Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of breeding, in particular to a cultivation device which simulates the natural lighting conditions of a bright room in a breeding room for black soldier flies adults. Background Art

[0002] On the one hand, the continued growth of the global population and the constant pursuit of a higher quality of life are placing higher demands on the quality and quantity of the current food system. However, the overexploitation of the natural resources that food production relies on has become a constraint on its further development. On the other hand, our production and production activities generate a large amount of organic waste every year. Improper treatment and disposal not only pollutes the environment but also represents a huge waste of resources.

[0003] Therefore, biotransformation represented by black soldier fly farming can achieve high-value utilization of low-value organic waste. The produced insect products can be used as feed for animals and aquaculture, and the insect feces can be further processed into organic fertilizer for agricultural planting, which has received high attention worldwide.

[0004] In the process of black soldier flies processing organic matter, black soldier fly larvae need to be continuously consumed. How to achieve efficient mating and egg-laying of black soldier flies has become one of the important factors for reducing costs, increasing efficiency and sustainable development of black soldier fly breeding projects.

[0005] Currently, there are two main ways to obtain black soldier fly eggs for black soldier fly aquaculture projects: external procurement and in-house breeding. External procurement saves time, ensures a stable supply, and ensures controlled egg quality. However, it also increases project costs, introduces risks (such as unstable supply or disease issues), and lacks traceability (transparency of the source).

[0006] In-house breeding and egg-laying offers numerous advantages, including cost savings, self-sufficiency, and controlled quality. However, due to the long mating and egg-laying cycle of black soldier flies from larvae to adults, and the varying demands of the insects for food and growth conditions (ventilation, temperature, humidity, and light) at different stages, breeding projects for black soldier flies themselves often requires high technical requirements for mating and egg-laying. Inadequate management often leads to low mating rates, low egg production, and subpar egg quality.

[0007] Black soldier fly breeding and egg-laying equipment is currently attracting increasing attention and application. These facilities feature both dark and bright chambers, allowing for the transformation of black soldier flies from pupae to adults (dark chamber) and mating and egg-laying (bright chamber). The modular design and assembly of these facilities, along with the controllable internal environmental conditions, allow for the controlled egg-laying rate of black soldier flies. Lighting conditions are particularly critical within the bright chamber, among the many parameters that require artificial control within breeding and egg-laying equipment. Without the necessary wavelength and intensity of light, adult black soldier flies will mate with little or no success. Among various light source types, LEDs offer low energy consumption, minimal heat generation, strong controllability, and customizable wavelengths, making them ideal for completely replacing sunlight in industrial black soldier fly breeding. These light sources can meet the required light intensity and spectral characteristics for black soldier fly breeding and egg-laying. Comparative studies have found that natural light is the optimal lighting condition for black soldier fly breeding and egg-laying. Therefore, simulating natural light conditions within these facilities is crucial for this type of equipment. Utility Model Content

An entrance 107 connecting the dark room 200 and the bright room is provided on the side wall of the box 101; black soldier flies breed and lay eggs mainly in the bright room. When the black soldier flies pupate into adults, they fly from the dark room 200 into the bright room through the bright room adult entrance 107 that separates the dark room 200 from the bright room. The bright room is equipped with an LED breeding light source, primarily consisting of 102 LED tubes. Three LED tubes with a blue light spectrum (approximately 300-500 nanometers, with 440 nm optimal) are installed along the top of the bright room at intervals of 0.5, 1.5, and 1.5 meters. Two LED tubes with a green light spectrum (approximately 500-650 nanometers, with 540 nm optimal) are installed along the bottom of the bright room at intervals of 1.25 and 1.5 meters. Once installed, the light density in the bright room can reach 135-200 μmol / m².

[0044] Illumination sensor 106 detects the light intensity of the LED light source in the bright room.

Illumination sensor 106 is screw-mounted on the inner wall of the bright room, located in the center of the wall, to more accurately measure the brightness within the bright room.

[0045] Data recorder 103 is connected to illuminance sensor 106 using a shielded data cable with an aviation plug. Data recorder 103 receives and processes signals transmitted from illuminance sensor 106, and provides feedback on the light intensity in the bright room through a visual display on illuminance sensor 106. Data recorder 103 is mounted on the side wall of housing 101 for easy viewing and setup.

[0046] Based on the signal collection and processing from illumination sensor 106 and data recorder 103, illumination controller 104 adjusts the brightness of the LED light source according to preset parameters, thereby simulating a predetermined light intensity and controlling the indoor lighting conditions.
