Description

The Bemisia Tabaci smart trapping device for Korean-melon greenhouses

The present invention relates to a smart capture device for tobacco whitefly for a melon greenhouse, and more specifically, to a smart capture device for tobacco whitefly for a melon greenhouse that can efficiently and quickly capture tobacco whitefly pests by using a capture device that can eliminate tobacco whitefly pests when cultivating fruits inside a vinyl greenhouse installed for melon cultivation.

Generally, melon is a variety of annual vine plant in the Cucurbitaceae family, Cucurbitaceae order, and the melon we eat today is a variety developed domestically and is one of the unique fruits of Korea that is rarely cultivated in other countries.

Also, when growing melons, it is common to graft pumpkin seedlings onto melon seedlings to make them grow stronger. After grafting, the melon roots are cut off and the new pumpkin leaves are properly managed to prevent them from growing too much. As a result, when they grow, the melon grows on top of the pumpkin roots.

In addition, melon cultivation is usually divided into facility cultivation and open-field cultivation. In facility cultivation, seeds are sown in mid-October to early November, the transplanting period is mid-November to mid-December, and the harvest period is early February to mid-August.

However, melon fruits grown inside vinyl houses are completely controlled before transplanting, but the number of pests increases from April and causes significant damage after May. Recently, the transplanting period has been moved forward to late November, so seedlings are raised from early October, and the influx of tobacco whitefly pests from outside is increasing.

In particular, the tobacco whitefly pest, which causes secondary damage such as sooty mold caused by secretions by parasitizing on the back of leaves and sucking the sap of the plant, is frequently occurring inside vinyl greenhouse melon cultivation facilities, and reduces photosynthetic efficiency and damages the quantity and quality of melon fruits.

Accordingly, various prior technologies have been disclosed that can capture tobacco whitefly pests occurring inside such vinyl houses.

For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1819426 (Publication Date: January 18, 2018) describes a greenhouse comprising: “a collector that sucks in and discharges air inside a greenhouse and removes pest whiteflies contained in the sucked air using ultraviolet rays; a rail installed along the upper side of the greenhouse in the longitudinal direction; a driving body that is connected to the collector at the bottom and moves back and forth along the rail; and a control unit that controls the collector and the driving body; and the collector has a blower installed inside, and also has an intake port through which pest whiteflies are sucked in together with air, an exhaust port through which air from which pest whiteflies are removed is sucked out, and an ultraviolet lamp that sterilizes and removes pest whiteflies sucked in together with the air, wherein the ultraviolet lamp uses UV-B with a wavelength of 280 to 320 nm, and an LED trap that attracts pest whiteflies is installed at the intake port, wherein the LED trap irradiates yellow light, and the collector further includes an ozone generator, and the collector is installed to be able to rise and fall with respect to the driving body, and is connected to both sides of the rail. There is a “smart greenhouse pest control device for whiteflies, eco-friendly, unmanned, and pest control device” characterized in that the rails are placed on each side of the crop cultivation area, and the collector is installed to blow air toward the crop cultivation area, while a stop button is installed at the end to limit the movement of the driving body.

In addition, in the domestic patent publication No. 10-1945482 (publication date: 2019.02.08.), “a collector that removes pest whiteflies contained in the drawn-in air by using ultraviolet rays and ozone while drawing in and discharging the air inside the greenhouse; a driving body that moves back and forth along a rail installed longitudinally on the upper side of the greenhouse and to which the collector is connected; a control unit that controls the collector and the driving body; and an adsorber that removes pests by adsorbing them using a suction plate that is connected to the collector in a way that it can be lifted and rotates at a constant speed while traveling on the floor; wherein the adsorber comprises a driving plate equipped with wheels at the bottom and that moves along the floor, a suction plate rotation axis that is equipped with one or more suction plates on which pests are adsorbed and is rotatably installed on the driving plate, a plurality of guide bars that are installed vertically on the driving plate and penetrate the edges of a connecting plate provided at the bottom of the collector, and a plurality of guide bars that are spaced apart from the guide bars so that the height of the driving plate is fixed.

There is a "pesticide whitefly eco-friendly unmanned collection device" characterized in that the suction plate rotation shaft and the wheel connection shaft are connected by a bevel gear so that the suction plate rotation shaft rotates in conjunction with the wheel connection shaft provided on the lower part of the driving plate, the wheel rotation shafts are installed at the front and rear of the driving plate, respectively, and the suction plate rotation shafts are installed at the front and rear of the driving plate, respectively, but are installed at positions where interference does not occur between the suction plates and between the suction plates and the guide bar, a stop button is installed at one end of the driving body to limit the movement of the driving body so that the driving body reciprocates and controls pest whiteflies, a repeat button is installed at the other end of the driving body to move the driving body in the opposite direction, and the collector is installed so as to be able to be lifted on the driving body.

