RU110600U1 - LIGHT TRAP FOR INSECTS - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to crop production, in particular to systems for protecting plants from insects. A light trap for insects, consisting of a body made in the form of a hollow cylinder bounded on both sides by plugs, with a prismatic inlet, the walls of which are guides for insects to a light source; light sources located inside the case and luring insects from the outside; power source; removable adhesive cartridges mounted on the inner surface of the housing and the guide walls. All light sources used in the light trap have a light flux with a wavelength of 350 to 360 nm, which is most attractive to insects. The use of this light trap with sticky cartridges allows accurate, clear and convenient monitoring of the number and phase of development of insects on farmland.

Description

The utility model relates to crop production, in particular to systems for protecting plants from insects.

Known installations for electrophysical control used in domestic and industrial conditions: Insects killer (MS-310B) [http://www.pugalki.ru/desinsectors.html], TP-33, TP-31, TP-30 [http: / /www.promberg.ru/lovushki_dlya_nasekomyh], ET-001 [http://russian.alibaba.com/product-gs/insect-light-traps-for-the-plants-446283180-html], which consist of a housing, a light source, a high voltage grid for exterminating insects, a reservoir for collecting exterminated insects.

The disadvantage is the inconvenience and inaccuracy of monitoring, due to the location of insects in a common heap and their significant damage.

The prototype of the utility model is a light trap for insects [Utility Model Patent No. 97245 IPC A01M 1/02, publication September 10, 2010, Bulletin No. 25], consisting of a housing, a light source, and a power source. The body of the light trap is made in the form of a hollow cylinder bounded on both sides by plugs, with a prismatic inlet, the walls of which are guides for insects to the light source.

The disadvantage of the prototype is that the light trap does not provide the convenience and visibility of monitoring, since the captured insects are located in a common heap, which makes monitoring difficult and reduces its accuracy.

The purpose of the utility model is to increase the accuracy and visibility of monitoring, as well as the convenience of its implementation.

The goal is achieved by the special design of the utility model, which consists of a housing made in the form of a hollow cylinder, bounded on both sides by plugs, with a prismatic inlet, the walls of which are guides for insects to the light source; light sources located inside the case; power supply, unlike the prototype, the utility model has removable adhesive cartridges on the inner surface of the housing and the guide walls. Insects trapped in a light trap adhere to the surfaces of sticky cartridges, which are removed at the end of the study, allowing more convenient information on the number and phase of development of insects on the studied agricultural lands with convenience and visibility.

In the search process, a model was not found, among the known devices, identical in technical essence and achieved result claimed, which allows us to conclude that the claimed utility model meets the criterion of "novelty."

The figure shows a cross section of a light trap.

The light trap consists of a housing 1 in the form of a hollow cylinder bounded on both sides by plugs, having a prismatic hole with walls 2, which are guides for insects to the light source; a light source 3, which is located behind the prismatic hole; brighter light sources 4 located in the corners between the wall of the cylinder and the walls of the prismatic holes, sticky cartridges 5.

The basis of the action of this light trap is insect susceptibility of a light source with a wavelength of 350 to 360 nm. The light trap works as follows. Insects, responding to light source 3, fly through a prismatic hole and fall into a light trap, where they begin to respond to brighter light sources 4 located in the corners between the cylinder wall and the prismatic walls of the hole, which provides a more reliable “capture” of insects and prevents shading luminous flux of the main source 3, and adhere to the surfaces of the sticky cartridges 5.

The use of this light trap with sticky cartridges allows with greater accuracy, visibility and convenience to monitor the number and phase of development of insects on agricultural land.
