Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect diversity survey technology, and in particular to an insect diversity trapping device for forestry and grassland surveys. Background Technology
[0002] Insects are the most abundant animals in the world, with over one million species discovered—more than all other animal species combined. Therefore, insects are an important component of global biodiversity and a key focus of biodiversity conservation research in recent years. Sample collection is necessary during insect biodiversity surveys.
[0003] Currently, the most common trapping devices on the market are those that are suspended high up to trap flying insects. However, during insect diversity surveys, there are also many crawling insects on the ground. Trapping devices suspended high up cannot trap crawling insects on the ground, and there are currently no devices specifically designed to effectively trap crawling insects on the ground. Therefore, this paper proposes an insect diversity trapping device for forestry and grassland surveys to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example
[0027] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an insect diversity trapping device for forestry and grassland surveys includes a collection box 1 and a storage cylinder 13. A placement groove 16 is provided on the inner side of one end of the collection box 1. The storage cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom end of the collection box 1. A rotating cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the entrance of the collection box 1. Ventilation holes 7 are provided on the inner sides of all four sides of the rotating cylinder 6. A cylindrical intercepting net 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating cylinder 6. The ventilation holes 7 ensure that the insect attractant inside the storage tube 19 can be dispersed from the inner side of the rotating cylinder 6, and the intercepting net 8 prevents insects from entering the inner side of the rotating cylinder 6 through the ventilation holes 7. A rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating cylinder 6, and an insect attracting mechanism is provided on the inner side of the rotating cylinder 6. A fixing block 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the collection box 1, and a scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing block 15, and the scraper 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder 6.
[0028] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating mechanism includes a sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the collection box 1. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sleeve 2. A rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the main shaft of the motor 4. The rotating shaft 5 passes through the sleeve 2 and is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating cylinder 6. A protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the motor 4. The motor 4 is a speed-reducing silent motor, which allows the motor 4 to slowly rotate the rotating cylinder 6 through the rotating shaft 5, ensuring that insects can avoid hitting the outside of the rotating cylinder 6. The length of the sleeve 2 and the rotating shaft 5 can be designed according to the actual use, and the length can be 0.5 meters, 1 meter, etc., to ensure that the sound generated by the motor 4 when it is working will not affect the insects.
[0029] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the insect-attracting mechanism includes an anti-slip sleeve 18 that engages with the placement groove 16. A plug 17 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the anti-slip sleeve 18. A storage tube 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the plug 17, and the storage tube 19 extends into the inner side of the rotating cylinder 6. The storage tube 19 rotates relative to the rotating cylinder 6. Insect attractant is placed inside both the storage cylinder 13 and the storage tube 19. The insect attractant attracts insects to the inner side of the collection box 1 and the outer side of the rotating cylinder 6. At the same time, the rotating cylinder 6 rotates slowly. When the rotating cylinder 6 rotates, it rotates relative to the scraper 14. The scraper 14 scrapes the insects attached to the outer side of the rotating cylinder 6 to the inner side of the collection box 1, where they are collected. The insect attractant inside the storage cylinder 13 can also increase the time that insects stay inside the collection box 1, thus retaining the insects.
[0030] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 6As shown, a light strip 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the storage tube 19. The light strip 20 can also attract insects at night by taking advantage of their phototaxis, thereby improving the insect-attracting effect of the device and the versatility of its use.
[0031] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 1, and adhesive cardboard 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle 10 and the inner side of the top of the collection box 1. The adhesive cardboard 9 can prevent insects from crawling out along the inner wall of the collection box 1, thereby increasing the accuracy of the survey.
[0032] As a further improvement to this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting shell 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 1, and a storage battery 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting shell 11. The storage battery 12 can provide power to the electrical appliances of this device.
[0033] Workflow: When trapping ground insects, first place insect attractant inside the storage cylinder 13 and storage tube 19. Then, place the storage tube 19 inside the rotating cylinder 6, and simultaneously engage the stopper 17 with the collection box 1 via the anti-slip sleeve 18 and the placement groove 16 to limit and fix the rotating cylinder 6. Next, dig a pit in the ground large enough to accommodate the collection box 1 and sleeve 2, and place the collection box 1 inside the pit, ensuring the top surface of the collection box 1 is flush with the ground to facilitate insects climbing onto it. Simultaneously, the motor 4 slowly rotates the rotating cylinder 6 via the rotating shaft 5. Under the influence of the insect attractant, the insects will crawl towards the collection box 1 and the rotating cylinder 6. When insects crawl to the outside of the rotating drum 6, as the rotating drum 6 and the scraper 14 rotate relative to each other, the scraper 14 will scrape the insects on the outside of the rotating drum 6 to the inside of the collection box 1. The insects are collected in a concentrated manner through the collection box 1. The insect attractant inside the storage cylinder 13 can also increase the time that insects stay inside the collection box 1, thus retaining the insects. The sticky cardboard 9 can prevent insects from crawling out along the inner wall of the collection box 1, increasing the accuracy of the survey. The light strip 20 can also attract insects at night by taking advantage of their phototaxis, improving the insect attraction effect of this device and the versatility of its use. The light will also be emitted outward through the interception net 8 and the ventilation hole 7.
