Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insect egg hatching technology, and in particular to a bagging device and method for white wax insect egg sacs. Background Technology

[0002] Insect wax is an important and rare resource in my country. The male insect, the white wax insect, parasitizes the branches of host plants such as privet and secretes a pure natural biological wax, which is a rare and precious specialty of the world. As a high-molecular green and environmentally friendly material, insect wax has been widely used in military, pharmaceutical, food, light chemical, precision casting, electronics, textile, printing and dyeing, and handicraft industries in recent years with the continuous advancement of utilization technology. In particular, it has special and irreplaceable uses in the fields of national high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries.

[0003] The white wax insect is mainly produced by males secreting wax. After the males pupate in mid-to-late August, they molt into adults, emerge from the wax flowers, and seek out females to mate with. The wax flowers can then be harvested after they mature. After mating, the females gradually swell and begin laying eggs in late April of the following year. At this time, the abdominal wall of the insect on the branch is sunken inward, forming a cavity in which the eggs are laid. After laying eggs in late May, the insect body dries up and dies, turning into a thin shell that tightly encloses the laid eggs, forming an "egg carrier," commonly known as a "seed insect," or white wax insect egg sac.

[0004] Since temperature is the primary factor in the hatching of white wax insects, the egg sacs need to be spread out to dry after collection to adjust their internal moisture level. Furthermore, white wax insects rarely hatch at 10°C, only beginning to hatch at temperatures above 10°C, and can hatch at temperatures ranging from 15°C to 35°C. Therefore, the dried egg sacs should be individually packaged in non-woven bags and hung up to ensure that the humidity and temperature within the sacs meet the suitable ecological indicators for white wax insect hatching. Simultaneously, using non-woven bags to package and hang the sacs effectively traps any parasitic wasps that may be present inside, thus ensuring a high hatching rate.

[0005] However, currently, the bagging of white wax insect egg sacs after drying is usually done manually, which has the following shortcomings:

[0006] 1. Although the egg sacs of white wax insects can be spread out and dried manually, after the egg sacs are dried, they need to be bagged and hung on branches in order for the eggs to hatch. Therefore, the bagging of egg sacs also needs to be done manually. However, it is difficult to control the force when bagging the egg sacs manually, which can easily cause them to be squeezed, thus compressing the eggs inside and affecting their survival rate.

[0007] 2. To ensure proper ventilation and light transmission, as well as uniformity of the hanging of white wax insect egg sacs, it is usually necessary to place a specified number of egg sacs into non-woven bags. However, it is difficult to control the number of egg sacs placed in the non-woven bags by manual bagging, which can easily lead to an excessive number of egg sacs in the non-woven bags, affecting ventilation and light transmission. Consequently, the eggs that are not properly ventilated and light-transmitted cannot hatch normally, thus affecting the hatching rate and causing production losses.

[0008] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is room for improvement in the existing methods of bagging and drying white wax insect egg sacs. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a bagging device for white wax insect egg sacs, comprising a workbench, a holding hopper and a guide plate mounted on the upper end of the workbench via a support frame, the guide plate being connected to the holding hopper and located on one side thereof, the end of the guide plate away from the holding hopper being inclined downward, and the side of the holding hopper near the guide plate having multiple discharge ports evenly spaced along the width direction of the workbench.

[0010] Multiple discharge tracks corresponding to the discharge port positions are installed on the upper part of the guide plate, and a guide tube is installed at the end of the discharge track away from the holding hopper.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall of the holding hopper is provided with a plurality of partitions at equal intervals along the width direction of the workbench to divide the interior of the holding hopper into a plurality of feeding spaces. The upper end of the partitions is provided with a dispersing strip. The feeding spaces correspond to and are connected to the discharge ports.

