Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of harmful organism traps, and in particular to a termite attracting and monitoring device. Background Art
[0002] Termites are a type of insect that is widely distributed around the world and are known for their powerful destructive power and concealment. They not only harm crops and trees, but also corrode the internal structures of river embankments and reservoir dams, causing leakage and collapse, and causing serious floods. Therefore, it is very important to kill termites in parks, scenic spots, dams and reservoirs, and luring termites before killing them is a very important step, because luring can effectively concentrate termite colonies, improve killing effects, reduce environmental impacts, and ensure that termites are completely eradicated.
[0003] There are some termite attracting and monitoring devices available, but the applicant has found that the following problems exist:
[0004] 1. The existing termite attracting monitoring device has a low efficiency in attracting termites, and the number of termites attracted in a certain period of time is small;
[0005] 2. Although some termite monitoring devices use cameras to observe and lure termites in the device, because the lure core in the device is arranged upright, the camera located on the top of the lure core will have a blind spot even if it has a wide viewing angle, and cannot monitor the termites in the device well.
[0006] Therefore, the existing termite attracting and monitoring devices still have deficiencies in attracting and monitoring termites and cannot effectively concentrate termite colonies, thereby affecting the killing effect of termites. Summary of the invention
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a termite attracting and monitoring device to solve the problem that the existing termite attracting and monitoring devices have low efficiency in attracting termites, easily cause the camera located on the top of the attractant core to have a blind spot, and cannot monitor the termites in the device well.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
[0009] The trapping device comprises a shell with a bottom plate, a core structure and a top cover structure, wherein the core structure is located in the shell, the core structure comprises an attracting core and a positioning device, the attracting core is mounted on the positioning device, the attracting core is arranged in a manner of gradually contracting inward from a position close to the shell, and the attracting core extends out of the shell, and the top cover structure comprises a cover plate and a cover body connected to the cover plate;
[0010] The monitoring device includes an imaging acquisition module, a formic acid sensor, a controller and a wireless communication module;
[0011] The imaging acquisition module includes a thermal imager, an infrared imager and a visible light imager. The imaging acquisition module is installed on the inner surface of the cover plate to collect images of termite activities inside the shell.
[0012] The formic acid sensor is installed on the inner surface of the cover plate to collect the concentration of formic acid gas inside the shell.
[0013] The controller is installed on the cover plate and analyzes the data collected by the imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor.
[0014] The wireless communication module is installed on the cover plate and is used to wirelessly transmit the results of the controller analysis.
[0015] The mounting structure is located on the housing.
[0016] The advantages of this solution are:
[0017] 1. Convenient for observation and monitoring of termites
[0018] The attractant core is arranged so as to gradually retract inward from close to the shell, making rational use of the lateral space. The obstruction between the attractant core and the attractant core is small, making it easy to observe and monitor the termite attraction situation from the cover on the top of the shell, and to promptly discover new termite colonies or activity areas.
[0019] 2. Improved the efficiency of attracting termites
[0020] The installation density of the bait core is reasonable, and the bait core can extend out of the shell, which can attract more termites into the core structure, greatly improving the efficiency of attracting termites.
[0021] 3. Monitoring results are more accurate
[0022] The formic acid sensor and imaging acquisition module are used to monitor termites in the device. Termites produce a certain amount of formic acid gas during the process of digesting wood. The formic acid sensor can detect these trace gases with high sensitivity, thereby indirectly reflecting the existence and activity of termites. The thermal imager uses infrared rays to capture the temperature difference on the surface of an object and generate a clear thermal image. Since the temperature inside the body of a termite is higher than the ambient temperature, the position and activity trajectory of the termite can be clearly identified through thermal imaging. The infrared imager can capture infrared rays with longer wavelengths than visible light, which are divided into different types such as near infrared, mid-infrared and far infrared. It can penetrate some media that visible light cannot penetrate, and is suitable for monitoring at night or under low light conditions. The visible light imager uses light within the spectral range that the human eye can perceive to form an image, and is suitable for observation during the day or under sufficient lighting conditions. The formic acid sensor and the imaging acquisition module complement each other. The former monitors termite activity from a chemical perspective, and the latter captures termite images from a physical perspective, providing more comprehensive information. The controller conducts a comprehensive analysis of the data collected by the imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor. By combining the image data and the gas concentration data, the activity of termites can be judged more accurately, which can significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring results. For example, when the formic acid concentration increases, thermal imaging can confirm whether there is indeed termite activity to avoid false alarms.
