[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spiny-breasted frog hatching technology, and in particular to a hatching device for spiny-breasted frogs. Background Technology
[0002] The spiny-breasted frog is a rare amphibian endemic to the mountainous regions of southern my country. It gets its name from the black, horny spines covering the chest of the male frog, and is commonly known as the stone frog, stone chicken, or stone scale frog. Artificial incubation of the spiny-breasted frog requires not only high standards for water temperature and other environmental factors, but also specific requirements for the incubation enclosure.
[0003] Currently, the main type of suspension board for hatching spiny-breasted frogs uses a screen structure, and the hatching frame aperture is mostly fixed, which is not easy to adjust and cannot meet the needs of tadpoles at different growth and development stages.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an incubation device for spiny-breasted frogs. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-6 A hatching device for spiny-breasted frogs includes an outer shell 1. A hollow groove 2 is provided in the middle of the outer shell 1. A first suspension plate 3, a partition plate 4, and a second suspension plate 5 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the hollow groove 2. An extension plate 8 is provided on one side of the partition plate 4. A first movable groove 6 is provided on the outer side of the outer shell 1. A support plate 7 is movably arranged in the first movable groove 6. The support plate 7 abuts against the bottom of the second suspension plate 5. A first hatching hole 10 is provided on the first suspension plate 3. A cavity 9 is provided between the partition plate 4 and the outer shell 1. A rotating shaft 25 is provided at one end of the outer shell 1 near the cavity 9, and a rotating plate 15 is connected through the rotating shaft 25. A vertical plate 16 is installed on the rotating plate 15. A movable plate 21 is movably arranged on the vertical plate 16. A rotating rod 23 is movably arranged on the movable plate 21.
[0023] The outer shell 1 serves as the core carrier, and the layered structure of the hollow slot 2 enables multi-level control of the incubation environment. The incubation hole is adjusted according to the size of the spiny-breasted frog tadpoles. When they are small, the first incubation hole 10 is used, and when they are large, the second incubation hole 11 on the second suspension plate 5 is replaced to adapt to the activity range requirements of the spiny-breasted frog eggs at different developmental stages.
[0024] Furthermore, anti-slip pads are provided on both sides of the first movable groove 6, and the anti-slip pads contact the sides of the tray 7 to prevent the tray 7 from sliding.
[0025] The second suspension plate 5 has a coaxial second hatching hole 11 corresponding to the first hatching hole 10. The diameter of the second hatching hole 11 is larger than that of the first hatching hole 10, and a sealing block is provided at the bottom of the second hatching hole 11.
[0026] The coaxial design of the double-layered hatching holes enables three-dimensional distribution and protection of the eggs. The first hatching hole 10 serves as the main support area, with its diameter adapted to the initial size of the eggs, while the second hatching hole 11 is adapted to the tadpoles that have grown for a period of time.
[0027] A connecting hole 13 is provided on the partition 4 corresponding to the first incubation hole 10, and the connecting holes 13 are all located on the side of the first incubation hole 10.
[0028] Specifically, by moving the partition 4, the connecting hole 13 is moved to below the first hatching hole 10, so that the tadpoles can enter the second hatching hole 11 below the first hatching hole 10, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the hatching hole 10.
[0029] A rack 14 is provided on the extension plate 8, and a through hole 17 is provided on the surface of the vertical plate 16. A sliding plate 18 is slidably provided in the through hole 17. The sliding plate 18 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 21. A horizontal plate 22 is provided on the movable plate 21, and a rotating rod 23 is provided through the horizontal plate 22. A drive gear 24 that meshes with the rack 14 is provided on the rotating rod 23.
[0030] The meshing transmission system of rack 14 and drive gear 24 enables precise adjustment of the suspension plate structure. By rotating the rotating rod 23, the drive gear 24 is driven to slide the rack 14, which in turn drives the partition 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting hole 13.
[0031] A limiting groove 19 is provided above the through hole 17 on the vertical plate 16. The sliding plate 18 extends to one side of the limiting groove 19. A locking block 20 is movably provided on the sliding plate 18, and the locking block 20 is adapted to the limiting groove 19.
[0032] Furthermore, by moving the sliding plate 18, the movable plate 21 is moved, which facilitates the contact and meshing of the rotating rod 23 and the drive gear 24 on the rotating rod 23 with the rack 14.
[0033] A limiting strip 12 is provided on the partition 4. The partition 4 abuts against the first suspension plate 3 and the second suspension plate 5. Grooves are formed on the bottom of the first suspension plate 3 and the upper surface of the second suspension plate 5 corresponding to the limiting strip 12. The nested structure of the limiting strip 12 and the groove enables rapid positioning and anti-displacement of the suspension plates. When the first suspension plate 3 and the second suspension plate 5 are installed, the limiting strip 12 automatically embeds into the corresponding groove, forming a lateral constraint to prevent the suspension plates from sliding horizontally due to water flow impact. The bottom is supported by the support plate 7, which lifts the first suspension plate 3, the second suspension plate 5, and the partition 4, making them abut against each other. At the same time, the surface of the partition 4 is smooth, which facilitates the adjustment of the partition's position.
[0034] Specifically, the diameter of the first hatching hole 10 is 3-5 mm, the diameter of the second hatching hole 11 is 8-10 mm, and the diameter of the connecting hole 13 is gradually increased from top to bottom.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] During use, newly hatched eggs are placed in the first hatching hole 10 on the first suspension plate 3. After a certain period of cultivation, the size of the tadpoles is observed. When the tadpoles grow to a larger size, the rotating shaft 25 is rotated to move the rotating plate 15 and the vertical plate 16 to one side of the extension plate 8. The sliding plate 18 is pulled to move, thereby adjusting the position of the movable plate 21 and the rotating rod 23. When the active gear 24 on the rotating rod 23 meshes with the rack, the sliding plate 18 is fixed by inserting the locking block 20 into the limiting groove 19, thereby fixing the rotating rod 23. The partition plate 14 is moved by rotating the rotating rod 23 to adjust the position of the connecting hole 13, so that the connecting hole 13 moves below the first hatching hole 10. The tadpoles enter the second hatching hole 11 through the connecting hole 13.
[0037] By sequentially pulling out the first suspension plate 3 and the partition plate 4 from one side of the outer shell 1, and by pushing the tray 7 to adjust the height of the second suspension plate 5, the second suspension plate 5 is moved to the top, thus completing the replacement of the incubation hole and the adjustment of the incubation hole diameter.
