Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ant trap technology, specifically a modular ant trap for use on dams. Background Technology

[0002] Reservoir dams are widely constructed water conservancy projects, serving functions such as damming and storing water, stabilizing river course, flood control, drought relief, water supply, and power generation. Their safety and stability are crucial for ensuring water security and maintaining sustainable economic and social development. Most existing reservoir dams are earth-rock structures, with suitable soil, abundant water resources, rich food sources, and suitable temperature and humidity, providing a favorable living environment for termite pests. Surveys show that termite infestations on dams are quite common and on the rise, typically exhibiting characteristics of concealment, widespread occurrence, severity, and irreversibility. Although different regions have different dominant termite species in dams, the main ones are generally *Odontotermes* and *Macrotermes*, specifically including *Odontotermes hainanensis*, *Macrotermes huangae*, and *Odontotermes hainanensis*. Ants that infest dams exhibit characteristics such as phototaxis, gregariousness, aggression, colony protection, and a preference for warm temperatures over cold. In their search for food and water, they construct extensive tunnels within the dam structure and on the surface, damaging the integrity of the main dam structure and easily leading to various hazards such as seepage, piping, sinkholes, dam collapses, and breaches, directly threatening the safety of reservoir dams. Scientific control of ant pests can make an effective contribution to supporting the safety of reservoir dams and protecting human life and property.

[0003] Ant traps are common tools for pest control and infestation forecasting, widely used in various environments for ant pest control, such as farmland, barns, indoors, and dams. However, existing traps still have several problems. First, traps are usually designed for only one type or group of ant pests, limiting their target and installation scenarios. Furthermore, the design of traps rarely considers the range of ant pests that can be trapped, resulting in a typically small trapping area. Second, the ant pest storage compartments in traps often lack effective capacity warnings and escape prevention mechanisms. In addition, different types of traps have different drawbacks. For example, the bait in food traps is usually placed in the ant pest storage compartment, which is then removed when cleaning the ants, resulting in wasted bait. Traps containing electronic components often suffer from insufficient power supply due to size or installation environment limitations, hindering the use of electronic components and affecting the device's application range; this drawback is particularly prominent in light traps.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. This invention proposes a modular ant trap for dams. Different types of modules can be selected to assemble the trap according to the type of ant pest and the needs of the installation environment, reducing the cost of trap replacement. Furthermore, the trapping module is separated from the collection module, facilitating cleaning. It also reduces the accumulation of ant carcasses on the outer shell of the trap, increasing its lifespan. Finally, it improves bait utilization efficiency and reduces bait waste.

[0018] 2. This invention takes into account the usage scenarios of slopes (such as dams, slope protection, etc.) and designs a cone-shaped collection box that is fixed to the soil slope. It can be inserted into the soil as a whole by digging with its tip, so that it can be fixed on the slope without the aid of other tools, and the bottom plate is flush with the ground, which reduces the difficulty for ants and pests to reach the bait box and improves the trapping ability.

[0019] 3. This invention takes into account the problem of trapping range and designs a tiered trapping system.

[0020] 4. To ensure the trap can operate efficiently for extended periods, this invention incorporates a capacity detection system. Taking advantage of the characteristic of ants and other pests continuously accumulating during trapping, a detection device is installed at the bottom of the trap opening. This device can alert the outside world when the collection box is full, increasing the trap's working time and efficiency while reducing the workload of checking the trap.

[0021] 5. This invention takes into account the diverse species and varying quality of ant pests, and designs a trap door that is opened using the principle of an electromagnetic gun and closed by a torsion spring. It can be opened and closed at a timed interval by current control, and releases a large amount of energy when opened to shake off ant pests and improve trapping efficiency.

[0022] 6. The modular ant trap proposed in this invention is friendly to soil and ecological environment, actively responds to the policy of relevant departments to actively promote research on green prevention and control technology for ant pests, and provides technical support for the safe operation of reservoir dam projects.

