Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of termite control technology, and more specifically, to an automatic monitoring and attracting device for termite control. Background Technology

[0002] Termites pose a significant threat, and timely monitoring and extermination are essential to reducing their damage. Devices can be designed to attract termites by placing them in woody or cellulose-based baits or containing pheromones that termites prefer. The baits may contain slow-acting insecticides (such as insect growth regulators), which the termites carry back to their nests after feeding, spreading through contact and gradually eliminating the entire colony. However, existing termite monitoring devices, which automatically detect termites using built-in sensors or bait systems, often trigger alarms when only a small number of termites enter the device to feed or move around. This oversensitivity can damage the sensors with prolonged use, and by the time personnel arrive to check and exterminate the termites, the number inside is usually small. Therefore, a monitoring and attracting device capable of detecting large numbers of termites is needed to improve extermination efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic monitoring and attracting device for termite control that has more effective monitoring, improves termite extermination efficiency, and extends the service life of the monitoring device.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic monitoring and attracting device for termite control, including a bait wood, a receiving hole in the middle of the bait wood, the receiving hole being filled with flowable solid particles; a sensing and monitoring component is provided at the top of the bait wood, blocking the opening of the receiving hole, the solid particles located at the top of the receiving hole contacting the sensing and monitoring component, when the bait wood is eaten and broken to cause the solid particles to sink and flow out and separate from the sensing and monitoring component.

[0005] Furthermore, the sensing and monitoring component includes a Hall switch device board and a magnet, with the two sides of the magnet respectively abutting against the solid particles and the Hall switch device board, and the magnet sinking along with the solid particles.

[0006] Furthermore, the Hall switch device board is connected to an electronic compartment via wiring.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes an underground cavity with several openings on its outer wall, into which the attractant wood is placed; the top opening of the cavity is covered with a cap.

[0008] Furthermore, the sensing and monitoring component is mounted on the cover.

[0009] Furthermore, wood chips are placed in the gaps of the cavity.

[0017] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides further details. Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment is an automatic monitoring and attracting device for termite control, including a bait wood 1. The bait wood 1 has a receiving hole 11 in its middle, filled with flowable solid particles 3. A sensing and monitoring component 2 is located at the top of the bait wood 1, blocking the opening of the receiving hole 11. The solid particles 3 at the top of the receiving hole 11 come into contact with the sensing and monitoring component 2. When the bait wood 1 is chewed and damaged, the solid particles 3 sink and flow out, separating from the sensing and monitoring component 2. Specifically, this device places the bait wood 1 in areas where termites are prone to appear, such as... If a small number of termites do not gnaw on the bait wood 1 in the soil, rock crevices, or within a dam in the short term, the sensing and monitoring component 2 will not trigger an alarm. However, as the number of termites increases, their gnawing on the bait wood 1 causes more and more severe damage to its surface until it connects with the receiving hole 11. As a result, the solid particles 3 in the receiving hole 11 leak out, causing the sensing and monitoring component 2 to lose contact with the solid particles 3. This indirectly indicates the presence of a large number of termites. An alarm is then triggered via remote communication, and operators rush to the site to inspect and exterminate the termites, improving the extermination efficiency and preventing the monitoring device from triggering frequent alarms due to a small number of termites.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the sensing and monitoring component 2 includes a Hall switch device board 21 and a magnet 22. The magnet 22 is in contact with both sides of the solid particles 3 and the Hall switch device board 21, and the magnet 22 sinks with the solid particles 3. Specifically, the Hall switch device board 21 and the magnet 22 are not in direct contact, but rather operate using a magnetic field. The principle is based on the Hall effect. When the magnet 22 approaches the Hall switch device board 21, the magnetic field generated by the magnet 22 acts on the Hall element. The magnetic field causes a change in the trajectory of the charges inside the Hall element; the originally uniformly distributed charges will accumulate to both sides under the influence of the magnetic field, thus generating a potential difference on both sides of the Hall element. If the magnetic field strength reaches the operating threshold of the Hall switch, the potential difference generated by the Hall element, after being amplified by an amplifier, will change the state of the output circuit, such as changing from a high level to a low level or from a low level to a high level, thereby triggering the corresponding action of the external circuit connected to the Hall switch to achieve functions such as circuit on / off control. When the magnet 22 leaves, the magnetic field strength weakens, the potential difference on both sides of the Hall element decreases, and the output circuit returns to its original state. Therefore, this principle is used to monitor the distance between the magnet 22 and the Hall switch device board 21, thereby determining whether there is termite infestation, with high accuracy.

[0019] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the Hall switch device board 21 is connected to an electronic compartment 23 via a circuit. The electronic compartment 23 can be fixed and is used to provide real-time feedback monitoring information.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment also includes a cavity 4 placed underground. Several openings 41 are provided on the outer wall of the cavity 4, and the attractant wood 1 is installed in the cavity 4. A cover 6 is provided at the top opening of the cavity 4, and the sensing and monitoring component 2 is installed on the cover 6. Specifically, the electronic compartment 23 is fixedly installed on the cover 6, and termites can easily enter the cavity 4 through the openings 41 to contact and gnaw on the attractant wood 1. When the cover 6 is removed, the cover 6 will bring out the attractant wood 1 along with the wire to check the termite grazing on its surface.

[0021] Even better, smaller pieces of wood 5 can be placed in the gaps of cavity 4. The attractant wood 1 is located in the middle of cavity 4. This piece of wood 5 is close to the opening 41, which can increase the chances of attracting termites.

[0022] The attractant wood 1 is a round or square column, which is a strip-shaped object that is not easy to collapse when placed inside the cavity 4.

[0023] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the solid particles 3 are glass beads or gravel, both of which are very easy to flow out when the outer surface of the attractant wood 1 is damaged to the receiving hole 11.

[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