[0023] 4. Remote monitoring and management are possible
[0024] The wireless communication module is installed on the cover plate and is used to transmit the results of the controller analysis to a remote server or user terminal via a wireless network. This allows users to view monitoring data and images anytime and anywhere and understand termite activity in a timely manner.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner surface of the cover body is concave, the imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor are arranged at the center of the inner surface of the cover body, and the cover body is snap-connected with the shell.
[0026] Placing the imaging acquisition module and formic acid sensor at the center of the inner surface of the cover allows these two key components to be directly aligned with the core monitoring area inside the shell. This ensures that the collected data is more concentrated and accurate, reducing the impact of the edge area on the monitoring results. The concave design forms a bowl-shaped space on the inner surface of the cover, which helps to concentrate termite activities in the central area and improve the effectiveness of thermal imaging and gas collection. Because the sensor and camera are located in the center of the cover and away from the edge, the interference of the external environment (such as temperature changes, airflow, etc.) on the monitoring data can be effectively reduced, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the data.
[0027] The cover and the housing are designed with a snap-on design, which is convenient for quick installation and removal. This design not only simplifies the installation process, but also improves work efficiency, especially when the monitoring device needs to be frequently replaced or inspected. The snap-on structure provides a reliable mechanical connection to ensure that the cover will not loosen or fall off during use, ensuring the long-term stability of the monitoring device. When the imaging acquisition module or formic acid sensor needs to be maintained, it can be operated by simply opening the cover without complicated tools or steps, which greatly reduces maintenance time and cost.
[0028] Furthermore, the shell is cylindrical, and an luring port is opened near the bottom of the shell; the positioning device is a placement rack that gradually shrinks from top to bottom into a cone shape, and the placement rack includes an annular top plate and a bottom plate, and the top plate and the bottom plate are connected by a support rod. A plurality of delivery ports are provided on the top plate, and a plurality of positioning grooves are provided on the bottom plate, and the positioning grooves are closer to the center of the placement rack than the delivery ports; the attractant core includes a main attractant strip and an auxiliary attractant strip, one end of the main attractant strip is inserted into the positioning groove, and the other end is inserted into the delivery port, the main attractant strip is arranged to be inclined inward from top to bottom, and the auxiliary attractant strip is movably connected to the bottom plate, arranged horizontally, and extends from the attractant port.
[0029] The structure can be widely used in outdoor termite attracting devices, that is, termite attracting devices installed on the ground. A space for placing the main attracting strip is formed between the placement opening and the positioning groove of the placement frame. The main attracting strip can be quickly installed through the positioning groove and the placement opening. The positioning groove is closer to the center of the placement frame than the placement opening. The placement frame gradually shrinks from top to bottom to form a cone. The main attracting strip is tilted inward from top to bottom. Relative to the attracting core set upright, the projection surface of the main attracting strip on the top surface is expanded, which is convenient for observing and monitoring the attracting situation of termites from the cover opening on the top of the shell, and timely discovering new termite colonies or activity areas. In order to better attract outdoor termites, a secondary attracting strip that can be extended from the shell is also provided, so that outdoor termites can enter the termite attracting device along the secondary attracting strip.
[0030] Furthermore, the secondary attractant strips are divergent, and more secondary attractant strips can be arranged in this way; a diffusion hole is opened at the bottom of the positioning groove, one end of the secondary attractant strip is located directly below the diffusion hole, and the other end extends toward the side of the shell. The main attractant strip can emit odor through the diffusion hole, and at the same time form the closest passage for termites from the secondary attractant strip to the main attractant strip, which is conducive to faster termite attraction.