[0032] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0033] Example: Figure 1-8As shown, a modular ant trap for dams consists of a set of trapping modules and a set of collection modules. The trapping modules include two interchangeable modules: a food-attracting module 1 and a light-attracting module 2. Similarly, the collection modules include two interchangeable modules: a cone-shaped collection module 3 and a frustum-shaped collection module 4. The two trapping modules have the same basic structure, both consisting of a top plate providing power and an attraction zone for trapping.

[0034] The baiting area includes a bait chamber 17, which is shaped like an inverted frustum. The walls of the bait chamber 17 are covered with dense, fine perforations. The top of the bait chamber 17 has an opening. In the food-baiting module 1, the opening of the bait chamber is fitted with a bait chamber cover 16. In the light-baiting module 2, the bottom of the bait chamber is fitted with a secondary bait lamp 25. The top of the bait chamber 17 has a top plate with through holes for the bait chamber cover 16 or the secondary bait lamp 25 to pass through. The top of the bait chamber cover 16 and the secondary bait lamp 25 has handles for easy handling. In the food-baiting module 1, the top of the top plate is fitted with an aromatherapy bottle 5 and a fan 6. In the light-baiting module 2, the top of the top plate is fitted with a primary bait lamp 24. The bait chamber opening is used for placing bait or as a channel for installing the secondary bait lamp 25.

[0035] Furthermore, the top plate includes an upper cover plate 11, on the top of which a wind turbine 7, an indicator light 9, and two handles 10 are provided. An antenna 8 is provided on the wind turbine 7. A solar panel 12 is provided at the lower end of the upper cover plate 11. A middle plate 13 is provided at the lower end of the solar panel 12. A circuit board is provided inside the middle plate 13. A battery panel 14 is provided at the lower end of the middle plate 13. A lower cover plate 15 is provided at the lower end of the battery panel 14.

[0036] In this embodiment, the blades of the wind turbine 7 are designed in a cup shape. Cup-shaped blades are more sensitive to weak winds, which can improve power generation efficiency in low-wind areas. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the antenna 8 is placed on top of the wind turbine 7, and the signal line 38 of the antenna 8 passes through the interior of the wind turbine 7. To achieve the above design intent, the wind turbine 7 is designed as a small electromagnetically shielded wind turbine. Figure 6As shown, the wind turbine 7 includes a hollow concentric ring-shaped stator barrel and a rotor 33 placed on top of the stator barrel. The stator barrel is divided into four layers, from the outside to the inside: an outer shell 37, a power generation chamber, an inner shielding shell 36, and an electromagnetic shielding chamber. The power generation chamber is enclosed by the outer shell 37 and the inner shielding shell 36. Inside the power generation chamber are magnets fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 37 and the outer wall of the inner shielding shell 36, as well as a power generation coil 34 fixed to the rotor 33. The inner shielding shell 36 is composed of an electromagnetic shielding system made of magnetic shielding material, which can block magnetic fields to a great extent. The electromagnetic shielding chamber is enclosed by the inner shielding shell 36, and the electromagnetic shielding chamber contains the antenna signal line 38. The rotor 33 is driven by wind power. Through the above design, the wind turbine 7 can increase the antenna height, increase signal transmission and reception efficiency, reduce electromagnetic interference, and improve signal transmission quality.

[0037] Furthermore, the decoy chamber 17 is provided with four wedge-shaped side plates 18 around its perimeter. The lower end of the decoy chamber 17 is provided with a bottom plate 20, and four trap openings are evenly arranged along the perimeter of the bottom plate 20. Each trap opening is provided with a trap door 19, and the outer side of the trap door 19 is rotatably connected to the trap opening. The lower end of the bottom plate 20 is provided with an escape prevention ring 21, and the lower end of the escape prevention ring 21 is provided with a reflective ring 23. The interior of the reflective ring 23 is provided with a sensor light 22.

[0038] Among them, the electromagnetically controlled trap door 19 is used, such as Figure 7 As shown, the trap door 19 includes a door panel 26 and an electromagnet 32. The door panel 26 is made of cast iron. A door hinge 28 is provided at the lower outer end of the door panel 26. A torsion spring 27 is provided on the inner wall of the door hinge 28. A connecting rod 29 is hinged to the bottom of the door panel 26. A cast iron power rod 30 is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 29. An electromagnetic coil 31 is provided on the outside of the cast iron power rod 30. The electromagnet 32 ​​is used to attract the door panel 26 in the open state.

