Detailed Description of the Invention

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-2, the present invention provides a Pomacea canaliculata monitoring and trapping device, which integrates multiple functions such as solar power supply, automatic lifting, photo recognition, and worm scraping and collection, aiming to achieve efficient and intelligent monitoring and collection of Pomacea canaliculata. The following are the specific implementation manners of the present invention, which elaborate on the structures and working principles of each component in detail.

[0022] First of all, the Pomacea canaliculata monitoring and trapping device of the present invention mainly consists of a solar panel 1, a chute 2, a bottom plate 6, a chassis 11, a camera 35, a lifting component, a worm scraping component, a worm cleaning and photo-taking platform 4, a worm collection box 17, etc. Among them, the solar panel 1 is arranged at the top of the device to provide green and sustainable electric energy for the entire device. The chute 2 is arranged at the bottom of the solar panel 1 and serves as the movement track for the lifting component and the worm cleaning and photo-taking platform 4. The bottom plate 6 is fixed at the bottom end of the chute 2 to play a role in supporting the entire device.

[0023] The chassis 11 is arranged between the solar panel 1 and the chute 2, and key components such as a control system, a camera 35, and a first motor 31 are installed inside. The camera 35 is arranged at the top of the chassis 11 to be used for taking real-time photos of the Pomacea canaliculata attracted to the worm cleaning and photo-taking platform 4 for subsequent identification and counting. The lifting component is installed inside the chassis 11 and is used to drive the worm cleaning and photo-taking platform 4 to move up and down along the chute 2 to achieve photo-taking and worm scraping operations at different heights.

[0024] Refer to Figures 4-6 , the specific structure of the lifting component includes a first motor 31, a winch 9, a steel wire rope 20, a connecting shaft 8, a first bearing 12, a winch bracket 10, etc. The first motor 31 is connected to the winch 9 through the connecting shaft 8 to drive the winch 9 to rotate forward and backward. The steel wire rope 20 is wound around the winch 9, and the other end of the steel wire rope 20 is connected to the worm cleaning and photo-taking platform 4. When the first motor 31 is started, it will drive the winch 9 to rotate, thereby pulling the steel wire rope 20 to take in and release, so as to drive the worm cleaning and photo-taking platform 4 to move up and down along the chute 2. In order to enhance the rotation stability of the winch 9, both ends of the winch 9 are also arranged on the winch bracket 10 through the first bearing 12.

[0025] In addition, the lifting assembly further includes a guide rail 21 disposed in the chute 2 and a platform bracket 22 disposed at the rear end of the snail-removing photographing platform 4. The platform bracket 22 slides up and down along the guide rail 21 through pulleys 24, further enhancing the stability and smoothness of the snail-removing photographing platform 4 during the lifting process. In order to accurately control the lifting position of the snail-removing photographing platform 4, a first travel switch 33 and a second travel switch 34 are also provided near the guide rail 21 on the inner side of the chute 2. The first travel switch 33 is used to control the start and stop of the lifting assembly and the camera 35, ensuring that the snail-removing photographing platform 4 can accurately perform the photographing operation when it reaches the preset position. The second travel switch 34 is used to control the start and stop of the snail-scraping assembly, ensuring that the apple snails can be scraped in time and collected into the snail collection box 17 when the snail-removing photographing platform 4 rises to the top.

[0026] Referring to Figure 3 , the specific structure of the snail-scraping assembly includes a second motor 32, a lead screw 14, a second bearing 16, a snail-scraping plate 3, etc. The second motor 32 is fixedly installed on the chute 2, and the lead screw 14 is installed on its rotor. The lead screw 14 is provided with a second bearing 16, and the second bearing 16 is connected to the snail-scraping plate 3. When the second motor 32 is started, it will drive the lead screw 14 to rotate, and then drive the second bearing 16 and the snail-scraping plate 3 to move horizontally along the lead screw 14. In order to enhance the stability of the movement of the snail-scraping plate 3, a guide rail 13 is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the chassis 11, and the snail-scraping plate 3 moves along the guide rail 13. At the same time, a lead screw mounting bracket 15 is also provided at the side end of the bottom of the chassis 11 for supporting and fixing the lead screw 14.

