Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of insect trapping devices, and more specifically, particularly relates to a wasp trapping device. Background Art

[0002] Wasps, also known as yellow jackets or horse wasps, need to complete their individual development, including four metamorphosis stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Generally speaking, wasps begin to reproduce in spring, and the colony gradually grows in summer. Since wasps are predatory insects, they will attack worker bees that go out to collect honey, fly around the hive to affect the stability of the colony order, and even destroy the colony. Therefore, the growth of wasp colonies is particularly harmful to honey bees.

[0003] In order to ensure that bees are not disturbed by wasps, the common wasp control methods currently include slapping, insect netting, trapping and destroying nests with medicine. The slapping and insect trapping methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive. If toxic attractants are used in the trapping and destroying nests methods, they may harm other arthropods besides wasps or destroy the ecological balance. When using the trapping method, there is currently no preferred attractant on the market or the attractant has a certain toxicity. In addition, some attracting devices have problems such as wasps being difficult to enter or easy to escape, and wasps being difficult to clean after being trapped. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a wasp trapping device, which can make the entire trapping device simple to install and operate, the trapping process green and non-toxic, and the cleaning of the wasps after trapping easier by improving the structure of the trapping device and selecting high-concentration sugar water as an attractant.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The wasp trapping device described in the present application includes an outer bottle body, a reducing portion extending downward along the central axis at the top opening of the outer bottle body, and the inner diameter of the reducing portion gradually decreases during the downward extension process; an inner bottle body is sleeved in the outer bottle body, and an interlayer is left between the outer surface of the inner bottle body and the inner surface of the outer bottle body; the interlayer at the bottom end of the reducing portion constitutes a gauze mounting portion, and gauze is fixed between the interlayer and the gauze mounting portion, and the gauze extends from the outlet of the gauze mounting portion, and the gauze contacts the trapping agent through the bottom end of the inner bottle body; an outer bottom cover is installed at the bottom of the outer bottle body through a threaded structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer bottle body at the bottom end of the inner bottle body described in the present application is installed with an inner bottom cover through a threaded structure, and the bottom of the inner bottom cover is in contact with the outer bottom cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner bottom cover described in the present application is provided with a bottom cover through hole, and the bottom cover through hole passes through the inner bottom cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer bottle body described in the present application extends upward at the top of the bottle mouth to form a bottle mouth, and the bottle mouth is connected to a bottle cap through an external thread.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer bottle body described in the present application includes a cylindrical portion, which gradually approaches the central axis at the top opening and forms a closed portion, and a reducing portion coaxial therewith is arranged in the closed portion, and the reducing portion is located at the top opening of the closed portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the angle α between the cylindrical portion and the closing portion described in the present application is 150°, and the angle β between the closing portion and the diameter-reducing portion is 60°.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0013] 1. This application utilizes the fact that wasps are very sensitive to the smell of sugar water, uses 50% to 80% mass concentration of sugar water as an attractant, and uses the siphon effect of gauze to drain the sugar water to the entrance, which can quickly attract wasps.

[0014] 2. When the hornet enters the bottle through the bottle mouth under the action of the attractant, on the one hand, the hornet will come into contact with the high-concentration sugar water on the gauze at the entrance, causing the hornet's body to lose water or fall into the attractant at the bottom and drown; on the other hand, the high-concentration sugar water has a certain viscosity, and the hornet's flight is hindered after being stuck with the sugar water, and because the inner wall of the bottle is relatively smooth, it is not easy for the hornet to climb out.

