Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of insect capture, in particular to an insect luring and killing device. Background Art
[0002] Conventional methods for eliminating flying insects, such as mosquitoes and flies, include incense, tablets, and sprays, such as mosquito coils, mosquito-killing tablets, and insecticides. Most of these methods utilize chemical agents. While these agents can achieve the desired insecticide effect, incense, tablets, or sprays require a confined or relatively small space during use. Their effectiveness is unsatisfactory in open spaces or outdoors.
[0003] In recent years, some manufacturers have developed electric insect swatters, such as mosquito swatters and fly swatters, that kill insects by applying a constant current. While this method can effectively kill insects, it lacks the ability to attract them, making it ineffective. Furthermore, due to the limited area of the swatter, it can only kill insects in a small area and requires charging, which consumes electricity.
[0004] In addition to the aforementioned insect control devices, some manufacturers have recently developed insect-killing lamps. These use light to attract insects, then employ air vents to suck them in. While this method also achieves the desired effect, the lamps must be powered continuously, keeping the light constantly on to attract the insects while the air vents remain constantly sucking them in. Insect-killing lamps attract insects and are more effective than other alternatives, such as chemical sprays, electric mosquito swatters, and fly swatters. However, the constant use of insect-killing lamps consumes electricity and generates heat, which can easily increase indoor temperatures in the summer. Furthermore, insect-killing lamps are relatively expensive and therefore more expensive to purchase. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention overcomes the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art and provides an insect luring and killing device, which solves the problem that chemical insecticides can only be used in small spaces or indoors. In addition, the device has the ability to attract flying insects and does not require a power supply, thus saving electricity and having a low cost, making it suitable for large-scale production.
[0006] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:
[0007] An insect trapping device includes a transparent bottle body, which is a discarded plastic packaging bottle. The bottle body comprises a body and a mouth. The inner surface of the body is coated with a fluorescent powder coating, and the outer surface of the body is coated with an insect attractant. The mouth of the mouth has a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the body. The outer surface of the body is coated with an insect attractant that produces an odor to attract flying insects, while the inner surface of the body is coated with a fluorescent powder coating that emits a bright light that also attracts flying insects. The fluorescent coating is brighter in dark environments. After attracting the flying insects, the sticky attractant adheres to the outer surface of the bottle body. Some flying insects fly into the bottle mouth, but the mouth of the bottle mouth is smaller than the inner diameter of the body, preventing them from escaping.
[0008] As an advantage, the device further comprises a bottle cap, wherein the bottle cap is matched with the bottle opening. After the insect trapping and killing device has killed a certain number of flying insects, the bottle cap and the bottle opening can be tightened to prevent the flying insects from escaping from the bottle opening.
[0009] Preferably, the inner diameter of the bottle body is 3-4 times the diameter of the bottle mouth. The bottle mouth aperture is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle body, so flying insects cannot fly out.
[0010] Preferably, the bottle body is provided with a plurality of small holes that are recessed from the outside to the inside. In addition to being able to enter the bottle from the bottle mouth, flying insects can also fly in through the small holes on the bottle body, thereby increasing the effect of trapping flying insects.
[0011] Preferably, the small hole is a variable diameter small hole, and its diameter gradually decreases from the outside to the inside. The gradually decreasing diameter makes it difficult for flying insects that fly in to fly out.
[0012] Preferably, the small holes are evenly arranged on the bottle body. The small holes are evenly distributed so that the bottle body has the same effect of trapping flying insects at all angles. When the device is placed where the flying insects need to be trapped, there is no need to adjust the angle.
[0013] Preferably, the small holes are symmetrical relative to their center, and the angle between the oblique line connecting the small holes from the outside to the inside and the vertical line on the outside of the bottle body is 30-60 degrees. The small holes on the bottle body are pierced with a conical tip, generally using a nearby ballpoint pen tip, pencil tip, or metal conical tip, and the angle of these conical tips is generally between 30-60 degrees. Furthermore, such an angle allows flies resting on the outer oblique surface of the small hole to move into the bottle at a moderate distance due to the attraction of the fluorescent coating inside the bottle. Furthermore, when the distance between the small hole head and the vertical line on the outside of the bottle body remains unchanged, the angle is set to 30 degrees, and the movement distance is relatively longest. If the angle is less than 30 degrees, the movement distance is too long, the reaction time of the flies is prolonged, and the probability of turning around and escaping increases. When the angle is set to 60 degrees, the movement distance is relatively short. If the angle is greater than 60 degrees, although the movement distance is relatively shortened, the inclination angle is too large, and the stability of the flies resting on the oblique surface is weakened, which is not conducive to the flies staying.
[0014] Preferably, the angle between the oblique line connecting the small holes from outside to inside and the vertical line outside the bottle body is 45 degrees. When the angle is set to 45 degrees, the flying insects move a moderate distance and the inclination angle is moderate, which facilitates the flying insects to move from outside the bottle to inside the bottle.
