[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. 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.
[0031] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing transport device cannot transport yellow mealworms under high temperature conditions, the utility model provides a live yellow mealworm conveying device that can transport live yellow mealworms under high temperature conditions.
[0032] It should be noted that the live mealworm conveying device described in the present invention is used for but not limited to the conveying of mealworms. For the convenience of explanation, in the present invention, only the live mealworm conveying device applied to the conveying of mealworms is used as an example for explanation. The principle of applying the live mealworm conveying device to the conveying of other objects is essentially the same as the principle applied to the conveying of mealworms, and will not be repeated here.
[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a structural schematic diagram of a live mealworm transport device in one embodiment of the present invention. The live mealworm transport device includes a mesh container 1, a cooling component 2 and an isolating component 3. The mesh container 1 has a accommodating cavity formed inside and a mesh hole connected to the inside opened on the outside; the cooling component 2 is built into the mesh container 1 and is used to cool the object to be transported in the mesh container 1; the isolating component 3 at least partially wraps the cooling component 2 and is used to isolate the cooling component 2 and the object to be transported.
[0034] The accommodating cavity formed inside the mesh container 1 is used to load mealworms, and the mesh design on the outside allows air circulation, which helps to maintain good ventilation conditions; the cooling component 2 is built into the mesh container 1, and its main purpose is to reduce the temperature inside the accommodating cavity, which can reduce the temperature of the environment in which the mealworms are located during transportation, and increase the survival rate of the mealworms during live transportation. By setting the isolation component 3, the isolation component 3 can isolate the mealworms and the cooling component 2, avoiding direct contact between the cooling component 2 and the mealworms, thereby avoiding frostbite of the mealworms. At the same time, the isolation component 3 can also play a certain buffering and protective role, reducing the impact of vibration during transportation on the mealworms.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh container 1 is any one of a mesh bag and a mesh box.
[0036] Mealworms can be packed in mesh bags and mesh boxes to prevent them from crawling out; they can also keep the worms in a well-ventilated state during transportation to avoid heat caused by stacking.
[0037] In one embodiment, there are multiple mesh containing members 1 , and at least some of the meshes of the multiple mesh containing members 1 are different.
[0038] By providing mesh containers 1 with different mesh sizes, mealworms of different sizes can be packaged and transported.
[0039] In one embodiment, the cooling component 2 is any one or more combinations of ice cubes, ice bags, refrigerant blocks, chemical refrigeration bags, and ice wet cloths.
[0040] It should be understood that the cooling component 2 may also be a structure capable of performing real-time cooling.
[0041] By providing the temperature-lowering component 2 , the temperature in the accommodation chamber can be lowered.
[0042] In one embodiment, the cooling component 2 is an ice cube, and the shape of the ice cube is any one of plate, sphere, prism, and tile.
[0043] By arranging ice cubes, the ice cubes absorb heat and cool down when they melt, which can reduce the temperature in the accommodation cavity. At the same time, by setting the shape of the ice cubes, the ice cubes can adapt to different packaging spaces and are easy to transport.
[0044] In one embodiment, the separator 3 is any one or more of paper, egg tray, moisture-absorbing cloth, and activated carbon.
[0045] By setting the isolation member 3 to the above-mentioned material, the above-mentioned material can not only isolate the mealworms from the cooling component 2, but also absorb water droplets formed by the melting of the cooling component 2 or the liquefaction of the cooling component 2 when air contacts the cooling component 2, so that the mealworms are under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, thereby improving the survival rate of the living mealworms during transportation.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, when transporting mealworms in large quantities, if the mealworms are packaged in mesh bags, the accumulated mesh bags will cause the mealworms to accumulate, resulting in the mealworms being squeezed to death or dying from heat aggregation. For this reason, in one embodiment, the live mealworm transport device also includes a packaging box 4, a fixed cavity is formed in the packaging box 4, and the mesh container 1 is built into the fixed cavity.
[0047] By setting up the packaging box 4, when a large number of live mealworms need to be transported, the net bags packed with mealworms are placed inside the packaging box 4. The adjacent net bags are spaced apart by the packaging box 4 to avoid the mealworms in different net bags from squeezing each other. Moreover, the packaging box 4 can be stacked, which is convenient for transporting large quantities of mealworms.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the packaging box 4 includes a box body 41, two first cover plates 42 and two second cover plates 43. The interior of the box body 41 is hollow and one end is open. The two first cover plates 42 are arranged on both sides of the open end of the box body 41, and the first cover plates 42 and the box body 41 can be bent and connected. The two second cover plates 43 are arranged on the other two sides of the open end of the box body 41, and the second cover plates 43 and the box body 41 can be bent and connected, and the second cover plates 43 can be rotated to abut the side of the first cover plate 42 away from the box body 41.
[0049] Through the above-mentioned setting, after the mesh container 1 wraps the mealworms, it is placed in the box body 41, and the open end of the box body 41 is closed by rotating the first cover plate 42 and the second cover plate 43, and the second cover plate 43 is fixed by tape or other means to achieve the closure of the open end of the box body 41.
[0050] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the material of the packaging box 4, the first cover plate 42 and the second cover plate 43 is paper, and notches are provided between the first cover plate 42 and the second cover plate 43 and the packaging box 4 to enable the first cover plate 42 and the second cover plate 43 to bend relative to the packaging box 4.
[0051] It should be understood that the packaging box 4 can also be a mesh box, a plastic mesh box, etc.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the box body 41, the first cover plate 42 and the second cover plate 43 are at least partially provided with ventilation holes.
[0053] By providing the air holes 4 a , air can enter the packaging box 4 through the air holes 4 a , thereby facilitating cooling and heat dissipation of the mealworms in the packaging box 4 .
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, at least part of the air holes 4a are distributed on two opposite sides of the box body 41.
[0055] By providing air holes 4a on opposite sides of the box body 41, convection flow channels can be formed on both sides of the box body 41, so that air can pass through the box body 41 in a convection manner, thereby increasing the gas flow rate.
[0056] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
