[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments, not all embodiments.
[0040] Example like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a grape pest monitoring device, including: a trapping component 10, an insect introduction component 20, a variable geometry funnel cavity 30, a monitoring component 40, an environmental information acquisition component 50, a control and communication module 60, an electric actuator 70, a housing 90, and an adjustable support frame (not shown). The trapping component 10, the insect introduction component 20, the monitoring component 40, the environmental information acquisition component 50, and the electric actuator 70 are all electrically connected to the control and communication module 60.
[0041] In this embodiment, the insect introduction component 20 includes a high-speed airflow channel (not shown), a low-speed airflow channel (not shown), an airflow buffer chamber (not shown), an electrically controlled valve plate (not shown), and a fan assembly (not shown).
[0042] The high-speed airflow channel adopts a straight through-type air duct with a relatively narrow cross section, which can form a strong negative pressure suction force to capture small pests with small body length and fast flight speed, such as adult grape root borers.
[0043] The low-speed airflow channel adopts a curved and winding structure with an internal arc buffer chamber, which can significantly reduce the airflow speed and impact force when the insect enters, thereby avoiding damage to larger insects or insects with fragile wing membranes and improving the integrity of the capture.
[0044] The air duct can switch between channels. The control and communication module 60 dynamically selects the air duct based on the insect characteristics identified by the monitoring components or historical capture data. For example, when small moths are frequently active at night, it switches to a high-speed airflow channel; during the day or when the wind speed is high, it activates a low-speed airflow channel to avoid accidentally inhaling non-target particles. Through the graded airflow insect-trapping structure, selective capture of pests of different sizes can be achieved, improving capture efficiency and the integrity of the target insect.
[0045] In this embodiment, the variable geometry funnel cavity 30 has an insect activity detection array (not shown), double-arc blades 31, and multiple independent storage areas 33. The left and right blades 31 are fixed to the side wall of the shell by metal hinges. The blades 31 are made of lightweight, weather-resistant polycarbonate. Each blade 31 is driven by an electric actuator 70, which uses a micro servo motor (not shown). The micro servo motor can precisely adjust the opening and closing angle of the blade 31 within a range of 30 to 120°. At night, the device automatically adjusts the funnel angle to the maximum through a control communication module to increase the trapping area; during the day, the angle is reduced to decrease the probability of large non-target insects entering.
[0046] The outlets of the high-speed airflow channel and the low-speed airflow channel are connected to different independent storage areas.
[0047] In windy or hot conditions, the control and communication module automatically adjusts the blade angle by 31 degrees based on feedback from environmental sensors to maintain a moderate opening in the funnel, preventing strong winds from disrupting the insect's trajectory. When weak-flying pests (such as grape clearwing moths) are detected, the control and communication module adjusts the funnel to a narrower channel to create a significant airflow guiding effect, allowing the insect to enter the center of the airflow more quickly and increasing the capture success rate.
[0048] The insect activity detection array includes an infrared grating transmitter (not shown), a receiver (not shown), and multiple micro-vibration membrane units (not shown).
[0049] The infrared grating emitter uses multiple narrow infrared beams arranged in a planar detection network. As the insect passes through the funnel opening, a unique time sequence of cutoffs is formed on the beam. This sequence can reflect the size, speed, and direction of entry of the insect.
[0050] The micro-vibration membrane unit is located below the entrance to the independent storage area. When an insect lands on the surface of the micro-vibration membrane, it generates high-frequency vibrations. The vibration signal is processed by an amplifier and filter module before being input to the control and communication module 60. The system can extract wing vibration frequency, impact intensity, and spectral distribution information from the vibration spectrum. The combined grating data and micro-vibration data constitute the insect's activity characteristics, such as whether it is in an active flight state or exhibits abnormal behavior. This characteristic can serve as an auxiliary basis for judgment in the identification results and can be used to adjust the trapping strategy, such as increasing supplementary lighting brightness or reducing airflow speed.
[0051] In this embodiment, the monitoring component 40 has a multi-angle imaging unit, which is used to obtain a three-dimensional image of the insect. The multi-angle imaging unit is located within the variable geometry funnel cavity 30.
