Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golden apple snail trapping technology, specifically a golden apple snail trapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Golden apple snails are a type of freshwater snail native to the Amazon River basin in South America. After being introduced to my country, they were abandoned in wild aquatic environments due to their poor taste. However, as an invasive species, golden apple snails have strong adaptability and reproductive capacity, and they reproduce in large numbers in freshwater rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and rice paddies, causing environmental damage and agricultural losses.

[0003] Domestic and international scholars have conducted extensive research on the control techniques for golden apple snails, including agricultural control, physical control, chemical control, and biological control. Agricultural control is often closely integrated with physical control methods, such as controlling irrigation, frequent field drying, adjusting crop rotation to water-dry rotation, timely weeding, ditch management, proper deep plowing, and manual harvesting, to reduce the density and survival rate of golden apple snails and mitigate their spread and damage. However, both of these methods require significant manpower and resources and have relatively low control efficiency.

[0004] As people study the living habits of golden apple snails, many types of snail traps have appeared on the market. Most of these traps use attractants to lure the snails, causing them to crawl into or fall into the trap through the trap's opening. However, in practice, most snail traps only make it difficult to catch the snails, resulting in poor trapping effects. Furthermore, the snail traps on the market are relatively large, have high manufacturing costs, are cumbersome to use, and are inconvenient to install.

[0005] A Chinese patent discloses a golden apple snail trap (authorization announcement number CN219844656U). This patented technology can prevent the attractant from being diluted by water, thus affecting the trapping effect, and can also effectively prevent the golden apple snail from escaping. However, it cannot effectively guide the golden apple snail into its interior, resulting in poor actual trapping effect. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a golden apple snail trap to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A golden apple snail trap includes a collection box, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to a shielding mechanism via several support rods, and a fixing rod is installed on one side of both the collection box and the shielding mechanism; the shielding mechanism includes a support plate and a soft nylon net bag installed at the lower end of the support plate, and a counterweight is provided at the lower end of the inner side of the soft nylon net bag.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper outer side of the soft nylon mesh bag is provided with a lower Velcro, and the lower outer side is provided with an upper Velcro.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the collection box includes a box body and a lower cover installed at the lower end of the box body. An attractant box is provided in the middle of the inner side of the lower cover. The upper end of the box body is a crawling surface for golden apple snails, and an inlet is provided in the middle of the crawling surface.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an upper buckle is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support plate, and a lower buckle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer side of the box body, with the fixing rod embedded inside the upper and lower buckles.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner sidewall of the lower cover is provided with an internal thread groove, and the lower end of the outer side of the box is provided with an external thread groove. The lower cover and the box are connected by the engagement of the internal thread groove and the external thread groove.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the lower end of the soft nylon mesh bag covers the outside of the inlet, and the counterweight is embedded inside the inlet.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention secures the trap by inserting a fixing rod into the silt, preventing it from being lost after use and facilitating its recycling and reuse. A soft nylon net covers the inlet of the collection box, allowing the golden apple snails to easily push it open from the outside as they crawl towards it. The net then adheres to the inlet, preventing the snails from crawling out of the box. This design also prevents external debris from falling into the box through the inlet.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, a golden apple snail trap includes a collection box 1. The upper end of the collection box 1 is fixedly connected to a shielding mechanism 3 by a plurality of support rods 2. A fixing rod 4 is installed on one side of the collection box 1 and the shielding mechanism 3.

[0021] exist Figure 2 In the middle, the shielding mechanism 3 includes a support plate 34 and a soft nylon mesh bag 31 installed at the lower end of the support plate 34. A counterweight 32 is provided at the lower end of the inner side of the soft nylon mesh bag 31. Through the gravity of the counterweight 32, the soft nylon mesh bag 31 can always maintain a downward convex structure. A lower Velcro 33 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the soft nylon mesh bag 31, and an upper Velcro 33 is provided on the outer side of the lower end. By attaching the lower Velcro 33 to the upper Velcro, the support plate 34 and the soft nylon mesh bag 31 can be connected together.

[0022] exist Figure 2 In the case, the collection box 1 includes a box body 11 and a lower cover 16 installed at the lower end of the box body 11. An attractant box 17 is provided in the middle of the inner side of the lower cover 16. The upper end of the box body 11 is a crawling surface for golden apple snails, and an inlet 12 is provided in the middle of the crawling surface. An attractant is placed in the attractant box 17, and the odor of the attractant escapes from the inlet 12, attracting golden apple snails to crawl on the crawling surface and fall into the interior of the box body 11 and the lower cover 16 through the inlet 12.

[0023] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, an upper buckle 35 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support plate 34, and a lower buckle 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer side of the box body 11. The fixing rod 4 is embedded in the inner side of the upper buckle 35 and the lower buckle 13, so that the collection box 1 and the blocking mechanism 3 can be fixed on the fixing rod 4. Inserting the fixing rod 4 into the silt can fix the entire trap, which is conducive to the recovery and reuse of the trap and prevents the trap from being lost after use. The inner side wall of the lower cover 16 has an internal thread groove 15, and the lower end of the outer side of the box body 11 has an external thread groove 14. The lower cover 16 and the box body 11 are connected by the engagement of the internal thread groove 15 and the external thread groove 14. When the snails are finished using the product or when the attractant needs to be replaced, unscrew the lower cover 16 to empty the collected snails or replace the attractant. The lower end of the soft nylon net bag 31 covers the outside of the inlet 12, and the counterweight 32 is embedded inside the inlet 12. Therefore, the snails can easily push open the soft nylon net bag 31 from the outside and enter the box 11 through the inlet 12 by crawling on the crawling plane at the top of the box 11 towards the inlet 12. However, because the soft nylon net bag 31 is attached to the inlet 12, the snails cannot crawl out from the inside of the box 11. It also prevents external garbage and debris from falling into the box 11 through the inlet 12.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the attractant is placed into the attractant box 17. Then, the lower cover 16 is screwed onto the box body 11, and the fixing rod 4 is inserted into the position where the golden apple snails need to be captured.

[0025] When the scent emitted by the attractant in the attractant box 17 escapes from the inlet 12, the golden apple snail smells the scent and crawls from the crawling plane at the top of the box 11 to the inlet 12, pushes open the soft nylon net bag 31 from the outside, and enters the box 11 through the inlet 12.

[0026] When finished using the snails, unscrew the bottom cover 16 to pour out the collected snails.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
