Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural breeding, and in particular to an intelligent earthworm breeding system. Background Art

[0002] Earthworms are a common terrestrial annelid that live in the soil, hiding during the day and coming out at night. They feed on livestock and poultry manure and organic waste. Earthworms themselves are a high-quality source of protein and can be used in feed production. Earthworm farming can improve soil structure and soil fertility, which is of great significance to environmental protection and agricultural development.

[0003] Nowadays, the breeding is generally carried out outdoors. The earthworm bed is 2 meters wide, 15 to 20 meters long, 20 to 25 centimeters high, and the feed is placed 10 to 15 centimeters. However, this type of breeding method has high requirements for breeding technology and environment, and often requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the breeding efficiency is low. The optimal growth temperature of earthworms is 15 to 27 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius and above 32 degrees Celsius, the earthworms become slow in activity, and even stop eating, and basically do not carry out the reproductive process. When the temperature of the breeding bed is below 10 degrees Celsius or above 27 degrees Celsius, it is difficult for earthworms to hatch. The relative humidity of the air in the growth environment of earthworms is 60% to 70%. In terms of light, direct light should not be exposed to more than 3 hours a day in summer. This is because earthworms are sensitive to light. When strong light is exposed, they will drill into the ground and not eat.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an intelligent earthworm breeding system that can significantly improve breeding efficiency, reduce breeding inputs, and provide technical support for expanding the scale of earthworm breeding. Summary of the invention

[0014] An automatic feeding device is installed on the breeding tank to transport materials remotely through pipelines and feed materials along the length of the breeding tank at a feeding speed of 0.1m 3 / min, when the material evenly covers the entire breeding tank and the depth reaches 15cm, the feeding is automatically stopped and water is replenished using the automatic water supply device. When the moisture content in the breeding tank reaches 70%, water replenishment is automatically stopped, and when it is lower than 60%, water is automatically replenished again; wherein the material is organic waste mixed with earthworm eggs.

[0015] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device includes a pulley for sliding on the breeding trough and a driving motor for driving the automatic feeding device to slide;

[0016] The upper end of the automatic loading device is a feed port, and the lower end is a discharge port. The area of ​​the feed port is twice the area of ​​the discharge port. The upper feed port is connected to a pipeline, which is remotely connected to a suction device. The suction device forms negative pressure through the rotation of a fan to achieve material suction and pipeline transmission. When a certain layer of breeding tanks is loaded, the automatic loading device is removed and placed in breeding tanks on other layers to repeat the above operation.

[0017] Further, mature earthworms were collected according to the following method:

[0018] A lifting motor is arranged at one end of the breeding trough in the length direction, and a gate is arranged at the other end of the breeding trough in the length direction. When the earthworms in the trough are mature, a cylindrical filter is hung under the gate, the gate is opened, and the lifting motor is started to raise one end of the breeding trough so that the breeding trough is tilted from the horizontal to an angle of 30°.

[0019] Furthermore, when the material enters the cylindrical filter, the cylindrical filter is rotated to realize automatic screening of earthworms and other components in the material; the screened earthworms are packed in boxes, and other components in the material can be collected and mixed with new materials and re-injected into the breeding tank.

[0020] Furthermore, the detection unit includes a CO2 sensor, a pH detector, a weight measuring instrument, a humidity sensor, a moisture detector and a camera.

[0021] Furthermore, the breeding unit also includes a ventilation fan and a temperature regulator;

[0022] The remote monitoring unit includes a server and a display device; the server sends control commands to control the opening and closing of the ventilation fan and the opening and closing of the temperature regulator.

[0026] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the breeding equipment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, as shown in the drawings:

[0028] This embodiment discloses an intelligent earthworm breeding system, including a breeding unit, a detection unit and a remote monitoring unit;

[0029] The breeding unit is used to provide a breeding site;

[0030] The detection unit is used to detect environmental parameter information of the breeding site;

[0031] The remote monitoring unit is used to control the breeding unit to automatically adjust the temperature and ventilation of the breeding environment according to the environmental parameter information.

[0032] The present invention independently designs a set of intelligent organic waste earthworm conversion system, with overall electrification design, intelligent loading and unloading, and automatic screening of waste and earthworms after discharging.

