Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insect trapping technology, specifically relating to the capture of pine cicada larvae. Background Technology

[0002] The larvae of the pine butterfly represent the early developmental stage of its life cycle. Belonging to the order Hemiptera, the pine butterfly is a common plant pest, particularly damaging to pine trees. The larvae form a white, foamy substance on the trunk, branches, and under the leaves to protect themselves from environmental influences and predators. Although pine butterfly larvae cannot fly, the foamy protective layer they form during reproduction makes them very difficult to spot or capture on host trees, increasing the difficulty of control.

[0003] Common pine bug larvae are usually controlled by chemical methods, but some chemical pesticides can have side effects on the plants themselves, causing plant growth to be restricted or other adverse reactions. In particular, with long-term use, plants are more susceptible to other diseases. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for capturing pine cricket larvae, which can physically scrape the larvae off tree trunks, effectively reducing the number of larvae, thereby reducing the reproductive opportunities of adult crickets, reducing the overall number of pine crickets, and at the same time reducing the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A method for catching cicada larvae includes a handle with a base plate mounted at its top. A scraping mechanism is located on the top of the base plate. The scraping mechanism comprises: two rotating components connected to the top of the base plate via ear plates; two scraping components connected to the top of the rotating components; two connecting components, one end of each connecting component connected to the front of the two rotating components via a pivot; a connecting frame connected to the other end of the two connecting components via a pivot and located inside the rotating components; and a pull rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, and the other end of which passes through the base plate and extends to the bottom of the handle, the pull rod being movably disposed inside the handle.

[0007] Preferably, a box is fixedly connected to the side surface of the bottom plate, the insect scraping mechanism is located inside the box, and a collection box is installed on the rear side of the box.

[0008] Preferably, the two sides of the box are fixedly connected with snap-fit ​​posts, and the two sides of the collection box are connected with snap hooks, which snap onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​posts.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the housing has two horizontal slots, and the two rotating parts are respectively movably disposed inside the two horizontal slots.

[0010] Preferably, the insect scraper is conical in shape and is tilted backward and connected to the top of the rotating component.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to an anti-slip post, and the surface of the anti-slip post is connected with protrusions.

