Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tent caterpillar removal technology, specifically a device for removing tent caterpillar egg masses. Background Technology

[0002] The tent caterpillar is a subspecies of the genus *Tentella*, also known as the plum caterpillar or the pinworm. Its eggs are cylindrical, grayish-white, and 20-300 eggs are tightly clustered together. The larvae have five instars. Mature larvae are 5-55 mm long, with a grayish-blue head and two black circular spots on the top. The sides of the body have bright blue-gray, yellow, and black transverse bands. The heads of 1st-3rd instar larvae are black, while those of 4th-5th instar larvae are dark blue with two black circular spots. The pupae are initially yellowish-brown, later turning dark brown. There is significant difference between male and female adults; females are yellowish-brown, while males are yellowish-white. The tent caterpillar is native to Europe and is widely distributed in China, primarily damaging various plants such as pears, apples, crabapples, and sand pears. Newly hatched larvae congregate at branch forks, spinning webs to form a tent, feeding on tender branches, buds, and leaves. Adults are nocturnal and phototactic, congregating in webs during the day and feeding at night. Tent caterpillars are characterized by their wide distribution, diverse diet, and high reproductive rate. Severe infestations can defoliate entire trees and large areas of forest, even causing tree death, resulting in significant losses to forestry production and the economy. Control measures include cutting egg masses, capturing newly hatched larvae, and trapping adults. Biological control can also be achieved using predatory natural enemies such as ants, spiders, sparrows, and larks. Additionally, chemical control can be achieved by spraying pesticides such as dichlorvos EC, phoxim EC, and cypermethrin.

[0003] Currently, tent caterpillar egg masses are mostly removed manually using tools such as scrapers. However, scrapers and other tools wear out over time, making them inconvenient to install and disassemble, and thus cumbersome to use.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a device for removing tent caterpillar egg masses to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a device for removing tent caterpillar egg masses, which aims to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing tent caterpillar egg masses are mostly cleaned manually using tools such as scrapers. However, scrapers and other tools will wear out after long-term use, making them inconvenient to install and disassemble, and difficult to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a device for removing tent caterpillar egg masses, the device for removing tent caterpillar egg masses including a removal mechanism;

[0007] To address the issue that existing methods for removing tent caterpillar egg masses primarily rely on manual cleaning using scrapers and other tools, which suffer from wear and tear over time, are inconvenient to install and disassemble, and are generally cumbersome to use, the proposed cleaning mechanism includes a mounting slot. The mounting slot contains mounting blocks, and cleaning blocks are located on the sides of the mounting block. Two sets of fixing rods are installed inside the mounting block, and fixing holes are provided on both sides of the mounting slot. I-shaped sliders are fixedly connected to the two sets of fixing rods inside the mounting block, and springs are fixedly connected between the two sets of I-shaped sliders. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting slot, and a mounting rod is installed inside the connecting rod. A metal scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting rod, and a screw is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting slot. The threaded connecting sleeve has a handle at its bottom. By pressing the fixing rod, the fixing rod pushes the I-shaped slider to slide inside the I-shaped groove. The I-shaped slider compresses the spring on its side, allowing the fixing rod to enter the interior of the mounting block. The mounting block is then inserted into the mounting groove through the cleaning block. The fixing rod, under the rebound force of the spring, engages with the fixing holes on both sides of the mounting groove, thus fixing the mounting block to the mounting groove. The mounting groove is moved by pushing the handle, and the caterpillar egg block is moistened and wiped by the cleaning block fixed to the side of the mounting groove. The caterpillar egg block is scraped and removed by the metal scraper on the top of the mounting groove. The cleaning block is easy to install and remove, making the operation simple, quick, and convenient.

[0008] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of easy installation and disassembly of the cleaning block, the mounting block is inserted into the mounting groove block, the fixing rod is adapted to the fixing hole, and the fixing rod is inserted into the fixing hole. The mounting block is inserted into the mounting groove block, and the fixing rod is inserted into the fixing hole, so that it can be easily installed and disassembled and is convenient to use.

[0009] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of the stability of the fixed rod movement, the mounting block has I-shaped grooves on both sides inside, and the two ends of the two sets of I-shaped sliders are set inside the I-shaped grooves. The I-shaped sliders are slidably connected to the I-shaped grooves. The I-shaped sliders slide inside the I-shaped grooves, which can improve the stability of the fixed rod movement and make it convenient to use.

[0010] Preferably, to address the issue of convenient installation and disassembly of the metal scraper, the bottom of the mounting rod is inserted into the connecting rod, and a fixing bolt and nut are provided inside the connecting rod. The connecting rod and the mounting rod are fixed together by the fixing bolt and nut. By inserting the bottom of the mounting rod into the connecting rod and fixing the connecting rod and the mounting rod together by the fixing bolt and nut, the metal scraper can be easily installed and disassembled, making it convenient to use.

[0011] Preferably, to address the issue of adjustable length, a threaded mounting head is fixedly connected to the top of the handlebar. The threaded mounting head is adapted to the handlebar and is threadedly connected to a threaded connecting sleeve. A threaded connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handlebar. The threaded mounting head at the top of the threaded mounting head is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting sleeve, thus facilitating the installation and fixing of the handlebar to the mounting slot. The threaded connecting sleeve at the bottom of the handlebar increases the usable length, making it convenient to use.

[0012] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of easy gripping of the handle, the bottom of the handle is provided with an anti-slip handle. The anti-slip handle on the outside of the handle can improve the grip and increase the friction.

[0013] This cleaning mechanism works by pressing a fixing rod, which pushes an I-shaped slider to slide inside an I-shaped groove. The I-shaped slider compresses a spring on its side, causing the fixing rod to enter the mounting block. The cleaning block then inserts the mounting block into the mounting groove. The fixing rod, subjected to the spring's rebound force, engages with the fixing holes on both sides of the mounting block, thus securing the mounting block to the mounting groove. By pushing the rod to move the mounting block, the cleaning block fixed to the side of the mounting block moistens and wipes the caterpillar egg mass. A metal scraper on the top of the mounting block scrapes and removes the caterpillar egg mass. The cleaning block is easy to install and remove, making the operation simple, quick, and convenient.
