Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of separation devices, and more specifically to a light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting device, system and application. Background Art

[0002] Earthworms are a common type of terrestrial annelid that lives in the soil. They hide during the day and come out at night to feed on livestock and poultry manure and organic waste garbage, swallowing them together with soil. They also eat rotten stems and leaves of plants and other debris. Earthworms have the effects of loosening and improving the soil, increasing fertility, and promoting agricultural production. Earthworm bodies can be used to breed aquatic livestock and poultry, can be used as medicine, can be used to prepare foliar fertilizers, health liquids and cosmetics, and earthworm castings can be used to prepare organic fertilizers, animal feeds and edible fungus cultivation materials. Therefore, the separation and harvesting of earthworms is a key link in earthworm farming. At present, people only pay attention to the farming of earthworms and ignore the separation and harvesting of adults, resulting in low farming efficiency.

[0003] Earthworm separation is the process of separating adult earthworms from earthworm castings, residual substrate, larvae and eggs by certain means to finally obtain earthworm products. It is the most important link in earthworm farming. Traditional earthworm separation technology uses rough turning over, sifting, forced separation of earthworm soil and earthworm castings. These processes or manual operations will expose earthworms to the outside for a long time, and the separation process will cause great damage to earthworms. If earthworms continue to be used, there will be a long recovery period and low work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to develop a separation device and system that can interact with earthworms and machines, separate earthworms naturally, and does not harm the earthworms is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a light-sensitive earthworm-machine interactive separation and harvesting equipment, system and application, which combines the harvesting equipment with the light-sensitive earthworm-driving equipment, utilizes the earthworm's backlight property, and uses optical fibers to introduce the light source into the soil layer, thereby stimulating the earthworm's avoidance reaction and moving the earthworms to the bottom of the soil layer, forming an earthworm-machine interaction, and naturally separating the earthworms and the soil. Compared with traditional earthworm separation equipment, it is more efficient, safer, and does not hurt the earthworms.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The light-sensing earthworm-repelling device is provided with a light source, which stimulates the earthworms' downward avoidance reaction through the earthworms' light sensitivity, thereby achieving the separation of the earthworms and the materials and the harvesting.

[0009] Furthermore, the light-sensitive earthworm-repelling device further comprises a rolling cage, an axle head seat and a bearing; the axle head seat and the bearing are arranged at the center of the circular cross section of the rolling cage, so that the rolling cage passes through the bearing and rolls around the axle head seat as the center;

[0041] The light source 21 is a 100-200W 760 nanometer light lamp;

[0042] The light-sensitive earthworm-repelling device 2 also includes a rolling cage 22, an axle head seat 23 and a bearing 24; the axle head seat 23 and the bearing 24 are arranged at the center of the circular cross section of the rolling cage, so that the rolling cage 22 passes through the bearing 24 and rolls around the axle head seat 23 as the center;

[0043] The rolling cage 22 is a PVC cylinder with a wall thickness of 5 mm;

[0044] The light source 21 is disposed inside the rolling cage 22 ; a light column 25 is disposed on the outer wall of the rolling cage 22 .

[0045] The shaft head seat 23 is a hollow shaft head seat; the light source 21 can be fixed on the hollow shaft head seat.

[0046] The harvesting equipment 1 includes a harvesting box 11, a harvesting impeller 12, a roller conveyor belt 13 and a conveying auger 14; the harvesting impeller 12, the roller conveyor belt 13 and the conveying auger 14 are connected to each other, and the harvesting impeller 12 transfers the harvested materials to the roller conveyor belt 13, and the conveying auger 14 transfers the harvested materials to the harvesting box 11.

[0047] The harvesting device 1 is also provided with a lifting device 15 to adjust the height of the harvesting device and to harvest materials at different levels.

[0048] The liftable device 15 is a lift gear and a lift rack.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a culture and harvesting integrated device comprises a culture bed 4 and the above-mentioned light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting device; the culture bed 4 comprises a bed frame 41, a trough 42 and a track 43, and the trough 42 is fixed on the bed frame 41;

[0051] The tracks 43 are two tubular tracks, which are arranged above the bed frame 41 and the trough body 42 and are integrally formed with the bed frame 41 ; the light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting equipment moves along the tracks 43 above the trough body 42 .

[0052] The light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting device is also provided with a track wheel 44, which moves above the tank body 42 along the track 43;

[0053] There are four track wheels, including two passive wheels and two driving wheels.

[0054] Working principles of the light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting equipment and the integrated cultivation and harvesting device:

[0055] The material to be cultured is placed in the tank of the culture bed for culture. After the culture is completed, the harvesting device 1 runs on the track 43 at a constant speed under the drive of the track wheel. The light-sensing earthworm-driving device 2 is placed on the top layer of the culture material in the tank 42. The rolling cage 22 is built with a 100-200W 760 nanometer light lamp, the outer wall of the rolling cage 22 is provided with a 5mm diameter 20mm exposed optical fiber column, the harvesting equipment 1 pushes the light-sensitive earthworm driving equipment 2 forward through the connecting rod 3, and the 760 nanometer light lamp in the rolling cage 22 is in a lit state during the movement. The light emitted by the 760 nanometer spectrum has extremely strong penetrability, which is also the spectral range that earthworms are most sensitive to. The light is introduced into the soil layer through the light column 25, and the soil layer has a depth of 3-5cm and the earthworms will actively drill down to avoid it out of stress response after sensing it. When the harvesting impeller 12 moves to the light-sensitive earthworm driving equipment 2 passing area after 30 seconds, the earthworms have drilled under the 3mm soil layer. The harvesting impeller 12 removes 3cm thick culture materials during the movement and transmits the culture materials to the conveying auger 14 through the roller conveyor belt 13. The auger's rotating wings transmit the culture materials to the synchronously running harvesting box 11.

[0056] The light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting equipment will move down 3cm into the soil layer each time it moves back and forth. When it reaches the earthworm avoidance limit, the light-sensing earthworm machine interactive separation and harvesting equipment will stop working and continue to add new materials to the culture bed for the next cycle of culture and harvesting.
