Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parasitic wasp breeding technology, and more specifically, to a device and method for breeding and rapidly extracting parasitic wasps. Background Technology

[0002] Parasitic wasps are a type of insect with unique parasitic habits in nature. They lay their eggs inside or on the body of other insect larvae, pupae, or adults, using their hosts as a food source to complete their growth and development. Throughout the developmental stage, the parasitic wasp larvae continuously consume the host's nutrients, eventually leading to the host's death due to resource depletion or organ damage. These insects play an irreplaceable and important role in the ecosystem. They help maintain ecological balance by naturally regulating the host population. Therefore, parasitic wasps are widely used in biological control practices in agriculture and forestry as an environmentally friendly pest management method, effectively inhibiting the excessive reproduction of pests, significantly reducing dependence on chemical pesticides, and thus better protecting the ecological environment and biodiversity.

[0003] According to patent document CN118318801A, a device and method for incubating and rapidly extracting parasitic wasps are disclosed, relating to the field of parasitic wasp breeding equipment. The device includes a visualized incubation chamber and an adult wasp extraction chamber, arranged side by side, with their chambers interconnected through a connecting protrusion and a connecting hole. The incubation chamber includes a main body containing a constant temperature plate, an egg card incubation area, and a nutrient replenishment area; the constant temperature plate is electrically connected to a temperature controller. The adult wasp extraction chamber includes an extraction chamber main body containing multiple adult wasp extraction chambers and an adjustable lamp tube, which is electrically connected to a light regulator. This invention has a reasonable layout, is simple to operate, can meet various incubation temperature settings, improves the hatching rate of parasitic wasps, and utilizes the phototaxis of parasitic wasps to attract a sufficient number of wasps into the adult wasp extraction chambers through light, improving the efficiency of adult wasp extraction and reducing the damage rate of adults.

[0004] In the artificial incubation of parasitic wasps during the ovulation period, the traditional method involves injecting the wasp eggs into the pupa of the wax moth as a carrier for parasitic incubation. However, in artificial environments, parasitic wasp eggs are usually directly incubated in an incubation chamber without the wax moth pupa as a natural host. Due to the lack of a suitable parasitic environment and nutritional support, parasitic wasps often fail to achieve the expected hatching results during development, exhibiting problems such as decreased hatching rate, prolonged development cycle, and small size. At the same time, the survival rate of hatched parasitic wasps is significantly lower than that of parasitic incubation using the wax moth pupa as a carrier due to their weak environmental adaptability and poor resistance. Therefore, in practical applications, simulating natural parasitic conditions and providing suitable parasitic carriers are still of great significance in order to improve the hatching quality and survival performance of parasitic wasps. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this invention provides a device and method for incubating and rapidly extracting parasitic wasps. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that, in artificial environments, parasitic wasp eggs are typically incubated directly in an incubation chamber, lacking a natural host such as the wax moth pupa. Due to the lack of a suitable parasitic environment and nutritional support, parasitic wasps often fail to achieve the expected hatching results during development, exhibiting problems such as decreased hatching rate, prolonged development cycle, and small size. Furthermore, the survival rate of hatched parasitic wasps is significantly lower than that of parasitic incubation methods using wax moth pupae as a carrier due to their weak environmental adaptability and poor resistance. Therefore, in practical applications, simulating natural parasitic conditions and providing suitable parasitic carriers remain of great significance in improving the hatching quality and survival rate of parasitic wasps.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: a hinge plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the columnar upright near the chassis, and a rotating plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hinge plate in a ring array. The side of the multiple rotating plates away from the hinge plate is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner side of multiple inverted L-shaped rotating plates, and a C-shaped side hinge plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of multiple sets of horizontal side plates.

[0018] In addition, the present invention also relates to a method of using a parasitic wasp incubation and rapid extraction device, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the incubation room and adult breeding room to ensure a clean and hygienic environment free of impurities and germs, creating favorable conditions for subsequent parasitic wasp incubation;

[0020] Step 2: Prepare artificially made pupae rich in nutrients and attach them to the inside of multiple artificial pupae placement frames;

[0021] Step 3: Place the parasitic wasps in the adult chamber during the egg-laying period, and then start the electric push rod. Following the mechanical linkage process described above, the cultivation component unfolds, and the artificial pupa placement frame unfolds to the outer wall of the closed bottom cylinder through multiple grooves. The warm lamp starts to work and emits a suitable temperature. At the same time, the closed chamber moves to the rear side to form a sealed space with the connecting seat. The electric door on the rear side of the adult chamber opens, and the parasitic wasps in the egg-laying period are attracted by the warm lamp to fly to the vicinity of the unfolded cultivation component and inject their eggs into the artificial pupae on the artificial pupa placement frame.

