Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, and in particular to insect seedling release devices and insect breeding systems. Background Technology

[0002] Black soldier flies are saprophytic insects belonging to the family Markidae. Their larvae feed on organic waste such as livestock and poultry manure and kitchen scraps, converting it into high-value alternative proteins. Due to their rapid reproduction, wide diet, high conversion rate, ease of management, low feeding costs, good palatability to animals, and the high nutritional value of their plump white larvae, they are widely used worldwide.

[0003] When using black soldier fly larvae for the bioconversion of organic waste, it is necessary to count the larvae and add them to the feeding trays in a specific quantity. Currently, this process is mainly done manually. First, the number of larvae to be added is calculated, and then a certain number are added to the feeding trays. However, black soldier fly larvae are small and often overlap, leading to significant errors in manual counting and high labor costs, thus affecting the effectiveness of the addition process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an insect seedling release device and insect breeding system that can improve the accuracy of counting and reduce labor costs in order to address the above problems.

[0005] A seedling dispensing device includes a seedling conveying assembly, a feeding control assembly, and a receiving assembly. The seedling conveying assembly includes a vibrating feeder with a feeding end and a dispensing end at its two ends, which vibrate to convey seedlings from the feeding end to the dispensing end. The feeding control assembly is located at the dispensing end of the vibrating feeder and is controllable to block the outlet position of the dispensing end. The receiving assembly includes a receiving hopper and a weighing sensor. The receiving hopper is located below the dispensing end of the vibrating feeder, and its opening faces the dispensing end. The weighing sensor is located on the receiving hopper and is used to detect the weight of the seedlings in the receiving hopper.

[0006] In one embodiment, the feeding control component includes a feeding baffle and a feeding driver. The feeding baffle is movably disposed at the unloading end of the vibrating feeder. The feeding driver is used to drive the feeding baffle to block the outlet of the unloading end or to open the outlet of the unloading end.

[0007] In one embodiment, the insect seedling dispensing device further includes an insect dispensing controller. The vibrating feeder, the weighing sensor, and the feeding driver are all electrically connected to the insect dispensing controller. The insect dispensing controller is used to control the vibration speed of the vibrating feeder and the operation of the feeding driver based on the weight data collected by the weighing sensor.

[0008] In one embodiment, the receiving assembly further includes a feeding baffle and a feeding driver. The bottom opening of the receiving hopper forms a feeding port. The feeding baffle is closably disposed at the feeding port of the receiving hopper. The feeding driver is used to drive the feeding baffle to move relative to the receiving hopper to open or close the feeding port.

[0009] In one embodiment, one side of the feeding baffle is hinged to one side of the receiving hopper to form a feeding port, and the feeding driver is used to drive the feeding baffle to rotate relative to the receiving hopper. Both the receiving hopper and the feeding driver are mounted on the weighing sensor.

[0010] In one embodiment, the insect seedling dispensing device further includes a feed tray conveying assembly, which includes a conveying positioning component and a feed tray conveying component. The feed tray conveying component is disposed below the receiving hopper and opposite to the feeding port. The conveying positioning component is disposed on the feed tray conveying component and is used to position the breeding feed tray on the feed tray conveying component below the feeding port.

[0011] In one embodiment, the receiving assembly further includes a guide member with a guide channel formed therein. The guide member is disposed below the receiving hopper, and one end of the guide channel is connected to the feeding port, while the other end is connected to the top of the material tray conveyor.

[0012] In one embodiment, the insect seedling conveying assembly further includes an insect seedling storage device located above the feeding end of the vibrating feeder, the insect seedling storage device being used to feed insect seedlings into the vibrating feeder.

[0013] In one embodiment, the insect seedling conveying assembly further includes a discharge adjustment component, which includes an adjustment part and a limiting part connected to the adjustment part. The adjustment part is disposed on the side of the insect seedling storage unit facing the unloading end of the vibrating feeder, so that the limiting part is located above the loading end of the vibrating feeder and spaced apart from the loading end. The adjustment part is movable relative to the insect seedling storage unit to adjust the distance between the limiting part and the loading end of the vibrating feeder.

[0014] An insect breeding system, the insect breeding system including the insect seedling release device as described above.

