Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insect-catching equipment technology, specifically an ecological insect trap. Background Technology

[0002] In agriculture, forestry, urban greening, and ecological protection, pest problems have always been a concern requiring continuous attention and solutions. Pests not only damage crop growth, affecting the yield and quality of agricultural products, but they can also harm the ecological environment and disrupt ecological balance. With the rise of healthy and green agriculture, people have increasingly higher demands for pesticide-free, high-quality agricultural products. Therefore, seeking environmentally friendly and efficient pest control methods is particularly important.

[0003] Traditional pest control methods mainly include chemical pesticide spraying, physical insect trapping (such as using high-voltage electric grids and sticky traps), and biological control. However, these methods all have certain limitations. While chemical pesticide spraying is fast-acting, long-term use can lead to pesticide resistance in pests and also pollute the environment, affecting the safety of agricultural products. Physical insect trapping methods are environmentally friendly, but their efficiency is often low, and they are difficult to achieve ideal control effects for pests that fly at high altitudes or have large ranges. Although biological control has the advantages of long-term sustainability, its application is limited by various factors such as environmental conditions and pest species.

[0004] Against this backdrop, ecological insect traps have gradually gained attention as a novel pest control method. Ecological insect traps utilize the biological characteristics of pests, such as phototaxis and odor attraction, to attract and kill them through specific light sources, odor sources, or trap structures, thereby achieving pest control. This method is not only environmentally friendly and efficient, but also reduces environmental pollution and threats to agricultural product safety.

[0005] However, outdoor insect traps all use open, exposed conductive meshes in conjunction with trapping lights to attract pests. On the one hand, the open electric grid structure is easily affected by factors such as environmental humidity and the accumulation of insects, which leads to a decrease in the electric field strength. When pests come into contact with the electric grid, they may only be injured rather than killed, and some surviving individuals may still escape the killing range. On the other hand, the remains of the pests that are knocked down are scattered directly on the ground, which not only creates unsanitary dead spots and breeds bacteria, but also attracts scavengers to gather and disrupt the food chain, increasing the cost of environmental maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems of low operational efficiency and high environmental maintenance costs in the existing technology for pest trapping, this utility model provides an ecological insect trap.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] An ecological insect trap includes a shell, and inside the shell, from top to bottom, there is a support plate, a conductive net for attracting insects, a light strip for attracting insects, and a power supply.

[0009] The support plate is evenly distributed with trapping inlets that can connect the top and bottom. The trapping inlets are generally in the shape of a cone with a larger top and a smaller bottom.

[0010] The trapping light strip is wrapped around the inner wall of the housing;

[0011] The power supply is electrically connected to the trapping conductive net and the trapping lamp.

[0012] The vertical arrangement of the conductive net and the light strip inside the casing reduces the openness for pest capture, and the design of the trapping inlet further reduces the chance of pests escaping. At the same time, the remains of pests can accumulate inside the casing, preventing them from scattering on the ground and reducing environmental maintenance costs.

[0013] A further improvement of this invention is that the aforementioned conductive net for trapping pests includes multiple hollow conductive units, which are spliced ​​together to form the conductive net. The conductive net formed by splicing the hollow conductive units increases the effective area for trapping pests, thereby improving the success rate of trapping.

[0014] A further improvement of this invention is that the aforementioned trapping conductive unit is a hexagonal frame. This hexagonal frame helps to improve the structural strength, killing efficiency, and insect passage of the trapping conductive net.

[0015] A further improvement of this invention is that a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided below the hexagonal frame, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are in the form of a U-shape and connected to the hexagonal frame. The reinforcing ribs and the hexagonal frame can form a composite truss effect, further improving the structural strength.

[0016] A further improvement of this invention is that the two ends of the aforementioned reinforcing rib are respectively connected to the midpoints of opposite sides of the hexagonal frame. This helps to eliminate the problem of stress concentration in the hexagonal frame.

[0017] A further improvement of this invention is that the upper part of the trapping inlet is connected to the support plate; and the lower part of the trapping inlet has multiple expansion openings. These expansion openings increase the passage capacity for larger insects.

[0018] A further improvement of this invention is that the support plate is made of a transparent material. The transparent material of the support plate increases the light transmittance of the trapping light strip, thereby improving the success rate of trapping pests.

[0019] A further improvement of this invention is that an annular, transparent acrylic plate is provided on the inner wall of the aforementioned housing, and the outer ring of the acrylic plate is connected to the trapping light strip. The connection between the transparent acrylic plate and the trapping light strip concentrates the light intensity at the inner edge of the acrylic plate, optimizing the angle at which the light source diverges outward from the housing.

