. By linking this system with dengue epidemiological data, a nationwide or even global dengue outbreak risk monitoring system can be established, providing a solution for dengue monitoring at the national and global levels.

[0048] This invention provides a mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring capabilities, which will be described below through embodiments.

[0049] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a mosquito oviduct with remote monitoring function provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function includes: a top cover 11, a monitoring circuit board 12, and a trap body 13, wherein,

[0050] The inner wall of the box top cover 11 is provided with an internal thread, and the upper outer wall of the trap body 13 is provided with an external thread. The box top cover 11 is fixed to the upper part of the trap body 13 through the internal and external threads.

[0051] One or more mosquito-attracting tubes extending into the body of the trap are provided on the top cover 11 of the box, facing the trap body 13.

[0052] Inside the bottom of the trap body 13, there is a first protrusion extending upward for Aedes mosquitoes to lay eggs or rest, and a second protrusion containing an attractant to attract Aedes mosquitoes. The second protrusion is located above the first protrusion. The second protrusion and the first protrusion are offset from each other or partially overlap in projection. Below the external thread of the trap body 13, there is a third protrusion protruding towards the center of the trap body 13.

[0053] The monitoring circuit board 12 is provided with a cylindrical hole corresponding to the mosquito attracting tube opened on the top cover of the box. The mosquito attracting tube passes through the cylindrical hole, and the monitoring circuit board 12 is fixed on the third protrusion.

[0054] The monitoring circuit board 12 includes a mosquito entry monitoring module, a microprocessor, and a 4G communication module, wherein...

[0055] The microprocessor is used to output monitoring instructions to the mosquito entry monitoring module according to the preset infrared monitoring cycle, and to obtain the number of the first mosquitoes entering the mosquito trap based on the received light intensity information and the transmitted light intensity information, and to send the obtained number of the first mosquitoes to the 4G communication module.

[0056] When mosquitoes enter the monitoring module, which is located on the monitoring circuit board directly opposite the mosquito trap, it receives a monitoring command and then obtains the received light intensity information and the emitted light intensity information of the infrared light through infrared transmission and reception. The received light intensity information and the emitted light intensity information are then sent to the microprocessor.

[0057] The 4G communication module, connected to the microprocessor, sends the first mosquito count information received from the microprocessor and the current timestamp information to a pre-set server.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the mosquito entry monitoring module detects a signal of mosquito entry, it reports the time and number of mosquitoes entering to the background server.

[0059] In this embodiment, as an optional implementation, an infrared monitoring cycle is set based on the mosquito's living and movement habits in narrow channels and the space of the mosquito-attracting tube where infrared light emission is cut off. For example, after installing and debugging a mosquito attractant with remote monitoring function, the mosquito enters the monitoring module and emits an infrared light net. Based on the mosquito's living and movement habits in narrow channels, the crossing time required for the mosquito to cross the corresponding infrared light net is estimated, and the infrared monitoring cycle is set to be equal to this crossing time. As another optional implementation, considering the need for low power consumption of the device, the infrared monitoring cycle can also be set to be equal to the sum of the crossing time and a preset time threshold. The mosquito enters the monitoring module and is periodically triggered by the microprocessor according to the infrared monitoring cycle.

[0060] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the monitoring circuit board is fixed to the third protrusion by means of soldering, gluing, etc.

[0061] In this embodiment, by deploying an intelligent monitoring circuit board in a mosquito ootrap with remote monitoring capabilities, the number of mosquitoes entering the ootrap is acquired. The monitoring data containing the mosquito count information is transmitted to the server using a 4G communication module (Internet of Things). This eliminates the need for experienced technicians to periodically visit the location where the mosquito ootrap is deployed to obtain monitoring data, reducing the cost of data acquisition and improving the efficiency of data acquisition. Furthermore, after acquiring the mosquito count information, it is transmitted to the server in real time with timestamp information, improving the accuracy and real-time nature of the monitoring data. This enables real-time dynamic monitoring of dengue mosquito vector density within the region.

[0062] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the top cover of the box is cylindrical and made of a light-blocking material, such as black plastic that has a good attraction and retention effect on Aedes mosquitoes, while the body of the trap is made of a transparent material, such as colorless plastic that is conducive to mosquito egg-laying.

[0063] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the diameter of the box top cover is 75mm, the diameter of the trap body is 70mm, and the height of the mosquito and ovipositor is 100mm. Three mosquito-attracting channels are provided on the box top cover, forming a funnel shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. As an optional embodiment, the top diameter of the mosquito-attracting channel is 12mm, the bottom diameter is 7mm, and the height is 21mm. The radius of the first protrusion is 20mm, and filter paper of a similar color to the first protrusion can be attached to it for Aedes mosquitoes to lay eggs.

[0064] In this embodiment, the attractant includes, but is not limited to, glucose water. The trap body is filled with water below the height of the first protrusion to provide a humid environment. As an optional embodiment, filter paper is wrapped around the top of the first protrusion and extends from the top to the bottom to contact the water, keeping the filter paper moist. The box top cover is made of black plastic, which can create a relatively cool environment inside the trap body. Aedes mosquitoes enter the trap body through the mosquito-attracting inlet on the box top cover. The filter paper attached to the first protrusion at the bottom of the bottle is partially soaked with water, forming a moist and rough surface, creating an environment suitable for mosquitoes to lay eggs.

