Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vector-borne disease trapping technology, and in particular to a trapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Monitoring disease vectors is of great significance for disease prevention and control. Traditional techniques use trapping devices to capture disease vectors and obtain their biological information to monitor disease vectors in a certain environment.

[0003] However, current trapping equipment suffers from low environmental adaptability, leading to frequent malfunctions, poor trapping results, and difficulties in maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a trapping device to address the above problems.

[0005] This application provides a trapping device for trapping disease-carrying organisms. The trapping device includes a housing, a main unit, and an electronic control module. A region on the outer surface of the housing is recessed inward to form a receiving groove. The housing includes a first shell portion and a second shell portion, which are separated by the receiving groove in the height direction of the housing. The first shell portion is located above the second shell portion, and the receiving groove includes a first groove wall at the top. The main unit is disposed in the first shell portion and communicates with the receiving groove through the first groove wall to supply an attraction medium to the outside and to suck up disease-carrying organisms. The electronic control module is disposed in the second shell portion. The first shell portion includes a first cover, which is closable to open and close the inner cavity of the first shell portion. The housing also includes a second cover, which extends and is distributed in the region where the first shell portion and the second shell portion are located, and is closable to open the inner cavity of the first shell portion and the inner cavity of the second shell portion.

[0006] In one embodiment, the host includes an output pipe and an interface component. The interface component passes through the first groove wall and communicates with the receiving groove. The interface component allows pathogenic organisms to enter. The output pipe passes through the interface component and extends outward relative to the interface component and the first groove wall to extend into the receiving groove.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first groove wall has a through-hole first interface, and the interface component passes through the first interface.

[0008] In one embodiment, the host includes a collection component and an aspiration medium supply component. The collection component includes a collection box, the interface component, and the output tube. The interface component is in communication with the collection box. The output tube has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other. The first end extends outward through the interface component to the receiving groove, and the second end extends outward through the interface component and is located inside the first housing portion to communicate with the aspiration medium supply component.

[0009] In one embodiment, the suction medium supply component includes a suction member that communicates with the receiving groove via the first groove wall.

[0010] In one embodiment, the receiving groove further includes a second groove wall and a third groove wall, the second groove wall being disposed opposite to the first groove wall in the height direction of the housing, and the third groove wall being connected between the first groove wall and the second groove wall; in the direction away from the third groove wall, the gap between the first groove wall and the second groove wall gradually increases.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first housing portion further includes a first housing, with the first cap and the second cap located on different sides of the first housing.

[0012] In one embodiment, the receiving groove and the second cover are distributed on opposite sides of the housing.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first shell portion further includes a first housing, the second shell portion includes a second housing, and the first cover is hinged to the first housing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second cover is hinged to both the first housing and the second housing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the electronic control module includes a substrate and a plurality of functional modules, the plurality of functional modules being at least partially disposed on the side of the substrate facing the second cover.

[0016] In the aforementioned trapping device, the main unit is located inside the first housing. The first housing can be opened via a first cover for targeted maintenance of the main unit. Simultaneously, a second cover can open the inner cavities of both the first and second housings, exposing the main unit and the electronic control module to the outside for easy overall maintenance. This design allows for both partial and overall maintenance of the trapping device by operating different covers, improving the flexibility and convenience of maintenance.

[0017] The first wall at the top of the receiving slot connects the main unit to the receiving slot, meaning the main unit's interface connects to the receiving slot from top to bottom. This reduces the risk of rainwater or dust entering the main unit through the interface in outdoor environments. Furthermore, the receiving slot is recessed on the outer surface of the casing, providing a degree of isolation from the external environment. Therefore, configuring the main unit to connect to the outside via the receiving slot further reduces potential interference to the main unit.

