Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a full-track three-dimensional automatic breeding device for insect larvae, which comprises a basic breeding track group, a conveying track group, a feeding track, an air-drying breeding track group, a moving material return track group and a fan. Background Art
[0002] The intestines of poultry are short, and their feces are rich in nutrients, which are one of the natural food sources for insect larvae. Using a certain method for insect larvae to eat and decompose as a livestock and poultry manure resource utilization technology, its principle is similar to using earthworms to treat manure, but insect larvae have the advantages of fast growth rate and high conversion rate. Using insect larvae to treat livestock and poultry manure can effectively deodorize, drive away flies, remove pathogenic bacteria and other harmless effects, and the cultivated insect larvae can continue to feed poultry, with good economic and social benefits. However, at present, in poultry farms, there are already cases of using insect larvae to decompose manure to achieve waste comprehensive utilization, but it is still mostly in the form of manual manure stacking for breeding. This method mainly stacks poultry manure on the bottom plate, places the insect seedlings of a certain kind of insect larvae on the manure, and uses manual methods such as turning the material for breeding. This breeding method requires a large amount of labor, occupies a large amount of space, and has low work efficiency.
[0003] Combined with practical applications, directly placing the mixture of poultry manure and insect larvae on multiple groups of juxtaposed and stacked conveyor belts for breeding can effectively save breeding space. The breeding tracks are automatically driven, and functions such as turning the breeding mixture, conveying, and air-drying can be performed. Breeding insect larvae directly on the conveyor belt for conveying materials and using the drive of the conveyor belt for automatic turning of the materials can effectively save the labor and material resources for turning the materials, and the breeding tracks adopt a multi-layer stacked structure, which multiplies the breeding area and reduces labor and material resources.
[0004] There are some devices for breeding insect larvae with poultry manure on the market, but they all belong to relatively small breeding devices, such as breeding boxes, etc., and the breeding scale is very limited. There are also stacked breeding plates, breeding sieves and other breeding devices for insect larvae on the market, but they still fail to achieve functions such as automatic control. These devices cannot be organically combined to form an automatic insect device for treating poultry manure suitable for large-scale poultry farms.
[0005] Through practice, for large-scale poultry farms, tracks that can be controlled to operate can be used for breeding insect larvae based on poultry manure. Through technical comparison, a technical solution has been designed to convey the mixture of insect manure under the chicken coop cage to the air-drying track for breeding insect larvae, but this solution only breeds insect larvae on the air-drying track, with a small breeding area and no functions such as material return and discharge. The technology has defects and insufficient flexibility. No automatic breeding device for insect larvae that uses a full-track type and has functions including primary three-dimensional breeding, material conveying, multi-layer breeding on the air-drying track, temperature reduction and humidity dehumidification, etc. has been found. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to provide a method for culturing insect larvae on a stacked basic breeding track group and a stacked breeding track group with an air-drying function.