[0015] 3. The present application can quickly separate the trapped wasps and sugar water through the design of the bottle structure and the bottom cover, and the sugar water can be reused. The overall device is simple, easy to operate, and has obvious effects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Example 1

[0024] A wasp trapping device comprises an outer bottle body 2, wherein a reducing portion 10 is extended downwardly along the central axis at the top opening of the outer bottle body 2, and the inner diameter of the reducing portion 10 gradually decreases during the downward extension; an inner bottle body 4 is sleeved inside the outer bottle body 2, and an interlayer 3 is left between the outer surface of the inner bottle body 4 and the inner surface of the outer bottle body 2; the interlayer 3 at the bottom end of the reducing portion 10 constitutes a gauze mounting portion 11, and the outlet of the gauze mounting portion 11 faces the bottom surface of the inner bottle body 4; gauze 5 is fixed on the interlayer 3 and the gauze mounting portion 11, and the gauze 5 extends from the outlet of the gauze mounting portion 11 and extends downwardly for a certain distance to allow wasps to pass through. The gauze 5 in the interlayer 3 contacts the contained trapping agent 6 through the bottom of the inner bottle body 4, and guides the trapping agent 6 to the outlet of the gauze mounting portion 11; the bottom of the outer bottle body 2 is mounted with an outer bottom cover 8 through a threaded structure; the bottom end of the inner bottle body 4 is mounted with an inner bottom cover 7 through a threaded structure, and the bottom of the inner bottom cover 7 contacts the outer bottom cover 8; the inner bottom cover 7 is provided with a bottom cover through hole 12, and the bottom cover through hole 12 passes through the inner bottom cover 7; the outer bottle body 2 is at the bottle mouth 9 The top extends upward to form a bottle mouth 9, and the bottle mouth 9 is connected to the bottle cap 1 through an external thread; the outer bottle body 2 includes a cylindrical portion 21, which gradually approaches the central axis at the top opening and forms a closing portion 22, and a reducing portion 10 coaxial therewith is arranged in the closing portion 22, and the reducing portion 10 is located at the top opening of the closing portion 22; the angle α between the cylindrical portion 21 and the closing portion 22 is 150°, and the angle β between the closing portion 22 and the reducing portion 10 is 60°.

[0025] On the basis of the above embodiments, the present application continues to provide a detailed description of the technical features involved therein and the functions and roles played by the technical features in the present application, so as to help technicians in this field to fully understand the technical solution of the present application and reproduce it.

[0026] In Example 1, sugar water with a mass concentration of 50% to 80% is used as an attractant in this application. This is because in addition to preying on insects, adult wasps also like sweet substances. For example, wasps feed on fruits, nectar and sugary juice. It has also been observed in the daily management of the apiary that wasps are particularly sensitive to the smell of sugar water, and a large number of wasps often gather near sugar water. Compared with other attractants, sugar water has the best trapping effect on wasps.

[0027] Inject 50% to 80% mass concentration of sugar water into the inner bottle body 4. When the height of the inner bottle body is 20 cm, the height of the injected sugar water should be about 10 to 15 cm. Since the inner bottle body 4 and the outer bottle body 2 described in the present application have the same external shape and adopt a sleeve connection form, that is, an interlayer 3 is formed between the outer surface of the inner bottle body 4 and the inner surface of the outer bottle body 2, two to three layers of gauze 5 can be arranged in the interlayer 3. The bottom of the gauze 5 located in the interlayer 3 passes through the bottom of the inner bottle body 4 and is immersed in the attractant 6 composed of sugar water. The sugar water can be distributed at the lower opening of the variable diameter part 10 through the siphon effect of the gauze 5. Specifically, the bottom of the gauze 5 can pass through the connection position between the inner bottle body 4 and the inner bottom cover 7, and a plurality of through holes can also be provided on the body of the inner bottle body 4 to meet the contact requirements of the gauze 5 and the attractant 6. The distribution of the through holes is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 The through hole on the inner bottle body 4 can be blocked by the gauze 5 after passing through the gauze 5, thereby ensuring the siphon effect and preventing the trapping agent 6 from entering the interlayer 3 through the through hole in large quantities.

[0028] In the present application, the outer bottle body 2 comprises a hollow cylindrical cylindrical portion 21, and the top opening of the cylindrical portion 21 gradually approaches the central axis of the cylindrical portion 21 during the upward extension process to form a closed portion 22. As shown in the figure, the longitudinal cross section of the closed portion 22 is conical, and the angle between the closed portion 22 and the cylindrical portion 21 is preferably 150°, and of course it can also be other values ​​between 90° and 180°.

