Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pest traps, specifically to a core structure for attracting termites. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are a type of insect widely distributed globally, known for their destructive power and stealth. They not only harm crops and trees but also bore into the internal structure of river embankments and reservoir dams, leading to leakage and collapse, and causing severe flooding. Therefore, termite extermination is crucial in parks, scenic areas, dams, and reservoirs. Attracting termites before extermination is a vital step, as it effectively concentrates the termite colony, improves extermination efficiency, reduces environmental impact, and ensures complete eradication.

[0003] Existing termite attracting devices mostly consist of a core structure with attractant strips inside a shell. The shell is usually cylindrical, and to make full use of space, the core is often also designed to be cylindrical. Chinese patents CN101897326B (Termite Control System) and CN103444672B (Termite Monitoring and Attracting Device) both use this structure. The applicant has discovered the following problems with the core structure using the above-mentioned design:

[0004] 1. The efficiency of attracting termites is low, and the number of termites attracted within a certain period of time is small;

[0005] 2. Because the sides of the core are upright, it is not convenient to observe and monitor the termite attraction from the opening at the top of the shell. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a core structure for attracting termites, in order to solve the problem that the existing core structure is a straight cylindrical core structure, which makes it inconvenient to observe and monitor the termite attraction from the top opening of the shell.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A core structure for attracting termites includes a lure core and a positioning device. The lure core is mounted on the positioning device and is arranged in a manner that gradually contracts inward from the shell. The lure core can extend out of the shell or rest against the shell.

[0009] In this utility model, "inward" refers to the space enclosed by the lure core.

[0010] The lure of this invention is arranged in a manner that gradually tapers inward from the shell, increasing the projection of the lure on the top surface and facilitating observation and monitoring of termite attraction from above. The lure can extend beyond the shell, further increasing its attraction to external termites and improving the efficiency of termite attraction.

[0011] The advantages of this solution are:

[0012] 1. Facilitates the observation and monitoring of termites.

[0013] The lure is arranged in a way that gradually tapers inward from the shell, making good use of the lateral space. The obstruction between the lure and the lure itself is small, which makes it easy to observe and monitor the termite attraction from the top opening of the shell, and to promptly discover new termite colonies or activity areas.

[0014] 2. Improved the efficiency of attracting termites.

[0015] The lure cores are installed at a reasonable density and can extend out of the shell, attracting more termites into the core structure and greatly improving the efficiency of attracting termites.

[0016] Furthermore, the lure core includes a main lure bar and a secondary lure bar. The positioning device is a placement frame that gradually tapers from top to bottom into a cone shape. The placement frame includes an annular top plate and a bottom plate, which are connected by a support rod. The top plate has multiple delivery ports, and the bottom plate has multiple positioning slots. The positioning slots are closer to the center of the placement frame than the delivery ports. The space between the delivery ports and the positioning slots is used to place the main lure bar. One end of the main lure bar is inserted into the positioning slot, and the other end is inserted into the delivery port. The main lure bar is inclined inward from top to bottom. The secondary lure bar is movably connected to the bottom plate, arranged laterally, and can extend towards the side of the shell.

[0017] This structure can be widely used in outdoor termite attracting devices, i.e., termite attracting devices installed on the ground. A space for the main attractant strip is formed between the placement opening and the positioning slot on the placement frame. The main attractant strip can be quickly installed through the positioning slot and the placement opening. The positioning slot is closer to the center of the placement frame than the placement opening. The placement frame gradually tapers into a cone shape from top to bottom. The main attractant strip is inclined inwards from top to bottom. Compared to an upright attractant, the projection area of ​​the main attractant strip on the top surface is enlarged, making it easier to observe and monitor the termite attraction from the top cover of the shell, and to promptly detect new termite colonies or activity areas. To better attract outdoor termites, a secondary attractant strip that can extend from the shell is also provided, allowing outdoor termites to enter the termite attracting device along the secondary attractant strip.

