Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pest capture and treatment, specifically to a tea tree pest capture device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main method for controlling tea tree pests and diseases is the use of chemical pesticides. The advantage of this method is that it can quickly kill pests and control outbreaks. However, the disadvantages are that the frequent use of chemical pesticides not only increases the cost of control but also causes pests to develop resistance. In particular, pesticide residues affect the quality and safety of tea, have a negative impact on the ecological environment, and pose a threat to human health. Manual killing is simple and easy to carry out, does not pollute the environment or harm natural enemies, and is the safest method for controlling tea tree pests, but its efficiency is too low.

[0003] The tea leaf beetle is an important and common outbreak pest in tea gardens, damaging the tender leaves of tea trees. It exhibits feigned death, meaning that when stimulated or vibrated, it falls from its resting place and appears to be in a state of suspended animation, recovering quickly and leaving. Referring to existing technology CN213549191U, a device for capturing tea tree pests exhibiting feigned death includes a mobile platform, a shaking device mounted on the platform, and a collection device. The collection device is mounted on the chassis of the mobile platform, and the shaking device is mounted above the collection device via a support frame. Specifically, the mobile platform moves along the furrows of the tea trees where the pests are to be captured. The shaking device on the platform vibrates the tea trees on both sides of the furrows, causing the feigned-death pests to curl up and fall into the collection device. A fan then crushes and kills the pests, improving the efficiency of pest capture.

[0004] However, in actual use, it was found that the high-speed rotating fan would generate a lot of noise, and the body fluids produced by strangling the insects would splash and adhere to the device, producing a foul odor. The entire device would also need to be cleaned later, which was difficult. In addition, the hard insect body of the tea leaf beetle would wear down the fan blades and reduce the life of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a tea tree pest trapping device, which offers a technical solution different from the existing technology that uses a fan to kill pests.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A tea tree pest trapping device includes a mobile platform, a collection hopper and a water tank located below the collection hopper. The collection hopper includes a collection port extending into the water tank. The water tank has a pressure plate and a cylinder for driving the pressure plate to move up and down. The pressure plate has a through-hole facing the collection port and a horizontal T-shaped groove. A sealing plate is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove via a slider. A spring is provided between the slider and the T-shaped groove. A linkage plate is fixedly mounted on the sealing plate. A wedge is fixedly mounted on the water tank. The wedge is used to push the linkage plate downwards towards the through-hole and close the through-hole with the sealing plate. The sealing plate has multiple vent holes.

[0008] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0009] This method involves filling a water tank with water to maintain a certain water level. At this point, a pressure plate is positioned at the top of the tank, with an opening on the pressure plate connected to a collection port. Pests that appear to be dead fall into the water through the collection port and the opening. For example, tea leaf beetles breathe through spiracles; immersion in water blocks their oxygen supply, causing them to suffocate. Most pests drown, while some survive and float on the surface. A cylinder drives the pressure plate downwards, which in turn moves a sealing plate and a linkage plate downwards. After passing a wedge, the wedge pushes the linkage plate and the sealing plate downwards. As the plate moves toward the opening, the spring compresses, and the sealing plate closes the opening. The cylinder drives the pressure plate to continue moving downwards, while the wedge maintains pressure on the linkage plate. Air is expelled upwards through multiple vent holes. The pressure plate pushes the floating pests into the water and holds them there for a period of time, drowning them by cutting off the oxygen supply. Then, the cylinder drives the pressure plate to move upwards, and the linkage plate moves upwards, gradually disengaging from the wedge. The compressed spring returns, pulling the sealing plate to open the opening. The opening then connects with the collection port, allowing the water in the tank to be poured out to clean up the drowned pests.

[0010] Compared to existing technologies that use fans to kill pests, this application uses water to drown pests, which does not generate noise during the killing process, does not decompose the pest corpses, and does not cause splashing of body fluids, thus avoiding the problem of difficult cleanup later; moreover, the device is simpler and more reliable.

[0011] In some embodiments, the wedge includes a wedge surface and a vertical surface connected to each other. The wedge surface pushes the linkage plate to move, causing the sealing plate to close the opening, while the vertical surface maintains pressure on the linkage plate, so that the sealing plate keeps the opening closed during the process of the pressing plate pressing the pest into the water.

[0012] In some embodiments, the water tank is provided with an inlet and a outlet. The inlet is opened to add sufficient water into the tank, and the outlet is used to discharge the dead insects and used water to the outside.

