[0046] The sealing cover, the pheromone tank, the pheromone releasing device and the related disclosed in the embodiments of the present application not only solve the problems of large spraying fog particles and small diffusion range in the prior art, but also ensure the quality and dosage of the pheromone. The solutions in the present application are specifically illustrated by the following embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0047] Firstly, the present application discloses a sealing cover, which has a first inner cavity, a pump device is installed in the first inner cavity, an output end of the pump device is connected with an atomization device through the top end of the sealing cover, a heating device is installed at the output end of the atomization device, which is used for atomizing the liquid pheromone and heating and vaporizing the atomized particles to reach the nanometer level, so as to increase the diffusion range of the sex pheromone in the air.

[0048] In one embodiment, the pumping device uses a peristaltic pump. With a peristaltic pump, the fluid only comes into contact with the hose, which has the advantages of being clean and pollution-free. At the same time, the fluid volume remains constant with each rotation. Therefore, when using a peristaltic pump for pumping, the flow rate is precisely controllable.

[0049] Furthermore, the atomizing device uses an ultrasonic atomizing device, and the heating device uses a heating wire;

[0050] It should be noted that the above configuration is only one of many solutions and should not be considered as a limitation of the present invention. In use, other equipment can be used for the pumping device, atomizing device, and heating device.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The first inner cavity of the sealing cover has a reserved mounting groove 1 for installing a peristaltic pump, and a first through hole 2 is reserved at the top of the first inner cavity for the output end of the peristaltic pump to pass through the through hole and connect to the ultrasonic atomizing device.

[0052] like Figure 2 The top surface of the sealing cap has a groove 3 to provide a stable mounting position for the ultrasonic atomizing device and the heating wire. The shape of the groove 3 matches that of the ultrasonic atomizing device. In this embodiment, it is circular.

[0053] Furthermore, an encryption sub-board 6 is installed on the top surface of the sealing cover, which is used to verify the pheromone and thus ensure the quality of the pheromone.

[0054] Preferably, the encryption sub-board is provided with an interconnection interface 7, which facilitates the connection and communication between the sealing cover and the main control board in the pheromone release device below, thereby reading the data in the data encryption sub-board for decryption and verification.

[0055] In this invention, the overall sealing cap schematic diagram is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. The sealing cap provided in this application is provided with a pumping device 10, an atomizing device 9, and a heating device 8 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside, which facilitates the instantaneous vaporization of pheromones and can achieve nanoscale mist particle size; the present invention can effectively help solve the problem of large pheromone particles and difficulty in diffusion in the prior art.

[0056] Meanwhile, the pheromone vaporization device in this invention has a simpler structure, lower cost, and is less prone to damage compared to existing motor-driven multi-gear solutions. Example 2

[0057] This embodiment discloses a pheromone container, including a bottle body and a sealing cap as described above, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the sealing cap 11 and the bottle body 12 are connected in a non-disassembly manner.

[0058] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, an inner thread is provided on the side of the first inner cavity of the sealing cover in the axial direction, which is used to achieve the initial connection with the bottle body through the thread, and a one-time destruction structure is provided below the thread, i.e., on one side of the top end of the principle sealing cover, to further ensure the reliability of the pheromone quality in the bottle body. Figure 1

[0059] In the present application, the form of the one-time destruction structure is not limited. As shown in the figure, a fixed ring formed by multiple wave plates can also be used, and a theft-proof ring, a pull ring, etc. Figure 1 Embodiment 3

[0060] The present embodiment provides a pheromone automatic release device, which comprises a release driving unit and a sealing cover or a pheromone tank as described above;

[0061] The release driving unit comprises a shell having a second inner cavity, which is matched in shape with the sealing cover;

[0062] A through hole is reserved on the surface of the shell, which is matched with the output end of the atomization device in the sealing cover;

[0063] And the second inner cavity has a main control board mounting layer inside, which is used to install a main control board, and the main control board is electrically connected with the pumping device, the atomization device and the heating device in the sealing cover.

