Termite control device

Abstract

This invention discloses a termite control device, comprising a shell, a termite-trapping mechanism installed inside the shell, a circuit board mounted on the shell, and a cover mounted on the top of the shell. The termite-trapping mechanism is arranged in a nine-square grid within the control trench. This mechanism attracts and kills termites, and the circuit board monitors the termite activity. Through the design of the termite-trapping mechanism, the invention attracts termites. When termites are attracted to the device and begin to eat it, the mechanism sends a signal to the circuit board, which then controls the mechanism to kill the attracted termites. Throughout the process, workers do not need to dig, reducing labor intensity and ensuring the stable placement of the device during extermination, preventing termites inside and around the device from being startled and fleeing, thus improving the termite control effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of termite control technology, specifically to a termite control device. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are social insects belonging to the order Blattodea. While they share some ecological roles with ants, they differ significantly in classification and biological characteristics. Termites are typically white or pale yellow, with soft bodies and beaded antennae, distinctly different from the "waist" of ants (which belong to the order Hymenoptera). Termite colonies are highly specialized, consisting of worker ants, soldier ants, and reproductive ants (king and queen). They feed on lignocellulose, relying on symbiotic microorganisms in their intestines to help break down the cellulose.

[0003] Termites are well-known construction and agricultural pests: they damage timber by gnawing on wooden structures, furniture, books, etc., causing serious economic losses; they damage agriculture by harming crops (such as sugarcane and trees) and water conservancy facilities (dams); they are highly concealed because their nests are often hidden underground or inside wood, and by the time they are discovered, they have often already caused significant damage, so termite control is necessary.

[0004] There are many types of termite control devices available, but they all primarily focus on attracting and alarming termites. However, termite control should not be limited to monitoring; extermination is a more crucial aspect. Currently, using monitoring devices for termite control requires digging the termites out of the ground after the device alarms, followed by treatment with pesticides. This method involves excavation, which is labor-intensive, and the process can easily scare away termites near and inside the device, ultimately leading to ineffective extermination.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a device that can monitor termites and deliver termite-killing bait without the need for digging equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a termite control device that solves the problem that existing termite control devices can only monitor termites, and subsequent control (extermination) requires further digging and baiting, which can easily cause termites to be startled and flee.

[0048] The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, the invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] The termite control device of this application can be used for termite monitoring, trapping and killing, and of course, it can also be used in other similar application scenarios. The termite control device is described in detail below.

[0050] See appendix Figure 1 — Figure 18The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of a termite control device according to this application. The termite control device includes a housing 1, a baiting mechanism 2 installed inside the housing 1, a circuit board 3 installed on the housing 1, and a cover 4 installed on the top of the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a soil-breaking section 11, a control section 12 disposed on the soil-breaking section 11, and a mounting section 13 disposed on the control section 12. The control section 12 has a control groove 121 and a connecting groove 122. The control groove 121 is located at the center of the control section 12, and the connecting groove 122 is located on the side wall of the control section 12, used to connect the control groove 121 to the outside. The installation part 13 is provided with an installation groove 131 that communicates with the prevention and control groove 121; the baiting and killing mechanism 2 is arranged in a nine-square grid structure in the prevention and control groove 121. The baiting and killing mechanism 2 can attract and kill termites, and can monitor termites in conjunction with the circuit board 3; the circuit board 3 is installed in the installation groove 131 and is connected to the baiting and killing mechanism 2; the baiting and killing mechanism 2 attracts termites, and when termites are attracted to the vicinity, the baiting and killing mechanism 2, in conjunction with the circuit board 3, detects the presence of termites, and the circuit board 3 controls the baiting and killing mechanism 2 to kill the termites.

[0051] The present invention utilizes a ground-breaking section 11, which is cone-shaped, to facilitate the burial of the device underground. A prevention and control section 12, in conjunction with a prevention and control groove 121, provides an installation location for the baiting and killing mechanism 2. A connecting groove 122 ensures that the baiting and killing mechanism 2, located within the prevention and control groove 121, is connected to the outside, allowing external termites to contact it. An installation groove 131 provides installation conditions for the circuit board 3. A cover 4 protects the top of the outer casing 1 from direct rainwater contact with the circuit board 3. By arranging the baiting and killing mechanism 2 in a nine-square grid, the system is divided into precise zones for attracting, monitoring, and killing. This allows for precise replacement of any structures that malfunction or are damaged by termites, reducing termite control costs.

