Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mosquito trapping, and in particular to a novel mosquito trapping system. Background Technology

[0002] Mosquito trapping can reduce disease transmission, lower control costs, and achieve both environmental protection and safety. It is not only an important component of pest management but also a key measure for public health and environmental protection. Through scientifically sound trapping strategies, ecological balance and sustainable development can be achieved while reducing mosquito harm.

[0003] Most existing insect traps are either physical or chemical traps. However, the effectiveness of individual traps is relatively poor, and some pests may not be caught, leading to an overabundance of mosquitoes and other pests and causing harm.

[0004] Therefore, given that the existing individual insect-trapping systems are ineffective and fail to capture some pests, leading to mosquito infestations and harm, a new type of mosquito-trapping system can be designed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of single insect traps, which are mostly physical or chemical traps and therefore may fail to trap some pests, leading to mosquito infestations and harm.

The upper end of the roller is provided with a base frame, the upper end of the base frame is provided with a push rod, the upper end of the push rod is provided with an insect attractant box, the front end of the insect attractant box is provided with a feed pipe assembly, the inside of the feed pipe assembly is provided with a suction pipe, the upper end of the suction pipe is provided with a suction pump, the upper end of the suction pump is provided with an outlet pipe, and a nozzle is provided on the outlet pipe. The upper end of the insect attractant box is provided with a fan cover, the inside of the fan cover is provided with an electric fan, the column is provided between the fan covers, the upper end of the column is provided with a frustum top, the lower end of the frustum top is provided with an insect attractant lamp, and the outside of the frustum top is provided with an electric grid.

[0007] Preferably, four rollers are provided, and they are respectively located around the lower end of the base frame.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom frame is set as a square hollow shape, and rectangular plates are set on both sides of the bottom frame. Push rods are set at the upper ends of the rectangular plates, and the push rods are set to correspond one-to-one with the rectangular plates of the bottom frame.

[0009] Preferably, the insect attractant box is a hollow rectangle with rectangular plates connected to both ends, and the rectangular plates are fixedly connected to the head of the push rod.

[0010] Preferably, the suction pipe, suction pump, discharge pipe and nozzle are set as a group, and a total of four groups are set. The four groups are arranged in a ring and are respectively set on the four sides of the insect attractant box.

[0011] Preferably, three electric fans are installed inside a fan cover. One fan cover and three electric fans are set as a group, and a total of four groups are set. The four groups are respectively set on the four sides of the upper end of the insect attractant box and on the inside of the nozzle. The airflow of the four groups of electric fans is set to face outward.

[0012] Preferably, the power grid is configured as a columnar spherical structure, and is configured as a mesh, with the entire structure energized.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Rollers facilitate the movement of the entire device. The base frame provides fixed support, and the push rod allows for height adjustment. The insect attractant enters the attractant tank through the inlet pipe and is stored there. The pump is activated, drawing the attractant from the tank through the outlet pipe to the nozzle for spraying, achieving chemical insect attraction. A fan cover protects the electric fan. The electric fan, when activated, disperses the sprayed insecticide, expanding its reach. A column supports the top of a truncated pyramid, which in turn holds an insect-attracting lamp. The lamp physically attracts insects, and an electric grid shocks the attracted insects, killing them. The dead insects fall to the ground below, providing nutrients for trees. This design overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods where individual insect attractants are less effective, and existing methods often rely on either physical or chemical attractants, potentially resulting in some pests remaining uncaptured and causing pest infestations.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] The principle of mosquito trapping among the currently discovered and feasible technologies is as follows.

[0022] Mosquitoes possess phototaxis and chemotaxis, properties that form the basis for designing mosquito traps. Phototaxis refers to mosquitoes' attraction to light sources, particularly specific wavelengths such as ultraviolet light. This is because their visual systems are more sensitive to short-wavelength light like ultraviolet light. Chemotaxis refers to mosquitoes' attraction to certain chemical substances, such as the odors emitted by humans (carbon dioxide, lactic acid, etc.) and volatile substances released by some plants. By utilizing these properties, effective mosquito traps can be created.

[0023] Common mosquito trapping devices and methods

[0024] UV mosquito lamp

[0025] These lamps primarily utilize the phototaxis of mosquitoes. Their bulbs emit ultraviolet light, attracting mosquitoes to the light source. An electric grid or sticky trap is usually placed below or around the lamp. When a mosquito flies towards the light and comes into contact with the grid, it is electrocuted; if it's a sticky trap, the mosquito is trapped. For example, outdoor ultraviolet mosquito-attracting lamps used in home yards vary in power and coverage depending on the model. Smaller models can cover an area of ​​several square meters, while larger ones can cover hundreds of square meters.

