Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an insect infestation monitoring and packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] Insect monitoring and identification refers to the process of detecting, identifying, and analyzing the presence, species, and quantity of insects through various technologies and methods. This monitoring is commonly used in industries such as agriculture, forestry, food processing, and warehousing to prevent losses caused by insects and to take appropriate control measures.

[0003] In order to quickly and accurately monitor and identify insect infestations, people have developed image recognition technology to collect and analyze insect images. Specifically, devices such as those shown in CN110771585A and CN119817541A use image acquisition devices to count or further identify insects that fall onto a collection plane.

[0004] Meanwhile, these devices collect insects into a collection box after counting or identifying them for centralized processing, which leads to insect mixing and batch mixing. This causes great inconvenience for subsequent secondary verification or secondary checking of insects in a certain period of time. More specifically, the existing technology cannot achieve independent packaging of single batches of insects, making it impossible to link monitoring data during the verification.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an insect infestation monitoring and packaging device for monitoring insect infestations and packaging them for subsequent secondary verification or inspection. The insect infestation monitoring and packaging device includes an insect receiving platform 30, an image acquisition component 20, and a packaging component 40.

[0028] The insect-catching platform 30 includes a conveying device, which includes an upward-facing conveying surface. This conveying surface is a receiving surface 310 for receiving insects from upstream. In this embodiment, the conveying device is a conveyor belt 31 wrapped around a roller. When an insect falls onto the receiving surface 310, the conveyor belt 31 rotates, and the insect on the receiving surface 310 is conveyed downstream. The receiving surface 310 includes an end 311. In this embodiment, the end 311 is located at... Figure 2 As shown in the left direction, when the conveyor belt 31 moves from right to left, the insects located on the receiving surface 310 are gradually transported to the left end 311 and fall from the end 311 into the downstream packaging assembly 40.

[0029] Understandably, the conveying device also includes a drive roller 32 for driving the conveyor belt 31 to rotate. In order to make it easy to keep the receiving surface 310 in a flat state, the conveying device may also include a support device disposed on the lower side of the conveying surface.

[0030] The packaging component 40 is located downstream of the insect receiving platform 30 and includes a feeding cylinder for supplying film material, a longitudinal sealing component 42 for longitudinally sealing the film material to form a tube bag 51, and a transverse sealing component 43 for transversely sealing the tube bag 51 to form a package. The packaging component 40 includes an insect receiving port 4210 for conveying insects into the tube bag 51 through the insect receiving port 4210.

[0031] The feeding cylinder includes a first material cylinder 41, and the first film material 50 is wound on the first material cylinder 41 and released downstream from the first material cylinder 41. It can be understood that the first film material 50 can be various thin sheets suitable for forming a packaging body by welding or bonding. Specifically, it can be plastic film, paper, non-woven fabric, cloth, etc. More specifically, the plastic film material can be PE, PP, etc. In a specific embodiment, the first film material 50 is PE film.

[0032] The longitudinal sealing assembly 42 includes a cylindrical body 421 and a longitudinal sealing pressure roller 422. The cylindrical body 421 is generally cylindrical and arranged vertically with its central axis. The first film material 50 covers the outer surface of the cylindrical body 421 and forms an overlapping area 501. The longitudinal sealing pressure roller 422 is configured to apply pressure to the overlapping area 501 and cause the first film material 50 of the overlapping area 501 to form a bond. The bond means that the bonded materials form a whole. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the longitudinal sealing pressure roller 422 is a hot-pressing roller, used to heat-melt at least a portion of the first film material 50 of the overlapping area 501, thereby causing the first film material 50 of the overlapping surface to form a weld.

[0033] Understandably, the longitudinal sealing roller 422 combines the overlapping area 501 to form a cylindrical bag 51 from the first film material 50. At the same time, the width of the first film material 50 should be greater than the circumference of the outer surface of the cylindrical body 421, so that the overlapping area 501 is formed when the first film material 50 covers the outer surface of the cylindrical body 421. Preferably, the width of the overlapping area 501 is greater than 3 mm so that the longitudinal seal formed has sufficient strength.

