Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pest control technology, and in particular to an intelligent pest control device. Background Technology

[0002] Insecticidal lamps are physical pest control devices that use the phototaxis of insects to trap and kill them. Early electric insecticidal lamps could spread pathogens or allergens when the insects were crushed, and there was also the problem of splashing pollution. Moreover, these lamps used relatively low voltage, and mosquitoes often stuck to the electric grid when they died from electrocution, making cleaning difficult and increasing safety risks. In addition, they also had problems such as high noise and high power consumption.

[0003] This led to the development of a technology that uses sticky traps as the insect-killing components of insecticidal lamps. These lamps place a powerful sticky trap below the insect-attracting light source; insects attracted by the light fall onto the trap and get stuck until they die. This method is noiseless, splash-free, and poses no risk of electric shock.

[0004] However, these insect control devices have a large number of components, and maintenance typically requires opening the front cover upwards. This method is not only cumbersome, increasing maintenance time and labor costs, but also makes it easy for the adhesive trapping paper to fall off accidentally during opening, resulting in wasted consumables, environmental pollution, and additional cleaning costs and inconvenience. The upward-opening design also makes cleaning and repairing the insect-attracting light source or other components inside the device difficult, further increasing maintenance complexity and labor costs. Moreover, these insect control devices lack real-time, automatic monitoring capabilities for insect capture, relying on manual inspections. This method is inefficient, prone to missing inspection points, and requires a continuous investment of significant human resources, especially in large facilities or multi-site deployments, where the labor and time costs of inspections become a significant burden. Furthermore, the lack of intelligent monitoring makes it impossible to accurately predict when to replace the adhesive trapping paper, resulting in either premature replacement (wasting consumables and increasing operating costs) or delayed replacement (affecting the trapping effect). Due to inconvenient maintenance and lack of monitoring, insect problems may not be detected and addressed in a timely manner, posing potential health and safety risks or product loss risks, indirectly leading to greater economic losses.

[0005] This application aims to solve the above problems and provide an intelligent pest control device that is easy to maintain, has intelligent monitoring, a compact structure, and reduced costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent insect control device with simplified assembly. Its front cover can be flipped down and opened to facilitate safe and clean maintenance of the insect control components and the internal components of the base. It also integrates an insect pest monitoring and control unit to achieve automatic monitoring, reducing labor and time costs. At the same time, it optimizes the working environment of the insect pest monitoring and control unit, reduces light interference, and improves monitoring accuracy.

[0007] This application provides an intelligent insect control device, including a housing, which includes a front cover, a base, and a rear cover, and at least one opening and closing system. The front cover and the bottom of the base are connected by the opening and closing system, allowing the front cover to be opened or closed relative to the base. When the front cover and the base are closed, they form an upward-opening receiving cavity. The rear cover is connected to the side of the base away from the receiving cavity. An insect-attracting component is disposed on the side of the base facing the receiving cavity for attracting flies. An insect-killing component is disposed on the side of the front cover facing the receiving cavity for capturing flies. An insect infestation monitoring and control unit is disposed on the rear cover and opposite to the insect-killing component to monitor the insect infestation of the insect-killing component. The insect infestation monitoring and control unit includes a camera for acquiring images of the insect infestation status of the insect-killing component. A first supplementary lighting device is disposed adjacent to the camera for providing a light source for image acquisition by the camera. The opening and closing system is configured such that after the front cover is opened relative to the base, the front cover flips downward.

[0008] In some embodiments, the opening and closing system includes: a sliding module disposed on a base and connected to a front cover; allowing the front cover to move relative to the base along a sliding path; a rotating module connected to the front cover and the sliding module, configured to: allow the front cover to rotate relative to the base at a predetermined position when the front cover moves along the sliding path to a predetermined position, and provide damping to achieve hovering positioning at any position within the rotation range; and a locking module connected to the front cover and the base, configured to: lock the front cover to the base when the front cover moves along the sliding path to a position closed with the base, thereby constraining their relative movement; and release the constraint on the front cover when the front cover and the base are opened, allowing the front cover to move along the sliding path via the sliding module.