[0022] Step 4: After a certain period of time, most of the parasitic wasps have completed egg inoculation. At this time, the electric door at the rear of the adult chamber continues to open, and the attraction light source device in the adult chamber further attracts the parasitic wasps that have completed egg inoculation, causing them to gradually fly away from the area and enter the adult chamber. Then the electric door is closed, and the electric push rod is restarted to reverse the operation, causing the breeding components to retract and return to their initial state. The tube cover closes to seal the bottom tube, the warm lamp continues to work to maintain a suitable temperature, and the sealed chamber moves forward and separates from the connecting seat.

[0023] Step 5: During the development of parasitic wasp eggs, regularly check the temperature, humidity, light and other conditions in the incubation room, and adjust them according to the actual situation to ensure that the environmental conditions are always suitable for the development of parasitic wasp eggs. At the same time, observe the development of parasitic wasp eggs in the artificial pupa placement frame and keep records.

[0024] Step Six: After the parasitic wasps successfully complete their pupal development and emerge as adults, the operator opens the exit of the adult chamber in advance to release the mature parasitic wasps that were originally in the adult chamber. Then, the above parasitic wasp breeding process is repeated, and the breeding components are re-expanded so that the adult breeding chamber and the incubation chamber are closed again to form a closed and independent space, guiding the newly emerged adult parasitic wasps to fly into the adult chamber on their own.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0026] This invention, by setting up an incubation chamber and an adult rearing chamber, achieves automated and precise control of the parasitic wasp incubation and rapid extraction process. Through precise driving of an electric push rod, the various components of the rearing assembly are coordinated and linked, allowing the artificial pupa placement frame to expand and retract as needed. This provides a suitable spatial environment for the injection of parasitic wasp eggs and their subsequent development. Simultaneously, the movable and sealed design of the enclosed chamber effectively isolates the adult rearing chamber and the incubation chamber, avoiding mutual interference between parasitic wasps at different stages and improving rearing efficiency. The inclusion of a warming lamp and an attractive light source device not only provides stable temperature conditions for the incubation of parasitic wasp eggs but also cleverly guides the behavior of the parasitic wasps, achieving precise egg injection and smooth separation of adults. The entire device is rationally designed, easy to operate, and can efficiently complete the entire rearing cycle of parasitic wasps from egg to adult, providing strong support for the large-scale artificial rearing of parasitic wasps.

The top of multiple artificial pupa placement frame connecting rods 12113 is fixedly connected to artificial pupa placement frames 12114. The top of the outer wall of multiple artificial pupa placement frame connecting rods 12113 is rotatably connected to multiple inverted L-shaped... The top inner side of the rotating plate 1219, the adult insect rearing chamber 2 includes a closed chamber 21, the front side of which is fixedly connected to an adult insect chamber 23. The front sides of the bottom of both the left and right sides of the closed chamber 21 are rotatably connected to closed chamber rotating rods 22. The inner bottom of the closed chamber 21 is slidably connected to the front side of the outer wall of two guide side rods 110. The left and right sides of the bottom of the closed chamber 21 are slidably connected to the front side of the top of the guide base plate 111. The rear sides of the inner sides of the two closed chamber rotating rods 22 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the lifting crossbar 19.

