Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological waste treatment technology, and in particular relates to an automated biological waste aquaculture system. Background Technology

[0002] Black soldier fly larvae are saprophytic, feeding on a wide range of sources including decaying plants, kitchen waste, animal carcasses, and excrement, making them an important part of the natural world. Utilizing black soldier fly larvae to process kitchen waste and livestock manure yields adult larvae rich in high-quality insect protein and nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. However, current black soldier fly farming primarily employs three methods: pond rearing, box rearing, and barrel rearing. Larger-scale farming mainly uses surface pond rearing. Experience has revealed significant limitations to this method: large land area requirements, low efficiency, and high labor costs, hindering large-scale, industrialized promotion and widespread adoption.

[0005] In this embodiment of the invention, there are two loading and unloading mechanisms. Each loading and unloading mechanism includes a push-pull frame, a push-pull drive component, and a push-pull head assembly. The push-pull frame is mounted on the lifting frame mechanism and located above the first box-moving mechanism. The push-pull frame has a push-pull groove. The connecting end of the push-pull drive component is hinged to the push-pull frame. The telescopic end of the push-pull drive component faces the material rack equipment and is connected to the push-pull head assembly through a guide pin that is movably inserted in the push-pull groove. The push-pull groove is arranged with a front-high and rear-low orientation in the direction from the connecting end to the telescopic end. The push-pull head assemblies of the two loading and unloading mechanisms have opposite front and rear orientations in the force application direction and can be deflected.

[0006] In this embodiment of the invention, the push-pull groove includes a retraction stop groove section, an inclined line-changing groove section, and an extension push-pull groove section connected sequentially in the direction from the self-connecting end toward the telescopic end. The retraction stop groove section and the extension push-pull groove section both extend in the horizontal direction, and the extension push-pull groove section is set lower than the retraction stop groove section, while the inclined line-changing groove section is inclined.

[0007] In this embodiment of the invention, the push-pull head assembly includes a push-pull mounting base, a mounting pin, a push-pull plate, and a stop plate. The push-pull mounting base is connected to the telescopic end via a guide pin. The end of the push-pull mounting base away from the telescopic end is provided with a mounting pin.

The driven sprocket assembly includes a central sprocket assembly, and there are three central sprocket assemblies. One central sprocket assembly is located at the top of the fixed frame, and the remaining two central sprocket assemblies are located at the bottom of the fixed frame. The central drive sprocket and the central driven sprockets of the three central sprocket assemblies are located at the four corners of the same longitudinal section of the fixed frame. The central chain of the drive chain is sequentially wound around the central drive sprocket and the central driven sprockets of the three central sprocket assemblies.

[0011] In this embodiment of the invention, the unloading device includes an unloading mounting frame and a flipping mechanism and a second box-moving mechanism disposed on the unloading mounting frame. The second box-moving mechanism is used to dock with the first box-moving mechanism, and both the first box-moving mechanism and the second box-moving mechanism are configured to be horizontally transportable. The flipping mechanism is used to flip the breeding box on the second box-moving mechanism toward the side away from the first box-moving mechanism.

[0012] In this embodiment of the invention, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping frame and a flipping drive member disposed on the unloading mounting frame. The flipping frame includes an end stop and two clamping plates. The two clamping plates are disposed at opposite intervals at both ends of the end stop and extend above the second box-moving mechanism along the transmission direction of the second box-moving mechanism. Both clamping plates form a slot space for the flipping docking part of the breeding box to move in and out. The end stop is flipped and hinged to the end of the unloading mounting frame away from the first box-moving mechanism and is drivenly connected to the flipping drive member.

[0013] In this embodiment of the invention, the unloading mounting frame is further provided with a first guide wheel, which is located above the second box-moving mechanism and between the first box-moving mechanism and the mounting plate;

[0014] And / or, the unloading mounting frame is also equipped with a box-moving position sensor, which is used to detect whether the breeding box has completely entered the slot space and / or completely moved out of the second box-moving mechanism;

[0015] And / or, the unloading mounting frame is also equipped with a tilting position sensor, which is used to detect whether the tilting frame has been tilted into position.

[0016] In this embodiment of the invention, the unloading device further includes at least two weighing sensors, which are used to support the unloading mounting frame at intervals.

[0017] In this embodiment of the invention, the conveying frame device includes a first transverse moving base, a second transverse moving base, and two longitudinal moving bases. The two longitudinal moving bases are arranged in parallel. The first transverse moving base is located at the end of the longitudinal moving base that is close to the fixed frame, and the second transverse moving base is located at the end of the longitudinal moving base that is away from the fixed frame. The first transverse moving base, the second transverse moving base, and the two longitudinal moving bases are combined to form a rotatable conveying setup. One of the longitudinal moving bases is positioned directly opposite the lifting frame mechanism, and the conveying direction is set to convey towards the lifting frame mechanism.

[0018] In this embodiment of the invention, both longitudinally movable base frames include a longitudinal frame body and a longitudinal pulling mechanism. The longitudinal pulling mechanism is located at the end of the longitudinal frame body and is used to pull the breeding rack device on the transversely movable base frame into the longitudinal frame body.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal pulling mechanism includes a longitudinal pulling seat, a longitudinal driving member, a hook seat, and a hook body. The longitudinal pulling seat is disposed on the longitudinal frame and has a longitudinal pulling groove. One end of the longitudinal driving member is connected to the longitudinal pulling seat, and the other end is connected to the hook seat through a longitudinal pulling pin. The longitudinal pulling pin is movably inserted into the longitudinal pulling groove. The hook body is movably hinged to the hook seat and extends upward.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, both the first and second transverse moving base frames include a transverse frame, a transverse trolley, and a transverse driving component. The transverse trolley can be moved laterally on the transverse frame and is used to support the breeding rack device. One end of the transverse driving component is connected to the transverse frame, and the other end is driven by the transverse trolley.

