Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

[0031] The purpose of this invention is to provide a temperature-controlled cockroach trapping device that can improve the efficiency and environmental friendliness of cockroach trapping.

[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a temperature-controlled cockroach trapping device in this embodiment includes: a housing 1, a control module, a temperature sensor, a heating module 2, a fan 3, an infrared sensor, and a collector 4.

[0035] The box 1 has an entrance on its side wall, through which cockroaches enter the interior of the box 1. Preferably, the entrance includes a first entrance 11 and a second entrance 12; the first entrance 11 is located on one side wall of the box 1, and the second entrance 12 is located on the other side wall of the box 1. The box 1 is made of a high-temperature resistant, smooth-surfaced, and load-bearing plastic or metal material.

[0036] Preferably, a blocking block 5 is provided at the entrance, and the blocking block 5 is wedge-shaped; the height of the first end of the blocking block 5 is greater than the height of the second end, and the height of the first end is equal to the height of the entrance; the height of the second end is greater than the height threshold at which cockroaches can escape. The wedge-shaped blocking block 5, with its higher outer edge and lower inner edge, effectively prevents cockroaches from escaping from inside the housing 1, improving the capture rate; and setting the height of the first end to be equal to the height of the entrance facilitates cockroach entry into the housing 1. The blocking blocks 5 are fixed to the inner sidewall of the housing 1 by adhesive bonding, and the number of blocking blocks 5 corresponds to the number of entrances.

[0037] The temperature sensor is located inside the housing 1 and is used to collect real-time temperature data inside the housing 1.

[0038] The infrared sensor, located inside the housing 1, is used to collect information on the number of live cockroaches.

[0039] The control module is located at the top of the box 1 outside, and is connected with the temperature sensor, the fan 3 and the heating module 2 respectively, for comparing the size of the real-time temperature data with the set temperature threshold, when the temperature inside the box 1 exceeds the set temperature threshold, the first control instruction is sent to the fan 3; when the temperature inside the box 1 is less than the set temperature threshold, the second control instruction is sent to the heating module 2. Specifically, a microcontroller is used as a control core, and the set temperature threshold is set, when the temperature inside the box 1 is lower than the set temperature threshold, the heating module is automatically started; when the temperature inside the box 1 is higher than the set temperature threshold, the fan 3 can be started to dissipate heat, and the appropriate trapping temperature is always maintained.

[0040] The control module is also connected with the infrared sensor, for sending the third control instruction to the fan 3 when receiving the live number information of the cockroaches, and sending the fourth control instruction to the heating module 2 after a set time period after the end of the peak period of the cockroaches.

[0041] The fan 3 is located inside the box 1, for starting when receiving the first control instruction to reduce the temperature inside the box 1, and for starting when receiving the third control instruction to diffuse the aggregation pheromone of the cockroaches. Preferably, the number of the fan 3 is multiple.

[0042] The heating module 2 is used for starting when receiving the second control instruction to raise the temperature inside the box 1 to reach the appropriate environment for the survival of the cockroaches, and for starting when receiving the fourth control instruction to raise the temperature inside the box 1 to kill the cockroaches at high temperature.

[0043] Specifically, after the infrared sensor detects that the cockroaches enter the inside of the box 1, the fan 3 is started to increase the emission efficiency of the captured cockroach aggregation pheromone, thereby attracting more cockroaches into the box 1, when the cockroach activity time of the day ends, the fan 3 is turned off, and the heating module 2 is turned on to kill the cockroaches, eggs and pathogens that may be carried by the cockroaches at high temperature, wherein the heating is avoided during the peak period of activity to avoid affecting more cockroaches into the box 1; after maintaining the killing temperature for a reasonable time, when the infrared sensor does not detect the activity of the cockroaches inside the box 1, the LCD display can be opened; if the live cockroaches are still detected, the cockroaches are heated and killed again until no cockroach activity is detected. Wherein, the heating module 2 and the fan 3 are used in combination, the arrangement of the heating wire and the temperature control ensure that the temperature inside the trapping device is suitable for the activity of the cockroaches, the fan 3 can also avoid the problem that high temperature may be immediately fatal to the cockroaches, ensure that the captured cockroaches survive during the period, and improve the efficiency of the diffusion of the aggregation pheromone emitted by the subsequent trapping of other cockroaches, and ensure that the trapping process is mild, environmentally friendly and effective.

[0044] Further, the control module also integrates timing function, which can automatically turn on and off the heating function according to the activity law of cockroaches, and improve energy efficiency.

[0045] The collector 4 is fixed on the bottom plate inside the box 1, which is used to collect the high-temperature killed cockroach corpses. The collector 4 is a cockroach collection container, which is designed to be detachable and fixed on the bottom plate of the box 1 by easy-to-dismount buckles. The inside is coated with an anti-escape coating to ensure that the cockroaches cannot escape after entering.

[0046] Further, as shown in the Figure 1 The device also includes a display panel 6 located on the top outside of the box 1, which is connected with the temperature sensor and used to display the real-time temperature inside the box 1 to monitor the temperature inside the box 1.

[0047] Further, as shown in the Figure 1 The device also includes a temperature adjusting button 7; the temperature adjusting button includes a temperature increasing button and a temperature decreasing button; the temperature increasing button and the temperature decreasing button are both arranged on the display panel 6, when the temperature increasing button is pressed, the heating module 2 is started; when the temperature decreasing button is pressed, the fan 3 is started.

[0048] Preferably, the heating module 2 is a heating wire made of an electric heating wire heated by electric current.

[0049] Further, as shown in the Figure 1 The device also includes a metal crossbar 8 fixed at both ends of the side wall of the box 1, which is used to place the heating wire. The metal crossbar 8 can be fixed on the side wall inside the box 1 by welding or embedding. The heating module 2 is fixed on the metal crossbar 8 by heat insulation screws and heat insulation pads.

[0050] Preferably, the inside wall of the box 1 is coated with an anti-escape coating. The inside wall of the box 1 is a smooth contact surface, which makes it difficult for cockroaches to move and prevents them from escaping, thereby improving the capture rate.

[0051] Further, the device also includes a compressor arranged on the collector 4, which is used to compress the cockroach corpses. This avoids the accumulation of cockroach corpses, which affects the entry of other cockroaches. It reduces the opportunity for users to directly contact cockroach corpses and also reduces the environmental pollution that may be generated during the corpse disposal process. In addition, the compressed cockroach corpses can be used as animal feed to feed fish, poultry, or as plant fertilizer to provide nitrogen and other nutrients required by plants.

[0052] Further, the device further comprises a power module connected with the control module, the temperature sensor, the heating module 2, the fan 3, the infrared sensor and the compressor respectively, for powering the control module, the temperature sensor, the heating module 2, the fan 3, the infrared sensor and the compressor. The power module and the temperature control module enable the trapping device to provide a stable heat source to attract cockroaches into the trapping device, while allowing the internal temperature to be adjusted according to the ambient temperature, ensuring trapping efficiency. The power module includes a power switch 9, a built-in battery and a voltage stabilizing power adapter, and the power switch 9 is located on the display panel 6.

[0053] Further, the device further comprises a USB input interface 10, which can charge or directly power the rechargeable battery in the power module.

[0054] Further, the display panel 6 is an LCD display.

[0055] Further, the power module, the USB input interface 10, the display panel 6, the control module and the fan 3 are connected to each other by welding. The USB input interface 10, the display panel 6 and the control module are fixed to the top surface of the box body 1 by fixing screws, and the fan 3 is fixed to the side surface of the box body 1 by fixing screws.

[0056] Technical effects of the present application:
