Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of red imported fire ant control technology, and in particular to a nest-injection device for red imported fire ant control. Background Technology

[0002] Red imported fire ants are a highly aggressive and prolific invasive species. Their nests are complex, typically 0.5 to 1 meter deep, and are difficult to detect in their early stages, only becoming easily discovered when they mature and rise above the ground. Therefore, once a red imported fire ant nest is discovered, effective control measures must be taken to prevent its spread and harm to humans. Injection is a precise method of exterminating red imported fire ants in their nests. By directly injecting a liquid containing a highly effective pesticide into the nest, the queen and most worker ants can be quickly killed, thus completely destroying the colony's reproductive capacity.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional injection devices are prone to clogging when soil directly enters the liquid outlet during insertion into the ant nest. Furthermore, leakage often occurs during drug injection due to poor sealing, wasting drug and failing to ensure that the drug reaches the deeper layers of the nest. Traditional injection devices are mostly designed with a single or a few liquid outlets, which cannot achieve the wide diffusion of the drug within the nest as with multiple liquid outlets. Therefore, we propose an in-nest drug injection device for the control of red imported fire ants to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an in-nest drug injection device for the control of red imported fire ants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A nest-injection device for controlling red imported fire ants includes an injection cylinder, a conical head fixedly connected to the bottom of the injection cylinder, a piston slidably connected inside the injection cylinder, a metal support plate fixedly connected to the top of the piston, a push rod fixedly connected to the top of the metal support plate, multiple liquid outlet holes on the outer wall of the injection cylinder, a rubber plug sleeve slidably fitted on the outer wall of the injection cylinder, a metal sleeve fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rubber plug sleeve, and an injection assembly on the outer wall of the injection cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the injection assembly includes two connecting rods, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the metal sleeve, and the top of the two connecting rods is fixedly connected to the same ring. The top of the ring is fixedly connected to two springs, and the top of the two springs is fixedly connected to the same top ring. The bottom of the top ring is fixedly connected to the top of the syringe. This design facilitates continuous use of the injection assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the metal support plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the injection cylinder, and the piston is moved by setting the metal support plate.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the push rod, and the handle drives the push rod to move so that the piston can push out the insecticide.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the syringe.

[0011] Preferably, a transparent acrylic plate is fixedly embedded in the outer wall of the injection cylinder, and the outer wall of the transparent acrylic plate is provided with multiple scale lines. By setting the transparent acrylic plate and scale lines, it is convenient to observe the amount of injection.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] This solution uses rubber plugs to reliably seal multiple effluent holes during insertion into the ant nest, preventing soil from entering and causing blockages. When injecting the pesticide, the movement of the rubber plugs to expose the effluent holes is controlled simply by the cooperation of the ring and the top ring, which reduces pesticide waste and ensures that the pesticide reaches deep into the nest. The piston extrusion force diffuses the insecticide from multiple effluent holes into the interior of the red imported fire ant nest, better covering the complex internal channels of the nest, improving the comprehensiveness of extermination, reducing the risk of recurrence, and facilitating continuous injection of pesticides into multiple nests, thus improving operational efficiency.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Depend on Figures 1-4 As shown, this invention relates to an in-nest drug injection device for controlling red imported fire ants, including an injection cylinder 1, which provides storage space for the insecticide. A conical head 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the injection cylinder 1, and a piston 3 is slidably connected inside the injection cylinder 1. A metal support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 3. By pushing the piston 3, the insecticide in the injection cylinder 1 can be smoothly pushed out to achieve the injection of the agent. The outer wall of the metal support plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the injection cylinder 1. The metal support plate 4 enhances the structural strength of the piston 3, prevents the piston 3 from deforming due to uneven force during the pushing process, and can more stably transmit the thrust brought by the push rod 5 to ensure the smooth movement of the piston 3.

[0022] A push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the metal support plate 4, and a handle 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the push rod 5. Multiple liquid outlet holes 7 are opened on the outer wall of the syringe 1. The agent is sprayed out through the multiple liquid outlet holes 7, so that the agent is more widely dispersed into the interior of the red imported fire ant nest. A rubber plug 8 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the syringe 1. The rubber plug 8 can seal the multiple liquid outlet holes 7 to prevent soil from entering and blocking the liquid outlet holes 7. When injecting, the rubber plug 8 is moved to expose the liquid outlet holes 7, ensuring that the agent is sprayed out smoothly. Its rubber material has good sealing and elasticity, and the sealing effect is reliable. A metal sleeve 9 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rubber plug 8, and the metal sleeve 9 enhances the structural stability of the rubber plug 8.

[0023] The outer wall of the syringe 1 is provided with an injection assembly, which includes two connecting rods 10. The two connecting rods 10 transmit the moving force of the ring 11 to the metal sleeve 9, thereby driving the rubber plug 8 to move. The two connecting rods 10 are symmetrically arranged to ensure the balance of force transmission.

[0024] The bottom of both connecting rods 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the metal sleeve 9. The top of both connecting rods 10 is fixedly connected to the same ring 11. The inner wall of the ring 11 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the syringe 1. The top of the ring 11 is fixedly connected to two springs 12. The top of the two springs 12 is fixedly connected to the same top ring 13. The elastic force of the springs 12 can drive the ring 11 to reset, thereby causing the rubber plug 8 to re-block the liquid outlet 7, realizing automatic reset, eliminating the manual reset step, and improving the efficiency of continuous operation. The bottom of the top ring 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the syringe 1.

[0025] A transparent acrylic plate 14 is fixedly embedded in the outer wall of the syringe 1. The outer wall of the transparent acrylic plate 14 is provided with multiple scale lines 15. The transparent acrylic plate 14 and multiple scale lines 15 make it easy for users to observe the remaining amount of medicine in the syringe 1, understand the status of the medicine in time, and replenish the medicine in a timely manner.

[0026] Working principle: In use, a synthetic insecticide (such as pyrethroid) is mixed with water and poured into syringe 1. The piston 3 is then inserted into syringe 1 via handle 6 and push rod 5. The entire syringe is then inserted into the red imported fire ant nest via conical head 2, reaching deep inside. Two fingers are placed on the bottom of ring 11, and the thumb on the top ring 13. Pressing firmly moves ring 11 towards the top ring 13, compressing the two springs 12. This movement of ring 11 drives the two connecting rods 10 upwards, which in turn moves the metal sleeve 9 upwards. The metal sleeve 9 moves upward, causing the rubber plug 8 to move upward. The upward movement of the rubber plug 8 exposes multiple liquid outlet holes 7. The other hand presses the handle 6, causing the handle 6 to move the push rod 5 downward. The push rod 5 pushes the metal support plate 4 and piston 3 downward. The piston 3 pushes the insecticide in the syringe 1 to spray outward from the multiple liquid outlet holes 7, which helps to disperse into the interior of the red imported fire ant nest. When the ring 11 is released, the ring 11 is reset by the elastic force of the two springs 12, causing the rubber plug 8 to block the multiple liquid outlet holes 7 again, preventing the insecticide from flowing out, and then injecting and killing other red imported fire ant nests.
