Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of insect breeding equipment, and in particular relates to a high-speed environmental insect circulation breeding equipment. Background Art

[0002] Scavenging insect farming is an environmentally friendly agricultural activity that uses scavenging insects to process organic waste and convert it into high-value products. It mainly uses the biotransformation effect of these insects to convert organic matter into nutrient-rich products. At the same time, the insects themselves can also be used as a high-protein, high-fat feed for the breeding of chickens, fish, pigs, etc. This way of recycling resources is both environmentally friendly and economical, and has received widespread attention in the fields of aquaculture, organic agriculture and environmental protection.

[0003] At present, the breeding methods and equipment for carrion-feeding insects are relatively mature, and various forms of products can meet the needs of different types of insects and different breeding scales. The Chinese invention patent with application number 202410558843.7 discloses an environmental insect circulation breeding equipment, in which multiple breeding layers are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the breeding boxes are arranged horizontally at intervals in the breeding layers. The driving devices at both ends of the breeding layers are used to make the breeding boxes move in an S shape in the horizontal direction, and cooperate with the turning, storage and feeding devices to complete the feeding cycle. In order to ensure that the breeding boxes can circulate, a transmission device needs to be set between every two adjacent breeding layers. Due to the transmission efficiency of the transmission device, it is not advisable to set too many breeding layers, which will lead to limited breeding scale.

[0004] In order to make full use of the upper space of the breeding area, the Chinese invention patent with application number 202410307685.8 discloses an automated intelligent insect breeding equipment. By setting a circulating suspension mechanism, the breeding boxes are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and multiple groups of circulating suspension mechanisms circulate in the horizontal direction. In this way, only one set of transmission components is needed to drive the circulating suspension mechanism to move, which is conducive to expanding the scale of breeding.

[0005] With the continuous expansion of breeding scale, traditional turning, feeding and transferring devices can no longer meet the rapid production rhythm and need further improvement to improve work efficiency. At the same time, with the development of breeding diversity, the production cycles of different insects vary in length. For example, the growth cycle of maggot larvae is only 2-3 days. This requires the provision of a high-speed environmental insect circulation breeding equipment to achieve high-speed circulation of breeding boxes and avoid missing the best harvesting time of the larvae.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Example 1: Figure 1 As shown, a high-speed environmental insect circulation breeding equipment includes a frame 1, which is a frame structure spliced ​​by profiles, used to provide an installation interface to connect various working parts to form a whole, and the frame 1 is sequentially installed with a material pouring and filling assembly 2, a material box transfer assembly 3 and a hoisting breeding assembly 4 that cooperate with each other from one end.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the material pouring and filling assembly 2 is arranged at one end of the frame 1, including a flipping and pouring device 201, which is fixedly installed at the upper end of the frame 1, and an automatic filling device 202 is arranged below the flipping and pouring device 201, and the automatic filling device 202 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the frame 1, an upper conveying line 203 is arranged at the inlet end of the flipping and pouring device 201, and a lower conveying line 204 is arranged at the outlet end of the automatic filling device 202, and a vertical conveying device 205 is also vertically arranged on the outlet side of the flipping and pouring device 201, and the upper end of the vertical conveying device 205 is connected to the outlet of the flipping and pouring device 201, and the lower end is connected to the inlet of the automatic filling device 202.

[0026] Several material boxes are placed on the upper conveyor line 203 and the lower conveyor line 204 respectively. The upper conveyor line 203 includes a driving motor. The power output end of the driving motor is connected to the horizontal conveying device through a transmission device. The horizontal conveying device is in contact with the bottom of the material box. The driving motor outputs rotational power to drive the horizontal conveying device to move the material box in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the transmission device can adopt one of belt drive, chain drive or gear drive. Such structure is well known to those skilled in the art, and the specific implementation method will not be repeated here.

[0027] The lower conveying line 204 has the same structure as the upper conveying line 203 and has opposite conveying directions, and is used to realize the cyclic conveyance of the material boxes in the pouring and filling assembly 2.

