Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of insect monitoring lamps and related devices, and in particular to an insect monitoring lamp that can operate continuously in complex climatic environments. Background Technology
[0002] Insect pest monitoring lamps are mainly used for monitoring and controlling agricultural and forestry pests. They employ a combination of light-controlled and rain-controlled operating modes. The light-controlled mode presets the lamp's overall operating period: it remains in standby mode during sunny days and begins collecting samples in the evening or at night. The rain-controlled mode controls whether the lamp is officially operational: it must perform the processes of diversion, collection, drying, and sampling within a predetermined time period and under rainless natural conditions. Based on design principles, the rain-controlled mode, as a safety precaution, has higher priority than the light-controlled mode; the equipment will not operate during normal operating hours if there is rainfall.
[0003] In fact, the natural environment in agricultural and forestry areas is a complex climatic environment. Due to the presence of trees and vegetation, wild insects are active even during the day or during rainfall. Secondly, rainfall in natural environments is intermittent, often starting in bursts and stopping in bursts, and insects begin to become active when the rain stops. At the same time, water droplets on the sensors do not evaporate easily, causing a delay in the equipment's startup time. Furthermore, the timing of activity varies depending on the season, geographical environment, and insect species. Using such a complex climatic environment as a prerequisite, it is unscientific to simply and rigidly stipulate the operating hours of insect monitoring lights and immediately shut down the equipment when it rains. This will result in the loss of much actual insect activity information, affecting the collection of accurate insect sampling data.
[0004] In addition, the humid and hot natural environment in the wild makes it easy for various molds to grow. When mold adheres to the non-metallic material of the insect monitoring lamp, it not only affects the reliability of the electrical equipment but also affects the sampling of insect images. Some rubber conveyor belts are prone to being covered with mold after long-term operation in the field, which seriously affects the clarity of the final insect sampling images.
[0005] Furthermore, insect monitoring lamps are often placed in remote agricultural and forestry areas. Their power supply typically relies on battery packs, which in turn require solar panels for photoelectric conversion and energy storage. Because battery capacity is limited, the equipment must also utilize energy efficiently. Using multiple collection chambers to kill insects and frequently employing a vibrator to flatten the insects for clear images increases energy consumption and is detrimental to the long-term, efficient operation of the equipment.
[0006] In summary, it is necessary to design an insect pest monitoring lamp that can operate continuously under complex climatic conditions, enabling long-term, uninterrupted operation. To address unforeseen factors such as continuous rainfall, sudden downpours, and mechanical failures, it is crucial to ensure the lamp can quickly divert and drain rainwater at any stage of operation. Improving the monitoring effect and duration of the insect pest monitoring lamp, and ensuring its stable and efficient operation, is also essential. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the problems of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an insect monitoring lamp that can operate continuously in complex climatic environments, meeting the practical needs of monitoring and controlling agricultural and forestry pests. It enables long-term, continuous collection, processing, and sampling of insects, improving the accuracy of insect information. Simultaneously, it avoids the influence of unreliable factors, allowing for rapid separation of rainwater and insects, and is not limited by operating modes. Specific details are as follows:
[0008] An insect monitoring lamp that can operate continuously in complex climatic environments includes:
[0009] The sensor assembly, open insect trap, sloping pre-filter water collection funnel, rotary rain insect separation device, insect conveying impeller, dual-lens sampling assembly, crawler conveyor belt and collection box are installed on the base in the order from high to low.
[0010] The sensor assembly is located on top of the insect monitoring lamp and includes a rainfall sensor, a light intensity transmitter, and a sensor mounting bracket. The sensor is used to sense the weather conditions in the area where the insect monitoring lamp is located.
[0011] The open-type insect-attracting cage is installed above the sloping pre-filter water collection funnel and consists of a cage frame, a top cover, an insect-attracting lamp, a glass plate, and wiring posts. The cage frame is an open rectangular frame with two hollow round tubes inside as wiring posts for connecting the sensor and insect-attracting lamp circuits. The top cover is used to block the light above the insect-attracting lamp, so that pests can be attracted from the direction parallel to the glass plate, hit the glass plate, and fall into the collection funnel.