[0012] The container has an opening at the top, and the lower part of the opening gradually converges inward, with the thickness of the dispersion strips gradually increasing from top to bottom.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the holding hopper, connected by belt drive and passing through a partition. The two rotating shafts are symmetrically arranged along the length of the partition. The outer walls of the two rotating shafts located inside the feeding space are jointly fitted with a belt. The outer wall of the belt is evenly provided with a plurality of first feeding teeth. A drive motor connected to either rotating shaft is mounted on the side wall of the holding hopper via a motor mount.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the holding hopper is further provided with a linkage shaft that is connected to the rotating shaft via a belt drive. The linkage shaft passes through the discharge port, and a plurality of sleeves located inside the discharge port are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the linkage shaft. A plurality of annularly distributed second feeding teeth are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the sleeves.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two connecting shafts are rotatably connected between the guide plate and the discharge track. The two connecting shafts are symmetrically arranged along the length of the discharge track and connected by belt drive. Each connecting shaft is connected to the linkage shaft by belt drive. Multiple conveyor belts located at the bottom of the discharge track are sleeved on the outer wall of the two connecting shafts. Multiple protruding strips are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the conveyor belts.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material further includes a feeding mechanism located on the side of the conveyor belt away from the holding hopper. The feeding mechanism includes a through hole. The guide plate and the discharge track on the side away from the holding hopper are provided with a through hole. A lifting baffle is slidably arranged inside the through hole. A push-pull block is installed at the lower end of the lifting baffle. A waist-shaped hole is provided on the push-pull block. A crankshaft is rotatably passed through the waist-shaped holes of the two push-pull blocks.

[0017] A support plate is installed at the lower end of the guide plate, and the two ends of the crankshaft pass through the support plates on both sides respectively. The multiple crankshafts below the guide plate are connected by a belt drive.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary shaft is rotatably connected to the crankshaft via a belt drive at either end of the two receiving plates. A first bevel gear is sleeved at the end of the auxiliary shaft near the connecting shaft, and a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear is sleeved at the end of the connecting shaft near the receiving plate.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide plate and the discharge track are also equipped with a sequential feeding mechanism on the side near the holding hopper. The lifting baffle, push-pull block, auxiliary shaft and the first bevel gear in the two sequential feeding mechanisms are symmetrically arranged along the conveyor belt.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also provides a bagging method for white wax insect egg sacs, comprising the following steps:

[0021] S1. Preparation: First, install the non-woven bag for holding the white wax insect egg sacs, and then put the dried white wax insect egg sacs into the holding container.

[0022] S2. Discharge of white wax insect egg sacs: The white wax insect egg sacs in the holding bucket are sequentially passed through the discharge port, discharge track and guide tube and then enter the non-woven bag;

[0023] S3. Receiving and separating white wax insect egg sacs: When white wax insect egg sacs pass through the discharge track, they are received and separated by lifting baffles to ensure that only one white wax insect egg sac can be discharged at a time.

[0024] S4. Counting of White Wax Insect Eggs: When the lifting baffle discharges the white wax insect egg sacs from the discharge track, the counting mechanism counts them to ensure that the non-woven bag contains a specified number of white wax insect egg sacs.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] I. This invention uses a feeding method to discharge white wax insect egg sacs into a non-woven bag, which can prevent them from falling off and being squeezed, thus affecting the survival rate of the insect eggs inside. Specifically, this invention uses a circumferentially moving belt to drive the first feeding tooth to discharge the white wax insect egg sacs in the holding hopper to the discharge port, which can prevent the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating at the discharge port and causing blockage, which can easily lead to compression and affect the survival rate of the insect eggs inside. Furthermore, the use of a second feeding tooth ensures that only one white wax insect egg sac can be discharged from the discharge port at a time, thereby effectively preventing the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating on the discharge track and easily falling off, and ensuring the discharge efficiency of white wax insect egg sacs.

[0027] Second, this invention uses a counterclockwise circumferential conveyor belt with raised strips to transport white wax insect egg sacs, preventing the egg sacs from rolling downwards on their own and causing impact that could damage the eggs. In addition, the conveying process can effectively separate the white wax insect egg sacs, preventing multiple egg sacs from piling up and falling off the discharge track.

[0028] Third, this invention uses two staggered, vertically moving lifting baffles to discharge multiple white wax insect egg sacs one by one on the discharge track, avoiding collisions caused by multiple white wax insect egg sacs being discharged simultaneously, which would affect the survival rate of the insect eggs inside. This ensures the quality of the white wax insect egg sacs after bagging and prevents the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating and falling or causing blockage of the guide tube.

