Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of insect breeding, and specifically relates to a breeding method for Dorcus titanus platymelus. Background Art

[0002] As ornamental beetles, the beetles of the genus Dorcus are deeply loved by the people. With the improvement of people's living standards, the number of people raising them has increased rapidly. However, the beetles of the genus Dorcus have obvious seasonality, and the breeding period is only from June to October every year. From November, the adults will enter the hibernation state until they emerge again in April - May of the following year. The lifespan of adults is 1 - 1.5 years. Since the maturation period is 3 - 4 months after emerging from hibernation, the cycle for artificial breeding is short. During artificial breeding, the male beetle will urge the female beetle to lay eggs after mating. The male beetles of this genus usually use violent methods to induce egg laying, that is, clamping the female beetle and pushing it towards the sawdust, often resulting in the death of the female beetle, leading to a low survival rate of artificial breeding. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a breeding method for Dorcus titanus platymelus to solve the above-mentioned technical problem that during artificial breeding, the male beetle will urge the female beetle to lay eggs after mating. The male beetles of this genus usually use violent methods to induce egg laying, that is, clamping the female beetle and pushing it towards the sawdust, often resulting in the death of the female beetle, leading to a low survival rate of artificial breeding.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the present invention discloses a breeding method for Dorcus titanus platymelus, which includes the following steps:

[0005] Step 1, Mating period: Select male and female Dorcus titanus platymelus with a hibernation period of about 4 months. Fix the mandibles of the male beetle inward with a 3 - 5 mm wide cable tie, and then place the male and female beetles in a 2 - 5 L container for one week to observe the behavior of the male beetle;

[0006] Step 2, Laying room arrangement: Take a cuboid container with a certain capacity as the laying room, install the laying room on the auxiliary mechanism, put in fermented sawdust and compact it to 5 cm from the bottom, then place the laying wood into the laying room, cover it with fermented sawdust until the laying wood is submerged and press it tightly until the fermented sawdust does not pour out when the laying room is turned over, and finally lay branches or dry leaves on the surface;

[0007] Step 3, Egg - laying period: Take out the female beetle alone, place it in the laying room, put in food, and change the food once a week. Take out the female beetle at 30 - 45 days, and then check the laying room. If larvae or eggs are found, let it stand for one month and then open the laying room 1 to take out the larvae;

[0008] Step 4, If no larvae or eggs are found in the laying room, put the male and female beetles back into the 2 - 5 L container to mate again.

[0009] Preferably, the standard for observing the behavior of the male beetle in Step 1 is that the male beetle protects the female beetle under its body and has obvious defensive behavior.

[0010] Preferably, the capacity of the cuboid container selected in step two is 20L.

[0011] Preferably, the production wood in step two is a wood section of the Fagaceae family, with a length of 20 cm - 25 cm and a width of 10 - 15 cm. Before being placed in the delivery room, the production wood needs to be naturally stored in a dry and ventilated dark room for 3 months, and then soaked in clean water for 2 days.

[0012] Preferably, in step two, fermented wood chips are put in and pressed by a compaction mechanism to a position 5 cm away from the bottom, then the production wood is placed in the delivery room, and fermented wood chips are covered again until the production wood is submerged and compacted by the compaction mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, a breeding cavity is provided at the upper end of the delivery room, fermented wood chips are provided in the breeding cavity, and production wood is provided in the fermented wood chips.

[0014] Preferably, the compaction mechanism includes a frame. A working cavity runs through between the front and rear ends of the frame. Annular grooves are symmetrically provided at the left and right ends of the working cavity. The annular grooves are slidably connected with sliders. An installation plate is fixedly provided between the sliders connected by the annular grooves on the left and right sides. The delivery room is provided at the upper end of the installation plate.

[0015] Preferably, the compaction mechanism further includes a compaction plate. The compaction plate is correspondingly arranged in the breeding cavity. The upper end of the compaction plate is fixedly connected with a first connecting block. The first connecting block is fixedly connected with the lower end of a sliding block. The right end of the sliding block is slidably connected with the right end of the working cavity. The upper end of the sliding block is respectively provided with second connecting blocks on the left and right sides. The mutually approaching ends of the second connecting blocks are fixedly connected with a guide block. The guide block is slidably connected with a guide groove on the side of a cam. The cam is fixedly connected with a third rotating shaft. The third rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the right end of the working cavity. The third rotating shaft runs through the left end of the working cavity and is fixedly connected with a driving motor.

