Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of red imported fire ant extermination, and more specifically, to a steam extermination device for red imported fire ants. Background Technology
[0002] The Latin name for red imported fire ants means "invincible" ant, hence its name due to its difficulty in control. Widely distributed, red imported fire ants are among the most destructive invasive species. In China, they are considered an invasive species. Red imported fire ants are a type of ant, belonging to the social insect family, with multiple castes: reproductive females, males, and worker ants (incompletely developed, infertile females). Worker ants can be further divided into single-type and multi-type, with multi-type including large worker ants (soldier ants) and small worker ants. Worker ants have two petioles; their antennae typically have 10 segments, the last two being club-shaped; and longitudinal ridges on both sides of the clypeus extend forward into teeth. Both females and males have ocelli. Female antennae typically have 11 segments, while male antennae typically have 12 segments, and their thorax and abdomen lack spines or teeth.
[0003] Red imported fire ants have invaded southern my country, posing a significant threat to local agricultural production and the lives and property of the people. Currently, the main method of eradication is chemical pesticide control. However, chemical pesticides easily lead to the ants developing resistance, resurgence, and residue problems (the "3Rs"), failing to meet the needs of people for red imported fire ant eradication. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a steam-based red imported fire ant eradication device to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems in related technologies, the present invention proposes a steam ant extermination device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:
[0006] A steam extermination device for red imported fire ants includes a housing, and a top cover is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the housing;
[0007] The inner circumferential wall of the shell is provided with a heat-insulating inner sleeve layer, and the inner circumferential wall of the heat-insulating inner sleeve layer is fixedly connected with a rod. There are three sets of the rods, and the three sets of rods are distributed in a circular pattern at equal distances at the bottom of the shell.
[0008] A steam jet rod is inserted into the top of the housing;
[0009] A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the shell. The rubber pad is funnel-shaped, and its cross-section is also funnel-shaped. This allows the entire device to fully conform to the ground, preventing the red imported fire ants from escaping and biting people when they are exterminated by high-temperature steam. Three sets of rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, which can firmly fix the shell to the ground and facilitate the steam extermination of red imported fire ants. A transparent material is used for the top of the shell, which makes it easy for workers to observe the state of the red imported fire ants and their nests inside the shell, facilitating precise location and extermination.
[0010] Furthermore, a liquid replenishment tank is provided on the top of the shell, and a water storage tank is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the shell, with the liquid replenishment tank located directly above the water storage tank;
[0011] A partition is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the top cover, and a battery pack is provided on the top of the partition.
[0012] A control panel is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the partition, a heating tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control panel, the heating tube is located inside the water tank, a regulator is fixedly connected to the circumferential outer wall of the shell, and vent holes are evenly spaced and distributed in a circle on the circumferential outer wall of the water tank. A temperature sensor is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the control panel.
[0013] The top outer wall of the housing is provided with a flow guide groove, which is connected to the liquid replenishment tank. A sealing ring is inserted into the inside of the liquid replenishment tank, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the sealing ring.
[0014] A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the water storage tank, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and a spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating rod.
[0015] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the thermal insulation inner sleeve, and a bearing seat is fixedly connected to one end of the first reinforcing rod. The rotating rod is fixedly connected to the bearing seat.
[0016] Furthermore, a second reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the output end of the motor, and a first gear ring is fixedly connected to one end of the second reinforcing rod. The first gear ring meshes with a third driven gear disk, and a first rotating column is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the third driven gear disk.
[0017] Furthermore, a first driven gear disk is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the first rotating column, and the first driven gear disk meshes with a second driven gear disk. A through groove is provided on the inner circumference of the water storage tank, and one side of the second driven gear disk passes through the inside of the through groove.
[0018] Furthermore, the second driven gear disk is characterized by having a second rotating column fixedly connected to its inner circumferential wall, and one end of the second rotating column being rotatably connected to the bottom inner wall of the water storage tank.
[0019] Furthermore, the second driven gear disc meshes with a second gear ring, which is located inside the water storage tank.
[0020] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided on the bottom inner wall of the water storage tank, and a slider is slidably connected inside the annular groove.
