RU110601U1 - LIGHT TRAP FOR INSECTS - Google Patents

Abstract

 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; a power source, characterized in that in the cross section of the prismatic inlet there is a grid with a mesh size determined depending on the type of trapped insects.

Description

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

Known installations of 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 source light, high voltage nets for extermination of insects, a reservoir for collecting exterminated insects.

The disadvantage is the inability to conduct monitoring, differentiated by the size of insects.

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 the inability to conduct monitoring, differentiated by the size of insects.

The purpose of the utility model is to monitor the number and phase of development of insects on agricultural land, differentiated by the size of insects.

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; the power source, unlike the prototype, the utility model has a grid installed in the cross section of the prismatic inlet, with a mesh size determined depending on the type of trapped insects. Insects larger than the mesh cell size cannot get inside the light trap, allowing monitoring, differentiated by the size of the insects.

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 body in the form of a hollow cylinder 1, bounded on both sides by plugs, having a prismatic hole with walls 2, which are guides for insects to the light source, light source 3, which is located behind the prismatic hole, brighter light sources 4, located in the corners between the cylinder wall and the walls of the prismatic hole, mesh 5 with a mesh size determined depending on the type of captured insects.

The basis of the operation of this device is insect susceptibility of a light source with a wavelength of 350 to 360 nm. The light trap with the installed grid works as follows. Insects respond to the light source 3. If the insect size is equal to or larger than the mesh cell size, it flies through the mesh 5 with a mesh size determined depending on the type of captured insects, installed in the cross section of the prismatic hole, and fall into the light trap, where they remain before monitoring.

The use of this light trap with a grid installed in the cross section of a prismatic inlet with a mesh size determined depending on the type of trapped insects allows differentiation to monitor the number and phase of development of insects on agricultural land.
