Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frog trapping technology, and in particular to a frog trapping device for pest control in rice cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] In rice cultivation, an excessive number of frogs can cause physical damage to the rice, such as trampling seedlings and digging holes that damage the paddy field ridges. The necessity of trapping and relocating frogs is to avoid direct physical damage (such as mechanical crushing) to frogs, their eggs, and tadpoles in the rice fields caused by agricultural operations (especially plowing, irrigation, and harvesting), while also preventing frogs from causing physical damage to the rice.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220936462U discloses a device for capturing and collecting wild frogs. This invention minimizes the time required for placing and retrieving the device, thus improving the time efficiency of researchers and ensuring research progress. The slider track and slide opening are designed to be mounted on the collection box to cooperate with the installation of a blocking slide. The blocking slide can seal the opening at the top of the collection box when the device is not in the capturing state.

[0004] However, existing frog trapping devices have the following drawbacks: when transferring frogs, the hard covers (metal / plastic) used in the existing traps can disrupt the integration with the environment due to surface reflection or foreign object sensation, triggering the frogs' wary instincts and causing them to actively avoid the traps; the use of consumable bait requires multiple manual feedings, which is labor-intensive and affects the efficiency of the trapping; and there are no protective measures for frogs when trapping them, so frogs that fall into the trapping device may be injured by physical impact. Utility Model Content

[0005] Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a frog trapping device for pest control in rice cultivation. It solves the problems of existing frog trapping and transfer methods, such as the rigid cover plate (metal / plastic) which, due to its reflective surface or foreign object feel, disrupts the integration with the environment, triggering the frogs' wary instincts and causing them to actively avoid the trap; the need for multiple manual feedings of consumable bait, which is labor-intensive and affects the trapping efficiency; and the lack of protective measures for frogs during trapping, which may cause physical injury to frogs that fall into the trapping device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A frog trapping device for pest control in rice cultivation includes a trapping box. The trapping box is equipped with a trapping mechanism to facilitate the trapping of frogs. The trapping mechanism includes a support plate, a movable plate, and a bionic insect. The support plate is slidably installed on the inner wall of the trapping box. The movable plate is located at the upper end of the trapping box, and the bionic insect is located at the upper end of the movable plate. Two circular grooves are opened through both ends of the trapping box. Multiple positioning cones are fixedly installed at the lower end of the trapping box. A sponge pad is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support plate. A buffer spring is fixedly installed between the support plate and the trapping box.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at both ends of the two movable plates, each rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the circular groove, and a torsion spring is fixedly installed between each rotating shaft and the circular groove.

[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the movable board is covered with a grass-like layer, and movable springs are fixedly installed between the two bionic insects and the movable board.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0012] I. This device combines a movable plate, an artificial grass layer, bionic insects, and movable springs. The artificial grass layer simulates the grassy environment of a rice paddy, visually blending the top of the device with the surrounding field and reducing the frogs' alertness. The artificial grass layer provides a "visual sense of security," significantly reducing the frogs' avoidance behavior. The bionic insects, fixed by the movable springs, will sway irregularly in the wind or with slight vibrations, simulating the micro-dynamics of live insects, thereby luring frogs to capture them. No human intervention is required, resulting in high trapping efficiency.

[0013] Second, this device uses a combination of a support plate, a sponge pad, and a buffer spring. The sponge pad absorbs energy through deformation to offset some of the impact force, while the bottom buffer spring provides secondary cushioning to prevent spinal injury or internal organ tremors in frogs, ensuring the safe capture and transfer of frogs. At the same time, the support plate supported by the buffer spring forms an unstable landing surface, causing random swaying when the frog jumps, disrupting the take-off point. Compared to a hard bottom surface, this can inhibit their escape behavior. Attached Figure Description

