Description

Insect traps for customs inspection Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of customs inspection equipment, and in particular to an insect trapping device for customs inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Invasive alien species, as a global problem, have attracted widespread attention from countries and international organizations worldwide. Customs quarantine and inspection can effectively build a biosecurity network at national borders. During the quarantine and inspection process, small and medium-sized alien insects are frequently captured.

[0003] Currently, customs officers typically carry ordinary tweezers as insect-catching tools during quarantine inspections, using flashlights for illumination to capture small and medium-sized insects. However, the process is cumbersome, requiring quick reflexes and sharp eyes. This method also results in a short capture distance, low safety, and low capture efficiency. Therefore, a Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL202420343725.X appeared, which discloses a bug-catching device for customs inspection, including a trapping cage. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the trapping cage. Multiple lighting lamps are distributed on the inner fixed wall of the trapping cage. A hollow column is fixedly connected to the inner fixed wall of the trapping cage. A sliding groove is opened on the inner peripheral wall of the hollow column. A limit block is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A return spring is fixedly connected between the limit block and the inner bottom wall of the hollow column. A lifting rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limit block. The lifting rod passes through the top wall of the trapping cage and the U-shaped frame. A movable groove communicating with the sliding groove is also opened on the hollow column. Multiple connecting rods are distributed on the body of the lifting rod. Multiple connecting rods pass through the movable groove. Multiple receiving grooves are opened on the side wall of the trapping cage. A closing plate is slidably connected to the multiple receiving grooves. The end of the closing plate near the hollow column is fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting rod. An insect release component is provided at the lower end of the trapping cage.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has at least the following problems: First, it is inconvenient to remove the captured insects, as they may remain attached to the inner wall of the trap. Second, it requires staff to continuously press down the lifting rod and wait for the flying insects to enter the trap, which is quite laborious. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing an insect-catching device for customs inspection. This invention not only facilitates the capture and removal of flying insects but also reduces the workload of staff, effectively improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the insect-catching device.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows: a customs inspection insect trapping device, including a hand-held rod, a fixed frame, a movable frame, and a locking device. The first end of the fixed frame is connected to the hand-held rod, and the second end of the fixed frame is connected to one end of the movable frame through a torsion spring shaft. The locking device is set on the second end of the fixed frame. The movable frame is provided with a socket that cooperates with the locking device. A first net is provided inside the fixed frame, and a second net is detachably provided inside the movable frame through a connector. An installation plate is provided on the first net, and an insect-attracting lamp is provided on the installation plate.

[0007] As an optimization, the fixed frame and the movable frame are identical, with both the first and second mesh panels being nylon mesh. This ensures a tight seal between the fixed and movable frames when closed. The nylon mesh also provides some elasticity to prevent insects from being crushed.

[0008] As an optimization, the connector can be any of the following: Velcro, zipper, or snap fastener. This allows for easy opening of the second mesh panel.

[0009] As an improvement, the handheld pole is made of plastic and is telescopic. When not in use, it is easy to carry and move; when in use, it can be unfolded to increase the safe distance for catching insects.

[0010] As an optimization, the locking device includes a pin, a first baffle, a second baffle, and a spring. A through hole is provided at the second end of the fixed frame. The first baffle is located at the first end of the pin, and the second end of the pin passes through the through hole and connects to the second baffle. The spring is sleeved on the pin between the second baffle and the fixed frame, and the tip of the second end of the pin is adapted to the insertion hole. By providing the pin, it can cooperate with the insertion hole; by providing the first and second baffles, it can prevent the pin from falling out of the through hole; by providing the spring, it can cooperate with the second baffle, allowing the pin to be stably inserted into the insertion hole and preventing it from accidentally falling out.

[0011] As an improvement, the first end of the pin is also equipped with a pull ring, and the pull ring has a pull rope. By setting up the pull ring and pull rope, it is convenient for workers to pull down the pin and free up the movable frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By incorporating a handheld handle, the device is easy for workers to carry and operate. The fixed frame, first net, movable frame, and second net work together to capture and trap flying insects. A torsion spring pivot allows the movable frame to rotate and close with the fixed frame. A locking device and a socket lock the movable frame in place when it is opened, preventing it from closing automatically and reducing worker workload. A connector facilitates opening the second net and removing the insects. An mounting plate and an insect-attracting light lure the insects to the top of the fixed frame, allowing the movable frame to capture them when it closes. This invention not only facilitates the capture and removal of flying insects but also reduces worker workload, effectively improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the insect-catching device.

An mounting plate 4 is located on the first net 3, and an insect-attracting lamp 5 is located on the mounting plate 4. A battery is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 4, and the battery is electrically connected to the insect-attracting lamp 5 via a wire.

[0020] The handheld handle 1 allows for convenient carrying and operation by staff; the fixed frame 2, first net 3, movable frame 9, and second net 10 work together to capture and trap flying insects; the torsion spring shaft 6 allows the movable frame 9 to rotate and close with the fixed frame 2; the locking device 7 and the socket 12 lock the movable frame 9 in place when it is opened, preventing it from closing automatically; the connector 8 facilitates opening the second net 10 to remove flying insects; the mounting plate 4 and the insect-attracting lamp 5 lure flying insects to the top of the fixed frame 2, allowing the movable frame 9 to capture them when it closes; and the battery provides power to the insect-attracting lamp 5.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the fixed frame 2 is identical to the movable frame 9, and both the first mesh 3 and the second mesh 10 are nylon mesh. To ensure the tightness of the fixed frame 2 and the movable frame 9 when closed, the nylon mesh has a certain degree of elasticity, which can prevent insects from being crushed.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, connector 8 can be any of the following: Velcro, zipper, or snap fastener. This facilitates the opening of the second mesh panel 10.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, the handheld pole 1 is a plastic telescopic pole. When not in use, it is easy to carry and move; when in use, it can be unfolded to increase the safe distance for catching insects.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the locking device 7 includes a pin 13, a first baffle 14, a second baffle 15, and a spring 16. A through hole is provided at the second end of the fixing frame 2. The first end of the pin 13 is provided with the first baffle 14, and the second end of the pin 13 passes through the through hole and connects to the second baffle 15.

[0026] In use, the operator unfolds the handle 1 and then pulls down the pull ring 17, compressing the spring 16. Next, the movable frame 9 is rotated 180° to open. When the second end of the pin 13 aligns with the insertion hole 12, the pull ring 17 is released, and the spring 16 pushes the second baffle 15 to reset, allowing the second end of the pin 13 to insert into the insertion hole 12, thus locking the movable frame 9. At this point, the torsion spring inside the torsion spring shaft 6 is in a twisted state. After turning on the insect-attracting lamp 5, the operator can hold the handle. 1. The handheld rod 1 can be placed on the ground. When a flying insect enters the fixed frame 2 or lands on the insect-attracting lamp 5, the operator pulls the pull rope 11, pulling the pin 13 out of the insertion hole 12, releasing the movable frame 9. Under the action of the torsion spring shaft 6, the movable frame 9 quickly rotates and closes towards the fixed frame 2, allowing the first net 3 and the second net 10 to capture the flying insect. When it is necessary to remove the flying insect, the operator can open the connecting piece 8 and then use tweezers or other tools to pick up the flying insect and put it into the sampling tube, which is very convenient. This utility model can not only facilitate the capture and removal of flying insects, but also reduce the workload of operators, effectively improving the use effect and insect-catching efficiency of the insect-catching device.
