Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cricket breeding, specifically relating to a multifunctional semi-automatic cricket breeding box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the cricket rearing boxes commonly used in laboratories are relatively rudimentary, consisting of only a basic rearing box with simple dividers for storing water and feed. These boxes lack modern, automated equipment, resulting in exceptionally heavy daily management tasks. Students must manually clean each box, removing feces and leftover feed, while also manually changing the water and regularly adding fresh feed. Due to the limitations of the box design, students often need to temporarily remove the crickets during these operations. This process is not only time-consuming and laborious but also significantly increases the complexity of the operation. Frequent transfers not only waste a lot of time and energy on these tedious and repetitive assembly-line tasks but also inevitably cause stress and loss in the crickets during the transfer process, further reducing rearing efficiency. This traditional manual operation method is not only inefficient but also results in a double waste of experimental time and valuable experimental materials. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention addresses the problem of complex operation of the aforementioned cleaning and breeding boxes by providing a multifunctional semi-automatic cricket breeding box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A multifunctional semi-automatic cricket breeding box includes a box body with a partition inside. A rectangular door is provided at the lower end of the partition, dividing the box body into a breeding area and a light-shielding area. The side walls and top of the breeding area are transparent, while the partition and the side walls and top of the light-shielding area are opaque. Through holes are provided at the lower part of the front and rear side walls of the box body, and a main sieve plate is slidably connected within these through holes. An auxiliary sieve plate is detachably connected to one side of the main sieve plate. A collection box is provided below the main sieve plate. A water trough and a feed trough are provided on one side of the breeding area. A water pipe is provided directly above the water trough, connecting to a water storage tank outside the box body. A valve is provided on the water pipe outside the box body. A feed inlet is provided directly above the feed trough, connecting to an automatic feeding device outside the box body.

[0006] Furthermore, a main baffle is provided at the rear end of the main screen plate, a grooved slide rail is provided at the front end of the main screen plate extending beyond the through hole, an auxiliary baffle is fixedly installed at the front end of the auxiliary screen plate, and a limiting slider corresponding to the grooved slide rail is provided at the rear end of the auxiliary screen plate.

[0007] Furthermore, two auxiliary through holes are provided on the side wall of the box, which correspond to the positions of the water trough and the feed trough, respectively. Handles are provided on the outside of both the water trough and the feed trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device includes a housing, with a grain storage bin located on the left side inside the housing. An inclined guide plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the grain storage bin's inner cavity. A sliding cavity is located on the right side inside the housing, and a vertical slider is slidably mounted within the sliding cavity. A limit plate is installed at the upper end of the vertical slider. A feed storage bin is located in the lower part of the vertical slider's interior, and the feed storage bin is connected to the grain storage bin. The lower end face of the feed storage bin is inclined. A positioning groove is provided at the lower end of the vertical slider, and a return spring is installed within the positioning groove. The other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the housing. The lower part of the vertical slider is fixedly connected to one end of a handle. A through groove is provided on the lower part of the side wall of the housing, and the other end of the handle passes through the through groove and is positioned outside the housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the box is provided with a T-shaped track, and the lower surface of the box is provided with a concave slide corresponding to the T-shaped track, which enables multiple boxes to be stacked securely and saves space.

[0010] Furthermore, the rear side wall of the box is provided with multiple ventilation holes to facilitate air circulation inside the breeding box.

[0011] Furthermore, two operating holes are provided on the front sidewall of the breeding area and the front sidewall of the light-shielding area, and elastic baffles are installed on the operating holes.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This utility model adopts the replacement of main screen plate and auxiliary screen plate, which facilitates the cleaning of the box. At the same time, the slide rail between the main screen plate and the auxiliary screen plate is set to be detachable. Both the main baffle and the auxiliary baffle can be used as handles and limit plates. When the main screen plate needs to be cleaned, the auxiliary screen plate is slidably connected to the main screen plate. When the main screen plate is pulled out from the through hole on the rear side of the box, the auxiliary screen plate enters from the through hole on the front side of the box. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0014] 2. The water pipe connected to the water storage tank of this utility model is equipped with a valve, which can be turned to control the amount of water dispensed. The automatic feeding device is equipped with a handle. As the handle is pressed, the feed tilts down from the feed inlet and enters the feed trough, which can be quantitatively fed and is convenient for feeding. At the same time, both the water trough and the feed trough can be pulled out of the box for easy cleaning. Attached Figure Description
