Description

Cone traps for capturing harmful moths {Cone Type of Trap for capturing harmful moth}

The present invention relates to a mechanism for capturing harmful moth, and more particularly, to a conical trap for capturing harmful moths for attracting and eradicating moths that cause harm to plant cultivation and open field cultivation as sex pheromones.

Tobacco, tomato, cucumber, pepper, eggplant, etc. Pests that cause damage in the facility or field cultivation mainly tobacco moth, king tobacco moth, European lighting insect moth.

Until now, however, by spraying a wide range of pesticides on a regular basis, it destroys the natural ecosystem and causes multi-stage of secondary pests such as mites, and the resistance of the pests increases, so that it is necessary to replace new pesticides or increase the number of control every few years. The vicious cycle continues. If the damage crop is visible, the anxiety psychology is working, and the pesticide is abused even though there is no serious damage. However, it is impossible to overlook the enormous concern of consumers about the pesticide residue and environmental pollution.

Accordingly, sex pheromone traps are introduced to increase the efficiency of control while reducing the number of pesticide sprays. Pheromones are substances for carrying information between the same insects and are secreted in small amounts by insects, but are also artificially synthesized. Investigating the incidence and density of adult insects using sex pheromone traps can also effectively identify drug control time and control.

However, these sex pheromone traps are manufactured in funnel type, delta type, adhesive flat type, and tube type according to the characteristics of each pest, but even if the moths have their own activity characteristics, there is a limit to efficient control. Since moths generally fly at a vertical or 45 ° angle, and their flight heights have different characteristics, efficient control work is difficult without sufficient consideration of the characteristics of moths.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised in consideration of the conventional problems, and in acquiring moths that cause harm to plant crops as sex pheromones, it can be adjusted according to various activity characteristics to capture harmful moths for more efficient eradication. It is an object to provide a conical trap.

At this time, the lower mesh 22 is further provided with a frame 25 so that the inlet of the lower end is not narrowed.

In addition, the fixing means is a band for pressing and fixing the support bar 15 to any point of the support nut (15) and the support posts (11) 12, helix coupling the support rod 15 on the upper side of the upper column (11). (31) and (32) are provided.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment according to the present invention.

1 is a perspective view showing a mechanism according to the present invention with partial enlargement, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the main portion of the device according to the present invention separately.

The present invention relates to a trap mechanism that attracts moths to sex pheromones. Pheromones are classified into sex pheromones, aggregate pheromones, alarm pheromones, guide pheromones, distributed pheromones, and class pheromone according to behavioral reactions among individuals. Pheromones are used to lure individuals of relative sex between the same species.

In the trap according to the present invention, the struts 11 and 12 are connected to each other so that the height is adjustable. The upper column 11 and the lower column 12 are both rectangular in cross section and have a hollow structure, and the upper column 11 is formed to have a dimension that enters into the lower column 12. The upper side of the lower support 12 is fastened to the tightening bolt 17 with a handle to press the upper support (11). When the support posts 11 and 12 have a circular cross section, they are easily rotated and worn by an external force in the fastening bolt 17. However, the upper column 11 may have a square cross section, and the lower column 12 may have a circular cross section. The lower end of the lower column 12 is formed of an inclined surface 12a to be easily plugged into the ground. In use, the height of the upper column 11 can be adjusted by using the fastening bolt 17 in the state in which the lower column 12 is inserted into the ground.

In addition, according to the present invention, the upper mesh 21 formed of a cylindrical structure is used, which can be opened and closed by a zipper 23 on the side and has a conical inlet at the bottom. The cylindrical upper mesh 21 is completed by sewing the mesh cloth with the annular metal frame inserted into the upper and lower ends. Even the upper and lower metal frames are cylindrical while being unfolded by their own weight. Mesh cloth is connected in plan on the top but conical on the bottom. At the top of the cone portion an opening of small diameter is formed. The zipper 23 may be opened in a range of 300 ° or more near the upper end of the upper mesh 21 so as to easily pull out the captured moths.

In addition, according to the present invention is used a lower mesh 22 formed of a conical structure in which the upper and lower ends are open, it is possible to detach and attach using a magic tape 27 on the lower end of the upper mesh 21. The lower mesh 22 is sealed with a mesh cloth at least at the lower end with an annular metal frame inserted therein. A large diameter opening is formed at the bottom of the lower mesh 22, and a small diameter opening is formed at the top. Fixing the magic tape 27 to the conical inlet surface of the upper mesh 21 and the conical outer surface of the lower mesh 22 to be bonded to each other. The magic tape 27 has a size and quantity such that the nets 21 and 22 are not separated.

