[0002] Black soldier fly larvae are saprophytic insects that can convert beneficial components in kitchen waste into their own nutrients, thereby reducing environmental pollution caused by kitchen waste. Black soldier fly larvae are generally raised in containers.

[0003] After a period of time, the humidity in insect farming will decrease, and it is not easy to regulate the humidity inside a typical insect farming container, which can easily lead to a poor farming environment when the container is in use. Insects are usually raised in farming trays, and multiple farming trays are placed inside the insect farming container. When fixing the farming trays to the container, each tray is usually fixed individually, which is slow and reduces the efficiency of taking the farming trays out of the container.

[0022] The present invention provides a structure for an insect breeding container capable of regulating humidity, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the container includes a container body 1, with a base 11 fixed to the bottom of the container body 1. A control panel 12 is mounted on the surface of the base 11. The control panel 12 is internally equipped with a lithium battery and a processor. The processor includes an amplifier tube, a protection resistor Rm, a filter, an A / D converter, and a microcontroller. The sensor and the protection resistor Rm are connected in parallel with the amplifier tube and then in series with the filter. The signal is converted by the A / D converter and sent to the microcontroller. The display screen receives the processing signal sent by the microcontroller. The container body 1 is equipped with a breeding tray 13.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, a humidity regulating mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the base 11. The humidity regulating mechanism 2 consists of a humidity sensor 21 and a humidity regulating component 22. Humidity sensors 21 are installed on the inner walls of the container body 1. The humidity sensor 21 can be of the DHT series. The input end of the humidity sensor 21 is electrically connected to the output end of the control panel 12. The humidity regulating component 22 is provided on the surface of the base 11. The humidity regulating component 22 contains a water tank 221, a spray frame 222, a water pump 223, a solenoid valve 224, and a guide pipe 225. The water tank 221 is fixed on the surface of the base 11, and the water pump 223 is installed on the surface of the water tank 221. Pump 223 can be an SLG series model. The input end of pump 223 is electrically connected to the output end of control panel 12. A guide pipe 225 is fixed on one side of container body 1 by a support frame. One end of guide pipe 225 is connected to one end of pump 223. Spray rack 222 is fixed inside container body 1. Spray rack 222 is located above breeding tray 13. One end of spray rack 222 penetrates container body 1 and is connected to the surface of guide pipe 225. Solenoid valve 224 is installed on the surface of spray rack 222. Solenoid valve 224 can be a TM series model. The input end of solenoid valve 224 is electrically connected to the output end of control panel 12.

[0024] In use, feed and insect eggs are placed inside the breeding tray 13 to allow the eggs to hatch. The humidity inside the breeding tray 13 is monitored by the humidity sensor 21, and the monitoring results are transmitted to the control panel 12. If the humidity is low, the control panel 12 can be used to open the solenoid valve 224 and simultaneously control the water pump 223 to work. The water pump 223 draws water from the water tank 221 into the guide pipe 225 and sprays it out through the sprayer 222 to humidify the inside of the breeding tray 13. When the humidity reaches the required level, the control panel 12 controls the water pump 223 and the solenoid valve 224 to close and stop the spraying, thus realizing the humidity regulation function of the insect breeding container.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the container body 1 and the breeding tray 13 are detached and connected by the pick-and-place mechanism 3. The pick-and-place mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31, a groove 32, an adjusting screw 33, a pin hole 34, and a pin bracket 35. A pin hole 34 is provided on one side of the breeding tray 13, and a pin bracket 35 is provided on one side of the container body 1. One end of the pin bracket 35 passes through the container body 1 and is pinned to the pin hole 34. An adjusting screw 33 is threaded onto the surface of the pin bracket 35. One end of the adjusting screw 33 passes through the pin bracket 35 and is rotatably connected to the surface of the container body 1. Slide rails 31 are fixed on both sides inside the container body 1, and grooves 32 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the breeding tray 13. The grooves 32 and the slide rails 31 slide together.

[0026] In use, the breeding tray 13 is placed inside the container body 1, so that the sliding groove 32 fits onto the surface of the sliding track 31. Then, the breeding tray 13 is pushed, and with the sliding cooperation of the sliding groove 32 and the sliding track 31, the breeding tray 13 is pushed into the container body 1, so that the breeding tray 13 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the container body 1. Then, the adjusting screw 33 is rotated, so that the adjusting screw 33 drives the pin frame 35 to slide along the container body 1, so that one end of the pin frame 35 is inserted into the pin hole 34, thereby simultaneously locking the breeding tray 13, so as to realize the function of quickly taking out and putting in the breeding tray 13 in the insect breeding container.

[0027] Working principle: In use, first place the breeding tray 13 inside the container body 1, so that the sliding groove 32 fits onto the surface of the sliding track 31. Then push the breeding tray 13, and with the sliding cooperation of the sliding groove 32 and the sliding track 31, push the breeding tray 13 into the container body 1, so that the breeding tray 13 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the container body 1. Then rotate the adjusting screw 33, so that the adjusting screw 33 drives the pin frame 35 to slide along the container body 1, so that one end of the pin frame 35 is inserted into the pin hole 34, thereby simultaneously locking the breeding tray 13, so as to realize the function of quickly picking up and putting down the breeding tray 13 in the insect breeding container, thereby improving the working efficiency of picking up and putting down the breeding tray 13 in the insect breeding container.

[0028] The feed and insect eggs are then placed inside the breeding tray 13 to allow the eggs to hatch. The humidity inside the breeding tray 13 is monitored by the humidity sensor 21, and the monitoring results are transmitted to the control panel 12. If the humidity is low, the control panel 12 can be used to open the solenoid valve 224 and simultaneously control the water pump 223 to operate. The water pump 223 draws water from the water tank 221 into the guide pipe 225 and sprays it out through the sprayer 222 to humidify the inside of the breeding tray 13. When the humidity reaches the required level, the control panel 12 controls the water pump 223 and the solenoid valve 224 to close, stopping the spraying. This achieves the humidity regulation function of the insect breeding container, thereby improving the breeding environment when using the insect breeding container and finally completing the use of the insect breeding container.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
