Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain condition monitoring technology in grain warehouses, specifically to a trap structure for a grain warehouse insect monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] A grain storage pest monitoring device is a specialized piece of equipment designed for grain storage to monitor and manage various pests that may appear during grain storage. These devices typically include a series of sensors, data acquisition modules, and traps, which work together to detect and record the quantity, type, and activity patterns of pests, helping managers to take timely measures to prevent pest damage to the grain. Traps, as an important component of the monitoring device, are responsible for attracting and capturing pests and are a key tool for assessing the severity of pest infestations.

[0003] However, existing grain storage pest monitoring devices have revealed some significant shortcomings in practical applications, particularly the inconvenience of replacing the traps. In most traditional designs, the traps are typically fixed inside the monitoring device, meaning that when the bait runs out or the adhesive loses its effectiveness, its function can only be maintained by adding more bait, which is cumbersome. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but frequent handling can also damage other components of the monitoring device and even affect its performance.

[0004] The above problems are worth solving. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the inconvenience of replacing the traps in existing grain warehouse pest monitoring devices, this invention provides a trap structure for a grain warehouse pest monitoring device.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A trap structure for a grain storage pest monitoring device is provided inside the tube of the pest monitoring device. The trap contains a trapping agent and an adhesive substance.

[0011] Furthermore, the barbed rib has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface on the side away from the bottom, and an anti-escape groove on the side of the barbed rib near the bottom.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall surfaces of the two opposite planes of the cylinder are provided with mounting grooves, and the mounting grooves are provided with elastic arc plates. The elastic arc plates are used to reinforce the assembly firmness of the cylinder in the trap assembly window.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic arc sheet is U-shaped, with its two ends connected to the mounting grooves on both sides, and is set along the outer arc surface of the cylinder, with a gap between the elastic arc sheet and the outer arc surface of the cylinder.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a wiring gap is left between the two side planes of the trap installed inside the tube and the inner wall of the tube.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two arc surfaces of the cylinder are consistent with the curvature of the outer wall surface of the tube.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the plurality of wormholes on a single arc surface of the cylinder are arranged in an array. According to the above-described embodiment of this utility model, its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a trap structure for a grain warehouse pest monitoring device is provided inside the tube of the grain warehouse pest monitoring device. The trap contains an attractant and an adhesive substance. The attractant is used to attract pests, and the adhesive substance is used to stick the pests.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pest trap 5 (hereinafter referred to as the trap) includes a cylindrical body. Two opposite sides of the cylindrical body are flat, and the other two opposite sides are curved. Both curved sides are provided with a plurality of insect holes 23. The cylindrical body can pass through the rectangular trap assembly window 22 on the tube body through the two flat sides and be installed inside the tube body. One of the curved surfaces of the cylindrical body is in contact with the inner wall of the tube body, and the other curved surface protrudes from the trap assembly window 22 of the tube body. The curved surface is flush with the outer wall of the tube body around the trap assembly window 22.

[0039] As can be seen, the insect trap 5 in this embodiment can be installed or removed from the side of the tube of the grain warehouse insect monitoring device, making it convenient for users to replace the insect trap 5. When the insect trap 5 is installed into the grain warehouse insect monitoring device, it is combined with the tube, resulting in a compact structure that does not affect the insertion of the grain warehouse insect monitoring device into the grain pile.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the cylinder is oval. An oval shape is formed by dividing a circle through its center into two semicircular arcs that are translated in opposite directions, and connecting the endpoints of the two semicircular arcs with two parallel lines of equal length. The cylinder allows the rectangular trap assembly window 22 to easily enter and exit through its two planar structures. Furthermore, after the pest trap 5 is installed in the tube, a large gap remains between the two planar structures and the inner wall of the tube for wiring. When wiring is required inside the tube of the grain storage pest monitoring device, the wiring can pass through the gap, and the structure of the pest trap 5 will not interfere with the wiring inside the tube.

[0041] The curvature of the two arc surfaces of the cylinder is consistent with the curvature of the outer wall of the tube of the grain storage insect monitoring device. When the insect trap 5 is installed in the tube, the inner arc surface fits against the inner wall of the tube, and the arc surface that fits against the inner wall of the tube has the same number and design position as the insect holes 23 on the side wall of the tube. That is, the insect holes 23 on the inner arc surface of the cylinder are aligned one by one with the insect holes 23 on the inner wall of the tube. The outer arc surface protrudes from the trap assembly window 22 of the tube, and the outer arc surface is flush with the outer wall of the tube around the trap assembly window 22 to fill the gap structure at that place.

[0042] On two opposing planes of the cylinder, the outer wall surface is provided with mounting grooves 50, and elastic arc plates 51 are installed on the mounting grooves 50. Specifically, the elastic arc plates 51 are U-shaped, with their two ends connected to the mounting grooves 50 on both sides, and are arranged along the outer arc surface of the cylinder. There is a certain gap between the elastic arc plates 51 and the cylinder, which can strengthen the assembly firmness of the pest trap 5 inside the tube.

