Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of storage technology, specifically to a pest trapping device. Background Technology
[0002] Storage pests refer to insects that cause damage to stored goods such as grains, medicinal herbs, dried fruits, and books during storage, transportation, or processing. They can cause various forms of harm, potentially leading to a decline in quality, a reduction in quantity, or even complete destruction of stored goods, resulting in economic losses. To control storage pest infestations, effective preventative and control measures must be implemented in advance.
[0003] Monitoring stored pests is a crucial measure for ensuring preventative measures. Commonly used pest monitoring methods include trapping, induction, infrared detection, gas monitoring, temperature monitoring, sound monitoring, and image and video monitoring. Trapping uses bait materials that pests like, such as grains or attractants, placed at monitoring points, and then periodically checked to see if pests have been attracted. Because pest activity generates slight heat, infrared detection uses infrared sensors to monitor the body temperature of pests. Pests release specific odors, and instruments such as gas chromatographs can be used to detect the volatile compounds released by pests, thus determining their presence and activity level. Pest growth, reproduction, and activity can cause localized temperature increases in grain piles; therefore, installing temperature sensors in the storage area and monitoring temperature changes can help determine the extent of pest infestation.
[0004] In addition, pest trapping is a common control method that reduces the number of pests by attracting and capturing them, thereby protecting stored grain. Common pest trapping methods for stored goods include sticky traps, attractants, food traps, sex pheromone traps, and light traps. Sticky traps involve placing sticky traps in the storage area; pests that crawl onto the traps get stuck. Attractants use specific chemicals as attractants, placed in traps to attract pests. Food traps use specific types of grains or food as bait, placed in traps to attract pests to feed. Sex pheromone traps utilize the sex pheromones released by certain pests to attract mates; these pheromones are used to create traps that attract the same species of pests.
[0005] The above-mentioned pest monitoring and trapping methods have certain control effects in specific scenarios, but they all have limitations. For example, most of these methods are applicable to the surface of grain piles, but are not suitable for gaps in the piles where people cannot enter. Therefore, based on the production needs of grain and oil storage and transportation enterprises, this invention proposes a novel pest trapping device that can be flexibly moved to different locations in the grain pile for monitoring, thereby improving the monitoring and trapping effect and achieving the goal of effectively controlling stored pests. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the issue that most existing methods for monitoring and trapping stored pests are applicable only to the surface of grain piles and not to the gaps between grain stacks, a pest trapping device is provided. This device involves controlling a drive trolley to move to the desired trapping area and simultaneously detaching a detachable, colored sticky insect board from the attractor, placing the board in the trapping area to trap pests. When it is time to retrieve the sticky board, the drive trolley is moved back to the trapping area to collect it, thus achieving pest trapping.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An insect trapping device includes a drive trolley, an insect attractor mounted on the drive trolley, and a remote control. The drive trolley includes a first servo motor, guide wheels, a power control module, driven wheels, and a structure. The output shaft of the first servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of a guide frame. The guide frame extends downward to both ends of the guide wheels. One end of the guide frame is located at the axis of the guide wheels and is rotatably connected to one end of the guide wheels. The other end of the guide frame is fixedly connected to a first motor. The output shaft of the first motor is located at the axis of the guide wheels and is fixed to the other end of the guide wheels. The power control module is fixedly connected to the first servo motor and the structure. Driven wheels are rotatably connected to both sides of the structure. The bottom of the structure is connected to the insect attractor via a connecting rod. The insect attractor includes an insect attractor housing, a second motor, a gear set, and a detachable colored sticky insect board. The insect attractor housing has a cavity for accommodating the detachable colored sticky insect board. A [unclear - possibly a type of gear] is provided on each side of the detachable colored sticky insect board. The device features a toothed groove. A second motor is fixedly connected to the end of the insect attractor's outer shell furthest from the main structure. The second motor is connected to a gear set via its output end. The gear set contains a first gear that meshes with the toothed groove. The second motor controls the release and retraction of the detachable colored sticky insect board through the gear set. An electromagnet is fixedly attached to the bottom of the insect attractor's outer shell near the gear set. A magnet is fixedly connected to the end of the detachable colored sticky insect board without the toothed groove. When the electromagnet is energized and attracts the magnet, the first gear abuts against one end of the toothed groove. The power control module is electrically connected to the first servo motor, the first motor, the second motor, and the electromagnet. It includes an interconnected signal transceiver, a control chip, and a power supply for the entire device. The control chip controls the opening and closing and rotation angle of the first servo motor, the opening and closing and forward and reverse rotation of the first and second motors, and the on / off state of the electromagnet circuit based on the remote control electrical signals received by the signal transceiver.