[0009] In some embodiments, the front cover is plate-shaped and can be flipped down to a first position and then flipped to a second position; wherein, in the first position, the front cover is parallel to the bottom surface of the base to maintain the insect-killing component disposed on the front cover; in the second position, the front cover is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base to maintain the internal components of the base.

[0010] In some embodiments, the rear cover is fitted to the base on the side away from the receiving cavity, the side of the rear cover away from the base forms a suspension surface, and is configured to keep the suspension surface in a vertical state so as to allow the base to be suspended vertically through the suspension surface; when the front cover is closed with the base, the front cover is tilted relative to the suspension surface in the direction away from the receiving cavity to form a first angle.

[0011] In some embodiments, an insect monitoring and control unit is installed on the side of the back cover near the base; the base is integrally formed with a receiving cavity matching the insect monitoring and control unit on the side near the back cover; when the base and the back cover are fitted together, they form a closed cavity, and the insect monitoring and control unit is completely covered in the closed cavity; the closed cavity is provided with a light-transmitting device, which allows the insect monitoring and control unit to monitor the insect infestation of the insect-killing components.

[0012] In some embodiments, a second supplementary lighting device is provided near the enclosed cavity of the base to provide a light source for image acquisition by the camera; the insect-attracting component is a lamp tube located above the enclosed cavity to attract flies; wherein, when performing insect extermination operations, the lamp tube is turned on to attract flies; when performing image acquisition operations, the lamp tube is turned off, the camera is turned on, and the first and second supplementary lighting devices are turned on simultaneously to acquire images of insects at the insect extermination component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting device is a light-transmitting plate, which is vertically disposed on the side of the enclosed cavity facing the receiving cavity; the lamp tube protrudes at least partially from the surface of the light-transmitting plate so that its light can illuminate the bottom of the front cover, and the lamp tube can also provide a supplementary light source for the camera; the lens of the camera is tilted relative to the light-transmitting plate in a direction away from the lamp tube to form a second included angle, and when the lamp tube is used as a supplementary light source for the camera, the influence of the light from the lamp tube and the refracted or reflected light on the light-transmitting plate on the lens can be reduced.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second included angle and the first included angle are equal; in this case, the lens is vertically aligned with the plane where the insect-killing component is located; so that the camera can maintain image quality while capturing the entire insect-killing component.

[0015] In some embodiments, the base also integrally forms with the following on the side facing the receiving cavity: a light-transmitting device slot, disposed on the closed cavity, for installing a light-transmitting device; and a lamp holder slot, disposed above the closed cavity, for installing a lamp holder, the lamp holder being used to install a lamp tube.

[0016] In some embodiments, the front cover is integrally formed with at least one mounting base in the direction of the receiving cavity, the mounting base protruding a first distance to form an assembly space for mounting an opening and closing system; the mounting base includes: a rotating module slot for mounting a rotating module; and a first locking module slot for mounting a locking module.

[0017] In some embodiments, the base is integrally formed on the side facing the receiving cavity with at least one sliding module slot corresponding to the rotating module slot and the first locking module slot, respectively: at least one sliding module slot for installing the sliding module; at least one second locking module slot for installing the locking module; the second locking module slot protrudes a second distance away from the receiving cavity to form an assembly space for installing the locking module.

[0018] In some embodiments, the sliding module is a guide rail, which is embedded and fixed in the sliding module slot; the rotating module is a damping hinge, one end of which is fixed to the end of the guide rail by two second fastening screws; the other end of which is fixed to the rotating module slot by two third fastening screws.

[0019] In some embodiments, the locking module is a magnetic attraction device, including: a magnetic mating module, including a magnetic pad and a first screw, wherein the magnetic pad is installed in a first locking module slot by the first screw; and a magnetic attraction module, including a magnetic element and a second screw, wherein the magnetic element is installed in a second locking module slot by the second screw.

[0020] In some embodiments, the front cover has an integrally formed insect-killing component slot on the side facing the receiving cavity for installing the insect-killing component; the insect-killing component is a replaceable adhesive cardboard.

