Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sericulture equipment, and in particular to a disinfection device for silkworm trays. Background Art

[0002] A silkworm tray is a place for silkworms to grow. After the silkworms grow and mature in the silkworm tray, they will spin cocoons. In order to keep the silkworm tray clean and hygienic during the breeding process, the silkworm tray needs to be cleaned regularly and disinfection powder is sprayed. In the process of modern industrial sericulture, the number of silkworms is huge, and the number of silkworm trays is also large. The method of spraying disinfectant manually is very cumbersome and inefficient, and cannot meet the needs of industrial sericulture. If a spraying device (such as a spray bottle) is used to spray disinfection powder onto a pile of silkworm trays, the spraying will be uneven. Therefore, it is necessary to design a disinfection device for silkworm trays, which can not only quickly disinfect a large number of silkworm trays, but also ensure that the disinfection powder is evenly sprayed on the silkworm trays.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The technical solutions in the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] As Figure 1-8 shown: A disinfection device for silkworm trays includes a transportation device 1 and a disinfection device 2; the transportation device 1 can transport / remove the stacked silkworm trays to / from the working area of the disinfection device 2. In this embodiment, a trolley is selected as the transportation device 1, and the silkworm tray is a rectangular plastic silkworm tray, with four legs respectively arranged at the four corners of the tray body. Therefore, there will be gaps between adjacent silkworm trays when they are stacked on top of each other; the disinfection device 2 includes a push-pull mechanism 21 and a powder distribution mechanism 22 arranged at intervals; when the transportation device 1 transports the stacked silkworm trays between the push-pull mechanism 21 and the powder disinfection mechanism, the push-pull mechanism 21 sequentially passes through the silkworm trays and moves towards the powder disinfection mechanism. The push-pull mechanism 21 drives the powder disinfection mechanism above each silkworm tray (i.e., the gap between adjacent silkworm trays) for disinfection. After disinfection, the push-pull mechanism 21 sends the powder disinfection mechanism back to its original position.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown: The push-pull mechanism 21 includes a driving mechanism 211, a fixing structure 212, and a push-pull structure 213; the push-pull structure 213 is arranged on the fixing structure 212 at intervals, and its specific setting interval can be set with reference to the specific height of the silkworm tray; the fixing structure 212 is power-connected to the driving mechanism 211; when the driving mechanism 211 operates, it can drive the fixing structure 212 and the push-pull structure 213 fixed on the fixing structure 212 to perform linear reciprocating motion; when the push-pull structure 213 moves to the maximum stroke, it abuts against the powder disinfection mechanism and can drive the powder disinfection mechanism to perform linear reciprocating motion. When the powder disinfection mechanism moves to the maximum stroke, it gradually inserts into the stacked silkworm trays until it is above each silkworm tray and completely covers the silkworm trays. In this embodiment, the powder disinfection mechanism is filled with disinfection powder, and the disinfection powder in this embodiment is preferably lime powder.

[0028] As Figure 2 、 3As shown in the figure: The fixing structure 212 includes a guide rail 2121, a push plate 2122, and a fixing plate 2123. A pulley is provided below the push plate 2122. The pulley is slidably arranged on the guide rail 2121 and is power-connected to the driving mechanism 211. The fixing plate 2123 is arranged at an interval from the push plate 2122. One end of the pushing and pulling structure 213 is fixed to the push plate 2122, and the other end is movably sleeved with the fixing plate 2123. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 211 is specifically a three-phase asynchronous motor, and a transmission chain is arranged on its output end. The transmission chain is also respectively connected to the fixing plate 2123 and the push plate 2122. When the three-phase asynchronous motor rotates forward and backward, the push plate 2122 and the pushing and pulling structure 213 fixed on the push plate 2122 can be driven to move towards / away from the fixing plate 2123.

[0029] As Figure 2 , 4 shown in the figure: The pushing and pulling structure 213 includes a push and pull rod 2131, a connecting mechanism 2132, and a vibration mechanism 2133. The rear end of the push and pull rod 2131 is fixedly arranged on the push plate 2122 in an array and can move together with the push plate 2122. The connecting mechanism 2132 and the vibration mechanism 2133 are fixed to the free end of the push and pull rod 2131. In this embodiment, two push and pull rods 2131 are arranged on the same horizontal line. The free ends of the two push and pull rods 2131 are respectively fixed on both sides of the fixing plate 2123. The connecting mechanism 2132 is respectively arranged on the end faces of the free ends of the push and pull rods 2131. A vibration mechanism 2133 is arranged on the bottom surface of the free end of one of the push and pull rods 2131. In this embodiment, the vibration mechanism 2133 selects a combined structure of a motor and a plastic gear. The plastic gear is fixed on the output end of the motor. The connecting mechanism 2132 selects an electromagnet. However, in actual use, the vibration mechanism 2133 can also select a vibrator, and the connecting mechanism 2132 can select components such as a fixture.

