Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural pest trapping, in particular to a harmless reusable grain storage pest trap. BACKGROUND

[0002] Food is the first necessity of the people, China is a big agricultural country, and a large amount of grain and its processed products need to be stored every year. During the storage of grain and its processed products, pests often cause damage. Common stored grain pests include rice weevils, rice moths, corn weevils, rice mealworms, and grain thieves. First, the occurrence of pests will directly lead to the loss of grain. Second, the germination ability of grain eaten by pests will decrease or even be lost, which may have a serious negative impact on agricultural production. Third, the life activities of pests will exacerbate the heating of stored grain, promote the reproduction of microorganisms, and accelerate the mold and rot of stored grain. In addition, the life activities of pests will also produce excrement, exuviae, and carcasses, which will lead to a decrease in the quality of stored grain and even harm human health. Therefore, the first choice for stored grain and its processed products should be a harmless physical killing and removal method, because the main function of grain is to feed humans or other animals. Chemical and other killing methods are prone to produce chemical or other impurities. The existing market pest killing methods or devices generally have high investment costs, complex devices, non-harmless, and one-time problems. The present application discloses a harmless reusable grain storage pest trap. SUMMARY

[0004] The harmless reusable grain storage pest trap comprises:

[0005] The bait chamber is used to place bait and has an opening surface.

[0006] The induction finger is connected to the opening surface of the bait chamber and forms a bait-induction sealed cavity with the bait chamber.

[0007] The sealing assembly is connected to the end of the induction lip and the bait-induction sealed cavity, seals the bait-induction sealed cavity, and can permeate the smell of the bait at the same time.

[0008] The induction lip is connected to the sealing assembly at one end and is open to the outside space at the other end, and is used to capture pests.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the application are that the harmless reusable grain storage pest trap has the beneficial effects of simple structure, easy industrial production, low manufacturing cost, harmlessness, reusability, wide application scenarios, and good pest trapping effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] For a better understanding of the present application, various aspects of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are only descriptions of exemplary embodiments of the present application and do not limit the scope of the present application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

[0018] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the components have been slightly exaggerated for ease of illustration. The drawings are only examples and are not strictly drawn to scale.

[0019] It should also be understood that the words "comprise", "comprising", "include", "including", "contain", "containing", "have", "having", "composed of", "comprise of", when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0020] The harmless and reusable grain storage pest trap comprises five parts: a bait chamber 1, an induction finger 2, a sealing strip 3, an induction lip 4, and bait 5. The bait chamber 1, the induction finger 2, the sealing strip 3, and the induction lip 4 are sequentially connected, and the bait 5 is placed inside the grain storage pest trap.

[0021] The bait chamber 1 is a sealed cavity. The side of the sealed cavity is a corrugated structure 1b, which can change the size of the bait chamber 1 by stretching and contracting, thereby compressing or inhaling air. The bottom of the sealed cavity is a flat surface, which is called a drum surface 1a. An impact wave can be generated by hitting the drum surface 1a, which can stun the captured pests or make them enter a state of false death. The sealed cavity is used to place the bait 5.

[0022] The induction finger 2 is an inner hollow pipe with one large end and one small end. The induction finger 2 is used to connect the sealing strip 3 and the bait chamber 1, and to induce pests to enter the induction lip 4.

[0023] The sealing strip 3 is two magnets that attract each other. The two magnets sandwich the flexible end of the induction finger 2. The attraction of the magnets can prevent pests from entering the bait chamber 1. The attracting sealing strip 3 can permeate the smell of the bait 5 in the bait chamber 1.

[0024] The sealing strip 3 can also be in other sealing forms, such as the engaging sealing strip III, which comprises a sealing concave strip IIIa and a sealing convex strip IIIb. The sealing concave strip IIIa and the sealing convex strip IIIb can engage together. The engaging sealing strip III has a pre-tightness in the natural state and cannot separate by itself. If the sealing concave strip IIIa and the sealing convex strip IIIb are to be separated, a pulling force in the opposite direction needs to be applied to them. The engaging sealing strip III can prevent pests from entering the bait chamber 1. The engaging sealing strip III can permeate the smell of the bait 5 in the bait chamber 1.

[0025] The induction lip 4 is an inner hollow flat pipe. The smell of the bait 5 in the bait chamber 1 spreads out through the induction lip 4. The inner side of the induction lip 4 has a check valve 4a, which has flexibility and can close by itself after pests enter, preventing the escaped pests from entering the induction lip 4.

[0026] The bait 5 can be a single or mixed, natural or roasted grain or grain powder, or other green and harmless synthetic bait 5.

[0027] The grain pest trap can be made of at least one or more materials selected from plastic, cardboard, metal, or other non-metallic materials, combined or spliced ​​together.

[0028] When the stored grain pest trap is cleaning up pests, it first strikes the drum surface 1a of the bait chamber 1 to stun or induce a state of apparent death in the captured pests. Then, it opens the sealing strip 3, causing the inducing lip 4 to open naturally. Pressing the drum surface 1a of the bait chamber 1 generates airflow through the expansion and contraction of the corrugated structure 1b to clear out the pests. The bait 5 can also be replaced for reuse.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, the grain pest trap includes at least a bait chamber 1, an inducing finger 2, a sealing strip 3, an inducing lip 4, and bait 5. The grain pest trap can also be combined or otherwise derived to increase the bait chamber 1, the inducing finger 2, the sealing strip 3, and the inducing lip 4, thereby improving the trapping of grain pests.

[0030] When the grain pest trap of the present invention is working, the bait 5 in the bait chamber 1 emits an odor. The odor is dispersed into the surrounding environment through the induction finger 2, the sealing strip 3 and the induction lip 4. When the grain pest receives the odor of the bait 5 during its movement, it attempts to enter the bait chamber 1 through the induction lip 4. The grain pest is blocked by the sealing strip 3 inside the induction lip 3. The check plate 4a of the induction lip 4 prevents the grain pest from escaping from the induction lip 4. In the end, the grain pest will be trapped inside the induction lip 4.
