Embodiments
[0028] Since the existing black water beetle adult collecting device is inconvenient to use, a black water beetle adult collecting device that is more convenient to use is designed, and the specific scheme is as follows:
[0029] As shown in Figures 1-6 The black water beetle adult automatic collecting device includes a collecting tray 4, the collecting tray 4 is fixed to the trapping mechanism 1 through a connecting mechanism 3, the bottom end of the collecting tray 4 is fixed with a collecting mechanism 5, the collecting mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 501 and a collecting frame 502, the two sides of the collecting tray 4 are fixedly connected with the fixed frame 501, the fixed frame 501 is arranged in an L-shaped structure, the collecting tray 4 is arranged in an inclined slope structure, after the adult is attracted, it falls on the collecting tray 4, due to gravity and climbing habit, it will naturally slide to the bottom of the collecting tray 4; the collecting frame 502 is fixedly installed between the two fixed frames 501, the collecting frame 502 is fixedly connected with a clamping plate 507, the collecting tray 4 is in communication with the inside of the collecting frame 502 through the clamping plate 507, and the width of the clamping plate 507 is less than the width of the collecting frame 502, the clamping plate 507 is connected with the collecting tray 4, the bottom end of the collecting frame 502 is slidably installed with a sealing plate 503, the length of the collecting frame 502 is equal to the length of the sealing plate 503, the sealing plate 503 is fixedly connected with a pull rod 504, the two ends of the pull rod 504 are in contact with the side wall of the collecting frame 502, the pull rod 504 is rotatably installed with a stop block 506, the stop block 506 is fixedly connected with a connecting shaft 505, and the connecting shaft 505 is rotatably connected with the collecting frame 502, rotating the stop block 506, the stop block 506 rotates along the side wall of the pull rod 504 and drives the connecting shaft 505 to rotate in the collecting frame 502, when the stop block 506 is separated from the side wall of the pull rod 504, the sealing plate 503 can slide along the inner wall of the collecting frame 502, and the sealing plate 503 slides out of the collecting frame 502 to make the bottom end of the collecting frame 502 in an open state.
[0030] The connecting mechanism 3 includes a positioning bolt 301 and a connecting rod 302. The connecting rods 302 are fixedly installed on both sides of the insect collection tray 4 by the positioning bolt 301. The two sets of connecting rods 302 are symmetrically arranged. Both ends of the connecting rods 302 are provided with a sliding groove 303. The positioning bolt 301 is located in the sliding groove 303. By rotating the positioning bolt 301, the connecting rod 302 is separated from the trap housing 101 and the insect collection tray 4, and the trap can be disassembled.
[0031] The trapping mechanism 1 includes a trap housing 101 and a solar panel 102. The trap housing 101 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 302 by positioning bolts 301. The trap housing 101 is located at the end of the connecting rod 302 away from the insect collection tray 4. An insect-attracting lamp 103 is electrically connected to the trap housing 101. When the insect-attracting lamp 103 is turned on, adult insects will be stimulated by the light of the insect-attracting lamp 103 and will fly directionally towards the light source area. The solar panel 102 is fixedly installed on the trap housing 101. The solar panel 102 is located at the top of the trap housing 101. The solar panel 102 is used to absorb solar energy during the day and then convert the solar energy into electrical energy for storage. The battery installed inside the trap housing 101 stores the electrical energy converted by the solar panel 102, ensuring that the light source continues to work at night or on cloudy days, which can improve the effectiveness of the trap.
[0032] A clamping block 2 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the trap housing 101 near the fixing frame 501. The clamping block 2 is set with an arc surface structure. The trap housing 101 can be fixed on the bracket through the clamping block 2, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the trap.