[0030] As Figure 1 , 5 shown in the figure: The powder disinfection mechanism includes a powder storage device 221, a first powder conveying device, a disinfection module 223, and a second powder conveying device 222. The second powder conveying device 222 is communicated with the powder storage device 221. The first powder conveying device is arranged in the disinfection module 223. The second powder conveying device 222 can convey the disinfection powder stored in the powder storage device 221 into the first powder conveying device, and then convey it into the disinfection module 223 through the first powder conveying device. In this embodiment, the second powder conveying device 222 is specifically a powder pump. The powder storage device 221 is a closed box body, and lime powder is stored inside. The first powder conveying device is a conduit 224. The disinfection module 223 has a box structure. When the powder pump is started, the lime powder in the powder storage device 221 can be pressurized and conveyed into the conduit 224, and then sent into the interior of the disinfection module 223 through the conduit 224.

[0031] As shown in Figure 5 , 6 : The disinfection module 223 is of a box structure, and guide grooves 31 are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of its interior; a screen 3 is slidably arranged on the guide grooves 31, and the screen 3 can slide out towards the pushing and pulling mechanism 21 to the outside of the box structure of the disinfection module 223; the setting position of the screen 3 corresponds to the position of the pushing and pulling structure 213; the first powder conveying device can convey disinfection powder onto each (i.e., each layer of) screen 3; the pushing and pulling structure 213 can pull out the corresponding screen 3 from the disinfection module 223 until above the corresponding silkworm tray, and after the disinfection work is completed, the pushing and pulling structure 213 can send the screen 3 back into the disinfection module 223; when the driving mechanism 211 rotates forward, the push rod 2131 moves towards the screen 3 until the connecting mechanism 2132 (i.e., the electromagnet) contacts the outer surface of the screen 3, and the connecting mechanism 2132 is fixed to the outer surface of the screen 3 (in this embodiment, an iron screen 3 is used and the electromagnet can attract the screen 3), and then the driving mechanism 211 rotates in reverse, driving the push rod 2131 to move in the reverse direction and pulling out the screen 3 above the corresponding silkworm tray. At this time, the vibration mechanism 2133 is started (when the connecting mechanism 2132 is fixed to the outer surface of the screen 3, the vibration mechanism 2133 contacts the screen 3), and the screen 3 is vibrated to make the lime powder in the screen 3 fall into the silkworm tray below. After waiting for the vibration to complete, the driving mechanism 211 rotates forward again, driving the push rod 2131 to move towards the disinfection module 223, sending the screen 3 back to its original position, and then the connecting mechanism 2132 is disconnected from the screen 3 (the electromagnet is powered off), and the driving mechanism 211 rotates in reverse again, and the push rod 2131 returns to its original position, and a single disinfection process is completed. The cooperation logic and operation process among all the above components are all controlled by the PLC program.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3 : Sleeve tubes 21231 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the fixing plate 2123; the push rod 2131 is sleeved inside the sleeve tubes 21231. The function of the sleeve tubes 21231 is to support and limit the push rod 2131, and the specific shape of the cross-section of the sleeve tubes 21231 should be similar to the specific shape of the cross-section of the push rod 2131.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7 : A guiding mechanism 4 is arranged between the pushing and pulling mechanism 21 and the powder distribution mechanism 22; the transportation device 1 is arranged within the area restricted by the guiding mechanism 4; the guiding mechanism 4 is a limiting guide plate or an electric track. In the present invention, spaced limiting guide plates are used to push the cart into the inside of the limiting guide plates and move it in a straight line direction to between the pushing and pulling mechanism 21 and the powder distribution mechanism 22.

[0034] As shown in Figure 5As shown in the figure: a powder accumulation box 2231 for receiving the disinfection powder dropped by the screen 3 and the first powder delivery device is provided at the bottom of the disinfection module 223. The powder accumulation box 2231 can be set as a drawer structure to facilitate the reuse of lime powder.

[0035] As Figure 8 shown in the figure: the first powder delivery device is a conduit 224; one end of the conduit 224 communicates with the powder storage device 221, and the other end is inserted into the disinfection module 223 from the top of the disinfection module 223; spraying ports 2241 are spaced apart on the side wall of the conduit 224; the positions of the spraying ports 2241 correspond to the positions of the screens 3, so that the lime powder in the powder storage device 221 can be conveyed into each screen 3.
