Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ant monitoring equipment, and in particular to an ant trapping monitoring device and method. Background Art

[0002] The small fire ant, also known as the golden-carved ant, belongs to the genus Formicidae, subfamily Formicidae, order Hymenoptera. The small fire ant is small in size and difficult to detect with the naked eye. It bites livestock and humans, causing pain like electric burns, accompanied by varying degrees of allergies, which harms human health. It often occurs on coasts, artificial forests, planted fields, riverbanks and shrub forests, and also exists in human residences, temperature-controlled buildings and greenhouses. The small fire ant has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, causing adverse effects on local ecosystems, biodiversity, urban environment and human health. It forms new ant nests in a nesting manner for close-range natural diffusion, can spread with the help of floating plants and debris with water flow, and can also spread over long distances through turf, seedlings, bonsai, soil, wood and containers carried by ships, trains and other means of transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the activities of the small fire ants. At present, the main monitoring method is trapping. The main methods are as follows: Bottle trapping method: The main tools are small transparent plastic bottles with lids (50-100mL) and baits. Fresh peanut butter can be used as bait for small fire ants. Apply it on the inner wall of a plastic bottle when attracting. One bait bottle can be placed for every 100m2. Generally, it can be recycled after 30 to 60 minutes. When recycling, cover the bottle cap tightly to facilitate further identification and statistics of the number of ants attracted. Bamboo stick trapping method: The main tools are bamboo sticks and fresh peanut butter. When using, apply a thin layer of peanut butter on both sides of the half of the bamboo stick, and then place it on the ground for trapping. Place a bamboo stick every 5 to 10m, and recycle it after 30 to 60 minutes and check whether there are small fire ants on the bamboo stick. Solid food trapping method: The main tools are iron wire and ham slices. When using, insert a small flag made of iron wire with ham slices into the soil to ensure that the ham slices are close to the ground. Generally, the bait is collected for 30 to 60 minutes to check whether there are small fire ants on the bait; these methods all judge the situation of small fire ants by the number of traps in a unit time. Continuous trapping is usually required during monitoring, and the time of each trapping corresponds to the trapping result, so as to analyze the activity of small fire ants. At present, more comprehensive trapping devices have also appeared. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN219460137U discloses a monitoring device for trapping red fire ants, which includes a top cover connected to the upper end of an ant trap bottle, an observation window provided on the surface of the ant trap bottle, a mounting plate slidably connected to the lower end of the ant trap bottle, an ant entrance in a circular array on the surface of the top cover, the ant entrance is connected to the ant channel, and a baffle is rotatably connected to the end of the ant channel away from the ant entrance. However, the current ant trapping monitoring device has the following defects:

[0003] Most of the current ant trapping monitoring devices are designed to better trap ants, but they do not have an automatic recovery function. In trapping monitoring, the trapping time period needs to be determined, and multiple trappings are required. Therefore, when using them, personnel are required to manually take out the trapping device after the trapping time is reached, and then put the trapping device back in to carry out trapping work in the next time period, which is very inconvenient.

[0054] Step 1: Installation: Place the empty trapping box 2 into the box storage bin 3 from the box placement opening 113, close the sealing door 115, dig a shallow pit at the monitoring location, place the base 1 and the trapping platform 12 in the shallow pit, so that the top surface of the trapping platform 12 is above the ground surface, and then fill the shallow pit with soil to fix the base 1;

[0055] Step 2: Setting the monitoring time: Setting the start monitoring time and the time of each monitoring through the control panel 111. When setting the time of each monitoring, the same time can be set, or different monitoring time can be set each time to meet the needs of various trapping monitoring.

[0056] Step 3: Trapping: When the monitoring start time is reached, the primary conveying assembly 5 and the secondary conveying assembly 6 are started, so that the trapping box 2 at the bottom of the storage box bin 3 starts to be transported. When the trapping box 2 is completely transported to the secondary conveying assembly 6, the primary conveying assembly 5 stops, and the secondary conveying assembly 6 continues to transport the trapping box 2. The trapping box 2 passes through the box outlet 13 and enters the trapping platform 12. At this time, the secondary conveying assembly 6 stops, and the trapping box 2 performs the trapping work of small fire ants at the trapping platform 12;

[0057] Step 4: Recycling: When the trapping time reaches the set time interval, the secondary conveying assembly 6 reverses the conveying and transports the trapped trapping box 2 to the collecting assembly 4. The secondary conveying assembly 6 stops, and the two electric push rods 119 move the two lifting assemblies 7 in opposite directions. The belt 75 in the lifting assembly 7 contacts the anti-slip panel 24 of the trapping box 2. The third servo reduction motor 76 drives the belt 75 to move and lifts the trapping box 2 to the bottom of the collecting assembly 4. Then, the two electric push rods 119 drive the collecting assembly 4 back to its original position to complete the recycling.

