[0049] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0050] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.
[0051] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a black soldier fly larvae farming method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0052] S1. Black soldier fly larvae are added to a rearing tank. The bottom of the rearing tank forms an angle greater than 0° with the horizontal plane. The rearing tank includes multiple rearing zones in sequence along the first direction. An isolation mechanism is provided between adjacent rearing zones to control the connection between adjacent rearing zones. Based on the age of the black soldier fly larvae, the black soldier fly larvae are dispersed into different rearing zones. Along the first direction, the age of the black soldier fly larvae in the multiple rearing zones increases. Feed is added to the rearing zone containing the black soldier fly larvae.
[0053] It is understood that, relative to the horizontal plane, the bottom surface of the aquaculture tank can be considered as a slope, and the first direction can be considered as a direction parallel to the bottom surface, that is, the first direction can be considered as the direction from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope. In this invention, the top and bottom are defined based on the vertical direction. Adjacent aquaculture areas in this invention refer to those adjacent along the first direction.
[0054] In the present embodiment, the culture tank can include multiple culture zones, and the instar of the black soldier fly larvae in each culture zone can differ by one day. For example, the culture tank can include seven culture zones from top to bottom along the first direction, the culture zone at the top of the culture tank can be named as the one-day-old culture zone, the adjacent culture zone can be named as the two-day-old culture zone, and so on, and the culture zone at the bottom of the culture tank can be named as the seven-day-old culture zone. The one-day-old culture zone is placed with the black soldier fly larvae with the smallest age, the two-day-old culture zone is placed with the black soldier fly larvae with the age of the black soldier fly larvae in the one-day-old culture zone plus one day, and so on. For example, if the black soldier fly larvae in the one-day-old culture zone are one-day-old black soldier fly larvae or 0-1 day-old black soldier fly larvae, the black soldier fly larvae in the two-day-old culture zone are two-day-old black soldier fly larvae or 1-2 day-old black soldier fly larvae. That is, the age of the black soldier fly larvae in each culture zone can be a specific age (such as 1 day, 2 days, etc.) or a range of ages (such as 0-1 day, 1-3 days, etc.). The age of the black soldier fly larvae in each culture zone can be customized according to actual breeding needs.
[0055] The isolation mechanism is movable or detachable, and the purpose is to control the connection or isolation of the culture zones. Specifically, the isolation mechanism can be an automatic control mode, that is, controlled by automatic equipment such as an electric valve; or a manual control mode, for example, the isolation mechanism is a partition, and the operator can control the connection or isolation of the culture zones by moving the partition.
[0056] Further, in step S1, the black soldier fly larvae have the same age and are added to the culture zone at the top of the culture tank. In this way, the black soldier fly larvae are conveniently fed.
[0057] In other embodiments, in step S1, the black soldier fly larvae can have different ages, and they are respectively fed into the corresponding culture zones according to the age.
[0058] S2, every day, the adjacent culture zones are connected by the isolation mechanism, the black soldier fly larvae move downward to other culture zones, feed is fed into the culture zone containing the black soldier fly larvae, the isolation mechanism blocks the culture zones, and based on the average moving speed of the black soldier fly larvae along the first direction and the length of the culture zone along the first direction, the connection time of the adjacent two culture zones is determined.
[0059] After the adjacent cultivation zones are connected, the black soldier fly larvae will move downwards to other cultivation zones under the action of their peristaltic movement. In general, in order to facilitate the continuity of cultivation, the connection time of adjacent two cultivation zones can be controlled, so that most of the black soldier fly larvae in one cultivation zone move to the next cultivation zone. After the connection time of adjacent two cultivation zones is reached, the isolation mechanism blocks the adjacent two cultivation zones. The on-off time between each cultivation zone and the adjacent cultivation zone can be the same or different, according to the actual situation.
[0060] Specifically, the connection time of adjacent two cultivation zones can be determined based on the average moving speed of the black soldier fly larvae along the first direction and the length of the cultivation zone along the first direction. The inventors made the following experiment to obtain the average moving speed of the black soldier fly larvae along the first direction. The same age black soldier fly larvae were placed in one cultivation zone in the cultivation tank and fed with feed. After one day, the adjacent cultivation zones were connected by the isolation mechanism. The experiment was repeated several times, and the age of the black soldier fly larvae and the angle of the cultivation tank were changed each time. The data are shown in the following table:
[0061] Table 1: Moving speed data table of black soldier fly larvae
[0062]
[0063] Note: The moving speed in this table is measured with kitchen waste with a water content of 75% as feed. Different water content, different sources and different types of materials will cause large differences in the movement of black soldier fly larvae.
[0064] Among them, the angle of the cultivation tank is the angle between the bottom surface of the cultivation tank and the horizontal plane, and the above moving speed is the average moving speed.
[0065] As can be seen from Table 1, the older the black soldier fly larvae, the faster they move, and the larger the angle between the bottom surface of the cultivation tank and the horizontal plane, the faster the black soldier fly larvae move.
[0066] Since a large number of black soldier fly larvae are put into each breeding area, and there are individual differences among the black soldier fly larvae even if they are of the same age, there are bound to be black soldier fly larvae that move fast and black soldier fly larvae that move slowly among the black soldier fly larvae of the same age. Therefore, the time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas is controlled, and the time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas is only required to enable most of the black soldier fly larvae in the breeding area to move to the next breeding area. Taking seven breeding areas as an example, and only 1-day-old black soldier fly larvae are put into the topmost breeding area on the first day, the black soldier fly larvae collected at the end of the seventh day are theoretically 8-day-old black soldier fly larvae, but as long as the age of the black soldier fly larvae in the bottommost breeding area is 5-10 days, the black soldier fly larvae can be collected.
