Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment of the invention, a quantitative feed dispensing device for insect farming includes a feed box 1, a feed inlet 2 fixedly installed at the top of the feed box 1, and a feed inlet 3 opened at the top of the feed inlet 2. A feed hopper 4 for storing feed is provided inside the feed box 1, and the feed hopper 4 is connected to the feed inlet 3. A discharge pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed hopper 4. A sliding plate 7 is slidably connected inside the feed box 1, and sliding bases 6 for sliding the sliding plate 7 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the feed box 1. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding plate 7. 8 is connected to the sliding plate 7. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 8 is rotatably connected to the sealing plate 12. One end of the connecting pipe 8 is fixedly installed with the support plate 9 for support. One end of the sealing plate 12 is fixedly installed with the connecting block 13. The connecting block 13 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support plate 9 with the connecting arm 14. The inside of the feed box 1 is fixedly installed with the push cylinder 10. The output end of the push cylinder 10 is fixedly installed with the support plate 9. The inside of the feed box 1 and directly below the sealing plate 12 is fixedly installed with the baffle 11. The inside of the feed box 1 is fixedly installed with the discharge pipe 15 for feed discharge.

[0023] The above scheme ensures that the top surface of the sliding plate 7 is in contact with the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 5, preventing leakage during feed storage. Furthermore, the length of the sliding plate 7 during sliding prevents the discharge outlet of the discharge pipe 5 from being in a discharging state. The baffle 11 and the sealing plate 12 are in contact, maintaining a sealed state with the connecting pipe 8 when no feed is being added. The connecting pipe 8 is a transparent graduated cylinder, allowing for precise feeding. Through the sliding plate 7, connecting pipe 8, pushing cylinder 10, and discharge pipe 15, feed can be precisely discharged from the feed box 1 to feed insects. This method is convenient, saves significant manpower and resources, reduces the workload of farmers, and facilitates user operation.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The feed inlet 3 is rotatably connected to a first crushing roller 16 and a second crushing roller 17. A cavity 18 is opened at one end of the feed box 2. The rotating shaft at one end of the first crushing roller 16 passes through the feed box 2 and is fixedly installed inside the cavity 18 with a driven gear 19. The rotating shaft at one end of the second crushing roller 17 passes through the feed box 2 and is fixedly installed inside the cavity 18 with a driving gear 20. The driving gear 20 and the driven gear 19 are meshed and connected. A rotating motor 21 that drives the driving gear 20 to rotate is fixedly installed inside the cavity 18.

[0025] The above scheme can break large feed particles into fine particles through the first crushing roller 16, the second crushing roller 17, the driven gear 19, the driving gear 20 and the rotating motor 21, making it easier for young insects to eat and helping them to digest and grow better.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5An installation base 25 is fixedly installed inside the feed inlet 3 and directly below the first crushing roller 16 and the second crushing roller 17. The installation base 25 is symmetrically fixedly installed inside the feed inlet 3. A screening plate 22 for screening the crushed feed is fixedly installed at the top of the feed inlet 3. A locking box door 23 is rotatably connected to one end of the feed box 2.

[0027] Using the above solution: the screening plate 22 and the mounting base 25 are fixedly installed by threaded screws. The screening plate 22 can block large particles of feed that have not been crushed, thereby increasing the uniformity of feed size. At the same time, the screening plate 22 can be replaced later by opening the locking box door 23.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The outer periphery of the discharge pipe 15 is provided with an annular baffle 26 to reduce feed splashing;

[0029] The above solution is adopted: the annular baffle 26 is arc-shaped and has an opening on the side facing the connecting pipe 8 for the connecting pipe 8 to be adapted. The annular baffle 26 can reduce the splashing of feed during feeding.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5 One end of the feed box 1 is provided with an observation window 24 to facilitate staff to observe the feed capacity inside the connecting pipe 8;

[0031] With the above solution, staff can easily observe whether there is enough feed inside the connecting pipe 8 through the observation window 24, which facilitates timely replenishment of feed.

[0032] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When feeding insects, the rotating motor 21 is first started. The rotating motor 21 drives the drive gear 20 to rotate. As the drive gear 20 rotates, it drives the meshing driven gear 19 to rotate as well. This, in turn, drives the first crushing roller 16 and the second crushing roller 17 inside the feed inlet 3 to rotate. At this time, the worker puts the feed into the feed box 2 through the feed inlet 3. The first crushing roller 16 and the second crushing roller 17 can crush the feed. The screening plate 22 inside the feed inlet 3 can block the large particles of feed that have not been crushed. Through the first crushing roller 16, the second crushing roller 17, the driven gear 19, the drive gear 20, and the rotating motor 21, the large particles of feed can be crushed into fine particles, which are easy for young insects to eat and help them digest and grow better. The crushed feed will enter the feed hopper 4 for storage and will be discharged through the discharge pipe 5. Feed is discharged into the connecting pipe 8. During feeding, simply activate the push cylinder 10 to drive the output end to push the support plate 9, which in turn drives the sliding plate 7 to slide inside the feed box 1 via the sliding base 6. When the sealing plate 12 at the bottom of the connecting pipe 8 slides out to the baffle 11, the sealing plate 12 will open due to the weight of the connecting arm 14, the connecting block 13, and the feed inside the connecting pipe 8. At this time, the feed inside the connecting pipe 8 will be discharged into the feed box 1 through the discharge pipe 15, completing the feeding. After the feeding is completed, the push cylinder 10 drives the sliding plate 7 to reset. During the reset, the sealing plate 12 contacts the baffle 11 and automatically resets the sealing plate 12 to seal the bottom of the connecting pipe 8. Through the sliding plate 7, the connecting pipe 8, the push cylinder 10, and the discharge pipe 15, feed can be quantitatively discharged into the feed box 1 to feed insects. The operation is convenient, saves a lot of manpower and resources, reduces the workload of farmers, and is convenient for users.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
