Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural trapping devices, and in particular to a device for trapping slugs and snails. Background Technology

[0002] Slugs, commonly known as slugs, are mollusks belonging to the genus *Slug* in the family Slugidae. Snails, commonly known as land snails, belong to the phylum Mollusca, subclass Pulmonariformes, family Slugidae. Both mainly damage various crops such as dragon fruit, citrus, vegetables, and tobacco, causing significant economic losses. Both pests feed on the leaves and fruits of fruits and vegetables, therefore they need to be captured and killed.

[0003] According to utility model patent CN218073144U, a field device for trapping slugs and snails includes a pole and a trapping barrel. A vertical groove is formed on one side of the pole, and a slider is vertically slidably connected within the groove. Two horizontal annular grooves are formed on the top of the trapping barrel, and two fixing rings are fixed to each groove. Two support rods are horizontally fixed to each fixing ring, and the ends of the support rods away from the trapping barrel are fixed to the slider. A transmission cavity is formed inside the pole below the groove, and a rotating rod is horizontally rotatably connected to the side wall of the pole corresponding to the transmission cavity. This utility model features a pole, and the height of the trapping barrel can be adjusted by rotating a turntable while holding the anti-slip sleeve, facilitating the trapping of climbing slugs and snails. After adjusting the height, a square insert can be inserted into the slot to fix the height of the trapping barrel. This design offers greater stability compared to using ropes for suspension, preventing the trapping barrel from tipping over due to wind and causing the trapped objects to fall.

[0004] While the above-mentioned technical solutions can trap slugs and snails, in actual use, since most of the activity range of slugs and snails is on land, and the way the trapping barrel is hung in the air will limit the trapping range, and since slugs and snails have strong climbing ability, the device does not have a structure to prevent them from escaping, which will affect the trapping effect to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for trapping slugs and snails, which can not only trap slugs and snails, but also does not limit the trapping range, and can prevent slugs and snails from escaping after the trapping is completed, thereby improving the trapping effect.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A device for trapping slugs and snails includes a trapping tube with openings at both the top and bottom. The bottom opening of the trapping tube is detachably connected to a bottom cover that engages with it. An arc-shaped support frame is provided on the inner wall of the trapping tube near its bottom opening. An attractant box for holding a attractant is provided at the upper end of the support frame. A copper ring is provided on the inner wall of the trapping tube near its upper opening to engage with it and prevent snails and slugs from escaping. A rainproof component is detachably connected to the top opening of the trapping tube and engages with it. The lower end of the rainproof component is away from the copper ring and extends below it.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, in use, first remove the rainproof component, then put an appropriate amount of bait into the bait box to trap slugs and snails. Next, fix the rainproof component to the upper opening of the bait tube, and then place the bait tube at the desired location for trapping slugs and snails. The scent of the bait diffuses outward through the bait tube. When slugs and snails enter the bait tube, they will not come into contact with the copper ring, allowing them to enter smoothly. When the slugs and snails ingest the bait... When the snails and slugs die, they fall onto the bottom cover. If any snails or slugs try to escape by climbing up the inner wall of the trap, their mucus reacts chemically with the copper ring, causing them to feel an electric shock and preventing them from crossing the ring. This forces them to remain inside the trap, thus preventing them from escaping and improving the trapping and killing effect. Finally, simply remove the bottom cover to remove the killed snails and slugs from the trap.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that a plurality of fixing sleeves are provided at equal intervals near the bottom edge of the bottom cover, and each fixing sleeve is detachably connected to a fixing rod that cooperates with it.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to fix the trapping tube and prevent it from tipping over.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the lure box includes a tray, a box body located on the upper end of the tray and open at both the top and bottom, a cross-shaped slot at the bottom of the box body, and a lid detachably connected to and cooperating with the upper opening of the box body. The upper ends of the lid and the outer wall of the box body are both provided with a mesh.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the quantitative release of the attractant be achieved, avoiding waste of the attractant, but the diffusion of the attractant's odor can also be facilitated, thereby increasing the attraction range.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the rainproof assembly includes a U-shaped fixing ring, multiple upward and outwardly inclined support rods on the upper end of the outer wall of the fixing ring, an arc-shaped water guide cover on the upper end of the support rods, and a conical guide bucket on the inner edge of the lower end of the fixing ring and connected thereto.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, dew or rainwater can be prevented from falling directly into the bait box to a certain extent, thus preventing the bait from getting damp and reducing the baiting effect.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the water guide cover is hollow inside and open at the top. A storage battery is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the water guide cover, and a control switch electrically connected to the storage battery is provided at the open end of the water guide cover. A sealing cover that cooperates with the open end of the water guide cover is detachably connected to the open end of the water guide cover. A energizing ring electrically connected to the control switch is provided at the upper end of the inner edge of the U-shaped end of the fixing ring. A receiving ring electrically connected to the energizing ring is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the trapping cylinder. The copper ring is electrically connected to the receiving ring through a wire.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the oxidation of the copper ring can prevent snails and slugs from losing their electric shock sensation when they come into contact with it. Therefore, by energizing the copper ring, the trapping device can be guaranteed to be effective for a long time.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the outer wall of the trapping tube has a plurality of air vents arranged in an array inward at the position of the lure box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the diffusion range of the attractant's odor can be increased, thereby improving the attraction effect on snails and slugs.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: Firstly, this utility model can only trap slugs and snails, and it does not limit the trapping range. Moreover, after trapping, it can prevent slugs and snails from escaping, thereby improving the trapping effect. Secondly, the attractant box of this utility model can not only release the attractant in a quantitative manner, avoiding waste of the attractant, but also facilitate the diffusion of the attractant's odor, thereby increasing the attraction range; Thirdly, by energizing the copper ring, this invention can prevent snails and slugs from losing their electric shock sensation when they come into contact with the copper ring due to oxidation, thus ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the trapping device.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," not that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example, refer to Figure 1-3A device for trapping slugs and snails includes a trapping tube 1 with openings at both the top and bottom. A bottom cover 11 is detachably connected to the lower opening of the trapping tube 1 and engages with it. Four evenly spaced fixing sleeves 12 are arranged near the edge of the bottom of the bottom cover 11. Each fixing sleeve 12 is detachably connected to a fixing rod 13. An arc-shaped support frame 14 is arranged on the inner wall of the trapping tube 1 near its lower opening. The upper end of the support frame 14... A bait box 2 is provided for placing bait and emitting odor. The bait box 2 includes a tray 21, a box body 22 located on the upper end of the tray 21 with openings at both the top and bottom, a cross-shaped slot 23 at the bottom of the box body 22, and a lid 24 detachably connected to and cooperating with the opening at the upper end of the box body 22. The upper ends of the lid 24 and the outer wall of the box body 22 are both provided with a mesh. The outer wall of the bait tube 1 has a number of air holes 45 arranged in an array inward at the position of the bait box 2.