[0067] Further, in step S2, the time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas is determined as follows:
[0068] The time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas is the ratio of L to V, wherein L is the length of the breeding area located above along the first direction, and V is the average moving speed of the black soldier fly larvae in the breeding area located above along the first direction.
[0069] It can be understood that, in step S2, when the two adjacent breeding areas are connected, since an angle greater than 0° is formed between the bottom surface of the breeding tank and the horizontal plane, when the feed is added to each breeding area, the feed also has a downward moving tendency under the action of the angle. The black soldier fly larvae live in the mixture of the feed and excrement, and therefore, the addition of the feed can also improve the moving efficiency of the black soldier fly larvae.
[0070] It can be understood that the time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas is the ratio of L to V, and it is not required to be very strict. The time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas can be within a certain allowable error time, for example, the ratio of L to V is 2 h, and the time for connecting the two adjacent breeding areas can be 2 h, 1.8 h, 1.9 h, 2.15 h, 2.2 h, etc. as long as the allowable error time is not too large.
[0071] S3, put the corresponding age of black soldier fly larvae and feed into the topmost breeding area of the breeding tank.
[0072] S4, repeat steps S1-S3, and collect the black soldier fly larvae and sand mixture in the bottommost breeding area of the breeding tank.
[0073] The repeated steps S1-S3 can ensure the continuity of the breeding and improve the breeding efficiency.
[0074] It can be understood that the sidewall in the bottommost breeding area in the culture tank can be a movable plate or a controllable valve, and a material collecting mechanism such as a conveyor belt can be arranged below the sidewall. When collecting the black soldier fly and sand mixture in the bottommost breeding area in the culture tank, the sidewall in the bottommost breeding area in the culture tank is opened, and under the action of the self-peristaltic property of the black soldier fly, the black soldier fly with the sand mixture will actively enter the material collecting mechanism. Unlike the prior art, the black soldier fly and sand mixture do not need to be removed from the culture tank by turning over the culture tank or other tools, which facilitates the collection process of the black soldier fly and sand mixture, improves the efficiency, reduces the energy consumption, and realizes a continuous breeding process.
[0075] In a specific implementation process, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the black soldier fly breeding method further comprises:
[0076] S5, based on the quality of the collected black soldier fly and sand mixture in step S4, the angle between the bottom surface of the culture tank and the horizontal plane is determined.
[0077] It can be understood that according to the data in Table 1, the angle between the bottom wall and the horizontal plane can affect the moving speed of the black soldier fly larvae. In order to ensure the continuity of the black soldier fly breeding method of the present application, the angle between the bottom surface of the culture tank and the horizontal plane can be controlled according to the quality of the collected black soldier fly and sand mixture in step S4.
[0078] As shown in Figure 4 , specifically, the method for controlling the angle between the bottom surface of the culture tank and the horizontal plane can include:
[0079] S51, based on the amount of black soldier fly larvae added in steps S1-S3 and the amount of feed added, the expected range threshold of black soldier fly and sand mixture on the Nth day is determined.
[0080] S52, when the actual quality of the collected black soldier fly and sand mixture in step S4 on the Nth day is greater than the expected range threshold of black soldier fly and sand mixture, the angle between the bottom surface of the culture tank and the horizontal plane is reduced.
[0081] S53, when the actual quality of the collected black soldier fly and sand mixture in step S4 on the Nth day is less than the expected range threshold of black soldier fly and sand mixture, the angle between the bottom surface of the culture tank and the horizontal plane is increased.
[0082] S54, when the actual quality of the collected black soldier fly and sand mixture in step S4 on the Nth day is within the expected range threshold of black soldier fly and sand mixture, the angle between the bottom surface of the culture tank and the horizontal plane is unchanged.
[0083] It is understandable that the acceptable range threshold for the black soldier fly and insect sand mixture can be considered as a single value, namely the total weight of the black soldier fly and insect sand mixture; the acceptable range threshold can also include two values, namely the weight of the black soldier fly and the weight of the insect sand mixture.
[0084] For example, a breeding tank may contain seven breeding zones. On the first day, only the topmost breeding zone contains 1 kg of one-day-old black soldier fly larvae and 100 kg of feed (with a moisture content of approximately 75% wt, i.e., a solid content of approximately 25% wt). The same feed is added daily thereafter. After the 7th day, the acceptable range for the black soldier fly and insect-sand mixture collected in step S4 is 40–48 kg (with a moisture content of approximately 40–45% wt). It is understood that the acceptable range can be adjusted appropriately based on the age of the black soldier fly larvae and the specific composition of the material. For example, in the above case, the acceptable range for the black soldier fly and insect-sand mixture collected in step S4 could be adjusted to 41–47 kg (with a moisture content of approximately 41–45% wt), or 39–47 kg (with a moisture content of approximately 39–46% wt), or 42–45 kg (with a moisture content of approximately 43–45% wt), etc.
[0085] In one specific implementation, during steps S1 to S4, no feed is ever added to the bottom breeding area of the breeding tank.
[0086] This setup is designed to allow the black soldier fly larvae in the bottom breeding area of the tank to digest the feed and other substances they consume as much as possible, and also to facilitate the separation and processing of the black soldier fly larvae and the mixture of insects and sand when collecting them.
[0087] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a black soldier fly fry breeding tank 2 frame, applied to the black soldier fly fry breeding method described above.

Or the angle adjusting mechanism 4 can also have other structures as long as it can adjust the vertical height of the one end of the breeding tank 2, so as to adjust the angle of the included angle between the bottom surface in the breeding tank 2 and the horizontal plane.