[0033] In this embodiment, the detection unit includes a CO2 sensor, a pH detector, a weight measuring instrument, a humidity sensor, a moisture detector and a camera. The camera adopts a resolution of 720p, and the state changes of earthworms in the waste treatment process are remotely detected by the camera. Other intelligent detection equipment can be added according to actual needs.

[0034] By setting up detection units to monitor in real time the changes in key indicators such as CO2 concentration, humidity, and pH generated during the earthworm treatment process, the remote monitoring unit can be used to adjust environmental parameters in real time to ensure the survival rate of earthworms and treatment efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, the breeding unit includes a ventilation fan and a temperature regulator; wherein the temperature regulator can adopt an existing temperature regulating device, or other environmental parameter regulating devices can be added according to the actual working conditions that need to be adjusted, which will not be repeated here.

[0036] The remote monitoring unit includes a server and a display device; the server sends a control command to control the opening and closing of the ventilation fan and the opening and closing of the temperature regulator. The display device can be used to view environmental parameter information and real-time breeding pictures in real time. The start and stop of the corresponding equipment according to the control command adopts the existing control technology, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] By setting up a remote monitoring unit, the temperature and ventilation of the breeding environment can be automatically adjusted to provide a suitable growth environment for earthworms. There is no need for manual real-time monitoring, which greatly saves labor consumption.

[0038] In this embodiment, the breeding unit includes breeding equipment;

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the breeding equipment includes a frame and a plurality of breeding tanks arranged in the frame; the plurality of breeding tanks are arranged up and down;

[0040] A 3 cm thick earthworm soil is laid in the breeding tank, and a layer of straw is covered on the surface of the earthworm soil.

[0041] The overall specifications of the breeding equipment are 3*1*2.6m, the load-bearing design is 300kg, the external overall frame is made of carbon steel surface injection molding, and the interior is divided into two upper and lower breeding tanks. The earthworm breeding tank of the equipment is made of 304 stainless steel, 2.94m long, 1m wide, 0.4m high, the steel plate thickness is 2mm, and the standard load-bearing capacity of a breeding tank is 150kg.

[0042] The earthworm variety used is Taiping No. 2, and the initial number of earthworms is 600. The overall waste treatment capacity of the equipment is 150-300kg. The equipment breeding tank is paved with 3cm thick local earthworm soil in the breeding shed. Leafy vegetable seedlings, waste loofah, and pumpkins with worm holes are prepared. The temperature is low at night, and a layer of straw is covered on the surface to keep warm and ensure the survival rate of earthworms.

[0043] The three-dimensional design of the breeding space improves the utilization rate of the breeding space and increases the breeding density of earthworms. At the same time, equipment breeding can promote the growth and reproduction rate of earthworms, ensure that earthworms will not drill into the soil and escape, and ensure the output and rural organic waste treatment volume.

[0044] In this embodiment, earthworms are cultured according to the following method:

[0045] An automatic feeding device is installed on the breeding tank to transport materials remotely through pipelines and feed materials along the length of the breeding tank at a feeding speed of 0.1m 3 / min, when the material evenly covers the entire breeding tank and the depth reaches 15cm, the feeding is automatically stopped and water is replenished using the automatic water supply device. When the moisture content in the breeding tank reaches 70%, water replenishment is automatically stopped, and when it is lower than 60%, water is automatically replenished again; wherein, the material is organic waste mixed with Taiping No. 2 earthworm eggs, and the organic waste includes fermented cow dung.

[0046] By adopting automated equipment, uniform coverage of materials and precise water replenishment are achieved, reducing manual intervention and improving efficiency. Appropriate moisture and nutrition are maintained in the breeding tank, promoting the healthy growth of earthworms and the hatching of eggs. Organic waste is used as breeding material, effectively realizing the resource recycling of waste. In addition, automated management reduces labor demand, while ensuring environmental stability, reducing breeding risks and maintenance consumption.

