Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural pest monitoring and control equipment, specifically to an insect pest monitoring lamp. Background Technology

[0002] Existing insecticidal lamps are generally equipped with only a single-frequency insect-attracting lamp (such as the common 365nm ultraviolet lamp), which has limited effectiveness in attracting different pests. The sensitivity of insects' visual systems to light wavelengths is determined by the structure of their compound eyes. Different groups of pests have significant differences in their light preferences. A single-frequency lamp is designed only for a certain type of pest and cannot cover the diverse pest species in farmland (such as Lepidoptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, etc.), resulting in a large number of target pests being missed.

[0003] Existing insecticidal lamps have limited functionality and lack precise counting devices. Accurately determining pest numbers is crucial for developing effective control strategies in agricultural pest management. Most existing insecticidal lamps lack precise counting devices, relying solely on periodic manual checks and estimations, a method that is inefficient and prone to significant errors. Manual counting is susceptible to subjective factors, such as the diligence and experience of the staff, leading to inaccurate results. Furthermore, the limited frequency of manual checks makes it impossible to obtain timely information on dynamic changes in pest numbers. For example, during peak pest breeding seasons, pest numbers can increase rapidly in a short period. Without real-time monitoring, by the time manual detection occurs, the infestation may have already caused severe damage to crops. The lack of precise counting devices makes it difficult for farmers and agricultural workers to accurately assess the severity of pest infestations and implement timely, targeted control measures, thus impacting crop yield and quality. Additionally, existing insecticidal lamps typically lack tilting alarms. Since they are generally installed in open areas such as farmland and orchards, they are susceptible to tipping due to severe weather (strong winds, heavy rain), collisions with wild animals, or human damage. If an insecticidal lamp tipps over and is not detected in time, it can not only damage the equipment itself and affect its normal operation, but also potentially cause safety problems, such as flying debris from broken lamps and the risk of electric shock due to exposed electrical components. In some remote farmlands, due to untimely inspections, tipped insecticidal lamps may remain unattended for extended periods, further exacerbating safety risks. The lack of a tipping alarm function fails to promptly remind staff to maintain and repair the equipment, reducing its safety and reliability, increasing maintenance costs, and raising the risk of potential safety accidents.

[0004] Existing insecticidal lamps rely on mains power or inefficient power supply methods, which presents numerous inconveniences in practical applications. In remote rural areas far from cities or with inadequate power grid coverage, laying mains power lines is costly and may even be impossible. Even in areas with grid coverage, mains power supply carries the risk of power outages. In the event of power maintenance or malfunctions, the insecticidal lamps will not function properly, affecting pest control effectiveness. Other inefficient power supply methods used by some insecticidal lamps, such as ordinary battery power, have poor battery life, requiring frequent battery replacements. This not only increases operating costs but also generates a large number of waste batteries, causing environmental pollution. For example, ordinary dry cell batteries have limited capacity; when used in insecticidal lamps, batteries may need to be replaced every few days. This is cumbersome and costly for large-scale agricultural production using insecticidal lamps. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to develop an insect pest monitoring lamp, which adds multiple insecticidal lamp tubes of different frequency bands to the traditional insect pest monitoring lamp, so as to greatly improve the insecticidal effect; at the same time, by adding a counting device through built-in sensors, the number of insects trapped can be counted.

[0006] This utility model discloses an insect monitoring lamp, comprising a device body, a top cover disposed on the top of the device body, and a base disposed at the bottom of the device body. The device body includes a lamp box, an insect-attracting lamp tube, an impact plate, an insect-passing hopper, and a device assembly. The lamp box is divided into an upper lamp box and a lower lamp box. The insect-attracting lamp tube and the impact plate are installed in the upper lamp box, and the side wall of the upper lamp box is provided with louvers. The insect-passing hopper is installed on the top of the lower lamp box and is used to collect pests falling from the insect-attracting lamp tube and the impact plate above, and to input them into the device assembly. The device assembly includes at least a drying device, a vibration device, a conveyor belt device, and a counting device. The drying device is used to dry the pests collected by the insect-passing hopper. The vibration device is used to disperse the dried pests through vibration onto the conveyor belt device, and the counting device counts the falling pests.

[0007] Preferably, the top cover is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor, a rain control sensor and an antenna. The temperature and humidity sensor is used to collect the ambient temperature and humidity, and the rain control sensor is used to detect whether it is raining.

[0008] Preferably, the solar panels are mounted on the top cover using a split bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the device assembly further includes an insect-water separation device; the insect-water separation device is used to open or close the channel into the drying device depending on whether it is raining.

