Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an aphid overwintering monitoring device, specifically an apple aphid overwintering egg monitoring device, belonging to the field of aphid control technology. Background Technology

[0002] Aphids are among the most destructive pests on Earth, with approximately 250 species causing serious damage to agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. Aphids vary in size, ranging from one to ten millimeters in length. They have tubular protrusions on their abdomens and a pair of septa, which are used to expel a rapidly hardening defensive fluid composed of triglycerides. The septa are usually tubular, longer than wide, and thicker at the base. They suck plant sap and are major plant pests, not only hindering plant growth and forming galls and spreading viruses, but also causing deformities in flowers, leaves, and buds, preventing a range of crops, including apples, from growing normally.

[0003] Current aphid control methods primarily rely on visual inspection of apple tree buds and leaves in spring for aphids. If aphids are found, insecticides are then used to kill them. However, by this time, aphids have already begun to affect the growth of some apple trees, leading to untimely and inaccurate aphid control efforts, which ultimately reduces the overall yield and quality of apples. Therefore, this paper proposes a device for monitoring overwintering eggs of apple aphids. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a monitoring device for overwintering eggs of apple aphids to solve the problem that the control of apple tree aphids in the prior art is not timely and accurate enough.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a monitoring device for overwintering eggs of apple aphids, including a base plate, and a monitoring mechanism is provided above the base plate;

[0006] The monitoring mechanism includes a monitoring box, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of a base plate. A placement platform is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate and is located inside the monitoring box. A transparent plate is slidably connected inside the monitoring box, and a handle is fixedly connected to the front of the transparent plate. A microscope is located above the monitoring box, and the bottom of the microscope extends into the interior of the monitoring box. Two lighting lamps are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the monitoring box.

[0007] A temperature control component is installed above the base plate.

[0008] A reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the microscope, and the bottom surface of the reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the monitoring box.

[0009] The temperature control assembly includes an electric valve, the left end of which extends into the interior of the monitoring box. A ventilation duct is fixedly connected to the left side of the monitoring box. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation duct. Two mounting cylinders are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket. An exhaust fan is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two mounting cylinders. A humidifier is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. The mist outlet of the humidifier extends into the interior of the ventilation duct. A heating wire is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the monitoring box. A humidity sensor and a temperature sensor are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, respectively. The two exhaust fans, the electric valve, and the humidifier are all electrically connected to the humidity sensor via wires. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the heating wire via wires.

[0010] A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the humidifier, and a dust plug is snapped onto the top of the water inlet pipe.

[0011] Both of the fixed cylinders have baffles fixedly connected to their inner walls. Both baffles are located on the left side of the exhaust fan, and both baffles have air inlets arranged at equal intervals on their left side surfaces.

[0012] The bottom surface of the base plate is fixedly connected to four support legs, and each support leg is fixedly connected to a mounting plate at its bottom end.

[0013] This invention provides a device for monitoring overwintering eggs of apple aphids, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This apple aphid overwintering egg monitoring device, through a monitoring box and a placement platform, allows the overwintering eggs of apple aphids to be placed in the platform. The transparent plate and monitoring box protect the overwintering eggs inside the platform. The hatching status of the overwintering eggs inside the platform is observed periodically using a microscope, which can promptly determine whether aphids have hatched on the apple trees. Once the overwintering eggs inside the platform have hatched, insecticides can be sprayed to prevent aphid infestations on the apple trees in advance. This allows for more timely pest control of apple aphids, preventing excessive aphid reproduction on the apple trees and ensuring the overall yield and quality of the apples.

[0015] 2. This apple aphid overwintering egg monitoring device can simulate the external temperature and humidity inside the monitoring box through a temperature control component, thereby simulating the external environment indoors. This allows the apple aphid overwintering eggs inside the placement platform to hatch under the same external temperature and humidity, ensuring the synchronization of hatching between the aphids outside and the apple aphid overwintering eggs inside the placement platform, and further increasing the timeliness and accuracy of apple aphid control.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model embodiment provides a monitoring device for overwintering eggs of apple aphids, including a base plate 1 and a monitoring mechanism 2 disposed above the base plate 1;