[0039] The working method of Trap Door 19 is as follows:

[0040] S1. The trapdoor opens and closes periodically according to the set opening and closing cycle. This opening and closing cycle has two parameters: opening interval and opening duration.

[0041] S2. After the opening interval time is reached, the power is turned on, and the electromagnetic coil 31 and electromagnet 32 ​​are energized at the same time. The cast iron power rod 30 is affected by the electromagnetic force and moves into the depth of the electromagnetic coil 31, thereby driving the connecting rod 29 to pull back and open the door panel 26.

[0042] S3. When the door panel 26 opens to 90°, it is attracted by electromagnetic force, locks with electromagnet 32, and releases kinetic energy to shake off ants and other pests.

[0043] S4. After the opening duration is reached, the power is disconnected, and the door panel 26 is closed by the elastic force of the torsion spring 27, completing one opening and closing cycle.

[0044] Through the above design, the trap door 19 has a simple structure and high stability, and can effectively capture various crawling ants and pests. When it is opened, it releases a large amount of kinetic energy, which can shake the ants and pests off the trap door 19, thereby improving the trapping efficiency.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the escape-prevention ring 21 consists of two double-helix rings with progressively decreasing inner diameters. This design traps ants and other pests climbing up the inner wall of the inner collection box within the rings, reducing their chances of escaping through the trap door 19.

[0046] Furthermore, the collection module can be connected to the base plate 20 of the trapping module to form a complete trap. The conical collection module 3 includes a conical collection box 39, with a pointed tip 40 at the bottom. The conical collection box 39 can be inserted into the soil as a whole by the digging of the pointed tip 40, making it more firmly fixed. The frustum collection module 4 includes a frustum collection box 41, with a fixing block 42 at the bottom. The conical collection module 3 allows the base plate 20 to be flush with the ground, reducing the difficulty for ants and pests to reach the trap chamber 17 and improving the trapping efficiency. The frustum collection module 4 has a smaller inclination angle, which can improve the trapping efficiency.

[0047] The modular trap is used as follows:

[0048] S1. Determine the assembly method of the trap based on the type of ant pest and the installation environment. For ants pests that are strongly attracted to light, select the light trapping module 2; for ants pests that are strongly attracted to food, select the food trapping module 1. When used on hard surfaces, select the frustum-shaped collection module 4; when used on soft surfaces, select the cone-shaped collection module 3.

[0049] S2. Replenish the aromatherapy liquid and bait in the food-trapping module 1. Replenish the aromatherapy liquid in the aromatherapy bottle 5 and place the bait in the attractant chamber 17. If the light-trapping module 2 is selected, skip this step.

[0050] S3. Secure the trap to the ground and turn on the power. When securing it on a hard surface, use the fixing block 42 below the frustum-shaped collection module 4. When securing it on a soft surface, insert the cone-shaped collection module 3 into the ground so that the base plate 20 is flush with the ground.

[0051] S4. The trap uses a tiered trapping system to lure ant pests to approach the trap and stay on the trap door 19. The trap door 19 opens, causing the ant pests to fall into the collection box.

[0052] The food-trapping method trapping module 1 includes a tiered trapping system comprising an aromatherapy bottle 5, a fan 6, a lure chamber cover 16, a lure chamber 17, a side panel 18, a trap door 19, and a bottom plate 20. The light-trapping method trapping module 2 includes a primary lure light 24, a secondary lure light 25, a lure chamber 17, a side panel 18, a trap door 19, and a bottom plate 20.

[0053] S5 and the escape-proof ring 21 can prevent ants and other pests in the collection box from escaping through the box walls.

[0054] S6. When the collection box is full, the capacity detection system sends a reminder via indicator light 9 and the Internet of Things system to inform the user that the collection box needs to be emptied. The capacity detection system includes an antenna 8, indicator light 9, and a middle plate 13.

