Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture, and more specifically to a multifunctional operating room for insect farming. Background Technology

[0002] Insects are diverse in species and form, belonging to the arthropods of the invertebrate family. They are the most numerous animal group on Earth, accounting for over 50% of all biological species, and their presence can be found in almost every corner of the world. Insect research requires collecting or raising large numbers of insects as specimens or experimental subjects. Most of the time, these experimental insects are bred and propagated using artificial rearing methods. Keeping them indoors, without contact with the natural environment, inevitably alters their habits, leading to less accurate research data.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to raise insects outdoors to ensure that they have full contact with the environment. However, the current outdoor breeding boxes or operating rooms for insects cannot adapt well to insects with different activity radii. Furthermore, when it is not necessary to raise insects in winter or when it is necessary to take insects to a new environment, they cannot be stored properly. Therefore, there is a need for an insect breeding operating room that can change the space for insect release and can be easily stored. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, a multifunctional operating chamber for insect breeding is provided. This operating chamber is easy to operate, each chamber has an adjustable length to accommodate insects with different release radii, and it is easy to store when not in use, saving space.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] This invention proposes a multifunctional operating room for insect breeding, comprising at least one breeding unit. The breeding unit includes a fixed frame and a movable frame. The fixed frame includes a rectangular frame composed of a rear vertical rod and a rear horizontal rod.

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 1-5This embodiment proposes a multifunctional operating room for insect breeding, including at least one breeding unit. The breeding unit includes a fixed frame 1 and a movable frame 2. The fixed frame 1 includes a rear vertical bar and a rear horizontal bar, which are vertically arranged and fixedly connected to form a rectangular frame. The movable frame 2 includes a front vertical bar 21 and a front horizontal bar 22, which are vertically arranged and fixedly connected to form a rectangular frame. The fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2 are connected by four storage rods 3 to form a cubic breeding unit. The storage rods 3 include a fixed rod 33 and a movable rod 32, which are rotatably connected to the fixed rod 33. The fixed rod 33 is fixed to the fixed frame 1. A sliding rod 31 is slidably connected inside the movable rod 32, and both the sliding rod 31 and the fixed rod 33 are provided with slide rails.

[0035] The front vertical rod 21 has rotatable rollers 25 at both ends, and inner rollers 24 are fixed on the rollers 25. The rollers 24 slide along the slide rail. The front vertical rod 21 also has a connecting rod 27 fixed on the side, and a rotating ring 28 is fixed on the connecting rod 27. The rotating ring 28 is rotatably connected to a side roller 26. The side roller 26 is rotatably connected to the side of the slide rod 31 and the side of the fixed rod 33. The front vertical rod 21 has rollers 5 rotatably connected to the upper end and the side. The rollers 5 include an upper roller 51 and a side roller 52. The rollers 25 at the upper end of the front vertical rod 21 are fixedly connected to the upper roller 51, and the side rollers 26 are fixedly connected to the side roller 52. The upper roller 51 and the side roller 52 have a mesh 4 wound on them. One end of the mesh 4 is fixed to the fixed frame 1. When insect breeding is not required, by pushing the front vertical rod 21, the inner roller 24 slides to the position of the fixed rod 33. The front vertical rod 21 no longer pushes against the upper and lower movable rods 32 and sliding rods 31, allowing the movable rods 32 and sliding rods 31 to rotate around the rotating shaft 35, thus realizing the storage of the entire breeding unit. At the same time, the side rollers 26 and inner rollers 24 drive the side rollers 52 and upper rollers 51 to roll up the mesh 4.

[0036] The mesh 4 is fixed with mesh magnets 41 on both sides. The slide rod 31 and the movable rod 32 are both fixed with mesh iron pieces 42 that can attract the mesh magnets 41. The slide rod 31 is also fixed with an upper suction plate 38, and the upper suction plate 38 is fixed with iron pieces that can attract the mesh 4 wound by the upper roller 51.

[0037] The bottom of the breeding unit is also covered with a mat 6, which has several base plates 61. The base plates 61 are rotatably connected by a base plate pivot 63, and each base plate 61 is provided with a lower horizontal bar 62.

