Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of entomology, in particular to a releasing device which is beneficial to protecting wasps. Background Art

[0002] Wasps, also known as horse bees, belong to the family Vespidae of the order Hymenoptera of the class Insecta. They are predatory bees. In addition to honey bees, they prey on lepidopteran pests such as moths and butterflies in farmland and forests. Wasps are treated as pests near bee farms. However, wasps are also an important natural enemy of pests in farmland and forests. They play an important role in biological pest control and are beneficial insects worthy of human protection.

[0003] In order to better investigate and study the biological characteristics and population distribution of hornet populations, scientists need to track adult hornets in the wild and find their hives by tracking their flight paths.

[0004] Until now, the way to track adult wasps has been very simple and crude, that is, after catching adult wasps in the wild with insect nets, tie a red plastic belt about 20-30cm long on the thin waist between the thorax and abdomen of the adult wasps, and then release them. By observing the red plastic belt on the waist with the naked eye, the released adult wasps are tracked to find the wasps' hives. This method has a certain positive effect on tracking and finding wasps' hives, but there are obvious defects: after tying a red plastic belt about 20-30cm long on the thin waist between the thorax and abdomen of the adult wasps, since the red plastic belt cannot be removed, the adult wasps are very likely to get entangled in branches and grass stems during their subsequent activities, eventually causing the adult wasps to die of thirst and hunger.

[0005] How to overcome the defects of existing technologies and raise people's awareness of protecting wasps has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a releasing device, which is mounted on the slender waist between the chest and abdomen of the adult wasp. By releasing and tracking, it is convenient to find the wasp nest, and the impact of the releasing device on the normal activities of the adult wasp can be minimized, so as to prevent the adult wasp from being trapped on branches and grass stems and dying of thirst and hunger, which is conducive to raising people's awareness of protecting beneficial insects such as wasps.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is to design and manufacture a release device which is beneficial to protecting wasps. The release device comprises a hard capsule opening ring, a drip-shaped sequin and an elastic stainless steel ring.

[0008] The outer diameter circumference of the hard capsule opening ring is provided with intermittent lines arranged at intervals to accelerate disintegration after contacting water.

[0009] The right end of the hard capsule opening ring extends to the left to form a docking piece, and a plurality of spaced-apart plug holes are provided at the top of the docking piece. The middle part of the left end of the hard capsule opening ring is bent downward and extended to form a plug-in strip, and the front-to-back width of the plug-in strip is smaller than the front-to-back width of the hard capsule opening ring. A plug-in strip mounting hole is provided at the lower end of the plug-in strip after the plug-in strip passes downward through the plug hole.

[0010] The drop-shaped sequin is small at the top and large at the bottom. The outer surface of the drop-shaped sequin is provided with eye-catching colors such as red. The upper and lower ends of the drop-shaped sequin are respectively provided with a sequin upper mounting hole and a sequin lower mounting hole. The inner diameters of the sequin upper mounting hole and the sequin lower mounting hole are the same as the inner diameter of the connector strip mounting hole.

[0011] The elastic stainless steel ring is provided with a notch, and the diameter of the cross section of the elastic stainless steel ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the plug-in strip mounting hole, the upper mounting hole of the sequin and the lower mounting hole of the sequin. The lower end of the plug-in strip and the upper end of the topmost drip-shaped sequin are connected together through the notch of the elastic stainless steel ring through the plug-in strip mounting hole and the upper mounting hole of the sequin. The upper and lower adjacent drip-shaped sequins are connected together through the notch of the elastic stainless steel ring through the lower mounting hole of the upper drip-shaped sequin and the upper mounting hole of the lower drip-shaped sequin, so that 3-5 drip-shaped sequins are connected in series up and down to form a sequin string.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the hard capsule opening ring is set to 5mm, the width of the hard capsule opening ring and the docking piece is set to 3mm, the inner diameter of the plug hole is set to 1.8mm, the width of the plug strip is set to 1.5mm, the inner diameter of the plug strip mounting hole is set to 0.5mm, and the thickness of the hard capsule opening ring, the docking piece and the plug strip is set to 0.10-0.15mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the drop-shaped sequin is set to 30 mm, the width of the drop-shaped sequin is set to 20 mm, and the thickness of the drop-shaped sequin is set to 0.10-0.15 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the material of the drop-shaped sequins is metal magnesium or hard plastic.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following outstanding advantages:

[0016] 1. By utilizing the property of hard capsules that they disintegrate quickly when in contact with water, the hard capsule opening ring in the present invention can disintegrate quickly when encountering dew or rainfall. After completing the flight tracking and honeycomb positioning work, the hard capsule opening ring set on the slender waist between the thorax and abdomen of the wasp adult quickly disintegrates and falls off, and the sequin string connected under the hard capsule opening ring also falls off, completely relieving the burden of the release device on the daily life of the wasp adult.