[0029] Fourth, after a certain number of white wax insect egg sacs are discharged, the present invention raises the controller to stop the drive motor and controls the lifting baffle on the side away from the holding hopper to rise and separate the white wax insect egg sacs in the partition area, thereby ensuring that a specified number of white wax insect egg sacs are contained in the non-woven bag, thereby ensuring the uniformity of air permeability and light transmission of the white wax insect egg sacs in the non-woven bag, and thus improving the hatching rate of the white wax insect egg sacs.

[0030] V. This invention uses a rotating double-headed screw to drive two rectangular sleeves and lifting baffles to move relative to each other or away from each other. This allows the distance between the two lifting baffles to be adjusted according to the diameter of the white wax insect egg sac, thereby avoiding the squeezing of the white wax insect egg sac due to the small distance between the two lifting baffles. At the same time, it can prevent the white wax insect egg sac from being squeezed due to the small distance between the two lifting baffles, and prevent the white wax insect egg sac from being too large, which would result in more than one white wax insect egg sac entering the separation area and affect the number of white wax insect egg sacs that can be put into the non-woven bag.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention may be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0043] This application discloses a bagging device for white wax insect egg sacs. The device is primarily used for bagging white wax insect egg sacs after they have been laid out to dry. Technically, it allows the egg sacs to be placed into a holding hopper 2 and scattered into different feeding spaces. The egg sacs then sequentially pass through a discharge port, a discharge track 4, and a guide cylinder 5 into a non-woven bag containing the egg sacs. Notably, during the discharge process, the device can pull out one egg sac from the holding hopper 2 at a time. The bagging device effectively prevents the egg sacs of the white wax insect from accumulating on the discharge track 4 and falling off, and ensures the efficiency of the egg sac discharge. Furthermore, the bagging device for the egg sacs can discharge and bag the egg sacs one by one, avoiding collisions caused by multiple egg sacs being discharged at the same time, which would affect the survival rate of the eggs inside. It can also prevent the egg sacs from accumulating and falling off or causing blockage of the guide tube 5, thereby ensuring that a specified number of egg sacs are contained in the non-woven bag, thus ensuring the uniformity of air and light transmission of the egg sacs in the non-woven bag, and thus improving the hatching rate of the egg sacs.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a bagging device for white wax insect egg sacs includes a workbench 1. A holding hopper 2 and a guide plate 3 are installed on the upper end of the workbench 1 via a support frame. The guide plate 3 is connected to the holding hopper 2 and located on one side of it. The end of the guide plate 3 away from the holding hopper 2 is inclined downward. Multiple discharge ports are equally spaced along the width direction of the workbench 1 on the side of the holding hopper 2 near the guide plate 3.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of discharge tracks 4 corresponding to the positions of the discharge ports are installed on the upper end of the guide plate 3, and a guide tube 5 is installed on the end of the discharge track 4 away from the holding hopper 2.

[0047] In actual use, firstly, the non-woven bag used to hold the white wax insect egg sacs is placed on the lower end of the guide tube 5. The white wax insect egg sacs that have been laid out and dried are placed into the holding hopper 2. Then, the white wax insect egg sacs are discharged through the discharge port and discharged through the discharge track 4. Subsequently, the white wax insect egg sacs fall down through the guide tube 5 into the non-woven bag. Then, the non-woven bag containing the white wax insect egg sacs is removed and sealed, thus completing the bagging of the white wax insect egg sacs.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a non-woven bag is used to hold the white wax insect egg sacs. Using a non-woven bag can ensure the air permeability and light permeability of the egg sacs inside, thereby ensuring the hatching rate of the white wax insect egg sacs during the hanging period.

