Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pest control technology, and in particular to a leafminer control device. Background Technology
[0002] The citrus leafminer is a pest found on all continents and in citrus-producing areas of my country. It damages citrus fruits such as kumquats, lemons, honesty, tangerines, mandarins, and oranges. It is a serious citrus pest.
[0003] In existing technologies, leaf miners are typically attracted using their sex pheromones. However, this method requires frequent replacement of the lure. Furthermore, different leaf miners exhibit behavioral differences; some may be more sensitive to pheromones, while others may be more attracted to light. Pheromones alone can only attract a portion of the pests. Therefore, two types of traps are usually installed, but this significantly increases cost and workload. In light of this, we propose a... Utility Model Content

[0025] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a leafminer control device, including a base plate 1, a pole 2 for installation fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, a collection box 3 for collecting leafminer carcasses fixedly connected to the upper end of the pole 2, a protective outer shell 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the collection box 3, a storage box 5 for pheromone storage fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell 4, a trapping lamp 6 for catching leafminers fixedly connected to the top wall of the outer shell 4, and an arc-shaped glass plate 7 for carrying pheromones fixedly connected to the top wall of the outer shell 4. The outer casing 4 is set outside the trapping lamp 6. The top wall of the casing 4 is fixedly connected to an electric grid 8 for killing leaf miners. The upper surface of the casing 4 is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 9. The upper end of the vertical rod 9 is fixedly connected to a rainproof umbrella 10. The bottom wall of the casing 4 has an annular through groove 11 extending into the collection box 3. The outer surface of the collection box 3 is provided with a closed door 12. A stabilizing component is provided on the bottom plate 1. The curved glass plate 7 can not only carry the leaf miner pheromones, but also does not affect the light illumination of the trapping lamp 6. The synergy of the two can improve the trapping range and the trapping success rate.
[0027] The stabilizing assembly includes a rotating ring 13 for driving, which is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The outer surface of the base plate 1 has a clearance groove 14 providing installation space, extending beyond the upper and lower sides of the rotating ring 13. A rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the clearance groove 14. A connecting block 16 for installation is fitted onto the outer surface of the rotating shaft 15. A stabilizing pin 17 for improving the stability of the base plate 1 after installation is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 16 away from the axis of the base plate 1. A limiting block 18 for limiting the rotation angle of the stabilizing pin 17 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 1. The limiting block 18 is located away from the base plate. An arc-shaped groove 19 for fitting the stabilizing pin 17 is provided on one side surface of the shaft. An L-shaped connecting rod 20 for connection and power transmission is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating ring 13. An arc-shaped plate 21 for limiting the rotation angle of the stabilizing pin 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped connecting rod 20 away from the rotating ring 13. A nozzle 22 for releasing pheromones is fixedly connected to the top wall of the outer shell 4. The nozzle 22 communicates with the interior of the storage box 5. The number of nozzles 22 is the same as the number of arc-shaped glass plates 7. The use of the stabilizing pin 17 can increase the convenience and stability when installing on muddy ground and avoid the problem of the prevention device tipping over due to strong winds.
[0028] The trapping lamp 6 and the electric grid 8 are both powered by an external power source, and the opening of the nozzle 22 can be manually controlled. These are all existing structures and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] Working principle: During installation, the pest control device is first transported to the designated location. Then, the stabilizing pin 17 is rotated to form a 90-degree angle with the base plate 1. The rotating ring 13 then drives the L-shaped connecting rod 20 to move, which in turn drives the arc-shaped plate 21 to move. The arc-shaped plate 21 then contacts the outer surface of the stabilizing pin 17, and at the same time, the stabilizing pin 17 also contacts the arc-shaped groove 19 on the limiting block 18, thus fixing the angle of the stabilizing pin 17. The stabilizing pin 17 is then inserted into the ground. Using multiple stabilizing pins 17 increases the stability of the pest control device during use. Furthermore, on hard ground, the stabilizing pin 17 can be rotated to form a 90-degree angle with the base plate. The trap is positioned at a horizontal angle and supported by the curved plate 21 to avoid damaging the stabilizing pin 17. At night, when the number of pests is within a certain range, only the trapping light 6 can be turned on to trap the leaf miners. After the leaf miners enter the interior of the outer shell 4, they come into contact with the electric grid 8 and are killed by the electric grid 8. After being killed, the pests enter the interior of the collection box 3 through the annular channel 11. When there are many pests, the liquid female leaf miner pheromones inside the storage box 5 can be sprayed onto the curved glass plate 7 through the nozzle 22, and the trapping light 6 can be turned on. Taking advantage of the large range of the trapping light 6, the leaf miners are attracted to the vicinity. Then, the leaf miner pheromones are used to make them fly more accurately to the trap, thereby increasing the trapping range.
[0030] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