[0012] The sloping pre-filter water collection funnel is installed above the rotary rain-insect separation device. It consists of an inverted square pyramid funnel wall, a sloping square funnel outlet at the bottom, a brush A on the lower side wall of the funnel outlet, and a filter screen on the lower side wall of the funnel. The sloping square funnel outlet space at the bottom serves as a pre-collection area for insects. The inverted square pyramid funnel wall design offsets the funnel outlet, preventing rainwater from directly entering the device and allowing it to drain through the filter screen on the lower side wall. The brush A on the lower side wall of the funnel outlet pushes the insects into the rotary rain-insect separation device for separation.
[0013] The insect conveying impeller is installed below the rotary rain insect separation device. The insect conveying impeller is composed of a stainless steel impeller, an impeller support and a drive motor. The stainless steel impeller is provided with multiple grooves.
[0014] The tracked conveyor belt is installed below the insect conveying impeller and consists of a tracked conveyor belt, a tracked drive assembly, and a protective plate; the protective plate is installed on both sides above the tracked conveyor belt.
[0015] The dual-lens sampling assembly is installed downstream of the conveyor belt and consists of a camera bracket, a rotatable camera pole, and two miniature cameras. A collection box is located below the downstream of the conveyor belt, and the insects, after their images are captured by the dual-lens sampling assembly, fall from the conveyor belt and enter the collection box.
[0016] Furthermore, the rotary rain insect separation device includes a separation device housing; the separation device housing includes a main cavity, a rainwater collection cavity, and an insect body processing cavity;
[0017] The main cavity is a cylindrical shape with a horizontal axis. A collection port is provided at the top of the arc surface, and a lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate is provided directly below the bottom of the arc surface. The area of the arc surface where the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate is located is larger than the area of the collection port.
[0018] The main cavity contains a cylindrical rotary rain insect separation channel coaxial with the main cavity, which can rotate within the separation device housing. The rotary rain insect separation channel includes an inlet, an outlet, an upper arc-shaped drainage sieve, a sliding plate, and a baffle plate. The sliding plate is coaxial with the rotary rain insect separation channel and divides it into two areas of equal volume. The inlet and outlet are located on the arc surface of the rotary rain insect separation channel and on the same side of the sliding plate, respectively connecting to both ends of the sliding plate. The baffle plate is installed on the arc surface of the rotary rain insect separation channel and is located between the inlet and outlet. The upper arc-shaped drainage sieve is installed on the arc surface of the rotary rain insect separation channel, connecting to the inlet and positioned opposite the inlet on the other side of the sliding plate. The area of the upper arc-shaped drainage sieve is larger than the area of the collection port.
[0019] The rainwater collection chamber and the insect treatment chamber are installed below the main chamber; the top opening of the rainwater collection chamber covers an area from the left side of the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate to the right end of the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate; the top opening of the insect treatment chamber is located on the right side of the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate.
[0020] When the insect inlet is vertically aligned with the collection port, the insect outlet is directly opposite the top opening of the insect treatment chamber, and the sliding plate is tilted at this time; when the rotary rain-insect separation channel rotates to the point where the upper arc-shaped drainage sieve plate is directly opposite most of the collection ports, the baffle plate blocks the top opening of the insect treatment chamber.
[0021] Furthermore, the side wall of the separation device housing is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove, and the side of the rotary rain insect separation channel is provided with a positioning cam. The positioning cam can move in the limiting groove, and the rotation angle of the rotary rain insect separation channel can be limited by the cooperation between the positioning cam and the limiting groove.
[0022] Furthermore, a push rod motor assembly is installed on the outside of the separation device housing; the rotating shaft of the rotary rain insect separation channel passes through the separation device housing to the outside, and the push rod motor assembly includes a crank, a motor, and a push rod; the crank is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary rain insect separation channel, converting the linear motion of the push rod into the reciprocating circular motion of the rotary rain insect separation channel.
[0023] Furthermore, a brush B is installed at the lower end of the sliding plate of the rotary rain insect separation channel. When the rotary rain insect separation channel rotates from the state where the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate is facing the collection port to the state where the insect inlet is facing the collection port, the insects that fall from the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate onto the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate can be brushed into the insect processing cavity by the brush B.
[0024] Furthermore, the slide plate has a double-layer hollow structure. The upper surface of the upper half of the slide plate is provided with an inverted V-shaped corrugated ridge, and the side is provided with drainage holes. The upper surface of the lower half of the slide plate is provided with a vertical drainage groove.