[0026] Carbon dioxide mosquito attractant

[0027] These mosquito attractants mimic human respiration by releasing carbon dioxide. Some attractants produce carbon dioxide through chemical reactions, such as using a mixture of citric acid and baking soda. Other attractants, such as lactic acid or specific mosquito pheromones, can also be added to enhance the trapping effect. Once attracted by the carbon dioxide, mosquitoes enter a container, which can contain sticky traps or liquid traps to trap them. These attractants are particularly effective in outdoor camping environments, where mosquito density is high and humans are their primary target; releasing carbon dioxide effectively mimics human scent.

[0028] Sweet and sour solution trapping method

[0029] This method exploits mosquitoes' attraction to sweet and sour smells. A sweet and sour solution is typically made by mixing sugar, vinegar, liquor, and water in a specific ratio, such as sugar:vinegar:liquor:water = 3:4:1:2. The prepared solution is poured into a container with a wide opening, such as a plastic bottle. Several small holes can be made in the top of the container to allow mosquitoes to enter. Attracted by the smell of the sweet and sour solution, the mosquitoes are trapped due to the liquid's viscosity or surface tension. This method is low-cost and suitable for small areas such as home gardens.

[0030] Application scenarios of mosquito trapping

[0031] Family environment

[0032] Indoors, ultraviolet mosquito lamps can be placed in corners or near windows, where mosquitoes easily enter. Carbon dioxide mosquito traps can be placed near beds in bedrooms, especially in summer when mosquitoes are plentiful, effectively reducing mosquito bites. The sugar-vinegar solution trapping method can also be used in kitchens, balconies, and other indoor areas, and is effective at attracting small mosquitoes.

[0033] Outdoor environment

[0034] In park rest areas and outdoor restaurants, ultraviolet mosquito-attracting lamps can be hung on trees or placed next to tables to provide a relatively mosquito-free environment. In farmland and orchards, sugar-vinegar traps can be used to trap fruit flies and other pests, reducing their damage to crops. In livestock farms, carbon dioxide mosquito traps can prevent mosquito bites on livestock, reducing the spread of disease.

[0035] Factors affecting trapping effectiveness and methods to improve it

[0036] Environmental factors

[0037] Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed affect mosquito activity and trapping effectiveness. Generally, mosquitoes are more active in environments with higher temperatures (25-30 degrees Celsius) and moderate humidity (60%-80%). Excessive wind speed can interfere with mosquitoes' flight paths, making it difficult for them to reach the trapping device. Therefore, when setting up traps, choose sheltered locations and use them under suitable temperature and humidity conditions.

[0038] Device location and height

[0039] Different types of mosquitoes move at different heights. For example, some Anopheles mosquitoes prefer to move at lower positions (about 0.5-1 meter above the ground), while Culex mosquitoes may move at slightly higher positions (about 1-1.5 meters above the ground). Therefore, the height of the trapping device should be adjusted according to the type of mosquito being targeted. For ultraviolet mosquito lamps, place them in a relatively open location, avoiding obstruction of the light by other objects, so that more mosquitoes can see the light source.

[0040] Trapping agent updates and maintenance

[0041] For carbon dioxide mosquito traps and sugar-vinegar bait traps, the bait should be replaced regularly. The chemicals in carbon dioxide traps deplete over time, and the sugar-vinegar solution loses its attractiveness due to mosquitoes entering or moisture evaporation. Regularly replacing the bait ensures the continued effectiveness of the trap. For ultraviolet mosquito lamps, the electric grid should be cleaned or the sticky plate replaced regularly to keep the device clean and ensure successful mosquito capture.

[0042] A novel mosquito trapping system

[0043] I. System Composition

[0044] Intelligent light-induced module

[0045] This system employs a combination of multi-band ultraviolet LED lights. This combination emits specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light that mosquitoes are most sensitive to, such as 365nm and 395nm wavelengths, making it more attractive to different types of mosquitoes compared to traditional single-wavelength ultraviolet mosquito attractants. LED lights offer advantages such as energy saving, long lifespan, and low heat generation, allowing for stable operation over extended periods. Furthermore, the module is equipped with a light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the ultraviolet lights based on ambient light intensity, automatically turning off during the day when there is ample light and automatically turning on at night or in low light conditions, saving energy and improving trapping efficiency.

[0046] Precision chemical ecological inducer emission module

[0047] It incorporates a storage and release mechanism for multiple mosquito attractants. These include chemicals that mimic the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans, such as ammonium bicarbonate, which slowly decomposes to release a stable concentration of carbon dioxide. It also contains human odor-mimicking components like lactic acid and acetone, as well as sex pheromones specific to certain mosquito species, such as those of Aedes aegypti. These attractants are precisely controlled in terms of release volume and time via a micro-pump, maintaining a stable concentration gradient over a longer period, creating a strong odor "trap" in the surrounding air to effectively attract mosquitoes.

