It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that manual cleaning of insect excrement in a breeding box is required, the utility model provides a three-dimensional mealworm breeding device and system, which can reduce the manual cleaning of insect excrement in the breeding box.

[0044] It should be noted that the three-dimensional mealworm breeding device and system described in the present invention are used for but not limited to the breeding of mealworms. For the convenience of explanation, in the present invention, only the application of the three-dimensional mealworm breeding device and system to mealworm breeding is used as an example for explanation. The principle of applying the three-dimensional mealworm breeding device and system to other types of breeding equipment is essentially the same as the principle applied to mealworm breeding, and will not be repeated here.

[0045] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of a three-dimensional mealworm breeding device in one embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a three-dimensional mealworm breeding device, comprising a support assembly 1 and multiple breeding assemblies 2. The multiple breeding assemblies 2 are sequentially arranged on the support assembly 1 along the height direction. The breeding assembly 2 includes a frame 21 and a screen 22. The frame 21 is connected to the support assembly 1 and forms a breeding cavity with an opening at the bottom of the breeding cavity. The screen 22 is connected to the frame 21 and is arranged at the bottom opening of the frame 21. Among them, the mesh size of the screen 22 in the multiple breeding assemblies 2 increases sequentially downward along the height direction.

[0046] The mealworms are arranged in the breeding cavities of the multiple breeding components 2 in order of size from small to large, and the size of the mealworms in the multiple breeding cavities increases in sequence along the height direction downward. The feed is fed into the breeding cavities, and the mealworms eat the feed and form insect feces. The mealworms are intercepted above the screen 22. The size of the insect feces is much smaller than that of the mealworms. Under the push of gravity and the wriggling mealworms, the insect feces pass through the screen 22 and fall into the breeding cavity below. The mealworms below can digest some nutrients in the insect feces that are not fully digested by the mealworms above. While reducing the manual cleaning of insect feces in the breeding box, it can also increase the utilization rate of the feed.

[0047] When the mealworms are cultured to different stages, the mealworms can be transferred to the breeding component 2 of the corresponding stage.

[0048] The number of the breeding components 2 can be two, three, four or more.

[0049] The frame body 21 may be a frame-type structure with both the top and the bottom open, or a frame-type structure with the bottom open and one or more sides open.

[0050] It should be understood that the support assembly 1 can be various types of support structures, such as a support frame, a support cabinet, etc. Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support assembly 1 includes a plurality of columns 11 and a plurality of support members 12, the plurality of columns 11 are parallel to each other and arranged at intervals, the plurality of support members 12 are distributed at intervals along the height direction of the columns 11, the support members 12 connect the plurality of columns 11, and a fixed position for accommodating the breeding assembly 2 is formed on the support members 12.

[0051] By providing a plurality of support members 12 , the fixing positions on the plurality of support members 12 can fix a plurality of breeding assemblies 2 , so that the breeding assemblies 2 can be distributed at intervals along the vertical direction.

[0052] It should be understood that the number of the columns 11 can be four, six, eight, etc.

[0053] It should be understood that the support member 12 can be a hollow support net, a support frame, etc. Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support member 12 includes at least two transverse support rods 121 and at least two longitudinal support rods 122. At least two transverse support rods 121 are arranged between two adjacent columns 11, and the two ends of the transverse support rod 121 are connected to the two adjacent columns 11. At least two longitudinal support rods 122 are arranged between two adjacent columns 11, and the two ends of the longitudinal support rod 122 are connected to the two adjacent columns 11. The longitudinal support rods 122 are arranged perpendicular to the transverse support rods 121.

[0054] When the breeding assembly 2 needs to be fixed, the breeding assembly 2 is placed on two opposite transverse support rods 121 or two opposite longitudinal support rods 122 , and the breeding assembly 2 is supported by the opposite transverse support rods 121 or two opposite longitudinal support rods 122 .

[0055] It should be understood that the number of the transverse support rods 121 and the longitudinal support rods 122 can be two, four, six, eight, etc.

