Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of termite control technology, specifically to an intelligent monitoring and control device for termite control on tropical islands. Background Technology

[0002] Tropical islands, with their unique hot and humid climate, are typical breeding grounds for termites. Termites, highly destructive pests, not only cause irreversible damage to island structures, wooden facilities, crops, and vegetation, seriously threatening human safety and agricultural economic development, but also potentially disrupting the stability of island ecosystems and impacting biodiversity. Termite control on tropical islands is a necessary measure to ensure the long-term safe operation of island infrastructure, maintain the quality of life for residents, and protect the fragile island ecosystem. Especially in the context of globalization, with the booming development of island tourism and the marine economy, efficient and precise termite control is of significant practical importance for promoting sustainable island development. Currently, termite control on tropical islands faces many technical bottlenecks. Traditional control methods mainly rely on regular manual inspections and chemical spraying, which not only consumes a large amount of manpower and resources but also has limited monitoring coverage and insufficient real-time capability, making it difficult to achieve accurate early warning in the initial stages of termite infestation. Furthermore, the extensive use of chemical agents can easily lead to soil and water pollution, exacerbating the burden on the island's ecological environment, and long-term use of a single pesticide may cause termites to develop resistance, reducing the effectiveness of control. In addition, existing monitoring equipment has a low level of intelligence and lacks the ability to collect and comprehensively analyze environmental parameters (such as temperature and pest activity patterns) in real time, making it impossible to dynamically adjust control strategies based on termite activity patterns. Most control devices are designed with independent functions, with monitoring and control processes being isolated from each other. Furthermore, due to the harsh environment of islands (such as high salt spray and strong ultraviolet radiation), the equipment has insufficient battery life and high maintenance costs, making it difficult to meet the long-term and efficient termite control needs of tropical islands.

[0003] To address these issues, an intelligent monitoring and control device for termite control on tropical islands is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent monitoring and control device for termite control on tropical islands, which has the advantages of intelligent monitoring, precise control, energy saving and environmental protection, and adaptability to harsh environments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent monitoring and control device for termite control on tropical islands, comprising a lower shell and an upper shell installed on top of the lower shell, wherein a lithium battery and a plug-in assembly electrically connected to the lithium battery are installed inside the lower shell;

[0006] The upper housing is equipped with a sensing component. A hopper is located above the upper housing on one side of the sensing component. A feeding rack for feeding materials is located inside the upper housing below the hopper.

[0007] Preferably, the lower housing adopts a cylindrical structure design, and an insert cone is fixedly installed on the top of the lower housing.

[0008] The design incorporates a cylindrical lower casing with a fixed insert cone, enabling stable insertion and convenient installation of the device in the complex terrain of tropical islands. The cylindrical structure reduces wind resistance and the impact of external forces, while the insert cone can quickly penetrate the ground, enhancing the device's stability against harsh conditions such as typhoons and waves, and meeting the long-term outdoor use requirements of islands.

[0009] Preferably, a photovoltaic module is fixedly installed on the top of the upper housing. The photovoltaic module is electrically connected to the sensing module and other components used to drive the feeding rack. The photovoltaic module is also electrically connected to the lithium battery through a plug-in component.

[0010] In the design, photovoltaic modules are installed on the top of the upper casing and electrically connected to the sensing components, feeding rack components, and lithium batteries, realizing the device's solar self-powered operation and energy cycle management. The photovoltaic modules continuously generate electricity using the abundant sunlight of the tropical island, which charges the lithium batteries through the plug-in components and directly drives the electrical components. This solves the problem of traditional devices relying on external power sources or frequent battery replacements, significantly improving the equipment's endurance and energy-saving and environmentally friendly performance in environments without mains power.

[0011] Preferably, the plug-in assembly includes a socket, a sealing ring on the outside of the socket, the socket is welded to the lithium battery, a circuit control module is installed on the socket, and a plug is movably inserted into the socket.

[0012] The design incorporates a socket with a sealing ring, a welded circuit control module, and a movable plug structure, achieving waterproof electrical connection and modular assembly between the upper and lower housings. The sealing ring effectively prevents high salt spray and rainwater from entering the circuit, while the welded connection ensures stable conductivity between the lithium battery and the control module. The movable plug design supports quick assembly and disassembly of the upper and lower housings, satisfying both equipment maintenance convenience and enhancing electrical safety performance in humid and corrosive environments.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the plug facing away from the socket is fixedly connected to the upper housing, and the plug-in assembly consisting of the plug and the socket is used for splicing the upper housing and the lower housing.