[0065] In this embodiment, the mosquito-attracting tube is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, extending into the body of the trap. This facilitates the entry of mosquitoes into the trap while effectively preventing them from flying out. It can be applied to scenarios where mosquitoes are attracted to lay eggs or adult Aedes mosquitoes are captured for dengue virus monitoring.

[0066] In this embodiment, by adding a monitoring circuit board, i.e., an intelligent monitoring module, to a mosquito attractor with remote monitoring capabilities, a mosquito attractor with remote monitoring functionality is provided that enables intelligent monitoring. As an optional embodiment, the monitoring circuit board is a circuit board with intelligent monitoring capabilities.

[0067] In this embodiment, a circuit board with intelligent monitoring is installed inside the mosquito trap body of a mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function. Specifically, the circuit board is placed on the third protrusion on the trap body. This is an optional embodiment. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the monitoring circuit board structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 As shown, corresponding to the case where there are three mosquito attractors, for example, three hexagonal mosquito attractors (with hexagonal inlets), the monitoring circuit board has three hexagonal through holes (tube holes), namely the first hexagonal through hole 201, the second hexagonal through hole 202, and the third hexagonal through hole 203. The three hexagonal mosquito attractors pass through their respective three hexagonal through holes. As an optional embodiment, the tube holes are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, matching the mosquito attractors.

[0068] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the microprocessor includes an infrared monitoring timer and a monitor, and the mosquito entry monitoring module includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, wherein...

[0069] An infrared monitoring timer, set in the monitoring circuit board, is used to wake up the device according to the infrared monitoring cycle preset on the monitoring circuit board and output monitoring commands to the infrared transmitter.

[0070] An infrared transmitter is installed on the inner wall of the monitoring circuit board on the side that is in contact with the mosquito attractor. It receives the monitoring command output by the infrared monitoring timer and emits infrared light towards the mosquito attractor.

[0071] An infrared receiver is installed on the inner wall of the monitoring circuit board opposite to the infrared transmitter. It receives the light intensity information of the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter and outputs the light intensity information to the monitor.

[0072] The monitor obtains the number of mosquitoes entering the mosquito trap based on the received light intensity information and the light intensity information of the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter, and sends the obtained mosquito count information to the 4G communication module.

[0073] In this embodiment, an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver form an infrared transmitting / receiving array 204. As an optional embodiment, the infrared transmitter and receiver in the infrared transmitting / receiving array can be configured as one or more corresponding units. The infrared transmitting / receiving array forms an infrared grating through infrared light transmission, wherein the infrared transmitter is the infrared light emitting end of the infrared grating, and the receiving array (one or more infrared receivers) is the infrared light receiving end of the infrared grating. When no mosquitoes fly in, the intensity of the infrared light received by the receiving array is similar to the intensity of the emitted infrared light. When mosquitoes fly in, they block the infrared light emitted by the infrared light emitting end, causing the intensity of the infrared light received by the receiving array to be significantly weaker than the emitted infrared light intensity. Therefore, based on the intensity of the emitted infrared light and the intensity of the received infrared light, it can be determined whether mosquitoes have entered. Furthermore, if multiple mosquitoes fly in, the blocked area is larger, resulting in a greater light intensity difference. Therefore, the number of mosquitoes that flew in can also be determined based on the intensity difference between the received light intensity information and the intensity information of the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter. As another optional embodiment, since mosquitoes enter and their obstruction provides volume information, the volume of the obstructed area can be determined based on the light intensity difference. This volume can be compared with a pre-set mosquito volume threshold to determine the number of mosquitoes that have entered. Alternatively, the signal from the infrared receiver when the infrared emitting element is not emitting infrared light can be used as baseline data, and the signal from the infrared receiver when the infrared emitting element is emitting infrared light can be used as monitoring data. The difference between these two data points serves as reference data for subsequent monitoring to eliminate environmental influences. When mosquitoes enter, they disturb the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting element. This disturbance includes the mosquitoes obstructing or reflecting the infrared light, causing a change in the signal intensity received by the infrared receiver. This change is then compared with the aforementioned reference data to determine whether mosquitoes have entered.

[0074] In this embodiment, for each mosquito-attracting moth, an infrared transmitting / receiving array consisting of an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver is set up. As an optional embodiment, the number of mosquito-attracting moths is 3. The mosquito entry monitoring module includes: a first infrared transmitting / receiving array, a second infrared transmitting / receiving array, and a third infrared transmitting / receiving array. Each infrared transmitting / receiving array is provided with multiple pairs of infrared transmitting / receiving elements. Each pair of infrared transmitting / receiving elements is used to monitor the mosquito-attracting moth, which is a mosquito-attracting channel of a mosquito-attracting oviduct with remote monitoring function.

