Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutworm traps, and in particular to a cutworm trap for beet armyworms. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional beet armyworm traps are mostly designed based on the principle of "phototaxis," typically using common broad-spectrum light sources (such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps) to attract beet armyworms, and then using open containers or sticky traps for capture. The specific structure generally includes a light source area, a collection area, and a fixed support: the light source area emits light to attract moths, and the collection area is usually an open container or a flat surface with adhesive, relying on the moths actively flying in or sticking to it for capture. This results in existing beet armyworm traps having problems such as low capture efficiency and susceptibility to environmental interference. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least solve the technical problem of low capture efficiency in the prior art, and innovatively proposes a beet armyworm catcher.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, this utility model provides a beet armyworm trap, the trap comprising: Mounting plate; A moth-killing trough is provided on the mounting plate, and the moth-killing trough is filled with moth-killing oil; The moth collection bin is mounted on the mounting plate and located above the moth-killing trough; The lighting is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the moth collection chamber and located at the top of the moth extermination trough; A hair dryer is mounted on the mounting plate and positioned opposite the opening of the moth collection chamber.

[0005] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the head of the moth collection chamber is open, and the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the opening is larger than the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the tail of the moth collection chamber.

[0007] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the lighting lamp may optionally employ a light source of a specific wavelength.

[0008] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the blower can guide the approaching beet armyworm into the moth collection chamber by generating a directional airflow.

[0009] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the wind speed and air outlet angle of the hair dryer are adjustable.

[0010] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the mounting plate may be provided with height-adjustable support legs.

[0011] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the edge of the moth-killing groove may be inclined outward.

[0012] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the opening of the moth collection chamber may also be provided with a mesh-like protective net.

[0013] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the moth collection bin may be detachably mounted on the mounting plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It generates a directional, adjustable airflow through a blower, combined with a structural design where the cross-sectional area of ​​the moth collection chamber opening is larger than that of the tail, forming an active capture path of "attracting-guiding-entering," avoiding reliance on moths actively flying in; the sticky moth-adhesive patch on the inner wall and the moth-killing oil in the moth-killing trough form a dual moth-killing mechanism, with the sticky patch preventing escape after entry and the moth-killing oil ensuring complete killing after falling in; the outward-sloping edge of the moth-killing trough facilitates better entry of moths, and the mesh protective net prevents large external obstacles from being blown in; the detachable structure of the moth collection chamber facilitates regular cleaning and maintenance, maintaining the high efficiency of the sticky substance, resulting in an overall efficient, stable, and easy-to-maintain beet armyworm capture effect.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a beet armyworm trap includes: Mounting plate 1; In this embodiment, mounting plate 1 is a cuboid structure made of lightweight yet sturdy aluminum alloy to ensure the stability and durability of the overall structure. The surface of mounting plate 1 is treated with rust and corrosion prevention to meet the long-term use requirements of complex outdoor environments.

[0021] Moth-killing trough 2 is provided on the mounting plate 1, and moth-killing oil is provided inside the moth-killing trough 2; for example Figure 1 As shown, the moth-killing trough 2 is located in the middle of the mounting plate 1. Its depth and width ensure that it can hold enough moth-killing oil while preventing spillage. The outward-sloping edges of the moth-killing trough 2 not only facilitate the beet armyworm's sliding into the trough but also effectively reduce oil splashing caused by the moth's struggle, keeping the surrounding environment clean.

[0022] The moth-killing oil in this embodiment is a commercially available moth-killing oil with a high-efficiency killing effect.

[0023] The moth-collecting chamber 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 1 and located above the moth-killing trough 2. The head opening 6 of the moth-collecting chamber 3 is designed in a flared shape, with a significantly larger cross-sectional area than the tail, forming a funnel-shaped guiding structure that further enhances its ability to capture beet armyworms. The inner wall of the moth-collecting chamber 3 is covered with sticky moth patches (such as mosquito sticky patches). This adhesive material has high adhesion and long-lasting effect, firmly adhering to beet armyworms entering the chamber and preventing their escape. Furthermore, the moth-collecting chamber 3 features a detachable design, allowing users to periodically clean internal residues or replace the sticky moth patches, thus ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the trap.

