Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of insect collection and packaging, and specifically to an insect collection and packaging device and a method for using the same.
Background Art
[0002] "Green, eco-friendly, high-quality, and safe" has already become the consensus and trend in the development of international high-quality tobacco leaves. In recent years, in addition to the adjustment of agricultural planting structures, global warming, and the serious invasion of migratory alien species, due to the drug resistance of pests and diseases caused by the abuse of pesticides and the reduction of natural enemies of pests, the degree of damage caused by pests has been deteriorating year by year. In particular, Lepidoptera pests such as Helicoverpa armigera, tobacco caterpillars, and cutworms have been increasing year by year. According to statistics, Lepidoptera pests cause an annual loss of 5% - 10% of tobacco leaves, and the loss in a large outbreak year exceeds 15%. Mythimna separata and Ostrinia furnacalis are important pests in large-scale agricultural production in tobacco cultivation areas, and they cause great damage to major food crops such as corn and wheat. In serious cases, they can cause a 20% - 40% reduction in corn production. Currently, spraying chemical pesticides is the main control method for preventing and controlling Lepidoptera pests, but Lepidoptera pests are easily resistant to insecticides, and the prevention and control effect is not good.
[0003] Xylocoris fimbriatus is an indigenous predatory natural enemy insect discovered in Nanhua, Chuxiong. It can prey on the larvae of Lepidoptera pests in agriculture and forestry such as various tobacco leaves and corn, such as Helicoverpa armigera, cotton bollworms, tobacco caterpillars, Mythimna separata, beet armyworms, and Ostrinia furnacalis. It has the characteristics of preying on many types of pests, a large number of pests, and a wide activity range, and has the title of "king of insect killing".
[0004] The Kisimofuri Fruit Bug is a live insect with a habit of gathering or tangling at the top of the breeding net. It is small in body size, has long horns and limbs, and has a brittle body shell, making it difficult to separate. Currently, it is separated individually from the breeding net with a manual brush and transferred to another breeding net or placed in an input cup. At the collection and packaging stage of the Kisimofuri Fruit Bug, it takes a long time for counting and packaging, the workload is large, the collection speed is slow, and the counting is not accurate, resulting in high production costs and limitations in large-scale breeding.

Advantages of the Invention
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects. (1) Process of operation: dropping the cup → filling with sawdust → putting in cotton balls → filling with feed by an automatic dispenser (mealworms) → filling with the natural enemy insect Xylomphalus fukutai → sucking and capping the cover → feeding out the cup to the conveyor belt → automatically inkjet printing the code. The Xylomphalus fukutai collection and packaging integrated machine integrates these operations to achieve closed-loop automation and mechanized operations from collection to packaging. The conventional collection method for collecting and packaging natural enemy insects is to manually place related auxiliary materials, manually collect insects and put them into paper cups, manually place the cover, and box them. When using an insect collection and packaging device, all work stations except the work station for inkjet printing the code are integrated on a circular turntable. When the turntable rotates, a repetitive work cycle is formed. (2) Working efficiency: Calculating the efficiency at 8 hours per day, a skilled worker can fill 96 cups per person per day, while the collection and packaging integrated machine can fill 960 cups per machine. The efficiency of the integrated machine reaches 10 times that of manual work, can handle a large amount of packaging and storage in a short time, greatly reduces the mortality and disability rate in the packaging, storage, transportation, and release processes, and reduces the risk of affecting the release and control effect. (3) When the cup drops, compressed air is used as the power, and the stacked cups are vertically dropped into the cup holes of the disc by a mechanical structure. When putting sawdust, cotton balls, and bait, they are automatically dropped and supplied to the cups using a centrifugal vibrating bowl with a weighing function. The cotton balls are dropped into the cups after being soaked in water. The natural enemy insect collection member cools the natural enemy insects to 4 - 6 °C to put them in a dormant state and uses compressed air as the power. Compressed air enters the annular high-pressure chamber through the air inlet, and the compressed air flows through the annular nozzle or pinhole-shaped nozzle at high speed to generate a high-speed air flow. A low pressure is generated at the inlet by the high-speed air flow to form a vacuum, and the insects are sucked in by the high-pressure air flow and transported to the designated position (inside the cup). Automatically placing the cover means using compressed air as the power and vertically placing the stacked cup covers on the cup mouth using a vacuum chuck and a reversing cylinder. Automatically capping means using compressed air as the power and pressing the cover against the cup by the provided pneumatic capper. The ejection member uses compressed air as the power, pushes the cup out of the cup hole by the lifting cylinder provided at the bottom of the disc, horizontally pushes the cup onto the conveyor belt by another extrusion cylinder. At this time, the conveyor belt operates, sends the cup to the designated code printing position, the conveyor belt drives the cup to move forward. When the sensing switch senses the cup, it feeds back information to the processor and drives the printer to print the code. (4) Collection speed when using the natural enemy insect collection parts: ≥ 40 insects / min, death and damage rate: ≤ 5%, in the case of manual work: 15,000 insects / day / person. (5) The Xylomphalus fricativus is a live insect with a life habit of crawling and gathering around, and when gathering, its limbs are intertwined and its body is fragile. Currently, when collecting insects, in order to prevent insect damage and death, a soft brush is manually used to gently separate and collect the insects, but the efficiency is low. When collecting insects with negative pressure, gas pressure, gas volume, flow rate, the material and structure of the straw or collector are all important factors affecting the death and damage rate. Since the live Xylomphalus fricativus has the habit of intertwining and its limbs grasping the surface of an object, this device uses a transparent flexible material to utilize the Bernoulli effect to enable the control of air flow and pressure, ensuring the efficient collection of insects and the reduction of the death and damage rate.