[0016] Preferably, a pressure sensor is provided at the lower end of the compaction plate. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to an indicator light through a second controller.

[0017] Next, through the drawings and embodiments, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Use a tie with a width of 3 mm - 5 mm to fix the mandibles of the male insects inward, avoiding the situation where the male insects use their mandibles to clamp the female insects and push them into the wood chips, resulting in the female insects being clamped to death. This solves the technical problem that during artificial breeding, after mating, the male insects of this genus usually use violent methods to induce oviposition, that is, clamp the female insects and push them into the wood chips, often resulting in the female insects being clamped to death and the low survival rate of artificial breeding.

[0020] 2. Select a container with a volume of 2L - 5L and place male and female insects in it. Since female insects are relatively small, if the container is too large, female insects may hide, making it difficult for male insects to find them. If the container is too small, it will restrict the movement of female and male insects, thus improving the mating effect.

[0021] 3. Soak the breeding wood in clean water for 2 days before putting it into the breeding chamber. First, physically kill other insects inside. After being fully soaked, the breeding wood will remain moist during the egg - laying period of female insects, which is beneficial to adjusting the overall humidity of the breeding chamber. It can also make the breeding wood softer, making it easier for female insects to lay eggs, improving the egg - laying efficiency of female insects and shortening the cycle of artificial reproduction.

[0031] The present invention provides the following embodiments

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] The embodiment of the present invention provides a breeding method for Prosopocoilus giraffa, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0034] Step 1, mating period: Select male and female Prosopocoilus giraffa with a hibernation period of about 4 months. Fix the mandibles of the male insect inward with a zip tie 3 mm - 5 mm wide, and then place the male and female insects in a container of 2 L - 5 L for one week to observe the behavior of the male insect;

[0035] Step 2, laying house arrangement: Take a cuboid container with a certain capacity as the laying house 1. Install the laying house 1 on the auxiliary mechanism, put in 101 fermented sawdust and press it tightly to 5 cm from the bottom, then place the laying wood 102 into the laying house, and cover it with 101 fermented sawdust again until the laying wood 102 is covered and pressed tightly. Finally, lay branches or dry leaves on the surface;

[0036] Step 3, egg-laying period: Take out the female insect alone, place it in the laying house 1, put in food, and change the food once a week. Take out the female insect at 30 days - 45 days, and then check the laying house 1. If larvae or eggs are found, let it stand for one month and then open the laying house 1 to take out the larvae;

[0037] Step 4, if no larvae or eggs are found in the laying house 1, put the male and female insects back into a container of 2 L - 5 L and mate again;

[0038] The standard for observing the behavior of the male insect in Step 1 is that the male insect protects the female insect under its body and has obvious preventive behaviors;

[0039] In step two, the selected cuboid container has a capacity of 20L;

[0040] The production wood in step two is the wood section of Fagaceae. The length of the production wood is 20 cm - 25 cm, and the width is 10 - 15 cm. Before being placed in the delivery room 1, the production wood needs to be stored naturally in a dry and ventilated dark room for 3 months, and then soaked in clean water for 2 days.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0042] Since the female insects are small, they will hide in a container that is too large, resulting in the male insects being unable to find them. A container that is too small will restrict the movement of both. Therefore, a container with a volume of 2L - 5L is selected and the male and female insects are placed in it for convenient mating. The male insects that have successfully mated will exhibit the behavior of protecting the female. Laying branches or dry leaves on the surface can provide shelters and climbing objects for the female insects. Soaking the production wood in clean water for 2 days can first physically kill other insects inside. After being fully soaked, the production wood will remain moist during the subsequent egg-laying period of the female insects, which is beneficial to regulating the overall humidity of the delivery room 1 and can also make the production wood softer and more conducive to the female insects laying eggs, improving the egg-laying efficiency of the female insects and shortening the artificial breeding cycle. Using a tie strap with a width of 3 mm - 5 mm to fix the mandibles of the male insects inward can prevent the male insects from using their mandibles to clamp the female insects and push them into the wood chips, avoiding the situation of clamping and killing. This solves the technical problem that during artificial breeding, after mating, the male insects of this genus usually use violent methods to induce egg production, that is, clamping the female insects and pushing them into the wood chips, often resulting in the situation of clamping and killing, leading to a low survival rate of artificial breeding.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figures 2 - 3 shown, in step two, 101 fermentation wood chips are put in and compacted by a compaction mechanism to a position 5 cm away from the bottom, and then the production wood 102 is placed into the delivery room 1. Then, the fermentation wood chips 101 are covered again until they submerge the production wood 102 and are compacted tightly by the compaction mechanism;

