Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cicada catching technology, specifically relating to a cicada catching device that prevents molting. Background Technology

[0002] Cicadas, representative species of the Cicadidae family, grow underground for three to five years, relying on or around the fibrous roots of tree plants for growth, depending on the oxygen and moisture produced by these roots. Upon maturity, they burrow out of the soil to complete the final three steps of their life cycle: molting, mating, and reproducing. Because they depend on tree roots for growth, after emerging from the soil, they instinctively know the location of the tree and climb towards it, using the trunk and branches for support. The vast majority hang upside down under the trunk or leaves to begin molting and transformation.

[0003] Furthermore, since cicada nymphs contain far more protein than any animal meat or poultry eggs, and also contain a variety of nutrients essential to the human body, they have excellent auxiliary therapeutic effects in promoting growth and development, replenishing the body's metabolic consumption, and aiding in the recovery of patients with physical weakness. Therefore, cicadas have become a rare, natural, pollution-free, high-grade nutritional food.

[0004] Currently, people primarily use traditional methods to catch and harvest cicadas: in the evening, armed with flashlights or other lighting tools, they go to the trees and search for cicadas from top to bottom. During the cicada harvesting season, people repeatedly catch cicadas every evening using these tools. This method is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but the quality of the cicadas caught is also difficult to guarantee. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a cicada-catching device to prevent molting, which solves the technical problems of high labor intensity and long catching time in cicada catching.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A cicada-catching device to prevent molting includes a guiding and catching mechanism. The guiding and catching mechanism comprises a catching guide and a water storage tank. The outer surface of the catching guide is rough, facilitating cicada crawling. The lower end of the catching guide is in contact with the ground or buried underground, while the upper end of the catching guide has a water storage tank on its inner side. The guiding and catching mechanism is placed in the cicada planting area, with the lower end of the catching guide in contact with or buried underground. This forces the cicadas to pass over the catching guide regardless of which direction they climb the tree, reaching the top and falling into the water storage tank, thus achieving the purpose of capture. Water is placed in the storage tank; when the cicadas encounter water, they enter a state of suspended animation, thereby preventing molting. The overall shape of the guiding and catching mechanism is not limited; it can be a straight strip, with multiple strips joined together in a single row to form a catching enclosure, or it can be assembled into a ring to encircle the tree trunk.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the guiding and capturing mechanism comprises at least two components, each joined end-to-end. The inner wall of each water storage tank faces the tree trunk, and the inner wall of the water storage tank can directly contact the tree trunk, or there can be some gaps between them. The captured guide components, when joined together, form a frustum shape, and the water storage tanks, when joined together, form a cylindrical shape, encircling the tree trunk. The lower end of the frustum-shaped capturing guide component is in contact with the ground or buried underground, ensuring that the cicada, regardless of which direction it climbs the tree, must pass through the capturing guide component. After reaching the top of the capturing guide component, it falls into the water storage tank, thus achieving the purpose of capture. Water is placed in the water storage tank; when the cicada encounters water, it enters a state of suspended animation, thereby preventing molting.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper edge of the high end of the capture guide is connected to the water storage tank.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the guiding and capturing mechanism comprises two components: two adjacent water storage tanks are joined to form an annular water tank, and the inner wall of the annular water tank is a tree trunk contact ring. Using two guiding and capturing mechanisms, each C-shaped, allows for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a baffle plate is provided at the joint of adjacent water storage tanks. The baffle plate allows each water storage tank to collect cicadas individually. Of course, it is not necessary to use a baffle plate; a leak-proof structure can be provided at the joint of two water storage tanks to make the assembled water storage tanks form a ring shape.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the capturing guide is a capturing net, and the small mesh of the capturing net will prevent cicadas from passing through the gaps in the net.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the high end of the capturing guide is provided with an arc-shaped guide part, the upper edge of which is connected to the water storage tank. The arc-shaped guide part makes it easier to lure the cicadas that have climbed up from the bottom to climb upwards and fall into the water storage tank.