[0041] When artificial incubation of parasitic wasps during their egg-laying period is required, the wasps are first placed in the adult chamber 23. The rear of the adult chamber 23 has a controllable electric door. Artificially made, nutrient-rich pupae are then attached and laid inside multiple artificial pupae placement frames 12114. After preparation, the electric push rod 17 is activated. The electric push rod 17 pulls the push block 18, causing the lifting crossbar 19 to move upwards along the guide plate 13. The upward movement of the lifting crossbar 19 causes the lifting pull rod 12116 to slide within the guide groove 14. The upward movement of the lifting pull rod 12116 causes the columnar upright rod 1212 to move upwards. The upward movement of the columnar upright rod 1212 causes the hinge plate 1213 to move upwards. The upward movement of the hinge plate 1213 causes the rotating plate 1214 to rotate. The rotation changes the angle, thereby pushing the inverted L-shaped rotating plate 1219 to rotate. The rotation of the inverted L-shaped rotating plate 1219 drives the artificial pupa placement frame connecting rod 12113 to rotate, thereby causing the artificial pupa placement frame 12114 to gradually unfold as the columnar upright rod 1212 rises. The columnar upright rod 1212 moves upward, thereby pushing the cylinder cover 123 to the top. Multiple artificial pupa placement frames 12114 unfold through multiple grooves 124 opened in the closed bottom cylinder 122 to the outer wall of the closed bottom cylinder 122. At the same time, the warm lamp 12112 on the top of the outer wall of the columnar upright rod 1212 starts to work, emitting light and emitting a suitable temperature. When the columnar upright rod 1212 rises to a certain height, the electric push rod 17 stops working. At this time, the various components in the incubation chamber 1 reach a stable relative position.

[0042] As the lifting crossbar 19 moves to the top, it drives the two closed chamber rotating levers 22 to move upward. Since the closed chamber rotating levers 22 are rotatably connected to the closed chamber 21, and the bottom of the closed chamber 21 is slidably connected to the front side of the top of the guide base plate 111 and the bottom of the inner side is slidably connected to the front side of the outer wall of the guide side rod 110, the closed chamber 21 will move backward along the predetermined trajectory under the guidance of the guide base plate 111 and the guide side rod 110. As the adult insect breeding chamber 2 moves backward as a whole, the closed chamber 21 is fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting seat 11, and the closed chamber 21 and the connecting seat 11 form a sealed space. At this time, the electric door on the rear side of the adult insect chamber 23 opens, and the parasitic wasps in the egg-laying period fly to the vicinity of the unfolded breeding component 12 by the attraction of the warm lamp 12112, and inject their eggs into the artificial pupa placement frame 12114, which is covered with artificially made nutrient artificial pupae.

[0043] After a certain period of time, most of the parasitic wasps have injected their eggs into the artificial pupae. At this time, the electric door on the rear side of the adult chamber 23 continues to open. Through the attraction light source device placed inside the adult chamber 23, the parasitic wasps that have completed egg injection are further attracted, gradually flying away from the area and into the adult chamber 23, closing the electric door on the rear side. Then, the electric push rod 17 is activated again, causing it to operate in reverse, pushing the push block 18 to move the lifting crossbar 19 downward along the guide plate 13, thereby moving a series of related components downward. The artificial pupae placement frame 12114 follows. As the columnar upright 1212 descends, it gradually closes and returns to its initial state. At this time, the multiple artificial pupa placement frames 12114 that have been injected with eggs close, the cylinder cover 123 moves downward to close and seal the bottom cylinder 122, and the heating lamp 12112 continues to work to maintain a suitable temperature environment inside the artificial pupa placement frame 12114, providing stable conditions for the incubation of eggs. As the electric push rod 17 continues to operate in the reverse direction, the closed chamber rotation pull rod 22 also moves downward, driving the closed chamber 21 to move forward along the guide bottom plate 111 and the guide side rod 110, gradually separating from the connecting seat 11.

[0044] As time goes by, the parasitic wasp eggs continue to develop in a suitable environment with appropriate temperature, humidity, and light, gradually going through key growth stages such as egg, larva, and pupa. When the parasitic wasp successfully completes its pupal development and emerges as an adult, the operator releases the emerged parasitic wasps from the adult chamber 23 beforehand. Then, the parasitic wasp breeding process is repeated, and the entire device of the breeding component 12 is re-unfolded. At this time, the adult breeding chamber 2 and the incubation chamber 1 close again, forming a closed independent space. In this state, the newly emerged adult parasitic wasps are guided by the environment and actively fly into the adult chamber 23. Thus, a complete parasitic wasp egg breeding cycle is completed.

[0045] In addition, the present invention also relates to a method of using a parasitic wasp incubation and rapid extraction device, comprising the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the incubation room 1 and the adult breeding room 2 to ensure that the internal environment is clean and hygienic, free of impurities and germs, so as to create good conditions for subsequent parasitic wasp incubation.