[0018] The trapping device provided in this application uses a recessed receiving groove as a dividing line to partition the casing, so that the main unit and the electronic control module are located in different areas inside the casing. This not only enables flexible and convenient maintenance, but also allows the main unit's interface to connect to the outside from top to bottom, improving the overall waterproof and dustproof performance of the device and making the trapping device fully adaptable to outdoor environments.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0031] The trapping device provided in one embodiment of this application is used to trap disease vectors and collect their biological information for monitoring disease vectors in a given environment. The trapping device provided in this application has high protective capabilities and is easier to maintain, therefore it is compatible with various outdoor environments.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This paper shows an isometric schematic diagram of a trapping device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The side view of the trapping device shown. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the trapping device along line AA. The trapping device 10 includes a housing 100, a main unit 200, and an electronic control module 300. Both the main unit 200 and the electronic control module 300 are housed within the housing 100, which provides protection for both. The main unit 200 is used to attract and collect disease vectors.

[0033] A region on the outer surface of the housing 100 is recessed inward to form a receiving groove 101. The housing 100 includes a first housing portion 110 and a second housing portion 120, with the receiving groove 101 serving as the boundary along the height direction H of the housing 100. The first housing portion 110 is located above the second housing portion 120. The main unit 200 is disposed within the first housing portion 110, and the electronic control module 300 is disposed within the second housing portion 120. The receiving groove 101 includes a first groove wall 102 located at the top. The main unit 200 communicates with the receiving groove 101 through the first groove wall 102 to supply an aspiration medium to the outside and to aspirate pathogens. The first housing portion 110 includes a first cover 112, which is closable to open and close the inner cavity of the first housing portion 110. The housing 100 also includes a second cover 140, which extends and is distributed in the area where the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 are located, and is closable to open the inner cavity of the first housing portion 110 and the inner cavity of the second housing portion 120.

[0034] In the aforementioned trapping device 10, the main unit 200 is housed within the first housing 110. The first housing 110 can be opened via the first cover 112 for targeted maintenance of the main unit 200. Simultaneously, the second cover 140 can open the inner cavities of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, exposing both the main unit 200 and the electronic control module 300 to the outside, facilitating overall maintenance. This arrangement allows for both partial and overall maintenance of the trapping device 10 by operating different covers, improving the flexibility and convenience of maintenance.

[0035] The first wall 102 at the top of the receiving trough 101 allows the main unit 200 to communicate with the receiving trough 101, meaning the interface of the main unit 200 is connected to the receiving trough 101 from top to bottom. This reduces the risk of rainwater or dust entering the main unit 200 from the interface in outdoor environments. Furthermore, the receiving trough 101 is recessed on the outer surface of the housing 100, providing a certain degree of isolation from the external environment. Therefore, configuring the main unit 200 to communicate with the outside through the receiving trough 101 further reduces potential interference to the main unit 200. Moreover, since the main unit 200 communicates with the outside through the receiving trough 101, and the receiving trough 101, as a cavity relatively isolated from the external environment, has a certain effect of accumulating and attracting the medium. Thus, the attracted medium can form a locally high concentration within the receiving trough 101, enhancing the attraction effect and making diffusion more controllable, resulting in better trapping effects in open outdoor environments.

[0036] The trapping device 10 provided in this application is designed with the recessed receiving groove 101 as the dividing line to divide the housing 100 into sections, so that the main unit 200 and the electronic control module 300 are located in different areas inside the housing 100. This not only enables flexible and convenient maintenance, but also allows the interface of the main unit 200 to be connected to the outside from top to bottom, improving the overall waterproof and dustproof performance of the device, so that the trapping device 10 can be fully adapted to the outdoor environment.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 Combined Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first housing portion 110 further includes a first housing 111, which is hollow, and the main unit 200 is disposed inside the first housing 111. The second housing portion 120 includes a second housing 121, which is hollow, and the electronic control module 300 is disposed inside the second housing 121.

[0038] The first cover 112 is hinged to the first housing 111, allowing it to rotate to a position where the inner cavity of the first housing 111 is open, and to a position where the inner cavity of the first housing 111 is closed. Furthermore, the first housing 111 has a first opening 113, which allows the inner cavity of the first housing 111 to communicate with the outside. The first cover 112 is used to open and close the first opening 113.

