Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural pest control, specifically to an agricultural pest trap. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural pest traps are devices used to capture and monitor agricultural pests. They utilize the pests' phototaxis (attraction to light), attracting them with light. When the pests are drawn to the light source and approach, a built-in fan generates a strong suction, drawing them into the collection device. This process eliminates the need for chemical pesticides, making it environmentally friendly and avoiding the potential threats to agricultural products and human health posed by pesticide residues.
[0003] Existing agricultural pest traps utilize the sensitivity of pests to specific spectra to attract them. However, some beneficial insects may have similar spectral preferences to pests. Some natural enemy insects (such as ladybugs and lacewings) and pests may both have a certain phototaxis to ultraviolet or blue-green light. This can cause them to be attracted and captured by the trap at the same time. The reduction of beneficial natural enemies of pests may lead to an increase in the number of pests. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an agricultural pest trap that, while attracting pests with a light tube, filters and repels beneficial insects through a second light ring, a volatilization ring, and a light ring pair inside a surrounding plate. This prevents beneficial insects from being accidentally caught or killed by the trapping device, avoids disrupting the ecological balance, maintains the population of natural enemies of pests, and thus indirectly reduces the number of pests.
[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An agricultural pest trap includes a suction chamber and a trapping device fixedly assembled on one side of the top of a column. The trapping device includes a surrounding plate, with a conical tube fixedly connected in an array through the side wall of the surrounding plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an agricultural pest trap includes a suction chamber 103 and a trapping device 1 fixedly assembled on one side of the top of a column 2. The trapping device 1 includes a surrounding plate 101, with conical tubes 102 fixedly connected in an array through the side wall of the surrounding plate 101. The suction chamber 103 is fixedly assembled at the bottom of the surrounding plate 101, and an insect collection chamber 104 is fixedly assembled at the bottom of the suction chamber 103. A light ring 105 is fixedly assembled on the inner wall of the surrounding plate 101 above the suction chamber 103, and a second light ring 111 is fixedly assembled on the inner wall of the conical tubes 102. Both the first light ring 105 and the second light ring 111 are arranged in alternating red and yellow colors. A cover plate 106 is fixedly connected to the top of the surrounding plate 101. A lamp tube 116 is fixedly assembled in the middle of the cover plate 106 inside the surrounding plate 101, and a lamp tube 116 is fixedly assembled in the middle of the cover plate 106 outside the lamp tube 116. A transparent cover 110 is fixedly connected. An escape hatch 107 is symmetrically opened through the side wall of the cover plate 106. A rain cover 108 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 106. The diameter of the rain cover 108 is larger than that of the cover plate 106, and an annular notch is formed between the edges of the two coverings around the cover plate 106. A transparent valve 109 for controlling the opening and closing of the annular notch is snapped together on the edge of the cover plate 106. A drainage ring 114 is fixedly suspended on the inner wall of the conical tube 102 and on one side of the lamp ring 111. The drainage ring 114 is fixedly connected to the conical tube 102 through a liquid injection port 113 on one side. One end of the liquid injection port 113 protrudes above the conical tube 102. An evaporation ring 112 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drainage ring 114. Several leakage holes 115 are equidistantly opened around the periphery of the drainage ring 114.
[0022] According to the above structure, the transparent cover 110 is made of a highly transparent material and is placed on the outside of the lamp tube 116. The lamp tube 116 emits light to attract insects. The light passes through the conical tube 102 to the outside, and the insects also enter the enclosure 101 through the conical tube 102. The air suction chamber 103 emits a suction force in the direction of the transparent cover 110, which sucks the insects that have entered the enclosure 101 into the insect collection chamber 104. A synthetic agent that repels beneficial insects, such as inexpensive benzoic acid, is periodically injected into the drainage ring 114 through the liquid injection port 113. Benzyl ester has a repellent effect on parasitic wasps and hoverflies, but has no effect on pests. The synthetic agent permeates through the leakage hole 115 onto the evaporation ring 112, preventing beneficial insects from entering the enclosure 101 through the conical tube 102. The red light emitted by the second light ring 111 can interfere with the visual positioning of beneficial insects such as dragonflies and lacewings, causing them to actively avoid the enclosure. The yellow light can attract pests such as whiteflies and thrips, while repelling beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs. The same applies to the first light ring 105, which is installed inside the enclosure 101 near the air suction chamber 1. Position 03 further prevents larger, more capable flying beneficial insects from accidentally entering the enclosure 101 through the conical tube 102 and continuing to fly towards the air intake 103. Instead, it stimulates them to fly upwards towards the cover 106 and through the escape opening 107 in the cover 106 into the space between the rain cover 108 and the cover 106. The cover 106 is made of food-grade transparent silicone flaps with a thickness between 0.1mm and 0.8mm. When beneficial insects step on or bump into the transparent flaps 106 while searching for an exit... When the light tube 116 attracts pests, the beneficial insects are filtered and driven away by the light ring 111, the evaporation ring 112 and the light ring 105 in the enclosure 101, which are set in the conical tube 102. This prevents the beneficial insects from being accidentally captured and killed by the trapping device 1, avoids disrupting the ecological balance, maintains the population of natural enemies of pests, and thus indirectly reduces the number of pests.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The transparent cover 110 is made of a highly transparent material and is placed on the outside of the lamp tube 116. The lamp tube 116 emits light to attract insects. The light passes through the conical tube 102 to the outside, and the insects also enter the enclosure 101 through the conical tube 102. The air suction chamber 103 emits a suction force in the direction of the transparent cover 110, which sucks the insects that have entered the enclosure 101 into the insect collection chamber 104. Periodically, a synthetic agent that repels beneficial insects, such as inexpensive benzyl benzoate, is injected into the drainage ring 114 through the injection port 113. It can repel parasitic wasps and hoverflies, but has no effect on pests. The synthetic agent permeates into the evaporation ring 112 through the leakage hole 115, preventing beneficial insects from entering the enclosure 101 through the conical tube 102. The red light emitted by the lamp ring 111 can interfere with the visual positioning of beneficial insects such as dragonflies and lacewings, prompting them to actively seek refuge. The yellow light attracts pests such as whiteflies and thrips, while repelling beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs. Similarly, the light ring 105 is installed inside the enclosure 101 near the air suction chamber 103. This further prevents some larger beneficial insects with strong flying ability from accidentally entering the enclosure 101 through the cone tube 102 and continuing to fly towards the air suction chamber 103. Instead, it stimulates them to fly upwards towards the cover 106 and through the escape opening 107 in the cover 106 into the space between the rain cover 108 and the cover 106. The cover 106 is made of food-grade transparent silicone flaps with a thickness between 0.1mm and 0.8mm. When beneficial insects step on or bump into the transparent flap 109 while searching for an exit, one side of the transparent flap 109 droops and opens to allow the beneficial insects to escape. However, external insects cannot push it away in the opposite direction due to gravity or wind.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
