Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pest control in rice paddies, and more particularly to a pest trapping cage for use in rice paddies. Background Technology

[0002] Rice paddies are farmlands used to grow rice, one of the world's most important food crops and a staple crop in many countries. Rice requires a lot of water and sunlight, so rice paddies are typically located in low-lying areas or around rivers. Many pests commonly affect rice paddies, harming growth and yield and causing economic losses for farmers. For example, the rice planthopper is another common rice paddy pest; it sucks the sap from rice plants, causing leaves to yellow, wither, and die. Prevention and control methods for rice planthoppers include spraying insecticides, using yellow sticky traps for pest monitoring, and improving the rice's resistance to pests. Since rice planthoppers are strongly attracted to light at night, specialized traps are needed to capture them.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN202020359549.0 discloses an improved pest trap for rice paddies, comprising a fixing nail, a sleeve plate on the fixing nail, a limiting groove inside the sleeve plate, a control device and a power module on the sleeve plate, a limiting slide plate on the sleeve plate, a solar panel on the limiting slide plate, positioning holes on the limiting slide plate and the sleeve plate, locking pins in the positioning holes on the limiting slide plate and the sleeve plate, mounting blocks on the limiting slide plate and the sleeve plate, L-shaped mounting rods on the mounting blocks, conical covers on the L-shaped mounting rods, attraction lights in the conical covers, connecting rods on the conical covers, straight cylinders on the connecting rods, electric grids in the straight cylinders, and insect collection covers in the straight cylinders. This invention utilizes evenly spaced positioning holes on the limiting slide plate and the sleeve plate, with locking pins in the overlapping positioning holes on the limiting slide plate and the sleeve plate. This allows the length between the limiting slide plate and the sleeve plate to be adjusted according to the height of the rice plants. Simultaneously, it allows for the installation of conical covers at different locations on the rice plants to target pests above the rice stem, resulting in more comprehensive pest trapping and better pest reduction.

[0004] The aforementioned patents and existing technologies have the following problems: the light source has a wide range of attraction points, which leads to the attraction of pests being more dispersed, and the attraction channel is large, making the chance of escape too high; most of them are inserted into the soil by direct insertion, which makes them easy to tip over in strong winds or under external force, resulting in weak stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention provides a pest trapping cage for rice fields.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pest trapping cage for rice paddies, comprising an auxiliary support device for support, wherein the front end of the auxiliary support device is connected to a trapping device, the auxiliary support device can lift the trapping device and swing itself to lower it, and the trapping device can attract and capture pests by a built-in light.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0008] This invention features an auxiliary support device for support, allowing for repositioning of the connected trapping device for better cleaning. It is manually operated with a handle for ease of use, and the device is stable and does not easily shift after repositioning. The trapping device uses light to attract insects, and water can be added internally for further attraction, resulting in excellent insect attraction. The light attractant has a unique arc-shaped entry channel at the outer end, which, under gradual illumination, increases the probability of insects entering and makes them less likely to escape. The lower collection section is detachable, making installation convenient and operation simple.

[0009] Furthermore, the actuating wheel is driven by the handle to rotate eccentrically, which presses down the sliding component, thereby causing the sliding rod to lift along with the support rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide fixing seat is provided, which is used for support and guidance, can guide the slide and the support rod, and cover and support the hinge position of the two to prevent displacement due to external force on the hinge position after lifting.