[0010] Preferably, the upper light box is equipped with at least three sets of insect-attracting lamps of different frequency bands.

[0011] Preferably, the device assembly further includes a photographing device, which is disposed above the conveyor belt device and is used to photograph the pests transported by the conveyor belt device.

[0012] Preferably, an insect collecting turntable is provided below the transmission belt device for collecting pests output from the transmission belt device; the insect collecting turntable device has multiple insect collecting cups distributed around its circumference, and the pests can fall into the designated insect collecting cups by rotating the turntable.

[0013] Preferably, the base is equipped with an insect collection bucket.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. Existing single-band insecticidal lamps suffer from significant shortcomings in trapping range, targeting, and adaptability due to the specific phototaxis of insects, the complexity of farmland ecology, and limitations in their technical principles. This invention's multi-band design, through spectral complementarity, fundamentally solves the industry pain point of "poor insecticidal effect," achieving efficient trapping and precise control of multiple pest species.

[0016] 2. This invention uses a counting device to count the trapped pests, enabling agricultural workers to accurately determine the number of pests trapped and providing reliable data support for pest monitoring. Through precise counting, staff can promptly understand the reproductive dynamics and population density changes of pests. During peak pest breeding periods, the invention can accurately judge the growth trend of pest numbers, allowing for advance prevention and control measures and avoiding large-scale crop damage due to pest outbreaks. Compared to traditional methods relying on manual estimation of pest numbers, this invention not only saves manpower and time costs but also significantly improves data accuracy and reduces human error.

[0017] 3. This utility model features a tilt alarm function. Once the equipment tilts, the system quickly issues an alarm signal. This allows staff to be notified of any abnormalities and quickly proceed to the site for inspection and repair. Timely response prevents further damage from prolonged tilting, such as broken lights or damage to internal electronic components due to impact or moisture, thereby extending the equipment's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an insect monitoring lamp of this embodiment includes a device body, a top cover 11 disposed on the top of the device body, and a base 6 disposed on the bottom of the device body.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, the device body includes a light box 9, insect-attracting lamp tubes 3, impact plates 2, insect funnels 4, and a device assembly 8. The light box 9 is divided into an upper light box 9 and a lower light box 9 by a partition. The insect-attracting lamp tubes 3 and impact plates 2 are installed in the upper light box 9, and the four sides of the upper light box 9 are provided with louvers 10. The insect-attracting lamp tubes 3 are installed in the middle of the upper light box 9, and the three impact plates 2 are evenly distributed around the insect-attracting lamp tubes 3. The insect-attracting lamp tubes 3 are the core component of the insect monitoring lamp for attracting pests. The specific frequency light emitted by it can attract a variety of pests. By setting different frequency bands of insect-attracting lamp tubes 3, a wider wavelength range can be covered, attracting different kinds of pests such as moths, mosquitoes, flies, aphids, planthoppers, and beetles. The combination of multiple frequency bands expands the trapping range, enabling the insect monitoring lamp to attract a variety of pests in the farmland and comprehensively monitor the pest situation. The design of three insect-attracting lamp tubes 3 greatly enhances the trapping ability compared to the traditional single insect-attracting lamp tube 3. Multiple lamps emitting light simultaneously increase the intensity and coverage of the light, attracting pests over a larger area and improving trapping efficiency. Three impact plates 2, evenly distributed around the insect-attracting lamp 3, strike pests as they fly towards it. Because the pests possess speed and momentum during flight, the impact plates 2 alter their flight trajectory, causing them to fall into the subsequent collection device.

[0033] The insect funnel 4 is installed on top of the lower light box 9 to collect pests falling from the insect-attracting lamp tube 3 and impact plate 2 above, and then input them into the device assembly 8. The funnel shape of the insect funnel 4 ensures that pests do not scatter but enter the lower light box 9 along a specific path. It ensures the orderly collection process of pests and lays the foundation for subsequent operations such as insect-water separation, baking, counting, and photography. Without the insect funnel 4, pests may deviate from their path during the fall, causing some pests to fail to enter the subsequent processing device, affecting the complete collection and accurate monitoring of pests by the insect monitoring lamp. During the pest trapping process, some pests may only be temporarily knocked down and still have the ability to fly. The blocking effect of the insect funnel 4 greatly reduces the risk of these pests escaping and improves the capture efficiency of the insect monitoring lamp. The insect funnel 4 is connected to the insect-water separation device below by a flexible hose. This connection method ensures both airtightness to prevent leakage of pests and debris and flexibility to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0034] The device assembly 8 includes an insect-water separation device, a drying device, a vibration device, a conveyor belt device, a photographing device, and a counting device.

