Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of plant protection and animal trapping tools, in particular to a mollusk trap. Background Art

[0002] Molluscs such as slugs and snails pose a significant threat to vegetable crops like cabbage and lettuce, as well as tobacco. They also serve as intermediate hosts for several parasites, posing a significant threat to public health and safety. Chemical pesticides used to control these pests are primarily metaldehyde, carbaryl, or a combination of these two, but these pesticides pose significant environmental risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a green and safe method of controlling slugs, snails, and other mollusks in the field.

[0003] Currently, traps are used to capture mollusks such as slugs and snails. A trap source is placed inside the trap to lure them inside. However, if these traps are not promptly handled, mollusks can easily escape and re-enter the field. Therefore, a new trap structure is urgently needed to address this issue of mollusks escaping easily. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mollusk trap. By providing downward serrated barbs on the top of the induction cover, the mollusk will pass through the barbs when escaping from the trap. The barbs will penetrate the mollusk's body and the mollusk will be unable to pass through the barbs due to pain, thereby preventing the captured mollusk from escaping from the trap. In order to solve the problems and shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a mollusk trap, which includes:

[0005] The induction cover is a hollow container with an open top, and the outer diameter of the top end of the induction cover is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the induction cover. The top end of the induction cover is provided with downward serrated barbs.

[0006] Optionally, the induction cover is in a truncated cone shape.

[0007] Optionally, the angle between the side wall and the bottom section of the induction cover is not greater than 45°.

[0008] Optionally, the serrated barbs are distributed at equal distances.

[0009] Optionally, the trap further includes a rainproof cover, which is located above the induction cover and connected to the induction cover via a column.

[0010] Optionally, the trap further includes an insect collecting device, the outer edge of which is connected to the inner side wall of the induction cover.

[0011] Optionally, the trap further comprises an insect collecting device, which is a hollow cylinder with an opening at the top;

[0012] A horizontal circular ring is provided at the top of the induction cover, the serrated barbs are provided along the inner circular surface of the circular ring, and the lower surface of the circular ring is connected to the upper surface of the hollow cylinder.

[0013] Optionally, an annular protrusion is provided on the bottom of the insect collecting device.

[0014] Optionally, the distance from the top of the induction cover to the bottom of the insect collecting device is not less than 3 cm.

[0015] Optionally, the length of the serrated barb is not less than 0.5 cm, and the distance from the bottom of the insect collecting device is not less than 3 cm.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] (1) Serrated barbs are set on the top of the induction cover to allow the molluscs caught in the trap to escape from the trap.

[0018] (2) The angle between the induction hood and the horizontal plane is no more than 45°, and the slope is relatively gentle, which is convenient for guiding mollusks into the trap.

[0025] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 To describe a mollusk trap according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features, that is, include one or more of the features.

[0027] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a trap according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The utility model provides a mollusk trap 1, which includes an induction cover 10. The induction cover 10 is a hollow container with an open top, and the outer diameter of the top end of the induction cover 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the induction cover 10.

[0028] Specifically, the bottom cross-section of the induction hood 10 is larger than the top cross-section of the induction hood 10. In other words, the horizontal projection of the top entirely falls within the cross-section of the bottom cross-section, and the top and bottom are connected by a sidewall 11. During use, the trap 1 is placed on the ground, and a trapping source for attracting slugs and other mollusks is placed inside the trap 1. The slugs and other mollusks, attracted by the trapping source, crawl upward along the induction hood 10. Once they reach the top of the induction hood 10, they fall through the opening at the top into the hollow structure within the induction hood 10. This allows the trap 1 to capture the slugs and other mollusks.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the bottom end of the induction cover 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the top end, so that when slugs and other mollusks crawl along the side wall 11 of the induction cover 10, they are supported by the oblique upward force of the side wall 11, thereby preventing them from falling while crawling on the side wall 11, thereby improving the trapping efficiency of the trap 1.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the induction cover 10 is in a truncated cone shape. Specifically, the induction cover 10 can be regarded as a rotating body formed by rotating a right-angled trapezoid 360 degrees, and the side wall 11 of the induction cover 10 is obtained by rotating the hypotenuse of the right-angled trapezoid.

[0031] In this embodiment, the induction cover 10 is designed to be in a frustum shape, which has a simple and beautiful appearance and is easy to manufacture.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the angle between the side wall 11 of the induction cover 10 and the bottom cross section is not greater than 45°.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the induction cover 10 is placed on the ground, the bottom section of the induction cover 10 is in contact with the ground, and the angle between the side and bottom section of the induction cover 10 is no more than 45°, which can be any value between 1 and 45.

