The feeding device automatically sprinkles the feed at fixed times and locations to meet the feeding needs of sandworms, enabling indoor sandworm breeding. The bottom plate is automatically lifted and tilted at a certain angle, automatically lifting the first baffle so that the sand and sandworms are sent out of the inner box and slide down to the sand filtering device.
[0015] 2. The sand filtering device separates the sand from the sandworms. The collection hopper gathers the sand that has fallen through the sieve, preventing it from scattering everywhere and causing some mess. A filter screen will be placed on the filter plate. Once all the sand has fallen through the sieve, the opening of the filter screen can be tightened to collect the sandworms immediately. It is convenient and quick, and the sand can be recycled and reused. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, this embodiment discloses an integrated sandworm farming and collection machine, including a farming box 1 and a sand filtering device 2. The farming box 1 includes an outer box 11, an inner box 12, and a water tank 19. The inner box 12 is located inside the outer box 11. The outer box 11 has a first opening 111 located on one side of the outer box 11. The inner box 12 has a fourth opening 121 connected to the first opening 111. The outer box 11 is equipped with a first baffle 15 that can be raised and lowered. The first baffle 15 is controlled by a motor to raise and lower, and the first baffle 15 can block the fourth opening 121. The outer box 11 has a second opening 112, and the inner box 12 has a fifth opening 122. The second opening 112 connects to the fifth opening 122. The outer box 11 is equipped with a second baffle 17, which can move up and down. The first baffle 15 and the second baffle 17 descend to close the fourth opening 121 and the fifth opening 122, so that the inner box 12 forms a breeding space. Mud and sandworm nymphs can be put into the breeding space, and the sandworms can be bred in the inner box 12. A water pump 14 is installed on the top of the outer box 11. One end of the water pipe of the water pump 14 is connected to the water tank 19 and the other end to the inner box 12. The water tank 19 and the water pump 14 can control the water level in the sandworm breeding space, provide water for the sandworms, and add sodium chloride to the water to increase the salt concentration and provide a suitable growth environment for the sandworms.
[0024] The outer casing 11 is fitted with a base plate 16, which passes through the inner casing 12. The upper surface of the base plate 16 serves as the bottom surface of the inner casing 12. The lower end of the second baffle 17 abuts against the base plate 16. One end of the base plate 16 near the first opening 111 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 11, and the other end of the base plate 16 extends out of the second opening 112. The outer casing 11 is fitted with a rotatable lifting block 18. Rotating the lifting block 18 can control the lifting or lowering of the end of the base plate 16 extending out of the second opening 112. The second baffle 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the inner casing 12. The second baffle 17 can move up and down as the base plate 16 is lifted up and down, and the second baffle 17 can always keep the fifth opening 122 closed.
[0025] A third opening 113 is provided on the top of the outer casing 11. The feeding device 13 includes a first driving device 131, which is installed on the top of the outer casing 11. The feeding box 132 passes through the third opening 113. The feeding device 13 is installed on the outer casing 11. The feeding device 13 includes a movable feeding box 132, which is located inside the inner casing 12. The feeding box 132 includes a first material box 1321 and a second material box 1322. The first material box 1321 is located above the second material box 1322. The upper end of the first material box 1321 is provided with... The first feed box 1321 and the second feed box 1322 are connected by a connecting hole 1324. The bottom of the second feed box 1322 is provided with multiple feeding holes 1325. Feed is added through the upper opening of the first feed box 1321 and enters the second feed box 1322 through the connecting hole 1324. The feed entering the second feed box 1322 falls evenly into the sand pile in the inner box 12 through the feeding holes 1325. The feeding box 132 is driven by the first driving device 131, which can automatically spread the feed, time and place it to meet the feeding needs of sandworms.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, more preferably, the second feed box 1322 is provided with a slot 1323, and a connecting hole 1324 connects to the slot 1323. An insert plate 133 is installed on the side wall of the inner box 12. The insert plate 133 can be inserted into the slot 1323 and can block the connecting hole 1324. When the feed box 132 is in the start and end feeding positions, the insert plate 133 inserted into the slot 1323 to block the connecting hole 1324 can stop the first feed box 1321 from feeding feed into the second feed box 1322.
[0027] The inner box 12 is equipped with a sand-pressing mechanism 3, which includes a pressing plate 31, a rotating rod 32, and a driving rod 321. There are two pressing plates 31, which are symmetrically arranged. A connecting block 33 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the inner box 12. The lower end of the pressing plate 31 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 33, and the upper end of the pressing plate 31 is rotatably connected to one end of the driving rod 321. One end of the driving rod 321 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 32. The rotating rod 32 rotates to make the upper ends of the two pressing plates 31 move closer or further apart. The sand-pressing mechanism 3 uses a crank-rocker mechanism to divide the breeding block, turn the soil, rake the soil, and then flatten and smooth the block. The sand is pushed from both sides of the block towards the center to press it into a "road-shaped" trapezoidal shape, preventing water accumulation on the block and making the block firm, thus providing a stable growth environment for sandworms.
[0028] like Figure 5As shown, the sand filtering device 2 is located below the outside of the first opening 111. The sand filtering device 2 includes a frame 21, a filter plate 22, a second drive device 23, and a collection hopper 24. The sand filtering device 2 is provided with a connecting rod 25. The upper end face of the frame 21 is provided with multiple first connecting seats 211, and the lower end face of the filter plate 22 is provided with multiple second connecting seats 222. The two ends of the connecting rod 25 are rotatably connected to the first connecting seats 211 and the second connecting seats 222, respectively. The connecting rod 25 is Z-shaped. The frame 21 is equipped with the second drive device 23. The second drive device 23 includes a rotatable push plate 231. The push plate 231 has a cam structure. Rotation 1 causes the filter plate 22 to swing. At the same time as the bottom plate 16 is raised, the first baffle 15 is also raised. The sand and sandworms on the bottom plate 16 slide onto the filter plate 22. The swing of the filter plate 22 keeps the sandworms on the filter screen 221. The collection hopper 24 is fixedly installed on the frame 21. The collection hopper 24 is located below the filter plate 22. The swing range of the filter plate 22 is within the horizontal projection range of the collection hopper 24. The collection hopper 24 can collect the sieved sand and can be reused. The filter screen 221 can be fitted onto the filter plate 22. After all the sand has been sieved, the opening of the filter screen 221 can be tightened to collect the sandworms immediately, which is convenient and quick.