[0021] Through the above technical solutions, the automated biological waste aquaculture system provided by the embodiments of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] When using the aforementioned automated biological waste farming system for black soldier fly farming, the conveyor belt device can first be controlled to transport one of the farming racks to a position close to the transfer equipment. Then, the lifting mechanism of the transfer equipment is controlled to move up and down on the fixed frame until it aligns with one of the placement box spaces on the farming rack. This allows the loading and unloading mechanism to transfer the farming boxes from the current placement box space to the first transfer mechanism. After the farming boxes are transferred to the first transfer mechanism, the lifting mechanism is then controlled to move up and down on the fixed frame until it aligns with the unloading equipment, allowing the first transfer mechanism to... The rearing boxes are transferred to an unloading device, which flips the boxes to unload the material. After unloading, the device flips back to its original position, allowing for manual or automatic feeding and larval introduction into the empty boxes. After feeding, the boxes are transferred to a first transfer mechanism via the unloading device. A lifting mechanism then moves from its fixed position to align with the previous box-laying space, enabling the loading and unloading mechanism to transfer the boxes from the first transfer mechanism into the box-laying space. This achieves automatic loading and unloading of materials from the rearing boxes. Furthermore, after loading and unloading all materials from the rearing boxes on one rearing rack, a conveyor system can be controlled to rotate and transport materials to the next rearing rack, allowing for continuous automatic loading and unloading of materials from all rearing racks. Compared to existing rearing methods, this significantly reduces floor space, increases rearing efficiency, and lowers labor costs, facilitating the large-scale, industrialized promotion and popularization of black soldier fly larvae.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0057] The automated biological waste aquaculture system of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an automated biological waste aquaculture system, wherein the automated biological waste aquaculture system includes:

[0059] The feed rack equipment 100 includes a conveyor rack device 110 and a plurality of breeding rack devices 120 arranged on the conveyor rack device 110 in a rotatable manner, and the plurality of breeding rack devices 120 are all arranged in a vertical direction with a plurality of box placement spaces for placing breeding boxes.

[0060] The unloading equipment 300 carries and drives the breeding boxes to tilt and unload the materials.

[0061] The transfer device 200 includes a fixed frame 210, a lifting frame mechanism 220, a first box-moving mechanism 230, and an loading and unloading mechanism 240. The fixed frame 210 is located between the conveyor frame device 110 and the unloading device 300. The lifting frame mechanism 220 is vertically mounted on the fixed frame 210 and is used to support the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the loading and unloading mechanism 240. The loading and unloading mechanism 240 is used to transfer the breeding boxes between the box-positioning space and the first box-moving mechanism 230. The first box-moving mechanism 230 is used to transfer the breeding boxes between the unloading device 300 and the unloading device 300.

[0062] When black soldier fly farming uses the aforementioned automated biological waste farming system, the conveyor device 110 can first be controlled to transport one of the farming rack devices 120 to a position close to the transfer device 200. Then, the lifting mechanism 220 of the transfer device 200 can be controlled to move up and down on the fixed frame 210 until it aligns with one of the placement box spaces on the farming rack device 120. This allows the loading / unloading mechanism 240 to transfer the farming boxes in the current placement box space to the first transfer mechanism 230. After the farming boxes are transferred to the first transfer mechanism 230, the lifting mechanism 220 is then controlled to move up and down on the fixed frame 210 until it aligns with the unloading device 300, allowing the first transfer mechanism 240 to transfer the farming boxes from the current placement box space to the first transfer mechanism 230. The box mechanism 230 can transfer the breeding box to the unloading device 300. The unloading device 300 can drive the breeding box to flip and unload. After unloading, the unloading device 300 flips and resets, so that feeding and larvae can be added to the empty breeding box manually or automatically. After feeding, the breeding box can be transferred to the first box transfer mechanism 230 through the unloading device 300. Then, the lifting frame mechanism 220 is controlled to move up and down on the fixed position to connect with the previous box placement space, so that the loading and unloading mechanism 240 can transfer the breeding box on the first box transfer mechanism 230 into the box placement space, thereby realizing the automatic loading and unloading of materials in the breeding box. Furthermore, after loading and unloading all the materials in the breeding boxes on a breeding rack device 120 layer by layer, the conveyor device 110 can be controlled to rotate and transfer the materials so that the next breeding rack device 120 can continue to transfer the materials to a position close to the transfer device 200. This process can be repeated continuously to automatically load and unload the materials in the breeding boxes on all breeding rack devices 120. Compared with the existing breeding mode, this significantly reduces the floor space required, improves breeding efficiency, and reduces labor costs, which is conducive to the large-scale, industrialized promotion and popularization of black soldier fly larvae.

[0063] Specifically, a discharge hopper 400 is provided below the flipping position of the unloading device 300 to facilitate the collection of adult black soldier fly larvae. Meanwhile, the discharge of black soldier fly larvae and biological waste can occur after the unloading device 300 is flipped and reset, and can be done manually or by automated equipment.

[0064] See Figures 1 to 6In this embodiment of the invention, there can be two loading and unloading mechanisms 240. Each loading and unloading mechanism 240 includes a push-pull frame 241, a push-pull drive component 242, and a push-pull head assembly 243. The push-pull frame 241 is mounted on the lifting frame mechanism 220 and located above the first box-moving mechanism 230. The push-pull frame 241 has a push-pull groove 244. The connecting end of the push-pull drive component 242 is hinged to the push-pull frame 241. The telescopic end of the push-pull drive component 242 is set towards the material rack device 100 and is connected to the push-pull head assembly 243 through a guide pin 245 that is movably inserted in the push-pull groove 244. The push-pull groove 244 is arranged with a front higher and a rear lower orientation in the direction from the connecting end to the telescopic end. The force-applying surfaces of the push-pull head assembly 243 of the loading and unloading mechanism 240 and the force-applying surfaces of the push-pull head assembly 243 of the two loading and unloading mechanisms 240 are opposite in direction and can be deflected so as to pull and push the breeding box respectively. That is, when it is necessary to transfer the breeding boxes in the placement space to the first box-moving mechanism 230, the upward and downward mechanism 240 with the force-applying surface of the push-pull head assembly 243 facing forward can be controlled to pull the breeding boxes from the placement space to the first box-moving mechanism 230; when it is necessary to transfer the breeding boxes on the first box-moving mechanism 230 to the placement space, the upward and downward mechanism 240 with the force-applying surface of the push-pull head assembly 243 facing backward can be controlled to push the breeding boxes from the first box-moving mechanism 230 to the placement space. It should be noted that when the push-pull groove 244 is arranged from the connecting end to the telescopic end, the end closer to the connecting end is defined as the front, and the end farther from the connecting end is defined as the rear.

