Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit fly trapping, and in particular to a fruit fly trapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit flies are a global pest that can damage healthy, mature or semi-mature fruits. The female adult fruit fly has a large, hard, sharp, and serrated ovipositor that can pierce the fruit peel to lay eggs inside the fruit. The larvae feed inside the fruit, causing damage and making the fruit rot rapidly. In areas where fruit fly infestation is severe, it can lead to large-scale crop failure and economic losses.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222017544U, which discloses a fruit fly trap. This patent includes a bottle body and a cap.

The bottle body has a connecting cap that matches the mounting cap. This device allows for easy assembly and disassembly via the mounting cap and connecting cap, enabling users to quickly and easily add the bait and clean the inside of the trap. The device also... A fly attractant liquid level detection and warning system was designed. By detecting the fly attractant in the bottle, a conspicuous warning light is emitted when the liquid level is low due to evaporation. The device has a simple structure, is easy to add liquid, and is more convenient to use. However, existing fruit fly trapping devices require frequent replenishment of liquid attractant by staff, and it is difficult to kill fruit flies that enter the trap in a timely and thorough manner. There is a lack of corresponding automatic liquid attractant replenishment methods and methods to kill fruit flies. After long-term use, the device is difficult to maintain and clean, which affects the fruit fly trapping effect and is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figure 1 — Figure 6As shown, a fruit fly trap includes a trapping box 101 with several annularly arranged trapping holes 102 on its side. A suspension mechanism is detachably connected to the top of the trapping box 101. The suspension mechanism includes a top cover 201, which is threadedly connected to the top of the trapping box 101. A mounting shell 202 is bolted to the top cover 201. A lifting mechanism is installed inside the mounting shell 202, including an electric push rod 301 powered by a battery assembly (not shown). The battery assembly is installed inside the electric push rod 301, which is bolted to the mounting shell 202. An installation rod 302 is bolted to the output end of the electric push rod 301. Absorbent cotton 306 is adhered to the installation rod 302. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different device or mechanism.) The absorbent cotton 306 is fixed by Velcro or by directly attaching it to the mounting rod 302 with waterproof adhesive. The absorbent cotton 306 is stably connected to the side of the mounting rod 302. During normal use, the absorbent cotton 306 contains liquid attractant. The bottom of the trap box 101 is detachably connected to a collection mechanism, which includes a bottom shell 401. A mounting ring 402 is bolted to the bottom shell 401 and threaded to the bottom of the trap box 101. A connecting frame 103 is bolted to the inner wall of the bottom of the trap box 101. A storage tube 404 is detachably connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 103. The storage tube 404 is located directly below the mounting rod 302 and contains liquid attractant, such as sugar-vinegar or fly attractant ketone.

[0027] In this embodiment, a scraper 304 is bolted to the top side of the mounting rod 302, and a pressure block 305 that cooperates with the connecting frame 103 is bolted to the bottom of the scraper 304. When it is necessary to replenish the liquid attractant on the absorbent cotton 306, the electric push rod 301 pushes the mounting rod 302 down, and the mounting rod 302 drives the scraper 304 and the absorbent cotton 306 down. The scraper 304 can scrape the inner wall of the trap box 101, and the pressure block 305 can press the fruit flies that are still alive in the trap box 101 onto the bottom shell 401 to ensure that all fruit flies are killed. The absorbent cotton 306 is immersed in the storage tube 404 to replenish the liquid attractant.

[0028] In this embodiment, a rubber plug 303 with the same shape as the opening of the storage tube 404 is glued to the bottom of the mounting rod 302. The bottom and top of the rubber plug 303 can be tapered to ensure the sealing effect of the storage tube 404. During the trapping stage, the rubber plug 303 can block the opening of the storage tube 404 to prevent the liquid trapping agent in the storage tube 404 from evaporating.

[0029] In this embodiment, an inner ring 403 is welded to the center of the bottom shell 401. The inner ring 403 cooperates with the center part of the connecting frame 103. The setting of the inner ring 403 ensures the installation stability of the storage tube 404.

[0030] In this embodiment, a hook 203 is bolted to the top of the mounting shell 202, which allows the trapping box 101 to be suspended at the fruit fly trapping position.

[0031] In this embodiment, the top of the connecting frame 103 is provided with a chamfer 104 to prevent fruit fly carcasses from falling onto the connecting frame 103.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom of the connecting frame 103 is connected to an elastic scraper 105 by bolts. The elastic scraper 105 is designed so that when the workers disassemble the bottom shell 401, the fruit fly carcasses inside the bottom shell 401 can be scraped into a pile for easy collection.

[0033] Working principle: In the initial state, the top cover 201, the trap box 101, and the bottom shell 401 are separated. After moving each component to the fruit fly trapping position, the top cover 201 is first rotated and installed onto the trap box 101. Then, the output shaft of the electric push rod 301 is extended, and the electric push rod 301 pushes the mounting rod 302 to move outward from the trap box 101. Then, the bottom shell 401 and the inner ring 403 are fitted onto the mounting rod 302, and the bottom shell 401 is rotated so that the mounting ring 402 is installed on the trap. The liquid attractant is placed on the box 101, and then the storage tube 404 containing the liquid attractant is moved along the mounting rod 302 and installed at the center of the connecting frame 103, so that the absorbent cotton 306 on the mounting rod 302 is completely soaked in the liquid attractant. After installation, the output end of the electric push rod 301 retracts, driving the electric push rod 301 and the absorbent cotton 306 to move to the inside of the trapping box 101, and the hook 203 on the top cover 201 is hung at the fruit fly trapping position to start the trapping operation. The liquid attractant on the absorbent cotton 306... The liquid attractant evaporates into the air, attracting fruit flies which then enter the trapping box 101 through the trapping hole 102. Because the diameter of the trapping hole 102 is small, the fruit flies are difficult to escape once inside, achieving the trapping effect. The operator needs to set the electric push rod 301 to start at a set time. The electric push rod 301 pushes the mounting rod 302 down, which in turn lowers the scraper 304 and absorbent cotton 306. The scraper 304 scrapes and presses against the inner wall of the trapping box 101. The device 305 can press the surviving fruit flies in the trap box 101 onto the bottom shell 401, completely killing the fruit flies in the trap box 101. At the same time, the mounting rod 302 drives the rubber stopper 303 and the absorbent cotton 306 to be inserted into the storage tube 404, so that the absorbent cotton 306 is replenished with liquid attractant. Then the output end of the electric push rod 301 retracts to continue trapping fruit flies. The staff only needs to periodically remove the storage tube 404 to replenish the liquid attractant and remove the bottom shell 401 to clean up the dead fruit flies.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
