[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a fruit fly attractant box, including a box body 1. The box body 1 is designed as a hollow structure with an open top. A box cover 2 is detachably provided on the top of the box body 1 to close the top opening of the box body 1. The box cover 2 has several evenly distributed holes 3 for fruit flies to pass through. Several connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box cover 2 along its diagonal. A bowl-shaped base 5 is fixedly connected between the ends of the connecting rods 4 away from the box cover 2. An attractant insecticide 6 is placed inside the bowl-shaped base 5.
[0026] In this embodiment, the diameter of the channel 3 decreases gradually from the top of the cover 2 to the bottom of the cover 2 along the axial direction of the channel 3. The gradually decreasing diameter of the channel 3 will not affect the fruit flies from passing through the channel 3 into the box 1, and can also prevent the fruit flies from escaping.
[0027] In this embodiment, the attractant insecticide 6 contains fruit flavoring, paste yeast, brown sugar, vinegar, xanthan gum and other attractants, and 1% trichlorfon is added. It has a good attraction effect and a good killing effect, attracting fruit flies to feed and eventually killing them.
[0028] In this embodiment, the length, width and height of the box body 1 are 7cm, 7cm and 4cm respectively. Square holes 7 are provided on the four side walls inside the box body 1. The bottom of the box cover 2 is provided with two grooves 8 and receiving slots 9 located in the two grooves 8. A lightweight plate 10 is slidably arranged in each groove 8. A plug rod 11 is inserted and fixedly connected to the center of the lightweight plate 10. One end of the plug rod 11 passes through the box cover 2 and is inserted into the square hole 7. The other end of the plug rod 11 extends into the receiving slot 9. A spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 8 and sleeved on the outside of the plug rod 11. One end of the spring 12 abuts against the lightweight plate 10. The plug rod 11 is inserted into the square hole 7 to realize the connection between the box cover 2 and the box body 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, a counterweight 13 is provided in the receiving groove 9, and a control member 14 is provided on the top of the box cover 2. The bottom end of the control member 14 passes through the box cover 2 and is fixedly connected to the counterweight 13. The counterweight 13, under the action of gravity alone, squeezes the insertion rod 11 into the square hole 7. The counterweight 13 squeezes the insertion rod 11 to ensure that the insertion rod 11 is inserted into the square hole 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, the end of the insertion rod 11 located in the receiving groove 9 is provided with an inclined slope, and the bottom of the counterweight 13 is provided with a tapered surface that tapers downward. The tapered surface of the counterweight 13 and the inclined slope of the insertion rod 11 are provided. Alternatively, a pulley that contacts the counterweight 13 can be provided at the end of the insertion rod 11, as long as it is ensured that the counterweight 13 can squeeze the insertion rod 11 and move the insertion rod 11.
[0031] How to use and how to work this device:
[0032] When using the device, the attractant insecticide 6 is placed inside the bowl-shaped base 5. The control element 14 is lifted, the counterweight 13 does not compress the insertion rod 11, and the spring 12 is in its natural state. The bowl-shaped base 5 with the attractant insecticide 6 is moved into the box body 1, and the box lid 2 closes the box body 1. The control element 14 is released, causing the counterweight 13 to move downwards under gravity. The counterweight 13 contacts the insertion rod 11 and pushes the insertion rod 11 to move. The insertion rod 11 moves into the square hole 7 and drives the lightweight plate 10 to compress the spring 12. The cooperation between the insertion rod 11 and the square hole 7 connects the box lid 2 and the box body 1.
[0033] The attractant insecticide 6 can attract fruit flies. The fruit flies enter the box 1 through the hole 3, and the 1% trichlorfon in the attractant insecticide 6 can effectively lure the fruit flies to feed and eventually kill them. After a period of time, the counterweight 13 can be moved upward by pulling the control part 14. The counterweight 13 will no longer squeeze the insertion rod 11. Under the action of the spring 12, the lightweight plate 10 is pushed to move the insertion rod 11. The insertion rod 11 separates from the square hole 7, and the box cover 2 can be removed. After the box cover 2 is removed, the attractant insecticide 6 can be replaced, and the dead fruit flies in the box 1 can be cleaned. It saves time and effort, does not require spraying pesticides, and has a compact overall structure that can be placed in a corner where it is not seen and does not affect the aesthetics.
