Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural pest monitoring technology, and in particular to an intelligent pest monitoring device and method based on insect-water separation. Background Technology
[0002] In modern agricultural production, pest and disease control is crucial for ensuring crop yield and quality. Pest monitoring devices, as the core of the pest and disease control system, directly determine the accuracy and timeliness of monitoring, thus influencing the scientific basis of control decisions. With the development of smart agriculture, pest monitoring is upgrading towards automation and intelligence, aiming to replace manual monitoring and address its pain points such as low efficiency and strong subjectivity, providing data support for precision plant protection.
[0003] Most common insect pest monitoring devices currently available attract pests using light sources or pheromone lures, then capture them using dry collection boxes or sticky traps, with pest counts relying on manual labor. While some devices have incorporated basic automation technology to achieve preliminary counting, they still fall under the limitations of traditional methods and cannot meet the demands of smart agriculture for high-precision, fully automated monitoring.
[0004] The existing devices face numerous technical challenges in practical use, which limit their level of intelligence and data accuracy, as follows: First, the severe stacking of insects affects recognition accuracy. The dry or adhesive collection structures of traditional devices easily lead to insect accumulation and obstruction, resulting in blurred outlines and incomplete features in the images captured by the camera, interfering with the accuracy of the recognition algorithm and making it impossible to accurately count the types and quantities of insects. Second, the random posture of insects increases the difficulty of recognition. In the dry collection environment, pests exhibit various random postures such as overlapping and curling, making the image features complex and prone to missed detections and misjudgments. Moreover, the small size and similar shape of agricultural pests further exacerbate the recognition difficulties. Third, there is significant interference from lighting and background, resulting in poor image segmentation. Irregular backgrounds to which insects attach easily produce reflections and texture interference, and fluctuations in field lighting also reduce the contrast between insects and the background, failing to provide a clear image data source for the recognition algorithm. Fourth, the degree of automation is limited, making it difficult to achieve intelligent monitoring. Although some devices have introduced image acquisition components, the lack of a standardized acquisition environment results in insufficient stability of recognition results, still requiring manual verification, and failing to achieve unattended operation, thus not solving the pain point of manual dependence. Fifth, the functions are limited, lacking comprehensive analysis capabilities. Existing equipment only collects insect infestation data and does not integrate environmental meteorological data collection functions. It is impossible to establish a correlation between insect infestation and environmental factors, making it difficult to predict insect infestation trends and provide a comprehensive basis for prevention and control decisions.
[0005] To address this issue, a smart insect monitoring and forecasting device and method based on insect-water separation is proposed. This method improves the spatial distribution of insects through structural design and combines image recognition algorithms to achieve insect monitoring and forecasting, thereby solving the problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing an intelligent insect pest monitoring device and method based on insect-water separation. This invention systematically solves the dual challenges of low recognition accuracy and high maintenance difficulty of traditional equipment through an integrated architecture of "physical insect-water separation + automatic flipping and cleaning + multi-dimensional environmental perception." This solution utilizes liquid surface tension to transform randomly stacked insects into standardized, single-layered, unfolded samples, eliminating background interference and posture deviations in image recognition at the source, achieving high-precision automatic collection of insect pest data. Simultaneously, combined with a closed-loop water circulation and automatic insect removal mechanism, along with a top-mounted meteorological monitoring module, it truly achieves unmanned closed-loop operation of the entire process from trapping and identification to cleaning. This significantly improves the scientific accuracy of pest and disease early warning while greatly reducing manual inspection and maintenance costs, making it highly valuable for promoting intelligent agriculture. To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: According to one aspect of the present invention, an intelligent insect pest monitoring device and method based on insect-water separation is provided, comprising a substrate, a base on the substrate, a receiving cavity inside the base, a water tank, a water pump and a control module inside the receiving cavity, a working body on the top of the base, the working body being cuboid in shape with openings on all four sides, the top of the working body being inclined, and a mounting frame on the top of the working body, the mounting frame having an inclined top plate on the top, a solar panel on the inclined top plate, an extension plate on the side wall of the inclined top plate, and a meteorological monitoring component on the extension plate, multiple indicator lights at the front end of the working body, a mounting plate at the bottom of the mounting frame, two lures symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the mounting plate, a camera acquisition component at the middle of the lower end of the mounting plate, a water basin at the lower end of the working body, the water basin being directly below the camera acquisition component, a flipping component at the lower end of the working body, and a liquid replenishment component inside the lower end of the working body, the liquid replenishment component cooperating with the water pump and the water tank.

Install pheromone lures adapted to the target pests on the back of the inclined top plate of the device. S3. Add clean water or a low surface tension solution to the water tank and start the water circulation system to keep the water basin at a stable water level. S4.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the invention, and these aspects of the invention can be achieved even without these specific details.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides an intelligent insect pest monitoring and forecasting device and method based on insect-water separation, the technical solution of which is as follows: This invention includes a base plate 1, on which a base 2 is mounted. The base 2 has an internal cavity containing a water tank, a water pump, and a control module. A working body 3, rectangular in shape, is mounted on top of the base 2, with openings 4 on all four sides to ensure air circulation and facilitate insect entry. The top of the working body 3 is inclined, and a mounting frame 5 is mounted on top of the working body 3. An inclined top plate 6 is mounted on top of the mounting frame 5, and a solar panel 7 is mounted on the inclined top plate 6 to provide clean energy for the equipment. An extension plate 8 is mounted on the side wall of the inclined top plate 6, and a meteorological monitoring component is mounted on the extension plate 8 for collecting environmental data.
