Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flight barrier devices, specifically a solar-powered flight barrier device. Background Technology

[0002] In entomological research and biodiversity monitoring, the efficient collection of flying insect specimens is a crucial aspect of basic research. Setting up flight barriers in the field blocks insects from flying, causing them to fall into collection tanks. These tanks contain liquids such as alcohol to ensure the collected insects die quickly and do not decompose. Traditional flight barriers primarily collect insects through physical interception or chemical trapping, but they have the following limitations: High energy dependence: Most insect-trapping devices rely on mains power or require frequent battery replacements, making continuous operation difficult in areas without power. Narrow trapping spectrum: Ordinary ultraviolet or incandescent lamps are only effective for specific phototactic insects, failing to cover the complex phototactic needs of multiple insect groups, including Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Low collection efficiency: Insects accumulate in the collection tank, requiring frequent manual cleaning, and the evaporation or contamination of the soaking solution affects the quality of specimen preservation.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solar-powered flying barrier that is easy to deploy in areas without power in the wild and can improve the efficiency of insect capture. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a solar-powered flying barrier that integrates photovoltaic power generation, intelligent light control, and an automatic transmission system to achieve all-weather, multi-target, and highly efficient insect collection. This solves the technical problems of traditional flying barriers, such as high energy dependence, narrow trapping range, and low collection efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a solar-powered flight barrier, which includes a ridge-type solar panel top cover. The ridge-type solar panel top cover has downward-hanging connecting strips on both sides below the bottom. A collection groove is provided between the bottoms of the two connecting strips, and the collection groove is filled with soaking liquid. A transparent barrier curtain is installed between the two connecting strips.

[0007] It also includes a pair of uprights for fixing the ridge-type solar panel top cover and the collection trough; an insect-attracting lamp is installed at the bottom of the ridge-type solar panel top cover, and a controller and a light intensity sensor are also installed at the bottom of the ridge-type solar panel top cover. The insect-attracting lamp is electrically connected to the ridge-type solar panel top cover via a photoelectric converter, and the light intensity sensor is connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the insect-attracting lamp.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a partition plate is provided in the middle of the inner cavity of the collection tank, which divides the inner cavity of the collection tank into two receiving cavities arranged in front and behind and distributed on both sides of the barrier curtain.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, each of the aforementioned accommodating cavities is provided with a sliding insect plate at both ends that is inclined toward the interior of the accommodating cavity.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the worm board is hinged to the collection groove via a hinge member, and the inside of the collection groove is provided with a support block for supporting the free end of the worm board.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This solar-powered flight barrier utilizes a roof-shaped solar panel top cover to achieve efficient photoelectric conversion of solar energy, powering the insect-attracting lamp. This allows the lamp to operate continuously day and night. In conjunction with a light intensity sensor, the lamp's power is intelligently adjusted. The lamp uses a multi-band composite LED light source, significantly improving the capture efficiency of phototactic insects, especially increasing the capture rate of lepidopteran insects and other phototactic insects.

[0013] 2. The solar-powered flight barrier of the present invention has insect-sliding plates at both ends of each of the aforementioned receiving cavities, which are inclined towards the interior of the receiving cavity. The function of the insect-sliding plates is twofold: first, to allow the insects to slide down and fall into the receiving cavity; and second, to prevent the insects from escaping. In addition, they can also block some fallen leaves. Furthermore, one end of the insect-sliding plate is hinged to a collection groove via a hinged connector. The inside of the collection groove is provided with a support block for supporting the free end of the insect-sliding plate, which facilitates the opening of the insect-sliding plate and the cleaning of the insects in the receiving cavity.

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a solar-powered flight barrier, which includes a ridge-type solar panel top cover 1. The ridge-type solar panel top cover 1 has downward-hanging connecting straps 2 on both sides below it, and a collection groove 3 is provided between the bottoms of the two connecting straps 2. The collection groove 3 is filled with soaking liquid, and a transparent barrier curtain 4 is installed between the two connecting straps 2.

[0027] It also includes a pair of uprights 5, with a piercing end 6 at the bottom of each upright 5 that inserts into the soil. The two sides of the ridge-type solar panel cover 1 are fixed to the uprights 5 via ropes 7, and the two ends of the collection trough 3 are also fixed to the uprights 5 via ropes 7. The ridge-type solar panel cover 1 is equipped with an insect-attracting lamp 8. A controller 9 and a light intensity sensor 10 are also installed at the bottom of the ridge-type solar panel cover 1. The insect-attracting lamp 8 is electrically connected to the ridge-type solar panel cover 1 via a photoelectric converter, and the light intensity sensor 10 is electrically connected to the controller 9. The controller 9 is electrically connected to the insect-attracting lamp 8 for intelligent adjustment of the lamp's power, such as... Figure 9 As shown. Specifically, the light intensity sensor 10 monitors the ambient light intensity in real time, and the controller 9 adjusts the LED drive current according to the ambient light intensity to control the brightness of the insect-attracting lamp 8. The insect-attracting lamp uses a multi-band composite LED light source containing 365nm ultraviolet, 450nm blue light, and 590nm yellow light, thus enabling spectral programming targeting the phototactic characteristics of different insects, significantly increasing the number of insects captured compared to traditional equipment. A ridge-type solar panel cover 1 enables efficient photoelectric conversion, facilitating power supply to the insect-attracting lamp 8 when light is insufficient. The insect-attracting lamp 8 emits 365nm ultraviolet, 450nm blue light, and 590nm yellow light, utilizing the phototactic characteristics of different insects to attract them. The multi-band composite LED light source of the insect-attracting lamp 8 can attract more types of insects to the flight barrier, obtaining more specimens and improving insect capture efficiency. The ridge-type structure combined with the piercing pole design improves the stability of the device and facilitates rapid deployment in various terrains.

