Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mosquito trapping technology, and more specifically, to a mosquito trapping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Mosquitoes are carriers of many pathogens and can easily transmit a variety of diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya, seriously endangering human health.

[0003] Studies have found that high concentrations of carbon dioxide gas have a strong attractant effect on female mosquitoes, leading to the development of carbon dioxide-induced mosquito traps. Existing technologies such as those disclosed in publication numbers "CN117337814A" and "CN118370293A" describe such traps. Their working principle involves heating carbon dioxide trapping particles to release carbon dioxide, luring mosquitoes towards a high-voltage electric grid area, where they are then killed upon contact with the grid. However, in existing technologies, the carbon dioxide trapping particles are stored in a carbon dioxide storage box, and the heating element directly heats the particles. This results in uneven heating of the particles, with some particles not being heated sufficiently, affecting the effectiveness and efficiency of nitrogen dioxide release. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mosquito catcher to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art.

The motor is mounted on the bottom of the storage box to drive the stirring shaft to rotate. The fan assembly, the heating element, and the storage box are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the housing, and the high-voltage grid is disposed on the bottom of the housing. External air is heated by the heating element under the action of the fan assembly, then sent into the storage box and discharged from the bottom of the housing into the area surrounding the high-voltage grid.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mosquito trap includes a housing 1, a heating assembly 2, a fan assembly 3, a high-voltage grid 4, a storage box 5, and a stirring assembly 6. In practical applications, a support rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. Two support rods 11 are symmetrically arranged, and a base 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 11 to facilitate support for the entire mosquito trap. Casters can also be installed at the bottom of the base 12 to facilitate the movement of the entire mosquito trap.

[0018] Storage box 5 is used to store carbon dioxide capture particles (not shown in the figure). There are no restrictions on the material of the carbon dioxide capture particles, such as metal-organic framework particles (such as CCFM-1), covalent organic framework particles (such as COF-999), etc.

[0019] The fan assembly 3, heating assembly 2, and storage box 5 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the outer casing 1. The high-voltage grid 4 is located at the bottom of the outer casing 1. The external air is heated by the heating element under the action of the ventilation fan 301 and then sent into the storage box 5 and discharged from the bottom of the outer casing 1 into the inner area of ​​the high-voltage grid 4. Based on this, it should be understood that the top and bottom of the storage box 5 and the bottom of the outer casing 1 should all have ventilation holes. In actual application, the air enters the interior of the outer casing 1 under the action of the fan assembly 3. The heating assembly 2 heats the air to form hot air, and then the hot air heats the carbon dioxide capture particles, rather than directly heating the carbon dioxide capture particles, so that the carbon dioxide capture particles are heated more fully.

[0020] refer to Figure 4The stirring assembly 6 includes a motor 601, a stirring shaft 602, and stirring blades 603. The stirring shaft 602 is rotatably mounted inside the storage box 5, and the stirring blades 603 are mounted on the stirring shaft 602. The motor 601 is installed at the bottom of the storage box 5. When the motor 601 is working, it drives the stirring shaft 602 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring blades 603 to rotate and stir the carbon dioxide capture particles, making it easier for the carbon dioxide capture particles to be heated more evenly. It can be seen that in this utility model, the carbon dioxide capture particles are heated more fully and evenly, improving the carbon dioxide release effect and efficiency. Furthermore, the stirring blades 603 in the stirring assembly 6 are helical blades. This design facilitates the upward movement of carbon dioxide capture particles in contact with the stirring blades 603, while the outer carbon dioxide capture particles fall downward under the action of gravity, causing the carbon dioxide capture particles to circulate and tumble, resulting in a better stirring effect.

[0021] In practical applications, carbon dioxide particles release high concentrations of carbon dioxide upon heating and are emitted into the area surrounding the high-voltage grid 4, attracting mosquitoes to the area. Upon contact with the grid, the mosquitoes are killed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the high-voltage grid 4 works by using a transformer to step up household low-voltage electricity to 800-3000V (but with extremely low current), forming a positive and negative electrode pair. When a mosquito passes through and simultaneously contacts both electrodes, its body acts as a conductor, creating a circuit in the high-voltage electricity and instantly generating an electric arc discharge, killing the mosquito through high-temperature burning and electrical destruction.

