Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological control technology, and in particular to a novel countable bee trap. Background Technology

[0002] Parasitic wasps such as the bright-bellied glaze wasp and the Ali lice-eating wasp have been widely used in the biological control of agricultural and forestry pests, playing an extremely important role in biological control and integrated pest management, and have broad application prospects.

[0003] The collection and counting of parasitic wasps are major problems in biological control. Existing parasitic wasp collection devices generally suffer from problems such as uncertain collection numbers and excessive suction causing wasp deaths. Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, the applicant has made a pioneering effort and invented an suction device to solve the technical problems and difficulties in the collection process.

[0004] During the application of parasitic wasp technology for controlling citrus psyllids, wasp collection is a crucial step. The efficiency of wasp collection significantly impacts the effectiveness of citrus psyllid control. Currently, wasp collection is primarily achieved through conventional wasp suction devices and manual wasp suction.

[0005] A bee-collecting device is a tool specifically designed for beekeeping, primarily used for the safe and efficient collection or transfer of bee colonies. It is particularly suitable for scenarios such as bee colony capture, swarm management, and routine hive inspection. It attracts bees through a gentle negative pressure airflow, minimizing disturbance to the bee colony, and is an important auxiliary device in modern beekeeping.

[0006] Existing technologies for manually attracting bees suffer from low efficiency and high labor costs; the bee attractors are also bulky, inconvenient to move, and cannot accurately count the number of bees collected. Therefore, this paper proposes an infrared bee counter to address these issues, which can save costs, improve efficiency, and accurately count the number of bees. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this utility model provides a novel countable bee collector, comprising: an air-gathering chamber, a counting chamber, and a bee storage tube connected to each other; The air-gathering chamber is located at the top of the device and contains a high-speed carbon brush motor and a fan blade connected by a drive shaft. It has circular openings at both the top and bottom, and a sealing cap at the top to provide suction for the parasitic wasp attraction device. The counting chamber is located at the bottom of the absorption device. It is a hollow cylinder with an inner wall made of transparent organic glass and an outer wall made of opaque black PET plastic. The counting control module, infrared detection components and counting display are placed between the inner and outer walls. The honeycomb storage tube is connected to the fiberglass mesh by a fixator and placed in the hollow part of the counting chamber. It is made of transparent PET plastic with openings at both the top and bottom.

[0008] Furthermore, the high-speed carbon brush motor is detachably connected to the air collection chamber. Before turning on the device, the high-speed carbon brush motor is installed into the device through the opening of the circular sealing cap at the top.

[0009] Furthermore, the infrared detection component includes an infrared LED transmitter and an infrared receiver, employing a reflection counting method, with the transmitter and receiver located on the same side.

[0010] Furthermore, the main counting control module is located between the outer walls of the counting chamber and is electrically connected to the infrared detection component via a circuit. The main counting control module, the infrared detection component, and the counting display are all non-detachable from each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the counting display uses an LED display screen, located on the black PET plastic casing of the counting chamber, and is electrically connected to the counting main control module via a circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixture is made of ordinary PET plastic material, is connected to the counting chamber, and is not detachable.

[0013] Furthermore, the fiberglass mesh has a mesh count of 70 to 90, and the mesh density is smaller than the size of the parasitic wasp. This ensures that the parasitic wasp can breathe normally and survive, but it cannot pass through the fiberglass mesh, thus preventing the parasitic wasp from escaping. Beneficial effects

[0014] This invention effectively saves on manual counting costs, improves parasitic wasp collection efficiency, increases the efficiency of natural enemy release, and promotes the development of biological control of citrus psyllids.

[0015] This invention, through the setup of a counting chamber, an infrared LED transmitter, an infrared receiver, a counting main control module, a bee storage tube, and a counting display, can count the number of bees while collecting them, thus enabling precise bee collection.