[0021] In some embodiments, the back cover has an inner groove on the side away from the base. The inner groove has a cable tie slot and a power socket interface. The cable tie slot is used to bind and fix the power cord contained in the inner groove with a cable tie. The back cover has a power socket slot on the side near the base for fixing and installing a power socket. The power socket slot and the inner groove are connected through the power socket interface, so that the power socket can be connected to the power cord through the power socket interface.

[0022] In the intelligent pest control device of this application, the opening and closing system allows the front cover to unlock and slide relative to the base before flipping downwards, while simultaneously hovering and positioning itself. This solves the problems of inconvenience in replacing the adhesive trapping cardboard when opening the cover upwards in traditional pest control devices and the inconvenience in maintaining the internal components. It completely frees the operator's hands for maintenance operations, greatly improving maintenance convenience and reducing maintenance time and labor costs. The built-in pest monitoring and control unit enables automatic, real-time monitoring and recording of captured pests. When deployed at multiple locations in large sites such as factories, it can improve pest management while reducing manual inspection costs and time costs. The camera lens design, which is tilted relative to the light-transmitting plate, can better capture the insect situation on the front cover, which is also tilted, reducing image distortion and effectively reducing the interference of reflected or refracted light from the light-transmitting plate on the image. Furthermore, the lens is positioned away from the lamp tube, which reduces the impact of direct light from the lamp tube on the lens when the lamp tube is used as a supplementary light source for the camera, significantly improving the image quality and monitoring accuracy of the camera. The base, front cover, and rear cover adopt a large number of integrated molding designs, which makes the components highly modular, easy to assemble, reduces costs, and has good structural strength, high reliability, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this application provides an intelligent insect-killing device, which includes a housing, a front cover 2, a base 1 and a rear cover 3. The front cover 2 and the base 1 are connected by at least one opening and closing system 4. The opening and closing system 4 is connected to the bottom of the front cover 2 and the base 1, so that the front cover 2 can be opened or closed relative to the base 1. When the front cover 2 is opened, the opening and closing system 4 at the bottom can make the front cover 2 flip downward. When the base 1 and the front cover 2 are closed, they fit together to form an upwardly open receiving cavity 5 to accommodate flies and insects to be captured.

[0044] An insect-attracting component, disposed on the side of the base 1 facing the receiving cavity 5, is used to attract flies. Preferably, the insect-attracting component is a lamp tube 13, which can be a quartz lamp tube of a specific spectrum or an LED lamp tube. The lamp tube 13 is fixed by a lamp holder 14, which is typically a detachable metal or plastic bracket. The lamp holder 14 is reliably snapped into or fixed in a lamp holder slot 15 integrally formed with the base 1. This design ensures the accuracy, firmness, and consistency of the lamp holder 14 installation, simplifies the assembly process, and improves structural strength.

[0045] An insect-killing component is disposed on the side of the front cover 2 facing the receiving cavity 5, and is used to capture flies and insects that enter the receiving cavity 5. Preferably, the insect-killing component is a replaceable adhesive cardboard 23, which is disposed on an insect-killing component slot 22 integrally formed with the front cover 2; when replacing, the adhesive cardboard 23 can be easily inserted into or removed from the insect-killing component slot 22.

[0046] The insect infestation monitoring and control unit 31 is installed within the enclosed cavity 17 formed by the base 1 and the rear cover 3. Its monitoring direction is towards the receiving cavity 5 and it is positioned opposite the insect-killing component on the front cover 2. This system is used to acquire insect infestation information captured on the insect-killing component, such as insect species, quantity, location images, etc.