[0039] The second cover 140 is hinged to the first housing 111 and the second housing 121 respectively, so as to rotate to a position that opens the inner cavity of the first housing 111 and the inner cavity of the second housing 121, and to a position that closes the inner cavities of the first housing 111 and the second housing 121. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 Furthermore, the housing 100 has a second opening 105, which extends and is distributed in the first housing 111 and the second housing 121, and allows the inner cavities of both to communicate with the outside. The second cover 140 is used to open and close the second opening 105.

[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the first cover 112 can also be movably connected to the first housing 111 in other ways, for example, the first cover 112 can be configured to be slidably connected to the first housing 111. Similarly, the second cover 140 can also be movably connected to the first housing 111 and the second housing 121 in other ways, such as a sliding connection.

[0041] In one embodiment, the housing 100 further includes a transition housing portion 130, which connects the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120, and the receiving groove 101 is recessed in the transition housing portion 130. It is understood that some structures of the main unit 200 and some structures of the electronic control module 300 may extend into the transition housing portion 130 to make full use of the space.

[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first opening 113 may be located at the top of the first housing 111. That is, the first cover 112 is rotatably connected to the top of the first housing 111 to allow the first cover 112 to be opened and closed. Simultaneously, positioning the first opening 113 at the top also facilitates maintenance of the main unit 200 through the first opening 113.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first cover 112 and the second cover 140 are located on different sides of the first housing 111. Thus, by opening the first cover 112 and the second cover 140 respectively, different sides of the main unit 200 can be exposed to the outside, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of various parts of the main unit 200 and the components of the main unit 200 located in various positions.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the receiving groove 101 and the second cover 140 are distributed on opposite sides of the housing 100 to reduce the risk that the opening and closing operation of the second cover 140 will affect the sealing of the host 200 and the external interface.

[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the receiving groove 101 further includes a second groove wall 103 and a third groove wall 104. The second groove wall 103 is disposed facing the first groove wall 102 in the height direction H of the housing 100. The third groove wall 104 connects the first groove wall 102 and the second groove wall 103, that is, the second groove wall 103 is the bottom wall of the receiving groove 101, and the third groove wall 104 is the inner sidewall of the receiving groove 101. In the direction away from the third groove wall 104, the interval between the first groove wall 102 and the second groove wall 103 gradually increases, that is, the receiving groove 101 is generally outwardly expanding, so that the receiving groove 101 can not only accommodate the attracting medium, but also guide the attracting medium to diffuse outward, so as to fully attract pathogenic organisms.

[0046] It is understandable that the second tank wall 103 can be bent or tilted away from the first tank wall 102 in order to guide the attraction medium to diffuse outward.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 Combined Figure 3In one embodiment, the host 200 includes an interface 211 and an output tube 212. The interface 211 passes through the first groove wall 102 and communicates with the receiving groove 101, allowing pathogenic organisms to enter. The output tube 212 passes through the interface 211 and extends outward relative to the interface 211 and the first groove wall 102, extending into the receiving groove 101. With this configuration, pathogenic organisms attracted by the suction medium output from the output tube 212 can accumulate at the interface 211, and be directly and effectively inhaled under the guidance of the negative pressure within the interface 211.

[0048] It should be noted that by configuring the output tube 212 to extend outward relative to the interface component 211, the risk of the suction medium being directly sucked into the interface component 211 can be reduced, so that the suction medium output by the output tube 212 can be effectively diffused within the receiving groove 101.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 Combined Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first groove wall 102 is provided with a first interface 102a, and the interface member 211 passes through the first interface 102a to communicate with the receiving groove 101.

[0050] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the host 200 includes a collection component 210 and an attraction medium supply component 220. The collection component 210 includes a collection box 213, an interface 211 and an output tube 212 as described above. The interface 211 communicates with the collection box 213, allowing information to be collected from inhaled vector organisms within the collection box 213. The attraction medium supply component 220 communicates with the output tube 212 to supply attraction medium externally. It is understood that the attraction medium can be specifically tailored to the vector organisms that the trapping device 10 intends to trap. As one example, the attraction medium can be configured as carbon dioxide. Alternatively, the attraction medium can be configured as a sweat-mimicking substance (e.g., containing one or more components such as lactic acid, octenol, and acetone).

