Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of trap technology, specifically relating to a windproof and rainproof larch caterpillar adult trap. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of forestry pest control, the larch caterpillar is one of the main pests that harm larch and other pine plants. Effective trapping of its adult caterpillars is crucial for controlling the population size.
[0003] Existing technologies generally have the following shortcomings in traditional larch caterpillar adult traps:
[0004] Weak wind and rain protection: Most existing traps adopt an open design, which makes them vulnerable to rainwater directly washing away the sex pheromone lure core during windy and rainy weather, causing the lure to evaporate or become ineffective quickly.
[0005] Lack of gas flow regulation: Traditional traps have a fixed air-permeable structure, making it impossible to dynamically adjust the release of sex pheromones based on environmental factors such as adult density, temperature, and humidity. For example, during periods of low adult activity (such as during the day), the released attractants cannot effectively contact the adult larch caterpillars due to their reduced activity, resulting in significant waste. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a windproof and rainproof larch caterpillar adult trap that can dynamically adjust the release of larch caterpillar sex pheromone from the lure core according to needs, and can achieve the effect of windproof and rainproof, reducing the waste of larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure cores.
[0007] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A windproof and rainproof larch caterpillar adult trap includes a fixed rod, an outer cylinder fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed rod, and a larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder. The larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism has multiple ventilation slots, and the opening area of the ventilation slots is adjustable.
[0009] The lower end of the outer cylinder is detachably fixedly connected to a bottom plate, and a conical hopper is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom plate;
[0010] A controller is fixedly connected to the fixed rod, and the controller is electrically connected to the rotational kinetic energy input mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism includes a placement cylinder fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder. An annular baffle is rotatably connected to the outer side of the placement cylinder. A lower plug is detachably fixedly connected to the lower end of the annular baffle. The placement cylinder has multiple first ventilation grooves. The annular baffle has multiple second ventilation grooves that are one-to-one with the first ventilation grooves. The overlapping area of the first and second ventilation grooves is a ventilation groove. A rotational kinetic energy input mechanism that is drivenly connected to the annular baffle is fixedly connected to the placement cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower plug is threadedly connected to the lower end of the annular baffle.
[0013] Furthermore, the rotary kinetic energy input mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the upper end of the placement cylinder, a gear fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a gear meshing with a gear ring, and the gear ring fixedly connected inside the annular baffle.
[0014] Furthermore, a side plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base plate, and a locking screw is threaded onto the side plate.
[0015] Furthermore, an annular ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer side of the outer cylinder, and the upper side of the annular ring is inclined.
[0016] Furthermore, a connecting block is detachably fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer cylinder, and the placement cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block.
[0017] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This utility model discloses a windproof and rainproof larch caterpillar adult trap. By improving the structure of the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism, the device can control the operation of the lure placement mechanism via a controller. The opening area of the ventilation groove in the lure placement mechanism can be adjusted, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the larch caterpillar sex pheromone release amount according to needs. Because the conical hopper is located below the outer cylinder, it reduces the entry of rainwater and wind into the outer cylinder, achieving windproof and rainproof purposes while minimizing the waste of larch caterpillar sex pheromone lures.

[0025] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a windproof and rainproof larch caterpillar adult trap includes a fixed rod 1, with an outer cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed rod 1. A larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism is fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder 3. The larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism is used to place the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure. The larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism has multiple ventilation slots with adjustable opening areas. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the larch caterpillar sex pheromone release from the lure according to demand, ensuring that the amount of released larch caterpillar sex pheromone is adapted to the surrounding environment. For example, during peak adult emergence periods (such as the active mating period at night), the opening area of the ventilation slots is increased to accelerate pheromone release and improve trapping efficiency; while during periods of low adult activity (such as during the day), the opening area is reduced to minimize pheromone waste.
