A smart termite monitoring device

Abstract

This application relates to a termite intelligent monitoring device, comprising a shell, a movable plate, an elastic element, a connecting rope, and an indicator. The connecting rope, made of a material that can be chewed and broken by termites, serves as the core triggering medium. Initially, the connecting rope is taut, pulling the movable plate against the first sidewall of the groove, overcoming the elastic force of the elastic element. At this time, the first through-hole of the mounting plate is blocked by the solid part of the movable plate, and the indicator is positioned within the first through-hole. When termites chew through the connecting rope, they lose the tension on the movable plate, the elastic element contracts, and the movable plate slides along the groove to the second sidewall. The movement of the movable plate aligns the actuating part with the position of the first through-hole, releasing the constraint on the indicator. The indicator falls through the bottom opening under gravity. The operator can determine the presence of termites by observing whether the indicator is present at the bottom of the opening. The disconnection of the connecting rope is only affected by termite chewing and the response is timely, thereby improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of termite monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent termite monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are extremely harmful pests that cause severe damage to wooden structures, furniture, books, cables, and even crops, resulting in huge economic losses. Timely and accurate monitoring of termite activity is a key prerequisite for effective control.

[0003] Currently available smart termite monitoring devices are simple mechanical / physical monitoring devices. These devices typically rely on structural changes caused by termites eating bait (such as wood) (e.g., bait block collapse, loosening of clips, etc.) to prove the presence of termites. Their advantages are simple structure and low cost. However, they suffer from low trigger sensitivity and poor alarm accuracy. They depend on termites eating a sufficient amount of bait to cause noticeable physical changes, resulting in a delayed response and potential false alarms. Furthermore, factors such as bait swelling due to moisture, shrinking due to drying, or non-termite factors (e.g., small animal contact, wind erosion) can also cause structural loosening or false triggering, leading to a high false alarm rate.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of termite monitoring is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The operator can determine whether there are termites by observing whether there is an indicator at the bottom of the opening. The disconnection of the connecting rope of this device is only affected by the eating of termites, and the response is timely, thereby improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples.

In addition, various specific examples of processes and materials are provided in this application; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.

[0050] See Figures 1-5This application provides a termite intelligent monitoring device, including a shell 100, a movable plate 200, an elastic element 300, a connecting rope 400, and an indicator 500. The connecting rope 400 is made of a material that can be eaten and broken by termites. The top of the shell 100 has a mounting plate 600, and the bottom of the shell 100 has an opening 101. The movable plate 200, elastic element 300, and connecting rope 400 are disposed inside the shell 100. A groove 601 is provided on the first side of the mounting plate 600, including a groove bottom and opposing first and second side walls. A first through hole 602 is provided vertically on the mounting plate 600. The movable plate 200 is disposed inside the groove 601, and the first side of the movable plate 200 is slidably connected to the groove bottom of the groove 601. A first connecting position 202 and a second connecting position 203 are provided on the second side of the movable plate 200. The connecting position 202 is located near the first side wall and is used to connect the first end of the connecting rope 400. The second connecting position 203 is located near the second side wall and is used to connect the first end of the elastic element 300. The moving plate 200 is provided with an action part, which is used to control the indicator 500 to disengage from the first through hole 602. The second end of the connecting rope 400 is connected to the bottom of the housing 100. The second end of the elastic element 300 is fixed to the housing 100 or the mounting plate 600. When the connecting rope 400 is connected, the indicator 500 is located inside the first through hole 602. The first through hole 602 is located between the action part and the elastic element 300. The moving plate 200 abuts against the first side wall. When the connecting rope 400 is disconnected, the position of the first through hole 602 corresponds to the position of the action part. The moving plate 200 abuts against the second side wall, and the indicator 500 disengages from the first through hole 602 and falls through the opening 101.

[0051] Specifically, the first connecting position 202 and the second connecting position 203 are columns extending in the direction close to the opening 101, so as to facilitate binding and fixing the connecting rope 400 and to facilitate fixing the elastic element 300.

