Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of crop pest and disease research technology, specifically relating to an automatic feed dispensing device for sugarcane borers. Background Technology

[0002] Sugarcane borers, commonly known as sugarcane heart borers, include common species such as the yellow leafroller (family Toxascaridae), the striped leafroller (family Pyralidae), and the two-spotted leafroller (family Pyralidae). Damage during the seedling stage results in dead hearts, while damage in mature sugarcane causes borer-bored nodes, severely impacting sugarcane growth. Research on sugarcane borers is of great significance for the prevention of sugarcane pests. In research experiments at the Academy of Sciences, the rearing of borer samples is a crucial step, facilitating the acquisition of valuable experimental data by simulating pest-prone environments with large numbers of borers, thus enabling the development of effective preventative measures for sugarcane pests.

[0003] In research experiments at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, most of the feeding devices used for sugarcane borers are manually fed. This method consumes a lot of manpower and time when large-scale breeding is required, resulting in low work efficiency and a heavy burden on researchers, which is not conducive to the development of scientific research.

[0004] For example, patent CN215648869U, entitled "A Sugarcane Borer Rearing Device," discloses an outer box, an inner box, and a corrugated plate. Both the outer and inner boxes have openings at their top. The outer box is fitted over a connecting shaft and rotatably connected to it. The inner box is inserted into the outer box, and the corrugated plate is embedded in the bottom of the inner box. In practice, selected insect eggs are evenly placed into the grooves of the corrugated plate at the bottom of the inner box, and feed is added. The cover is then closed, the rearing box is reset, and the feeding of the larvae is observed periodically. Another example is patent CN210168799U, also entitled "A Sugarcane Borer Rearing Device," which discloses that the partition may include a base plate. The substrate is flat and its shape matches the shape of the upper opening. The edge of the substrate extends upward to form a rim that matches the inner wall of the chamber. The upper end of the rim extends outward to form a flange that matches the edge of the upper opening. In actual operation, the rim and the substrate form a groove relative to the top of the chamber to facilitate manual placement of feed and rearing of borers. The drawbacks of the two existing technologies are that manual feeding is used when rearing borers, which is inefficient and cannot guarantee that the feed is evenly distributed in each area, thus reducing the rearing efficiency of borers. Therefore, based on the above-mentioned drawbacks, it is necessary to propose a better technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provides an automatic feeding device for sugarcane borers. This device mainly solves the technical problem that in the prior art, when feeding borers, manual feeding is used, which is inefficient and cannot guarantee that the feed can be evenly distributed in each area, thus reducing the feeding efficiency of borers.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an automatic sugarcane borer feed dispensing device, comprising a feeding hopper, an automatic dispensing device, and a feeding device arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0008] The automatic material dispensing device includes a material dispensing bin, multiple material dispensing rotating plates, and a drive mechanism. The material dispensing bin is provided with multiple first partitions at intervals to divide the material dispensing bin into multiple unloading spaces. Each unloading space is vertically rotatably connected to two material dispensing rotating plates, and the two material dispensing rotating plates are arranged perpendicularly. The material dispensing bin is provided with a U-shaped mounting plate, and the drive mechanism is mounted on the U-shaped mounting plate and drives the material dispensing rotating plates to rotate.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor, and each of the material distribution bins has a set of vertically meshing first driving gear, power transmission gear and first driven gear on its outer side, with the power transmission gear located between the first driving gear and the first driven gear. The two material distribution turntables from bottom to top are respectively connected to the first driving gear and the first driven gear. The motor is mounted on the U-shaped mounting plate, and its output end is connected to one of the first driving gears and is connected to one of the material distribution turntables located in the middle of the material distribution bins.

[0010] Preferably, the output end of the motor is further provided with a second driving gear, and each of the material distribution turntables located below in the plurality of material distribution bins is drivenly connected to a second driven gear. The plurality of second driven gears are drivenly connected to the second driving gear through a first chain, and the second driven gears are coaxially arranged with the first driven gear.

