Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of firefly breeding equipment, and in particular to a nutrient delivery device and method for firefly breeding. Background Art

[0002] The breeding of terrestrial firefly larvae involves several key links, including preliminary preparation, nutrition supply, environmental management, growth monitoring and pupation treatment, as well as the maintenance and display of adults. Traditionally, terrestrial firefly larvae mainly feed on mollusks such as snails. However, in order to meet the different needs of breeders or solve specific problems, such as the diversity or convenience of food supply, other alternative food sources can be tried, such as chicken puree. Before introducing a new type of food, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale trial to carefully observe the firefly larvae's acceptance of the new food and their growth and development.

[0003] In existing feeding techniques, food is usually provided on a fixed plate, which may result in uneaten food residues remaining. Since the humidity in the environment where fireflies live is high, these residues are prone to spoilage and may endanger the health of fireflies. Especially under laboratory conditions, when using food that is prone to mold, such as chicken paste, uneaten food must be cleaned up daily to prevent contamination, which undoubtedly increases the workload of daily maintenance. Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to propose a nutrient delivery device and method for firefly breeding. Summary of the invention

[0010] More preferably, the flushing mechanism also includes fixed plates arranged at intervals inside the water tank, the fixed plates are adapted to the layout and number of the through holes, and guide rods are slidably arranged through the fixed plates, the bottom ends of the guide rods are connected to plugs that match the through holes directly below, for controlling the flow of water in the corresponding through holes, an elastic member is arranged between the plugs and the corresponding fixed plates, a motor is installed on one side of the scraper, a connecting shaft is rotatably arranged between the two sides of the bottom of the water tank, the ends of the connecting shaft are connected to the output shaft of the motor, cams consistent with the layout of the plugs are arranged at intervals on the connecting shaft, and the cams are in contact and cooperate with the plugs located directly above.

[0011] More preferably, a water collecting frame is also included. A water collecting frame connected to both sides of the discharge plate is arranged on the front side of the breeding box to collect and discharge the water flow after flushing.

[0012] More preferably, it also includes gears, and a wiping roller with a bottom in contact with the discharge plate is rotatably arranged between the two sides of the scraper, and the axial end of the wiping roller and the output shaft of the motor are connected with gears. The gears on both sides are meshed to drive the wiping roller to rotate, and an extrusion plate is also provided on the sliding door to be in extrusion contact with the wiping roller to squeeze and discharge moisture.

[0013] More preferably, it also includes a gusset plate, which is arranged on both sides of the assembly plate, and a meat collecting frame is connected to the front side of the assembly plate. The highest point of the meat collecting frame is lower than the lowest point of the discharge plate, and a guide sleeve is respectively arranged on both sides of the meat collecting frame. The guide sleeve is rotatably provided with a clamping rod which engages with the gusset plate on the same side to fix the position of the meat collecting frame.

[0014] More preferably, it also includes an extraction pump, which is installed at the bottom of the water tank, and the water inlet of the extraction pump is connected to the water tank.

[0015] More preferably, it also includes lighting lamps, and the grille covers are provided with lighting lamps for aquaculture.

[0016] A method for delivering nutrition for firefly breeding comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1. Open the grille cover, place the fireflies to be cultured in the culture box, and apply the meat paste required for culture on the feeding plate;

[0018] S2. When the meat paste needs to be replaced, the electric push rod is started to push the assembly plate and the discharge plate forward. The protruding rod slides along the inclined plate and then moves to the bottom of the corresponding abutment plate and abuts against it, thereby lifting the guide rail, scraper and sliding door, so that the bottom of the scraper is kept at a distance from the discharge plate in the process of moving forward, until the protruding rod moves forward to the end of the position below the abutment plate. Due to the distance between the abutment plate and the guide rail, the protruding rod releases the abutment restriction with the abutment plate, causing the guide rail to slide down due to gravity, and then the protruding rod moves to the top of the abutment plate. The scraper and the sliding door slide down, and then the scraper fits with the discharge plate, and then the telescopic end of the electric push rod retracts, thereby driving the discharge plate to move backward, and the convex rod is located above the abutment plate and slides backward along the guide rail, and the scraper scrapes the residual meat paste on the surface of the discharge plate synchronously, and then the scraped meat paste accumulates and falls into the meat collecting frame, until the convex rod contacts and squeezes the inclined plate, forcing the inclined plate to tilt and rotate downward, so that the convex rod returns to the original position of the guide rail, thereby completing the scraping of the residual material on the discharge plate;

