Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect breeding technology, specifically to a ladybug breeding device based on artificial feed. Background Technology

[0002] Ladybugs play a crucial role in biological control, effectively controlling the number of pests such as aphids and ensuring the healthy growth of crops and garden plants. However, artificial breeding of ladybugs currently faces many challenges. For example, when feeding artificial feed, the lack of suitable tools often leads to complicated feeding processes, damage to the insects, and easy spillage of feed. Furthermore, larvae have strict requirements for the freshness of feed, and improper feeding can easily cause larvae to refuse to eat, grow slowly, or even die, resulting in a low larval survival rate.

[0003] Currently known auxiliary containers for ladybug farming are mostly simple box-shaped or cage-shaped structures. The feed placement area is not specifically designed and is easily contaminated by ladybug activity. The feed replacement is also relatively straightforward, which can easily damage ladybug larvae and fails to meet the requirements for artificial feed preservation. Furthermore, the internal space layout of the container does not fully consider the climbing and habitat habits of ladybugs, which is not conducive to their normal life. There is an urgent need for a newly designed auxiliary container to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figs. 1-3 One embodiment includes a box body 1, with a sealing cover 2 adapted to the top of the box body 1. The sealing cover 2 includes two cover bodies 201, with a cover folding bolt 202 between the two cover bodies 201. The two cover bodies 201 can be flipped 180 degrees through the cover folding bolt 202. A feed tray 4 is provided inside the box body 1, and L-shaped buckles 5 are provided on the inner side wall of the box body 1. A piece of paper 6 is provided between every two L-shaped buckles 5.

[0017] The box 1 is rectangular in shape and made of high-strength, transparent food-grade plastic. The dimensions of box 1 are 15-30 cm long, 8.15 cm wide, and 5-10 cm high. The dimensions of box 1 provide ample space for ladybugs to move around while facilitating proper placement and management in the breeding area. The two feed trays 4 are 0.2-0.3 cm high, with one side having a height of 0.5-1.0 cm. This specific height design of the feed trays 4 reduces the chance of ladybugs falling into the trays, and the higher side makes it easier to use tools such as tweezers to remove the feed trays 4. The feed is removed through the access port 401, making it easy to clean up any remaining feed and replace it with fresh feed. When feeding or changing the feed, simply open the cover 201 on the side where the feed needs to be replaced, remove any remaining ladybugs, and then directly replace the feed or remove the tray 4 from the access port 401 to replace the corresponding feed. Since ladybugs have high requirements for feed freshness, they will actively go to the feed with higher freshness. At this time, there are very few ladybugs on the side where the feed needs to be replaced, reducing the time spent cleaning ladybugs from the feed tray 4 during the replacement process and improving efficiency. Alternating between the two sides of the feed ensures that the ladybugs can obtain fresh feed in a timely manner.

[0018] Both lids 201 have a mesh 203 on top, with a mesh count of 50-100. The high-strength food-grade plastic material ensures the box 1 has good stability and provides a reliable habitat for ladybugs. Its transparency allows breeders to observe the growth status of ladybugs at any time. The 50-100 mesh mesh 203 on the top of the lid 201 effectively ensures air circulation inside the box 1, providing fresh air for the ladybugs. At the same time, the overall structure ensures the relative sealing of the internal environment of the box, preventing ladybugs from escaping.

[0019] The inner wall of the box 1 is coated with polyurethane paint, and the two feed trays 4 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene coating material. Polyurethane paint has excellent wear resistance, excellent chemical and oil resistance, and strong adhesion, making it difficult for impurities and dirt to adhere to the inner wall of the box 1, making it easy to clean. Polytetrafluoroethylene coating material has good chemical stability, thermal stability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent anti-adhesion. The feed trays 4 are made of this material, which can effectively prevent feed residue and dirt from adhering, making it easy to clean and ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed, which is conducive to the healthy growth of ladybugs.

[0020] Magnet 1 701 is provided on both sides of the top of box 1, and two magnets 2 702 that are compatible with magnet 1 701 are provided at the bottom of sealing cover 2. Through the mutual attraction between magnet 1 701 and magnet 2 702, sealing cover 2 is tightly connected to box 1, which enhances the sealing of box 1 and prevents ladybugs from escaping. At the same time, when it is necessary to open sealing cover 2 for operation, it can be separated relatively easily, which is convenient for breeders to perform operations such as feeding, changing and observing.

[0021] Both sides of the box body 1 are provided with easy access openings 401 that are compatible with the feed tray 4. The easy access openings 401 make it convenient for farmers to use tweezers or other tools to clamp the operating surface of the feed tray 4 through the easy access openings 401 and easily remove the tray, thereby conveniently cleaning up the remaining feed and replacing it with new feed, improving the efficiency of feed replacement.

[0022] The L-shaped buckle 5 on the inner side wall of the box 1 can be used to insert paper 6, which, combined with the pupation characteristics of ladybugs, facilitates their pupation on the side wall.

[0023] In actual use of this feeding device, first insert the paper piece 6 between the L-shaped clips 5 on the inner side wall of the box 1. Ladybugs have the habit of pupating in hidden places, and the paper piece 6 can provide a pupation site for the ladybugs. According to the pupation characteristics of ladybugs, the breeder can use this structure to collect the pupated bodies, which is convenient for subsequent experiments or production packaging. Then, when it is necessary to change the feed, gently hold the side of the feed tray 4 with tweezers and take it out from the easy access opening 401. This makes it easy to clean up the remaining feed and replace it with new feed. In order to further speed up the feed replacement efficiency, combined with magnetic... The suction-type sealing cover 2 allows for easy replacement of feed by simply opening the cover 201 on the side where the feed needs to be changed. Alternating between the two sides ensures that ladybugs can access fresh feed in a timely manner. For cleaning and maintenance, the box 1 can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove surface stains and dust. Removable parts such as the sealing cover 2, feed tray 4, and divider 3 can be disassembled for individual cleaning, which is convenient, quick, reduces cleaning and maintenance costs, and extends the service life of the feeding equipment.

[0024] In summary, this ladybug rearing device based on artificial feed significantly improves the efficiency of feeding ladybugs with artificial feed through its reasonable structural design. The two feed trays 4 inside the box 1 allow breeders to accurately and efficiently add and replace feed. Furthermore, taking into account the pupation characteristics of ladybugs, it allows for the centralized collection of pupae, facilitating subsequent trials or production packaging. Compared to traditional breeding containers, using this auxiliary container reduces feeding time. Good ventilation, an independent feed placement area, and a smooth container surface reduce the accumulation of impurities and dirt, lowering the risk of disease transmission and promoting the healthy growth of ladybugs. In addition, the container's durability and ease of cleaning reduce the cost of equipment replacement and maintenance, further improving the economic benefits of breeding.