[0011] Furthermore, the top cover and fixing ring are designed so that the top cover and fixing ring are directly fixed by the support column. The top cover can cover the fixing ring and form an entrance channel for pests to enter. At the entrance of the entrance channel, the light strip gradually attracts pests. The entrance of the entrance channel is arc-shaped, which makes it easy for pests to enter and difficult for them to escape.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealed cover is designed with a rotating shaft connected to the bottom and a handwheel connected to the rotating shaft at the top. When the handwheel is rotated, it can rotate the actuating plate at the bottom, which can scrape the lower inner side of the mesh to achieve cleaning. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To further explain the technical solution of the present invention, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a pest trap for paddy fields, including an auxiliary support device 1 for support, and a trapping device 2 connected to the front end of the auxiliary support device 1. The auxiliary support device 1 can lift the trapping device 2 and swing itself to lower it. The trapping device 2 can attract and capture pests by a built-in light.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 This invention provides a pest trap for rice paddies. The auxiliary support device 1 includes a support rod 11 for connecting to the trapping device 2. The other end of the support rod 11 is hinged to a sliding rod 12. The other end of the sliding rod 12 is movably embedded in the guide fixing seat 13. The front end of the guide fixing seat 13 has a locking hole, which can be locked to the paddy field ridge by bolts. After passing through the fixing seat 13, the sliding rod 12 is welded and fixed to a sliding component 14. The sliding component 14 is C-shaped, and an action wheel 15 is embedded inside the sliding component 14. The lower end of the action wheel 15 is connected to a shaft. The back of the shaft passes through a support plate 16. The upper end of the front surface of the support plate 16 is fixed to the guide fixing seat 13. After passing through the support plate 16, the shaft is connected to a handle 17. The rotation of the handle 17 causes the shaft to act on the action wheel 15.

[0023] A limit rod 18 is welded and fixed to the lower outer side of the handle 17, while a stop rod 19 is welded to both ends of the lower back of the support rod 11. The stop rod 19 can limit the limit rod 18.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This invention provides a pest trap for rice paddies. The trapping device 2 includes a base 21 whose bottom is fixed to a support rod 11. The base 21 has a groove inside for water injection. A stabilizing ring 22 is fixed to the top of the base 21. A silicone layer is bonded to the outside of the stabilizing ring 22, which provides friction and sealing. A detachable collection cage 23 is tightly embedded inside the stabilizing ring 22. The collection cage 23 can collect pests. The top of the collection cage 23 is fixed to a fixing ring 25a. The top of the fixing ring 25a is fixed to a top cover 25 by at least six sets of support pillars, which can support it. Both the top cover 25 and the fixing ring 25a have embedded light strips 25b inside. The top cover 25 has two sets of light strips inside. After the top cover 25 and the fixing ring 25a are connected, an entry channel 25c with a curved outer end is formed in the middle. The entrance and the curved part of the entry channel 25c are illuminated by the light strips. Both the top cover 25 and the fixing ring 25a are made of transparent material.

[0025] The top of the top cover 25 is covered by a sealed cover 26. A handwheel 27 is provided on the top of the sealed cover 26, and a rotating shaft 26a is provided at the bottom of the sealed cover 26. The rotating shaft 26a extends into the inside of the collection cage 23, and the top of the rotating shaft 26a is connected to the handwheel 27, which can be driven by the handwheel 27. A toggle piece 26b is fixed to the lower outer side of the rotating shaft 26a. The outer side of the toggle piece 26b contacts the inner side of the collection cage 23. After rotation, it can scrape the pests attached to the inner wall.

[0026] In this embodiment, wind or solar power can be added in conjunction with a battery to provide power, or a direct electrical connection can be made to provide power.

[0027] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0028] When it is necessary to use the pest trap, first install it by fixing the guide fixing seat 13 to the field ridge with bolts. After installation, turn the handle 17. The handle 17 drives the action wheel 15 to rotate eccentrically through the shaft. During the rotation, the sliding part 14 moves down. The sliding part 14 can pull the sliding rod 12 down in the guide fixing seat 13. During the movement, the hinge position of the support rod 11 enters the interior of the guide fixing seat 13, so that the support rod 11 stands up and the trapping device 2 is placed on top to start the trapping work.

[0029] Then the light strip 25b inside the top cover 25 and the fixing ring 25a is turned on to attract pests. When the pests enter the entry channel 25c, the top cover 25 extends downward to cover the fixing ring 25a, and then the pests can enter the collection cage 23 and be captured.

[0030] Water or sugar water can be injected into the base 21 to enhance the attraction effect. When it is necessary to treat the pests inside, force can be applied to remove the collection cage 23 and clean it inside the base 21. If too many insects are attached to the inside of the collection cage 23, the handwheel 27 can be turned to make the rotating shaft 26a rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 26a, the actuating plate 26b can be used to scrape and clean the inner wall.