[0018] Furthermore, the secondary decoys are arranged in a divergent pattern, allowing for the deployment of even more secondary decoys.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the positioning groove has ventilation holes, with one end of the secondary attractant strip located directly below the ventilation holes and the other end extending towards the side of the shell. The main attractant strip can release its odor through the ventilation holes, while simultaneously creating the shortest channel for termites to travel from the secondary attractant strip to the main attractant strip, facilitating faster termite attraction.

[0020] Furthermore, to ensure the observation and monitoring of termites, the main attractant strip is angled at 30°-60°.

[0021] Furthermore, there are 8 main decoys and 8 secondary decoys, which makes better use of the space inside the main decoys and the shell.

[0022] Furthermore, the lure core includes multiple sets of horizontally arranged first and second lures. The positioning device is a connecting net composed of multiple connecting lines. Both the first and second lures are connected to the connecting net. The first and second lures are L-shaped together. The second lures overlap the first lures. The multiple sets of first and second lures are arranged in a staggered, inward-receding manner. The outer ends of the first and second lures can extend out of the shell.

[0023] In this utility model, the outer ends of the first and second attracting strips refer to the ends where the first and second attracting strips do not overlap.

[0024] This structure can be widely used in indoor termite attracting devices, specifically wall-mounted termite attracting devices. The first and second attractant strips form an L-shape, with multiple sets of first and second attractant strips arranged in a staggered, recessed manner. Most sides of the first and second attractant strips can project onto the top surface, facilitating observation and monitoring of termite attraction from the opening at the top of the casing, allowing for timely detection of new termite colonies or activity areas. The outer ends of the first and second attractant strips can extend beyond the casing and abut against the wall, allowing termites to enter the termite attracting device from the wall via the first and second attractant strips.

[0025] Furthermore, since the first and second attractant strips are perpendicular to each other, their outer ends are also perpendicular to each other, allowing them to be installed flush against the wall at a corner. For termite attracting devices, installation at a corner wall is more concealed and more effective at attracting termites. This structure is better suited for indoor termite attracting devices.

[0026] Furthermore, both the first and second guide strips are provided with mounting slots that can be snapped into the connecting wires. The connection method between the first and second guide strips and the connecting net is snap-fit. The snap-fit ​​method is more efficient and flexible.

[0027] Furthermore, the number of sets of the first and second decoy strips is 3-5, which can better utilize the space between the first and second decoy strips. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0033] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include:

[0034] Example 1: Placement rack 101, main guide bar 102, secondary guide bar 103, top plate 104, bottom plate 105, shell 106.

[0035] Example 2: First attractant strip 201, second attractant strip 202, connecting line 203, outer shell 204.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A core structure for attracting termites, primarily used in outdoor termite attracting devices, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a placement rack 101, a main guide bar 102, and a secondary guide bar 103 located within the housing 106.

[0038] The placement rack 101 includes a circular top plate 104 and a bottom plate 105, which are concentrically arranged. The diameter of the top plate 104 is larger than that of the bottom plate 105. The top plate 104 and the bottom plate 105 are connected by a support rod. The top plate 104 is provided with multiple delivery ports, and the bottom plate 105 is provided with multiple positioning slots. The bottom of the positioning slots has ventilation holes. The positioning slots are located inside the delivery ports. The delivery ports and positioning slots form a space for placing the main guide bar 102. The placement rack 101 gradually tapers from top to bottom into a cone shape.

[0039] There are eight main lure bars 102, evenly distributed on the top plate 104 and the bottom plate 105. The top end of each main lure bar 102 is inserted into a positioning groove, and the bottom end is inserted into a delivery port. The shape and size of the delivery port and the positioning groove match the main lure bar 102. The main lure bars 102 are inclined inward from top to bottom at an angle of 45°.

