[0002] Environmental insects refer to a type of insects whose products (secretions, excretions, contents, etc.) or the insect bodies themselves can be used as human resources, have significant economic value, and whose population numbers have resource characteristics.

[0003] Environmental insects are insects that can promote the decomposition, transformation and recycling of organic waste in the environment. For example, white golden beetles and small blue beetles can transform crop straw, yellow mealworms can transform fruits and vegetables, and yellow mealworms, black soldier flies, and American cockroaches can transform and process kitchen waste. Using environmental insects to treat organic waste can not only solve the problems of environmental pollution and resource waste, but also transform waste into valuable products, such as insect protein and artificial soil based on insect feces. At the same time, because insects have a special Malpighian tubule system, they generally do not drink water directly, but use the water in food. Insects do not urinate, so there will be no secondary pollution. The dry and nutritious insect feces can improve the soil.

[0004] At present, the environmental insect breeding industry widely adopts multi-layer three-dimensional breeding, which requires the feeding, feeding and unloading management of each layer. Now most of them use manual transportation to take down the breeding boxes on each layer, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low breeding efficiency, thereby increasing labor costs, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale breeding; and the operation stability is poor, which easily causes problems such as stacking of environmental insects, uneven feeding and falling of breeding boxes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a driving device for circulating insect breeding boxes in an environment comprises a frame, and a plurality of steering sprockets 3 are symmetrically rotatably arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the frame, and circulating chains are respectively wound on the steering sprockets 3 on both sides, and each steering sprocket 3 is located at the steering section of the circulating chain, a plurality of rows of stacked breeding boxes 5 are arranged in the frame, and each breeding box 5 is located between two circulating chains, a rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the breeding box 5, and both ends of the rotating shaft 6 rotate and penetrate the corresponding circulating chains respectively and are rotatably connected to guide wheels 7, a first guide rail 10 is arranged on the outer side of the vertical section and the horizontal section of each circulating chain, and the guide wheel 7 is adapted to the first guide rail 10, a second guide rail 11 is arranged on the inner side of the horizontal section of each circulating chain, a balancing rod 8 is fixedly sleeved at a position corresponding to the second guide rail 11 on the rotating shaft 6, and both ends of the balancing rod 8 are rotatably connected to support rollers 9, and the support rollers 9 are adapted to the second guide rail 11, and at least one avoidance groove 16 adapted to the rotating shaft 6 is opened on the steering sprocket 3.

[0029] This design not only realizes the automated handling of the breeding boxes, eliminating the need for manual handling of the breeding boxes, thereby improving breeding efficiency, reducing breeding costs, and meeting large-scale breeding needs, but also the adaptation of the guide wheel 7 to the first guide rail 10, and the support roller 9 to the second guide rail 11, so that the breeding boxes can run stably during the movement, thereby providing a more stable growth environment for environmental insects, and improving breeding quality and efficiency.

[0030] The first guide rail 10 and the second guide rail 11 are both fixedly mounted on the frame.

[0031] In this embodiment, a concave guide rail is arranged on the outer side of the vertical section of each endless chain, and the guide wheel 7 is slidably arranged in the concave guide rail.

[0032] A convex guide rail is arranged on the outer side of the horizontal section of each endless chain, and the guide wheel 7 is slidably arranged on the convex guide rail.

[0033] The frame includes a front frame 1 and a rear frame 2, and a plurality of distance adjustment components 12 for adjusting the tension of the circulating chain are arranged between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2.

[0034] A plurality of moving wheels 13 are disposed at the bottom of the rear frame 2 , and an adjustable support seat 14 is disposed at one side of the moving wheels 13 at the bottom of the rear frame 2 .

[0035] When the rear frame 2 needs to be moved, the height of the adjustable support base 14 is adjusted to separate it from the ground, so that the moving wheels 13 are in contact with the ground, thereby facilitating the movement of the rear frame 2 through the moving wheels 13 .

[0036] When the rear frame 2 is moved to a suitable position, the height of the adjustable support seat 14 is adjusted to make it contact with the ground, and the moving wheels 13 are separated from the ground, thereby ensuring the stability of the support of the rear frame 2.

[0037] The distance adjustment assembly 12 includes a connecting column 121 , and two threaded rods 122 are symmetrically fixedly disposed at both ends of the connecting column 121 . Locking nuts 123 are symmetrically threadedly connected to the two threaded rods 122 , and the two threaded rods 122 have opposite rotation directions.

[0038] The ends of the two threaded rods 122 that are away from each other are both threadedly connected to the connecting seats 124 , and the sides of the two connecting seats 124 that are away from each other are fixedly connected to the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 respectively.

