Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect trapping technology, specifically to a trapping device for insect resource surveys. Background Technology
[0002] Insects are one of the most diverse and numerous animal groups on Earth. Studying insects has significant scientific importance and practical application value. Common directions in insect research include: morphological research (observing the external morphological characteristics and internal anatomical structure of insects), phylogenetic research (such as DNA sequencing and genomic analysis), insect ecology (studying the distribution patterns of insects in different ecological environments), population dynamics research (analyzing changes in insect population size, reproductive patterns, and survival competition), ecological function research (pollinators, decomposers, and components of the food chain), and reproductive physiology research (exploring the structure of the insect reproductive system, the regulation of reproductive hormones, and the development and hatching of eggs). All of the above studies require the collection and trapping of different numbers of insects.
[0003] Insect trapping is a technique that attracts and captures insects using specific methods or devices. It is widely used in pest control, insect research, and specimen collection. Insect trapping methods include light trapping, chemical trapping, snare trapping, and net trapping. Different insects react differently to different trapping methods, so it is necessary to select the appropriate method based on the habits of the target insect. At the same time, insects' appendages and other distinctive features should be preserved during collection to facilitate subsequent identification. Insect trapping technology plays an important role in agricultural pest control, ecological research, and insect specimen collection. Choosing appropriate methods and techniques can improve trapping efficiency and reduce environmental impact. However, currently available insect trapping systems mostly use trapping nets combined with lights. After being trapped, insects easily escape from the top of the net opening, and in rainy weather, water easily accumulates in the trapping device, leading to a large number of insect deaths. Therefore, a trapping device for insect resource surveys is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0030] A trapping device for insect resource surveys includes: a trapping device body 1, the trapping device body 1 including a trapping net body 2 and a trapping collection box 3, the trapping net body 2 being installed on the upper side of the trapping collection box 3, the trapping net body 2 being used to trap flying insects, and the trapping collection box 3 being used to trap crawling insects.
[0031] The trapping net 2 has a cone-shaped structure that is wider at the bottom than at the top, facilitating the entry and collection of insects. The trapping net 2 includes a support frame 201, a trapping net 202, and bottom mounting screw holes 203. The trapping net 202 is installed on all four sides of the support frame 201, and the bottom mounting screw holes 203 are located on the lower side of the support frame 201. The trapping net 202 can be made of polyester non-woven fabric or ordinary breathable fabric coated with a waterproof coating. A certain amount of bait is filled inside the trapping net 202. The bait can be a sweet and sour solution made by mixing sugar, vinegar, and fermented fruits (such as bananas and peaches), which is very attractive to nocturnal lepidopteran insects, moths, and flies.
[0032] The upper opening of the trapping and storage box 3 is fitted with an upper closed cover 301, which is detachably connected to the trapping and storage box 3 for easy removal of the captured insects. The upper closed cover 301 has a trapping through-hole 302, and a nylon brush 303 is installed at the trapping through-hole 302. The bristles of the nylon brush 303 form a V-shaped structure, which facilitates insect entry into the trapping and storage box 3 and prevents insects from crawling out. The upper closed cover 301 has a lower mounting screw hole 304, to which a mounting screw 305 is connected. The mounting screw 305 connects to the bottom mounting screw hole 203 on the support frame 201. The inner wall of the trapping and storage box 3 is coated with petroleum jelly to prevent insects from crawling out.
[0033] A support pole 6 is installed on one side of the trapping net body 2. An installation mechanism 7 is installed on the support pole 6. An upper cover 5 is installed on the installation mechanism 7. A battery 501 and a black light 502 are installed on the upper cover 5. The installation mechanism 7 is used to drive the upper cover 5 to open or close the top opening of the trapping net body 2.
[0034] The trapping and storage box 3 has guide plates 4 on both sides to guide crawling insects into the trapping and storage box 3. The guide plate 4 includes a folding guide plate 401, a connecting shaft 402, and a rotating ear plate 403. Several folding guide plates 401 are rotatably connected to each other through the connecting shaft 402. Rotating ear plates 403 are installed on the upper two sides of the trapping and storage box 3. One end of the folding guide plate 401 is rotatably connected to the rotating ear plate 403. The trapping and storage box 3 uses the guide plates 4 to guide the insects, which can prevent the traditional trapping method from requiring glue to be applied inside to prevent the insects from escaping. Therefore, after trapping, the number of surviving insects can be maximized.
