Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunflower cultivation technology, and in particular to an insect-catching device for sunflower cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] The sunflower is a plant that attracts pollinating bees to collect nectar and pollen. This species has a wide range of uses: its seeds are edible and can be processed into an oil or fat source for human consumption; it can also be used as animal feed and a potential alternative fuel source, and as an ornamental plant.
[0003] Sunflowers, as a crop, are typically grown in large quantities in fields. During sunflower cultivation, insect traps are usually set up to capture insects or kill pests. Research on the insect community structure and nocturnal insects in sunflower fields is necessary. Traditional insect traps for sunflower cultivation are generally solar-powered insecticidal lamps. These lamps are usually placed in sunflower fields and easily attract winged insects. However, grasshoppers, locusts, and other insects also exist in sunflower fields. These insects fly at short distances and at high altitudes, while sunflower stalks are tall. Therefore, the insecticidal lamps are usually set very high, resulting in fewer insect species being captured. To solve the above problems, we have proposed this insect trapping device for sunflower cultivation. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an insect-catching device for sunflower planting, which solves the problem that the insecticidal lamp of traditional sunflower planting insect-catching devices is generally set at a high height, resulting in a limited number of insect species being caught.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an insect-catching device for sunflower cultivation, comprising: a base rod and a second crossbar; a first mounting rod is provided on the base rod; a mounting cylinder is provided at the upper end of the first mounting rod; a second mounting rod is provided inside the mounting cylinder; a first trapping mechanism for trapping insects is provided on the side walls of the first and second mounting rods; the first trapping mechanism includes two first crossbars provided on the side walls of the first and second mounting rods; a first insecticidal lamp and a second insecticidal lamp are respectively provided on the two first crossbars; an electrical control box is provided on the second mounting rod; and a second trapping mechanism for trapping insects is provided on the side wall of the second crossbar.

[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.
[0021] This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3An insect-catching device for sunflower cultivation includes a base rod 1 and a second crossbar 15. The upper end of the base rod 1 is provided with a first mounting rod 2, and the upper end of the first mounting rod 2 is provided with a mounting cylinder 4. The mounting cylinder 4 contains a second mounting rod 5. The side walls of the first mounting rod 2 and the second mounting rod 5 are provided with a first trapping mechanism for trapping insects. The first trapping mechanism includes two first crossbars 3 set on the side walls of the first mounting rod 2 and the second mounting rod 5. The two first crossbars 3 are respectively provided with a first insecticidal lamp 8 and a second insecticidal lamp 9. The second mounting rod 5 is provided with an electrical control box 6, which contains a control circuit board and has a light sensor on its exterior.
[0023] The second horizontal bar 15 has a second trapping mechanism for capturing insects on its side wall. The second trapping mechanism includes a second horizontal bar 15 set on the side wall of the second mounting rod 5. A sex pheromone trap 11 is set on the second horizontal bar 15. For lepidopteran pests such as sunflower borers and cotton bollworms, the sex pheromone trap 11 uses artificially synthesized sex pheromones to attract male insects for capture. At the same time, it can reduce the number of pests by interfering with the mating of pests.
[0024] Furthermore, the second mounting rod 5 has a connecting rod 12 on its side wall, and the mounting housing 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 12. The mounting housing 13 has a yellow sticky insect board 14 inside. For piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, aphids have a strong attraction to yellow. Aphids that climb onto the yellow sticky insect board 14 will be stuck by the yellow sticky insect board 14.
[0025] Furthermore, the mounting housing 13 is made of acrylic material. The transparent mounting housing 13 makes it easier for aphids to observe, thereby improving the capture effect of aphids and other insects. The bottom of the mounting housing 13 is provided with a slope to facilitate the accumulation of rainwater inside the mounting housing 13.
[0026] Furthermore, both the first mounting rod 2 and the bottom rod 1 have connecting plates 10 on their side walls. The connecting plates 10 are connected by multiple bolts and nuts, allowing the first mounting rod 2 and the bottom rod 1 to be separated. The first bottom rod 1 has an inverted T-shaped cross section.
[0027] Furthermore, the second mounting rod 5 is threadedly connected to the mounting cylinder 4, making the height of the second mounting rod 5 adjustable. This allows the equipment to be placed among sunflowers of different varieties and stem heights, thereby expanding the applicability of the device. The electrical control box 6 is equipped with a solar panel 7, and the electrical control box 6 contains a battery, inverter, etc. (not shown in the figure), which reduces electricity costs.
[0028] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0029] In the sunflower field, pits are dug at certain intervals to bury the base pole 1. The base pole 1 is installed in the pit with cement. The electrical control box 6 is connected to the mains power. At night, the first insecticidal lamp 8 and the second insecticidal lamp 9 are lit. The first insecticidal lamp 8 and the second insecticidal lamp 9 can attract a variety of insects, including many insects such as Lepidoptera (such as moths), Coleoptera (such as beetles), and Homoptera (such as cicadas, aphids, and some winged aphids). The first insecticidal lamp 8 is tall and easily attracts winged insects, while the second insecticidal lamp 9 is close to the ground and easily attracts insects such as grasshoppers and locusts, making the insect capture range more extensive.
[0030] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
