Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of red imported fire ant control equipment. More specifically, this utility model relates to a device specifically designed for killing red imported fire ants and their nests in mulberry orchards. Background Technology
[0002] Red imported fire ants not only feed on mulberry seedlings, tender parts of roots and stems, as well as fruits and seeds, damaging mulberry tree development and affecting mulberry orchard management, but they are also aggressive towards humans. Therefore, the extermination and control of red imported fire ants and their nests is of great significance to mulberry orchard management.
[0003] Currently, the main control method for red imported fire ants is chemical control, using contact toxicants. Specific methods include baiting, powdered toxicants used to kill ants in their nests, and liquid toxicants used to kill them. Baiting involves evenly scattering poisoned bait around the nest, allowing the ants to carry it in while foraging, thus killing them. However, this method requires avoiding rainy weather and has specific timing requirements. Powdered toxicants are scattered around the nest, then the nest is disturbed, and once worker ants appear in large numbers, the powder is quickly and evenly applied to them. However, this method is not thorough, is costly, and requires avoiding windy weather. Liquid toxicants are sprayed around the nest in a ring approximately 25 cm wide. Apply a 1 cm layer of pesticide solution, then dig up the ant nest or pour the solution directly onto the nest to allow it to penetrate the entire nest and kill the ants. However, this method of applying the pesticide solution can easily spread and splash onto the mulberry leaves, causing contamination. Summary of the Invention
[0004] One object of this invention is to solve at least the problems described above and to provide at least the advantages that will be explained later.
[0005] To achieve these objectives and other advantages according to this utility model, a device specifically designed for exterminating red imported fire ants and their nests in mulberry orchards is provided, comprising:

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a device specifically for exterminating red imported fire ants and their nests in mulberry orchards, comprising:
[0035] The cover 1 has its opening facing downwards. Multiple liquid medicine tubes 2 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the cover 1. Each liquid medicine tube 2 has multiple outlets, and each outlet is equipped with a nozzle 3. The outlet end of the nozzle 3 faces the center of the cover 1. Specifically, the cover 1 is made of a lightweight yet sturdy material, such as stainless steel or durable plastic, for easy handling and operation. The cover 1 can be conical or hemispherical in shape, with its opening facing downwards, to facilitate covering red imported fire ants and their nests. Multiple liquid medicine tubes 2 are evenly fixed to the inner side of the cover 1 by welding or fasteners. The multiple liquid medicine tubes 2 are evenly distributed along the inner side of the cover 1 to ensure that the liquid medicine can be evenly sprayed to every corner of the ant nest. Each liquid medicine tube 2 has multiple outlets equidistantly spaced along its length, and each outlet is equipped with a nozzle 3. The outlet end of each nozzle 3 faces the center of the cover 1 to ensure that the liquid medicine can be more effectively sprayed into the ant nest to kill the red imported fire ants.
[0036] The multi-port tube 4 has one inlet end and multiple outlet ends. The multiple outlet ends of the multi-port tube 4 are connected one-to-one with the inlets of multiple medicine tubes 2. The inlet end of the multi-port tube 4 is sealed and passes through the cover 1. Specifically, the multi-port tube 4 can be made of a corrosion-resistant and pressure-resistant alloy material to withstand the chemical erosion that the medicine may cause. The inlet end of the multi-port tube 4 can pass through the top of the cover 1 through an opening in the cover 1 and is provided with a sealing gasket to ensure the sealing of the connection between the opening and the multi-port tube 4 to prevent red imported fire ants from crawling out. The multi-port tube 4 has one inlet end and an equal number of outlet ends to the number of medicine tubes 2. Each outlet end is connected to the inlet of the corresponding medicine tube 2 through a sealing joint to ensure the leakage-free transmission of medicine. The inlet end of the multi-port tube 4 can be a threaded interface for easy connection with the hose 6 and is provided with a sealing gasket to ensure the sealing of the connection.
