Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a black soldier fly larvae farming device, specifically a black soldier fly larvae farming integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens The black soldier fly (S. blazei) belongs to the family Bandidae in the order Diptera. Also known as the bright-spotted flat-horned soldier fly, it has a wide distribution, mainly covering tropical, temperate, and mid-latitude regions of the Americas. Black soldier fly larvae have a broad diet, primarily feeding on decaying organic matter, livestock excrement, and kitchen waste. They efficiently decompose and transform these organic substances, converting them into the protein they need, thus achieving effective resource utilization. Notably, the excrement (sand) processed by black soldier fly larvae is rich in nutrients and can serve as a high-quality organic fertilizer with broad application prospects in agriculture and other fields.

[0003] The growth of black soldier flies involves four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Each stage has a different living environment, so different spaces are needed to meet their growth requirements. In particular, the larval stage usually requires multiple breeding units, which not only takes up a lot of space but also requires feeding and waste cleaning, thus the breeding efficiency needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide an integrated black soldier fly farming machine. This integrated farming machine combines all the growth stages of black soldier flies together, which not only reduces the space occupied by the device, but also eliminates the need for intermediate transportation, thereby improving farming efficiency and enabling large-scale farming.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A black soldier fly larvae breeding integrated machine includes a larval chamber, a pupal chamber, and an adult chamber. The larval chamber, pupal chamber, and adult chamber are connected by transfer channels in pairs, and the transfer channels are equipped with switch structures. The larval chamber is equipped with a cyclic breeding mechanism for cyclic breeding of larvae.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adult insect chamber is located above and on both sides of the top of the larval chamber. The adult insect chamber is provided with an egg collection mechanism for adults to lay eggs and an egg-laying mechanism for transferring the eggs on the egg collection mechanism to a rearing box in the larval chamber below.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the pupa chamber is located on both sides of the larval chamber.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the recirculating aquaculture mechanism includes multiple recirculating aquaculture boxes and a recirculating drive mechanism for driving the recirculating aquaculture boxes to move cyclically in a vertical plane.

[0010] Furthermore, the recirculating breeding box is equipped with a cover plate on top for covering the material in the recirculating breeding box during transfer. This cover plate is operated automatically by a drive mechanism. With the above structure, when it is necessary to separate young black soldier fly larvae for commercial use, the drive mechanism drives the cover plate to move down and cover the material in the recirculating breeding box. At the same time, the larval outlet of the recirculating breeding box aligned with the transfer channel is opened, causing the black soldier fly larvae to automatically crawl to one side of the transfer channel due to lack of oxygen and fall into the pupal chamber below the transfer channel.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the circulating breeding box is provided with a larvae outlet and an outlet switch mechanism. The outlet switch mechanism includes an outlet switch plate and an outlet switch drive mechanism, and the outlet switch drive mechanism includes an outlet switch drive motor and an outlet switch transmission assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the outlet switch drive assembly includes an outlet switch drive gear set, which includes a driving gear and a driven gear. The driving gear is mounted on the output shaft of the outlet switch drive motor, and the driven gear is fixedly connected to the outlet switch plate via a rotating shaft.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the circulating breeding box is provided with an insect-repelling mechanism to encourage larvae to automatically transfer out of the circulating breeding box.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the circulating breeding box is provided with a window and a window switch mechanism. This window switch mechanism constitutes the insect-repelling mechanism. The window switch mechanism includes a window switch plate and a window switch drive mechanism, which includes a window switch drive motor and a window switch transmission assembly. Furthermore, since the window switch plate is installed inside the breeding box to reduce oxygen levels, the window switch plate must be tightly fitted to the material with good sealing to prevent oxygen from entering the breeding box, so that the insects can automatically move out when oxygen is insufficient.

[0015] Furthermore, the window switch drive motor is composed of an outlet switch drive motor, and the window switch transmission assembly includes a window transmission rack, a window transmission gear, a window transmission belt, and a window transmission pulley. There are two window transmission pulleys, one of which is coaxially connected to the driven gear, and the other is coaxially connected to the window transmission gear. The window transmission belt is connected between the two window transmission pulleys. The window transmission rack is fixedly connected to the window switch plate.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cyclic drive mechanism includes a cyclic drive motor and a cyclic transmission assembly, wherein the cyclic drive motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate;

[0017] The circulating transmission assembly includes a circulating transmission chain and circulating transmission sprockets, with two circulating transmission sprockets arranged vertically; the circulating transmission chain is disposed between the two circulating transmission sprockets.

[0018] Multiple recirculating aquaculture boxes are evenly connected to the recirculating transmission chain via mounting frames.

[0019] With the above structure, driven by the circulating drive motor, multiple circulating aquaculture boxes can move up and down in a vertical plane along the circulating transmission chain.