[0058] Step 5: Circular trapping: Continue with steps 3 to 4 until all the trapping boxes 2 in the storage box bin 3 have completed the trapping work at the trapping platform 12 and are recovered in the collecting component 4. During the subsequent recovery work, there will be already recovered trapping boxes 2 in the collecting component 4, so that when the lifting component 7 is lifted, the trapping boxes 2 already in the collecting component 4 will be lifted upward, and the trapping boxes 2 on the secondary conveying component 6 will be lifted to the bottom position of the collecting component 4, so that the trapping boxes 2 from top to bottom correspond to the order of the trapping time period;

[0059] Step six: Remove ants: Rotate the stopper 110 to move it away from the top surface of the sealing plate 41, grab the top handle 412, pull out the entire collecting assembly 4, then pull out the movable guide strip 49, and pull out all the trapping boxes 2 horizontally. Arrange the trapping boxes 2 in order from top to bottom, and each monitoring time period corresponds to each trapping box 2.

[0060] Embodiment 4:

[0061] See also Figure 1-13, which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the above three embodiments. When the present invention is used, an empty trapping box 2 is placed into the box storage bin 3 from the box placement opening 113, the sealing door 115 is closed, a shallow pit is dug at the monitoring position, the base 1 and the trapping platform 12 are placed in the shallow pit, so that the top surface of the trapping platform 12 is above the ground surface, and then the shallow pit is filled with soil to fix the base 1; the start monitoring time is set through the control panel 111, and the time of each monitoring is set; when the start monitoring time is reached, the primary conveying component 5 and the secondary conveying component 6 are started, so that the trapping box 2 at the bottom of the box storage bin 3 starts to be conveyed, and when the trapping box 2 is completely conveyed to the secondary conveying component 6, When the trapping time reaches the set time interval, the secondary conveying assembly 6 reverses the conveying and delivers the trapped trapping box 2 to the collecting assembly 4, the secondary conveying assembly 6 stops, and the two electric push rods 119 move the two lifting assemblies 7 in opposite directions, the belt 75 in the lifting assembly 7 contacts the anti-slip panel 24 of the trapping box 2, and the third servo reduction motor 76 drives the belt 75 to move, and the trapping box 2 is lifted. The ants are lifted to the bottom of the collecting assembly 4, and then the two electric push rods 119 drive the collecting assembly 4 to return to the original position to complete the recovery; then the next trapping work is continued until all the trapping boxes 2 in the storage box warehouse 3 have completed the trapping work at the trapping platform 12 and are recovered into the collecting assembly 4, and then the staff can carry out the ant removal work, by rotating the stopper 110 to make it leave the top surface of the sealing plate 41, grab the top handle 412, and pull out the entire collecting assembly 4, and then pull out the movable guide strip 49, and then all the trapping boxes 2 can be pulled out horizontally, and the trapping boxes 2 are arranged in order from top to bottom, and each monitoring time period corresponds to each trapping box 2; the storage box warehouse 3 of the present invention It is used to store the trapping box 2. The primary conveying component 5 and the secondary conveying component 6 are used to move the trapping box 2. The trapping box 2 performs trapping at the trapping platform 12. After the trapping is completed, the secondary conveying component 6 moves it to the bottom of the collecting component 4. The trapping box 2 is lifted to the collecting component 4 for recovery through the lifting component 7, so that the device can perform trapping work in a continuous time period, and the trapping situation of each time period corresponds to each trapping box 2. After the device is deployed once, there is no need for frequent manual recovery. After the trapping work of all time periods is completed, it is only necessary to perform a recovery once to obtain the trapping situation of each time period, which is more convenient for ant trapping monitoring.
