Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding equipment for broad-bodied golden leeches, specifically a small and simple hatching box for broad-bodied golden leeches. Background Technology

[0002] *Hirudo medicinalis*, a type of leech belonging to the phylum Annelida and class Hirudinea, has high medicinal value and is clinically used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it an important traditional Chinese medicine. During the incubation process, the incubation period for *Hirudo medicinalis* is as long as 2-3 weeks, and the hatching times are not synchronized; some leeches are able to enter the water while others have just hatched. The inconsistent hatching times mean that some leeches will hatch prematurely after reaching maturity. After hatching, leeches need to enter the water as soon as possible, otherwise they are prone to dehydration and death. However, because the egg cocoons are buried in the soil, observation is inconvenient, and leeches often fail to enter the water in time after hatching, leading to significant losses of seedlings and a low survival rate.

[0003] Existing equipment adds a water-filled space at the bottom of the incubator to address this issue. However, because the water layer is located below the hatching soil, it's difficult to observe. Furthermore, the water-filled space at the bottom of the incubator makes water changes inconvenient. Given the long hatching period of *Hirudo medicinalis*, water quality may deteriorate, and newly hatched leeches have low resistance, potentially leading to mass mortality. Additionally, the enclosed space makes it difficult to remove newly hatched leeches easily. Moreover, due to the long hatching period, leeches don't hatch in large numbers simultaneously, resulting in a relatively large water-filled space and wasted space. Therefore, a small, simplified *Hirudo medicinalis* incubator is proposed. Utility Model Content