[0026] A copper ring 3 is installed on the inner wall of the trapping tube 1 near the upper opening to prevent snails and slugs from escaping. A rainproof component 31 is detachably connected to the upper opening of the trapping tube 1 and engages with it. The rainproof component 31 includes a U-shaped fixing ring 32, multiple upward and outwardly inclined support rods 33 on the upper end of the outer wall of the fixing ring 32, an arc-shaped, hollow water guide shroud 34 with an upper opening, and a conical guide that is connected to and engages with the lower inner edge of the fixing ring 32. The lower end of the guide bucket 35 is away from the copper ring 3 and extends below it. A storage battery 4 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the water guide cover 34. A control switch 41 connected to the storage battery 4 is provided at the opening end of the water guide cover 34. A sealing cover 42 that matches the opening end of the water guide cover 34 is detachably connected. A energized ring 43 connected to the control switch 41 is provided at the upper end of the inner edge of the U-shaped end of the fixing ring 32. A receiving ring 44 connected to the energized ring 43 is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the trapping tube 1. The copper ring 3 is connected to the receiving ring 44 through a wire (figure omitted).

[0027] Instructions for use: First, remove the rainproof component 31. Then, place an appropriate amount of bait into the box 22 of the bait box 2. The bait will first fall onto the tray 21 through the slot 23. Due to the distance between the slot 23 and the tray 21, the bait will not overflow in large quantities. Only when used will the bait in the box 22 fall downwards as the amount used increases. Next, close the box lid 24 and then fix the rainproof component 31 to the upper opening of the bait cylinder 1, so that the fixing ring 32 is aligned with the bait. The upper opening of the tube 1 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​mechanism, and the energizing ring 43 and the energizing ring 44 are made to make contact and connect. Then, the trap tube 1 is placed at the location where slugs and snails need to be trapped. The fixing rod 13 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 12. Then, the trap tube 1 is pressed down to insert the fixing rod 13 into the soil to fix it. At this time, the scent of the trap will diffuse outward through the guide bucket 35 and the vent hole 45. Then, the sealing cover 42 is removed, the control switch 41 is turned on, and the battery 4 in the water guide cover 34 provides power to energize the copper ring 3.

[0028] When the lured slugs and snails enter the trapping tube 1, the guide bucket 35 prevents them from contacting the copper ring 3, allowing them to smoothly enter the trapping tube 1 and land on the support frame 14. When the slugs and snails ingest the bait, they die. The dead slugs and snails fall onto the bottom cover 11. Because the support frame 14 is arc-shaped and has space between it and the lower end of the trapping tube 1, the dead slugs and snails will not remain on the support frame 14 and thus not affect the scent of the bait. The diffusion of the bait and the subsequent feeding of slugs and snails on the bait are all controlled by the bait. If slugs and snails try to escape by climbing up the inner wall of the bait tube 1, they will feel an electric shock when they come into contact with the copper ring 3. They will be forced to stay in the bait tube 1, which will prevent them from escaping. This will improve the trapping and killing effect of snails and slugs. Finally, the bottom cover 11 can be removed to clean out the killed snails and slugs from the lower opening of the bait tube 1.

[0029] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment that make creative contributions as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
