[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1: Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a black soldier fly egg incubator, including an incubator 1, on which a plurality of incubation components 2 are plugged, a hatching box 201 is provided on the hatching component 2, a handle 202 is fixed to the front wall of the hatching box 201, both ends of the hatching box 201 are respectively connected and fixed to the incubator 1 by buckles 203, a temperature and humidity sensor body 204 is installed on the front wall of the hatching box 201, two anti-climbing nets 205 are rotatably connected to the upper end of the hatching box 201, the hatching box 201 and the anti-climbing net 205 are respectively hollowed out, a locking component 3 is installed on the hatching box 201, a plurality of horsefly fill lights 4 are installed in a uniformly arranged structure inside the incubator 1, and a humidity adjustment component 5 is installed on the incubator 1.
[0035] A ventilation block 6 is installed on the top surface of the insulated box 1, and a drain pipe 7 with a valve is connected to the lower end of the insulated box 1; the drain pipe 7 is used to discharge excess water generated during the incubation process.
[0036] The humidity adjustment component 5 includes a water pump 501, which is installed on the rear wall of the insulation box 1 through a mounting base. The water outlet end of the water pump 501 is connected to a delivery pipe 502, and a plurality of diversion pipes 503 are connected to the delivery pipe 502. A diversion valve 504 is installed on the diversion pipe 503. The water source is transported to the delivery pipe 502 and then to the inside of the diversion pipe 503 by the water pump 501. After being controlled by the diversion valve 504, the water source is transported to the inside of the appropriate diversion pipe 503 and then enters the inside of the spraying pipe 505.
[0037] The diversion pipe 503 extends through the outer wall of the insulated box 1 to the interior. The diversion pipe 503 is located at the upper end of the incubator 201. The diversion pipe 503 is connected to multiple spray pipes 505, and the bottom of the spray pipe 505 is connected to multiple atomizing nozzles 506. After the water source is transported to the inside of the appropriate diversion pipe 503 and enters the inside of the spray pipe 505, it is sprayed downward from the atomizing nozzle 506 to evenly increase the humidity of the incubation environment for the incubation medium and eggs inside the incubator 201.
[0038] Working Principle: The incubation assembly 2 is connected to the incubator 1 by plugging. The incubator 201 serves as the main space for incubating eggs. Its two ends are fixed to the incubator 1 by buckles 203 to ensure stability during the incubation process. The handle 202 is designed to facilitate users to take out or put in the incubator 201. The temperature and humidity sensor body 204 is installed on the front wall of the incubator 201 to monitor the temperature and humidity changes in the incubator 201 in real time.
[0039] Two anti-climbing nets 205 are rotatably connected to the upper end of the hatching box 201. Both the hatching box 201 and the anti-climbing nets 205 are hollowed out, which not only ensures air circulation and oxygen supply, but also prevents the hatched larvae from escaping through tiny gaps. The anti-climbing nets 205 further increase the difficulty of larvae escaping, thereby improving the survival rate and recovery efficiency of the larvae.
[0040] The fly insect fill light 4 provides the necessary lighting conditions for the black soldier fly eggs during the hatching process. At the same time, it generates heat through its light source to heat the hatching environment. In conjunction with the use of the temperature and humidity sensor body 204, it provides suitable temperature conditions for the hatching of black soldier fly eggs.
[0041] When placing or taking out the eggs or larvae in the incubator 201, the buckle 203 is opened and the handle 202 is pulled to drive the incubator 201 to slide along the incubator 1, which facilitates the taking out or putting in of the incubator 201, simplifies the operation process, and improves the work efficiency;
[0042] The temperature and humidity inside the incubation box 201 are detected by the temperature and humidity sensor body 204. When the humidity needs to be supplemented, the external water pipe is connected to the water inlet end of the water pump 501, and the water source is transported to the delivery pipe 502 and then to the inside of the diversion pipe 503 through the water pump 501. Under the control of the diversion valve 504, the water source is transported to the inside of the appropriate diversion pipe 503 and then enters the inside of the spray pipe 505. Then, the water is sprayed downward from the atomizing nozzle 506 in the form of atomizers, thereby uniformly increasing the humidity of the incubation environment for the incubation medium and eggs inside the incubation box 201. This realizes real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of the temperature and humidity of the incubation environment, ensures that the humidity of the incubation environment is in an optimal state, and helps to improve the hatching rate and larval quality.
[0043] The air permeable block 6 installed on the top surface of the insulated box 1 helps to maintain air circulation in the incubation environment and prevents the entry of external insects, etc. The drain pipe 7 is used to discharge excess water generated during the incubation process, making it more convenient to use.
[0044] Example 2: Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the keeper 301 is unlocked, the latch 302 is unlocked and the latch 303 is in place, so the keeper 301 can be unlocked after the keeper 301 is unlocked.
[0045] Two tension springs 306 are fixed on the shift block 304. The side of the tension spring 306 away from the shift block 304 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the incubation box 201. The restoring force of the tension spring 306 pushes the push block 303 and the positioning block 301 to return to their initial positions.
[0046] When in use, after removing and unlocking the incubation box 201, the dial block 304 is pulled outward to stretch the tension spring 306, and the dial block 304 drives the push block 303 and the positioning block 301 to move outward along the incubation box 201. At this time, the positioning block 301 enters the positioning groove 302, and the bottom surface of the positioning block 301 is separated from the top surfaces of the two anti-climbing nets 205 respectively. At this time, the anti-climbing nets 205 are rotated to open, making it convenient to take out the eggs, hatching medium or larvae inside the incubation box 201;
[0047] At the same time, it is convenient to put new black soldier fly eggs to be hatched and incubation medium back into the incubation box 201. After the anti-climbing net 205 is rotated in the opposite direction to return to the initial position, the dial block 304 is released and the restoring force of the tension spring 306 pushes the push block 303 and the positioning block 301 to return to the initial position. At this time, the ear 305 abuts against the outer wall of the incubation box 201, and the positioning block 301 abuts and limits the anti-climbing net 205, which makes it convenient for the incubation box 201 to be put into the incubator 1 for incubation again, reduces the escape of black soldier fly larvae during the incubation process, and ensures the safety of the incubation environment.
[0048] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