[0064] In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the inner shell 14 is embedded in the shell 16, and the interlayer formed by the shell 16 and the inner shell 14 serves as the main control board mounting layer. The shell 16 and the inner shell 14 have a second through hole 13 with the same axis, and the diameter of the second through hole of the inner shell 14 is smaller than that of the second through hole of the shell 16. Further, in the present application, the through hole of the inner shell 14 is provided with a protruding structure on one side of the upper surface, which is used to pass through the through hole of the shell 16 and be exposed outside, and this structure can effectively guide the gasified gas to the outside of the pheromone release device, avoiding leakage between the shell and the inner shell. Figure 5 Further, a plurality of first plug-in connectors are installed on the inner side of the top surface of the inner shell 14, and a plurality of second plug-in connectors 4 matched with the first plug-in connectors are provided on the upper surface of the top end of the sealing cover, so that the sealing cover or the pheromone tank can be connected with the release driving unit during use. Preferably, the inner shell 14 and the second plug-in connectors 4 on the sealing cover can also be fixed by screws.

[0065] In order to facilitate the identification and verification of the encryption daughter board on the pheromone tank or the sealing cover by the main control board, in the present application, the encryption daughter board is first fixed by a plurality of support columns 5, so as to have a suitable height corresponding to the main control position.

[0066] ​​​

[0067] In order to further optimize the above technical solutions, facilitate the main control board to identify the encryption daughter board, the application sets a reserved hole 15 at the corresponding position of the inner shell to weaken the shielding of the inner shell 14 to the signal.

[0068] Meanwhile, the application also provides a connection mode of the encryption daughter board and the main control board.

[0069] In one embodiment, the solar panel is arranged obliquely outside the shell, and the electric energy storage unit such as a lithium battery is installed inside the shell to charge by using natural energy, solve the power supply problem, and increase the endurance. Thus, the electric quantity is provided for the whole release device, and the device needs to be placed in an outdoor area with sufficient solar energy. In the running process, when the battery electric quantity is reduced to a certain procedure, the device automatically enters the sleep mode to reduce the power consumption and protect the battery. Since the solar charging is used, there is no need to replace the battery on site.

[0070] In another embodiment, the structure of the main control board in the application is as shown in Figure 6 The main control board further includes a clock module, a wireless communication module, a buzzer and an LED state indicator.

[0071] The clock module is used for timing the start of the pheromone release device, such as sleeping in the daytime and releasing at night, to adapt to the circadian rhythm of insect courtship.

[0072] The wireless communication module is used for receiving and transmitting wireless data, and after analyzing the effective command or data through the self-defined protocol, corresponding control or parameter setting is performed, and the buzzer or indicator light is responded, and at the same time, the device regularly reports the state and data to the platform through the wireless module, and the computer end and the APP end can view the device state and data, and when the idle period, the wireless module is in the sleep state, and the power consumption is reduced.

[0073] In the application, the main control module is responsible for the logic operation of the whole device, input and output control, decryption and authentication, and wireless communication control.

[0074] When the pheromone release device is powered on and initialized, the internal flash information is read, the encryption daughter board is verified, and whether the setting parameter exists is obtained after the verification is passed. If the setting parameter exists, the setting parameter is loaded into the memory and operated according to the local parameter, the peristaltic pump is automatically controlled to suck the sex pheromone through the set parameter, the ultrasonic wave device is contacted to atomize the sex pheromone, and the sex pheromone is gasified through the heated heating wire, so that the atomized particles reach the nanometer level, and the diffusion range of the sex pheromone in the air is increased.

[0075] It should be noted that the encryption and decryption verification method in the present application is a mature technology, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0076] In addition, in use, the pheromone releasing device can be fixed using a fixing member, and in the embodiment, the fixing member has a structure as shown in Figure 7 The fixing member includes a ring-shaped clamping portion 17 having an opening at one end and a ring-shaped tightening fixing portion 18 at the other end.

