Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tobacco beetle trapping, in particular to a trapping device for automatically monitoring tobacco beetles in a cigarette factory. Background Art

[0002] The tobacco beetle, also known as the tobacco worm or tobacco beetle, is a small beetle belonging to the order Coleoptera, family Nicotiana. It is generally considered a pest, especially common in tobacco, hay, spices and other dry plant materials. The adult tobacco beetle is usually 3 to 4 mm long, oval in shape, and yellowish brown or light brown in color. The adult's wings are relatively thin and incomplete, making it look very small. Tobacco beetles are typical scavengers that like to eat dry plant materials, especially tobacco, spices, grains, tea, etc. They can feed on stems, leaves, seeds and other parts of the plant, and are particularly interested in tobacco, so they are common in tobacco warehouses or tobacco products. Female tobacco beetles lay eggs in suitable plant materials, and can lay dozens of eggs each time. The eggs usually hatch into larvae and live in the plant materials. As the larvae grow, they burrow into their food, eventually forming pupae and metamorphosing into adults. Tobacco beetles are active at night, hiding in food sources during the day. They are highly adaptable to their environments, able to survive storage and transportation, and are highly tolerant of lower temperatures. Tobacco beetles are primarily pests, causing economic losses to stored commodities such as tobacco and spices. Their larvae chew and burrow into plant materials, degrading or even destroying the product. They can also contaminate items, rendering food or tobacco unfit for consumption or use. Therefore, effective tobacco beetle management is a key measure for the tobacco industry to ensure product quality and reduce economic losses.

[0003] Currently, tobacco beetle eradication in factories primarily relies on trapping. Existing tobacco beetle trapping devices significantly reduce their effectiveness after capturing a certain number of beetles, necessitating cleaning. This requires disassembling the entire device for cleaning, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Furthermore, after the entire device is removed, the trapping mechanism may be lost, leaving beetles vulnerable to clinging to tobacco and consuming it, causing damage. Therefore, a tobacco beetle trapping device that eliminates the need for disassembling the entire device and allows for quick cleaning is urgently needed to address these technical issues.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a trapping device for automatically monitoring tobacco beetles in a cigarette factory includes a shell 1 and a top cover 15. The bottom end of the top cover 15 is connected to an ultraviolet lamp 16 via an electric wire. The shell 1 has inlets on all four sides. A scraper 2 is movably installed inside the shell 1. The scraper 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the ultraviolet lamp 16. Both ends of the scraper 2 are fixedly connected to a pull rod 4 through a connecting block 3. The pull rod 4 is located inside a through groove opened on both sides of the shell 1, and a reset spring 5 is sleeved on the outer wall. A cleaning box 6 is detachably installed at the bottom end of the shell 1. The bottom end of the pull rod 4 is fixedly connected to a pull rope 7. The pull rope 7 movably passes through both sides of the cleaning box 6. The present invention provides a detachable cleaning box 6 at the bottom end of the shell 1, and provides a pull rod 4 that can move up and down inside the shell 1, which drives the connected scraper 2 to move inside the shell 1, and drives the trapped beetles inside the shell 1 to the inside of the cleaning box 6 at the lower part, and then adheres to the beetles through the sticky insect board 14 inside the cleaning box 6, and then the cleaning box 6 is removed and the sticky insect board 14 inside is removed to complete the cleaning. This structure can realize the rapid cleaning of the trapping device, which is time-saving and efficient. There is no need to remove the entire device, and no time gap for trapping will be formed, thereby ensuring the trapping effect of the device.

[0025] In some embodiments, the shell 1 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and connecting rods 8 are fixedly installed on the four outer walls for supporting the connecting long rod 9. The connecting rod 8 is L-shaped, and the long rod 9 is movably installed through the top. The long rod 9 can move freely at the top of the connecting rod 8. A mesh plate 10 is fixedly installed at the front end of the long rod 9. The mesh plate 10 is used to prevent the trapped beetles from escaping from the entrance of the shell 1. At the same time, the mesh holes on the mesh plate 10 play a light-transmitting role to avoid blocking the ultraviolet lamp 16 inside the shell 1 and affecting the trapping effect. The size of the mesh plate 10 is set to the same size as the entrances opened on the four sides of the shell 1 and is located inside the shell 1. This structure can move to the entrance to close the entrance when the scraper 2 moves downward to drive away the beetles, thereby preventing the beetles from escaping and avoiding movement interference with the scraper 2.

[0026] In some embodiments, a sliding groove is provided between the through groove and the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and the sliding groove can provide moving space for the connecting block 3, and the through groove is arranged diagonally inside the outer shell 1, so that it is convenient to pull the pull rod 4 downward to drive the scraper 2 to move. The connecting block 3 is located inside the sliding groove and moves up and down. The reset spring 5 is located between the connecting block 3 and the inside of the cleaning box 6. The function of the reset spring 5 is to be able to reset the pull rod 4 by releasing the pull rod 4 after it is pulled down, and there is no need to manually reset the pull rod 4.

[0027] In some embodiments, the inner walls on both sides of the cleaning box 6 are provided with a second slide groove 11 with the same slide groove position. The second slide groove 11 can accommodate the movement of the pull rod 4 and the connecting block 3. Its function is to extend the moving length of the connecting block 3, facilitate the scraper 2 to move to the inside of the cleaning box 6, and drive the beetles onto the sticky insect board 14.

[0028] In some embodiments, an insertion rod 12 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the top surface of the cleaning box 6, and a slot is provided on the bottom surface of the shell 1 corresponding to the position of the insertion rod 12. The cooperation between the insertion rod 12 and the slot can connect the shell 1 and the cleaning box 6. Positioning holes are provided on both sides of the shell 1 corresponding to the position of the insertion rod 12, and a positioning rod 13 is inserted inside the positioning hole. A through hole is provided at the position of the positioning rod 13 of the insertion rod 12. The positioning rod 13 can pass through the insertion rod 12 to position the insertion rod 12 inside the shell 1, thereby realizing the connection between the shell 1 and the cleaning box 6, and also facilitating the disassembly of the cleaning box 6.

[0029] In some embodiments, a sticky insect board 14 is placed inside the cleaning box 6 for sticking beetles, and tobacco leaves are placed on the top of the sticky insect board 14 to lure beetles. The scraper 2 is the same size as the inside of the cleaning box 6, which is convenient for placing the sticky insect board 14.

[0030] In some embodiments, one end of the long rod 9 is pushed to be close to the connecting rod 8, so that the mesh plate 10 moves to the inside of the shell 1, the entrance is opened, the ultraviolet lamp 16 is turned on at the same time, and tobacco leaves are placed on the sticky insect board 14 to lure tobacco beetles. When the device needs to be cleaned, the long rod 9 is moved outward, so that the mesh plate 10 moves to the entrance of the shell 1 and closes the entrance. The pull rope 7 is pulled downward to drive the pull rod 4 to move downward inside the through groove, and the reset spring 5 is pressed to compress it. When the scraper 2 connected to the pull rod 4 moves to the inside of the cleaning box 6, the beetles are driven to the sticky insect board 14 of the cleaning box 6. At this time, the pull rope 7 is released, and under the action of the reset spring 5, the pull rod 4 is brought back to its original position, and then the positioning rod 13 is pulled out, and the insertion rod 12 is out of the slot. At this time, the cleaning box 6 is separated from the shell 1, and the sticky insect board 14 covered with beetles is taken out to complete the cleaning. Then the insertion rod 12 is aligned with the slot and pushed into the slot. The cleaning box 6 can be fixed to the bottom of the shell 1 by inserting the positioning rod 13 into the positioning hole.
