Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of termite monitoring technology, specifically relating to a multi-point termite monitoring system that integrates photovoltaic energy. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are social insects that live in colonies. They prefer warm, humid environments and typically inhabit warm, damp, and concealed places. Their diet consists mainly of plant cellulose and hemicellulose, and they play a vital role in accelerating the cycle of matter on the earth's surface, decomposing dead wood and promoting nutrient return, thus possessing significant ecological value. Termite colonies have a high reproductive rate, with their breeding season generally from April to June each year. Thousands of winged reproductive termites migrate from their original colonies to create new ones. However, because termites prefer warm temperatures and dislike cold, and rely on humid environments, they often maintain the moisture of their nests through water-absorbing trails. Their habitats are found in damp wood, leaky areas, or underground nests. They pose a significant threat to buildings, river embankments, stored goods, furniture, clothing, books, archives, agricultural and forestry crops, and communication facilities. Due to their large numbers, concealed activities, and difficulty in accurate and concentrated searches and capture, they can even corrode concrete, hence the saying, "A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an anthill." To control the harmful activities of large termite populations and protect the environment, it is necessary to implement measures such as attracting, monitoring, and control, and even extermination and pest control.

[0003] Traditional termite control often employs a chemical barrier method, spraying large amounts of pesticides into the soil to prevent termite damage. However, this can cause long-term harm to the soil and groundwater, and the actual effectiveness is difficult to assess. Modern methods often involve burying termite monitoring and control devices, allowing control measures to be implemented only when infestations are detected. This reduces the risks associated with pre-spraying pesticides. Existing intelligent termite monitoring devices typically include a casing, bait, sensors, batteries, and a communication module. They can quickly collect termite information from within the device using manual methods or specialized tools, periodically report the information to the system, and monitor and process it.

[0004] In addition, termites are photophobic, prefer to live in hiding, and have an extremely high reproductive rate. During their peak reproductive period, they are very active, swarming in all directions and exhibiting a strong phototaxis! Taking advantage of the phototaxis of winged adults during this swarming period is one of the best times to eliminate termites. Timely trapping and killing at this time can better control termite reproduction and damage.

[0005] Existing termite monitoring devices mainly have the following problems: 1. Termite monitoring is often based on monitoring with a single device rather than considering a system-wide monitoring approach. This requires personnel to conduct regular on-site inspections, resulting in poor timeliness and making it difficult for non-professionals to detect termite infestations in a timely manner. 2. Monitoring and early warning are often delayed and the location is inaccurate, which is not conducive to timely handling in the later stage; 3. Termites prefer to build nests and live underground. Termite detection devices are usually buried underground, and the damp underground environment can easily contaminate the monitoring unit, resulting in low detection accuracy. 4. In particular, the power supply unit of the monitoring device is easily affected by moisture or even rainwater due to its enclosed nature. As a result, the batteries often corrode and fail, making them unusable and polluting the local environment. 5. The monitoring and extermination functions are integrated, which means that the structure is complex and not suitable for underground buried use, and it is difficult to truly detect ant infestations and achieve good extermination results. 6. For monitoring termites, which have extremely high reproductive capacity, a systemic monitoring approach is needed. For example, there are few technical measures specifically designed for the peak termite breeding season, when winged adults are frequently active and flying around, to capture them and use light traps for extermination.

Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this utility model, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the multi-point termite monitoring system with centralized photovoltaic energy of this utility model consists of multiple termite monitoring devices 411, a solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2, an on-site vertical support 1, an on-site centralized acquisition and control box 3, a termite swarm monitoring camera 8, an infrared camera 5, a termite trapping unit 9, a remote monitoring and management system platform 6, an APP mobile terminal 7, a meteorological detection module 10, and an alarm.

[0030] The on-site vertical support 1 includes a main vertical support and several separate vertical supports. The main vertical support is used to install the solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2, the on-site centralized data acquisition and control box 3, the termite swarm monitoring camera 8, the infrared camera 5, the termite trapping unit 9, the weather detection module 10, and the alarm. The separate vertical supports are used for the combined installation and arrangement of the termite swarm monitoring camera 8 and the termite trapping unit 9, and can also be equipped with an alarm.

[0031] The solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2 is installed at the top of the main vertical support, collecting solar energy and converting it into DC power of appropriate voltage level to provide a continuous source of energy for the entire system.