[0045] The upper end of the delivery room 1 is provided with a breeding cavity 11. The breeding cavity 11 is provided with fermentation wood chips 101, and the fermentation wood chips 101 are provided with production wood 102;

[0046] The compaction mechanism includes a frame 2. A working cavity 17 runs through between the front and rear ends of the frame 2. Annular grooves 6 are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the working cavity 17. The annular grooves 6 are slidably connected with sliders. A mounting plate 3 is fixed between the sliders connected to the annular grooves 6 on the left and right sides. The upper end of the mounting plate 3 is provided with the delivery room 1;

[0047] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0048] When it is necessary to compact the fermented sawdust 101 added to the breeding chamber 1, the breeding chamber 1 can be fixed on the mounting plate 3, and the fixing method can adopt detachable connection methods such as threaded connection or clamping fixation. The fermented sawdust 101 and the wood 102 can be placed in the breeding cavity 11 at the upper end of the breeding chamber 1.

[0049] Embodiment 3

[0050] On the basis of Embodiment 2, as Figures 2 - 3 shown, the compaction mechanism further includes a compaction plate 5, the compaction plate 5 is correspondingly arranged in the breeding cavity 11, the upper end of the compaction plate 5 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 7, the first connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding block 8, the right end of the sliding block 8 is slidably connected to the right end of the working cavity 17, the upper end of the sliding block 8 is respectively provided with second connecting blocks 9 on the left and right sides, the mutually approaching ends of the second connecting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the guiding block 10, the guiding block 10 is slidably connected to the guiding groove 13 on the side end of the cam 12, the cam 12 is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 14, the third rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the right end of the working cavity 17, the third rotating shaft 14 penetrates through the left end of the working cavity 17 and is fixedly connected to the first driving motor 16, and the first driving motor 16 is fixedly connected to the left end of the frame 2;

