Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological control technology, specifically a field release device for mantis egg cases. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of sustainable development in modern agriculture, biological control technology has become an important research direction in the field of pest and disease control due to its green, environmentally friendly, and eco-friendly characteristics. As a highly efficient predatory insect in nature, the mantis, with its powerful predatory ability and wide predatory range, can effectively control a variety of agricultural and forestry pests, such as aphids, moth larvae, and leafhoppers, and occupies an important position in the biological control system. At present, the artificial release of mantis egg cases has become the main means of using mantises for biological control. However, there are many problems that need to be solved in the existing methods of releasing mantis egg cases.

[0003] Currently, most mantis egg case release carriers are simple in structure and have limited function. Some use open containers, which cannot provide a stable temperature and humidity environment for the egg cases. In the natural environment, they are easily affected by extreme weather. For example, in hot and dry weather, the egg cases lose moisture rapidly, leading to a significant reduction in the hatching rate. During heavy rain, the egg cases are easily washed and soaked by rainwater, causing mold and rot. On the other hand, some containers with poor sealing are unable to resist the feeding and damage of small pests such as ants and beetles, which seriously affects the hatching success rate of the egg cases. In addition, existing release devices generally lack convenient fixing structures. When placed in the field, they are easily displaced or fallen due to factors such as strong winds and agricultural operations, which cannot ensure that the egg cases are in a suitable hatching position, reducing the stability and reliability of biological control effects.

[0004] Meanwhile, with the development of large-scale and intensive agriculture, higher requirements have been placed on the cost control, ease of processing, and applicability of mantis egg case release devices. Traditional release devices often suffer from complex processing technology and high costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production and promotion. Furthermore, existing devices cannot flexibly adapt to different crop planting scenarios and pest control needs, which greatly limits the widespread application of mantises in biological control. Therefore, a field release device for mantis egg cases is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a field release device for mantis egg cases, which has advantages in cost and production, and solves the problem that traditional egg case release devices may be difficult to mass-produce and apply due to factors such as expensive materials.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a field release device for mantis egg cases, comprising a release bottle body, a cap connected to the top of the release bottle body, three elliptical holes on the bottom surface of the release bottle body and the top surface of the cap, a wooden stick placed inside the release bottle body, a miniature temperature and humidity sensor installed on the inner bottom wall of the release bottle body, and a sponge lining pasted on the inner wall of the release bottle body;

[0007] The surface of the release bottle is fitted with a fixing component;

[0008] The fixing assembly includes a fixing collar fitted onto the surface of the release bottle, with hooks welded to the surface of the fixing collar, and two screws connected internally by threads. Each of the two screws has a clamping plate mounted on its opposite side via a bearing.

[0009] Preferably, both the release bottle body and the bottle cap are made of plastic, and the release bottle body is a hollow cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the three elliptical holes at the top correspond one-to-one with the three elliptical holes at the bottom, and the centers of the corresponding elliptical holes are on the same vertical line.

[0011] Preferably, the sponge liner is adhered to the inner wall of the release bottle with an environmentally friendly waterproof adhesive, and the adhesive layer has a uniform thickness of 0.1cm.

[0012] Preferably, the sponge liner is fitted to the inner wall of the release bottle, and the lower edge of the sponge liner is in contact with the inner bottom wall of the release bottle, and the upper edge of the sponge liner is about 1 cm away from the top opening of the release bottle.

[0013] Preferably, the hook is in the shape of an inverted "J", the two screws are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fixing collar, and the two clamping plates are both arc-shaped, with their curvature consistent with the curvature of the outer surface of the release bottle. The two clamping plates can rotate freely around the screw axis through bearings and contact the surface of the release bottle. The two clamping plates are slidably connected to the inside of the fixing collar.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The field release device for mantis egg cases is made of plastic for both the release bottle and the cap, which is low-cost and conducive to large-scale production. The oval holes at the bottom of the release bottle and the top of the cap ensure air circulation and prevent water accumulation, creating a good gaseous environment for the egg cases. The sponge lining attached to the inner wall provides moisture retention, suitable for arid regions, and maintains the incubation humidity. The miniature temperature and humidity sensor on the inner bottom wall monitors the temperature and humidity in real time, allowing for timely adjustment and providing a stable and suitable incubation environment. The wooden stick inside mimics the characteristics of wild incubation, making the placement of the egg cases closer to nature and helping them to develop and hatch normally.

[0016] 2. The field release device for mantis egg cases features a modular design for the fixing components on the surface of the release bottle, making it easy to operate. The inverted "J"-shaped hook can be securely hung on various facilities, making it suitable for orchards, greenhouses, and other scenarios. The fixing ring can slide along the bottle to adjust its position, and the symmetrically distributed screws drive the arc-shaped clamping plate to move, stably clamping the release bottle onto crop stems of different thicknesses. This meets the placement needs of diverse planting environments, expands the coverage of biological control, and requires no complicated tools for installation and disassembly, improving work efficiency.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment of a field release device for mantis egg cases includes a release bottle 101, a bottle cap 102 connected to the top of the release bottle 101, three oval holes 103 on the bottom of the release bottle 101 and the top surface of the bottle cap 102, a wooden stick 104 placed inside the release bottle 101, a miniature temperature and humidity sensor 105 installed on the inner bottom wall of the release bottle 101, and a sponge liner 106 pasted on the inner wall of the release bottle 101.