[0030] Process of operation: A platen 76 is provided on the housing 25. A rotating shaft is provided at the center of the platen 76. The drive motor drives and moves the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft drives and moves the disk 34. The disk 34 is in the shape of a circular disk, and circular cup holes are evenly opened in the disk 34 to facilitate placing the cup.
[0031] The housing 25 is provided with a cup dropping member 26, a sawdust inserting vibrating member 27, a cotton ball inserting member 28, a bait member 29, a natural enemy insect collecting member 30, a cover placing member 31, a plugging member 32, and a discharging member 33. The cup dropping member 26 facilitates placing the cup into the cup hole. The sawdust inserting vibrating member 27, the cotton ball inserting member 28, and the bait member 29 collectively insert sawdust, cotton balls, and bait into the cup. The natural enemy insect collecting member 30 facilitates putting the refrigerated insects into the cup. The cover placing member 31 places a cover on the cup. The plugging member 32 plugs the cup. The installation of the discharging member 33 facilitates the delivery of the cup.
[0032] The first step is performed by the cup dropping member 26. A separation guide plate is provided on the side wall of the cup dropping bracket 35, and a cup separation cylinder 39 is provided on the separation guide plate. A cup separation plate 40 connected to the cup separation cylinder 39 moves to the lower part of the circular hole of the upper wall plate of the cup dropping bracket 35. The stacked cups enter through the circular hole of the first guide rod fixing plate 37. The installation of the cup dropping guide rod 36 can play a role in stopping, facilitating the lower end of the stacked cups to pass through the circular hole of the upper wall plate of the cup dropping bracket 35. The lower end of the stacked cups is placed on the separation plate 40. When the cup needs to enter the cup hole of the disc 34, the cup separation plate 40 connected to the cup separation cylinder 39 moves horizontally, moves away from the lower part of the circular hole of the upper wall plate of the cup dropping bracket 35, facilitating the separation of the lowermost cup among the stacked cups. The cup separation plate 40 connected to the cup separation cylinder 39 moves again to the lower part of the circular hole of the upper wall plate of the cup dropping bracket 35, and the rotating shaft drives the disc 34 to move, so that the cup hole of the disc 34 where the cup is placed moves to the sawdust inserting vibrating member 27.
[0033] The second step is to put sawdust. The lower frame 41, the vertical columns 42, and the upper frame 43 are provided to be connected. A circular hole is opened in the first side plate 45 of the cabinet 44 to facilitate the sawdust to enter the second vibrating plate 47 through the circular hole in the first side plate 45. The second vibrating plate 47 is driven by a pulse electromagnet to vibrate, and the sawdust is sent out through the inner guide tube 74 and the outer guide tube 48, and enters the cup again. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup where the sawdust is placed moves to the cotton ball inserting member 28.
[0034] The third step is to put cotton balls. The lower frame 41, the vertical columns 42, and the upper frame 43 are provided to be connected. A circular hole is opened in the first side plate 45 of the cabinet 44 to facilitate the cotton balls to enter the second vibrating plate 47 through the circular hole in the first side plate 45. The second vibrating plate 47 is driven by a pulse electromagnet to vibrate, and the cotton balls are sent out through the inner guide tube 74 and the outer guide tube 48, and enter the cup again. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup where the cotton balls are placed moves to the bait member 29.