[0015] The design starting point, concept and beneficial effects of the utility model using the above technical solution are:
[0016] The insect trapping and killing device of the present invention has a simple structure, is inexpensive, and is relatively environmentally friendly. The bottles used in the device can be discarded plastic packaging bottles, which greatly reduces the waste of resources. It can also be used outdoors or in large areas. Specifically, when used outdoors or in large spaces, increasing the number of devices of the present invention can achieve the effect of catching and killing flying insects on a large scale. More importantly, the device does not require the use of a power supply, saves electricity, has no thermal effect, and does not waste resources. It can not only utilize waste, but also achieve a good effect of catching and killing flying insects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] In the description of the present invention, the term "at least one" refers to one or more than one, unless otherwise explicitly defined. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0026] The specific implementation of the utility model is as follows:
[0027] Embodiment: The present invention provides an insect trapping and killing device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the bottle comprises a discarded plastic packaging bottle, such as a mineral water bottle or a beverage bottle, to recycle the waste. The transparent bottle comprises a bottle body 1, a bottle mouth 6, and a bottle cap. A fluorescent coating 2 is provided on the inner surface of the bottle body 1, and an insect attractant coating 3 is provided on the outer surface of the bottle body 1. The diameter of the bottle mouth 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle body 1.
[0028] The manufacturing process of the insect attracting and killing device of the present invention is very simple. First, put the fluorescent powder into the bottle from the bottle mouth 6 and shake it evenly to form a fluorescent powder coating 2 on the inner surface of the bottle body 1; then evenly apply the insect attractant on the outer surface of the bottle body 1 to form an insect attractant coating 3 on the outer surface of the bottle body 1; when in use, the bottle mouth 6 is not covered and remains in an open state, and the fluorescent powder coating 2 can emit bright light to attract flying insects, so that the flying insects approach the bottle coated with the insect attractant coating 3. The insect attractant coating 3 has a certain viscosity, and the insect attractant coating 3 can stick the flying insects to the outer surface of the bottle body 1; most of the insect attractants on the market are sticky. The insect attractant in this embodiment uses the Quinke brand attractant. The insect attractant mentioned in the utility model and the attractants, adhesives, etc. commonly known on the market are all the same type of products, and the effects are similar, but the names are different. Some flying insects fly into the bottle body 1 through the bottle mouth 6. Due to the large interior space of the bottle body 1, the inner diameter of the bottle body 1 in this embodiment is 3-4 times the diameter of the bottle mouth 6, though this may vary slightly from one plastic bottle to another. However, the diameter of the bottle mouth 6 of most plastic bottles is sufficiently small relative to the inner diameter of the bottle body 1 that it is difficult for flying insects to escape after entering the bottle body 1, thus achieving the purpose of trapping flying insects. This device not only traps flying insects on the outer surface of the bottle body 1 but also draws them in through the bottle mouth 6, achieving a dual insect-killing effect. Once a certain number of flying insects have been captured, the bottle cap is tightened to prevent the flying insects from escaping. After being trapped within the bottle for a certain period of time, the flying insects naturally die.
[0029] Furthermore, most commercially available insect attractants, in addition to being sticky, also possess a flavor and carry pheromones that attract flying insects. The Quinque brand insect attractant used in this embodiment is both sticky and flavorful. Therefore, the coating 3 on the outer surface of the bottle 1 of this embodiment's insect trapping and killing device attracts flying insects through smell, while the bright light emitted by the fluorescent coating 2 on the inner surface of the bottle 1 also attracts flying insects visually. This combined sense of smell and vision significantly enhances the insect attraction effect. In dark environments, the bright light emitted by the fluorescent coating 2 is particularly noticeable, resulting in a more effective insect-killing effect.
[0030] As an improvement, Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of small holes 4 are punched on the bottle body 1 using a conical tip, such as a pencil tip, a ballpoint pen tip, or a metal conical tip, from the outside of the bottle to the inside of the bottle. The holes 4 are conical holes, and the diameter gradually decreases from the outside of the bottle to the inside of the bottle. This design makes it difficult for flying insects to get out after flying in, thereby achieving the purpose of catching and killing flying insects. Furthermore, the small holes 4 are symmetrical relative to the center of the small hole 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in this view, the apertures 4 are symmetrical about the centerline m. The angle o between the oblique line n connecting the apertures 4 from the outside to the inside and the outer vertical line l of the bottle body 1 is 45°, and the outer vertical line l of the bottle body 1 is perpendicular to the centerline m of the aperture 4. This 45° angle ensures that flying insects resting on the outer oblique surface 5 of the aperture are attracted by the fluorescent coating 2 and move into the bottle with a moderate travel distance and angle, facilitating their movement from outside to inside. Some flying insects fly directly into the bottle through the aperture 4, while a smaller number crawl along the outer oblique surface 5 of the aperture to enter the bottle. Once inside, the flying insects become trapped within the bottle body 1, thus achieving the purpose of trapping the flying insects.