[0049] Reference Figure 2As shown, in order to improve the bagging efficiency of white wax insect egg sacs and prevent the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating at the discharge port and causing blockage when discharged from the holding hopper 2, in this embodiment, multiple partitions 21 are installed at equal intervals along the width direction of the workbench 1 on the inner bottom wall of the holding hopper 2 to divide the interior of the holding hopper 2 into multiple feeding spaces. Dispersing strips 22 are installed on the upper end of the partitions 21. The feeding spaces correspond to the positions of the discharge ports and are interconnected. The top of the holding hopper 2 is open, and the lower end of the opening gradually converges inward to guide the white wax insect egg sacs and prevent the outer side of the white wax insect egg sacs inside from falling off. The thickness of the dispersing strips 22 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0050] In the specific implementation process, when the white wax insect egg sacs are placed into the holding hopper 2, they are scattered into different feeding spaces under the action of the dispersing strip 22. Then, the white wax insect egg sacs are discharged into the non-woven bag containing the white wax insect egg sacs in sequence through the discharge port, the discharge track 4 and the guide tube 5 in different feeding spaces.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the white wax insect egg sacs in the holding hopper 2 can be smoothly discharged onto the discharge track 4, an automatic discharge mechanism is also provided in this embodiment. The mechanism is as follows: two rotating shafts 23 are rotatably connected by belt drive and pass through the partition 21 on the holding hopper 2. The two rotating shafts 23 are symmetrically arranged along the length of the partition 21. The outer walls of the two rotating shafts 23 located inside the discharge space are fitted with a belt 24. The outer wall of the belt 24 is evenly provided with a plurality of first feeding teeth 25. A drive motor 26 connected to any of the rotating shafts 23 is installed on the side wall of the holding hopper 2 through a motor base.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a linkage shaft 27 connected to the rotating shaft 23 via belt drive is rotatably mounted on the holding hopper 2. The linkage shaft 27 passes through the discharge port, and multiple sleeves located inside the discharge port are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the linkage shaft 27. Multiple annularly distributed second feeding teeth 28 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the sleeves. It should be noted that the first feeding teeth 25 and the second feeding teeth 28 provided in this embodiment are both made of flexible rubber, which can prevent squeezing of the white wax insect egg sac when it is moved, thus affecting the survival rate of the insect eggs.

[0053] In actual operation, the drive motor 26 is started. The drive motor 26 drives the belt 24 to move counterclockwise around the shaft 23. The belt 24 drives the first feeding tooth 25 at its upper end to move away from the guide plate 3, while the first feeding tooth 25 at the lower end of the belt 24 moves towards the guide plate 3 and pushes the white wax insect egg sac in the holding bucket 2 to the discharge port.

[0054] At the same time, the rotating shaft 23 drives the linkage shaft 27 to rotate counterclockwise. The linkage shaft 27 drives the second feeding tooth 28 to rotate through the sleeve and pushes the white wax insect egg sacs at the discharge port onto the discharge track 4. This avoids the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating at the discharge port and causing blockage, which can easily lead to compression and affect the survival rate of the insect eggs inside. Furthermore, the use of the second feeding tooth 28 can ensure that only one white wax insect egg sac can be pushed out at a time, which can effectively prevent the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating on the discharge track 4 and falling off easily, and can ensure the feeding efficiency of the white wax insect egg sacs.

[0055] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, since the discharge track 4 is arranged at an angle, the white wax insect egg sacs are easy to roll off quickly after being pulled onto the discharge track 4, and there is a risk of falling. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment, two connecting shafts 41 are rotatably inserted between the guide plate 3 and the discharge track 4. The two connecting shafts 41 are symmetrically arranged along the length of the discharge track 4 and connected by belt drive. Any one of the connecting shafts 41 is connected to the linkage shaft 27 by belt drive. Multiple conveyor belts 42 located at the bottom of the discharge track 4 are sleeved on the outer wall of the two connecting shafts 41. Multiple protruding strips 43 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the conveyor belts 42.

