Detailed implementation manners
[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides an African giant snail trap, which is placed in the mud and used from 6:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next morning. Utilizing the characteristic that African giant snails are nocturnal, it is used to trap African giant snails to climb into the trap. It includes a collection box 1 and a bait plug 2. A through hole 11 is opened at the top of the collection box 1, and the bait plug 2 is arranged in the through hole 11. The bait plug 2 is a cone structure with upper and lower connections, and the diameter of the lower end of the bait plug 2 is greater than half of the diameter of the upper end of the bait plug 2. The first bait area 21, the salt hanging area 22, and the second bait area 23 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom inside the bait plug 2, and the height of the second bait area 23 is higher than the height of the first bait area 21.
[0029] In actual use, first apply the bait agent and salt to the first bait area 21, the salt-hanging area 22, and the second bait area 23 respectively. The inner wall of the bait plug 2 is made of frosted material, which is convenient for more bait agent and salt to adhere to the inner side of the bait plug 2, and fill the mixture of lime powder and salt into the collection box 1. Then dig a pit approximately in the shape of the collection box 1 in the muddy ground, place the collection box 1 in the pit. During the period from 6 pm to 5 am the next day, the giant African snails climb onto the ground to move around, and are attracted by the bait agent, and climb into the collection box 1 through the bait plug 2.
[0030] In the above, the bait plug 2 is set as a conical structure, which is beneficial for the giant African snails to crawl downward along the inner side of the bait plug 2. In this embodiment, the first bait area 21, the salt-hanging area 22, and the second bait area 23 are arranged in sequence. Since the first bait area 21 is close to the top of the bait plug 2, the giant African snails are attracted by the bait agent in the first bait area 21 and crawl into the bait plug 2, and crawl downward under the attraction of the bait agent in the second bait area 23. When the giant African snails pass through the salt-hanging area 22, they shrink after contacting the salt, so as to fall into the collection box 1; the collection box 1 is filled with a mixture of lime powder and salt, and the salt causes the giant African snails to further dehydrate, resulting in the shrinkage of their bodies. When the bodies of the giant African snails come into contact with quicklime, heat is generated and they die, thus preventing the giant African snails that fall into the collection box 1 from climbing back to the ground through the wall of the collection box 1 and the wall of the bait plug 2. Compared with manual capture, only by placing the collection box 1 in the muddy ground, the function of automatically trapping the giant African snails can be realized, and the giant African snails can be killed.
[0031] To trap more giant African snails, multiple collection boxes 1 can be placed in the same muddy ground in a matrix distribution manner, which improves the working efficiency of giant African snail control and is conducive to the large-scale promotion of giant African snail trapping and control. In addition, the collection box 1 can be recycled the next day, and can be reused after cleaning, thereby reducing the cost of large-scale trapping and control technology.
[0032] In the above, as Figure 3 shown, the height of the second bait area 23 is higher than the height of the first bait area 21, that is, there is more bait agent in the second bait area 23 than in the first bait area 21, which can attract the giant African snails to crawl downward without returning to the ground.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the height of the bait plug 2 is less than or equal to half of the height of the collection box 1, that is, the distance between the inner bottom of the collection box 1 and the bottom of the bait plug 2 is relatively large, so that the collection box 1 can collect more giant African snails, and at the same time, prevent the giant African snails from directly climbing upward from the bottom of the bait plug 2 and escaping.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 2, 3 4. A flange 24 is provided at the top of the bait plug 2, and the flange 24 is located on the upper surface of the collection box 1. The flange 24 is stuck on the through hole 11 to fix the bait plug 2 on the top of the collection box 1. When removing the bait plug 2, just grab the position of the flange 24 with the hand and lift it upward, then the bait plug 2 can be separated from the collection box 1. At this time, it is beneficial to apply bait agent and salt to the separated bait plug 2.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , 5 6, the bait plug 2 includes an upper plug body 25 and a lower plug body 26, and the upper plug body 25 and the lower plug body 26 are detachably connected; the first bait area 21 and the salt hanging area 22 are located on the upper plug body 25, and the second bait area 23 is located on the lower plug body 26; a foldable structure 14 is provided in the middle of the collection box 1. As Figure 6 shown, by setting the foldable structure 14 on the collection box 1 to shorten the height of the collection box 1, and separating the upper plug body 25 and the lower plug body 26, that is, removing the second bait area 23, it is suitable for use in soil with a relatively thin layer.