[0031] Furthermore, the attracting opening is larger than the end surface of the auxiliary attracting strip, thereby leaving a passage for termites to enter the device, and termites can directly enter the housing along the auxiliary attracting strip, which is conducive to faster attracting of termites.
[0032] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the shell is hollowed out, and a mounting hole is opened on the bottom surface. The mounting structure includes mounting bolts and a fixing plate, and the mounting bolts pass through the mounting hole and are connected to the fixing plate.
[0033] During installation, the fixing plate and mounting bolts are buried in the soil. Since the bottom of the shell is hollowed out and the auxiliary attractant strip is close to the ground, the device can more directly contact the surface layer where termites often move. This significantly increases the probability of termites finding and entering the device, thereby improving the efficiency of attracting. The hollow design makes the internal environment of the shell closer to the natural habitat of termites, enhancing the attraction to termites. Termites are more easily lured into the device for monitoring or killing. The hollow bottom provides more entry paths, allowing termites to enter the device from multiple directions. Compared with the design of a closed bottom, the hollow bottom greatly increases the chances of termites entering the device and improves the monitoring coverage.
[0034] The hollow bottom allows rainwater and other liquids to drain naturally through the hollow part, avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the housing. This not only prevents the device from failing due to water accumulation, but also reduces the impact of humid environments on electronic components and extends the service life of the device. Water accumulation can easily lead to the growth of mold and other microorganisms, affecting the performance of the monitoring device. The hollow bottom design effectively reduces these potential problems and keeps the inside of the device dry and clean.
[0035] The mounting bolts and fixing plates are buried in the soil, providing a stable support for the entire device. This installation method not only prevents the device from being easily moved or damaged, but also ensures that it is in optimal working condition for a long time. The deep buried design increases the stability of the device, enabling it to resist the influence of external environmental factors (such as wind, earthquake, etc.), and ensure the continuity and accuracy of monitoring data.
[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a solar panel, which is arranged in the cover body. The cover body has a light-transmitting hole, and the solar panel is located below the light-transmitting hole to provide power for the imaging acquisition module, the formic acid sensor, the controller and the wireless communication module.
[0037] The solar panel is set in the cover and receives sunlight through the light-transmitting hole to provide power for the imaging acquisition module, formic acid sensor, controller and wireless communication module. This design enables the device to operate independently away from the power supply without the need for external power supply. Using solar energy as energy not only reduces operating costs, but also conforms to the concept of green environmental protection and reduces dependence on traditional energy.
[0038] Furthermore, ventilation holes are arranged circumferentially at 1 / 3 of the top of the shell. During the activity of termites, metabolic waste gases such as carbon dioxide are produced. The ventilation holes can help these waste gases to be discharged, avoiding their accumulation in the shell and affecting the monitoring results.
[0039] Furthermore, the shell is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the mounting surface of the shell is in the shape of a grid; the positioning device is a connecting net composed of multiple connecting wires; the attractant core includes multiple groups of first attractant bars and second attractant bars arranged laterally, the first attractant bars and the second attractant bars are both connected to the connecting net, the first attractant bars and the second attractant bars are L-shaped, the second attractant bar is overlapped on the first attractant bar, and multiple groups of first attractant bars and second attractant bars are arranged in an staggered inward-recessed manner, and the outer ends of the first attractant bars and the second attractant bars extend out of the grid gap of the mounting surface of the shell.
[0040] The structure can be widely used in indoor termite attracting devices, that is, termite attracting devices installed on the wall. The first attracting strip and the second attracting strip are L-shaped, and multiple groups of the first attracting strip and the second attracting strip are arranged in a staggered inward retreating manner. Most of the side surfaces of the first attracting strip and the second attracting strip can be projected to the top surface, which is convenient for observing and monitoring the attracting situation of termites from the cover at the top of the shell, and timely discovering new termite colonies or activity areas. The outer ends of the first attracting strip and the second attracting strip extend out of the grid gap of the shell installation surface, close to the wall, so that termites can enter the termite attracting device from the wall through the installation surface.
