Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato planting technology, specifically a potato pest trapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes are an important food and economic crop. Their tubers are rich in starch, protein, and vitamins, and can be used as a staple food or processed into various food products. During the growth process, potatoes may encounter various pests that can damage the leaves and tubers, affecting yield and quality. Pests not only directly damage the plant's physiological functions by sucking sap, boring into tissues, or spreading pathogens, but also trigger a chain reaction—damaged leaves reduce photosynthetic efficiency and affect dry matter accumulation, and wounds are prone to secondary diseases such as soft rot, ultimately leading to reduced yield and deterioration in quality. During potato cultivation, pest control is an essential part of ensuring the normal growth of potatoes.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222898118U discloses a potato pest monitoring device that can thoroughly clean the electric grid, eliminating the presence of dead pests after cleaning. It can further monitor pest numbers, allowing staff to determine the amount of pesticide to spray. However, this device relies on the dual attraction of biopheromones emitted by the lure and the trapping light. While the electric shock component has a hierarchical design with first and second positioning rings, pests may still slip through the net due to their flexible flight paths. Furthermore, potato plants change height as they grow, altering the pest invasion range. This device cannot flexibly adjust to the potato's growth stage; as the plant grows taller, the trapping light and lure may be obscured by leaves, weakening the attraction range and affecting the pest trapping effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a potato pest trapping device that actively traps pests by utilizing their chemotaxis and phototaxis. A suction device generates negative pressure to draw pests into a collection trough, where an insecticide eliminates them, forming a closed loop from trapping to elimination. Furthermore, growers can flexibly adjust the device height according to the potato plant's height, adapting it to different growth stages. This simplifies the installation process, enhances the device's stability during use, and improves ease of installation and use, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a potato pest trapping device, comprising a main board, the main board having multiple sets of through slots inside, and a lamp plate bolted to the bottom end; a cover plate installed at the bottom end of the main board at the outer edge of the through slots; an insect-attracting lamp installed at the bottom of the lamp plate, and an insect-attracting groove welded to the middle of the bottom end; support devices provided at the four corners of the side of the main board, and a trapping cover connected to the top; a suction device provided at the top of the trapping cover; the output end of the suction device passing through a conduit and connected to the interior of the top of the insect-collecting groove side; a solar photovoltaic panel installed on the other side of the top of the main board via a support rod, and a storage box installed vertically below the solar photovoltaic panel.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the insect-attracting lamp is installed in a ring at the bottom of the lamp plate near the outer side of the insect-attracting groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the cover plate is a downwardly expanding trumpet shape, and multiple sets of through holes are opened in a circular array on the side.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top end of the suction device is fixed to the bottom end of the insect collection trough by bolts, and the front of the insect collection trough is equipped with a side door that is rotatably installed by a hinge, and an insecticide is placed inside.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the output end of the solar photovoltaic panel is connected to the charging interface of the storage box through a wire. The output end of the storage box is divided into two paths: one path is connected to the input end of the insect attractant lamp through a voltage stabilizing module, and the other path is connected to the motor input end of the suction device through a switching device.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the support device is provided with four sets, including four sets of connecting plates fixedly installed at the four corners of the main board side. Each set of connecting plates is connected by a fixed column. A rotating rod is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the fixed column. An adjusting rod is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the bottom of the rotating rod. Multiple sets of fixing holes are arranged oppositely on the side of the rotating rod and the side of the adjusting rod. A positioning hole is opened on the upper surface of the bottom end of the adjusting rod, and a conical column is provided inside the positioning hole.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a potato pest trapping device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses the specific odor emitted by the insect-attracting agent in the insect-attracting trough to form a chemical gradient field. Combined with the insect-attracting lamp that lights up at night, it actively attracts and traps pests by utilizing their chemotaxis and phototaxis. The trumpet-shaped cover expands the trapping range and guides the pests to gather. The suction device generates negative pressure to suck the pests into the insect-collecting trough. The insecticide in the trough kills the pests. The side door can also be used to clean up the dead insects and replenish the agent, forming a closed loop from trapping to extermination. In addition, the solar photovoltaic panel and the storage box provide power, which is convenient, energy-saving, and efficient in completing the insect-attracting work.

[0015] 2. This utility model allows growers to adjust the length of the sliding adjustment rod on the outer surface of the rotating rod according to the height of the potato plant. After adjusting the length of both, bolts and nuts are used to fix the rod through the fixing holes. Then, the conical column is driven into the ground through the positioning hole to fix the adjustment rod. This achieves flexible adjustment of the device height, adapting to potato plants at different growth stages. At the same time, it simplifies the installation process, enhances the stability of the device during use, and improves the convenience of installation and use. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A potato pest trapping device includes a main board 1. Multiple through slots 2 are opened inside the main board 1, and a lamp plate 3 is bolted to the bottom end. A cover plate 4 is installed at the bottom end of the main board 1 on the outer ring of the through slots 2. An insect-attracting lamp 5 is installed at the bottom of the lamp plate 3, and an insect-attracting groove 12 is welded to the middle of the bottom end. Support devices 6 are provided at the four corners of the side of the main board 1, and a trapping cover 7 is connected to the top. A suction device 8 is provided at the top of the trapping cover 7. The output end of the suction device 8 is connected to the inside of the top of the insect collection groove 9 through a conduit. A solar photovoltaic panel 10 is also installed on the other side of the top of the main board 1 through a support rod, and a storage box 11 is installed vertically below the solar photovoltaic panel 10.

