[0032] The outer wall of the inner container 21 is wrapped with an outer shell 27, the outer shell 27 is clamped with the base 1, and is provided with an opening 271 matched with the insect inlet 25; the top of the inner container 21 is provided with a cup cover 28.

[0033] The utility model discloses a top opening of inner container 21 is provided with external thread outside, and the inside is smeared with the mixture of white oil and vaseline, prevents the mite from escaping from the cup mouth, and the wall of inner container 21 uses the material of the light transmission material, allows the light to enter the inside of inner container 21 to operate the mite by using the phototaxis of mite, also allows the operator to directly observe the mite breeding condition, and the wall of feed platform 24 uses the material of the light -proof material, and the light of the below of inner container 21 disturbs the mite activity above feed platform 24.

[0034] The inner container 21 of the culture container 2 is the main container for mite breeding, and the wall is provided with an insect inlet 25, the insect inlet 25 is communicated with the feed platform 24, the mite is inoculated to the feed platform 24 in the initial culture, and the feed is added to the feed platform 24, along with the mite eating feed and moving, the mite and feed will gradually fall into the bottom of the inverted conical seat 22 of the inner container 21, then new feed is added to the feed platform 24 and is accompanied by light irradiation to the area of the inverted conical seat 22 at the bottom of the inner container 21, the mite will climb back to the feed platform 24 and eat new feed, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a transmission matching protrusion 26, which can be matched with a transmission matching recess 12, so that when the knob 14 is rotated, the culture cup inner container 21 can be rotated, when the inner container 21 is rotated to a certain angle, the insect inlet 25 is communicated with the channel 34 of the cross partition plate 3, so that the mite can pass through the channel 34 from one end of the inner container 21 to the other end of the inner container 21, realizing non-contact mite inoculation.

[0035] The specific culture process is as follows:

[0036] An inner container 21 without cup cover 28 is inserted into the groove 15 on one side of the base 1, and the limiting protrusion 151 and the limiting groove 272, the transmission matching protrusion 26 and the transmission matching recess 12 are matched and fixed, and the knob 14 is rotated to ensure that the connection between the insect inlet 25 and the channel 34 is disconnected.

[0037] The mite feed is added to the feed platform 24 and the mites are inoculated. The device is placed in an environment with temperature and humidity suitable for the growth of mites for cultivation. The cultivation state can be observed through the transparent inner container 21 wall and the outer shell 27 during the cultivation process. During the process, the feed will gradually fall into the bottom of the inverted conical seat 22 due to the consumption and movement of the mites on the feed platform 24. The residual feed, mite feces and mites can be separated by periodically turning on the white light mode of the lamp ring 4 below the side to drive the mites back to the upper feed platform. Due to the blocking of the cross partition 3, the light will not affect the area above the feed platform 24.

[0038] When the amount of residual feed is too much or the scale of mite cultivation is too large, the mites can be transferred: install the cup cover 28 on the inner container 21 to form a closed environment, insert another inner container 21 without installing the cup cover 28 into the groove 15 on the other side of the base 1 and cooperate in the same way and add feed, rotate the knob 14 to make the mite inlet 25 of the two inner containers 21 communicate with the channel 34, and turn on the white light mode of the upper and lower lamp rings 4 of the old inner container 21. Due to the large oxygen consumption of the mites in the old inner container 21 and the near-sealed state, and the good ventilation effect of the new inner container 21 without the cup cover, there is an oxygen concentration gradient in the two connected cultivation container units. Under the action of the oxygen concentration gradient and the light, the mites enter the new inner container 21 from the old inner container 21 through the channel 34; due to the blocking of the cross partition 3, the light will not affect the other inner container 21. When the transfer is basically completed, rotate the knob 14 to disconnect the mite inlet 25 of the two inner containers 21 from the channel 34. Then adjust the light on the old inner container 21 side to the deep ultraviolet sterilization mode to disinfect the old inner container 21, and then remove the old inner container 21 with the cup cover 28 and dispose of it harmlessly. The mites can also be expanded in accordance with a similar method during the transfer: after a certain amount of mites are transferred, the connection between the mite inlet 25 of the new inner container 21 and the channel 34 can be disconnected and the cup cover 28 can be installed, and the new inner container 21 can be removed and inserted into another base 1 to achieve expanded cultivation.