[0041] Furthermore, the first attracting strip and the second attracting strip are perpendicular to each other, and the outer ends of the first attracting strip and the second attracting strip are also perpendicular to each other. When installed and used, they can be close to the wall at the corner. For the termite attracting device, the wall installed at the corner is more concealed, and the attracting effect on termites is better. This structure can better adapt to the indoor termite attracting device. The first attracting strip and the second attracting strip are both provided with installation grooves that can be connected with the connecting wire. The first attracting strip and the second attracting strip are connected to the connecting net by snap-on connection, which is more efficient and flexible. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:
[0050] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include:
[0051] Embodiment 1: a placement rack 101, a main attractant strip 102, a secondary attractant strip 103, a cover 108, a bottom plate 105, a housing 106, a cover plate 107, a cover 108, mounting bolts 109, a fixing plate 110, a light-transmitting hole 111, and a solar panel 112;
[0052] Embodiment 2: a first attractant strip 201 , a second attractant strip 202 , a connecting line 203 , and a housing 204 .
[0053] Example 1
[0054] A termite attracting and monitoring device mainly used outdoors, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a shell, a core structure, a top cover structure, a mounting structure, a monitoring device and a solar panel 112.
[0055] The shell 106 is cylindrical, the bottom surface of the shell 106 is hollow, a mounting hole is opened on the bottom surface, and ventilation holes are arranged circumferentially at 1 / 3 of the top of the shell 106.
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the core structure includes an inducer core and a positioning device.
[0057] The positioning device is a placement rack 101, which includes a circular cover body 108 and a bottom plate 105. The cover body 108 and the bottom plate 105 are concentrically arranged, the diameter of the cover body 108 is larger than the diameter of the bottom plate 105, the cover body 108 and the bottom plate 105 are connected by a support rod, a plurality of delivery ports are provided on the cover body 108, a plurality of positioning grooves are provided on the bottom of the positioning grooves, air diffusion holes are opened at the bottom of the positioning grooves, the positioning grooves are located on the inner side of the delivery ports, and the placement rack 101 gradually shrinks from top to bottom into a cone shape.
[0058] The attractant core includes a main attractant strip 102 and an auxiliary attractant strip 103. The number of the main attractant strips 102 is 8 and they are evenly distributed on the cover 108 and the bottom plate 105. The top of the main attractant strip 102 is inserted into the positioning groove, and the bottom is inserted into the delivery port. The shape and size of the delivery port and the positioning groove match the main attractant strip 102. The main attractant strip 102 is tilted inward from top to bottom, and the inclination of the main attractant strip 102 is 45°. The number of the auxiliary attractant strips 103 is 8 and they are divergent, and their centers coincide with the centers of the cover 108 and the bottom plate 105. One end of the auxiliary attractant strip 103 is located directly below the air diffusion hole, and the other end extends toward the side of the shell 106.
[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top cover structure includes a cover plate 107 and a cover body 104 connected to the cover plate 107 . The inner surface of the cover body is concave, and the cover body is snap-fitted to the top of the shell 106 . The cover plate 107 is a hollow quadrangular pyramid, and a light-transmitting hole 111 is opened on the cover body 104 .
[0060] The mounting structure includes mounting bolts 109 and a fixing plate 110 . The mounting bolts 109 pass through mounting holes on the bottom surface of the housing 106 and are connected to the fixing plate 110 .
[0061] The monitoring device includes an imaging acquisition module, a formic acid sensor, a controller and a wireless communication module. The imaging acquisition module includes a thermal imager, an infrared imager and a visible light imager. The imaging acquisition module is used to acquire images of termite activities inside the housing 106. The formic acid sensor is used to acquire the concentration of formic acid gas inside the housing 106. The imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor are arranged at the center of the inner surface of the cover. The controller is installed on the cover plate 107 to analyze the data collected by the imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor. The wireless communication module is installed on the cover plate 107 to wirelessly transmit the results of the controller analysis.
