[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a pest trapping and control robot, including a walking vehicle 1 that can walk in the field. The walking vehicle 1 is equipped with an adjustable arm 2 with multiple degrees of freedom. The adjustable arm 2 is equipped with a trapping mechanism 3 for trapping pests. The trapping mechanism 3 is electrically connected to an identification component installed on the walking vehicle 1.
[0035] The trapping mechanism 3 includes a storage component mounted on the adjusting arm 2. The storage component is connected to the trapping component for trapping pests. The trapping component is electrically connected to the identification component. After the identification component identifies the type and number of pests, it adjusts the trapping method of the trapping component to trap the pests.
[0036] The trapping component includes a trapping box 31 that is unidirectionally connected to a storage component. A trapping module 32, electrically connected to an identification component, is installed inside the trapping box 31. The trapping module 32 lures pests into the trapping box 31, where they are then stored in the storage component. This invention discloses a pest trapping and control robot. The robot includes a walking vehicle 1 that can move freely in the field, ensuring the robot can move freely in the agricultural environment and cover a wider operating area. The multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable arm 2 on the walking vehicle 1 allows the trapping mechanism 3 to flexibly adjust its position and posture to adapt to different terrains and crop growth conditions, improving trapping efficiency. The trapping mechanism 3 is electrically connected to an identification component on the walking vehicle 1, enabling it to identify the type and quantity of pests, achieving integrated intelligent identification and trapping. This is a prerequisite for precise trapping, allowing the robot to trap multiple pests. Compared to existing single-function intelligent devices, it has greater applicability and can meet the needs of different agricultural environments. This invention addresses the needs of pest and disease control. In practical use, the identification component accurately identifies the type and quantity of pests, and the trapping component adjusts the trapping method based on the identification results, achieving precise trapping of different types of pests. This expands the scope of application and effectiveness, avoiding environmental problems caused by the overuse of pesticides or biological control methods. The trapping component includes a trapping box 31 that is unidirectionally connected to the storage component, ensuring the safe storage of trapped pests and preventing escape or secondary pollution, enabling long-term unmanned operation. The trapping box 31 contains a trapping module 32 electrically connected to the identification component. The trapping module 32 operates according to the instructions of the identification component, achieving intelligent control of the trapping process, precisely controlling the trapping method and intensity, making it more intelligent and targeted, and improving the trapping effect. This invention combines intelligent technology with agricultural pest and disease control, automatically employing different methods to specifically trap agricultural pests. It boasts high trapping efficiency and significant trapping effects, promoting the intelligent transformation of the agricultural field and providing strong support for sustainable agricultural development. It has significant technical advantages and application prospects in pest and disease trapping and control.
[0037] The walking vehicle 1 moves in the field, and the identification component identifies the type and quantity of pests, transmitting the information to the trapping component. The adjusting arm 2 adjusts the position of the trapping mechanism 3 through multiple degrees of freedom, aligning the trapping component with the pest area. The trapping module 32 adjusts the trapping method, such as trapping lights or pheromones, according to the identification results, luring the pests into the trapping box 31. The trapping box 31 then sends the pests to the storage component for storage, realizing the automation and intelligence of pest control, avoiding the residues and environmental pollution problems of traditional chemical pesticides, and overcoming the defects of unstable effects and high costs in biological control. Through the linkage between the identification component and the trapping component, the trapping method can be adjusted for different pests, solving the problems of single function and insufficient applicability of existing intelligent equipment. In one embodiment of the invention, the bottom of the walking vehicle 1 is provided with several independently arranged walking motors 11. The output end of the walking motors 11 is connected to the walking wheels 12, which can be automatically controlled by the control module set in the walking vehicle 1, automatically controlling the robot's free movement.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the walking vehicle 1 is equipped with a plurality of power generation modules 13 for generating electricity, which can utilize renewable energy sources in the field such as solar energy and wind energy to generate electricity, thereby extending the working time of the robot of the present invention and reducing energy consumption.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the power generation module 13 includes core equipment and supporting equipment capable of generating renewable energy. Those skilled in the art understand the selection criteria and usage methods of the power generation module 13, which will not be elaborated here.