[0035] like Figure 3 and 4The insect-water separation device is used to open or close the channels entering the drying device depending on whether it is raining. The device includes a housing, channel A 21 located directly below the housing, channel B 22 located on the lower side of the housing, a rotating shaft plate 23 inside the housing, and a motor for driving the rotating shaft plate 23. When the equipment is operating normally, the motor shaft rotates, causing the rotating shaft plate 23 to be in state A (obliquely closed channel A 21), allowing various insects to enter channel B 22. When the equipment detects rain or dew in the surrounding environment, the motor shaft rotates, causing the rotating shaft plate 23 to be in state B (vertically open channel A 21), allowing water to enter channel B 21 and be discharged outside the equipment. In outdoor environments, rainwater easily enters the equipment along with trapped pests. Without the insect-water separation device, a large amount of rainwater would enter the drying device along with the pests. Excessive moisture will affect the drying effect, prolong the drying time, and may even damage the heating element of the drying device. The insect-water separation device effectively prevents rainwater from entering the drying device, allowing the drying device to operate normally in a dry environment, maintaining a stable baking temperature and time, ensuring the drying effect on pests, and thus ensuring that subsequent counting, photographing and other steps can proceed smoothly.

[0036] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the drying device is used to dry the pests collected by the funnel 4. The drying chamber has two rotating plates, one above the other, with two ceramic heating elements below each plate. The pests first fall onto the upper rotating plate 31 for primary drying. After primary heating, the upper rotating plate 31 rotates, causing the pests to fall onto the lower rotating plate 32 for secondary drying. This invention employs a two-stage drying process, ensuring the pests are killed. Simultaneously, the pests become dry and stiff, making them less likely to stick together. This characteristic greatly improves the accuracy of counting in the subsequent counting process. Furthermore, the dried pests have a stable morphology, facilitating observation and classification by staff. This provides a strong basis for developing targeted control measures.

[0037] like Figure 7 , 8As shown, the vibration device is used to disperse dried pests onto a conveyor belt via vibration, and a counting device counts the falling pests. The vibration device includes a vibrating plate 41, a vibrator 42 for vibrating the vibrating plate 41, and a vibrator support 43 for the vibrator 42. Dried pests may stick together due to contact or clump together during the fall, which can affect the accuracy of the counting device's count. The vibration device, through continuous and regular vibration, can evenly disperse these pests, causing them to fall individually onto the conveyor belt. Under these conditions, the counting device can more accurately count each falling pest. The counting device uses a fiber optic sensor for counting, which utilizes the transmission and modulation characteristics of optical fibers to sense changes in light intensity caused by the material passing through the detection area, thereby achieving accurate counting and avoiding missed or overcounted counts due to pest aggregation. Besides facilitating counting, the process of dispersing pests by the vibration device also benefits subsequent processing of the pest samples. When pests evenly distributed on the conveyor belt pass through the photographing device, the morphological characteristics of each pest can be displayed more clearly, making it easier for the photographing device to obtain high-quality images and providing better image data for subsequent pest species identification and analysis.

[0038] The top cover 11 is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor 12, a rain control sensor 1, and an antenna. The temperature sensor collects ambient temperature data, and the rain control sensor 1 detects rainfall. The temperature and humidity sensor 12 provides auxiliary data for pest analysis: temperature and humidity are important environmental factors affecting the growth, reproduction, and activity of pests. The temperature and humidity sensor 12 collects real-time temperature and humidity data of the surrounding environment. Combining this data with information such as the number and type of pests captured helps agricultural workers gain a deeper understanding of the ecological habits of pests. Through long-term correlation analysis of temperature and humidity data and pest data, the outbreak patterns of certain pests under specific temperature and humidity conditions can be discovered. The rain control sensor 1 detects rainfall. When rainfall is detected, it closes the insect channel of the insect-water separation device to prevent large amounts of rainwater from entering the equipment and damaging the drying device, counting device, and electronic components. This function effectively protects the key components of the equipment, reduces the risk of equipment failure due to rainwater erosion, and extends the maintenance cycle and service life of the equipment.