[0019] S3. During the process of scraping the residual material, the motor synchronously drives the connecting shaft and the cam to rotate, and the cam strikes the plug directly above, so that the through hole of the water storage tank is intermittently opened, and then the water in the water storage tank is discharged from the through hole of the water storage tank through the connecting pipe, and then flows down to the discharge plate, flushing and assisting the scraper to scrape the residual material;

[0020] S4, as the motor drives, the gear on it is driven to mesh with the gear on the wiping roller, so that the wiping roller rotates, thereby wiping the water stains on the discharge plate, and at the same time, the squeezing plate squeezes the water on the wiping roller to discharge, and the excess accumulated water flows down into the water collecting frame and is discharged;

[0021] S5. Finally, you can apply new meat paste to the cleaned feed plate. According to the needs, you can also choose to use a lighting lamp for lighting, or start the extraction pump and use the spray hood to spray water and humidify the breeding box.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention utilizes an electric push rod to drive the discharge plate to move forward and backward, and cooperates with the scraper on the sliding door to automatically remove the meat paste and other materials remaining on the discharge plate each time the meat paste is replaced. This not only reduces the need for manual cleaning, but also avoids the corruption problem that may be caused by the meat paste residue.

[0023] 2. The present invention integrates the design of a flushing mechanism and a wiping roller, which can thoroughly clean the discharge plate after scraping off the residual meat paste, and absorb the surface moisture with the help of the rotating action of the wiping roller, ensuring that the discharge plate always remains clean and residue-free, maintaining a high standard of sanitary environment.

[0024] 3. The present invention adopts the cooperation mechanism of cam and plug to accurately control the water output during the flushing process, effectively assisting the scraper to complete the cleaning task in a way of minimizing water consumption, thereby realizing an efficient and water-saving discharge plate cleaning process.

[0038] Embodiment: A nutrient delivery device for firefly breeding, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0039] The breeding box 1 is a container carrier for breeding fireflies, which is used to accommodate the cultivated fireflies. A rectangular feeding port is opened on the front side of the breeding box 1, and a grille cover 11 is hingedly provided symmetrically front and back on the top of the breeding box 1. The grille cover 11 has a breathable grid, which can ensure that the breeding environment of the terrestrial firefly larvae meets the requirements;

[0040] The sliding door 2 is slidably arranged in the feeding port of the breeding box 1. The sliding door 2 can slide in the up and down directions, and the overall size is adapted to the size of the feeding port, so as to close the feeding port. A mounting frame 21 is fixedly arranged in the breeding box 1, and an electric push rod 22 with a telescopic end facing forward is fixedly installed in the mounting frame 21. An assembly plate 23 is connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 22. The top position of the assembly plate 23 exceeds the upper edge of the mounting frame 22, ensuring sufficient subsequent operating space, and a discharge plate 24 extending into the breeding box 1 is connected to the rear side of the assembly plate 23, so that the discharge plate 24 shows a tendency to extend backward as a whole. When the electric push rod 22 is not driven, the discharge plate 24 can stably maintain the state of extending into the breeding box 1, thereby facilitating the subsequent delivery of meat paste and ensuring the smooth supply of feed during the firefly breeding process. Compared with the traditional fixed plate feeding, the overall operation is more convenient, effectively reducing the operating burden of personnel;

[0041] The scraping mechanism 3 is arranged on the sliding door 2 and is used to scrape off the residual meat paste. The scraping mechanism 3 includes a scraper 31 fixedly arranged on the sliding door 2. There is a gap between the rear side of the scraper 31 and the sliding door 2, so as to provide necessary operating space for the subsequent process, and the front side of the bottom end of the scraper 31 is in the shape of a convex plate inclined downward, so as to ensure that when the scraper 31 contacts the discharge plate 24, the convex plate-shaped inclination angle can effectively assist in removing the residual meat paste, promote the thorough scraping of the residual material, and facilitate the subsequent collection and cleaning work. The left and right sides of the scraper 31 are fixedly provided with a forward extending The guide rails 32 are all located at the lower position of the scraper 31, and the opposite sides of the guide rails 32 are provided with chambers. A front-to-back abutment plate 33 is provided in the middle position of the chamber of the guide rail 32. The abutment plate 33 divides the corresponding chamber into two upper and lower compartments. There are gaps between the front and rear ends of the abutment plate 33 and the inner wall of the chamber of the corresponding guide rail 32. An inclined plate 34 is hingedly provided at the rear end of the abutment plate 33. A torsion spring is provided between the inclined plate 34 and the corresponding abutment plate 33. Under the action of the torsion spring, the end of the inclined plate 34 initially maintains a state of being attached to the upper inner wall of the corresponding chamber (see Figure 4 ) so that the rear channels of the upper and lower compartments are closed and can only operate toward the front, providing necessary path support for subsequent operations, and protruding rods 35 are fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the front of the discharge plate 24, and the protruding rods 35 are embedded in the cavity of the guide rail 32 on the same side and slide together, so that the protruding rods 35 can slide along the corresponding guide rail 32 cavity in the front and rear directions, and due to the special structure of the abutment plate 33 and the inclined plate 34, the protruding rods 35 will also form abutment and sliding cooperation with the abutment plate 33 and the inclined plate 34 on the same side.