[0028] The specific working process of the material pouring and filling assembly 2 is as follows: the material box that has completed the feeding process is sent to the flipping and pouring device 201 through the upper conveyor line 203, the flipping and pouring device 201 drives the material box to rotate 180°, and pours the material in the material box to the external material receiving device, and then the flipping and pouring device 201 drives the material box to rotate 180° again, and the empty material box is connected with the vertical conveying device 205 through the outlet of the flipping and pouring device 201, and is transported downward by the vertical conveying device 205 to reach the automatic filling device 202, and the automatic filling device 202 fills the insect larvae and feed to be raised into the empty material box, and transports the material box to the lower conveyor line 204.

[0029] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the flipping and unloading device 201 includes a flip shaft 2011, which is arranged perpendicular to the movement direction of the loading box of the upper conveyor line 203, and flip support plates 2012 are respectively provided at both ends of the flip shaft 2011. The flip shaft 2011 is rotatably installed on the flip support plate 2012, and the flip support plate 2012 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame 1.

[0030] Two receiving bins 2013 for placing material boxes are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the flip shaft 2011. The receiving bins 2013 can rotate on the flip support plate 2012 along with the flip shaft 2011 to realize the position interchange of the upper and lower receiving bins 2013. The first limiting devices 2019 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outlet and the inlet of the upper and lower receiving bins 2013 to ensure that the material boxes are accurately loaded into the receiving bins 2013 and will not slip and fall when the receiving bins 2013 are flipped.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first limit device 2019 includes a limit drive device and a limit plate fixedly mounted on the flip support plate 2012. The middle part of the limit plate is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft. One end of the limit plate is abutted against the limit drive device, and the other end is hung with a return spring. The limit drive device can be selected from a servo cylinder, a servo electric cylinder or a servo hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic end of the limit drive device extends to push the limit plate to rotate around the rotating shaft. When the limit is opened, the material box can move freely. The telescopic end of the limit drive device retracts, and the limit plate returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, thereby limiting the material box.

[0032] In addition to this embodiment, the first limiting device 2019 can also be selected from one of the other limiting devices in the prior art to limit the material box.

[0033] Specifically, when the upper storage bin 2013 is performing a material box loading operation, the first limit devices 2019 on both sides of the outlet of the storage bin 2013 return to their original positions, while the first limit devices 2019 on both sides of the entrance of the storage bin 2013 are opened, and the first material box enters from the entrance of the storage bin 2013 and cannot escape from the outlet of the storage bin 2013. After the loading operation of the first material box is completed, the first limit devices 2019 on both sides of the entrance of the storage bin 2013 return to their original positions, forming limits at both ends of the first material box, thereby ensuring that the first material box will not slip and fall when the storage bin 2013 is flipped over.

[0034] After flipping, the first material box is replaced to the lower layer, and the material in the first material box is dumped into the external material receiving device. At the same time, the lower storage bin 2013 is replaced to the upper layer and docked with the upper conveyor line 203, and the second material box is loaded. Then the upper and lower storage bins 2013 are flipped and exchanged again, and the second material box is replaced to the lower layer for material pouring operation.

[0035] At this time, the upper storage bin 2013 performs unloading operations of the first material box and loading operations of the third material box, that is, the first limiting devices 2019 on both sides of the outlet of the upper storage bin 2013 are opened, and the first material box escapes from the outlet of the storage bin 2013 and enters the vertical conveying device 205, and then the first limiting devices 2019 on both sides of the outlet of the upper storage bin 2013 return to their original positions, and the first limiting devices 2019 on both sides of the entrance of the storage bin 2013 are opened, completing the loading of the third material box, and repeating the cycle.

[0036] In order to further improve work efficiency, the overturning and unloading device 201 also includes a first driving device 2014 and a first conveying device 2015, which are used to replace manual operation and realize the automation of the overturning and unloading operation.

[0037] The first driving device 2014 includes a first driving motor fixedly mounted on the outside of the flip support plate 2012. The power output end of the first driving motor is connected to one end of the flip shaft 2011 through a transmission device. The first driving motor drives the flip shaft 2011 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation and interchange of the upper and lower accommodating chambers 2013.