[0035] The fourth step is to put bait. The lower frame 41, the vertical columns 42, and the upper frame 43 are provided to be connected. A circular hole is opened in the first side plate 45 of the cabinet 44 to facilitate the bait to enter the second vibrating plate 47 through the circular hole in the first side plate 45. The second vibrating plate 47 is driven by a pulse electromagnet to vibrate, and the bait is sent out through the inner guide tube 74 and the outer guide tube 48, and enters the cup again. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move, and the cup hole of 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 insects refrigerated by the natural enemy insect collection member 30. Specifically, the primary air dispersion plate 1 is connected to the lower part of the connection passage 2, and the intermediate plate 4 is connected to the lower part of the primary air dispersion plate 1. A through passage 3 is opened in the intermediate plate 4, a count sensor 5 is provided in the through passage 3, a secondary air dispersion plate 6 is provided below the intermediate plate 4, a collection passage 7 is connected to the lower part of the secondary air dispersion plate 6, and air inlets are evenly opened in the walls of any of the primary air dispersion plate 1, the secondary air dispersion plate 6, and the collection passage 7.
[0037] An attachment plate 8 is provided on the side wall of the intermediate plate 4. The attachment plate 8 is fixed to the slide plate 11. The lower fixing plate 12 and the upper fixing plate 13 are attached to the slide plate 11. The upper and lower ends of the air amplifier 14 extend through the circular holes of the lower fixing plate 12 and the upper fixing plate 13. A joint plate 22 is attached to the slide plate 11. The joint plate 22 is provided in a U shape. The air amplifier 14 is provided on the joint plate 22 and the collection bracket 9. An air pipe connection port 23 is opened on the side wall of the joint plate 22. The 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 part between the external air pipe and the air amplifier 14 faces downward, whereby the air amplifier 14 moves downward, and the slide plate 11 is provided in the slide groove of the collection bracket 9. When the insects pass through, the rodless cylinder 16 drives the slide plate 11 to move on the slide groove of the collection bracket 9, whereby the inlet passage 15 of the air amplifier 14 is in close contact with the transport pipe 17.
[0038] One end of the refrigerator 24 is provided inside the refrigerated case 18. When the refrigerator 24 operates, the air temperature in the refrigerated case 18 drops. Insects enter the refrigerated case 18 through the inlet 19. The insects are in a dormant state at the low temperature in the refrigerated case 18. The insects are in the first vibrating plate 21. The first vibrating plate 21 vibrates by a pulse magnet, and thus the dormant insects enter the inlet passage 15 through the transport pipe 17. Further, the insects pass through the connection passage 2, the primary air dispersion plate 1, the through passage 3 of the intermediate plate 4, the secondary air dispersion plate 6, and the collection passage 7 and are collected in the cup. Compressed air enters the air amplifier 14 through the external air pipe and moves downward, enters the annular high-pressure chamber of the air amplifier to generate a high-speed air flow. Due to the high-speed air flow, a low pressure is generated at the inlet, a vacuum is formed, and a pressure difference occurs at both ends of the air amplifier 14. In this way, a strong air flow that inhales at one end and exhausts at the other end is formed. The air flow transports the insects at the inlet of the air amplifier 14 downward. Since the air flow flowing through the pipelines of the connection passage 2, the primary air dispersion plate 1, the through passage 3 of the intermediate plate 4, the secondary air dispersion plate 6, and the collection passage 7 is fast, an impact occurs when the insects are sent out, and when the insects fall into the cup, they collide with the cup wall, thereby damaging the insects. On the other hand, after the collision, they rebound outside the cup, which is disadvantageous for their collection. More importantly, since the carrier air flow of the sent-out insects has not weakened or decelerated, the air flow entering the cup produces a strong reverse flow effect, blows all the materials in the cup out of the cup, and affects the accuracy of the counter, making the count inaccurate. Air ports are evenly opened on the walls of the primary air dispersion plate 1, the secondary air dispersion plate 6, and the collection passage 7. Its main function is to disperse and weaken the air flow coming out of the air amplifier 14, reduce the impact of the air flow on the insects, and prevent damage from occurring and the insects from rebounding outside the cup when the insects hit the cup wall. It plays an important role and effect in protecting the insects. Also, the remaining air flow blown into the cup does not cause a strong reverse flow effect and does not blow the materials in the cup away.
[0039] The refrigerated insects enter the cup. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move. The cup holes of the disk 34 of the cup where the insects are placed move to the cover placement member 31.