[0047] Step 2: Prepare artificially made pupae rich in nutrients and attach them to the inside of multiple artificial pupae placement frames 12114;

[0048] Step 3: Place the parasitic wasps in the adult chamber 23 during the egg-laying period, and then start the electric push rod 17. According to the mechanical linkage process described above, the cultivation component 12 is unfolded. The artificial pupa placement frame 12114 unfolds to the outer wall of the closed bottom cylinder 122 through the multiple grooves 124 opened in the closed bottom cylinder 122. The heat lamp 12112 starts to work and emits light and emits a suitable temperature. At the same time, the closed chamber 21 moves to the rear side to form a sealed space with the connecting seat 11. The electric door on the rear side of the adult chamber 23 opens. The parasitic wasps in the egg-laying period are attracted by the heat lamp 12112 and fly to the vicinity of the unfolded cultivation component 12, and inject their eggs into the artificial pupae on the artificial pupa placement frame 12114.

[0049] Step 4: After a certain period of time, most of the parasitic wasps have completed egg inoculation. At this time, the electric door at the rear of the adult chamber 23 continues to open, and the attraction light source device in the adult chamber 23 further attracts the parasitic wasps that have completed egg inoculation, causing them to gradually fly away from the area and enter the adult chamber 23. Then the electric door is closed, and the electric push rod 17 is started again to reverse the operation, so that the breeding component 12 is retracted and returned to its initial state. The tube cover 123 closes and seals the bottom tube 122. The heating lamp 12112 continues to work to maintain a suitable temperature. The sealed chamber 21 moves forward and separates from the connecting seat 11.

[0050] Step 5: During the development of parasitic wasp eggs, regularly check the temperature, humidity, light and other conditions in the incubation room 1, and adjust them according to the actual situation to ensure that the environmental conditions are always suitable for the development of parasitic wasp eggs. At the same time, observe the development of parasitic wasp eggs in the artificial pupa placement frame 12114 and keep records.

[0051] Step Six: After the parasitic wasps successfully complete their pupal development and emerge as adults, the operator opens the exit of the adult chamber 23 in advance to release the mature parasitic wasps that were originally in the adult chamber 23. Then, the above parasitic wasp cultivation process is repeated, and the cultivation component 12 is reopened so that the adult cultivation chamber 2 and the incubation chamber 1 are closed again to form a closed and independent space, guiding the newly emerged adult parasitic wasps to fly into the adult chamber 23.

[0052] Working principle of the invention: The electric push rod 17 is activated, pulling the push block 18 and causing the lifting crossbar 19 to move upward along the guide plate 13. The upward movement of the lifting crossbar 19 causes the lifting pull rod 12116 to slide within the guide groove 14. The upward movement of the lifting pull rod 12116 causes the columnar upright 1212 to move upward, which in turn causes the hinge plate 1213 to move upward. The upward movement of the hinge plate 1213 causes the rotating plate 1214 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 1214 changes its angle, thus pushing the inverted L-shaped rotating plate 1219 to rotate. The rotation of the inverted L-shaped rotating plate 1219 causes the artificial pupa placement frame connecting rod 12113 to rotate, thereby causing the artificial pupa placement frame 12114 to move along with the columnar upright 12116. As 212 rises, it gradually unfolds, and the columnar upright 1212 moves upward, pushing the cylinder cover 123 to the top. Multiple artificial pupa placement frames 12114 unfold through multiple grooves 124 opened in the closed bottom cylinder 122 to the outer wall of the closed bottom cylinder 122. At the same time, the warm lamp 12112 at the top of the outer wall of the columnar upright 1212 starts to work, emitting light and a suitable temperature. When the columnar upright 1212 rises to a certain height, the electric push rod 17 stops working. At this time, the various components in the incubation chamber 1 reach a stable relative position. As the lifting crossbar 19 moves to the top, it drives the two closed chamber rotation pull rods 22 to move upward. The closed chamber 21 is guided by the bottom plate 111 and the guide side rod 110. Guided by the direction, the parasitic wasps move backward along a predetermined trajectory. As the adult rearing chamber 2 moves backward as a whole, the sealed chamber 21 fits onto the outer wall of the connecting seat 11, forming a sealed space. At this time, the electric door at the rear of the adult chamber 23 opens, and the parasitic wasps in the oviposition period fly to the vicinity of the unfolded rearing component 12 by the attraction of the warm lamp 12112, and inject their eggs into the artificial pupa placement frame 12114, which is covered with artificially made nutrient-rich pupae. After a certain period of time, most of the parasitic wasps have injected their eggs into the artificial pupae. At this time, the electric door at the rear of the adult chamber 23 continues to open, and the parasitic wasps that have completed egg injection are further attracted by the attraction light source device placed inside the adult chamber 23, gradually... The insect flies away from the area and into the adult chamber 23, closing the rear electric door. Then, the electric push rod 17 is activated again, reversing its operation. This pushes the push block 18, causing the lifting crossbar 19 to move downwards along the guide plate 13, which in turn moves a series of related components downwards. The artificial pupa placement frame 12114 gradually closes as the columnar upright 1212 descends, returning to its initial state. At this time, multiple artificial pupa placement frames 12114, already inoculated with eggs, close. The cylinder cover 123 moves downwards, closing and sealing the bottom cylinder 122. The heating lamp 12112 continues to operate, maintaining a suitable temperature environment within the artificial pupa placement frame 12114, providing stable conditions for egg incubation. As the electric push rod 17 continues to reverse its operation, the rotating pull rod 22 of the sealed chamber also moves downwards.The enclosed chamber 21 moves forward along the guide base plate 111 and guide side rod 110, gradually separating from the connecting seat 11. Over time, the parasitic wasp eggs continue to develop in a suitable environment with appropriate temperature, humidity, and light, gradually going through key growth stages such as egg, larva, and pupa. Once the parasitic wasp successfully completes its pupal development and emerges as an adult, the operator releases the emerged parasitic wasps from the adult chamber 23. Then, the parasitic wasp rearing process is repeated, and the entire rearing assembly 12 is reassembled. At this point, the adult rearing chamber 2 and the incubation chamber 1 close again, forming a new closed, independent space. In this state, the newly emerged adult parasitic wasps are guided by the environment and actively fly into the adult chamber 23. Thus, a complete parasitic wasp egg rearing cycle is completed.