[0052] Specifically, the termite intelligent monitoring device provided by this utility model can be triggered by termites simply biting through the connecting rope 400, which is far lower than the requirement of traditional bait to eat more than 30% of its volume. This can effectively reduce the false alarm rate. Moreover, this device is a purely mechanical structure, and the connecting rope 400 is only subjected to unidirectional tension. Non-biting external forces (such as vibration) are filtered out because they cannot simulate the spring rebound logic when the rope breaks, thereby improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

[0053] Specifically, the elastic element 300 is preferably a spring, the connecting rope 400 can be made of plant fibers such as hemp rope or cotton rope, and the indicator 500 can be made of any material such as a metal ball or a plastic block.

[0054] The termite intelligent monitoring device provided by this utility model uses a connecting rope 400 made of a material that can be eaten and broken by termites as the core triggering medium. In the initial state, the connecting rope 400 is taut, pulling the moving plate 200 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 300 and press against the first side wall of the groove 601. At this time, the first through hole 602 of the mounting plate 600 is blocked by the solid part of the moving plate 200, and the indicator 500 is stuck in the first through hole 602. When the termites eat through the connecting rope 400, they lose the tension on the moving plate 200, and the elastic element 300... The device retracts and drags the movable plate 200 along the groove 601 to the second side wall of the groove 601. The movable plate 200 moves so that the position of the actuating part corresponds to the position of the first through hole 602, releasing the restriction on the indicator 500. The indicator 500 falls through the bottom opening 101 under the action of gravity. The operator can determine whether there are termites by observing whether there is an indicator 500 at the bottom of the opening 101. The disconnection of the connecting rope 400 of this device is only affected by termite gnawing and the response is timely, thereby improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

[0055] It should be noted that the actuating part can take many forms, as long as it can realize the falling of the indicator 500. The following are two embodiments of the actuating part.

[0056] In some embodiments, the actuating part is a second through hole 201 opened vertically in the movable plate 200. The first side and the second side of the movable plate 200 are opposite sides. When the connecting rope 400 is in the connected state, the bottom of the indicator 500 abuts against the first side of the movable plate 200. When the connecting rope 400 is in the disconnected state, the positions of the first through hole 602 and the second through hole 201 correspond, and the indicator 500 disengages from the first through hole 602 and falls through the second through hole 201 and the opening 101.

[0057] Specifically, when the connecting rope 400 releases the tension on the moving plate 200, the displacement of the moving plate 200 in the groove 601 can just support the position of the second through hole 201 corresponding to the first through hole 602, so that the indicator 500 in the first through hole 602 can fall through the second through hole 201.

[0058] Specifically, the operator can adjust the distance between the axis of the first through hole 602 and the axis of the second through hole 201 when the connecting rope 400 is in the connected state, according to the usage needs (width of the indicator 500, placement position of the indicator 500 in the first through hole 602, etc.). This is so that when the connecting rope 400 is in the connected state, the moving plate 200 supports the indicator 500, preventing the indicator 500 from falling out of the first through hole 602. When the connecting rope 400 is in the disconnected state, the axis of the second through hole 201 moves closer to the axis of the first through hole 602, allowing the indicator 500 to fall out of the first through hole 602.

[0059] In use, in the initial state, the first through hole 602 of the mounting plate 600 and the second through hole 201 of the moving plate 200 are misaligned, forming a physical support surface of the moving plate 200 to support the indicator 500. When termites eat the connecting rope 400 and it is in a disconnected state, the moving plate 200 slides to make the second through hole 201 and the first through hole 602 precisely aligned, and the falling path of the indicator 500 is unblocked, falling out from the opening 101 to indicate to the operator the presence of termites.

[0060] In other embodiments, the movable plate 200 has a third through hole in the vertical direction. The working part is an insertion plate, which is connected to the wall of the third through hole and arranged to fit the bottom of the groove. The indicator 500 includes a first magnet and a second magnet. The first magnet is disposed inside the first through hole 602, and the second magnet is disposed below the first magnet. An L-shaped baffle is provided on the second side of the movable plate 200. The baffle includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The vertical plate is connected to the movable plate 200. The edge of the horizontal plate is arranged close to the axis of the first through hole 602, and the area of ​​the horizontal plate in the vertical projection area of ​​the first through hole 602 is less than half of the cross-section of the second magnet. When the connecting rope 400 is in the connected state, the second magnet is disposed on the horizontal plate and the second magnet attracts the first magnet. When the connecting rope 400 is in the disconnected state, the insertion plate is inserted between the second magnet and the first magnet, and the second magnet falls through the third through hole and the opening 101.