[0020] This application provides a frog trapping device for pest control in rice cultivation. It effectively solves the problems of existing frog trapping and transfer methods, such as the rigid cover plate (metal / plastic) which, due to its reflective surface or foreign object feel, disrupts the integration with the environment, triggering the frogs' wary instincts and causing them to actively avoid the trap; the need for manual feeding of consumable bait, which is labor-intensive and affects the trapping efficiency; and the lack of protective measures for frogs during trapping, which may cause injury to frogs that fall into the trapping device due to physical impact. This device uses a combination of a movable plate 3, a grass-like layer 33, a bionic insect 4, and a movable spring 41. The grass-like layer 33 simulates the grassy environment of rice paddies, making the top of the device visually blend with the surrounding fields and reducing the frogs' vigilance. The grass-like layer 33 provides a "visual sense of security," significantly reducing the frogs' avoidance behavior. The bionic insect 4, fixed by the movable spring 41, will sway irregularly under wind or slight vibration, simulating the micro-dynamics of live insects, thereby luring frogs to capture it.

[0021] Example

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The technical solution described in this application effectively solves the problems of existing frog trapping and transfer methods, such as the rigid cover plate (metal / plastic) which, due to its reflective surface or foreign object feel, disrupts environmental integration and triggers the frogs' wary instinct to actively avoid it; the need for multiple manual feedings of consumable bait, which is labor-intensive and affects trapping efficiency; and the lack of protective measures for frogs during trapping, which may cause injury to frogs falling into the trapping device due to physical impact. The overall idea is as follows: A frog trapping device for rice planting pest control, including a trapping box 1, a trapping box 2, a trapping box 3, a trapping box 4, a trapping box 5, a trapping box 6, a trapping box 7, a trapping box 8, a trapping box 9, a trapping box 1 ... The trap box 1 is equipped with a trapping mechanism for catching frogs. The trapping mechanism includes a support plate 2, a movable plate 3, and a bionic insect 4. The support plate 2 is slidably installed on the inner side wall of the trap box 1. The movable plate 3 is located at the upper end of the trap box 1. The bionic insect 4 is located at the upper end of the movable plate 3. Two circular grooves 13 are opened through both ends of the trap box 1. Multiple positioning cones 11 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the trap box 1. The user can place the trap box 1 between rice paddy ridges and fix the trap box 1 by inserting the positioning cones 11 on the trap box 1 into the soil of the ridge.

[0023] A sponge pad 21 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support plate 2. A buffer spring 22 is fixedly installed between the support plate 2 and the trap box 1. When the frog falls into the trap box 1, it will fall onto the sponge pad 21. The buffer spring 22 is set between the support plate 2 and the trap box 1. When the frog falls from the entrance, the sponge pad 21 absorbs energy through deformation to offset a certain impact force. The bottom buffer spring 22 further provides secondary cushioning to avoid spinal injury or internal organ tremor in the frog. At the same time, the support plate 2 supported by the buffer spring 22 forms an unstable landing surface. When the frog jumps, it will sway randomly, which will disrupt the take-off force point. Compared with a hard bottom surface, it can inhibit its escape behavior.

[0024] Two movable plates 3 are fixedly installed with rotating shafts 31 on both sides. Each rotating shaft 31 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the circular groove 13. Each rotating shaft 31 and the circular groove 13 are fixedly installed with torsion springs 32. When the frog jumps onto the movable plate 3 to "catch" the bionic insect 4, the bionic insect 4 is located near the middle of the movable plate 3. When the frog jumps onto the movable plate 3, the movable plate 3 will rotate the rotating shafts 31 in the circular groove 13 due to gravity. At this time, the torsion springs 32 are compressed. When the movable plate 3 rotates, the frog will fall into the trap box 1 due to gravity.

[0025] The upper part of the movable board 3 is covered with a grass-like layer 33. The grass-like layer 33 and the bionic insect 4 are set on the two movable boards 3 on the trap box 1. The grass-like layer 33 can simulate the grassy environment of rice fields, so that the top of the device can be visually integrated with the surrounding fields. Frogs such as black-spotted frogs and marsh frogs are naturally wary, and exposed traps are easily identified as threats. The grass-like layer 33 provides "visual security" and greatly reduces the avoidance behavior of frogs.

[0026] Two bionic insects 4 and a movable board 3 are fixedly installed with movable springs 41. The bionic insects 4, which are fixed by the movable springs 41, will swing irregularly under wind or slight vibration, simulating the micro-dynamics of live insects, thereby luring frogs to catch them.