[0052] See appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this invention, the trapping mechanism 2 includes a mounting base plate 21, a connecting column 22 mounted on the mounting base plate 21, a top plate 23 movably mounted on the connecting column 22, and multiple attracting elements 24, monitoring elements 25, and killing elements 26 arranged around the connecting column 22; wherein, the attracting element 24 is made of wood, the monitoring element 25 is used to monitor termites, the killing element 26 is used to kill termites, and the monitoring element 25 and the killing element 26 are arranged between adjacent attracting elements 24.

[0053] This invention, through the installation of the base plate 21, in conjunction with the connecting column 22 and the top plate 23, provides installation for the attractant 24, the monitoring component 25, and the killing component 26. When assembling after or before termite extermination, the attractant 24, the monitoring component 25, and the killing component 26 can be installed or disassembled as a whole, improving installation and disassembly efficiency. The attractant 24 is used to lure termites, causing nearby termites to discover the device and be killed. The monitoring component 25 is used to monitor the presence of nearby termites. The killing component 26 is used to kill termites. It should be noted that the attractant 24 is made of wood, a material favored by termites, ensuring effective termite attraction.

[0054] See appendix Figure 6 — Figure 9 As shown, in this invention, the mounting base plate 21 is provided with a placement groove 211, and the bottom surface of the top plate 23 is provided with a slot 231. The attractant 24, the monitoring element 25 and the killing element 26 are located in the placement groove 211 and the slot 231; the monitoring element 25 and the killing element 26 are alternately arranged between adjacent attractants 24.

[0055] The present invention uses the placement slot 211 and the card slot 231 to place the attractant 24, the monitoring component 25 and the killing component 26, to prevent the attractant 24, the monitoring component 25 and the killing component 26 from shifting during use, and to facilitate installation; by staggering the monitoring component 25 and the killing component 26, the killing component 26 is prevented from killing termites near the monitoring component 25, thus reducing the impact on the monitoring accuracy of the monitoring component 25.

[0056] See appendix Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this invention, the top of the connecting column 22 is provided with a mounting platform 221, on which a first magnet 222 is mounted; an iron block 232 corresponding to the first magnet 222 is mounted on the top plate 23; wherein, the connecting column 22 is provided with a through groove 223, and the connecting column 22 is provided with air outlet holes 224 connected to the through groove 223 at equal intervals. It should be noted that protective nets can be installed at the opening of the through groove 223 and the opening of the air outlet hole 224 to isolate the through groove 223 and the air outlet hole 224, preventing termites from entering the through groove 223 and the air outlet hole 224 and affecting the ventilation effect.

[0057] The present invention provides an installation position for the first magnet 222 by setting up the mounting platform 221; the iron block 232, together with the first magnet 222, can fix the top plate 23, ensuring that the top plate 23 will not move up or down at will, and facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the attractant 24, the monitoring element 25 and the killing element 26; the through slot 223 and the air outlet 224 allow air from the ground to flow in and spread the odor of the attractant 24, improving the attraction effect of the attractant and increasing the ventilation effect in the device, reducing the probability of mold growth on the attractant 24, the monitoring element 25 and the killing element 26.

[0058] See appendix Figure 10 — Figure 12 As shown, in this invention, the monitoring component 25 includes a base box 250, a support plate 251 installed inside the base box 250, a monitoring sleeve 252 installed on the support plate 251, a hollow support tube 253 installed at the center of the base box 250, a monitoring cover 254 installed on the top of the hollow support tube 253, a sensor assembly 255 installed on the monitoring cover 254, an inner sleeve 256 installed on the support plate 251, a carrier 257 filling the space between the inner sleeve 256 and the monitoring sleeve 252, a second magnet 258 placed on the carrier 257, and an abutment post 259 installed inside the hollow support tube 253 that contacts the sensor assembly 255.