[0033] The bottom of the insect collection tray 4 is provided with a through groove 6, which is connected to the inside of the collection frame 502. Adult insects can fall into the inside of the collection frame 502 through the through groove 6 and the card plate 507. Moreover, the width of the card plate 507 at the top of the collection frame 502 is smaller than the width of the collection frame 502. Under the influence of the trapping light and the slope of the insect collection tray 4, it is not easy for adult insects to fly out of the inside of the collection frame 502.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] First, when using the trap, the trap contains black soldier fly sex pheromones or aggregation pheromones. After the pheromones are released, they create a pheromone gradient in the field, attracting adult flies to actively approach the trap. Then, combined with the black soldier fly's phototaxis, the insect-attracting lamp 103 is turned on. The adult flies, stimulated by the light from the insect-attracting lamp 103, will fly directionally towards the light source area. The insect-collecting tray 4 is designed with a sloping structure. After being attracted, the adult flies land on the insect-collecting tray 4 and, due to gravity and their crawling habits, will naturally slide down to the bottom of the insect-collecting tray 4. The solar panel 102 on the top of the trap's outer shell 101 absorbs solar energy during the day and converts it into electrical energy for storage. The battery installed inside the trap's outer shell 101 stores the electrical energy converted by the solar panel 102, ensuring that the light source continues to work at night or on cloudy days, which can improve the effectiveness of the trap.
[0036] Because the bottom end of the insect collecting tray 4 is provided with a through groove 6, the adult insects can fall into the inside of the collecting frame 502 through the through groove 6 and the clamping plate 507, and the width of the clamping plate 507 at the top end of the collecting frame 502 is smaller than the width of the collecting frame 502, so that the adult insects are not easy to fly out of the inside of the collecting frame 502 under the influence of the trapping light and the slope of the insect collecting tray 4, thereby achieving automatic collection of the adult insects.
[0037] When the adult insects accumulated in the collecting frame 502 reach a certain amount, the operator can use a tool to disassemble the fixing frame 501 from the insect collecting tray 4, and then the collecting frame 502 can be transferred to an oviposition box or a processing area through a mechanical arm or a conveying belt; when the adult insects need to be concentratedly treated, the abutting block 506 abutting against the side wall of the rotating pull rod 504 is rotated along the side wall of the pull rod 504 to drive the internal connecting shaft 505 to rotate in the collecting frame 502; when the abutting block 506 is separated from the side wall of the pull rod 504, the sealing plate 503 fixed with the pull rod 504 slides along the inner wall of the collecting frame 502, the sealing plate 503 slides out of the collecting frame 502, and the bottom end of the collecting frame 502 is in an open state, so that the collected adult insects can be concentratedly treated, and the inside of the collecting frame 502 can be cleaned, which is helpful to improve the use efficiency of the trap.
[0038] The automatic collection device of the scheme realizes high automation in the whole process from trapping to collecting. By using the phototaxis and pheromone double attraction of black soldier flies, cooperating with gravity and crawling habit, the adult insects can naturally slide into the collecting frame without additional driving force after being efficiently trapped, which reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the collection efficiency.
[0039] The inclination design of the insect collecting tray guides the adult insects to slide down, so that they are difficult to climb upward against the slope to escape. The width of the clamping plate at the top of the collecting frame is smaller than the frame body itself, which, combined with the directivity of the trapping light and the slope angle, effectively prevents the adult insects falling into the collecting frame from flying outwards, and ensures the collection effect.
[0040] The sealing plate completely closes the bottom of the collecting frame to prevent the adult insects from escaping or accidentally falling from below.
[0041] The linkage mechanism of the pull rod, the abutting block and the connecting shaft can easily unlock and slide to open the sealing plate by only rotating the abutting block. The adult insects can be quickly and completely discharged from the bottom of the collecting frame to the designated area. After the sealing plate is opened, the inside of the collecting frame is completely exposed, which is convenient for washing with water or cleaning with a brush to maintain hygiene and prevent disease transmission or residual effects from affecting the subsequent trapping effect.
[0042] The solar panel combined with the built-in battery realizes energy self-sufficiency. The electric energy stored during the day ensures the continuous work of the insect trapping lamp at night and on rainy days without the need for external power supply or frequent battery replacement, which reduces the operation cost and maintenance difficulty, and is suitable for use in large-scale breeding bases.
