Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insect-attracting devices, and in particular to a blinding insect-collecting and expelling device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional solar-powered insect traps kill insects using high-voltage grids or sealed methods, requiring manual emptying. Later, unmanned devices emerged, featuring end caps at the bottom of the trap that can rotate left and right or downwards by 90° to periodically swat insects. However, existing solar-powered insect traps often encounter problems when cleaning up dead insects inside. Due to the large number of insects, they easily get stuck at the outlet, preventing them from being emptied. Furthermore, the unexpelled insect masses decompose and become sticky, adhering to the bottom of the device and the edge of the end cap, preventing automatic emptying. This causes the end cap to not close properly, allowing a large number of insects to escape through the opening.

[0003] Currently, the method used to solve the problem of incomplete dumping is to shake the insect blocks down using the vibration of the device. However, the long-term vibration of the mechanical device will shorten its service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the automatic insect-swatting device cannot completely expel the insect block and is prone to opening when the device is reset and closed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a blinding insect collection and removal device, comprising an installation box and an insect removal component horizontally rotatably arranged at the bottom of the installation box, the top of the installation box is connected to an insect-attracting device and the interior of the installation box is connected to the interior of the insect-attracting device, a strong light is provided inside the installation box, the insect removal component includes L-shaped scrapers distributed on both sides of the bottom of the installation box, the bottom sections of the two scrapers abut against each other, and the top sections respectively contact the opposite side walls of the installation box, a limit trigger switch is provided between the installation box and the top section of the scraper, and a power supply unit and a control unit are provided on the installation box.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting box has a rectangular box structure, the top of the mounting box is provided with a connecting pipe and connected to the insect-attracting device through the connecting pipe, the outer wall of the rear cover of the mounting box is fixedly connected to the chassis, and the control units are all located inside the chassis.

[0007] Preferably, a rotating shaft is provided at the corner of the scraper, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the end cover of the chassis and the mounting box. The bottom section and the top section of the scraper are of equal length.

[0008] Preferably, the control unit includes a servo motor fixedly installed in the chassis and a control box that controls and connects the high-intensity light and the servo motor, and the rotating shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor.

[0009] Preferably, the scraper includes straight plates arranged at equal intervals along the output shaft, with a width gap between adjacent straight plates.

[0010] Preferably, the width gap is 5mm.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the rotating shaft are connected to bearings and are rotatably connected to the chassis and end cover respectively through the bearings.

[0012] Preferably, the limit trigger switch includes a Hall sensor fixedly disposed on the inner side wall of the mounting box and a magnet fixedly disposed on the movable end of the top section of the scraper.

[0013] Preferably, the power supply unit is a power source that is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box.

[0014] A method for removing worms using a blinding worm collection and removal device includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. Installation: Connect the installation box to the insect-attracting device through the connecting pipe at the top. The control unit keeps the scraper closed inside the installation box. Insects that have entered the insect-attracting device enter the installation box through the connecting pipe.

[0016] S2, Blinding: After the control unit detects pests late at night, the control unit controls the high-intensity light to flash at a high frequency for ten minutes to blind the pests.

[0017] S3, Insect Removal: After the blinding step is completed, the control unit controls the two scrapers to rotate relative to each other. The pests on the bottom section of the two scrapers fall off the inclined bottom section, and an opening is created at the bottom of the installation box to remove the pests from the installation box.

[0018] S4. Reset: After the top section of the scraper rotates to the outside of the mounting box, when the Hall sensor on the side wall of the mounting box detects the magnet at the movable end of the top section of the scraper, the top section of the scraper is in a vertical state and the movable end of the top section contacts the side wall of the mounting box.

[0019] 1. This invention provides a blinding insect collection and expulsion device and method. The insect collection and expulsion device is connected to the bottom of an insect-attracting device. Pests enter the insect collection and expulsion device through the insect-attracting device, and the device blinds the pests. After blinding, the pests are expelled and die naturally in the wild. This method avoids the defects of electric shock methods, such as carbon buildup and sticky insects after a long time, which prevents the discharge from continuing. It also avoids the disadvantages of using heating methods to accelerate the death of pests, which consumes a lot of energy and may cause farmland fires. Furthermore, it avoids the disadvantage of letting most insects die naturally, which leads to the rotting and sticky nature of the dead insects.

[0020] 2. Limit control of scraper rotation to the correct position is achieved through Hall effect sensors and magnets. The top and bottom sections of the scraper are of equal length. The magnet is located on the top section. When the bottom section rotates to the Hall effect sensor, a stop signal is not triggered. However, when the top section of the scraper contacts the Hall effect sensor, a stop signal is triggered, causing the scraper to stop rotating. Compared to infrared and mechanical limit switches, the detection accuracy is higher.

[0021] 3. By arranging straight plates at equal intervals on the rotating shaft of the scraper, with a 5mm gap between adjacent plates, beneficial insects such as ladybugs can easily escape, while large pests such as noctuid moths and scarab beetles cannot pass through the scraper.

[0033] like Figure 1-9As shown. A blinding insect-collecting and expelling device includes a mounting box and an insect-expelling component horizontally rotatably arranged at the bottom of the mounting box. The top of the mounting box is connected to an insect-attracting device, and the interior of the mounting box is connected to the interior of the insect-attracting device. A high-intensity lamp 4 is installed inside the mounting box. The insect-expelling component includes L-shaped scrapers 9 distributed on both sides of the bottom of the mounting box. The bottom sections of the two scrapers 9 abut against each other, and the top sections respectively contact the opposite side walls of the mounting box. A limit trigger switch is provided between the mounting box and the top section of the scraper 9. A power supply unit and a control unit are provided on the mounting box.

