TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of agricultural engineering especially trough type breeding and fermentation device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of China's economy, the livestock industry gradually changes to large-scale and intensive breeding mode, which not only meets the demand of people for meat, eggs and milk, but also produces a large amount of livestock and poultry manure. Effective treatment of it is an important task. Earthworm breeding is an agricultural technology with extensive ecological, environmental and economic benefits. In the breeding process, earthworms convert earthworm manure by digesting organic waste. Earthworm manure is rich in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients needed by plants, and is a high-efficiency, environmentally-friendly natural fertilizer. Compared with chemical fertilizer, earthworm manure not only provides nutrients needed by plants, but also enhances the water and fertilizer retention capacity of soil, improves soil structure, increases soil aeration and water permeability, and effectively promotes the healthy growth of crop roots, thereby improving crop yield and quality. In addition to earthworm manure, earthworms themselves also have high market value. As an animal protein source, earthworms are not only high-quality feed, but also can be used as fishing bait. Earthworms are also an important medicinal material in the medical field, with high medicinal value. For the development of rural economy, earthworm breeding provides new development opportunities.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0041] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 , the aquaculture and fermentation device includes an aquaculture fermentation unit, a percolate recovery unit, a rain and sun shielding unit, a water supply system, and a control system.
[0042] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the aquaculture fermentation unit includes an aquaculture fermentation tank 2 and a purification box 13. The aquaculture fermentation tank 2 provides the main space for earthworm aquaculture and fermentation of the aquaculture material, and is provided with a plurality of drainage holes at the bottom and a breathable and water-permeable lining on the inner wall. The purification box 13 is filled with an activated carbon adsorption layer. The plurality of drainage holes at the bottom of the aquaculture fermentation tank 2 are used to discharge excess liquid to the liquid collection tank 3 below, preventing water accumulation inside the aquaculture fermentation tank 2 and ensuring the normal operation of aquaculture and fermentation. The inner wall of the aquaculture fermentation tank 2 is provided with a breathable and water-permeable lining to prevent earthworm aquaculture material or fermentation material from falling into the liquid collection tank 3, and to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. The purification box 13 is filled with an activated carbon adsorption layer to adsorb odors and harmful gases released during fermentation, reducing pollution to the surrounding environment. A humidity sensor 14 is arranged in the middle of one side wall of the aquaculture fermentation tank 2, and the humidity sensor 14 is connected to the controller 5 for real-time monitoring of the humidity inside the aquaculture fermentation tank 2. Through the synergistic effect of these components, the aquaculture and fermentation device can provide a suitable humidity and air environment to ensure efficient and environmentally friendly operation of the earthworm aquaculture and fermentation process.
[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the percolate recovery unit includes a liquid collection tank 3, a liquid return pipe 10, and a liquid collection tank 9. The liquid collection tank 3 is installed below the aquaculture fermentation tank 2, and the liquid return pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the liquid collection tank 3. The end of the liquid return pipe 10 away from the liquid collection tank 3 is fixedly connected to the liquid collection tank 9, which is installed in a semi-underground manner, i.e., part of it is above the ground and part of it is buried below the ground. The liquid return pipe 10 drains the percolate to the liquid collection tank 9. The liquid collection tank 3 is installed below the aquaculture fermentation tank 2 to receive the liquid percolated from the drainage holes at the bottom of the aquaculture fermentation tank 2, avoiding direct percolation of the liquid into the soil and causing pollution. The liquid collection tank 9 is installed in a semi-underground manner, which not only facilitates the collection of percolate, but also saves space and facilitates subsequent treatment, while reducing the problem of odor and volatilization caused by exposure of the liquid to the air. Through the percolate recovery unit, percolate can be effectively collected and managed, providing convenience for resource utilization or harmless treatment of percolate.
[0044] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 andFigure 5 Each support frame 15 is provided with a rain and sunshade board 1 at the top, which is used to provide support for the rain and sunshade board 1 and ensure the stability of the device under different environmental conditions. The inside of each rain and sunshade unit is provided with a liquid collecting tank 3 for breeding and fermentation units and liquid seepage recovery units. The rain and sunshade board 1 is used to block rainwater, prevent external rainwater from entering the breeding and fermentation tank 2, avoid high humidity causing earthworms to escape or fermentation material to be too wet to pollute the soil, and avoid direct sunlight on the surface of the breeding and fermentation tank 2, thereby reducing the surface temperature, reducing water evaporation, and maintaining a suitable breeding and fermentation environment.
