Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of insect trapping, in particular to an insect trap for tomato planting. Background Art
[0002] During the cultivation of tomatoes and other plants, diseases are a significant factor affecting yield. Common tomato diseases include early blight, late blight, gray mold, viral diseases, bacterial wilt, and root rot. These diseases can weaken plant growth, reduce yield, impact income, and ultimately affect consumer health. Many tomato diseases are caused by insects, including aphids, cotton bollworms, and whiteflies, which damage tomato plants and fruit. These pests and diseases can severely impact tomato yield and quality, requiring growers to implement preventive and therapeutic measures to ensure healthy growth and a bountiful harvest. Therefore, various methods are used to trap insects, including light traps, traps, chemical traps, and visual traps.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with authorization publication number CN218681420U discloses a light-based trap for tomato leafminers, comprising a waterproof cover, an insect-blocking plate, an insect-collecting water tray, and a trapping lamp. The utility model can be placed directly on the ground to trap more moths and eggs, greatly improving the prevention and control effect. However, the existing technology has major defects in the collection and processing of moths after trapping. A small number of moths can be collected by the moths themselves falling into the insect-collecting water tray, and the tray needs to be replaced regularly, which causes great inconvenience and greatly affects the trapping efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0032] Embodiment: An insect trap for tomato planting includes a barrel 3, in which a barrel 3 and a crushing plate 26 are fixedly installed. A trapping lamp is mounted on a lampshade 4 and can be closed by lifting the barrel 33. Then, insects are sucked into the space between the circular plate 13 and the crushing plate 26 by a pump 1, and then soil is transported to the crushing plate 26 by a spiral roller 23. The insects and soil are crushed together by a crushing roller 28 and sprinkled outside.
[0033] A sleeve 12 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the circular plate 13, and a short rod 11 is slidably installed on the inner side of the sleeve 12. Two through holes are provided on the circular plate 13, and a baffle 14 is slidably installed on the circular plate 13. The baffle 14 can slide to block the through holes. A connecting rod 15 is hinged on the baffle 14, and the connecting rod 15 is hinged to the bottom end of the short rod 11. A return spring 16 is fixedly installed between the short rod 11 and the sleeve 12. A connecting frame 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the short rod 11, and a lampshade 4 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 5. A lamp holder 6 is provided on the top of the lampshade 4, and a trapping lamp is installed in the lamp holder 6. When the trapping lamp is turned on, the lampshade 4 can focus light downward to lure insects.
[0034] Two mounting seats 10 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the barrel 3, and the two mounting seats 10 are symmetrically arranged. An electric cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the mounting seat 10, and a connecting rod 8 is fixedly installed on the cylinder arm of the electric cylinder 7. A lifting barrel 33 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting rod 8. The lifting barrel 33 is slidably installed in the barrel 3. The lifting barrel 33 slides upward to form a closed space between the lampshade 4, the lifting barrel 33, the barrel 3 and the circular plate 13. The lifting barrel 33 continues to rise and pushes the lampshade 4 upward. The lampshade 4 drives the baffle 14 to open the through hole through the connecting rod 15.
[0035] Two pumps 1 are provided on the outside of the barrel 3. A straight pipe 2 is provided on the pump 1. The straight pipe 2 is connected to a curved pipe 25. The curved pipe 25 is connected to a ventilation pipe 24. The ventilation pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the circular plate 13. The ventilation pipe 24 is connected to the through hole on the circular plate 13. When the through hole is opened, the pump 1 starts to suck the insects into between the circular plate 13 and the crushing plate 26.
[0036] A rotating motor 17 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the circular plate 13, and a connecting shaft 18 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 17. A matching barrel 19 and a spiral roller 23 are fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 18. A cross bar 22 is fixedly mounted on the crushing plate 26, and a transport barrel 21 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the cross bar 22. The transport barrel 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the barrel 3, and a ratchet 20 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the transport barrel 21. Four ratchet pawls 31 are slidingly mounted in the matching barrel 19. A limiting spring 32 is fixedly mounted between the ratchet 31 and the matching barrel 19. The ratchet 31 cooperates with the ratchet 20. The rotating motor 17 drives the connecting shaft 18 to rotate through the spiral roller 23 to take soil from the ground and fall on the crushing plate 26. At this time, the ratchet 31 will not drive the ratchet 20. When the rotating motor 17 reverses, the ratchet 31 will drive the ratchet 20 to rotate.
[0037] A push rod 30 is fixed to the bottom of the transport bucket 21, and the push rod 30 is also located at the bottom of the bucket 3. The bottom of the bucket 3 is also provided with multiple openings 9. The transport bucket 21 drives the push rod 30 to rotate and sprinkle the mixture of insects and soil into the ground.
[0038] The upper opening of the curved tube 25 is larger than the lower opening. Eight pulverizing rollers 28 are rotatably mounted at the lower opening. Four rollers form a group and are located on either side of the crossbar 22. A gear 29 is fixed to one end of each pulverizing roller 28. Adjacent gears 29 mesh with each other. One pulverizing roller 28 in each group is driven by a pulverizing motor 27. When the motor 17 is activated, the pulverizing rollers 28 rotate, pulverizing and thoroughly mixing the insects and soil.
[0039] Working principle: Place the bottom ends of the pump 1 and the barrel 3 on the land in the tomato planting area, and the spiral roller 23 is located underground. Start the trapping lamp, which will attract a large number of photophilic insects at night. When the number of insects reaches a specified value, start the electric cylinder 7, and the electric cylinder 7 drives the lifting barrel 33 upward through the connecting rod 8. The upper end of the lifting barrel 33 presses against the lampshade 4, driving the lampshade 4 to move upward. The lampshade 4 drives the short rod 11 to move upward through the connecting frame 5. The short rod 11 drives the baffle 14 to slide on the circular plate 13 through the connecting rod 15, opening the originally blocked through-hole. After that, start the pump 1, and start suction through the straight pipe 2, the vent pipe 24 and the bent pipe 25 to suck the insects on the upper side of the circular plate 13 into the circular plate 13. On the lower side, at the same time, the rotating motor 17 is started, and the rotating motor 17 drives the connecting shaft 18 and the spiral roller 23 to rotate. The spiral roller 23 rotates to send the underground soil along the transport barrel 21 into the space between the circular plate 13 and the crushing plate 26. Then the crushing motor 27 is started, and the crushing motor 27 drives the crushing roller 28 to rotate, crushing the insects mixed with the soil and dropping them to the lower side of the crushing plate 26. After the crushing is completed, the rotating motor 17 is reversed. At this time, the matching barrel 19 drives the ratchet 20 to rotate through the pawl 31, and the ratchet 20 drives the spiral roller 23 to rotate through the transport barrel 21. The rotation of the spiral roller 23 drives the crushed soil and insects to fall through the opening 9 to the surface of the land outside as fertilizer.
