Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pest control technology, and in particular to a drowning-type solar-powered portable insect attractant. Background Technology

[0002] The main pests affecting macadamia trees belong to the orders Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera. These pests feed on the branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits of the macadamia tree. Due to pest infestation, the fruits lose a significant amount of nutrients, making further growth difficult, resulting in large-scale fruit drop and rotting. Furthermore, the pests release various toxins while consuming the kernels. These toxins enter the macadamia tree, damaging the overall health of the tree. If pests are not controlled promptly and effectively, overall economic benefits will decline drastically.

[0003] In China, pest control for macadamia nuts mainly relies on chemical pesticides, such as cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, and trichlorfon. However, these methods pose significant environmental risks and are detrimental to biodiversity conservation.

[0004] Furthermore, macadamia nuts in China are mainly grown in the mountainous areas of Yunnan Province. These areas are located at the junction of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southwestern my country, resulting in extremely complex natural conditions. Mountainous areas account for approximately 94% of the province's total area, while relatively flat plains comprise only 6%. The complex and diverse topography of these mountainous regions makes pest control difficult and incurs significant costs in terms of manpower and resources. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable, water-based solar-powered insect-attracting device that kills pests using physical means, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0007] This utility model discloses a portable, drowning-type solar-powered insect-attracting device, comprising:

[0008] The bucket has yellow sticky traps attached to the upper inner wall and the outer wall, and the lower inner wall is used to hold dish soap.

[0009] An insect-attracting lamp, located on the upper side of the barrel, is used to provide light to the inner side of the barrel.

[0010] A photovoltaic module, located above the insect-attracting lamp, is used to provide illumination to the barrel.

[0011] An energy storage unit, electrically connected to the photovoltaic module, is used to store electrical energy;

[0012] A photosensitive switch is electrically connected to both the energy storage unit and the insect-attracting lamp, and is used to turn on when the ambient light is dim.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of uprights are fixed to the bottom of the barrel, and a pointed cone with its tip pointing downwards is fixed to the lower end of each upright, the pointed cone being used to insert into the soil.

[0014] Preferably, the photovoltaic module is fixed on a support, which includes several columns, and the lower end of each column is fixed with a pointed cone pointing downwards, which is used to insert into the soil.

[0015] Preferably, the drowning-type solar-powered portable insect attractor further includes a lamp holder, the insect attracting lamp is fixed on the lamp holder, the lamp holder is slidably mounted on the second column in the vertical direction, and the lamp holder can be placed on the upper edge of the barrel.

[0016] Preferably, the sidewall of the barrel is cylindrical; the number of the two columns is three, and they are distributed in an equilateral triangle on the outside of the barrel; the lamp holder is an equilateral triangle, and the three columns are located on the inside of the three corners of the lamp holder.

[0017] Preferably, there are three pillars, which are arranged in an equilateral triangle on the inner side of the vertical projection of the barrel sidewall.

[0018] Preferably, the insect-attracting lamp is fixedly connected to the lamp holder by bolts and nuts, and the lamp holder is provided with mounting holes for the bolts to pass through.

[0019] Preferably, a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the side wall of the barrel, a filter screen is fixed inside the drain pipe, and a valve or sealing plug is fixed to the outer end of the drain pipe.

[0020] Preferably, both the first and second pointed cones are made of stainless steel.

[0021] Preferably, two handles are fixed on the upper edge or outer wall of the barrel, and the two handles are symmetrically arranged about the center face of the barrel.

[0022] This utility model achieves the following technical advantages compared to related technologies:

[0023] When pests are attracted to the yellow color of the sticky trap and approach, they become stuck and cannot escape, thus achieving the purpose of physical pest control. Its sticky adhesive layer has strong adhesion and is usually resistant to rain washout, maintaining its stickiness for a certain period and continuing to function.

[0024] Yellow sticky traps are more effective at attracting insects during the day, but their effectiveness is less at night due to the dim lighting.

