JPH0339027A - Vacuum type sucking insect-catching device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to efficiently catch an insect pest by flow and sucking of air without using agricultural chemical, etc., by providing a constitution in which sucking port of air having a conduit like recessed face is joined to a vacuum type insect catching device with a sucking tube to a sucking insect catching device. CONSTITUTION:A vacuum shaped insect catching device V is joined to a sucking port 3 formed into a conduit like recessed face with a flexible sucking tube 4. The vacuum like insect catching device V is substantially same as device well known as vacuum cleaner. Then the vacuum type sucking insect catching device is automatically or manually traveled utilizing wheels 5 and a sucking port 3 is opposed to a vegetable 2 and insect catching device V is operated and air is sucked from arrow direction into a sucking port 3 and content in the sucking tube 4 is moved to arrow 8 direction and introduced into a body of insect catching device V. Thereby insect pests attached to the surface of the vegetable 2 is flied up in surprise by flow of air and vibration of leaves of vegetable 2 and caught into a insect catching bag of the insect catching device V by air flow 7.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] =Purpose of the invention= [Industrial application field] Pertains to the field of removing pests from vegetables and fruit trees.

[Conventional technology]

Insects were chemically killed by spraying pesticide liquid on them.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The method of using pesticides causes pollution, so pests are removed without using pesticides.

=Structure of the invention= [Means for solving the problem] The problem is solved by adopting a vacuum-type pest suction means in which the air suction port has a gutter-shaped concave surface so that pests can be efficiently sucked in along with the suction air. .

[Example and operation]

The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

In the figure, 1 is a cultivation tank, 2 is a vegetable such as honeysuckle and tomatoes, ■ is a vacuum type insect trap, and 3 is a suction port, which is concave in the shape of a gutter and faces the vegetable surface. It has become. Reference numeral 4 denotes a suction pipe.The main body of the night vacuum insect trap is substantially the same as that conventionally known as, for example, a vacuum cleaner.

Reference numeral 5 denotes wheels, such as casters, provided at the lower part of the insect trap body, which are integrated with the suction port 3 and the suction pipe 4 on the ground 6 so that the insect trap can be moved automatically or manually.

Note that the suction pipe 4 may be made flexible so that the suction port 3 can be freely moved by hand so as to stroke the upper surface of the vegetables 2.

When the insect trap is operated in this manner, air is sucked into the suction port 3 from the direction of the arrow 7, passes through the suction pipe 4 in eight directions, and is introduced into the insect trap main body. At this time, the insect pests 9 (e.g., whiteflies on tomatoes) that had adhered to the surface of the vegetables are startled by the air flow and the accompanying vibration of the vegetable leaves, and fly up, and the air flow 7 attracts the insects into the traps of the insect trap ■. can be captured.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the suction port 3, in which 10 is something like a fluorescent lamp, which serves as a moth attracting lamp.

Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of the insect trap ■, in which the suction port 3 is inclined in the case of a standing tree such as a tomato. It can be held at an appropriate angle with the main body (2).The inclination angle can also be adjusted manually by loosening the set screw holding part.

FIG. 5 shows the case of a large tree 15 such as an apple tree, which is covered with a cloak-like covering 12 of a vinyl sheet.

An opening 13 for air inflow is provided in the upper part of the cover 12,
The side part can be opened and closed with a zipper 14.

Similarly, a zipper (not shown) is used at the lower part to cover the entire tree, and a suction port 3 is provided at a suitable position in the lower part.

In this case, manually remove the pest to make it easier for the pest to leave the leaf.
Shake the tree vigorously.

FIG. 6 shows an example applied to a grape trellis 16, and FIG. 7 shows an example applied to a ridge 18 for growing rice or cabbage 17.

Note that it is also effective to shake the pests in advance from the air outlet of a hot air blower such as a hair dryer at a suitable location apart from the air suction port 3.

〔effect〕

Since the present invention is provided with the special suction port as described above,
Pests on vegetables and fruit trees can be physically and efficiently captured by air movement and suction, so there is no pollution problem like that caused by pesticides.

There is also the secondary effect of activating the leaves through air movement.

Claims (1)

[Claims] It is a vacuum-type insect trap that uses air suction, and the air suction port is shaped like a concave gutter so that it faces the outer surface of the vegetables and fruit trees that are to be caught. A vacuum-type suction insect trap that captures insects by air flow and suction.