[0065] Specifically, the opening of the push-pull groove 244 facilitates the guiding of the push-pull head assembly 243's push-pull movement. It should be noted that when the push-pull head assembly 243 of the pulling mechanism 240 pulls the breeding box towards the starting position of the first box-moving mechanism 230, it should be at the limit position of the extension end of the push-pull drive member 242 extending within the push-pull groove 244, and the push-pull drive member 242 retracts during the pulling process. Similarly, when the push-pull head assembly 243 of the pushing mechanism 240 pushes the breeding box towards the starting position of the box-settling space, it should be at the limit position of the extension end extending within the push-pull groove 244, and the push-pull drive member 242 retracts during the pushing process. The telescopic end of component 242 is at its retracted limit position within the push-pull groove 244, and the push-pull drive component 242 extends during the pushing process. The push-pull groove 244 is arranged with a higher front and lower back in the direction from the connecting end towards the telescopic end. This allows the push-pull head assembly 243 of the pulling mechanism 240 to disengage from the breeding box after being pulled into position, and ensures that neither of the push-pull head assemblies 243 of the two mechanisms 240 interferes with the breeding box when it is transferred from the unloading device 300 to the first transfer mechanism 230. Simultaneously, the force-applying surface of the push-pull head assembly 243 of the pulling mechanism 240 faces away from the material rack device 100 and abuts against the inner side of the breeding box near the unloading device 300 to pull the breeding box; the force-applying surface of the push-pull head assembly 243 of the pushing mechanism 240 faces towards the material rack device 100 and abuts against the outer side of the breeding box near the unloading device 300 to push the breeding box. Furthermore, the force-applying surface on the push-pull head assembly 243 can be deflected, so that before pulling or pushing the breeding box, the force-applying surface on the push-pull head assembly 243 can deflect to avoid the side plate of the breeding box and enter the breeding box or move unimpeded to the other side of the breeding box. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The loading and unloading mechanism 240 can also be configured as a lateral gripper mechanism that can move horizontally and vertically, so as to transfer the breeding box between the box placement space and the first box transfer mechanism 230.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the push-pull frame 241 includes a push-pull connecting plate 246 and two push-pull mounting plates 247. The two push-pull mounting plates 247 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and both extend along the material rack equipment 100 toward the unloading equipment 300. The push-pull connecting plate 246 connects the two push-pull mounting plates 247, and both push-pull mounting plates 247 are provided with push-pull grooves 244. The push-pull driving component 242 is placed between the two push-pull mounting plates 247, and the connecting end of the push-pull driving component 242 is hinged to the two push-pull mounting plates 247 through a connecting pin 248. The telescopic end of the push-pull driving component 242 is set toward the material rack equipment 100, and is connected to the push-pull head assembly 243 through a guide pin 245 that is movably inserted in the push-pull grooves 244 of the two push-pull mounting plates 247. Furthermore, each of the two push-pull mounting plates 247 has a first mounting slot at its upper end. The two ends of the connecting pin 248 on the connecting end of the push-pull drive component 242 extend from the first mounting slots on the two push-pull mounting plates 247 respectively. Each push-pull mounting plate 247 is provided with a pin retaining plate 249 for engaging the connecting pin 248 within the first mounting slot. The pin retaining plate 249 is detachably attached to the push-pull mounting plate 247, and its lower end has a second mounting slot that surrounds the upper side of the connecting pin 248. That is, the first mounting slot and the second mounting slot cooperate to form a passage space for the connecting pin 248. The addition of the first mounting slot and the pin retaining plate 249 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the connecting end of the push-pull drive component 242. In addition, the push-pull drive component 242 can be configured as a telescopic cylinder, with the connecting end being the cylinder body and the telescopic end being the piston rod.

[0067] See Figure 5In this embodiment of the invention, the push-pull groove 244 includes a retraction stop groove section 2441, an inclined line-changing groove section 2442, and an extension push-pull groove section 2443 connected sequentially in the direction from the connecting end toward the telescopic end. The retraction stop groove section 2441 and the extension push-pull groove section 2443 are both extended in the horizontal direction, and the extension push-pull groove section 2443 is set lower than the retraction stop groove section 2441. The inclined line-changing groove section 2442 is inclined. The push-pull groove 244 is approximately "Z" shaped, and the horizontal length of the retractable stop groove section 2441 is much smaller than the horizontal length of the extended push-pull groove section 2443. When the breeding box needs to be pushed or pulled, the push-pull drive component 242 can drive the push-pull head assembly 243 to translate on the extended push-pull groove section 2443 to ensure the stability of the push-pull movement. After the push-pull is finished, the push-pull drive component 242 can drive the push-pull head assembly 243 to retract from the inclined changing groove section 2442 of the push-pull groove 2444 back to the retractable stop groove section 2441. Since the inclined changing groove section 2442 is inclined from the connecting end to the telescopic end with a higher front and lower back, With the retractable stop groove section 2441 positioned higher than the extended push-pull groove section 2443, the push-pull head assembly 243 of the lifting and lowering mechanism 240 gradually detaches from the breeding box after reaching the inclined changing groove section 2442, and finally detaches from the breeding box after reaching the retractable stop groove section 2441. Furthermore, when the breeding box is transferred from the self-unloading device 300 to the first transferring mechanism 230, the push-pull head assemblies 243 of both lifting and lowering mechanisms 240 retract to the retractable stop groove section 2441, ensuring a distance between the lower end of the push-pull head assembly 243 and the breeding box during the transfer process, thus preventing interference with the transfer of the breeding box. Of course, the invention is not limited to this; the entire push-pull groove 244 can also be configured as an inclined groove section with a smaller slope.

