[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the utility model.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The embodiment shown in the utility model specifically includes a growing bin 1 and a feeding turntable 2, wherein the growing bin 1 includes a bin body 11 and a bin cover 12. In order to facilitate installation and positioning, a first boss 121 is provided at the lower edge of the bin cover 12, and the first boss 121 can just be embedded in the upper opening of the bin body 11. The feeding turntable 2 is arranged above the bin cover 12, and a plurality of food bins 21 are arranged along the circumferential direction inside the feeding turntable 2. Correspondingly, a feeding hole 122 is provided on the bin cover 12. The feeding turntable 2 is driven by a stepper motor 3 to rotate relative to the growing bin 1, so that each food bin 21 can be connected to the bin body 11 through the feeding hole 122. In order to seal the stored food, a feeding turntable cover 22 is also provided above the food bin 21 to seal the food bin 21. When the stepper motor 3 drives the feeding turntable 2 to rotate so that the food bin 21 is aligned with the feeding hole 122, the insect food in the food bin 21 will fall from the feeding hole 122 into the bin body 11. In order to accurately control the stepper motor 3, the stepper motor 3 is controlled by the electric control box. The stepper motor 3 has an output shaft 31, and the bin cover 12 has a mounting hole 123 corresponding thereto. The stepper motor 3 is arranged below the bin cover 12, and the output shaft 31 passes through the mounting hole 123 of the bin cover 12 and is fixedly connected to the feeding turntable 2.

[0041] The bin body 11 includes a main bin 116, a plurality of expansion bins 117 and a chassis bin 118 which are stacked in sequence. The number of expansion bins 117 can be selected according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the size of the insect growth space. In order to facilitate installation and positioning, a second boss 1161 is provided at the lower edge of the main bin 116, and a third boss 1171 is provided at the lower edge of the expansion bin 117. The second boss 1161 can just fit into the upper opening of the expansion bin 117, and the third boss 1171 of the expansion bin 117 can fit into either the upper opening of the expansion bin 117 or the upper opening of the chassis bin 118.

[0042] The warehouse body 11 is also provided with a detection module 114, a heating module 111, a ventilation module 112 and a light strip 113. The detection module 114 is used to collect the temperature and humidity in the warehouse body 11. The heating module 111 is arranged at the bottom of the warehouse body 11, and is used to heat the temperature in the warehouse body 11 to the temperature required for the growth of insects. The temperature control range of the heating module 111 is: 25-30°C, and the temperature measurement error is ±1°C. The side wall of the warehouse body 11 is provided with ventilation holes 115, and the ventilation module 112 can be used to replace fresh air in the warehouse body 11. The light strip 113 is arranged at the top of the warehouse body 11 to provide light for simulating the growth environment of insects. When the detection module 114 detects that the temperature is lower than the set value, the heating module 111 is started until the temperature rises to the set range; when the detection module 114 detects that the humidity exceeds the predetermined value, the ventilation module 112 is started. In this way, the required environmental temperature, humidity and light can be provided according to the different growth stages of insects.

[0043] refer to Figure 3 The electric control box also includes a control module and a communication module. The detection module 114 sends the detected data to the control module, and the control module controls the stepper motor 3, the heating module 111, the ventilation module 112 and the light strip 113 according to the demand. This embodiment also includes a server and a client. The server is wirelessly connected to the communication module and the client respectively. The client can be a mobile Internet device, such as a smart phone. The user sets the temperature, humidity and light intensity on the client, and the server sends the parameters to the control module through the communication module. The control module compares the data collected by the detection module 114 with the parameters. When there are unsatisfied parameters, the relevant module will be started. The feeding time can also be set on the client. When the feeding time is reached, the control module will start the stepper motor 3 for feeding after receiving the instruction from the server. In this embodiment, there are 8 food bins 21, which can store 8 feedings. The types of feeding food are not limited to block, granular and living things.
