[0002] Aerial pests spread rapidly and cause widespread damage, posing a significant threat to my country's forest resources. Currently, monitoring and control of aerial insects can be achieved using traps, including attractant traps and optical traps. Attractant traps use substances that attract insects, such as sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, and plant-derived substances. Optical traps utilize the phototaxis of insects, making them more environmentally friendly and appealing to both male and female insects. In areas with frequent cross-border trade, such as customs and ports, traps can be installed to monitor aerial pests that travel with goods.

[0003] Currently, electric shock traps for flying insects have the following problems: 1. They are too large, cannot be moved or disassembled after installation, and have high operating costs; 2. Dead insects are easily caught on the electric grid, affecting subsequent insect attraction; 3. They cannot be adjusted for different insects. Summary of the Invention

[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms used in the various embodiments, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right," which indicate orientation, are only used to simplify the description of the positional relationships based on the accompanying drawings and do not mean that the components and devices referred to must be operated in accordance with the specific orientations and defined operations, methods, and structures in the specification. Such directional terms do not constitute a limitation of this invention.

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and drawings are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] See Figure 1-4 An electric shock trapping device is provided, comprising an attractant device 6, a support device 5, an electric grid 7, and an insect collection device 2. The attractant device 6 is located inside the support device 5, the electric grid 7 is located outside the support device 5, and the insect collection device 2 is located at the lower part of the support device 5.

[0038] The supporting device 5 is a supporting plate or a supporting frame, and the supporting plate is as follows: Figure 4 The support plate has the shape shown, and the support frame is as follows: Figure 4 The frame of the border shown.

[0039] The support device 5 is an inverted trapezoid. This inverted trapezoidal shape allows the electric grid 7 to form an inverted truncated pyramid shape, reducing the likelihood of insects getting caught. This is because after an insect contacts the electric grid 7 at the top of the support device 5, it falls vertically. Since the electric grid forms an inverted truncated pyramid, the falling insect will not touch the lower electric grid, reducing the chance of it getting caught. In existing technologies, support devices are often rectangular. When insects contact the electric grid at the top of the support device, they are more likely to touch the lower electric grid during their vertical fall, thus getting caught and significantly affecting the subsequent trapping effect.

[0040] The support device 5 consists of two parts, namely support device one 5-1 and support device two 5-2, which are cross-connected.

[0041] Preferably, the support device 5 has a protrusion on its upper part and a hole in its middle part for placing the lure device 6.

[0042] Preferably, the support device 5 has a hole at its lower part, and the connecting component 8 is connected to the insect collecting device 2 through the hole.

[0043] The attracting device 6 includes a light source and / or attractant to attract the insects. Specifically, the light source can be a single wavelength light (e.g., 345nm). Different wavelengths of light have different attracting effects on different pests (for example, a 345nm wavelength light source has the best attracting effect on the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar asiatica). After trapping one pest, the light source can be changed to a different wavelength light source for trapping another pest.

[0044] Specifically, during use, insects are attracted by the light source and / or attractant, fly towards the trapping device and collide with the electric grid 7. The high voltage of the electric grid 7 (generally 1500-2000V) will directly electrocute the insects, causing them to fall into the insect collection device 2.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] See Figure 1-5 This invention provides an electric shock trapping device, which differs from the embodiments described above in that the electric grid 7 is formed by winding wires around the outside of the support device 5 or through holes inside the support device 5. Using a winding method to lay the electric grid facilitates disassembly and transportation, and also reduces manufacturing costs. In the prior art, integral, fixed-shape electric grids are commonly used, which are large in size, cannot be compressed, and are inconvenient for transportation.

[0047] Preferably, the support device 5 has a groove on its edge or a hole inside the support device 5, through which the power grid wires can be wound and laid out, preventing the wires from slipping or falling off.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] See Figure 1-5 An electric shock trapping device is provided, differing from the embodiments described above in that the wire is at an angle to the horizontal plane, the angle being between 30° and 60°, and the angle can be 30°, 31°, 32°, 33°, 34°, 35°, 36°, 37°, 38°, 39°…51°, 52°, 53°, 54°, 55°, 56°, 57°, 58°, 59°, 60°. The inclined arrangement of the electric grid wire allows insects caught in the net to slide down the wire, reducing the probability of insects getting caught. The electric grid 7 forms an inverted truncated pyramid shape on the trapping device. Figure 5 The example illustrates the arrangement of the power grid conductors on four sides. The arrangement of the power grid conductors in this invention includes, but is not limited to, this arrangement; various combinations and configurations of the arrangement on the four sides are also possible. Those skilled in the art will understand that as long as at least one side of the conductor is inclined (at a certain angle to the horizontal plane), the probability of insects getting caught in the net can be reduced.

[0050] Example 4:

[0051] See Figure 1-5 An electric shock trapping device is provided, which differs from the above embodiments in that the spacing between the wires is smaller than the wingspan of the insect, ensuring that all flying insects contact the electric grid 7 and preventing them from directly passing through it. The spacing between the wires can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the target insect to achieve a better trapping effect. This also allows the trapping device of this invention to be more reusable. For situations where different pests occur at different times or where there is a need to trap different insects, only the spacing between the electric grid wires needs to be adjusted to create a trapping device for trapping different insects, greatly reducing costs.