[0032] The centralized data acquisition and control box 3 is installed in the middle of the main support rod of the main vertical support. The centralized data acquisition and control box 3 contains a control module and a solar power conversion circuit connected to the solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2. The control module includes a microprocessor main control unit and its connected communication gateway, display unit, on-site audible and visual alarm, signal acquisition and processing unit, termite monitoring input interface, control combination switch and control output interface, and flying ant monitoring input interface. The communication gateway is connected to the remote monitoring and management system platform 6. The termite monitoring input interface is electrically connected to the termite monitoring array 4. The control output interface is electrically connected to the termite trapping unit 9. The flying ant monitoring input interface is electrically connected to the termite swarm monitoring camera 8, infrared camera 5, and meteorological detection module 10. A timer 1 is installed between the microprocessor main control unit and the termite detection input interface connected to the termite monitoring array 4; a timer 2 is installed between the microprocessor main control unit and the control output interface of the termite trapping unit 9. The solar power circuit is a conventional DC-DC circuit, consisting of an MPPT charging unit and an energy storage unit, and is electrically connected to the microprocessor main control unit and the solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2. The signal acquisition and processing unit uses a (4G) Internet of Things (IoT) communication module. The MPPT charging unit stabilizes the DC power collected by the solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2 at the required operating voltage (around 12V) for timely power supply and charges the energy storage unit. The energy storage unit stores the 12V power to form a stable power supply and further filters and regulates the voltage to form a continuous power supply for subsequent use. The energy storage unit used in this embodiment is a supercapacitor. Combining the working characteristics of the termite monitoring device's monitoring signal, the timer can be set to work automatically at a fixed time every day or at a specific time, and the detection device can be put into sleep mode at other times to reduce power consumption. The signal acquisition and processor and the display (HMI human-machine interface) are responsible for collecting information from the detection module, repackaging and processing the required alarm information, and interconnecting with the remote monitoring and management system platform and APP mobile terminal 7 through the (4G) IoT communication module. The (4G) IoT communication module transmits the abnormal information collected and processed on-site to the background through the IoT, improving data effectiveness while saving data traffic. The meteorological detection module is set to activate the termite swarm monitoring camera 8 during the termite swarming season (April-June). Timer 2, in conjunction with the control combination switch, focuses on enabling various control and switching functions of the termite trapping unit 9 at night, improving the efficiency and energy saving of related units to monitor and trap flying ants during the swarming season. The on-site centralized data acquisition and control box 3 outputs through several sets of electrical connection cables 11. Each set of electrical connection cables 11 has a waterproof lead-out socket 411-1-3 at its output end, equipped with a waterproof lead-out plug 411-1-4. The electrical connection cables 11 are encased in protective tubing 411-1-5 to protect the cable infrastructure. The waterproof lead-out socket 411-1-3 and waterproof lead-out plug 411-1-4 are aviation plugs used for connecting various internal and external lines within the control box.

[0033] The main support frame is equipped with an infrared camera 5, a termite swarm monitoring camera 8, a termite trapping unit 9, and a weather detection module 10. The infrared camera 5 is a general-purpose panoramic real-time dynamic monitoring system that works around the clock. It can also work with the termite swarm monitoring camera 8 to monitor the dynamics of flying ants during the termite swarming period. The weather detection module 10 is used to monitor the weather at the monitoring site in a timely manner and provide on-site climate data and analysis basis for the remote monitoring and management system platform 6. In particular, it tracks the climate characteristics during the termite swarming period to support the timer 2 and control combination switch of the on-site centralized data acquisition and control box 2 to activate and deactivate the termite swarm monitoring camera 8 and the termite trapping unit 9 in a timely manner.