[0056] In one embodiment, there are four columns 11, and the number of transverse support rods 121 and longitudinal support rods 122 are both two. The four columns 11 are parallel to each other and arranged in a rectangular array. The two transverse support rods 121 are arranged between the two transverse columns 11, and the two longitudinal support rods 122 are arranged between the two longitudinal columns 11.

[0057] Specifically, in the breeding assembly 2 , the frame 21 is placed on two opposite transverse support rods 121 or two opposite longitudinal support rods 122 .

[0058] In order to promote the worm excrement on the screen 22 to fall, for this reason, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the three-dimensional mealworm breeding device further includes a vibration component 3, which is connected to the support component 1 and is used to drive the support component 1 to vibrate.

[0059] By setting the vibration component 3, the vibration component 3 can drive the support component 1 and the breeding component 2 to vibrate. During the vibration of the breeding component 2, the insect feces can be promoted to pass through the screen 22 and promote the falling of the insect feces.

[0060] It should be understood that the vibration component 3 can be a vibration motor, a vibration motor, etc.

[0062] By providing a plurality of vibration components 3, the joint vibration of the plurality of vibration components 3 can prompt all parts of the support component 1 to vibrate effectively, which is beneficial to uniform vibration of all parts.

[0063] If the vibration assembly 3 is placed on the ground, when the vibration assembly 3 is started, the support assembly 1 vibrates and moves relative to the ground, causing the position of the support assembly 1 to shift. If the vibration assembly 3 is rigidly fixed to the ground, when the vibration assembly 3 is started, the ground will limit the vibration of the support assembly 1 relative to the ground. For this reason, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the three-dimensional mealworm breeding device further includes an elastic structure 4 , and a plurality of columns 11 are fixed to the ground via the elastic structure 4 .

[0064] By setting up the elastic structure 4, when the vibration component 3 drives the support component 1 to vibrate, the elastic structure 4 will provide elastic force for the support component 1 to vibrate back and forth, and the two can play a synergistic role. Moreover, the elastic structure 4 can limit the position of the support component 1 and reduce the vibration transmitted to the ground by the support component 1.

[0065] It should be understood that the elastic structure 4 can be a compression spring, a spring, etc.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support assembly 1 further includes a material guide plate 13, which is connected to the column 11 and / or the support member 12. The material guide plate 13 is arranged below the bottom screen 22 and is tilted downward along the material discharge direction.

[0067] By providing the guide plate 13 , the guide plate 13 can cause the insect excrement falling from the bottom screen 22 to slide toward a designated position, so that the fallen insect excrement is concentrated in a certain area, making it easier to clean and sweep the insect excrement.

[0068] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the vibration component 3 drives the support component 1 to vibrate, the breeding component 2 tends to slide relative to the support component 1. For this reason, in one embodiment, the breeding component 2 further includes a limiting structure 23, which is connected to the frame 21 and abuts against the support member 12, and is used to limit the frame 21 from falling off from the support member 12.

[0069] By providing the limiting structure 23 , the limiting structure 23 can prevent the breeding component 2 from sliding off the support 12 .

[0070] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it should be understood that the limiting structure 23 can be provided with limiting buckles, and two limiting buckles are provided on both sides of the frame 21, and respectively abut against the side away from the two transverse support rods 121 or the side away from the two longitudinal support rods 122, and the limiting buckles are used to limit the breeding component 2 from falling off from the support member 12.

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model also provides a three-dimensional mealworm breeding system, including the above-mentioned three-dimensional mealworm breeding device.

[0073] By providing the conveying device 5, the excrement formed during the mealworm breeding process slides onto the conveying surface 5a of the conveying device 5 under the guidance of the guide plate 13. By regularly starting the conveying device 5, the excrement formed during the mealworm breeding process can be transported to a set location. At least two three-dimensional mealworm breeding devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying surface 5a, so that the two three-dimensional mealworm breeding devices can share one conveying device 5.

[0074] It should be understood that the conveying device 5 can be various belt conveyors.

[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple three-dimensional mealworm breeding devices, and the multiple three-dimensional mealworm breeding devices are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying surface 5a and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the conveying surface 5a.