[0020] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes a first mounting frame and a second mounting frame. The first mounting frame is fixedly connected to the circulating transmission chain, one end of the second mounting frame is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame, and the other end of the second mounting frame is connected to the circulating aquaculture box.

[0021] Furthermore, the other end of the second mounting frame is connected to the recirculating aquaculture box via a longitudinal sliding structure. The sliding direction of the longitudinal sliding structure is parallel to the axis of the recirculating transmission sprocket. The longitudinal sliding structure includes a sliding groove and a sliding part. The sliding groove is disposed on the second mounting frame, and the sliding part is disposed on the top of the recirculating aquaculture box.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the recirculating aquaculture box is equipped with wheels. When the recirculating aquaculture box needs to be fed and discharged, it is moved to the bottom so that the wheels are in contact with the ground. Then, an automated mechanism (such as a robotic arm) pushes the recirculating aquaculture box out of the cultivation room, away from the circulation drive mechanism. Finally, the waste in the recirculating aquaculture box is removed manually or automatically to start a new aquaculture cycle.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] This utility model's integrated breeding machine combines all the growth stages of black soldier flies together, which not only reduces the space occupied by the device but also eliminates the need for intermediate transportation, thus improving breeding efficiency and enabling large-scale breeding.

[0026] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the circulating aquaculture box, the outlet switch mechanism, and the window switch mechanism of this utility model. The diagram shows the circulating aquaculture box sliding out of the mounting frame. Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0028] Combination Figures 1-3 The black soldier fly larvae breeding integrated machine of this embodiment includes a larval chamber 01, a pupal chamber 02, and an adult chamber 03. The larval chamber 01, pupal chamber 02, and adult chamber 03 are connected by transfer channels in pairs, and a switch structure is provided at the transfer channels. The larval chamber 01 is equipped with a cyclic breeding mechanism for cyclic breeding of larvae. The cyclic breeding mechanism includes multiple cyclic breeding boxes 1 and a cyclic drive mechanism for driving the cyclic breeding boxes 1 to move cyclically in a vertical plane.

[0029] The adult chamber 03 is located above and on both sides of the top of the larval chamber 01. The adult chamber 03 is equipped with an egg collection mechanism 04 for adults to lay eggs and an egg-laying mechanism to transfer the eggs on the egg collection mechanism to the breeding box in the larval chamber below. When eggs need to be laid, the circulating breeding box 1 is driven to the direct under of the egg collection mechanism 04 to receive the eggs.

[0030] The pupal chamber 02 is located on both sides of the larval chamber 01 and is connected to the adult chamber 03 and the larval chamber 01 via a channel. When the larvae in the circulating breeding box 3 in the larval chamber 01 are raised to the marketable size, the oxygen restriction method of the cover plate is used to encourage the larvae to actively separate from the insect sand.

[0031] Furthermore, the recirculating breeding box 3 is equipped with a cover plate on top for covering the material in the recirculating breeding box during transfer. This cover plate is operated automatically by a drive mechanism. With the above structure, when it is necessary to separate young black soldier fly larvae for commercial use, the drive mechanism drives the cover plate to move down and cover the material in the recirculating breeding box, while simultaneously opening the larval outlet of the recirculating breeding box. This causes the black soldier fly larvae to automatically crawl to one side of the transfer channel due to lack of oxygen and fall into the pupal chamber 02 below the transfer channel.

[0032] Combination Figures 1-3 The side wall of the recirculating breeding box 1 is provided with a larvae outlet and an outlet switch mechanism. The outlet switch mechanism includes an outlet switch plate 2 and an outlet switch drive mechanism. The outlet switch drive mechanism includes an outlet switch drive motor 3 and an outlet switch transmission assembly. The outlet switch drive motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the recirculating breeding box 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the outlet switch drive assembly includes an outlet switch drive gear set, which includes a driving gear 4 and a driven gear 5. The driving gear 4 is mounted on the output shaft of the outlet switch drive motor 3, and the driven gear 5 is fixedly connected to the outlet switch plate 2 via a rotating shaft.

[0034] Combination Figures 1-3 Alternatively, the top of the circulating aquaculture box 1 may be provided with a window 1-1 and a window switch mechanism, the window switch mechanism including a window switch plate 6 and a window switch drive mechanism, the window switch drive mechanism including a window switch drive motor and a window switch transmission assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, the window switch drive motor is composed of an outlet switch drive motor 3. The window switch transmission assembly includes a window transmission rack 7, a window transmission gear 8, a window transmission belt 9, and a window transmission pulley 10. Two window transmission pulleys 10 are provided; one is coaxially connected to the driven gear 5, and the other is coaxially connected to the window transmission gear 8. The window transmission belt 9 connects the two window transmission pulleys 10. The window transmission rack 7 is fixedly connected to the window switch plate 6. Through the above results, on the one hand, the automatic opening and closing of window 1-1 can be achieved. When it is necessary to transfer larvae, window 1-1 can be closed. At this time, the oxygen in the circulating breeding box 1 gradually decreases, causing the black soldier fly larvae to automatically crawl towards the larvae outlet due to oxygen deficiency and then transfer to other places. On the other hand, using a single motor simplifies the structure and reduces costs.

