[0002] Insects are diverse in species and form. In scientific classification, insects are classified into the phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Hexapoda. They share the common characteristics of arthropods. The class Insecta is not only the largest class in the phylum Arthropoda, but also the largest class in the animal kingdom. Insects can be found almost all over the earth. Therefore, people have never stopped studying insects. Many people keep insects as pets and observe their living habits.
[0003] Currently, insect rearing boxes have a relatively simple structure, usually using a simple cardboard box. Cleaning insect droppings in such boxes is troublesome, requiring the insects to be removed to clean them properly, which makes it easy for the insects to escape. Furthermore, it is difficult to create a suitable temperature and humidity environment for insects to live in such boxes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a novel insect rearing box that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a novel insect breeding box, comprising a transparent box, a humidification mechanism provided on the upper left side of the transparent box, mesh provided on the left and right sides of the transparent box, a base mechanism provided at the lower part of the transparent box, a ventilation mechanism provided in the middle of the rear side of the transparent box, and a feed inlet provided on the upper right side of the transparent box, with a sealing plug provided inside the feed inlet;
[0006] The ventilation mechanism includes a housing, a controller, an air inlet slot, a filter, a fan, a heating wire, a ventilation grille, and a power supply. The power supply is installed inside the lower side of the housing. The ventilation grille is located in the middle of the rear side of the transparent box. The housing is located in the middle of the rear side of the transparent box. The controller is installed in the middle of the housing. The air inlet slot is located on the rear side of the housing and is located around the outer periphery of the controller. The filter, fan, and heating wire are located inside the housing. The fan is located between the filter and the heating wire. The filter is located on the inner wall of the rear side of the housing. The controller is electrically connected to the fan, the heating wire, and the power supply.
[0007] Preferably, a handle is provided in the middle of the upper side of the transparent box.
[0008] Preferably, a temperature and humidity sensor is installed on the inner side wall of the transparent box, and the temperature and humidity sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0009] Preferably, a lighting lamp is provided on the top wall inside the transparent box, and the lighting lamp is electrically connected to a controller.
[0010] Preferably, the humidification mechanism includes a humidification tube, multiple air holes, a sealing gasket, a connecting rod, a piston, and a handle. The upper part of the humidification tube is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the transparent box. The outer periphery of the sealing gasket is disposed on the upper part of the humidification tube. The multiple air holes are opened in the upper middle part of the humidification tube. The outer periphery of the piston is slidably connected to the inside of the humidification tube. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the piston, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through and is slidably connected to the middle of the sealing gasket. The handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod.
[0011] Preferably, the base mechanism includes a base box, a magnetic strip, four wear-resistant feet, and a base plate grid. The base plate grid is located at the bottom of the transparent box. The outer periphery of the magnetic strip is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base box. The magnetic strip is magnetically attached to the bottom of the transparent box. The upper part of the base box is fitted over the lower part of the transparent box. The wear-resistant feet are located at the four corners of the lower part of the base box.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] Remove the sealing gasket, then inject purified water into the humidifying tube until the water level is below the air hole to prevent it from overflowing. Then, insert the sealing gasket back into the humidifying tube, allowing the purified water evaporating inside the humidifying tube to enter the transparent box through the air hole, thereby humidifying the environment inside the transparent box. When you need to take the insect out, press down on handle one. This will move the piston down via the connecting rod, causing the piston to block the air hole and prevent the purified water inside the humidifying tube from flowing out of the air hole during movement.
[0014] When the inside of the transparent box is relatively damp and cold, the controller connects the heating wire to the power supply, causing the heating wire to heat up. This heats the air near the heating wire, and a fan blows the heated air into the transparent box. When the inside of the transparent box is hot, the fan speeds up the airflow inside the transparent box, thereby lowering the temperature inside the transparent box. This controls the temperature and humidity inside the transparent box, making the insects' lives more comfortable. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a novel insect breeding box includes a transparent box 1, a humidification mechanism 4 is provided on the upper left side of the transparent box 1, a wire mesh 3 is provided on the left and right sides of the transparent box 1, a base mechanism 2 is provided at the lower part of the transparent box 1, a ventilation mechanism 8 is provided in the middle of the rear side of the transparent box 1, and a feed inlet 9 is provided on the upper right side of the transparent box 1, with a sealing plug 5 inside the feed inlet 9.