[0011] Preferably, the output end of the motor is further provided with a third driving gear, and multiple stirring rollers are rotatably connected laterally at intervals in the feed bin. Each of the multiple stirring rollers is driven by a third driven gear. The multiple third driven gears are driven by a second chain. The stirring roller located in the middle is also driven by a fourth driven gear. The fourth driven gear is coaxially arranged with the third driven gear and is driven by the third driving gear through a third chain.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding device includes a base box and a feeding box. The feeding box slides inside the base box in a drawer-like structure. The base box is provided with multiple second partitions at intervals above the feeding box to divide the base box into multiple feeding spaces. The multiple feeding spaces are arranged one-to-one with the unloading spaces.

[0013] Preferably, the feeding box is provided with multiple third partitions at intervals to divide the feeding box into multiple feeding spaces, and the multiple feeding spaces are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the feeding space. The feeding space is covered with a mesh that can be removed.

[0014] Preferably, a vibrator is installed on the mesh.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention provides an automatic feeding device for sugarcane borers. The device is simple in structure and easy to use. The feeding hopper, automatic feeding device, and feeding device are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, allowing for easy disassembly and relocation, thus improving the flexibility of its application. Utilizing two vertically spaced feeding turntables within the unloading space, before feeding, the two turntables are initially vertically positioned, with the upper turntable vertically positioned and the lower turntable horizontally positioned to limit and support the feed. During feeding, the two turntables are driven by a motor and connected by a first driving gear, a power transmission gear, and a first driven gear. The gears rotate 90° in cooperation, causing the two feed dispensing plates to switch to the feeding position. The upper feed dispensing plate is horizontally positioned to block the feed from falling, while the lower feed dispensing plate is vertically positioned to allow the feed in the unloading space to automatically fall into the feeding device. Afterward, the two feed dispensing plates return to their initial positions under the drive mechanism, completing one stage of dynamic dispensing and feeding. This invention features a cycle of operation in each stage, using mechanized feeding instead of manual feeding, improving work efficiency. The multiple unloading spaces are set with consistent volumes to ensure that the feed in each area is evenly distributed, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of borers.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, an automatic feeding and dispensing device for sugarcane borers includes a feeding hopper 1, an automatic dispensing device 2, and a feeding device 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The automatic dispensing device 2 includes a dispensing hopper 21, multiple dispensing rotating plates 22, and a drive mechanism 23. Multiple first partitions are spaced apart within the dispensing hopper 21 to divide it into multiple unloading spaces 211. Two dispensing rotating plates 22 are vertically rotatably connected within each unloading space 211, and the two plates 22 are vertically arranged. A U-shaped mounting plate 4 is provided on the dispensing hopper 21, and the drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the U-shaped mounting plate 4 and drives the dispensing rotating plates 22 to rotate. This invention, by using a top-to-bottom arrangement of the feeding hopper, automatic dispensing device, and feeding device, allows for detachable installation methods such as bolt connections, facilitating storage and movement and improving the flexibility of application scenarios. Simultaneously, the automatic dispensing device 2 replaces manual feeding, utilizing the advantages of mechanical automation to replace traditional manual methods, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 5 The drive mechanism 23 includes a motor 231. Each distribution bin 21 has a set of vertically meshing first drive gear 232, power transmission gear 233 and first driven gear 234 on its outer side. The power transmission gear 233 is located between the first drive gear 232 and the first driven gear 234. The two distribution plates 22 from bottom to top are respectively connected to the first drive gear 232 and the first driven gear 234. The motor 231 is mounted on the U-shaped mounting plate 4, and its output end is connected to a first drive gear 232 and is connected to a distribution plate 22 located at the bottom in the middle distribution bin 21. The structure of the first drive gear 232, power transmission gear 233 and first driven gear 234 ensures that the two vertically arranged distribution plates 22 in the unloading space 211 can be vertically arranged after rotating 90°, so as to realize the operation of blocking and unloading materials, and complete the automatic packaging and unloading of sugarcane borer feed.