[0075] In this embodiment, to improve the accuracy of mosquito count monitoring, as an optional embodiment, the monitoring circuit board further includes:

[0076] The first image module is set at the position of the monitoring circuit board facing the mosquito trap. After receiving the monitoring command sent by the microprocessor, it takes an image of the mosquito trap and sends the captured image information to the microprocessor.

[0077] The microprocessor is also used to identify the second mosquito count information contained in the image information based on the received image information and a pre-built mosquito identification model. If the error between the second mosquito count information and the first mosquito count information is within a preset error range, no processing is performed. If the error between the second mosquito count information and the first mosquito count information exceeds the preset error range, the image information is sent to the 4G communication module.

[0078] The 4G communication module is also used to send the received image information to a pre-set server.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first image module and the mosquito entry monitoring module can be located at different positions in the vertical direction of the mosquito attractor, or at different positions in the same horizontal direction of the mosquito attractor. The server includes, but is not limited to, a user terminal and a backend server. The first image module includes, but is not limited to, a digital camera. As an optional embodiment, the digital camera includes: an image sensor and a flash LED, wherein the flash LED is turned on after receiving a monitoring command sent by the microprocessor, and the image sensor captures image information based on the flash LED, and sends the captured image information to the microprocessor. As an optional embodiment, the image information can be multiple frames of images captured according to a set shooting cycle; as another optional embodiment, the image information can also be captured video.

[0080] In this embodiment, the image sensor is an important component of the digital camera. Depending on the component, the image sensor includes, but is not limited to, a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor and a metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first image module is used to acquire high-definition images from a mosquito attractor with remote monitoring function and transmit them to a microprocessor. The microprocessor then identifies mosquitoes and counts them based on a pre-built mosquito identification model and compares the results with the mosquito count identified based on light intensity information to improve the accuracy of mosquito count identification. If the two are inconsistent, the image information is sent to a backend server so that the backend server can perform manual analysis based on the image information to correct the received first mosquito count information.

[0082] In this embodiment, the oviposition of mosquitoes can also be monitored. Therefore, as another optional embodiment, the monitoring circuit board further includes:

[0083] The second image module is set on the monitoring circuit board at the position corresponding to the first protrusion. It takes pictures of the spawning according to the preset spawning monitoring cycle and sends the captured spawning image information to the 4G communication module through the microprocessor.

[0084] In this embodiment, a 4G communication module is used to send oviposition image information to a backend server. This allows the backend server to process the oviposition image information sent by each trap according to a pre-set mosquito egg identification strategy, determining whether mosquito eggs are present and the number of eggs in the remotely monitored oviposition trap. Of course, in practical applications, the processing of light intensity information and image information can also be performed on the backend server to share its resources; this embodiment does not limit this approach.

[0085] In this embodiment, unified power management is used to power the monitoring circuit board. Therefore, as another optional embodiment, the mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function further includes:

[0086] The power supply module is connected to the mosquito entry monitoring module, the microprocessor, the 4G communication module, the first image module, and the second image module, respectively.

[0087] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the power module includes a rechargeable battery, a solar panel, and a DC-DC converter, wherein...

[0088] The rechargeable battery is mounted on the monitoring circuit board.

[0089] The solar panel is installed on the outer wall of the mosquito trap body with remote monitoring function, covering the outer wall of the trap body, and connected to the rechargeable battery.

[0090] The DC-DC converter is installed on the monitoring circuit board and connected to the rechargeable battery. It converts the current from the rechargeable battery into DC-DC values ​​and outputs them to the mosquito entry monitoring module, the microprocessor, the 4G communication module, the first image module, and the second image module.

[0091] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the rechargeable battery includes, but is not limited to, lithium batteries and solar cells, which provide power to each module. The microprocessor controls the power supply of each module to turn on and off, so as to achieve a low power consumption operation effect.

[0092] In this embodiment, as an optional embodiment, a suction hole is provided on the inner wall of the trap body corresponding to the first protrusion. The mosquito and egg attractor with remote monitoring function also includes:

[0093] A miniature fan is fixed to the trap body through an air intake hole. It draws air out of the trap body to create a negative pressure channel from the mosquito-attracting tube on the top of the box cover to the trap body, thereby driving mosquitoes in the external environment to enter the trap body through the negative pressure channel.

[0094] In this embodiment, as another optional embodiment, a movable groove is also provided inside the top cover of the box, and the mosquito attractant is arranged below the movable groove. A movable door and a movable door driver are provided in the movable groove, and each movable door corresponds to a movable door driver.

[0095] After receiving information that a mosquito has entered, the movable door actuator drives the movable door to close the entrance of the corresponding mosquito trap.

[0096] In this embodiment, each movable door controls the entrance of a mosquito trap. Under normal conditions, the movable door does not block the entrance of the mosquito trap, allowing mosquitoes to enter the trap body through the entrance. When a mosquito enters the mosquito trap but does not reach the space inside the trap body, the movable door closes the entrance of the mosquito trap to prevent the mosquito from flying out and to drive the mosquito into the trap body.

[0097] In this embodiment, the 4G communication module sends the received information to the backend server for data analysis, or plots a time-related curve based on the analysis results, and establishes a monitoring system for Aedes mosquitoes based on the data analysis or the plotted time-related curve.