[0014] This invention uses a guiding and capturing mechanism to ensure that cicadas can only climb onto the capturing guide, with the bottom of the guide directly grounded. After climbing to the top of the guide, the cicadas fall directly into a water storage tank for automatic collection. The collected cicadas can be retrieved directly from the opening of the water storage tank. This invention can be arranged in a circular pattern around the tree trunk, or in a single or multiple rows of straight strips; the specific arrangement is not limited, as long as it forms a capturing enclosure. The modular structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly, is reusable, and achieves automatic cicada capture while preventing molting. The water in the storage tank puts the cicadas into a state of suspended animation, preventing them from scratching each other, turning black, and affecting quality. It also provides some protection against pests by preventing them from climbing trees to lay eggs. Using this invention saves cicada capture time, reduces labor input, improves work efficiency, and thus increases economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] A cicada-catching device to prevent molting, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes at least two guiding and capturing mechanisms. In this embodiment, two guiding and capturing mechanisms are spliced ​​together end to end.

[0024] Each guiding and capturing mechanism includes a capturing guide 1 and a water storage tank 2. The outer surface of the capturing guide 1 is a rough surface that facilitates the crawling of cicadas. A board or cloth can be used, as long as the cicadas can climb on it. Alternatively, a capturing net can be used directly, and the mesh of the capturing net should be small so that the cicadas will not slip through the gaps in the net.

[0025] The lower end of the capture guide 1 is in contact with the ground or buried underground, and a water storage tank 2 is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the capture guide 1. In this embodiment, the water storage tank is in contact with the upper edge of the upper end of the capture guide, and the inner wall of the water storage tank 2 is the contact surface of the tree trunk.

[0026] After being assembled, each capture guide is a frustum-shaped capture guide. The lower end of the frustum-shaped capture guide is in direct contact with the ground, making it easy for cicadas to climb. Each water tank is a ring-shaped groove with a closed bottom and an open top. There are water baffles 3 on both sides of the ring groove. The inner walls of the two water tanks serve as the contact surface of the tree trunk. After being assembled around the tree trunk, they form a cylindrical shape.

[0027] Cicadas have an innate instinct to climb trees to molt, but because the lower end of the cone-shaped capture guide is in contact with or buried in the ground and encircles the tree trunk, cicadas must pass through the capture guide no matter which direction they climb the tree from. After reaching the top of the capture guide, they fall into the water storage tank, thus achieving the purpose of capture. Water is placed in the storage tank, and when cicadas encounter water, they enter a state of suspended animation, thereby achieving the effect of preventing molting. Furthermore, the suspended animation of cicadas can also prevent them from scratching each other too much, causing them to turn black and affecting their quality.

[0028] When cicadas need to be retrieved, they can simply be scooped out of the water tank, which is convenient and quick.

[0029] Of course, the water storage tank is not limited to the structure of this embodiment. A leak-proof structure can also be set at the joint of the two water storage tanks so that the assembled water storage tank is ring-shaped.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] A cicada-catching device to prevent molting, such as Figure 4As shown, the device includes a guiding and capturing mechanism, which comprises a capturing guide 1 and a water storage tank 2. The outer surface of the capturing guide is a rough surface that facilitates cicada crawling. The lower end of the capturing guide is in contact with the ground or buried underground, and the water storage tank is located on the inner side of the upper end of the capturing guide. A single guiding and capturing mechanism can be used directly, or multiple mechanisms can be directly spliced ​​together. This embodiment uses a straight strip as an example for demonstration. Specifically, multiple mechanisms can be spliced ​​together in a single row, or straight strips can be arranged to form a rectangle.

[0032] The trapping mechanism is placed in the cicada planting area. The lower end of the trapping guide is either in contact with the ground or buried underground, so that no matter which direction the cicada climbs the tree, it must pass through the trapping guide. After reaching the top of the trapping guide, it falls into the water storage tank, thus achieving the purpose of trapping. Water is placed in the water storage tank. When the cicada encounters water, it will enter a state of suspended animation, thereby achieving the effect of preventing molting.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] A cicada-catching device to prevent molting, such as Figure 5 As shown, the high end of the capturing guide 1 is provided with an arc-shaped guide part 11. The upper edge of the arc-shaped guide part is connected to the water storage tank 2. The arc-shaped guide part makes it easier to lure the cicadas that have climbed up from the bottom to climb upwards and fall into the water storage tank. The rest is the same as in Embodiment 1.
