Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rodent control, in particular, to a zokor driving device and a method of using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] Zokors live underground all year round and gnaw the roots of plants, making it difficult for plants to survive and bear fruit, causing huge economic losses to farmers. Especially in areas where crops or Chinese herbal medicines are grown, the impact is greater. The loss in Shaanxi Province alone is tens of billions of yuan, and the annual loss of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry due to rodent damage in China can reach hundreds of billions of yuan. For example, Zhenba County in southern Shaanxi, located in the hinterland of the Qinling-Daba Mountains, is rich in Chinese herbal medicine resources, with a planting area of 200,000 mu and 236 species of herbal medicines. However, the underground activities of zokors have seriously affected the survival rate and preservation rate of crops or Chinese herbal medicines. It is necessary to limit the activities of zokors.

[0003] The existing method is to capture or drive by using a mouse trapping device. The mouse trapping device uses food to attract mice and captures them when they approach or eat. However, zokors live underground and are not easy to catch. The utility model patent with the title of "Intelligent mouse driving device" and the publication number "CN203523634U" discloses an intelligent mouse driving device, which includes a power supply for providing power for the mouse driving device, an infrared detector for real-time detection of the mouse driving area, a processing controller for receiving and processing the signals detected by the infrared detector, and a sound wave emitter connected to the output end of the processing controller. The invention patent with the title of "Electronic mouse driver" and the publication number "CN101327766B" discloses an electronic mouse driver, which includes a mouse driving signal generating device, and the mouse driving signal generating device includes an oscillator and an ultrasonic generator. Both of them drive mice through sound waves. However, on the one hand, the effect of sound waves on zokors is gradual and not immediately apparent, reducing the driving effect. On the other hand, the generation of sound waves requires complex circuitry, power supply, etc. The circuitry is not convenient to use underground, and long-term placement underground can cause serious soil pollution due to battery leakage. On the other hand, sound waves can affect the hearing, organs, etc. of other organisms, including earthworms, soil nematodes, etc. that are beneficial to plants, especially ultrasonic waves, which can be fatal to organisms and are not conducive to the sustainable development of the ecological environment.

[0004] In summary, the existing mouse driving device can have harmful effects on other organisms or the environment and is not suitable for long-term and large-scale use. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to solve the problem of the existing mouse driving device, which can have harmful effects on other organisms or the environment and is not suitable for long-term and large-scale use.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0007] The application provides a kind of zokor expelling device, which comprises horizontal pipe, horizontal pipe is horizontally arranged, the upper side of the pipe wall of horizontal pipe is provided with vertical pipe, vertical pipe is vertically arranged, the lower end of vertical pipe is communicated with the upper side pipe wall of horizontal pipe, the upper wall of horizontal pipe is provided with air outlet, the number of vertical pipe is greater than or equal to 2, the head and tail of horizontal pipe are communicated, to form closed loop, horizontal pipe is filled with expelling liquid, and the material of horizontal pipe is hard material.

[0008] Further, the upper side of the horizontal pipe is provided with a groove, the direction of the groove is parallel to the central axis direction of the horizontal pipe, and the groove does not penetrate the horizontal pipe.

[0009] Further, the groove wall is provided with a plurality of through air outlets, and the air outlets are circular.

[0010] Further, the inner wall of the horizontal pipe is provided with an adsorbing object suspended at the upper end, and the distance between the adsorbing object and the bottom end of the horizontal pipe is greater than 1 cm.

[0011] Further, the pipe wall of the vertical pipe is provided with an air inlet, the air inlet is a through hole, and the air inlet has a plurality of air inlets.

[0012] Further, the inner diameter of the middle part of the vertical pipe is smaller than the inner diameters of the upper and lower end parts.

[0013] Further, the material of the horizontal pipe is hard plastic or hard alloy, and the material of the vertical pipe is elastic material.

[0014] Further, the inner wall of the lower end of the vertical pipe is fixedly provided with an extension, the extension extends downward, and there is a gap between the lower end of the extension and the inner wall of the horizontal pipe.

[0015] Further, the extension is in the shape of a plate, and a plurality of disturbance holes are arranged on the extension.

[0016] The use method of the above-mentioned zokor expelling device is as follows: the horizontal pipe is horizontally arranged around the planting range to be protected to form a closed loop; the horizontal pipe is buried in the soil with a burial depth of 10-30 cm, the upper end of the vertical pipe is above the ground, and the height of the vertical pipe above the ground is one-third to two-thirds of the height of the vertical pipe; the expelling liquid is added to the device from the upper end of the vertical pipe, and the expelling liquid is fox urine.