[0014] In the design, the plug is fixedly connected to the upper housing, and the upper and lower housings are spliced ​​together through a plug-in assembly, realizing modular integration and rapid assembly of the device structure. The plug, as the power transmission interface of the upper housing, precisely mates with the socket of the lower housing, ensuring the circuit connectivity of the photovoltaic modules, lithium batteries, and electrical components. At the same time, the fixed connection method avoids poor contact caused by vibration during long-term use, improving the overall reliability and maintenance efficiency of the structure.

[0015] Preferably, the sensing components include a wide-angle camera module and a thermal sensor module.

[0016] In the design, the sensing components integrate a wide-angle camera module and a thermal sensor module, enabling multi-dimensional real-time monitoring of termite activity and environmental parameters. The wide-angle camera module covers a large monitoring area, capturing the behavioral patterns of termites such as gathering and feeding, while the thermal sensor module senses local temperature changes in real time, i.e., the heat generated by termite activity. The fusion of these two data points provides accurate information for intelligent prevention and control, solving the problems of high false negative rates and delayed early warnings associated with traditional single monitoring methods.

[0017] Preferably, the hopper is equipped with a feeding pipe for adding medicine, and a discharge chute is opened at the bottom of the hopper for the medicine in the hopper to fall onto the feeding rack.

[0018] The design incorporates a feeding pipe and a discharge chute, facilitating convenient pesticide replenishment and optimizing the application path. The feeding pipe allows for direct pesticide addition from the top of the device, eliminating the need for cumbersome disassembly and adapting to high-altitude operations on islands or maintenance needs in complex terrain. The discharge chute precisely positions the pesticide's descent path, ensuring smooth flow into the feeding rack, reducing residue and waste, and improving the utilization efficiency of pesticides.

[0019] Preferably, a micro motor is driven and installed on one side of the feeding rack. The micro motor is fixedly installed inside the upper shell on one side of the feeding rack. The upper shell on the front of the feeding rack adopts an open structure design and is equipped with a baffle through a spring hinge.

[0020] In the design, the feeding rack is equipped with a micro-motor drive structure and a spring-hinged baffle, realizing automated control and accidental contact protection for pesticide dispensing. The micro-motor precisely drives the feeding rack to rotate based on signals from the sensor components, quantitatively releasing the pesticide into the designated area, avoiding manual intervention and rough spraying; the spring-hinged baffle closes the opening when not dispensing, preventing rainwater and debris from entering the hopper and feeding mechanism, ensuring long-term stable operation of the device in high-humidity environments.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This invention achieves real-time collection of termite activity trajectories and environmental parameters, enabling intelligent dynamic monitoring by incorporating sensing components within the upper casing. This solves the problems of insufficient coverage and delayed early warning associated with traditional manual inspections.

[0023] This invention achieves precise placement of the pesticide via a discharge chute and a feeding rack through a linked structure, resulting in targeted and quantitative release of the pesticide by the feeding rack. This avoids the pollution and pesticide resistance risks caused by indiscriminate spraying of chemical pesticides, and improves the targeting of pest control operations. Furthermore, the invention utilizes an energy system comprised of a lithium battery and plug-in components within the lower casing. This system stores electrical energy and provides a stable power supply to the sensing components and feeding rack, reducing reliance on traditional external power sources and enabling long-term autonomous operation while minimizing energy consumption.

[0024] This utility model, through its separate structure of lower and upper shells and sealed design of plug-in components, effectively resists harsh environments such as high salt spray and high humidity in tropical islands, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of core components such as lithium batteries and sensing components.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is provided: a smart monitoring and control device for termite control on tropical islands, including a lower shell 2 and an upper shell 3 installed on the top of the lower shell 2. A lithium battery 21 and a plug-in assembly 22 electrically connected to the lithium battery 21 are installed inside the lower shell 2.

[0032] The upper housing 3 is equipped with a sensing component 31. A hopper 32 is located on the upper part of the upper housing 3 on one side of the sensing component 31. A feeding rack 33 for feeding materials is located in the upper housing 3 below the hopper 32.

[0033] Specifically, by setting up the sensing component 31 inside the upper shell 3, the system achieves real-time collection of termite activity trajectories and environmental parameters, realizing intelligent dynamic monitoring and solving the problems of insufficient coverage and delayed early warning in traditional manual inspections.

