Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a collection box for capturing ground bumblebees is provided, including a collection box body 1, a collection cavity 2 integrally formed on the upper surface of the collection box body 1, a cover plate 3 detachably connected to the upper surface of the collection box body 1, two attracting tubes 4 fixedly connected to the right side of the collection box body 1, a waste box 5 provided on the lower surface of the collection box body 1, and multiple support legs 6 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the collection box body 1 and outside the waste box 5.

[0025] In use, first open the cover plate 3 to smear the bumblebee favorite nectar or sugar water and the like attractant in the collection cavity 2 and inside the attractant pipe 4, then cover the cover plate 3, place the collection box body 1 stably in the bumblebee activity area through the support leg 6, then use the attractant pipe 4 to attract it, the bumblebee is attracted to enter the collection cavity 2 through the attractant pipe 4, it is difficult to escape due to the one-way design of the attractant pipe 4, the waste such as feces generated during the collection will fall into the waste box 5 below, which is convenient for subsequent direct disassembly of the waste box 5 for cleaning, so as to realize efficient capture through the collection cavity 2 cooperating with the attractant pipe 4, the detachable connection of the cover plate 3 facilitates the placement of the attractant and the removal of the bumblebee, the setting of the waste box 5 can keep the environment clean in the collection cavity 2, and the support leg 6 ensures the stability of the collection box body 1. The overall structure is simple and convenient to operate, which not only reduces the harm to the bumblebee during capture to improve the survival rate, but also provides safety protection for the operator, and is convenient for cleaning and maintenance, which meets the demand of bumblebee capture and short-term storage.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1-3 The upper surface of the cover plate 3 is fixedly connected with a handle two 28;

[0027] The handle two 28 is convenient for opening the cover plate 3, smearing the bumblebee favorite nectar or sugar water and the like attractant in the collection cavity 2, and then covering the cover plate 3 through the handle two 28, which makes the operation more convenient and saves labor, and improves the convenience of the device.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5 The right side of the two attractant pipes 4 is provided with a through-type tapered slot 7, the left side of the inside of the two tapered slots 7 is provided with a movable circular plate 8, the right side of the inside of the collection cavity 2 is rotatably connected with two supporting plates 9, the right lower side of the two supporting plates 9 is fixedly connected with the left side of the two movable circular plates 8, and the lower surface of the inside of the two tapered slots 7 and the right side of the two movable circular plates 8 are fixedly connected with a limiting block 10;

[0029] When the bumblebee is attracted to the attractant pipe 4, it will move in the direction of the collection cavity 2 along the tapered slot 7, and after contacting the movable circular plate 8, it will push the movable circular plate 8 to move left, and the movable circular plate 8 will drive the supporting plate 9 fixedly connected therewith to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the channel of the tapered slot 7 is opened, and the bumblebee can enter the collection cavity 2, and when the bumblebee enters the collection cavity 2, the movable circular plate 8 moves right due to gravity, at this time the limiting block 10 will block the movable circular plate 8, so that the movable circular plate 8 cannot continue to move right, thereby closing the channel of the tapered slot 7 and preventing the bumblebee from escaping, thereby ensuring that the bumblebee can smoothly enter the collection cavity 2, improving the capture efficiency, and effectively preventing it from escaping, ensuring the capture effect, and the cooperation of the movable circular plate 8 and the supporting plate 9 and the setting of the limiting block 10 make the one-way function stable and reliable, avoiding the situation that the bumblebee escapes due to structural failure, and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 The front surface of the collection box body 1 is embeddedly installed with a transparent window 11;

[0031] The transparent window 11 embeddedly installed on the front surface of the collection box body 1 can allow the operator to directly observe the number and activity state of the ground bees in the collection cavity 2 and the working condition of the one-way structure at the attractant pipe 4 without opening the cover plate 3, which not only avoids the risk of ground bees escaping due to frequent opening of the cover plate 3, but also enables real-time monitoring of the capture progress and device running state, facilitating timely adjustment of the attractant strategy or handling of abnormal situations, thereby improving the convenience and safety of operation. Meanwhile, the embedded design of the transparent window 11 can ensure the overall sealing of the collection box body 1, preventing ground bees from escaping from the installation gap and further enhancing the reliability of the device.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3 A through ventilation opening 22 is formed on the left side of the inside of the collection box body 1, and a bug screen 23 is detachably connected inside the ventilation opening 22;

[0033] The through ventilation opening 22 formed on the left side of the inside of the collection box body 1 can effectively promote air exchange between the collection cavity 2 and the outside, ensuring smooth air circulation in the collection cavity 2 and providing fresh air for the ground bees, thereby avoiding the influence of closed air, insufficient oxygen or high temperature in the box on the survival state of the ground bees and creating a suitable short-term living environment for them. On the one hand, the mesh size of the bug screen 23 is reasonably designed to effectively block the ground bees in the collection cavity 2 from escaping from the ventilation opening 22, ensuring that the captured ground bees do not escape, and on the other hand, it can block insects, dust, debris and other external objects from entering the collection cavity 2, preventing pollution of the environment in the collection cavity 2 and ensuring a clean living environment for the ground bees. Meanwhile, the bug screen 23 is detachably connected, which is convenient for the operator to regularly remove it for cleaning or replacement, avoiding the influence of blockage of the bug screen 23 due to long-term use on the ventilation effect, and ensuring that the blocking performance of the bug screen 23 is always good, thereby improving the maintenance convenience and long-term use reliability of the device.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The inside lower surface of the collection cavity 2 is integrally formed with a tapered guide cavity 12, the inside lower surface of the tapered guide cavity 12 is provided with a through discharge opening 13, the inside of the collection box body 1 and below the tapered guide cavity 12 is provided with a poking cavity 14, the inside of the poking cavity 14 is slidably connected with a baffle 15, the front surface of the baffle 15 extends to the front of the collection box body 1 and is fixedly connected with a handle 16;

