[0022] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Currently, the number of pests such as cockroaches is mainly monitored by sticky trapping. The density of cockroaches is monitored based on the number of cockroaches caught by sticky traps. This monitoring method is time-consuming and inefficient, and it goes against the user's perception and willingness when checking the count process. To solve this problem, firstly, Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a pest population monitoring device 100, which may include: a first plate body 10 and a second plate body 20; wherein, an adhesive layer 11 is provided on the first side of the first plate body 10, and the first plate body 10 is capable of transmitting infrared light; the adhesive layer 11 of the first plate body 10 can adopt a super-strong adhesive to firmly bind and capture crawling pests 40 such as cockroaches, etc. In addition, the first plate body 10 is configured to be able to transmit infrared light so as to monitor and count the captured pests 40 according to the infrared monitoring principle. The second plate 20 is arranged on the second side of the first plate 10. The second plate 20 is provided with a monitoring unit 211 and a processing unit (not shown in the figure) connected to the monitoring unit 211. The monitoring unit 211 is used to emit infrared light to the monitoring area of the first plate 10 and monitor the reflected light 211b of the infrared light. The processing unit is used to determine whether there are pests 40 in the monitoring area according to the intensity of the reflected light 211b. If there are pests 40, the processing unit counts the pests 40. The second plate 20 is used to arrange the monitoring unit 211 to emit infrared light to the first plate 10. In this way, Figure 2 As shown, if there are pests 40 on the first plate 10, the infrared light 211a emitted by the monitoring unit 211 can be reflected by the pests 40, thereby obtaining reflected light 211b, which can be received by the monitoring unit 211, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, if no pests 40 are present on the first plate 10, the infrared light 211a emitted by the monitoring unit 211 is not reflected by the pests 40, and the monitoring unit 211 will not receive the reflected light 211b from the pests 40. Therefore, the presence of pests 40 can be determined based on the reflected light 211b, and the number of pests 40 can be specifically counted based on the intensity of the reflected light 211b. Based on the structural dimensions of the first plate 10, the monitoring unit 211 is specifically positioned on the second plate 20 so that the infrared light emission range and the reflected light 211b reception range effectively cover the distribution range of the pests 40 captured by the first plate 10. The processing unit can utilize an ESP32 single-chip microcontroller to determine the presence of pests 40 based on the intensity of the reflected light 211b and, if present, to count the pests 40.

[0025] The present invention provides a device 100 for monitoring the number of pests 40, comprising a first plate 10 and a second plate 20. The first plate 10 has an adhesive layer 11 disposed on a first side thereof, and the first plate 10 is capable of transmitting infrared light. The second plate 20 is disposed on a second side thereof, and includes a monitoring unit 211 and a processing unit connected to the monitoring unit 211. The monitoring unit 211 is configured to emit infrared light toward a monitoring area on the first plate 10 and monitor reflected light 211b of the infrared light. The processing unit is configured to determine whether pests 40 are present in the monitoring area based on the intensity of the reflected light 211b. If present, the processing unit counts the pests 40. This device counts pests 40 captured by the first plate 10 based on the principle of infrared light sensing, effectively improving the efficiency and intelligence of pest 40 monitoring.

[0026] Since the coverage of the infrared light 211a emitted by a single monitoring unit 211 or the received reflected light 211b is limited, it is optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, there are multiple monitoring units 211 and multiple monitoring areas on the first plate 10; multiple monitoring units 211 are arranged on the second plate 20 in a preset arrangement, and each monitoring unit 211 of the multiple monitoring units corresponds to one of the multiple monitoring areas. In this embodiment, the first plate 10 can be divided into multiple monitoring areas according to the signal coverage range of the monitoring unit 211 at the corresponding position of the second plate 20. For example, according to the signal coverage range of a single monitoring unit 211, the first plate 10 can be divided into multiple monitoring areas with a length and width of 5 mm × 5 mm respectively. The multiple monitoring units 211 can be arranged in an array on the second plate 20, and each monitoring unit 211 corresponds to a monitoring area. In this way, the multiple monitoring units 211 can constitute a comprehensive monitoring coverage range for the first plate 10. When the pest 40 on the first plate 10 is located in a certain monitoring area, the corresponding monitoring unit 211 that sends infrared light to the monitoring area can receive the reflected light 211b of the pest 40 and transmit the reflected light 211b to the processing unit, so that the processing unit can count the pests 40 according to the intensity of the reflected light 211b.

