Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flower beetle delivery, and in particular to a device specially used for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to deliver flower beetles. Background Art

[0002] As an important natural enemy of longhorn beetle pests, the flower beetle plays a key role in biological control. By preying on the larvae and pupae of longhorn beetles, it can effectively reduce the population density of longhorn beetles, and has irreplaceable value in controlling the pest population and maintaining the ecological balance of forests.

[0003] However, the traditional method of releasing flower beetles in mountain forests mainly relies on manual operation. Forestry workers need to go deep into the mountains and forests, facing many challenges. The high mountains and long roads make manual release extremely inefficient, and a lot of time and energy are spent on the road. When encountering rugged and steep mountains and forests, it is difficult for manpower to reach them, resulting in many areas with serious pests unable to receive effective biological control in time, and the scope of pests has further expanded.

[0004] Even if we try to use an external delivery device, there are still many problems. Since flower beetles are living animals and have the habit of clinging to each other, in a simple delivery box, they are often delivered alone or in groups, which makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity of the number of flower beetles in the delivery area; the density in some areas is too high, resulting in waste of resources and competition pressure; while the density in some areas is too low, making it impossible to effectively play a biological control role.

[0005] At the same time, the existing delivery boxes have a single function and only have the basic function of storing flower beetles. During the delivery process, it is impossible to provide a suitable living environment for the flower beetles inside, and it is difficult to ensure their survival and activity. For example, the temperature and humidity in the high-altitude environment vary greatly, and the delivery boxes cannot be effectively adjusted, resulting in the death or decreased vitality of some flower beetles before delivery, which seriously affects the biological control effect.

[0006] In addition, after the delivery is completed, there are often residual excrement and debris of the flower beetles in the delivery box. These residues will not only breed bacteria and viruses, affecting the health of the subsequent flower beetles, but also hinder the re-delivery work, such as blocking the delivery port, reducing the reliability and practicality of the delivery device.

[0007] To sum up, the existing release methods and release devices of flower beetles have obvious limitations. There is an urgent need for a new release technology and device that is efficient, accurate and can ensure the survival and activity of flower beetles to meet the actual needs of forestry biological control work and effectively respond to the increasingly severe threat of forest trunk borers.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention proposes a device specially used for dropping flower beetles by unmanned aerial vehicles to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose a device specially used for dropping flower beetles by drones to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a device dedicated to the delivery of flower down parasites by unmanned aerial vehicles, comprising: a main body shell, a buckle cover, an auxiliary block, a filling port, and a plugging member, wherein the buckle cover is buckled on the main body shell, the auxiliary block is fixedly connected to the main body shell, the plugging member blocks the plugging member provided on the main body shell, and further comprises: a flow divider and an anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component, and a multi-range maintenance component, wherein the anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component and the multi-range maintenance component are on the same vertical plane; The anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component is used to maintain the transfer of the flower down beetle as a single and uniform transfer and delivery work each time when the flower down beetle is delivered; The multi-range maintenance component is used to maintain the stability of the vital signs of the flower beetle during the transfer process, and to ensure the cleaning of insect excrement and debris on the equipment parts after the placement is completed.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-adhesion quantitative and uniform delivery component includes a square cavity, in which a temporary insect storage bin is symmetrically fixedly connected, the diverter fluid is fixedly connected to the temporary insect storage bin, and a transfer pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the temporary insect storage bin and passes through the square cavity.

[0012] Preferably, a circular ring shell is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer tube, a support body is fixedly connected to one side of the circular ring shell, and a driving column is fixedly connected to the middle of the support body.

[0013] Preferably, a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the driving column, and grooves are equidistantly formed on the outer ring of the rotating plate.

[0014] Preferably, a release pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular shell, a delivery port is fixedly opened at the bottom end of the main body shell, and the release pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the main body shell.

[0015] Preferably, the multi-range maintenance assembly includes an electric telescopic rod fixed to the top wall of the inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​cover, the snap-fit ​​cover is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, the sliding grooves are inserted with plug-in electromagnetic columns, and the plug-in electromagnetic columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​cover.