[0055] S7. When the battery is low, the power supply system starts working to replenish the battery panel 14 and increase the battery life. If the replenished power is insufficient to meet the demand, the power supply system will issue a reminder through the indicator light 9 and the Internet of Things system to inform the user that the trap needs to be replaced.

[0056] The trapping method of the above-mentioned graded trapping system is as follows:

[0057] S1. The graded trapping system is divided into two levels: the primary trapping system and the secondary trapping system.

[0058] S2, the primary trapping system, is responsible for attracting ants and other pests from a distance, drawing them closer to the trap. This system attracts ants and pests through more diffused scents or more penetrating light. In the case of food-based trapping, the primary trapping system consists of an aromatherapy bottle 5 and a fan 6. The fan 6 blows aromatherapy scents that mimic food aromas, spreading the scents further. In the case of light-based trapping, the primary trapping system refers to the primary attractant lamp 24, whose light has stronger penetrating power and can be detected from a greater distance.

[0059] S3, the secondary trapping system, is responsible for attracting ants and pests around the trap, causing them to stay on the trap door 19. This secondary system attracts ants and pests with a higher concentration of odor or stronger light. For food-based trapping, the secondary trapping system consists of a trap cover 16, a trap chamber 17, a side panel 18, a trap door 19, and a bottom plate 20. The trap chamber 17 contains food with a higher odor concentration. For light-based trapping, the secondary trapping system refers to a secondary attractant lamp 25, a trap chamber 17, a side panel 18, a trap door 19, and a bottom plate 20. The secondary attractant lamp 25 has a stronger light intensity, quickly attracting ants and pests towards the trap door 19. Furthermore, the trap chamber 17 has an inverted frustum shape, which reduces the number of ants and pests staying on the outer wall of the trap chamber; the side panel 18 divides the bottom plate 20, reducing the area of ​​the bottom plate 20 other than the trap door 19.

[0060] Therefore, through the tiered trapping system, ant pests are attracted by the primary trapping system and move closer to the trap; when the ant pests enter the trapping range of the secondary trapping system, they are immediately attracted by the secondary trapping system and move closer to the trap door 19; until the trap door 19 is opened, the ant pests fall into the collection box, and the trapping is completed.

[0061] The detection method of the above-mentioned capacity detection system is as follows:

[0062] S1, the sensor light 22 emits light in all directions every 30 seconds.

[0063] S2. The light is reflected by the reflective ring 23 and received by the light sensor on the sensor lamp 22.

[0064] S3. If the amount of light received by the light sensor is less than 30% of the amount of light emitted, the indicator light 9 will remain on, and the Internet of Things system will issue a reminder.

[0065] Therefore, through the capacity detection system, in the initial stage of the trap's operation, most ant pests concentrate at the bottom of the collection box, and the light emitted by the sensor lamp 22 is mostly received by the light sensor, so the indicator lamp 5 does not light up. In the later stage of the trap's operation, a large number of ant pests concentrate at the top of the collection box, affecting light propagation. Most of the light emitted by the sensor lamp 22 is absorbed by the ant pests, the indicator lamp 5 stays on, and the IoT system issues an alert. The IoT system uses an existing PLC control system to receive signals from the sensor lamp 22 and control the indicator lamp 5, and the corresponding signal threshold can be determined according to specific needs.

[0066] The power supply method of the above-mentioned power supply system is as follows:

[0067] S1. When the electrical energy is less than 90%, the power supply circuit of the solar panel 12 is turned on to power the battery.

[0068] S2. When the power consumption is less than 40%, the power supply circuits of the wind turbine 7 and the solar panel 12 are simultaneously connected to supply power to the battery.

[0069] S3. When the power is less than 20%, indicator light 9 flashes to indicate that the power is low, and the IoT system will issue a reminder at the same time.

[0070] This embodiment allows for the selection of different module assemblies to assemble the traps according to the type of ant pests and the needs of the installation environment, reducing the cost of trap replacement. Furthermore, the trapping module is separated from the collection module, facilitating cleaning. It also reduces the accumulation of ant corpses on the outer shell of the trap chamber, increasing its lifespan. Finally, it improves bait utilization efficiency and reduces bait waste.

[0071] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structures made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