[0015] In the aforementioned insect seedling release device and insect rearing system, insect seedlings are released into the feeding end of a vibrating feeder. The vibrating feeder then transports the seedlings to the discharging end. A feeding control component opens the outlet at the discharging end, causing the seedlings to vibrate and fall into a receiving hopper located below the discharging end of the vibrating feeder. When the weighing sensor detects that the weight in the receiving hopper has increased to a set weight, the feeding control component can be controlled to block the outlet at the discharging end to prevent further seedling fall. Simultaneously, the vibrating feeder stops supplying seedlings, ensuring that the set weight of seedlings in the receiving hopper reaches the preset quantity. Since the weight of each seedling is essentially the same or similar, the number of seedlings can be controlled by adjusting the weight of the released seedlings. This not only makes the counting method reliable and simplifies the release process, increasing efficiency, but also reduces manual operation and lowers labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The insect seedling dispensing device 10 in one embodiment of this application can at least improve the accuracy of counting and reduce labor costs. Specifically, the insect seedling dispensing device 10 includes an insect seedling conveying component 100, a feeding control component 200, and a receiving component 300. The insect seedling conveying component 100 includes a vibrating feeder 110, with an upper feeding end 112 and an lower feeding end 114 at its two ends. The vibrating feeder 110 is used to vibrate and convey insect seedlings from the upper feeding end 112 to the lower feeding end 114. The feeding control component 200 is disposed at the lower feeding end 114 of the vibrating feeder 110, and the feeding control component 200 can be controlled to block the outlet position of the lower feeding end 114. The receiving component 300 includes a receiving hopper 310 and a weighing sensor 320. The receiving hopper 310 is disposed below the lower feeding end 114 of the vibrating feeder 110, and the opening of the receiving hopper 310 faces the lower feeding end 114. The weighing sensor 320 is installed on the receiving hopper 310 and is used to detect the weight of the insect seedlings in the receiving hopper 310.

[0029] In use, insect larvae are fed into the feeding end 112 of the vibrating feeder 110. The vibrating feeder 110 transports the larvae to the discharging end 114. The feeding control component 200 is controlled to open the outlet of the discharging end 114, allowing the larvae to vibrate and fall into the receiving hopper 310 located below the discharging end 114 of the vibrating feeder 110. When the weighing sensor 320 senses that the weight of the receiving hopper 310 has increased to the set weight, it can control the feeding control component 200 to block the outlet of the discharging end 114 to prevent the larvae from falling further. At the same time, it controls the vibrating feeder 110 to stop conveying larvae, so that the set weight of larvae in the receiving hopper 310 reaches the preset number. Since the weight of each larvae is basically the same or similar, the number of larvae can be controlled by controlling the weight of the larvae fed. This not only makes the counting method reliable but also simplifies the feeding process, increases efficiency, and avoids excessive manual operation, thus reducing labor costs.

[0030] In one embodiment, the insect seedling dispensing device 10 further includes a frame 400, on which the insect seedling conveying component 100, the feeding control component 200, and the receiving component 300 are all mounted. By providing the frame 400, an installation support platform can be provided for the insect seedling conveying component 100, the feeding control component 200, and the receiving component 300.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the insect seedling conveying assembly 100 further includes an insect seedling storage component 120, which is located above the feeding end 112 of the vibrating feeder 110. The insect seedling storage component 120 is used to feed insect seedlings into the vibrating feeder 110. Specifically, the insect seedling storage component 120 is mounted on the frame 400, and a storage cavity 122 is formed inside the insect seedling storage component 120. A discharge port 124 communicating with the storage cavity 122 is opened on the bottom wall of the insect seedling storage component 120, and the discharge port 124 is aligned with the feeding end 112 of the vibrating feeder 110.

[0032] In this embodiment, the vibrating feeder 110 includes a vibrator 116 and a feed hopper 118. A feed channel 119 is formed on the feed hopper 118. One end of the feed channel 119 is the feeding end 112 located below the insect seedling storage device 120, and the other end is the discharging end 114 located above the receiving hopper 310. The vibrator 116 is disposed on the feed hopper 118 and is used to drive the feed hopper 118 to vibrate so as to transport the insect seedlings from the feeding end 112 to the discharging end 114.

[0033] In one embodiment, the insect seedling conveying assembly 100 further includes a discharge adjustment component 130. The discharge adjustment component 130 includes an adjustment part 132 and a limiting part 134 connected to the adjustment part 132. The adjustment part 132 is disposed on the side of the insect seedling storage component 120 facing the discharge end 114 of the vibrating feeder 110, so that the limiting part 134 is located above the loading end 112 of the vibrating feeder 110 and spaced apart from the loading end 112. The adjustment part 132 is movable relative to the insect seedling storage component 120 to adjust the distance between the limiting part 134 and the loading end 112 of the vibrating feeder 110. Since the insect seedlings falling to the loading end 112 need to pass through the gap between the limiting part 134 and the vibrating feeder 110 before they can be vibrated and conveyed to the discharge end 114, by adjusting the distance between the limiting part 134 and the vibrating feeder 110 through the adjustment part 132, the number of insect seedlings conveyed to the discharge end 114 can be adjusted, avoiding too few seedlings affecting efficiency and too many seedlings affecting precise control accuracy.

