Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural and forestry pest control technology, specifically relating to a moth trap. Background Technology

[0002] Moth pests pose a significant threat to agricultural production, and their accurate forecasting and effective control have always been a key focus of agricultural scientific research. Sex pheromone trap technology, based on the behavioral characteristics of male moths tracking sex pheromones released by females, provides a highly efficient and environmentally friendly method for controlling moth pests. This technology has played a crucial role in pest forecasting and control, making a significant contribution to ensuring my country's food security.

[0003] To utilize sex pheromone traps more effectively, researchers have designed a variety of trap types based on different moth pests. These traps come in various shapes, including but not limited to cylindrical, noctuid moth, white triangular, funnel, arched hanging, boat, dry baffle, window, and water basin types. These designs aim to optimize trapping effects and improve the practicality and targeting of the traps.

[0004] However, existing conventional traps mainly rely on insect sex pheromones as the sole attractant for adult insects, which limits the trapping efficiency to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a moth trap that solves the problems of existing traps having a single sex pheromone and low trapping efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A moth trap is provided, comprising an insect-attracting cylinder, a top cover at the top of the insect-attracting cylinder, a hanging part at the upper end of the top cover, and an attractant core on the lower surface of the top cover, the attractant core being disposed inside the insect-attracting cylinder;

[0008] The insect-attracting cylinder has an insect-inlet area and an air-vent area at the top, with the air-vent area and the insect-inlet area spaced apart. The insect-attracting cylinder also has a trapping area at the bottom, with a metal sheet on the surface of the trapping area. Below the trapping area is an inverted truncated cone, with a collection part at the lower end of the inverted truncated cone.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The top cover at the upper end of the insect-attracting cylinder is used to suspend and protect the lure, preventing rainwater from entering the trap. The lure attracts male moths by releasing sex pheromones. The insect entry area set above the insect-attracting cylinder provides a channel for moths to enter the trap. The ventilation area allows air circulation and also serves as a channel for the release of sex pheromones. In addition, the insect entry area and the ventilation area are set alternately, which ensures that moths can enter the trap smoothly while ensuring air circulation inside the trap, preventing moths from dying due to lack of oxygen. The surface of the attraction area set below the insect-attracting cylinder is equipped with metal sheets. As the temperature drops naturally at night, the metal sheets will quickly form dew, thereby increasing the attraction factor for male moths and significantly improving the trap's trapping efficiency. This makes it easier for male moths to be attracted and stay on the trap, and the trapped moths can be gathered in the collection section for easy collection and processing.

[0010] This trap has a simple structure and is easy to install. It integrates sex pheromone and dew attraction, making full use of the tracking behavior of male moths for sex pheromones and their biological characteristic of needing to replenish water, thus effectively improving the trapping efficiency of male moths.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the metal sheet is 3 to 4 cm.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the metal sheet with a width of 3-4 cm set on the surface of the trapping area can quickly cool down and condense dew at night, and can also effectively attract male moths, thereby increasing the trapping rate of moths. In addition, the width of 3-4 cm can ensure that the metal sheet has sufficient strength and stability, and is not easily deformed or damaged by external forces, thus ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the trap.

[0013] Furthermore, the suspension part includes a lifting lug, which is disposed on the upper surface of the top cover and has a suspension hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the lugs and hanging holes make it easy to hang the trap in the field or laboratory, preventing it from falling off or being damaged due to external forces. At the same time, it greatly simplifies the fixing and disassembly structure and enables the trap to be quickly and securely placed in different locations.

[0015] Furthermore, the insect inlet area includes an insect inlet hole, inside which a blocking plate is installed; the ventilation hole area includes a number of equidistant ventilation holes.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the inlet hole is the channel for moths to enter the trap, and the blocking plate is set as a one-way passage structure, which allows moths to enter the trap from the outside, but prevents them from escaping from the inside of the trap, thereby greatly improving the capture rate of the trap.

[0017] Furthermore, the diameter of the vent holes is <3mm.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the ventilation holes with a diameter of <3mm can not only ensure air circulation inside the trap, but also prevent the trapped moths from escaping, thereby improving the capture rate.

[0019] Furthermore, the collection section includes a collection bag, which is fixedly connected to a fixing rod located at the lower end of the inverted truncated cone.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the collection bag can be fixed to the fixed pole by fixing ropes, etc., which is convenient for installation and disassembly and ensures ease of use. The collection bag is used to collect the trapped male moths. The inverted cone-shaped body allows the trapped male moths to slide smoothly and fall into the collection bag, thereby achieving efficient collection of moths.

[0021] Furthermore, the collecting bottle is threaded to the lower end of the inverted truncated cone.

[0022] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the threaded connection makes it easy to disassemble and replace the collection bottle. When the user needs to empty the collection bottle, replace it with a new one, or maintain the trap, the collection bottle can be disassembled and installed simply by rotating it, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

[0023] Furthermore, a first fixing hole is provided on one side of the metal sheet, and a second fixing hole matching the first fixing hole is provided in the attracting area. The second fixing hole and the first fixing hole are connected by fasteners.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the first fixing hole is set on the metal plate, while the second fixing hole is set on the trapping area. The two are connected by fasteners (such as screws, bolts, etc.), which facilitates installation and disassembly. This not only ensures the stability of the trapping device, but also prevents the metal plate from loosening or falling off during use, thereby ensuring the trapping effect and service life of the trapping device.