At this time, the lower mesh 22 may further include a frame 25 so that the inlet of the lower end is not narrowed. In FIG. 2, the frame 25 consists of a small funnel 25a at the top and a wire 25b extending downward and bent at the end. In the frame 25, the wire 25b is appropriately set to 2? 4 numbers. When the upper and lower meshes 21 and 22 are connected with the magic tape 27 while the frame 25 is inserted into the bottom opening of the lower mesh 22, appropriate strength against external force is maintained. In the combined meshes 21 and 22, the frame 25 supports not only the lower mesh 22 but also the conical inlet of the upper mesh 21, so that a passage for attracting moths can always be secured.

Of course, the frame 25 may be omitted, but in this case, it is better to install an annular metal frame on the upper end like the lower end of the lower mesh 22.

In addition, according to the present invention, the hook rod 35 is mounted to support the pheromone container 35a toward the inner center of the upper mesh 21. In addition, the lower rod 22 may also be equipped with a hook rod 35 to support the sex pheromone container (35a). Although pheromones may be a single compound, they are mostly composed of several components, and even if they are different components or the same component, they show specific attractiveness to the species depending on the difference in the ratio of each component. In the present invention, using a container (release dispenser) containing the sex pheromone of the lepidoptera moths target, and hangs on the upper surface of the upper mesh 21 in a state in which the container is coupled to the bent wire.

In addition, according to the present invention, the meshes 21 and 22 include fixing means for fixing to a variable height via the support rod 15 on the support (11, 12). Tightening nuts 13 and bands 31 and 32 are used as fixing means for attaching the nets 21 and 22 to the struts 11 and 12. The tightening nut 13 spirally couples the support rod 15 to the upper side of the upper support 11, and the band 31 and 32 press-fix the support rod 15 to any point of the support posts 11 and 12. do. The tightening nut 13 is preferably a butterfly nut that is easy to fasten by hand, and the supporting rod 15 coupled with the tightening nut 13 has a spiral that engages it. The bands 31 and 32 are bent from one surface to form a recess 33 to protrude, and the recess 33 is sized to simultaneously receive the ends of the two supporting rods 15 simultaneously. The support rod 15 coupled to the bands 31 and 32 does not need a spiral but is bent at the one end so as to be accommodated in the groove 33.

At this time, the upper band 31 is different from each other so that the upper end (11) is moved up and down and the lower band 32 is moved up and down in the lower support (12). On the opposite side on which the grooves 33 are formed in the bands 31 and 32, a tightening bolt 37 is installed to allow the support rod 15 to be attached and detached. That is, when the bent portion of the support rod 15 is inserted into the groove 33, and tightening the tightening bolt 37, the band 31, 32 is elastically deformed while the coupling force acts. This action is more clearly understood in FIG. 3.

3 is a schematic view showing an installation state of the apparatus according to the present invention.

In FIG. 3a, the upper support rod 15 is coupled to the upper support rod 15 with a tightening nut 13, and the lower support rod 15 is coupled to the lower band 32 of the lower support 12. (21) (22). However, in the case of the lower support bar 15, it may not hang the net body 22 using a string, but considering the effects of the wind seems to be safe. In FIG. 3B, there is a difference that the tightening bolt 17 is tightened while the upper column 11 is raised, and the lower support bar 15 is coupled to the upper band 31 of the upper column 11. In this way, since the height of the nets 21 and 22 is variable, the present invention can capture various moths using only one type of trap. In either case, the upper and lower ends of the nets 21 and 22 may be simultaneously supported to prevent shaking.

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing an installation state of the mechanism according to a modification of the present invention.

Combining the two support rods 15 to the upper band 31 and the two support rods 15 to the lower band 32, the two meshes 21 and 22 to the left and right sides of the support (11) (12). Can be installed. By loosening the bands 31 and 32, the operation of adjusting the height of the nets 21 and 22 is also easy. Although not shown in the drawing, the support rod 15 may be further coupled to the upper end of the upper column 11 using the tightening nut 13 as shown in FIG. 3.

In Figures 1 to 4, there is a slight difference in the manner of installing the net body 21, 22, but the capture principle and processing method is the same. That is, when the pheromone container (35a) is hanged on the hook rod (35), the moths that move mainly up or down or diagonally attach to the inlet of the lower band (32) and then move upward along the pheromone scent. Once the moths enter the upper mesh 21 through the opening at the vertices of the conical inlet formed by the upper mesh 21 and the lower mesh 22, it cannot escape again. Therefore, whenever appropriate, the upper mesh 21 is removed and moved to a designated waste place, and the zipper 23 is opened and processed.

After the moth of one individual disappears in the facility to adjust the height of the network (21, 22) to capture the moth of the other individual. Of course, the trap of FIG. 1 may be installed at a plurality of points at different heights, or the traps of FIG. 4 may be captured at the same time by varying the left and right heights.

According to the above configuration and operation, the present invention has the effect of eradicating more efficiently as it can be adjusted to various activity characteristics in attracting moths harming plant crops to sex pheromone.