[0036] In the above, the foldable structure 14 is made of a telescopic soft material, and the height of the collection box 1 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the soil layer.
[0037] In the above, the detachable connection between the upper plug body 25 and the lower plug body 26 is a threaded connection, or a spiral snap connection, etc., so as to facilitate the combination and disassembly of the upper plug body 25 and the lower plug body 26.
[0038] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the upper plug body 25 further includes a first part 251 and a second part 252 connected in sequence. The first bait area 21 is located on the first part 251, and the salt hanging area 22 is located on the second part 252. The first part 251 and the second part 252 are detachably connected, and the first part 251, the second part 252, and the lower plug body 26 with different heights are assembled to adapt to the collection box in different height states. By setting the height of the collection box 1 to be adjustable and the bait plug 2 to be a detachable structure, the applicable range of the African giant snail trap is expanded.
[0039] In the above, the flange 24 is located at the top of the first part 251, and the connection between the first part 251 and the second part 252, as well as the connection between the second part 252 and the lower plug body 26, is a threaded connection, or a spiral snap connection, etc., so as to facilitate the combination and disassembly of each part.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the collection box 1 is a cylindrical structure or a rectangular columnar structure. In this embodiment, the collection box 1 is a rectangular columnar structure, which is convenient for neatly arranging multiple collection boxes 1.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the collection box 1 includes a box body 12 and a cover body 13 provided on the box body 12. The through hole 11 is located on the cover body 13. An opening is provided at the top of the box body 12. The cover body 13 is provided with an insertion portion 131 that cooperates with the opening. A sealing ring 4 is provided on the peripheral wall of the insertion portion 131. A foldable structure 14 is located on the box body 12. Through the above settings, the stability of the connection between the box body 12 and the cover body 13 can be improved. After the cover body 13 is opened, it is convenient for workers to clean the African giant snails collected in the box body 12, which is beneficial to the reuse of the collection box 1.
[0042] Furthermore, two first handle portions 121 extending outward are provided on the box body 12, and a notch 122 is provided in the middle of the first handle portions 121. Two second handle portions 132 extending outward are provided on the cover body 13, and the two second handle portions 132 correspond to the two notches 122 one by one. The two first handle portions 121 are symmetrically arranged. By grasping the two first handle portions 121, it is beneficial for workers to pick up and place the collection box 1. In addition, since the cover body 13 is provided with second handle portions 132 corresponding to the positions of the notches 122, when opening the cover body 13, one hand grasps the first handle portion 121, the other hand grasps the second handle portion 132, and the first handle portion 121 and the second handle portion 132 are moved away from each other, then the cover body 13 can be separated from the box body 12, and the operation is simple.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , the flange 24 is threadedly connected with a sealing cover 5. The sealing cover 5 is used to close the cover body 13 to prevent foreign objects from falling into the collection box 1 through the bait plug 2 during transportation, and to prevent the African giant snails, or the mixture of lime powder and salt in the collection box 1 from pouring out when the collection box 1 is overturned.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 8 , it further includes a rain shield 6. The rain shield 6 includes a conical cover 61, a vertical rod 62 and a connecting portion 63 connected in sequence. The connecting portion 63 is threadedly connected with the flange 24. In the horizontal plane, the projection plane of the bait plug 2 is located within the projection plane of the conical cover 61. The connecting portion 63 is threadedly connected with the flange 24 to install the conical cover 61 above the bait plug 2. African giant snails can climb into the bait plug 2 through the gap between two adjacent vertical rods 62. Therefore, when it rains, under the guiding action of the conical cover 61, rainwater can be prevented from dripping into the collection box 1 through the bait plug 2, thereby affecting the effect of trapping African giant snails.
[0045] Preferably, there are three vertical rods 62, so that the conical cover 61 is stably installed and does not prevent African giant snails from climbing into the bait plug 2.
[0046] It will be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, and all such changes or substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