[0040] The scheme is further optimized by incorporating trapping channels 33 that run through the four sides of the trapping box 31. These channels connect to trapping chambers 34 within the box, and the bottom of the chambers 34 connects to a storage component via a transfer channel 35. A trapping module 32 is movably connected within the chambers 34. Pests trapped by the module 32 enter the chambers 34 through the trapping channels 33 and then pass through the transfer channel 35 into the storage component. The identification component identifies the type and quantity of pests and selects the appropriate trapping method. Once attracted, the pests enter the chambers 34 through the trapping channels 33 and, guided by the module 32 or moving on their own, pass through the transfer channel 35 into the storage component. This forms a complete path for pest trapping and collection, improving pest capture efficiency, preventing escape, and enhancing the trapping effect.
[0041] In a further optimized design, the trapping module 32 includes a turntable 36 rotatably connected to the top of the trapping chamber 34. The top of the turntable 36 is connected to a drive motor 37 located at the top of the trapping box 31. A trapping tube 38 for trapping pests is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 36. Several arc-shaped plates 39 are also provided at equal intervals around the trapping tube 38 at the bottom of the turntable 36. The edges of the arc-shaped plates 39 slide in contact with the trapping chamber 34. The drive motor 37 drives the turntable 36 to rotate. The trapping tube 38 at the bottom of the turntable 36 releases trapping signals, such as releasing attractants or emitting light or heat signals to attract pests. The trapping signals are transmitted to the outside of the trapping chamber 34 to trap the pests, making the trapping range of the trapping tube 38 wider and increasing its attractiveness to surrounding pests. The arc-shaped plate 39 rotates with the turntable 36. When pests enter the trapping chamber 34, the arc-shaped plate 39 guides the pests in the trapping chamber 34 to prevent them from escaping. They can only enter the storage component through the transfer channel 35 at the bottom, preventing pests from staying in the trapping chamber 34. It can also clean the inner wall of the trapping chamber 34 to prevent pests from attaching. At the same time, it guides the pests to move towards the transfer channel 35, improving the pest collection efficiency and reducing the blockage of the trapping chamber 34.
[0042] The scheme is further optimized. The trapping tube 38 includes a frame 310 set at the bottom of the turntable 36, and an arc plate 39 fixed to the outer wall of the frame 310. Several trapping lamp groups 311 are arranged at equal intervals on the frame 310. A trapping tube 312 that uses pheromones to trap pests is set in the middle of the frame 310, and the trapping lamp groups 311 are arranged around the trapping tube 312. The trapping lamp assembly 311 emits light of a specific wavelength to trap specific phototactic pests in farmland, while the trapping tube 312 traps pests by releasing pheromones or specific hormones. The two can be used alone or in combination to increase the trapping ability of pests, form a three-dimensional trapping area, enhance the attraction to pests, and improve the trapping effect of pests in farmland. The frame 310 rotates with the turntable 36, which makes the spread of light and pheromones wider. After being attracted, the pests enter the trapping chamber 34 through the trapping channel 33. The combination of physical trapping and chemical trapping expands the range of pests that can be trapped and improves the trapping success rate.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the trapping tube 312 has an inner cavity for storing the trapping agent, and a first adsorbent material 316 is provided in the cavity. When in use, a specific type of pheromone or other substance is injected into the cavity through the injection hole 313 so that the injected substance can be released at an appropriate speed. After the injection is completed, the injection hole 313 is blocked by the sealing plug 314.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of through holes 315 are provided through the outer wall of the trapping tube 312. The through holes 315 are connected to the cavity. A second adsorbent material 317 is provided inside the through holes 315. The second adsorbent material 317 is in contact with the first adsorbent material 316, which can realize the slow release of the trapping substance and prolong the trapping time.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the trapping light group 311 includes a plurality of trapping lights arranged at equal intervals. When rotated, the lights can be emitted in all directions through the trapping channel 33, thereby increasing the coverage area of the lights.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the colors of the trapping lights can be the same or different. The robot can switch the corresponding lights according to the phototactic pests identified by the positioning, thereby trapping the pests and greatly improving the trapping effect.