[0034] Understandably, the upper side of the cylinder 421 includes an insect-receiving opening 4210, which corresponds to the end 311 and is used to receive insects output from the end 311. The cylinder 421 includes a hollow conveying channel, through which insects received from the insect-receiving opening 4210 are conveyed to the cylinder bag 51.

[0035] Furthermore, an insect collection box 44 is provided upstream of the insect inlet 4210. The insect collection box 44 is roughly funnel-shaped, including the upper end adjacent to the end 311 and the lower end adjacent to the insect inlet 4210. The size of the opening of the insect collection box 44 gradually decreases from the upper end to the lower end, so that insects can easily enter the insect inlet 4210 and the tube bag 51.

[0036] Downstream of the longitudinal sealing assembly 42, a transverse sealing assembly 43 is provided for sealing the tubular bag 51 laterally, thereby forming a complete packaging bag 52. Specifically, the transverse sealing assembly 43 includes a pair of transverse sealing pressure rollers, on which a transverse sealing pressure head is provided. The transverse sealing pressure head is configured to heat and pressurize the first film material 50 in the corresponding area to form a weld, thereby forming a transverse seal.

[0037] The image acquisition component 20 is disposed on the upper side of the receiving surface 310 and is used to acquire images of insects falling onto the receiving surface 310. Specifically, the image acquisition component 20 may include an image sensor and a magnifying lens to obtain fine images by using the magnifying lens. In addition, the image acquisition component 20 may also be provided with a displacement component to move to a predetermined position for image acquisition at the predetermined position. The displacement device may be a three-axis displacement device.

[0038] In addition, the insect monitoring and packaging device also includes an insect-attracting component 10 located on the upper side of the receiving surface 310. Specifically, the insect-attracting component 10 includes an insect-attracting lamp and an insect-killing device. The insect-killing device is an electric grid. The insect-attracting lamp is used to attract insects. The electric grid is configured to carry high voltage to kill insects that approach the grid. Understandably, the killed insects will fall onto the receiving surface 310. Alternatively, the insect-killing device can also be other feasible methods, such as spraying, which are not limited here.

[0039] Furthermore, the packaging component 40 also includes a marking component 45, used to form predetermined marks or identifiers on the packaging bag 52 to facilitate subsequent identification. Specifically, such as marking the printing time or batch on the packaging bag 52, or printing identification insects, to facilitate subsequent processing. Specifically, the marking component 45 can be a labeling device or a coding device, the identifier can be a label affixed to the packaging body, and the mark can be identifiable text, symbols, or graphics formed by ink spraying ink onto the packaging body by the coding device.

[0040] Please refer to this as well. Figures 4-7In the insect monitoring and packaging device provided in the second embodiment of this utility model, the conveying device is a swinging device. The swinging device includes a receiving plate 61, which is pivotally connected to the frame so that the receiving plate 61 can swing around a rotation axis, thereby tilting the upper surface of the receiving plate 61. This causes insects located on the upper surface of the receiving plate 61 to slide down the tilted upper surface under the action of gravity. It can be understood that the upper surface of the receiving plate 61 is the receiving surface 610.

[0041] Understandably, the conveying device also includes a motor 62 for driving the receiving plate 61 to swing. In this embodiment, the receiving plate 61 includes a head end 612 facing away from the end end 611. A connecting rod is provided between the motor 62 and the head end 612. When the motor 62 rotates, the connecting rod moves along with it and drives the head end 612 to move, thereby causing the receiving plate 61 to rotate around the rotation axis to form a swing.

[0042] Furthermore, the receiving plate 61 may also be equipped with a vibrator or airflow device to make it easier for insects on the receiving surface 610 to fall off.

[0043] In this embodiment, the feeding cylinder further includes a second material cylinder 712, on which the second film material 82 is wound and released downstream. Similarly, the second film material 82 can be various thin sheets suitable for forming a packaging body by welding or bonding. Specifically, it can be plastic film, paper, non-woven fabric, cloth, etc. More specifically, the plastic film material can be PE, PP, etc. In a specific embodiment, the second film material 82 is also a PE film. More preferably, the second film material 82 is made of the same material as the first film material 81.