[0062] The solar panel 112 is disposed in the cover 104 . A light-transmitting hole 111 is formed on the cover 104 . The solar panel 112 is located below the light-transmitting hole 111 to supply power to the imaging acquisition module, the formic acid sensor, the controller and the wireless communication module.
[0063] After the device is assembled, it can be installed close to the ground by burying the mounting bolts 109 and the fixing plate 110 in the soil. Since the bottom of the shell 106 is hollowed out and the auxiliary attractant strip 103 is close to the ground, the device can more directly contact the surface layer where termites often move. This significantly increases the probability of termites finding and entering the device, thereby improving the efficiency of attracting. The hollow design makes the internal environment of the shell 106 closer to the natural habitat of termites, enhancing the attraction to termites. Termites are more easily lured into the device for monitoring or killing. The hollow bottom surface provides more entry paths, allowing termites to enter the device from multiple directions. Compared with the design of a closed bottom surface, the hollow bottom surface greatly increases the chances of termites entering the device and improves the monitoring coverage.
[0064] The hollow bottom allows rainwater and other liquids to drain naturally through the hollow part, avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the housing 106. This not only prevents the device from failing due to water accumulation, but also reduces the impact of the humid environment on electronic components and extends the service life of the device. Water accumulation can easily lead to the growth of mold and other microorganisms, affecting the performance of the monitoring device. The design of the hollow bottom effectively reduces these potential problems and keeps the inside of the device dry and clean.
[0065] Because the secondary attractant strip 103 can extend outside the shell 106 and is close to the ground, it can better attract surrounding termites. Because the opening on the shell 106 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional size of the secondary attractant strip 103, termites can enter the shell 106 through the gap at the opening of the shell 106. The secondary attractant strip 103 is closely connected to the main attractant strip 102, and termites can smoothly climb up the main attractant strip 102. Because the main attractant strip 102 is tilted, it is easier for termites to climb, and the efficiency of attracting ants will be greatly improved. Because the main attractant strip 102 is tilted inward, the projection surface of the main attractant strip 102 is increased, and the imaging acquisition module installed on the inner surface of the cover plate 107 can timely capture images of termite activities inside the shell 106.
[0066] Since the temperature inside the body of a termite is higher than the ambient temperature, thermal imaging can clearly identify the position and activity trajectory of the termite. The formic acid sensor also installed on the inner surface of the cover 107 is used to detect the concentration of formic acid gas inside the housing 106 with high sensitivity. Termites produce formic acid gas during the process of digesting wood, so the change in formic acid concentration can indirectly reflect the existence and activity of termites. The controller is installed on the cover 107 and is responsible for comprehensive analysis of the data collected by the imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor. By combining image data and gas concentration data, the activity of termites can be judged more accurately, and alarms or other response measures can be automatically triggered according to preset rules.
[0067] The wireless communication module is installed on the cover plate 107 and is used to transmit the results of the controller analysis to a remote server or user terminal via a wireless network. This allows users to view monitoring data and images anytime and anywhere, understand termite activity in a timely manner, and make necessary interventions.
[0068] The solar panel 112 is disposed in the cover 104 and receives sunlight through the light-transmitting hole 111 to provide power for the imaging acquisition module, the formic acid sensor, the controller and the wireless communication module. This design enables the device to operate independently in places far away from power sources, such as parks, dams and hillsides, without the need for external power supply. Using solar energy as energy not only reduces operating costs, but also complies with the concept of green environmental protection and reduces dependence on traditional energy.
