Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of insect trapping technology, and more specifically, to an arthropod trapping device. Background Technology
[0002] In Northwest my country, numerous cultural heritage sites are located in arid and semi-arid regions. The cultural heritage in this area is primarily composed of grotto temples, which possess extremely important historical, artistic, and scientific value, serving as crucial witnesses to the progress of human civilization. Arid and semi-arid regions are typically rich in arthropod species. If these arthropods enter the caves and roam the surfaces of the artifacts, their tarsi and excrement can cause damage.
[0003] Faced with the serious threat posed by arthropods to the preservation of cultural relics, implementing scientific and effective monitoring and control measures is of paramount importance. In past prevention and control practices, traditional methods such as traps and barnacles were once highly regarded. Traps typically utilize the phototaxis and odor-attraction properties of insects, setting up specific traps to lure arthropods into them; barnacles work on a similar principle, using specially made jars with bait to attract targets. However, over long-term application, many drawbacks have gradually become apparent. On the one hand, these devices, placed inside caves, are easily buried by wind and sand, making it inconvenient to periodically retrieve and collect the captured insects, affecting the accuracy of investigation and research results, and making it difficult to accurately assess the effectiveness of prevention and control. On the other hand, desert areas are prone to sandstorms, with sand continuously flowing into the area around the devices, making cleanup work arduous and complex, making traditional methods extremely difficult to implement in practice and unable to meet the needs of long-term cultural heritage protection. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides an arthropod trapping device 100, including a guide chamber 110 with an opening at the top and a trapping chamber 120 disposed at the bottom of the guide chamber 110. The trapping chamber 120 has a trapping opening 1211 on its side wall for arthropods to enter. The bottom of the guide chamber 110 also has a sand trough 112 surrounding the trapping chamber 120. A filter screen 114 is disposed above the sand trough 112. The filter screen 114 is flush with the bottom of the trapping opening 1211. The guide chamber 110 is disposed in the excavated space of the preset trapping position so that the upper surface of the guide chamber 110 is flush with the upper surface of the preset trapping position.
[0028] The arthropod trapping device 100 of this application mainly consists of a guide chamber 110 with an opening at the top and a trapping chamber 120 located at the bottom of the guide chamber 110. The guide chamber 110 plays a key role in guiding arthropods to move into the trapping chamber 120. Its unique design can adapt to the complex environment inside the cave. The trapping chamber 120 has a trapping opening 1211 carefully opened on its side wall to provide a passage for arthropods to enter the trapping chamber 120. At the bottom of the guide chamber 110, a sand-containing trough 112 is set around the perimeter of the trapping chamber 120. The filter screen 114 equipped above it is at the same height as the bottom of the trapping opening 1211. This not only does not hinder arthropods from entering the trapping chamber 120, but also effectively prevents a large amount of sand carried by wind and sand from flowing into the trapping chamber 120, avoiding sand accumulation that may affect the normal operation of the device. The guide chamber 110 is placed in the space excavated below the preset trapping position, and the upper surface of the guide chamber 110 is flush with the upper surface of the preset trapping position. In this way, the device is integrated with the cave floor, minimizing the direct impact of wind and sand on the device, and at the same time, it will not interfere with the original layout and environment inside the cave.
[0029] When arthropods move within the cave, the clever design of the guide chamber 110 and the scent emitted by the added bait attract them. They enter through the opening of the guide chamber 110 and, as they move towards the trapping chamber 120, are naturally drawn in by the well-designed trapping opening 1211, making escape difficult once inside. During sandstorms, when the sand carried by the wind encounters the guide chamber 110, most of the sand slides down its upper surface to the surrounding area. The small amount of sand that enters the guide chamber 110 is intercepted in the sand-receiving trough 112, preventing it from entering the trapping chamber 120 and affecting the trapping effect. This ensures the device operates continuously and stably even in harsh environments.
[0030] The arthropod trapping device 100 provided in this application includes a guide chamber 110 with an opening at the top and a trapping chamber 120 disposed at the bottom of the guide chamber 110. The trapping chamber 120 has a trapping opening 1211 on its side wall for arthropods to enter. The bottom of the guide chamber 110 also has a sand trough 112 surrounding the trapping chamber 120. A filter screen 114 is disposed above the sand trough 112. The filter screen 114 is flush with the bottom of the trapping opening 1211. The guide chamber 110 is disposed in the excavated space of the preset trapping position so that the upper surface of the guide chamber 110 is flush with the upper surface of the preset trapping position. Compared to traditional trapping and barn trapping methods, this application, by incorporating a sand-containing trough 112 and a filter screen 114, successfully solves the problems of wind-blown sand burial and sand accumulation causing device failure. This effectively prevents sand from entering the trapping chamber 120, ensuring the normal operation of the internal trapping mechanism. The trough provides storage space for any small amounts of sand that enters, preventing its accumulation from affecting the overall performance of the device and greatly improving its stability and reliability in desert sandy environments. Through the rational design of the guide chamber 110 and the trapping chamber 120, and by optimizing the trapping path based on the habits of arthropods, the success rate of trapping is increased, more effectively preventing arthropods from damaging cultural relics in the cave and truly safeguarding the safety of cultural heritage.
[0031] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the trapping chamber 120 includes a trapping box 121 and a sunshade 122 disposed on the trapping box 121, and the trapping opening 1211 is disposed on the side wall of the trapping box 121.
