Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for collecting eggs of the natural enemy ear bug, belonging to the field of ear bug farming tools. Background Technology

[0002] Like other large predatory bugs such as the black-eared bug and the beneficial bug, the ear bug preys on important agricultural and forestry pests, such as the fall armyworm, armyworm, beet armyworm, and pine caterpillar. It is a predatory insect with broad application prospects in the field of biological pest control. However, in ear bug rearing, the egg-laying behavior of females in the rearing cages differs significantly from that of black-eared bugs and beneficial bugs. Black-eared bugs mainly lay their eggs on gauze placed in the rearing cage, while beneficial bugs mainly lay their eggs on yellow straw paper. Ear bugs, however, have poor egg-laying efficiency on both of these mediums, with only a few eggs laid at a time, and the rest scattered on the gauze of the rearing cage walls. This fails to achieve the effect of concentrated egg-laying in a fixed location, thus requiring a large amount of manual labor to collect the egg masses, thus increasing rearing costs.

[0003] In other words, there is a need for a device for collecting ear bug eggs, which can facilitate the collection of ear bug eggs and reduce the labor burden. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for the centralized collection of ear bug eggs, which can facilitate the collection of ear bug eggs, reduce the labor burden, and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0010] The aforementioned horizontal clamping plate includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, and serrated protrusions that facilitate clamping are distributed on the clamping surfaces of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.

[0011] As mentioned above, the left and right ends of the first and second clamps are confined within the bayonet opening.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model, through the base and horizontal net, allows the ear bug to climb upwards and lay eggs on the burlap when it needs to lay eggs; the method of fixing the burlap with a vertical frame can avoid the damage caused by installing burlap on the breeding cage.

[0014] 2. The base and horizontal net allow the ear bugs to climb upwards and lay their eggs on the burlap when they need to. The vertical frame that secures the burlap to the cages prevents damage caused by installing the burlap.

[0015] 3. The horizontal bar has locking holes on its upper side, which are distributed along the longitudinal direction of the horizontal bar. The vertical frame includes a vertical bar with a locking hole. A horizontal clamp is provided between the upper ends of the vertical bars on the left and right sides. The upper end of the linen is movably connected to the horizontal clamp. The locking holes and the vertical bar are used to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the vertical bar. At the same time, the horizontal clamp is used to hold the upper end of the linen.

[0016] 4. The horizontal clamping plate includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. The clamping surfaces of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are provided with serrated protrusions that facilitate clamping. In this way, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can easily clamp the linen, and the serrated protrusions help to improve the clamping effect.

[0017] 5. Furthermore, a latch is provided at the upper end of the vertical rod, and the left and right ends of the first and second clamping plates are limited within the latch. The latch can limit the first and second clamping plates after clamping the burlap, maintaining the clamping effect. At the same time, it is also convenient to install and remove the burlap, which is beneficial to replace the burlap with a new one after the burlap is full of ear bug eggs for recollection.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a device for collecting eggs of the ear bug, a natural enemy. It includes a base 1, a horizontal net 2 for the ear bug to pass through, vertical frames 3 distributed on the horizontal net 2, and a burlap 4 for the ear bug to attach and lay eggs on the vertical frames 3. Through continuous screening of egg-laying media during rearing, the applicant discovered that ear bugs prefer to lay eggs on a type of coarse burlap slab, and the egg collection efficiency varies significantly depending on the placement of the burlap slab. Hanging the burlap slab on the top or wall of the rearing cage yields the highest egg collection efficiency. However, hanging the burlap slab in the rearing cage is cumbersome. It requires bending an insect needle, hanging the burlap slab, piercing the cage wall with the other end of the needle, and then hanging it again. After the slab is covered with eggs, the needle is removed, and finally the burlap slab is taken down. This process involves five steps: bending, hanging, piercing, hanging, and removing, which is time-consuming and damages the rearing cage, reducing its usability. Therefore, an efficient device for collecting egg masses is needed. Therefore, the burlap 4 helps to attract ear bugs to attach and concentrate on laying eggs, making it easy to collect them. At the same time, the base 1 and the horizontal net 2 allow the ear bugs to climb upwards when they need to lay eggs, thus laying eggs on the burlap 4. The method of fixing the burlap 4 with the vertical frame 3 can avoid the damage caused by installing the burlap 4 on the breeding cage.

[0026] Furthermore, horizontal rods 5 are provided on the left and right sides of the horizontal mesh 2, and the base 1 is located at both ends of the horizontal rods 5; screw holes 6 are distributed at both ends of the horizontal rods 5, and screws 7 that cooperate with the screw holes 6 are provided on the end side of the base 1. This structure facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the horizontal rods 5 and the base 1 through the screws 7 and screw holes 6.

[0027] Furthermore, a locking hole 8 is provided on the upper side of the horizontal rod 5, and the locking holes 8 are distributed along the longitudinal direction of the horizontal rod 5. The vertical frame 3 includes a vertical rod 9 provided on the locking hole 8, and a horizontal clamping plate 10 is provided between the upper ends of the vertical rods 9 on the left and right sides. The upper end of the burlap 4 is movably connected to the horizontal clamping plate 10. The locking hole 8 and the vertical rod 9 are connected to each other, which is conducive to the installation and disassembly of the vertical rod 9. At the same time, the horizontal clamping plate 10 is conducive to clamping the upper end of the burlap 4. The lower end of the burlap is in contact with the horizontal net 2, which is conducive to the climbing of the ear bug.

[0028] Specifically, the horizontal clamping plate 10 includes a first clamping plate 11 and a second clamping plate 12. The clamping surfaces of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are provided with serrated protrusions 13 that facilitate clamping. In this way, the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 can easily clamp the linen 4, while the serrated protrusions 13 help to improve the clamping effect.

[0029] Furthermore, a latch 14 is provided at the upper end of the vertical rod 9. The left and right ends of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are limited within the latch 14. The latch 14 can limit the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 after clamping the burlap 4, maintaining the clamping effect. At the same time, it is also convenient to install and remove the burlap 4, which is beneficial to replace the burlap 4 with a new one after the burlap 4 is full of ear bug eggs for re-collection.

[0030] When the ear bugs begin laying eggs, the assembled device can be placed in the rearing cage to easily collect egg masses. Once the burlap strip is full of eggs, the horizontal clamp 10 can be removed and replaced with burlap 4 to continue collecting egg masses. Furthermore, vertical frames 3 can be movably installed on the horizontal rod 5, similar to the movable comb troughs in beekeeping. The number of vertical frames 3 can be adjusted according to the number of ear bugs. This invention is convenient to use, easy to operate, has good stability, facilitates the collection of ear bug eggs, and causes no damage to the rearing cage.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to restrict the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model and based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