[0047] The downward-flipping front cover 2 solves the problems of inconvenience in replacing the adhesive trapping board 23 and maintaining internal components caused by the upward-opening design of traditional insect control devices. This completely frees the operator's hands for maintenance, greatly improving convenience and reducing maintenance time and labor costs. The insect monitoring and control unit 31 enables automatic, real-time monitoring and recording of captured insects. Although adding the insect monitoring and control unit 31 increases equipment costs, in large-scale sites such as factories with multiple deployment points, intelligent monitoring can monitor the adhesive trapping board 23 in real time, promptly detect and address pest problems, and avoid greater economic losses due to potential hygiene and safety risks. This improves pest management while reducing maintenance costs.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, in order to achieve stable closure of the front cover 2 relative to the base 1, controllable opening, and convenient maintenance of the flip-down action, a highly integrated and fully functional opening and closing system 4 was designed. For example... Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the opening and closing system 4 consists of two sets. The core of the opening and closing system lies in the simultaneous integration of three major functions: sliding, locking, and damped rotation, which work together through a meticulous structural design. It includes a sliding module, a locking module, and a rotation module.

[0049] The sliding module is crucial for the opening and closing action, primarily guiding the front cover 2 to slide a predetermined distance relative to the base 1. This sliding action is typically used to initially disengage the front cover 2 from its fully closed position, or to adjust its position for subsequent flipping actions, ensuring the front cover is unaffected by the base during flipping. The sliding module is fixedly mounted on the base 1. Specifically, the side of the base 1 facing the internal receiving cavity 5 of the device has a dedicated sliding module slot 12 integrally formed. These slots provide precise positioning and installation references.

[0050] A preferred and common implementation is the use of a guide rail 41. The guide rail 41 is shaped to precisely match the sliding module slot 12 on the base 1. The guide rail 41 is embedded in the slot of the base 1 and reliably secured from the side or bottom (depending on the structural design) by a first fastening screw 411, ensuring that it will not loosen or shift during equipment operation. The guide rail 41 is connected to the front cover 2 via a rotating module, allowing the front cover 2 to slide smoothly and restrictively along the path defined by the guide rail 41.

[0051] The locking module is crucial for ensuring the stability of the equipment's operation. Its main functions are twofold: firstly, to close and lock the mechanism, such as... Figure 6As shown, when the front cover 2 moves to a position where it is completely closed and tightly fitted with the base 1 via the sliding module, the locking module activates, firmly locking the front cover 2 onto the base 1. At this time, no relative movement is allowed between the front cover 2 and the base 1, thus effectively preventing the front cover 2 from accidentally opening due to vibration, impact, or misoperation, ensuring the safety of the internal components and stable operation of the equipment. Secondly, there is the unlocking mechanism, such as... Figure 7 As shown, when it is necessary to open the front cover 2 for operation, the operator needs to apply a preset opening force to the front cover 2 that exceeds the locking force. At this time, the locking module releases the constraint on the front cover 2, allowing the front cover 2 to move along the path of the sliding module again.

[0052] Preferably, the locking module employs a magnetic attraction device 42. Magnetic locking is a preferred solution due to its relatively simple structure, reliable operation, lack of mechanical wear and noise, stable holding force, and ease of unlocking. The magnetic attraction device 42 comprises two parts: a magnetic engagement module 421, which is mounted on the front cover 2, specifically within a first locking module slot 211 formed on the mounting base 21 protruding a first distance on the side of the front cover 2 facing the receiving cavity 5. This unit typically includes a magnetic pad 422 made of ferromagnetic material and a first screw 423 for securely fixing it in the first locking module slot 211. A magnetic module 424, mounted on the base 1, corresponds to the magnetic engagement module 421 on the front cover 2. The base 1 also has a second locking module slot 11 formed on the side facing the receiving cavity 5. The magnetic module 424 typically includes a magnetic element 425 and a second screw 426 for reliably fixing it in the second locking module slot 11.

[0053] like Figure 9 As shown, there are two mounting bases 21, corresponding to the opening and closing system. The first protrusion of the mounting base 21 is to provide sufficient and suitable assembly space for the first screw 423 of a certain length and to optimize assembly stability. The first protrusion of the mounting base 21 needs to match the size of the selected first screw 423. The second locking module slot 11 on the base 1 is designed to protrude a second distance away from the receiving cavity 5. This protrusion structure is also to form a necessary assembly space to match the length of the second screw 426, ensuring that after the magnetic suction device 42 is installed, the magnetic suction element 425 contained therein can achieve the best mating distance with the magnetic suction pad 422 on the front cover 2 in the closed position, providing sufficient locking force and improving assembly reliability.

