Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of devices for eliminating harmful animals and plants, in particular to a walking tick catcher. Background Art

[0002] Ticks are commonly found in forests, grasslands, livestock pens, cracks in human homes, and bird nests. Besides causing pests to animals and livestock, they also parasitize humans and feed on their blood, causing many bites to contract various infectious diseases such as fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome and forest encephalitis, which can even be fatal. Tick surveillance is crucial to understanding tick species, distribution, and seasonal fluctuations, as well as collecting ticks for pathogen testing, to effectively control the spread of tick-borne diseases. Current methods of monitoring tick species and distribution involve disease control personnel wearing protective clothing, masks, and gloves, carrying white cloth flags, and dragging them through grass and bushes. Ticks are then carefully picked up with tweezers, placed in test tubes, and numbered and categorized. This method is inefficient, requires uncontrolled speed, and prevents long-term tick collection to obtain sufficient samples for tick pathogen testing. Furthermore, there is a risk of tick bites if improper protection is not provided. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model discloses a walking tick catcher. The catcher comprises a cloth flag 2 mounted on a support frame 3, which is a horizontal rectangular frame within which the cloth flag 2 is mounted. Tick scraping mechanisms are disposed on both the upper and lower sides of the cloth flag 2 and are slidably connected to the support frame 3 in a front-to-back direction. The tick scraping mechanisms include a tick scraping plate 10, with a rubber pad mounted on the end of the plate where it contacts the cloth flag.

[0027] Two rectangular holes are symmetrically machined into the left and right side walls of the support frame 3. The upper and lower rectangular holes on each side are located on the upper and lower sides of the cloth flag 2, respectively. A screw rod 4 is rotatably mounted in each of the two left rectangular holes. This screw rod is threadably connected to a nut 5, which is connected to the left end of the scratching plate 10. A guide rod is mounted in each of the two right rectangular holes. The left end of the scratching plate 10 is provided with a through hole, through which the guide rod extends.

[0028] Screw rod 4 extends outward through the exterior of support frame 3. A pulley is mounted on the screw rod portion located outside support frame 3. A drive motor 6 is mounted on the side of the support frame. Upper and lower screw pulleys 9 and 8 are connected to the pulley outside drive motor 6 via a timing belt 7. Rotation of the drive motor drives the pulleys, which in turn drives screw rod 4. Driven by the screw nut and guided by the guide rod, the tick scraper moves back and forth along the fabric flag 2, scraping any ticks stuck to it into a storage box 16 at the end of the support frame.

[0029] A height adjustment mechanism is provided between the support frame 3 and the trolley. The mechanism comprises an adjustment motor 12, a swing arm 11, a connecting plate 13, and an adapter frame 14. The adjustment motor 12 is mounted on the side wall of the trolley. The swing arm 11 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the trolley and is coaxially connected to the adjustment motor 12. Two connecting plates 13 are mounted on the swing arm, and the other ends of the connecting plates 13 are connected to the adapter frame 14. The adapter frame is a horizontal U-shaped structure, the opening of which fits neatly on the left and right sides of the support frame 3. A displacement sensor is installed at the bottom of the support frame. When the displacement sensor detects that the support frame is too close or too far from the ground during the movement of the trolley, it sends a signal to the control center, which controls the drive motor to rotate to a set angle to achieve the purpose of obstacle avoidance and height adjustment.

[0030] The trolley comprises a body with four legs mounted on either side of the lower portion. Each leg has a wheel mounted on its lower end. The four wheels on each side collectively support a track 17, which provides stability and adaptability to uneven surfaces. The legs are height-adjustable and telescopic, allowing the ground clearance of the trolley to be adjusted based on the height of the lawn. The trolley's travel speed and duration can be adjusted as needed, enabling long-term tick capture to obtain sufficient samples for tick etiology testing.

[0031] The capturer is also equipped with a navigation system, which includes sensors installed on the front end and left and right sides of the support frame and a controller installed inside the walking trolley. The sensor is a visual sensor. When the sensor detects an obstacle in front or on both sides, the controller receives and reads the sensor's sensing signal and adjusts the running direction of the walking trolley according to the signal.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] In this embodiment, the cloth flag is made of photosensitive material, and the number of ticks can be counted based on the light changes and morphological characteristics on the surface of the cloth flag after the ticks land on the cloth flag, thereby directly calculating the number of ticks.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