[0034] Specifically, the adjusting part 132 is fixed to the larvae storage container 120 by adjusting the adjusting screw. By turning the adjusting screw, the position of the adjusting part 132 on the larvae storage container 120 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the limiting part on the vibrating feeder 110, and adjusting the distance between the limiting part 134 and the feeding end 112 of the vibrating feeder 110. This allows control over the thickness of the larvae conveyed to the unfeeding end 114, and thus the rate of larvae conveying. In other embodiments, the positions of the limiting part 134 and the vibrating feeder 110 can also be adjusted by snap-fit ​​or other methods.

[0035] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the feeding control assembly 200 includes a feeding baffle 210 and a feeding driver 220. The feeding baffle 210 is movably disposed at the discharge end 114 of the vibrating feeder 110. The feeding driver 220 is used to drive the feeding baffle 210 to block the outlet of the discharge end 114, or to open the outlet of the discharge end 114. By controlling the feeding driver 220 to control whether the feeding baffle 210 blocks the outlet of the discharge end 114, the phenomenon of insect seedlings surging forward after the vibrating feeder 110 stops is prevented.

[0036] Specifically, one side of the feeding baffle 210 is rotatably mounted on the frame 400. The feeding driver 220 drives the feeding baffle 210 to rotate upwards to open the outlet of the unloading end 114 and to rotate downwards to cover the outlet of the unloading end 114. In another embodiment, the feeding baffle 210 can also move relative to the outlet of the unloading end 114 to move away from or closer to the unloading end 114, thereby blocking or releasing the conveying material of the unloading end 114.

[0037] In this embodiment, the feeding driver 220 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the feeding driver 220 may also be other driving components that drive the feeding baffle 210 to rotate, such as a motor.

[0038] In one embodiment, the insect seedling dispensing device 10 further includes an insect dispensing controller 500. The vibrating feeder 110, the weighing sensor 320, and the feeding driver 220 are all electrically connected to the insect dispensing controller 500. The insect dispensing controller 500 is used to control the vibration speed of the vibrating feeder 110 and the operation of the feeding driver 220 according to the weight data collected by the weighing sensor 320. After the feeding baffle 210 is opened by the feeding driver 220, the vibrating feeder 110 can quickly feed the insects into the receiving hopper 310. When the weighing sensor 320 detects that the weight of the insect seedlings in the receiving hopper 310 reaches more than half of the target weight, or is close to the target weight, the insect feeding controller 500 controls the vibrating feeder 110 to reduce the feeding speed to ensure the final weighing accuracy. When the weight of the insect seedlings in the receiving hopper 310 reaches the target weight, the vibrating feeder 110 is controlled to stop feeding, and at the same time, the feeding driver 220 is controlled to drive the feeding baffle 210 to block the discharge end 114 of the vibrating feeder 110 to prevent the insect seedlings from continuing to flow forward. Through the above control, the weight of the insect seedlings in the receiving hopper 310 can be controlled more accurately, thereby controlling the number of insect seedlings.

[0039] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the receiving assembly 300 further includes a feeding baffle 330 and a feeding driver 340. The bottom opening of the receiving hopper 310 forms a feeding port 312. The feeding baffle 330 is closably disposed at the feeding port 312 of the receiving hopper 310. The feeding driver 340 is used to drive the feeding baffle 330 to move relative to the receiving hopper 310, thereby opening or closing the feeding port 312. By controlling the feeding driver 340 to open the feeding baffle 330, a preset weight of insect seedlings in the receiving hopper 310 is fed into the breeding feed tray 20, thus realizing the feeding of insect seedlings.

