This application relates to a capture and disposal device for crown-of-thorns
starfish, comprising a body structure, a nighttime
identification device, a chemical
injection device, a suction and crushing device, and a battery. The body structure includes a
torso, a head, two forelimbs, and two hindlimbs connected by joints; an equipment compartment and a watertight cover are located on the back of the
torso; the chemical
injection device includes a
storage tank, a metering chamber, a needle, a liquid
guide tube, and a drive unit, with the
storage tank, metering chamber, and drive unit located within the equipment compartment; the metering chamber has an inlet
check valve and an outlet
check valve at its end, the inlet
check valve being connected to the
storage tank via the liquid
guide tube, and the outlet check valve being connected to the needle via the liquid
guide tube; the suction and crushing device includes a
processing chamber and a crushing
impeller, with the crushing
impeller disposed within the
processing chamber. This application uses the chemical
injection device to inject targeted
chemical agents into the crown-of-thorns
starfish; the suction and crushing device crushes the crown-of-thorns
starfish and discharges it from its
tail.