[0016] Preferably, magnets are symmetrically fixedly connected to the four corners of the square cavity, and the square cavity is magnetically attracted to the inner cavity wall of the snap-fit ​​cover through the magnets.

[0017] Preferably, an auxiliary cavity member is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod, and a circular hole is formed through the auxiliary cavity member.

[0018] Preferably, a maintenance circular opening is opened transversely through the annular shell.

[0019] Preferably, the temporary insect storage bin is designed to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a device dedicated to the delivery of flower beetles by drones, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention can bring the following benefits to the overall work through the design of anti-adhesion quantitative and uniform delivery components: Significantly improve the biological control effect: The device accurately controls the number and uniformity of flower beetles released, ensuring that in the target area, there are appropriate amounts of flower beetles around every tree threatened by longhorn beetle pests. This means that flower beetles can prey on longhorn beetle larvae and pupae more comprehensively and efficiently, significantly reducing the density of longhorn beetle populations, curbing the spread of pests at the source, effectively protecting the health and stability of forest ecosystems, and greatly improving the biological control of major tree-boring pests such as Monochamus alternatus, Anoplophorus glabripennis, and Morus alba.

[0021] Optimize resource utilization efficiency: Avoid the problem of local overcrowding or oversparseness caused by uneven placement of flower beetles. In the past, when a single or multiple beetles were randomly placed, the survival and reproduction of flower beetles in overcrowded areas would be affected due to fierce competition for food resources, and the biological control effect could not be fully exerted in oversparse areas; the new device ensures that each flower beetle can be reasonably placed where it is needed, so that limited flower beetle resources can be optimally allocated, and the maximum control benefits can be obtained with the least resource investment.

[0022] Greatly reduce the cost of prevention and control: On the one hand, it reduces the need for repeated placement due to unreasonable placement, saving the manpower, material and financial costs of purchasing additional flower beetles and carrying out the placement work again; on the other hand, with the help of drones equipped with this device, large areas of mountains and forests can be quickly covered, especially rugged and steep areas that are difficult to reach manually, reducing labor costs and time costs, and improving the economy and feasibility of the overall prevention and control work.

[0023] Enhance the scientificity and controllability of the release work: The quantitative and uniform release characteristics of the device provide forestry workers with a standardized and quantifiable operating process. By accurately setting the release parameters, the release plan of the flower beetle can be flexibly adjusted according to the severity of insect pests and the distribution of trees in different mountainous forest areas; at the same time, during the release process, workers can monitor the release progress and effect in real time, which is convenient for timely detection and intervention, making biological control work more scientific, controllable and accurate.

[0024] 2. The present invention can leave a gas flow gap during the transfer and delivery of the flower velvet parasite through the coordinated design of the annular shell, the rotating piece and the groove. This design can bring the following benefits: Effectively ensure the survival and activity of flower beetles: During the transfer of flower beetles and the subsequent waiting for release, the air circulation channel formed by the overlapping part of the groove and the maintenance circle continuously provides them with fresh air; this design avoids the situation where the insect body loses vitality or even dies due to lack of oxygen, ensuring that each flower beetle is in a healthy and active state when released, greatly improving the predation ability and survival rate of flower beetles after release, thereby significantly enhancing the biological control effect.

[0025] Improve the stability and reliability of the release work: Stable oxygen supply makes the state of flower beetles more stable during the transfer and release process, reduces the confusion of insects caused by hypoxia stress response, and ensures the normal function of quantitative release. For example, there will be no deviation in the release quantity and uniformity due to the hypoxia struggle of flower beetles, so that the entire release work can be accurately executed according to the preset plan, improving the stability and reliability of the prevention and control work.