[0059] This invention, through the setting of the monitoring sleeve 252, in conjunction with the inner sleeve 256, forms a cavity that can accommodate the carrier 257, allowing the carrier 257 to be stored. It should be noted that the monitoring sleeve 252 is made of wood, which termites will gnaw at, causing it to penetrate both inside and out. The carrier 257 can be dry sand or quartz sand, ensuring that after the termites have gnawed through the monitoring sleeve 252, the carrier 257 can flow out, allowing the second magnet 258 on the carrier 257 to descend. In conjunction with the Hall magnetic switch 2552 in the sensor assembly 255, changes in the second magnet can be quickly and accurately sensed to monitor termites. The hollow support tube 25... The structure 3 is used to support the monitoring cover 254, and its hollow design provides installation space for the abutment post 259. The monitoring cover 254 provides an installation position for the sensor assembly 255. The inner sleeve 256 is used to determine the number of termites. The inner sleeve 256 is fitted onto the hollow support tube 253, and it is made of wood, a material that termites prefer, with a fixed weight. By monitoring the weight of the inner sleeve 256, the speed at which termites gnaw on it can be determined, thereby determining the number of termites. The abutment post 259 is used to ground the sensor assembly 255, allowing for monitoring of the mass of the inner sleeve 256.

[0060] See appendix Figure 10 — Figure 12 As shown, in this invention, a support spring 2501 is installed inside the bottom box 250. One end of the support spring 2501 is in contact with the bottom surface of the support plate 251, and the other end is in contact with the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the bottom box 250. The monitoring cover 254 is provided with an installation hole 2541 at the center position, which is connected to the hollow support tube 253 by threads or bolts.

[0061] The present invention uses a support spring 2501 to support the support plate 251 and provide elastic force to the support plate 251. The elastic force of the support spring 2501 acts on the support plate 251, and the support plate 251 transmits the force to the abutment post 259. The sensor group 255 monitors the change of this elastic force. The weight of the inner sleeve 256 partially offsets the elastic force. As the inner sleeve 256 is chewed, the pressure on the pressure sensor 2551 in the sensor group 255 increases, thereby determining the chewing condition of the inner sleeve 256. The mounting hole 2541 is provided to provide mounting conditions for the pressure sensor 2551.

[0062] See appendix Figure 11 As shown, in this invention, the sensor group 255 includes a pressure sensor 2551 installed in the mounting hole 2541 and in contact with the abutment post 259, and a Hall magnetic switch 2552 installed in the monitoring cover 254 and corresponding to the second magnet 258.

[0063] The present invention uses a pressure sensor 2551 to abut against the abutment post 259 to monitor the weight change of the inner sleeve 256; and uses a Hall magnetic switch 2552 to correspond to the second magnet 258. When the second magnet 258 moves, the Hall magnetic switch 2552 will receive a signal of magnetic force change, thereby monitoring the presence of termites.

[0064] See appendix Figure 10 — Figure 12 As shown, in this invention, the hollow support tube 253 is provided with a through groove 2531, and a connecting plate 2532 connected to the support plate 251 is installed in the through groove 2531. The abutment post 259 is installed on the connecting plate 2532, and the connecting plate 2532 can move up and down in the through groove 2531.

[0065] The present invention provides an installation position for the connecting plate 2532 by setting the through slot 2531, so that the abutting post 259 can be connected to the support plate 251 through the connecting plate 2532, so that the elastic force of the support spring 2501 on the support plate 251 can act on the abutting post 259.

[0066] See appendix Figure 6 and Figure 13As shown, in this invention, the top plate 23 is provided with a delivery port 233 corresponding to the termite extermination component 26, through which the termite extermination component 26 can be taken out and put in. By providing the delivery port 233, this invention allows for the replenishment or replacement of the termite extermination bait 264 in the termite extermination component 26 without digging into the termite control device, thus avoiding disturbing the termites and ensuring the termite extermination effect.

[0067] See appendix Figure 13 — Figure 18 As shown, in this invention, the extermination component 26 includes a delivery plate 261, a placement plate 262 mounted on the delivery plate 261, an extermination box 263 mounted on the placement plate 262, an extermination bait block 264 installed inside the extermination box 263, a drying structure 265 mounted on the extermination box 263, a sealing cover 266 mounted on the extermination box 263, a control structure 267 mounted on the delivery plate 261, and a mating structure 268 corresponding to the control structure 267 mounted on the sealing cover 266.