[0054] The rotating module is the core component that enables the front cover 2 to flip downwards and facilitates maintenance. Its function is mainly reflected in two aspects: firstly, rotation triggering; such as... Figure 8As shown, when the front cover 2 moves to a predetermined position along the sliding path of the sliding module, this position is any position that the front cover 2 can reach while sliding along the sliding path, such as sliding to the position furthest from the base 1, the rotating module starts to work, and the front cover 2 can rotate downward relative to the base 1 around the built-in pivot of the mechanism, fully exposing the inside of the equipment. Secondly, damped hovering: throughout the entire process of the front cover 2 rotating downward, the rotating module provides a continuous, stable and adjustable damping torque. This characteristic is crucial, as it allows the front cover 2 to achieve stable hovering positioning at any angle within its rotation stroke range. The operator does not need to continuously support the front cover 2 with their hands to perform maintenance operations, greatly improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0055] Preferably, the rotating module is a damping hinge 43. One end of the damping hinge 43 is securely mounted to the end of the sliding module by two second fastening screws 431. This two-point fixing method provides good torsional stability. The other end of the damping hinge 43 is also fixed to the rotating module slot 212 of the front cover 2 mounting base 21 by two third fastening screws 432. Figure 9 As shown, the first distance of the protrusion of the mounting base 21 forms a sufficient and suitable assembly space to accommodate the length of the damping hinge 43 and the mounting structure.

[0056] When the front cover 2 moves along the guide rail 41 to a position where it is completely closed and tightly fitted with the base 1, the magnetic pad 422 and the magnetic element 425 attract each other, firmly locking the front cover 2 onto the base 1. At this time, no relative movement is allowed between the front cover 2 and the base 1, thus effectively preventing the front cover 2 from being accidentally opened due to vibration, impact, or misoperation, ensuring the safety and stable operation of the internal components of the equipment. When it is necessary to open the front cover 2 for operation, the operator needs to apply a preset opening force to the front cover 2 that exceeds the magnetic holding force. The magnetic pad 422 and the magnetic element 425 separate, releasing the constraint on the front cover 2, allowing the front cover 2 to move along the path of the guide rail 41 again. When the front cover 2 moves to a predetermined position along the sliding path of the guide rail 41, such as when it slides to the position where the front cover 2 is furthest from the base 1, the damping hinge 43 starts to work at this position. At this time, the front cover 2 can flip downward relative to the base 1 around the pivot built into the damping hinge 43, fully exposing the inside of the equipment. During the entire process of the front cover 2 flipping downward, the damping hinge 43 provides a continuous, stable and adjustable damping torque. This characteristic is crucial, as it allows the front cover 2 to achieve stable hovering and positioning at any angle within its flipping stroke range. The operator does not need to continuously support the front cover 2 with their hands to perform maintenance operations, which greatly improves the convenience and safety of operation.

[0057] The initial distance of the protrusion on the mounting base 21 needs to match the dimensions of the selected damping hinge 43, particularly the length of the damping hinge 43 that ensures a tight closure between the front cover 2 and the base 1. Using two screws to secure the hinge (rather than more or fewer) is an optimized choice: on the one hand, two-point fixing is sufficient to provide a secure connection, preventing the hinge from loosening or shifting during operation; on the other hand, it avoids the hinge body becoming too long due to the use of too many screws, which could result in an excessively large initial distance of the protrusion on the mounting base 21, affecting the internal space or overall aesthetics of the equipment, or causing a mismatch between the hinge and the mounting base 21 slot, thus balancing reliability and dimensional adaptability. As mentioned earlier, the core purpose of the initial distance of the protrusion is to provide the necessary assembly space and mounting interface for installing the key components of the opening and closing system 4 (especially a portion of the rotating module and locking module).

[0058] The mounting interface on the mounting base 21 includes: at least one rotating module slot 212 for positioning and fixing one end of the damping hinge 43; and at least one first locking module slot 211, also located on the mounting base 21, for positioning and fixing the magnetic engagement module 421 in the magnetic attraction device 42.