[0042] Specifically, since the scraper 31 in the initial state maintains a contact state with the discharge plate 24 (see Figure 3), when it is necessary to clean the feeding plate 24 after the feeding is completed, it is necessary to ensure that the scraper plate 31 can maintain a distance from the feeding plate 24 when it moves forward for processing, so as to make room for the residual meat paste to move. Therefore, the design of the inclined plate 34 is adopted, so that when the feeding plate 24 and the protruding rod 35 move forward as a whole, the inclined trend of the inclined plate 34 can be utilized, and the protruding rod 35 can slide against the bottom surface of the inclined plate 34 and the abutting plate 33, thereby following the position of the lifting scraper plate 31, ensuring that the feeding plate 24 moves out smoothly until the protruding rod 35 moves to the front end of the abutting plate 33. Under the influence of gravity, the interval provides space for the protruding rod 35 to move upward, so that the guide rail 32 releases the abutment restriction and falls smoothly, and the scraper plate 31 moves down synchronously until it fits with the feeding plate 24, so that the protruding rod 35 is located above the abutting plate 33 and starts to move backward and reset, thereby The scraper 31 is used to scrape off the residual material on the discharge plate 24 to achieve automated processing of the residual material; at the same time, the protruding rod 35 will finally move to the rear end of the abutment plate 33, so that the protruding rod 35 will move accordingly and come into contact with the inclined plate 34, thereby squeezing the inclined plate 34 to rotate downward, and the torsion spring will deform accordingly, so that the end of the inclined plate 34 will be separated from the fit between the upper inner wall of the chamber, thereby leaving space for the protruding rod 35 to continue to move backward, and when the protruding rod 35 is separated from the inclined plate 34, the squeezing of the inclined plate 34 and the torsion spring can be released, so that the inclined plate 34 is reset under the elastic force of the torsion spring, and the protruding rod 35 returns to its original position. From then on, the overall operation process is realized, the complete removal of the meat paste is completed, and the corruption problem that may be caused by long-term delivery of the meat paste is effectively prevented, thereby ensuring a sanitary environment for firefly breeding.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the breeding box 1 is provided with a flushing mechanism 4 for assisting in the removal of meat mud. The flushing mechanism 4 includes a water storage tank 41 arranged at the front side of the breeding box 1. The bottom of the water storage tank 41 is connected with a connecting pipe 42. A water storage tank 43 connected with the end of the connecting pipe 42 is arranged at the front side of the sliding door 2. A through hole facing the discharge plate 24 is opened at the bottom of the water storage tank 43. The through hole is a conical hole that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is used for circulating water for flushing.

[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the flushing mechanism 4 also includes a fixed plate 44 arranged at intervals inside the water tank 43, the fixed plate 44 is adapted to the layout and number of the through holes, and a guide rod 45 is slidably arranged on the fixed plate 44, the guide rod 45 slides up and down, and a plug 46 that matches the through hole directly below is connected to the bottom end of the guide rod 45, which is used to control the flow of water in the corresponding through hole, and an elastic member is arranged between the plug 46 and the corresponding fixed plate 44. In this embodiment, the elastic member is a spring, which can provide an elastic force for the reset of the guide rod 45 and the plug 46, and a motor 47 is fixedly installed on the right side of the scraper 31, and a connecting shaft is rotatably arranged between the left and right sides of the bottom of the water tank 43, and the end of the connecting shaft is connected to the output shaft of the motor 47, and cams 48 consistent with the layout of the plug 46 are arranged at intervals on the connecting shaft, and the cam 48 is in contact with the plug 46 located directly above.