[0068] The present invention, through the setting of the delivery plate 261, facilitates the removal or placement of the entire extermination component 26 from the delivery port 233 by the staff, and facilitates the placement or replacement of the extermination bait 264; through the setting of the extermination box 263, it is used for placing the extermination bait 264 and defines the position of the extermination bait 264 on the placement plate 262; through the setting of the extermination bait 264, it is used for termite extermination. It should be noted that the extermination bait 264 is prior art, so it will not be described in detail here; through the setting of the drying structure 265, it is used to keep the area around the extermination bait 264 dry, preventing the environment in which the extermination bait 264 is located from being too humid, which would cause the extermination bait 264 to mold; through the setting of the sealing cover 266, it further reduces the amount of extermination bait. The exchange of air between the environment where 264 is located and the outside reduces the probability of the killing bait 264 becoming moldy and prevents the killing bait 264 from killing termites first during the attraction and monitoring stages, which could lead to inaccurate test results. The structure 268 is used to remove and place the sealing cover 266. When termite extermination is needed, the sealing cover 266 is opened to allow termites to come into contact with the killing bait 264. When the killing bait 264 needs to be replaced, the sealing cover 266 is resealed. It should be noted that if the cover cannot be resealed, it indicates that the killing bait 264 in the extermination box 263 has not been eaten to the specified extent by termites, meaning that termites have been completely exterminated or have sensed danger, and the location of the control device needs to be moved.

[0069] See appendix Figure 13 — Figure 16As shown, in this invention, the delivery plate 261 is disposed through the delivery port 233; the drying structure 265 includes a drying groove 2651 disposed on the sterilization box 263, water-absorbing silica gel particles 2652 installed in the drying groove 2651, a vent hole 2653 disposed on the inner wall of the sterilization box 263 and communicating with the drying groove 2651, and a sealing frame 2654 installed at the opening of the drying groove 2651. It should be noted that the particle size of the water-absorbing silica gel particles 2652 is larger than the pore size of the vent hole 2653.

[0070] This invention, through the feeding plate 261 penetrating the feeding port 233, facilitates the replacement of the termite-killing bait block 264 by the operator; the drying tank 2651 provides installation conditions for the water-absorbing silica gel granules 2652; the water-absorbing silica gel granules 2652 maintain the dryness of the environment where the termite-killing bait block 264 is located, prolonging the storage time of the termite-killing bait block 264, reducing the probability of mold growth, and ensuring the termite-killing effect; the use of water-absorbing silica gel granules 2652, compared with other drying methods... The desiccant, using water-absorbing silica gel granules 2652, will not affect termites, thus avoiding any impact on the killing effect of the bait block 264. The vent holes 2653 ensure that the space containing the water-absorbing silica gel granules 2652 and the bait block 264 is connected, allowing the silica gel granules 2652 to absorb water. The sealing frame 2654 seals the opening of the drying tank 2651, ensuring that the water absorbed by the silica gel granules 2652 within the drying tank 2651 flows into the killing box 263.

[0071] See appendix Figure 13 — Figure 17 As shown, in this invention, the control structure 267 includes a lifting groove 2670 disposed on the feeding plate 261, a lifting plate 2671 installed in the lifting groove 2670, lifting connecting plates 2672 equally spaced on the lifting plate 2671, a return spring 2673 installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 2671, an electromagnet 2674 installed at the opening of the lifting groove 2670, a first permanent magnet 2675 corresponding to the electromagnet 2674 installed at the top of the lifting plate 2671, a second connecting post 2676 installed on the lifting connecting plate 2672, a guide surface 2677 disposed at the bottom of the second connecting post 2676, and a control groove 2678 disposed on the second connecting post 2676. It should be noted that in this application, a spring damper connected to the lifting plate 2671 can be installed at the bottom of the lifting groove 2670 to reduce the impact force generated during reset; simply put, it is installed in parallel with the return spring 2673.

[0072] The present invention provides the necessary conditions for the lifting plate 2671 through the setting of the lifting groove 2670, ensuring that the lifting plate 2671 can move up and down; the setting of the lifting connecting plate 2672 is used to control the opening and closing of the sealing cover 266; the setting of the return spring 2673 is used to provide the return force of the lifting plate 2671, so that the lifting plate 2671 can be reset, driving the lifting connecting plate 2672 to be reset, ensuring that the sealing cover 266 can be opened; the setting of the electromagnet 2674, in conjunction with the setting of the first permanent magnet 2675, provides the descent force of the lifting plate 2671, that is, the power supply used by the electromagnet 2674 is DC, and the magnetic field generated is like poles and repulsive to the magnetic field of the first permanent magnet 2675. The repulsive force pushes the lifting plate 2671 down to compress the return spring 2673; the setting of the connecting column 2676, in conjunction with the guide surface 2677 and the control groove 2678 and the mating structure 268, connects the sealing cover 266.