[0037] The liquid tank 5 is equipped with a pump body. The inlet of the pump body is connected to the liquid tank 5 via an inlet pipe, and the outlet of the pump body is connected to a flexible hose 6. One end of the flexible hose 6 is connected to the inlet of the multi-port pipe 4. Specifically, the liquid tank 5 contains a special agent for killing red imported fire ants, such as high-efficiency cypermethrin or 80% dichlorvos. The pump body can be located at the bottom or top of the liquid tank 5. The inlet of the pump body extends directly into the bottom of the liquid tank 5 through a corrosion-resistant inlet pipe to ensure that the liquid can be drawn. The outlet of the pump body is connected to the inlet of the multi-port pipe 4 via a pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant flexible hose 6. After the pump body is started, the liquid is drawn, pressurized, and sent into the multi-port pipe 4, then distributed to each liquid pipe 2, and finally sprayed evenly onto the ant nest covered by the cover 1 through the nozzle 3 to achieve the beneficial effect of killing the red imported fire ants in the nest.
[0038] In the above technical solution, the location and size of the red imported fire ant nest in the mulberry orchard must first be confirmed. Then, according to the severity of the red imported fire ant infestation and the instructions for use of the pesticide, an appropriate concentration of pesticide solution for ant control is prepared in the pesticide tank 5 and stirred evenly. The cover 1 is then placed with its opening facing downwards, accurately covering the red imported fire ant nest. The pump is then turned on, and the pesticide solution is drawn, pressurized, and sent into the multi-port pipe 4, and then distributed to each pesticide pipe 2. The solution is then evenly sprayed through the nozzle 3 onto the ant nest area covered by the cover 1, achieving the beneficial effect of killing the red imported fire ants in the nest with the pesticide solution. The cover 1 can cover the red imported fire ant nest, and the pesticide solution flows through the pesticide tank 5, the hose 6, the pesticide pipe 2, and the nozzle 3 to spray onto the ant nest. The cover 1 helps to reduce the splashing of pesticide solution onto the mulberry leaves in the mulberry orchard, reducing pollution to the mulberry leaves.
[0039] In another technique, the top of the cover 1 is provided with a perforation 11; specifically, the perforation 11 facilitates the rotation of the rotating rod 8 into the cover 1.
[0040] It also includes the nest-breaking structure 7, which includes:
[0041] A rotating rod 8 is vertically arranged and movably inserted into the perforation 11. Specifically, the rotating rod 8 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, to ensure its durability and stability during use. The diameter of the rotating rod 8 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the perforation 11 to maintain a certain gap and allow it to be movably inserted into the perforation 11. The length of the rotating rod 8 can be set according to the depth of the red imported fire ant nest, preferably more than 1 m, to ensure that the drill bit 10 can penetrate deep into the nest.
[0042] The rotary driver 9 has its output shaft coaxially mounted on the upper end of the rotating rod 8. Specifically, the rotary driver 9 can be driven by electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic methods. The rotating rod 8 can be coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the rotary driver 9 by welding. The rotary driver 9 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate.
[0043] A drill bit 10 is located at the lower end of the rotating rod 8. Specifically, the drill bit 10 can be made of a high-strength, wear-resistant material, such as cemented carbide or diamond, to ensure that it is not easily worn or damaged during use. The drill bit 10 can be a sharp cone or spiral shape to easily penetrate the soil and tunnels of the ant nest. The rotating rod 8 rotates to drive the drill bit 10 to rotate, so as to use the force of the rotation of the drill bit 10 to destroy the ant nest.
[0044] In the above technical solution, the cover 1 is stably placed over the ant nest, ensuring that the perforation 11 on the top of the cover 1 is aligned with the center of the ant nest. A drill bit 10 is installed at the lower end of the rotating rod 8, and then the rotating rod 8 is inserted into the perforation 11. The rotating driver 9 is started, and the output shaft of the rotating driver 9 rotates, driving the rotating rod 8, which is coaxially connected to it, to rotate together. As the rotating rod 8 rotates, the drill bit 10, with its sharp shape and powerful rotational force, begins to penetrate deep into the ant nest and gradually destroys the ant nest and ant tunnels, so that the pesticide can be sprayed into the interior of the ant nest, achieving the beneficial effect of all-round extermination of red imported fire ants.
