Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of insect collecting and packaging, and more particularly to an insect collecting and packaging device and method of use thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] "Green, eco-friendly, high-quality, and safe" has become the international consensus and trend for the development of high-quality tobacco. In recent years, the severity of pest damage has worsened due to adjustments in agricultural cropping patterns, global warming, the serious invasion of migratory invasive species, pest resistance due to the overuse of pesticides, and a decline in natural predators. In particular, damage from lepidopteran pests such as the common cutworm, tobacco borer, and cutworm has been increasing. Statistics show that lepidopteran pests cause annual tobacco leaf losses of 5% to 10%, with losses exceeding 15% in years of severe outbreaks. The fall armyworm and the European corn borer are major pests in large-scale agricultural production in tobacco-growing regions, causing significant damage to major food crops such as corn and wheat. In severe cases, they can reduce corn yields by 20% to 40%. Currently, spraying chemical pesticides is the main means of preventing and controlling lepidopteran pests, but lepidopteran pests are prone to developing resistance to insecticides, making the prevention and control effect poor.

[0003] The Japanese stink bug is a native predatory insect discovered by Chu Xiong Nanhua. It is capable of preying on the larvae of a wide variety of Lepidoptera pests in agriculture and forestry, such as the common cutworm, cotton bollworm, tobacco budworm, leaf fall armyworm, beet armyworm, and European corn borer. It preys on a wide variety of pests, in large numbers, and over a wide range of activities, earning it the title of "king of insect killers."

[0004] The stink bug is a living insect that prefers to gather and become entangled at the top of its breeding web. Its small size, long horns and limbs, and fragile body shell make it difficult to separate. Currently, it is manually separated from the breeding web and then transferred to another breeding web or placed in a feeding cup. During the collection and packaging stage, counting and packaging the stink bugs is time-consuming, resulting in a heavy workload, slow collection speed, and inaccurate counting, all of which increase production costs and limit large-scale breeding. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an insect collecting and packaging device and a method for using the same that solves problems such as low mechanization, high operating costs, low production efficiency, and inaccurate cup counts in the large-scale breeding process of A. phlegmaria, reducing manual labor and enabling accurate management of collection and packaging in the large-scale breeding of A. phlegmaria.

A method of using an insect collection and packaging device, comprising: Step S1 of dropping the cup, which is operated by a cup dropping member; a step S2 of filling the sawdust bin with sawdust, which is operated by a sawdust bin vibrating member; Step S3 of inserting cotton balls, which is operated by a cotton ball inserting member; a step S4 of filling the bait, which is operated by the bait member; Step S5 of filling the natural enemy insects with the natural enemy insect collecting member; Step S6: sucking and capping the cover, which is operated by the cover placement member and the capping member; Step S7: conveying the cup to the conveyor belt by the discharge member, and sending the cup out onto the conveyor belt; and step S8 of automatically inkjet printing the code onto the cups on the conveyor belt to mark them. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following advantageous effects: (1) Operation process: Dropping cup → Filling with sawdust → Adding cotton balls → Filling with bait (mealworms) using an automatic dispenser → Filling with the natural enemy insect, the stink bug → Suction and plugging the cover → Sending the cup to a conveyor belt → Automatic inkjet printing of codes. This integrated stink bug collecting and packaging machine achieves closed-loop automation and mechanization from collection to packaging. Conventional methods for collecting and packaging natural enemy insects involve manually placing the relevant auxiliary materials, manually collecting the insects and placing them in paper cups, manually placing the covers, and packaging them in boxes. With the insect collecting and packaging machine, all work stations except for the work station where the code is inkjet printed are integrated on a circular turntable, and as the disc rotates, a repeating work cycle is formed. (2) Work efficiency: If we calculate the efficiency based on an 8-hour workday, a skilled worker can fill 96 cups per day, while one integrated collection and packaging machine can fill 960 cups per machine. This means that the efficiency of the integrated machine is 10 times that of manual work, and it can handle large amounts of packaging and storage in a short period of time, significantly reducing the death and injury rates during the packaging, storage, transportation and release processes, and reducing the risks that may affect the release and control effects. (3) When dropping the cups, compressed air is used as the power source to vertically drop stacked cups into the cup holes of the disk using a mechanical mechanism. When adding sawdust, cotton balls, and food, all are automatically dropped and dispensed into the cups using a centrifugal vibrating plate with a weighing function. The cotton balls are immersed in water before being dropped into the cups. The natural enemy insect collection device cools natural enemy insects to 4-6°C to put them into a dormant state. It is powered by compressed air. Compressed air enters the annular high-pressure chamber through an intake port and flows at high speed through an annular nozzle or pinhole nozzle, generating a high-speed airflow. The high-speed airflow generates low pressure at the inlet, creating a vacuum, and the insects are sucked into the high-pressure airflow and transported to the designated location (inside the cup). Automatic cover placement is powered by compressed air and uses a vacuum chuck to vertically place the stacked cup covers onto the cup openings using an inverted cylinder. Automatic stoppering is powered by compressed air and uses an installed pneumatic stopper to press the covers onto the cups. The ejection member is powered by compressed air, and a push-up cylinder attached to the bottom of the disk pushes the cup up from the cup hole, and another push-out cylinder pushes the cup horizontally onto the conveyor belt, which then operates to send the cup to the designated code printing position, and the conveyor belt drives the cup to move forward, and when the sensing switch detects the cup, it feeds back information to the processor, which drives the printer to print the code. (4) Collection speed when using natural enemy insect collection devices: ≥ 40 insects / min, mortality and injury rate: ≤ 5%, manual collection rate: 15,000 insects / day / person. (5) The stink bug is a living insect that crawls and gathers around. When gathering, its limbs tend to entangle, and its body is fragile. Currently, insect collection involves gently separating and collecting the insects by hand using a soft brush to prevent injury or death. However, this method is inefficient. When collecting insects using negative pressure, the gas pressure, gas volume, flow rate, and the material and structure of the straw or collector are all important factors that affect the mortality rate. Because live stink bugs tend to entangle themselves and use their limbs to grasp surfaces, this device uses a transparent, flexible material to control airflow and pressure using the Bernoulli effect, ensuring efficient insect collection and reduced mortality and injury.