[0059] like Figure 10 As shown, in order to precisely match the mounting interface on the mounting base 21 of the front cover 2, the base 1 also has a corresponding interface integrally formed on the side facing the receiving cavity 5, namely at least one sliding module slot 12, as mentioned above, for mounting and fixing the guide rail 41; at least one second locking module slot 11, as mentioned above, for mounting and fixing the magnetic module 424 in the magnetic suction device 42, and is specially designed to protrude a second distance away from the receiving cavity 5 to form a dedicated assembly space for the magnetic module 424.

[0060] In this embodiment, the front cover 2 is preferably designed as a plate structure. Under the action of the opening and closing system 4, it can be flipped downwards to two key positions: First, the front cover 2 is flipped downwards to a position substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the base 1. In this position, the operator can easily and safely replace, clean, or inspect the insect-killing components, such as the adhesive trapping cardboard 23, located in the insect-killing component slot 22 on the front cover 2. The adhesive trapping cardboard 23 will not fall due to gravity and pollute the environment or the operator. Second, the front cover 2 continues to flip downwards from the first position to a position substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base 1. In this position, the operator can easily clean, repair, or replace the internal components of the device, such as the lamp tube 13 and the insect monitoring and control unit 31. The downward flipping of the front cover 2 provides the operator with ample operating space and a wide field of vision. The downward flipping and hovering opening mechanism of the front cover 2 completely frees the operator's hands for maintenance operations, greatly improving maintenance convenience and reducing maintenance time and labor costs.

[0061] like Figures 10-13As shown in this embodiment, the rear cover 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the base 1 away from the receiving cavity 5 by screws in a fitted connection. The side of the rear cover 3 away from the base 1, that is, the outer side of the rear cover 3, is specially designed as the hanging surface 16 of the device. This hanging surface 16 is constructed to keep the entire device in a stable vertical state. Its function is to allow the user to vertically suspend the entire device on a wall, column or other vertical support surface through this hanging surface 16, so as to achieve a stable installation of the device.

[0062] In this embodiment, the base 1 has an integrally formed receiving cavity on the side near the rear cover 3. When the base 1 and the rear cover 3 are tightly connected by screws, they together form a closed cavity 17. The insect pest monitoring and control unit 31 is pre-positioned and installed on the side of the rear cover 3 near the base 1, i.e., the inner side of the rear cover 3. When the rear cover 3 and the base 1 are closed, the insect pest monitoring and control unit 31 is completely contained within the closed cavity 17 formed by the receiving cavity of the base 1 and the inner wall of the rear cover 3. The rear cover 3 and the base 1 cooperate to form a protective structure for the internal components, completely enclosing and sealing the insect pest monitoring and control unit 31, playing a crucial role in dust and moisture protection, and ensuring that the monitoring unit can work stably for a long time in the complex factory environment. Preferably, the closed cavity is located in the middle of the base.

[0063] A light-transmitting device is provided on the enclosed cavity 17, located in the light-transmitting device slot 171 of the enclosed cavity 17. This device serves as a crucial interface between the protective function and the pest monitoring function of the enclosed cavity 17, allowing the pest monitoring and control unit 31, especially its core component—the camera 311—to have its field of view through this panel. Through the light-transmitting device, the camera 311 can clearly observe and photograph the pest situation on the pest-killing components located on the front cover 2, such as the types and quantities of pests attracted, thus achieving the monitoring purpose, while remaining within the protected enclosed cavity 17. Preferably, the camera is located in the center of the enclosed cavity.

[0064] When deployed at multiple locations in large venues such as factories, the pest monitoring and control unit 31 can monitor the sticky trap 23 in real time, promptly detect and address pest problems, avoid economic losses caused by potential health and safety risks, and reduce costs while improving pest management.