[0032] Specifically, the trap box 121, as the main body directly containing arthropods, has a trap opening 1211 on its side wall that serves as the passage for arthropods to enter. The sunshade 122 has multiple functions. On the one hand, it creates a relatively dark environment inside the trap box 121, which matches the habit of many arthropods that prefer dark habitats, attracting them to actively approach and enter the trap box 121. On the other hand, the sunshade 122 can provide some protection for the components inside the trap box 121, preventing foreign objects such as wind, sand, and dust from falling in, and ensuring the stable operation of the trapping mechanism.
[0033] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a bait installation box 130 is provided inside the trap box 121, and the bait installation box 130 contains bait liquid.
[0034] A bait installation box 130 is added inside the trap box 121, containing bait liquid. This is based on the characteristic that arthropods are sensitive to the smell of food. The bait liquid continuously emits a specific odor, which can attract arthropods to the trapping device over a large area. Different types of bait liquid can be formulated for different arthropod communities to achieve precise trapping and improve the device's ability to control various arthropods that threaten cultural relics.
[0035] The bait installation box 130 is detachably installed at the bottom of the trap box 121. When it is necessary to replace the bait liquid in the bait installation box 130, the bait installation box 130 is removed from the trap box 121.
[0036] Furthermore, the sunshade 122 and the trap box 121 are snap-fitted or threaded together. This allows for quick and efficient cleaning of the trap box 121, bait replacement, or internal inspection, saving time for staff. The threaded connection provides a tighter seal, further preventing wind and sand from entering the trap box 121, ensuring a stable internal environment, and maintaining a secure connection even under vibration or wind and sand impact, thus guaranteeing the overall reliability of the device.
[0037] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the guide chamber 110 is provided with an installation groove 111, the trap box 121 is placed inside the installation groove 111, and the sand holding groove 112 surrounds the outer perimeter of the installation groove 111. The depth of the installation groove 111 is greater than the depth of the sand holding groove 112. The installation groove 111 at the bottom of the guide chamber 110 is used to place the trap box 121. This layered nesting design makes the device structure more compact and stable. The installation groove 111 provides precise positioning for the trap box 121, ensuring that the relative position of the trap opening 1211 with the guide chamber 110, filter screen 114 and other components is accurate, ensuring a smooth arthropod trapping process. The sand containment trough 112 is set around the installation trough 111, and the depth of the installation trough 111 is greater than the depth of the sand containment trough 112, so as to ensure that the arthropods in the trap box 121 will not escape. This can not only ensure the stable placement of the trap box 121, but also give full play to the function of the sand containment trough 112 in intercepting wind and sand. Even under the impact of strong wind and sand, the normal cooperation of the various components of the device can be maintained.
[0038] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the area of the opening at the top of the guide chamber 110 is larger than the area of the bottom mounting surface. This design, with its wider top and narrower bottom, expands the sensory range of arthropods, attracting their attention from a distance and guiding more arthropods towards the opening. Simultaneously, during sandstorms, the wider-top-narrower-bottom structure acts like a deflector, guiding some sand down the outer wall of the guide chamber 110, reducing the amount of sand directly entering the chamber, decreasing the burden on the filter screen 114 and the sand-containing trough 112, and enhancing the device's adaptability in sandstorm environments.
[0039] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a fixing rod 140 is also provided on the outer side of the bottom of the guide chamber 110. When the guide chamber 110 is installed in the preset trapping position, the fixing rod 140 is vertically inserted into the excavated space of the preset trapping position. When the device is installed in the excavated space of the preset trapping position, the fixing rod 140 is vertically inserted into it. This design provides the device with additional anchoring force, enabling it to be firmly rooted in soft cave ground or when encountering wind and sand impacts, avoiding displacement or tipping due to external forces, ensuring that the trapping process is undisturbed and can function continuously and stably.
[0040] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a barb 142 is provided at the end of the fixing rod 140 away from the guide chamber 110. The barb 142 at the end of the fixing rod 140 away from the guide chamber 110 further enhances the fixing effect. When the soil on the cave floor is relatively loose or has gaps, the barb 142 can embed itself into it, forming a stronger anchoring force, preventing the fixing rod 140 from being pulled out under extreme conditions such as wind ripping or vibration, providing more reliable fixing protection for the device, and ensuring stable operation for a long time in harsh environments.
[0041] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a counterweight groove 113 is also provided at the bottom of the guide chamber 110, and the counterweight groove 113 is filled with sand to increase the counterweight. The provision of a counterweight groove 113 at the bottom of the guide chamber 110 and the addition of sand to increase the counterweight is another optimization measure to improve the stability of the device in windy and sandy environments. When wind and sand blow, the sand in the counterweight groove 113 lowers the center of gravity of the device, enhances the bottom friction and anti-overturning ability, effectively prevents the device from being overturned or displaced by strong winds, and works in conjunction with components such as the fixing rod 140 to ensure that the device remains motionless under harsh weather conditions and continues to trap arthropods.
[0042] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing rod 140 includes multiple insert rods 141 that are sequentially sleeved together, and two sleeved insert rods 141 are locked together by a locking device. The fixing rod 140's structure, which uses multiple insert rods 141 sequentially sleeved together and locked together by a locking device, provides the fixing rod 140 with an adjustable length. Different caves have different preset trapping locations with varying ground depths and soil conditions, allowing for flexible adjustment of the fixing rod 140's length to ensure sufficient insertion depth for stable support. Simultaneously, the sleeved structure facilitates transportation and storage, reduces the overall size of the device, and makes it convenient to handle and install in narrow cave passages, improving the practicality of cultural relic preservation work.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