[0034] Termite swarm monitoring cameras 8 and termite trapping units 9 are installed on the main vertical support and several separate vertical supports. The termite swarm monitoring cameras 8 and termite trapping units 9 are used to monitor and lure termite breeding activity during peak periods, monitoring the dynamics of winged adults during the swarming period, initiating attraction, and timely extermination. The termite swarm monitoring cameras 8 are high-resolution cameras suitable for nighttime monitoring and tracking of flying insects and birds. They are used to monitor the swarming dynamics of winged adults during peak termite breeding periods and promptly report to the background monitoring system to track ant infestations and organize timely extermination, or to activate the termite trapping units 9 for on-site extermination. The termite trapping units 9 combine a special chromatic light source with on-site extermination functionality, utilizing the phototactic characteristics of swarming ants. Existing technologies include combinations of light attraction with powder spraying, electric shock extermination, and high-temperature extermination. This embodiment utilizes the advantages of centralized photovoltaic power supply and employs an electric shock extermination device. The termite trapping unit 9 utilizes a combination of control switches and timer 2 within the centralized on-site control box 3 to achieve various control and switching functions, including timed or on-demand dynamic switching, light attraction, and the extermination of swarming termites. Once activated, the termite trapping unit 9 attracts winged adults and kills them on-demand, specifically during peak termite reproductive periods to lure and kill swarming winged adults.

[0035] The display (HMI) is installed on the panel of the centralized data acquisition and control box 3 at the site, and is used for on-site setup, operation and control.

[0036] The termite monitoring device 411 includes a shell structure module 411-1, an attraction triggering module 411-2, a signal acquisition module 411-3, and an information transmission module 411-4. The attraction triggering module 411-2, the signal acquisition module 411-3, and the information transmission module 411-4 are installed inside the shell structure module 411-1. The shell structure module 411-1 includes an above-ground part and an underground part. The above-ground part includes a shell cover 411-1-1, and the underground part includes a shell body 411-1-6. A partition bracket 411-1-7 is located between the above-ground and underground parts. The partition bracket 411-1-7 is provided with input / output ports 411-5. The shell body 411-1-6 and the shell cover 411-1-1 are the same as those in the prior art.

[0037] The shell structure module 411-1 mainly consists of a shell body 411-1-6, a central partition bracket 411-1-7, a shell top cover 411-1-1, a functional compartment 411-1-8, a termite attracting compartment 411-1-9, and a through hole 411-1-10. The shell top cover 411-1-1 and the central partition bracket 411-1-7 are externally connected to form the upper functional compartment 411-1-8 of this utility model device, while the shell body 411-1-6 and the central partition bracket 411-1-7 are internally connected to form the lower termite attracting compartment 411-1-9. The shell top cover 411-1-1 and the shell body 411-1-6 are respectively tightly connected to the central partition bracket 411-1-7 to form a relatively enclosed spatial structure of this device. The through hole 411-1-10 is provided on the shell body 411-1-6. The upper part of the partition bracket 411-1-7 corresponding to the functional compartment 411-1-8 is provided with a mounting hole for the input / output port 411-5, which is installed in the mounting hole. The housing cover 411-1-1 has a mounting position for the positioning module 411-6. The positioning module 411-6 is a wireless geomagnetic sensor, which is installed on the housing cover 411-1-1.

[0038] The signal acquisition module 411-3 and the information transmission module 411-4 are housed within the functional compartment 411-1-8. A connecting signal line is provided between the signal acquisition module 411-3 and the attraction trigger module 411-2 to receive and process the bridge connectivity signals generated by termite infestation. The signal acquisition module 411-3 is electrically connected to the information transmission module 411-4 and the input / output port 411-5. Through interaction and comparison, the physical signals from the attraction trigger module 411-2 (acting as a termite infestation sensor) are processed, converted, and generated into stable termite infestation status data required by the RS485 standard communication protocol. This enhances the strength of remote signal transmission and transmits the status signals through the externally connected input / output port 5 to a local or remote centralized monitoring system outside the device, enabling intelligent monitoring. This allows for timely detection of termite monitoring status and the implementation of trapping, tracking, or extermination measures.

[0039] The information transmission module 411-4 consists of a signal decoding unit 411-4-1 and a transmission communication unit 411-4-2, which is existing technology. When the termite intrusion status transmitted by the signal acquisition module 411-3 to the inducing trigger module 411-2 causes the detection unit to fuse or trigger, the signal decoding unit 411-4-1 re-identifies and confirms, selects a valid signal to generate the preferred standard communication protocol signal of this invention, and transmits it to the transmission communication unit 411-4-2. The signal is then transmitted to a local or remote monitoring terminal outside the device via the input / output interface 411-5 for local or remote centralized monitoring. The preferred communication method for this device is wired communication in the field. The transmission communication unit 411-4-2 uses the standard RS485 serial communication protocol (such as the industrial-grade Modbus RTU485 application layer protocol used in this embodiment) for transmission, but RS232, RSA22, and other serial communication standard interfaces can also be used.