[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pheromones emanating from the trapping tube 312 diffuse in the trapping cavity 34, and when the arc plate 39 rotates, the pheromones can be accelerated to diffuse in all directions, thereby increasing the trapping efficiency.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the methods for trapping pests can be integrated according to actual needs. Therefore, the trapping module 32 can also integrate methods such as sound wave trapping, vibration trapping, chemical odor trapping, and host plant trapping. The method can be selected according to the type and number of pests identified, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of precise trapping.
[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, while targeting pests, other means can be used simultaneously to reduce the trapping effect on non-target organisms, thereby improving the trapping effect while reducing the impact on other beneficial organisms.
[0050] The scheme is further optimized by setting a guide ring 318 in the transfer channel 35, and a baffle plate 319 is embedded in the guide ring 318. The baffle plate 319 has a passage hole 320 for pests to pass through. A cleaning brush 321 is rotatably connected to the baffle plate 319 and is driven by the drive motor 37. The cleaning brush 321 slides in contact with the top of the baffle plate 319 and sweeps the pests that fall on the baffle plate 319 into the storage component. After being guided into the transfer channel 35 by the arc-shaped plate 39, the pests fall onto the baffle plate 319. The drive motor 37 drives the cleaning brush 321 to rotate through the transmission rod 322, sweeping the pests on the baffle plate 319 into the storage component through the hole 320. This prevents pests from getting stuck on the baffle plate 319 or blocking the transfer channel 35, ensuring that the pests can enter the storage component smoothly. The design of the baffle plate 319 and the through hole 320 can control the speed at which the pests enter the storage component, preventing the storage component from being overloaded at any moment, and also effectively preventing the pests from escaping in the opposite direction. The guide ring 318 guides the pests and prevents them from accumulating in the transfer channel 35.
[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, a gearbox 323 is provided on the baffle plate 319. The output end of the gearbox 323 is connected to the transmission rod 322, and the output end of the gearbox 323 is connected to the spiral plate 324 provided in the storage component. When the transmission shaft rotates, it can drive the spiral plate 324 to rotate. Moreover, the rotation speed of the spiral plate 324 is greater than the speed of the transmission rod 322 after the speed change, so that the pests falling on the spiral plate 324 are thrown away by centrifugal force. The rotating spiral plate 324 will prevent the pests from escaping in the opposite direction, thereby improving the storage security of the storage component.
[0052] Further optimization of the solution: the storage component includes a storage box 325 installed on the adjusting arm 2. The storage box 325 has a storage cavity 326 whose top end is connected to the transfer channel 35. The bottom end of the storage cavity 326 is connected to an exhaust component surrounding the storage cavity 326. The exhaust component draws air from the storage cavity 326, causing the pests inside the storage cavity 326 to dry out and die. The storage box 325 is mounted on the adjusting arm 2. The storage cavity 326 inside is connected to the trapping cavity 34 through the transfer channel 35. After the pests enter the storage cavity 326 through the transfer channel 35, the exhaust component is activated to extract air from the storage cavity 326, reducing the humidity inside the storage cavity 326 and accelerating air circulation. This causes the pests to dry out and die due to lack of water and oxygen, achieving harmless treatment of the pests and preventing the pests from surviving, reproducing, or rotting and producing odors in the storage cavity 326. There is no need to use chemical agents for killing, further reducing environmental pollution and residue risks. At the same time, the extraction process puts the storage cavity 326 into a negative pressure state, allowing airflow to enter from the trapping cavity 34, accelerating the entry efficiency of the pests and increasing the difficulty for the pests to escape.
[0053] The design is further optimized by including an exhaust chamber 327 within the storage box 325, which surrounds the storage chamber 326. The exhaust chamber 327 communicates with the storage chamber 326 via exhaust holes 328 on its bottom surface. Several exhaust fans 329 are mounted on the outer wall of the exhaust chamber 327 for venting air from it. The surrounding exhaust chamber 327 and exhaust holes 328 ensure more even air extraction within the storage chamber 326, guaranteeing effective drying of pests in all areas. During operation, multiple exhaust fans 329 activate, drawing air from the exhaust chamber 327 to create a negative pressure environment. This negative pressure then draws air from the storage chamber 326 through the exhaust holes 328. Air from the storage chamber 326 enters the exhaust chamber 327 through the exhaust holes 328 and is then expelled by the exhaust fans 329, accelerating the pest death process.
