Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] This invention provides an insect release device for biological control, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the insect release device includes a mounting rod 1, a mounting box 2, and a partition assembly. The mounting rod 1 is fixedly installed on the ground. The mounting box 2 is connected to the mounting rod 1 and is used to store insects. The partition assembly includes a fixed baffle 31, a drive component 4, a take-up ring 5, a pull rope 6, and a movable baffle 7. The fixed baffle 31 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 2. The drive component 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting box 2. The take-up ring 5 is connected to the drive component 4. One end of the pull rope 6 is wrapped around the outer surface of the take-up ring 5, and the bottom end of the pull rope 6 is fixedly connected to the movable baffle 7. Through the action of the fixed baffle 31 and the movable baffle 7, the internal area of the mounting box 2 can be divided into two areas, left and right (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the left area is specifically for storing insects, while the right area stores insect pathogens; the partition component is used to control the opening or closing of the left and right areas within the installation box 2.
[0030] By activating the drive unit 4, the take-up ring 5 rotates, causing it to wind the pull rope 6, thereby driving the movable baffle 7 upwards. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the movable baffle 7 moves upward, it connects the left and right parts of the installation box 2, allowing insects in the left area to move to the right, reducing human intervention.
[0031] When in use, the movable baffle 7 is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the left side of the installation box 2 contains insects, and the right side contains pathogens. By energizing the drive unit 4, the take-up ring 5 rotates, causing it to wind and coil the pull rope 6. This stretches the movable baffle 7 upward, connecting the left and right areas of the installation box 2. This allows insects from the left side to move to the right side and come into contact with the pathogens in the right side, reducing the difficulty and cost of manual intervention.
[0032] In this embodiment, an elastic element 8 is also fixedly connected to the top of the movable baffle 7. The top of the elastic element 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed baffle 31. By rotating the take-up ring 5, the pull rope 6 is wound and wound up. During the upward movement of the movable baffle 7, the elastic element 8 is compressed and deformed. When the take-up ring 5 rotates in the opposite direction, the compressed elastic element 8 releases its elastic potential energy and pushes the movable baffle 7 downward, thereby releasing the wound pull rope 6 and ensuring that the pull rope 6 and the movable baffle 7 can complete the winding and unwinding process.
[0033] Specifically, the drive component 4 can be configured as a motor, and the take-up ring 5 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive component 4; the elastic component 8 can be configured as a spring; the top of the mounting box 2 is also equipped with a top cover 14 to provide protection for the drive component 4 and the take-up ring 5, and to prevent damage to the drive component 4 caused by severe weather such as rain.
[0034] The installation box 2 also contains a rearing assembly, which includes a support base 9, a rearing box 10, and a partition plate 11. The support base 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed baffle 31 to support the rearing box 10. The rearing box 10 is slidably mounted on the support base 9, and the partition plate 11 is installed inside the rearing box 10 to separate the internal areas. It can provide suitable food according to the feeding habits of the insects stored in the installation box 2. The partition plate 11 can separate the water and food inside the rearing box 10 to prevent water and food from coming into contact and causing contamination. At the same time, the rearing box 10 can be pulled out from the support base 9 for easy cleaning and disinfection to prevent bacterial growth and affect the survival of the insects. The installation box 2 is also connected to a cover 3. The installation box 2 and the cover 3 are fixedly connected by a positioning component 18, which can be a bolt, to facilitate the removal of the cover 3 from the installation box 2, allowing for maintenance and cleaning of the rearing assembly inside the installation box 2.
[0035] In order to drive the insects stored in the installation box 2 to the outside of the installation box 2, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the insect release device also includes a repelling assembly, which includes a first fan 12, a second fan 13, a placement plate 15, a second drive component 16, and a stop block 17. The first fan 12 and the second fan 13 are both fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the mounting box 2; the placement plate 15 is installed in the right-side area inside the mounting box 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), there are multiple sets of placement plates 15, and each set of placement plates 15 has a pathogen on its top; the bottom of the lowest placement plate 15 is fixedly connected to a second driving component 16, which is an electric telescopic rod; the bottom of the second driving component 16 is fixedly connected to a stop block 17.
[0036] By activating the partition assembly, the movable baffle 7 is moved upward, allowing airflow between the left and right areas inside the mounting box 2. Then, fan 12 starts working, blowing air towards the insects in the left area. The airflow drives the insects to move to the right area of the mounting box 2. Subsequently, the movable baffle 7 is moved downward, closing the left and right areas inside the mounting box 2. Fan 2 13 then starts working, and the airflow it generates blows the pathogens on the placement plate 15 onto the insects, ensuring that the pathogens are evenly attached to the insects' bodies. Then, drive component 2 16 pushes the stop block 17 downward, opening the opening in the right area of the mounting box 2, allowing the insects with pathogens attached to their bodies to be discharged outside the mounting box 2.
[0037] In this embodiment, a solar panel 19 is also installed on the top of the mounting rod 1. The solar panel 19 can convert light energy into electrical energy to provide power for the drive unit 4, fan 12, fan 13 and drive unit 16, ensuring that the entire device can operate stably.
[0038] Working principle: In actual use, the staff places the insects in the left side area of the installation box 2. Powered by the solar panel 19, the drive unit 4 rotates the take-up ring 5, which in turn winds and winds the pull rope 6, causing the movable baffle 7 to be stretched upwards. This connects the left and right areas within the installation box 2. Then, the fan 12 starts rotating, and the airflow it generates propels the insects, which is more efficient than natural crawling and reduces insect stagnation and accumulation during movement. Once the insects have successfully moved to the right side area, the take-up ring 5 rotates in the opposite direction, and under the action of the elastic element 8, it moves the movable baffle 7 downwards, closing the passage between the left and right areas and preventing insect backflow and disease transmission. Unnecessary spread of bacteria; then fan 2 13 starts working, and the airflow it generates blows the bacteria on the placement plate 15 onto the insects, so that the bacteria can be evenly attached to the insects' bodies. Then, drive component 2 16 pushes the stop block 17 down, so that the opening in the right area of the installation box 2 opens. Under the action of fan 2 13, the insects with bacteria attached to their bodies are blown to the outside of the installation box 2. When the natural enemy insects carrying the bacteria are released into the target area, they will actively seek out and prey on the pests. During the predation process, the bacteria will be spread to the pests, causing the pests to become infected and die. This biological control method that uses natural enemy insects to spread bacteria has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and sustainability.
[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