[0025] Furthermore, the metal sheet is bonded to the surface of the attraction area using an adhesive.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: using adhesive to connect the metal sheet to the surface of the trapping area can greatly simplify the assembly process of the trap, thereby saving assembly time and cost.

[0027] In summary, the moth trap provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) The moth trap uses two methods: sex pheromone and dew attraction. The sex pheromone attracts male moths, while the dew on the metal plate provides an additional attraction factor, increasing the likelihood that male moths will stay on the trap, thus significantly improving the trapping efficiency of male moths.

[0029] (2) The barrier plate set in the inlet hole of the moth trap allows the moth to enter the trap from the outside, but prevents it from escaping from the inside, thereby improving the trap's capture rate. In addition, this one-way moth trapping design allows the trap to continuously and stably attract and capture male moths. Attached Figure Description

However, it should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of this utility model as defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious. All utility model creations utilizing the concept of this utility model are within the scope of protection.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1-2As shown, the moth trap provided by this utility model includes an insect-attracting cylinder 1, a top cover 2 at the top of the insect-attracting cylinder 1, an attractant core 3 on the top cover 2, and the attractant core 3 inside the insect-attracting cylinder 1; an insect-entry area and an air-venting area are provided above the insect-attracting cylinder 1, with the air-venting area and the insect-entry area spaced apart; a collection area 6 is provided below the insect-attracting cylinder 1, a metal sheet 8 is provided on the surface of the collection area 6, and the metal sheet 8 is connected to the surface of the collection area 6 by an adhesive; an inverted truncated cone 7 is provided below the collection area 6, and a collection part is provided at the lower end of the inverted truncated cone 7. In use, the insect-attracting cylinder 1 provides a closed or semi-closed space to accommodate the lure 3 and collect freshly trapped moths. The top cover 2 at the upper end of the insect-attracting cylinder 1 is used to suspend and protect the lure 3, preventing rainwater from entering the trap. The lure 3 attracts male moths by releasing sex pheromones. The insect-entry area located above the insect-attracting cylinder 1 provides a passage for moths to enter the trap. The ventilation area allows air circulation and also serves as a channel for the release of sex pheromones. Furthermore, the insect-entry area and the ventilation area are spaced apart to ensure the moths... The trap allows moths to enter smoothly while ensuring air circulation inside, preventing them from dying due to lack of oxygen. The surface of the attraction area 6, located below the insect-attracting cylinder 1, is equipped with a metal plate 8, which is 3-4 cm wide. As the temperature drops naturally at night, the metal plate 8 quickly forms dew, thus increasing the attraction factor for male moths. This significantly improves the trap's trapping efficiency, making it easier for male moths to be attracted and stay on the trap. The trapped moths can then be gathered in the collection section for easy collection and processing.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the suspension part includes a hanging lug 9, which is disposed on the upper surface of the top cover 2. The hanging lug 9 is provided with a hanging hole 10. The hanging lug 9 and the hanging hole 10 can facilitate the suspension of the trap in the field or laboratory, preventing it from falling off or being damaged due to external forces. At the same time, it greatly simplifies the fixing and disassembly structure and can also realize the quick and easy fixing of the trap in different locations.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the insect entry area includes an insect entry hole 4, which can be circular, square, or triangular in shape. A baffle plate is installed inside the insect entry hole 4; the baffle plate can be fish basket shaped or star-shaped, gradually narrowing from the outside in. The ventilation area includes several equidistant ventilation holes 5, with a diameter <3mm. The insect entry hole 4 serves as the channel for moths to enter the trap. The baffle plate is designed as a one-way passage structure, allowing moths to enter the trap from the outside while preventing them from escaping from inside, thus greatly improving the trap's capture rate.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the collection unit includes a collection bag 11, which is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 12. The fixing rod 12 is located at the lower end of the inverted truncated cone 7. The collection bag 11 can be fixed to the fixing rod 12 by a fixing rope or the like, which facilitates installation and disassembly and ensures ease of use. The collection bag 11 is used to collect the trapped male moths. The inverted truncated cone 7 allows the trapped male moths to slide smoothly and fall into the collection bag 11, thereby achieving efficient collection of moths.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] In this embodiment, the collection bottle 13 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the inverted truncated cone 7. A first fixing hole is provided on one side of the metal plate 8, and a second fixing hole matching the first fixing hole is provided in the trapping area 6. The second fixing hole and the first fixing hole are connected by fasteners. Other structures and connections are the same as in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the threaded connection facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the collection bottle 13. When the user needs to empty the collection bottle 13, replace it with a new one, or maintain the trap, the collection bottle 13 can be disassembled and installed simply by rotating it, which greatly improves the ease of use. The metal plate 8 is connected to the trapping area 6 by fasteners (such as screws, bolts, etc.), which facilitates installation and disassembly. This not only ensures the stability of the trap but also prevents the metal plate 8 from loosening or falling off during use, thereby ensuring the trapping effect and service life of the trap.

[0042] In summary, the moth trap provided by this utility model significantly improves the trapping efficiency of male moths by integrating sex pheromones and dew attraction. The sex pheromones attract male moths closer, while the dew on the metal plate 8 provides an additional attraction factor, increasing the likelihood that male moths will stay on the trap.