[0024] Both the release bottle body 101 and the bottle cap 102 are made of plastic, and the release bottle body 101 is a hollow cylinder.

[0025] In this embodiment, the release bottle body 101 and the bottle cap 102 are made of plastic, which greatly reduces the raw material cost of the release device and facilitates large-scale production.

[0026] The three oval holes 103 at the top correspond one-to-one with the three oval holes 103 at the bottom, and the centers of the corresponding oval holes 103 are on the same vertical line.

[0027] In this embodiment, the elliptical holes 103 at the top and bottom of the release bottle 101 ensure air circulation and create a suitable gaseous environment for the mantis egg case. At the same time, the elliptical holes 103 at the top and bottom prevent water accumulation inside the bottle and avoid the egg case from becoming moldy due to soaking.

[0028] The sponge liner 106 is attached to the inner wall of the release bottle 101, which can play a good role in moisturizing, especially suitable for arid areas, to maintain the humidity required for egg case incubation and reduce incubation failure caused by dry environment;

[0029] The miniature temperature and humidity sensor 105 installed on the inner bottom wall can monitor the temperature and humidity data inside the bottle in real time, allowing users to keep track of environmental changes. If the temperature and humidity are abnormal, adjustment measures can be taken in time to provide a stable and suitable environment for egg case incubation, significantly improving the hatching success rate.

[0030] The wooden stick 104 placed inside mimics the characteristic of mantises suspending their egg cases during incubation in the wild, making the placement of the egg cases in the release bottle closer to the natural state. This helps the egg cases develop and hatch normally, conforms to the biological characteristics of mantises, and provides the egg cases with a familiar and suitable physical environment.

[0031] The surface of the release bottle 101 is fitted with a fixing component 2;

[0032] The fixing component 2 includes a fixing collar 201 fitted on the surface of the release bottle body 101. A hook 202 is welded to the surface of the fixing collar 201. Two screws 203 are connected to the internal thread of the fixing collar 201. A clamping plate 204 is installed on the opposite side of the two screws 203 through a bearing.

[0033] In this embodiment, a fixing component 2 is provided on the surface of the release bottle body 101. It is a split design and the operation of the fixing component 2 is simple and easy to understand. Whether it is suspended by using the hook 202 or fixed by controlling the clamping plate 204 by rotating the screw 203, no complicated tools are required. Operators can quickly complete the installation and disassembly of the release device, which can ensure that the release bottle body 101 is flexibly fixed.

[0034] The hook 202 is in the shape of an inverted "J". Two screws 203 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fixing collar 201. Both clamping plates 204 are arc-shaped, and their curvature is consistent with the curvature of the outer surface of the release bottle body 101. The two clamping plates 204 can rotate freely around the axis of the screws 203 through bearings and contact the surface of the release bottle body 101. Both clamping plates 204 are slidably connected to the fixing collar 201.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixing collar 201 is fitted onto the surface of the release bottle body 101 and can slide up and down along the bottle body to adjust its position to adapt to different placement needs. The hook 202 welded to the surface of the fixing collar 201 can be firmly hung on facilities such as trellises, fences, and tree branches, making it suitable for various agricultural scenarios such as orchards and greenhouses. By rotating the screw 203 to drive the clamping plate 204 to move, the release bottle body 101 can be stably clamped and fixed on cylindrical objects such as crop stems, meeting the placement needs of different crop planting environments. This allows the release device to be flexibly applied to various field scenarios, improving the coverage of biological control.

[0036] In summary, the field release device for mantis egg cases, by using plastic for both the release bottle body 101 and the cap 102, is low-cost and suitable for large-scale production. The oval holes 103 at the bottom of the release bottle body 101 and the top of the cap 102 ensure air circulation, prevent water accumulation, and create a good gaseous environment for the egg cases. The sponge lining 106 attached to the inner wall provides moisture retention, suitable for arid regions, and maintains the incubation humidity. The miniature temperature and humidity sensor 105 on the inner bottom wall monitors the temperature and humidity in real time, facilitating timely adjustments and providing a stable and suitable incubation environment. The internal wooden stick 104 mimics the characteristics of wild incubation, making the placement of the egg cases closer to nature and helping them to develop and hatch normally.

[0037] Furthermore, the fixed component 2 on the surface of the release bottle 101 adopts a split design, which is easy to operate. The inverted "J" shaped hook 202 can be firmly hung on various facilities, which is suitable for orchards, greenhouses and other scenarios. The fixed collar 201 can slide along the bottle body to adjust its position. The arc-shaped clamping plate 204 is moved by the symmetrically distributed screws 203, which can stably clamp the release bottle 101 on the stems of crops of different thicknesses, meet the placement needs of diverse planting environments, expand the coverage of biological control, and the installation and disassembly do not require complicated tools, thus improving work efficiency.
