Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bee-catching technology, specifically to a retractable wasp trap. Background Technology
[0002] Bee catching is an activity that requires skill and attention. Late spring is the swarming season, which is the best time to catch wild bees. Late summer and early autumn are the seasons when bees abscond, and some bee colonies can also be caught. However, it should be noted that bees are more difficult to raise at this time. The area for catching wild bees should be chosen in places where there are many Chinese honeybees in the surrounding area, because the probability of encountering "wild bees" is higher in these areas. People usually use bee traps as traps to catch wasps to facilitate bee catching.
[0003] Bee traps utilize certain behavioral characteristics of bees, employing specific designs to attract and capture them. The traps typically contain substances that attract bees, such as scents or food sources they like (e.g., apple cider vinegar, honey, and water), luring them inside. Once inside, the bees are captured through specific mechanisms (such as one-way apertures or nets), facilitating subsequent handling. Bee traps should be placed in areas with high bee activity, such as gardens, orchards, and near doors and windows. They should be protected from direct sunlight and rain, and installed on a stable, flat surface. While bee traps are effective bee-catching tools, their use must prioritize legality, safety, and the protection of bees.
[0004] However, traditional wasp traps are often large and difficult to fold or compress, making them inconvenient for operators to carry. Some wasp traps also require complicated setup steps, which increases the difficulty of use. Furthermore, some wasp traps have a fixed design and cannot adapt to beehives of different sizes or shapes, which limits their effectiveness in wasp trapping. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a retractable wasp trap to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable wasp trap to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A retractable wasp trap includes an escape-proof cylinder. The bottom of the escape-proof cylinder has a lower cap. Raised strips are fixedly installed on both sides of the escape-proof cylinder, with the outer surface of each raised strip fitting against the inner wall of the lower cap. Locking strips are fixedly installed on both sides inside the lower cap, with each locking strip fitting against the top surface of each raised strip. Limiting strips are fixedly installed on both sides inside the escape-proof cylinder. A telescopic top cover is slidably connected inside the escape-proof cylinder. A guide ring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer surface of the telescopic top cover, with grooves on both sides of the guide ring. Each limiting strip is slidably connected to each groove. The top of the telescopic top cover extends into the interior of the escape-proof cylinder. Guide tubes are engaged on both sides inside the lower cap at the top of the escape-proof cylinder. A handle is fixedly installed on the top of the telescopic top cover. A lower escape-proof guide tube is installed inside the escape-proof cylinder at the bottom of the telescopic top cover. Several engaging components are provided on the outer surface of the lower escape-proof guide tube to engage with the lower cap.
[0008] Traditional bee catchers are often bulky and difficult to fold or compress, making them inconvenient for operators to carry. Some bee catchers also require complex setup procedures, increasing the difficulty of use. Furthermore, some bee catchers have a fixed design and cannot adapt to beehives of different sizes or shapes, limiting their effectiveness in bee catching. This application addresses this issue by utilizing the interplay between a telescopic top cover and an escape-prevention cylinder. By sliding the telescopic top cover inside the escape-prevention cylinder, the guide ring slides along the outer surface of the limiting strip, allowing adjustment of the cylinder's height. By fully inserting the telescopic top cover into the escape-prevention cylinder, the overall space occupied by the device can be reduced. The device can be folded to reduce its transport volume, making it easy to carry and store. Furthermore, the depth of the telescopic top cover inside the escape-proof cylinder can be adjusted according to the size of the honeycomb, thus adapting the internal space to accommodate different honeycomb sizes and increasing the device's applicability. By interlocking the convex strips and locking strips, the position of the lower cap at the bottom of the escape-proof cylinder can be fixed, allowing for quick connection and fixation of the cylinder and cap. This reduces installation steps, improves work efficiency, and facilitates the opening and closing of the wasp trap.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that each guide tube is tapered.
[0010] Using the above technical solution, some existing bee traps may not have an effective escape prevention mechanism at the inlet, which makes it easy for captured bees to escape. In this application, the guide tube is set into a conical shape, in which the opening on the outside of the guide tube is smaller than the opening on the inside, so as to guide bees into the interior of the escape prevention cylinder, making it easy for bees to enter but difficult for them to exit, thereby increasing the probability of bees entering the interior of the escape prevention cylinder and reducing the possibility of bees escaping.
[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that each locking component includes a locking block, each locking block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lower anti-escape guide tube, and the interior of the lower cap is provided with several locking slots, with each locking block engaging with the interior of each locking slot.
[0012] By employing the above technical solution, the lower anti-escape guide tube and the lower screw cap can be quickly connected and fixed by inserting the card block into the card slot, reducing the installation steps, improving work efficiency, and facilitating the opening and closing of the wasp trap.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that rubber pads are attached to both ends of each limiting strip.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, some existing bee traps may not have an effective escape prevention mechanism at the inlet, which makes it easy for captured bees to escape. In this application, the guide tube is set into a conical shape, in which the opening on the outside of the guide tube is smaller than the opening on the inside, so as to guide bees into the interior of the escape prevention cylinder, making it easy for bees to enter but difficult for them to exit, thereby increasing the probability of bees entering the interior of the escape prevention cylinder and reducing the possibility of bees escaping.