[0068] See Figure 4 and Figure 6In this embodiment of the invention, the push-pull head assembly 243 includes a push-pull mounting base 2431, a mounting pin 2432, a push-pull plate 2433, and a stop plate 2434. The push-pull mounting base 2431 is connected to the telescopic end via a guide pin 245. The end of the push-pull mounting base 2431 away from the telescopic end is provided with the mounting pin 2432. The push-pull plate 2433 is rotatably mounted on the mounting pin 2432 and extends downward. The force-applying surfaces of the push-pull plates 2433 of the two up-and-down mechanisms 240 are arranged in opposite directions. The push-pull mounting base 2431 has a stop plate 2434 on the outside of the push-pull plate 2433 with the force-applying surface facing the connecting end. With the force-applying surface facing the connecting end, the push-pull plate 2433 can apply an inward pulling force to the breeding box, and the stop plate 2434 on the outside of the push-pull plate 2433... Plate 2434 can prevent the push-pull plate 2433 from rotating outward, thus ensuring the stability of the pulling force applied to the breeding box. Of course, this push-pull plate 2433 can rotate inward. When the push-pull drive component 242 extends towards the breeding box within the box space, the push-pull plate 2433 can rotate inward to avoid the obstruction of the side panel of the breeding box and enter the breeding box. The push-pull mounting base 2431 has a stop plate 2434 on the inner side of the push-pull plate 2433, with the force-applying surface facing away from the connecting end. With the force-applying surface facing away from the connecting end, the push-pull plate 2433 can apply an outward pushing force to the breeding box, and the stop plate 2434 on the inner side of the push-pull plate 2433 can prevent the push-pull plate 2433 from rotating inward, thus ensuring the stability of the pushing force applied to the breeding box. Of course, this push-pull plate 2433 can rotate outward. However, the invention is not limited to this; the push-pull plate forming the force-applying surface can also be configured to deflect forward and backward using a motor or other suitable drive component.

[0069] Specifically, the push-pull plate 2433 includes a rotating head 2435, a mounting bearing 2436, and a plate body 2437. The rotating head 2435 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the mounting pin 2432 via the mounting bearing 2436. The plate body 2437 is connected to the rotating head 2435 and extends downward. The force-applying surface of the plate body 2437 of the pulling mechanism 240 faces the connecting end, while the force-applying surface of the plate body 2437 of the pushing mechanism 240 faces away from the connecting end. In addition, the push-pull mounting base 2431 includes a base connecting plate and two base mounting plates. The two base mounting plates are respectively located on opposite sides of the telescopic end of the push-pull drive member 242 and are connected in series by a guide pin 245. The base connecting plate connects the two base mounting plates. The two ends of the mounting pin 2432 are respectively inserted into the ends of the two base mounting plates away from the telescopic end of the push-pull drive member 242, and a stop ring is provided at the end of the mounting pin 2432 that extends out of the base mounting plate.

[0070] like Figure 2 as well as Figures 7 to 12As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the lifting frame mechanism 220 includes a lifting frame body 221 and a sprocket drive assembly 222. The lifting frame body 221 is vertically mounted on the fixed frame 210 and carries the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the loading / unloading mechanism 240. The sprocket drive assembly 222 includes a rotary drive member 223, a drive wheel axle assembly 224, a driven wheel axle assembly 225, and a drive chain 226. The rotary drive member 223 is drivenly connected to the drive wheel axle assembly 224 and is located at the top of the fixed frame 210. The driven wheel axle assembly 225 is located at the bottom of the fixed frame 210. The upper end of the drive chain 226 passes around the drive wheel axle assembly 224 and connects to the upper end of the lifting frame body 221. The lower end of the drive chain 226 passes around the driven wheel axle assembly 225 and connects to the lower end of the lifting frame body 221. That is, by controlling the rotation drive component 223, the sprocket drive assembly 222 can be driven to lift the lifting frame body 221 on the fixed frame 210. Selecting the sprocket drive assembly 222 as the lifting drive can significantly improve the stability of the drive and facilitate disassembly, maintenance and replacement.

[0071] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the drive wheel axle assembly 224 includes a drive sprocket shaft 2241 located at the top of the fixed frame 210 and drivenly connected to the rotary drive member 223, and an end drive sprocket 2242 located on the drive sprocket shaft 2241. The driven wheel axle assembly 225 includes an end wheel axle assembly 2251 located at the bottom of the fixed frame 210. The drive sprocket shaft 2241 and the end sprocket shafts of the end wheel axle assembly 2251 are located on the same side of the lifting frame body 221, and the end driven sprocket of the end wheel axle assembly 2251 is located directly below the end drive sprocket 2242. The end chain 2261 in the drive chain 226 is sequentially wound around the end drive sprocket 2242 and the end driven sprocket. That is, the end chain 2261 in the drive chain 226 can lift one side of the lifting frame body 221 to realize the lifting and lowering of the lifting frame body 221 on the fixed frame 210. Of course, in order to ensure the stability of lifting, a corresponding structure can also be set on the other side of the lifting frame body 221.

[0072] like Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the drive sprocket assembly 224 includes a drive sprocket shaft 2241 located at the top of the fixed frame 210 and drivenly connected to the rotary drive member 223, and a central drive sprocket 2243 located on the drive sprocket shaft 2241. The driven sprocket assembly 225 includes three central sprocket assemblies 2252, one of which is located at the top of the fixed frame 210, and the remaining two are located at the bottom of the fixed frame 210. The central drive sprocket 2243 and the central driven sprockets of the three central sprocket assemblies 2252 are located at the four corners of the same longitudinal section of the fixed frame 210. The central chain 2262 of the drive chain 226 is sequentially wound around the central drive sprocket 2243 and the central driven sprockets of the three central sprocket assemblies 2252. The central chain 2262 in the drive chain 226 can lift the lifting frame body 221 as a whole, ensuring the stability of the lifting frame body 221 during lifting.