[0048] High-efficiency physical capture module

[0049] The system features a powerful fan and a specially designed trapping net. When mosquitoes are attracted to the vicinity of the trapping system by light and chemical attraction, the airflow generated by the powerful fan draws them into the net. The net is made of a fine and smooth material, making it difficult for mosquitoes to escape once inside. A removable collection box is located at the bottom of the net for easy and regular cleaning of the captured mosquitoes. The collection box can contain desiccants or preservatives to prevent the mosquito carcasses from rotting and smelling foul.

[0050] Intelligent monitoring and data transmission module

[0051] Equipped with a high-definition camera and sensors, the system captures real-time images of mosquitoes and automatically identifies their species and quantity using image recognition technology. The sensors monitor environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed. This data, along with mosquito capture information, is transmitted wirelessly (e.g., via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to the user's mobile app or computer management platform. Users can view the system's status and mosquito capture results anytime, anywhere, and remotely control the system based on the data.

[0052] II. Working Principle

[0053] At night or in low light conditions, the light sensor in the intelligent light-attracting module detects changes in the environment, triggering the ultraviolet LED light to turn on and emit ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength, radiating into the surrounding space. Mosquitoes, attracted by the phototaxis, are drawn to the ultraviolet light and fly towards the trapping system.

[0054] The precision chemical attractant release module releases attractants such as carbon dioxide, human odor mimics, and mosquito sex pheromones according to a pre-programmed sequence. These scents diffuse in the air, further enhancing their attraction to mosquitoes and allowing them to more accurately locate the trapping system.

[0055] When mosquitoes approach the trapping system, the powerful fan of the efficient physical trapping module activates, generating a strong airflow that draws the mosquitoes into the trapping net. Once inside, the mosquitoes cannot escape and eventually fall into the collection box at the bottom.

[0056] The intelligent monitoring and data transmission module uses cameras and sensors to collect mosquito capture information and environmental parameters in real time, and then transmits the data wirelessly to the user terminal. Users can use this data to understand mosquito activity patterns, density changes, and other information, allowing them to adjust the trapping system's operating parameters or take other mosquito control measures.

[0057] III. Advantages and Features

[0058] Highly efficient trapping

[0059] The synergistic effect of multi-band ultraviolet light and precise chemical eco-attractants can attract a variety of mosquitoes, including common Anopheles, Culex, and Aedes, greatly improving trapping efficiency. Compared with traditional single-trapping methods, the capture rate can be increased by more than 50%.

[0060] Intelligent control

[0061] The light sensor and intelligent monitoring and data transmission module enable intelligent management of the trapping system. It can automatically switch on and off based on ambient light conditions, and remotely adjust operating parameters such as UV lamp brightness and attractant release amount according to user needs, offering convenience, speed, and energy efficiency.

[0062] Precise data analysis

[0063] By using image recognition technology and sensor data collection, it is possible to accurately count information such as mosquito species, numbers, and activity times. This data helps researchers study the ecological habits of mosquitoes and provides a scientific basis for health and epidemic prevention departments to formulate mosquito control strategies.

[0064] Environmental protection and hygiene

[0065] It uses physical capture methods, avoiding the use of chemical pesticides and thus preventing environmental pollution and potential harm to human health. The collection box is designed for easy removal of dead mosquitoes, keeping the surrounding environment clean.

[0066] IV. Application Scenarios

[0067] Family courtyard

[0068] It can be placed in the corner of the yard or near the door and window to effectively reduce the interference of mosquitoes on family members' outdoor activities, protect family members from mosquito bites, and prevent mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and malaria.

[0069] Parks and scenic areas

[0070] Installed in park rest areas, lakesides, woodlands, and other areas with high mosquito density, these devices provide a comfortable leisure environment for visitors and improve the hygiene quality and visitor satisfaction of the scenic area.

[0071] Agricultural production area

[0072] In agricultural planting areas such as orchards and vegetable greenhouses, it can trap fruit flies and other pests and mosquitoes, reducing the damage of mosquitoes to crops, reducing the amount of pesticides used, and improving the quality and safety of agricultural products.

[0073] Public health and epidemic prevention

[0074] In areas with high mosquito prevalence, such as old urban residential areas and urban-rural fringe areas, this trapping system can serve as an important tool for mosquito monitoring and control, helping health and epidemic prevention departments to promptly grasp the density and species distribution of mosquitoes and take targeted prevention and control measures.