[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that: each rubber pad has several protrusions on its outer surface.
[0016] In the above-mentioned technical solution, after the telescopic top cover is inserted into the anti-escape cylinder, the friction between the limiting strip and the guide ring surface alone is insufficient to limit the position of the telescopic top cover inside the anti-escape cylinder, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the device. In this application, by installing a rubber pad, the friction between the limiting strip surface and the guide ring can be increased. If the telescopic top cover is in contact with the anti-slip ring under external force, the fixing effect of the telescopic top cover at a certain position inside the anti-escape cylinder can be improved.
[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that: each inner surface of each groove at both ends of each limiting strip is provided with an inclined groove, and each inclined groove is an inclined surface that slopes towards the outer end at the top.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting several protrusions on the outer surface of the rubber pad, the movement of the guide ring on the outer surface of the limiting strip can be restricted to a certain extent, thereby further improving the fixing effect of the telescopic top cover at a certain position inside the anti-escape cylinder.
[0019] A further improvement of this utility model is that several anti-slip rings are attached to the outer surface of the anti-escape cylinder at the top of each convex strip.
[0020] In the above-mentioned technical solution, after the guide ring moves to the bottom and separates from the limiting strip, it is not convenient to move the guide ring to the top to just fit the outer surface of the limiting strip, thus affecting the movement of the telescopic top cover. In this application, by setting an inclined groove, the opening size of the top of the guide ring's groove can be increased, so as to fit the guide ring to the outer surface of the limiting strip, thereby facilitating the movement of the telescopic top cover.
[0021] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:
[0022] 1. This utility model provides a retractable wasp trap. Through the cooperation between the retractable top cover and the escape-proof cylinder, the overall space occupied by the device is reduced by fully inserting the retractable top cover into the escape-proof cylinder, thereby reducing the subsequent transportation volume of the device, making it convenient to carry and store. Furthermore, the depth of the retractable top cover inside the escape-proof cylinder can be adjusted according to the actual size of the wasp nest, thereby adjusting the size of the space inside the escape-proof cylinder to accommodate wasp nests of different sizes, thus improving the applicability of the device.
[0023] 2. This utility model provides a retractable wasp trap. By interlocking the convex strip and the locking strip, the escape-proof cylinder and the lower cap can be quickly connected and fixed. Furthermore, by setting the interlocking component, the lower escape-proof guide tube can be quickly connected and fixed to the lower cap, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the wasp trap, reducing the installation steps and improving work efficiency.
[0024] 3. This utility model provides a retractable wasp trap. By setting the guide tube into a conical shape, the guide tube is easy to enter but difficult to exit. After guiding the wasps into the interior of the escape-proof cylinder, it is difficult for the wasps to escape from the guide tube again, thereby increasing the probability of the wasps entering the interior of the escape-proof cylinder and reducing the possibility of the wasps escaping.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a retractable wasp trap, including an escape-proof cylinder 1; a lower cap 2 is provided at the bottom of the escape-proof cylinder 1, and protrusions 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the escape-proof cylinder 1. The outer surface of each protrusion 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the lower cap 2. Locking strips 9 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the lower cap 2, and each locking strip 9 is in contact with the top surface of each protrusion 6. Limiting strips 12 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the escape-proof cylinder 1. A telescopic top cover 3 is slidably connected inside the escape-proof cylinder 1. A guide ring 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer surface of the telescopic top cover 3. The guide ring 13 has grooves on both sides, and each limiting strip 12 is in contact with each sliding strip. The grooves are slidably connected, and the top of the telescopic top cover 3 extends out of the interior of the escape-proof cylinder 1. The two sides of the interior of the lower screw cover 2 at the top of the escape-proof cylinder 1 are engaged with guide tubes 4. The top of the telescopic top cover 3 is fixedly installed with a handle 11. The interior of the escape-proof cylinder 1 at the bottom of the telescopic top cover 3 is provided with a lower escape-proof guide tube 7. The outer surface of the lower escape-proof guide tube 7 is provided with several engaging parts 8 that engage the lower escape-proof guide tube 7 and the lower screw cover 2. Each engaging part 8 includes a locking block 801. Each locking block 801 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lower escape-proof guide tube 7. The interior of the lower screw cover 2 is provided with several slots 802. Each locking block 801 engages with the interior of each slot 802.