[0045] Specifically, the cam 48 is driven to rotate by the motor 47 to intermittently knock the plug 46, thereby realizing the periodic opening and closing of the through hole, accurately controlling the flow rate of water, ensuring that an appropriate amount of water flow is provided during the scraping operation and maintaining a stable small flow of water supply, making the scraping process more efficient and thorough, and effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the discharge plate 24.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a water collecting frame 49 is also included. A water collecting frame 49 connected to the left and right sides of the discharge plate 24 is arranged on the front side of the breeding box 1 for collecting and discharging the water flow after flushing.

[0047] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a gear 5. A wiping roller 51 with a bottom in contact with the discharge plate 24 is rotatably provided between the left and right sides of the scraper 31. The shaft end of the wiping roller 51 and the output shaft of the motor 47 are connected with the gear 5. The gears 5 on both sides are meshed to drive the wiping roller 51 to rotate, so as to wipe the water stains on the surface of the discharge plate 24 after cleaning. In addition, an extrusion plate 52 that is in extrusion contact with the wiping roller 51 is provided on the sliding door 2 to squeeze and discharge the moisture from the wiping roller 51.

[0048] like Fig. 9 As shown, it also includes a buckle plate 6, and the buckle plates 6 are arranged on the left and right sides of the assembly plate 23. A meat collecting frame 61 is connected to the front side of the assembly plate 23. The highest point of the meat collecting frame 61 is lower than the lowest point of the discharge plate 24, which is used to collect the scraped meat paste. A guide sleeve 62 is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the meat collecting frame 61. A clamping rod 63 that engages with the buckle plate 6 on the same side is rotatably arranged on the guide sleeve 62 to fix the position of the meat collecting frame 61.

[0049] Specifically, see Fig. 9The rear end of the clamping rod 63 is in a straight line shape, and the buckle plate 6 is provided with a vertically opened slot. By rotating the clamping rod 63, it can be embedded or engaged in the slot of the buckle plate 6 on the same side, realizing two different insertion states, so as to facilitate the rapid disassembly and assembly of the meat collecting frame 61 and simplify the maintenance and cleaning process.

[0050] like Fig.10 As shown, an extraction pump 7 is also included. The extraction pump 7 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 41. The water inlet of the extraction pump 7 is connected to the water tank 41. A spray hood 72 with a spray nozzle facing downward is also provided on the top of the breeding box 1. A delivery pipe 71 is connected between the spray hood 72 and the water outlet of the extraction pump 7. The spray hood 72 can be used to spray water and humidify the inside of the breeding box 1 to meet the needs of different breeding environments.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a lighting lamp 12, and the grille cover 11 is provided with a lighting lamp 12 for aquaculture lighting.

[0052] Based on the above-mentioned nutrient delivery device for firefly breeding, a nutrient delivery method for firefly breeding includes the following steps:

[0053] S1, open the grille cover 11, place the fireflies to be cultured in the culture box 1, and apply the meat paste required for culture on the feeding plate 24;

[0054] S2. When the meat paste needs to be replaced, the electric push rod 22 is started to push the assembly plate 23 and the discharge plate 24 forward, and the protruding rod 35 slides along the inclined plate 34 and then moves to the corresponding lower plate 33 and abuts against it, thereby lifting the guide rail 32, the scraper 31 and the sliding door 2, so that the bottom of the scraper 31 is spaced apart from the discharge plate 24 that is moving forward, until the protruding rod 35 moves forward to the end of the position below the lower plate 33. Due to the gap between the lower plate 33 and the guide rail 32, the protruding rod 35 releases the abutment restriction with the lower plate 33, so that the guide rail 32 slides down due to gravity, and then the protruding rod 35 moves to the lower plate 33. The scraper 31 and the sliding door 2 are positioned above the discharge plate 24, so that the scraper 31 and the sliding door 2 slide down, and then the scraper 31 fits with the discharge plate 24, and then the telescopic end of the electric push rod 22 retracts, thereby driving the discharge plate 24 to move backward, and the protruding rod 35 is located above the abutment plate 33 and slides backward along the guide rail 32, and the scraper 31 simultaneously scrapes the residual meat paste on the surface of the discharge plate 24, and then the scraped meat paste accumulates and falls into the meat collecting frame 61, until the protruding rod 35 contacts and squeezes the inclined plate 34, forcing the inclined plate 34 to tilt and rotate downward, so that the protruding rod 35 returns to the original position of the guide rail 32, thereby completing the scraping of the residual material on the discharge plate 24;