[0026] Optimize the delivery process and improve work efficiency: This design not only realizes the basic delivery function, but also takes into account the oxygen demand during the transfer process of the flower beetle. No additional complex equipment or operations are required to solve the oxygen supply problem, which simplifies the delivery process. It reduces the loss and equipment failure caused by dealing with the lack of oxygen problem, thereby improving the overall work efficiency and being able to complete the delivery of flower beetles in large areas of forests in a shorter time.

[0027] Improve the versatility and applicability of the device: This method of auxiliary oxygen supply through component design does not require large-scale modification of the existing delivery device. It only requires slight adjustments to the groove design of the ring shell and the rotating piece. It can be applied to drone delivery devices of different models and specifications, and has good versatility and applicability. Whether in large-scale forestry protection projects or pest control work in small forest areas, it can play its role in ensuring the survival of flower beetles and optimizing delivery work.

[0028] 3. The present invention can bring the following benefits by cooperating the inner wall of the transfer tube with the groove: Ensure the efficiency and smoothness of the delivery process: The groove is precisely adapted to the size of a single flower beetle, and the coordinated operation of the rotating piece and the transfer tube wall fundamentally eliminates the phenomenon of insect attachment. This allows the rotating piece to always remain smooth during the rotation process, avoiding the obstruction of rotation caused by multiple insects clinging, thereby ensuring that the delivery device can operate continuously and stably, greatly improving the delivery efficiency of flower beetles.

[0029] Significantly reduce the maintenance cost of the device: the problem of poor rotation or even blockage of the rotating piece due to insect attachment is reduced, which means that the failure rate of the delivery device is greatly reduced. The frequent cleaning and maintenance work required due to blockage in the past can be reduced, which reduces the cost of manpower, material resources and time, extends the service life of the device, and improves the efficiency of resource utilization.

[0030] Further improve the accuracy of the number of beetles released: Each groove can only accommodate one flower beetle, avoiding the situation where multiple beetles are released at the same time or the number of beetles released is uncertain due to insect attachment. This allows the release process to be carried out strictly in accordance with the preset quantitative standards, ensuring that the distribution of flower beetles in the target area is more uniform and the number is more accurate. For example, in a forest area with serious insect infestation, the appropriate number of flower beetles can be accurately released on each tree or in each area based on the distribution of trees and the degree of insect infestation, so as to more effectively play the role of biological control and improve the control effect.

[0031] 4. The present invention can bring the following benefits to the overall work through the design of multi-range maintenance components: Insect life maintenance: Greatly improve the biological control effect: Stable and sufficient oxygen supply and continuous food supply in the auxiliary cavity under the circular hole plug ensure that the flower beetles always maintain good vitality and health during the release process. After reaching the target area, the energetic flower beetles can more efficiently find and prey on the larvae and pupae of longhorn beetles, greatly improving the ability to control the population density of longhorn beetles, thereby more effectively curbing the rampage of forest trunk borers and effectively maintaining the stability and health of the forest ecosystem.

[0032] Expand the diversity of control areas and optimize the use of biological control resources: ensure the survival ability of flower beetles for a long time and in different environments, so that drones can carry them to more remote and complex mountain forest areas for deployment; greatly expand the coverage of biological control, providing the possibility for comprehensive protection of forest resources; reduce the waste of resources caused by the death or loss of vitality of flower beetles during deployment. In the past, some flower beetles could not function normally due to poor living conditions. Now, through the life maintenance function, each flower beetle can be fully utilized, and the maximum control benefit can be obtained with the least resource investment, which improves the utilization efficiency of biological control resources.

[0033] Maintenance of equipment components: Significantly extend the service life of the device: With effective cleaning and maintenance functions, it can promptly remove the remaining excrement of beetles, debris, and dirt attached due to environmental factors on the device components. These substances will corrode and wear the device components over a long period of time, and regular cleaning and maintenance can maintain the good performance of the components, reduce the frequency of failures, extend the overall service life of the device, and reduce the cost of equipment renewal.