[0025] This invention incorporates an insect-attracting lamp that illuminates the container below, increasing the brightness of the yellow sticky trap at night and enhancing its insect-attracting effect. Furthermore, the lamp's own light attracts insects, combining the yellow sticky trap's yellow color with the lamp's light at night.

[0026] This invention fills the bottom of the bucket with dish soap. The surfactant in the dish soap can significantly reduce the surface tension of the liquid, so that once the wings and body of the pests come into contact with the liquid, they will be quickly "soaked", lose buoyancy, be unable to struggle, and eventually sink into the liquid and drown, thus improving the success rate of trapping.

[0027] Because the detergent is only located at the bottom of the container, it avoids wetting the upper insect-attracting yellow sticky trap, allowing it to remain sticky for a longer time and thus better trapping pests. Additionally, the photovoltaic modules above block rainwater, reducing the amount of rainwater falling on the trap and further maintaining its stickiness.

[0028] The photosensitive switch switches its conduction state according to changes in ambient light, thus turning off during the day when the light is bright and turning on at night or on cloudy days when the light is dim, achieving automatic adjustment without manual intervention and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable, water-based solar-powered insect-attracting device that kills pests using physical means, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a portable solar-powered insect-attracting device for drowning, including a barrel 7, an insect-attracting lamp 5, a photovoltaic module 1, an energy storage unit, and a photosensitive switch.

[0036] The upper inner wall and outer wall of the bucket 7 are covered with yellow sticky traps for attracting insects, while the lower inner wall is used to hold detergent. An insect-attracting lamp 5 is located on the upper side of the bucket 7 to provide illumination to the inside of the bucket 7. A photovoltaic module 1 is located above the insect-attracting lamp 5 to provide illumination to the bucket 7. An energy storage unit is electrically connected to the photovoltaic module 1 to store electrical energy. A photosensitive switch is electrically connected to both the energy storage unit and the insect-attracting lamp 5 to activate the switch when the ambient light is dim.

[0037] The working principle of this drowning-type solar-powered portable insect-attracting device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] The principle behind yellow sticky traps for pests is based on the attraction of pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips to yellow. A special adhesive layer is coated on the surface of the yellow trap. When pests are attracted to the yellow color and approach, they become stuck and cannot escape, thus achieving the purpose of physical pest control. The adhesive layer has strong adhesion and is usually resistant to rain washing, maintaining its stickiness for a certain period of time and continuing to be effective.

[0039] Yellow sticky traps are more effective at attracting insects during the day, but their effectiveness is less at night due to the dim lighting.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting up an insect-attracting lamp 5, the insect-attracting lamp 5 illuminates the bucket 7 below, which not only increases the brightness of the insect-attracting yellow sticky trap at night, thus improving the insect-attracting effect of the yellow sticky trap, but also attracts insects through the insect-attracting light of the insect-attracting lamp 5 itself. Thus, at night, the yellow insect-attracting effect of the insect-attracting yellow sticky trap and the insect-attracting light of the insect-attracting lamp 5 are combined.

[0041] It should be noted that pure water has a high surface tension. When pests (especially smaller moths and flies) land on the water's surface, they may only get wet and not sink immediately, and may even struggle to escape. In this embodiment, by filling the lower part of the bucket 7 with dish soap, the surfactants in the dish soap can significantly reduce the surface tension of the liquid. This causes the pests' wings and bodies to be quickly "soaked" upon contact with the liquid, losing buoyancy, unable to struggle, and ultimately sinking to their deaths, thus increasing the success rate of trapping.

[0042] Because the detergent is only located at the bottom of the container 7, it avoids wetting the upper insect-attracting yellow sticky trap, allowing it to remain sticky for a longer time and thus better adhere to pests. Additionally, the photovoltaic module 1 above blocks rainwater, reducing the amount of rainwater falling on the trap, further ensuring its stickiness.

[0043] The photosensitive switch switches its conduction state according to changes in ambient light, thus turning off during the day when the light is bright and turning on at night or on cloudy days when the light is dim, achieving automatic adjustment without manual intervention and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0044] Understandably, the photosensitive switch should be located in an area not illuminated by the insect-attracting lamp 5, thus preventing the photosensitive switch from being disconnected when the insect-attracting lamp 5 is turned on. The energy storage unit can be a lead-acid battery or a lithium battery.

