Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of termite control technology, and in particular to a bait device for monitoring termites. Background Technology

[0002] Termites, recognized globally as one of the five major pests, despite their tiny size, cause widespread damage across key sectors of the national economy. From people's daily clothing and food to transportation and everyday items, nothing is immune to their potential threats. Particularly serious are the significant hidden dangers they pose to building structures, the potential damage to reservoirs and dams, the insidious harm to forest and orchard ecosystems, and the interference with the stable operation of communication equipment. Their methods of infestation are extremely insidious; often, while the surface of the infested object appears intact, the interior has already suffered severe decay.

[0003] Given the stealthy nature of termite activity, accurately determining the presence of termite damage in a specific area is a significant challenge. Currently, the industry commonly uses bait station monitoring as a countermeasure. This involves evenly distributing a series of bait stations with wooden bait inside in the area to be monitored, and periodically checking the bait for termite infestation. However, while this method has some effectiveness, it has significant drawbacks: firstly, the large number of bait stations and the need for periodic inspections of each one require substantial manpower, increasing monitoring costs and difficulty; secondly, due to the intervals between inspections, termite activity may spread rapidly during this period, leading to significant damage by the time it is discovered, causing incalculable losses to buildings, water conservancy projects, agricultural ecosystems, and communication facilities.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bait device for monitoring termites. The bait device for monitoring termites includes a detachably connected upper cylinder (11) and a lower cylinder (12). A light-emitting element (13) is provided above the upper cylinder (11), and a power supply (14) electrically connected to the light-emitting element (13) is integrated inside. A first contact (15) and a second contact (16) electrically connected to the light-emitting element (13) are provided below the upper cylinder (11). A conductive copper sheet (17) capable of connecting to the first contact (15) and the second contact (16) is provided inside the lower cylinder (12). A movable... The movable block (18) is slidably disposed inside the lower cylinder (12), and the conductive copper sheet (17) has a first position connected to the first contact (15) and the second contact (16) and a second position disconnected from the first contact (15) and the second contact (16) on the movement trajectory of the movable block (18). The movable block (18) is connected to the bait (19), and a spring is supported below the movable block (18) so that the compression potential energy of the spring is converted into the sliding kinetic energy of the movable block (18) by the termites gnawing on the bait (19), so that the conductive copper sheet (17) can move to the first position to conduct the light source (13).

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder (12) is provided with a receiving space (121) and a through hole (122) communicating with the receiving space (121) is provided on the side wall. The bait (19) is placed in the receiving space (121). The bait (19) is placed below the moving block (18). A connecting rope (21) is provided between the bait (19) and the moving block (18).

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder body is further provided with a guide hole that matches the moving block, the moving block moves within the guide hole, and the spring is disposed at the bottom of the guide hole.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder is provided with a guide groove that connects to the guide hole, and the moving block is provided with a protrusion that matches the guide groove, the protrusion being engaged in the guide groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder has a pointed portion at its bottom.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the movable block is made of plastic, and the conductive copper sheet is connected to the movable block by screws.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the light source is a light bulb.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a light-emitting body, a light-emitting circuit connected to the light-emitting body, and a first contact and a second contact above the upper cylinder, and setting a movable conductive copper sheet on the lower cylinder, when termites eat the bait, the moving block moves upward and drives the conductive copper sheet to contact the first contact and the second contact. At this time, the light-emitting circuit is connected, and the light-emitting body emits light. In this way, the staff can determine that there are termites below the device based on the light of the light-emitting body. This eliminates the need to check the bait one by one, avoids the waste of a lot of manpower, and improves the efficiency of monitoring. Furthermore, a controller and a signal transmitter can be set inside the upper cylinder. The controller determines that there are termites based on the connection signal of the light-emitting circuit and transmits the signal of termites to the backend through the signal transmitter. In this way, the staff can know that there are termites in the area from the backend, thus realizing remote termite monitoring. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0016] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this application provides a technical solution: a bait device for monitoring termites, comprising a detachably connected upper cylinder 11 and a lower cylinder 12. A light-emitting element 13 is provided above the upper cylinder 11, and a power supply 14 electrically connected to the light-emitting element 13 is integrated inside. A first contact 15 and a second contact 16 electrically connected to the light-emitting element 13 are provided below the upper cylinder 11. A conductive copper sheet 17 capable of connecting to the first contact 15 and the second contact 16 is provided inside the lower cylinder 12. A movable block 18 is provided below the conductive copper sheet 17, and the movable block 18 is slidably disposed on the lower cylinder 12. Block 18 is slidably disposed inside the lower cylinder 12, and on the movement trajectory of the moving block 18, the conductive copper sheet 17 has a first position that is connected to the first contact 15 and the second contact 16 and a second position that is disconnected from the first contact 15 and the second contact 16. The moving block 18 is connected to the bait 19, that is, the moving block 18 and the bait 19 are pressed on the spring 22. The moving block 18 is supported by a spring below, so that the compression potential energy of the spring is converted into the sliding kinetic energy of the moving block 18 by the termites eating the bait 19, so that the conductive copper sheet 17 can move to the first position to conduct the light-emitting body 13.

