Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pest control technology, specifically relating to a non-killing insect-attracting lamp. Background Technology

[0002] In agriculture, horticulture, and forestry, pest control remains a crucial link in ensuring healthy crop growth and improving yield and quality. Physical control methods include insect-attracting lamps, which are relatively environmentally friendly tools. Traditional insect-attracting lamps typically use electric shock or sticky traps to kill attracted insects. Electric shock lamps generate sparks and high temperatures while killing pests, resulting in high energy consumption and potential environmental hazards, such as fires. Sticky traps require regular replacement of the sticky traps, making operation cumbersome and costly. Furthermore, the removal of trapped insect carcasses is difficult and prone to bacterial and viral growth. More importantly, both electric shock and sticky traps directly kill pests, failing to meet the needs for further pest research or ecological regulation. In ecologically sensitive areas or organic farming, a gentler, more sustainable pest control method is needed that effectively traps pests while preserving their integrity. This allows for subsequent research into pest ecology and population dynamics, providing a scientific basis for precision pest control.

[0003] As described in the authorization announcement number CN207544138U, a non-killing insect-attracting lamp collects insects by stunning them with the volatilized ethyl acetate gas, thus facilitating subsequent extraction and research.

[0004] However, the following problems exist:

[0005] 1. Gaseous molecules need to enter the insect's body through the tracheal system, and are less effective on insects with closed spiracles or low respiratory rates (such as beetles).

[0006] 2. While gaseous molecules diffuse evenly, a higher overall concentration is required to achieve the same effect, which can easily lead to waste and environmental pollution.

[0007] 3. Outdoor winds can easily disperse gaseous anesthetics, so they need to be stored in a closed space (such as a greenhouse) to be effective.

[0008] 4. Air pollution risk: Gaseous molecules can easily diffuse into non-target areas, potentially affecting operators or nearby ecosystems.

[0009] To address this, we propose a non-killing insect-attracting lamp that sprays an ethyl acetate solution in a mist form, thereby achieving rapid onset of action, extended usage time, minimal environmental impact, and high safety. Utility Model Content

[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-killing insect-attracting lamp. This device sprays out ethyl acetate solution in the form of atomization, thereby achieving the effects of rapid onset of action, increased service life, minimal environmental impact, and high safety performance.

[0011] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0012] A non-killing insect-attracting lamp includes a placement plate with a lampshade on top. The lampshade has multiple sets of through holes for insects to enter, and a partition plate inside the lampshade divides the lampshade into a light-emitting area and a collection area. A conical guide plate is provided on top of the partition plate, and four light-emitting tubes and an ethyl acetate solution atomizer are provided on the conical guide plate. A through groove communicating with the collection area is provided on the partition plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a collection box is provided inside the collection area.

[0014] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the lampshade, and a sealing plate is provided inside the sealing groove.

[0015] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the lampshade, and a rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the motor. The top of the rotating shaft passes through the lampshade and is fitted with a sealing plate, which is in contact with the outer wall of the lampshade.

[0016] Furthermore, a cleaning brush is provided on the side of the sealing plate near the lampshade.

[0017] Furthermore, a smooth layer is provided on the inner wall of the lampshade.

[0018] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0019] In use, the insect-attracting lamp is placed in the target area and powered on. The lamp then begins to operate, with four light tubes emitting light of specific wavelengths. Insects are attracted to light, and this light draws them into the surrounding environment. Drawn by the light, the insects fly towards the light source and enter the lamp housing through multiple perforations. Simultaneously, the ethyl acetate solution atomizer activates, converting the ethyl acetate solution into micron-sized droplets (10-50 μm in diameter). These tiny droplets diffuse inside the lamp housing and adhere directly to the insect's body surface, especially sensitive areas such as spiracles and antennae. Thanks to the insect's epidermal absorption and respiratory system, ethyl acetate can quickly enter the insect's body. Once inside, ethyl acetate interferes with the insect's physiological functions and behavioral patterns, such as disrupting normal signal transmission in its nervous system, causing the insect to lose consciousness due to impaired flight posture and directional control. The stunned insect then falls onto a conical guide plate and enters the collection area through a channel, achieving the purpose of trapping and controlling insects. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a non-killing insect-attracting lamp includes a placement plate 1, a lamp cover 2 is provided on the top of the placement plate 1, the lamp cover 2 has multiple sets of through holes 3 for insects to enter, and a partition plate 4 is provided inside the lamp cover 2, the partition plate 4 divides the lamp cover 2 into a light-emitting area 5 and a collection area 6, a conical guide plate 7 is provided on the top of the partition plate 4, four light-emitting tubes 8 and an ethyl acetate solution atomizer 9 are provided on the conical guide plate 7, and a through groove 10 communicating with the collection area 6 is provided on the partition plate 4.

[0028] Its working principle is as follows: When in use, the insect-attracting lamp is placed in the target area. After the power is turned on, the insect-attracting lamp starts to work. The four light-emitting tubes 8 emit light of a specific wavelength. Insects are phototactic, and this light can attract insects in the surrounding environment. Attracted by the light, the insects fly towards the light source and enter the interior of the lamp cover 2 through multiple sets of through holes 3. At the same time, the ethyl acetate solution atomizer 9 starts to work, converting the ethyl acetate solution into micron-sized droplets (particle size between 10 and 50 μm). These tiny droplets diffuse inside the lamp cover 2 and directly adhere to the insect's body surface, especially sensitive areas such as spiracles and antennae. Thanks to the insect's epidermal absorption function and respiratory system, ethyl acetate can quickly enter the insect's body. Once inside the insect's body, ethyl acetate interferes with the insect's physiological functions and behavioral patterns, such as disrupting the normal signal transmission of its nervous system, causing the insect to lose consciousness due to impaired flight posture and directional control. The unconscious insect then falls onto the conical guide plate 7 and enters the collection area 6 through the through groove 10, achieving the purpose of trapping and controlling insects.