[0055] S3. During the process of scraping the residual material, the motor 47 synchronously drives the connecting shaft and the cam 48 to rotate, and the cam 48 knocks the plug 46 above, so that the through hole of the water storage tank 43 is intermittently opened, and then the water in the water storage tank 41 is discharged from the through hole of the water storage tank 43 through the connecting pipe 42, and then flows down to the discharge plate 24, flushing and assisting the scraper 31 in scraping the residual material;

[0056] S4, as the motor 47 is driven, the gear 5 on it is driven to mesh with the gear 5 on the wiping roller 51, so that the wiping roller 51 rotates, thereby wiping the water stains on the discharge plate 24, and at the same time, the squeezing plate 52 squeezes and discharges the water on the wiping roller 51, and the excess accumulated water flows down into the water collecting frame 49 and is discharged;

[0057] S5. Finally, new meat paste can be applied to the cleaned discharge plate 24. According to the needs of use, the lighting lamp 12 can be selected for lighting treatment, or the extraction pump 7 can be started to spray water and humidify the breeding box 1 through the spray cover 72.

[0058] It should be understood that the above description is only for illustrative purposes and is not meant to limit the present invention.

A spray hood (72) with a spray nozzle facing downward is also arranged on the top of the breeding box (1), and a delivery pipe (71) is connected between the spray hood (72) and the water outlet of the extraction pump (7).

8. A nutrient delivery device for firefly breeding according to claim 7, characterized in that: It also includes a lighting lamp (12), and the grille cover (11) is provided with a lighting lamp (12) for aquaculture lighting.

9. A method for delivering nutrition for firefly breeding, according to the device for delivering nutrition for firefly breeding as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that: The steps include: S1, open the grille cover (11), place the fireflies to be cultured in the culture box (1), and apply the meat paste required for culture on the feeding plate (24); S2. When the meat paste needs to be replaced, the electric push rod (22) is started to push the assembly plate (23) and the discharge plate (24) forward, and the protruding rod (35) slides along the inclined plate (34) and then moves to the bottom of the corresponding abutment plate (33) and abuts against it, thereby lifting the guide rail (32), the scraper (31) and the sliding door (2), so that the bottom of the scraper (31) and the discharge plate (24) that is moving forward are kept at a distance until the protruding rod (35) moves forward to the end of the position below the abutment plate (33). Due to the distance between the abutment plate (33) and the guide rail (32), the protruding rod (35) releases the abutment restriction with the abutment plate (33), so that the guide rail (32) slides down due to gravity, and then the protruding rod (35) moves to the abutment plate (33). 3), so that the scraper (31) and the sliding door (2) slide down, and then the scraper (31) fits with the discharge plate (24), and then the telescopic end of the electric push rod (22) retracts, thereby driving the discharge plate (24) to move backward, and the protruding rod (35) is located above the abutment plate (33) and slides backward along the guide rail (32), and the scraper (31) simultaneously scrapes the residual meat paste on the surface of the discharge plate (24), and then the scraped meat paste accumulates and falls into the meat collecting frame (61), until the protruding rod (35) contacts and squeezes the inclined plate (34), forcing the inclined plate (34) to tilt and rotate downward, so that the protruding rod (35) returns to the original position of the guide rail (32), thereby completing the scraping of the residual material on the discharge plate (24); S3. During the process of scraping the residual material, the motor (47) synchronously drives the connecting shaft and the cam (48) to rotate, and the cam (48) knocks the plug (46) directly above, so that the through hole of the water storage tank (43) is intermittently opened, and then the water in the water storage tank (41) is discharged from the through hole of the water storage tank (43) through the connecting pipe (42), and then flows down to the discharge plate (24), flushing and assisting the scraper (31) in scraping the residual material; S4, as the motor (47) is driven, the gear (5) on it is driven to mesh with the gear (5) on the wiping roller (51), so that the wiping roller (51) rotates, thereby wiping the water stains on the discharge plate (24), and at the same time, the squeezing plate (52) squeezes and discharges the water on the wiping roller (51), and the excess accumulated water flows down into the water collecting frame (49) and is discharged; S5. Finally, new meat paste can be applied to the cleaned discharge plate (24). According to the use requirements, the lighting lamp (12) can be selected for lighting treatment, or the extraction pump (7) can be started to spray water and humidify the breeding box (1) through the spray cover (72).
