The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] The utility model embodiment provides an insect collection and storage cage with a trapping mechanism, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the insect collection and storage cage with a trapping mechanism comprises: an air-permeable net 1, the top of which is provided with a take-in and put-out port, a shell 2 fixedly mounted on the air-permeable net 1, and two luring ports 3 are provided on one side of the shell 2; two insect-attracting lamps 4 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of one side of the shell 2 for luring insects; two transparent tube sleeves 5 rotatably mounted on the shell 2, the two transparent tube sleeves 5 are respectively located outside the two insect-attracting lamps 4, and two luring grooves 6 are provided on the outer walls of the two transparent tube sleeves 5; and a plurality of trapping grooves 6 are welded on the outer wall of the two transparent tube sleeves 5. Two arc-shaped plates 7 on the inner wall of one side of the shell 2, each of which is provided with a plurality of soft hairs 8 for cleaning insects; a cover plate 12 hinged on the breathable net 1, the cover plate 12 is arranged corresponding to the access port; a limit block 13 welded on the top of the breathable net 1, a slot is provided on one side of the limit block 13; a sleeve 14 welded on the cover plate 12; a driving mechanism assembled on the shell 2 for rotating the two transparent tube sleeves 5; a fixing mechanism installed on the sleeve 14 for fixing the cover plate 12.
[0023] In this embodiment, the air-permeable net 1 forms the basic frame of the storage cage, provides a good ventilation environment, and ensures the living conditions of the insects in the cage. At the same time, the access opening design on the top facilitates the user to take and place the insects. The housing 2 is fixedly mounted on the air-permeable net 1, forming the main body of the storage cage. Two luring openings 3 opened on one side thereof provide an entry path for insects. When the storage cage is in use, two insect luring lights 4 light up to attract the surrounding insects into the luring openings 3, and then the insects enter into one of the trapping grooves 6 on the transparent tube sleeve 5. Under the system setting of the storage cage, the driving mechanism will be started intermittently once. Each time the driving mechanism is started, the transparent tube sleeve 5 will quickly rotate half a circle, so that the insects staying in the trapping groove 6 are sent into the interior of the storage cage before they can react. When the transparent tube sleeve 5 rotates for the next time, the soft hairs 8 on the arc plate 7 will clean up the insects attached to the transparent tube sleeve 5 to prevent them from escaping through the rotation of the transparent tube sleeve 5, thereby effectively preventing the captured insects from escaping from the interior of the storage cage, and the insect collection effect is better. If the captured insects are to be taken out for use, a fixing mechanism is used to release the fixation of the cover plate 12 so that the cover plate 12 can be opened. After opening, the operator can take out the insects inside the storage cage from the access opening.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the driving mechanism includes: a motor 9 fixedly mounted on one side of the shell 2, and a first gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 9; two second gears 11 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the two transparent tube sleeves 5, and the two second gears 11 are both meshed with the first gear 10.
[0025] In this embodiment, the motor 9 is the power source of the entire driving mechanism. When it is started, it will provide rotational power. Secondly, a first gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 9. When the motor 9 starts to rotate, it will drive the first gear 10 to rotate together. Thirdly, we have two second gears 11, which are fixedly sleeved on two transparent tube sleeves 5 respectively. The two second gears 11 are meshed with the first gear 10, so when the first gear 10 rotates, it will drive the two second gears 11 to rotate at the same time. Since the second gear 11 is directly connected to the transparent tube sleeve 5, when the second gear 11 rotates, the transparent tube sleeve 5 will also rotate accordingly. This design allows us to easily adjust the position and angle of the transparent tube sleeve 5 by controlling the rotation of the motor 9, thereby achieving efficient capture of insects.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the fixing mechanism includes: a pull rod 15 slidably mounted on the sleeve 14, a spring 16 being slidably sleeved on the pull rod 15, one end of the spring 16 being in contact with one side inner wall of the sleeve 14; a pressure plate 17 welded at one end of the pull rod 15, one side of the pressure plate 17 being in contact with one end of the spring 16; an insert block 18 welded on the pressure plate 17, the insert block 18 being adapted to the slot.
[0027] In this embodiment, firstly, we introduce a pull rod 15, which is slidably mounted on the sleeve 14. The sliding action of the pull rod 15 is the key to the operation of the fixing mechanism. By pulling the pull rod 15, we can control the locking and unlocking process of the entire fixing mechanism. Secondly, in order to realize the automatic locking function, we design a spring 16 and a pressure plate 17. The spring 16 is slidably sleeved on the pull rod 15, one end of which contacts with the inner wall of one side of the sleeve 14, and the other end contacts with one side of the pressure plate 17. When the pull rod 15 is released, the elastic force of the spring 16 pushes the pressure plate 17 and the pressure plate 17 to release the tension force of the spring 16. The plug block 18 welded thereto automatically moves toward the slot. Again, the plug block 18, as the core component of the fixing mechanism, is welded on the pressure plate 17 and is adapted to the slot. When the spring 16 pushes the pressure plate 17, the plug block 18 will be inserted into the slot, thereby fixing the cover 12. This design is not only simple in structure, but also has a stable and reliable fixing effect. Through the design of this fixing mechanism, the user can easily complete the fixing and unlocking operations of the cover 12. When the cover 12 needs to be opened, it only needs to pull the pull rod 15 to pull the plug block 18 out of the slot.

[0031] In this embodiment, the controller is fixedly installed on one side of the box 19, serving as the control center of the entire insect collection and storage cage, controlling the switch of the insect attractant light 4, the operation of the motor 9, etc. Through the controller, the user can conveniently set and adjust the working mode and parameters of the device to achieve intelligent management. The solar panel is fixedly installed on the top of the box 19. As a green and renewable energy supply device, the solar panel can convert sunlight energy into electrical energy to charge the battery 20. This design enables the insect collection and storage cage to operate in a more environmentally friendly and energy-saving manner, reducing dependence on traditional electricity.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air permeable net 1 is made of stainless steel, and a handle 21 is fixedly mounted on the air permeable net 1 .
[0033] In this embodiment, the breathable net 1 is made of stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance and strength, and can ensure that the breathable net 1 is not easily damaged or deformed during long-term use. The handle 21 is fixedly installed on the breathable net 1. This design allows the user to easily lift and carry the insect collection and storage cage, thereby improving the portability of the device.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a soft cover is fixedly mounted on the handle 21 and the soft cover is made of rubber.
[0035] In this embodiment, the soft cover is fixedly mounted on the handle 21.