Simultaneously, the scent will not have harmful effects on other organisms or the environment, making it suitable for long-term, large-scale use. Furthermore, the device does not require electricity, thus avoiding potential environmental pollution, and does not require regular battery replacements; it is convenient to use and has a good repelling effect.

[0021] Icons: 1 - Horizontal pipe; 2 - Vertical pipe. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the implementation process of this invention clearer, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] This invention provides a mole rat repelling device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a horizontal pipe 1 arranged horizontally and a vertical pipe 2 arranged vertically. The vertical pipe 2 is located on the upper wall of the horizontal pipe 1, and its lower end is connected to the upper wall of the horizontal pipe 1. The horizontal pipe 1 is connected end to end, forming a closed loop in which liquid can be contained. Alternatively, both ends of the horizontal pipe 1 can be blocked to form a linear repellent device. Preferably, the loop is formed and arranged in a rectangular or other easily enclosed shape in the horizontal plane around the planting area to be protected. In this way, mole rats will smell the repellent liquid and will not easily approach the device, thus protecting the plants inside. The upper end of the vertical pipe 2 can be equipped with a plug or cap to prevent rainwater from entering the device, and also to prevent excessive dissipation of the repellent liquid from the upper end of the vertical pipe 2, thus preventing it from entering the soil and reducing the repellent effect.

[0024] The horizontal pipe 1 is used for containing the repellent liquid, which is a liquid that is not liked or feared by zokors, such as fox urine. The vertical pipe 2 is used for injecting the repellent liquid into the horizontal pipe 1, and the repellent liquid is introduced from the upper end of the vertical pipe 2, passes through the connected pipe, and enters the horizontal pipe 1. Since the horizontal pipe 1 is horizontally arranged, the repellent liquid can flow in the horizontal pipe 1. The repellent liquid in the horizontal pipe 1 is stable at a certain height, which is related to the volume of the repellent liquid poured. The highest height of the repellent liquid does not exceed two-thirds of the diameter of the horizontal pipe 1. In this way, the horizontal pipe 1 can ensure a certain air flow, so that the smell of the repellent liquid is more easily smelled by zokors. The horizontal pipe 1 is provided with gas outlets on the pipe wall. The gas outlets are arranged on the upper side of the horizontal pipe 1. The gas is lighter and moves upward, which is used to emit the smell of the repellent liquid. There are a plurality of gas outlets, and the number of gas outlets per unit length of the horizontal pipe 1 is not less than 10.

[0025] The vertical pipe 2 is provided in a plurality, and the number is greater than or equal to 2. The plurality of vertical pipes 2 are arranged, on the one hand, to facilitate the pouring or adding of the repellent liquid at multiple positions, and on the other hand, the upper end of the vertical pipe 2 can flow into air, so that the gas flow in the horizontal pipe 1 is accelerated, thereby enabling the repellent liquid molecules to be emitted to a farther distance under the driving of air, and enhancing the repellent effect. The number and spacing of the vertical pipes 2 are not specifically limited, and preferably, the number of vertical pipes 2 per 10 meters is greater than 2. In this way, it is convenient to add the repellent liquid to the device, and at the same time, air flows into the top end of the vertical pipe 2, so that the air flow in the horizontal pipe 1 is enhanced, thereby enabling the smell of the repellent liquid emitted from the gas outlet to be transmitted to a farther distance. The material of the horizontal pipe 1 is a hard material, and specifically, the material of the horizontal pipe 1 can be a hard plastic or a hard alloy, which is not easy to deform when buried in the ground. The material of the vertical pipe 2 can be a hard material or an elastic material.

[0026] The heights of adjacent vertical pipes 2 can be the same or different. Preferably, the heights of adjacent vertical pipes 2 are different, which can be arranged alternately high and low, or arranged from high to low or from low to high. In this way, the adjacent vertical pipes 2 with different heights form different air pressures, so that the gas flow in the horizontal pipe 1 between the two vertical pipes 2 is stronger. Specifically, the vertical upward suction forces formed by the vertical pipes 2 with different heights are different in size, so that the pressure at the lower end position of the adjacent vertical pipes 2 is different in size, forming a pressure difference, so that the gas flow in the horizontal pipe 1 between them is enhanced, thereby emitting a farther distance and enhancing the repellent effect. A plurality of liquid storage portions are arranged on the lower side wall of the horizontal pipe 1. The liquid storage portions are recessed structures, which can be spherical recessed structures. The liquid storage portions are not arranged directly below the vertical pipe 2, so as to avoid excessive evaporation directly below the vertical pipe 2, which will reduce the amount of repellent liquid. When there is repellent liquid in the horizontal pipe 1, the space of the liquid storage portion is filled first due to the lower position of the liquid storage portion, and then the horizontal pipe 1 is filled. In this way, more repellent liquid can be stored in the horizontal pipe 1, reducing the frequency of adding the repellent liquid and making the use more convenient.

