Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insect infestation monitoring, specifically to a method and system for controlling the louvers of an insect infestation lamp. Background Technology

[0002] The insect-control lamp has a specific wavelength ultraviolet lamp tube, surrounded by three transparent glass plates. When the lamp is lit, the light attracts insects that fly over, collide with the glass plates, and fall into a collection box below. A camera installed on the lamp then captures images of the insects inside the collection box and sends them to a control center to identify the local pest situation. Existing insect-control lamps typically use a funnel-shaped collection box to hold the falling insects. This makes it easy for the insect-falling passage to become blocked by leaves and other debris in areas with abundant fallen leaves, preventing the lamp from accurately detecting the actual insect population. Furthermore, because insect-control lamps are usually installed in large numbers in fields, forests, and other outdoor locations, maintenance is very difficult.

[0003] To prevent fallen leaves from blocking the passageways for insects, existing technologies incorporate louvered structures around insect-control lamps to prevent leaves from flying in. However, since insects fly at varying altitudes, louvered structures can alleviate the problem of leaves blocking passageways for low-flying insect-control lamps designed for low-altitude insects. But louvered structures cannot prevent fallen leaves from blocking passageways for high-altitude insect-control lamps designed for high-altitude insects, which need to emit ultraviolet light upwards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a method and system for controlling the louvers of an insect-infesting lamp. By controlling the rotation angle of the louvers, integrated monitoring of low-altitude and high-altitude mosquitoes can be achieved. At the same time, by monitoring wind speed and direction and coordinating with the opening or closing of the louvers, the problem of fallen leaves blocking the insect passage is solved.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for controlling a venetian blind for an insect-infesting lamp is provided, comprising:

[0006] Obtain the range of mosquito flight heights at the installation location of the insect-prevention lamp, and determine the rotation angle of the venetian blinds based on the range of mosquito flight heights.

[0007] The system acquires real-time wind speed and direction data at the location where the insect-control lamp is installed, and controls the louvers in the corresponding direction to open or close based on the wind speed and direction.

[0008] The above technical solution controls the rotation angle of the louvers based on the flight altitude of mosquitoes. For low-flying mosquitoes, the rotation angle is set so that ultraviolet light can cover the low-flying area during the rotation of the louvers, attracting low-flying mosquitoes. For high-flying mosquitoes, the rotation angle is set so that ultraviolet light can cover the high-flying area during the rotation of the louvers, attracting high-flying mosquitoes. In this way, integrated monitoring of low-flying and high-flying mosquitoes can be achieved, solving the problem of incomplete monitoring function caused by existing insect lamps that can only attract low-flying or high-flying mosquitoes.

[0009] In addition, the above technical solution also incorporates real-time wind speed and direction data to control the opening or closing of the louvers, so that when there are many fallen leaves, the louvers in the corresponding direction can be closed in time to prevent fallen leaves from flying in and blocking the passage for falling insects.

[0010] Furthermore, by rotating the louvers up and down to radiate ultraviolet light, it is equivalent to radiating ultraviolet light through a strobe effect. The strobe effect is more attractive to mosquitoes than direct irradiation.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the louver has four sides, with a number of louver blades evenly arranged on each side, and a softening glass film is attached to the upper surface of each louver blade.

[0012] The above technical solution controls the rotation angle of the louvers so that ultraviolet light can be reflected into the high sky by the softened glass film. There is no need to directly irradiate ultraviolet light into the high sky, that is, there is no need to leave the space above the insect lamp to emit ultraviolet light, which would prevent the leaves from being effectively blocked. This technical solution irradiates ultraviolet light into the high sky through the louvers on the side. Therefore, the area above the insect lamp can be covered with a shielding material to prevent leaves from falling in from the high sky.

[0013] Furthermore, since the louvers can project ultraviolet light into the upper atmosphere when they rotate upwards, the attraction to mosquitoes in the upper atmosphere is not affected even if the area directly above the insect-attracting lamp is blocked.

[0014] As a further technical solution, obtaining the range of mosquito flight heights at the installation site of the insect-infesting lamp further includes: obtaining the attributes of the installation site of the insect-infesting lamp, determining the type of mosquitoes attracted by the insect-infesting lamp based on the attributes, and determining the range of mosquito flight heights based on the type of mosquitoes.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the mosquito flight altitude range is divided into low-altitude flight altitude and high-altitude flight altitude.