[0021] Furthermore, a stirring column is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the slider, and the stirring column is distributed in a circular pattern at equal intervals inside the water storage tank.
[0022] Furthermore, a stirring plate is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the stirring column, and one end of the stirring plate away from the stirring column is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of another stirring column. The cross-section of the stirring plate is Z-shaped. The stirring plate fixed to the outer circumference of the stirring column is Z-shaped, which can not only reduce the water resistance during rotation, but also increase the steam output.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0024] The present invention provides a steam extermination device for red imported fire ants. Through the setting of a shell, an inner heat-insulating layer, a heating pipe, a water tank and a rubber pad, the use of an inner heat-insulating layer in this device can effectively prevent the steam temperature inside the shell from being affected by factors such as wind, which could lead to rapid cooling and failure to effectively kill red imported fire ants.
[0025] Meanwhile, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, and the cross-section of the rubber pad is funnel-shaped, so that the entire device can fully fit with the ground, preventing the red imported fire ants from escaping and biting people when they are exterminated by high-temperature steam. Three sets of plugs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, which can firmly fix the shell to the ground, facilitating the steam extermination of red imported fire ants. A transparent material is used as the top of the shell, which makes it easy for staff to observe the state of the red imported fire ants and their nests inside the shell, facilitating accurate positioning and extermination.
[0026] This invention provides a steam extermination device for red imported fire ants. Through the configuration of a motor, rotating rod, spiral blades, a first gear ring, and a second gear ring, when workers need to exterminate red imported fire ants, the heating element is activated first. The heating element heats the water inside the storage tank, generating high-temperature steam. This high-temperature steam is discharged into the casing through vents on the outer circumference of the storage tank, thus fulfilling the need for high-temperature steam extermination of ants. Simultaneously with the generation of high-temperature steam in the storage tank, the motor is activated, driving the second reinforcing rod and the rotating rod to rotate together. During the rotation of the second reinforcing rod, the first gear ring undergoes circular motion. During the circular motion, the third driven gear disk can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the third driven gear disk can drive the first rotating column to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating column can drive the first driven gear disk at its top to make circular motion. The rotation of the first driven gear disk can drive the second driven gear disk and the second gear ring to make circular motion. During the circular motion of the second gear ring, multiple sets of stirring columns fixed at its bottom can be rotated, thereby accelerating the amount of steam generated inside the water tank and improving the extermination effect on red imported fire ants. Moreover, the stirring plate fixed on the outer wall of the stirring column is Z-shaped, which can not only reduce the water resistance during rotation, but also increase the steam output.
[0027] Since the motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank, the vibration generated by the motor during startup will accelerate the generation of steam inside the water tank. The motor drives the rotating rod and spiral blades to rotate, which can attract and gather the generated steam, allowing the steam to be blown into the red imported fire ants and their nests, thus improving the device's extermination effect on red imported fire ants.

[0041] Example 1:
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 A steam extermination device for red imported fire ants includes a housing 1, with a top cover 2 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the housing 1;
[0043] A steam jet rod 7 is inserted into the top of the housing 1;

[0045] A rubber pad 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the shell 1. The rubber pad 8 is funnel-shaped.

