Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wasp nest building and breeding technology, specifically a multi-layer wasp nest building drip irrigation device. Background Technology

[0002] Wasp farming is an important part of the specialized aquaculture industry. Providing suitable environmental conditions is key to ensuring successful farming and improving economic benefits. The environment inside the wasp nesting and breeding box plays a decisive role in the growth, reproduction and health of wasps, and humidity is particularly important.

[0003] During the larval stage of wasp rearing, the larvae are extremely sensitive to humidity. Suitable humidity helps the larvae to molt and pupate smoothly, ensuring their normal growth and development. If the humidity is insufficient, the larvae may have difficulty molting, leading to developmental deformities or even death. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to cause the growth of bacteria, which can cause the larvae to become infected with diseases. During the queen bee's overwintering period, suitable humidity can maintain the stability of the queen bee's physiological functions, improve her overwintering survival rate, and lay the foundation for reproduction in the following year. Wasps also have specific requirements for humidity when building nests. Suitable humidity can make the nesting materials adhere better and ensure the stability of the honeycomb structure.

[0004] For example, the Chinese authorized patent CN217722406U (A Humidity-Adjustable Intelligent Beehive for Beekeeping) includes multiple beehive bodies and a support assembly located at the bottom of the beehive bodies. An L-shaped shelf is connected to the bottom of the support assembly. A hair dryer and a humidifier are connected to the inner wall of the shelf. One side of the hair dryer is connected to a ventilation duct with a heating wire installed on its inner wall. A filter is connected to the side of the hair dryer away from the ventilation duct. An air outlet pipe is connected to the ventilation duct. The humidifier is also connected to the ventilation duct. Main pipes are located on the sides of the multiple beehive bodies. These main pipes are connected to the beehive bodies via multiple secondary pipes. The air outlet pipe is connected to one of the main pipes. Adjacent main pipes are connected via a connecting piece. A rubber stopper is inserted into one end of the main pipe away from the air outlet pipe. This humidity-adjustable intelligent beehive for bekeeping can not only adjust humidity and temperature but also be assembled in combination.

[0005] However, existing wasp nesting and breeding boxes mostly rely on natural environmental humidity to maintain the humidity inside the box, lacking effective artificial control methods. Natural humidity fluctuates greatly due to factors such as season and climate. In dry seasons or arid regions, the sand at the bottom of the breeding box dries out very easily, causing a sharp drop in humidity inside the box, which cannot meet the needs of wasps for growth, reproduction, and nest building. In humid seasons or regions, excessive humidity is likely to occur, creating conditions for the growth of bacteria and mold, seriously threatening the health of wasps. In addition, some existing simple humidity control methods, such as regular manual watering, not only consume a lot of manpower but also have difficulty in accurately controlling humidity and are not very effective. Therefore, they do not meet the current needs. To address this, we propose a multi-layer wasp nesting drip irrigation device. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layer wasp nesting drip irrigation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing wasp nesting and breeding boxes mostly rely on natural environmental humidity to maintain the humidity inside the box, lacking effective artificial control methods. Natural humidity fluctuates greatly due to factors such as season and climate. In dry seasons or arid areas, the sand at the bottom of the breeding box dries out very easily, causing the humidity inside the box to drop sharply, which cannot meet the needs of wasp growth, reproduction and nesting. In humid seasons or regions, excessive humidity is likely to occur, creating conditions for the growth of bacteria and mold, seriously threatening the health of wasps. In addition, some existing simple humidity control methods, such as regular manual watering, not only consume a lot of manpower, but also have difficulty in accurately controlling humidity and have poor effects.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-layer wasp nesting drip irrigation device, comprising: a breeding rack, wherein multiple breeding racks are arranged and stacked at equal intervals, a breeding cavity is provided on the upper surface of the breeding rack, a breeding box is placed inside the breeding cavity, multiple breeding boxes are arranged, and sand is laid between the bottom surface of the breeding box and the bottom surface of the breeding cavity, and the breeding box is located on the sand, a drip irrigation component is laid in the sand, a first humidity sensing component is provided at the upper end of one side of the breeding rack, and a second humidity sensing component is provided at the upper end of the other side of the breeding rack.

[0008] Preferably, the drip irrigation assembly includes a drip irrigation pipe and dripper holes, and the dripper holes are located on both sides of the drip irrigation pipe and communicate with the internal channels of the drip irrigation pipe.

[0009] Preferably, one side surface of the aquaculture rack is provided with a through hole, and one end of the drip irrigation pipe is inserted along the through hole and pre-buried in the sand.

[0010] Preferably, the other end of the drip irrigation pipe is provided with a connecting pipe, and a solenoid valve is provided on one side of the connecting pipe, and the number of solenoid valves corresponds one-to-one with the number of drip irrigation pipes.

[0011] Preferably, a water tank is provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe, and a water level monitoring device and a water pump are pre-installed inside the water tank. A water inlet is provided on the upper surface of one side of the water tank, and a controller is provided above the water tank. The controller is fixed to the water tank by external fasteners on the upright.

