Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thermal fogging machines, specifically relating to a thermal fogging machine for killing red imported fire ants. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal fogging machines are a new type of high-efficiency pest and disease control equipment. They use oil-based pesticides as carriers and vaporize them instantly at high temperatures to form hot fog. The working principle is to use the high-temperature exhaust gas and kinetic energy generated by a pulse jet engine to vaporize the oil-based pesticides, thereby producing fog.

[0003] Currently, when using thermal fogging machines to kill red imported fire ants, a large amount of smoke overflows from the entrance of the ant nest, causing the smoke to spread into the air, resulting in waste and reduced killing efficiency. It also exposes on-site workers to the risk of inhaling the smoke, posing a safety hazard to their health. Therefore, a thermal fogging machine for killing red imported fire ants is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a thermal fogging machine for killing red imported fire ants, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A sealing device is provided on the surface of the nozzle. The sealing device includes two protective shells, each containing a telescopic cylinder. A balance plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two telescopic cylinders. A sealing hopper is fixedly connected to one end of the balance plate. A scraper ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing hopper. A limiting ring is fixedly connected to one end of the nozzle. A limiting groove is formed inside the sealing hopper. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove. A limiting ring is fixedly connected to one end of each spring. A contact ring is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting ring.

[0006] By setting up the above structure, the telescopic cylinder can drive the sealing bucket and scraper ring to move. The sealing bucket can tightly seal the red imported fire ant nest, effectively preventing the smoke from escaping, avoiding waste of pesticides, improving the efficiency of smoke killing, and reducing the risk of workers inhaling smoke. The scraper ring can scrape off impurities adhering to the surface of the spray nozzle, keeping the nozzle clean and reducing the workload of workers. In addition, when the sealing bucket comes into contact with the ant nest, the spring absorbs and buffers the impact force through elastic deformation, which can reduce the force at the moment of contact between the two and play a role in protecting the sealing bucket.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a heat insulation shell on top, and a driving reaction cylinder is provided inside the heat insulation shell, with a heat insulation mesh at one end of the driving reaction cylinder.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the driving reaction cylinder is provided with a sealing cylinder, and one end of the sealing cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the nozzle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, one end of each of the two protective shells is fixedly connected to one end of the heat insulation mesh, and the sealing hopper slides on the surface of the nozzle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the scraper ring is in contact with the surface of the nozzle, and the limiting slip ring slides on the inner wall of the limiting slip groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the base has a medicine box on top, a medicine valve at one end of the medicine box, an infusion tube at the top of the medicine valve, one end of the infusion tube being fixedly connected to the surface of the spray nozzle, and a battery box on top of the base.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with an oil tank at the top, and an oil pump is provided at the top of the oil tank. The oil pump is connected to the driving reaction cylinder, and an oil delivery valve pipe is provided at one end of the oil pump.

[0013] By setting a limiting ring at one end of the nozzle, the movement of the sealing device can be precisely limited, preventing the telescopic cylinder from causing the sealing bucket to slide excessively and detach from the nozzle surface. This ensures that the sealing device always maintains the correct working position on the nozzle, providing a solid guarantee for the efficient eradication of red imported fire ants.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention utilizes a telescopic cylinder, a sealing hopper, a scraper ring, and a spring. The telescopic cylinder moves the sealing hopper and scraper ring, allowing the sealing hopper to tightly seal the red imported fire ant nest, effectively preventing the escape of smoke from the ant control system, avoiding pesticide waste, improving smoke-killing efficiency, and reducing the risk of workers inhaling smoke. The scraper ring removes impurities adhering to the surface of the spray nozzle, keeping the nozzle clean and reducing the workload of workers. Furthermore, when the sealing hopper contacts the ant nest, the spring absorbs and buffers the impact force through elastic deformation, reducing the instantaneous force of contact and protecting the sealing hopper.

[0016] This invention, by setting a limiting ring at one end of the nozzle, can provide precise limiting for the movement of the sealing device, preventing the telescopic cylinder from causing the sealing bucket to slide excessively and detach from the nozzle surface. This ensures that the sealing device always maintains the correct working position on the nozzle, providing a solid guarantee for the efficient extermination of red imported fire ants.

A limit groove 707 is formed inside the sealing hopper 704. Multiple springs 708 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limit groove 707. A limit ring 709 is fixedly connected to one end of each spring 708. One end of the slip ring 709 is fixedly connected to a contact ring 710. By setting up a telescopic cylinder 702, a sealing bucket 704, a scraper ring 705, and a spring 708, the telescopic cylinder 702 can drive the sealing bucket 704 and the scraper ring 705 to move. The sealing bucket 704 can tightly seal the red imported fire ant nest, effectively preventing the smoke from escaping, avoiding waste of pesticides, improving the efficiency of smoke killing, and reducing the risk of workers inhaling smoke. The scraper ring 705 can scrape off impurities adhering to the surface of the nozzle 6, keeping the nozzle 6 clean and reducing the workload of workers. In addition, when the sealing bucket 704 comes into contact with the ant nest, the spring 708 absorbs and buffers the impact force through elastic deformation, which can reduce the force at the moment of contact between the two and play a role in protecting the sealing bucket 704.

[0025] The base 1 is provided with a heat insulation shell 2 on the top, and a driving reaction cylinder 3 is provided inside the heat insulation shell 2. A heat insulation net 4 is provided at one end of the driving reaction cylinder 3.

[0026] One end of the driving reaction cylinder 3 is provided with a sealing cylinder 5, and one end of the sealing cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the nozzle 6.

[0027] One end of each of the two protective shells 701 is fixedly connected to one end of the heat insulation net 4, and the sealing bucket 704 slides on the surface of the nozzle 6.

[0028] The scraper ring 705 is in contact with the surface of the nozzle 6, and the limiting slip ring 709 slides on the inner wall of the limiting slip groove 707.

[0029] The base 1 has a medicine box 8 on top, a medicine valve 9 at one end of the medicine box 8, an infusion tube 10 on top of the medicine valve 9, and one end of the infusion tube 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the nozzle 6.