[0051] A pressure sensor 4 is arranged at the lower end of the compaction plate 5, and the pressure sensor 4 is electrically connected to the indicator light through the second controller.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0053] The compaction mechanism is used to compact the fermented wood chips 101 in the breeding cavity 11. After installing the delivery room 1 on the mounting plate 3, the drive motor one 16 drives the rotation of the third rotating shaft 14. At this time, the cam 12 rotates. A guide groove 13 is provided at the side end of the cam 12. When the cam 12 rotates, it can drive the sliding block 8 to slide up and down along the right end of the working cavity 17 through the guide block 10. The sliding block 8 drives the compaction plate 5 to move up and down through the first connecting block 7, driving the compaction plate 5 to move downward into the breeding cavity 11. When the compaction plate 5 moves to the lowest position, the distance between it and the lower end of the breeding cavity 11 is always a fixed value, and this fixed value is the same as the target bottom clearance height of the compacted fermented wood chips 101 in the delivery room 1. The first connecting block 7 is set as a telescopic block, so that the distance between the compaction plate 5 and the lower end of the breeding cavity 11 when the compaction plate 5 moves to the lowest position can be adjusted. After the thickness of the fermented wood chips 101 entering the breeding cavity 11 reaches the target thickness, control the up and down movement of the compaction plate 5 to make the compaction plate 5 contact and compact the fermented wood chips 101 until the compaction plate 5 can no longer compact the fermented wood chips 101. At this time, the compaction plate 5 does not move downward to the maximum stroke. Since the compaction plate 5 cannot move further, as the third rotating shaft 14 rotates, the third rotating shaft 14 drives the delivery room 1 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 14 through the cam 12 and the corresponding connected compaction plate 5. During the rotation of the delivery room 1, if the fermented wood chips 101 are not compacted, the fermented wood chips 101 will not form an integral body with the delivery room 1, and under the action of the gravity of the fermented wood chips 101, a certain force will be applied to the pressure sensor 4, causing the detected value of the pressure sensor 4 to change. If the detected change value of the pressure sensor 4 exceeds the target change value, the pressure sensor 4 controls the indicator light to flash through the second controller, indicating that the fermented wood chips 101 do not reach the target compaction effect. At this time, the slider connected to the mounting plate 3 should be locked to prevent the third rotating shaft 14 from rotating, so as to increase the pressure of the compaction plate 5 on the fermented wood chips 101 and thus improve the compaction degree of the fermented wood chips 101. Positioning holes are provided on both the annular groove 6 of the frame 2 and the slider. Inserting a positioning pin can keep the mounting plate 3 fixed. The compaction degree of the fermented wood chips 101 is judged by the detected value of the pressure sensor 4, avoiding judging the compaction degree of the fermented wood chips 101 by the method that the fermented wood chips 101 cannot be poured out when the delivery room 1 is turned over. If the fermented wood chips 101 are not compacted, it will cause the fermented wood chips 101 to separate from the delivery room 1, increasing the subsequent steps of adding and compacting the fermented wood chips 101 into the delivery room 1 again, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] On the basis of Example 3, as Figures 2 - 5As shown in the figure, it further includes a material spraying mechanism. The material spraying mechanism includes a disc 30. The working shaft 26 passes through the first fixing block 31 and is fixedly connected to the disc 30. The disc 30 is fixedly connected to an eccentric shaft 37. The eccentric shaft 37 is slidably connected to a sliding groove 38 on a rotating rod 36. The lower end of the rotating rod 36 is fixedly connected to a sector gear 35. The rotating rod 36 is fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft 32. The second rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the first fixing block 31. The sector gear 35 meshes with a toothed section on a rack 34. A smooth section of the rack 34 passes through the second fixing block 33 and is fixedly connected to a third connecting block 39. The second fixing block 33 is respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the first fixing block 31. The third connecting blocks 39 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the upper end of a storage box 40. A storage cavity 41 is provided inside the storage box 40. A discharge port 42 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the storage box 40. An installation port 43 is communicated with the discharge port 42. An electric telescopic rod 18 is installed in the installation port 43. The electric telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to a baffle 21. The baffle 21 is used to block the discharge port 42. An angle sensor is arranged on the working shaft 26. The angle sensor is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 18 through a first controller;

[0056] The material spraying mechanism further includes a second driving motor 15. The second driving motor 15 is fixedly connected to a motor shaft 20. The motor shaft 20 is fixedly connected to a first meshing gear 19 and a second meshing gear 22. The first meshing gear 19 meshes with a first gear 25 correspondingly. The second meshing gear 22 meshes with a second gear 23 correspondingly. The second gear 23 is fixedly connected to a guide sleeve 24. A guide arc groove inside the guide sleeve 24 is slidably connected to a guide ball rotatably arranged outside a first rotating shaft 29. A cylindrical section of the first rotating shaft 29 passes through the left end of the frame 2 and enters the working cavity 17 and is fixedly connected to the first fixing block 31. The guide sleeve 24 is rotatably connected to the first gear 25. The guide sleeve 24 is rotatably connected to the left end of the frame 2. The first gear 25 is slidably connected to the working shaft 26. The working shaft 26 is rotatably connected to an internal through hole of the first rotating shaft 29. One end of the working shaft 26 away from the disc 30 is rotatably connected to a mounting plate 28. The mounting plate 28 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 27. The guide rod 27 passes through the left end of the frame 2 and enters the working cavity 17 and is fixedly connected to the first fixing block 31.