[0069] In this embodiment, the controller is used to perform image recognition on the images collected by the imaging acquisition module to obtain the number of termites, and the acquisition information includes the number of termites. The controller uses the Yolov5s recognition model to identify termites, and counts according to the recognition results, and sends the counting results to the background server through the wireless communication module. The wireless communication module can use a WIFI module, a Bluetooth module, a mobile communication module, a zigbee module, etc. The formic acid sensor is also electrically connected to the controller to collect the formic acid concentration in the termite monitoring device. By collecting the formic acid concentration, the situation of termites in the monitoring device can be more accurately obtained. The formic acid sensor can verify the results of the imaging acquisition module recognition to avoid large recognition errors caused by low computing power, and it is also convenient for evaluating and detecting imagers, infrared imagers, visible light imagers, and formic acid sensor failures.
[0070] Example 2
[0071] A termite attracting and monitoring device mainly used outdoors, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a shell 204, a core structure, a top cover structure, a mounting structure and a monitoring device.
[0072] The housing 204 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the mounting surface of the housing 204 is in a grid shape, and the other surfaces are closed surfaces.
[0073] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the core structure includes an inducer core and a positioning device.
[0074] The positioning device is a connection network composed of a plurality of connection wires 203 .
[0075] The lure core includes four groups of first lure strips 201 and second lure strips 202 arranged transversely, and mounting grooves are arranged on the first lure strips 201 and the second lure strips 202. The first lure strips 201 and the second lure strips 202 are fixed to the connection net through the mounting grooves. The first lure strips 201 and the second lure strips 202 are L-shaped, the first lure strips 201 and the second lure strips 202 are perpendicular to each other, and the second lure strip 202 is overlapped on the first lure strip 201. Multiple groups of first lure strips 201 and second lure strips 202 are arranged in a staggered inward retreating manner, and the outer side surfaces of the first lure strips 201 and the second lure strips 202 are clamped with the outer shell 204, and the outer ends of the first lure strips 201 and the second lure strips 202 extend out of the grid gap on the mounting surface of the outer shell 204.
[0076] The top cover structure includes a flat top plate, which is designed as a push-pull buckle, and is connected to the outer shell 204 by buckles and sealed, and the inner surface of the top plate is concave.
[0077] The mounting structure includes mounting holes and screws. The housing 204 is fixed to a wall by screws. When the grid gaps on the mounting surface are dense, the grid gaps can be directly used as mounting holes and the screws can be passed through the grid gaps to fix the housing. When the grid gaps on the mounting surface are sparse, additional mounting holes need to be opened on the housing 204 for fixing.
[0078] The monitoring device includes an imaging acquisition module, a formic acid sensor, a controller and a wireless communication module. The imaging acquisition module is used to acquire images of termite activities inside the housing 204. The formic acid sensor is used to acquire the concentration of formic acid gas inside the housing 204. The imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor are arranged at the center of the inner surface of the cover. The controller is installed on the cover plate to analyze the data collected by the imaging acquisition module and the formic acid sensor. The wireless communication module is installed on the cover plate to wirelessly transmit the results analyzed by the controller.
[0079] The device is installed close to the indoor corner, and the outer ends of the first attractant strip 201 and the second attractant strip 202 are against the outer shell 204 and close to the wall, which can effectively attract termites hidden in the gaps of the house. Because there is a certain gap between the outer shell 204 and the wall, termites can enter the outer shell 204 through the gap at the opening of the outer shell 204. Termites will enter the core structure along the outer ends of multiple groups of first attractant strips 201 and second attractant strips 202. Multiple groups of first attractant strips 201 and second attractant strips 202 are arranged in an offset inward-recessed manner. Most of the side surfaces of the first attractant strips 201 and the second attractant strips 202 can be projected to the top surface, which is convenient for observing and monitoring the termite attraction situation from the cover at the top of the outer shell 204, and timely discovering new termite colonies or activity areas.
[0080] The monitoring device can be powered by the mains to provide stable power support. For monitoring points that are deployed at fixed locations for a long time, the mains power supply can ensure the continuous normal operation of the device. The principle and effect of the monitoring device are the same as those of Example 1, and will not be described again.
[0081] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific technical solutions and / or characteristics in the solution is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
