Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to fruit fly trapping technology, and in particular to a fruit fly trap that can be conveniently and effectively concealed. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional fruit fly traps contain a trapping solution and have inlet / outlet holes that allow fruit flies to enter and be trapped. However, when pesticides are sprayed, they can easily enter the inlet / outlet holes of traditional fruit fly traps, contaminating the trapping solution and causing it to deteriorate and lose its effectiveness. Detailed structures of these traditional fruit fly traps can be found in Taiwan utility model patents Nos. 366709, 529350, M323808, and M508209.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, when spraying pesticides, traditional fruit fly traps could be sealed with plastic bags to prevent pesticides from entering the inlet and outlet. The plastic bag could then be removed after spraying. However, using plastic bags is time-consuming and laborious to set up and remove, and used plastic bags are easily discarded, which is not only environmentally unfriendly but also causes secondary pollution. Therefore, traditional fruit fly traps still need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the main objective of this invention is to provide a fruit fly trap that can be easily and quickly covered to prevent sprayed pesticides from contaminating the trapping liquid through the inlet and outlet.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the fruit fly trap provided by this utility model includes a top cover, a connecting cap, and a cover. The top cover has a top; the connecting cap is attached to the top cover and located below the top; the connecting cap has a top, a perimeter attached to the top and for connecting a container, a connecting hole formed within the perimeter and for connecting the container, a bottom edge formed at the bottom of the perimeter, and an inlet / outlet hole penetrating the top and connecting the connecting hole; the cover is removably fitted over the top cover; the cover has a top located above the top of the top cover, a perimeter attached to the top, and a bottom edge formed at the bottom of the perimeter; the perimeter extends downward around the top cover and around the perimeter of the connecting cap, and the bottom edge of the cover is lower than the bottom edge of the connecting cap.

[0006] By completely covering the connecting cap with the edge of the mask, that is, the bottom edge of the mask is lower than the bottom edge of the connecting cap, the sprayed pesticides can be effectively prevented from entering the connecting hole through the inlet and outlet holes and thus contaminating the trapping liquid contained in the container. Moreover, the mask can be easily and quickly covered onto the top cover, thereby achieving the purpose of this utility model.

[0007] Preferably, the upper cover has a cover periphery attached to the periphery of the top of the cover, and a cover bottom edge is formed at the bottom of the cover periphery. The cover bottom edge is lower than the inlet and outlet hole of the connecting cap, so that the cover bottom edge provides a shielding effect on the inlet and outlet hole of the connecting cap.

[0008] Preferably, the cover has a textured surface around its perimeter, and the inner wall of the cover edge abuts against the textured surface of the cover. Thus, when the cover is placed over the upper cover, it can be securely positioned on the upper cover.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the cover fits tightly against the top of the shield to prevent pesticides from entering between the top of the cover and the top of the shield.

[0010] Preferably, the upper cover has a first hanging part located on the top of the cover, and the cover has an escape hole penetrating the top of the cover. The first hanging part of the upper cover passes through the escape hole of the cover, so as to facilitate the combination and separation of the upper cover and the cover.

[0011] Preferably, the cover has a second hanging portion located on top of the cover. This facilitates the hanging of the cover when it is removed from the top cover.

[0012] Preferably, the first hanging part of the upper cover is provided with a first through hole, and the second hanging part of the cover is provided with a second through hole. The first through hole of the upper cover corresponds to the second through hole of the cover, so that both the upper cover and the cover can be easily hung.

[0013] Preferably, the container has a connecting cap, and the connecting cap has a lower connecting portion disposed around the cap for connecting the connecting cap to the container, so that the inlet / outlet hole communicates with the container through the connecting hole. This facilitates the assembly and use of the connecting cap and the container.

[0014] Preferably, the container has a shoulder, and the bottom edge of the shield is used to abut against the shoulder of the container. Thus, the shield, together with the container, can completely seal the top cover and the connecting cap, thereby improving the effectiveness of preventing pesticides from entering.

[0015] Preferably, the upper cover has a central post, ribs, and multiple locking claws; the connecting cap has a post hole, a slot, and multiple locking holes; the central post is inserted into the post hole, the ribs are inserted into the slot, and each locking claw is engaged in the locking hole. Thus, the upper cover and the connecting cap can be detachably connected, and the upper cover and the connecting cap can be better assembled and are more stable after assembly.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 8 The fruit fly trap provided in a preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a top cover 10, a connecting cap 20, a cover 30, and a container 40.

[0029] The top cover 10 has a top 11, a first hanging part 12, a cover perimeter 13, a bottom edge 131, a central column 15, multiple ribs 16, and multiple claws 17. The top 11 is conical, and the first hanging part 12 is attached to the middle of the top 11. The first hanging part 12 has a first through hole 121 for hanging ropes or hooks on plants or trellises. The cover perimeter 13 is cylindrical and is attached to the lower perimeter of the top 11. The bottom edge 131 is formed at the bottom of the cover perimeter 13. The central column 15 is attached to the middle of the bottom of the top 11. The ribs 16 protrude from the bottom surface of the top 11 in a cross shape and connect to the central column 15. The claws 17 are attached to the lower part of the ribs 16. The outer surface of the cover perimeter 13 has textured surfaces for easy handling and locking.

[0030] In addition to being sheet-like and having a first perforation 121 as shown in the figure, the first hanging part 12 can also be a hook or similar structure that can be directly hooked onto plants or trellises.

