Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cicada breeding, and in particular to a cicada egg branch hatching system. Background Art

[0002] The scientific name of the golden cicada is the black grasshopper cicada, which belongs to the family Cicadidae of the order Hemiptera. The black grasshopper cicada is an insect with incomplete metamorphosis, which is divided into three stages: egg, nymph and adult. The growth cycle of the black grasshopper cicada is relatively long, usually 3-5 years. Under natural conditions, the cicada ants of the black grasshopper cicada hatch from the black grasshopper cicada eggs in June and July every year. After hatching, the cicada ants drill into the soil by themselves and grow by sucking the sap of the plant roots. After more than 18 months of growth and development underground, the cicada ants shed their skin three times and become "mature nymphs". "Mature nymphs" usually emerge from the ground after sunset in June-August. "Mature nymphs" are commonly known as "golden cicadas". The golden cicada climbs up the tree trunk to shed its skin, grow wings, and become a "silver cicada". After sunrise, its body turns black, its wings harden, and it flies to a high place, sucking the sap of the plant trunk to grow. The male black grasshopper cicada uses the sound organ on its abdomen to sing to attract female insects to mate. After mating, the female insects with fertilized eggs use ovipositors to pierce the 1-2 year old branches of the plant to lay eggs. After the cicada eggs have been dormant for the winter, they hatch into cicada ants when the temperature rises in the second year and grow in the soil. The molting skin of the "golden cicada" is a precious Chinese medicinal material.

[0003] Among them, the hatching of cicada eggs is one of the key links in cicada breeding. There are two ways to hatch cicada eggs: natural hatching and artificial hatching. Among them, natural hatching means that the cicada eggs on the egg branches begin to hatch when the average temperature is higher than 26°C, and the incubation time is generally 30-45 days. However, due to the influence of weather conditions, the efficiency of natural hatching is low and cannot meet the development needs of large-scale breeding. Artificial cicada egg hatching mainly involves hatching cicada ants from branches containing cicada eggs (referred to as "egg branches") under specific conditions. Artificially controlled hatching can increase the hatching rate of cicada eggs and the vitality of cicada ants.

[0004] The traditional method of artificially controlling the hatching of cicada eggs is to put the egg branches in a plastic net and then place them on a shelf, and place a plastic basin or plastic bag at the bottom of the shelf to hold the cicada ants; manually move the egg branches regularly to make the egg branches and air more evenly contact and improve the hatching rate. This artificial hatching method has problems such as egg branch obstruction, inconvenient movement, and inability to achieve automation. Summary of the invention

Each group of rotating mechanisms 2 is arranged longitudinally and rotates longitudinally. The rotating mechanism 2 includes a frame 21, a driven sprocket 22, a special-shaped chain 23, a transmission shaft 24 and a driving sprocket 25, wherein the frame 21 is arranged on the frame 1; the driven sprocket 22 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the frame 1, and the two driven sprockets 22 are both rotatably connected to the top of the frame 21; the transmission shaft 24 is arranged horizontally and rotatably connected to the frame 21 and is located directly below the driven sprocket 22; there are two driving sprockets 25, which are arranged on both sides of the transmission shaft 24. The two drive sprockets 25 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two driven sprockets 22, and the installation phases of the two driving sprockets 25 are consistent and the tooth profiles are corresponding; there are two special-shaped chains 23, and the two special-shaped chains 23 are parallel to each other and are respectively arranged on the driving sprocket 25 and the driven sprocket 22 on the same side and mesh with the driving sprocket 25 and the driven sprocket 22, and the outer chain plate of the special-shaped chain 23 is enlarged and provided with a hanging hole 26, and the hanging hole 26 can be a rectangular hole, and the hanging hole 26 is used to hang the egg branch clamping frame 4. When in use, the two driving sprockets 25 are driven to run synchronously by the transmission shaft 24, and the driving sprocket 25 drives the two special-shaped chains 23 to rotate synchronously.

[0041] There are a plurality of egg branch clamping frames 4, which are horizontally hung on the rotating mechanism 2 along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 2.

The side of the skeleton 42 is provided with two hanging joints 41 at intervals, and the hanging joint 41 is adapted to the hanging hole 26, and the hanging joint 41 cooperates with the hanging hole 26, and the egg branch clamping frame 4 is hung in the corresponding hanging hole 26 on two special-shaped chains 23 in the rotating mechanism 2, which not only realizes the connection of the egg branch clamping frame 4 with the rotating mechanism 2, but also ensures that the egg branch clamping frame 4 as a whole can be moved and disassembled.