[0040] There are eight auxiliary guide bars 103, which are arranged in a radiating pattern. Their centers coincide with the centers of the top plate 104 and the bottom plate 105. One end of the auxiliary guide bar 103 is located directly below the air vent, and the other end extends toward the side of the housing 106.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 106 used in conjunction with the core structure is cylindrical. The core structure is snapped into the housing 106. The bottom surface of the housing 106 has drainage holes and mounting bolts, so the housing 106 can be directly installed on the ground without the need for a base. The side of the housing 106 has an opening for the secondary guide bar 103 to extend out. The secondary guide bar 103 can extend out of the housing 106. Since there is no base at the bottom of the housing 106, the secondary guide bar 103 is close to the ground. The opening on the housing 106 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional size of the secondary guide bar 103.

[0042] The design concept of this core structure in conjunction with the housing 106 is as follows:

[0043] The secondary attractant 103 extends outside the shell 106, close to the ground, effectively attracting surrounding termites. Because the opening on the shell 106 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional size of the secondary attractant 103, termites can enter the shell 106 through the gap at the opening. The secondary attractant 103 is tightly connected to the main attractant 102, allowing termites to easily climb it. The inclined design of the main attractant 102 further facilitates termite climbing, significantly improving the efficiency of attracting termites. The main attractant 102 is inclined inward at a 45° angle, increasing its projection surface. This makes it easier to observe and monitor termite attraction, whether using manual methods or image acquisition technology, allowing for the selection of a favorable time for extermination.

[0044] The installation method of this core is also very simple. First, place the secondary lure 103 inside the housing 106, then put the main lure 102 into the placement frame 101, then align the main lure 102 with the secondary lure 103, place the placement frame 101 on the secondary lure 103, and finally cover the top of the housing 106.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] A core structure for attracting termites, primarily used in outdoor termite attracting devices, such as... Figure 3As shown, the device includes four sets of horizontally arranged first decoy strips 201 and second decoy strips 202, and a connecting net composed of multiple connecting lines 203. The first decoy strips 201 and second decoy strips 202 are provided with mounting grooves, and are fixed to the connecting net through these grooves. The first decoy strips 201 and second decoy strips 202 form an L-shape and are perpendicular to each other. The second decoy strips 202 overlap the first decoy strips 201. The multiple sets of first decoy strips 201 and second decoy strips 202 are arranged in a staggered, recessed manner. The outer ends of the first decoy strips 201 and second decoy strips 202 (the outer ends of the first decoy strips 201 and second decoy strips 202 refer to the ends that do not overlap) can all extend out of the outer shell 204.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer shell 204 used in conjunction with the core structure is rectangular. The first attractant strip 201 and the second attractant strip 202 are parallel to the two sides of the outer shell 204. The sides of the first attractant strip 201 and the second attractant strip 202 are engaged with the inner wall of the outer shell 204. The outer shell 204 is fixed to the wall or wall by screws. The two opposite sides of the outer shell 204 and the outer ends of the first attractant strip 201 and the second attractant strip 202 are grid-like. The outer ends of the four sets of first attractant strips 201 and second attractant strips 202 extend out of the grid gaps and can directly contact the wall surface. Since the outer ends of the first attractant strips 201 and the second attractant strip 202 can extend out of the outer shell 204, there is a certain gap between the outer shell 204 and the wall surface, forming a channel for termites to enter.

[0048] The design concept of this core structure in conjunction with the 204 outer shell is as follows:

[0049] The outer ends of the first attractant strip 201 and the second attractant strip 202 extend out of the outer shell 204 and are close to the wall, which can effectively attract termites hiding in the cracks of the house. Because there is a certain gap between the outer shell 204 and the wall, the termites can enter the outer shell 204 through the gap between the outer shell 204 and the wall. Then, the termites will enter the core structure along the outer ends of the multiple sets of first attractant strips 201 and second attractant strips 202. The multiple sets of first attractant strips 201 and second attractant strips 202 are arranged in a staggered and inward manner. Most of the sides of the first attractant strips 201 and second attractant strips 202 can be projected onto the top surface, which makes it easy to observe and monitor the termite attraction from the top opening of the outer shell 204 and to discover new termite colonies or activity areas in a timely manner.
