Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of predatory mite breeding, in particular to a device for storing and transporting predatory mites. Background Art

[0002] Predatory mites are an important natural enemy resource that can prey on micro-pests such as spider mites, gall mites, tarsonemes, thrips, fungus gnats, whiteflies, etc. They are widely used in organic food, greenhouses and other crops. Compared with chemical pesticides, predatory mites are environmentally friendly, small in size, fast in growth, strong in reproduction and predation, and can now be mass-produced at low cost and high efficiency.

[0003] For the storage and transportation of predatory mites, the most common packaging bottle in the prior art is a bottle structure, which includes a bottle body and a bottle cap, and the bottle cap is provided with air holes. When feeding, feed and predatory mites are placed in the bottle body, and the bottle cap is tightened. This feeding bottle has the following disadvantages:

[0004] During storage and transportation, the number of predatory mites in the packaging bottle will be subject to height restrictions, that is, the packaging bottle cannot accommodate too many predatory mites, otherwise it will have a negative impact on the breeding of predatory mites, resulting in the survival rate of storage and transportation being affected. For this reason, only the space below the height restriction in the packaging bottle is used to store predatory mites, which makes the space utilization rate of the packaging bottle low and cannot store predatory mite products for a long time.

[0005] In addition, when transporting predatory mites in a short time, several packaging bottles can only be placed adjacent to each other in a packaging box, because stacking them on top of each other will cause the air holes of the breeding bottles below to be blocked, which will in turn affect the predatory mites inside during transportation. Obviously, this will require more packaging boxes to pack several breeding bottles, resulting in low space utilization and high packaging and express transportation costs.

[0006] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently. Summary of the invention

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a device for storing and transporting predatory mites, which can solve the disadvantages of low utilization rate of storing predatory mites in packaging bottles in the prior art and high cost of transporting predatory mites. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0008] A device for storing and transporting predatory mites, comprising a container body with a hollow interior, the hollow interior being a storage space for holding predatory mites and feed, the container body also being provided with an opening connected to the storage space, a blocking member being provided at the opening and capable of blocking or not blocking the placement opening, a plurality of top air holes connected to the storage space being provided at the top of the container body, a supporting structure being provided at the top and / or bottom of the container body so that when two container bodies are stacked in a vertical direction, the bottom of the container body located at the upper position does not block the plurality of top air holes of the top of the container body located at the lower position, a plurality of side air holes connected to the storage space being provided at the side of the container body, and the storage space being provided so that its dimension in the vertical direction is larger than its dimension in the horizontal direction;

[0009] When storing and transporting predatory mites, the container is placed flat on its side on the feeding platform and the side air holes on the side thereof do not touch the feeding platform, the feed in the containing space is spread on the lower inner wall of the containing space and the feed partially or completely blocks the top air holes;

[0010] When the device is transported without predatory mites, a portion of the containing bodies are arranged adjacent to each other at the same height, and the remaining containing bodies are stacked on a corresponding containing body at the bottom in a vertical direction through the supporting structure.

[0011] Preferably, the containing body is an open bottle body, the opening forming the opening of the containing space, and further comprises a bottle cap detachably connected to the bottle body, the bottle cap forming the blocking member, and the bottle cap having the plurality of top air holes.

[0012] Preferably, a circular through hole with a diameter of 25-40 mm is provided in the middle of the bottle cap, and a top air-permeable net with a mesh size of 250-400 is fixedly laid in the circular through hole to form the plurality of top air-permeable holes.

[0013] Preferably, the bottle cap and the bottle body are threadedly connected.

[0014] Preferably, three support blocks are evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction on the upper surface of the bottle cap and located outside the circular perforation to form the support structure.

[0015] Preferably, the support block is a cylinder with a height of 3-6 mm and a diameter of 3-4 mm.

[0016] Preferably, a window with a square cross section is provided on the side of the bottle body, with a length of 40-60 mm and a width of 15-35 mm, and a side air permeable net with a mesh size of 250-400 is laid in the window to form the plurality of side air permeable holes.

[0017] Preferably, the window is located at a middle position of the bottle body in its height direction.

[0018] Preferably, the bottle body has a diameter of 65-95 mm and a height of 120-160 mm.

[0019] The provided device for storing and transporting predatory mites has the following technical effects:

[0020] The device is structured so that:

[0021] When storing and transporting predatory mites, the container is placed flat on its side on the feeding platform and the side air holes on the side thereof do not touch the feeding platform, the feed in the containing space is spread on the lower inner wall of the containing space and the feed partially or completely blocks the top air holes;

[0022] When the device is transported without predatory mites, a portion of the containing bodies are arranged adjacent to each other at the same height, and the remaining containing bodies are stacked on a corresponding containing body at the bottom in a vertical direction through the supporting structure.

[0023] The disadvantages of low utilization rate of storing predatory mites and high cost of transporting predatory mites in packaging bottles in the prior art can be solved. When storing and transporting predatory mites, the predatory mites are placed flat on their sides, which can better utilize the larger vertical dimension of the container when lying flat on its sides, increase the storage capacity of predatory mites, greatly improve the space utilization rate, and this placement method can ensure the survival rate of predatory mites; and when transporting, the support structure is used to realize vertical stacking, so that more devices can be transported in a limited space, and when the bottles equipped with predatory mites are transported over short distances, multiple bottles can be stacked by relying on the support structure, thereby reducing the packaging cost of short-distance transportation.

[0024] Furthermore, the specific arrangement of the plurality of side air holes can ensure that the environment inside the bottle is maintained during storage, which is more conducive to the survival of predatory mites. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