[0052] The multi-angle imaging unit consists of two miniature high-definition cameras 41, which are symmetrically arranged at a 45° angle above the independent storage area. The baseline distance between the two cameras is between 20 mm and 35 mm to balance three-dimensional accuracy and installation space. A structured light laser is located between the two miniature high-definition cameras 41, and its emitting surface projects a grid-like or striped coded light spot to enhance surface texture and facilitate the deep extraction of low-contrast insects.
[0053] After capturing images of the insect using a miniature high-definition camera 41, the system generates a 3D point cloud of the insect through stereo matching and structured light-assisted depth analysis. After filtering and removing background noise, the point cloud allows for the calculation of key parameters such as body length, wingspan, thickness, and overall volume. These 3D features not only improve classification accuracy but can also be used to distinguish different developmental stages of homoembryonic insects or to identify the presence of parasitic pests or diseases based on surface characteristics.
[0054] In this embodiment, the trapping component 10 includes a multi-band LED light-inducing module (not shown), a temperature-controlled odor-inducing box (not shown), and a release mechanism (not shown).
[0055] The multi-band LED light-inducing module consists of several LED arrays, covering different wavelengths from 320 to 660 nanometers, and can be combined to create the optimal spectrum for the phototaxis of different pests.
[0056] The temperature-controlled attractant box consists of a sealed cavity, a heating element, and an attractant chamber. The heating element can maintain the cavity at 25 to 45°C, making the evaporation rate of the attractant more stable.
[0057] The release mechanism employs a micro-pump, which regulates the airflow through adjustable pulse control to precisely control the diffusion range of the attractant. The control and communication module 60 automatically sets the spectral combination and attractant intensity based on a real-time insect infestation prediction model. For example, at night, it outputs a combination of ultraviolet and blue light to facilitate stronger attractant diffusion; during the day, it retains only a small amount of light source and reduces the amount of attractant to minimize non-target attraction.
[0058] The trapping component 10 can ensure the stability of trapping under different seasons, light and wind speeds, effectively enhancing the overall capture efficiency of the device.
[0059] In this embodiment, the environmental information acquisition component 50 is used to acquire vineyard environmental data. The environmental information acquisition component 50 includes a temperature and humidity sensor, a light sensor, and a gas concentration sensor.
[0060] In this embodiment, the insect activity detection array, the trapping component 10, the insect introduction component 20, the monitoring component 40, the environmental information acquisition component 50, the control and communication module 60, and the electric actuator 70 are all electrically connected to the power supply module 80.
[0061] The power supply module 80 employs a dual-source power supply, comprising a solar panel 81, a micro-wind generator impeller 82, an energy storage battery (not shown), and an energy management circuit (not shown). The solar panel 81 utilizes high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon material and can automatically adjust its angle according to sunlight to achieve optimal incident rate. The micro-wind generator impeller 82 is driven to rotate by the breeze in the vineyard's wind tunnel, providing continuous power to the battery pack.
[0062] The energy management circuit features automatic switching and hybrid power supply capabilities, allowing wind power to supplement electricity when solar energy is insufficient. When both energy sources are insufficient, the system automatically enters a low-power mode, retaining only core monitoring functions and reducing communication frequency. Through dual-source power supply and energy dispatch strategies, the device can achieve stable outdoor operation year-round, making it particularly suitable for long-term pest monitoring in remote vineyards.
[0063] In this embodiment, an escape prevention mesh layer 34 is provided in the independent storage area 33.
[0064] In this embodiment, the environmental information acquisition component 50, the control and communication module 60, and the power supply module 80 are all fixedly connected to the outer shell 90. The trapping component 10, the insect introduction component 20, the monitoring component 40, and the variable geometry funnel cavity 30 are all located inside the shell.
[0065] Specifically, the outer shell 90 is provided with an opening for the insect to enter the outer shell 90.
[0066] Specifically, the adjustable support frame is fixedly connected to the housing.
[0067] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, the scope of protection of this invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be conceived without inventive effort should be covered within the scope of protection of this invention. Unless expressly stated otherwise, no element, action or instruction used herein should be construed as critical or necessary.
