[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols 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.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-2 The illustrated cage for raising ladybugs includes a frame 1, which is a rectangular structure with a length of 90cm, a width of 60cm, and a height of 60cm. The frame 1 has a light-transmitting film surface 2 and a mesh surface 3 on its exterior, forming a breeding space. The bottom of the breeding space is the mesh surface 3. A tray 4 is also provided below the frame 1, located below the breeding space, with a feeding distance between the tray 4 and the bottom of the breeding space. Preferably, the bottom of the breeding space is made of 50-mesh nylon mesh, facilitating the falling of aphid carcasses onto the tray 4 when the mesh surface 3 at the bottom is relatively displaced. The top of the breeding space is the mesh surface 3, and a red light-transmitting film 5 is provided on the top of the frame 1. This red light-transmitting film 5 is a red PVC light-transmitting rigid film, located above the top surface of the breeding space. Preferably, the top of the breeding space is made of high-density nylon mesh.

[0025] Preferably, the front side of the breeding space is a light-transmitting film surface 2, which can be made of light-transmitting plastic film, and the front side is provided with a front opening. The front opening divides the front side into a front connecting part connected to the frame 1 and a front door part. A front zipper 6 is provided at the front opening. The front zipper 6 is sewn to the plastic film with cotton cloth. The front zipper 6 is used to connect or separate the front door part from the front connecting part, thereby facilitating the breeding of ladybugs.

[0026] Preferably, the left and right sides of the breeding space are both made of mesh 3. The left and right sides of the breeding space are made of high-density nylon mesh. There are side openings on the left and right sides, which divide the left or right side into a side connecting part and a side door part. The side openings are equipped with side zippers 7 for connecting or separating the side door and the side connecting part, which facilitates ventilation and ladybug climbing. At the same time, there are side openings on both the left and right sides, which makes it easy to replace the broad bean seedlings for ladybug breeding and feed them.

[0027] Preferably, the rear side of the breeding space is a mesh surface 3, specifically a high-density nylon mesh material, which facilitates the breeding of ladybugs.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] To further increase the amount of red light provided to ladybugs in the breeding space, such as Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the red light-transmitting film 5 includes a first side 50 and a second side 51 connected together. The first side 50 gradually slopes downward from the side closer to the second side 51 to the side farther away from the second side 51, and the second side 51 gradually slopes downward from the side closer to the first side 50 to the side farther away from the first side 50.

[0030] To further provide red light from multiple angles, preferably, the first side 50 and the second side 51 form an angled light-transmitting portion, and the angled light-transmitting portion is provided with multiple sets, with a concave arc surface red light-transmitting film 52 between any two adjacent sets of angled light-transmitting portions.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the dropping of aphid carcasses, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment two is that the bottom of the breeding space has a first protrusion 8.

[0033] Preferably, the bottom of the breeding space also has a second protrusion 9. When it is necessary to drop the material at the bottom of the breeding space, the first protrusion 8 and the second protrusion 9 alternately occupy the highest position. Specifically, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are stacked relative to the center of the breeding space, and the first protrusion is close to the left side of the breeding space, and the second protrusion is close to the right side of the breeding space.

[0034] Preferably, the chassis is provided with a lifting part 10, and there are two sets of lifting parts 10. One set of lifting parts 10 is located below the first protrusion 8, and the other set of lifting parts 10 is located below the second protrusion 9. The first set of lifting parts 10 is in the highest position. In order to prevent aphid corpses from sticking to the lifting parts 10 and affecting the operation of the lifting parts 10, preferably, the first lifting part 10 and the second lifting part 10 are covered with an elastic plastic film. The lifting part 10 in the lowest position is located below the bottom of the breeding space. Preferably, the elastic plastic film is a single piece. The elastic plastic film has a part that contacts the first lifting part 10 and a part that contacts the second lifting part 10. This facilitates the removal of aphid corpses and also facilitates the provision of red light at different angles to the ladybugs in the breeding space, thereby facilitating the reproduction of ladybugs.

[0035] Optionally, the lifting part 10 is a cam structure, and the two lifting parts 10 are symmetrically arranged. When one cam is at the highest point, the other cam is at the lowest point, and the outer contours of the two cams are the same.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