[0017] 2. Since intermittent lines are arranged at intervals around the outer diameter of the hard capsule opening ring, it is easy to disintegrate even if it comes into contact with a small amount of dew or mist droplets, which can accelerate the disintegration process of the hard capsule opening ring when it comes into contact with water. After completing the flight tracking and hive positioning work, the adverse effects of the release device on the adult wasps can be eliminated as soon as possible.

[0018] 3. Taking advantage of the bright luster of sequins in the sun, and setting eye-catching colors such as red on the outer surface of the sequins, strings of sequins are easy to observe and track with the naked eye at a long distance, which helps to improve work efficiency.

[0019] 4. The use of thin sequins can reduce the weight of adult wasps. At the same time, the sequins are set to a drop-shaped structure that is small at the top and large at the bottom. It is not easy to generate air vortex resistance during the flight of the wasp. The wasp flies more smoothly and can minimize the impact of the release device on the normal activities of the adult wasp.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the defects of the prior art are overcome, and a release device is provided, which is mounted on the slender waist between the chest and abdomen of an adult wasp. By releasing and tracking, it is convenient to find a wasp nest, and the impact of the release device on the normal activities of the adult wasp is minimized, so that the adult wasp is prevented from being trapped on branches and grass stems and dying of thirst or hunger, which is conducive to raising people's awareness of protecting beneficial insects such as wasps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0027] Example: Figure 1-3As shown, a release device is designed and manufactured to protect wasps. The release device includes a hard capsule opening ring 1, a drip-shaped sequin 5 and an elastic stainless steel ring 3.

[0028] The outer diameter circumference of the hard capsule opening ring 1 is provided with intermittent lines 12 arranged at intervals to accelerate disintegration after contacting water.

[0029] The hard capsule opening ring 1 is used to sleeve the invention on the slender waist between the thorax and abdomen of the wasp adult; the intermittent line 12 is used to accelerate the disintegration and falling off of the hard capsule opening ring 1 when it encounters dew, fog droplets and rainfall.

[0030] On November 23, 2016, the patent gazette published an invention patent application entitled "Fishing capsule containing fish attractant and its processing method", with application number 201510085918.5. The main features of the invention are: the components of the capsule shell are proportioned by weight as follows: 4-8 parts of sodium carboxymethyl starch, 90-95 parts of heavy calcium, 1-3 parts of musk powder, appropriate amount of effervescent disintegrant, and appropriate amount of masterbatch; the effervescent disintegrant is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid; weigh by weight, mix and stir the components evenly, add clean water to stir and dissolve evenly, and then use the existing hollow capsule production equipment and process to make the capsule shell.

[0031] In the present invention, by adjusting the formula and process of the film-forming material, a hard capsule open ring 1 that can quickly disintegrate in water can be processed.

[0032] The right end of the hard capsule opening ring 1 extends to the left to form a docking piece 10, and three spaced-apart insertion holes 11 are provided at the top of the docking piece 10. The middle part of the left end of the hard capsule opening ring 1 is bent downward and extended to form a plug-in strip 9. The front-to-back width of the plug-in strip 9 is smaller than the front-to-back width of the hard capsule opening ring 1. After the plug-in strip 9 passes downward through the insertion hole 11, a plug-in strip mounting hole 2 is provided at the lower end.

[0033] The docking piece 10 is used for docking with the plug-in strip 9. In this embodiment, since three spaced-apart plug holes 11 are provided at the top of the docking piece 10, and the middle part of the left end of the hard capsule opening ring 1 is bent downward and extended to form the plug-in strip 9, the front-to-back width of the plug-in strip 9 is smaller than the front-to-back width of the hard capsule opening ring 1. The plug-in strip 9 passes downward through the plug holes 11 at different positions to flexibly adjust the circumference of the hard capsule opening ring 1 according to the size of the abdomen of the adult wasp and the thickness of the waist of the wasp; the plug-in strip 9 is used for plugging with the docking piece 10, and passes through the plug-in strip mounting hole 2 at its lower end and the mounting hole 4 on the sequin through the notch 8 of the elastic stainless steel ring 3, so as to connect the topmost drip-shaped sequin 5 with the plug-in strip 9.

[0034] The drop-shaped sequin 5 has a small upper and large lower structure, and the outer surface of the drop-shaped sequin 5 is provided with eye-catching colors such as red. The upper and lower ends of the drop-shaped sequin 5 are respectively provided with a sequin upper mounting hole 4 and a sequin lower mounting hole 6. The inner diameters of the sequin upper mounting hole 4 and the sequin lower mounting hole 6 are the same as the inner diameter of the connector strip mounting hole 2.