[0029] The advantages of this device compared to traditional evaporative gas diffusion are:

[0030] 1. Rapid onset of action: Atomization generates micron-sized droplets (5-10μm), which can directly adhere to the insect's body surface (such as spiracles and antennae), and quickly enter the body through epidermal absorption or the respiratory system. High contact rate: The suspended droplets have a long residence time in the air.

[0031] Traditional evaporative gas diffusion relies on the respiratory system: gaseous molecules must enter the insect's body through the tracheal system, which is less effective for insects with closed spiracles or low respiratory rates (such as beetles). Furthermore, open spaces are easily disturbed by airflow, making it difficult to maintain an effective concentration.

[0032] 2. This device can precisely control the amount of spray per unit time by adjusting the nozzle pressure or ultrasonic frequency, and is suitable for different pest sizes (such as aphids and locusts).

[0033] Traditional evaporation diffuses gas molecules evenly, but requires a higher overall concentration to achieve the same effect, which can easily lead to waste and environmental pollution.

[0034] 3. This device is less affected by temperature and humidity: the atomized particles are less affected by changes in ambient temperature and humidity, resulting in more stable performance.

[0035] Traditional vapor diffusion methods are easily diluted: outdoor winds can easily disperse gaseous anesthetics, which require enclosed spaces (such as greenhouses) to be effective.

[0036] 4. Safety and Ecological Compatibility:

[0037] This device has low exposure risk, and the droplet size is controllable (e.g., >10μm), reducing the risk of human inhalation into the lungs.

[0038] Gaseous diffusion:

[0039] Traditional evaporative gas diffusion poses an air pollution risk, as gaseous molecules can easily diffuse into non-target areas, potentially affecting operators or nearby ecosystems.

[0040] The ethyl acetate solution nebulizer 9 is an ultrasonic nebulizer, mainly composed of an ultrasonic transducer, a water tank, an atomizing plate, and a control circuit. The ultrasonic transducer converts electrical energy into high-frequency vibrations, and the atomizing plate generates high-frequency vibrations under the action of ultrasonic waves. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on further here.

[0041] Collection area 6 is equipped with collection boxes 11, through which insects are collected.

[0042] A sealing groove 12 is provided on the lampshade 2, and a sealing plate is provided inside the sealing groove 12. By opening the sealing plate, the collection box 11 can be removed.

[0043] The solar power generation technology employed in this invention mainly consists of solar panels, a controller, an inverter, and an energy storage device (optional). The solar panel is the core component, composed of multiple solar cells connected in series or parallel. The controller regulates and controls the electrical energy output from the solar panel, preventing overcharging and over-discharging. The inverter converts the direct current generated by the solar panel into alternating current to meet the needs of the electrical equipment. The energy storage device, such as a battery, stores excess electrical energy for use at night or on cloudy days; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0044] A motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the lampshade 2. A rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the motor. The top of the rotating shaft passes through the lampshade 2 and is fitted with a sealing plate 13. The sealing plate 13 is attached to the outer wall of the lampshade 2. The rotating shaft is driven by the motor to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the sealing plate 13 to open and close the through hole 3. This setting can prevent insects from escaping.

[0045] A cleaning brush is provided on the side of the sealing plate 13 near the lamp cover 2. The cleaning brush can clean the outside of the lamp cover 2 and improve the light transmission performance.

[0046] The inner wall of the lampshade 2 is provided with a smooth layer, which reduces friction and makes it difficult for insects to climb.

[0047] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the solar panel generates electricity during the day, and the electricity is stored in the storage battery. Then, at night, the controller controls the motor and the ethyl acetate solution atomizer 9 to work intermittently, thereby causing insects to faint and be collected. The ethyl acetate solution is diluted (e.g., concentration 5%-10%) and the diluted ethyl acetate solution is vibrated at high frequency by the piezoelectric ceramic atomizing plate to generate 5-10μm aerosol particles. The atomizer intermittently releases aerosols, inducing the olfactory nerves of insects to be paralyzed and fainted, and finally fall into the collection device.

[0048] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When in use, the insect-attracting lamp is placed in the target area. After the power is turned on, the lamp begins to work, with four light-emitting tubes 8 emitting light of specific wavelengths. Insects are phototactic, and this light attracts insects in the surrounding environment. Attracted by the light, the insects fly towards the light source and enter the lamp cover 2 through multiple sets of through-holes 3. Simultaneously, the ethyl acetate solution atomizer 9 begins to work, converting the ethyl acetate solution into micron-sized droplets (particle size 10-50 μm). These tiny droplets diffuse inside the lamp cover 2 and directly adhere to the insect's body surface, especially sensitive areas such as spiracles and antennae. Thanks to the insect's epidermal absorption function and respiratory system, ethyl acetate can quickly enter the insect's body. Once inside the insect, ethyl acetate interferes with the insect's physiological functions and behavioral patterns, such as disrupting the normal signal transmission of its nervous system, affecting the insect's flight posture and directional control, causing it to faint. The fainted insect then falls onto the conical guide plate 7 and enters the collection area 6 through the through-slot 10, achieving the purpose of trapping and controlling the insects.

[0049] 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.
