[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a circulating breeding equipment, including a frame 1, a transmission wheel 2, a circulating conveyor chain 3, a breeding plate 4, a downward pressure positioning component 5 and a receiving hopper 6.

[0032] There are multiple transmission wheels 2 , which are arranged on the frame 1 .

[0033] The endless conveyor chain 3 is looped around and encircled between the plurality of transmission wheels 2 .

[0034] There are multiple breeding trays 4 , and a hinged plate 41 is provided on the top of the breeding tray 4 , and the hinged plate 41 is rotatably connected to the circulating conveying chain 3 .

[0035] The downward-pressing positioning assembly 5 is provided at the head end of the frame 1 and is used to position and fix the breeding tray 4 moved to the head end.

[0036] The receiving hopper 6 is arranged below the circulating conveyor chain 3.

[0037] Among them, the circulating conveyor chain 3 can drive multiple breeding trays 4 to move along the trajectory of the circulating conveyor chain 3. The circulating conveyor chain 3 on the frame 1 can be serpentine, and the circulating conveyor chain 3 at the head end part can be vertical, so as to facilitate the staff to add culture medium and insect eggs to the breeding tray 4, and observe the growth status of insects in the breeding tray 4. Of course, the step of adding culture medium and insect eggs to the breeding tray 4 can also be operated by a machine. When the circulating conveyor chain 3 drives the breeding tray 4 to move to the head end position, the downward pressure positioning component 5 can press and fix the breeding tray 4 to prevent the breeding tray 4 from shaking, so as to facilitate the addition of culture medium to the breeding tray 4. When the insects in the breeding tray 4 grow to the desired state, the breeding tray 4 can be turned over manually or mechanically to pour the insects and culture medium in the breeding tray 4 into the receiving hopper 6.

[0038] The circulating breeding equipment provided in this embodiment is configured by arranging a circulating conveyor chain 3 on a frame 1 and rotating the breeding tray 4 to connect the circulating conveyor chain 3, so that the circulating conveyor chain 3 can drive multiple breeding trays 4 to move, and the breeding trays 4 can be fixed by a downward-pressing positioning assembly 5 when they move to the head end of the frame 1, so as to facilitate the addition of culture medium and insect eggs into the breeding trays 4 and the observation of the growth status of insects in the breeding trays 4. After the insects grow up, the breeding trays 4 can be turned over to pour the insects and culture medium into the receiving hopper 6.

[0039] Furthermore, in the examples provided in this embodiment:

[0040] There are two circulating conveyor chains 3 , which are arranged on opposite sides of the frame 1 .

[0041] There are two hinged plates 41 , which are respectively arranged at two ends of the culture tray 4 , and the two hinged plates 41 are rotatably connected to the two circulating conveyor chains 3 .

[0042] Advantageously, the number of the circulating conveyor chain 3 and the number of the hinged plates 41 are both two, so as to avoid the hinge point of the culture tray 4 affecting the addition of materials and observation.

[0043] Further, see Figure 2The downward pressure positioning assembly 5 includes a first telescopic rod 51. The fixed end of the first telescopic rod 51 is connected to the frame 1. The movable end of the first telescopic rod 51 is provided with a lower pressure plate 52. The lower pressure plate 52 is used to abut the upper side surface of the breeding tray 4. When the breeding tray 4 moves to the head end, the circulating conveyor chain 3 can stop running, and the first telescopic rod 51 is extended to make the lower pressure plate 52 abut the upper side surface of the breeding tray 4, so as to facilitate feeding and observation. When the feeding is completed, the first telescopic rod 51 can be controlled to shorten, so that the lower pressure plate 52 is away from the breeding tray 4, and the circulating conveyor chain 3 continues to run, thereby repeating the operation for the next breeding tray 4.

[0044] Furthermore, a pneumatic conveying pipe is connected to the bottom of the receiving hopper 6, and the insects and the culture matrix in the receiving hopper 6 can be transported to an external separation bin through the pneumatic conveying pipe to separate the insects and the culture matrix. The pneumatic conveying pipe is a pneumatic conveying system, and the pneumatic conveying system is a conventional technical means, so it will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes an automatic flipping mechanism 7 arranged at the receiving hopper 6, which is used to flip the breeding tray 4 moved above the receiving hopper 6. When the insects in the breeding tray 4 grow up, the automatic flipping mechanism 7 can be controlled to flip the breeding tray, so that the insects and culture medium fall into the receiving hopper 6.

[0046] Further, see Figure 2 The automatic flipping mechanism 7 includes a second telescopic rod 71, the fixed end of the second telescopic rod 71 is connected to the ground or the frame 1, and the movable end of the second telescopic rod 71 is rotatably provided with a roller 72. The second telescopic rod 71 can force the roller 72 to abut against or away from the breeding tray 4 by telescoping.

[0047] Among them, the second telescopic rod 71 is shortened to allow the roller 72 to be located below the breeding tray 4, and the second telescopic rod 71 is extended to allow the roller 72 to abut the breeding tray 4 and push it to swing, and after the breeding tray 4 swings, it abuts the top of the breeding tray 4 and continues to push, thereby lifting the breeding tray 4 and turning it over. The turning angle can be less than 180°. After turning over, the second telescopic rod 71 can be repeatedly extended and retracted at a micro-distance to force the breeding tray 4 to vibrate, thereby facilitating the pouring out of the culture matrix and insects in the breeding tray 4. During the process of the second telescopic rod 71 lifting the breeding tray 4, the circulating conveyor chain 3 stops running; after the insects and culture matrix in the breeding tray 4 are poured out, the second telescopic rod 71 is shortened, thereby causing the roller 72 to leave the breeding tray 4, the breeding tray 4 is flipped and reset, and the circulating conveyor chain 3 resumes operation.

[0048] Furthermore, a transparent cover is rotatably hinged on the top of the culture tray 4, so that the growth of insects in the culture tray 4 can be easily observed. The transparent cover can be opened when the culture tray 4 is turned over to pour out the insects and culture matrix in the culture tray 4.

[0049] Furthermore, the height of the breeding tray 4 is 80 mm to prevent insects in the breeding tray 4 from crawling out.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] The circulating conveyor chain 3 can drive multiple breeding trays 4 to move along the trajectory of the circulating conveyor chain 3. The circulating conveyor chain 3 on the frame 1 can be serpentine, and the circulating conveyor chain 3 at the head end can be vertical, so that it is convenient for the staff to add culture medium and insect eggs to the breeding tray 4, and observe the growth status of the insects in the breeding tray 4. Of course, the step of adding culture medium and insect eggs to the breeding tray 4 can also be operated by a machine. When the circulating conveyor chain 3 drives the breeding tray 4 to move to the head end position, the downward pressure positioning component 5 can press and fix the breeding tray 4 to prevent the breeding tray 4 from shaking, so as to facilitate the addition of culture medium to the breeding tray 4. When the insects in the breeding tray 4 grow to the desired state, the breeding tray 4 can be turned over manually or mechanically to pour the insects and culture medium in the breeding tray 4 into the receiving hopper 6.

[0053] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. The above is only a preferred implementation method of the present invention. It should be pointed out that due to the limitations of textual expression, there are objectively infinite specific structures.