[0038] A mesh panel 23 is fixed to the front crossbar 22. The front crossbar 22 and the mesh panel 23 clamp the door blocking net 7. The door blocking net 7 includes a door frame mesh 71. A long horizontal bar 72 is fixed to the outside of the door frame mesh 71. A short horizontal bar 73 is fixed to the inside of the door frame mesh 71. The long horizontal bar 72 and the short horizontal bar 73 cooperate with the lower horizontal bar 62 to seal the bottom of the breeding unit. A magnet is fixed to the inside of the long horizontal bar 72. Iron pieces corresponding to the magnet are fixed to both sides of the lower horizontal bar 62.

[0039] A connecting plate 34 is fixed to the end of the sliding rod 31. Both the connecting plate 34 and the fixed rod 33 have through holes at their ends. Bolts 36 are threaded into the through holes, and a nut 37 located on the lower side of the connecting plate 34 fits into one end of the bolt 36. By connecting the connecting plate 34 and the fixed rod 33 and then fixing them with bolts 36, multiple sets of breeding units can be connected in series.

[0040] The front crossbar 22 and the rear crossbar on the fixed frame 1 are 126 cm long, the front vertical bar 21 and the rear vertical bar on the fixed frame 1 are 196 cm long, the storage rod 3 is 120 cm long, the fixed rod 33 above the breeding unit is 20 cm long, and the fixed rod 33 below the breeding unit is 30 cm long.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] S1: When raising or releasing insects, first unfold the movable rods 32 and slide rods 31 at the top and bottom ends. By pushing the front vertical rod 21, the inner roller 24 slides inside the slide rod 31, and at the same time, the upper roller 51 rotates along it. When the inner roller 24 rolls, the connecting rod 27 on one side of the front vertical rod 21 drives the side roller 26 to rotate along the side of the slide rod 31 and the side of the fixed rod 33. The side roller 26 drives the side roller 52 to rotate. Through the rotation of the inner roller 24 and the side roller 26, the netting 4 rolled up on the upper roller 51 and the side roller 52 is gradually released.

[0043] S2: When the mesh 4 is released, the mesh magnets 41 on both sides of the side mesh 4 are attracted by the mesh iron pieces 42 on the side of the slide bar 31, and the mesh 4 on both sides of the upper roller 51 is attracted by the iron pieces of the upper suction plate 38. Then, the positions that are not attracted are manually checked and assisted in fixing. In addition, the door frame mesh 71 is fixed on the front crossbar 22 through the mesh plate 23, which can achieve sealing of the top and four sides of the breeding unit.

[0044] S3: When multiple breeding units need to be combined, first unfold a breeding unit A to serve as a storage room, then unfold the breeding unit B that needs to be combined. The upper fixing rod 33 of the breeding unit B is fixed to the connecting plate 34 of the breeding unit A by bolts 36 to complete the combination and form an operating room with multiple breeding units.

[0045] S4: After the breeding unit is assembled, take out the rolled-up mat 6 and lay it on the floor of the operating room. At this time, the long horizontal bar 72 and short horizontal bar 73 at the lower end of the door frame mesh 71 cooperate with the lower horizontal bar 62 on the bottom plate 61 to achieve a seal on the bottom side.

[0046] S5: Depending on the activity range of different insects, the sliding rod 31 can be pulled out from the movable rod 32 to increase the distance in the length direction of the breeding unit. Continue to push the front vertical rod 21 to the end of the sliding rod 31 so that the netting 4 rolled up by the upper roller 51 and the side roller 52 can continue to cover the breeding unit. Then, manually check the position that needs to be fixed to ensure the seal.

[0047] In S3, when in use, a special box for insect overwintering is placed in the storage room, the mesh used to separate the breeding units is taken down, leaving the outermost mesh intact. Overwintering insects fly directly into the well-ventilated and well-lit insect activity room. After counting the number and types of insects and eliminating any overwintering pests, the inner mesh is lowered to prevent insects that were not counted during the release period from flying out directly. Then the outer mesh is opened to allow the insects to fly out for release.

[0048] Female and male insects can also be placed together in the breeding chamber for mating. Pots containing suitable crops or flowers are placed in the chamber beforehand for the mated insects to lay eggs. After hatching, the eggs are raised, pupated, and emerged as adults before being released. Different insects have different habits and living environments, requiring different rearing methods. Placing them outdoors allows them to be exposed to wind, rain, and sun, maximizing their integration with the natural environment. This overcomes the characteristics of carnivorous insects, such as high alertness, strict environmental requirements, migration when startled, reduced feeding, and low reproductive rates. The retractable breeding units facilitate transportation to different natural environments and do not take up much space during overwintering or other non-breeding periods.

[0049] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