[0073] Specifically, the drive sprocket shaft 2241 may be equipped with a central drive sprocket 2243 and two end drive sprockets 2242, with the central drive sprocket 2243 located between the two end drive sprockets 2242. The bottom end of the fixed frame 210 is equipped with two end axle assemblies 2251 and two central axle assemblies 2252, and the drive sprocket shaft 2241 and the end sprocket shafts of the two end axle assemblies 2251 are arranged on the same side of the lifting frame body 221. The end driven sprockets of the two end axle assemblies 2251 are correspondingly arranged on the... Directly below the two end drive sprockets 2242, there are two end chains 2261 in the drive chain 226. The two end chains 2261 are wound around the corresponding end drive sprockets 2242 and end driven sprockets. One middle axle assembly 2252 is located between the two end axle assemblies 2251, and the middle driven sprocket on the middle axle assembly 2252 is located directly below the middle drive sprocket 2243. The remaining two middle axle assemblies 2252 are arranged accordingly, which will not be described in detail here. Thus, there are three drive chains 226 in total, forming a three-point suspension of the lifting frame body 221.

[0074] More specifically, the rotary drive 223 can be a rotary motor, directly connected to the drive sprocket shaft 2241, and connected to the central drive sprocket 2243 and the two end drive sprockets 2242 respectively via a key structure to transmit torque. Furthermore, as... Figure 10 As shown, the drive sprocket shaft 2241, the end sprocket shafts of the end axle assembly 2251, and the middle sprocket shaft of the middle axle assembly 2252 can all be mounted on the fixed frame 210 via bearing seats; as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the upper ends of the end chain 2261 and the middle chain 2262 in the drive chain 226 are both connected to a first connecting rod 227 with an external thread, and the lower ends of the end chain 2261 and the middle chain 2262 are both connected to a second connecting rod 228 with an external thread. The upper end of the chain passes around the corresponding drive sprocket and the first connecting rod 227 passes through the upper end of the lifting frame body 221. The first nut 2271 is sleeved on the end of the first connecting rod 227 that passes through the lifting frame body 221 and is threaded. The lower end of the chain passes around the corresponding driven sprocket and the second connecting rod 228 passes through the lower end of the lifting frame body 221. The second nut 2281 is sleeved on the end of the second connecting rod 228 that passes through the lifting frame body 221 and is threaded. That is, by turning the first nut 2271 and the second nut 2281, the tension of the chain can be adjusted.

[0075] Furthermore, please see again Figure 7 The lifting frame body 221 is equipped with lifting guide rollers 229, which can move up and down on the column 124 of the fixed frame 210. The rollers with protruding edges are nested on the column 124 of the fixed frame 210 to prevent the lifting frame body 221 from shaking and tipping over. Figure 12 As shown, the lifting guide roller 229 includes a lifting roller seat 2291, a roller mounting shaft 2292, a bearing component 2293, and a lifting roller body 2294. The lifting roller seat 2291 is mounted on the lifting frame body 221, the roller mounting shaft 2292 is mounted on the lifting roller seat 2291, and the lifting roller body 2294 is rotatably mounted on the roller mounting shaft 2292 via the bearing component 2293. Both ends of the lifting roller body 2294 are detachably provided with end caps 2295 via threaded components. The lifting roller body 2294 includes a sleeve part and two protruding edges. The sleeve part is sleeved on the outside of the roller bearing, and the two protruding edges extend out from both ends of the sleeve part in a corresponding manner, so that the column 124 of the fixing frame 210 can be placed in the space between the two protruding edges.

[0076] See Figure 2 and Figure 13In this embodiment of the invention, the transfer device 200 further includes a counterweight mechanism 250. The counterweight mechanism 250 includes a counterweight mounting assembly 251, a fixed pulley 252, and a counterweight block 253. The fixed pulley 252 is located at the upper end of the fixed frame 210. The counterweight mounting assembly 251 is wound around the fixed pulley 252, with one end connected to the lifting frame body 221 and the other end connected to the counterweight block 253. This allows the weight of the counterweight block 253 to balance the weight of the lifting frame mechanism 220, effectively reducing the chain load and lowering the lifting power. Specifically, the counterweight mounting assembly 251 includes a wire rope 254 and a first pull rod 255 and a second pull rod 256 located at both ends of the wire rope 254. The wire rope 254 is connected to the lifting frame body 221 through the first pull rod 255, and the second pull rod 256 is used to install the counterweight block 253. In addition, there are two counterweight mechanisms 250, which are located on opposite sides of the lifting frame body 221.

[0077] See Figure 11 In this embodiment of the invention, the lifting frame body 221 forms a box-moving passage for the breeding boxes to pass through, and includes a bottom frame 2211, a top frame 2212 and two side frames 2213. The two side frames 2213 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the bottom frame 2211 and located on both sides of the box-moving passage. The top frame 2212 is disposed on the upper end of the two side frames 2213. The bottom frame 2211 is used to install the first box-moving mechanism 230 and is connected to the lower end of the drive chain 226. The top frame 2212 is used to install two up and down mechanisms 240. The side frames 2213 can be connected to the first pull rod 255 of the counterweight pulling assembly 251, and the side frames 2213 can also be provided with lifting guide rollers 229 and second guide wheels 2215. Specifically, guide wheel mounting plates 2214 can be extended from the outer side of the side frame 2213 on both the side facing the feed rack device 100 and the side facing the unloading device 300. The guide wheel mounting plates 2214 extend along the transfer direction of the breeding box. The second guide wheel 2215 is provided on the guide wheel mounting plates 2214 to guide and assist the transfer of the breeding box.

