[0002] Currently, traditional oral medications for aquatic animals are mainly administered by mixing the medications with aquatic animal feed and then feeding them after processing such as adhesion. The feed mixed with the medications will dissolve in water, resulting in low drug utilization efficiency. Most of the drugs and feed still remain in the water. Over time, drug residues such as antibiotics in the water pollute the aquatic ecological environment and are also not conducive to the growth of aquatic animals. Worms such as black soldier flies have high palatability for aquatic animals. The bodies of the worms have cavities and the worm skins are strong, making them an excellent drug carrier material. By quantitatively injecting the medications to be administered into the black soldier flies in the form of a solution, the effect of quantitative and precise drug administration can be achieved. The described drug administration method has the advantages of high efficiency, low pollution, and no antibiotic overuse.

[0043] See Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a worm body drug injection device 100 provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the worm body drug injection device 100 mainly includes:

[0044] A worm placing plate 110, on the injection surface of the worm placing plate 110, circular worm holes 111 are arranged in an array, and each of the circular worm holes 111 accommodates a worm body;

[0045] An injector 120, including an injection tube 121, a push rod 122, and a needle plate 123. The push rod 122 fits on the inner surface of the injection tube 121, the push rod 122 slides along the inner surface of the injection tube 121, the needle plate 123 is connected to the injection end of the injection tube 121, and a plurality of needles 124 are arranged on the needle plate 123;

[0046] There is a gap between the needle plate 123 and the worm placing plate 110. The injection tube 121 moves towards the worm placing plate 110 so that the needles 124 extend into the circular worm holes 111, and the drug in the injection tube 121 is injected into the worm body in the corresponding worm hole through the needles 124.

[0047] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a worm body drug injection device 100. By quantitatively injecting the drug to be administered into the black soldier fly in the form of a solution, the effects of quantitative and precise drug administration can be achieved. The drug administration method has the advantages of high efficiency, low pollution, and no antibiotic overuse.

[0048] During specific assembly, the needle plate 123 is connected to the injection end of the injection tube 121, and the plurality of needles 124 are arranged on the needle plate 123. The position of each needle 124 corresponds to the position of the circular worm holes 111 arranged in an array on the injection surface of the worm placing plate 110.

[0049] During use, considering that worms such as black soldier flies have high palatability to aquatic animals, black soldier flies can be selected as drug carriers. By quantitatively injecting the drug to be administered into the black soldier fly in the form of a solution and then feeding it to aquatic animals or livestock and poultry, the efficiency is high and the environmental pollution is small. However, considering that the black soldier fly worm body is small and not easy to fix, and the drug injection efficiency for each individual black soldier fly is low, the drilling or weak light tendency characteristics of worms such as black soldier flies can be used to fix the black soldier flies.

[0050] Specifically, place the black soldier fly on the insect cloth board 110. Circular insect holes 111 are arranged in an array on the injection surface of the insect cloth board 110. Each circular insect hole 111 houses one black soldier fly body. There is a gap between the needle board 123 and the insect cloth board 110. After standing for a period of time until the black soldier flies drill into the circular insect holes 111, move the injection tube 121 so that the needle 124 extends into the circular insect holes 111, and inject the drug in the injection tube into the black soldier fly bodies in the corresponding circular insect holes 111 through the needle 124.

[0051] On the basis of the above embodiment, a plurality of flow channels are arranged at the injection end position of the injection tube 121. The injection tube 121 is communicated with the needle 124 through the flow channels, and one flow channel corresponds to the liquid inlet end of one needle 124.

[0052] During use, considering that when directly injecting through the injection tube 121 alone, different positions of the needle 124 will result in uneven drug amounts injected by each needle 124. To ensure accurate quantification, a plurality of the flow channels are arranged at the injection end position of the injection tube 121. The injection tube 121 is communicated with the needle 124 through the flow channels, and one flow channel corresponds to the liquid inlet end of one needle 124, so that when batch injecting drugs into the black soldier flies, the drug injection amounts of each needle 124 are the same.

