Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of modern ecological agricultural pest control, and in particular to a strong light flashing pest control system. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main means of preventing and controlling diseases and pests in agricultural greenhouses is to spray pesticides, which leads to drug residues, reduces the quality of crops and fruits, and increases the risk of food safety. In addition, due to the long-term use of chemical pesticides, some pests have developed strong drug resistance, causing some pests to be rampant. Moreover, pesticides seriously pollute water, atmosphere and soil, and enter the human body through the food chain, endangering human health.

[0003] Microwave technology is a pest control method that does not use pesticides, but it has many disadvantages. Microwave technology itself consumes a lot of electricity to generate sufficient microwave radiation, resulting in high energy consumption and operating costs; in addition, microwave radiation will also have a certain negative impact on plants and crops. High-intensity microwave radiation has a greater impact on the quality of fruits and vegetables. For example, when heated in a microwave oven, the inside of fruits and vegetables will be cooked but the skin will be intact.

[0004] Black light trapping is also a pest control method that does not use pesticides, but it is "luring but not killing". Killing insects often involves luring pests into a light box and electrocuting them with a high-voltage power grid, or sealing the insects in a light box to fend for themselves. Black light is a special gas discharge lamp that emits 330-400nm ultraviolet light waves, which are light that humans are not sensitive to, so it is called a black light. There is a pigment on the retina of phototactic insects that can absorb a certain wavelength of light and cause a photoreaction, stimulate the visual nerves, and command the motor organs through the nervous system, thereby causing the movement of the insect's wings and feet to move toward the light source. A 360nm black light can lure most pests.

[0005] Since pests have visual systems, the present invention interferes with and destroys the visual systems of pests, and through strong light flashes, the pests lose their ability to survive, thereby achieving an insecticidal effect.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pest control system with strong light flashing that can solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0066] Embodiment 1:

[0067] The present invention takes the working environment of a vegetable greenhouse as an example to introduce the technical solution of the present application in detail. Figure 2 As shown, it includes several strong light flashing modules 1, one controller 2 and several reflectors 3.

[0068] The strong light strobe module 1 is installed on the bracket on the top of the greenhouse. The installation height of each strong light strobe module 1 is different. According to the requirements of strong light intensity and coverage area, the strong light coverage area of ​​each strong light strobe module 1 is guaranteed, for example, 5 meters × 5 meters.

[0069] The light source of the strong light flash module 1 adopts 4 5W super bright ultraviolet LED lamp beads, using CA3535-CUN6GF1A flat 5W high-power 365NM ultraviolet UV LED lamp beads from Seoul, South Korea, with a wavelength of 365nm; the wavelength selection unit adopts a narrow-band ultraviolet bandpass filter with a central wavelength of 365nm; a transparent polycarbonate lamp holder with a field of view angle of 100° is used; the first power supply unit boosts and stabilizes the DC power connected from the controller 2 to meet the power supply requirements of the LED; the light source switch control unit adopts an internal trigger working mode to control the light source on and off according to the internal frequency, and the internal frequency is set to 1Hz.

[0070] A plurality of reflectors 3 are arranged in the greenhouse, facing the light emission direction of the strong light flash module 1, improving the coverage of the light, and are arranged obliquely upward at various angles. A reflector 3 is installed on the greenhouse wall and the greenhouse frame at a certain interval, such as 2.5 meters. This arrangement can effectively reflect the light emitted by the strong light flash module 1, ensuring that the light can illuminate the entire greenhouse without leaving dead corners, thereby significantly improving the pest control effect. The reflector 3 is installed on an adjustable bracket for easy adjustment.

[0071] The main control unit of the controller 2 adopts the STM32F407 single chip microcomputer; the communication interface unit adopts the 4G communication module, and the user sends the system's on and off frequency, working time and working mode requirements to the main control unit through the mobile phone APP; the first power supply unit provides stable power to the strong light flash module 1 during the working time. The user sets the working time between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am the next day, and the working mode is set to work continuously for 10 minutes every 30 minutes. The light source switch control unit of the strong light flash module 1 adopts the internal trigger working mode.

[0072] Embodiment 2:

[0073] The present invention takes the working environment of drone field pest control as an example to introduce the technical solution of the present application in detail. Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, 24 strong light flash modules 1 and 1 controller 2 are integrated into one physical device and mounted on the drone. The field of view of the lamp head of each strong light flash module 1 is 15°, and the installation angle is 15° outward obliquely.

The quartz tubes are filled with iodides containing mercury, argon, gallium, iron iodides and some rare metal halides, and the spectrum is between 350-450nm. Because this spectrum range is basically within the range of 350-400nm, the most effective ultraviolet wavelength for killing insect pests, the wavelength selection unit uses a 400nm long-wave ultraviolet cutoff filter; a lamp holder with a field of view angle of 15° is used; the first power supply unit boosts, stabilizes and ballasts the DC power connected from the controller 2 to meet the power requirements of the metal halide lamp; the light source switch control unit adopts an external triggering working mode to control the light source on and off according to the trigger signal sent by the controller 2.

[0075] The main control unit of controller 2 adopts STM32F407 single-chip computer; the communication interface unit adopts RS422 communication module. The UAV sets the on-off frequency of the system to 0.5Hz and the working mode to continuous operation through the RS422 interface. The UAV controls the working time of the system by turning on and off the power supply of controller 2; during operation, controller 2 always outputs stable power to strong light strobe module 1; strong light strobe module 1 continues to work as the UAV flies, and the on-off frequency is 0.5Hz.

[0076] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention.
