Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0025] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-4A moth-catching net includes a support rod 1 with an internal cavity. An observation window 6 is embedded in one side wall of the support rod 1. A door 16 is hinged to the support rod 1 next to the observation window 6. A sliding tube 3 is bolted to the other side of the support rod 1. A channel cover 18 is threaded to the other end of the sliding tube 3. A one-way valve 4 is attached to the side of the sliding tube 3 near the channel cover 18. A flared insect-catching net 2 is attached to the top of the support rod 1. The insect-catching net 2 is funnel-shaped. One end of the insect-catching net 2 is fitted with a mesh opening ring 19, which has an embedded LED light-attracting bead 5. The other end of the insect-catching net 2 is fitted with a silicone sealing ring 17, which is fitted with a detachable tail net 10. The low-power LED light-attracting beads 5 embedded in the mesh ring 19 emit the ultraviolet light band most sensitive to moths to attract them for easy capture. The LED light-attracting beads 5 can be removable and have their batteries replaced for extended operation. The surface of the one-way valve 4 is equipped with a ring of very soft, transparent silicone or TPU flaps. These flaps have a "Venetian blind" structure, opening only towards the observation window. Once a moth passes through the one-way valve 4, the flaps immediately close due to their elasticity, preventing it from retreating back into the net. This avoids the insect being startled and escaping back into the net bag during transfer, allowing the operation to be completed in one step. After capturing moths, the user can remove the tail net 10 from the insect-catching net 2 and the channel cover 18 from the sliding tube 3. The silicone sealing ring 17 can then be fitted onto the sliding tube. By pinching the net opening ring 19, the moth is forced to crawl along the sliding tube 3 and enter the support rod 1. The user can identify the target moth through the observation window on the support rod 1. Finally, the user can choose to contain or release the moth by opening the compartment door 16. This moth-catching net not only improves the efficiency of capturing moths but also greatly simplifies the capture process and enhances the user experience.

[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the support rod 1 is connected to a sleeve rod 7 by a thread. The sleeve rod 7 has a cavity inside. Two rows of locking holes 9 are opened on both sides of the sleeve rod 7, and the two rows of locking holes 9 correspond one-to-one. Two locking pins 15 are locked in the locking holes 9. The locking pins 15 are locked in the extension rod 8. The extension rod 8 has a cavity inside. The locking pins 15 are fitted with a limit baffle 14 inside the extension rod 8. The locking pins 15 are fitted with a spring 13 inside the extension rod 8. The spring 13 is fitted with a short crossbar 20. The short crossbar 20 is locked in the support block 12. The support block 12 is locked in the vertical direction with a vertical rod 11, and the vertical rod 11 is fixedly connected to the extension rod. The installation of the limiting baffle 14 on the locking post 15 prevents the locking post 15 from being ejected from the locking hole 9 by the spring 13. The support block 12 provides support for the retraction of the springs 13 on both sides, and the vertical rod 11 locked on the support block 12 prevents the springs 13 from shaking arbitrarily. The user can press the locking post 15 on the extension rod 8 to retract the spring 13, thereby switching the locking post 15 to the locking hole 9 on the sleeve rod 7 to adjust the length of the moth-catching net handle. The locking post 15 locking into the locking hole 9 on the sleeve rod 7 prevents the net handle from extending or retracting freely. The support rod 1 and the sleeve rod 7 are connected by threads, allowing the user to carry them separately and assemble them when in use, increasing the portability of the net.

[0028] In this example, a moth-catching net allows the user to adjust the length of the net's handle by pressing the locking post 15 on the extension rod 8, which in turn causes the spring 13 to retract, switching the locking post 15 to the locking hole 9 on the sleeve rod 7. By locking the locking post 15 into the locking hole 9 on the sleeve rod 7, the net handle cannot extend or retract freely. When capturing moths, the low-power LED light-attracting beads 5 embedded in the mesh ring 19 can emit the ultraviolet light band that moths are most sensitive to, which can be used to attract moths and make it easier for users to capture them. The LED light-attracting beads 5 can be replaced by removing and replacing the battery to achieve long-term power supply. After capturing the target moth, the user can remove the tail net 10 on the insect net 2 and remove the channel cover 18 on the slide tube 3. The user can then attach the silicone sealing ring 17 to the slide tube and squeeze the mesh ring 19 to force the moth to crawl along the slide tube 3. Through the one-way valve (4), the moth enters the support rod 1. The user can use the observation window on the support rod 1 to identify whether it is the target moth. Finally, the user can open the chamber door 16 to choose to contain or release the moth.

[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
