Description

Insect device

The invention relates to an insect trapping device, in particular to a trapping device for a combined pheromone trap and a light source.

Since the development of agriculture by humans, in order to improve the quality and quantity of crop production, farmers must work to protect crops from natural disasters and pests. Common pest control methods such as spraying pesticides have the advantages of low price, easy operation, and remarkable effects, but there are pesticide residues that cannot be ignored. As the Chinese gradually pay more attention to healthy eating and environmental protection, safer pest control methods are the key projects that the industry is now committed to.

A sexual pheromone trap is one of the safe methods of pest control. Sex pheromones are chemicals that transmit the estrus state of a female. Since many species of insects release pheromones to attract spouses, sexual pheromones attract convenient use of this biological property to attract and capture the insects by distributing the specific pheromones of specific species of insects. The environment will not have any effect, but the existing sexual pheromones can only be captured for a single species of insects, and further improvements are needed.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an insect trap that attracts a variety of insects.

Thus, the insect trapping device of the present invention is adapted to capture at least one insect, the trap device comprising a shell, at least one insect inlet, at least one funnel portion, a monochromatic pheromone trap, and a light source. The cover defines an accommodation space. The insect inlet opening is narrowly disposed on the surface of the cover body and communicates with the accommodating space for one-way passage of the at least one insect. The funnel portion is connected to the lower surface of the cover body and communicates with the accommodating space. The pheromone attracting piece is disposed in the accommodating space. The light source is disposed in the accommodating space for attracting the at least one insect.

In some embodiments, a plurality of funnel portions are included, and the funnel portions are upwardly connected with the larger diameter end, and are connected to the cover body at intervals, and are connected at a larger end of the lowermost funnel portion. Under the cover.

In some embodiments, the cover is a transparent material, and the cover includes a top wall and a side wall extending downward from the periphery of the top wall.

In some embodiments, the insect entry opening is formed in the top wall of the enclosure.

In some embodiments, the insect inlet port is formed in the sidewall of the shell.

In some implementations, the light source is an LED light bulb.

In some embodiments, the light source is a wavelength-tunable luminaire.

The invention has the effect of trapping a plurality of insects by the cooperation of the pheromones and the light source.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

1 and 2, a first embodiment of the insect trapping device of the present invention comprises a cover 1, a plurality of insect inlets 2, a funnel portion 3, a monochromatic pheromones trap 4, and a light source. 5. The user can connect the trap device to a PET bottle 6 and mount it on a fixing rod 7, and then insert the fixing rod 7 next to the farmland 8 to be protected. By cooperating with the light source 5 and the light source 5, a plurality of insects can be induced to enter the cover 1 from the insect inlet port 2, and the funnel portion 3 can be slipped into the PET bottle 6 and cannot be Escaped to achieve the effect of trapping a variety of insects to avoid damage to crops in the farmland 8.

The cover body 1 includes a top wall 11 and a side wall 12 extending downward from the periphery of the top wall 11. The top wall 11 and the side wall 12 define an accommodating space 13. The insect inlet port 2 is preferably provided in the side wall 12 of the cover body 1 in a narrow outer width and communicates with the accommodating space 13 for a plurality of insects to pass through and enter the accommodating space 13 . The funnel portion 3 is connected to the lower surface of the cover 1 and communicates with the accommodating space 13 at one end having a larger diameter. The smaller end of the funnel portion 3 can be connected to the PET bottle 6 to receive the trapped pests.

The pheromone attracting piece 4 is disposed in the accommodating space 13 of the cover 1 and can be suspended or fixed to the top wall 11 of the cover 1 by a clamp. The sexual pheromone attracting tablet 4 is coated with a pheromone component of a main pest of the crop to be protected, and the main pest can be induced to enter the shell 1. In the present embodiment, the insect repellent device is disposed, for example, in a farmland 8 in which sweet potato is grown. Since the main pest of the sweet potato is a sweet potato ant image, the sexual pheromones are coated with the sweet potato ant image. The Lomon component is used to induce the sweet potato ant image to enter the shell 1. However, according to the actual application, the implementation method of the pheromones is not limited thereto, and the corresponding pheromones traps 4 can be made according to different kinds of pests, and can also be set for different kinds of insects at the same time. Sexual pheromone traps 4.

The light source 5 is disposed in the accommodating space 13. In the embodiment, the light source 5 uses an LED bulb, in particular, an LED bulb with a variable wavelength. Since the photoreactive insect has a pigment on the retina, it can absorb light of a certain wavelength and cause a light reaction, stimulating the optic nerve and tending toward the light source 5, and thus can utilize this characteristic to attract various phototaxis insects. It is worth noting that because the visible region of insects is more biased towards short-wavelength light than the visible region of humans (390-700 nm), and the wavelength of light waves preferred by each insect is different, it can actually respond to the insect species to be trapped. The wavelength emitted by the light source 5, for example, the phototaxis of the lepidopteran and the coleopteran insect, can be adjusted to adjust the wavelength emitted by the light source 5 to 300-400 nm.

Referring to Fig. 3, a second embodiment of the insect trapping device of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in that the number of the funnel portions 3 is plural. In the present embodiment, the number of the funnel portions 3 is three, but not limited thereto. The funnel portions 3 are all upward with a larger diameter end, and are connected to the side wall 12 at intervals with each other. The lower funnel portion 3 is connected to the lower side of the cover body 1 by a larger diameter end, and the smaller diameter end is connected to the PET bottle 6. Its role is to increase the difficulty of the trapped insects to escape, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the trap.

Referring to FIG. 4, a third embodiment of the insect trapping device of the present invention is different from the second embodiment in that the insect inlet port 2 is disposed on the top wall 11 of the cover body 1 and communicates with the accommodating space. 13, its role is to increase the difficulty of trapping insects to escape, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the trap device.

In summary, the insect trapping device of the present invention can induce a plurality of insects to enter the shell 1 from the insect inlet port 2 by the cooperation of the pheromone attracting insect piece 4 and the light source 5, and further the funnel portion 3 Sliding into the PET bottle 6 and not being able to escape, not only can achieve the effect of trapping a variety of insects, but also enhance the trapping effect on a single type of insect, so it can achieve the object of the present invention.

However, the above is only the embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, and all the equivalent equivalent changes and modifications according to the scope of the patent application and the patent specification of the present invention are still The scope of the invention is covered.
