[0038] In order to make the purpose, characteristics and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , including frame body 10, incubation box 1 and first mating chamber 2, wherein the frame body 10 is provided with incubation cavity 101, and the incubation box 1 is slidingly installed in the incubation cavity 101, so that the incubation box 1 can be detached from the frame body 10, and the pupae to be incubated can be added to the incubation box 1.

[0040] Specifically, the first mating chamber 2 is located directly above the incubation box 1, and further includes a climbing channel 3, the axis of the climbing channel 3 is in a vertical state, one end of the climbing channel 3 communicates with the first mating chamber 2, and the other end of the climbing channel 3 communicates with the inner cavity of the incubation box 1. It is worth mentioning that in the present application, the top of the incubation box 1 is open upward, and is made of light shielding material. When the moth drills out of the pupa, the phototaxis of the bat moth is utilized, and the bat moth will enter the first mating chamber 2 along the climbing channel 3, and the climbing channel 3 is used to screen out female moths and male moths with strong activity, and then the first mating chamber 2 is used for mating.

[0041] In order to facilitate the female moths to climb into the first mating chamber 2, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , further including a climbing rope 7, wherein the climbing rope 7 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the first mating chamber 2, and the climbing rope 7 falls into the incubation box 1 through the climbing channel 3.

[0042] Through the above setting, the female moths can climb into the first mating chamber 2 along the climbing rope 7.

[0043] Normally, the weakly active female moths will stay in the incubator 1, resulting in that the weakly active female moths have no suitable mating environment, thus reducing the egg production.

[0044] Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a second mating chamber 4 is further arranged on both sides of the incubation cavity 101, specifically, the second mating chamber 4 is located at the same horizontal plane with the incubator 1, the side wall of the second mating chamber 4 is attached to the side wall of the incubation cavity 101, and an attracting hole 5 is further arranged between the second mating chamber 4 and the incubator 1, so that the weakly active female moths can enter the second mating chamber 4 through the attracting hole 5, thus enabling the weakly active female moths to mate and lay eggs in the second mating chamber 4, thereby providing mating space for the weakly active female moths.

[0045] It is worth noting that the side wall of the second mating chamber 4 away from the incubator 1 is made of light-transmitting material, and due to the fact that the incubator 1 is made of light-shielding material, the light passes through the side wall of the second mating chamber 4 away from the incubator 1 and the attracting hole 5 to enter the inner cavity of the incubator 1, thereby attracting the moths into the second mating chamber 4 for mating.

[0046] In order to be able to collect the eggs laid by the female moths in the first mating chamber 2 and the second mating chamber 4, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the frame body 10 is provided with a collecting chamber 102 located below the incubation cavity 101, wherein the bottom wall of the first mating chamber 2 is composed of a first screening net 91, and the bottom wall of the second mating chamber 4 is composed of a second screening net 92, after the female moths in the first mating chamber 2 and the second mating chamber 4 lay eggs, the eggs will fall through the first screening net 91 and the second screening net 92 to the collecting chamber 102 for collection.

[0047] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a collecting frame 6 is further slidably installed in the collecting chamber 102, and the collecting frame 6 can be used to accommodate the eggs.

[0048] The egg source collected by the collecting frame 6 is the first mating chamber 2 and the second mating chamber 4, at this time, the activity ability of the female moth in the two mating chambers is different, which will cause the quality of the eggs to be different, in order to distinguish the two kinds of eggs, in the embodiment, a partition plate 61 is fixedly arranged in the inner cavity of the collecting frame 6, it is worth noting that the partition plate 61 is arranged at the joint position of the first screening net 91 and the second screening net 92, the partition plate 61 divides the inner cavity of the collecting frame 6 into a first collecting cavity 62 and a second collecting cavity 63, wherein the first collecting cavity 62 is located below the first screening net 91, and the second collecting cavity 63 is located below the second screening net 92, the eggs in the first mating chamber 2 are collected by the first collecting cavity 62, and the eggs in the second mating chamber 4 are collected by the second collecting cavity 63.

[0049] When the moth crawls out of the pupa, part of the moths with strong activity ability have the phenomenon of entering the second mating chamber 4 from the induction hole 5, in order to further screen the moths with strong activity ability, a crawling hole 41 communicating with the first mating chamber 2 is arranged on the side wall of the second mating chamber 4 away from the incubator 1, at this time, the moths with strong activity ability can crawl into the first mating chamber 2 from the crawling hole 41 on the second mating chamber 4, thereby realizing accurate screening of the moths.

[0050] Since the incubator 1 can be pulled out of the incubation cavity 101, in order to make the moths in the incubator 1 enter the second mating chamber 4 after the incubator 1 is installed, as shown in Figure 5 , the induction hole 5 includes a first induction hole 51 and a second induction hole 52, wherein the first induction hole 51 is arranged on the side wall of the incubator 1, and the second induction hole 52 is arranged on the side wall of the incubation cavity 101 and communicates with the second mating chamber 4, when the incubator 1 is installed in the incubation cavity 101, at this time, the first induction hole 51 and the second induction hole 52 are opposite to each other, so as to realize the crawling of the moths.

[0051] The female moth with strong activity ability crawls into the first mating chamber 2 along the climbing rope 7, at this time, the moth has the risk of falling off the climbing rope 7, and since the volume of the first mating chamber 2 is large, the eggs laid by the female moth cannot effectively fall into the first collecting cavity 62, therefore, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , it further includes a flow guide plate 8, the flow guide plate 8 is rotatably arranged in the first mating chamber 2 through a rotating shaft 81, the two flow guide plates 8 are arranged in a roof ridge shape and are overlapped on the top of the second mating chamber 4, at this time, the flow guide plate 8 is used to block the top of the second mating chamber 4, the eggs laid in the first mating chamber 2 fall on the flow guide plate 8 and are guided to the first screening net 91, so as to realize the gathering of the eggs in the first mating chamber 2.

[0052] It is worth noting that the first screening net 91 extends to the bottom of the flow guide plate 8, so as to receive the eggs flowing down from the flow guide plate 8.

[0053] Wherein, the deflector 8 is further provided with an avoiding opening 82, when the deflector 8 is overlapped on the top of the second mating chamber 4, the avoiding opening 82 is sleeved on the outside of the climbing channel 3.

[0054] Since the moth life after pupation is short, it is often necessary to clean the dead moths in the first mating chamber 2 and the second mating chamber 4 in time.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , it further includes a turnover plate 21 for plugging the top wall of the first mating chamber 2, wherein the turnover plate 21 is rotationally connected with the inner wall of the first mating chamber 2, and the climbing rope 7 is installed on the turnover plate 21, when it is necessary to clean the dead moths in the first mating chamber 2, it is only necessary to turn over the turnover plate 21, and the cleaning of the moths in the first mating chamber 2 can be realized, when it is necessary to clean the dead moths in the second mating chamber 4, the turnover plate 21 opens the first mating chamber 2, and then the deflector 8 is rotated around the rotating shaft 81, thereby opening the top of the second mating chamber 4, and the cleaning operation of the moths in the second mating chamber 4 can be realized.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that the outer wall of the first mating chamber 2 can be made of light-transmitting material, so as to smoothly pass the light source through the climbing channel 3 into the incubator 1.

[0057] Wherein, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the inner cavity of the incubator 1 is further provided with a support plate 11 with a fan-shaped cross section, wherein the pupae are placed on the support plate 11, and the support plate 11 can also be arranged in an arched shape to increase the placement amount of the pupae.