[0025] Furthermore, the surface of the sliding plate is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.
[0026] Furthermore, an upper flap and a lower flap are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the insect body processing cavity, and an infrared lamp is provided in the area between the upper flap and the lower flap; a flap drive motor is respectively provided on the outside of the insect body processing cavity at the pivot position of the upper flap and the lower flap to control the opening and closing of the upper flap and the lower flap.
[0027] Furthermore, the separation device housing is provided with an installation port, and an upper cover is installed on the installation port. Waterproof sealant is used to seal the gap between the upper cover and the separation device housing.
[0028] Sensor component 1 is used to obtain local weather information and control the working hours of the insect monitoring lamp. The open insect trap 2 uses insect-attracting lamp 23 to attract pests. When the pests pass through the trap and hit the transparent glass plate 24, they fall into the inclined pre-filter water collection funnel 3 below and collect in the internal space of the inclined square funnel outlet 32 below. The rain-insect separation device mainly consists of two key components: the separation device box 41 and the rotary rain-insect separation channel. By rotating the rotary rain-insect separation channel to switch the channel orientation, the insects are sequentially sent to the insect processing chamber 48 for processing. In the normal mode, the insect inlet is aligned with the collection port, and the insect outlet is aligned with the top opening of the insect processing chamber. At this time, if there are water droplets, they will be separated by the slide plate 424 into the rainwater collection chamber 47 on the left side of the separation device box 41, and the insects will slide down the slide plate 424 into the insect processing chamber 48. When it rains, the rotary wheel rotates via the push rod motor assembly 45 to switch channels, aligning the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 with the collection port, and the baffle plate 425 blocks the top opening of the insect treatment chamber; insects gather at the collection port, and rainwater flows into the rainwater collection chamber 47. When the rain stops, the rotary wheel motor assembly 45 rotates to switch channels back to the initial state; the brush A33 pushes the flying insects still on the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 into the insect treatment chamber 48; simultaneously, the fallen insects also fall onto the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414 on the upper part of the rainwater collection chamber 47 of the device box, and the brush B426 under the sliding plate 424 of the rotary rain-insect separation channel continues to push these insects to one side of the insect treatment chamber 48. For subsequent processing of the insects, an insect inactivation and drying zone is formed within the insect processing chamber 48 by an upper flap 411 and a lower flap 413. The upper flap 411 ensures that the insects do not escape, while the lower flap 413 transfers and discharges the insects. Insects sliding down from the end of the rotary insect separation channel fall onto the lower flap 413, where they are inactivated and dried by infrared lamps. The insect conveying impeller 5 has multiple slots that sequentially collect the insects falling from above and pour them onto the bottom conveyor belt 6. Finally, the conveyor belt transfers the dried insects to a suitable location for sampling by the dual-lens sampling assembly 7. After sampling, the insects fall into the collection box in the base 8 at the end of the conveyor belt.
[0029] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0030] This invention provides an insect pest monitoring lamp that can operate continuously in complex climatic environments. It can work continuously in various complex weather conditions such as light rainfall, sudden showers, and heavy fog. Even if an electrical or mechanical failure causes the device to stop working, rainwater can be quickly guided to the rainwater collection chamber for discharge. This continuous operation ensures that insects can be continuously collected, improving the timeliness of the insect pest monitoring lamp and guaranteeing the accuracy of insect pest monitoring data.

Detailed Implementation
[0050] In order to make the technical means, creative features and objectives of the present invention easy to understand, the technical solution of the invention will be further explained below with reference to one embodiment of an insect monitoring lamp that can operate continuously in complex climatic environments and specific implementation methods.
[0051] like Figure 1-11 As shown, specific embodiments of the invention are given below:
[0052] A pest monitoring lamp that can operate continuously in complex climatic environments includes: a sensor assembly 1, an open insect trap 2, a sloping pre-filter water collection funnel 3, a rotary rain-insect separation device 4, an insect conveying impeller 5, a dual-lens sampling assembly 7, and a crawler conveyor belt 6, arranged in descending order on a base 8.