[0027] The monitoring mechanism 2 includes a monitoring box 201. The bottom surface of the monitoring box 201 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A placement platform 202 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The placement platform 202 is located inside the monitoring box 201. A transparent plate 203 is slidably connected inside the monitoring box 201. A handle 204 is fixedly connected to the front of the transparent plate 203. A microscope 205 is located above the monitoring box 201. The bottom end of the microscope 205 extends into the interior of the monitoring box 201. Two lighting lamps 206 are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the monitoring box 201. A reinforcing ring 207 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the microscope 205. The bottom surface of the reinforcing ring 207 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the monitoring box 201. The reinforcing ring 207 can increase the connection between the microscope 205 and the monitoring box 201, prevent the microscope 205 from loosening, and improve the reliability of the microscope 205.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A temperature control component 3 is installed above the base plate 1. The temperature control component 3 includes an electric valve 301. The left end of the electric valve 301 extends into the interior of the monitoring box 201. A ventilation duct 302 is fixedly connected to the left side of the monitoring box 201. A fixing frame 303 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation duct 302. Two fixing cylinders 304 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 303. An exhaust fan 305 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two fixing cylinders 304. A humidifier 306 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The mist outlet of the device 306 extends into the interior of the ventilation duct 302. A heating wire 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the monitoring box 201. A humidity sensor 308 and a temperature sensor 309 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Two exhaust fans 305, an electric valve 301, and the humidifier 306 are all electrically connected to the humidity sensor 308 via wires. The temperature sensor 309 is electrically connected to the heating wire 307 via wires. The temperature sensor 309 allows staff to adjust the temperature according to the outside temperature. Temperature sensor 309 controls the temperature range. When the internal temperature of monitoring box 201 is too low, the heating wire 307 can be activated via a wire to increase the internal temperature of monitoring box 201, making it match the hatching temperature of apple aphids in the external environment. When the internal humidity of monitoring box 201 is low, humidity sensor 308 can control exhaust fan 305 and humidifier 306 to start working. The airflow provided by exhaust fan 305, in conjunction with fixed cylinder 304 and fixed frame 303, can blow the mist sent by humidifier 306 into ventilation cylinder 302 into monitoring box 201 for humidification. At the same time, electric valve 301 will also open to allow air to circulate smoothly inside monitoring box 201, thereby simulating the external environment indoors. This allows the overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside placement platform 202 to hatch at the same temperature and humidity as the outside environment, ensuring the synchronicity of hatching of aphids outside and overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside placement platform 202, further increasing the timeliness and accuracy of apple aphid control.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer surface of the humidifier 306 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 310. A dust plug 311 is snapped onto the top of the water inlet pipe 310. The water inlet pipe 310 allows the user to easily add water into the humidifier 306, and the dust plug 311 prevents external impurities from entering the humidifier 306.

[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 Both fixed cylinders 304 have baffles 312 fixedly connected to their inner walls. Both baffles 312 are located on the left side of the exhaust fan 305. Both baffles 312 have air inlets 313 arranged at equal intervals on their left side. The baffles 312 and the air inlets 313 can block larger impurities from the outside without affecting the air entering the fixed cylinder 304, thus preventing larger impurities from affecting the normal operation of the exhaust fan 305.

[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 Four support legs 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1. Each support leg 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting plate 5. The support legs 4 can be positioned to fix the device. The mounting plate 5, together with bolts and other tools, can fix the device, increasing the installation firmness of the device.

[0032] When using this utility model: First, connect the lighting lamp 206, electric valve 301, exhaust fan 305, humidifier 306, heating wire 307, humidity sensor 308 and temperature sensor 309 to the external power supply and controller. When it is necessary to monitor the overwintering eggs of apple aphids, first place the overwintering eggs of apple aphids on the placement platform 202, and then manually push the transparent plate 203 with the handle 204 to close the monitoring box 201, or open part of the transparent plate 203 according to the ventilation needs.

[0033] At this time, the overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside the placement platform 202 can be protected by the transparent plate 203 and the monitoring box 201. The hatching status of the overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside the placement platform 202 can be observed regularly by the microscope 205. It is possible to determine in time whether the aphids on the apple trees outside have hatched. After the overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside the placement platform 202 hatch, aphid pests on the apple trees can be prevented in advance by spraying insecticides and other measures. This allows for more timely pest control work on apple trees, preventing aphids from multiplying too much on the apple trees and ensuring the overall yield and quality of the apples.

[0034] Then, the temperature sensor 309 allows the staff to adjust the temperature range of the temperature sensor 309 according to the outside temperature. When the temperature inside the monitoring box 201 is too low, the temperature sensor 309 can start the heating wire 307 through the wire to increase the temperature inside the monitoring box 201 so that it meets the hatching temperature of apple tree aphids in the outside environment.

[0035] Finally, when the humidity inside the monitoring box 201 is low, the humidity sensor 308 can control the exhaust fan 305 and the humidifier 306 to start working. Using the wind power provided by the exhaust fan 305, in conjunction with the fixed cylinder 304 and the fixed bracket 303, the mist sent by the humidifier 306 into the ventilation cylinder 302 can be blown into the monitoring box 201 for humidification. At the same time, the electric valve 301 will also open, so that the air inside the monitoring box 201 can circulate smoothly. This simulates the external environment indoors, allowing the overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside the placement platform 202 to hatch at the same temperature and humidity as the outside world. This ensures the synchronicity of the hatching of aphids outside the environment and the overwintering eggs of apple aphids inside the placement platform 202, further increasing the timeliness and accuracy of apple aphid control.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
