Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of insect-attracting devices, specifically an insect-attracting device for the control of potato diseases and pests. Background Technology
[0002] Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), the world's fourth most important food crop, are widely popular due to their high nutritional value and adaptability. However, pests and diseases have always been significant factors restricting yield and quality during potato cultivation. Common potato pests and diseases include ground insects (such as grubs), ladybugs, aphids, and early blight and late blight. These pests and diseases not only directly damage potato leaves, stems, and tubers but also indirectly affect potato growth and yield by spreading pathogens, causing significant economic losses to farmers.
[0003] Currently, although some insect-attracting devices have been applied to the control of potato pests and diseases, such as insect-attracting lamps that use the phototaxis of insects to kill them, these devices still have many shortcomings in practical applications. For example, existing insect-attracting lamps are mainly designed for phototaxis-attracting pests, so these devices often cannot continue to work during the day, thus limiting their effectiveness in killing pests.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes an insect-attracting device for the control of potato diseases and pests, which aims to further improve the trapping effect by generating a natural wood-collision and friction sound that attracts pests, and effectively solve the problem of soil insect damage during potato planting. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an insect-attracting device for the control of potato diseases and pests.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an insect-attracting device for controlling potato pests and diseases, comprising a rain cover and an outer shell, wherein a sound-attracting mechanism is provided on the bottom surface of the rain cover, the sound-attracting mechanism comprising an inverted U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rain cover, a first connecting rod fixedly connected to the upper part of the inverted U-shaped plate, a rope fixedly connected to the first connecting rod, a square wooden block fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rope, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the inverted U-shaped plate, a set of wind turbine blades fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a second connecting rod fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft near the first connecting rod, and two wooden striking rods fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second connecting rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the rain cover is fixedly connected to the outer shell, and a hook is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rain cover.
[0008] Furthermore, four transparent plastic shell plates are fixedly connected inside the outer shell, and four sets of pest inlets are opened inside the outer shell.
[0009] Furthermore, a baiting lamp post is installed on the bottom surface of the rain cover, and the baiting lamp post is located inside.
[0010] Furthermore, a threaded annular cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer shell, and an annular bottom frame is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded annular cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, six straight rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the annular bottom frame, and a wire mesh is fixedly connected to the inside of the annular bottom frame.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this insect-attracting device for potato pest and disease control has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention significantly improves the trapping effect on potato pests by combining sound and physical trapping methods. The sound trapping mechanism uses wind power to drive the rotating blades, which in turn drive the wooden striking rod to continuously strike the square wooden block, simulating the sound of natural wood collision and friction, effectively attracting pests closer. At the same time, the transparent plastic shell and the insecticide-coated lamp post inside the outer shell further utilize the phototaxis of pests and the lethal toxicity of the pesticide to achieve highly efficient trapping and killing of pests. This comprehensive trapping method not only overcomes the limitations of traditional single-trap insect traps, but also significantly improves the trapping effect, helping to reduce the damage caused by pests such as ground worms during potato cultivation, and improving potato yield and quality.
[0014] This utility model features a reasonable design, a stable structure, and convenient use. It boasts excellent practicality and durability. The rain cover effectively protects the internal components from rainwater erosion, ensuring normal operation of the device in harsh weather conditions. The hook design allows users to easily hang the device in a suitable location, improving ease of use. Furthermore, the design of the ring-shaped bottom frame and wire mesh not only provides a collection space for the trapped pests but also effectively prevents the trapped pests from falling, facilitating subsequent cleaning and disposal. These design details fully consider the user's needs and actual operating conditions, making this utility model perform excellently in practical applications and possessing broad application value.

[0027] Six straight rods 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the annular base frame 9, and a wire mesh 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the annular base frame 9.
[0028] The rain cover 1 is located at the top of the decoy. Its main function is to protect the decoy components below from rainwater corrosion and ensure that the decoy can work normally in harsh weather conditions.
[0029] The hook 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rain cover 1, making it easy for users to hang the bait on tree branches or other suitable locations, thus improving ease of use.

[0038] Working Principle: This utility model provides an insect-attracting device for controlling potato pests and diseases. Its innovation lies in combining sound and physical trapping methods to improve the effectiveness of attracting and killing potato pests. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0039] The device mainly consists of a rain cover 1, an outer shell 3, and a sound-attracting mechanism 4. In use, the entire device is first suspended in a suitable location in the potato field using hooks 2. The rain cover 1 is designed to effectively prevent rainwater from entering the device, ensuring its normal operation in inclement weather. The sound-attracting mechanism 4 is the core component of the device, attracting pests by simulating the sound of wood colliding and rubbing in the natural environment. Specifically, when the wind blows past the wind turbine blade 406, the blade 406 drives the shaft 405 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 405 further drives the second connecting rod 407 and the wooden striking rod 408 to rotate. During rotation, the wooden striking rod 408 continuously strikes the square wooden block 404, producing a sound similar to the collision and friction of wood in the natural environment. This sound strongly attracts many potato pests, luring them closer to the device. Once the pests are attracted by the sound and approach the device, they enter the device through the pest entrance 7 on the outer shell 3. The transparent plastic shell 6 inside the outer casing 3 is designed to further utilize the phototaxis of pests, guiding them deeper into the device. Simultaneously, the insecticidal lamp post 5 is coated with a lethally toxic agent; when pests come into contact with the lamp post 5, they are killed by the agent. Furthermore, the trap is designed with a ring-shaped bottom frame 9 and a wire mesh 11. These structures not only provide a collection space for the trapped pests but also effectively prevent the killed pests from falling, facilitating subsequent cleaning and disposal.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