[0030] Operation process: A platen 76 is provided in the housing 25, and a rotating shaft is provided in the center of the platen 76. A drive motor drives the rotating shaft to move, and the rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move. The disk 34 is in the shape of a circular disk, and circular cup holes are evenly drilled on the disk 34 to make it easy to place cups.

[0031] Housing 25 is provided with cup drop member 26, sawdust bin vibrating member 27, cotton ball container member 28, bait member 29, natural enemy insect collecting member 30, cover arranging member 31, stoppering member 32, and discharge member 33. Cup drop member 26 makes it easy to place the cup in the cup hole, sawdust bin vibrating member 27, cotton ball container member 28, and bait member 29 place sawdust, cotton balls, and bait into the cup all at once, natural enemy insect collecting member 30 makes it easy to place refrigerated insects into the cup, cover arranging member 31 places a cover on the cup, stoppering member 32 stops the cup, and discharge member 33 makes it easy to feed the cup out.

[0032] The first step is performed by the cup drop member 26. A separation guide plate is provided on the side wall of the cup drop bracket 35, and a cup separation cylinder 39 is provided on the separation guide plate. The cup separating plate 40 connected to the cup separating cylinder 39 moves to the bottom of the circular hole in the upper wall plate of the cup drop bracket 35, and the stacked cups enter through the circular hole in the first guide rod fixing plate 37. The cup drop guide rod 36 acts as a stopper, facilitating the lower ends of the stacked cups to pass through the circular hole in the upper wall plate of the cup drop bracket 35. When the lower ends of the stacked cups are placed on the separating plate 40 and the cups need to enter the cup holes in the disk 34, the cup separating plate 40 connected to the cup separating cylinder 39 moves horizontally and moves away from the bottom of the circular hole in the upper wall plate of the cup drop bracket 35, facilitating the separation of the bottommost cup of the stacked cups. The cup separating plate 40 connected to the cup separating cylinder 39 then moves again to the bottom of the circular hole in the upper wall plate of the cup drop bracket 35, and the rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole in the disk 34 where the cup is placed moves toward the sawdust bin vibrating member 27.

[0033] The second step is to add sawdust. The lower frame 41, the upright 42, and the upper frame 43 are connected together. A circular hole is drilled in the first side panel 45 of the cabinet 44, allowing the sawdust to pass through the circular hole in the first side panel 45 and enter the second vibrating plate 47. The second vibrating plate 47 is driven by a pulse electromagnet to vibrate, sending the sawdust through the inner guide tube 74 and the outer guide tube 48 and back into the cup. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole in the disk 34 of the cup where the sawdust is placed moves to the cotton ball holder 28.

[0034] The third step is to insert the cotton balls. The lower frame 41, the upright 42, and the upper frame 43 are connected together. A circular hole is drilled in the first side panel 45 of the cabinet 44, allowing the cotton balls to pass through the circular hole in the first side panel 45 and enter the second vibrating plate 47. The second vibrating plate 47 is driven by a pulse electromagnet to vibrate, sending the cotton balls through the inner guide tube 74 and the outer guide tube 48 and then into the cup again. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole of the disk 34 in the cup where the cotton balls are placed moves to the feeding member 29.