[0038] The first conveying device 2015 includes a first conveying motor fixedly installed on the outside of the flip support plate 2012, and first conveying rollers are also arranged in parallel on both sides of the flip shaft 2011. The first conveying motor is connected to the first conveying roller through a transmission device. The first conveying motor drives the first conveying roller to rotate, and then drives the material box placed on the first conveying roller to move horizontally, thereby assisting in loading and unloading the material box.

[0039] In this embodiment, the transmission devices of the first driving device 2014 and the first conveying device 2015 can adopt one of belt transmission, chain transmission or gear transmission. Such structures are well known to those skilled in the art, and the specific implementation will not be repeated here.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the vertical conveying device 205 includes a vertical driving device 2051, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 1. The power output end of the vertical driving device 2051 is transmission-connected with an upper driving shaft 2053. Two upper driving shafts 2053 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the frame 1. Two lower driving shafts 2054 are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the frame 1 corresponding to the positions of the upper driving shafts 2053. Vertical conveying chains 2052 are transmission-mounted on the upper driving shaft 2053 and the lower driving shaft 2054. The two vertical conveying chains 2052 are arranged in parallel in the up and down directions. A plurality of layer plates are fixedly mounted on the vertical conveying chains 2052. The layer plates on the two groups of vertical conveying chains 2052 cooperate with each other for placing material boxes.

[0041] In this embodiment, the vertical drive device 2051 is a combination of a motor and a reduction gearbox. The reduction gearbox is used to reduce the speed and increase the torque of the power output by the motor, and change the transmission direction to facilitate the arrangement of other transmission components. The vertical drive device 2051 outputs rotational power to drive the vertical conveyor chain 2052 to move in the up and down directions, driving the material boxes on the shelf to move downward, and transporting the empty material boxes that have completed the emptying downward to the automatic filling device 202.

[0042] like Figure 6-7As shown, the automatic filling device 202 is provided with a feed delivery device 2021 and an insect delivery device 2029 in sequence along the moving direction of the material box, which are used to deliver feed and insect larvae into the material box respectively. One end of the feed delivery device 2021 is connected to an external feeding device, and the other end is a manifold structure. The end of the manifold is a discharge port, and a material box is placed below the discharge port. A plurality of discharge ports arranged at intervals can lay the feed in strips in the material box, reserving space for insects to move and breathe. At the same time, the manifold has a simple structure, which can effectively prevent internal blockage and reduce maintenance costs.

[0043] A closing plate 2022 is respectively provided on both sides of the discharge port, and the lower end of the closing plate 2022 is aligned with the discharge port and bent inward, and a group of third driving devices 2023 are respectively provided on the outer sides of the two closing plates 2022, and the installation position of the third driving device 2023 corresponds to the lower end of the closing plate 2022. The third driving device 2023 can be selected from a servo cylinder, a servo electric cylinder or a servo hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic end of the third driving device 2023 extends out to push the lower ends of the two closing plates 2022 closer to each other, and the discharge port is closed; the telescopic end of the third driving device 2023 retracts and detaches from the lower ends of the two closing plates 2022, the two closing plates 2022 are in a free state, and the discharge port is opened.

[0044] In this embodiment, a support plate is fixedly mounted on the feed delivery device 2021, and the upper end of the closing plate 2022 is hinged to the support plate and rotates around the hinge axis under the drive of the third driving device 2023 to achieve the approach or distance between the two closing plates 2022.

[0045] A sliding beam 2024 is also provided above the feed delivery device 2021, and both ends of the sliding beam 2024 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1. A fourth driving device 2025 is slidably connected to the sliding beam 2024, and the fourth driving device 2025 is fixedly connected to the feed delivery device 2021. In this embodiment, a rack is provided on the sliding beam 2024, and the fourth driving device 2025 includes a servo motor, and a gear is installed at the power output end of the servo motor. The gear is meshed with the rack on the sliding beam 2024. When working, the servo motor outputs rotational power to drive the gear to rotate, and further drives the feed delivery device 2021 to move along the rack on the sliding beam 2024, so that the feed is evenly laid on the bottom of the feed box.