[0021] In the initial stage, the control module employs an intelligent insect identification and statistical model based on zero-shot learning to identify, segment, and count target insects in the collected images, enabling rapid deployment under low-sample conditions. As sample data accumulates during operation, a dedicated insect image dataset is constructed, and target detection annotation training is conducted to address interference from other insects and the characteristics of the target insects, thereby improving recognition accuracy and target selection capabilities. Furthermore, the system introduces a semi-supervised self-learning mechanism, utilizing the trained model to automatically annotate and incrementally train the accumulated images, achieving continuous optimization and autonomous iteration of model parameters. For environmental interference factors in specific application scenarios, including rain, water reflection, complex lighting, and background noise, scene-specific training strategies are constructed to enhance the model's robustness and counting accuracy in complex environments.
[0022] The main working body 3 has multiple indicator lights 9 at its front end to display the working status of the equipment. The mounting frame 5 has a mounting plate 10 at its bottom, and two lures 11 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the mounting plate 10 to release sex pheromones or attract pests in conjunction with a light source. A camera acquisition device 12, such as a high-definition industrial camera, is located at the lower center of the mounting plate 10 to capture images of the insects.
[0023] The lower end of the main working body 3 is provided with a water basin 13, and the water basin 13 is located directly below the camera acquisition device 12. In this embodiment, the bottom and side walls of the water basin 13 are uniformly set to a light color (such as white or light blue) to enhance the contrast between the insect and the background, improve the image recognition effect, and improve the image segmentation accuracy.
[0024] The lower end of the working body 3 is provided with a flipping component; specifically, the flipping component includes a flipping motor 14 located on the rear side of the working body 3, and the output shaft of the flipping motor 14 extends into the working body 3. A support base 15 is provided inside the working body 3 on the side away from the flipping motor 14, and a rotating shaft 16 is mounted on the support base 15 via bearings; a snap-fit bracket 17 is provided between the output shaft of the flipping motor 14 and the rotating shaft 16, and the water basin 13 is detachably mounted within the snap-fit bracket 17; the flipping motor 14 drives the snap-fit bracket 17 to rotate, thereby causing the water basin 13 to flip, thus tilting the insects.
[0025] The bottom of the main body 3 is provided with a filter groove 18, and multiple filter holes 19 are opened in the filter groove 18. The diameter of each filter hole 19 is smaller than the average size of the insect body to ensure that the insect body is trapped. A diversion bucket 20 is provided on the lower side of the main body 3, and the opening of the diversion bucket 20 is located above the filter groove 18. The diversion bucket 20 is inclined downward and gradually tightens from top to bottom to catch the water and insect bodies poured out. A collection box 26 is provided between the main body 3 and the base 2. The collection box 26 is drawer-shaped, and the top of the collection box 26 is connected to the filter groove 18, which facilitates manual periodic removal and cleaning of dead insects and accumulated water.
[0026] The lower part of the main working body 3 is equipped with a liquid replenishment component, which works in conjunction with a water pump and a water tank. Specifically, the liquid replenishment component includes a support frame 21 located at the bottom of the main working body 3. An adjusting motor 22 is located inside the support frame 21, with its output end extending to the top of the support frame 21. A rotating block 23 is mounted on the output end of the adjusting motor 22. A Z-shaped plate 24 is mounted on the rotating block 23, and a liquid replenishment pipe 25 is mounted on the Z-shaped plate 24. The other end of the liquid replenishment pipe 25 extends downward into the base 2 to engage with the water tank. By rotating the adjusting motor 22, the Z-shaped plate 24 can be oscillated, thereby adjusting the water outlet position of the liquid replenishment pipe 25 and avoiding interference with the flipping operation of the flipping component.
[0027] The meteorological monitoring component includes a wind vane 27, an antenna 28, and a wind vane 29. The wind vane 27, antenna 28, and wind vane 29 are arranged horizontally on the extension plate 8 to achieve coverage of wind speed, wind direction, and communication signals.
[0028] Workflow: In practical use, this invention achieves fully automated insect monitoring through the coordinated operation of physical structure and intelligent control: First, the pheromones or light source released by the insect attractant core 11 attract the insects to fly towards the inclined top plate 6 on the top of the main body 3. Due to the lack of a stable attachment support surface on the back of the top plate, the insects become unstable under the action of gravity and fall vertically into the water basin 13 directly below. Utilizing the surface tension of the liquid, the insects that fall into the water quickly float and naturally spread out, transforming from a disordered stacking state to a single-layer, relaxed distribution state. Combined with the light-colored background of the water basin 13, this greatly optimizes the imaging quality. At this time, the camera acquisition unit 12 located directly above performs vertical shooting to obtain high-definition images of the insect distribution. After receiving the images, the control module calls the initial model based on zero-shot learning to achieve rapid deployment and instant counting under low-sample conditions. As the operating data accumulates, the system constructs a dedicated dataset and introduces semi-supervised learning. The self-learning mechanism performs automatic annotation and incremental training to continuously optimize model parameters. Simultaneously, it constructs scene-specific training strategies to address interference from rain, glare, and complex lighting conditions, significantly enhancing the model's robustness and counting accuracy in complex environments while accurately eliminating insect interference. Simultaneously, it collects wind speed, wind direction, and temperature and humidity data from the meteorological monitoring components. After completing this round of identification, the flip motor 14 drives the card holder 17 to rotate the water basin 13 180 degrees, diverting the wastewater containing insects through the diversion bucket 20 into the filter tank 18. The insects are trapped and slide into the collection box 26, while the filtered water flows back to the water tank in the base 2. Finally, the liquid replenishment component adjusts the motor 22 to drive the Z-shaped plate 24 to swing, causing the liquid replenishment pipe 25 to replenish the water basin 13. The device thus completes one monitoring cycle and automatically enters the next standby state, achieving 24 / 7 unattended intelligent monitoring and reporting.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
