[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model is an easy-to-clean insect rearing device, including a rearing box 1. A cleaning cover 5 is rotatably installed on the front end face of the rearing box 1. A rearing net 7 is provided inside the rearing box 1. The rearing net 7 is set in the shape of a mesh strip and the rearing net 7 is connected end to end. Rotating rods 8 are provided on both the upper and lower sides inside the rearing net 7. The rotating rods 8 are rotatably connected to the rearing box 1.

[0024] When it is necessary to clean the feeding net, there is no need to move the insects. Simply open the cleaning cover 5, and with the help of the rotating rod 8, rotate the feeding net 7 to move the soiled part to the bottom for targeted cleaning. At the same time, move the clean part of the feeding net 7 to the feeding area for the insects to continue to move around, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inside of the feeding net 7 is equipped with a collection trough 9, and the cleaning cover 5 is located in front of the feeding net 7. The upper end of the cleaning cover 5 is located in front of the collection trough 9, which makes it easy to remove the collection trough 9. At the same time, the front and rear ends of the two rotating rods 8 located at the top inside the feeding net 7 can be connected to the feeding box 1, which increases the stability of the feeding net 7. The two sides below the collection trough 9 are symmetrically provided with positioning folding plates 14. The positioning folding plates 14 are set as L-shaped plates and are fixedly connected to the feeding box 1.

[0026] During the insects' daily activities, dirt can fall through the rearing net 7 into the collection tank 9, making it easy for keepers to clean regularly and preventing dirt accumulation from breeding bacteria and affecting the insects' health. The L-shaped positioning folding plates 14 symmetrically arranged on both sides below provide stable support and positioning for the collection tank 9, preventing the collection tank 9 from shifting or tipping over during use, ensuring that dirt falls accurately into the tank, maintaining the cleanliness and stability of the rearing environment, and increasing its practicality.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 A support rod 15 is provided at the top inside the feeding net 7, and multiple support rods 15 are provided. The support rod 15 is in contact with the inner side of the upper part of the feeding net 7, and the support rod 15 is rotatably connected to the feeding box 1.

[0028] When insects are raised on the rearing net 7, they will exert a certain amount of pressure on the net. The support rod 15 can distribute the pressure on the net, prevent the net from deforming or breaking due to excessive local stress, extend the service life of the rearing net 7, and reduce replacement costs.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 Feeding troughs 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides above the feeding net 7. A side plate 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the feeding trough 11, and one side of the side plate 12 extends to one end face of the feeding box 1.

[0030] The feeding troughs 11 on both sides ensure that insects in different locations can easily access food, reducing fighting and malnutrition caused by uneven food distribution. The side panels 12 make it easy to pull out the feeding troughs 11 to add feed, improving the convenience of feeding work.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A limiting strip 13 is provided on the upper side of one side of the side plate 12. The upper end of the limiting strip 13 is rotatably connected to the feeding box 1. A stabilizing strip 10 is symmetrically fixedly installed inside the feeding box 1 along the front and rear ends of the feeding trough 11. Long grooves 1101 are symmetrically provided on the front and rear ends of the feeding trough 11. The stabilizing strip 10 is inserted into the long grooves 1101.

[0032] By setting the limiting strip 13, the side plate 12 can be restricted, which increases the positional stability of the feeding trough 11. When it is necessary to pull out the feeding trough 11, the limiting strip 13 can be rotated flexibly so that the lower part of the limiting strip 13 rotates to the position above the side plate 12 without affecting the translation of the side plate 12. In addition, the stabilizing strips 10 symmetrically fixed inside the feeding box 1 along the front and rear ends of the feeding trough 11 are inserted into the long grooves 1101 on the front and rear ends of the feeding trough 11, which further enhances the stability of the feeding trough 11 and increases its practicality.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 A handle 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the feeding box 1, and ventilation nets 3 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the feeding box 1.

[0034] The handle 2 provides convenience for the handler to move the device, and the symmetrically fixed ventilation nets 3 on both sides facilitate ventilation inside the feeding box.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 Transparent panels 4 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the rearing box 1, and transparent covers 6 are symmetrically fixed on the front and rear ends of the rearing box 1. The transparent covers 6 are installed with screws, which makes them easy to disassemble and assemble, and are used for putting insects in and taking them out, thus increasing their practicality.

[0036] With the transparent panel 4 and the transparent cover 6, keepers can observe the insects' growth status, activity, and feeding behavior at any time without opening the rearing box 1, thus increasing its practicality.

[0037] Working principle: When cleaning is required, open the cleaning cover 5 and manually rotate the feeding net 7 slowly to rotate the soiled part of the net downwards for cleaning. At the same time, the clean net automatically moves into the feeding area, achieving uninterrupted feeding. Insect excrement and other stains can fall through the mesh of the feeding net 7 into the collection trough 9 below. Meanwhile, multiple support rods 15 evenly support the net surface of the feeding net 7 to prevent deformation. The feeding troughs 11 on both sides are kept stable by the cooperation of the stabilizing strips 10 and the long grooves 1101, which facilitates the feeding. The transparent plate 4 and the transparent cover 6 provide observation windows, the breathable net 3 ensures air circulation, and the handle 2 facilitates carrying. This is conducive to the stable feeding of insects and increases practicality.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