[0046] In addition to this embodiment, the connection method between the fourth driving device 2025 and the sliding beam 2024 can also be a worm gear structure or a screw nut structure, which is used to convert the circular motion output by the fourth driving device 2025 into linear motion.

[0047] Limit sensors 2026 are fixedly installed at both ends of the sliding beam 2024. The limit sensors 2026 are proximity sensors. When the feed delivery device 2021 moves to the end of the sliding beam 2024, the limit sensor 2026 sends a signal to the external control system. The control system controls the servo motor of the fourth drive device 2025 to reverse, thereby driving the feed delivery device 2021 to move in the opposite direction.

[0048] When the weight of the feed in the feed box reaches the set value, the external control device receives the signal and controls the telescopic end of the third drive device 2023 to extend, driving the two closing plates 2022 to approach the discharge port until the discharge port is closed, completing the quantitative feeding operation.

[0049] After the feed is delivered, the feed box is conveyed to the bottom of the insect delivery device 2029. The insect delivery device 2029 is a prior art, including a transfer box conveying device. The conveying direction of the transfer box conveying device is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the lower conveyor line 204. A claw is provided on the transfer box conveying device at a position corresponding to the position of the lower conveyor line 204. One end of the claw is connected to a box turning device. When working, the transfer box conveying device conveys the transfer box containing insect larvae to the top of the feed box, the claw clamps the transfer box, and the box turning device drives the transfer box to flip, and the insect larvae are delivered to the feed box.

[0050] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the high-speed environmental insect circulation breeding equipment described in the present invention also includes a material box transfer assembly 3, and the material box transfer assembly 3 includes a material box cache device 301 and a sliding transfer device 302. The material box cache device 301 is fixedly installed at one end of the middle part of the frame 1 close to the pouring and filling assembly 2, and the sliding transfer device 302 is fixedly installed at one end of the middle part of the frame 1 close to the hoisting breeding assembly 4. The two cooperate to realize the transfer of the material box between the pouring and filling assembly 2 and the hoisting breeding assembly 4.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, the material box cache device 301 includes an upper cache rack 3011 and a lower cache rack 3014. A plurality of material boxes are evenly spaced on the upper cache rack 3011 in the up and down directions. The lower cache rack 3014 and the upper cache rack 3011 have the same structure and are arranged up and down, and are movably installed on the frame 1 respectively. In this embodiment, guide wheels are fixedly installed on the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014, and guide rails are fixedly provided on the frame 1 at positions corresponding to the positions of the guide wheels. The guide wheels slide along the guide rails to ensure that the moving directions of the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014 are not offset.

[0052] The upper cache rack 3011 moves up and down with the upper conveyor line 203 as the midpoint of the motion range, that is, when the upper cache rack 3011 moves to the upper limit position, the height position of the bottom layer of the material box on the upper cache rack 3011 is aligned with the height position of the upper conveyor line 203, and when the upper cache rack 3011 moves to the lower limit position, the height position of the top layer of the material box on the upper cache rack 3011 is aligned with the height position of the upper conveyor line 203, ensuring that every material box on the upper cache rack 3011 can be conveyed to the upper conveyor line 203; similarly, the lower cache rack 3014 moves up and down with the lower conveyor line 204 as the midpoint of the motion range, ensuring that every material box on the lower cache rack 3014 can be conveyed to the lower conveyor line 204.

[0053] The movement ranges of the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014 are independent of each other, and the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014 are respectively connected to the cache drive device 3012 for driving the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014 to move in the up and down directions on the rack 1 without interfering with each other. The cache drive device 3012 is fixedly installed on the rack 1.

[0054] The structure of the cache drive device 3012 is the same as that of the vertical drive device 2051 , and the drive motor drives the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014 to move through the transmission device.

