A novel intelligent pest monitoring and trapping device

Abstract

This invention relates to a novel intelligent pest monitoring and trapping device, comprising a frame, a control system, an insect-attracting mechanism, an insect-collecting mechanism, and an image acquisition device. It employs a combination of an infrared counter and a camera to acquire more real-time and accurate pest information. Utilizing insects' chemotaxis, phototaxis, and upward flight behavior, the device designs transparent buffer mechanisms such as the insect flight channel, and places the attractant at the top of the channel. The rapidly rotating transparent buffer mechanism transfers photographed and identified pests to the insect-collecting mechanism, solving the problem of duplicate counting and improving the accuracy of intelligent pest identification. Hemispherical shells are installed at the insect inlet and outlet. When the number of pests exiting the inlet is high, the positions of the two hemispherical shells are exchanged. Pests exiting the outlet are periodically driven into the insect-collecting chamber, achieving targeted transfer and elimination of pests. This ensures that the number of pests at the inlet is periodically emptied, guaranteeing the trapping effect and efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pest trapping devices, specifically to a novel intelligent pest monitoring and trapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, my country's agriculture and forestry suffer enormous losses annually due to pests. Real-time, accurate monitoring and precise, effective control of field pest populations can significantly reduce these losses. However, traditional pest control techniques in my country are insufficient: firstly, relying solely on pest trapping and collection requires considerable time to obtain accurate pest information, failing to guarantee the timeliness of field data and potentially missing the optimal control period; secondly, manual classification of monitored pests wastes significant manpower and delays results. While some devices are equipped with infrared counters, reducing labor costs and ensuring timely pest monitoring, they can only monitor specific pests, and the accuracy of the results is questionable. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel intelligent pest monitoring and trapping device in response to the above problems and requirements.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel intelligent pest monitoring and trapping device includes a frame, a control system, an insect-attracting mechanism, an insect-collecting mechanism, and an image acquisition device. The insect-collecting mechanism and the image acquisition device are both fixed within the frame. The insect-attracting mechanism includes an insect inlet channel, a attractant device, a buffer mechanism, a shielding plate, and a repelling mechanism. The buffer mechanism includes two hemispherical shells. The shielding plate is horizontally positioned with an insect inlet and an insect outlet arranged side-by-side on its upper surface. The two hemispherical shells cover the insect inlet and outlet of the shielding plate, respectively. The insect inlet channel is connected to the insect inlet and the outside at both ends. The buffer mechanism is used to drive the two hemispherical shells to rotate in a horizontal plane via a first rotating motor. Each rotation drives both hemispherical shells. The positions are reversed. An image acquisition device is installed on the outside of the insect inlet channel below the insect inlet, and an attractant device is installed above the hemispherical shell of the insect inlet. The image acquisition device is used to acquire images of pests on the hemispherical shell at the insect inlet and transmit the images to the control system. The control system is used to calculate the number of pests on the hemispherical shell based on the images. After the number of pests reaches a preset threshold, the buffer mechanism is controlled to rotate once. A driving mechanism is installed at the insect outlet. The driving mechanism is used to drive the pests on the hemispherical shell into the insect collection chamber below the insect outlet at preset intervals. An insect collection box is installed on the lower inner side of the insect collection chamber. The insect collection box is used to collect the pests that fall into the insect collection chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the attractant device is an attractant tank and / or an induction light source, wherein the attractant tank is used to prepare the corresponding bait according to the target pest, and the induction light source is an induction light source of different wavelengths.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a circular scraper and a second rotating motor. The second rotating motor is horizontally positioned and passes through the center of the circular scraper. The second rotating motor is used to drive the circular scraper to rotate in a vertical plane, and the outer edge of the circular scraper is in close contact with the inner side of the hemispherical shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the circular scraper rotates half a circle each time it is used to remove insects, and both the initial and final states are horizontal.

[0009] Furthermore, the hemispherical shell is uniformly provided with multiple through holes and is made of transparent material.

[0010] Furthermore, an infrared counter is also provided on the outside of the insect entry channel. The infrared counter is used to detect whether harmful insects have entered the insect entry channel. If so, it sends an insect entry signal to the control system. The control system is used to start the image acquisition device after receiving the insect entry signal.