[0078] like Figure 1 and Figure 14As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the unloading device 300 includes an unloading mounting frame 310 and a flipping mechanism 320 and a second box-moving mechanism 330 disposed on the unloading mounting frame 310. The second box-moving mechanism 330 is used to dock with the first box-moving mechanism 230, and both the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the second box-moving mechanism 330 are configured for horizontal transmission. The flipping mechanism 320 is used to flip the breeding boxes on the second box-moving mechanism 330 toward the side away from the first box-moving mechanism 230. That is, by controlling the horizontal transmission of the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the second box-moving mechanism 330, the breeding boxes can be transferred and switched between the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the second box-moving mechanism 330. The horizontally configured first box-moving mechanism 230 and the second box-moving mechanism 330 can both support the breeding boxes and perform transmission functions. Compared with other transfer mechanisms, this obviously makes the spatial layout of the equipment more reasonable and compact.

[0079] Specifically, see Figure 18 Both the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the second box-moving mechanism 330 can be configured as chain-type horizontal transmission mechanisms, and both include a box-moving drive component 331, a box-moving drive shaft 332, a box-moving drive sprocket 333, a box-moving driven shaft 334, a box-moving driven sprocket 335, and a box-moving chain 336. The box-moving drive component 331 is directly connected to the box-moving drive shaft 332. The box-moving drive sprocket 333 is mounted on the box-moving drive shaft 332, and the box-moving driven sprocket 335 is mounted on the box-moving driven shaft 334. The box-moving chain 336 is wound around the box-moving drive sprocket 333 and the box-moving driven chain 336 on the same side. On wheel 335, the moving box drive shaft 332 and the moving box driven shaft 334 are rotatably mounted on the lifting frame body 221 or the unloading mounting frame 310. The moving box drive shaft 332 and the moving box driven shaft 334 extend vertically along the transmission direction of the breeding box. The moving box drive shaft 332 is provided with two moving box drive sprockets 333, and the moving box driven shaft 334 is provided with two moving box driven sprockets 335. There are two moving box chains 336, and the two moving box chains 336 are fitted one-to-one on the corresponding moving box drive sprockets 333 and moving box driven sprockets 335.

[0080] like Figure 14 , Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the flipping mechanism 320 includes a flipping frame 321 and a flipping drive member 322 disposed on the unloading mounting frame 310. The flipping frame 321 includes an end stop 323 and two mounting plates 324. The two mounting plates 324 are disposed at opposite intervals at both ends of the end stop 323 and extend above the second box moving mechanism 330 along the transmission direction of the second box moving mechanism 330. Both mounting plates 324 form a slot space 325 for the flipping docking part of the breeding box to move in and out. The end stop 323 is flipped and hinged to the end of the unloading mounting frame 310 away from the first box moving mechanism 230 and is drivenly connected to the flipping drive member 322. It should be noted that the opposite sides of the breeding box are formed with flip-over docking parts extending along the transfer direction. That is, under the transmission action of the second box-moving mechanism 330, the two flip-over docking parts on the breeding box can enter and exit the slot spaces 325 of the two mounting plates 324 one by one. Specifically, when the breeding box needs to be flipped to unload, the second box-moving mechanism 330 drives the breeding box to move towards the flipping frame 321, and causes the flip-over docking parts on the breeding box to enter the slot spaces 325 of the mounting plates 324, so that the flipping frame 321 can drive the breeding box to flip when it performs the flipping action. In addition, since the flipping frame 321 is also provided with an end stop 323 at the end away from the first box-moving mechanism 230, the breeding box will not slide out of the slot space 325 when it is flipped, thereby ensuring the stability of the breeding box during the flipping action. More specifically, the flipping drive 322 can be configured as a telescopic cylinder. The cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder is movably hinged to the unloading mounting frame 310, and the piston rod is movably hinged to the end stop 323. The flipping drive 322 can drive the flipping frame 321 to flip to an angle range of 120° to 150° to ensure that the material in the breeding box can be completely unloaded. Preferably, the flipping angle can be 135°.

[0081] See Figure 14 and Figure 19In this embodiment of the invention, the unloading mounting frame 310 is further provided with a first guide wheel 340. The first guide wheel 340 is located above the second box-moving mechanism 330 and between the first box-moving mechanism 330 and the mounting plate 324. That is, the first guide wheel 340 can guide and assist the breeding box that is about to enter or leave the slot space 325, and prevent the breeding box from deviating during the transfer on the second box-moving mechanism 330. Specifically, the first guide wheel 340 on the unloading mounting frame 310 and the second guide wheel 2215 on the lifting frame body 221 can both be height-adjustable, and both include a guide wheel body 341, a guide wheel mounting shaft 342, a guide wheel cover plate 343 and an adjusting nut 344. The guide wheel body 341 is sleeved on the upper end of the guide wheel mounting shaft 342, and the guide wheel mounting shaft 342 forms a stop on the lower side of the guide wheel body 341. A cover plate is fitted on the upper side of 41 to restrict the guide wheel body 341. The lower end of the guide wheel mounting shaft 342 forms an external thread and passes through the unloading mounting frame 310 or the lifting frame body 221. At the same time, the lower end of the guide wheel mounting shaft 342 can also be fitted with an adjusting nut 344 to reliably lock the guide mounting shaft. Of course, by turning the adjusting nut 344, the installation height of the guide wheel mounting shaft 342 and the guide wheel body 341 on the guide wheel mounting shaft 342 can be adjusted.

[0082] Please see again Figure 14In this embodiment of the invention, the unloading mounting frame 310 is further equipped with a box-moving positioning sensor 350. The box-moving positioning sensor 350 is used to detect whether the breeding box has completely entered the slot space 325 and / or completely moved out of the second box-moving mechanism 330. That is, after the box-moving positioning sensor 350 detects that the breeding box has completely entered the slot space 325, the second box-moving mechanism 330 can be controlled to stop transmission, and the flipping drive 322 can be controlled to drive the flipping frame 321 to flip and unload. After the box-moving positioning sensor 350 detects that the breeding box has completely moved out of the second box-moving mechanism 330, the second box-moving mechanism 330 can be controlled to stop transmission, thereby ensuring the accuracy of automated control. Specifically, the unloading mounting frame 310 is provided with at least two box-moving position sensors at intervals along the transmission direction of the second box-moving mechanism 330. The box-moving position sensor provided near the end baffle 323 of the flipping frame 321 is used to detect whether the breeding box has completely entered. After power is applied and the breeding box is detected to have completely entered the slot space 325, the second box-moving mechanism 330 is controlled to stop transmission. After a system delay, the flipping drive 322 is controlled to drive the flipping frame 321 to flip and unload. The box-moving position sensor provided near the first box-moving mechanism 230 is used to detect whether the breeding box has completely moved out of the second box-moving mechanism 330. After power is applied and the breeding box is detected to have completely moved out of the second box-moving mechanism 330, the second box-moving mechanism 330 is controlled to stop transmission. In addition, a box-moving position sensor can also be provided at the inlet and outlet of the slot space 325 (the end of the mounting plate 324 away from the end baffle 323) to assist in detecting whether the breeding box has completely entered or exited the slot space 325.