[0077] The pheromone automatic releasing device can realize automatic release of pheromones, effectively ensure the reliability of the quality of pheromones, and reduce the cost and improve the flexibility of use by setting the identification part and the encryption part as independent individuals.

[0078] The release driving unit can be repeatedly used, and the buyer only needs to purchase it once. Meanwhile, the purchased packaged pheromone tank can further prevent the pheromone from being replaced by the detachable structure of the bottle body and the sealing cover. In addition, the sealing cover can be recycled for repeated use after the pheromone is used up. In the whole process, the release driving unit and the sealing cover are repeatedly used components, which further simplifies the structure of the device and reduces the cost on the basis of ensuring the quality of pheromones and improving the diffusion effect. Embodiment 4

[0079] The embodiment further discloses a pheromone releasing method, which includes the following steps:

[0080] Before releasing the pheromone, the pheromone is verified and identified. After the identification is passed, the pump taking device extracts the pheromone, which is then released after being atomized by the atomizing device and heated by the heating wire.

[0081] Through the scheme disclosed in the present application, nanoscale mist particle size can be obtained, and the utilization efficiency and the area range of sex pheromones can be improved. Other beneficial effects include:

[0082] 1. Ensure the standard use of sex pheromones and ensure the effect of mating interference.

[0083] By using electronic encryption of the medicine tank, the correct use can be ensured after the authentication of the spraying device, which ensures the reliability of the source of the pheromone.

[0084] 2. Improve the gasification effect, reduce the diameter of the mist particles, enhance the diffusion range of the sex pheromones, and improve the use effect and range of the sex pheromones.

[0085] By ultrasonic atomization combined with heating wire gasification, the uniformity of the diffusion of sex pheromones is ensured, which is more easily diffused than the original liquid spraying method, and the problem of the inability of liquid to expand the use area is solved.

[0086] 3. Simplified structure, reduced cost and improved stability.

[0087] The heating wire gasification is adopted, compared with the original motor scheme, the structure is simpler, the gear and other vulnerable parts are reduced, the stability is improved, and the power consumption is reduced.

[0088] 4. Simple operation and maintenance

[0089] The time parameters are set wirelessly or remotely, the on-site feedback can be realized through the buzzer or indicator light, and the remote can realize the checking of the equipment running state, parameters and deployment position distribution through the computer webpage end or mobile phone APP end.

[0090] In order to verify the method, the output mist particle diameter is tested:

[0091] Test method:

[0092] The pheromone release device is aligned with the Winner311-XP laser particle size analyzer to the middle sample inlet of the instrument, after the equipment is started, the release device is started to spray, the laser particle size analyzer detects the particle size of the mist sprayed by the spray agent and classifies various particle sizes.

[0093] The test results are shown in Figure 8 , and it can be known through the detection that the particle group sprayed by the pheromone release device is composed of a large number of particles of different sizes. According to the particle size, it is divided into several orders. Specifically:

[0094] The particle cumulative distribution is 10% of the particle size of 0.196µm, that is, the volume content of the particles with a particle size less than 0.196µm accounts for 10% of the total particles.

[0095] The particle cumulative distribution is 50% of the particle size of 0.302µm, that is, the volume content of the particles with a particle size less than 0.302µm accounts for 50% of the total particles.

[0096] The particle cumulative distribution is 90% of the particle size of 0.842µm, that is, the volume content of the particles with a particle size less than 0.842µm accounts for 90% of the total particles.

[0097] It can be seen that overall, the volume content of the particles with a particle size less than 1µm accounts for 92.604% of the total particles.

[0098] In addition, the pheromone release device provided by the application is applied to the field, as shown in Figure 9 , mating interference test is carried out, wherein the mating interference results of the male moths of the boring pests Chilo suppressalis and Ytoma unipuncta which harm rice are shown in Figure 10 ; the mating interference results of the male moths of the tomato leaf webbing moth which harms tomato are shown in Figure 11 ;