[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the vertical arrangement of the trapping conductive net and the trapping light strip inside the shell reduces the degree of openness for pest capture, and the setting of the trapping inlet reduces the chance of pests escaping; at the same time, the remains of pests can accumulate inside the shell, preventing them from scattering on the ground and reducing environmental maintenance costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0031] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses an ecological insect trap, including a housing 10. Inside the housing 10, from top to bottom, are a support plate 23, a conductive trapping net 31, a trapping light strip 34, and a power supply 42. The power supply 42 is electrically connected to the conductive trapping net 31 and the trapping light strip 34. The vertical arrangement of the conductive trapping net 31 and the trapping light strip 34 within the housing 10 reduces the openness for insect capture, and, combined with the trapping inlet 22, lowers the chance of insect escape. Simultaneously, insect remains can accumulate inside the housing 10, preventing them from scattering on the ground and increasing environmental maintenance costs.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the support plate 23 has evenly distributed trapping inlets 22 that connect the upper and lower parts. The trapping inlets 22 are generally conical in shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The upper part of the trapping inlet 22 is connected to the support plate 23. The lower part of the trapping inlet 22 has multiple expansion openings 221. The multiple expansion openings 221 increase the adaptability and passage of larger insects.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the support plate 23 is made of transparent material. The transparent material of the support plate 23 increases the light transmittance of the trapping light strip 34, thereby improving the success rate of trapping pests.

[0034] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the trapping conductive net 31 includes multiple hollowed-out trapping conductive units 32, which are spliced ​​together to form the trapping conductive net 31. The trapping conductive net 31 formed by splicing the hollowed-out trapping conductive units 32 increases the effective area for trapping pests and improves the capture success rate.

[0035] The trapping conductive unit 32 is a hexagonal frame 321. This hexagonal frame 321 helps to improve the structural strength, killing efficiency, and insect passage of the trapping conductive net 31.

[0036] The hexagonal frame 321 has several reinforcing ribs 322 at its lower part. These reinforcing ribs 322 form a U-shaped structure and connect to the hexagonal frame 321. The reinforcing ribs 322 and the hexagonal frame 321 create a composite truss effect, further enhancing the structural strength. The two ends of each reinforcing rib 322 are connected to the midpoints of opposite sides of the hexagonal frame 321. This helps to eliminate stress concentration in the hexagonal frame 321.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the trapping light strip 34 surrounds the inner wall of the housing 10; the inner wall of the housing 10 is also provided with an annular transparent acrylic plate 33, the outer ring of which is connected to the trapping light strip 34. The connection between the transparent acrylic plate 33 and the trapping light strip 34 concentrates the light brightness at the inner edge of the acrylic plate 33, optimizing the angle at which the light source diverges outward from the housing 10.

[0038] The light source of the trapping light strip 34 is a UV light source; however, depending on the insects being trapped, it can be replaced with a specific wavelength LED light source, a yellow / green composite light source, or a strobe light source.

[0039] The inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a groove, and the trapping light strip 34 is installed in the groove, which helps to reduce the dispersion of light passing through the acrylic plate 33 and maintain the concentration of light energy on the inner ring of the acrylic plate 33. The groove is adapted to the outer ring of the acrylic plate 33 to facilitate the embedding and installation of the acrylic plate 33 in the groove.

[0040] The top surface of the acrylic plate 33 is sloping downwards from the outside to the inside, which makes it easier for insects falling on the acrylic plate 33 to slide to one side and avoid the insects from gathering on its top surface and affecting the brightness.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the housing 10 is also provided with a drawer 41, which is installed below the acrylic plate 33 and is located on the side of the power supply 42. The drawer 41 is used to receive the insect body, making it convenient to clean up the collected insect remains.

[0042] To improve the collection of insects by drawer 41 and prevent insect remains from falling between drawer 41 and the inner wall of the housing, which would cause cleaning difficulties, a guide plate is also provided inside the housing 10. The guide plate can cover the gap formed between drawer 41 and the inner wall of housing 10 when the drawer 41 is placed in place. Similarly, the top surface of the guide plate has a guide surface that slopes downward toward one side of drawer 41. The guide plate covers the power supply 42.

[0043] The outer wall of the housing 10 is provided with a power interface for charging by the power supply 42.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 10 includes a first frame 20, a second frame 30, and a third frame 40, which are stacked from top to bottom to form the housing 10. A support plate 23 is disposed on the first frame 20; a trapping conductive net 31 and a trapping light strip 34 are disposed on the second frame 30; and a power supply 42 and a drawer 41 are disposed on the third frame 40. The bottom surfaces of both the first frame 20 and the second frame 30 are provided with downwardly extending guide sections 24, which provide guidance for the installation of the upper frame on the lower frame. Taking the first frame 20 as an example, the guide sections 24 on the first frame 20 can be disposed near the outer side or near the inner side of the first frame 20; that is, when the first frame 20 is placed on the second frame 30, the guide sections 24 disposed on the outer side are outside the second frame 30, and similarly, the guide sections 24 disposed on the inner side are inside the second frame 30.

[0045] The first frame 20 is also provided with a support frame 21, which is located above the support plate 23 and provides structural support for the first frame 20. In order to improve the applicability of this invention outdoors, a cover plate can be added to the upper part of the shell 10 to cover the shell 10. The cover plate is spaced above the shell 10 to prevent rainwater and debris from dripping down while leaving a gap for insects to enter.

[0046] The ecological insect trap described in this utility model has a vertical arrangement of the conductive net and the light strip inside the shell, which reduces the openness for capturing pests. Combined with the setting of the trap inlet, it reduces the chance of pests escaping. At the same time, the remains of pests can accumulate inside the shell, preventing them from scattering on the ground and reducing environmental maintenance costs.

[0047] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