[0083] See Figure 14 and Figure 15In this embodiment of the invention, the unloading mounting frame 310 is further provided with a flip-up positioning sensor 360, which is used to detect whether the flipping frame 321 has been flipped into position. That is, after the flip-up positioning sensor 360 detects that the flipping frame 321 has been flipped into position, the flipping drive component 322 can be controlled to stop working. Specifically, the unloading mounting frame 310 is provided with two flip-up positioning sensors 360. The lower flip-up positioning sensor 360 is used to detect whether the flipping frame 321 has reached the flipping unloading position, and the upper flip-up sensor is used to detect whether the flipping frame 321 has reached the horizontal reset position. More specifically, the unloading mounting bracket 310 extends out at one end away from the first transmission mechanism and is provided with an unloading hinge seat 311. The end stop 323 is movably hinged to the hinge shaft of the unloading hinge seat 311. The unloading hinge seat 311 is provided with a mounting plate 312. The mounting plate 312 includes a horizontal plate portion 313 and a vertical plate portion 314 that bends upward from the horizontal plate portion 313. The end of the horizontal plate portion 313 away from the vertical plate portion 314 is connected to the outside of the unloading hinge seat 311. The end stop 323 extends out from the upper side of the horizontal plate portion 313 and is provided with a trigger member 326. The vertical plate portion 314 faces the trigger member 326 and is provided with an arc-shaped mounting groove 315. The extension direction of the arc-shaped mounting groove 315 is in the same direction as the movement path of the trigger member 326 during the flipping process. Two flipping positioning sensors 360 are respectively installed at both ends of the arc-shaped mounting groove 315.

[0084] like Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the unloading device 300 further includes at least two weighing sensors 370, which are used to support the unloading mounting frame 310 at intervals. The addition of the weighing sensors 370 facilitates control of the weight of feed added to the breeding box. Specifically, after the tilting frame 321 completes unloading and tilts back, feed can be added to the empty breeding box. At this time, the weighing sensors 370 can detect the weight of the added feed, and stop adding feed when the weight reaches a set value. Furthermore, at least one weighing sensor 370 can be fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 210 to support the first end of the unloading mounting frame 310, and at least one weighing sensor 370 can be fixedly mounted on the unloading hopper 400 to support the second end of the unloading mounting frame 310.

[0085] See Figure 1In this embodiment of the invention, the conveyor frame device 110 includes a first transverse moving base 111, a second transverse moving base 112, and two longitudinal moving bases 113. The two longitudinal moving bases 113 are arranged in parallel. The first transverse moving base 111 is located at the end of the longitudinal moving base 113 closest to the fixed frame 210, and the second transverse moving base 112 is located at the end of the longitudinal moving base 113 away from the fixed frame 210. The first transverse moving base 111, the second transverse moving base 112, and the two longitudinal moving bases 113 are combined to form a rotatable conveying arrangement. One of the longitudinal moving bases 113 is positioned directly opposite the lifting frame mechanism 220, and the conveying direction is set towards the lifting frame mechanism 220. That is, the entire conveyor frame device 110 is arranged in a U-shape, and the moving bases on each side of the U-shape are independently arranged, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the breeding scale. That is, if it is necessary to increase the breeding scale, the length of the two longitudinal moving bases 113 can be increased. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The conveyor device 110 can be directly set as a conveyor that can be rotated in a plane.

[0086] like Figure 20 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, both longitudinally moving base frames 113 include a longitudinal frame body 114 and a longitudinal pulling mechanism 115. The longitudinal pulling mechanism 115 is located at the end of the longitudinal frame body 114 and is used to pull the breeding rack device 120 on the transversely moving base frame into the longitudinal frame body 114. Since the transmission direction of the longitudinal frame body 114, which is directly opposite to the lifting frame mechanism 220, is towards the lifting frame mechanism 220, the longitudinal pulling mechanism 115 can be provided at the end of the longitudinal frame body 114 away from the lifting frame mechanism 220 to pull the breeding rack device 120 on the second transversely moving base frame 112, which is away from the fixed frame 210, into the longitudinal frame body 114, which is directly opposite the lifting frame mechanism 220. At the same time, the breeding rack device 120 on the longitudinal frame body 114, which is close to the fixed frame 210, can be squeezed onto the first transversely moving base frame 111. Since the longitudinal frame 114, which is offset from the lifting frame mechanism 220, transmits data in the opposite direction to the lifting frame mechanism 220, a longitudinal pulling mechanism 115 can be installed at the end of the longitudinal frame 114 near the lifting frame mechanism 220 to pull the breeding rack device 120 on the first transverse moving base frame 111 near the fixed frame 210 onto the longitudinal frame 114 offset from the lifting frame mechanism 220. In other words, by adding the longitudinal pulling mechanism 115 to the longitudinal frame 114, it is possible to both pull and transfer the breeding rack device 120 on the transverse moving base frame to the longitudinal frame 114 and to squeeze all the breeding rack devices 120 on the longitudinal frame 114 forward as a whole. Compared to traditional conveyors, the longitudinal moving base frame 113 in this invention is significantly simpler to assemble and disassemble, and has a lower manufacturing cost.