[0016] Optionally, the mosquito flight altitude can be further subdivided, such as into ranges of tens of meters, to achieve more precise mosquito attraction.

[0017] As a further technical solution, when mosquitoes are flying at low altitudes, each louver on the louver is controlled to rotate between zero degrees and a first preset angle.

[0018] Optionally, the first preset angle can be determined in combination with the installation height of the insect lamp. That is, the light scanning range when the louvers rotate can be calculated based on the installation height of the insect lamp and the rotation angle. The light scanning range is greater than or equal to the flight height range of mosquitoes.

[0019] As a further technical solution, when the mosquitoes are flying at high altitudes, each louver on the louver is controlled to rotate between zero degrees and a second preset angle.

[0020] When the louvers rotate, the softened glass film covering the upper surface of the louvers reflects the ultraviolet light shone by the insect-attracting lamp upwards into the high sky, thereby attracting mosquitoes flying at high altitudes.

[0021] Furthermore, when mosquitoes are flying at low or high altitudes, their zero degree is determined based on the horizontal plane, that is, the horizontal plane is used as the plane where the zero degree is located.

[0022] Furthermore, the first preset angle is oriented downwards from the horizontal plane, and the second preset angle is oriented upwards from the horizontal plane.

[0023] As a further technical solution, after acquiring wind speed and direction data at the installation site of the insect-prevention lamp in real time, it also includes: identifying the direction of falling leaves based on the wind direction data, and determining whether the louvers facing the direction of falling leaves need to be closed based on the wind speed data.

[0024] Furthermore, when the wind direction is any of the four directions (north, south, east, or west), as long as the wind speed exceeds the preset value, the louvers facing the direction of falling leaves can be closed to prevent fallen leaves from flying in and blocking the insect passage.

[0025] As a further technical solution, when the direction of falling leaves is identified as not perpendicular or parallel to the four sides of the louvers, the method further includes: obtaining the angle between the two sides of the louvers simultaneously affected by falling leaves and the wind direction, and controlling the louvers on the corresponding sides to close when the angle exceeds a preset angle and the wind speed exceeds a preset value.

[0026] Furthermore, when the wind direction is any of the four directions of southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, there may be a risk of falling leaves flying into the louvers on two sides at the same time. In this case, the angle between the wind direction and the surface is considered. When the angle exceeds the preset angle and the wind speed exceeds the preset value, the louvers on the corresponding surface can be closed.

[0027] According to one aspect of the present invention, a louver control system for an insect-infesting lamp is provided, comprising an insect-infesting lamp and louvers disposed around the insect-infesting lamp, wherein each louver on each side of the louvers is connected to a motor, each motor is connected to a control device, and a wind speed and direction testing device is installed on the top of the insect-infesting lamp, the wind speed and direction testing device being connected to the control device.

[0028] The control device is used to acquire the range of mosquito flight heights at the location where the insect-infestation lamp is installed, and to determine the rotation angle of the louvers based on the range of mosquito flight heights; and to acquire wind speed and direction data at the location where the insect-infestation lamp is installed in real time, and to control the louvers in the corresponding direction to open or close based on the wind speed and direction.

[0029] The above technical solution enables ultraviolet light to cover low or high altitudes by controlling the angle rotation of the louvers, achieving integrated monitoring of low-altitude and high-altitude flying mosquitoes. The louvers on the four sides of the insect-monitoring lamp are set to be independently controlled, so that the louvers on each side can be independently controlled according to wind direction and wind speed, solving the problem of fallen leaves flying in and blocking the passage of falling insects.

[0030] As a further technical solution, a number of slats are evenly arranged on each side of the louver, and the upper surface of each slat is covered with a softening glass film.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0032] This invention controls the rotation angle of the louvers on the mosquitoes based on their flight altitude. For low-flying mosquitoes, the rotation angle is set so that ultraviolet light can cover the low-flying area during the rotation of the louvers, attracting low-flying mosquitoes. For high-flying mosquitoes, the rotation angle is set so that ultraviolet light can cover the high-flying area during the rotation of the louvers, attracting high-flying mosquitoes. In this way, integrated monitoring of low-flying and high-flying mosquitoes can be achieved, solving the problem of incomplete monitoring function caused by existing insect lamps that can only attract low-flying or high-flying mosquitoes.