[0042] Ovulate branch 44 is placed in ovulate branch clamping frame 4, and for guaranteeing the ventilation between ovulate branch 44, the distance between each ovulate branch clamping frame 4 is about 38mm.When special-shaped chain 23 rotates, each ovulate branch clamping frame 4 is along with special-shaped chain 23 running, thereby realizes the up and down movement and the overturning of each ovulate branch clamping frame 4, reaches the effect (in the hatching workshop 9, with height increase temperature can become gradient change) of reducing ovulate branch 44 environment differences, to improve hatching efficiency, and substitutes artificial up and down carrying ovulate branch 44, reduces manual input.

[0043] The anti-dropping device 8 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 21. When the egg branch clamping frame 4 is running with the special-shaped chain 23, the anti-dropping device 8 can apply lateral force to the egg branch clamping frame 4 passing by to ensure that the egg branch clamping frame 4 is in close contact with the hanging hole 26 of the special-shaped chain 23, thereby preventing the egg branch clamping frame 4 from accidentally falling off during operation.

[0046] The automatic hatching module 10 for golden cicada eggs is a combination of the automatic hatching units for golden cicada eggs. It is easy to install and fix without drilling holes in the ground. Fig. 9 As shown, one automatic hatching module 10 for cicada eggs may include four automatic hatching units for cicada eggs, with a total of eight rotating mechanisms 2. The columns 11 of adjacent automatic hatching units for cicada eggs in the automatic hatching module 10 are shared and the cross braces 12 are interconnected, and the transmission shafts 24 of adjacent automatic hatching units for cicada eggs in the automatic hatching module 10 are connected through a coupling. The power mechanism 3 is arranged on the outside of the frame 1, and the power mechanism 3 is a motor reduction box combination, and the output end of the power mechanism 3 is connected to the outer ends of two adjacent transmission shafts 24 through a transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly can be a gear chain transmission assembly. The power mechanism 3 drives the transmission shaft 24 to rotate to drive the active sprocket 25 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the up and down movement and flipping of all egg branch clamping frames 4 on the automatic hatching module 10 for cicada eggs.

[0047] Each humidifying device 7 on the automatic incubation module 10 for cicada eggs can be connected together as needed or set, so as to humidify the entire automatic incubation module 10 for cicada eggs. The humidifying devices 7 on each automatic incubation module 10 for cicada eggs in an incubation workshop 9 can be connected to a water source by connecting a humidifying water pipe, and a booster pump is provided on the humidifying water pipe, so as to pump water into the humidifying device 7, so as to achieve humidification and humidity control of the entire incubation workshop 9. The entire incubation workshop 9 can also be divided into several areas, and the humidifying devices 7 in the same area are controlled by a booster pump, so as to humidify the areas.

[0049] The incubation workshop 9 is provided with a ventilation device, which includes an air inlet insulation opening and closing door and an exhaust combination, wherein there are several air inlet insulation opening and closing doors, which are arranged at intervals at the lower part of the east wall of the incubation workshop 9, and the opening of the air inlet insulation opening and closing door is about 0.5x0.5m, and the height from the ground is about 0.5m; the air inlet insulation opening and closing doors are respectively connected to the air inlet electric cylinders, which control the opening and closing of the corresponding air inlet insulation opening and closing doors.

[0050] The exhaust assembly includes a louvered exhaust fan and an exhaust insulation opening and closing door, wherein the number of the exhaust insulation opening and closing doors is equal to the number of the inlet insulation opening and closing doors, and the exhaust insulation opening and closing doors are arranged at intervals on the west wall of the hatching workshop 9 near the top; the exhaust insulation opening and closing doors are also connected to the exhaust electric cylinders, which control the opening and closing of the corresponding exhaust insulation opening and closing doors, and the parameters of the exhaust electric cylinder and the inlet electric cylinder are consistent. The number of louvered exhaust fans is consistent with the number of exhaust insulation opening and closing doors, and the louvered exhaust fans are correspondingly arranged on the wall on one side of each exhaust insulation opening and closing door. When the exhaust insulation opening and closing door is opened, the louvered exhaust fans are opened at the same time for exhaust.

[0051] The incubation workshop 9 is provided with a sensor integrating humidity, temperature and oxygen concentration, or a sensor integrating humidity, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration, for monitoring the humidity, temperature and oxygen (carbon dioxide) concentration in the incubation workshop 9. Specifically, twelve detection points can be arranged, such as Fig.15 As shown, the black dots represent upper and lower point detection, which are close to the ground and the roof respectively; the circled dots represent the midpoint detection, which is located in the middle of the height of the hatching workshop 9.

[0052] The controller 5 can be arranged on the side of the frame 1 together with the power mechanism 3 of a cicada egg automatic hatching module 10, and covered by a protective cover. The controller 5 can be a PLC or a single-chip microcomputer, and the output end of the controller 5 is respectively connected to the controlled ends of the booster pump, heating device and ventilation device connected to each control mechanism 3 and the humidification device 7 in the hatching workshop 9, and the input end of the controller 5 is connected to the output end of each sensor. The controller 5 is used to control each cicada egg automatic hatching module 10 and the environmental indicators in the hatching workshop 9.

