Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pest trapping technology, specifically a pest trapping mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] During corn cultivation, lepidopteran larvae such as armyworms and fall armyworms often swarm and voraciously feed on leaves. In severe cases, they can devour the leaves of an entire cornfield within 2-3 days, leaving only the veins, leading to complete loss of photosynthesis and eventual wilting and death of the plants. These pests and diseases are characterized by rapid outbreaks and strong migratory capabilities. Large-scale outbreaks can cause yield losses of more than 50% in corn-producing areas within a short period, and even complete crop failure in some areas.
[0003] Currently, existing devices use insect-attracting lamps in conjunction with electric grids for killing insects. The electric grids often employ exposed metal mesh structures. When rainwater penetrates the rain cover or seeps in through the seams, it creates a conductive path between the two poles of the electric grid, causing the rainwater to come into contact with the grid and thus damaging the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a pest trapping mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] Beneficial effects
[0017] This invention provides a trapping mechanism for an insect-trapping device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0018] (1) A pest trapping mechanism, which uses a rain cover, a waterproof cloth, a rain sensor, a connecting ring, and a threaded rod to automatically trigger the lowering of the waterproof cloth to completely cover the electric grid and the light-absorbing lamp, thereby preventing rainwater from directly contacting the electrical components, preventing safety hazards such as short circuits and leakage, and extending the service life of the equipment. The setting first cuts off the power grid when it rains, and restores the power supply after a delay after the rain stops, so as to avoid powering on before the rainwater is completely drained, and further ensure the safety of the equipment.
[0019] (2) A pest trapping mechanism that uses an insect-attracting lamp, an electric grid and a ring groove to attract pests by taking advantage of their phototaxis. The electric grid instantly kills the pests, and the insect corpses fall into the collection box through the ring groove, reducing the escape of pests and improving the trapping efficiency. Furthermore, by pulling the handle, the second connecting plate, the first connecting plate and the protective rod can be moved upward as a whole, which can quickly open the trapping mechanism. The collection box can be removed and the insect corpses can be cleaned without tools, reducing the maintenance workload. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0028] 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.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 A pest trapping mechanism includes a fixed base plate 1 and a rain cover 17. A rain sensor 16 is mounted on the rain cover 17. A waterproof cloth 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rain cover 17, and a connecting ring 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the waterproof cloth 18. A power supply is installed inside the rain cover 17, and a synchronous drive motor 23 is mounted at the bottom of the rain cover 17. A threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the synchronous drive motor 23. A connecting base plate 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 20 away from the synchronous drive motor 23. The connecting base plate 21 is threadedly connected to the fixed base plate 1. The rain sensor 16 is a raindrop sensor using existing technology.
[0031] The fixed base plate 1 has an installation groove 5, and a first connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 1. A limit plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting rod 3. The fixed base plate 1 is placed on the collection box 6, and the connecting ring 19 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20.
[0032] A slide rod 2 is slidably connected to the first connecting rod 3. A first connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the slide rod 2. An annular groove 9 is provided on the inner side of the first connecting plate 24. Protective rods 7 are fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the first connecting plate 24.
[0033] A second connecting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the protective rod 7. Several first connecting grooves 15 are opened on the second connecting plate 25. A second connecting rod 14 is threadedly connected to the first connecting groove 15. The second connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the rain cover 17. The electric grid 10 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second connecting plate 25.
[0034] The inner side of the second connecting plate 25 is provided with a threaded connecting groove 11, and a connecting block 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting groove 11. The first storage battery and the first controller are provided inside the connecting block 22. A handle 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 22. A second connecting rod 14 is provided on the lower side of the connecting block 22. An insect-attracting lamp 13 is provided at the bottom end of the second connecting rod 14. The insect-attracting lamp 13 is located inside the power grid 10. The first controller is electrically connected to the power grid 10.
[0035] The second connection plate 25 is equipped with a second controller 8, which is electrically connected to the power grid 10.
[0036] Working process: The first controller and the second controller 8 in the connecting block 22 enable the insect-attracting lamp 13 to generate a light source, which attracts pests. The electric grid 10 then shocks the pests, causing them to fall into the collection box 6 through the ring groove 9. By pulling the handle 12, the second connecting plate 25, the first connecting plate 24, and the protective rod 7 move upward, making it easy to open and remove the collection box 6 to clean up the insect carcasses.
[0037] When rainwater is detected by rainwater sensor 16, the rainwater sensor 16 is triggered, causing the second controller 8 to send a signal to the first controller, which then cuts off the power supply to the power grid 10. After a 5-second delay, the synchronous drive motor 23 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 20 drives the connecting ring 19 to move the waterproof cloth 18 downwards until it covers the entire mechanism, thereby preventing rainwater from contacting the power grid 10 and causing damage to the power grid lighting equipment. When the rainwater sensor 16 detects that the rainwater has decreased, after a 10-second delay, the power grid is restored, causing the synchronous drive motor 23 to drive the threaded rod 20 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the threaded rod 20 drives the connecting ring 19 to retract the waterproof cloth 18.