[0033] This invention combines real-time wind speed and direction data to control the opening and closing of louvers, enabling timely closure of louvers in the corresponding direction when there are many fallen leaves, preventing fallen leaves from flying in and blocking the passage for insects.

[0039] Existing insect monitoring lamps use two separate devices for monitoring low-altitude and high-altitude flying mosquitoes, resulting in low integration and high monitoring costs. This invention, by setting a rotation angle, allows ultraviolet light to cover the high-altitude flying area during the rotation of the louvers, attracting high-altitude flying mosquitoes, and also covers the low-altitude flying area, attracting low-altitude flying mosquitoes, thereby achieving integrated monitoring of both low-altitude and high-altitude flying mosquitoes.

[0040] Furthermore, existing insect-attracting lamps use louvered structures to enclose the lamp and block insects' passageways by concealing fallen leaves. However, because ultraviolet light needs to radiate through the gaps in the louvers, the gaps are relatively large, limiting the effectiveness in preventing fallen leaves. For attracting high-altitude insects, the top of the lamp must be left open to radiate ultraviolet light into the air, making it impossible to prevent fallen leaves from flying in. Therefore, this invention sets a rotation angle so that the louvers on the sides can cover the high-altitude flying area with ultraviolet light during rotation, attracting high-altitude insects without leaving space at the top of the lamp. In addition, by combining real-time wind speed and direction data, the opening and closing of the louvers can be controlled, so that the louvers in the corresponding direction can be closed in time when there are many fallen leaves, preventing fallen leaves from flying in and blocking the insects' passageways.

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0043] Step 1: Obtain the range of mosquito flight heights at the installation location of the insect-control lamp, and determine the rotation angle of the venetian blinds based on the range of mosquito flight heights.

[0044] The method for obtaining the range of mosquito flight heights at the installation location of the insect-attracting lamp also includes: obtaining the attributes of the installation location of the insect-attracting lamp, determining the type of mosquitoes attracted by the insect-attracting lamp based on the attributes, and determining the range of mosquito flight heights based on the type of mosquitoes.

[0045] Alternatively, for farmland, such as rice paddies and wheat fields, the pests that are susceptible to are known. Therefore, by knowing the installation scenario of the insect-attracting lamp, it is possible to determine the main types of mosquitoes it is used to attract. Once the types of mosquitoes are known, their flight altitude and direction can also be determined.

[0046] Similarly, for forests, different types of trees are susceptible to different types of insect pests, but the types of insect pests that each type of tree is susceptible to are known. As long as the type of trees at the location where the insect monitoring lamp is installed is known, the type of insect and its flight altitude can be determined.

[0047] Optionally, the louvers have four sides, each with a plurality of slats evenly arranged. The upper surface of each slat is covered with a softened glass film to reflect the ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp tube into the upper atmosphere. By controlling the rotation angle of the slats, the ultraviolet light can be reflected into the upper atmosphere by the softened glass film, eliminating the need to directly irradiate ultraviolet light into the upper atmosphere. Instead, ultraviolet light is irradiated into the upper atmosphere through the slats on the sides. Therefore, a covering can be placed above the insect-control lamp to prevent fallen leaves from falling in from above.

[0048] Furthermore, since the louvers can project ultraviolet light into the upper atmosphere when they rotate upwards, the attraction to mosquitoes in the upper atmosphere is not affected even if the area directly above the insect-attracting lamp is blocked.

[0049] In one implementation, the mosquito's flight altitude range is divided into low-altitude flight altitude and high-altitude flight altitude. For example, altitudes below 50 meters are classified as low-altitude flight altitude, and altitudes above 50 meters are classified as high-altitude flight altitude.

[0050] Optionally, the mosquito flight altitude can be further subdivided, such as into ranges of tens of meters, to achieve more precise mosquito attraction.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, when the mosquitoes are flying at low altitudes, each louver on the louver is controlled to rotate between zero degrees and a first preset angle.

[0052] Specifically, the direction of the first preset angle is downward from the horizontal plane. Alternatively, the area between the horizontal plane and the vertical plane can be selected as the first preset angle. For example, the first preset angle can be selected as 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. The specific angle setting depends on actual needs, and this invention does not limit it.

[0053] Optionally, the first preset angle can be determined in combination with the installation height of the insect lamp. That is, the light scanning range when the louvers rotate can be calculated based on the installation height of the insect lamp and the rotation angle. The light scanning range is greater than or equal to the flight height range of mosquitoes.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, when the mosquito is flying at a high altitude, each louver on the louver is controlled to rotate between zero degrees and a second preset angle.