[0023] The ventilation mechanism 8 includes a housing 801, a controller 802, an air inlet slot 803, a filter 804, a fan 805, a heating wire 806, a ventilation grille 807, and a power supply. The power supply is installed inside the lower side of the housing 801. The ventilation grille 807 is located in the middle of the rear side of the transparent box 1. The housing 801 is located in the middle of the rear side of the transparent box 1. The controller 802 is installed in the middle of the housing 801. The air inlet slot 803 is located on the rear side of the housing 801 and is located around the outer periphery of the controller 802. The filter 804, fan 805, and heating wire 806 are located inside the housing 801. The fan 805 is located between the filter 804 and the heating wire 806. The heating wire 806 is located in the middle, and the filter screen 804 is set on the inner wall of the rear side of the housing 801. The controller 802 is electrically connected to the fan 805, the heating wire 806 and the power supply. When the inside of the transparent box 1 is relatively humid and cold, the controller 802 connects the heating wire 806 to the power supply, thereby causing the heating wire 806 to heat up. This heats the air near the heating wire 806, and the fan 805 blows the heated air into the transparent box 1. When the inside of the transparent box 1 is relatively hot, the fan 805 accelerates the airflow inside the transparent box 1, thereby reducing the temperature inside the transparent box 1 and controlling the temperature and humidity inside the transparent box 1, making the insects live more comfortably.
[0024] A handle 2 6 is provided on the upper middle part of the transparent box 1, making it easy to carry the transparent box 1 and take insects out.
[0025] A temperature and humidity sensor 10 is installed on the inner wall of the transparent box 1. The temperature and humidity sensor 10 is electrically connected to the controller 802. The temperature and humidity sensor 10 detects the temperature and humidity inside the transparent box 1 and then sends the detected data to the controller 802 through an electrical signal. The controller 802 then controls the fan 805 and the heating wire 806 to operate, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity inside the transparent box 1.
[0026] The transparent box 1 has a light 7 installed on the top wall inside. The light 7 is electrically connected to the controller 802. The light 7 can provide illumination in a dim environment, making it easier for players to observe insects.
[0027] The humidifying mechanism 4 includes a humidifying tube 401, multiple air holes 402, a sealing gasket 403, a connecting rod 404, a piston 405, and a handle 406. The upper part of the humidifying tube 401 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the transparent box 1. The outer periphery of the sealing gasket 403 is disposed on the upper part of the humidifying tube 401. Multiple air holes 402 are opened in the upper middle part of the humidifying tube 401. The outer periphery of the piston 405 is slidably connected to the inside of the humidifying tube 401. One end of the connecting rod 404 is fixedly connected to the middle of the piston 405, and the other end of the connecting rod 404 passes through and is slidably connected to the middle of the sealing gasket 403. The handle 406 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 404. The sealing gasket 403 is removed, and then... Then, pure water is injected into the humidifying tube 401, and the water level is lower than that of the air hole 402 to prevent it from overflowing from the air hole 402. Then, the sealing gasket 403 is inserted back into the humidifying tube 401. Finally, the pure water evaporated inside the humidifying tube 401 enters the transparent box 1 through the air hole 402, thereby humidifying the environment inside the transparent box 1. When it is necessary to take the insect out, press down the handle 406. Through the connecting rod 404, the piston 405 moves down, thereby blocking the air hole 402 and preventing the pure water inside the humidifying tube 401 from flowing out of the air hole 402 during the movement.
[0028] The base mechanism 2 includes a base box 201, a magnetic strip 202, four wear-resistant feet 203, and a base plate grid 204. The base plate grid 204 is located at the bottom of the transparent box 1. The magnetic strip 202 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base box 201 on its outer periphery and magnetically attached to the bottom of the transparent box 1. The upper part of the base box 201 is fitted over the lower part of the transparent box 1. The wear-resistant feet 203 are located at the four corners of the lower part of the base box 201. The base plate grid 204 isolates insects and insect excrement. By removing the base box 201, it can be separated from the transparent box 1, allowing for the cleaning of excrement inside the base box 201. The base plate grid 204 also prevents insects from escaping.
[0029] Working principle:
[0030] Remove the sealing gasket 403, then inject purified water into the humidifying tube 401 until the water level is below the vent 402 to prevent overflow. Then, insert the sealing gasket 403 back into the humidifying tube 401, allowing the purified water evaporating inside the humidifying tube 401 to enter the transparent box 1 through the vent 402, thus humidifying the environment inside the transparent box 1. When it is necessary to take the insect out, press down on the handle 406. This, via the connecting rod 404, causes the piston 405 to move downwards, blocking the vent 402 and preventing the purified water inside the humidifying tube 401 from flowing out during movement. The temperature and humidity sensor 10 detects this. The temperature and humidity inside the transparent box 1 are measured, and the measured data is then sent to the controller 802 via an electrical signal. The controller 802 then controls the operation of the fan 805 and the heating wire 806. When the inside of the transparent box 1 is relatively damp and cold, the controller 802 connects the heating wire 806 to the power supply, causing the heating wire 806 to heat up. This heats the air near the heating wire 806, and the fan 805 blows the heated air into the transparent box 1. When the inside of the transparent box 1 is relatively hot, the fan 805 accelerates the airflow inside the transparent box 1, thereby lowering the temperature inside the transparent box 1. This controls the temperature and humidity inside the transparent box 1, making the insects' lives more comfortable.