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the output tube 212 further has a first end 212a and a second end 212b disposed opposite to each other. The first end 212a extends outward to the receiving groove 101 via the interface member 211, and the second end 212b passes through the interface member 211 and is located inside the first housing portion 110, so as to communicate with the suction medium supply component 220.

[0052] In one embodiment, the collection component 210 further includes a negative pressure generator (not shown, the same below), which is connected to the collection box 213 and the interface 211 to create a negative pressure in the inner cavity of both, guiding the attracted disease vectors into the collection box 213 through the interface 211.

[0053] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, as described above, the first housing 110 has a first opening 113, and the collecting component 210 and the suction medium supply component 220 are arranged side by side in a plane parallel to the plane containing the first opening 113. Thus, after opening the first opening 113, the collecting component 210 and the suction medium supply component 220 can be easily inspected and maintained.

[0054] In one embodiment, when the attraction medium is configured as carbon dioxide, the attraction medium supply component 220 can draw in outside air to obtain carbon dioxide from the air. Since the trapping device 10 provided in this application can expose the attraction medium supply component 220 to the external environment by opening the first cover 112, the consumables inside the attraction medium supply component 220 can be easily replaced or the entire attraction medium supply component 220 can be replaced.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 Combined Figure 1 In one embodiment, the aspiration medium supply component 220 includes a first fan 221 and a second fan 222, which are connected to the receiving tank 101 via a first tank wall 102. One of the first fan 221 and the second fan 222 is used to draw in external air, and the other is used to output air, thereby creating a continuous airflow within the aspiration medium supply component 220 to continuously capture carbon dioxide from the air. It should be noted that the first fan 221 and the second fan 222 can promote air circulation within the receiving tank 101 to a certain extent, facilitating the guidance of disease vectors from the external environment into the receiving tank 101. Combined with the high concentration of aspiration medium within the receiving tank 101, this effectively attracts disease vectors.

[0056] Furthermore, the first tank wall 102 is also provided with a second interface 102b. There are multiple second interfaces 102b. The first fan 221 and the second fan 222 are respectively connected to the receiving tank 101 through the second interface 102b.

[0057] It should be understood that when the suction medium supply component 220 is configured not to have the function of manufacturing the suction medium, it can be configured to store the suction medium. In this case, the suction medium can be replenished to the suction medium supply component 220 by opening the first cover 112.

[0058] Please see Figure 5 Combined Figure 3 In one embodiment, the electronic control module 300 includes a substrate 310 and multiple functional modules (not shown, the same below), with the multiple functional modules at least partially disposed on the side of the substrate 310 facing the second cover 140. Thus, the functional modules can be easily inspected and repaired after opening the second cover 140.

[0059] Furthermore, the substrate 310 can be configured as a mainboard, or the substrate 310 can simply serve as a mechanical structural component with mounting support function.

[0060] Multiple functional modules may include at least one of a Bluetooth module, a monitoring sensor, and a power management module.

[0061] In one embodiment, the trapping device 10 further includes an energy storage component 400, which is used to power the host 200 and the electronic control module 300.

[0062] In one embodiment, the host 200, the electronic control module 300, and the energy storage device 400 can dissipate heat through the first interface 102a and the second interface 102b.

[0063] In one embodiment, the housing 100 is also provided with a heat dissipation vent (not shown in the figure, the same below), with the vent opening facing downwards to dissipate heat from the main unit 200, the electronic control module 300 and the energy storage device 400, and to reduce the risk of external rainwater and dust entering.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the trapping device 10 further includes a bracket 500 disposed within a receiving groove 101. The bracket 500 supports a receiving box 20, which in turn contains an attraction medium. In other words, an external attraction medium can also be used to attract disease vectors.

[0065] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0066] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