[0022] It is worth noting that although the current generated by the high-voltage grid 4 is extremely small, ensuring safety for the human body and causing only a slight stinging sensation, this stinging sensation can still be uncomfortable. Therefore, in this embodiment, a protective net 8 is provided around the high-voltage grid 4 to prevent human contact with it. Alternatively, the protective net 8 is divided into two parts (see reference). Figure 5 Both parts are connected and fixed to the support rod 11 by screws.

[0023] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5The bottom of the protective net 8 is equipped with a mosquito-collecting frame 9 for collecting mosquito carcasses. Specifically, the mosquito-collecting frame 9 includes a frame body 901 and a base plate 902. The upper end of the frame body 901 is fixedly connected to the protective net 8, one end of the base plate 902 is hinged to the frame body 901 (e.g., via a hinge), and the other end of the base plate 902 is detachably connected to the frame body 901. This facilitates opening the base plate 902 to clean the mosquito carcasses. The method of detachable connection between the base plate 902 and the frame body 901 is not limited. For example, an insert plate can be provided on the base plate 902, and a socket can be provided on the frame body 901. The socket has a notch, and spring plungers are provided on both sides of the notch. After the insert plate is inserted into the notch of the socket, the connection between the base plate 902 and the frame body 901 is achieved by the spring plungers pressing into the grooves on the insert plate; another method is magnetic adsorption; yet another method is direct screw connection. In practical applications, a pull ring can also be provided at the end of the base plate 902 away from the hinge point to facilitate opening the base plate 902 downwards.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 As an alternative, in this embodiment, a mosquito-attracting lamp 10 is provided inside the high-voltage power grid 4, and the mosquito-attracting lamp 10 is installed on the bottom outer surface of the outer casing 1. It should be understood that the mosquito-attracting lamp 10 typically uses ultraviolet light or blue-violet light in the wavelength range of 365-400nm. Taking advantage of the sensitivity of most mosquitoes to this type of light, it can effectively attract mosquitoes and improve the mosquito-killing effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, a support box 7 with open ends is provided at the bottom inner side of the outer casing 1. The support box 7 is fixedly connected to the outer casing 1 (e.g., by welding, screw connection, adhesive bonding, etc.). The storage box 5 is placed inside the support box 7. The support box 7 is open at both ends and one side. The outer casing 1 has a retrieval opening corresponding to the opening on the side of the support box 7 for retrieving and placing the storage box 5. This arrangement facilitates the retrieval and placement of the storage box 5 through the retrieval opening, thereby facilitating the periodic replacement of carbon dioxide capture particles. In practical applications, a door 101 is provided at the retrieval opening. The door 101 can be equipped with a lock for protection. Further, refer to... Figure 4 The storage box 5 includes a cover 502 and a box body 501 with an open top. The cover 502 is fixedly connected (preferably by screws) to the top of the box body 501. A handle is provided on one side of the box body 501. It is easy to understand that the handle should face the door 101.

[0026] The top of the lid 502 is provided with a sealing ring groove, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing ring groove. After the storage box 5 is placed inside the support box 7, the sealing ring and the upper opening of the support box 7 form a seal to prevent air from flowing between the support box 7 and the storage box 5.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the fan assembly 3 includes a ventilation fan 301 (only the housing is shown in the figure), an air inlet box 302, and a cover plate 303. The air inlet box 302 is open at both the top and bottom. The ventilation fan 301 is installed at the lower open end of the air inlet box 302. The cover plate 303 is fixedly connected (e.g., by screw connection, snap connection, etc.) to the top of the air inlet box 302, and closes the top open end of the air inlet box 302. The upper outer side of the air inlet box 302 is provided with a skirt 3021 that abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1. An air intake gap is left between the cover plate 303 and the skirt 3021. The skirt 3021 and the side wall of the air inlet box 302 are provided with several through holes for air intake. Based on this, it is easy to understand that since the open end of the air inlet box 302 is closed by the cover plate 303, when the ventilation fan 301 is working, air first enters the interior of the housing 1 through the through holes of the skirt 3021, and then enters the interior of the air inlet box 302 through the through holes of the side wall of the air inlet box 302.

[0028] The specific structure of heating component 2 is not limited; any existing technology can be used. (Refer to...) Figure 6 For example, heating component 2 includes a support frame and several heating strips. Several slots are provided on the support frame, and the heating strips are placed in the slots. The heating strips include a strip body and an electric heating wire. The heating strips have a long strip structure, and the electric heating wires are embedded in the strip body. In practical applications, the upper end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the air inlet box 302, and the lower end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the support box 7. The preferred method of fixing is screw connection.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