[0035] The drop-shaped sequin 5 has a characteristic of bright luster in the sun, and the outer surface of the sequin is provided with eye-catching colors such as red, which is convenient for naked eyes to observe and track at a long distance. The sequin is set to a drop-shaped structure with a small top and a large bottom, which is convenient for reducing the airflow vortex resistance generated during the flight of the wasp, making the wasp fly more smoothly.

[0036] The elastic stainless steel ring 3 is provided with a notch 8, and the diameter of the cross section of the elastic stainless steel ring 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the plug-in strip mounting hole 2, the sequin upper mounting hole 4 and the sequin lower mounting hole 6. The lower end of the plug-in strip 9 and the upper end of the topmost drop-shaped sequin 5 are connected together through the notch 8 of the elastic stainless steel ring 3 through the plug-in strip mounting hole 2 and the sequin upper mounting hole 4. The upper and lower adjacent drop-shaped sequins 5 are connected together through the notch 8 of the elastic stainless steel ring 3 through the sequin lower mounting hole 6 of the upper drop-shaped sequin 5 and the sequin upper mounting hole 4 of the lower drop-shaped sequin 5, so that 3-5 drop-shaped sequins 5 are connected in series from top to bottom to form a sequin string 7.

[0037] The elastic stainless steel ring 3 has the elasticity to facilitate passing through the notch 8 through the plug-in strip mounting hole 2, the sequin upper mounting hole 4 and the sequin lower mounting hole 6, and can also prevent rust and extend the shelf life; the sequin string 7, after 3-5 pieces of drip-shaped sequins 5 are connected in series up and down to form a sequin string 7, can enhance the naked eye's observation and tracking of the drip-shaped sequins 5 at a longer distance.

[0038] In this embodiment, four water-drop-shaped sequins 5 are connected in series up and down to form a sequin string 7.

[0039] Preferably, the inner diameter of the hard capsule opening ring 1 is set to 5 mm, the width of the hard capsule opening ring 1 and the docking piece 10 is set to 3 mm, the inner diameter of the plug-in hole 11 is set to 1.8 mm, the width of the plug-in strip 9 is set to 1.5 mm, the inner diameter of the plug-in strip mounting hole 2 is set to 0.5 mm, and the thickness of the hard capsule opening ring 1, the docking piece 10 and the plug-in strip 9 is set to 0.10-0.15 mm.

[0040] Preferably, the length of the drop-shaped sequin 5 is set to 30 mm, the width of the drop-shaped sequin 5 is set to 20 mm, and the thickness of the drop-shaped sequin 5 is set to 0.10-0.15 mm.

[0041] Preferably, the material of the drop-shaped sequins 5 is metal magnesium.

[0042] The working conditions of the present invention are as follows: a sunny day is selected, an insect net is used in the wild to catch an adult wasp, the opening of the hard capsule opening ring 1 is opened and wrapped around the slender waist between the chest and abdomen of the adult wasp, and according to the size of the abdomen of the adult wasp and the thickness of the waist, a plurality of spaced-apart plug holes 11 are provided at the top of the docking piece 10 to flexibly adjust the actual required circumference of the hard capsule opening ring 1, and then the plug-in strip 9 is passed downward through one of the plug holes 11, and then the plug-in strip mounting hole 2 at the lower end of the plug-in strip 9 and the sequin mounting hole 4 at the upper end of the drip-shaped sequin 5 are passed through the notch 8 of the elastic stainless steel ring 3, the uppermost drip-shaped sequin 5 is connected with the plug-in strip 9, and then the remaining three drip-shaped sequins 5 are connected in series under the uppermost drip-shaped sequin 5 through the elastic stainless steel ring 3, and the adult wasp can be released after the sleeve is set, and observed and tracked according to conventional methods.

[0043] After tracking and finding the hornet's hive, we can conduct investigations and studies on the biological characteristics and population distribution of the hornet population.

[0044] The intermittent line 12 on the hard capsule opening ring 1 passed through the waist of the adult wasp and the hard capsule opening ring 1 itself will quickly disintegrate when encountering dew, fog droplets or rainfall. After the intermittent line 12 on the hard capsule opening ring 1 or the hard capsule opening ring 1 itself disintegrates when encountering water, the sequin string 7 and the elastic stainless steel ring 3 fall off from the body of the adult wasp, thereby minimizing the impact of the release device on the normal activities of the adult wasp and preventing the adult wasp from being trapped on branches or grass stems and dying of thirst or hunger.