[0031] The connecting cap 20 has a cap top 21, a cap perimeter 22, a connecting hole 23, a lower part 24, a post hole 25, multiple slots 26, multiple locking holes 27, and multiple inlet / outlet holes 28. The cap top 21 corresponds to the area below the cap top 11 of the upper cover 10, and the cap perimeter 22 is circumferentially connected to the area below the perimeter of the cap top 21. The connecting hole 23 is formed within the cap perimeter 22, and the lower part 24 has an internal thread formed on the wall of the connecting hole 23. The post hole 25 is for the insertion of the central post 15 of the upper cover 10, and the slot 26 is for the insertion and reception of the rib 16 corresponding to the upper cover 10 and is connected to the post hole 25. The locking hole 27 connects to the slot 26 and is for the locking claw 17 of the upper cover 10 to engage, and the inlet / outlet holes 28 open from the cap top 21 to the connecting hole 23, allowing fruit flies to enter. The bottom edge 221 of the cap circumference 22 is formed at the bottom, the inner edge 222 of the cap circumference 22 is formed with a retaining wall 222, and the outer edge of the cap circumference 22 is formed with concave and convex textures to facilitate rotation and connection of the cap 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, after the upper cover 10 and the connecting cap 20 are combined, the bottom edge 131 of the upper cover 10 is lower than the inlet / outlet hole 28 of the connecting cap 20, but this utility model is not limited to this. Regarding the height position, the axial position of the upper and lower combination is used as a reference.

[0033] The cover 30 has a top 31, an escape hole 32, a second hanging part 33, a cover edge 34, and a bottom edge 341. The top 31 is conical and matches the shape of the top surface of the cover 11 of the upper cover 10, allowing it to fit snugly against the upper cover 10. The escape hole 32 is located in the middle of the top 31 for the first hanging part 12 of the upper cover 10 to pass through. The second hanging part 33 is connected to the top 31 and has a second through hole 331 through it, allowing ropes or hooks to be hung on plants, trellises, or the upper cover 10. The first through hole 121 and the second through hole 331 of the upper cover 10 are axially aligned. The cover edge 34 is connected to the periphery of the top 31 and extends downwards. The bottom edge 341 is formed from the bottom of the cover edge 34, and the cover chamber 35 is formed within the cover edge 34. In this embodiment, the second perforation 331 is connected to the escape hole 32. When the cover 30 is placed on the upper cover 10, the bottom edge 341 of the cover 30 is lower than the bottom edge 131 of the connecting cap 20, and the inner wall of the cover edge 34 abuts against the concave and convex texture of the cover circumference 13 so that they can be positioned relative to each other.

[0034] In addition to being sheet-like and having a second perforation 331 as shown in the figure, the second hanging part 33 can also be a hook or similar structure that can be directly hooked onto plants, trellises, or covers 10.

[0035] Container 40 is attached to connector 20 and is used to hold the trapping liquid and trap fruit flies. Container 40 has a connector 41, a stop 42, a shoulder 43, and a receiving portion 44. In this embodiment, the connector 41 is a threaded bottle neck that can be screwed onto the lower part 24 of connector 20. The stop 42 can stop the stop 222 of connector 20. The shoulder 43 is conical and integrally connected to the connector 41. The receiving portion 44 is cylindrical and integrally connected to the shoulder 43. Thus, the inlet / outlet 28 can communicate with the receiving portion 44 of container 40 through the connecting hole 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the cover 30 is placed over the top cover 10, the bottom edge 341 of the cover 30 covers the shoulder 43 of the container 40 in close contact. In this way, the cover 30 and the container 40 can completely seal the top cover 10 and the connecting cap 20. However, this utility model does not limit the need for contact.

[0037] When spraying pesticides, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the cover 30 is placed over the top cover 10, the edge 34 of the cover 30 completely covers the connecting cap 20, the bottom edge 341 of the cover 30 covers the shoulder 43 of the container 40, and the top 11 of the top cover 10 fits tightly against the top 31 of the cover 30. In other words, the cover 30, together with the container 40, can completely seal the top cover 10 and the connecting cap 20, preventing the inlet / outlet hole 28 from communicating with the outside, making the covering effect more complete. In this way, pesticide mist can be prevented from entering the container 40 through the connecting hole 23 from the inlet / outlet hole 28 of the connecting cap 20 and contaminating the trapping liquid contained in the holding part 44, thereby achieving the creative purpose of this utility model.

[0038] When no pesticides have been sprayed, simply remove the mask 30 upwards. Figure 9 As shown. At this time, the second hanging part 33 of the cover 30 can be connected to the upper cover 10 by means of a rope or hook, or the second hanging part 33 of the cover 30 can also be connected to the plant or the trellis by means of a rope or hook.

[0039] Figure 10 This invention displays another design of the cover 30 of the fruit fly trap provided by this utility model, and... Figure 7 The difference shown in the mask 30 is the shape and position of the second perforation 331, that is, the second perforation 331 is not connected to the escape hole 32.

[0040] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention can also be implemented in the following variations: For example, this utility model is not limited to including a container 40. Secondly, the container 40 can be implemented using a commercially available PET bottle for holding drinking water. Alternatively, the cover edge 34 of the cover 30 can also extend to cover the receiving portion 44 of the container 40, which is also within the patent scope of this utility model.

[0041] Furthermore, the aforementioned ribs 16, claws 17, slots 26, holes 27, and inlet / outlet holes 28 are not limited to multiple as exemplified; only one of each may be used. Moreover, the shoulder 43 of the container 40 is not limited to a conical shape as described above; it may also be a flat disc shape.

[0042] Finally, it must be stated again that the constituent elements disclosed in the foregoing embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this case. Substitutions or variations of other equivalent elements should also be covered by the patent protection scope of this case.