[0053] The controller 5 controls the operation, start, stop, and steering functions of the corresponding automatic incubation module 10 for cicada eggs by controlling the power mechanism 3; the controller 5 controls the booster pump connected to the humidifying device 7 through the humidity information monitored by the sensor to control the humidity in the incubation workshop 9; the controller 5 controls the heating device through the temperature information monitored by the sensor to control the temperature in the incubation workshop 9; the controller 5 controls the ventilation device through the humidity, temperature, and oxygen (carbon dioxide) concentration information monitored by the sensor to achieve ventilation of the incubation workshop 9 when the humidity or temperature in the incubation workshop 9 is too high and the oxygen concentration is too high, so as to reduce the temperature and humidity in the incubation workshop 9 or increase the oxygen concentration in the incubation workshop 9.

[0054] The controller 5 is connected with a communication module and a control panel, which is arranged on the shield. The control panel is used to realize human-computer interaction, and can not only display operation monitoring information, but also display operation monitoring information, which at least includes key information such as the operation time, set temperature, and measured temperature, humidity, oxygen (carbon dioxide) concentration, and automatic exhaust program of each automatic incubation module 10 of the cicada egg, and can also set the operation time and sequence and combine the setting of environmental control parameters to realize unattended operation. The controller 5 is connected with a host computer through the communication module, and the host computer is used to store monitoring information and facilitate remote viewing of monitoring information.

[0055] When the present invention is in use, the rotating mechanism 2 and the egg branch clamping frame 4 arranged on the automatic hatching unit of the cicada eggs can drive the egg branch clamping frame 4 to operate automatically when the rotating part 2 rotates, so that the egg branch clamping frame 4 can move up and down and flip, thereby reducing the difference in the environment where the egg branches are located, thereby not only improving the hatching efficiency of the cicada, but also having a high degree of automation, replacing the manual up and down carrying of the egg branches, and reducing the labor input; through the anti-slip device 8, when the egg branch clamping frame 4 runs with the special-shaped chain 23, a lateral force can be applied to the egg branch clamping frame 4 passing by to ensure that the egg branch clamping frame 4 is in close contact with the hanging hole 26 of the special-shaped chain 23, thereby preventing the egg branch clamping frame 4 from accidentally falling off during operation; through the cicada ant collecting device 6, the collection of cicada ants can be achieved.

[0056] When the present invention is used, the automatic incubation units for golden cicada eggs are combined to form an automatic incubation module 10 for golden cicada eggs, so that a set of power mechanism 3 can control multiple groups of automatic incubation units for golden cicada eggs, thereby saving equipment investment and occupied space.

[0057] When the present invention is in use, through the humidifying device 7, ventilation device, heating device, sensor and controller 5, not only can the operation, start and stop, steering and other functions of each cicada egg automatic hatching module 10 be controlled, but also the heating, humidification and ventilation of the hatching workshop 9 can be controlled. By setting the operation time and sequence, and combining the setting of environmental control parameters, unattended operation can be achieved, so that the egg branch 44 is always in the optimal hatching environment, ensuring that the egg branch is ventilated, light-permeable and air-permeable, and the temperature is uniform, reducing the differences in the environment in which the egg branch 44 is located, and promoting the hatching of cicada eggs.

[0058] The specific method of the present invention for hatching cicadas is as follows:

[0059] Step one: Build a standardized incubation workshop.

[0060] Step 2: Arrange the egg branches. The specifications of the egg branches should be controlled at about 4-8mm in diameter and 45cm in length.

[0061] Step 3: Use pesticides and disinfectants to soak the egg branches for sterilization and disinfection before hatching.

[0062] Step 4: Automatically control the heating, humidification and ventilation devices in the hatching workshop, comprehensively control various environmental parameters, realize the automatic operation of the automatic hatching module of the golden cicada eggs and the intelligent adjustment of environmental parameters, and promote the hatching of cicada eggs with the most suitable temperature, humidity and oxygen concentration. In the present invention, during the entire hatching process, the temperature is controlled at 30°C ± 3°C, and the maximum does not exceed 36°C. Too high a temperature will cause the death of cicada eggs, and too low a temperature will prolong the hatching time, resulting in uneven cicada eggs; the relative humidity of the hatching environment is maintained at 70%-80%; natural light irradiation can be selected, and artificial light supplementation is required if the light in the hatching workshop is insufficient. During the hatching process, the uniformity of temperature and humidity in various parts of the hatching room needs to be controlled so that all egg branches are in a suitable temperature and humidity environment.

[0063] Step 5: Collect cicada ants. After the cicada ants fall from the egg branches, transfer them to fine soil or substrate with a moisture content of about 50% as soon as possible to prevent a large number of cicada ants from gathering and causing damage and dehydration.