[0034] By setting up a linkage structure between the hopper 32 and the feeding rack 33, the pesticide is precisely positioned and placed along the delivery path via the discharge chute 322, and then released in a targeted and quantitative manner by the feeding rack 33. This avoids the pollution and pesticide resistance risks caused by the extensive spraying of chemical pesticides, and improves the targeting of pest control operations. This invention also utilizes an energy system composed of a lithium battery 21 and a connector 22 within the lower housing 2. This system stores electrical energy and provides a stable power supply to the sensing component 31 and the feeding rack 33, reducing reliance on traditional external power sources, enabling long-term autonomous operation of the device, and reducing energy consumption.

[0035] By setting up a split structure of the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 3 and a sealed design of the plug-in component 22, the system effectively resists the harsh environment of high salt spray and high humidity in tropical islands, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of core components such as lithium battery 21 and sensing component 31. Example

[0036] To achieve stable installation and environmental adaptability of the device in the complex terrain of tropical islands, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower housing 2 adopts a cylindrical structure design, and an insert cone 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the lower housing 2.

[0037] Specifically, the lower shell 2 adopts a cylindrical structure and is fixedly installed with the insertion cone 1, which enables the device to be stably inserted and easily installed in the complex terrain of tropical islands. The cylindrical structure reduces wind resistance and the impact of external forces, and the insertion cone 1 can quickly penetrate into the ground, enhancing the stability of the device against harsh conditions such as typhoons and waves, and meeting the long-term outdoor use needs of islands.

[0038] Furthermore, a photovoltaic module 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper housing 3. The photovoltaic module 4 is electrically connected to the sensing module 31 and other components used to drive the feeding rack 33. The photovoltaic module 4 is also electrically connected to the lithium battery 21 through the plug-in component 22.

[0039] Specifically, a photovoltaic module 4 is installed on the top of the upper casing 3 and electrically connected to the sensing module 31, the feeding rack 33, and the lithium battery 21, realizing the device's solar self-powered operation and energy cycle management. The photovoltaic module 4 continuously generates electricity using the abundant sunlight of the tropical island, which charges the lithium battery 21 via the plug-in module 22 and directly drives the electrical components. This solves the problem of traditional devices relying on external power sources or frequent battery replacements, significantly improving the equipment's endurance and energy-saving and environmentally friendly performance in environments without mains power.

[0040] Furthermore, the plug-in assembly 22 includes a socket 221, a sealing ring 224 on the outside of the socket 221, the socket 221 is welded to the lithium battery 21, a circuit control module 222 is installed on the socket 221, and a plug 223 is movably inserted into the socket 221.

[0041] Specifically, the plug-in assembly 22 adopts a structure consisting of a socket 221 with a sealing ring 224, a welded circuit control module 222, and a movable plug 223, achieving waterproof electrical connection and modular splicing between the upper and lower housings. The sealing ring 224 effectively prevents high salt spray and rainwater from entering the circuit, the welded connection ensures stable conductivity between the lithium battery 21 and the control module, and the movable plug 223 is designed to support quick disassembly and assembly of the upper and lower housings, satisfying both the convenience of equipment maintenance and enhancing electrical safety performance in humid and highly corrosive environments.

[0042] Furthermore, the end of the plug 223 facing away from the socket 221 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 3, and the plug assembly 22 formed by the plug 223 and the socket 221 is used for splicing the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 2.

[0043] Specifically, the plug 223 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 3, and the upper and lower housings are spliced ​​together through the plug-in assembly 22, realizing modular integration and rapid assembly of the device structure. The plug 223 serves as the power transmission interface of the upper housing 3, and precisely connects with the socket 221 of the lower housing 2 to ensure the circuit connectivity of the photovoltaic module 4, lithium battery 21, and electrical components. At the same time, the fixed connection method avoids poor contact caused by vibration during long-term use, improving the reliability and maintenance efficiency of the overall structure. Example

[0044] To achieve multi-dimensional real-time monitoring of termite activity and environmental parameters, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sensing component 31 includes a wide-angle camera module 311 and a thermal sensor module 312.