[0039] With this design, by adjusting the distance between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, the steering sprocket 3 installed on the rear frame 2 is driven to move, thereby adjusting the tension of the circulating chain to ensure the smooth operation of the circulating chain.

[0040] The distance between the breeding boxes 5 on the circulating chain is greater than the width of the breeding boxes 5 .

[0041] Such a design first ensures that there is sufficient spacing between adjacent breeding boxes 5, avoiding mutual interference between the breeding boxes 5 during movement, and enables the breeding boxes 5 to have a looser position on the circulating chain, which is conducive to the growth of insects.

[0042] The wavelength of the turning section of the circulating chain is greater than the width of the breeding box 5.

[0043] Such a design not only ensures that there is enough spacing between the breeding boxes 5, avoiding mutual interference between the breeding boxes 5 during movement, but also enables the breeding boxes 5 to have a looser position on the circulating chain, which is conducive to the growth of insects.

[0044] The cross section of the avoidance groove 16 is a V-shaped curved groove.

[0045] Such a design not only helps the rotating shaft 6 to move in the avoidance groove 16, making it easier for the rotating shaft 6 to enter and pass through; the V-shaped design also has a certain versatility and can better accommodate and avoid rotating shafts 6 of different diameters.

[0046] The device also includes at least one driving assembly 15, which is fixedly mounted on the frame and drives the two circulating chains to rotate synchronously.

[0047] The driving assembly 15 includes a driving motor 151 fixedly mounted on one side of the frame. The power output end of the driving motor 151 is transmission-connected to a first reduction structure, and the output end of the first reduction structure is transmission-connected to a transmission shaft 152.

[0048] One end of the transmission shaft 152 away from the first deceleration structure extends to the other side of the frame and is rotatably connected to a bearing seat, which is mounted on the frame.

[0049] In an embodiment, the first deceleration structure includes a driving pulley 153 drivingly connected to a power output end of a driving motor 151 , the driving pulley 153 is connected to a driven pulley 154 via a belt drive, and the driven pulley 154 is fixedly connected to a transmission shaft 152 .

[0050] In addition to this embodiment, the first reduction structure may also adopt a chain sprocket reduction structure, a worm gear reduction structure, etc.

[0051] Two second reduction structures are coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft 152 , and the output ends of the second reduction structures are fixedly connected to the corresponding steering sprockets 3 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the second deceleration structure includes a first gear 155 fixedly sleeved on the transmission shaft 152, and the first gear 155 is connected to the second gear 156 through a chain transmission.

[0053] In addition to this embodiment, the second reduction structure may also adopt a pulley belt reduction structure, a worm gear reduction structure, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment, the reduction transmission ratios of the first reduction structure and the second reduction structure are both greater than 3.

[0055] The wheel surface of the guide wheel 7 is provided with a groove matching the cross-sectional shape of the convex guide rail 11 .

[0056] The supporting roller 9 is a nylon roller.

[0057] In specific use, the drive motor 151 is started, and the drive motor 151 drives the transmission shaft 152 to rotate through the first reduction structure. The transmission shaft 152 drives the corresponding steering sprockets 3 to rotate through the two second reduction structures, thereby driving the two circulating chains to move synchronously and slowly, and then driving a number of breeding boxes 5 to move with the two circulating chains. At the same time, under the guiding action of the first guide rail 10 and the second guide rail 11, and the steering action of the steering sprocket 3, the breeding boxes 5 can move smoothly, thereby providing a more stable growth environment for environmental insects and improving breeding quality and efficiency.

[0058] During use, the sprocket chain will inevitably wear out due to the meshing force, and the influence of thermal expansion and contraction factors will cause the circulating chain to become loose or tight. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the tightness of the circulating chain according to the actual situation to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. First, adjust the height of the adjustable support seat 14 to separate it from the ground so that the moving wheel 13 is in contact with the ground, so that the rear frame 2 can be easily moved through the moving wheel 13, and then loosen the two locking nuts 123, and continue to screw the two locking nuts 123 to move the two locking nuts 123 to the appropriate position, and then rotate the connecting column 121. The rotation of the connecting column 121 drives the threaded rods 122 at both ends to move synchronously. Since the two threaded rods 122 rotate in opposite directions, the two connecting seats 124 are driven to move closer or farther away from each other, thereby driving the rear frame 2 to move. The movement of the rear frame 2 drives the steering sprocket 3 on it to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tension of the circulating chain to ensure the smooth operation of the circulating chain.

[0059] For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the teachings of the present invention, without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the implementation methods are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