[0040] The input / output port 411-5 consists of a waterproof lead-out socket 411-1-3 and a waterproof lead-in plug 411-1-4. 411-1-3 and the waterproof lead-in plug 411-1-4 adopt commercially available aviation plugs. The waterproof lead-out socket 411-1-3 is installed on the side wall of the partition bracket 411-1-7 and connects to the electrical signal wire of the functional compartment 411-1-8. The waterproof lead-in plug 411-1-4 is pluggable and is used to transmit monitoring signals to local or remote centralized monitoring systems outside the device of this utility model. At the same time, it also provides power supply connection including centralized photovoltaic power supply to realize intelligent monitoring and provide continuous, stable and additional energy for the device of this utility model, ensuring that the device continues to work in an orderly manner.

[0041] Figure 8In one specific embodiment of the attraction triggering module 411-2, the attraction triggering module 411-2 includes an ant perception sensor composed of a first bait body 411-2-1, a conductor 411-2-2, a first signal recognition unit 411-2-3, and a first signal triggering terminal 411-2-4. The first bait body 411-2-1 and the conductor 411-2-2 are fixed relative to each other at the bottom of the partition bracket 411-1-7, with sufficient termite passages. Together with the multiple through holes 411-1-10 of the shell body 411-1-6, they form an ant bridge 411-1-2, which is installed in the attraction chamber 411-1-9 of the device. The first lure body 411-2-1 is structurally fixed to the partition bracket 411-1-7. A conductor 411-2-2 is installed between at least two first lure bodies 411-2-1, with electrical signal lines leading from its upper and lower ends. These lines pass through the lower part of the partition bracket 411-1-7 and are introduced into the functional compartment 411-1-8, connecting to the first signal recognition unit 411-2-3. Each first lure body 411-2-1 is composed of at least two pieces of pine wood. The conductor 411-2-2 is located inside the first lure body 411-2-1, preferably surrounded by it. Both ends of the conductor 411-2-2 are electrically connected to the first signal recognition unit 411-2-3 to form a closed loop. The first signal triggering end 411-2-4 is electrically connected to the first signal recognition unit 411-2-3, used to send ant infestation signals identified, processed, and confirmed by the lure triggering module 411-2 to the signal acquisition module 411-3. When the signal transmission module 411-4 receives an abnormal signal indicating termite intrusion from the signal acquisition module 411-3, it compares, calculates, and modulates the signal, then intermittently or continuously sends out termite intrusion display and alarm information, and uploads it to the local centralized monitoring system or the remote visual monitoring center, which is not limited here.

[0042] The first lure 411-2-1 is made of bait wood such as pine, elm, or eucalyptus, which termites prefer to attach to and eat. Pine is used here. The conductor 411-2-2 is made of graphite or similar materials and has a slender, thin sheet structure. Here, conductive graphene paper, which termites prefer to gnaw on, is used. Wires are connected to both ends of the conductor, which is vertically sandwiched between multiple first lures 411-2-1 to increase the area easily adhered to by termites and accelerate the triggering of the conductor's disconnection signal. The conductor 411-2-2 can also be a conductive coating, directly attached to the inner or outer side of the first lure 411-2-1. The two ends of the conductor 411-2-2 can also be connected and fixed to the signal line by adhesive or soldering, etc., which is not limited here.

[0043] Furthermore, the first bait body 411-2-1 can be composed of multiple bait logs combined to form a grid structure, with multiple conductors 411-2-2 installed at intervals to improve the termite status monitoring effect of the attraction triggering module 411-2. The multiple conductors 411-2-2 in the attraction triggering module 411-2 are connected in series, which increases the timeliness of the termite detection response.