[0055] In order to ensure smooth transportation of the material boxes on the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014, the material box cache device 301 also includes two second conveying devices 3013, which are fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and are aligned with the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014 in the horizontal direction, and are aligned with the upper conveyor line 203 and the lower conveyor line 204 in the height direction. The structure of the second conveying device 3013 is the same as that of the upper conveyor line 203, and the two second conveying devices 3013 are used for horizontally transporting the material boxes on the upper cache rack 3011 and the lower cache rack 3014, respectively.

[0056] The specific working steps of the material box buffer device 301 are: Initially, the upper cache rack 3011 is located at the upper end of its moving range, and the cache drive device 3012 corresponding to the upper cache rack 3011 is actuated to drive the upper cache rack 3011 to move downward. The material boxes on the bottom layer of the upper cache rack 3011 first contact the second conveying device 3013 and are horizontally conveyed to the upper conveyor line 203. As the upper cache rack 3011 moves downward, the material boxes thereon are conveyed to the upper conveyor line 203 in turn.

[0057] Corresponding to the upper cache rack 3011, initially, the lower cache rack 3014 is located at the lower end of its moving range, and the cache drive device 3012 corresponding to the lower cache rack 3014 is actuated to drive the lower cache rack 3014 to move upward, and the material boxes on the lower conveyor line 204 are first conveyed to the top layer of the lower cache rack 3014 by the second conveying device 3013. As the lower cache rack 3014 moves upward, the material boxes on the lower conveyor line 204 are conveyed to the lower cache rack 3014 in turn.

[0058] like Figure 9-10 As shown, the sliding transfer device 302 includes a translation bracket 3021, which is slidably installed on the frame 1. The translation bracket 3021 is transmission-connected with a translation drive device 3022, and the translation drive device 3022 is used to drive the translation bracket 3021 to move horizontally on the frame 1. A transfer bracket 3023 is slidably installed on the translation bracket 3021, and the transfer bracket 3023 is transmission-connected with a transfer drive device 3024, and the transfer drive device 3024 is used to drive the transfer bracket 3023 to move vertically on the translation bracket 3021.

[0059] The translation drive device 3022 and the transfer drive device 3024 are both fixedly mounted on the frame 1 . The structure of the translation drive device 3022 is the same as that of the fourth drive device 2025 , and the structure of the transfer drive device 3024 is the same as that of the vertical drive device 2051 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the connection method between the translation bracket 3021 and the frame 1 can be one of a gear rack structure, a worm gear structure, and a screw nut structure, which is used to convert the rotational power output by the translation drive device 3022 into horizontal power to drive the translation bracket 3021 to move horizontally.

[0061] In this embodiment, a guide wheel is fixedly installed on the transfer bracket 3023, and a guide rail is provided at a corresponding position on the translation bracket 3021. The guide wheel and the guide rail cooperate with each other to enable the transfer bracket 3023 to move vertically along the translation bracket 3021.

[0062] The transfer bracket 3023 is provided with a plurality of third conveying devices 3025 for placing and transferring material boxes. The structure of the third conveying devices 3025 is the same as that of the upper conveyor line 203. The number of the third conveying devices 3025 is the same as the number of material boxes placed on the upper cache rack 3011. The plurality of third conveying devices 3025 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the vertical direction. The interval between two adjacent third conveying devices 3025 corresponds to the interval between two adjacent layers of material boxes on the upper cache rack 3011. This ensures that the upper cache rack 3011 or the lower cache rack 3014 can be filled or emptied in one transfer to avoid wasting time.