[0035] The mounting mechanism 7 is also equipped with a fixing strap 8 for installing and fixing the trapping device. The mounting mechanism 7 includes a mounting support frame 701, a movable sleeve 702, and a cover connecting frame 703. The mounting support frame 701 is installed on the trapping net body 2, and the movable sleeve 702 is vertically installed on the mounting support frame 701. A movable insert rod 704 is slidably connected inside the movable sleeve 702. The upper end of the movable insert rod 704 is connected to an upper cover 5 through the cover connecting frame 703. An electromagnet 706 is installed on the upper side wall of the movable insert rod 704, and a return spring 705 is installed on the lower side wall of the movable insert rod 704.
[0036] The battery 501 is electrically connected to the black light 502 and the electromagnet 706. A timing chip is connected between the battery 501, the black light 502, and the electromagnet 706. During the day, the electrical path between the battery 501 and the black light 502 is disconnected via the timing chip; at night, the electrical path between the battery 501 and the black light 502 is turned on. The timing chip between the battery 501 and the electromagnet 706 is used to set the time for collecting the trapped insects. When it is time to collect the trapped insects, the electrical path between the battery 501 and the electromagnet 706 is turned on, causing the upper cover 5 to completely cover the upper part of the trapping net 2, thus preventing the insects collected inside the trapping net 2 from escaping.
[0037] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] When using this trapping device to trap insects, first select the area where you want to collect insects, then apply petroleum jelly to the inner wall of the trapping collection box 3, and fill the trapping collection box 3 with bait. The bait inside the trapping collection box 3 can be fermented fruit with a high sugar content, which can attract most reptiles.
[0039] After the upper closed cover box 301 is snapped into the upper end of the trapping and storage box 3 and the assembly is completed, the guide plate 4 on the outside of the trapping and storage box 3 is first rotated to both sides by rotating the ear plate 403. After the multiple folding guide plates 401 are rotated by the connecting shaft 402, the guide plate 4 is placed on both sides of the trapping and storage box 3. The installation screw 305 is engaged with the bottom installation screw hole 203 and the lower installation screw hole 304 to complete the connection between the trapping net body 2 and the trapping and storage box 3.
[0040] After selecting a suitable tree trunk location and determining the overall installation height, the main body 1 of the trapping device, with one end of the supporting pole 6, is placed on the outside of the tree trunk. The fixing straps 8 are then secured to the outside of the tree trunk, ensuring that the lower ends of the two extended guide plates 4 just touch the ground. Simultaneously, a timing chip between the battery 501 and the black light 502 is set to control the electrical path between them. During the day, the electrical path between the battery 501 and the black light 502... The sexual pathway is disconnected, and insects are attracted by natural light and bait. At night, the electrical pathway between the battery 501 and the black light 502 is opened, and the battery 501 supplies power to the black light 502, causing it to emit light. The black light 502 is a commonly used trapping tool, and the ultraviolet light it emits has a strong attraction to many nocturnal insects. At the same time, depending on the phototaxis of the insects to be trapped, different lamps can be selected to attract insects with light of specific wavelengths (such as ultraviolet light, blue light, etc.).
[0041] By adjusting the timing chip between the battery 501 and the electromagnet 706, if it is necessary to collect insects at night, the power can be set before dawn to control the power supply time of the battery 501 to the electromagnet 706. When the set time is reached, the battery 501 will supply power to the electromagnet 706 to make it magnetic. Under the action of magnetic force, the electromagnet 706 will be attracted downward to the upper end of the movable sleeve 702, which will drive the upper cover 5 to cover the upper part of the trapping net 2, thereby effectively preventing the trapped insects from escaping from the inside of the trapping net 2.
[0042] When the trapping container 3 is filled with a trapping agent that emits an odor that attracts ground reptiles, the unfolded guide plate 4 on the outside of the trapping container 3 can be used to guide the insects. When the insects crawl to the trapping hole 302 on the upper surface of the upper closed cover 301, they can enter the trapping container 3. The petroleum jelly inside the trapping container 3 prevents the insects from crawling out. At the same time, the inner diameter of the lower end of the upper cover 5 is larger than the outer diameter of the upper end of the trapping net 2, so that when the cover is closed, the insects can enter the trapping container 3. The upper part of the net body 2 can achieve a good escape prevention effect. At the same time, the cover 5 can protect against rain. The waterproof coating applied to the side surface of the trap net 202 can prevent water from accumulating inside the trap net body 2, which would cause the collected insects to die. When the trap storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the trap net body 2 by the installation screw 305, the trap net body 2 can also protect the trap storage box 3 in rainy weather, which can prevent water from accumulating inside the trap storage box 3.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