[0037] In this embodiment, traditional bee catchers are often large in size, difficult to fold or compress, making them inconvenient for operators to carry. Furthermore, some bee catchers require complex setup steps, increasing the difficulty of use. Others have fixed designs that cannot adapt to beehives of different sizes or shapes, limiting their effectiveness in bee catching. This application addresses this by utilizing the interplay between the telescopic top cover 3 and the escape-proof cylinder 1. By sliding the telescopic top cover 3 inside the escape-proof cylinder 1, the guide ring 13 slides along the outer surface of the limiting strip 12, allowing adjustment of the height of the escape-proof cylinder 1. By fully inserting the telescopic top cover 3 into the escape-proof cylinder 1, the overall space occupied by the device is reduced, enabling folding and thus reducing the required storage space. The device features a compact design for easy transport and storage. Furthermore, the depth of the telescopic top cover 3 within the escape-proof cylinder 1 can be adjusted by the operator to accommodate different sizes of honeycombs, thus expanding the device's applicability. The interlocking of the protruding strip 6 and the locking strip 9 restricts the position of the lower cap 2 at the bottom of the escape-proof cylinder 1, enabling quick connection and fixation of the escape-proof cylinder 1 and the lower cap 2. Additionally, by inserting the locking block 801 into the slot 802, the lower escape-proof guide pipe 7 can be quickly connected and fixed to the lower cap 2, reducing installation steps, improving work efficiency, and facilitating the opening and closing of the wasp trap.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, each guide tube 4 is tapered.
[0040] In this embodiment, some existing bee traps may not have an effective escape prevention mechanism at the inlet, which makes it easy for captured bees to escape. In this application, the guide tube 4 is set in a conical shape, wherein the opening on the outside of the guide tube 4 is smaller than the opening on the inside, so as to guide bees into the interior of the escape prevention cylinder 1, making it easy for the guide tube 4 to enter but difficult to exit, thereby increasing the probability of bees entering the interior of the escape prevention cylinder 1 and reducing the possibility of bees escaping.
[0041] Example 3
[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, based on Embodiment 2, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, each limiting strip 12 has a rubber pad 14 attached to both ends of its surface, each rubber pad 14 has a plurality of protrusions 15 on its outer end surface, and each sliding groove at both ends of each limiting strip 12 has an inclined groove 10 on its inner side surface, each inclined groove 10 being an inclined surface that slopes towards the outer end of the top.
[0043] In this embodiment, after the telescopic top cover 3 is inserted into the anti-escape cylinder 1, the friction between the limiting strip 12 and the guide ring 13 is insufficient to limit the position of the telescopic top cover 3 inside the anti-escape cylinder 1, thus reducing the effectiveness of the device. In this application, the installation of the rubber pad 14 increases the friction between the limiting strip 12 and the guide ring 13. If the telescopic top cover 3 is in contact with the anti-slip ring 5, the fixing effect of the telescopic top cover 3 at a certain position inside the anti-escape cylinder 1 can be improved. By setting several protrusions 15 on the outer surface of the rubber pad 14, the device can achieve a certain degree of stability. The upper limit restricts the movement of the guide ring 13 on the outer surface of the limiting strip 12, thereby further improving the fixing effect of the telescopic top cover 3 at a certain position inside the anti-escape cylinder 1. After the guide ring 13 moves to the bottom and separates from the limiting strip 12, it is not convenient to move the guide ring 13 to the top to just snap it onto the outer surface of the limiting strip 12, thus affecting the movement of the telescopic top cover 3. In this application, by setting the inclined groove 10, the opening size of the top of the groove of the guide ring 13 can be increased, so as to snap the guide ring 13 onto the outer surface of the limiting strip 12, thereby facilitating the movement operation of the telescopic top cover 3.
[0044] Example 4
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, based on embodiment 3, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, a plurality of anti-slip rings 5 are attached to the outer surface of the anti-escape cylinder 1 at the top of each protrusion 6.
[0046] In this embodiment, if the outer surface of the escape-proof cylinder 1 is smooth, the escape-proof cylinder 1 may easily slip out of the operator's hand while the operator is holding it, which may lead to damage to the device. In this application, by setting several anti-slip rings 5, the contact area between the operator's hand and the outer surface of the escape-proof cylinder 1 can be increased, reducing the possibility of the operator's hand sliding with the escape-proof cylinder 1, and achieving an anti-slip effect.
[0047] The working principle of this retractable wasp trap is explained in detail below.
[0048] like Figures 1-7As shown, depending on the actual size of the beehive, the operator slides the telescopic top cover 3 inside the escape-proof cylinder 1, causing the guide ring 13 to slide along the outer surface of the limiting strip 12, thus adjusting the internal space of the escape-proof cylinder 1 to accommodate beehives of different sizes. The operator places the substance that attracts bees inside the lower cover 2, then inserts the locking block 801 into the lower cover 2, and then engages the protrusion 6 with the locking strip 9 to fix the lower cover 2 in place. After being attracted, the bees can enter the interior of the escape-proof cylinder 1 through the guide tube 4, thus completing the bee-catching operation. After using the device, the operator can press the telescopic top cover 3 to the bottom, causing the guide ring 13 to slide along the limiting strip 12, thereby retracting the telescopic top cover 3 into the interior of the escape-proof cylinder 1, folding the device for easy carrying and storage.
[0049] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