The outer circumference of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to a regulator, and the outer circumference of the water storage tank 13 has equidistantly distributed circular vent holes 15. A temperature sensor 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the control panel 11, which enables real-time monitoring of the high-temperature steam inside the housing 1. The replenishment tank 6 is located directly above the water storage tank 13, and the top outer wall of the housing 1 has a... A flow guide trough 3 is connected to a replenishment tank 6. A sealing ring 4 is inserted inside the replenishment tank 6. A handle 5 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the sealing ring 4. A motor 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the water storage tank 13. A rotating rod 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22. A spiral blade 20 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating rod 17. A first reinforcing rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the insulation inner sleeve 14. A bearing seat 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the first reinforcing rod 16. The rotating rod 17 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 18. A second reinforcing rod 24 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the output end of the motor 22. A first gear ring 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the second reinforcing rod 24. The first gear ring 23 meshes with a third driven gear disk 33. A first rotating column 19 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the gear disk 33, and a first driven gear disk 25 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the first rotating column 19. The first driven gear disk 25 meshes with a second driven gear disk 27. A through groove 26 is provided on the inner circumference of the water tank 13. One side of the second driven gear disk 27 passes through the inside of the through groove 26. A second rotating column 28 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the second driven gear disk 27. One end of the second rotating column 28 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the water tank 13. The second driven gear disk 27 meshes with a second gear ring 29, which is located inside the water tank 13. An annular groove 21 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the water tank 13. A slider 32 is slidably connected inside the annular groove 21. A stirring column 31 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of block 32. The stirring columns 31 are evenly distributed in a circle inside the water storage tank 13. A stirring plate 30 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the stirring column 31. The end of the stirring plate 30 away from the stirring column 31 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of another stirring column 31. The cross-section of the stirring plate 30 is Z-shaped. When workers need to exterminate red imported fire ants, they can first start the heating pipe 12. The heating pipe 12 can heat the water inside the water storage tank 13 to generate high-temperature steam. The generated high-temperature steam is discharged into the shell 1 through the vent 15 opened on the outer circumference of the water storage tank 13, thus meeting the demand for high-temperature steam ant extermination. At the same time as the water storage tank 13 generates high-temperature steam, the motor 22 is started.The motor 22 drives the second reinforcing rod 24 and the rotating rod 17 to rotate together. During the rotation of the second reinforcing rod 24, the first gear ring 23 undergoes circular motion, which in turn drives the third driven gear disk 33 to rotate. The rotation of the third driven gear disk 33, in turn, drives the first rotating column 19 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating column 19 drives the first driven gear disk 25 at its top to undergo circular motion. The rotation of the first driven gear disk 25 drives the second driven gear disk 27 and the second gear ring 29 to undergo circular motion. During the circular motion of the second gear ring 29, multiple sets of stirring columns 3 fixed at its bottom are activated. The rotation of the stirring column 31 accelerates the generation of steam inside the water tank 13, improving the elimination effect on red imported fire ants. The Z-shaped stirring plate 30 fixed to the outer circumference of the stirring column 31 reduces water resistance during rotation and increases steam output. Since the motor 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank 13, its vibration during startup accelerates steam generation inside the tank. The motor 22 drives the rotating rod 17 and the spiral blades 20 to rotate, attracting and concentrating the generated steam, allowing it to be directed towards the red imported fire ants and their nests, thus enhancing the device's effectiveness in eliminating them.
[0049] In summary, by means of the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, when workers need to exterminate red imported fire ants, they can first activate the heating tube 12. The heating tube 12 heats the water inside the water tank 13 to generate high-temperature steam. The generated high-temperature steam is discharged into the shell 1 through the vent 15 opened on the outer circumference of the water tank 13, thus fulfilling the need for high-temperature steam to exterminate ants. At the same time as the water tank 13 generates high-temperature steam, the motor 22 is activated. The motor 22 drives the second reinforcing rod 24 and the rotating rod 17 to rotate together. During the rotation of the second reinforcing rod 24, the first gear ring 23 can make a circular motion. During the circular motion of the first gear ring 23, the third driven gear disk 33 can be rotated. During the rotation of the third driven gear disk 33, the first rotating column 19 can be rotated. The rotation of the first rotating column 19 can drive the first driven gear disk 25 at its top to make a circular motion. The device operates in a circular motion. The rotation of the first driven gear disk 25 drives the second driven gear disk 27 and the second gear ring 29 to perform circular motion. During the circular motion of the second gear ring 29, multiple sets of stirring columns 31 fixed at its bottom rotate, thereby accelerating the generation of steam inside the water storage tank 13 and improving the extermination effect on red imported fire ants. The stirring plate 30 fixed to the outer circumference of the stirring column 31 is Z-shaped, which not only reduces water resistance during rotation but also increases steam production. Since the motor 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 13, the vibration generated by the motor 22 during its start-up accelerates the generation of steam inside the water storage tank 13. The rotation of the rotating rod 17 and the spiral blade 20 driven by the motor 22 attracts and gathers the generated steam, allowing it to be concentrated and blown into the red imported fire ants and their nests, thus improving the extermination effect of the device on red imported fire ants.