[0040] The sixth step is to place a cover on the cup in which the insect is placed. The cover enters through the circular hole of the second guide rod fixing plate 51. The cup cover guide rod 50 serves as a stopper. The cover separation guide plate 60 is provided on the side wall of the cover placement holder 49. A cover separation cylinder 61 is provided on the cover separation guide plate 60. The cover separation cylinder 61 drives the cover separation plate 62 to move. Since the cover separation plate 62 is in the circular hole of the upper wall plate of the cover placement holder 49, the cup cannot move downward. When the cover separation cylinder 61 drives the cover separation plate 62 to move, the cover separation plate 62 moves away from the circular hole of the upper wall plate of the cover placement holder 49, and the pneumatic chuck 58 connected to the chuck moving cylinder 57 operates, and the cover is adsorbed by the pneumatic chuck 58. The chuck moving cylinder 57 is provided on the reversing link 56, and the reversing cylinder 55 reverses. Thereby, the chuck moving cylinder 57 of the reversing link 56 of the pneumatic chuck 58 also reverses, facilitating the movement of the cover to the cup hole of the disc 34 of the cup in which the insect is placed. The pneumatic chuck 58 connected to the chuck moving cylinder 57 operates, and the cover on the pneumatic chuck 58 is placed on the cup. In this way, the placement of the cover is realized. The rotating shaft drives the disc 34 to move, and the cup hole of the disc 34 of the cup in which the insect is placed moves to the plugging member 32. A reversing base 52 is provided on the side wall of the cover placement holder 49. A reversing gear 53 is provided on the reversing base 52. A reversing rack 54 is correspondingly provided on the reversing gear 53. The reversing rack 54 is provided on the reversing cylinder 55.

The chuck moving cylinder 57 is connected to the pneumatic chuck 58. A cover positioning sleeve 59 is provided on the reversing cylinder 55. The rotating shaft drives the disc 34 to move, and the cup hole of the disc 34 of the cup on which the cover is placed moves to the plugging member 32.
[0041] The seventh step is capping. The capping cylinder 64 penetrates through the cylinder hole and is fixed to the pressure pin 65. When the capping cylinder 64 operates and the pressure pin 65 presses the cover, capping is realized. The rotating shaft drives the disk 34 to move. After capping, the cup hole of the disk 34 of the cup moves to the capping member 32.
[0042] The eighth step is discharging. The housing 25 is provided with a pushing cylinder 71. The pushing cylinder 71 drives the pushing plate 72 to move upward, facilitating the pushing plate 72 to push the cup out of the cup hole of the disk 34. At the same time, the extrusion cylinder 68 moves the push plate 70 connected to the connection plate 69, and the push plate 70 extrudes the cup from the disk 34. In this way, discharging is realized.
[0043] Embodiment 2 A method of using an insect collection packaging device, a step S1 of dropping the cup, which is operated by the cup dropping member 26; a step S2 of filling sawdust, which is operated by the sawdust filling vibrating member 27; a step S3 of inserting cotton balls, which is operated by the cotton ball inserting member 28; a step S4 of filling bait, which is operated by the bait member 29; a step S5 of filling natural enemy insects, which is operated by the natural enemy insect collection member 30; a step S6 of sucking and capping the cover, which is operated by the cover arranging member 31 and the capping member 32; a step S7 of feeding the cup to the conveyor belt, which is operated by the discharging member 33 to convey the cup to the conveyor belt; including a step S8 of automatically inkjet printing a code to mark the cup on the conveyor belt. When the cup drops, compressed air is used as power, and the stacked cups are vertically dropped into the cup holes of the disc by a mechanical structure. When putting sawdust, cotton balls, and bait, they are automatically dropped and supplied to the cups using a centrifugal vibrating bowl with a weighing function. The cotton balls are dropped into the cups after being soaked in water. The natural enemy insect collection member cools the natural enemy insects to 4 - 6 °C to put them in a dormant state and uses compressed air as power. Compressed air enters the annular high-pressure chamber through the air inlet, and the compressed air flows through the annular nozzle or pinhole-shaped nozzle at high speed to generate a high-speed air flow. A low pressure is generated at the inlet by the high-speed air flow to form a vacuum, and the insects are sucked in by the high-pressure air flow and transported to the designated position (inside the cup). Automatically placing the cover means using compressed air as power and vertically placing the stacked cup covers on the cup mouth using a vacuum chuck with a reversing cylinder. Automatically capping means using compressed air as power and pressing the cover against the cup by the provided pneumatic capping machine. The discharging member uses compressed air as power, pushes the cup up from the cup hole by the pushing cylinder provided at the bottom of the disc, and horizontally pushes the cup onto the conveyor belt by another pushing cylinder. At this time, the conveyor belt operates, sends the cup to the designated code printing position, drives the cup to move forward by the conveyor belt. When the sensing switch senses the cup, it feeds back information to the processor and drives the printer to print the code.
