[0031] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0032] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0033] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
[0034] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., are based on the directions or positions shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0035] The development of spiders includes three stages: egg sac, nymph and adult. The inventors found that the difficulty in raising spiders is mainly the raising of one-year-old spiderlings. The mortality rate of hatched spiderlings is very high during the one-year-old period, and there is cannibalism, while separate raising requires high costs and a large space.
[0036] To overcome the above defects, the present embodiment provides a spider breeding device. With the spider breeding device, spiders can be raised and bred indoors completely under artificial conditions, saving space, reducing costs, and reducing cannibalism among young spiders.
[0037] The indoor mentioned above refers to the open space (open-air cultivation or semi-open-air environment) of the spider's natural growth environment, which means that the spider is in a completely artificial and fully enclosed space, and does not need to be placed in a natural environment from the hatching of the egg sac to the adult. Raising and breeding indoors means that the spider's complete life cycle is raised under completely artificial conditions, and normal reproduction under natural conditions can be achieved.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spider breeding device in this embodiment includes a breeding component and a breeding component. The breeding component includes a breeding shell 3 and a breeding cover 4. The breeding shell 3 has a breeding chamber for accommodating spiders, and the breeding shell 3 is provided with an introduction port 33. The breeding cover 4 can be movably arranged on the breeding shell 3 to open or close the introduction port 33. The movable breeding cover 4 opens the introduction port 33, places the sexually mature female spider and the male spider capable of mating in the breeding chamber, closes the introduction port 33, and waits for the spider to lay eggs in the breeding chamber.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding bottom frame 1 and a feeding closed cover 2. The feeding closed cover 2 is buckled with the feeding bottom frame 1, and the two together enclose a closed and breathable feeding space. The inner cavity of the feeding bottom frame 1 is divided into multiple feeding troughs by a plurality of crisscross partitions 13, and an escape gap is maintained between the feeding closed cover 2 and the partition 13. The feeding closed cover 2 is provided with a spiderling introduction hole 24 that can be opened and closed. The breeding shell 3 is provided with an escape hole 34 that can be connected to the spiderling introduction hole 24, and the size of the escape hole 34 is smaller than the body size of the female spider. After laying eggs, the male spider can escape from the escape hole 34 and the spiderling introduction hole 24 to the feeding space, while the female spider is confined in the breeding shell 3, thereby preventing the female spider from killing the male spider. After opening the buckled feeding closed cover 2 and the feeding bottom frame 1 and taking out the male spider, the feeding bottom frame 1 and the feeding closed cover 2 are buckled and connected. The spider breeding device is placed in a hatching environment. After the spiderlings are hatched in the breeding chamber, the spiderlings enter the breeding space through the spiderling introduction hole 24 and the escape hole 34, so as to avoid being killed by mature spiders. After all the spiderlings enter the breeding space, the spiderling introduction hole 24 is closed to prevent the spiderlings from escaping. In the breeding space, since the spiderlings expel each other, the spiderlings gradually disperse and crawl from the escape gaps to separate breeding troughs, thereby reducing the mutual killing of spiderlings and improving the survival rate.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding closed cover 2 is provided with a plurality of feed introduction holes 23 located above each feeding trough. The feed introduction holes 23 can be opened and closed. When the feed introduction holes 23 are opened, water and food can be fed into the feeding troughs adjacent thereto. Closing the feed introduction holes 23 prevents the spiderlings from escaping. The feed can be fruit flies, which are fed into the feeding space through the feed introduction holes 23 and freely diffuse to any feeding trough in the escape gap to be preyed on by the spiderlings.
[0041] The spider breeding device provided by this embodiment can completely achieve the breeding and passing on of spiders under artificial conditions, thus breaking the limitation of seasons (the population in the wild is scarce in winter). The hatching rate of spiderlings in the breeding component is high, and the survival rate of spiderlings in the breeding component is high. Compared with the wild population and the prior art, the survival rate of spiderlings has been significantly improved. The structure of this spider breeding device is simple. In a compact space, separate breeding tanks are used to separately isolate and breed spiderlings, reducing cannibalism, saving space, and facilitating large-scale passing on.
[0042] As Figure 2 shown, optionally, the breeding bottom frame 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a surrounding frame 12 provided on the edge of the bottom plate 11. Both ends of the partition plate 13 are connected to the opposite inner side walls of the surrounding frame 12. The breeding closed cover 2 includes a top plate 21 and a border 22 provided on the edge of the top plate 21. The border 22 is buckled towards the surrounding frame 12, and a running-away gap is maintained between the top plate 21 and the partition plate 13. That is to say, the criss-cross partition plates 13 divide multiple breeding tanks in the bottom plate 11 and the surrounding frame 12. By utilizing the mutual expulsion characteristics among spiderlings and the independence of the breeding tanks, individual spiderlings are bred separately, reducing cannibalism among spiderlings. Through the cooperation of the mutually extending surrounding frame 12 and the border 22, the closed connection between the breeding bottom frame 1 and the breeding closed cover 2 is realized, with a simple structure. The top plate 21 is positioned at a certain distance above the partition plate 13 to form a running-away gap, facilitating the dispersion of spiderlings. Through the above settings, the structure of this spider breeding device is simple, the space is compact, and the cost is low. In this embodiment, the height of the partition plate 13 is not lower than the height of the surrounding frame 12, so as to relatively ensure the depth of the breeding tank and reduce cannibalism among spiderlings. Optionally, the running-away gap is 0.3 cm.