In addition, in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2538854 (publication date: 2023.06.01.), there is a “tobacco whitefly capture trap characterized by comprising: a body (10) having a closed upper surface (12) and an open lower surface, a cylindrical shape, made of a yellow synthetic resin of a semitransparent material that allows light to pass through, the upper surface (12) having a curved shape that acts as a filter for scattered light and refracted light, and having an empty space inside in which a circular or flat yellow adhesive trap can be installed, and having an attraction and capture function; and a base (20) having a flat disc shape and detachably connected to the lower portion of the body (10), made of a black synthetic resin of an opaque material that does not allow light to pass through, and having a circular inlet (22) formed in the center, and having a fastening portion (24) connected to the body (10) on the upper portion of the inlet (22);”

Also, Korean Patent No. 10-2499264 (Publication Date: February 14, 2023) “A pest capture and management system using a three-axis drive device is applied to attract, capture, and film pests occurring in crops inside a greenhouse using a pheromone trap and determine the optimal pest control time based on the video image transmitted to the user, and the system comprises: a trap body having an opening through which the pests enter and exit and a cover formed to be openable and closable; a modular tray formed to be elevating inside the trap body by a first drive unit and on which a sticky sheet for capturing the pests is detachably mounted; a mounter formed to be movable in the left and right directions and forward and backward directions on the inside upper part of the trap body by second and third drive units driven at a preset cycle; a part of the sticky sheet that is mounted on the mounter and captures pests by moving in the left and right directions and forward and backward directions within the trap body.

A pest capture and management system using a three-axis drive device is known, characterized by having an upper bracket having a cut portion formed therein so that pests on the sticky sheet can be captured by the first camera.

As described above, Patent Publication No. 10-1819426 discloses a smart greenhouse pest and whitefly eco-friendly unmanned collection device, including a collector that sucks and discharges air inside a greenhouse and removes pest and whiteflies contained in the sucked air using ultraviolet rays; a rail installed along the length of the upper side of the greenhouse; a driving unit that is connected to the collector at the bottom and moves back and forth along the rail; and a control unit that controls the collector and the driving unit.

In addition, Patent Publication No. 10-1945482 discloses a device for removing pests and whiteflies contained in the air sucked in and exhausted by using ultraviolet rays and ozone; a driving unit that moves back and forth along a rail installed longitudinally on the upper side of the greenhouse and connects the collector; a control unit that controls the collector and the driving unit; and a suction plate that is connected to the collector so that it can be lifted up and down and rotates at a constant speed while traveling on the floor, thereby removing pests.

We have an eco-friendly unmanned pest collector for use in greenhouses, including an adsorber that absorbs and removes pests;

There are problems such as a low price competitiveness due to an increase in manufacturing cost due to a complex structure, a structural problem that makes it difficult to quickly and massively capture tobacco whiteflies from melon fruits growing on the ground, a problem that although it is easy to capture in the air, it is difficult to efficiently capture tobacco whiteflies attached to the leaves of fruit crops, and a problem that although crops can grow in different directions, it takes up a large turning radius growth area, which reduces crop cultivation efficiency.

In addition, the purpose of Patent Registration No. 10-2538854 is to effectively control tobacco whiteflies (whiteflies) in greenhouse crops and open-field horticultural crops, and to reduce the annual use of synthetic pesticides and the frequency of use of broad-spectrum insecticides by using synthetic pesticides and the trap of the present invention simultaneously, and to meet the demand for eco-friendly agricultural products by safely producing high-quality eco-friendly agricultural products.

In addition, Patent Publication No. 10-2499264 provides a pest capture and management system using a 3-axis drive device that attracts micro-pests or moths in a greenhouse with a pheromone trap, captures them, and takes images, analyzes the pest types and distribution based on the image transmitted to the manager terminal to determine the time for pest control, and manages pests and diseases by identifying the pest types and distribution in the greenhouse through the image transmitted in real time to the manager terminal without having to visit the greenhouse in person, thereby reducing work time and labor costs.

There is a problem that it is cumbersome to install several of them inside a vinyl greenhouse for growing melon crops because they are not mobile, and there is a problem that their efficiency is low because they can only capture tobacco whiteflies that have naturally entered the interior space rather than being captured separately, and there is a problem that it is difficult to expect efficient capture performance, so there is a continuous demand for improvement measures for these issues.