[0054] The design is further optimized by incorporating a smooth bottom surface and a sloping design in the middle of the storage chamber 326. An outlet 330 for removing pests is located at the bottom center of the storage chamber 326. A removable sealing cover 331 is installed inside the outlet 330, allowing pests that fall to the bottom of the storage chamber 326 to be discharged through the outlet 330. After the pests dry and die inside the storage chamber 326, their bodies gather towards the center due to gravity because of the sloping and smooth bottom surface. Opening the sealing cover 331 allows the bodies to be discharged through the outlet 330, facilitating subsequent processing and reducing the maintenance difficulty of the storage components. Furthermore, counting the number of discharged pests helps assess the severity of pest infestations in the field.
[0055] Further optimization of the design: The adjusting arm 2 includes a rotating seat 21 rotatably connected to the walking vehicle 1. The rotating seat 21 is equipped with a first movable arm 22 and a second movable arm 23 connected end-to-end. A mounting base 24 is located at the end of the second movable arm 23 furthest from the first movable arm 22. The trapping component and the storage component are respectively mounted on the mounting base 24. The rotating seat 21 can be rotatably mounted on the walking vehicle 1, enabling horizontal rotation and allowing the adjusting arm 2 to face different directions. The first movable arm 22 and the second movable arm 23 are rotatably connected end-to-end, allowing them to rotate under external force, adjusting their angles and jointly moving the mounting base 24 in three-dimensional space. This expands the working range of the trapping mechanism 3, adapting to crop pest and disease scenarios at different heights and locations, improving the robot's applicability in complex field environments, and ensuring the trapping and storage components are precisely aligned with the pests, thus enhancing the trapping effect.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the deflection of the first movable arm 22 and the second movable arm 23 is mainly driven by the matching adjusting motor 25, the transmission belt 26 and the adjusting wheel 27. The start and stop of the adjusting motor 25 are controlled by the control module, thereby realizing the movement control of the adjusting arm 2. The principle and method are well understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0057] The scheme is further optimized. The identification component includes an identification seat 14 rotatably connected to the walking vehicle 1. The identification seat 14 is equipped with an identification module 15 for identifying pests. The identification module 15 is electrically connected to a control module located inside the walking vehicle 1. The identification seat 14 can rotate to adjust the angle of the identification module 15, enabling it to photograph or detect field pests from different directions, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of pest identification. It can also provide the walking vehicle 1 with detection of the surrounding environment. The identification module 15 transmits information such as the type and quantity of identified pests to the control module. The control module controls the trapping component to adjust the trapping method according to the information, enabling it to trap different types of pests and realize real-time adjustment of the trapping strategy, further improving the targeting and efficiency of pest control.
[0058] Work process:
[0059] Preliminary training of recognition module 15: The accurate recognition capability of recognition module 15 relies on preliminary sample learning and model training. It needs to complete the entire process of "sample collection - feature annotation - model training - iterative optimization" to lay the foundation for real-time recognition in the field. The specific steps are as follows:
[0060] Multi-scenario pest sample collection: Covering different crop types, different growth cycles, and different field environments, collecting images, behavioral characteristics, and chemical signal samples of target pests. Samples should include different morphologies and activity states of pests, while also collecting samples of common non-target organisms in the field to avoid subsequent misidentification.
[0061] Sample feature extraction and annotation: For the collected image samples, key visual features of pests are extracted using image recognition algorithms, including body shape, color texture, wing vein structure, and antennae morphology. For behavioral samples, the response parameters of pests to specific stimuli are annotated. For chemical signal samples, the response thresholds of pests to different pheromone concentrations are recorded. Sample features are manually annotated to establish a "feature-pest species" correspondence database, ensuring the accuracy and professionalism of the annotation results and providing a standard dataset for model training.
[0062] Model Training and Optimization: A machine learning algorithm is used to train a pest identification model with labeled sample datasets as input. Through repeated learning, the model establishes a mapping relationship between "input features" and "output pest species / quantity," achieving preliminary pest identification. A cross-validation mechanism is introduced, dividing the dataset into training, validation, and test sets. The model's identification accuracy is verified using the test set. If misclassification occurs, the sample feature labeling is adjusted or the model algorithm is optimized, iteratively improving the model's identification accuracy and generalization ability until the model's accuracy meets the requirements for field operations.
