Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ladybug breeding technology, specifically a light regulation device for ladybug breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Ladybugs, belonging to the family Coccinellidae in the order Coleoptera, are natural enemies of pests such as aphids, playing a crucial role in pest control. They are one of the most effective natural enemies for controlling various pests in agriculture, forestry, fruit trees, and vegetables. However, the application of ladybugs in biological control is often limited by their small egg production, which hinders large-scale production. Currently, ladybug farming mainly involves breeding aphids on broad beans and peas, then feeding them with appropriate media to promote egg production.

[0003] A light regulation device is needed for ladybug breeding. A search revealed a patent document with publication number CN208286219U that discloses a ladybug breeding device, including a breeding box with a lid, a plant cutting pool at the bottom of the breeding box, and several egg collectors. The plant cutting pool consists of a water tank and a detachable partition plate separating the water tank from the breeding box. Several cutting holes are evenly distributed on the partition plate. The egg collectors are inserted into the cutting holes via support rods.

[0004] However, in the ladybug breeding device of this utility model, the light conditions have a significant impact on the growth, development and reproductive efficiency of ladybugs during the breeding process. The breeding device uses a fixed light source, which has problems such as low adjustment precision and cumbersome operation. It is difficult to meet the precise control requirements of light conditions during the ladybug breeding process and cannot meet the usage requirements. Therefore, a light adjustment device for ladybug breeding is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment of a lighting adjustment device for ladybug breeding includes a ladybug breeding box 1, a lighting lamp 2 disposed on the upper surface of the ladybug breeding box 1, a stand 3 disposed on the outside of the ladybug breeding box 1, a controller 4 fixedly installed on the outside of the stand 3, and a mounting plate 5 fixedly connected to the outside of the stand 3. A lifting mechanism 6 is disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 5, and a focus adjustment mechanism 7 is disposed on the outside of the stand 3. The lifting mechanism 6 includes a spline shaft 61 rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting plate 5, a slide rod 62 slidably connected to the outside of the spline shaft 61, a bushing 64 rotatably installed on the outside of the slide rod 62, a moving plate 63 fixedly connected to the outside of the bushing 64, a first driven gear 65 fixedly installed on the top of the spline shaft 61, and a drive mechanism disposed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 5 and extending to its lower surface.

[0025] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 66 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 5, a transmission gear 67 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 66, a rotating shaft 68 rotatably connected inside the mounting plate 5, a roller 69 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 68, a second driven gear 612 fixedly mounted on the top end of the rotating shaft 68, a reciprocating track groove 610 opened inside the roller 69, and a sliding shaft 611 disposed outside the roller 69. The controller 4 starts the drive motor 66, causing the transmission gear 67 to rotate, so that the transmission gear 67 meshes with the second driven gear 612 and the first driven gear 65 respectively, driving the rotating shaft 68 to drive the roller 69 to rotate. The sliding shaft 611 moves along the reciprocating track groove 610, allowing the lighting lamp 2 to adjust its illumination range by moving up and down and rotating with the sliding rod 62. This allows for flexible adjustment according to different light requirements during ladybug reproduction, making it suitable for different types of ladybug reproduction and achieving the advantage of high adjustment precision.

[0026] Specifically, the transmission gear 67 and the second driven gear 612 are meshed with each other, the roller 69 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 5, the sliding shaft 611 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the moving plate 63, and the end of the sliding shaft 611 away from the moving plate 63 is slidably connected to the reciprocating track groove 610. The first driven gear 65 is meshed with the transmission gear 67, and the lighting lamp 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the slide rod 62.

[0027] It should be noted that a guide rod 613 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 5, and a guide hole adapted to the guide rod 613 is opened inside the movable plate 63. The movable plate 63 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod 613 through the guide hole. By setting the guide rod 613, the stability of the movable plate 63 in moving up and down is improved.

[0028] In this embodiment, the focal length adjustment mechanism 7 includes a mounting base 71 fixedly connected to the outside of the stand 3, an electric push rod 72 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 71, an adjustment plate 73 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 72, and a convex lens 74 fixedly mounted on one side of the adjustment plate 73. The controller 4 controls the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 72, causing the adjustment plate 73 and the convex lens 74 on it to move up and down, thereby changing the distance between the convex lens 74 and the lighting lamp 2 to achieve focal length adjustment.

[0029] The convex lens 74 is located on the lower surface of the lighting lamp 2, and a slider 75 extending into the side of the adjusting plate 73 near the support 3 is fixedly connected. The support 3 has a groove 76 inside that matches the slider 75, and the slider 75 and the groove 76 are slidably connected. The cooperation between the slider 75 and the groove 76 ensures the stability of the adjusting plate 73 and the convex lens 74 during movement, preventing offset or shaking, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of focus adjustment.

[0030] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0031] In practical applications, the device is installed in the ladybug breeding box 1 area. According to the needs of the breeding stage, the controller 4 starts the drive motor 66 to drive the transmission gear 67 to rotate, so that the transmission gear 67 meshes with the second driven gear 612 and the first driven gear 65 respectively, driving the rotating shaft 68 to drive the roller 69 to rotate. The sliding shaft 611 moves along the reciprocating track groove 610, so that the lighting lamp 2 can adjust the lighting range by moving up and down and rotating the sliding rod 62. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the different lighting needs of ladybugs during the breeding process. The controller 4 controls the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 72, which drives the adjustment plate 73 and the convex lens 74 on it to move up and down, thereby changing the distance between the convex lens 74 and the lighting lamp 2 to adjust the focal length, so as to simulate the changes in daylight hours in nature, which may help ladybugs synchronize their physiological rhythms with the natural environment.

[0033] Any connection method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming.
