Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of leafminer monitoring technology, specifically a monitoring device for leafminer on fresh tomatoes. Background Technology

[0002] The tomato leafminer, also known as the South American tomato leafminer, is a small pest from South America. It belongs to the moth family and is one of the most important pests in the production of solanaceous vegetables worldwide, especially causing serious damage to tomatoes. At the same time, a large number of insect samples are needed when studying the tomato leafminer.

[0003] According to a search, Chinese patent document, publication number CN221864313U, discloses a monitoring and trapping device for the tomato leafminer, a small pest. The device uses a motor to drive a rotating rod at the output end, which in turn drives a gear, which in turn moves a rack plate. The rack plate then moves a lifting column inside a mounting column. This sliding movement of the lifting column causes the lower trapping cover to move upwards and engage with the upper trapping cover. The lower trapping cover then moves a first threaded block. A bolt is then rotated to connect a second threaded block to the first threaded block. Finally, the upper trapping cover is pulled, causing the upper trapping cover to slide and detach from the mounting frame along with a support block. This allows for the convenient collection and treatment of the tomato leafminer after it has been trapped. However, during use, although leaf miners can be collected by moving the upper and lower traps, dead leaf miners tend to remain in various locations inside the traps during monitoring, making later cleaning difficult and prone to omissions. Moreover, manual collection and cleaning are required during monitoring, resulting in poor usability and the inability to monitor the number of leaf miners. Utility Model Content

Then, they are counted by the infrared sensor and the counting box, and the count is displayed on the screen. This makes it convenient to count the leaf miners during the collection process. The leaf miners then enter the inside of the collection tube under the action of gravity, which makes it easy to collect and process them later. When removing the leaf miners, the collection tube is rotated to detach them from the counting box, and then the sealing cover is rotated to easily pour out the leaf miners. It is simple and convenient to use and easy to collect leaf miners.

[0020] 2. During the use of this utility model, the staff can remotely control the cylinder to push the pressure seat downward, thereby causing the extrusion plate to squeeze against the outer wall of the first push plate. Since the inner side of the extrusion plate has a sloping structure, it can push the first push plate and the second push plate to push the remaining leaf miners into the channel for counting and collection, which helps to reduce the difficulty of later cleaning and avoid the generation of odors and environmental pollution caused by the long-term uncleaning of leaf miners.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a monitoring device for leaf miners on fresh tomatoes, including a monitoring cover 1. A first push plate 2 and a second push plate 3 are movably installed on the bottom side of the inner side of the monitoring cover 1. A cylinder 4 is provided on the top side of the monitoring cover 1. A pressure seat 5 is fixedly installed on the driving end of the cylinder 4. An ultraviolet lamp 6 is provided on the bottom side of the pressure seat 5. A solar panel 7 is installed on the top side of the monitoring cover 1 by snap-fit. A counting box 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the monitoring cover 1. An infrared sensor 9 is provided inside the counting box 8. A collection cylinder 10 is threadedly connected to the bottom side of the monitoring cover 1.

[0031] Specifically, a limiting hole 101 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the monitoring cover 1, an insecticidal mesh 102 is provided in the middle of the monitoring cover 1, and a protective cylinder 103 is fixedly installed on the top side of the monitoring cover 1. Three annularly arranged connecting lugs 104 are provided on the top side of the protective cylinder 103. The advantages are that the limiting hole 101 facilitates the limiting and orientation of the first push plate 2, and the protective cylinder 103 and connecting lugs 104 facilitate the protection of the cylinder 4 and the connection and installation of the solar panel 7.

[0032] Specifically, a mating plate 701 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the solar panel 7, and three annularly arranged connecting bolts 702 are fixedly installed on the bottom side of the mating plate 701, with each connecting bolt 702 corresponding to a through hole on the top side of the connecting lug 104. The advantage is that by engaging the mating plate 701 on the bottom side of the solar panel 7 with the protective cylinder 103, the protective cylinder 103 is easily sealed. Furthermore, after the connecting bolts 702 are engaged with the connecting lug 104, nuts can be used for easy fixing, facilitating disassembly and assembly, and simplifying future inspection and maintenance.

[0033] Specifically, each end of the first push plate 2 has a movable cavity 201. A second push plate 3 is movably installed inside each movable cavity 201. A fastening spring is fixedly installed between the second push plate 3 and the movable cavity 201. A limit rod 202 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first push plate 2. The limit rod 202 is movably installed inside the limit hole 101. A reset spring is fixedly installed between the outer end of the limit rod 202 and the monitoring cover 1. The advantages are that the movable cavity 201 facilitates the movement of the second push plate 3 during cleaning, enabling automatic adjustment. Furthermore, the fastening spring facilitates the subsequent reset of the second push plate 3. Finally, the reset spring helps to move the limit rod 202 back to its original position after cleaning, ensuring the first push plate 2 fits snugly against the inner wall of the monitoring cover 1.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment. Specifically, the pressure seat 5 includes a top plate 501 and extrusion plates 502. Four extrusion plates 502 are arranged equidistantly in a ring on the bottom side of the top plate 501, and the inner side of the extrusion plates 502 has a sloping structure. An ultraviolet lamp 6 is provided on the bottom side of the top plate 501. The advantage is that the pressure seat 5 is pushed downward by the remotely controlled cylinder 4, which causes the extrusion plates 502 to press against the outer wall of the first push plate 2. Since the inner side of the extrusion plates 502 has a sloping structure, it can push the first push plate 2 and the second push plate 3 to push the leaf miners remaining inside into the channel for counting and collection. This helps to reduce the difficulty of later cleaning and avoid the generation of odors and environmental pollution caused by the long-term uncleaning of leaf miners.

[0036] Specifically, the infrared sensor 9 has a counting box 901 at its outer end, and a display screen is located on the rear side of the counting box 901. The inner side of the lower end of the counting box 8 has an internal thread, and the inner side of the lower end of the collecting cylinder 10 is connected to a sealing cap 1001 via a thread. The outer side of the upper end of the collecting cylinder 10 has an external thread. The advantage is that dead leaf miners enter the inside of the counting box 8 through the channel inside the pressure seat 5. The infrared sensor 9 and the counting box 901 detect and count the leaf miners, and the count is displayed on the screen, facilitating counting during leaf miner collection. Subsequently, the leaf miners enter the inside of the collecting cylinder 10 under gravity, making collection and subsequent processing convenient. When removing the leaf miners, the collecting cylinder 10 is rotated to detach from the counting box 8, and then the sealing cap 1001 is rotated to easily empty the leaf miners. This simple and convenient method facilitates the collection of leaf miners.

[0037] In use, dead leafminer moths enter the inner side of the counting box 8 through the channel inside the pressure seat 5. They are then counted by the infrared sensor 9 and the counting box 901, and the count is displayed on the screen, facilitating counting during moth collection. The moths then enter the inner side of the collection cylinder 10 under gravity, making collection and subsequent processing easier. To remove the moths, the collection cylinder 10 is rotated to detach from the counting box 8, and the sealing cover 1001 is rotated to easily empty the moths. The system is simple and convenient to use, facilitating moth collection. Furthermore, during use, the operator remotely controls the cylinder 4 to push the pressure seat 5 downwards, causing the squeezing plate 502 to press against the outer wall of the first push plate 2. Because the inner side of the squeezing plate 502 has a sloping structure, it pushes the first push plate 2 and the second push plate 3 to push the remaining moths into the channel for counting and collection, reducing the difficulty of later cleaning and preventing the generation of odors and environmental pollution caused by long-term uncleaned moths.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