[0034] The insect collection and removal device is installed at the insect collection end of a solar-powered insect trap that uses light to attract pests at night. Instead of killing the pests, it utilizes the low-light vision of the pests at night. The behavior of nocturnal insects attracted to lights may be due to the light causing their compound eyes to dazzle in the dark environment. Even when the light intensity is less than 0.3 LUX at night, it can still amplify the light intensity signal and accurately perceive external objects.

[0035] When light intensity is high enough, it can cause permanent, irreversible damage to the visual system, leading to blindness. The human eye will experience temporary blindness under light intensity of 120 LUX, while light intensity above 2000 LUX can cause permanent retinal damage and blindness.

[0036] In this episode, the insect-catching device attracts insects to the trap using lights, but instead of killing them, it controls a high-intensity light 4 to flash at midnight. The light signal is generated for 20 seconds per minute and lasts for 10 minutes. This causes the insects to be exposed to strong light suddenly and frequently in the dark, making them unable to adapt to the changes in light intensity and causing them to become permanently blind.

[0037] The L-shaped scraper 9 is then driven to rotate, expelling the blinded pests and allowing them to die naturally in the field. This method avoids the drawbacks of electric shock methods, such as carbon buildup and sticky insects after prolonged use, which disrupts the discharge process. It also avoids the drawbacks of heating methods, which consume a lot of energy to accelerate pest death and may cause farmland fires. Furthermore, it avoids the problem of dead pests rotting and becoming sticky due to the natural death of most insects.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the entry of pests into the installation box, the installation box has a rectangular box structure. A connecting pipe is provided at the top of the installation box and is connected to the insect-attracting device through the connecting pipe. The outer wall of the rear cover 1 of the installation box is fixedly connected to the housing 3, and all control units are located inside the housing 3.

[0039] The insect-attracting device uses light to draw pests into its interior. The pests then enter the installation box from the bottom through a connecting pipe. Once blinded, the pests are expelled from the installation box by an insect-exhausting component.

[0040] The mounting enclosure includes a rear cover 1, a chassis 3 mounted on the rear cover 1, an i-shaped side plate connected to the chassis 3, and an end cover 6 fixed to the top of the side plate, forming a rectangular metal box structure. Connecting pipes are arranged on the top of the side plate.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown. A rotating shaft is provided at the corner of the scraper 9, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the chassis 3 and the end cover 6 of the mounting box. The bottom section and the top section of the scraper 9 are of equal length.

[0042] During the rotation of scraper 9, it is necessary to ensure that the bottom section of scraper 9 forms an integral plate structure and that scraper 9 does not interfere with each other during rotation. Therefore, the length of the top section is less than or equal to that of the bottom section. In order to ensure that the bottom section does not interfere with the side wall of the mounting box during rotation, the length of the bottom section is less than or equal to that of the top section. Therefore, the length of the top section is equal to that of the bottom section.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown. The control unit includes a servo motor 2 fixedly installed inside the housing 3 and a control box 10 that controls and connects the high-intensity light 4 and the servo motor 2. The rotating shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 2. The control box 10 drives the servo motor 2, and the output shaft of the servo motor 2 drives the scraper 9 to rotate, thereby expelling pests from the installation box.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, to prevent pests from suffocating inside the installation box and to facilitate the removal of small beneficial insects from the installation box, the scraper 9 includes straight plates equidistantly arranged along the output shaft, with a width gap between adjacent straight plates.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the width gap is 5 mm.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, to ensure the stability and smoothness of the scraper 9's rotation, bearings 8 are connected to both ends of the rotating shaft, and the bearings 8 are rotatably connected to the housing 3 and the end cover 6, respectively.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown. The limit trigger switch includes a Hall sensor 5 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting box and a magnet 7 fixedly mounted on the movable end of the top section of the scraper 9.

[0048] When the top section of the scraper 9 with magnet 7 moves to the Hall sensor 5 of the mounting box, the Hall sensor 5 sends a signal to the control box 10, and the control box 10 controls the servo motor 2 to stop rotating, so as to achieve accurate reset of the scraper 9.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, for easy replacement of the power supply, the power supply unit is a power supply 11 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box.

[0050] A method for removing worms using a blinding worm collection and removal device includes the following steps:

[0051] S1. Installation: Connect the installation box to the insect-attracting device through the connecting pipe at the top. The control unit keeps the scraper 9 closed inside the installation box. Insects that have entered the insect-attracting device enter the installation box through the connecting pipe.

[0052] S2, Blinding: After the control unit detects the pests late at night, the control unit controls the high-intensity light 4 to flash at a high frequency for ten minutes to blind the pests.

[0053] S3, Insect Removal: After the blinding step is completed, the control unit controls the two scrapers 9 to rotate relative to each other. The pests on the bottom section of the two scrapers 9 fall off the inclined bottom section, and an opening is created at the bottom of the installation box to remove the pests from the installation box.

[0054] S4. Reset: After the top section of the scraper 9 rotates to the outside of the mounting box, when the Hall sensor 5 on the side wall of the mounting box detects the magnet 7 at the movable end of the top section of the scraper 9, the top section of the scraper 9 is in a vertical state and the movable end of the top section contacts the side wall of the mounting box.