[0034] Greatly improve the reliability of the delivery work: clean device parts can ensure the delivery process goes smoothly. For example, the delivery port will not be blocked by debris, resulting in poor delivery or failure to deliver, and the rotating parts, such as the rotating piece, can operate flexibly to ensure the quantitative and uniform delivery of the flower beetle; this greatly improves the reliability of the entire delivery work, and the control workers can have more confidence in the operation of the device, reducing the interference of the control plan due to device failure.

[0035] 5. The present invention can bring the following benefits to the overall work through the design of auxiliary cavity parts and circular holes: Advantages of multifunctional integration: The auxiliary cavity part also has the function of blocking the temporary storage bin of the insect body, which reduces the setting of independent blocking components in the device and simplifies the device structure. This multifunctional integrated design makes the entire multi-range maintenance component more compact and reasonable, and reduces the complexity and weight of the device. On the one hand, it reduces the load of the drone, which is conducive to more flexible flight of the drone in the mountain forest environment and expands the diversity of the prevention and control area; on the other hand, in actual operation, the prevention and control personnel do not need to operate multiple components separately to complete different functions, which improves work efficiency and saves time costs.

[0036] Collaborative work improves efficiency: The different functions of the auxiliary cavity parts work together. When the flower beetle is transferred, the function of providing food and a stable environment can be closely connected with the subsequent release work, ensuring that the entire process of flower beetle from storage, transfer to release is effectively guaranteed, and comprehensively improving the overall efficiency of the entire multi-range maintenance components and release work.

[0037] Continuous energy supply to ensure the survival of flower beetles: During the transfer process of flower beetles, cotton balls soaked in honey water or nutrients can be stuffed into the circular holes of the auxiliary cavity to provide continuous energy supplement for the flower beetles; this ensures that the flower beetles always maintain good vitality during the long period of transfer and waiting for release, greatly improving the biological control effect.

[0038] Optimize equipment maintenance and enhance cleaning effect: During cleaning, the cavity of the auxiliary cavity can effectively disturb the cleaning water flow under the telescopic action of the electric telescopic rod. This allows the water flow to flush the inside of the device more fully, and can more thoroughly remove the remaining flower beetle excrement, debris and environmental attached dirt on the device components. Compared with traditional simple water flushing, it greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality, significantly extends the service life of the device, and reduces the corrosion and wear of components caused by dirt accumulation.

[0042] The present invention is further described in detail below based on the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] Example: Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown: In order to solve the problems mentioned in the technical solution, the embodiment of the present application provides a device dedicated to the delivery of flower down parasites by drones, including: a main body shell 1, a buckle cover 2, an auxiliary block 3, a filling port 4, and a plugging member 5, wherein the buckle cover 2 is buckled on the main body shell 1, the auxiliary block 3 is fixedly connected to the main body shell 1, and the plugging member 5 blocks the plugging member 5 provided on the main body shell 1, and also includes: a flow divider 401 and an anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component 6 and a multi-range maintenance component 7, wherein the anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component 6 and the multi-range maintenance component 7 are on the same vertical plane; The anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component 6 is used to maintain the transfer of the flower down parasites as a single and uniform transfer and delivery work each time when the flower down parasites are delivered; The anti-adhesion quantitative and uniform delivery component 6 includes a square cavity 601, in which a temporary insect storage bin 602 is symmetrically fixedly connected, a flow divider 401 is fixedly connected to the temporary insect storage bin 602, a transfer pipe 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the temporary insect storage bin 602 and passes through the square cavity 601, a circular shell 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transfer pipe 603, a support body 605 is fixedly connected to one side of the circular shell 604, a driving column 606 is fixedly connected to the middle of the support body 605, a rotating piece 607 is fixedly connected to the driving column 606, and grooves 608 are equidistantly provided on the outer ring of the rotating piece 607, a release pipe 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular shell 604, a delivery port 610 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the main body shell 1, and the release pipe 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the main body shell 1.

[0044] Among them: a switch and a type-c interface are set on the main shell 1. The type-c interface is mainly used to add a photosensitive switch element to connect the front headlight of the DJI T60 agricultural drone, and use the switch button of the headlight of the remote control of the agricultural drone to control the on and off of the device.

