[0038] Among them, the front ends of the two guide rods 9 are fixedly connected to push plates 8, and the push plates 8 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the earthworm placement box 12.

[0039] Furthermore, cylinders 7 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the earthworm placement box 12, and L-shaped fixing plates 6 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two cylinders 7.

[0044] Furthermore, a collection box B18 is placed inside the collection box A1, and a protective door 2 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the collection box A1.

[0045] Furthermore, when collecting earthworm castings, firstly, two cylinders 7 are activated. The telescopic ends of the two cylinders 7 drive the baffle 5 forward through two L-shaped fixing plates 6, causing the baffle 5 to disengage from the inner wall of the second rectangular groove 24.

[0046] Then, the servo motor 25 is started, which drives the threaded rod 27 to rotate. The threaded rod 27 drives the moving sleeve 28 to move forward. The moving sleeve 28 drives the slider 29 to move forward. The slider 29 drives the two guide rods 9 to move forward through the L-shaped moving plate 11 and the connecting plate 10.

[0047] Among them, the two guide rods 9 push the push plate 8 to move slowly. The push plate 8 will push the earthworm castings and earthworms inside the earthworm placement box 12 out of the earthworm placement box 12 through the inner wall of the second rectangular groove 24, and then fall onto the upper surface of the screen plate 15 along the inclined surface of the inclined plate 4 and the feed chute 3.

[0048] Then, two vibration motors 23 are started. The two vibration motors 23 drive the screen plate 15 to vibrate rapidly through four springs 21. When the screen plate 15 vibrates rapidly, the earthworm castings and earthworms are separated. The earthworm castings are broken up by the vibration and fall into the receiving box 19 through the screen holes on the screen plate 15. The earthworms fall into the rectangular box 13 through the inclined surface of the screen plate 15.

[0049] The earthworm castings that fall into the receiving box 19 will fall into the collection box B18 through the connecting pipe 22 for collection.

[0050] In this invention, by setting up a collection component, the pusher plate 8 pushes the earthworms and feces inside the earthworm placement box 12 to move slowly. The earthworms and feces continuously fall onto the upper surface of the sieve plate 15, and the sieve plate 15 quickly separates the earthworms and feces. This allows for continuous separation of earthworms and earthworm feces, and facilitates the separate collection of earthworms and earthworm feces, thereby improving the practicality of the earthworm feces collection component in the laboratory.

[0051] By controlling the rotational speed of the servo motor 25 and adjusting the movement speed of the push plate 8 via the moving sleeve 28, slider 29, L-shaped moving plate 11, connecting plate 10, and two guide rods 9, the feeding speed of earthworms and earthworm castings can be controlled, thus achieving uniform sieving of earthworms and earthworm castings and further improving the practicality of the earthworm castings collection component in the laboratory.

[0052] Working principle: When collecting earthworm castings, firstly, two cylinders 7 are activated. The telescopic ends of the two cylinders 7 drive the baffle 5 forward through two L-shaped fixing plates 6, so that the baffle 5 is disengaged from the inner wall of the second rectangular groove 24.

[0053] Then, the servo motor 25 is started, which drives the threaded rod 27 to rotate. The threaded rod 27 drives the moving sleeve 28 to move forward. The moving sleeve 28 drives the slider 29 to move forward. The slider 29 drives the two guide rods 9 to move forward through the L-shaped moving plate 11 and the connecting plate 10.

[0054] Among them, the two guide rods 9 push the push plate 8 to move slowly. The push plate 8 will push the earthworm castings and earthworms inside the earthworm placement box 12 out of the earthworm placement box 12 through the inner wall of the second rectangular groove 24, and then fall onto the upper surface of the screen plate 15 along the inclined surface of the inclined plate 4 and the feed chute 3.

[0055] Then, two vibration motors 23 are started. The two vibration motors 23 drive the screen plate 15 to vibrate rapidly through four springs 21. When the screen plate 15 vibrates rapidly, the earthworm castings and earthworms are separated. The earthworm castings are broken up by the vibration and fall into the receiving box 19 through the screen holes on the screen plate 15. The earthworms fall into the rectangular box 13 through the inclined surface of the screen plate 15.

[0056] The earthworm castings that fall into the receiving box 19 will fall into the collection box B18 through the connecting pipe 22 for collection.

[0057] In this system, by setting up a collection component, the pusher plate 8 pushes the earthworms and feces inside the earthworm placement box 12 to move slowly. The earthworms and feces continuously fall onto the upper surface of the sieve plate 15, and the sieve plate 15 quickly separates the earthworms and feces. This allows for continuous separation of earthworms and earthworm feces, and facilitates the separate collection of earthworms and earthworm feces after separation.

[0058] By controlling the rotation speed of the servo motor 25, and adjusting the movement speed of the push plate 8 via the moving sleeve 28, slider 29, L-shaped moving plate 11, connecting plate 10, and two guide rods 9, the feeding speed of earthworms and earthworm castings can be controlled, thus achieving uniform screening of earthworms and earthworm castings.

[0059] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