[0045] The amount of dish soap can be selected according to actual needs, for example, the filling depth can be half or one-third of the depth of the bucket.

[0046] In some examples, the bottom of the barrel 7 is fixed with several uprights, and the lower end of each upright is fixed with a pointed cone pointing downwards, which is used to insert into the soil.

[0047] This method of fixing the cone into the ground is more adaptable to uneven terrain such as mountains, and it also improves the fixing effect in strong winds and heavy rain.

[0048] In some examples, the photovoltaic module 1 is fixed to a support, which includes several columns 2 4. The lower end of each column 2 4 is fixed with a pointed cone 2 6 with its tip pointing downwards. The pointed cone 2 6 is used to insert into the soil.

[0049] Similarly, by fixing the cone 26 into the soil in this way, it is better adapted to uneven ground environment on the one hand, and the fixing effect can be improved in strong wind and heavy rain weather on the other hand.

[0050] In some examples, the drowning-type solar-powered portable insect attractant also includes a lamp holder 2, with an insect attractant lamp 5 fixed to the lamp holder 2. The lamp holder 2 is slidably mounted on the column 4 in the vertical direction and can be erected on the upper edge of the barrel 7.

[0051] The lamp holder 2 is installed by sliding it up and down, so its height can be adjusted to ensure that the lamp holder 2 can be erected on the upper edge of the barrel 7, thereby reducing the distance between the insect-attracting lamp 5 and the barrel 7 and improving the lighting effect of the insect-attracting lamp 5 on the inside of the barrel 7.

[0052] In some examples, the sidewalls of the barrel 7 are cylindrical. There are three pillars 4, arranged in an equilateral triangle on the outside of the barrel 7. The lamp holder 2 is an equilateral triangle, with the three pillars 4 located on the inside of the three corners of the lamp holder 2.

[0053] By adopting this arrangement, the rotation of the lamp holder 2 is restricted by the three corners of the three columns 24. Furthermore, by utilizing the characteristic that all three sides of the lamp holder 2 span the upper edge of the barrel 7, it is ensured that all three sides of the lamp holder 2 can be placed on the upper edge of the barrel 7, thereby improving the stability of the lamp holder 2.

[0054] In some examples, there are three pillars, which are arranged in an equilateral triangle on the inner side of the vertical projection of the side wall of the barrel 7.

[0055] Depending on the actual needs, those skilled in the art may also choose other quantities and distribution forms of the columns.

[0056] In some examples, the insect-attracting lamp 5 is fixedly connected to the lamp holder 2 by bolts 3 and nuts, and the lamp holder 2 is provided with mounting holes through which the bolts 3 pass.

[0057] After the bolt 3 passes through the mounting holes of the insect-attracting lamp 5 and the lamp holder 2, it is threaded into the nut to fix the insect-attracting lamp 5.

[0058] For example, the lamp holder 2 is provided with two mounting holes, which are at the same height.

[0059] For example, the lamp holder 2 is made of bent metal plate with its two ends welded together, and then slidably fitted onto the outside of the three columns 2 4.

[0060] In some examples, a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the side wall of the barrel 7, a filter screen is fixed inside the drain pipe, and a valve or sealing plug is fixed to the outer end of the drain pipe.

[0061] After the valve or sealing plug is opened, the detergent in the tank 7 is discharged out through the drain pipe, while the dead insects are left in the tank 7 due to the filter screen, which facilitates subsequent statistical analysis of the types and quantities of insects and specimen preparation.

[0062] In some examples, both cone one and cone two are made of stainless steel to delay corrosion and extend service life.

[0063] In some examples, two handles are fixed on the upper edge or outer wall of the barrel 7, and the two handles are symmetrically arranged about the center face of the barrel 7.

[0064] By providing a handle, staff can easily grasp the container 7 when moving it, preventing their hands from getting stuck to the yellow sticky trap.

[0065] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