[0065] The insect monitoring and control unit 31 also includes a first supplementary lighting device, which includes a first supplementary light 312 and a second supplementary light 313, located on both sides of the camera 311. A second supplementary lighting device, including a third supplementary light 18 and a fourth supplementary light 19, is also located on both sides of the enclosed cavity 17 on the base. These four supplementary lights provide a light source for image acquisition by the camera 311. The lamp tube 13 is installed above the enclosed cavity 17 and is the core insect-attracting light source. Specifically, when performing insect control operations, the lamp tube 13 is turned on to attract flies; when performing image acquisition operations, the lamp tube 13 is turned off, the camera 311 is turned on, and the first supplementary light 312, the second supplementary light 313, the third supplementary light 18, and the fourth supplementary light 19 are simultaneously turned on to acquire insect images at the insect control components.

[0066] like Figure 14 As shown in this embodiment, when the device is in the closed working state, the front cover 2 is not completely perpendicular to the base 1, but is tilted away from the receiving cavity 5 relative to a set vertical reference plane, namely the vertical suspension surface 16, forming an acute angle, called the first included angle α. The angle α is set between 15° and 45°. For example, 20° or 30° are common and effective design choices. The tilt of the front cover 2 significantly expands the top entrance of the receiving cavity 5 relative to the completely vertical state, forming a wider "funnel"-shaped entrance, which allows the light to diffuse better, ensures structural stability and light guiding effect, and improves the overall insect-attracting effect; the tilt design creates a lever effect at the point where the front cover 2 and the base 1 are closed. When the user needs to open the front cover 2 to replace the insect-killing parts or for maintenance, the force applied to the edge of the front cover 2 will generate a component force that helps to overcome the resistance of the magnetic suction device 42, making the opening action more effortless and convenient.

[0067] On the side of the enclosed cavity 17 facing the receiving cavity 5, that is, towards the insect-killing component, a light-transmitting plate 172 is vertically installed. The light-transmitting plate 172 is located on the light-transmitting device slot 171 of the enclosed cavity 17. After the lamp tube 13 is installed, at least a part of it, usually the front half of the lamp tube 13, will protrude from the vertical plane where the light-transmitting plate 172 is located towards the receiving cavity 5. This ensures that the light emitted by the lamp tube 13 is not excessively blocked by the light-transmitting plate 172 from above, and that the light can effectively and evenly diffuse downwards and cover the entire area where the insect-killing component is located, maximizing its attraction effect and reducing blind spots in light.

[0068] When the supplementary light fails to function, resulting in insufficient light for the camera 311 to capture images, the lamp tube 13 can also serve as a supplementary light source. The lens of the camera 311 is not directly facing the light-transmitting plate 172, but rather tilted away from the lamp tube 13 relative to the vertical plane containing the light-transmitting plate 172, forming an acute angle called the second included angle β. The β angle is typically set between 15° and 45°, and its specific value needs to be optimized based on the lamp tube position, the characteristics of the light-transmitting plate, and the position of the front cover.

[0069] When lamp tube 13 serves as the supplementary light source for camera 311, the strong light from lamp tube 13 illuminates the smooth surface of light-transmitting plate 172, resulting in specular reflection following the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. By tilting the lens away from lamp tube 13, i.e., increasing the angle between the lens and the surface of light-transmitting plate 172, the lens of camera 311 can avoid the strong reflection path generated by the light from lamp tube 13 on the surface of light-transmitting plate 172, significantly reducing the overexposure interference of highlights on the image. Light may refract as it propagates inside light-transmitting plate 172, producing refracted light; the surface of light-transmitting plate 172 may have micro-scratches or dust, and the light from lamp tube 13 illuminating it will produce scattered light. Tilting the lens reduces the probability of these refracted and scattered rays directly entering the lens, resulting in a darker and cleaner image background, significantly improved contrast between the target insect and the adhesive trapping cardboard 23, sharper edges, and clearer details. When the front cover 2 is tilted at an angle α, while camera 311 is not tilted, distortion will occur when observing the tilted surface of the adhesive trapping cardboard 23. After the lens tilts synchronously by β, its optical axis can be closer to being perpendicular to the target imaging surface, i.e., the adhesive cardboard 23, which effectively reduces the geometric distortion of the image and makes the insect's shape more realistic.

[0070] Images with higher contrast, lower noise, and less distortion provide a more reliable data source for subsequent image processing algorithms, greatly improving the accuracy and robustness of automatic insect infestation identification and analysis.

