Rotating Insect Trap Support for Stable Bait Diffusion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insect traps face issues with compromised functionality due to excessive rotation or breakage of support structures, leading to inefficient bait diffusion and instability, especially in mobile or free-placement scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A rotating shaft support system for insect traps that maintains stability and functionality by allowing adjustable attachment to the trap, ensuring dynamic balance and efficient bait diffusion regardless of external conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the trap is allowed to rotate freely to improve bait diffusion, then the efficiency of the trap increases, but the bait may move or fall and the trap functionality is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing a rotating shaft mechanism that allows controlled rotation of the trap. The shaft connects the trap to a support structure and enables the trap to rotate within a limited range, optimizing bait diffusion while preventing excessive rotation that would cause bait displacement. This dynamic solution transforms the trap from a completely static or uncontrolled system to one with regulated motion.
2Reliability
If a fixed support structure is used to stabilize the trap, then the trap functionality is maintained, but the freedom of movement and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating shaft support structure replaces fixed rigid supports with a dynamic system that allows controlled movement. The shaft can rotate to accommodate different positioning needs while maintaining trap stability through its connection mechanism, thus providing both adaptability and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The support system is segmented into multiple components: the rotating shaft, the connection mechanism, and the support structure. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function - the shaft provides rotation, the connection mechanism ensures stability, and the support structure offers anchoring - collectively achieving both freedom of movement and structural stability.
3Reliability
If a retractable support structure is used to provide stability, then the trap can be supported properly, but the support may break under excessive force
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating shaft mechanism provides a dynamic support solution that distributes mechanical stress through rotation rather than rigid resistance. When external forces act on the trap, the shaft can rotate to absorb and dissipate these forces, preventing the concentrated stress that would cause breakage in retractable support structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating shaft acts as an intermediary between the trap and the support structure. It mediates the transmission of forces, allowing controlled movement and stress distribution, thereby protecting the support structure from excessive forces that would cause failure while maintaining proper trap support.

AI summary
The present invention refers to a Rotating Support for Insect Trap, in which the insect trap has a connection mechanism to be attached to a rotating support, thus having a trap that is not affected by movement, as the rotating support remains fixed to the insect trap and fixed and immobilized on the means of support, thereby achieving higher functionality of its components.