[0044] Figure 9 This is another specific embodiment of the ant attraction triggering module 411-2. The ant sensing sensor, composed of the ant attraction triggering module 411-2, the second lure body 411-2-5, the magnetic bead 411-2-6, the second signal recognition unit 411-2-7, and the second signal triggering end 411-2-8, differs from the previous embodiment in that one end of each lure wood in the second lure body 411-2-5 is hollowed out to form an inner cavity for placing the magnetic bead 411-2-6 (or selectively installed). Multiple lures are combined to form a grid structure, and the end containing the magnetic bead 411-2-6 is fastened to the bottom of the partition bracket 411-1-7 and installed inside the lure bin 411-1-9. In the functional compartment 411-1-8 above the partition bracket 411-1-7, a magnetic switch is provided at the corresponding position of the second signal recognition unit 411-2-7 to sense the dynamic position of the corresponding magnetic bead 411-2-6 installed in the lure bin 411-1-9. When termites enter and gnaw on the bait wood, causing the magnetic bead 411-2-6 to fall, the corresponding magnetic switch in the second signal recognition unit 411-2-7 changes from open circuit to closed circuit, thus determining the termite intrusion and transmitting the signal through the second signal trigger terminal 411-2-8 to the signal acquisition module 411-3. Unlike the previous embodiment, the bait trigger module 411-2 does not require a conductor 411-2-2 and connecting wires within the bait bin 411-1-9, meaning it does not form a direct electrical loop, resulting in lower power loss. This avoids problems such as the inability to send a timely judgment signal even when termites have already gnawed and broken the bait due to the presence of conductive media in the mud or water. This magnetic induction-type termite perception sensor solution is existing technology and will not be further elaborated here.

[0045] Furthermore, when the second lure body 411-2-5 has multiple lures containing multiple magnetic beads 411-2-6 arranged in a grid structure, the second signal recognition unit 411-2-7 installed in the functional compartment 411-1-8 has multiple magnetic switches arranged in conjunction with the magnetic beads 411-2-6 at corresponding positions, and the multiple magnetic switches are connected in parallel.

[0046] The technical solution of this intelligent termite monitoring device adopts a combination of wired transmission of monitoring signals and geomagnetic positioning wireless communication, which overcomes the problems of weak termite signals, inaccurate transmission, and the inability to locate the device itself after a long period of time when it is installed in the field in existing intelligent monitoring devices, thus significantly enhancing its practicality.

[0047] Several termite monitoring devices 411 are installed at the required monitoring site. Electrical signals are led out through waterproof aviation sockets and transmitted to the on-site centralized data acquisition and control box 3. The termite monitoring devices 411 are spaced 5-10 meters apart. Every 8-10 termite monitoring devices 411 form a termite monitoring unit 412. Several termite monitoring units 412 are connected in parallel to form a termite monitoring array 4. They are electrically connected to each other, using single parallel connection and single group parallel connection. The communication connection between them uses RS485 parallel communication, which facilitates synchronous transmission, reduces signal attenuation, and ensures that the monitoring status of each termite monitoring device 411 in the network is transmitted to the on-site centralized data acquisition and control box 3 in a timely manner, and communicates centrally to the remote monitoring and management system platform 6.

[0048] The termite status sensors of each termite monitoring device 411 are used to monitor whether termites have entered. The analog communication module is used to process and transmit termite entry signals, and converts the physical signals of the sensors of each termite monitoring device 411 into standard communication protocols in order to achieve stable and reliable interconnection.

[0049] The centralized on-site data acquisition and control box 3 serves as the primary monitoring center of this system. It collects and processes various signals from the on-site termite monitoring array and provides timely responses, including on-site monitoring and extermination during the critical termite swarming season. Simultaneously, it transmits information to the higher-level remote monitoring and management system platform 6 for decision-making and response. The centralized on-site data acquisition and control box 3, the remote monitoring and management system platform 6, and the APP mobile terminal 7 are used for real-time reception, querying, and tracking of termite monitoring data. They communicate wirelessly via Wi-Fi, ensuring stable communication and conserving resources.

[0050] Since termite prevention areas are mostly in the wild, building and installing a multi-point termite monitoring system with centralized photovoltaic energy in such places can make full use of the advantages of renewable solar energy. It can not only replace the limited capacity and easily damaged batteries that existing monitoring devices can be equipped with, and achieve a more stable power supply for basic monitoring functions and effective communication of monitoring status, but also meet the greater power supply needs of different high-power monitoring and extermination devices. This includes making it possible to carry out centralized on-site, non-toxic extermination of winged adults during swarming, while avoiding environmental pollution. It achieves the integration of termite monitoring, winged adult extermination, and environmentally friendly practices.