[0029] In the present application, the outer bottle body 2 has a reducing portion 10 extending downward at the top opening of the closing portion 22, the reducing portion 10 is coaxially arranged with the outer bottle body 2, and the inner diameter of the reducing portion 10 gradually decreases during the downward extension. The height of the reducing portion 10 extending downward is preferably half the height of the closing portion 22. A gauze mounting portion 11 formed by extending downward with the same inner diameter may be provided at the bottom opening of the reducing portion 10, and the multi-layer gauze 5 may be placed in the interlayer 3 formed by the inner bottle body 4 and the outer bottle body 2.

[0030] In the present application, the outer surface of the bottom of the inner bottle body 4 may be processed with an external thread, and the inner bottle body 4 is connected to the inner bottom cover 7 through the external thread, and a bottom cover through hole 12 consisting of a through hole is processed at the central axis of the inner bottom cover 7. A plug may be provided in the bottom cover through hole 12, or the bottom outlet of the bottom cover through hole 12 may be fitted with the bottom surface of the outer bottom cover 8. When the bottom surface of the outer bottom cover 8 is fitted with the bottom outlet of the bottom cover through hole 12, the bottom cover through hole 12 can be blocked by the outer bottom cover 8. The inner bottom cover 7 described in this paragraph is also processed with an external thread near its bottom surface, and the inner bottom cover 7 is connected to the internal thread of the outer bottom cover 8 through the external thread. An external thread connected to the outer bottom cover 8 is provided on the outer surface of the bottom of the outer bottle body 2, and the external thread can be connected to the internal thread of the outer bottom cover 8 to achieve the connection between the outer bottom cover 8 and the outer bottle body 2. The inner bottom cover 7 may be provided with a groove capable of accommodating the lower edge of the inner bottle body 4 , in which the lower edge of the inner bottle body 4 may be located during the screwing process, further ensuring the airtightness of the connection between the two.

[0031] The trapping device is placed at a position at least 1 meter away from the entrance of the beehive of the bee farm, and the bottle cap is opened and the sugar water of the above mass concentration is poured in. When a wasp is attracted by the trapping agent using sugar water, the wasp will enter through the top opening of the reducing portion 10 and begin to contact with the gauze 5 with sugar water. Since the longitudinal cross-section of the reducing portion 10 is a funnel-shaped structure and the inner wall is relatively smooth, the wasp can easily enter the gauze 5 and lose the ability to fly or lose water when being contacted by the sugar water, and fall into the trapping agent at the bottom. Specifically, the gauze 5 located at the bottom outlet of the reducing portion 10 in the present application is shorter, which allows the wasp to pass through while being able to wet the wasp body. The gauze 5 is guided to the high-concentration sugar water at the reducing portion 10 by the siphon effect, causing the wasp body to lose water. On the other hand, the flight of the wasp that enters the gauze 5 is hindered after being stained with syrup, and the smooth inner wall of the reducer 10 also makes it difficult for the wasp that is stained with syrup to climb out, and then falls into the trapping agent 6 of the inner bottle body and drowns. Since the whole trapping device has only one entrance of the reducer 10, and generally when wasps exist during the day, bees dare not stay at the bottle mouth of the trapping device due to the harassment of wasps, which can effectively prevent bees from mistakenly entering the trapping device. After the trapping is completed, first tighten the bottle cap 1 and then invert the trapping device 2, then unscrew the outer bottom cover 8 and pour out the syrup in the inner bottle body 4 through the bottom cover through hole 12 on the inner bottom cover 7; after the syrup in the inner bottle body 4 is emptied, the inner bottom cover 7 is unscrewed, and the internal wasps are poured out for processing. After the above process is completed, the inner bottom cover 7 and the outer bottom cover 8 are screwed in successively.

[0032] Finally, although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
