[0035] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The mosquito trap includes a housing 100, a reaction chamber 200, a feeding assembly 300, and a mosquito suction assembly 400. The mosquito suction assembly 400 is located in front of the reaction chamber 200, which is situated within the housing 100. The upper end of the reaction chamber 200 has a feeding port 201. The chamber wall of the reaction chamber 200 is constructed of a water-resistant and breathable membrane 210. The inner cavity of the reaction chamber 200 can accommodate a microbial layer for generating carbon dioxide, located at the bottom of the inner cavity. The water-resistant and breathable membrane 210 is used for gas exchange. The feeding assembly 300 is located within the housing 100 and is used to supply material to the feeding port 201. The mosquito suction assembly 400 is also located within the housing 100 and includes a mosquito storage box 410 and an exhaust fan 420. The exhaust fan 420 is located at the opening of the mosquito storage box 410 and is used to draw mosquitoes into the mosquito storage box 410.

[0038] Understandably, the feeding component 300 transports materials and feeds them into the reaction chamber 200 through the feeding port 201. Microorganisms react with the water and materials in the reaction chamber 200 to generate carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is released to the outside through the water-proof and breathable membrane 210, attracting mosquitoes. Meanwhile, oxygen from the outside enters the reaction chamber 200 through the water-proof and breathable membrane 210, replenishing the oxygen supply and allowing the microorganisms to continuously generate carbon dioxide within the reaction chamber 200. The exhaust fan 420 draws the attracted mosquitoes into the mosquito storage box 410. The mosquitoes are unable to escape from the mosquito storage box 410 due to the air pressure and the obstruction of the exhaust fan 420, thus achieving the effect of mosquito control.

[0039] It should be noted that the material of the water-proof and breathable membrane 210 is a polymer material such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, or polypropylene. A microporous structure is formed through a stretching process, preventing liquid water from penetrating the membrane 210 due to surface tension. The membrane 210 effectively blocks liquid water while allowing gas exchange.

[0040] The microbial layer contains multiple microorganisms capable of producing carbon dioxide. These microorganisms are aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas, which can decompose organic matter (such as sugars and fats) to produce carbon dioxide and water; alternatively, the microorganisms are yeasts, which are suitable for sugar fermentation; or, a mixed microbial community can be used to improve reaction efficiency.

[0041] The materials are sugars, such as glucose, sucrose, and white sugar. The materials are inexpensive and readily available.

[0042] This mosquito trap has a simple structure. It generates carbon dioxide and water, which enhances its effectiveness in trapping mosquitoes, eliminating the need for chemical agents and thus avoiding environmental pollution. Furthermore, compared to DAC (Direct Carbon Capture) technology, while this technology requires a carbon source, it does not require continuous high-temperature heating, has a relatively simple structure, and lower operating and manufacturing costs. Additionally, the reaction chamber 200 is detachably connected to the housing 100, allowing for independent disassembly and maintenance, resulting in low maintenance costs.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding assembly 300 includes a hopper 310, a drive motor 320, and a feeding screw 330. The discharge end of the hopper 310 is connected to the feed end of the feeding screw 330, and the discharge end of the feeding screw 330 is connected to the feeding port 201. The drive end of the drive motor 320 is connected to the feeding screw 330. The hopper 310 is used to temporarily store materials. The drive motor 320 controls the rotation of the feeding screw 330 to feed materials into the feeding port 201. The amount of material fed can be controlled through intelligent control. Preferably, the drive end of the drive motor 320 and one end of the feeding screw 330 are fixedly connected by a coupling. Alternatively, the drive end of the drive motor 320 is provided with a driving gear, and one end of the feeding screw 330 is provided with a driven gear. The driving gear and the driven gear mesh, and the drive motor 320 drives the driving gear to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear and the feeding screw 330 to rotate.

[0044] Preferred, refer to Figure 2The housing 100 includes a base 140 and a top cover 150. The mosquito storage box 410 is detachably connected to the base 140 for easy cleaning. The top cover 150 is detachably connected to the hopper 310. The top cover 150 is used to seal the upper port of the hopper 310 to prevent external impurities from contaminating the material inside the hopper 310. When it is necessary to add material, the top cover 150 is removed from the hopper 310, and material can be added into the hopper 310 through the upper port.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The reaction chamber 200 is equipped with a filter membrane 220, which is horizontally positioned. The reaction chamber 200 has a liquid surface, which is higher than the filter membrane 220. The filter membrane 220 supports the material, which is situated on the filter membrane 220 and immersed in water. The material gradually dissolves and diffuses downwards through the filter membrane 220 due to the concentration gradient, with higher concentrations diffusing to lower concentrations. Furthermore, the filter membrane 220 prevents external microorganisms from penetrating deeper into the reaction chamber 200.

