Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect trapping technology, and in particular to a trapping device for the prevention and control of sweet potato weevils. Background Technology
[0002] The sweet potato weevil is a type of weevil that is a major pest of sweet potatoes worldwide. Adults overwinter in tubers, stems, leaves, and soil crevices. Eggs, larvae, and pupae also overwinter in tubers. Control is difficult and costly. Infested tubers have a foul odor and bitter taste, making them inedible and unsuitable for feed. They are also susceptible to diseases such as black spot and soft rot, leading to decay and reduced sweet potato quality. However, existing sweet potato weevil traps use only one type of attractant, resulting in limited effectiveness and resistance development over time, leading to low trapping success rates.

It also includes a third insect-attracting plate 450 and a third handle 460 installed on the third trapping box 410. One end of the third insect-attracting plate 450 is located outside the third insect inlet 413. The surface of the third insect-attracting plate 450 has multiple spaced third protrusions. One end of the third insect-attracting plate 450 is placed on the ground. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the third trapping chamber 411 is smooth like a mirror to prevent the sweet potato weevil from climbing. A second type of attractant is placed in the third hanging tray 440. The sweet potato weevil will enter the third trapping chamber 411 through the third insect inlet 413 along with the third insect-attracting plate 450. Then, because the third trapping chamber 411 is cone-shaped, the sweet potato weevil will fall into the collection box 150 through the third drop opening 412 and the third connecting opening 140 under the action of gravity. Finally, it will be collected in the drawer 500 through the collection box 150.
[0028] The second trapping assembly 300 includes a second trapping box 310 installed in the collection box 100, a second top cover 320 installed in the second trapping box 310, a second hanging ring 330 installed in the second top cover 320, a second hanging plate 340 hung on the second hanging ring 330, a storage battery 350 and a signal simulator 360 installed in the second hanging plate 340, a controller 370 and a counterweight 380 installed in the second hanging plate 340, and a solar panel 390 installed in the second trapping box 310.

The second drop-out port 312 is connected to the second connection port 130. The second trapping chamber 311 is cone-shaped. A solar panel 390, a signal simulator 360, and a controller 370 are all electrically connected to a storage battery 350. The signal simulator 360 is electrically connected to the controller 370. The box also includes a second insect-attracting plate 3a0 and a second handle 3b0 installed on the second trapping box 310. One end of the second insect-attracting plate 3a0 is located outside the second insect inlet 313. The surface of the second insect-attracting plate 3a0 has multiple spaced-apart second protrusions. One end of the second insect-attracting plate 3a0 is placed on the ground. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the second trapping chamber 311 is smooth like a mirror to prevent the sweet potato weevil from climbing. The controller 370 can control the signal simulator 360 to periodically change the simulated signal to attract female or male sweet potato weevils. The solar panel 390 provides power to the storage battery 350, which in turn provides power to the controller 370 and the signal simulator 360. The signal simulator 360 will release signals to attract female or male sweet potato weevils as needed. After being attracted, the sweet potato weevils will enter the second trapping chamber 311 through the second insect inlet 313 along with the second insect attracting plate 3a0. Then, because the second trapping chamber 311 is cone-shaped, the sweet potato weevils will fall into the collection box 150 through the second drop outlet 312 and the second connection outlet 130 under the action of gravity. Finally, the collection box 150 collects the sweet potato weevils into the drawer 500.
