Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of American cockroach breeding, in particular to an automatic feeding device for breeding American cockroaches. Background Art

[0002] As an important medicinal insect, American cockroach has received extensive attention and application in the breeding industry in recent years. With the expansion of breeding scale, the requirements for breeding technology are getting higher and higher. The automatic feeding device is a key equipment in the breeding process of American cockroaches. Its performance directly affects the breeding effect and economic benefits.

[0003] Although the existing automatic feeding devices for breeding American cockroaches have achieved automated feeding to a certain extent, there are still some shortcomings. First, the existing feeding devices often lack the function of stirring the feed. Since the feed ingredients may be uneven, or the feed may clump due to long-term storage, if it is not stirred, the American cockroaches may not be able to obtain balanced nutrition when feeding, affecting their growth rate and health. Secondly, the existing feeding devices are also insufficient in preventing American cockroaches from running into the feed pipe. American cockroaches have a certain climbing ability. If effective anti-escape measures are not taken, they can easily enter the pipe through the feed outlet, which may not only cause blockage of the pipe, but also interfere with the normal operation of the device.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 An automatic feeding device for breeding American cockroaches comprises a bottom plate 1, a breeding box 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 and a support rod 3, wherein the top of the support rod 3 is provided with a feeding structure for delivering food to the American cockroaches.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding structure includes a feeding pipe 4 fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 3, a silo 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feeding pipe 4, a first motor 6 fixedly connected to the left side of the feeding pipe 4, a rotating rod 7 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 6, a spiral blade 8 fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 7, and a discharge pipe 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding pipe 4.

[0027] The left side of the breeding box 2 is provided with an auxiliary component for auxiliary feeding.

[0028] A lighting assembly for stimulating the American cockroach to eat is provided on the right side of the breeding box 2.

[0029] It should be noted that the right end of the rotating rod 7 passes through the left side wall of the feeding pipe 4 and the center of the spiral blade 8 in sequence and is rotatably connected to the inner right side wall of the feeding pipe 4, and the bottom end of the feeding pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the breeding box 2.

[0030] The auxiliary component includes a second motor 10 fixedly connected to the left side of the breeding box 2, a connecting rod 11 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 10, a scattering fan blade 12 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 11, and a filter screen 13 in contact with the bottom of the scattering fan blade 12. The right end of the connecting rod 11 sequentially passes through the left side wall of the breeding box 2 and the center of the scattering fan blade 12 and is rotatably connected to the inner right side wall of the breeding box 2. The left side of the filter screen 13 is fixedly connected to the inner left side wall of the breeding box 2, and the right side of the filter screen 13 is fixedly connected to the inner right side wall of the breeding box 2.

[0031] The lighting assembly includes a frame 14 fixedly connected to the right side of the breeding box 2 and an LED lamp tube 15 fixedly connected between the top and bottom walls of the frame 14. A lighting port is opened on the right side wall of the breeding box 2, and the lighting port is located on the inner side of the frame 14. A laminated glass 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the lighting port. The laminated glass 16 is composed of two or more layers of glass with transparent materials such as polyvinyl butyral sandwiched in the middle. This structure not only improves the strength and impact resistance of the glass, but also can effectively prevent American cockroaches from penetrating or climbing. At the same time, the laminated glass 16 also has good light transmittance and can meet the lighting needs of the breeding box 2.

[0032] In addition, the electrical components appearing in the text are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device for control such as a computer, and the existing public power connection technology is not described in detail in the text.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0034] First, the first motor 6 is started to drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate, and the rotating rod 7 then drives the spiral blade 8 to rotate. After that, the feed is put into the silo 5, and the feed enters the inside of the feeding pipe 4 through the discharge port of the silo 5, thereby starting the feeding process. In this process, friction is generated between the spiral blade 8 and the feed. This friction is the main power source for the spiral blade 8 to push the feed. When the spiral blade 8 rotates, the contact surface between the blade and the feed will produce relative motion, thereby driving the feed to move along the axial direction of the spiral blade 8, pushing the feed from one end of the feeding pipe 4 to the other end of the feeding pipe 4, and allowing the feed to enter the breeding box 2 through the feed discharge pipe 9;

[0035] When the feed enters the breeding box 2, the second motor 10 is started to drive the connecting rod 11 to rotate, and the connecting rod 11 further drives the scattering blades 12 to rotate. During the rotation process, the scattering blades 12 not only mix and stir the feed, but also scatter the agglomerated feed to increase the fluidity of the feed, so that the feed can pass through the filter screen 13 to feed the American cockroaches, and the filter screen 13 prevents the American cockroaches from invading the interior of the feed delivery pipe 4;

[0036] In addition, the power of the LED lamp 15 is adjusted by the control device, and then the light intensity is adjusted. The light will pass through the laminated glass 16 and then irradiate the interior of the breeding box 2, thereby promoting the activity and feeding behavior of the American cockroach through light and improving the breeding efficiency.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.