[0024] The lighting lamp 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the moth collection chamber 3 by a screw, and is located on top of the moth-killing trough 2. Its light source is specially selected to emit light of a specific wavelength. This light has a strong attraction to beet armyworms and can significantly improve the trapping effect compared to a broad-spectrum light source.

[0025] A blower 5 is mounted on the mounting plate 1 and positioned opposite the opening 6 of the moth collection chamber 3. In this embodiment, the blower 5 is a commercially available product. It generates a directional airflow to guide beet armyworms approaching the trap into the moth collection chamber 3. To adapt to different usage scenarios, the blower 5 is selected with adjustable wind speed and airflow angle, allowing users to flexibly adjust it according to actual needs to achieve the best capture effect.

[0026] The operating principle of this beet armyworm trap is as follows: First, turn on the light 4 and the blower 5. The light 4 emits light of a specific wavelength, which strongly attracts beet armyworms. Guided by the light, the beet armyworms fly towards the trap, approaching the opening 6 of the moth collection chamber 3. The directional airflow generated by the blower 5 further passively guides the beet armyworms into the moth collection chamber 3. Because the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the opening 6 at the head of the moth collection chamber 3 is larger than that at the tail, forming a funnel-shaped structure, combined with the action of the blower 5, once the beet armyworms enter, they find it difficult to escape. After being acted upon by the blower 5, the sticky moth-catching material on the inner wall of the moth collection chamber 3 firmly adheres to the entered beet armyworms, preventing them from struggling or escaping. Some beet armyworms that are not captured by the sticky material may continue to move towards the moth-killing trough 2, eventually sliding into the moth-killing trough 2 containing moth-killing oil and being completely killed. The outward-sloping edge design of the moth-killing trough 2 ensures that the beet armyworms can smoothly slide into the trough. The user can adjust the wind speed and airflow angle of the blower 5 according to the actual situation to optimize the capture efficiency. Regularly disassemble the moth collection chamber 3 for cleaning and replace the moth-sticking patches to ensure that the trap maintains a high-efficiency working condition for a long time.

[0027] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the head of the moth collection chamber 3 is an opening 6, and the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the opening 6 is larger than the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the tail of the moth collection chamber 3.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the head opening 6 of the moth collection chamber 3 is designed with a widened shape, its longitudinal cross-sectional area being significantly larger than that of the tail, forming a funnel-shaped guiding structure. This design not only enhances the capture effect on beet armyworms but also effectively reduces their chance of escape. When beet armyworms approach the trap, they are guided to the opening 6 by the directional airflow generated by the blower 5. Due to the widened design of the opening 6, the moths can more easily enter the moth collection chamber 3. Once inside, the smaller longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the tail creates a physical obstacle, making it difficult for the beet armyworms to find an exit, thus trapping them inside the moth collection chamber 3. Furthermore, this structure can work in conjunction with the airflow of the blower 5 to further improve capture efficiency, ensuring that beet armyworms cannot easily escape after entering.

[0029] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the moth collection chamber 3 is provided with moth-sticking patches.

[0030] In this embodiment, the moth-adhesive patch is attached to the inner wall of the moth collection chamber 3 using Velcro. The patch can firmly trap beet armyworms entering the collection chamber 3 while avoiding environmental pollution. Its surface is coated with a special adhesive that maintains stable adhesion under various temperature and humidity conditions, ensuring that it will not fail due to environmental changes during long-term use.

[0031] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the lighting lamp 4 may optionally employ a light source of a specific wavelength. In this embodiment, the lighting lamp 4 is a commercially available product.

[0032] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the blower 5 can guide the approaching beet armyworm into the moth collection chamber 3 by generating a directional airflow.