[0047] In this embodiment, the automatic feeding device includes a pulley for sliding on the breeding trough and a driving motor for driving the automatic feeding device to slide;

[0048] The upper end of the automatic feeding device is a feeding port, and the lower end is a discharging port. The area of ​​the feeding port is twice the area of ​​the discharging port. The upper feeding port is connected to a pipeline, which is remotely connected to a suction device. The suction device forms negative pressure through the rotation of a fan to achieve material suction and pipeline transmission. When the feeding of a breeding tank on a certain layer is completed, the automatic feeding device is removed and placed on the breeding tanks on other layers to repeat the above operation.

[0049] Through negative pressure suction and pipeline transmission, fast and stable material transportation and distribution are achieved. The reasonable design of the feed port and the discharge port ensures uniform material discharge, which can meet the needs of different breeding tanks. The automatic transportation and movable design reduce manual operation and improve work efficiency. In addition, the automatic feeding device is detachable and suitable for multi-layer breeding tanks, saving equipment costs and improving utilization.

[0050] In this embodiment, mature earthworms are collected according to the following method:

[0051] A lifting motor is arranged at one end of the breeding trough in the length direction, and a gate is arranged at the other end of the breeding trough in the length direction. When the earthworms in the trough are mature, a cylindrical filter is hung under the gate, the gate is opened, and the lifting motor is started to slowly raise one end of the breeding trough so that the breeding trough is tilted from the horizontal to an angle of 30°. In the process of raising the breeding trough, the shaking motor arranged on the breeding trough gently drives the breeding trough to shake, and the materials in the breeding trough including the earthworms are pushed to the other end and finally enter the cylindrical filter.

[0052] By combining tilting and shaking, the earthworms are quickly separated from the materials and pushed to the filter, which greatly improves the collection speed; the lifting motor and shaking motor are used for automatic operation, which simplifies the operation process and reduces the labor intensity. In addition, the collection purity can be improved by setting up the filter, which is also suitable for the earthworm collection needs of large-scale farms.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the material enters the cylindrical filter screen, the cylindrical filter screen is rotated to realize automatic screening of earthworms and other components in the material; the screened earthworms are packed and packed, and other components in the material can be collected and mixed with new materials and re-injected into the breeding tank. Among them, the outer diameter of the cylindrical filter screen is 120cm, the inner diameter is 115cm, the height is 80cm, and the aperture is 3cm; the cylindrical filter screen can be driven by a motor to rotate clockwise at a rotation rate of 300r / min (revolutions / minute).

[0054] The rotating design of the cylindrical filter automatically separates earthworms from other ingredients, improving screening efficiency. The remaining materials after screening can be reused and mixed with new materials to be put into the breeding tank, reducing resource waste. Automatic screening, boxing and material circulation reduce manual operations and optimize production processes. Through material recovery and efficient screening, the resource utilization rate of breeding is improved.

[0055] The present invention realizes automatic adjustment of the temperature, humidity, ventilation and other conditions of the breeding environment without manual operation by designing intelligent sensors, thereby providing a suitable growth environment for earthworms. Through the drive of an external motor, automatic loading and unloading is realized, and the organic waste in the breeding tank is leveled. The humidity and moisture content in the breeding tank are adjusted through intelligent control, and water is automatically drained and discharged, without the need for manual monitoring and adjustment at all times, thus saving manpower consumption.

[0056] By establishing sensor monitoring, real-time monitoring of key indicators such as pH, humidity, and earthworm growth status, and external monitoring cameras, we can keep abreast of the situation, discover problems in time and take measures. Through optimized design, the utilization rate of breeding space is improved, and the equipment only occupies 2.94m 2 , but the breeding area has nearly doubled, greatly increasing the breeding density of earthworms. At the same time, the intelligent regulation of equipment can promote the growth and reproduction speed of earthworms and increase production.

[0057] Through intelligent control, the operation process has low energy consumption, is environmentally friendly, and will not cause pollutant leakage that affects groundwater safety. Centralized treatment of rural organic waste through intelligent equipment is more environmentally friendly than outdoor treatment, effectively reducing groundwater pollution caused by wastewater discharge. At the same time, the centrally treated organic waste is converted into organic fertilizer and used in nearby farmland, orchards, etc. to improve soil fertility.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