[0044] Downstream of the first material cylinder 711, there is a first guide roller 713, and downstream of the second material cylinder 712, there is a second guide roller 714. The first film material 81 moves to the longitudinal sealing assembly 72 via the first guide roller 713, and the second film material 82 moves to the longitudinal sealing assembly 72 via the second guide roller 714. At the same time, the first film material 81 includes a first material segment 811 between the first guide roller 713 and the longitudinal sealing assembly 72, and the second film material 82 includes a second material segment 821 between the second guide roller 714 and the longitudinal sealing assembly 72. It can be understood that the first material segment 811 and the second material segment 821 are spaced apart and form an insect receiving opening 715 for receiving insects that slip off from the end 611.

[0045] Furthermore, the distance between the first material segment 811 and the second material segment 821 gradually increases from the top to the bottom, that is, the insect-receiving opening 715 formed by the first material segment 811 and the second material segment 821 is funnel-shaped, so as to more easily receive insects.

[0046] Furthermore, the second guide roller 714 is located outside the end 611, and the height of the second guide roller 714 in the vertical direction is greater than the height of the end 611 in the vertical direction, thereby preventing insects from falling outside the insect receiving opening 715, so that the insects can stably fall into the insect receiving opening 715. The outside refers to the direction away from the end 611. Meanwhile, the first guide roller 713 is located inside the end 611.

[0047] Furthermore, the height of the first guide roller 713 in the vertical direction is less than the height of the end 611 in the vertical direction.

[0048] Furthermore, the longitudinal sealing assembly 72 includes a first longitudinal sealing roller 731 and a second longitudinal sealing roller 732 arranged adjacent to each other and having a gap. When the first film material 81 and the second film material 82 pass through the gap between the first longitudinal sealing roller 731 and the second longitudinal sealing roller 732, the first longitudinal sealing roller 731 and the second longitudinal sealing roller 732 form a combination at a predetermined position, so that the first film material 81 and the second film material 82 form a tube bag. It can be understood that the predetermined position is the position of the first film material 81 and the second film material 82 near the side edge, that is, after the two opposite side edges of the first film material 81 and the second film material 82 are combined, the two sides of the tube bag formed are in a combined form, and the middle area forms an accommodating space 801.

[0049] The first longitudinal sealing roller 731 includes a pair of spaced-apart first longitudinal sealing roller bodies 7311 and a first connecting cylinder 7312 connecting the pair of first longitudinal sealing roller bodies 7311. The first connecting cylinder 7312 includes a side wall and an inner cavity 7314 enclosed by the side wall. The side wall includes a through hole 7313 that extends through the thickness of the side wall, through which the inner cavity 7314 is connected to the outside. The inner cavity 7314 is in a negative pressure state, which is used to fix the position of the film material by negative pressure adsorption to prevent the film material from shifting when insects enter. It can be understood that the first longitudinal sealing roller bodies 7311 and the first connecting cylinder 7312 are coaxially arranged.

[0050] Understandably, the second longitudinal sealing roller 732 also includes a pair of spaced-apart second longitudinal sealing roller bodies 7321 and a second connecting cylinder 7322 connecting the pair of longitudinal sealing roller bodies. A first gap space 7301 is included between the first longitudinal sealing roller body 7311 and the second longitudinal sealing roller body 7321, and a second gap space 7302 is included between the first connecting cylinder 7312 and the second connecting cylinder 7322. When the first film material 81 and the second film material 82 pass through the first gap space 7301 and the second gap space 7302, the first longitudinal sealing roller body 7311 and the second longitudinal sealing roller body 7321 apply pressure to the first film material 81 and the second film material 82 in the first gap space 7301 and make them bond together, thereby forming a longitudinal seal. At the same time, in the area passing through the second gap space 7302, they remain attached to the connecting cylinder, forming a receiving space 801, which facilitates insects to enter and remain in the receiving space 801, thereby completing the packaging.

[0051] Furthermore, the inner cavity 7314 also includes an inner cylinder 7315, which includes an opening 7316 facing the second spacer space 7302, so that the first membrane material 81 is attached only in the area corresponding to the opening 7316.

[0052] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