[0061] Specifically, the position of the insertion plate can be understood as follows: a horizontal insertion plate is set at the position of the second through hole 201, that is, the insertion plate is connected to the hole wall of the third through hole. At this time, it is necessary to position the second magnet, so a baffle is set. The horizontal plate supports part of the bottom of the second magnet, so that the second magnet will not pull the first magnet down. The horizontal plate cannot fully support the bottom of the second magnet, so as to prevent the friction between the baffle and the second magnet from causing the second magnet to move horizontally during the movement of the moving plate 200, thus preventing it from falling. Furthermore, when the second magnet attracts the first magnet, the first through hole 602 can limit the first magnet, thereby preventing the second magnet and the first magnet from falling together with the horizontal plate.

[0062] Specifically, the baffle is arranged to fit the bottom of the groove. By adjusting the length of the first magnet and the second magnet, the baffle can be inserted between the first magnet and the second magnet. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the insertion plate can be inserted precisely between the first magnet and the second magnet, an inclination angle can be set on the first magnet or the second magnet at the point where the insertion plate abuts against the first magnet and the second magnet in the insertion direction of the insertion plate, so as to guide the baffle.

[0063] In use, the first magnet is placed in the first through hole 602, and the second magnet is attracted to the first magnet. The second magnet is placed in the third through hole. The horizontal plate supports the second magnet and the first magnet. The position of the first magnet is fixed. When the connecting rope 400 is disconnected, the horizontal plate moves towards the elastic member 300 with the moving plate 200 under the action of the elastic member 300. The insertion plate is inserted between the second magnet and the first magnet, so that the second magnet and the first magnet are no longer attracted to each other. At the same time, the horizontal plate moves together with the moving plate 200. After losing the limiting effect of the first through hole 602, the small contact area between the horizontal plate and the second magnet can no longer stably support the second magnet, so the second magnet falls under the action of gravity.

[0064] Furthermore, based on the material of the second magnet, the operator can place an iron tray below the opening 101 to attract the second magnet, thereby enabling the retrieval of the indicator 500, preventing the second magnet from rolling away and ensuring monitoring accuracy.

[0065] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the indicator 500 of this application may also be made of magnetic material and designed with corresponding recycling components to ensure monitoring accuracy, which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] It should be noted that, according to the judgment principle, the indicator 500 can be changed accordingly. In the above scheme, the operator only needs to judge whether the indicator 500 has fallen below the opening 101 to determine whether termites have bitten through the connecting rope 400. Therefore, the indicator 500 can be a solid of any shape and material. In the following scheme, the indicator 500 can be used in conjunction with the circuit board to determine whether termites are present. Therefore, the indicator 500 has a conductor function.

[0067] It should be noted that in the above solution, the indicator 500 falls by gravity, and the operator determines whether there are termites by observing whether the indicator 500 is below the opening 101. Therefore, it is preferred to be applied to buildings and other scenarios to facilitate observation. In some scenarios, such as fields and wilderness, it is necessary to bury the intelligent termite monitoring device underground for accurate monitoring. After improving the above solution, this application provides the following four embodiments to expand the application scope of the intelligent termite monitoring device.

[0068] In some embodiments, the termite intelligent monitoring device further includes a first circuit board 700, which is connected to the housing 100 and disposed on the top of the mounting plate 600. The first circuit board 700 is provided with a detection interface, and the indicator 500 is a first connecting conductor. When the connecting rope 400 is in a connected state, the first connecting conductor is disposed inside the first through hole 602, and the first connecting conductor is wiredly connected to the detection interface to form a closed loop. The first circuit board 700 detects a connected state. When the connecting rope 400 is in a disconnected state, the first connecting conductor is disengaged from the first through hole 602, the first connecting conductor is disconnected from the detection interface, the closed loop is broken, and the first circuit board 700 detects a disconnected state.