[0057] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0058] The material sprinkling assembly can evenly sprinkle the fermented wood chips 101 into the breeding chamber 11. The driving motor 2 15 in the material sprinkling assembly can drive the motor shaft 20 to rotate when working. The motor shaft 20 can drive the meshing gear 2 22 and the meshing gear 1 19 to rotate when working. The sawtooth segments on the meshing gear 2 22 and the sawtooth segments on the meshing gear 1 19 are evenly spaced, and a plurality of saw teeth form the sawtooth segments. When the meshing gear 2 22 rotates, it drives the gear 2 23 to rotate intermittently. When the meshing gear 1 19 rotates, it drives the gear 1 25 to rotate intermittently. The gear 2 23 and the gear 1 25 work in a staggered manner, that is, when the gear 2 23 rotates, the gear 1 25 stops rotating, and when the gear 1 25 rotates, the gear 2 23 stops rotating. Each time the gear 2 23 rotates, it drives the guide The sleeve 24 rotates a certain angle, and the setting of the fixed block 31 makes it possible for the guide sleeve 24 to rotate a certain angle, and the guide arc groove therein slides with the guide ball on the rotating shaft 29, thereby driving the rotating shaft 29 to move a certain distance, and the rotating shaft 29 drives the fixed block 31 and the working shaft 26 to move. When the fixed block 31 moves, the mounting plate 28 is driven to move through the guide rod 27. The setting of the guide rod 27 guides the movement of the fixed block 31. When the gear 25 rotates, it drives the working shaft 26 to rotate. One rotation of the guide sleeve 24 can make the rotating shaft 29 reciprocate once along the length direction of the breeding chamber 11, and the unidirectional moving distance of the rotating shaft 29 during the reciprocating movement is the same as the left and right length direction of the breeding chamber 11.

[0059] Each time the working shaft 26 rotates, the disc 30 can be driven to rotate one circle, and the disc 30 drives the eccentric shaft 37 to rotate. When the eccentric shaft 37 rotates, it can slide along the sliding groove 38, thereby driving the rotating rod 36 to deflect back and forth with the rotating shaft 2 32 as the center of the circle, and the rotating rod 36 drives the fan gear 35 to rotate back and forth with the rotating shaft 2 32 as the center of the circle, thereby driving the rack 34 to move back and forth. When the rack 34 moves back and forth, it can drive the storage box 40 to move back and forth through the connecting block 39. When the storage box 40 moves back and forth along the front and rear width direction of the breeding chamber 11, the fermented wood chips 101 in the storage chamber 41 can be sprinkled out, so that the fermented wood chips 101 in the storage chamber 41 are evenly sprinkled in the breeding chamber 11, and the working An angle sensor is set on the shaft 26. When the angle sensor detects that the angle value of the working shaft 26 changes, the angle sensor is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 18 through the controller. The electric telescopic rod 18 drives the baffle plate 21 to leave the discharge port 42, so that the fermented wood chips 101 in the storage chamber 41 fall into the breeding chamber 11. When the rotating shaft 29 drives the fixed block 31 to move a certain distance, the fixed block 31 can drive the storage box 40 to move a certain distance along the left and right length direction of the delivery room 1 through the fixed block 2 33, the rack 34 and the connecting block 3 39, and each time the storage box 40 moves a certain distance in the length direction of the discharge port 42, the fermented wood chips 101 are further evenly sprinkled in the breeding chamber 11.

[0060] With the coordinated operation of the material spraying mechanism and the compaction mechanism of the present invention, after installing the delivery room 1 on the mounting plate 3, the drive motor two 15 drives the motor shaft 20 to rotate, which can drive the material storage box 40 to move left and right along the breeding cavity 11, that is, the material storage box 40 first moves to the right and then to the left. After the material storage box 40 moves a certain distance each time, the disc 30 will rotate one circle, driving the material storage box 40 to spray material while moving along the front and back directions of the breeding cavity 11. The moving stroke of the material storage box 40 along the front and back directions is the same as the length of the breeding cavity 11 along the front and back directions. This process is repeated until the material storage box 40 returns to its original position. Then, the cam 12 is rotated to drive the compaction plate 5 to work. When the compaction plate 5 moves to the uppermost position, it is higher than the position of the upper end of the fixed block one 31, enabling the fixed block one 31 to move freely. After the material storage box 40 returns to its original position, the material storage box 40 is no longer located above the breeding cavity 11, allowing the compaction plate 5 to smoothly enter the breeding cavity 11. By operating the drive motor one 16 and the drive motor two 15, the functions of laying, pressing, and compaction degree detection of the fermented wood chips 101 in the breeding cavity 11 can be automatically completed, which is convenient for operation and does not require manual laying and pressing, saving time and effort.

[0061] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