[0011] Furthermore, the shape and size of the insect inlet and outlet are consistent with the shape and size of the circular scraper.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following advantages:

[0013] This invention utilizes insects' chemotaxis, phototaxis, and upward flight habits. The buffer mechanism, including the insect flight channel, is designed to be transparent, with the attractant positioned at the top of the channel. The rapidly rotating transparent buffer mechanism transfers photographed and identified insects to a collection chamber, solving the problem of repeated counting. The device uses an upward photographing direction, clearly and completely capturing the identification features of insects resting on the transparent buffer mechanism, improving the accuracy of intelligent insect identification. Hemispherical shells are placed at the insect inlet and outlet. When the number of insects at the inlet is high, the positions of the two hemispherical shells are exchanged. The insects at the outlet are periodically driven to the collection chamber, achieving targeted transfer and elimination of insects. This ensures that the number of insects at the inlet is periodically emptied, guaranteeing the effectiveness and efficiency of the trapping process. Detection and counting are performed through image acquisition and infrared counting, allowing for timely transfer and elimination of insects each time they enter.

[0014] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel intelligent pest monitoring and trapping device includes a frame 1, a control system, an insect-attracting mechanism 2, an insect-collecting mechanism 3, and an image acquisition device 4. The insect-collecting mechanism 3 and the image acquisition device 4 are both fixed within the frame 1. The insect-attracting mechanism 2 includes an insect inlet channel 21, a attractant device 22, a buffer mechanism, a shielding plate 23, and a repelling mechanism. The buffer mechanism includes two hemispherical shells 24. The shielding plate 23 is horizontally positioned with an insect inlet 231 and an insect outlet 232 arranged side-by-side on its upper surface. The two hemispherical shells 24 respectively cover the insect inlet 231 and the insect outlet 232 of the shielding plate 23. The two ends of the insect inlet channel 21 are connected to the insect inlet 231 and the outside. The buffer mechanism is used to drive the two hemispherical shells 24 to rotate in a horizontal plane via a first rotating motor 25. Each rotation drives the two hemispherical shells 24 to rotate. The hemispherical shell 24 is repositioned. An image acquisition device 4 is installed on the outside of the insect inlet channel 21 below the insect inlet 231. An attractant device 22 is installed above the hemispherical shell 24 of the insect inlet 231. The image acquisition device 4 is used to acquire images of pests on the hemispherical shell 24 at the insect inlet 231 and transmit the images to the control system. The control system is used to calculate the number of pests on the hemispherical shell 24 based on the images. After the number of pests reaches a preset threshold, the buffer mechanism is controlled to rotate once. A driving mechanism is installed at the insect outlet 232. The driving mechanism is used to drive the pests on the hemispherical shell 24 into the insect collection chamber 28 below the insect outlet 232 at preset intervals. An insect collection box 29 is installed on the lower inner side of the insect collection chamber 28. The insect collection box 29 is used to collect the pests that fall into the insect collection chamber 28.

[0023] In one embodiment, the attractant device 22 is an attractant tank and / or an induction light source. The attractant tank is used to prepare the corresponding bait according to the target pest, and the induction light source is an induction light source of different wavelengths.

[0024] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a circular scraper 26 and a second rotating motor 27. The second rotating motor is horizontally positioned and passes through the center of the circular scraper 26. The second rotating motor is used to drive the circular scraper 26 to rotate in a vertical plane. The outer side of the circular scraper 26 is in close contact with the inner side of the hemispherical shell 24.

[0025] In one implementation, the circular scraper 26 rotates half a circle each time it is used to remove insects, and both the initial and final states are horizontal.

[0026] In one embodiment, the hemispherical shell 24 is provided with a plurality of through holes and is made of a transparent material.

[0027] As one implementation, an infrared counter is also provided on the outside of the insect entry channel 21. The infrared counter is used to detect whether harmful insects have entered the insect entry channel 21. If so, it sends an insect entry signal to the control system. The control system is used to start the image acquisition device 4 after receiving the insect entry signal.

[0028] In one embodiment, the shape and size of the insect inlet 231 and the insect outlet 232 are the same as the shape and size of the circular scraper 26.

[0029] The working process of this invention:

[0030] Insects are attracted by targeted bait and enter the inlet channel, where they alight on the hemispherical shell at the inlet. Simultaneously, an infrared sensor detects the insects entering the imaging area, activating the camera to capture and transmit images. Shortly after, a first rotating motor rotates horizontally half a turn, exchanging positions of the inlet and outlet hemispherical shells. The hemispherical shell where insects have alighted moves above the driving structure, while the one without insects moves above the inlet channel. A second rotating motor then rotates half a turn, driving a circular scraper to drive the insects on the outlet hemispherical shell into the collection chamber. The image data captured by the camera is transmitted to an intelligent insect monitoring system. The processed data is then organized into insect information and sent to the client and management backend via the Internet of Things (IoT).

[0031] The above description provides examples of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Parts not detailed herein are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims. Any equivalent modifications based on the technical teachings of the present invention are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