[0027] When specifically configuring the components of the monitoring unit 211, optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the monitoring unit 211 includes an infrared emitting module 2111 and an infrared monitoring module 2112; wherein the infrared emitting module 2111 is used to emit infrared light; the infrared monitoring module 2112 is used to monitor the reflected light 211b, and convert the optical signal of the monitored reflected light 211b into an electrical signal, and send the electrical signal to the processing unit. For example, the infrared emitting module 2111 can use an LED light source, and the infrared monitoring module 2112 can use a photodiode, the LED light source emits infrared light, the photodiode monitors the reflected light 211b, and converts the optical signal of the monitored reflected light 211b into an electrical signal, for example, converting the reflected light 211b into a voltage signal according to the light intensity, and then sending the voltage signal to the processing unit. In addition, the monitoring unit 211 can also use finished components, such as an infrared light sensor element with the function of emitting signals and receiving reflected light 211b.

[0028] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the processing unit includes a comparison module and a counting module; the comparison module is configured to compare the parameter value of the electrical signal with a preset threshold value and determine whether the parameter value of the electrical signal exceeds the preset threshold value; and the counting module is configured to increment a count value by one if the parameter value of the electrical signal exceeds the preset threshold value. In this embodiment, when a pest 40 is stuck and captured in a monitoring area on the first side of the first plate 10, infrared light emitted by the infrared emission module 2111 of the monitoring unit 211 corresponding to the monitoring area will be reflected by the pest. After the infrared monitoring module 2112 of the monitoring unit 211 detects the reflected light 211b, it can convert the reflected light 211b into an electrical signal, such as a voltage signal, based on the intensity of the reflected light 211b. After the voltage signal is sent to the processing unit, the comparison module of the processing unit compares the parameter value of the voltage signal with the preset threshold value to determine whether the parameter value of the voltage signal exceeds the preset threshold value. If the parameter value exceeds the preset threshold value, it is determined that the pest 40 is present, and the counting module of the processing unit increments the count value by one, thereby achieving a cumulative statistical count of the pests 40 captured in the monitoring area.

[0029] To improve the capture rate of pests 40, one embodiment of the present application optionally further includes a cover 30, which is disposed on the first side of the first plate 10 and encloses a through-cavity structure with the first plate 10. The through-cavity structure has at least a first opening 31 and a second opening 32. Further disposing the cover 30 on the monitoring device 100 effectively protects the first side of the first plate 10, preventing debris from entering and affecting the bonding effect of the adhesive layer 11. At the same time, the first opening 31 and the second opening 32 of the through-cavity structure form an entry channel for the pests 40. The cover 30 can be made of a material such as cardboard, or the first plate 10 and the cover 30 can be made of existing finished components such as cockroach houses to reduce usage costs.

[0030] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 are detachably connected. This allows the monitoring device 100 of this embodiment to be reused. After the first plate 10 is used, it can be removed from the second plate 20 and replaced with a new first plate 10. For heavier or larger first plates 10, bolts can be used to achieve a detachable connection with the second plate 20. For lighter first plates 10, clips, buckles, etc. can be used to secure them to the second plate 20, which further reduces the cost of use.

[0031] In order to provide the user with the number of pests 40 determined by the monitoring device 100 in a timely and intuitive manner, one embodiment of the present application optionally includes a digital display device (not shown in the figure). The digital display device is connected to the processing unit and is used to display the number of pests 40 counted by the processing unit. The digital display device can be electrically connected to the processing unit and display the number of pests 40 determined by the processing unit in real time. In this way, the user can check the number of pests 40 counted by the monitoring device 100 at any time through the digital display device and make corresponding decisions based on the number of pests 40. When the number of pests 40 reaches a warning threshold, an alarm signal can also be issued. For example, the digital display device can prompt the user by flashing a number, etc., to indicate that the number of pests 40 has exceeded the warning threshold and that timely action should be taken.

[0032] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, a wireless transmitter is further included, which is connected to the processing unit and is used to transmit the pest count value 40 of the processing unit to the receiving device. In some specific usage scenarios, such as large-area use sites such as warehouses, the monitoring devices 100 installed in each area can transmit the measured number of pests 40 in the area to the monitoring end via the wireless transmitter, so that the monitoring end personnel can make management decisions based on the number of pests 40 in the area, thereby further avoiding the tediousness and inconvenience of manual inspection and improving the intelligence level of the monitoring device 100.

[0033] In the second aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a pest monitoring system, including: a pest quantity monitoring device and a background control module, the pest quantity monitoring device is any of the pest quantity monitoring devices described in the embodiments of the present application, and the pest quantity detection device also includes a communication unit, and the background control unit is communicatively connected to the communication unit, and the communication unit is used to send the pest count value to the background control module so that the background control module can display the count value to the user.

If present, the processing unit counts the pests 40. This device counts pests 40 captured by the first plate 10 based on the principle of infrared light sensing, effectively improving the efficiency and intelligence of pest population monitoring.