[0045] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 3 The water supply system includes a water storage tank 4, a filter 6, a water pump 7, a water supply main pipe 8, and a water supply branch pipe 11. The filter 6 is installed outside the water storage tank 4, the input end of the water pump 7 is connected to the outside of the filter 6 through a water pipe, the output end of the water pump 7 is fixedly connected with the water supply main pipe 8, and a plurality of water supply branch pipes 11 are fixedly connected to the water supply main pipe 8. The pipe wall of the water supply branch pipe 11 is provided with a plurality of water seepage holes. The water storage tank 4 is used to store water needed in the breeding and fermentation process. The filter 6 is used to filter impurities in the water, ensuring that the water supply pipeline will not be blocked by impurities, thereby prolonging the service life of the device. The water pump 7 is used to provide power for the water supply system and deliver water from the water storage tank 4 to the breeding and fermentation tank 2. The water supply main pipe 8 is used to connect the water pump 7 with the plurality of water supply branch pipes 11 and distribute water flow. The water supply branch pipe 11 is used to disperse water flow, and the water seepage holes in the pipe wall uniformly release water to provide an appropriate amount of moisture for the breeding and fermentation tank 2, ensuring that the humidity in the breeding and fermentation tank 2 is evenly distributed and improving water supply efficiency while avoiding local water accumulation.
[0046] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 The control system includes a controller 5, a humidity sensor 14, and an electromagnetic valve 12. The controller 5 is installed above the water storage tank 4, the humidity sensor 14 is installed in the middle of one side wall of the breeding and fermentation tank 2, and the electromagnetic valve 12 is installed at the connection between the water supply branch pipe 11 and the water supply main pipe 8. The humidity sensor 14 is used to monitor the humidity changes inside the breeding and fermentation tank 2 in real time and transmit data to the controller 5. The controller 5, as the core control unit, sends control instructions according to the set humidity range after receiving signals from the humidity sensor 14. When the humidity in the breeding and fermentation tank 2 is lower than the set threshold, the controller 5 starts the water supply system by opening the electromagnetic valve 12, and the water pump 7 delivers water from the water storage tank 4 to the water supply main pipe 8 and the water supply branch pipe 11. The water supply branch pipe 11 uniformly supplements moisture for the breeding and fermentation tank 2 through the water seepage holes, increasing the humidity inside the breeding and fermentation tank 2. When the humidity reaches the set upper limit, the controller 5 closes the electromagnetic valve 12 and stops water supply. Through the coordinated work of the above components, the control system realizes automatic adjustment of humidity, ensuring the stability and suitability of the breeding and fermentation environment.
[0047] Working principle: The groove type breeding and fermentation device monitors the humidity condition inside the breeding fermentation tank 2 in real time through the humidity sensor 14, and transmits the data to the controller 5. When the humidity inside a certain breeding fermentation tank 2 is lower than the set threshold, the controller 5 sends an instruction to start the water pump 7, and opens the electromagnetic valve 12 on the water supply branch pipe 11 connected to the breeding fermentation tank 2. The water in the water storage tank 4 is filtered through the filter 6, then enters the water supply main pipe 8, and is uniformly delivered to the breeding fermentation tank 2 through the connected water supply branch pipe 11. The water seepage holes on the water supply branch pipe 11 ensure that the water is uniformly released, thereby gradually increasing the humidity inside the breeding fermentation tank 2; when the humidity reaches the set upper limit, the controller 5 closes the electromagnetic valve 12 and the water pump 7, and stops supplying water to the breeding fermentation tank 2.
[0048] The breeding fermentation tank 2 is placed in earthworm breeding material or fermentation material, and the bottom is provided with a liquid discharge hole for discharging excess liquid into the liquid collecting tank 3. The liquid collecting tank 3 is connected to the liquid collecting tank 9 through the liquid return pipe 10, and the seepage collected by the liquid collecting tank 3 flows into the liquid collecting tank 9 through the liquid return pipe 10 for storage. The liquid collecting tank 9 is installed in a semi-underground manner, which facilitates effective collection and management of seepage, and provides convenience for resource utilization or harmless treatment of seepage. In the fermentation process, the purification box 13 effectively filters odors and harmful gases generated in the fermentation process through the internal activated carbon adsorption layer, thereby reducing pollution to the surrounding environment. The rain and sun shield 1 is covered on the top of the support frame 15 to prevent rainwater from entering the breeding fermentation tank 2, and to prevent the breeding fermentation tank 2 from being directly irradiated by sunlight, which causes water evaporation too fast. The device realizes precise humidity control and effective seepage collection, and is suitable for long-term maintenance of earthworm breeding and breeding material fermentation environment, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of earthworm breeding and breeding material fermentation. Moreover, the device has low manufacturing cost and is easy to use, which can effectively reduce the labor cost of earthworm breeding.