[0013] In some embodiments, the diameter of the opening is the same as the diameter of the collection port. This optimization ensures that pests fall into the water tank through both the collection port and the opening.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the water tank slopes downward toward the drain outlet to ensure that all water in the tank is drained.

[0015] In some embodiments, a roller is rotatably connected to one end of the linkage plate that contacts the wedge. The roller's rotation enables sliding on the wedge, improving stability and reducing friction. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In the following statements, directional terms such as "left," "right," "up," and "down" are based on the directions shown in the diagram. In practice, if the corresponding structures are changed in the same direction based on the direction while maintaining their relative positions, it will not affect the implementation of the plan.

[0025] Example: A tea tree pest trapping device, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a mobile platform 1, the mobile platform 1 is fixedly equipped with a support 3, the support 3 is equipped with a shaking device 4, and the shaking device 4 is described in reference to the prior art CN213549191U, a device for capturing tea tree dormant pests.

[0026] Mobile platform 1 is fixedly equipped with a collection hopper 2 and a water tank 6 located below the collection hopper 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, the collecting hopper 2 includes a collecting port 16 extending into the water tank 6. The water tank 6 is equipped with a horizontal pressure plate 10. A cylinder 5 is fixedly installed in the water tank 6 to drive the pressure plate 10 to move up and down. The pressure plate 10 has a through-hole 13 directly opposite the collecting port 16. Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the opening 13 has a horizontal T-shaped groove, and a sealing plate 8 is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove via a slider 14. Specifically, the sealing plate 8 is fixedly equipped with a slider 14 that is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove. A spring 15 is fixedly installed between the slider 14 and the T-shaped groove. A linkage plate 7 is fixedly installed on the left side of the sealing plate 8. The water tank 6 is also fixedly equipped with a wedge 9, which includes a wedge surface and a vertical surface. Multiple vent holes 12 are evenly distributed on the sealing plate 8. The widths of the sealing plate 8, the pressure plate 10, and the linkage plate 7 are all equal to the width of the water tank 6.

[0027] This method involves filling water into the water tank 6 to maintain a certain liquid level, which is lower than the wedge surface of the wedge block. At this time, the pressure plate 10 is located at the top of the water tank 6, and the opening 13 on the pressure plate 10 is connected to the collection port 16. Then, the seemingly dead pests 11 fall into the water in the water tank 6 through the collection port 16 and the opening 13.

[0028] The tea leaf beetle breathes through its spiracles; immersion in water can block its oxygen supply, causing it to suffocate and die. Most of the pests 11 drown, while some survive and float on the surface. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cylinder 5 drives the pressure plate 10 to move downward, and the pressure plate 10 drives the sealing plate 8 and the linkage plate 7 to move downward. After the linkage plate 7 passes the wedge block 9, the wedge surface pushes the linkage plate 7 and the sealing plate 8 to move toward the opening 13. The spring 15 is compressed, and the sealing plate 8 closes the opening 13. At this time, the pressure plate 10 is still above the liquid surface.

[0029] Cylinder 5 drives pressure plate 10 to continue moving downwards, and the air inside water tank 6 is discharged upwards through multiple exhaust holes 12. Linkage plate 7 transitions from a wedge surface to a vertical surface, and the vertical surface maintains pressure on linkage plate 7. Sealing plate 8 keeps the opening 13 closed. Pressure plate 10, sealing plate 8, and linkage plate 7 press the floating pests 11 into the water and keep them submerged for a period of time, drowning the pests 11 by blocking the oxygen supply. Then, cylinder 5 drives pressure plate 10 to move upwards, and linkage plate 7 moves upwards, gradually separating from the vertical surface and wedge surface. The compressed spring 15 returns and pulls sealing plate 8 to the left, opening the opening 13. The opening 13 then moves to connect with the collection port 16. Water tank 6 has an inlet and an outlet 17 on the right side from top to bottom. When not draining, outlet 17 is sealed with a sealing plug. When draining, the sealing plug is removed, and outlet 17 drains the drowned pests 11 and water.

[0030] The widths of the sealing plate 8 and the linkage plate 7 are both equal to the width of the water tank 6, thus ensuring that the pests 11 are prevented from entering the T-shaped groove during the pressing process. At the same time, the size of the vent 12 is much smaller than the size of the pests 11, ensuring that the pests 11 will not block the vent 12.

[0031] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