[0027] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a frog trapping device for pest control in rice cultivation. This device is made by combining a movable plate 3, a grass-like layer 33, a bionic insect 4, and a movable spring 41. The grass-like layer 33 can simulate the grassy environment of rice fields, making the top of the device visually blend with the surrounding fields, reducing the frogs' vigilance. The grass-like layer 33 provides a "visual sense of security," which greatly reduces the frogs' avoidance behavior. The bionic insect 4, which is fixed by the movable spring 41, will sway irregularly under wind or slight vibration, simulating the micro-dynamics of live insects, thereby luring frogs to be captured.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In rice cultivation, an excessive number of frogs can cause physical damage to the rice, such as trampling seedlings and digging holes that damage the paddy field ridges. Therefore, it is necessary to safely trap and relocate the frogs. Users can place the trapping box 1 among the rice paddy ridges and fix it in place by inserting the positioning cone 11 into the soil. Two movable plates 3 on the trapping box 1 are fitted with a simulated grass layer 33 and a bionic insect 4. The simulated grass layer 33 mimics the grassy environment of the rice paddy, visually blending the top of the device with the surrounding field. Frogs, such as the black-spotted frog and the marsh frog, are naturally wary, and exposed traps are easily perceived as threats. The simulated grass layer 33 provides "visual safety," significantly reducing frog avoidance behavior. The bionic insect 4, fixed by a movable spring 41, will sway irregularly in the wind or with slight vibrations, simulating the micro-movements of live insects, thus luring frogs to capture it. When the frog jumps onto the movable board 3 to "catch" the bionic insect 4, the bionic insect 4 is located near the middle of the movable board 3. When the frog jumps onto the movable board 3, the movable board 3 is driven by gravity to rotate the pivot 31 in the circular groove 13. At this time, the torsion spring 32 is compressed. When the movable board 3 rotates, the frog will fall into the trap box 1 by gravity. After falling into the trap box 1, the frog will fall onto the sponge pad 21. A buffer spring 22 is set between the support plate 2 and the trap box 1. When the frog falls from the entrance, the sponge pad 21 absorbs energy through deformation to offset a certain impact force. The bottom buffer spring 22 further provides secondary cushioning to avoid spinal injury or internal organ tremors in the frog. At the same time, the support plate 2 supported by the buffer spring 22 forms an unstable landing surface. When the frog jumps, it will sway randomly, which will disrupt the take-off force point. Compared with a hard bottom surface, it can inhibit its escape behavior.In existing frog trapping and transfer methods, the rigid covers (metal / plastic) used disrupt environmental integration due to surface reflection or a foreign object feel, triggering the frogs' wary instincts and causing them to actively avoid the trap. The use of consumable bait requires multiple manual refills, consuming manpower and affecting trapping efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of protective measures for frogs during trapping means that frogs falling into the trap may suffer physical injury from impact. This device, however, utilizes a combination of a movable plate 3, a simulated grass layer 33, a bionic insect 4, and a movable spring 41. The simulated grass layer 33 mimics the environment of a rice paddy field, visually blending the top of the device with the surrounding field, reducing the frogs' alertness. The simulated grass layer 33 provides a sense of "visual security," significantly reducing the frogs' avoidance behavior. The bionic insect 4, fixed by the movable spring 41, will sway irregularly under wind or slight vibration, simulating the micro-dynamics of a live insect, thereby luring frogs to capture it. No human intervention is required, and the trapping efficiency is high. This device uses a support plate 2, a sponge pad 21, and a buffer spring 22 in combination. The sponge pad 21 absorbs energy through deformation to offset a certain impact force, and the bottom buffer spring 22 provides secondary cushioning to avoid spinal injury or internal organ tremors in frogs, ensuring the safe trapping and transfer of frogs. At the same time, the support plate 2 supported by the buffer spring 22 forms an unstable landing surface. When the frog jumps, it will sway randomly, disrupting the take-off point. Compared with a hard bottom surface, it can inhibit its escape behavior.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