[0035] The fourth step is to put the bait in. The lower frame 41, the uprights 42, and the upper frame 43 are connected together, and a circular hole is drilled in the first side panel 45 of the cabinet 44, allowing the bait to enter the second vibrating plate 47 through the circular hole in the first side panel 45. The second vibrating plate 47 is driven by a pulse electromagnet to vibrate, sending the bait through the inner guide tube 74 and the outer guide tube 48 and back into the cup. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole in the disk 34 of the cup where the bait is placed moves to the natural enemy insect collecting member 30.

[0036] The fifth step is to place the refrigerated insects in the natural enemy insect collecting member 30. Specifically, a primary air distribution plate 1 is connected to the bottom of the connecting passage 2, and an intermediate plate 4 is connected to the bottom of the primary air distribution plate 1. A through passage 3 is opened in the intermediate plate 4, a count sensor 5 is installed in the through passage 3, a secondary air distribution plate 6 is installed below the intermediate plate 4, and a collecting passage 7 is connected to the bottom of the secondary air distribution plate 6. Air vents are opened evenly in the walls of the primary air distribution plate 1, secondary air distribution plate 6, and collecting passage 7.

[0037] A mounting plate 8 is attached to the side wall of the intermediate plate 4, and the mounting plate 8 is fixed to a sliding plate 11. A lower fixing plate 12 and an upper fixing plate 13 are attached to the sliding plate 11. The upper and lower ends of an air amplifier 14 extend through the circular holes in the lower fixing plate 12 and the upper fixing plate 13. A joint plate 22 is attached to the sliding plate 11 and is configured in a U-shape. The air amplifier 14 is attached to the joint plate 22 and the collecting bracket 9. An air pipe connection port 23 is opened in the side wall of the joint plate 22, and an external air pipe is connected to the air amplifier 14 through the air pipe connection port 23. The external air pipe is connected to an external driving device through the air pipe connection port 23. The communication point between the external air pipe and the air amplifier 14 faces downward, allowing the air amplifier 14 to move downward. The sliding plate 11 is installed in the sliding groove of the collecting bracket 9. As the insects pass through, the rodless cylinder 16 drives the slide plate 11 to move on the slide groove of the collecting bracket 9, so that the inlet passage 15 of the air amplifier 14 is brought into close contact with the transport pipe 17.

[0038] One end of the refrigerator 24 is installed inside the refrigerated case 18, and the operation of the refrigerator 24 reduces the air temperature inside the refrigerated case 18. Insects enter the refrigerated case 18 through the inlet 19, where they are in a dormant state due to the low temperature inside the refrigerated case 18. The insects are inside the first vibrating plate 21, which is vibrated by a pulse electromagnet, causing the dormant insects to enter the inlet passage 15 through the transport pipe 17. The insects then pass through the connecting passage 2, the primary air distribution plate 1, the through passage 3 of the intermediate plate 4, the secondary air distribution plate 6, and the collecting passage 7 before being collected in the cup. Compressed air enters the air amplifier 14 through the external air pipe and moves downward, entering the annular high-pressure chamber of the air amplifier, generating a high-speed airflow. The high-speed airflow generates a low pressure at the inlet, forming a vacuum, and a pressure difference is created between both ends of the air amplifier 14, forming a strong airflow that draws air in at one end and exhausts it at the other end. The airflow transports insects downward from the inlet of the air amplifier 14. Because the airflow is fast, it flows through the connecting passage 2, the primary air distribution plate 1, the through passage 3 of the intermediate plate 4, the secondary air distribution plate 6, and the collection passage 7. This creates impacts when the insects are released, and they collide with the cup walls as they fall into the cup, injuring them and causing them to bounce out of the cup after the collision, which is detrimental to their collection. More importantly, because the airflow carrying the insects does not weaken or slow down, the airflow entering the cup creates a strong backflow effect, blowing all the material out of the cup and affecting the accuracy of the counter, resulting in inaccurate counting. The air vents evenly spaced on the walls of the primary air distribution plate 1, secondary air distribution plate 6, and collection passage 7 serve to disperse and weaken the airflow from the air amplifier 14, reducing the impact of the airflow on the insects and preventing them from colliding with the cup walls, causing injury, and bouncing out of the cup. This plays an important role in insect protection. Also, the residual airflow blown into the cup does not create a strong backflow effect and does not blow away the material in the cup.

[0039] The refrigerated insects enter the cup, the rotating shaft drives and moves the disk 34, and the cup hole of the disk 34 in the cup where the insects are placed moves to the cover positioning member 31.