[0027] Furthermore, the insect-attracting trough 12 contains an insect-attracting agent, which can be any existing insect-attracting agent, and will not be elaborated here. The insect-attracting agent releases specific odor molecules inside the insect-attracting trough 12, forming a directional chemical gradient field, stimulating the target pests in the potato field to produce chemotaxis and actively move towards the insect-attracting trough 12. At the same time, at night, the insect-attracting lamp 5 is turned on, and the insects approach the insect-attracting lamp 5 by taking advantage of their phototaxis. Through the combination of the insect-attracting trough 12 and the insect-attracting lamp 5, the active trapping of pests is achieved.

[0028] Furthermore, the cover plate 4 adopts a trumpet-shaped structure that expands downward from the bottom, combined with multiple sets of through holes distributed in a ring array on the side, forming a unique aerodynamic trapping system. When pests approach the insect trapping trough 12 and the insect trapping lamp 5 under the action of the pesticide and the insect trapping lamp 5, the pests are guided to gather at the center of the bottom of the lamp plate 3. At the same time, the trumpet-shaped cover plate 4 that expands downward effectively expands the trapping range through its biomimetic funnel shape.

[0029] Furthermore, the suction device 8 uses an XGB-300W micro DC brushless centrifugal fan. When the suction device 8 is activated, as the pests gather at the bottom center of the lamp plate 3, it generates a stable negative pressure field in the air inside the cover plate 4, guiding the surrounding air to carry the pests together. Finally, the pests are collected in the insect collection tank 9 through the channel 2 and the duct. The insecticide inside the insect collection tank 9 directly kills the pests. Finally, the insect collection tank 9 can be opened through the side door to clean up the dead pests and replenish the insecticide, thus realizing a closed-loop treatment from active trapping to automatic elimination of pests.

[0030] Furthermore, the solar photovoltaic panel 10 transmits electrical energy to the storage box 11 for storage, and finally the storage box 11 provides power to the insect-attracting lamp 5 and the suction device 8, which improves the convenience of outdoor power use and achieves energy saving through automatic power supply.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Please see Figure 5 Furthermore, when arranging this device, the grower first automatically selects the placement position, and then slides the adjusting rod 64 according to the current height of the potato plant, allowing the adjusting rod 64 to slide on the outer surface of the rotating rod 63 to adjust the length between the adjusting rod 64 and the rotating rod 63. Finally, bolts are threaded through the fixing holes 65 on the sides of the adjusting rod 64 and the rotating rod 63 in sequence, and the bolts are locked with nuts to fix the adjusting rod 64 and the rotating rod 63. After the adjusting rods 64 and the rotating rods 63 in the four sets of support devices 6 are all fixed, the corresponding conical column 67 is driven into the ground through the corresponding positioning hole 66 to fix the adjusting rod 64. This achieves the effect of height adjustment of this device and increases the convenience and stability of the device's installation and use.

[0033] In use, the grower first selects a suitable location for installation. Then, based on the actual height of the potato plant, the adjusting rod 64 is slid along the outer surface of the rotating rod 63 to flexibly adjust its relative length with the rotating rod 63. After reaching the ideal height, bolts are passed through the fixing holes 65 on the sides of the adjusting rod 64 and the rotating rod 63, and nuts are used to firmly lock both ends, thus completing the stable fixation of the adjusting rod 64 and the rotating rod 63. After all four sets of support devices 6 have completed the above adjustment and fixing operations, the corresponding conical column 67 is precisely driven through the positioning hole 66 and deeply nailed into the soil to further ensure the stability of the adjusting rod 64. After entering the working state, a special insect attractant is placed into the insect trap 12. This agent will continuously release specific odor molecules, forming a precise directional chemical gradient field in the surrounding area, effectively stimulating the target pests in the potato field to produce a chemotactic response, prompting them to actively move towards the insect trap 12. At the same time, the trap is turned on at night. The insect lamp 5 utilizes the natural phototaxis of insects to attract them to the light source. Through the dual action of the insect-attracting agent and the insect lamp 5, it achieves highly efficient active trapping of pests. The cover plate 4 of the device adopts a trumpet-shaped design that gradually expands downward from the bottom. Combined with multiple sets of through holes distributed in a ring array on the side, it constructs a unique aerodynamic trapping system. When pests attracted by both the agent and the light gather towards the insect-attracting trough 12 and the light source, the trumpet-shaped cover plate 4 can effectively expand the trapping range. At this time, the suction device 8 forms a stable negative pressure environment inside the cover plate 4, guiding the air carrying the pests to the central area. The pests are then concentrated and guided into the insect collection trough 9 through the through trough 2 and the conduit. The insecticide pre-placed in the insect collection trough 9 can quickly kill the pests that fall into it, completing the extermination process. When maintenance is required, simply open the side door to easily clean the dead pests and replenish the insecticide, thus realizing a closed-loop management of the entire process from active trapping to automatic extermination.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