[0016] The purpose, features, and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 5 A novel countable bee-collecting device includes: an air-gathering chamber 1, a counting chamber 2, and a bee-storing tube 3 that are interconnected. The air-gathering chamber 1 is located at the top of the device and contains a high-speed carbon brush motor 12 and a fan blade 14 connected by a drive shaft 13. Both the upper and lower ends are provided with circular openings, and the upper end is equipped with a sealing cap 11 to provide suction for the parasitic wasp inhalation device. The counting chamber 2 is located at the bottom of the absorption device. It is a hollow cylinder with an inner wall made of transparent organic glass and an outer wall made of opaque black PET plastic. The counting main control module 23, infrared detection components and counting display 4 are placed between the inner and outer walls. The honeycomb storage tube 3 is connected to the fiberglass mesh 5 via the fixer 6 and placed in the hollow part of the counting chamber 2. It is a transparent PET plastic with openings at both the top and bottom.

[0024] The high-speed carbon brush motor 12 is detachably connected to the inside of the air collection chamber 1. Before opening the device, the high-speed carbon brush motor 12 is installed into the device through the opening of the circular sealing cap 11 at the top.

[0025] The infrared detection component includes an infrared LED transmitter 21 and an infrared receiver 22, which adopts a reflection counting method, and the transmitter and receiver are located on the same side.

[0026] The counting main control module 23 is located between the outer walls of the counting chamber 2 and is electrically connected to the infrared detection component through a circuit. The counting main control module 23, the infrared detection component and the counting display instrument 4 are all non-detachable from each other.

[0027] The counting display 4 uses an LED display screen, which is located on the black PET plastic shell of the counting chamber and is electrically connected to the counting main control module 23 through a circuit.

[0028] The fixture 6 is made of ordinary PET plastic and is connected to the counting chamber 2. It is not detachable.

[0029] The fiberglass mesh 5 has a mesh count of 70 to 90, and the mesh density is smaller than the size of the parasitic wasp. This ensures that the parasitic wasp can breathe normally and survive, but it cannot pass through the fiberglass mesh 5, thus preventing the parasitic wasp from escaping.

[0030] In practical implementation, a novel countable bee attractant includes: an interconnected air-gathering chamber 1, a counting chamber 2, and a bee storage tube 3. The air-gathering chamber 1 contains a removable high-speed carbon brush motor 12 and a fan blade 14 connected via a drive shaft 13. The bottom interface adopts a spiral design and is detachably connected to the counting chamber 2. The counting chamber 2 includes a non-detachable counting main control module 23, an infrared detection component consisting of an infrared LED emitter 21 and an infrared receiver 22, and an LED display counting instrument 4. When the infrared LED emitter 21 emits infrared light and encounters an obstruction, the infrared receiver 22 detects the obstruction signal and converts the light signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the counting main control module 23. The counting main control module 23 then transmits the converted signal to the counting display instrument 4. A fiberglass mesh 5 is laid flat at the interface between the air-gathering chamber 1 and the counting chamber 2 to prevent parasitic bees from being sucked into the air-gathering chamber 1. The bee storage tube 3 is nested in the hollow counting chamber 2 by a fixing device 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, during use, the bee storage tube 3 is fixed in place by the fixer 6, and the air-gathering chamber 1 is laid flat in the middle of the counting chamber 2 with the fiberglass mesh 5 fixed by the spiral design. The start switches of the counting chamber 2 and the air-gathering chamber 1 are turned on in sequence. When the bees pass through the counting chamber 2, the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting device 21 on the outer inner wall of the counting chamber 2 is reflected by the obstruction and reaches the infrared receiving device 22. After receiving the signal, the light signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the counting main control module 23. The counting main control module 23 transmits the signal to the counting display instrument 4 after conversion. When the value of the counting display instrument 4 reaches the expected value, the switch of the air-gathering chamber 1 is turned off to stop the insect suction, and at the same time, the top and bottom of the bee storage tube 1 in the counting chamber 2 are covered (not shown in the figure).

[0032] The high-speed carbon brush motor 12 and the infrared detection component of the air collection chamber 1 are each equipped with an independent switch.

[0033] This experiment achieved the installation of a support frame by adding an infrared counting device to the bee collector, and then installed the infrared device. By installing an infrared receiver 22 and an infrared transmitter 21 in the counting chamber, it was possible to count the collected bees simultaneously. The infrared device can also make more accurate judgments. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has accurate counting.