[0063] Initially, the translation bracket 3021 is located in the middle of the horizontal movement range, and the specific working steps of the sliding transfer device 302 are: S1: The translation drive device 3022 drives the translation bracket 3021 to move horizontally, driving the transfer bracket 3023 to move closer to the hoisting breeding assembly 4, until the third conveying device 3025 extends into the bottom of the material box on the hoisting breeding assembly 4, and the third conveying device 3025 drives the material box on the hoisting breeding assembly 4 that has completed the breeding work to move horizontally, so that the material box is separated from the hoisting breeding assembly 4, and the translation bracket 3021 drives the transfer bracket 3023 to move horizontally back to the middle position; S2: The transfer drive device 3024 works to drive the transfer bracket 3023 to move up and down until it is aligned with the upper buffer rack 3011; S3: The translation drive device 3022 drives the translation bracket 3021 to move horizontally, driving the transfer bracket 3023 to move closer to the upper buffer shelf 3011, until the third conveying device 3025 extends into the upper buffer shelf 3011, and the third conveying device 3025 drives the material box on the transfer bracket 3023 to move horizontally, so that the material box is loaded into the upper buffer shelf 3011, and the translation bracket 3021 drives the transfer bracket 3023 to move horizontally back to the middle position; S4: The transfer drive device 3024 works to drive the transfer bracket 3023 to move downward until it is aligned with the lower buffer rack 3014; S5: The translation drive device 3022 drives the translation bracket 3021 to move horizontally, driving the transfer bracket 3023 to move closer to the lower buffer rack 3014, until the third conveying device 3025 extends into the lower buffer rack 3014, and the third conveying device 3025 drives the material box on the lower buffer rack 3014 to move horizontally, so that the material box is separated from the lower buffer rack 3014, and the translation bracket 3021 drives the transfer bracket 3023 to move horizontally back to the middle position; S6: The transfer drive device 3024 works, driving the transfer bracket 3023 to move up and down until it is aligned with the vacant position on the hoisting breeding assembly 4; S7: The translation drive device 3022 drives the translation bracket 3021 to move horizontally, driving the transfer bracket 3023 to approach the hoisting breeding assembly 4 until the third conveying device 3025 extends into the hoisting breeding assembly 4. The third conveying device 3025 drives the material box to move horizontally, so that the material box is loaded into the vacant position of the hoisting breeding assembly 4. The translation bracket 3021 drives the transfer bracket 3023 to move horizontally back to the middle position.

[0064] The material box transmitted from the lower conveyor line 204 is transferred to the hoisting breeding assembly 4 via the sliding transfer device 302. The hoisting breeding assembly 4 drives the material box to move in a cycle, completes the cycle and returns to the starting point within one breeding cycle, and then the sliding transfer device 302 transfers the material box to the material pouring and filling assembly 2.

[0065] like Figure 11-12 As shown, one end of the hoisting and breeding assembly 4 close to the sliding transfer device 302 is rotatably provided with a circulating active wheel group 403, and correspondingly, the other end of the hoisting and breeding assembly 4 is rotatably provided with a circulating passive wheel group 404. The circulating passive wheel group 404 has the same structure as the circulating active wheel group 403, and is arranged in the vertical direction and passes through the upper and lower ends of the hoisting and breeding assembly 4. The upper and lower ends of the circulating active wheel group 403 are transmission-connected with an upper conveying chain 405 and a lower conveying chain 406, and the output end of the circulating active wheel group 403 is transmission-connected with the circulating passive wheel group 404 through the upper conveying chain 405 and the lower conveying chain 406. After installation, the upper conveying chain 405 and the lower conveying chain 406 become an ellipse similar to a runway.

[0066] A hanging breeding rack 401 is suspended on the upper conveyor chain 405, and a number of material boxes are evenly spaced on the hanging breeding rack 401. The hanging breeding rack 401 is a rectangular frame extending in the up and down directions, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the lower conveyor chain 406. The upper conveyor chain 405 and the lower conveyor chain 406 move synchronously, driving the hanging breeding rack 401 to move along the circulation path to avoid shaking of the hanging breeding rack 401 during the movement.

[0067] The hoisting breeding assembly 4 is also provided with two sets of upper and lower automatic righting devices 407 at one end close to the sliding transfer device 302, which are used to right and position the hoisting breeding rack 401 when the sliding transfer device 302 takes in and puts in the material box.

[0068] The automatic righting device 407 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the installation positions of the automatic righting device 407 correspond to the four vertices of the hoisting breeding rack 401. In the present embodiment, the automatic righting device 407 can be selected from an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and its telescopic end extends out to contact the hoisting breeding rack 401. Two sets of automatic righting devices 407 act simultaneously to push the four vertices of the hoisting breeding rack 401 to right the hoisting breeding rack 401.

