Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a tray-loading device for black soldier fly farming. Background Technology
[0002] Black soldier flies are an insect of great interest in agriculture and environmental protection. Their larvae can be used to process organic waste and are an excellent source of high-protein feed. With the increasing demand for black soldier flies, large-scale farming has become an inevitable trend. In this process, tray-loading devices, as key equipment in the farming process, play a crucial role.
[0003] The black soldier fly larvae rearing tray device is a specialized piece of equipment designed to provide a suitable growth environment for black soldier fly larvae. During larval rearing, quantitative feeding is necessary based on the larvae's growth and density. Overfeeding can lead to excessive substrate accumulation, creating an anaerobic environment and increasing the risk of disease. Underfeeding can result in malnutrition of the larvae, affecting their growth rate and quality. Traditional feeding methods typically involve manually scattering feed into the tray device at set times. However, this method consumes significant manpower and resources, and accurate feed quantification is difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new black soldier fly larvae rearing tray device to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

An electric valve is installed on one side of the bottom of the conical cylinder. Through a... Equipped with a spring and a weighing plate, the weighing plate compresses the spring, providing weight to the weight sensing blocks for weighing. Multiple sets of weight sensing blocks allow for simultaneous weighing of multiple feed batches. The weighing plate has slots adapted to the conical feed cylinder, ensuring the stability of the cylinder during weighing and improving the effectiveness of the device. An electric valve opens when the feed in the conical feed cylinder reaches a certain weight, allowing the feed to be distributed around the inner cavity of the feeding tray.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: T-shaped sliders are inserted on all four sides of the connecting block, and the connecting block has a sliding groove adapted to the T-shaped slider. The connecting block and the T-shaped slider form a sliding engagement connection mechanism. By forming a sliding engagement connection mechanism between the connecting block and the T-shaped slider, the weighing plate can be moved to ensure the effectiveness of weighing.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the upper ends of the left and right sides of the mounting box are fixedly connected with locking blocks, and the top plate is provided with a movable locking groove adapted to the mounting box. The mounting box and the top plate form a movable locking connection mechanism.