[0073] See appendix Figure 13 — Figure 18 As shown, in this invention, the mating structure 268 includes a mating hole 2680 on the sealing cover 266 corresponding to the connecting post 2676, a mating movable groove 2681 installed on the sealing cover 266 and communicating with the mating hole 2680, a mating component 2682 movably installed in the mating movable groove 2681, a fixed magnet 2683 installed at the bottom of the mating movable groove 2681, a mating magnet 2684 installed on the mating component 2682 corresponding to the fixed magnet 2683, and a variable post 2685 installed at the bottom of the mating component 2682 by threads and penetrating the bottom of the sealing cover 266.

[0074] This invention utilizes the mating hole 2680 to mate with the connecting post 2676, allowing the mating part 2682 to engage with the control groove 2678. The mating groove 2681 allows the mating part 2682 to move vertically and horizontally. It should be noted that the height of the mating part 2682 is no greater than half the height of the mating groove 2681. The fixed magnet 2683 and mating magnet 2684, along with their magnetic attraction and repulsion, control the horizontal movement of the mating part 2682. It should be noted that the fixed magnet 2683 has opposite magnetic poles at its top and bottom within the mating groove 2681; that is, the fixed magnet 2683 is positioned closer to the mating groove 2681. The magnetic pole at one end of the top surface is opposite to the magnetic pole at the end near the bottom surface of the mating movable groove 2681, while the magnetic pole of the mating magnet 2684 facing the fixed magnet 2683 is the same. When the mating part 2682 contacts the top of the mating movable groove 2681, the magnetic poles of the mating magnet 2684 and the fixed magnet 2683 are the same and repel each other, causing the mating part 2682 to extend. When the mating part 2682 contacts the bottom of the mating movable groove 2681, the magnetic poles of the mating magnet 2684 and the fixed magnet 2683 are different and attract each other, causing the mating part 2682 to retract. By setting the variable column 2685, the opening and sealing of the sealing cover 266 can be controlled according to the height of the killing bait block 264.

[0075] See appendix Figure 16 — Figure 18 As shown, in this invention, the mating component 2682 includes a mating housing disposed in a T-shaped groove, a T-shaped telescopic block movably installed in the T-shaped groove, and a mating magnet 2684 installed on the T-shaped telescopic block. The mating magnet 2684 can move along the T-shaped groove, and one end of the T-shaped telescopic block corresponding to the control groove 2678.

[0076] See appendix Figure 3 As shown, in this invention, the circuit board 3 is equipped with a battery for providing power, an antenna for transmitting signals, and a chip for performing data processing and analysis.

[0077] See appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this invention, the cover 4 is provided with a groove 41 corresponding to the mounting part 13. A sealing ring 42 is installed in the groove 41. An air inlet 43 is installed at the center of the cover 4. A waterproof boss 44 is installed at the opening of the air inlet 43. A support column 45 is installed on the waterproof boss 44. A rain cover 46 is installed on the top of the support column 45. An air guide block 47 is provided at the bottom of the rain cover 46. An air guide groove 48 is provided on the air guide block 47.

[0078] The present invention utilizes the groove 41 to cooperate with the top of the mounting part 13 to cover the outer shell 1 and protect the circuit board 3. The sealing ring 42 increases the friction between the groove 41 and the outer wall of the mounting part 13, preventing the cover 4 from falling off. The air inlet 43 allows external air to enter the device, diffusing the scent of the attractant 24 and improving the attraction effect. The waterproof protrusion 44 prevents rainwater from entering the device through the air inlet 43. The rain cover 46 prevents rainwater from directly entering the device through the air inlet 43. The air guide block 47 and air guide groove 48 guide the external air, enhancing ventilation, increasing the diffusion range of the scent of the attractant 24, and improving the attraction effect.