[0017] The movable block 18 is positioned below bait 19. Bait 19 presses against spring 22, causing the movable block 18 to move downwards and compressing spring 22. At this time, the conductive copper sheet 17 disengages from the first contact 15 and the second contact 16, and the elastic force of spring 22 balances the weight of bait 19, resulting in the light-emitting body 13 being de-energized. When termites consume bait 19, its weight decreases, causing the rebound force of spring 22 to exceed the weight of bait 19. Spring 22 then pushes the movable block 18 upwards, causing... When the moving conductive copper sheet 17 contacts the first contact 15 and the second contact 16, the light-emitting circuit of the light-emitting body 13 is connected, and the light-emitting body 13 emits light. At this time, the staff can determine the presence of termites based on the light of the light-emitting body 13. This eliminates the need to check each bait 19 individually, thereby freeing up manpower and improving monitoring efficiency. The upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 12 are connected by threads, which allows for quick disassembly of the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 12 to facilitate the installation of internal components.

[0018] The purpose of this application is to detect termite activity traces with a low-cost and simple structure, without the need for complex electronic components. It is suitable for monitoring scenarios where remote monitoring is not required. Compared to the need to disassemble bait devices individually on-site to visually inspect bait consumption, this monitoring method offers the advantage of rapid identification. The bait 19 has a certain weight and can be made of wood that termites prefer, with the addition of attractants to enhance its effectiveness. In practical applications, since the above device uses a suspended bait method, multiple lightweight guide strips can be used. These lightweight guide strips can be made of nylon or polypropylene ropes and are fixed to the top of the bait cavity, allowing termites to move to them through the through-hole 122. The bottom of the lightweight guide strips is freely positioned above the bait 19, facilitating termite feeding. Utilizing the cooperative feeding characteristics of termite colonies, termites will both gnaw on the wood bait on-site and carry some of the bait back to their nest, effectively reducing the weight of the bait 19 to trigger the light-emitting element 13.

[0019] A controller and a signal transmitter can also be installed inside the upper cylinder 11. Both are electrically connected to the power supply 14. The controller determines the presence of termites based on the turn-on signal of the light source 13, and transmits the signal of termites to the back-end through the signal transmitter. This allows the back-end staff to quickly take countermeasures based on the signal.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder 12 is provided with a receiving space 121 and a through hole 122 communicating with the receiving space 121 on the side wall. The bait 19 is placed in the receiving space 121, and a connecting rope 21 is provided between the bait 19 and the moving block 18.

[0021] With the above structure, the through hole 122 is provided to facilitate termites to enter and gnaw on the bait 19. The connecting rope 21 can separate the moving block 18 from the bait 19, preventing termites from gnawing on the moving block 18 and thus affecting its movement.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder 12 is further provided with a guide hole 123 that matches the moving block 18, the moving block 18 moves within the guide hole 123, and the spring 22 is disposed at the bottom of the guide hole 123.

[0023] With the above structure, the guide hole 123 can prevent the moving block 18 from wobbling left and right, thus affecting the connection between the conductive copper sheet 17 and the first contact 15 and the second contact 16 when it moves upward.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder 12 is provided with a guide groove 124 that communicates with the guide hole 123, and the moving block 18 is provided with a protrusion 23 that matches the guide groove 124, and the protrusion 23 is inserted into the guide groove 124.

[0025] With the above structure, the moving block 18 cannot rotate during the up and down movement of the guide hole 123. This allows the conductive copper sheet 17 to move only in the vertical direction, preventing misalignment between the conductive copper sheet 17 and the first contact 15 and the second contact 16.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a pointed portion 24 is provided at the bottom of the lower cylinder 12.

[0027] With the above structure, the device can be easily inserted into the ground or other places that need to be monitored by setting the tip 24.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the movable block 18 is made of plastic, and the conductive copper sheet 17 is connected to the movable block 18 by screws.

[0029] With the above structure, the movable block 18 is an insulator, so the current in the circuit cannot pass through the movable block 18, thereby avoiding any impact on the brightness of the light-emitting element 13.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the light-emitting element 13 is a light bulb.

[0031] With the above structure, the light-emitting body 13 can also be an LED lamp or other electrically powered light-emitting object.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