[0045] In another technical solution, a lifting rope 14 is provided on the outer side of the cover 1; specifically, the lifting rope 14 can be made of nylon, polyester fiber or cotton rope, and the two ends of the lifting rope 14 can be nailed to the outer side wall of the cover 1. The lifting rope 14 allows the user to easily grasp the lifting rope 14, lift, carry and place the cover 1 in the desired position without having to laboriously grab the cover 1 itself by hand.
[0046] In another technical solution, a handle 12 is provided on the fixed end of the rotary driver 9; specifically, the handle 12 can be made of a sturdy and durable material, such as metal or hard plastic. The handle 12 can be provided on the fixed end of the rotary driver 9 by screwing, welding or other fixed connection methods. The handle 12 makes it easier for the operator to carry and move the entire device, improving the flexibility of operation. The handle 12 is also coated with an anti-slip coating or has an anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the operator's hand and the handle 12.
[0047] In another technical solution, the medicine tank 5 is provided with a pair of shoulder straps 13; specifically, the shoulder straps 13 may be made of a sturdy and comfortable material, such as nylon or canvas, to ensure that they can bear the weight of the medicine tank 5 and maintain good durability. The shoulder straps 13 make it easier for the operator to carry and move the medicine tank 5.
[0048] In another technical solution, the nozzle 3 is a rotary nozzle 3; specifically, the rotary nozzle 3 can be a commercially available rotary nozzle 3. Using the rotary nozzle 3 improves the uniformity and coverage of the spray, so as to quickly kill the red imported fire ants that have crawled out due to the destruction of the ant nest.
[0049] In another technical solution, the vertical cross-section of the cover 1 is a frustum shape with a smaller top and a larger bottom. Specifically, the red imported fire ant nest is in the form of a mound, and the cross-section of the cover 1 is a frustum shape with a smaller top and a larger bottom, which helps the cover 1 to cover a wider area of the ant nest. There are multiple covers 1, and the height and bottom diameter of the multiple covers 1 are different, which can be selected according to the actual height and diameter of the ant nest.
[0050] In another technical solution, a plurality of insert plates 15 are provided along the circumference of the bottom end of the cover 1. The insert plates 15 are triangular with their tips pointing downwards. Specifically, the insert plates 15 can be made of sturdy stainless steel, iron, or hard plastic. The triangular shape of the insert plates 15 makes it easier to insert them into the ground. By pressing the cover 1 firmly, the insert plates 15 can be inserted into the ground. When the insert plates 15 are fully inserted into the ground, the bottom of the cover 1 is in close contact with the ground, thereby more effectively preventing the leakage of pesticide and the escape of red imported fire ants. The insertion of the insert plates 15 into the ground also helps to enhance the stability of the cover 1, preventing shaking or tilting caused by loose soil, and preventing shaking caused by the rotating rod 8 colliding with the cover 1 when rotating, thereby improving the extermination effect and safety.
[0051] In another technical solution, the height of the cover 1 is 0.4~0.5 m, and the bottom diameter of the cover 1 is 0.5~0.7 m. Specifically, the average diameter of a mature ant nest in the mulberry garden is 0.4~0.5 m, and the height is 0.3~0.4 m. In order to facilitate the destruction and extermination of the ant nest before it matures, a cover 1 that can effectively cover the mature ant nest is used, that is, the height of the cover 1 is 0.4~0.5 m, and the bottom diameter of the cover 1 is 0.5~0.7 m. This not only improves the utilization rate and extermination efficiency of the pesticide solution, but also reduces the risk of pesticide leakage and the escape of red imported fire ants.
[0052] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