3. A method of using a parasitic wasp incubation and rapid extraction device, as described in claim 2, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: Step 1: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the incubation room (1) and the adult breeding room (2) to ensure that the internal environment is clean and hygienic, free of impurities and germs, so as to create good conditions for subsequent parasitic wasp incubation; Step 2: Prepare artificially made pupae rich in nutrients and attach them to the inside of multiple artificial pupae placement frames (12114); Step 3: Place the parasitic wasps in the adult chamber (23) during the ovulation period, and then start the electric push rod (17). According to the mechanical linkage process described above, the cultivation component (12) is unfolded, and the artificial pupa placement frame (12114) unfolds to the outer wall of the closed bottom cylinder (122) through multiple grooves (124) opened in the closed bottom cylinder (122). The heat lamp (12112) starts to work and emits light and emits a suitable temperature. At the same time, the closed chamber (21) moves to the rear side and forms a sealed space with the connecting seat (11). The electric door on the rear side of the adult chamber (23) opens, and the parasitic wasps in the ovulation period are attracted by the heat lamp (12112) and fly to the vicinity of the unfolded cultivation component (12), and inject their eggs into the artificial pupae on the artificial pupa placement frame (12114). Step 4: After a certain period of time, most of the parasitic wasps have completed the egg inoculation. At this time, the electric door on the back of the adult chamber (23) continues to open. The attraction light source device in the adult chamber (23) further attracts the parasitic wasps that have completed the egg inoculation, causing them to gradually fly away from the area and enter the adult chamber (23). Then the electric door is closed, and the electric push rod (17) is started again to reverse the operation, so that the breeding component (12) is closed and restored to its initial state. The tube cover (123) closes and seals the bottom tube (122). The heat lamp (12112) continues to work to maintain a suitable temperature. The sealed chamber (21) moves forward and separates from the connecting seat (11). Step 5: During the development of parasitic wasp eggs, regularly check the temperature, humidity, light and other conditions in the incubation room (1) and make adjustments according to the actual situation to ensure that the environmental conditions are always suitable for the development of parasitic wasp eggs. At the same time, observe the development of parasitic wasp eggs in the artificial pupa placement frame (12114) and make records. Step 6: After the parasitic wasps successfully complete their pupal development and emerge as adults, the operator opens the exit of the adult chamber (23) in advance to release the mature parasitic wasps that were originally in the adult chamber (23). Then, the above parasitic wasp breeding process is repeated, and the breeding components (12) are re-expanded so that the adult breeding chamber (2) and the incubation chamber (1) are closed again to form a closed independent space, guiding the newly emerged adult parasitic wasps to fly into the adult chamber (23).