[0069] Specifically, the detection interface of the first circuit board 700 is wired to the first connecting conductor to form a closed loop. The connection line between the detection interface and the first connecting conductor is short to ensure that the first connecting conductor is disconnected from the detection interface during the fall.

[0070] Specifically, the first connecting conductor can be reused and connected to the detection interface multiple times, and the connecting rope 400 can also be replaced multiple times.

[0071] When in use, termites bite through the connecting rope 400, and the first connecting conductor falls under the influence of gravity. The first connecting conductor loses its physical connection with the detection interface, and the first circuit board 700 detects the disconnection and sends an alarm signal to the operator. This arrangement makes the alarm signal trigger sensitive, thereby improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

[0072] Specifically, this solution has a simple structure, can achieve zero false alarms, has low energy consumption, and has a wide range of applications.

[0073] In other embodiments, the termite intelligent monitoring device further includes a second circuit board, a first conductive terminal, and a second conductive terminal. The second circuit board is connected to the housing 100 and is located on the top of the mounting plate 600. The first and second conductive terminals are independently disposed on the second circuit board. The indicator 500 is a second connecting conductor. When the connecting rope 400 is in the connected state, the second connecting conductor is located inside the first through hole 602. The second connecting conductor simultaneously contacts the first and second conductive terminals, forming an electrical short circuit. When the connecting rope 400 is in the disconnected state, the second connecting conductor disengages from the first through hole 602 and simultaneously disengages from the first and second conductive terminals, thus breaking the circuit.

[0074] Specifically, the volume of the second connecting conductor should be sufficient to simultaneously contact the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal to form an electrical short circuit.

[0075] In use, the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal are located on the surface of the second circuit board. Initially, the second connecting conductor simultaneously contacts the first and second conductive terminals, forming a short circuit. Termites bite through the connecting rope 400, and the second connecting conductor falls under the influence of gravity. When falling, the second connecting conductor detaches from the first and second conductive terminals, and the circuit is broken. The resistance between the first and second conductive terminals increases sharply from close to 0 to ∞. Based on this, the second circuit board determines that an alarm signal is triggered and sends it to the operator. This arrangement eliminates the physical connecting wires in the above embodiments, simplifies the structure, and maintains the sensitivity of the alarm signal triggering, thereby improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

[0076] Specifically, this solution has high alarm sensitivity and does not cause wear and tear on moving parts, making it suitable for high-precision monitoring scenarios.

[0077] In other embodiments, the termite intelligent monitoring device further includes a visual detection component and a control terminal. The visual detection component is connected to the housing 100 and is disposed on the top of the mounting plate 600. The visual detection component is electrically connected to the control terminal. The visual detection component has an image recognition unit for recognizing the indicator 500.

[0078] Specifically, the visual inspection device can be a camera device. The camera identifies the presence and status of the indicator 500 in the captured image in real time through the model input by the operator, thereby determining whether the indicator 500 is still in its original position.

[0079] When in use, if termites bite through the connecting rope 400, the indicator 500 will fall under the influence of gravity. The image recognition unit will not be able to capture or recognize the indicator 500, thus triggering an alarm signal to the control terminal.

[0080] Furthermore, when the visual inspection device triggers an alarm signal, it automatically saves the image and transmits it to the control terminal for manual review, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring.

[0081] In other embodiments, the termite intelligent monitoring device further includes a visual detection element and a control terminal, the visual detection element being electrically connected to the control terminal, and the visual detection element having a capture part for capturing an indicator 500.

[0082] Specifically, the visual detection device can be a camera device, which determines whether the indicator 500 has disappeared by capturing and comparing the differences between frames (the existing background subtraction method).

[0083] When in use, when termites bite through the connecting rope 400, the indicator 500 falls under the influence of gravity. The pixel values ​​of the two snapshots taken before and after the fall are significantly different, thus triggering an alarm signal to the control terminal.

[0084] Specifically, the frame difference method in this embodiment only needs to compare pixel values ​​to determine whether the indicator 500 has disappeared. It can be processed by an MCU (microcontroller unit). Compared with the above embodiments, it can significantly reduce the cost of the device while ensuring the accuracy of monitoring.

[0085] Specifically, the camera captures 500 indicators at regular intervals or continuously captures 500 indicators.