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiment, the insect body drug injection device 100 further includes a moving component (not shown in the figure);

[0054] The moving component is arranged at the side position of the injection tube 121. Both the injection tube 121 and the insect cloth board 110 are connected to the moving component. The moving component is used to move the injection tube 121 relatively closer to or farther away from the insect cloth board 110.

[0055] The moving component can be a robotic arm or a slide rail, etc. The injection tube 121 and the insect cloth board 110 are moved through the moving component.

[0056] Optionally, the insect body drug injection device 100 further includes a steam component (not shown in the figure). The steam component is arranged at the side position of the insect cloth board 110. The steam component is used to heat the insects on the insect cloth board 110 for sterilization, and the moving component moves the insect cloth board 110 relatively closer to or farther away from the steam component.

[0057] During use, considering that there is gas in the cavity of the black soldier fly larvae, directly injecting drugs may cause damage to the larvae. The black soldier fly larvae can be treated with high-temperature steam. When the larvae are heated, their volume expands, expelling the air in the cavity. After steam sterilization, they are taken out and pre-cooled, and the larvae will collapse and shrink, providing space for micro-injecting drugs. A moving component and a steam component can be set up. Both the injection tube 121 and the insect placement board 110 are connected to the moving component. The moving component moves the insect placement board 110 into the steam component for high-temperature steam heating and sterilization. After heating is completed, the moving component moves the insect placement board 110 out of the steam component for cooling. After the black soldier fly larvae cool and collapse, the moving component moves the injection tube 121 closer to the insect placement board 110, causing the needle 124 to pierce into the black soldier fly larvae to complete drug injection.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, an illumination component (not shown in the figure) is provided above the insect placement board 110, and the irradiation direction of the illumination component faces the injection surface of the insect placement board 110.

[0059] Optionally, the illumination component includes a light strip that fits against the needle board 123; or,

[0060] The illumination component includes a bracket and a light bulb. The light bulb is arranged on the bracket, and the bracket surrounds the edge of the insect placement board 110.

[0061] During use, considering the biological habit of the black soldier fly to be attracted to weak light, an illumination component is provided above the insect placement board 110, and the irradiation direction of the illumination component faces the injection surface of the insect placement board 110, so that the black soldier fly drills head-down into the insect hole to avoid strong light. After standing for a period of time, the black soldier fly larvae on the insect placement board 110 will present a state of head-down, with the tail exposed and facing up, facilitating subsequent drug injection operations. At the same time, the illumination component can be a light strip that fits against the needle board 123. Of course, the illumination component can also be a bracket that surrounds and is arranged at the edge of the insect placement board 110, with multiple light bulbs arranged on the bracket.

[0062] In addition, referring to Figure 4 , this embodiment also provides a method for using an insect body drug injection device, which is applied to an insect body drug injection device. The insect body drug injection device can be the drug injection device provided in the above Figures 1 to 3 shown embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, the method includes:

[0063] Providing an insect body drug injection device and multiple insect bodies. The insect body drug injection device includes an insect placement board, an injection component, a needle board, and an illumination component;

[0064] S101. Place multiple of the insect bodies on the insect cloth board and let them stand still.

[0065] S102. When the head of the insect body drills into the circular insect hole on the insect cloth board, control the injection assembly to inject the drug in the injection tube into the insect body.

[0066] The method provided in this embodiment specifically defines the usage method of the insect body drug injection device 100. Specifically, 100 of the black soldier flies can be placed on the insect cloth board 110 at one time and left to stand still. The preset standing time is 10 minutes. When the head of the black soldier fly drills into the circular insect hole on the insect cloth board 110, control the injection assembly 120 to inject the drug in the injection tube 121 into the insect body. Of course, according to different requirements, the area of the insect cloth board 110 can be increased so that the insect cloth board 110 can place more of the black soldier flies at one time. In order to ensure that all the black soldier flies can drill into the circular insect holes on the insect cloth board 110, the preset standing time can also be set longer.