[0063] Field environment adaptation learning: The trained model is deployed to the recognition module 15 hardware and pre-tested in typical field scenarios. Image interference data in actual field environments are collected, and the model's anti-interference ability is optimized in a targeted manner. For example, the algorithm compensates for differences in image brightness under different light intensities, and the model is trained to ignore non-target features such as crop leaf shadows and soil particles, ensuring that the model can still stably recognize objects in complex field environments. After completing the above training and learning, it can be used for field pest trapping.
[0064] When the robot is operating in the field, the recognition module 15 combines the results of previous learning and uses the process of "environmental perception - feature acquisition - real-time matching - result output" to achieve dynamic identification of the types and quantities of pests. The specific steps are as follows:
[0065] Recognition component posture adjustment and environmental perception: When the mobile vehicle 1 moves in the field, the control module drives the recognition seat 14 to rotate according to the preset working path or real-time terrain, adjusting the angle and height of the recognition module 15 to ensure that the recognition module 15 can cover areas prone to pests, such as the crop canopy and the underside of leaves, avoiding blind spots. The recognition module 15 simultaneously collects current environmental parameters and transmits them to the control module, which then adjusts the working mode of the recognition module 15 according to the environmental parameters.
[0066] Real-time collection of multi-dimensional pest characteristics:
[0067] Visual feature acquisition: The recognition module 15 captures field images in real time through a high-definition camera, performs real-time preprocessing on the images, extracts the visual features of suspected pest targets in the images, and eliminates interference from non-target objects such as crop leaves and weeds.
[0068] Behavioral feature-assisted data collection: If the identification module 15 is equipped with an infrared sensor or a motion trajectory capture unit, it can simultaneously record the motion state of the suspected target. Combined with the previously learned pest behavior feature database, it can help determine whether the target is a live pest.
[0069] Chemical signal association acquisition: When the trapping module 32 releases pheromones, the identification module 15 can detect changes in the concentration of pheromones in the field through the odor sensor, and combine the response characteristics of pests to specific pheromones to help determine the species of target pests.
[0070] Feature matching and pest identification: The identification module 15 inputs multi-dimensional features collected in real time into the trained identification model. The model quickly matches the input features with the previously learned "feature-pest type" database and calculates the feature similarity. If the feature similarity of a certain type of pest exceeds a preset threshold, the model determines that the current target is that type of pest and counts the number of pests using an image segmentation algorithm. If the feature similarity is below the threshold, it is determined to be a non-target organism or an unknown target, and no targeted trapping operation is triggered. The features of the unknown target are temporarily stored for subsequent model iteration and optimization.
[0071] Identification Result Output and Linkage Control: The identification module 15 transmits the identified pest species, quantity, and distribution area information to the control module inside the traveling vehicle 1 in real time in the form of electrical signals. Based on the identification results, the control module sends instructions to the adjusting arm 2 and the trapping mechanism 3. The adjusting arm 2 moves the trapping box 31 to the pest distribution area through multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment; the trapping module 32 switches to the corresponding trapping mode to achieve precise trapping.
[0072] The continuous optimization mechanism of recognition module 15: During long-term operation, recognition module 15 is not static, but continuously learns and improves its recognition capabilities through "data accumulation - model update".
[0073] Real-time accumulation of field data: The identification module 15 automatically stores the results of each field identification into the local database and periodically uploads the data to the cloud server via wireless transmission.
[0074] Iterative training of cloud-based models: The cloud server summarizes and analyzes the field data uploaded by multiple robots. Experts re-label misjudged cases and unknown target features, update the sample dataset, and then optimize the recognition model through incremental training algorithms to improve the model's ability to identify new and mutated pests.
[0075] Model distribution and local updates: The optimized recognition model is distributed to the recognition module 15 of each robot via wireless communication. The recognition module 15 automatically completes the model update, realizing a closed loop of "field practice - data feedback - model optimization - capability improvement", ensuring that the recognition accuracy remains at a high level in long-term operation.