[0036] Furthermore, since a window switch plate 6 is installed inside the breeding box to reduce oxygen, the window switch plate 6 in this embodiment must be installed close to the material and have good sealing to prevent oxygen from entering the breeding box so that the insects can be automatically transferred out when they are lacking oxygen.

[0037] Combination Figures 1-3 The circulating drive mechanism includes a circulating drive motor and a circulating transmission assembly. The circulating drive motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The circulating transmission assembly includes a circulating transmission chain 12 and a circulating transmission sprocket 13. There are two circulating transmission sprockets 13, which are arranged vertically. The circulating transmission chain 12 is disposed between the two circulating transmission sprockets 13. Multiple circulating breeding boxes 1 are evenly connected to the circulating transmission chain 12 through mounting frames.

[0038] With the above structure, under the drive of the circulating drive motor, multiple circulating aquaculture boxes 1 can move up and down in a vertical plane in a circular motion along the circulating transmission chain 12.

[0039] Combination Figures 1-3The mounting frame includes a first mounting frame 14 and a second mounting frame 15. The first mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the circulating transmission chain 12. One end of the second mounting frame 15 is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame 14, and the other end of the second mounting frame 15 is connected to the circulating aquaculture box 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the other end of the second mounting bracket 15 is connected to the recirculating aquaculture box 1 via a longitudinal sliding structure. The sliding direction of the longitudinal sliding structure is parallel to the axis of the recirculating transmission sprocket 13. The longitudinal sliding structure includes a sliding groove and a sliding part 1-3. The sliding groove is disposed on the second mounting bracket 15, and the sliding part 1-3 is disposed on the top of the recirculating aquaculture box 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the recirculating aquaculture box 1 is equipped with wheels. When the recirculating aquaculture box 1 needs to be fed and discharged, the recirculating aquaculture box 1 is placed at the bottom so that the wheels are close to the ground. Then, the recirculating aquaculture box 1 is pushed out of the cultivation room by an automated mechanism (such as a robotic arm) so that it is away from the circulation drive mechanism. Then, the waste in the recirculating aquaculture box 1 is removed by a manual or automatic feeding mechanism so that a new breeding cycle can begin.

[0042] Specifically, the aforementioned automatic dispensing mechanism and automatic feeding mechanism can refer to existing technologies, with the aim of automatically dispensing materials into designated containers and automatically removing materials from designated containers.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, unloading can be performed without removing the recirculating aquaculture box. Specifically, this is achieved through an automatic unloading mechanism, which includes an unloading gate, an unloading switch drive mechanism, and an unloading conveyor belt mechanism. The unloading gate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the recirculating aquaculture box 1 and forms the bottom surface of the recirculating aquaculture box 1. During unloading, the unloading gate is driven downward by the unloading switch drive mechanism, opening the bottom of the recirculating aquaculture box 1. This allows the waste in the recirculating aquaculture box 1 to automatically fall to the unloading conveyor belt mechanism below, which then transports the waste out for unified collection, thereby achieving automatic unloading.

[0044] Combination Figures 1-3 The working principle of the black soldier fly larvae farming integrated machine in this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] During operation, the empty recirculating breeding box 1 is first moved to the placement position by a circulating drive mechanism. Insect eggs and feed are placed into the recirculating breeding box 1 by manual or automatic placement mechanism. The insect eggs hatch and grow in the recirculating breeding box 1. When the larvae grow to the designated stage, they will enter the pupal chamber 02 through the transfer channel. After the pupae emerge from their cocoons as adults, the switch structure of the transfer channel between the adult chamber 03 and the pupal chamber 02 is opened, and the light in the adult chamber 03 is turned on. Adults will fly into the adult chamber 03 due to phototaxis, and then mate in the adult chamber 03 and lay eggs in the egg collection mechanism. After a certain period of time, the switch structure of the transfer channel between the adult chamber 03 and the larval chamber 01 is opened, and the empty recirculating breeding box 1 is moved below the transfer channel by the circulating drive mechanism. The eggs in the egg collection mechanism are transferred to the empty recirculating breeding box 1 below by the egg placement mechanism. The insect eggs hatch and grow in the recirculating breeding box 1, and are then transferred to the pupal chamber 02. By repeating the above operation, larvae can be continuously obtained.

[0046] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above content. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
