Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant protection technology, specifically to a surface arthropod odor trap. Background Technology

[0002] Arthropods are the most diverse and widely distributed phylum in the animal kingdom. Their bodies are segmented, as are their appendages, and they possess a hard exoskeleton. They molt periodically during their growth. They include insects (such as ants and butterflies), crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp), arachnids (such as spiders and scorpions), and myriapods (such as centipedes and millipedes). Arthropods are highly adaptable, inhabiting diverse environments, from land to water, and play important roles in ecosystems, such as pollination and decomposition of organic matter. Some species have close relationships with humans, serving as food, spreading diseases, or harming crops.

[0003] Among them, the odor trap for arthropods on the ground is a core device for ecological monitoring. However, the existing technology has significant shortcomings in terms of adaptability to multiple environments. First, the attraction method of traditional devices is too simple, usually relying only on ultraviolet lamps to utilize phototaxis, while ignoring the different response differences of different groups of arthropods to multiple inducements such as light signals, color stimuli and chemical pheromones. It cannot use phototaxis and color attraction in a coordinated manner for trapping. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.

[0021] An embodiment of the present invention is shown in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A surface arthropod scent trap includes a housing 1, on which two color plates 2 are detachably mounted. First magnetic stickers 10 are fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the housing 1. Second magnetic stickers, compatible with the first magnetic stickers 10, are fixedly connected to each of the two color plates 2. Several perforated elongated holes are formed on the front and back surfaces of the housing 1. An opening is formed at the top of the housing 1. A set of support pillars 11 are detachably mounted on the top of the housing 1. A solar panel 14 is fixedly mounted at the top of the set of support pillars 11. An insect-attracting light source 17 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the solar panel 14 and is positioned inside the housing 1 through the opening.

[0023] Specifically, the outer shell 1 is the main structure of the trap. The long, perforated holes on its front and back panels allow pests to enter while restricting their escape routes. These holes balance ventilation and concealment, ensuring odor diffusion while preventing excessive rainwater infiltration. The first magnetic stickers 10 on the left and right sides of the outer shell 1 cooperate with the second magnetic stickers on the color plate 2, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly of the color plate 2. The color plate 2 uses colors sensitive to pests, such as yellow and blue, to enhance the trapping effect through visual stimulation, especially targeting pests strongly attracted to color, such as aphids and whiteflies.

[0024] A battery and a controller are installed on the solar panel 14. A lamp head 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the solar panel 14, and an insect-attracting light source 17 is threadedly connected to the lamp head 16. A stabilizing arch 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the solar panel 14, and a hook 12 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the stabilizing arch 13. A control switch 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the solar panel 14.

[0025] A battery mounted on the solar panel 14 stores electrical energy, ensuring continuous power supply for the device at night or on cloudy days. The insect-attracting light source 17 uses a specific wavelength to adapt to the phototactic characteristics of different pests. The stabilizing arch 13 enhances its overall wind resistance, and the hooks 12 facilitate hanging spare parts or providing additional fixation. The control switch 15 allows manual adjustment of the light source mode, further improving the targeting of the trap.

[0026] A central support frame 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the outer shell 1. The top of the central support frame 9 is a cone, and the bottom of the central support frame 9 is provided with a threaded hole. A support platform 3 is fixedly connected to the central support frame 9. A set of collection boxes 4 are placed on the support platform 3. All of the collection boxes 4 are located inside the outer shell 1.

[0027] The conical top of the central support frame 9 prevents pests from getting stuck and guides them to slide down to the collection box 4 below. The support platform 3 provides a horizontal surface for the collection box 4, ensuring that pests fall into the box in a concentrated manner. The collection box 4 can hold sex pheromones, such as moth pheromones or food attractants like sugar-vinegar solution, to attract pests through scent. The collection box 4 is removable for easy periodic cleaning of the insects or replacement of the attractants.

[0028] The bottom end of the central support frame 9 is threadedly connected to a vertical pole 5. A riser tube 6 is fitted over the vertical pole 5, and a locking bolt 7 is threaded onto the riser tube 6. One end of the locking bolt 7 contacts the outer surface of the vertical pole 5. A plug rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the riser tube 6, and the plug rod 8 has three plugs. The telescopic structure of the vertical pole 5 and the riser tube 6, combined with the locking bolt 7, allows for stepless height adjustment, thus adapting to crop growth cycles or terrain differences. The three plugs at the bottom of the plug rod 8 enhance ground stability, making it particularly suitable for soft soil.

[0029] Working Principle: First, the device needs to be installed at the desired location. During installation, it can be directly inserted into the ground using the insertion rod 8. The height of the trap can be adjusted using the telescopic structure of the upright rod 5 and the riser 6 to adapt to different crops or terrains. The locking bolt 7 ensures a fixed height. During use, the solar panel 14 powers the insect-attracting light source 17, which emits light of specific wavelengths, such as ultraviolet or blue light, attracting phototactic pests such as moths and beetles. Furthermore, by installing detachable color plates 2 on both sides of the outer shell 1, using specific colors such as yellow or blue, the insects' color attraction enhances the trapping effect. Additionally, sex pheromones or food attractants can be placed in the collection box 4 to release specific odors, attracting pests into the device. Once the pests enter through the long, perforated holes on the outer shell 1, they are difficult to escape and eventually fall into the collection box 4. This device, through the synergistic effect of light, color, and odor trapping mechanisms, combined with solar power and an adjustable structure, achieves a highly efficient, energy-saving, and stable pest trapping effect.

[0030] 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.