[0067] On the basis of the above embodiment, before the step of when the head of the insect body drills into the circular insect hole on the insect cloth board 110, control the injection assembly 120 to inject the drug in the injection tube 121 into the insect body, the method further includes:

[0068] Control the lighting assembly to irradiate the insect bodies on the insect cloth board 110.

[0069] When the head of the insect body drills into the circular insect hole 111, control the moving assembly to move the insect cloth board 110 to the steam assembly to heat and sterilize the insect body.

[0070] During specific implementation, control the lighting assembly such as a light strip or a light bulb to irradiate the black soldier fly insect bodies on the injection surface of the insect cloth board 110. Since the black soldier fly has a tendency towards weak light, the black soldier fly will move in the direction opposite to the light direction. After using the lighting assembly to irradiate the black soldier fly insect bodies on the injection surface of the insect cloth board 110 for a period of time, the head of the black soldier fly will drill into the circular insect hole 111, and then control the moving assembly to move the insect cloth board 110 to the steam assembly to perform high-temperature steam heating on the black soldier fly insect bodies, so that the black soldier flies expel the air in the cavity and are sterilized.

[0071] Further, the step of when the head of the insect body drills into the circular insect hole on the insect cloth board 110, control the injection assembly 120 to inject the drug in the injection tube 121 into the insect body includes:

[0072] Control the moving assembly to move the insect cloth board 110 out of the steam assembly for cooling.

[0073] After the cloth insect board 110 is cooled, control the moving component to pierce the needle on the needle board into the tail of the insect body;

[0074] Inject the drug in the injection tube of the injection component 120 into the insect body.

[0075] For example, after heating is completed, control the moving component to move the cloth insect board 110 out of the steam component. The black soldier fly larvae will collapse and shrink due to the temperature drop. After cooling is completed, control the moving component to move the injection tube 121 closer to the cloth insect board 110 so that the needle 124 pierces the tail of the black soldier fly, and then inject the drug in the injection tube 121 into the insect body.

[0076] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an insect body drug carrier, which is made by using the method for using the insect body drug injection device provided in the above embodiment.

[0077] Insect bodies such as black soldier fly larvae are rich in various vitamins and trace elements, the calcium-phosphorus ratio is close to 1.5, the nutrition is balanced and comprehensive, and the animal palatability is good, especially suitable for feeding aquatic animals. The content of linoleic acid in the black soldier fly oil is as high as 20%. Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid for animals and is very beneficial to the growth and development of aquatic animals. The black soldier fly is rich in natural antibacterial substances - antibacterial peptides, which can reduce the diseases of aquatic animals and enhance the physical fitness of animals.

[0078] Traditional oral medicines for aquatic animals are mainly fed by mixing the medicines with aquatic animal baits through processes such as mixing and adhesion. The bait mixed with the medicine will dissolve in water, resulting in low drug utilization efficiency. Most of the drugs and baits still remain in the water body. In the long run, a large number of bacteria will breed in the water body, which is not conducive to the growth of aquatic animals. In order to adjust the water quality, farmers often use drugs such as antibiotics that are cheap and have quick effects to adjust the water quality. The uncontrolled use of antibiotics is likely to cause overuse. The cortex of the black soldier fly is relatively thick and there is a cavity in the abdomen. The drug can be wrapped with the black soldier fly insect body to achieve the purpose of accurate feeding and reducing water pollution.

[0079] In summary, the insect body drug injection device of the above embodiment of the present disclosure can fix the position of the insect body and achieve quantitative and accurate drug delivery to the insect body by setting a cloth insect board, an injection component, a moving component, a steam component and a lighting component, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the insect body drug injection device while ensuring that the drug can be stored in the insect body for feeding aquatic organisms, with high drug utilization rate and preventing water pollution.

[0080] As described above, this is only a specific implementation of the present disclosure. However, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure should be covered within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