[0071] When the design ensures that the first included angle α equals the second included angle β, resulting in an angle of 30°, the lens of the camera 311, positioned in the center of the enclosed cavity, will be precisely aligned with the plane of the insect-killing component placed on the front cover 2. At this point, the lens optical axis being perpendicular to the imaging plane represents the ideal geometric condition for obtaining a distortion-free image. This maximizes the geometric fidelity of the insect image; the size and shape of the insect do not change significantly due to different positions, and the imaging quality across the entire insect-killing component area is more uniform and consistent. This is crucial for morphology-based recognition algorithms.

[0072] This design, which integrates a tilted front cover, protruding light tubes, and a tilted camera with optimized tilt angles, achieves a significant improvement in the clarity, contrast, and geometric accuracy of insect monitoring images through ingenious geometric and optical synergy. This is achieved by increasing the trapping entrance, optimizing the distribution of insect-attracting light, and enabling labor-saving operation, while effectively overcoming the interference of strong light sources within the enclosed cavity 17 on imaging. This provides a reliable guarantee for efficient and automated insect identification and analysis.

[0073] like Figure 12 , 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the device extensively adopts an integrated molding design to improve structural strength, simplify assembly, and enhance reliability while reducing costs.

[0074] The following components are integrally formed with the base 1: sliding module slot 12, second locking module slot 11, light-transmitting device slot 171, and lamp holder slot 15.

[0075] The following components are integrally formed with the front cover 2: mounting base 21 and insect-killing component slot 22.

[0076] The following are integrally formed with the back cover 3: an inner groove 32, which is located on one side of the hanging surface 16 and has a cable tie slot 321 for passing cable ties through and securing the power cord housed in the inner groove 32, achieving neat storage and preventing pulling of the power cord; and a power socket interface 322, which has an opening leading to the side of the back cover 3 near the base 1 and communicating with the power socket slot 323. The power socket slot 323 is used to fix the power socket 324, which is connected to the inner groove 32 through the power socket interface 322. The power cord is connected to the power socket 324 fixed in the power socket slot 323 through the power socket interface 322 to supply power to the entire device.

[0077] When the insect-killing device is in operation: The device is vertically suspended via the hanging surface 16 of the rear cover 3. The front cover 2 is closed, and the magnetic suction device 42 securely locks it onto the base 1. The lamp tube 13 emits light to attract insects, and the flying insects enter the upward-opening receiving cavity 5. The flying insects are captured by the insect-killing components on the front cover 2. When image acquisition is required, the camera 311 of the insect pest monitoring and control unit 31 takes images of the insect-killing components at regular intervals or continuously through the light-transmitting plate 172. The insect pest monitoring and control unit 31 analyzes the insect situation and records and transmits the data.

[0078] When replacing the adhesive trap 23 of the insect-killing device: The operator applies a certain pulling force to overcome the magnetic locking force, thereby unlocking the magnetic device 42. Hold the front cover 2 and slide it a short distance away from the receiving cavity 5 along the guide rail 41 to the predetermined position. Continue to apply downward force, and the front cover 2 flips downward around the rotation axis of the damping hinge 43. When the front cover 2 flips to the first position (horizontal), the damping force keeps it stable and suspended, allowing the operator to safely and conveniently remove the old adhesive trap 23 and replace it with the new one. Push the front cover 2 upward to flip it over, and then push it along the sliding path towards the receiving cavity 5 to the closed position, whereby the magnetic device 42 automatically engages and locks.

[0079] When cleaning or inspecting the internal components of the insect control device: Unlock and slide the front cover 2 downwards as described above, continuing to flip the front cover 2 downwards past the first position (horizontal) until it reaches the second position (vertical), where the damping force will keep it stable and suspended. At this point, the front cover 2 hangs down, fully exposing the internal space of the base 1. The operator can then clean or replace the lamp tube 13, check if the lens of the insect monitoring and control unit 31 is clean, or perform other internal inspections. After maintenance is complete, flip the front cover 2 upwards to close and lock it.

[0080] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