[0079] See appendix Figure 1 — Figure 18 As shown, the usage process of this invention is as follows: First, the entire termite control device is assembled and installed in the designated location. Termites are attracted by the scent of the attractant 24. When the termites are attracted by the attractant 24, since both the attractant 24 and the monitoring sleeve 252 in the monitoring device 25 are made of the same wood, they will gnaw on the monitoring sleeve 252, creating a through hole. The carrier 257 inside the monitoring sleeve 252 will flow out through this hole. When the carrier 257 flows out, the second magnet 258 at the top of the carrier 257 will descend. The Hall effect magnetic switch 2552 senses the movement of the second magnet 258 and sends a signal to the chip in the circuit board 3. After a specified time, the chip connects the battery and the pressure sensor 255 via a switch. The circuit 1 causes pressure sensor 2551 to sense the pressure exerted by the contact post 259 on pressure sensor 2551. When the sensed pressure exceeds a set specified pressure, the pressure is cleared, and the circuit of pressure sensor 2551 is disconnected. After a specified time, the circuit of pressure sensor 2551 is reconnected, and the sensed pressure is judged. This process continues until the sensed pressure is less than the specified pressure. At this point, the sensed pressure is transmitted to the control terminal via the antenna for recording. Then, the circuit of pressure sensor 2551 is disconnected, and after a specified time, the circuit is reconnected, and the pressure value is recorded and transmitted again. This process is repeated a set number of times before pressure sensor 2551 is disconnected. Simultaneously, electromagnet 2674 is energized, causing electromagnet 2674 to generate a magnetic field. The field and the first permanent magnet 2675 repel each other due to their similar poles. This repulsive force pushes the lifting plate 2671 to compress the return spring 2673. The lifting plate 2671 then drives the lifting connecting plate 2672 to descend, causing the connecting post 2676 on the lifting connecting plate 2672 to descend and insert into the mating hole 2680 on the sealing cover 266. Since the extermination box 263 contains extermination bait 264, the changing post 2685 abuts against the extermination bait 264, causing the mating part 2682 to be located at the top of the mating movable groove 2681. The mating part 2682 is in an extended state, but the guide surface 2677 on the connecting post 2676 guides the mating part 2682, causing it to overcome a certain repulsive force and retract. When the connecting post 2676 moves to the designated position... After positioning, the mating part 2682 is inserted into the control slot 2678. Subsequently, the chip controls the electromagnet 2674 to be de-energized, the reset spring 2673 pushes the lifting plate 2671 to reset, and the connecting column 2676 drives the sealing cover 266 to rise, allowing termites to gnaw on the killing bait 264, which kills the termites. The staff at the control terminal can estimate the number of termites by receiving the pressure change value from the pressure sensor 2551, thereby determining whether the killing bait 264 in the control device needs to be replenished. This allows for estimation of the number of killing bait 264 needed next time, improving the accuracy of the use of the killing bait 264, reducing the environmental pollution caused by the killing bait 264, and lowering costs.When replacing the bait block 264, the staff needs to remove the cover 4. Then, the staff connects to the circuit board 3 and sends a signal, which controls the electromagnet 2674 to be energized again. At this time, because the bait block 264 inside the extermination box 263 has been eaten, the height of the bait block 264 decreases. When the connecting post 2676 descends to the same designated position, the changing post 2685 is no longer restricted by the bait block 264. At this time, the mating magnet 2684 on the mating part 2682 is magnetically attracted by the fixed magnet 2683, causing the mating part 2682 to retract and separate from the control groove 2678, thus separating the connecting post 2676 from the sealing cover 266 and completing the reset of the sealing cover 266. Then, the staff removes the extermination component 26 through the delivery port 233. Of course, some of the bait blocks 2674 remain. When the bait block 264 is in contact with the change column 2685, the staff can directly observe the area after removing the bait component 26 without detailed inspection, thus accurately determining whether the bait block 264 needs to be replenished. If replenishment is needed, the entire bait box 263 and sealing cover 266 are removed, and a new bait box 263 with the sealing cover 266 is installed. This ensures that the staff does not need to directly contact the bait block 264 during the entire replacement process, thereby protecting the staff's health and avoiding any harm to their health from the bait block 264. It should be noted that if a bait box 263 containing bait block 264 needs to be replaced, the sealing cover 266 can be manually pushed off and placed in conjunction with the original bait box 263 for replacement.

[0080] The above embodiments are illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any simple modifications to this application are within the protection scope of this application.
