Detailed Implementation

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model proposes a smart termite monitoring and extermination device, including a cylindrical shell 11 and a base plate 12 connected to the bottom of the shell 11. Fixing holes are evenly opened on the edge of the base plate 12, and locking nails 13 are provided in the fixing holes. Ventilation holes 15 are evenly arranged on the side wall of the shell 11. A connecting cover 14 is detachably connected to the top of the shell 11. A power supply 16, a camera 17 and an insect-attracting box 19 are integrated at the bottom of the connecting cover 14. The insect-attracting box 19 contains termite-attracting material.

[0022] According to the area to be monitored, detection devices 1 are installed at key locations in the area. Each detection device 1 is numbered, and on-site monitoring stations are installed in the area. The on-site monitoring stations are used to receive photos taken by the detection devices 1, group the received photos according to the detection device 1 numbers, upload the photos to the cloud, and use the central server in the cloud to perform AI recognition on the photos to determine whether there are termites in the photos, and send the termite photos to the user terminal.

[0023] By placing the detection device 1 in a set position, the insect-attracting material in the insect-attracting box 19 emits an odor, which is then released through the ventilation hole 15. The ventilation hole 15 is only wide enough for termites to pass through, so that termites around the detection device 1 can be attracted to the inside of the shell 11. The camera 17 periodically takes pictures of the inside of the shell 11.

[0024] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the detection device 1 is designed to attract insects. The detection device 1 includes a cylindrical shell 11 and a base plate 12 connected to the bottom of the shell 11. The base plate 12 has evenly spaced fixing holes along its edges, each containing a locking pin 13. Ventilation holes 15 are evenly distributed on the side walls of the shell 11. A connecting cover 14 is detachably connected to the top of the shell 11. The bottom of the connecting cover 14 integrates a power supply 16, a camera 17, and an insect-attracting box 19, which contains termite-attracting material. By placing the detection device 1 in a designated location, the insect-attracting material in the insect-attracting box 19 emits an odor that passes through the ventilation holes 15, which are only wide enough for termites to pass through. This attracts termites around the detection device 1 into the interior of the shell 11. The camera 17 periodically takes pictures of the interior of the shell 11.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the replacement of consumables inside the housing 11, the connecting cover 14 is threadedly connected to the top of the housing 11. A mounting shell is fixed to the bottom of the connecting cover 14, the power supply 16 is built into the mounting shell, the camera 17 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the mounting shell, and the insect-attracting box 19 is suspended directly below the camera 17. By unscrewing the connecting cover 14, the connecting cover 14 and the insect-attracting box 19 can be removed from the housing 11, after which the insect-attracting materials in the insect-attracting box 19 and the depleted power supply 16 can be replaced.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown. The insect-attracting box 19 is cylindrical, with a screen 191 on its side wall and a pressure cap 192 on its top. The top of the insect-attracting box 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting shell via a vertically arranged hanging rod 18. By suspending the insect-attracting box 19 below the camera 17, the insect-attracting box 19 is located in the center of the shell 11, allowing for even diffusion of the odor. Furthermore, except for the frame, which is made of wire, the rest of the insect-attracting box 19 is wrapped with screen 191, minimizing obstruction of the camera 17's image capture. The bottom of the insect-attracting box 19 is also arranged with screen 191. When the connecting cover 14 is removed, the insect-attracting box 19 can be directly taken out for staff to replenish the insect-attracting material.

[0027] The number of hanging rods 18 can be increased or decreased according to the weight of the insect-attracting material that can be held in the insect-attracting box 19. Reducing the number of hanging rods 18 can reduce the obstruction of the camera 17, while increasing the number of hanging rods 18 can improve the stability of the insect-attracting box 19.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown. The insect-attracting box 19 is located on the axis of the housing 11, and the insect-attracting box 19 is positioned directly opposite the vent 15. By placing the insect-attracting box 19 at the center of the housing 11, the odor of the insect-attracting box 19 can be fully dispersed through the vent 15; in addition, the height of the vent 15 is appropriately increased to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the housing 11 in the event of rain or water accumulation, thus preventing the leakage of the ant-killing agent and avoiding environmental pollution.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown. The locking pin 13 includes a steel needle end 131 at the bottom, a spiral section 132 in the middle and a triangular gripping head 133 at the top. The locking pin 13 is a one-piece wire structure. A baffle 134 is fitted between the spiral section 132 and the gripping head 133. The outer diameter of the baffle 134 is larger than the inner diameter of the fixing hole.

[0030] The locking nail 13 is made entirely from a single piece of iron wire. It is bent at the top to form a triangular gripping head 133, and bent in the middle to form a spiral segment 132. During installation, the gripping head 133 is held in hand, and the steel needle end 131 is inserted into the soil. By rotating the locking nail 13, the spiral segment 132 is screwed into the soil. Finally, the baffle 134 is used to press the base plate 12 to fix the detection device 1.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown. A connecting bucket 111 is installed at the bottom of the housing 11. A receiving bottle 112 is connected to the bottom of the connecting bucket 111. The receiving bottle 112 contains termite-killing liquid. The opening of the receiving bottle 112 is located inside the connecting bucket 111, and foam 113 is placed at the opening of the receiving bottle 112. The foam 113 is placed at the opening of the receiving bottle 112, and the termite-killing liquid wets the foam 113. When termites enter the housing 11 and then into the connecting bucket 111, they will be poisoned upon contact with the foam 113 containing the termite-killing liquid.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown. A cotton thread 114 is disposed within the foam 113. The bottom end of the cotton thread 114 is located inside the receiving bottle 112, and the top end of the cotton thread 114 is embedded within the foam 113, with the top end of the cotton thread 114 looped around the edge of the foam 113. The cotton thread 114 automatically replenishes the ant-killing solution in the receiving bottle 112 into the foam 113, ensuring the foam 113 remains moist.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, to enable the uploading of photos by the detection device 1, an antenna 141 is provided on the top of the connecting cover 14.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, to prevent rainwater from entering the housing 11 through the vent 15 and causing the ant-killing solution to overflow from the housing 11, a rainproof ring is provided on the top of the housing 11.

[0035] The method of using the ant extermination device is as follows: S1. According to the selected monitoring area on the map, place the detection device 1 at a monitoring location in the monitoring area, arrange a group of detection devices 1 at intervals, and install a field monitoring station in the middle area to establish a remote signal connection between the detection device 1 and the field monitoring station.

[0036] S2. When fixing the detection device 1, place the housing 11 at the monitoring location, pass the locking pin 13 through the fixing hole, and rotate the locking pin 13 so that the top of the locking pin 13 presses against the top of the base plate 12.

[0037] S3. By unscrewing the connecting cover 14, remove the connecting cover 14 and the insect-attracting box 19 below it from the shell 11. Remove the foam 113 on the container bottle 112, inject the ant-killing liquid into the container bottle 112, then cover the foam 113, and ensure that the bottom end of the cotton rope 114 in the foam 113 is soaked in the ant-killing liquid.

[0038] S4. Open the pressure cap 192, place the insect attractant material inside the insect attractant box 19, then close the pressure cap 192 and put the connecting cap 14 back into the housing 11.

[0039] S5 and camera 17 are powered by power supply 16 and periodically take pictures of the inner bottom of insect trap 19 and shell 11. The pictures are remotely transmitted to the on-site monitoring station. The on-site monitoring station groups the pictures according to the number of each detection device 1 and uploads the pictures to the cloud. The remote central server identifies all the pictures and sends the pictures of detected termites to the user terminal.