[0027] The length of the horizontal tube 1 is determined by the planting area to be protected, with the standard being that it can surround the entire planting area. The burial depth of the horizontal tube 1 is 10-30cm. The height of the vertical tube 2 is not specifically limited, but the height of the vertical tube 2 above the ground is one-third to two-thirds of its total height. This provides a certain distance from the ground, allowing for better air circulation. The airflow entering from the upper end of the vertical tube 2 is also better, resulting in greater kinetic energy driving the repellent liquid molecules inside the horizontal tube 1, and a longer distance for the odor emitted from the vent. The inner diameter of the horizontal tube 1 and the vertical tube 2 is not specifically required, but preferably, the inner diameter is 10-40cm.

[0028] Furthermore, based on the above scheme, such as Figure 2 As shown, a groove is provided on the upper wall of the horizontal pipe 1. The direction of the groove is parallel to the central axis of the horizontal pipe, and the groove does not penetrate the wall of the horizontal pipe 1. The shape of the groove can be rectangular, triangular, circular, etc. Preferably, the groove is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, specifically as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The trapezoidal shape shown can also be a minor arc, meaning a portion of a circle larger than a semicircle. Through-holes are provided on the inner wall of the groove, and vents are also provided on the bottom and side walls. These vents release the scent of the repellent liquid, which dissipates into the soil. Mole rats dislike the scent of the repellent liquid and thus stay away from the protected planting area, protecting the plants. The top-narrow, bottom-wide groove prevents the interior from being covered by soil, and the narrow inlet blocks most of the soil from entering, preventing the vents from being blocked and ensuring good ventilation. Furthermore, the top-narrow, bottom-wide groove creates a converging shape; when the airflow is weak, the groove gathers the scent of the repellent liquid, and when the airflow is strong, the accumulated scent is dispersed. With a stronger airflow, the accumulated scent can travel further, resulting in a better repellent effect.

[0029] The air vents are circular in shape and can be evenly or unevenly distributed. The diameter of the air vents is 5-10 mm, and the spacing is 0.5-1.5 times the diameter. Preferably, the spacing of the air vents on the sidewall of the groove is smaller than the spacing of the air vents at the bottom of the groove, and the former also has a smaller diameter. The closer to the top, the smaller the spacing and the smaller the diameter. In this way, there are more air vents on the upper side. Inside the horizontal tube 1, the gas is lighter and gathers in the upper part of the horizontal tube 1. The above distribution of the air vents allows the odor to be better emitted from inside the horizontal tube 1, ultimately enhancing the repellent effect.

[0030] The inner wall of the horizontal pipe 1 is provided with an adsorbent at the upper end, and the distance between the adsorbent and the bottom end of the horizontal pipe is greater than 1 cm. The adsorbent can be a water-absorbing material such as cotton or cotton fiber. The adsorbent adsorbs the driving liquid. When the gas flows, the adsorbent swings with the gas, thereby pushing the gas and liquid in the horizontal pipe 1, enhancing the flow of the gas and liquid in the horizontal pipe 1, increasing the disturbance of the liquid to increase the flow of the gas, thereby making the flow of the gas stronger, and ultimately enhancing the driving effect.

