Description

Insect liquid feeding device

The present invention relates to an insect liquid feeding device which allows a drinking liquid to form an upwardly convex liquid surface by the principle of surface tension, so that ants can easily feed.

According to the Republic of China Patent No. M459709, an ant bait container is used. The container body 10 has a flat bottom portion 10B; 360 degrees is established throughout the circumference of the bottom portion of the bottom portion 10B, and an entrance is formed in a plurality of portions. The peripheral wall portion 10A of 10E; the bank portion 10D formed in the inner space of the peripheral wall portion 10A; and the poison bait storage portion 10P surrounded by the bank portion 10D; thereby, the poison bait can be placed in the poison bait storage portion 10P to attract The ants feed and poison them.

However, since the bottom portion 10B of the container body 10 is flat, if the poison bait is in a liquid state, the liquid surface is flat and cannot be higher than the poison bait storage portion 10P. Therefore, the ants are less likely to go to the feeding bait. Therefore, the effect of using the poison bait container to poison the ants is less significant, so there is still room for improvement.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an insect liquid feeding device, which can make the drinking liquid form an upwardly convex liquid surface by the principle of surface tension, so that the ants can easily feed, thereby enhancing the effect of poisoning the ants.

In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the insect liquid feeding device of the present invention comprises: a base having a mounting platform and a feeding platform connected to the mounting platform, wherein the mounting platform has a hollow interior and has a a mounting opening facing upwardly, wherein the feeding platform is recessed with an arc-shaped feeding trough, and a drainage channel is arranged between the mounting platform and the feeding platform to connect the feeding trough to the inside of the installation platform; and a rehydration solution a tube having an opening and containing a drinking liquid, and the rehydration tube is longitudinally mounted to the mounting platform in such a manner that the opening faces the mounting opening, so that a part of the drinking liquid can flow into the feeding trough and is controlled by the surface tension principle The feeding trough forms an upwardly convex liquid level.

Among them, the drinking liquid contains 1% by weight of boric acid and 0.16% by weight of Pyriproxyfen.

The method further includes a cover disposed parallel to the base for shielding the feeding platform and having a spacing between the covering and the feeding platform.

Wherein, the mounting platform and the fixing portion can be fixed to the ground by a plurality of fixing nails.

According to the above, one of the effects of the present invention is that the feeding trough is in the shape of an arc, and when the drinking liquid is in the feeding trough, an upwardly convex liquid can be formed in the feeding trough by the principle of surface tension. The surface allows the drinking liquid to be higher than the upper edge of the feeding trough, so that the ants can feed, thereby enhancing the effect of poisoning the ants.

According to the above, the second effect of the present invention is that the drinking liquid can maintain a certain height in the feeding trough by the principle of atmospheric pressure, and the drinking liquid in the rehydration tube can be automatically replenished when the ant is taken. Into the feeding trough.

By the above, the invention can achieve the third effect, and the cover is arranged in parallel above the base, which can effectively prevent large animals from ingesting the drinking liquid in the feeding trough, and further, the first perforation and covering by the base The second perforation enables the present invention to be fixed to the ground by a plurality of fixing nails to prevent it from being pushed down or destroyed by external force.

Referring to Figures 1 to 6, the present invention provides an insect liquid feeding device 100 comprising:

a susceptor 10 having a mounting platform 11 and a feeding platform 12 connected to the mounting platform 11, wherein the mounting platform 11 and the feeding platform 12 can be disposed on the ground in a lateral arrangement, and the mounting platform 11 and the feeding platform 12 are all rectangular, and the mounting platform 11 is slightly higher than the feeding platform 12.

The mounting platform 11 has a hollow interior and has an upwardly facing mounting opening 13 with an annular wall portion 14 extending upwardly from the mounting opening 13 and having an internal thread 15 at the inner edge of the wall portion 14. Further, the mounting platform 11 has a plurality of longitudinal first perforations 16 and, preferably, the first perforations 16 are two and are symmetrically disposed adjacent to the feeding platform 12 at the mounting platform 11.

The feeding platform 12 is concavely provided with an arc-shaped feeding slot 17, and the side edge ring of the feeding platform 12 is provided with an inclined portion 18 extending downwards, so that the overall width of the feeding platform 12 is larger than the mounting platform 11, as shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 2, a drainage channel 19 is provided between the mounting platform 11 and the feeding platform 12 to communicate the feeding trough 17 to the inside of the mounting platform 11.

A fluid replacement tube 20, which is transparent and has an opening 21, the outer edge of the opening 21 has an external thread 22 which can be screwed to the internal thread 15 of the wall portion 14 such that the fluid replacement tube 20 is oriented with the opening 21 toward the mounting opening 13 The method is longitudinally mounted on the mounting platform 11, and the liquid replenishing tube 20 is provided with a drinking liquid 40, so that a part of the drinking liquid 40 can flow into the feeding trough 17 via the mounting platform 11 and the drainage channel 19, and the surface tension principle is used. The feeding trough 17 forms an upwardly convex liquid surface 41, as shown in Fig. 5, and the drinking liquid 40 contains 1% by weight of boric acid and 0.16% by weight of Pyriproxyfen. .

A cover 30 is disposed in parallel with the base 10 and has a shape corresponding to the base 10 for shielding the feeding platform 12, and a gap between the cover 30 and the feeding platform 12 is provided. More than the height of an ant 200.

The cover 30 has a fixing portion 31 and an extending portion 32 extending from the fixing portion 31. The fixing portion 31 has a circular hole 33 for being sleeved on the wall portion 14 of the mounting platform 11, and the fixing portion 31 is opposite. One of the mounting platforms 11 is recessed with an engaging groove 34 for abutting the upper edge of the mounting platform 11 so that the fixing portion 31 can be snap-fitted to the mounting platform 11 as shown in FIG. 4, and the extending portion 32 is Relative to the feeding platform 12 to shield it.
