[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an insect management and distribution device for breeding, including a barrel body 1, an upper cover 4 clamped on the top of the barrel body 1, and a lower cover 2 clamped on the lower end of the barrel body 1. The lower cover 2 is used to hold the feces of insects. When the feces need to be emptied, the lower cover 2 can be removed through the cooperation of the second clamping block and the second clamping groove. Three partition plates 10 for facilitating the climbing of insects are clamped inside the barrel body 1, so that the food for breeding insects can be distributed more efficiently. At the same time, the insect density per unit volume can be reduced, the speed of bacterial growth can be slowed down, the insect mortality rate can be reduced. The partition plates 10 are set as wavy partition plates. A notch 101 is opened in the middle of the lower end of the partition plate 10, providing enough space for the breeding insects to be easily poured out. A plurality of through holes 16 for facilitating the falling of insect feces are opened at the bottom of the barrel body 1, and the insect feces fall on the lower cover 2. An insertion port 13 is opened at the lower end of the outer wall of the barrel body 1. A flap door 12 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the inner wall of the barrel body 1, and a food trough drawer 9 can be loaded. The flap door 12 is aligned with the insertion port 13. A food trough drawer 9 is slidably inserted into the insertion port 13. The food trough drawer 9 includes two solid material areas 93 and a liquid material area 94. Among them, calcium powder and other supplements for reptile breeding and solid food such as breadcrumbs are placed in the two solid material areas 93 respectively, and liquid food including water is placed in a liquid material area 94. A sponge is placed inside the liquid material area 94.

[0027] Three groups of clamping plates 11 are installed on the inner wall of the barrel body 1. Two clamping plates 11 are symmetrically arranged in each group, and the partition plates 10 are clamped between the two symmetrically arranged clamping plates 11, which is convenient for installing the partition plates 10.

[0028] A plurality of strip-shaped through holes are opened on the partition plates 10, which is convenient for insects to climb. The lengths of the three groups of partition plates 10 decrease in sequence from inside to outside.

[0029] Inside the feeding trough drawer 9, a first partition 91 and a second partition 92 are respectively fixed. The first partition 91 and the second partition 92 are vertically arranged. The first partition 91 divides the feeding trough drawer 9 into a solid material area 93 and a liquid material area 94. The second partition 92 divides the solid material area 93 into two small solid material areas 93. The solid material area 93 is set to be square, and the liquid material area 94 is set to be semi-circular.

[0030] Near the insertion port 13 on the inner wall of the barrel body 1, a set of fixed seats 14 and two sets of second magnets 15 are respectively installed. The hinge door 12 is rotatably installed on the fixed seats 14, and the edge of the hinge door 12 is adsorbed on the second magnets 15. When the feeding trough drawer 9 is taken out, during this process, the hinge door 12 and the second magnets 15 on the inner wall of the barrel body cooperate, and the hinge door 12 automatically closes through the magnetic attraction principle.

[0031] At the bottom of the feeding trough drawer 9, a set of first magnets 96 and two sets of limit seats 95 are respectively fixed. Two sets of limit strips 17 are installed at the inner bottom of the barrel body 1. The limit strips 17 are slidably installed inside the limit seats 95. An iron block is installed at the bottom of the barrel body 1, and the first magnets 96 are adsorbed on the iron block.

[0032] Ventilation openings 5 are provided on the upper cover 4. The ventilation openings 5 are set as ventilation openings in the shape of leaves to maintain good ventilation inside the barrel body 1. A convex block 6 for conveniently turning the upper cover 4 is fixed at the center position of the upper cover 4. The outer wall of the convex block 6 is connected with multiple groups of convex strips arranged in an annular array, which is convenient for turning the upper cover 4, that is, for opening the upper cover 4.

[0033] An opening 7 is provided on the side wall of the upper cover 4, and a silica gel plug 8 is inserted inside the opening 7 to prevent insects such as crickets from escaping.

[0034] The upper end of the outer wall of the barrel body 1 is connected with a handle 3, and the handle 3 is located above the feeding trough drawer 9.

[0035] A first clamping block is connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the upper cover 4, and a first clamping groove is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the barrel body 1. The first clamping block is clamped inside the first clamping groove. A second clamping block is connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the barrel body 1, and a second clamping groove is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the lower cover 2. The second clamping block is clamped inside the second clamping groove, which is convenient for installing the upper cover 4 and the lower cover 2.

[0036] When using this device, put the insects to be raised into the barrel body 1, snap on the upper cover 4 and the lower cover 2, and use the silica gel plug 8 to block the opening 7 to prevent insects such as crickets from escaping. Then take out the feeding trough drawer 9. During this process, the hinge door 12 and the second magnet 15 on the inner wall of the barrel body cooperate, and the hinge door 12 automatically closes through the magnetic attraction principle. Then place the reptile feeding supplements such as calcium powder and solid food such as breadcrumbs in the two solid material areas 93 respectively, place the liquid food including water in the liquid material area 94, and a sponge is placed inside the liquid material area 94. After placing the feed, put the feeding trough drawer 9 into the barrel body 1 through the insertion interface 13. During the process of inserting into the barrel body 1, the feeding trough drawer 9 pushes the hinge door 12, and the hinge door 12 automatically opens;

[0037] During the feeding process, the insects climb on the multiple partition plates 10, which can make the food for raising insects be distributed more efficiently. At the same time, it can reduce the insect density per unit volume, slow down the speed of bacterial growth, and reduce the insect mortality rate. The setting of the notch 101 on the partition plate 10 leaves enough space for the insects for feeding to be easily poured out; and the feces discharged by the insects during the feeding process will fall on the lower cover 2 through the through hole 16 at the bottom of the barrel body 1. When it is necessary to pour out the feces, the lower cover 2 can be removed through the cooperation of the second clamping block and the second clamping groove.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