[0045] The main body shell 1, the snap-on cover 2, and the auxiliary block 3 form the outer shell of the overall device, on which a tachometer and a release quantity meter are installed; and the core inside the overall device is a circuit controller, which is placed inside the device to connect the external type-c interface, manual switch, device tachometer and release quantity meter; a large-capacity lithium battery is built in to provide it with power energy, and a laser scanning meter is connected inside.

[0046] The filling port 4 is used to provide a channel for filling the flower velvet parasite.

[0047] The anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component 6 is used to maintain the transfer of the flower down parasites as a single and uniform transfer and delivery work each time when the flower down parasites are delivered.

[0048] The temporary insect storage bin 602 is designed to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is beneficial to the transfer and guidance of the flower beetles.

[0049] The temporary insect storage bin 602 is connected to the transfer pipe 603 ; the transfer pipe 603 is connected to the annular shell 604 ; and the release pipe 609 is connected to the annular shell 604 .

[0050] The groove 608 can cooperate with the inner wall of the annular shell 604 to provide a temporary transfer space for the flower down parasite when the flower down parasite is transferred; and the inner surface of the groove 608 is smooth to facilitate the transfer of the flower down parasite.

[0051] The delivery port 610 is used for delivering the flower down parasites.

[0052] For further examples, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 9 As shown: The multi-range maintenance component 7 is used to maintain the stability of the vital signs of the flower beetle during the transfer process, and to ensure the cleaning of the insect excrement and debris on the equipment components after the release. The multi-range maintenance component 7 includes an electric telescopic rod 701 fixed to the top wall of the inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​cover 2, and the snap-fit ​​cover 2 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 702. The sliding grooves 702 are inserted with plug-in electromagnetic columns 703, and the plug-in electromagnetic columns 703 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​cover 2. The four corners of the square cavity 601 are symmetrically fixedly connected with magnets 704, and the square cavity 601 is magnetically attracted to the inner cavity wall of the snap-fit ​​cover 2 through the magnets 704. The bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 701 is fixedly connected with an auxiliary cavity part 705, and a circular hole 706 is opened through the auxiliary cavity part 705, and a maintenance circular opening 707 is opened horizontally through the annular shell 604.

[0053] Among them: the multi-range maintenance component 7 is used to maintain the stability of the vital signs of the flower beetle during the transfer process, and to ensure the cleaning of insect excrement and debris on the equipment parts after the release.

[0054] The sliding groove 702 is used in conjunction with the plug-in electromagnetic column 703 , and the plug-in electromagnetic column 703 can ensure the stable connection between the main shell 1 and the buckle cover 2 .

[0055] The magnet 704 can assist the magnetic attraction and fixation between the square cavity 601 and the snap-fit ​​cover 2 , making it easier to disassemble, replace and clean the square cavity 601 .

[0056] The auxiliary cavity part 705 is a hollow structure. During the transfer process of the flower down parasite, some food or nutrients, such as cotton balls soaked in honey water, can be stuffed into it through the circular hole 706 to replenish the energy of the flower down parasite. In addition, during the cleaning work, the cavity of the auxiliary cavity part 705 can disturb the cleaning water flow under the extension and retraction action of the electric telescopic rod 701.

[0057] The auxiliary cavity part 705 also has the function of sealing the temporary storage bin 602 of the insect body when the flower beetle is released.

[0058] The overlapping portion of the maintenance circular opening 707 and the groove 608 can be used to provide a channel for air circulation, providing air to the flower beetles in the groove 608 during the transfer of the flower beetles, thereby avoiding hypoxia of the flower beetles during the transfer process; and the overlapping portion of the maintenance circular opening 707 and the groove 608 can also provide a channel for water flow during the cleaning process of the equipment, thereby facilitating the transfer of the flower beetle's excrement and debris.