[0069] The input end of the circulating active wheel group 403 is transmission-connected with a circulating driving device 402, and the circulating driving device 402 is transmission-connected with the circulating active wheel group 403 through a transmission device. The circulating driving device 402 outputs rotational power when it works, and drives the circulating active wheel group 403 and the circulating passive wheel group 404 to rotate through the transmission device, thereby driving the upper conveying chain 405 and the lower conveying chain 406 to move in a circulation.

[0070] In this embodiment, the circulating drive device 402 is a combination of a motor and a reduction gearbox. The reduction gearbox is used to reduce the speed and increase the torque of the power output by the motor and change the transmission direction to facilitate the arrangement of other transmission components. The transmission device can adopt one of belt drive, chain drive or gear drive. Such structures are well known to those skilled in the art, and the specific implementation will not be repeated here.

[0071] In order to further improve the stability of the cyclic movement of the hoisting breeding rack 401, guide wheels are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the hoisting breeding rack 401, and guide rails are fixedly installed at the positions corresponding to the guide wheels on the frame 1. The shape of the guide rails is adapted to the movement trajectory of the upper conveying chain 405 and the lower conveying chain 406. The guide wheels slide on the guide rails to avoid path deviation during the cyclic movement of the hoisting breeding rack 401.

[0072] Example 2: Fig.13 As shown, a high-speed environmental insect circulation breeding equipment is described based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 lies in that the outer sides of the two flip support plates 2012 of the flipping and pouring device 201 are also fixedly installed with second driving devices 2016, and the free ends of the second driving devices 2016 are fixedly connected with locking devices 2017.

[0073] In this embodiment, the second driving device 2016 can adopt one of an electric push rod, a cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder. The locking device 2017 is a horizontal bar that runs through the two flip support plates 2012. The two ends of the locking device 2017 are respectively fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two second driving devices 2016. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic ends of the second driving devices 2016, the locking device 2017 is driven to move up and down to achieve the locking or release of the flip shaft 2011.

[0074] When loading and unloading the material box, it is necessary to ensure that the accommodating bin 2013 is always in a horizontal state. At this time, the telescopic end of the second drive device 2016 moves, driving the locking device 2017 to move downward to lock the flip shaft 2011; when the material box needs to be flipped, the telescopic end of the second drive device 2016 moves in the opposite direction to release the lock on the flip shaft 2011.

[0075] In order to realize the automatic action of the second driving device 2016, the flipping and unloading device 201 also includes a locking sensing device 2018. In the present embodiment, the locking sensing device 2018 is a photoelectric switch for sensing whether the storage bin 2013 is in a horizontal state and transmitting a signal to the control device. The control device controls the action of the second driving device 2016 to lock the flipping axis 2011.

[0076] The locking sensing device 2018 includes a signal transmitter and a signal receiver, which are respectively installed on the flip support plates 2012 on both sides. The signal transmitter continuously sends out a light source signal, and the flip shaft 2011 drives the accommodating bin 2013 to rotate, thereby realizing intermittent blocking of the light source signal. The state of the signal receiver receiving the light source signal also shows intermittent changes. The control system determines whether the accommodating bin 2013 is in a horizontal state through the change of the signal, and then controls the action of the second driving device 2016.

[0077] Example 3: Fig.14 As shown, based on a high-speed environmental insect circulation breeding equipment according to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the difference between embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 lies in that a positioning rack 2028 is further provided on the sliding beam 2024, and positioning notches are evenly spaced on the positioning rack 2028, and a positioning sensor 2027 is fixedly installed on the feed delivery device 2021, and the position of the positioning sensor 2027 corresponds to the positioning rack 2028. The positioning sensor 2027 is a proximity sensor, which is used to cooperate with the positioning notch on the positioning rack 2028 to accurately calculate the position of the feed delivery device 2021 on the sliding beam 2024. In this way, when the number of insects raised in the feed box is small, the feed delivery device 2021 can be controlled to deliver feed in a part of the feed box, so as to avoid feed waste and save breeding costs.

[0078] For those skilled in the art, according to the teachings of the present invention, without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the implementation methods are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