[0053] Sensor assembly 1 is located on top of the insect monitoring lamp and includes a rainfall sensor, a light intensity transmitter, and a sensor mounting bracket. It senses the weather conditions in the area where the insect monitoring lamp is located. An open-type insect-attracting cage 2 is installed above a sloping pre-filter collection funnel 3 and consists of a cage frame 21, a top cover 22, an insect-attracting lamp 23, a glass plate 24, and wiring posts 25. The cage frame 21 is an open rectangular frame with two hollow round tubes inside serving as wiring posts 25 for connecting the sensor and insect-attracting lamp 23 circuits. The top cover 22... The light above the insect-attracting lamp 23 is used to block the light, allowing pests to be attracted from a direction parallel to the glass plate 24, hit the glass plate 24, and fall into the collection funnel. The sloping pre-filter collection funnel 3 is installed above the rotary rain-insect separation device 4 and consists of an inverted square pyramidal funnel wall 31, a sloping square funnel outlet 32 at the bottom, a brush A33 on the lower side wall of the funnel outlet, and a filter screen 34 on the lower side wall of the funnel. The space at the sloping square funnel outlet 32 at the bottom serves as a pre-collection area for pests. The funnel outlet is offset by the inverted quadrangular pyramidal funnel wall 31, preventing rainwater from directly entering the equipment and allowing it to drain through the filter screen 34 on the lower side wall. The brush A33 on the lower side wall of the funnel outlet pushes the insects into the rotary rain-insect separation device 4 for separation. The insect conveying impeller 5 is installed below the rotary rain-insect separation device 4 and consists of a stainless steel impeller 51, an impeller support 52, and a drive motor 53. The stainless steel impeller 51 has multiple grooves. A crawler conveyor belt is also included. The 6 is installed below the insect conveyor impeller 5 and consists of a crawler conveyor belt 61, a crawler drive assembly 62, and a protective plate 63. The protective plate is installed on both sides above the crawler conveyor belt 61. The dual-lens sampling assembly 7 is installed downstream of the crawler conveyor belt 6 and consists of a camera bracket 71, a rotatable camera rod 72, and two miniature cameras 73. A collection box is set below the downstream of the crawler conveyor belt 6. After the insects are imaged by the dual-lens sampling assembly 7, they fall from the crawler conveyor belt 6 and enter the collection box.
[0054] The rotary rain-insect separation device 4 includes a separation device housing 41, which includes a main cavity, a rainwater collection cavity 47, and an insect body processing cavity 48, used to collect and separate rainwater and insect bodies. The separation device housing 41 is provided with an installation port, and an upper cover 43 is installed on the installation port. Waterproof sealant is used to seal the gap between the upper cover 43 and the separation device housing 41.
[0055] The main cavity is a cylindrical shape with a horizontal axis. A collection port is provided at the top of the arc surface, and a lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414 is provided directly below the bottom of the arc surface. The area of the arc surface where the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414 is located is larger than the area of the collection port.
[0056] The main cavity contains a cylindrical, rotating rain insect separation channel coaxial with the main cavity. This rotating rain insect separation channel can rotate within the separation device housing 41. An arc-shaped limiting groove is formed on the side wall of the separation device housing 41. A positioning cam 421 is provided on the side of the rotating rain insect separation channel. The positioning cam 421 can move within the limiting groove, and the rotation angle of the rotating rain insect separation channel is limited by the cooperation of the positioning cam 421 and the limiting groove. The rotation angle is limited to °. A push rod motor assembly 45 is installed outside the separation device housing 41. The rotating shaft of the rotating rain insect separation channel passes through the separation device housing 41 to the outside. The push rod motor assembly 45 includes a crank 422, a motor, and a push rod. The crank 422 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating rain insect separation channel, converting the linear motion of the push rod into the reciprocating circular motion of the rotating rain insect separation channel. The rotary rain-insect separation channel includes an insect inlet, an insect outlet, an upper arc-shaped drainage sieve plate 423, a sliding plate 424, and a water-blocking plate 425. The sliding plate 424 is coaxial with the rotary rain-insect separation channel and divides the channel into two areas of equal volume. The sliding plate 424 has a double-layer hollow structure. The upper surface of the upper half of the sliding plate 424 has inverted V-shaped corrugated ridges, and drainage holes are provided on the sides. The upper surface of the lower half of the sliding plate 424 has vertical drainage grooves. The surface of the sliding plate 424 is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene. The insect inlet and outlet are located on the arc surface of the rotating rain-insect separation channel and on the same side of the slide plate 424, respectively connecting to both ends of the slide plate 424; the water baffle 425 is installed on the arc surface of the rotating rain-insect separation channel and is located between the insect inlet and the outlet; the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 is installed on the arc surface of the rotating rain-insect separation channel, and the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 is connected to the insect inlet and is installed on the other side of the slide plate 424 opposite to the insect inlet; the area of the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 is larger than the area of the collection port.