[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the inner diameter of the vertical pipe 2 at different heights is not the same. The inner diameter of the middle part of the vertical pipe 2 is smaller than that of the upper and lower ends, and the inner diameter from top to bottom presents a shape of first becoming smaller and then becoming larger. In this way, the upper end is larger and presents a funnel shape, which is convenient for pouring the driving liquid and is not easy to spill; the lower end presents a shape of becoming wider from narrow, and the connection between the horizontal pipe 1 and the vertical pipe 2 is more gentle, so that the kinetic energy loss of the air entering the upper end of the vertical pipe 2 is smaller when flowing into the horizontal pipe 1, thereby the flow speed is larger, the flow speed is faster after flowing into the horizontal pipe 1, and finally the driving liquid molecules move faster and spread farther, and the driving effect is better. At the same time, the inner diameter of the middle part is the smallest. According to the theory of fluid dynamics, the flow speed of the gas at the smaller inner diameter is faster. In this way, the thinner middle position accelerates the entering gas, so that the flow speed of the gas in the horizontal pipe 2 is faster, and the driving effect is enhanced.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3 , the pipe wall of the vertical pipe 2 is provided with air inlet holes. The air inlet holes are through holes, the shape of the air inlet holes is circular, there are multiple air inlet holes, the diameter of the air inlet holes can be 3-8 mm, and the spacing of the air inlet holes is not specifically limited. The closer to the upper end, the smaller the spacing of the air inlet holes, and the more the air inlet holes. The flow of the air above is stronger, which can make more air flow into the device, enhance the movement of the driving liquid molecules, and enhance the driving effect. The setting of the air inlet holes makes the flowing air enter the device from the air inlet holes, improves the flow of the air inside the device, and ultimately improves the driving effect. The direction of the air inlet holes can be horizontal, can be inclined downward, or can be inclined upward. Preferably, the direction of the air inlet holes is inclined downward, and the inclination angle is the same as the tangential direction of the maximum bending degree of the narrow-to-wide part on the lower side of the pipe wall. In this way, on the one hand, when the driving liquid is poured, the driving liquid will not flow out of the pipe wall of the vertical pipe 2, and on the other hand, the downward inclined hole direction makes the flow direction of the entering air flow inclined downward and enter the horizontal pipe 1 along the tangential direction of the lower side. In this way, the flow speed of the gas is reduced the least, the speed is larger when entering the horizontal pipe 1, the flow of the gas inside the horizontal pipe 1 is stronger, and the driving effect is better. The air inlet can be arranged around the pipe wall of the vertical pipe 2, which can convert any direction of wind into the flow of the internal gas, thereby enhancing the driving effect.

[0033] Further, the material of the vertical pipe 2 is an elastic material such as silicone rubber, polybutylene, polyisoprene, etc. The elasticity should not be too large, so that the vertical pipe 2 buried in the soil does not produce large deformation, and the upper end can swing with the air. In this way, when the air flows, the vertical pipe 2 with elasticity can move with the flow of the air and swing. The swinging vertical pipe 2 provides disturbance to the air inside the horizontal pipe 1, so that the air inside the horizontal pipe 1 is in a flowing state, thereby enhancing the kinetic energy of the driven liquid molecules, ultimately increasing the propagation distance and improving the driving effect.

[0034] The lower end of the vertical pipe 2 is fixedly provided with an extension portion, which extends downward, and there is a gap between the lower end of the extension portion and the inner wall of the horizontal pipe 1. The extension portion is in the shape of a plate and can be made of a hard material or an elastic material. The extension portion swings with the swinging of the vertical pipe 2, increases the horizontal pushing effect, and provides more horizontal kinetic energy for the air inside the horizontal pipe 1, so that the flow intensity of the gas inside the horizontal pipe 1 is greater, the air-driven liquid molecules move farther, and the driving effect is better. Further, the extension portion is provided with a plurality of disturbance holes, which penetrate the extension portion. The disturbance holes are of two types, one type is a horn-shaped small hole that increases from left to right, and the other type is a converging small hole that decreases from left to right. The setting of the two types of small holes, when the gas flows, for example, the air flows from left to right, the horn-shaped small hole enlarges the disturbance area of the air, so that the influence range of the gas flow is larger, and the converging small hole increases the flow speed of the gas; the air passing through the extension portion produces superimposed interference, so that the air flow rate in the horizontal pipe 1 increases and the non-uniformity is greater, further enhancing the movement of the driven liquid molecules, and ultimately improving the driving effect. The number of the two types of disturbance holes is equivalent and uniformly distributed on the extension portion.

[0035] In use, the horizontal pipe 1 is placed under the ground, and the upper end of the vertical pipe 2 is above the ground. The driving liquid is added to the device from the upper end of the vertical pipe 2, and the driving liquid is contained in the horizontal pipe 1. Under the flow of the gas, the driving liquid molecules are dispersed from the air outlet hole of the horizontal pipe 1 into the soil, and the nearby zokor smells the smell, and the zokor moves away from the protected area, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the plants.

[0036] The use method of the above-mentioned device for expelling Zokor is as follows: the horizontal pipe 1 is horizontally arranged around the planting range to be protected to form a closed loop; the horizontal pipe 1 is buried in the soil with a buried depth of 10-30 cm, the upper end of the vertical pipe 2 is above the ground, and the height of the vertical pipe 2 above the ground is one third to two thirds of the height of the vertical pipe; the expelling liquid, which is not liked and feared by Zokor, such as fox urine, is added into the device from the upper end of the vertical pipe 2. The device is convenient to use, can work without power supply, is safe and environmentally friendly, conforms to the concept of sustainable development, and is suitable for wide application and use to reduce the economic loss of plants caused by Zokor.

[0037] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