[0056] In actual use, after the white wax insect egg sac is pushed onto the discharge track 4, it rolls downwards along it and stops when it contacts the raised strip 43. When the linkage shaft 27 rotates, it drives the conveyor belt 42 to move counterclockwise circumferentially through the connecting shaft 41. The conveyor belt 42 drives the white wax insect egg sac downwards through the raised strip 43. In this way, the white wax insect egg sac is transported by the conveyor belt 42 in conjunction with the raised strip 43, which prevents the white wax insect egg sac from rolling downwards on its own and causing impact that could damage the eggs. In addition, the white wax insect egg sac can be effectively separated during the transportation process, preventing multiple white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating and falling off the discharge track 4.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to further avoid collisions or accumulation of white wax insect egg sacs during the feeding process, which could cause blockage of the guide cylinder 5, this embodiment also includes a feeding mechanism 6 located on the side of the conveyor belt 42 away from the holding hopper 2. The feeding mechanism 6 includes a through hole. The guide plate 3 and the discharge track 4 on the side away from the holding hopper 2 are both provided with a through hole. A lifting baffle 61 is slidably arranged inside the through hole. A push-pull block 62 is installed at the lower end of the lifting baffle 61. A waist-shaped hole 63 is provided on the push-pull block 62. A crankshaft 64 is rotatably inserted into the waist-shaped holes 63 of the two push-pull blocks 62. The two lifting baffles 61 in the above technical solution can form a separating area for separating multiple white wax insect egg sacs on the discharge track 4.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a receiving plate 65 is installed at the lower end of the guide plate 3, and the two ends of the crankshaft 64 pass through the receiving plates 65 on both sides respectively. The multiple crankshafts 64 below the guide plate 3 are connected together by belt drive.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an auxiliary shaft 66, which is connected to the crankshaft 64 via belt drive, is rotatably passed through either end of the two receiving plates 65. A first bevel gear 67 is sleeved on one end of the auxiliary shaft 66 near the connecting shaft 41, and a second bevel gear 68, which meshes with the first bevel gear 67, is sleeved on the end of the connecting shaft 41 near the receiving plate 65.

[0060] During actual operation, the connecting shaft 41 rotates, and the crankshaft 64 is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the first bevel gear 67 and the second bevel gear 68. During the rotation of the crankshaft 64, the two lifting baffles 61 at its upper end are moved up and down alternately by the push-pull block 62. When the lifting baffle 61 on the side closer to the holding hopper 2 moves down, the other lifting baffle 61 moves up, so that the white wax insect egg sacs at the bottom of the discharge track 4 enter the separation area.

[0061] Subsequently, the lifting baffle 61 near the holding hopper 2 moves upward to block the white wax insect egg sacs on the discharge track 4, while another lifting baffle 61 moves downward to release the white wax insect egg sacs in the separated area into the guide cylinder 5. This allows the white wax insect egg sacs to be discharged one by one, avoiding collisions caused by multiple white wax insect egg sacs being discharged at the same time, which would affect the survival rate of the eggs inside. This ensures the quality of the white wax insect egg sacs after bagging and prevents the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating and falling or causing blockage of the guide cylinder 5.

[0062] It should be noted that the top of the lifting baffle 61 is symmetrically chamfered along the thickness direction, so that the thickness of the upper end of the lifting baffle 61 gradually decreases from bottom to top. This makes it easier for the lifting baffle 61 to be smoothly inserted between two adjacent white wax insect egg sacs when it moves upward, thus ensuring that only one white wax insect egg sac enters the separation area at a time.

[0063] Example 2:

[0064] Reference Figure 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, in order to further prevent multiple white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating on the discharge track 4 and falling off, in this embodiment, a sequential feeding mechanism 6 is also installed on the guide plate 3 and the side of the discharge track 4 near the holding hopper 2. The lifting baffle 61, push-pull block 62, auxiliary shaft 66 and first bevel gear 67 in the two sequential feeding mechanisms 6 are all symmetrically arranged along the conveyor belt 42.

[0065] In actual operation, the two vertically movable baffles 61 in the feeding mechanism 6 near the holding hopper 2 can separate the white wax insect egg sacs discharged from the discharge port, so that they are discharged one by one onto the discharge track 4 and then enter the non-woven bag through the guide tube 5. This can further effectively prevent the white wax insect egg sacs from accumulating on the discharge track 4 and falling off, causing the loss of insect eggs.

[0066] Example 3:

[0067] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Example 2, to ensure air permeability and light transmittance during hanging in the non-woven bag, it is necessary to ensure that the number of white wax insect egg sacs in the non-woven bag is not too large. Therefore, the white wax insect egg sacs need to be filled in a specified number according to the volume of the non-woven bag. Based on this, a counting mechanism 7 is also provided in this embodiment, which is specifically as follows:

[0068] An L-shaped bracket 71 is installed at the lower end of the receiving plate 65 on the side away from the holding container 2. A controller 72 is installed on the horizontal section of the L-shaped bracket 71. An electronic counter 73 is installed on the top of the controller 72. A touch switch is installed on the upper end of the electronic counter 73. The controller 72 and the electronic counter 73 are electrically connected. The electronic counter 73 is located below the push-pull block 62 on the side away from the holding container 2. The controller 72 and the drive motor 26 are electrically connected through a wire 74.