[0028] The inner cavity of the collection trough 3 is divided into two receiving chambers by a partition plate 25, which is arranged front to back and distributed on both sides of the barrier curtain 4. Each receiving chamber has a sliding insect plate 23 at both ends, which is inclined towards the inside of the receiving chamber. One end of the sliding insect plate 23 is hinged to the collection trough 3 via a hinge. The inside of the collection trough 3 is provided with a support block 24 for supporting the free end of the sliding insect plate 23. The sliding insect plate at both ends of each receiving chamber is inclined towards the inside of the receiving chamber. The function of the sliding insect plate is twofold: first, to allow the insects to slide down and fall into the receiving chamber; and second, to prevent the insects from escaping. In addition, it can also block some fallen leaves. Furthermore, one end of the sliding insect plate is hinged to the collection trough 3 via a hinge. The inside of the collection trough 3 is provided with a support block for supporting the free end of the sliding insect plate, which makes it easy to open the sliding insect plate and clean the insects in the receiving chamber. The surface of the sliding insect plate 23 is a smooth mirror surface, which facilitates the sliding of insects.

[0029] Example 2: The technical features that distinguish this example from the previous examples are as follows: Figure 4-6As shown, the collection trough 3 is provided with collection chambers 11 on both sides for collecting insects. The collection trough 3 is also provided with a conveying mechanism 12 that pushes the insects in the collection trough 3 into the collection chambers 11. The conveying mechanism 12 includes a reciprocating screw 15 and a guide rod 16 arranged in the length direction of the collection trough 3 and located at the bottom of the barrier curtain 4. The reciprocating screw 15 is provided with a moving block 17 that reciprocates along the reciprocating screw 15, and the guide rod 16 is provided with a moving block 18 that moves along the guide rod 16. The moving block 18 and the moving block 17 are connected by a fixing frame 19. The bottom of the fixing frame 19 is provided with a comb frame 20 that moves along the inner cavity of the collection trough 3. The outer wall of the collection trough 3 is provided with a drive motor 22 that drives the reciprocating screw 15. The drive motor 22 is connected to the controller 9. This invention, through the design of a comb frame-reciprocating screw linkage mechanism, enables directional transport of insects. Combined with the guide plate clearance groove design, it improves the efficiency of single-batch transport and avoids contamination of the soaking solution caused by specimen accumulation.

[0030] The collection chamber 11 has a baffle 13 on one side, and a guide plate 14 inclined towards the inner cavity of the collection trough 3 on the top of the baffle 13. The guide plate 14 has a clearance groove 21 that cooperates with the comb frame 20. The entire device is installed by a pole. The collection trough 3 has collection chambers 11 on both sides for collecting insects. The collection trough 3 also has a conveying mechanism 12 that pushes the insects in the collection trough 3 into the collection chamber 11. The drive motor drives the reciprocating screw 15 to drive the moving block 17 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the comb frame to reciprocate along the collection trough 3. The baffle 13 on one side of the collection chamber 11 and the guide plate 14 inclined towards the inner cavity of the collection trough 3 on the top of the baffle 13 have clearance grooves that cooperate with the comb frame. This facilitates the collection of insects in the collection trough 3 into the collection chamber 11 for centralized collection.

[0031] The drive motor 22 is electrically connected to the photoelectric converter, and the drive motor 22 is powered by the roof-type solar panel cover 1.

[0032] During operation, this solar-powered flight barrier works by blocking or colliding with flying insects in the natural environment during the day, causing them to fall into the collection tank. The roof-type solar panel cover 1 generates electricity using solar energy, which powers the insect-attracting lamp 8 at night. The lamp emits a light source with a specific spectrum, attracting insects with specific phototaxis. This phototaxis allows for the capture of a wider variety of insects, resulting in more specimens. The collection tank 3 also features collection chambers 1 on both sides for collecting the insects. 1. The collection trough 3 is also provided with a conveying mechanism 12 that pushes the collection trough 3 into the collection cavity 11. The conveying mechanism 12 is driven by a drive motor to drive the reciprocating screw 15 to drive the moving block 17 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the comb frame to reciprocate along the collection trough 3. A baffle 13 is provided on one side of the collection cavity 11. The top of the baffle 13 is provided with a guide plate 14 that is inclined toward the inner cavity of the collection trough 3. The guide plate 14 is provided with a clearance groove that cooperates with the comb frame. This facilitates the feeding of insects in the collection trough 3 into the collection cavity 11 for centralized collection, and facilitates the final removal of the collected insect specimens.

[0033] Example 3: The technical features that distinguish this example from Example 1 are as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the collection tank 3 is also equipped with a storage tank 26 for storing the soaking solution. The storage tank 26 integrates a liquid supply pump circuit 27, and the side wall of the collection tank 3 is provided with a liquid inlet 28 connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid supply pump circuit 27. This allows a certain amount of soaking solution to be injected into the collection tank 3 at regular intervals, ensuring that the collection tank 3 always contains soaking solution. The quantitative addition of soaking solution is used to reduce the evaporation of the soaking solution. The control of the liquid supply pump circuit 27 can be achieved using a PLC controller. When the liquid level in the storage tank is too low, the liquid supply pump circuit will stop working to prevent the liquid supply pump circuit 27 from being idle. The above technical solution is a simple and feasible solution for ordinary technicians, so the specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0034] The liquid supply pump circuit 27 is electrically connected to the photoelectric converter, and the liquid supply pump circuit 27 is powered by the roof-type solar panel cover 1.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