[0046] Preferably, the filter membrane 220 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and is a 0.22μm microporous filter membrane 220, which can effectively intercept the vast majority of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The reaction chamber 200 is equipped with a diffusion tube 230. The axis of the diffusion tube 230 is in the up-down direction. The diffusion tube 230 is located below the filter membrane 220. The inner diameter of the diffusion tube 230 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0048] Understandably, the dissolved material enters the diffuser tube 230 through the filter membrane 220, and continuously diffuses downwards under the guidance of the diffuser tube 230, being diluted to prevent the high concentration of liquid from causing microbial death. Microorganisms accumulate at the bottom of the reaction chamber 200 under the influence of gravity. The dissolved material continuously diffuses from top to bottom to reach the bottom of the reaction chamber 200 and reacts with the microorganisms, generating carbon dioxide and consuming oxygen within the reaction chamber 200. Due to the concentration gradient, the carbon dioxide accumulated in the water of the reaction chamber 200 is discharged through the water-proof and breathable membrane 210, while external oxygen is replenished into the water of the reaction chamber 200 through the water-proof and breathable membrane 210, allowing the microorganisms to continuously thrive.

[0049] Preferred, refer to Figures 2 to 4The reaction chamber 200 is equipped with an overflow port 240, located below the feed port 201 and above the filter membrane 220. Understandably, water is generated during the microbial reaction, causing the water level in the reaction chamber 200 to gradually rise and be discharged through the overflow port 240. Since the overflow port 240 is higher than the filter membrane 220, water spreads upwards through the filter membrane 220 and is discharged. The filter membrane 220 can prevent the microorganisms in the reaction chamber 200 from being discharged, thus preventing the microorganisms from spreading to the outside.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 100 includes a cover 110, and a reaction chamber 200 is disposed inside the cover 110. An air duct 120 is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the reaction chamber 200 and the inner peripheral wall of the cover 110. The rear side wall of the mosquito storage box 410 is provided with a first through hole 430, which communicates with the air duct 120. The side wall of the cover 110 is provided with a second through hole 111, and an overflow port 240 is located above the second through hole 111. Liquid in the reaction chamber 200 can be discharged sequentially through the overflow port 240 and the second through hole 111.

[0051] Understandably, the exhaust fan 420 draws mosquitoes into the mosquito storage box 410. Outside air enters the air duct 120 through the first through-hole 430, carrying carbon dioxide through the second through-hole 111. Oxygen in the air can enter the reaction chamber 200 through the water-proof and breathable membrane 210, thus replenishing oxygen and accelerating the exchange efficiency between carbon dioxide inside the reaction chamber 200 and oxygen from the outside. Liquid overflowing from the reaction chamber 200 exits the reaction chamber 200 and the cover 110 sequentially through the overflow port 240 and the second through-hole 111, reaching the outside and evaporating.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper end of the reaction chamber 200 is provided with a feeding pipe 250, the upper end of which is a feeding port 201. The upper end of the feeding pipe 250 is connected to the feeding screw 330. The upper end of the feeding pipe 250 is higher than the upper surface of the reaction chamber 200, and the lower end of the feeding pipe 250 is inserted into the reaction chamber 200. The upper surface of the reaction chamber 200 is provided with an overflow pipe 260, the outlet of which is an overflow port 240.

[0053] Preferred, refer to Figure 3The enclosure 110 is equipped with a guide plate 130. One side of the guide plate 130 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the enclosure 110, and the other side of the guide plate 130 is located below the overflow pipe 260. The side of the guide plate 130 connected to the inner peripheral wall of the enclosure 110 is lower than the other side of the guide plate 130, and the side of the guide plate 130 connected to the inner peripheral wall of the enclosure 110 is inclined upward from the other side, that is, the guide plate 130 is inclined downward from back to front. The guide plate 130 is used to receive liquid from the overflow pipe 260 and discharge it through the second through hole 111. The liquid flowing out of the overflow pipe 260 flows forward and falls on the guide plate 130, which then guides the liquid to flow forward and discharge it through the second through hole 111.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mosquito-attracting component 400 also includes a light guide lamp 440, which is an ultraviolet lamp. The light guide lamp 440 can attract mosquitoes. The light guide lamp 440 is installed in the housing 100, and the light source of the light guide lamp 440 faces the exhaust fan 420, that is, the light guide lamp 440 faces backward, which facilitates attracting mosquitoes so that they are drawn into the mosquito storage box 410 by the exhaust fan 420. Moreover, since some of the liquid overflowing from the reaction chamber 200 through the second through hole 111 flows onto the exhaust fan 420, under the multiple attraction of moisture, carbon dioxide, heat (heat from microbial fermentation and LED lamps), and ultraviolet LED lamps (360-400nm wavelength), when mosquitoes pass above the exhaust fan 420, they are sucked into the mosquito storage box 410 and continuously dried, thus achieving the mosquito-attracting effect.