[0069] It should be noted that the controller 72 and electronic counter 73 used in this embodiment are both existing technologies. The controller 72 is an existing PLC controller 72 used to receive and transmit signals. The working principle of the electronic counter 73 is that the push-pull block 62 moves downward and contacts the touch switch on the top of the electronic counter 73 to emit a pulse signal. The number of pulses detected is counted, and the number of pulses indicates the number of white wax insect egg sacs discharged from the discharge track 4. The controller 72 is used to receive the counting signal of the electronic counter 73. After a specified number of white wax insect egg sacs are discharged, the controller 72 receives the number of pulses from the electronic counter 73 and transmits a signal to the drive motor 26, causing the drive motor 26 to stop running, thereby realizing the intermittent discharge of white wax insect egg sacs in a certain quantity.

[0070] In practical use, when the lifting baffle 61 on the side away from the holding hopper 2 descends, it discharges the white wax insect egg sacs in the separation area. At the same time, the lifting baffle 61 drives the push-pull block 62 to descend and contact the touch switch. At this time, the electronic counter 73 counts once and transmits a signal to the controller 72. After a certain number of white wax insect egg sacs are discharged, the controller 72 transmits a signal to the drive motor 26. At this time, the drive motor 26 stops running and controls the lifting baffle 61 on the side away from the holding hopper 2 to rise and separate the white wax insect egg sacs in the separation area. This ensures that a specified number of white wax insect egg sacs are contained in the non-woven bag, thereby ensuring the uniformity of air and light transmission of the white wax insect egg sacs in the non-woven bag, and thus improving the hatching rate of the white wax insect egg sacs.

[0071] Example 4:

[0072] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in Example 3, since most white wax insect egg sacs have irregular surfaces, they can easily enter the partition area from different directions. The diameter of the egg sacs at different directions may be greater than or less than the distance between the two lifting baffles 61 in the partition area. When the diameter of the egg sac is greater than the distance between the two lifting baffles 61, the baffles 61 may compress the egg sac, affecting the survival rate of the eggs. Conversely, if the diameter is less than the distance, two or more egg sacs may enter the partition area together, increasing the number of egg sacs discharged into the non-woven bag and affecting the air permeability and light transmittance during the later hanging period. Therefore, this example also provides an adjustment mechanism 8 for adjusting the distance between the two lifting baffles 61 in the partition area. The adjustment mechanism 8 is as follows:

[0073] The width of the through hole is greater than the thickness of the lifting baffle 61. A rectangular sleeve 81 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the lifting baffle 61. The rectangular sleeve 81 is slidably connected to the inside of the through hole. Two sliding grooves are symmetrically opened along the length direction on the inner wall of the through hole. A support block 82 is installed on the outer wall of the rectangular sleeve 81 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove. Through the mutual cooperation between the rectangular sleeve 81, the sliding groove and the support block 82, the lifting baffle 61 can move up and down without being affected. Moreover, the lifting baffle 61 can be moved along the length direction of the sliding groove by controlling the movement of the rectangular sleeve 81.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a double-ended screw 83 is provided between two corresponding support blocks 82 on the sidewalls of two rectangular sleeves 81 on the same discharge track 4. The end of the double-ended screw 83 away from the holding hopper 2 extends to the outside after passing through the guide plate 3. The outer wall of the double-ended screw 83 provided in this embodiment has two sets of transmission threads with opposite directions of rotation, and the ends of multiple double-ended screws 83 are connected by a belt drive so that multiple double-ended screws 83 can rotate synchronously.

[0075] Furthermore, a positioning block 84 is installed on the upper end of the push-pull block 62. A groove is provided on the upper end of the positioning block 84. The lower end of the lifting baffle 61 is slidably connected in the groove. Two fixed shafts 85 are symmetrically arranged along the length of the inner wall of the groove, which slide through the lifting baffle 61. The bottom of the lifting baffle 61 can be guided by the fixed shafts 85, so that when the lifting baffle 61 slides in the groove, it can only move along the axial direction of the fixed shafts 85.