[0086] To optimize the above technical solution, the termite intelligent monitoring device also includes a sealing plate 800. The sealing plate 800 is located inside the outer shell 100 and connected to the outer shell 100. It is used to isolate the moving plate 200, the elastic element 300 and the mounting plate 600 from the opening 101. The sealing plate 800 has a fourth through hole 801 in the vertical direction. The position of the fourth through hole 801 corresponds to the position of the first through hole 602. A first channel 802 is formed between the sealing plate 800 and the moving plate 200 for the first end of the connecting rope 400 to pass through.

[0087] Specifically, to prevent termites from entering the elastic component 300, circuit board, and other locations and interfering with the judgment, and to ensure the accuracy of monitoring, a sealing plate 800 is set up to separate the termite activity area from the judgment area of ​​this device. This can prevent false alarms and extend the service life of each component.

[0088] Specifically, when this device is applied underground, the outer casing 100 and the sealing plate 800 also serve to isolate the mechanical parts from the soil.

[0089] When in use, inside the outer casing 100, the only area where termites can gnaw is the connecting rope 400. After the termites gnaw on the connecting rope 400, the elastic element 300 contracts, causing the indicator 500 to fall.

[0090] To optimize the above technical solution, the termite intelligent monitoring device also includes a second channel 900. The first end of the second channel 900 is connected to the sealing plate 800 and covers the fourth through hole 801. The second end of the second channel 900 is connected to the outer shell 100 and covers the opening 101. The surface of the outer shell 100 is provided with a plurality of openings 102.

[0091] Specifically, the bottom of the sealing plate 800 is provided with a first limiting part 803, the top of the second channel 900 is inserted into the first limiting part 803, and the bottom of the second channel 900 is provided with a second limiting part 804. The second limiting part 804 is connected to the outer shell 100 and is used to insert the bottom of the second channel 900.

[0092] Specifically, the second channel 900 is actually the falling channel of the indicator 500. When the indicator 500 falls away from the first channel 802, it enters the second channel 900 through the second through hole 201 or the third through hole and the fourth through hole 801, and then falls through the opening 101, thereby indicating the presence of termites.

[0093] By setting up a fourth channel, the falling indicator 500 can be limited to prevent it from falling into the interior of the housing 100 and falling through the opening 101, thus affecting the operator's judgment. This arrangement achieves precise delivery of the indicator 500 and further improves the accuracy of judgment.

[0094] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the fourth channel is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the opening 101 to ensure the accuracy of the falling position of the indicator 500.

[0095] Specifically, the aforementioned iron tray or recycling box can be installed below the opening 101 to facilitate observation by operators.

[0096] When in use, termites can enter the space between the second channel 900 and the outer shell 100 through the opening 102, gnaw on the connecting rope 400, thereby triggering the elastic element 300 to contract and the indicator 500 to fall.

[0097] Furthermore, the second channel 900 may have multiple holes, allowing termites that enter the second channel 900 through the opening 101 to crawl out and enter the space between the second channel 900 and the outer shell 100 to gnaw on the connecting rope 400.

[0098] To optimize the above technical solution, the termite intelligent monitoring device also includes a filler 901, which is made of a material that can be eaten by termites. The filler 901 is filled between the inner surface of the outer shell 100 and the second channel 900.

[0099] Specifically, the filler 901 fills the space formed by the first limiting part 803, the sealing plate 800, the second limiting part 804, the second channel 900 and the outer shell 100.

[0100] Specifically, the filler 901 can be materials such as sawdust or pulp, used to attract termites.

[0101] When in use, the filler 901 can be used as bait to lure termites into the device, whereupon they will find the connecting rope 400 and bite it off. The falling indicator 500 will prove that there are termites in the area where the device is installed.

[0102] Furthermore, the aforementioned opening 102 has a preliminary screening function. The size of the opening 102 can be set as needed to prevent other species larger than termites from entering the shell 100 and gnawing on the connecting rope 400, thereby further improving the accuracy of termite monitoring.

Other fields refer to any field other than the field of termite monitoring equipment technology. The above is merely an example and does not limit the application field of the intelligent termite monitoring device provided by this utility model.