[0040] Specifically, one side of the feeding baffle 330 is hinged to the receiving hopper 310 to form one side of the feeding port 312. The feeding driver 340 is used to drive the feeding baffle 330 to rotate relative to the receiving hopper 310. Both the receiving hopper 310 and the feeding driver 340 are mounted on the weighing sensor 320. The weighing sensor 320 can determine the weight of the insect seedlings entering the receiving hopper 310 by detecting the increase in weight inside the receiving hopper 310. The feeding driver 340 drives the feeding baffle 330 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the feeding port 312.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feeding driver 340 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the feeding driver 340 may also be other driving components that drive the feeding baffle 210 to rotate, such as a motor.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the insect seedling dispensing device 10 further includes a feed tray conveying assembly 600. The feed tray conveying assembly 600 includes a conveying positioning component 610 and a feed tray conveying component 620. The feed tray conveying component 620 is disposed below the receiving hopper 310 and opposite to the feeding port 312. The conveying positioning component 610 is disposed on the feed tray conveying component 620 and is used to position the breeding feed tray 20 on the feed tray conveying component 620 below the feeding port 312. The feed tray conveying component 620 facilitates the conveying of the breeding feed tray 20 to below the feeding port 312 of the receiving hopper 310, while the conveying positioning component 610 facilitates the positioning of the breeding feed tray 20 below the feeding port 312, thereby facilitating the direct dispensing of insect seedlings from the receiving hopper 310 into the breeding feed tray 20 and improving the efficiency of insect seedling dispensing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the conveying positioning element 610 is a photoelectric sensor installed on the feed tray conveyor 620. The photoelectric sensor enables the feed tray 20 to be accurately positioned below the feeding port 312 of the receiving hopper 310. In other embodiments, the conveying positioning element 610 may also be other sensors capable of positioning the feed tray 20, or it may be a blocking element that extends in front of the feed tray 20.

[0044] In one embodiment, the receiving assembly 300 further includes a guide member 350, which has a guide channel 352 formed within it. The guide member 350 is positioned below the receiving hopper 310, with one end of the guide channel 352 connected to the feeding port 312 and the other end connected to the top of the feed tray conveyor 620. By setting the guide member 350 to form the guide channel 352, it is easier for the larvae to be more accurately placed into the breeding feed tray 20 along the guide channel 352. In other embodiments, the guide member 350 may be omitted, or the guide member 350 may be directly extended from the receiving hopper 310.

[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 2When the aforementioned insect seedling dispensing device 10 is in use, additional insect seedlings are added to the insect seedling storage container 120. At this time, the feeding baffle 210 and the feeding baffle 330 can be in the closed state. After setting the preset weight of the insect seedlings, the equipment starts working. The feeding driver 220 drives the feeding baffle 210 to open, and the insect seedlings in the storage container 120 fall to the loading end 112 of the vibrating feeding component 110. The vibrating feeding component 110 starts vibrating conveying until the insect seedlings are conveyed to the unloading end 114 and fall into the receiving hopper 310. When the weighing sensor 320 senses that the weight of the receiving hopper 310 has increased to about 90% of the target weight, the vibrating feeding component 110 adjusts to slow feeding to ensure the final weighing accuracy. When the weighing sensor 320 senses that the weight of the receiving hopper 310 has increased to the target weight, the vibrating feeding component 110 stops feeding, and at the same time, the feeding driver 220 drives the feeding baffle 210 to close to prevent the insect seedlings from continuing to surge forward. The feed tray conveyor 620 conveys the breeding feed tray 20. After the conveying positioning component 610 positions the breeding feed tray 20 below the receiving hopper 310, the feed tray conveyor 620 stops moving, and the feeding driver 340 drives the feeding baffle 330 to open, releasing the currently weighed and quantified insect larvae into the breeding feed tray 20. After this insect larvae feeding is completed, the feeding driver 340 drives the feeding baffle 330 to close, and the insect larvae feeding device 10 begins the next cycle of quantitative feeding. The feed tray conveyor 620 restarts operation, delivering the breeding feed tray 20 for this cycle.

[0046] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, this application also discloses an insect breeding system, including the insect seedling delivery device 10 in any of the above embodiments. Specifically, the intelligent insect breeding system also includes an organic waste treatment device, a conveying device, an automatic feeding device, a breeding device, and a screening device. The organic waste treatment device is used to add water and structural auxiliary materials to the breeding raw materials to adjust the moisture content of the breeding raw materials to form breeding feed. The conveying device is used to convey the breeding feed tray 20. The conveying device conveys the breeding feed tray 20 to the automatic feeding device, which adds a preset weight of breeding feed to the breeding feed tray 20. The conveying device continues to convey the breeding feed tray 20 to the insect seedling release device 10, which adds a preset weight of insect seedlings to the breeding feed tray 20. Then, the conveying device sends the breeding feed tray 20 into the breeding space of the breeding device for breeding. The breeding device is used to adjust the temperature, relative humidity, and ventilation frequency of the breeding space according to the age of the insect seedlings in the breeding feed tray 20. Finally, when the insects in the breeding feed tray 20 reach the preset age, the conveying device introduces the mixture of insects and breeding residue in the breeding feed tray 20 into the screening device, which separates the insects from the breeding residue.