[0009] Furthermore, a second servo motor is installed within the structure. The second servo motor is electrically connected to the power control module, and the output shaft of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. The control chip controls the opening, closing, and rotation angle of the second servo motor according to the remote control electrical signal received by the signal transceiver.
[0010] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate connects the first servo motor to the power control module.
[0011] Furthermore, a miniature camera is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the insect attractant, directly opposite the detachable colored sticky insect board. The miniature camera is electrically connected to the power control module. The control chip controls the opening and closing of the miniature camera according to the remote control electrical signal received by the signal transceiver. The signal transceiver sends the image information captured by the miniature camera to the remote control.
[0012] Furthermore, limiting strips are provided on both sides of the inner side of the insect attractor shell, and when the detachable colored sticky insect board is inside the insect attractor shell, the limiting strips are located on the outside of the detachable colored sticky insect board and there is a gap between them.
[0013] Furthermore, the height of the limiting strip shall not exceed the thickness of the detachable colored sticky insect board.
[0014] Furthermore, there are two sets of electromagnets and magnets, and the positions of the two sets of electromagnets and magnets are corresponding.
[0015] Furthermore, the gear set also includes a third gear and a second gear. The third gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, and the second gear and the first gear are rotatably connected to the insect attractant housing. The second gear is meshed with the third gear and the first gear, and the first gear meshes with the tooth groove on the detachable colored sticky insect board.
[0016] Furthermore, the lower end of one end of the gear assembly on the outer shell of the insect attractant is curved.
[0017] Furthermore, the guide wheel is cylindrical.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0019] The trapping device of this invention controls a drive trolley to travel to the trapping area and detaches a detachable colored sticky insect board from the insect attractor, placing the board in the trapping area to attract pests. When it is necessary to retrieve the board, the drive trolley is again moved to the trapping area to collect it, thus achieving pest trapping. Operation is simple and convenient. The trapping device of this invention is small in size and can enter narrow grain stacks without requiring personnel to enter the grain stack gaps, making it suitable for use in grain stack crevices. Furthermore, the trapping device can be flexibly moved to different locations within the grain pile for monitoring. The detachable colored sticky insect board in the trapping device of this invention has a detachable structure, allowing the trapping device to be equipped with multiple boards for sequential monitoring of multiple locations.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0029] like Figure 1-2As shown, the pest trapping device of the present invention includes a drive trolley 1, an insect attractor 2 mounted on the drive trolley 1, and a remote controller. The drive trolley 1 includes a first servo motor 11, a guide wheel 12, a power control module 13, a driven wheel 14, and a structure 15. The output shaft of the first servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of a guide frame 122. The guide frame 122 extends downward to both ends of the guide wheel 12. One end of the guide frame 122 is located at the axis of the guide wheel 12 and is rotatably connected to one end of the guide wheel 12. The other end of the guide frame 122 is fixedly connected to a first motor 121. The output shaft of the first motor 121 is located at the axis of the guide wheel 12 and is fixed to the other end of the guide wheel 12. The first motor 121 can move the guide wheel 12 forward / backward, and the first servo motor 11 can control the direction of movement of the guide wheel 12. The guide wheel 12 is cylindrical, which increases the contact area between the guide wheel 12 and the grain pile. Since the guide wheel 12 is a drive wheel, it avoids excessive pressure at the contact point when the grain pile is working, which could cause the guide wheel 12 to sink. The power control module 13 is fixedly connected to the first servo motor 11 and the structure 15. A reinforcing plate 17 is connected between the first servo motor 11 and the power control module 13 to enhance the connection strength between them. The reinforcing plate 17 is triangular. Driven wheels 14 are rotatably connected to both sides of the structure 15. A second servo motor is installed inside the structure 15. The second servo motor is electrically connected to the power control module 13. The output shaft of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 18. The other end of the connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the insect attractor 2, which can control the insect attractor 2 to swing left / right and adjust the insect attractor 2 to a suitable angle and position.
[0030] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the insect attractor 2 includes an insect attractor housing 21, a second motor 22, a gear set 23, and a detachable colored sticky insect board 25. The insect attractor housing 21 has a cavity for accommodating the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, and each side of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 has a row of toothed grooves 251. The second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the insect attractor housing 21 away from the structure 15. The second motor 22 is connected to the gear set 23 through its output end. The gear set 23 has a first gear 233 that meshes with the toothed grooves 251. The second motor 22 controls the raising and lowering of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 through the gear set 23. The gear set 23 also includes a third gear 231 and a second gear 232. The third gear 231 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 22. The second gear 232 and the first gear 233 are rotatably connected to the insect attractor housing 21. The second gear 232 is meshed with the third gear 231 and the first gear 233. The first gear 233 meshes with the tooth groove 251 on the detachable colored sticky insect board 25.