[0040] The sixth step is to place the cover on the cup containing the insect. The cover is inserted through the circular hole in the second guide rod fixing plate 51, with the cup cover guide rod 50 acting as a stopper. A cover separation guide plate 60 is mounted on the side wall of the cover placement holder 49, and a cover separation cylinder 61 is mounted on the cover separation guide plate 60. The cover separation cylinder 61 drives and moves the cover separation plate 62. Because the cover separation plate 62 is in the circular hole in the upper wall plate of the cover placement holder 49, the cup cannot move downward. When the cover separation cylinder 61 drives and moves the cover separation plate 62, the cover separation plate 62 moves away from the circular hole in the upper wall plate of the cover placement holder 49. The pneumatic chuck 58 connected to the chuck moving cylinder 57 operates, and the cover is attracted to the pneumatic chuck 58. The chuck moving cylinder 57 is mounted on the reversing link 56, and the reversing cylinder 55 rotates. As a result, the chuck moving cylinder 57 of the reversal link 56 of the pneumatic chuck 58 also reverses, facilitating the movement of the cover to the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup on which the insect is placed, and the pneumatic chuck 58 connected to the chuck moving cylinder 57 operates to place the cover on the pneumatic chuck 58 onto the cup, thus realizing the placement of the cover. The rotating shaft drives and moves the disk 34, and the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup on which the insect is placed moves to the stoppering member 32. An inverting base 52 is provided on the side wall of the cover arrangement holder 49 , an inverting gear 53 is provided on the inverting base 52 , an inverting rack 54 is provided corresponding to the inverting gear 53 , and the inverting rack 54 is provided on an inverting cylinder 55 . An inversion link 56 is provided on the side wall of the inversion cylinder 55, a chuck moving cylinder 57 is provided on the inversion link 56, the chuck moving cylinder 57 is connected to a pneumatic chuck 58, a cover positioning sleeve 59 is provided on the inversion cylinder 55, the rotating shaft drives and moves the disk 34, and the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup on which the cover is placed moves to the stoppering member 32.

[0041] The seventh step is capping. The capping cylinder 64 passes through the cylinder hole and is fixed to the indenter 65. The capping cylinder 64 operates, and the indenter 65 presses the cover, thereby capping the bottle. The rotating shaft drives and moves the disk 34, and after capping, the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup moves to the capping member 32.

[0042] The eighth step is discharging. A push-up cylinder 71 is provided in the housing 25, and the push-up cylinder 71 drives a push-up plate 72 to move upward, facilitating the push-up plate 72 to push the cup out of the cup hole in the disk 34. At the same time, the push-up cylinder 71 moves a push-up plate 70 connected to the connecting plate 69 by the push-out cylinder 68, and the push-up plate 70 pushes the cup out of the disk 34, thus achieving discharging.

[0043] Example 2 1. A method of using an insect collection and packaging device, comprising: Step S1 of dropping the cup, operated by the cup dropper 26; a step S2 of filling the sawdust bin with sawdust, which is operated by a sawdust bin vibrating member 27; a step S3 of inserting a cotton ball, which is operated by a cotton ball inserting member 28; a step S4 of filling with bait, operated by the bait member 29; Step S5 of filling the natural enemy insects by operating the natural enemy insect collecting member 30; Step S6 of sucking and capping the cover, which is operated by the cover placement member 31 and the capping member 32; Step S7: conveying the cup to the conveyor belt by the discharge member 33 and sending the cup out onto the conveyor belt; and step S8 of automatically inkjet printing the code onto the cups on the conveyor belt to mark them. The cup dropping mechanism uses compressed air to vertically drop stacked cups into the cup holes of the disk using a mechanical mechanism. When sawdust, cotton balls, and food are added, they are automatically dropped and dispensed into the cups using a centrifugal vibrating plate with a weighing function. The cotton balls are immersed in water before being dropped into the cups. The natural enemy insect collection device cools natural enemy insects to 4-6°C to put them into a dormant state. It is powered by compressed air. Compressed air enters the annular high-pressure chamber through an intake port and flows at high speed through an annular or pinhole nozzle, generating a high-speed airflow. The high-speed airflow generates low pressure at the inlet, creating a vacuum, and the insects are sucked into the high-pressure airflow and transported to the designated location (inside the cup). Automatic cover placement uses compressed air to vertically place stacked cup covers onto the cup openings using an inverted cylinder with a vacuum chuck. Automatic stoppering uses compressed air to press the covers onto the cups using an installed pneumatic stopper. The ejection member is powered by compressed air, and a push-up cylinder attached to the bottom of the disk pushes the cup up from the cup hole, and another push-up cylinder presses the cup horizontally onto the conveyor belt, which then operates to send the cup to the designated code printing position, and the conveyor belt drives the cup to move forward.When the sensing switch detects the cup, it feeds back information to the processor, which drives the printer to print the code.
