Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pest trapping technology, and in particular to a citrus psyllid trapping device. Background Technology

[0002] The citrus psyllid is an insect belonging to the family Psyllididae in the order Hemiptera. Adults are small, about 3 mm long, and entirely bluish-gray with grayish-brown markings, covered in a white powdery coating. The head protrudes like scissors, with three large yellowish-brown spots arranged in a triangular pattern. The compound eyes are dark red; the antennae have 10 segments, each ending in two stiff hairs of unequal length. The forewings are translucent, scattered with brown markings, and the wing margins are darker; the hindwings are colorless and transparent. The abdomen is grayish-black dorsally and light green ventrally. The eggs are mango-shaped, orange-yellow, and smooth. The nymphs are flattened oval, slightly convex dorsally, and yellow in color. Short white waxy filaments are secreted around the abdominal periphery, and the terminal segment of the antennae, like the adults, has two stiff hairs of unequal length.

[0003] Citrus psyllids primarily damage the tender buds and new shoots of host crops, both as adults and nymphs. Adults and nymphs pierce and suck the sap from tender buds, young leaves, and shoots, causing the damaged buds and shoots to wither and die, and new leaves to become twisted and deformed. Their excrement induces sooty mold.

[0004] Commonly used citrus psyllid traps attract citrus psyllids with bait and kill them with an electric grid. However, the traps cannot be moved during use, and the bait can only attract citrus psyllids within a certain range. This means that the traps can only trap citrus psyllids within a fixed area, requiring a large number of traps to be installed in the orchard. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a citrus psyllid trapping device that can trap citrus psyllids, and the position of the trapping device is adjustable to expand the trapping range and reduce the number of trapping devices in the orchard.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a citrus psyllid trapping device is provided, comprising two support rods, each equipped with a grooved wheel frame, the grooved wheel frames of the two support rods facing each other, and a base fixedly connected to the lower end of each support rod, the base supporting the rod to be fixed to the ground. A steel wire rope is mounted on the surface of the grooved wheel in the grooved wheel frame, and the steel wire rope is controlled by the grooved wheel frames on the two support rods. A trapping mechanism is fixedly connected to the steel wire rope, and a first motor is provided on one side of the trapping mechanism, fixedly connected to one side of the grooved wheel frame. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the grooved wheel, and the first motor controls the grooved wheel to move the steel wire rope and thus the trapping mechanism. The trapping mechanism consists of a top... The device comprises a cover, an electric grid, a housing, clamping blocks, and fixing blocks. The electric grid is installed on the upper end of the housing, and the top cover is installed on the upper end of the electric grid. The fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the upper end of the top cover. The clamping blocks are located on one side of the fixing blocks and cooperate with the fixing blocks to clamp the steel wire rope. A door is installed on the surface of the housing. A trapping box containing a attractant for citrus psyllids is placed inside the housing. A second motor is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the housing, and a cleaning mechanism is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the top of the housing outside the electric grid. A photovoltaic panel is installed on the upper surface of the top cover, and a battery and controller are installed inside the top cover. This device can trap citrus psyllids and its position is adjustable, expanding the trapping range and reducing the number of trapping devices in the orchard.

[0007] According to the aforementioned citrus psyllid trapping device, the device casing includes an annular discharge frame, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the casing. Several fixing plates are equidistantly fixed to the inner wall of the discharge frame. The electric grid is installed through the fixing plates. Several openings are formed on the surface of the discharge frame, surrounding the outside of the electric grid. A cleaning mechanism cleans the upper part of the discharge frame. The openings in the discharge frame allow citrus psyllids to fall from the electric grid and be cleaned by the cleaning mechanism into the casing for easy collection by workers. This allows for assessment of the severity of orchard pests and diseases based on the number of citrus psyllids trapped.

[0008] According to the citrus psyllid trapping device, the cleaning mechanism consists of a mounting frame, connecting rods, a turntable, and a cleaning brush. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the center of the turntable. Two connecting rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the turntable, with the end of the connecting rod furthest from the turntable located on the outside of the device housing. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the two connecting rods, and the device housing passes through the mounting frame. The cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame and cleans the upper part of the discharge frame. The second motor controls the rotation of the turntable, causing the cleaning brush to move on the discharge frame, pushing the citrus psyllids accumulated on the discharge frame into the device housing.

[0009] According to the citrus psyllid trapping device, the trapping box consists of a mounting cover and a box body. The mounting cover is located on the top of the box body, and multiple ventilation holes are formed on the surface of the mounting cover. The box body is used to store the trapping agent, and the odor emitted by the trapping agent diffuses to the outside through the ventilation holes.

[0010] According to the citrus psyllid trapping device, rain covers are installed on the surfaces of the first and second motors. The rain covers prevent rainwater from entering the first and second motors during rainfall.

[0011] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The first motor controls the rotation of the grooved wheel, which in turn causes the wire rope to move the trapping mechanism, increasing its trapping range and enabling it to trap citrus psyllids.

[0013] 2. Citrus psyllids are attracted by the bait released in the trap box. The electric grid kills the citrus psyllids that approach. The cleaning mechanism then cleans the citrus psyllids that have fallen onto the discharge frame after being killed by the electric grid and puts them into the equipment casing.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