[0039] The solar panels are mounted on the top cover 11 using a modular bracket design. This modular bracket design makes the installation of the solar panels more flexible and convenient. During installation, the bracket and top cover 11 can be quickly assembled according to the actual terrain and sunlight conditions, and the angle and direction of the solar panels can be flexibly adjusted to achieve the best lighting effect. In mountainous environments, by adjusting the bracket angle, the solar panels can be positioned as perpendicular as possible to the direction of sunlight, improving the efficiency of solar energy capture. The solar panels power the mainboard and also charge the lithium and lead-acid batteries.

[0040] like Figure 10 As shown, the device assembly 8 also includes a photographing device, which is positioned above the conveyor belt and used to photograph the pests transported by the conveyor belt. The photographing device can clearly capture the morphological details of the pests, including their body shape, color, markings, wing textures, and other characteristics. This image information provides a direct basis for accurately identifying pest species. Agricultural researchers or technicians can analyze the photographs to determine the species of pests and thus understand the population composition of pests in local farmland.

[0041] like Figure 11 As shown, a pest-collecting turntable 5 is provided below the conveyor belt device to collect pests output from the conveyor belt device. The turntable 5 has eight collection cups distributed circumferentially. The rotation of the turntable allows pests to fall into the collection cups (seven of the eight collection cups are used to collect insects within a set continuous time period, facilitating later analysis of pest occurrence within a specific time period; the other collection cup is connected to a collection bucket). After completing the counting and photographing processes, the insects fall into the turntable. This ensures that pest samples are collected in an orderly manner, preventing pests from scattering and facilitating subsequent unified processing.

[0042] The base 6 contains an insect collection bin 7. Located inside the base 6, the insect collection bin 7 provides a large storage space for pests falling from the insect collection turntable device 5. As the insect monitoring lamp continues to operate, a large number of pests are trapped, processed, and ultimately fall into the insect collection bin 7. This design prevents pests from scattering randomly, allowing for the centralized collection and storage of pest samples.

[0043] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The solar panel is installed above the top cover 11 via a split bracket. When there is sunlight, it fully absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy. This electrical energy directly powers the mainboard, which in turn coordinates and controls the operation of each module of the insect monitoring lamp. The electrical energy generated by the solar panel also charges the lithium battery and lead-acid battery, storing excess electrical energy to continuously power the equipment at night or in low light conditions, ensuring uninterrupted operation and enabling 24-hour pest monitoring.

[0044] This invention incorporates insect-attracting lamps of different frequencies, emitting light that covers a wide range of wavelengths sensitive to various pests. Attracted to the lamps, pests fly towards them. When an insect strikes an impact plate 2 evenly distributed around the lamp, it falls due to the impact force. Some pests, exhausted from flying towards the lamps for an extended period, will also naturally fall into the funnel 4 below. A water-insect separation device is connected below the funnel 4, and a rain sensor 1 monitors the environment for rainfall in real time. When the rain sensor 1 detects no raindrops, indicating a dry environment, the insect channel of the water-insect separation device is open, allowing pests to pass smoothly into the two-stage drying device. The two-stage drying device employs a segmented drying design. The first stage is set at 85°C and lasts for 5 minutes to initially remove a large amount of moisture from the pests. The second stage then proceeds to 70°C for another 5 minutes to further dry the pests completely. This two-stage drying method not only efficiently kills pests but also ensures that the pests are dry enough to meet subsequent processing requirements, while saving energy to some extent. After two stages of drying, the dried insects fall onto the vibrating plate 41. The vibrating plate 41 is connected to a vibrator 42, which generates continuous and regular vibrations when turned on. Under the action of vibration, the dried insects are evenly dispersed and fall orderly onto the conveyor belt. During this process, a counting device begins to function, counting the falling insects in real time. The counting device uses a high-precision sensor to accurately record the number of pests. When the counting device detects that the number of dried insects has reached the preset counter count, it sends a signal to the vibrator 42. Upon receiving the signal, the vibrator 42 stops vibrating, and the conveyor belt begins to run.

[0045] The conveyor belt transports dried insects forward. When the insects reach a specific location, the conveyor belt pauses for a few seconds. During these few seconds, a camera located above the conveyor belt quickly activates and photographs the pests on the conveyor belt. The photos taken by the camera are then uploaded to the Huawei Cloud IoT platform via an IoT module using the MQTT protocol. After the upload is complete, the conveyor belt resumes operation, transporting the insects forward. When the insects leave the photographed area and enter the insect-leaking device, the system sends a signal to the vibrator 42, which restarts and continues to transport the dried insects from the vibrating plate 41 back to the conveyor belt. This cycle repeats continuously, enabling continuous monitoring and treatment of the pests.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