[0027] The lower end of the outer cylinder 3 is detachably fixedly connected to a bottom plate 5, and a conical bucket 6 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom plate 5;
[0028] At this time, the adult larch caterpillars are attracted to the underside of the bottom plate 5 by the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure, and then fly into the outer cylinder 3 through the conical bucket 6, thus completing the trapping. This technical solution can reinforce the outer cylinder 3 with the fixing rod 1, and since the conical bucket 6 is located below the outer cylinder 3, it can reduce the phenomenon of rainwater entering the outer cylinder 3 and reduce the phenomenon of wind blowing into the outer cylinder 3, while achieving the purpose of wind and rain protection, reducing the phenomenon of rainwater causing the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure to become ineffective, and reducing the waste of the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism includes a placement cylinder 10 fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder 3. An annular baffle 11 is rotatably connected to the outside of the placement cylinder 10. A lower plug 12 is detachably fixedly connected to the lower end of the annular baffle 11. The larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure can be placed inside the combination of the placement cylinder 10, the annular baffle 11 and the lower plug 12. The placement cylinder 10 has multiple first ventilation grooves 13. The annular baffle 11 has multiple second ventilation grooves 14 that are one-to-one with the first ventilation grooves 13. The overlapping area of the first ventilation grooves 13 and the second ventilation grooves 14 is a ventilation groove. A rotary kinetic energy input mechanism is fixedly connected to the placement cylinder 10 and is driven by the annular baffle 11. The rotary kinetic energy input mechanism can drive the annular baffle 11 to rotate.
[0030] Here, the lower plug 12 can be fixed by threaded connection, snap-fit or magnetic connection. In this technical solution, threaded connection is preferred. The lower plug 12 is threaded to the lower end of the annular baffle 11, which is more stable after installation and more convenient to disassemble and assemble.
[0031] Specifically, a controller can be fixedly connected to the fixed rod 1. The controller is a microcontroller and is electrically connected to the rotary kinetic energy input mechanism. The controller can store multiple control strategies for controlling the rotary kinetic energy input mechanism.
[0032] In addition, the controller can also be controlled remotely.
[0033] The controller and the rotary kinetic energy input mechanism can be powered by a battery, a power supply via a power cord, or a solar panel 2. In this technical solution, a solar panel 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 1, and both the controller and the rotary kinetic energy input mechanism are electrically connected to the solar panel 2.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotational kinetic energy input mechanism includes a motor 15 fixedly connected to the upper end of the placement cylinder 10. A gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 15. A gear ring 17 is meshed with the gear 16. The gear ring 17 is fixedly connected inside the annular baffle 11. The controller and the solar panel 2 are both electrically connected to the motor 15 through wires. Starting the motor 15 will drive the annular baffle 11 to rotate.
[0035] The rotary kinetic energy input mechanism can also be a pneumatic mechanism, which uses the kinetic energy of gas to drive the annular baffle 11 to rotate.
[0036] like Figures 2-3As shown, one method of fixing the base plate 5 is disclosed here. A side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base plate 5. A locking screw 8 is threaded onto the side plate 7. By rotating the locking screw 8, the locking screw 8 and the outer cylinder 3 are brought into contact, thus fixing the base plate 5. When the locking screw 8 and the outer cylinder 3 are separated, the base plate 5 can be disassembled relatively easily.
[0037] An annular ring 9 can be fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer side of the outer cylinder 3. The upper side of the annular ring 9 is inclined. When the end of the locking screw 8 abuts against the upper side of the annular ring 9, the locking screw 8 can be limited downward by the annular ring 9, reducing the phenomenon of the bottom plate 5 and the lower side of the outer cylinder 3 falling off.
[0038] The placement cylinder 10 can be directly fixed to the inside of the outer cylinder 3, or it can be... Figures 2-3 As shown, a connecting block 4 is detachably fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer cylinder 3. The fixing method of the connecting block 4 can be threaded connection or snap-fit. The placement cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 4. At this time, the connecting block 4 can be directly disassembled, and the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism can be taken out, so that the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure inside the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism can be replaced.
[0039] In summary, this technical solution improves the structure of the larch caterpillar sex pheromone lure placement mechanism, enabling the controller to control the mechanism's operation and adjust the opening area of the ventilation slot. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the larch caterpillar sex pheromone release amount according to requirements.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