[0043] The inner wall of the container is provided with barbed ribs 52 near the bottom of the container. The barbed ribs 52 are used to prevent pests from escaping from the container. The barbed ribs 52 protrude from the side wall and bend towards the bottom of the container, so that the barbed ribs 52 have a first inclined surface 521 and a second inclined surface 522 on the side near the opening of the container. Pests can easily crawl over the barbed ribs 52 from the outside to the inside through the first inclined surface 521 and the second inclined surface 522. The barbed ribs 52 also have an escape-proof groove 523 on the side near the bottom of the container, which effectively prevents pests from crawling over the barbed ribs 52 from the inside to the outside.

[0044] When using this utility model:

[0045] First, check if the insect trap 5 contains any attractant or sticky substance. Then, align the side of the cylinder furthest from the elastic flap 51 with the trap assembly window 22 on the tube of the grain storage insect monitoring device, and insert the insect trap 5 into the tube until the inner arc surface of the cylinder is flush with the inner wall of the tube. At this point, the insect holes 23 on the inner arc surface of the insect trap 5 are aligned with the insect holes 23 on the side wall of the tube, allowing insects to enter the cylinder through the insect holes 23 on that side of the tube. The outer arc surface of the insect trap 5 exposed to the trap assembly window 22 also has several insect holes 23, allowing insects to enter the cylinder through the insect holes 23 on the side of the trap assembly window 22. After a period of use, press the elastic flap 51 to remove the old insect trap 5 and insert a new insect trap 5.

[0046] To facilitate understanding of the application scenarios of the pest trap 5, this utility model also provides a grain storage pest monitoring device, including:

[0047] The conical insert head 1, serving as the head of the device, has a pointed cone shape, facilitating the insertion of the grain silo pest monitoring device into the grain silo. The conical insert head 1 is preferably made of steel and comprises a solid cone 102 and a hollow cylinder 102. The solid cone 102 has high structural strength, ensuring it can penetrate the grain pile during insertion without easily deforming under pressure. The conical insert head 1 has spiral ribs 11 on its circumference, extending from the pointed front end of the solid cone 102 to the rear end. When the grain silo pest monitoring device is inserted into the grain silo, the spiral ribs 11 enhance the device's ability to penetrate the dense grain pile, making operation easier and improving the user experience.

[0048] The transceiver 4 is used to wirelessly connect with external devices via wireless signals to send and receive data or control commands. For example, it can connect to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, or to a computer or terminal control device via Wi-Fi, or to a cloud server via cellular signals or the Internet.

[0049] The device tube section has a conical insertion head 1 connected to one end and a signal transceiver 4 connected to the other end. The tube section includes several functional tubes 2 and several extension tubes 3 spaced apart, and the functional tubes 2 and extension tubes 3 are detachably connected. Each functional tube 2 contains an insect trap 5 and a camera assembly 6. The insect trap 5 is used to lure and capture grain storage pests, and the camera assembly 6 has a camera 61 facing the insect trap 5, with the camera 61 directly facing the opening of the containment tank to clearly capture images of the pests inside the containment tank of the insect trap 5.

[0050] The end of the functional tube 2 is provided with a first connecting part, which is a connecting hole 21 provided on the tube wall. The end of the extension tube 3 is provided with a second connecting part, which is an elastic bead 31 protruding from the circumference of the tube wall. The end diameter of the functional tube 2 is larger than the end diameter of the extension tube 3, so that the end of the extension tube 3 can be inserted into the end of the functional tube 2 and engaged in the connecting hole 21 by the elastic bead 31, thereby realizing the detachable connection and fixation of the functional tube 2 and the extension tube 3.

[0051] The conical insert 1 is connected to the bottom end of the functional tube 2 at the bottom of the device body. The hollow cylinder 102 of the conical insert 1 is also provided with a second connecting part, and the conical insert 1 is connected to the bottom end of the bottom functional tube 2 through the second connecting part of the hollow cylinder 102. The signal transceiver 4 is installed at the top end of the functional tube 2 at the top of the device body.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, the transceiver 4 includes a base 41 and an antenna 42. The base 41 includes a top seat and a base that are fastened together. A pair of antenna slots 42 are provided on opposite sides of the top seat, and an antenna 42 is installed in each antenna slot. A circuit board is installed inside the base. This circuit board integrates a first wireless transceiver module and a second wireless transceiver module. The first wireless transceiver module is wirelessly connected to the imaging component 6 of the functional tube 2 to receive image data; the second wireless transceiver module is wirelessly connected to a device outside the device to transmit image data. Therefore, the transceiver 4 transmits the image data acquired by the imaging component 6 to external devices via wireless signals.

[0053] In use, the conical insert is connected to one end of functional tube A, and the other end of functional tube A is connected to extension tube A. The conical insert is inserted into the grain in the grain bin, and the device tube body is rotated to allow the conical insert to penetrate deeper into the grain pile, along with functional tube A and extension tube A. The other end of extension tube A is connected to functional tube B, and the other end of functional tube B is connected to extension tube B. The device tube body is then rotated further to allow functional tube B and extension tube B to penetrate into the grain pile. The above steps are repeated, with the user gradually extending the length of the device tube body as needed while inserting it into the grain pile. When the length of the device tube body meets the requirements, a signal transceiver 4 is installed on the top functional tube 2.

[0054] In this way, each functional tube has a pest trap, enabling pests to be trapped at different heights in the grain silo, thus improving monitoring efficiency.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
