Abstract：The mechanizing technology of capturing and controlling locust, which the factors of the sliding effect between locust and slope plate should be explored to solve the capturing operation effectiveness, is one of the most useful methods to realize the controlling locust innocuously and the locust resource being used. Utilizing the own slippage experiment box and video monitoring system, and adopting contrast experiment method, the sliding effect of locust on the surface of slippage plate with different materials and slanting angles was tested, and the factors that effect the sliding behaviors of locust on the surface of slope plate was analyzed. The results lead us to suggest that when the materials of slope plate are zinc plate, silicate glass, and PVC plastic, the sliding effect improves obviously as the slanting angles augments. The zinc plate possesses considerable sliding effect, and the silicate glass owns weak effect, and the PVC plastic is in the middle when the slanting angle is confirmed. Basing on the experiment result, zinc plate is more suitable for the slope plate of locust capturing mechanism equipment, and the relevant minimum slanting angle should be 40°. Presumably, the sliding effect of locust on the surface of slope plate is affected by the avoirdupois of locust and the slanting angle of slope plate, as well as the surface roughness and rigidity of slope plate that owing to the contact fashions between locust legs and surface of objects, including interlock and flexible attachment.