[0059] Everything in the above example works like this: In the initial state: The snap-fit ​​cover 2 is magnetically snapped onto the main body shell 1 by plugging in the electromagnetic column 703 , the filling port 4 is blocked by the blocking member 5 , and the bottom end of the insect temporary storage bin 602 is blocked by the auxiliary cavity member 705 .

[0060] The following is the working process of the anti-adhesion quantitative uniform delivery component 6: when in use, first pull out the sealing piece 5 that blocks the filling port 4 from the filling port 4, and then fill the flower down parasites into the insect temporary storage bin 602 in the square cavity 601 connected to the snap-on cover 2 through the filling port 4. In this process, the diverter 401 plays a diversion role. Furthermore, after the filling is completed, the filling port 4 is blocked again by the sealing piece 5. At this time, there are flower down parasites to be delivered in the insect temporary storage bin 602. When the drone brings the entire device to the delivery area, the electric telescopic rod 701 is controlled to shrink. At this time, the flower down parasites in the insect temporary storage bin 602 will fall into the transfer passage 603 and the groove 608 opened on the rotating plate 607. For further information, please refer to the attached Figure 8 , the driving column 606 drives the rotating plate 607 to start rotating. During this process, the flower and down armor in the groove 608 will be gradually transferred to a position that is no longer in the same vertical line as the transfer tube 603 with the cooperation of the inner wall of the transfer tube 603, thereby completing the initial transfer work. Furthermore, during the rotation of the rotating plate 607, the flower and down armor will gradually approach and eventually exit from the release tube 609 connected to the annular shell 604, and complete the delivery action at the delivery port 610 through its channel.

[0061] Furthermore, through the coordinated design of the annular shell 604, the rotating plate 607, and the groove 608, a gas flow gap can be left during the transfer and release of the flower beetles, effectively ensuring the survival activity of the flower beetles: during the transfer of the flower beetles and the subsequent waiting for release, the air circulation channel formed by the overlapping part of the groove 608 and the maintenance circular mouth 707 continuously provides them with fresh air; this design avoids the situation where the insect body loses vitality or even dies due to lack of oxygen, ensuring that each flower beetle is in a healthy and active state when released, greatly improving the predation ability and survival rate of the flower beetles after release, thereby significantly enhancing the biological control effect.

[0062] Improve the stability and reliability of the release work: Stable oxygen supply makes the state of flower beetles more stable during the transfer and release process, reduces the confusion of insects caused by hypoxia stress response, and ensures the normal function of quantitative release. For example, there will be no deviation in the release quantity and uniformity due to the hypoxia struggle of flower beetles, so that the entire release work can be accurately executed according to the preset plan, improving the stability and reliability of the prevention and control work.

[0063] Optimize the delivery process and improve work efficiency: This design not only realizes the basic delivery function, but also takes into account the oxygen demand during the transfer process of the flower beetle. No additional complex equipment or operations are required to solve the oxygen supply problem, which simplifies the delivery process. It reduces the loss and equipment failure caused by dealing with the lack of oxygen problem, thereby improving the overall work efficiency and being able to complete the delivery of flower beetles in large areas of forests in a shorter time.

[0064] Improve the versatility and applicability of the device: This method of achieving auxiliary oxygen supply through component design does not require large-scale modification of the existing delivery device. It only requires slight adjustments in the design of the groove 608 of the ring shell 604 and the rotating piece 607, and can be applied to drone delivery devices of different models and specifications, with good versatility and applicability. Whether in large-scale forestry protection projects or pest control work in small forest areas, it can play its role in ensuring the survival of flower beetles and optimizing delivery work.

[0065] Furthermore, the cooperation between the inner wall of the transfer tube 603 and the groove 608 can ensure the high efficiency and smoothness of the delivery process: the groove 608, which is precisely adapted to the size of a single flower beetle, cooperates with the coordinated operation of the rotating piece 607 and the wall of the transfer tube 603 to fundamentally prevent the insect body from clinging. This allows the rotating piece 607 to always remain smooth during the rotation process, avoiding the obstruction of rotation caused by multiple insect bodies clinging, thereby ensuring that the delivery device can operate continuously and stably, greatly improving the delivery efficiency of the flower beetles.