[0031] An electromagnet 24 is fixed to the bottom of the insect attractant housing 21 near the gear set 23. A magnet 27 is fixedly connected to the end of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 that does not have a toothed groove 251. Two sets of electromagnets 24 and magnets 27 are provided, and the two sets of electromagnets 24 and magnets 27 are positioned correspondingly. Figure 6 As shown, when the electromagnet 24 is energized and attracts the magnet 27, the first gear 233 abuts against one end of the tooth groove 251. At this time, the second motor 22 is activated, and the rotation of the first gear 233 can drive the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 to move, thereby realizing the storage of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25. The lower end of one end of the gear set 23 of the insect attractor housing 21 is set in an arc shape to facilitate the movement of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 on the insect attractor housing 21 when it is stored. Limiting strips 28 are provided on both sides inside the insect attractor housing 21. When the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 is inside the insect attractor housing 21, the limiting strips 28 are located outside the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 and there is a gap between them. This is used to limit the movement of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, so that the first gear 233 can better align with the tooth groove 251 during the storage of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, which facilitates the meshing between the first gear 233 and the tooth groove 251. Furthermore, the height of the limiting strip 28 is no greater than the thickness of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, to prevent the limiting strip 28 from affecting the observation of the detachable colored sticky insect board 25. A miniature camera 26 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inside of the insect attractant shell 21, directly opposite the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, for taking pictures and collecting information on pests on the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, which is convenient for subsequent analysis of pest information.
[0032] The power control module 13 is electrically connected to the first servo motor 11, the first motor 121, the second motor 22, the second servo motor, the electromagnet 24, and the miniature camera 26, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the power control module 13 includes a signal transceiver 131, a control chip 132, and a power supply 133 that are electrically connected to each other. The control chip 132 controls the opening and closing and rotation angle of the first servo motor 11 and the second servo motor, the opening and closing and forward and reverse rotation of the first motor 121 and the second motor 22, the on and off of the electromagnet 24 circuit, and the opening and closing of the miniature camera 26 according to the remote control electrical signals received by the signal transceiver 131. The remote control is equipped with a display screen, and the signal transceiver 131 sends the image information captured by the miniature camera 26 to the remote control.
[0033] Working principle: The operator uses a remote control to control the movement of the drive trolley 1 as needed. The control chip 132 controls the opening and closing and rotation angle of the first servo motor 11, and the opening, closing and forward / reverse rotation of the first motor 121, based on the remote control electrical signals received by the transceiver 131, allowing the drive trolley 1 to move freely within the narrow grain stack and reach the area to be trapped. After reaching the area, the control chip 132 controls the opening and closing and rotation angle of the second servo motor, based on the remote control electrical signals received by the transceiver 131, adjusting the insect attractor 2 to a suitable angle so that the insect attractor 2 is aligned with the area to be trapped.
[0034] After the insect attractor 2 is aimed at the area to be caught, the operator operates the remote control. The control chip 132 controls the opening, closing and forward and reverse rotation of the second motor 22 according to the remote control electrical signal received by the signal transceiver 131. Through the drive of the gear set 23, the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 is detached from the insect attractor 2. At this time, the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 is in the area to be caught.
[0035] When the removable colored sticky insect board 25 needs to be retrieved, the operator uses the remote control to drive the trolley 1 to the location of the removable colored sticky insect board 25, aligning the first gear 233 with the tooth groove 251. The operator then controls the remote control, and the control chip 132 controls the electromagnet 24 to be energized according to the remote control electrical signal received by the transceiver 131. The electromagnet 24 attracts the magnet 27, causing the removable colored sticky insect board 25 to move towards the insect attractor housing 21 until the gear set 23 abuts against one end of the tooth groove 251. At this point, the operator starts the second motor 22 via the remote control. After the first gear 233 rotates, it can drive the removable colored sticky insect board 25 to move, thereby realizing the retrieval of the removable colored sticky insect board 25.
[0036] After the detachable colored sticky insect board 25 is stored, the operator can use a remote control to control the miniature camera 26 to photograph and collect information about pests on the board. The transceiver 131 sends the image information collected by the miniature camera 26 to the remote control and displays it for subsequent data analysis. The used detachable colored sticky insect board 25 can then be removed, and a new one installed. This process can be repeated to trap pests.
[0037] The trapping device described in this invention is small in size and can enter narrow grain stacks without requiring personnel to enter the gaps. It is suitable for use in grain stack crevices and can be flexibly moved to different locations within the grain pile for monitoring. The trapping device employs a detachable structure for the detachable colored sticky insect board 25, allowing the device to be equipped with multiple detachable colored sticky insect boards 25 for sequential monitoring of multiple locations.
[0038] The examples described are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