[0055] Specifically, the direction of the second preset angle is from the horizontal plane upwards. Alternatively, the area between the horizontal plane and the vertical plane in a counterclockwise direction can be used as the selectable area for the second preset angle. For example, the second preset angle can be selected as 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. The specific angle setting depends on actual needs, and this invention does not limit it.

[0056] When the louvers rotate between zero degrees and the second preset angle, the softened glass film covering the upper surface of the louvers reflects the ultraviolet light shone on them upwards into the high sky, thereby attracting mosquitoes flying at high altitudes.

[0057] Step 2: Obtain wind speed and direction data at the installation location of the insect-spreading lamp in real time, and control the louvers in the corresponding direction to open or close according to the wind speed and direction.

[0058] After acquiring real-time wind speed and direction data at the location where the insect-control lamp is installed, the system also includes: identifying the direction of falling leaves based on the wind direction data, and determining whether to close the louvers facing the direction of falling leaves based on the wind speed data.

[0059] Furthermore, when the wind direction is any of the four directions (north, south, east, or west), as long as the wind speed exceeds the preset value, the louvers facing the direction of falling leaves can be closed to prevent fallen leaves from flying in and blocking the insect passage.

[0060] When the direction of falling leaves is detected to be non-perpendicular or non-parallel to the four sides of the louvers, the method further includes: obtaining the angle between the two sides of the louvers that are simultaneously affected by falling leaves and the wind direction; and when the angle exceeds a preset angle and the wind speed exceeds a preset value, controlling the louvers on the corresponding sides to close.

[0061] Furthermore, when the wind direction is any of the four directions of southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, there may be a risk of falling leaves flying into the louvers on two sides at the same time. In this case, the angle between the wind direction and the surface is considered. When the angle exceeds the preset angle and the wind speed exceeds the preset value, the louvers on the corresponding surface can be closed.

[0062] It should be noted that the wind direction limitation mentioned above is based on the following condition: when the insect-keeping lamp is installed, the four louvers of the lamp should be aligned with the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west).

[0063] Based on the same inventive concept as the aforementioned method, the present invention also provides a louver control system for an insect-loving lamp, including an insect-loving lamp and louvers disposed around the insect-loving lamp, such as... Figure 4As shown, each louver on each side of the louver is connected to a motor, and each motor is connected to a control device. A wind speed and direction testing device is installed on the top of the insect lamp, and the wind speed and direction testing device is connected to the control device.

[0064] The control device is used to acquire the range of mosquito flight heights at the location where the insect-infestation lamp is installed, and to determine the rotation angle of the louvers based on the range of mosquito flight heights; and to acquire wind speed and direction data at the location where the insect-infestation lamp is installed in real time, and to control the louvers in the corresponding direction to open or close based on the wind speed and direction.

[0065] The system controls the angle of the louvers to cover low or high altitudes with ultraviolet light, enabling integrated monitoring of both low-altitude and high-altitude flying mosquitoes. The louvers on the four sides of the insect-monitoring lamp are set to be independently controlled, allowing each side to be controlled independently according to wind direction and speed, thus solving the problem of fallen leaves blocking the passage for insects.

[0066] Furthermore, each face of the louver is evenly provided with several slats, and the upper surface of each slat is covered with a softened glass film. When the slats rotate between zero degrees and a second preset angle, the softened glass film covering the upper surface of the slats reflects the ultraviolet light shone on them upwards into the high sky, thereby attracting mosquitoes flying at high altitudes.

[0067] It should be noted that the solution provided by this system is similar to the solution described in the above method. Therefore, the specific limitations of the implementation methods of the aforementioned modules can be found in the limitations of the insect-controlling louver method described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] In summary, this invention controls the rotation angle of the louvers based on the flight altitude of mosquitoes, achieving integrated monitoring of both low-flying and high-flying mosquitoes. This solves the problem of existing insect-monitoring lights only attracting low-flying or high-flying mosquitoes, resulting in incomplete monitoring functionality. Furthermore, this invention incorporates real-time wind speed and direction data to control the opening and closing of the louvers, enabling timely closure of louvers in the corresponding direction when there are many fallen leaves, preventing leaves from flying in and blocking the insect's passageway.

[0069] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
