DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 A novel red imported fire ant attracting device includes an outer sleeve 1 and an inner cylinder 2 that are fitted together vertically. The bottom of the inner cylinder 2 has four ant-entry openings 4 on each side, and the outer sleeve 1 has two ant-entry openings 5 on each side of the inner cylinder 2, corresponding to and communicating with the ant-entry openings 4. The device also includes:
[0028] An anti-running guide structure is set in the four ant entry ports 4 on the corresponding sides of the inner cylinder 2. This anti-running guide structure is used to guide the red imported fire ants into the inner cylinder 2 and prevent them from running out.
[0029] A rotating snap-fit structure is provided at the top joint of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner cylinder 2. This rotating snap-fit structure is used to adjust the connection relationship between the outer sleeve 1 and the inner cylinder 2 in three states during use.
[0030] The outer sleeve 1 is open at the bottom, and the inner cylinder 2 is open at the top. An integrated boss ring 3 is fixed at the bottom of the outer surface of the inner cylinder 2, and the bottom of the outer sleeve 1 is in contact with the boss ring 3 on the inner cylinder 2.
[0031] The anti-escape guide structure includes climbing boards 6 and drop boards 7. The bottom inner walls of the inner cylinder 2 corresponding to the four ant entry ports 4 are all fixed with integrated climbing boards 6. The four sets of climbing boards 6 in the inner cylinder 2 are inclined with their tops converging towards the center. Each set of climbing boards 6 has a downwardly inclined and bent drop board 7 fixed at its top. The bottom of the drop board 7 is higher than the bottom inner wall of the inner cylinder 2. The height of the two sides of each set of climbing boards 6 overlapping with the two sides of the inner walls of each set of ant entry ports 4 is greater than half the height of the ant entry ports 4. This can prevent red imported fire ants from escaping out of the inner cylinder 2 through the gaps between the climbing boards 6 and the two sides of the ant entry ports 4.
[0032] The bottom of each group of ant inlets 4 is provided with a corresponding notch on the protruding ring body 3, and the bottom of the outer surface of the climbing plate 6 extends downward along the notch on the protruding ring body 3 to the bottom of the supporting inner cylinder 2, which facilitates the climbing of red imported fire ants.
[0033] The bottom outer wall of the inner cylinder 2 is connected by threads to a number of sets of equally spaced ring-shaped ground stakes 8, and the bottom of the ground stakes 8 are pointed. The device can be fixed to the ground by inserting the multiple sets of ground stakes 8. When carrying, the ground stakes 8 can be unscrewed and removed for subsequent unscrewing and installation.
[0034] The rotating clamping structure comprises a curved groove 9, a curved groove 10, a curved groove 11, a clamping arc plate 13 and a magnet piece 15. The top end of the bearing inner cylinder 2 is provided with the curved groove 9, the curved groove 10 and the curved groove 11 in sequence. The curved groove 9, the curved groove 10 and the curved groove 11 are centrally symmetrical. The inner wall of the top end of the shell sleeve 1 is provided with the clamping arc plate 13 which is integrally clamped in the curved groove 9. The side wall of the bearing inner cylinder 2 is provided with the limiting groove 12 which extends to both sides. The bottom end of the clamping arc plate 13 is provided with the limiting arc plate 14 which is integrally clamped in the limiting groove 12. The opening width of the curved groove 9 and the curved groove 10 is the same. The opening width of the curved groove 11 is greater than the opening width of the curved groove 9 and the curved groove 10. The opening width of the curved groove 11 is the same as the width of the limiting arc plate 14. The side wall of the clamping arc plate 13 and the side wall of the curved groove 10 are provided with the magnet piece 15 which can be magnetically attracted.
[0035] The opening length of the curved groove 9, the curved groove 10 and the curved groove 11 is the same and greater than the opening width of the ant hole 4. The sum of the opening length of the curved groove 9, the curved groove 10 and the curved groove 11 is less than the interval distance between the adjacent two groups of ant holes 4. When the shell sleeve 1 is rotated, the clamping arc plate 13 and the limiting arc plate 14 are completely rotated into the curved groove 10. The bottom area of the shell sleeve 1 can be attached to the ant hole 4 of the bearing inner cylinder 2. During the rotation of the shell sleeve 1 along the curved groove 10 and the curved groove 11, the position of the ant hole 5 of the shell sleeve 1 and the ant hole 4 of the bearing inner cylinder 2 do not coincide again.
[0036] Working principle: when the red ants are captured outdoors, the red ant trapping device can be fixed on the ground by inserting the groups of ground stakes 8 at the bottom end of the bearing inner cylinder 2 into the ground. The bottom end of the bearing inner cylinder 2 is attached to the ground. At this time, the bottom end of the four sides of the climbing plate 6 in the bearing inner cylinder 2 is also attached to the ground. Then the red ants can climb through the ant hole 5 on the shell sleeve 1 and the ant hole 4 on the bearing inner cylinder 2 and along the climbing plate 6. The inclined design of the climbing plate 6 and the extension of the bottom end of the climbing plate 6 to the bottom end of the bearing inner cylinder 2 can facilitate the climbing of the red ants. After the red ants climb along the climbing plate 6 and the falling plate 7 to the inside of the bearing inner cylinder 2, they will fall to the bottom end of the inside of the bearing inner cylinder 2 during the climbing process along the falling plate 7. The bottom end of the falling plate 7 is higher than the bottom end of the inner wall of the bearing inner cylinder 2. The height of the two sides of each climbing plate 6 and the height of the two sides of each ant hole 4 are greater than half of the height of the ant hole 4. This can prevent the red ants from escaping from the bearing inner cylinder 2 through the gap between the climbing plate 6 and the ant hole 4.
[0037] After a period of trapping, the worker can rotate the shell sleeve 1 to the direction of the second curved groove 10 when taking the red ant trapping device, and after the clamping arc plate 13 and the limiting arc plate 14 are completely rotated into the second curved groove 10, the shell sleeve 1 and the bearing inner cylinder 2 can be preliminarily fixed through the magnet piece 15 on the side of the clamping arc plate 13 and the magnet piece 15 at the inner wall of the second curved groove 10. At this time, the position of the second ant inlet 5 on the shell sleeve 1 is staggered with the position of the first ant inlet 4 on the bearing inner cylinder 2, so that the bottom area of the shell sleeve 1 can be attached to the first ant inlet 4 on the bearing inner cylinder 2. The red ant can be further prevented from escaping from the bearing inner cylinder 2, and when the device is taken after trapping, the worker first rotates the shell sleeve 1, and the second ant inlet 5 and the first ant inlet 4 at the bottom end of the device are not in contact, so that the red ant can be prevented from biting the worker when the device is taken, and the safety of the device is improved. The device can be pulled away from the ground, and the multiple groups of ground insertion piles 8 at the bottom end of the bearing inner cylinder 2 can be twisted off for carrying, improving the practicality and safety of the device when in use.
[0038] When sampling after red ant trapping or baiting before red ant trapping, the shell sleeve 1 can be rotated so that the clamping arc plate 13 and the limiting arc plate 14 at the top end of the shell sleeve 1 are completely located in the third curved groove 11, and the shell sleeve 1 and the bearing inner cylinder 2 can be separated up and down, improving the convenience of the device.
[0039] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and modifications can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
