Description

Detective mosquito trapping robot

The present invention relates to the technical field of a mosquito trap, in particular to a mosquito-detecting and hunting robot that can move and automatically hunt mosquitoes.

Taiwan is located in the subtropical region and has a climate that is conducive to the growth of mosquitoes and flies, so mosquito traps are quite popular in Taiwan to eliminate mosquitoes. Most of the mosquito traps in Class 1 emit light of a specific wavelength to attract mosquitoes into the trap, and then kill the mosquitoes by electric shock.

Since most of this kind of mosquito traps are fixed-point type, after a period of use, mosquitoes will not be attracted by the mosquito trap, which greatly reduces the mosquito trapping effect. In addition, after the mosquitoes and flies are caught by the aforementioned insect trap, their corpses will be concentrated in the trap and will be removed after a period of time. There is also a problem of easy breeding of germs.

However, the two previous patent cases lacked active trapping designs, such as odor trapping, light source trapping, and suction trapping. These two previous patent cases did not further process and use dead mosquitoes.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mosquito-detecting and hunting robot that has mobility and active trapping properties, so that the mosquito-trapping robot can move around and detect mosquitoes, and perform actions to kill mosquitoes.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes and effects, the present invention discloses a scouting-type mosquito-catching robot comprising a main body; a moving element arranged at the bottom end of the main body so that the main body can move under control; and a trapping device installed on The main body; a silent suction unit, located in the main body; a power grid killing unit, located inside the main body; a fish tank, located inside the main body and located below the power grid killing unit; an energy unit, Is installed in the main body to provide the energy required by the silent suction unit and the grid killing unit; and a controller is installed in the main body and electrically connected to the trapping device, the silent suction device, the grid killing unit and The energy unit.

The controller is used for controlling the trapping device, the silent inhalation device and the power grid killing unit to start, the trapping device is used for attracting the mosquito to approach the main body, the silent inhalation device actively sucks the mosquito into the main body, and the power grid kills The unit is used to kill the mosquito that enters the main body, and the killed mosquito falls into the fish tank.

Therefore, the scouting-type mosquito trapping robot of the present invention can move around, and can use the trapping device, the silent suction device and the grid killing unit to provide passive and active trapping and killing mosquito modes, achieving the effect of increasing the probability of trapping mosquitoes .