[0066] Significantly reduce the maintenance cost of the device: the problem of poor rotation or even blockage of the rotating piece 607 due to insect attachment is reduced, which means that the failure rate of the delivery device is greatly reduced. The frequent cleaning and maintenance work required due to blockage in the past can be reduced, which reduces the cost of manpower, material resources and time, prolongs the service life of the device, and improves the utilization efficiency of resources.

[0067] Further improve the accuracy of the number of beetles released: Each groove 608 can only accommodate one flower beetle, avoiding the situation where multiple beetles are released at the same time or the number of beetles released is uncertain due to insect attachment. This allows the release process to be carried out strictly in accordance with the preset quantitative standards, ensuring that the distribution of flower beetles in the target area is more uniform and the number is more accurate. For example, in a forest area with serious insect infestation, the appropriate number of flower beetles can be accurately released on each tree or in each area according to the distribution of trees and the degree of insect infestation, so as to more effectively play the role of biological control and improve the control effect.

[0068] Please refer to the above working process Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 .

[0069] The following is the working process of the multi-range maintenance component 7: Furthermore, when the device needs to be cleaned and maintained after the flower beetles are released, when the cleaning solution is added to the temporary storage bin 602 of the insect body through the filling port 4, the electric telescopic rod 701 is controlled to carry the auxiliary cavity part 705 to move up and down, and the auxiliary cavity part 705 will disturb the filled water flow to assist in cleaning; further, in this process, the water flow entering the temporary storage bin 602 of the insect body will enter the position of the annular shell 604 and the groove 608 through the transfer tube 603, and continue to flow through the exposed gap space formed by the maintenance circular port 707 opened on the annular shell 604 and the groove 608 on the rotating plate 607, that is, the gap originally used to provide gas can be used as a water flow channel to facilitate the transfer of flower beetle excrement and debris.

[0070] Furthermore, through the design of the auxiliary cavity part 705 and the circular hole 706, it has the advantage of multifunctional integration: the auxiliary cavity part 705 also has the function of blocking the temporary storage bin 602 of the insect body, which reduces the setting of independent blocking components in the device and simplifies the device structure. This multifunctional integrated design makes the entire multi-range maintenance component 7 more compact and reasonable, and reduces the complexity and weight of the device. On the one hand, it reduces the load of the drone, which is conducive to the drone's more flexible flight in the mountain forest environment and expands the diversity of the prevention and control area; on the other hand, in actual operation, the prevention and control personnel do not need to operate multiple components separately to complete different functions, which improves work efficiency and saves time costs.

[0071] Collaborative work improves efficiency: The different functions of the auxiliary cavity part 705 work together. When the flower beetle is transferred, the function of providing food and a stable environment can be closely connected with the subsequent release work, ensuring that the entire process of the flower beetle from storage, transfer to release is effectively guaranteed, and comprehensively improving the overall efficiency of the entire multi-range maintenance component 7 and the release work.

[0072] Continuous energy supply to ensure the survival of flower beetles: During the transfer process of flower beetles, the auxiliary cavity part 705 can be stuffed with cotton balls soaked in honey water or nutrients through the circular hole 706 to provide continuous energy supplement for the flower beetles; this ensures that the flower beetles always maintain good vitality during the long period of transfer and waiting for release, greatly improving the biological control effect.

[0073] Optimize equipment maintenance and enhance cleaning effect: During cleaning, the cavity of the auxiliary cavity part 705 can effectively disturb the cleaning water flow under the telescopic action of the electric telescopic rod 701. This allows the water flow to flush the inside of the device more fully, and can more thoroughly remove the remaining flower beetle excrement, debris and environmental attached dirt on the device components. Compared with the traditional simple water flow flushing, it greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality, significantly extends the service life of the device, and reduces the corrosion and wear of components caused by dirt accumulation.