[0052] Example 5:

[0053] See Figure 1-5 An electric shock trapping device is provided, which differs from the above embodiments in that the trapping device further includes a baffle 3. The baffle 3 is located on the upper part of the support device 5, and has four holes or slots for fixing four protrusions on the support device 5. The baffle 3 is used to fix the support device 5 and prevent rainwater and fallen leaves from falling onto the electric grid 7 or into the insect collecting device 2.

[0054] Example 6:

[0055] See Figure 1-5 An electric shock trapping device is provided, which differs from the above embodiments in that the trapping device further includes a photovoltaic panel 1, which is located on the upper part of the baffle 3, and is connected to the power grid 7 through a circuit, and the photovoltaic panel 1 supplies power to the power grid 7.

[0056] Preferably, the photovoltaic panel 1 is also connected to the light source via a circuit, and the photovoltaic panel 1 also supplies power to the light source.

[0057] The photovoltaic panel 1 is installed on the upper part of the baffle 3 in a roof shape and is connected to the electrical box 4 by wires. The baffle 3 has four holes or slots for fixing the four protrusions on the support device 5.

[0058] When the attracting device 6 is a light source for attracting insects, the photovoltaic panel 1 can simultaneously supply power to the power grid 7 and the light source used for attracting insects.

[0059] Example 7:

[0060] See Figure 1-6An electric shock trapping device is provided, which differs from the above embodiments in that the trapping device further includes an electrical box 4. The electrical box 4 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 1 and the power grid 7 and / or the light source through a circuit. The electrical box 4 includes a battery 4-1 and a switch 4-2. The battery 4-1 is used to store the electrical energy obtained by the photovoltaic panel 1 and output the stored electrical energy. The switch 4-2 is used to control the switching of the circuit, and can also control the switching of the power grid 7 and the light source simultaneously or separately.

[0061] Preferably, the switch 4-2 can control the switching of the power grid 7 and the light source respectively.

[0062] Preferably, when the switch 4-2 is closed, the battery 4-1 does not receive electrical energy from the photovoltaic panel 1, nor does it supply power to the power grid 7 and the light source; when the switch 4-2 is open, if the solar energy received by the photovoltaic panel 1 is higher than a certain threshold, it is considered as the charging mode in daytime, and the photovoltaic panel 1 charges the battery 4-1 and stops supplying power to the power grid 7 and / or the light source; when the solar energy received by the solar panel 1 is lower than the certain threshold, the battery 4-1 in the electrical box 4 supplies electrical energy to the power grid 7 and / or the light source, and the power grid 7 and / or the light source work normally.

[0063] Preferably, the trapping device further includes a light sensor, which can control the switching of the circuit.

[0064] Comparative Example 1:

[0065] The formula for calculating the slope of the legs of an isosceles trapezoid is: height of the trapezoid / horizontal projection length of the legs. This slope is the tangent of the angle between the legs and the base, and can reflect the degree of inclination.

[0066] To obtain the optimal insect-proof netting device, the inverted isosceles trapezoid of support device 5 has a slope of its sides. The netting rate was compared for netting devices with different slopes. The netting device adopted the above-described implementation scheme, the difference being that: the wire of the electric grid 7 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and support device 5 is an inverted isosceles trapezoid (with different slopes of the sides), or a rectangle. Indoors, insects were simulated to be netted (using the method of manually throwing insects). The insects used were gypsy moths (Lymantria disparasiatica) (n=20). The number of insects netted was counted, and the netting rate was calculated.

[0067] Table 1

[0068] The slope / shape of the waist Number of listings / Total number Network connection rate 0.5 2 / 20 10% 0.75 1 / 20 5% 1 2 / 20 10% 1 / 20 5% 2 / 20 10% 3 2 / 20 10% 4 5 / 20 25% 5 7 / 20 35% rectangle 8 / 20 40%

[0069] The results (Table 1) show that when the slope of the waist is 3 or less, the insect-preventing netting effect of the trapping device is better (netting rate of 5% to 10%). Considering the size of the trapping device (the smaller the slope of the waist, the larger the volume), a slope of 1-3 is more suitable, and preferably preferred. .

[0070] Comparative Example 2:

[0071] To obtain the optimal insect-proof netting trapping device, the wires of the electric grid 7 are at a certain angle to the horizontal plane. The netting rates of trapping devices at different angles were compared. The trapping device adopts the above-described implementation scheme, the difference being that the support device 5 is an inverted isosceles trapezoid with a slope of [insert slope here]. The wires of power grid 7 are at different angles to the horizontal plane. Indoors, insects are simulated to be caught in the net (by artificially throwing insects). The insects used are gypsy moths (Lymantria disparasiatica) (n=20). The number of insects caught in the net is counted and the netting rate is calculated.

[0072] Table 2

[0073] Angle (°) Number of listings / Total number Network connection rate 0 (i.e., parallel to the horizontal plane) 6 / 20 30% 5 2 / 20 10% 10 2 / 20 10% 30 1 / 20 5% 45 0 / 20 0 60 0 / 20 0

[0074] The results (Table 2) show that the insect-preventing netting effect of the trapping device is better when the angle is 30° to 45° (netting rate of 0 to 5%); the insect-preventing netting effect of the trapping device is best when the angle is 45° and above (netting rate of 0%).

[0075] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
