Honey water is injected into the absorbent cotton in the nutrient bag 130 using a syringe, and the nutrient bag 130 is placed in the mesh bucket 110 through the opening 11a and fixed in the mesh bucket 110 by the hook.

[0030] The insect collection component 200 in this embodiment is used to transfer adult insects in the breeding equipment to the mesh bucket 110. The insect collection component 200 includes an insect collection box 210, an air extraction component 220 and an insect suction tube 230. The air extraction end of the air extraction component 220 is connected to the insect collection box 210. One end of the insect suction tube 230 extends into the insect collection box 210 and can extend into the mesh bucket 110 through the opening 11a.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate loading and unloading the mesh bucket 110, in one embodiment, the insect collection box 210 includes a box body 211 and a box cover 212. The box cover 212 is rotatably connected to the box body 211, and the box cover 212 can be rotated to a position to open or close the box body 211.

[0032] In one embodiment, the enclosure 211 is a transparent structure, and a sealing ring is provided at the joint between the enclosure 211 and the cover 212.

The air inlet of the fan 221 is connected to the insect collection box 210 via the air extraction pipe, and the air extraction pipe and the insect suction pipe 230 are located on both sides of the insect collection box 210, respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that the air inlet of the exhaust pipe 222, the installation position of the mesh bucket 110 inside the box 211, and the discharge end of the insect suction pipe 230 should be kept as straight as possible to ensure efficient insect suction.

[0035] The egg collection component 300 in this embodiment is used to centrally place the mesh bucket 110 and receive the eggs laid by the adult insects inside the mesh bucket 110. The egg collection component 300 includes a placement rack 310 and a tray 320. The tray 320 is disposed on the placement rack 310, and the mesh bucket 110 can be disposed on the placement rack 310 and located above the tray 320.

[0036] In one embodiment, there are multiple trays 320, which are arranged sequentially along the length and vertical direction of the placement rack 310. The trays 320 are made of stainless steel and have a smooth surface. The width of each tray 320 is approximately equal to the length of the central axis 112.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the support of the tray 320 and the grid bucket 110, the egg collection assembly 300 also includes a plurality of support bars 330 fixedly installed on the placement rack 310, and at least two support bars 330 are provided at the bottom of both the tray 320 and the grid bucket 110.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] The enclosure 211 is made of transparent, airtight acrylic material, with dimensions of 60cm (length), 25cm (width), and 25cm (height). The front of the enclosure 211 features an openable and closable square lid 212, with dimensions of 40cm (length) and 20cm (width). The exhaust duct 222 and the suction duct 230 are made of PVC copper-plated steel wire flexible tubing. The inner diameter of the exhaust duct 222 is 5cm, and the outer diameter of the suction duct 230 is 4cm. A medium-pressure fan 221 serves as the power source.

[0040] The mesh bucket 110 is cylindrical, 30cm high and 14cm in diameter. The stainless steel sieve cylinder 114 has a 0.6mm aperture, and the central shaft 112 is 34cm long. The second end cap 113 has a 4cm diameter hole for the extension of the suction tube 230. A 5.5cm diameter thin disc is located at the hole, its edge fixed by the central shaft 112. The hole is opened and closed by the disc's rotation and sliding. The nutrient bag 130 measures 2.5*2.5cm, uses 50-mesh mesh, and has stainless steel hooks.

[0041] The placement rack 310 is made of stainless steel and includes four stainless steel columns, each 160cm long. The top and bottom of these columns are welded together with four crossbeams. Fourteen support strips 330 are welded to the two columns on the same side. These support strips 330 are parallel and evenly spaced, with a spacing of 9cm. The ends of the support strips 330 are slightly bent towards the center of the placement rack 310 to ensure that the two ends of the central axis 112 of the mesh bucket 110 can rest on them, and the tray 320 can rest on the support strips 330 below. The collection tray 320 is made of stainless steel, with a width of 34cm and a length of 60cm.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] For large-scale breeding, before each batch, prepare 28 nutrient bags 130 and inject honey water into the absorbent cotton inside the nutrient bags 130 using a syringe. Then, open the thin sheet on the second end cap 113 of the mesh bucket 110, suspend the nutrient bags 130 on the central shaft 112 inside the mesh bucket 110, and place the mesh bucket 110 into the box 211 of the insect suction assembly. Insert the inner extension of the suction tube 230 into the mesh bucket 110 and close the box cap 212 tightly. Start the fan 221 to begin operation, and insert the outer end of the suction tube 230 into the tobacco mealybug adult breeding device. The tobacco mealybug adults will then be efficiently transferred to the mesh bucket 110 by the airflow inside the suction tube 230. After approximately 800 adult tobacco mealybugs have been collected in the mesh bucket 110, remove the outer end of the suction tube 230 from the tobacco mealybug rearing container, open the box lid 212, close the thin sheet on the second end cap 113 of the mesh bucket 110, remove the mesh bucket 110, and replace it with an empty one. This collection process takes only about 15 seconds. Repeat the above collection steps 28 times to obtain a total of 28 mesh buckets 110 containing adult tobacco mealybugs. Place the mesh buckets 110 uniformly on the support strips 330 of the oviposition component. Four mesh buckets 110 can be placed side by side on each set of support strips 330, and one collection tray 320 is placed on the lower support strip 330. Continue until all mesh buckets 110 and collection trays 320 are placed. Starting the following day, collect and transfer the eggs in the collection tray 320 every 24 hours to obtain eggs laid at different ages. Each tray 320 can collect approximately 40,000 to 80,000 eggs per day. Add the eggs laid at different ages to the prepared feed and raise them separately. After 23-28 days, 5th instar larvae with relatively uniform age can be obtained.

[0044] Compared with existing technologies, the following method can be used: First, place the mesh bucket 110 into the insect collection box 210, and extend one end of the suction tube 230 into the mesh bucket 110, while the other end of the suction tube 230 extends into the breeding equipment. Turn on the suction device 220 to create a negative pressure in the insect collection box 210. Under the action of negative pressure, the adult insects enter the mesh bucket 110 through the suction tube 230, thereby realizing the transfer of adult insects. After collecting a certain number of adult insects, close the opening 11a through the sealing device 120, and place the mesh bucket 110 on the placement rack 310 above the tray 320. The eggs laid by the adult insects fall onto the tray 320 through the mesh holes, thereby completing the collection of insect eggs. This method is convenient to use.

[0045] 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 changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