[0087] See Figures 21 to 23In this embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal pulling mechanism 115 includes a longitudinal pulling seat 1151, a longitudinal driving member 1152, a hook seat 1153, and a hook body 1154. The longitudinal pulling seat 1151 is disposed on the longitudinal frame 114 and has a longitudinal pulling groove 1155. One end of the longitudinal driving member 1152 is connected to the longitudinal pulling seat 1151, and the other end is connected to the hook seat 1153 through a longitudinal pulling pin. The longitudinal pulling pin is movably inserted into the longitudinal pulling groove 1155. The hook body 1154 is movably hinged to the hook seat 1153 and extends upward. That is, the longitudinal driving member 1152 can be controlled to extend so that the hook body 1154 hooks the breeding rack device 120 on the transversely moving base frame, and then the longitudinal driving member can be controlled to retract so that the hook body 1154 pulls the breeding rack device 120 into the longitudinal frame 114. Meanwhile, since the hook body 1154 is movably hinged to the hook seat 1153, even if the hook body 1154 comes into contact with the outer side of the breeding rack device 120 before hooking the breeding rack device 120, it will deflect and fall over under the contact, thus extending to the position where it hooks the breeding rack device 120. In addition, the longitudinal pulling groove 1155 facilitates the connection between the longitudinal drive member and the hook seat 1153, and also guides the extension and retraction movement of the longitudinal drive member.

[0088] Specifically, the longitudinal drive component can be a telescopic hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder body of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the longitudinal pull-shift seat 1151. The piston rod of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder is connected to the pull hook seat 1153 through the longitudinal pull-shift pin. The end of the longitudinal pull-shift pin is provided with a slider 1156. The slider 1156 is movably embedded in the longitudinal pull-shift groove 1155. The addition of the slider 1156 can ensure the stability of the installation. The longitudinal pull-shift seat 1151 is provided with a first pin slot. The clamping pin protruding from the cylinder body of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder extends out from the first pin slot. A fixing plate 1157 is detachably connected to the longitudinal pull-shift seat 1151. The fixing plate 1157 forms a second pin slot. The first pin slot and the second pin slot are respectively located on opposite sides of the clamping pin to enclose the clamping pin. More specifically, the hook body 1154 is installed on the hook seat 1153 using a counterweight method, and the hook body 1154 is set vertically upward under the action of gravity, which can realize the automatic tilting and hooking of the breeding rack device 120.

[0089] like Figure 24As shown in this embodiment of the invention, both the first transverse moving base frame 111 and the second transverse moving base frame 112 include a transverse frame 116, a transverse trolley 117, and a transverse driving member 1161. The transverse trolley 117 is transversely movable on the transverse frame 116 and is used to support the breeding rack device 120. One end of the transverse driving member 1161 is connected to the transverse frame 116, and the other end is drivenly connected to the transverse trolley 117. That is, the transverse trolley 117 can be configured to change tracks on the transverse frame 116 to realize the transmission of the breeding rack device 120 on the transverse moving base frame. Specifically, when the lateral trolley 117 of the first lateral moving base 111 is directly opposite the lifting frame mechanism 220, the breeding rack device 120 on the longitudinal moving base 113 facing the lifting frame mechanism 220 can be squeezed onto the lateral trolley 117. At this time, the lifting frame mechanism 220 on the transfer device 200 can perform lifting and lowering movements, so that the first box-moving mechanism 230 and the loading and unloading mechanism 240 on the lifting frame mechanism 220 are respectively lifted and lowered to dock with the box-settling space at different heights, and the breeding boxes can be transferred between the box-settling space and the first box-moving mechanism 230. After all the breeding boxes on the breeding rack device 120 have been fed and placed on the rack, the lateral moving drive 1161 is controlled to drive the lateral trolley to the docking position on the other side of the longitudinal moving base 113, so that the longitudinal pulling mechanism 115 on this longitudinal moving base 113 can pull the breeding rack device 120 into the longitudinal frame 114. In addition, the lateral trolley 117 on the second lateral moving base 112 can also transfer the breeding rack device 120, and the transfer process will not be described in detail here.

[0090] Further, see Figures 25 to 27The traverse trolley 117 includes a traverse frame 1171, and a first roller assembly 118 and a second roller assembly 119 mounted on the traverse frame 1171. The first roller assembly 118 adopts a "V" shaped roller body, and the second roller assembly 119 adopts a flat roller body with a flange. The first roller assembly 118 includes a first roller seat 1181, a first roller pin 1182, a first roller bearing 1183, and a first roller body 1184. The first roller seat 1181 is mounted on the traverse frame 1171, the first roller pin 1182 is mounted on the first roller seat 1181, and the first roller body 1184 is rotatably mounted on the first roller pin 1182 through the first roller bearing 1183. There are two first roller bearings 1183, and a first spacer 1185 is provided between the two first roller bearings 1183. The second roller assembly 119 includes a second roller seat 1191, a second roller pin 1192, a second roller bearing 1193, and a second roller body 1194. The second roller seat 1191 is mounted on the transverse frame 1171, the second roller pin 1192 is mounted on the second roller seat 1191, and the second roller body 1194 is rotatably mounted on the second roller pin 1192 via the second roller bearing 1193. There are two second roller bearings 1193, and a second spacer 1195 is provided between the two second roller bearings 1193.

[0091] like Figure 28 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the breeding rack device 120 adopts a multi-layer truss structure with a layer spacing of not less than 360mm. It includes casters 121, layer beams 122, feed box support beams 123, and uprights 124. The casters 121 are installed at the bottom of the uprights 124. The layer beams 122 connect to adjacent uprights 124, and the feed box support beams 123 connect to the opposite layer beams 122 and are used to support the breeding boxes. All beams and columns adopt a rod-type structure and are bolted together for easy installation and transportation. It should be noted that, to ensure the stability of the breeding rack device 120 during transmission, channels for accommodating the casters 121 are formed on both the longitudinal frame 114 and the transverse transfer frame 1171. These channels extend longitudinally on both the longitudinal frame 114 and the transverse transfer frame 1171 to ensure that the breeding rack device 120 can smoothly transfer between the longitudinal frame 114 and the transverse transfer frame 1171.