[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, when capturing pine cricket larvae, one can first hold the handle and lift it up, simultaneously placing the two scraping parts on the tree trunk surface. Then, pull the lever downwards. The downward pull causes the connecting frame to move downwards, which in turn causes one end of the two connecting parts to move downwards. At the same time, the other end of the connecting parts pulls the two rotating parts to rotate inwards around the pivot of the ear plate. When the two rotating parts rotate inwards simultaneously, the top scraping part moves inwards and surrounds the tree trunk surface. Then, pull the scraping mechanism along the direction of the tree trunk to scrape off the larvae on the trunk under the surrounding of the scraping parts. Although it is impossible to remove all larvae, regular scraping of the tree trunk can effectively reduce the number of larvae, thereby reducing the reproduction opportunities of adult crickets and reducing the overall number of pine crickets. Compared with chemical methods, physical control has no environmental pollution risks and is easy to monitor and manage. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the method for catching pine cicada larvae includes a handle 1, with a base plate 2 mounted on the top of the handle 1. A scraping mechanism is located on the top of the base plate 2. The scraping mechanism includes: two rotating parts 201 connected to the top of the base plate 2 via ear plates; two scraping parts 202 connected to the top of the rotating parts 201; two connecting parts 203, one end of each connecting part 203 connected to the front of the two rotating parts 201 via a pivot; a connecting frame 204 connected to the other end of each connecting part 203 via a pivot and located inside the rotating parts 201; and a pull rod 205, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 204. At the bottom of frame 204, the other end of pull rod 205 passes through base plate 2 and extends to the bottom of handle rod 1. Pull rod 205 is movably set inside handle rod 1. With the cooperation of the insect scraping mechanism, the insect scraping piece 202 can be flexibly made to surround the trunk according to the diameter of the trunk. Then, by pulling the insect scraping piece 202, the larvae on the trunk can be scraped off. By pulling the insect scraping piece 202, a one-time operation can efficiently remove pine leafhopper larvae from a large area. Compared with manual removal of insects one by one or other methods, it saves time and effort, avoids the problem of pest resistance that may be caused by frequent use of chemical pesticides, and also protects other non-target organisms in the ecosystem.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a box 3 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the base plate 2. The insect scraping mechanism is set inside the box 3. A collection box 4 is installed on the rear side of the box 3. The insect scraping mechanism is hidden inside the box 3, which can effectively protect it from interference and damage from the external environment, thereby extending the service life of the mechanism. In addition, by setting the collection box 4, the scraped insects and debris can be collected in the collection box 4, avoiding the insects from flying or falling during the insect scraping process. This not only protects the surrounding environment but also prevents larvae from falling onto the tree trunk and causing further damage to the tree trunk.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the two sides of the box 3 are fixedly connected with snap-fit ​​posts 401, and the two sides of the collection box 4 are connected with snap hooks 402. The snap hooks 402 snap onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​posts 401. By engaging the snap hooks 402 on both sides of the collection box 4 with the snap-fit ​​posts 401, the collection box 4 can be quickly and firmly connected to the box 3 without the need for complicated tools or multiple steps. The installation process is simple and efficient. Similarly, the snap-fit ​​design of the snap hooks 402 and the snap-fit ​​posts 401 also makes the collection box 4 easy to disassemble, which is convenient for cleaning the insect eggs and debris collected inside.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the housing 3 has two horizontal slots 5, and two rotating parts 201 are respectively movably disposed inside the two horizontal slots 5. When the rotating parts 201 are running and rotating, they will move flexibly inside the horizontal slots 5, so that the rotating parts 201 have sufficient operating space and prevent the rotating parts 201 from colliding with the housing 3 and causing motion interference during operation.

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the insect scraper 202 is cone-shaped and is connected to the top of the rotating part 201 at a backward tilt. The cone-shaped insect scraper 202 can effectively guide insects or other debris into the collection box 4, preventing debris from scattering and improving cleaning efficiency. The cone-shaped structure can more easily reach the accumulated insects, ensuring thorough cleaning. At the same time, the tilted insect scraper 202 makes it easy for insects or debris to slide into the collection box 4 along the slope, reducing the possibility of insect residue and ensuring that most insects can be removed in time.

[0025] like Figures 1-2 As shown, an anti-slip post 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pull rod 205. The surface of the anti-slip post 6 is connected with protrusions. When the pull rod 205 is pulled down, the operator can hold the pull rod 205 and pull it down. The protrusions on the surface of the anti-slip post 6 can effectively increase the friction when the palm contacts the rod, thereby preventing the palm from slipping during the pulling of the pull rod 205.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When capturing pine cricket larvae, first hold the handle rod 1 and lift it up, while simultaneously placing the two insect-scraping parts 202 on the surface of the tree trunk. Then pull down the pull rod 205. After the pull rod 205 is pulled down, it can drive the connecting frame 204 to move downward. The connecting frame 204 will drive one end of the two connecting parts 203 to move downward. At the same time, the other end of the connecting parts 203 will pull the two rotating parts 201 to rotate inward around the axis of the ear plate. When the two rotating parts 201 rotate inward at the same time, they can drive the top insect-scraping parts 202 to move inward and surround the surface of the tree trunk. Then, pull the scraping mechanism along the direction of the tree trunk. The larvae on the tree trunk can be scraped off under the surrounding of the insect-scraping parts 202. Although it is impossible to remove all larvae, regular scraping of the tree trunk can effectively reduce the number of larvae, thereby reducing the reproduction opportunities of adult insects and reducing the overall number of pine crickets. Compared with chemical methods, physical control has no environmental pollution risks and is easy to supervise and manage.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