[0027] A bait box 18 is provided at the top of the snail-removing photographing platform 4 for placing apple snail attractant to attract apple snails to come foraging. The bait box 18 is fixedly welded to the snail-removing photographing platform 4, and the box cover is fixed to the bait box 18 by screws to ensure that the bait can be stably placed in the bait box 18 and effectively attract apple snails. When the apple snails are attracted by the bait to the snail-removing photographing platform 4, the camera 35 will capture their images in real time and transmit them to the control system for processing and identification.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, the working process of the apple snail monitoring and trapping device of the present invention is as follows: First, start the solar panel 1 to supply power to the entire device. Then, start the first motor 31 to drive the winch 9 to rotate, and then pull the steel wire rope 20 to drive the snail-removing photographing platform 4 to rise along the chute 2. During the rising process of the snail-removing photographing platform 4, the apple snail attractant in the bait box 18 will attract apple snails to come foraging. When the snail-removing photographing platform 4 rises to the position of the second travel switch 34, the second travel switch 34 will trigger the control system to turn off the first motor 31 and start the camera 35 to perform the photographing operation. The camera 35 will capture the images of the apple snails on the snail-removing photographing platform 4 in real time and transmit them to the control system for processing and identification, so as to realize the counting and monitoring of apple snails.

[0029] After the photographing operation is completed, the control system will control the first motor 31 to continue driving the snail-removing and photographing platform 4 to rise to the position of the first travel switch 33 and stop. At this time, the second motor 32 is started to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate, thereby driving the worm scraping plate 3 to move horizontally above the snail-removing and photographing platform 4 along the guide rail 13. During the movement of the worm scraping plate 3, the apple snails on the snail-removing and photographing platform 4 will be scraped to the insect collection port 19 and fall into the insect collection box 17 for collection. After the snail scraping operation is completed, the control system will control the second motor 32 to reverse and drive the lead screw 14 to reverse, resetting the worm scraping plate 3 to its initial position. Then, the control system controls the first motor 31 to reverse and drive the winch 9 to reverse and release the steel wire rope 20, so that the snail-removing and photographing platform 4 descends along the chute 2 to the initial position to complete the reset operation. Thus, the apple snail monitoring and trapping device of the present invention has completed a complete monitoring and collection process.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, the apple snail monitoring and trapping device of the present invention also has the following advantages: High efficiency and energy saving: This device uses the solar panel 1 as the only power source, realizing green and sustainable energy utilization.

[0031] High degree of intelligence: This device integrates intelligent components such as the camera 35 and the control system, realizing the functions of automatic identification and counting of apple snails. At the same time, through the control logic such as the preset travel switch, the precise control of the lifting assembly and the worm scraping assembly is realized, improving the automation degree and the intelligent level of the whole device.

[0032] Strong adaptability: The components such as the chute 2 and the guide rail 21 of this device are reasonably designed and can meet the requirements of different terrains and installation environments. At the same time, components such as the bait box 18 and the insect collection box 17 can also be replaced or adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different types of apple snails or monitoring requirements.

[0033] Simple operation: The operation process of this device is simple and clear. The user only needs to follow the preset operation steps to achieve the efficient monitoring and collection of apple snails. At the same time, the whole device has a compact structure, occupies a small area, is convenient to carry and transport, and is suitable for use requirements in various outdoor or indoor environments.

[0034] Environmental protection and pollution-free: This device uses physical methods to realize the monitoring and collection of apple snails. No chemical agents or pesticides are required during the process, so it will not cause pollution or damage to the environment and the ecosystem, meeting the current environmental protection and sustainable development concepts.

[0035] In summary, the Pomacea canaliculata monitoring and trapping device of the present invention has various advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, high intelligence, strong adaptability, simple operation, environmental protection and no pollution.