[0030] Specifically, the output end of the motor 231 is also equipped with a second drive gear 235. Each of the material distribution turntables 22 located below in the multiple material distribution bins 21 is driven by a second driven gear 236. The multiple second driven gears 236 are driven by the second drive gear 232 through the first chain 5. The second driven gears 236 and the first driven gear 234 are coaxially arranged. The rotation of the material distribution turntables 22 in multiple different unloading spaces 211 is uniformly controlled by the motor, and the operation of material blocking and unloading in different unloading spaces 211 is strictly controlled to be consistent, which simplifies the structure of the equipment and optimizes the working mode of the equipment.

[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7The output end of the motor 231 is also equipped with a third drive gear 237. Multiple stirring rollers 6 are rotatably connected laterally in the feed hopper 1. Each stirring roller 6 is driven by a third driven gear 238. The multiple third driven gears 238 are driven by a second chain 7. The stirring roller 6 in the middle is also driven by a fourth driven gear 239. The fourth driven gear 239 is coaxial with the third driven gear 238 and is driven by a third chain 8 to the third drive gear 237. The stirring rollers 6 play a role in loosening the material. When the motor drives the material distribution plate 22 to block and discharge the material, the third chain 8 can also drive the stirring rollers 6 to rotate and loosen the material to prevent the feed from clogging in the feed hopper.

[0032] In this embodiment, refer to the return Figure 1 The feeding device 3 includes a base box 31 and a feeding box 32. The feeding box 32 slides inside the base box 31 in a drawer-like structure. The base box 31 is provided with multiple second partitions at intervals above the feeding box 32 to divide the base box 31 into multiple feeding guide spaces 311. The multiple feeding guide spaces 311 are arranged one-to-one with the unloading spaces 211. The feeding box 32 is provided with multiple third partitions at intervals to divide the feeding box 32 into multiple feeding spaces 321. The multiple feeding spaces 321 are arranged one-to-one with the feeding guide spaces 311. The feeding space 321 is equipped with a removable cover and a mesh 322. The mesh 322 can buffer the impact of falling feed on the borers and prevent borer larvae from flying away from the feeding space 321 when they grow into adults, making it difficult to collect and transfer them. A vibrator 323 is installed on the mesh 322. The vibration of the vibrator 323 prevents feed from clogging the mesh 322.

[0033] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes an electrical control system, which includes a control box (not shown in the figure). The control box includes a timer for driving the motor at each stage of feeding and discharging, and controlling the rotation of the material distribution plate 22 to achieve material blocking and feeding operations. The motor 231, vibrator 323 and timer mentioned above are all electrically connected to the control box. Their connection relationship and operation are also conventional methods in the market, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Working principle of the invention: The present invention provides an automatic feeding device for sugarcane borer. In specific use, borer larvae are placed in multiple feeding spaces 321 within a feeding box 32 and covered with a mesh 322. Two vertically spaced feeding plates 22 in the unloading space 211 are used to achieve feeding and unloading operations. Before feeding, the two feeding plates 22 are initially vertically positioned, with the upper feeding plate 22 vertically positioned and the lower feeding plate 22 horizontally positioned to limit and catch the feed. During feeding, the two feeding plates 22 are driven by a motor 231 and connected by a first driving gear 232, a power transmission gear 233, and a first driven gear 234. 4. With mutual cooperation, the two feed distribution plates 22 rotate 90° to switch to the feeding position. That is, the upper feed distribution plate 22 is set horizontally to block the feed from falling, and the lower feed distribution plate 22 is set vertically so that the feed in the unloading space 211 automatically falls to the feeding device 3. Afterwards, the two feed distribution plates 22 return to the initial position under the drive of the drive mechanism 23 to complete one stage of dynamic feeding. The present invention has the function of each stage operating in the above cycle, using mechanized feeding to replace manual feeding, improving work efficiency, and the multiple unloading spaces 211 are set with the same volume to ensure that the feed in each area can be evenly distributed, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of borers.

[0035] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present invention should fall within the patent scope covered by the present invention.