[0057] The rainwater collection chamber 47 and the insect body treatment chamber 48 are installed below the main chamber; the top opening of the rainwater collection chamber 47 covers an area from the left side of the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414 to the right end of the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414; the top opening of the insect body treatment chamber 48 is located on the right side of the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414.
[0058] When the insect inlet is vertically aligned with the collection port, the insect outlet is directly opposite the top opening of the insect treatment chamber 48, and the sliding plate 424 is tilted at this time. When the rotary rain-insect separation channel rotates to the point where the upper arc-shaped drainage sieve plate 423 is directly opposite most of the collection ports, the baffle plate 425 blocks the top opening of the insect treatment chamber 48. The upper and lower ends of the insect treatment chamber 48 are respectively provided with an upper flap 411 and a lower flap 413, and an infrared lamp 412 is provided in the area between the upper flap 411 and the lower flap 413. The outside of the insect treatment chamber 48, corresponding to the pivot positions of the upper flap 411 and the lower flap 413, is provided with a flap drive motor 4653 to control the opening and closing of the upper flap 411 and the lower flap 413.
[0059] A brush B426 is installed at the lower end of the sliding plate 424 of the rotary rain-insect separation channel. As the rotary rain-insect separation channel rotates from a position where the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 faces the collection port to a position where the insect inlet faces the collection port, insects falling from the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 onto the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414 can be brushed into the insect processing cavity 48 by the brush B426. The internal cavities of the rain-insect separation device are all coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which effectively increases the smoothness of the inner cavity, facilitating the collection of rainwater and insects.
[0060] Sensor component 1 is used to obtain local weather information and control the working hours of the insect monitoring lamp. The open insect trap 2 uses insect-attracting lamp 23 to attract pests. When the pests pass through the trap and hit the transparent glass plate 24, they fall into the inclined pre-filter water collection funnel 3 below and collect in the internal space of the inclined square funnel outlet 32 below. The rain-insect separation device mainly consists of two key components: the separation device box 41 and the rotary rain-insect separation channel. By rotating the rotary rain-insect separation channel to switch the channel orientation, the insects are sequentially sent to the insect processing chamber 48 for processing. In the normal mode, the insect inlet is aligned with the collection port, and the insect outlet is aligned with the top opening of the insect processing chamber. At this time, if there are water droplets, they will be separated by the slide plate 424 into the rainwater collection chamber 47 on the left side of the separation device box 41, and the insects will slide down the slide plate 424 into the insect processing chamber 48. When it rains, the rotary wheel rotates via the push rod motor assembly 45 to switch channels, aligning the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 with the collection port, and the baffle plate 425 blocks the top opening of the insect treatment chamber; insects gather at the collection port, and rainwater flows into the rainwater collection chamber 47. When the rain stops, the rotary wheel motor assembly 45 rotates to switch channels back to the initial state; the brush A33 pushes the flying insects still on the upper arc-shaped drainage screen plate 423 into the insect treatment chamber 48; simultaneously, the fallen insects also fall onto the lower arc-shaped drainage screen plate 414 on the upper part of the rainwater collection chamber 47 of the device box, and the brush B426 under the sliding plate 424 of the rotary rain-insect separation channel continues to push these insects to one side of the insect treatment chamber 48. For subsequent processing of the insects, an insect inactivation and drying zone is formed within the insect processing chamber 48 by an upper flap 411 and a lower flap 413. The upper flap 411 ensures that the insects do not escape, while the lower flap 413 transfers and discharges the insects. Insects sliding down from the end of the rotary insect separation channel fall onto the lower flap 413, where they are inactivated and dried by infrared lamps. The insect conveying impeller 5 has multiple slots that sequentially collect the insects falling from above and pour them onto the bottom conveyor belt 6. Finally, the conveyor belt transfers the dried insects to a suitable location for sampling by the dual-lens sampling assembly 7. After sampling, the insects fall into the collection box in the base 8 at the end of the conveyor belt.
[0061] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