[0043] As Figure 2 shown, optionally, each breeding tank is distributed in a rectangular array within the breeding bottom frame 1. Any four breeding tanks sharing a common side edge form a "field"-shaped breeding group. A feed inlet hole 23 is provided on the top plate 21 directly above the common side edge of any one breeding group. Water and food can be supplied to the four breeding tanks through one feed inlet hole 23, relatively reducing the number of required feed inlet holes 23 and reducing experimental operations. In this embodiment, exemplarily, there are 100 breeding tanks, and the length, width, and height of a single breeding tank are all 4 cm. The feed inlet hole 23 is a round hole with a diameter of 2 cm.
[0044] As Figure 2 shown, optionally, the spider breeding device further includes an escape shield 5 for semi-closing the mouths of the breeding tanks. The escape shield 5 is provided on the partition plate 13. That is to say, the escape shield 5 partially closes the mouths of the breeding tanks. By providing the escape shield 5 for spiderlings to avoid other spiders of the same kind, the mutual chasing and cannibalism among spiderlings can be significantly reduced. In this embodiment, the escape shield 5 just closes half of the area of the mouth of the breeding tank.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the spider breeding device may further include a residue collection plate 6. A receiving gap is formed between the partition plate 13 and the bottom plate 11. The surrounding frame 12 is provided with a socket 121 connected to the receiving gap. The residue collection plate 6 is inserted into the receiving gap through the socket 121 and serves as the bottom wall of each breeding trough. The young spiders weave webs and live in their respective breeding troughs. Metabolites produced by the young spiders fall on the bottom wall of the breeding trough, i.e., the residue collection plate 6. The residue collection plate 6 can be drawn out from the socket 121 to flush the spider excrement and food debris at one time, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance.
[0046] Optionally, the spider breeding device further comprises a closed limiting strip 7 for closing the socket 121, the closed limiting strip 7 being arranged at one end of the residue collecting plate 6, and when the residue collecting plate 6 is used as the bottom wall of each breeding trough, the closed limiting strip 7 is abutted against the surrounding frame 12. The closed limiting strip 7 closes the socket 121 on the one hand to prevent the young spider from escaping, and on the other hand serves as a limiting structure of the residue collecting plate 6 to facilitate the installation and positioning of the residue collecting plate 6.
[0047] Optionally, the breeding shell 3 includes a breeding box 31 and a conical introduction portion 32 arranged at the lower end of the breeding box 31, and an escape hole 34 is provided at the lower end of the conical introduction portion 32, and the conical introduction portion 32 can be plugged into the spiderling introduction hole 24. The breeding shell 3 is plugged and connected with the spiderling introduction hole 24 of the breeding closed cover 2 through the conical introduction portion 32, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the breeding component and the breeding component, and then convenient for placing the female spider and the male spider to be mated, and taking away the female spider and the male spider that escapes to the breeding space. In a specific implementation, the female spider and the male spider are placed in the breeding box 31, and the spiders build webs and live above the escape hole 34. After mating and laying eggs, the male spider can escape from the escape hole 34 to the breeding space and wait to be taken away. In this embodiment, the breeding component is separated, the breeding closed cover 2 is opened, and the male spider is manually taken away.
[0048] Specifically, the length, width and height of the breeding box 31 are all 5 cm. The tapered introduction portion 32 is 3 cm long in the height direction.
[0049] The conical introduction part 32 facilitates egg laying and introduction of spiderlings into the breeding assembly. Further, the conical introduction part 32 is inserted downward into the spiderling introduction hole 24, and the spiderlings after hatching naturally fall along it and are guided into the breeding space.
[0050] The size of the escape hole 34 is determined according to the type of spider being raised. In the present embodiment, the spider being raised is the greenhouse spider, and the size of the escape hole 34 is 0.5 cm.
[0051] Optionally, the top of the breeding box 31 is open upward to form an introduction port 33, and the breeding cover 4 is buckled at the introduction port 33. It is convenient to put in and take out the spiders for laying eggs.
[0052] Optionally, the spider breeding device further includes a breathable sealing member 8 having the same number and one-to-one correspondence with the feed introduction holes 23, and the breathable sealing member 8 can be detachably sealed to seal the corresponding feed introduction holes 23. The breathable sealing member 8 can be a breathable plug, which is inserted into the feed introduction hole 23 to prevent the young spiders from escaping. The breathable sealing member 8 can also be a breathable baffle, which is clamped on the breeding closure cover 2, and also achieves the effect of preventing the young spiders from escaping.
[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