[0033] In this embodiment, the blower 5 is fixed to the mounting plate 1 with screws. During use, the operator adjusts the wind speed and air outlet angle of the blower 5 to ensure that the airflow accurately guides the beet armyworm to the opening 6 of the moth collection chamber 3. By adjusting the parameters of the blower 5, it can adapt to different environmental conditions and the activity patterns of the beet armyworm, thereby improving capture efficiency. For example, at lower wind speeds, the airflow is gentler and suitable for periods when the beet armyworm is less active; while at higher wind speeds, the airflow is more forceful and can cover a wider area, making it suitable for areas with higher beet armyworm density.

[0034] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the wind speed and air outlet angle of the hair dryer 5 are adjustable.

[0035] In use, the precise capture of beet armyworms can be achieved by adjusting the wind speed and air outlet angle of the blower 5. When the wind speed is set low, the airflow generated by the blower 5 is gentler, effectively guiding beet armyworms with slower flight speeds or longer distances into the moth collection chamber 3. When the wind speed is increased, the strong airflow covers a wider area, quickly driving beet armyworms in high-density areas to the vicinity of the trap. In addition, by adjusting the air outlet angle, the airflow direction can be optimally matched with the opening 6 of the moth collection chamber 3, further improving capture efficiency. For example, during the nighttime period when beet armyworm activity is high, appropriately increasing the air outlet angle and wind speed can significantly increase the capture volume; while when activity decreases in the early morning or evening, the wind speed can be reduced and the air outlet angle narrowed to save energy and maintain a stable capture effect.

[0036] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the mounting plate 1 is provided with height-adjustable support legs 7.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the mounting plate 1 in this embodiment has four support legs 7 installed at its bottom. The height of each support leg 7 is adjustable. The height adjustment principle is as follows: the support legs 7 use an existing threaded knob structure for height adjustment. The user only needs to rotate the threaded knob to extend or retract the support leg 7. This design allows the catcher to adapt to different terrain conditions. Whether on flat ground or in an area with a certain slope, the mounting plate 1 can be kept level by adjusting the height of the support legs 7. In addition, the bottom of the support legs 7 is equipped with anti-slip pads, which can increase the friction with the ground and prevent the catcher from shifting or tipping over during use.

[0038] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the edge of the moth-killing groove 2 may be inclined to the outside of the moth-killing groove 2.

[0039] The edge of the moth-trapping trough 2 is designed to slope outwards, a structure that effectively guides beet armyworms into the trough. The angle of the slope reduces the probability of the moths escaping while struggling at the edge.

[0040] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the opening 6 of the moth collection chamber 3 may also be provided with a mesh-like protective net (not shown in the figure).

[0041] In this embodiment, the mesh-like protective net is installed on the opening 6 of the moth-collecting chamber 3 via lotus leaves. This prevents large external obstacles from being blown into the chamber 3 by the airflow when the blower 5 is operating, and also avoids excessive impact and damage to beet armyworms during their entry. The mesh-like protective net ensures smooth airflow while effectively blocking foreign objects such as leaves and small branches that might interfere with the normal operation of the trap. Furthermore, the protective net is made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength stainless steel wire, and its surface is treated with rust prevention, enabling it to maintain stable performance in outdoor environments for extended periods. In this embodiment, the mesh-like protective net is made of aluminum alloy.

[0042] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the moth collection bin 3 may be detachably mounted on the mounting plate 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the moth collection chamber 3 is detachably fixed to the mounting plate 1 with screws. When disassembly is required, the moth collection chamber 3 can be easily removed by simply unscrewing the screws with a screwdriver. This detachable design greatly facilitates the user's daily maintenance and cleaning. When the moth-catching stickers inside the moth collection chamber 3 need to be replaced or when a lot of residue accumulates inside the chamber, the user can quickly remove them for cleaning and replacement, ensuring that the trap always maintains its efficient trapping performance.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