[0012] Preferably, both the first humidity sensing component and the second humidity sensing component include a mounting bracket and a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor is fixed to one end of the mounting bracket by an external bolt and is inserted into the sand. The other end of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting base. Both ends of the mounting base are provided with fixing screws, and one end of the fixing screw passes through the mounting base and is fixed to the aquaculture bracket.

[0013] Preferably, each of the corners of the breeding rack is provided with a support leg, and the two breeding racks are fixed together by welding the support legs.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) This utility model, through the coordinated operation of a humidity sensor and a controller, can monitor and adjust the humidity of the sand at the bottom of the wasp nesting and breeding box in real time and accurately, keeping it within the optimal humidity range required for wasp growth, reproduction, and nest building. This greatly improves the accuracy and stability of humidity control, achieving full automation of humidity control without frequent manual intervention, reducing the labor intensity of breeders and lowering labor costs. At the same time, automated control avoids humidity fluctuations caused by untimely or inaccurate manual operation, providing a more stable living environment for wasps. The suitable humidity environment promotes the healthy development of wasp larvae, improves the overwintering survival rate of queen bees, and improves the quality of wasp nest building, thereby effectively improving the reproduction rate and breeding success rate of wasps, increasing the yield and quality of wasp products, and significantly improving the economic benefits of breeding. The target humidity range can be flexibly adjusted according to the climate conditions of different regions, wasp species, and different growth stages of wasps, making it widely applicable. To meet the diverse breeding environments and needs, the drip irrigation system is made of high-quality materials and features a reasonable design with excellent corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties, ensuring long-term stable operation. Regular maintenance further guarantees system reliability, reduces equipment failure rates, lowers maintenance costs, and improves the success rate and economic benefits of wasp breeding. It addresses the shortcomings of existing wasp nesting and breeding boxes, which rely heavily on natural humidity levels and lack effective artificial control. Natural humidity fluctuates significantly due to seasonal and climatic factors. In dry seasons or arid regions, the sand at the bottom of the breeding box dries out easily, causing a sharp drop in humidity, which fails to meet the needs of wasp growth, reproduction, and nest building. Conversely, in humid seasons or regions, excessive humidity can create conditions for the growth of bacteria and mold, seriously threatening the health of wasps. Furthermore, existing simple humidity control methods, such as regular manual watering, are not only labor-intensive but also difficult to control precisely, resulting in poor performance.

[0023] The upper surface of the breeding rack 1 is provided with a breeding chamber 9, and a breeding box 10 is placed inside the breeding chamber 9. Multiple breeding boxes 10 are provided, and sand is laid between the bottom surface of the breeding box 10 and the bottom surface of the breeding chamber 9. The breeding box 10 is located on the sand, and a drip irrigation component 7 is laid inside the sand. A first humidity sensing component 11 is provided at the upper end of one side of the breeding rack 1, and a second humidity sensing component 12 is provided at the upper end of the other side of the breeding rack 1. The drip irrigation component 7 includes a drip irrigation pipe 13 and dripper holes 14, with the dripper holes 14 located on both sides of the drip irrigation pipe 13 and communicating with the internal channels of the drip irrigation pipe 13. A through hole 8 is provided on one side of the surface, and one end of the drip irrigation pipe 13 is inserted along the through hole 8 and pre-buried in the sand. A connecting pipe 5 is provided at the other end of the drip irrigation pipe 13. A solenoid valve 6 is provided on one side of the connecting pipe 5, and the number of solenoid valves 6 corresponds one-to-one with the drip irrigation pipe 13. A water tank 3 is provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe 5, and a water level monitoring device and a water pump are pre-installed inside the water tank 3. A water inlet 19 is provided on the upper surface of one side of the water tank 3. A controller 4 is provided above the water tank 3, and the controller 4 is fixed to the water tank 3 by external fasteners on the upright. A first humidity sensing component 11 and a second humidity sensing component 12 are provided. Each includes a mounting bracket 15 and a humidity sensor 16. The humidity sensor 16 is fixed to one end of the mounting bracket 15 by an external bolt and is inserted into the sand. The other end of the mounting bracket 15 is provided with a mounting base 17. Both ends of the mounting base 17 are provided with fixing screws 18, and one end of the fixing screws 18 passes through the mounting base 17 and is fixed to the breeding tray 1. One end of the drip irrigation pipe 13 is inserted along the through hole 8 and pre-buried in the sand. The other end is controlled by a solenoid valve 6 to control the water flow. The breeding box 10 containing wasps is placed on the breeding tray 1, located on the upper surface of the sand. The three-layer breeding tray 1... The breeding box 10 is divided into three sections: hornets in the larval stage, queen bees, and hornets in the nest-building stage. The first humidity sensing component 11 and the second humidity sensing component 12 are fixed near both ends of the breeding frame 1 to facilitate close-range and long-range humidity monitoring of the sand, improving accuracy.