[0034] In this embodiment, the angle between the side and bottom sections of the induction cover 10 is no greater than 45°. When slugs and other mollusks crawl along the side wall 11 of the induction cover 10, it is a slow ascending process, which is more conducive to the slugs and other mollusks crawling to the top of the induction cover 10.

[0035] In other embodiments of the present invention, the angle between the side surface and the bottom cross-section of the induction cover 10 is not less than 10°. If the angle between the side surface and the bottom cross-section of the induction cover 10 is too small, in order to make the distance between the top and bottom of the induction cover 10 reach a certain value, the bottom cross-section needs to be increased, which makes the area occupied by the trap 1 too large.

[0036] In this embodiment, the angle between the side surface and the bottom section of the induction cover 10 is not less than 10°, which reduces the floor space occupied by the trap 1 when placed on the ground.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the top section of the induction cover 10 is provided with downward serrated barbs 13. Specifically, the top section of the induction cover 10 is provided with only serrated barbs 13, and the sharp direction of the barbs is toward the hollow structure of the induction cover 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, if a slug or other mollusk inside the induction cover 10 wants to crawl out of the induction cover 10 along the inner wall of the induction cover 10, it needs to pass through the serrated barbs 13. However, the abdomen of the slug or other mollusk is relatively soft, and when it comes into contact with the serrated barbs 13, it will feel pain and fall back into the induction cover 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, the serrated barbs 13 are provided to prevent slugs and other mollusks trapped inside the induction cover 10 from crawling out again.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the serrated barbs 13 are distributed at equal distances.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the trap 1 further includes a rain cover 20, which is located above the induction cover 10 and is connected to the induction cover 10 through a column 40. Specifically, the rain cover 20 can cover the opening at the top of the induction cover 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, a rainproof cover 20 is provided on the upper surface of the induction cover 10 to prevent external rainwater from entering the interior of the induction cover 10 .

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the trap 1 further includes an insect collecting device 30 , and the outer edge of the insect collecting device 30 is connected to the inside of the side wall 11 of the induction cover 10 .

[0044] Specifically, the outer edge of the insect collecting device 30 is connected to the inner side wall 11 of the induction cover 10, and when slugs and other mollusks fall from the top of the induction cover 10, they will fall on the insect collecting device 30. Therefore, when the trap 1 is lifted, the slugs and other mollusks will not fall to the ground.

[0045] In this embodiment, the provision of the insect collecting device 30 facilitates the collection of slugs and other mollusks.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the trap 1 further includes an insect collecting device 30, which is a hollow cylinder with an upper opening. A horizontal ring 12 is provided at the top of the induction cover 10, and serrated barbs 13 are provided along the inner surface of the ring 12. The lower surface of the ring 12 is connected to the upper surface of the hollow cylinder.

[0047] In this embodiment, the insect collecting device 30 is cylindrical with an opening at the top. When slugs and other mollusks fall from the top of the induction cover 10 , they will fall directly into the inner space of the cylinder, making it easy to disassemble and replace the insect collecting device 30 .

[0048] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an annular protrusion 31 is provided at the bottom of the insect collecting device 30 .

[0049] Specifically, an annular protrusion 31 is provided at the bottom of the insect collecting device 30 , and the annular protrusion 31 forms a relatively independent space at the bottom of the insect collecting device 30 , in which the trapping source can be placed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the placement space of the trapping source is relatively independent, and the annular protrusion 31 can confine the trapping source inside the annular protrusion 31, so that the trapping source is not easily displaced or flowed.

[0051] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the height of the annular protrusion 31 is greater than 0.5 cm.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance from the top of the induction cover 10 to the bottom of the insect collecting device 30 is not less than 3 cm. Specifically, it can be any value greater than 3, such as 3.5 cm, 4.0 cm, 5 cm, or 15 cm.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the serrated barb 13 is not less than 0.5 cm, and the distance from the bottom of the insect trap 30 is not less than 3 cm.

[0054] In this embodiment, the distance between the bottom end of the serrated barb 13 and the bottom of the insect collecting device 30 is not less than 3 cm, so as to prevent slugs and other mollusks from directly crawling out along the vertical surface of the barb.

[0055] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