[0045] Specifically, the sensing component 31 integrates a wide-angle camera module 311 and a thermal sensor module 312, enabling multi-dimensional real-time monitoring of termite activity and environmental parameters. The wide-angle camera module 311 covers a large monitoring area, capturing the behavioral trajectories of termites such as gathering and feeding, while the thermal sensor module 312 senses local temperature changes in real time, i.e., the heat generated by termite activity. The fusion of these two data provides accurate information for intelligent prevention and control, solving the problems of high false negative rates and delayed early warnings associated with traditional single monitoring methods.

[0046] Furthermore, the hopper 32 is equipped with a feeding pipe 321 for adding medicine, and a discharge chute 322 is opened at the bottom of the hopper 32 for the medicine in the hopper 32 to fall onto the feeding rack 33.

[0047] Specifically, the hopper 32 is equipped with a feeding pipe 321 and a discharge chute 322, which facilitates the replenishment of pesticides and optimizes the delivery path. The feeding pipe 321 allows pesticides to be added directly from the top of the device, avoiding the cumbersome operation of disassembling the casing and adapting to the needs of high-altitude operations on islands or maintenance in complex terrains; the discharge chute 322 precisely positions the pesticide drop channel, ensuring that the pesticide falls smoothly into the feeding rack 33, reducing residue and waste, and improving the utilization efficiency of the pesticides.

[0048] Furthermore, a micro motor 331 is installed on one side of the feeding rack 33. The micro motor 331 is fixedly installed inside the upper housing 3 on one side of the feeding rack 33. The upper housing 3 on the front of the feeding rack 33 adopts an open structure design and is equipped with a baffle 5 through a spring hinge.

[0049] Specifically, the feeding rack 33 is equipped with a micro motor 331 drive structure and a spring hinge baffle 5, realizing automated control and accidental contact protection for pesticide dispensing. The micro motor 331, based on termite activity signals monitored by the sensing component 31 (i.e., aggregation behavior captured by the wide-angle camera module 311 and temperature anomalies sensed by the thermal sensor module 312), triggers a drive command through the circuit control module 222, precisely driving the feeding rack 33 to rotate around its axis. During rotation, the edge structure of the feeding rack 33 contacts the spring hinge baffle 5 and pushes the baffle 5 outward, forming a pesticide dispensing channel. This allows the pesticide falling from the hopper 32 through the discharge chute 322 to be released as the feeding rack 33 rotates to the open position, achieving precise dispensing of a fixed amount of pesticide to a designated area, avoiding manual intervention and indiscriminate spraying. In non-dispensing mode, the spring hinge drive baffle 5 automatically resets and closes the opening, preventing rainwater and debris from entering the hopper 32 and the dispensing mechanism.

[0050] In terms of control principle, the sensing component 31 is linked with the circuit control module 222. The closed-loop control of signal acquisition, processing and execution is realized through the power supply system of lithium battery 21 and photovoltaic module 4. This ensures that the feeding action is automatically triggered when termite activity is detected, and the device remains closed when there is no activity. This ensures the long-term stable operation of the device in a high-humidity environment, while improving the intelligence and accuracy of the prevention and control operation.

[0051] When this utility model is in use, the insert cone 1 at the top of the lower shell 2 is vertically inserted into the soil to the marking line, and the stable structure of the cylindrical lower shell 2 is used to resist external forces.

[0052] Connect the plug 223 at the bottom of the upper housing 3 to the socket 221 at the top of the lower housing 2, and complete the waterproof seal through the sealing ring 224.

[0053] The agent is injected into the hopper 32 through the feeding pipe 321 at the top of the upper shell 3, ensuring that the bottom chute 322 of the hopper 32 is unobstructed to connect to the feeding rack 33 below.

[0054] The photovoltaic module 4 charges the lithium battery 21 inside the lower housing 2, and activates the device through the circuit control module 222 connected to the module 22 to set the parameters of the sensing module 31.

[0055] The wide-angle camera module 311 captures images in real time, and the thermal sensor module 312 detects the temperature. The data is transmitted to the circuit control module 222 of the lower housing 2 via the plug-in component 22 for analysis.

[0056] After confirming termite activity, the circuit control module 222 drives the micro motor 331 inside the upper housing 3, causing the feeding rack 33 to flip and push open the spring hinge baffle 5, and the agent in the hopper 32 is released through the opening of the feeding chute 322.

[0057] The photovoltaic module 4 continuously charges the lithium battery 21 at a tilt angle of 15°. The lithium battery 21 is located in the lower compartment of the lower shell 2 and its range is ensured by a heat insulation layer.

[0058] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