[0076] In actual operation, rotating the double-headed screw 83 causes the two rectangular sleeves 81 and the lifting baffles 61 to move relative to each other or away from each other through the support block 82. This allows the distance between the two lifting baffles 61 to be adjusted according to the diameter of the white wax insect egg sac, thus avoiding the white wax insect egg sac being squeezed due to the small distance between the two lifting baffles 61. At the same time, it can prevent the white wax insect egg sac from being squeezed due to the large distance between the two lifting baffles 61, which would result in more than one white wax insect egg sac entering the separation area and affect the number of white wax insect egg sacs that can be put into the non-woven bag.

[0077] In addition, an automatic control component (not shown in the figure) can be installed at the end of the double-headed screw 83. The automatic control component can monitor the diameter of the white wax insect egg sac in real time and adjust the spacing of the lifting baffle 61 in real time according to the diameter of the white wax insect egg sac, thereby realizing the function of automatic adjustment and improving efficiency.

[0078] In addition, the present invention also provides a bagging method for white wax insect egg sacs, comprising the following steps:

[0079] S1. Preparation: First, place the non-woven bag for holding the white wax insect egg sacs on the lower end of the guide tube 5, and put the white wax insect egg sacs that have been spread out into the holding hopper 2. Then, under the action of the dispersing strip 22, the white wax insect egg sacs are scattered into different feeding spaces.

[0080] S2, White wax insect egg sac discharge: Start the drive motor 26. The drive motor 26 drives the belt 24 and the first feeding tooth 25 on its outer wall to move counterclockwise in a circumferential direction through the rotating shaft 23, so that the first feeding tooth 25 pushes the white wax insect egg sac in the holding hopper 2 out to the discharge port.

[0081] At the same time, the rotating shaft 23 drives the linkage shaft 27 to rotate counterclockwise. The linkage shaft 27 drives the second feeding tooth 28 to rotate through the sleeve and pushes the white wax insect egg sac at the discharge port onto the discharge track 4, thereby ensuring that only one white wax insect egg sac can be pushed out at a time. This effectively avoids the white wax insect egg sac from accumulating on the discharge track 4 and easily falling off.

[0082] When the linkage shaft 27 rotates, it drives the conveyor belt 42 to move counterclockwise in a circumferential direction through the connecting shaft 41. The conveyor belt 42 drives the white wax insect egg sac downward through the protruding strip 43. In this way, the white wax insect egg sac is transported by the conveyor belt 42 in conjunction with the protruding strip 43, preventing the white wax insect egg sac from rolling downward on its own and causing impact that could damage the eggs.

[0083] S3. Receiving and separating white wax insect egg sacs: During the rotation of the connecting shaft 41, the crankshaft 64 is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the first bevel gear 67 and the second bevel gear 68. During the rotation of the crankshaft 64, the two lifting baffles 61 at its upper end are moved up and down alternately by the push-pull block 62, which separates the white wax insect egg sacs discharged on the discharge track 4. This allows the white wax insect egg sacs to be discharged one by one and enter the non-woven bag through the guide tube 5, avoiding collisions caused by multiple white wax insect egg sacs being discharged at the same time, which would affect the survival rate of the insect eggs inside.

[0084] S4. Counting the discharge of white wax insect egg sacs: When the lifting baffle 61 on the side away from the holding hopper 2 descends, it discharges the white wax insect egg sacs in the partition area. At the same time, the lifting baffle 61 drives the push-pull block 62 to descend and contact the touch switch. The electronic counter 73 counts once and transmits a signal to the controller 72. After a certain number of white wax insect egg sacs are discharged, the controller 72 controls the drive motor 26 to stop running. This ensures that a specified number of white wax insect egg sacs are contained in the non-woven bag, thereby ensuring the uniformity of air and light transmission of the white wax insect egg sacs in the non-woven bag and improving the hatching rate of the white wax insect egg sacs.

[0085] In addition, this application can also adaptively adjust the distance between the two lifting baffles 61 in the partition area away from the holding hopper 2. The specific steps are as follows: rotate the double-headed screw 83 and drive the two rectangular sleeves 81 and the lifting baffles 61 to move relative to each other or move away from each other through the support block 82. In this way, the distance between the two lifting baffles 61 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the white wax insect egg sac, thereby avoiding the counting deviation caused by the distance between the two lifting baffles 61 being too small or too large. This ensures that the specified number of white wax insect egg sacs are put into the non-woven bag according to the bagging requirements.