[0035] The conical guide cavity 12 is integrally formed on the inner lower surface of the collecting cavity 2, which can guide the excrement and other waste materials generated by the ground bumblebee in the collecting cavity 2 to the discharge port 13 on the inner lower surface thereof. Normally, the slidingly connected baffle 15 in the poking cavity 14 is in a state of closing the discharge port 13, preventing the ground bumblebee from escaping from the discharge port 13. When it is necessary to clean the waste materials, the operator can pull the handle one 16 to drive the baffle 15 to slide forward in the poking cavity 14, so that the discharge port 13 is communicated with the conical guide cavity 12. At this time, the waste materials in the conical guide cavity 12 will be discharged along the discharge port 13. After cleaning, the baffle 15 is reset to close the discharge port 13 by pushing the handle one 16. That is, the waste material cleaning does not need to open the cover plate 3, avoiding the risk of the ground bumblebee escaping during the cleaning process. The inclined structure of the conical guide cavity 12 ensures that the waste materials can naturally gather to the discharge port 13, improving the cleaning efficiency. The cooperation of the baffle 15 and the handle one 16 makes the operation simple and convenient, which not only ensures the cleanliness of the environment in the collecting cavity 2, but also does not affect the normal storage of the ground bumblebee, improving the convenience and practicality of the device.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner lower surface of the collecting cavity 2 and located outside the conical guide cavity 12 is rotatably connected with a circular rack plate 17 through a rotating shaft. The inner side wall of the circular rack plate 17 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 18 in a symmetrical manner. The lower surface of each connecting plate 18 is fixedly connected with a scraper 19. The outer side wall of each scraper 19 is in contact with the inner side wall of the conical groove 7. The rear surface of the collecting box body 1 is provided with a rotating handle 20. The upper surface of the circular rack plate 17 is meshingly connected with a control gear 21 at the rear thereof. The rear surface center of the control gear 21 is fixedly connected with the front surface center of the rotating handle 20.

[0037] The operator rotates the rotating handle 20 at the rear of the collection box body 1, drives the control gear 21 fixedly connected therewith to rotate, the control gear 21 meshes to drive the circular rack plate 17 to rotate around the rotating shaft, and the circular rack plate 17 drives the two scrapers 19 to rotate synchronously through the connecting plate 18. Since the outer side walls of the two scrapers 19 are in contact with the inner side walls of the conical guide cavity 12, the waste adhered to the inner wall of the conical guide cavity 12 can be scraped off during rotation, so that it falls to the bottom. At the same time, when the two scrapers 19 are slowly rotated, the ground bumblebees at the bottom of the conical guide cavity 12 are slightly pushed away from the lower area, and the operator then pulls the handle 16 to drive the baffle 15 to slide to open the discharge port 13, so that the scraped waste and the waste at the bottom can be smoothly discharged. The rotation of the scrapers 19 effectively cleans the waste adhered to the inner wall, avoids long-term residue of the waste from polluting the environment, and the slow rotation of the scrapers 19 promotes the ground bumblebees to leave the bottom area, preventing the ground bumblebees from approaching the discharge port 13 when the baffle 15 is opened for discharging, reducing the risk of the ground bumblebees escaping from the discharge port 13 or being carried out by the waste, improving the thoroughness of cleaning, ensuring the safety of the discharging process, and making the entire cleaning and discharging operation more efficient and reliable.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 The lower surface of the collection box body 1 and located on both sides of the waste box 5 are fixedly connected with the fixed plates 24, the opposite sides of the two fixed plates 24 are provided with the insertion grooves 25, the left and right sides of the waste box 5 are fixedly connected with the insertion strips 26, the opposite sides of the two insertion strips 26 respectively extend into the interiors of the two insertion grooves 25, and the rear surface of the waste box 5 is provided with the stress grooves 27.

[0039] When the waste box 5 needs to be taken out for cleaning, the operator can insert fingers into the stress grooves 27 on the rear surface of the waste box 5 and pull the waste box 5 forward, so that the insertion strips 26 on the left and right sides of the waste box 5 respectively slide out of the insertion grooves 25 on the opposite sides of the two fixed plates 24, thereby taking the waste box 5 out from below the collection box body 1. After cleaning, the two insertion strips 26 of the waste box 5 are aligned with the insertion grooves 25 of the two fixed plates 24, and the waste box 5 is pushed so that the insertion strips 26 are completely inserted into the insertion grooves 25, thereby completing the installation of the waste box 5. Through the cooperation of the insertion strips 26 and the insertion grooves 25, the waste box 5 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which is simple and labor-saving. The provision of the stress grooves 27 provides a convenient force point for pulling the waste box 5, which is convenient for the operator to exert force. The insertion and cooperation can ensure the stability of the waste box 5 after installation, avoid accidental falling of the waste box 5 during use, ensure effective collection of waste, and improve the convenience and reliability of cleaning and maintenance of the device.
