A hanging rail is provided at the bottom of the top of the rearing box; several ventilation openings are provided on the bottom and front and rear side walls of the hanging rail, and a thermometer and hygrometer are placed inside the hanging rail. The above-mentioned patent has the following shortcomings: In the current tick breeding process, tick excrement falls onto the bottom wall of the breeding box. The tick excrement contains a certain amount of moisture, and the accumulation will increase the humidity in the breeding box. Excessive humidity can easily lead to the proliferation of fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms. If these excrement are not cleaned in time, these microorganisms may infect the ticks, causing them to get sick or even die. However, most of the existing cleaning methods are manual cleaning, which requires opening the breeding box for cleaning, which greatly affects the tick breeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that the excrement produced during tick farming cannot be automatically cleaned in a timely manner, thus affecting the growth progress of ticks, and to propose a tick farming device.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-7 A tick breeding device includes a breeding box 1 and a ventilation mesh 2 opened on one side of the breeding box 1. A feeding platform 3 is fixedly installed inside the breeding box 1. It also includes a collection trough 4 slidably connected to the inner wall of the breeding box 1. A screw 5 is rotatably connected inside the breeding box 1. A movable plate 6 is threadedly connected to the screw 5. An arc-shaped scraper 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 6. Guide rods 8 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the breeding box 1. By rotating the screw 5, the movable plate 6 can slide horizontally on the screw 5 under the guidance of the guide rods 8. This will drive the arc-shaped scraper 7 to slide along the bottom wall of the breeding box 1, scraping the tick excrement on the bottom wall of the breeding box 1 into the collection trough 4. This helps maintain the health of the ticks and provides them with a healthy living environment during the breeding process.

[0029] A groove is provided on the bottom wall of the breeding box 1, and the collection trough 4 is slidably connected in the groove of the breeding box 1. A handle 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the collection trough 4. By pulling the handle 9 outward, the collection trough 4 can be pulled out of the breeding box 1 to clean the tick excrement.

[0030] A mounting plate 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the breeding box 1. A geared motor 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 10. The output end of the geared motor 11 extends into the breeding box 1 and is fixedly connected to the screw 5. By starting the geared motor 11, the screw 5 can be driven to rotate slowly, so that the arc-shaped scraper 7 can slowly scrape the tick excrement on the bottom wall of the breeding box 1. Then, by turning the geared motor 11 in the opposite direction, the arc-shaped scraper 7 can slide back to its original position.

[0031] A rectangular window is provided on one side of the breeding box 1. A transparent sliding door 12 is slidably connected inside the rectangular window of the breeding box 1. A control panel 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the breeding box 1. By sliding the transparent sliding door 12, researchers can perform daily operations such as feeding and cleaning without opening the lid of the breeding box 1, reducing the contact between the environment inside the breeding box 1 and the outside world and maintaining environmental stability. The switch buttons on the control panel 13 can control the geared motor 11 and other equipment inside the breeding box 1.

[0032] A fixed rod 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the breeding box 1. A push plate 15 is connected to the fixed rod 14. A spring 16 is sleeved on the fixed rod 14. The two ends of the spring 16 are fixedly connected to the breeding box 1 and the push plate 15 respectively. When the push plate 15 is pushed, it will slide horizontally on the fixed rod 14, and at the same time, the spring 16 will be compressed. When the push plate 15 is not subjected to external force, the spring 16 can make the push plate 15 automatically return to its original position.

[0033] One end of the push plate 15 is hinged to an inclined plate 17, and the end of the inclined plate 17 away from the push plate 15 is hinged to a first brush plate 18. A first connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the first brush plate 18, and a second brush plate 20 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 19. When the push plate 15 is pushed, the inclined plate 17 will rotate due to the hinge relationship with it, which will push the first brush plate 18 to slide on the ventilation mesh 2 on the inner wall of the breeding box 1. The first brush plate 18 drives the second brush plate 20 to slide through the first connecting plate 19, which can brush off dust, tick excrement and other impurities on the ventilation mesh 2 inside the breeding box 1, so as to maintain normal air circulation in the breeding box 1 and improve the air quality inside the breeding box 1.

[0034] A U-shaped plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the first brush plate 18. A third brush plate 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped plate 21 away from the first brush plate 18. A second connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the third brush plate 22. A fourth brush plate 24 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 23. When the first brush plate 18 slides, it will slide under the guidance of the U-shaped plate 21, which will drive the third brush plate 22 and the fourth brush plate 24 to slide together, cleaning the impurities on the ventilation mesh 2 outside the breeding box 1.

[0035] The breeding box 1 has sliding holes corresponding to the U-shaped plate 21. The top of the breeding box 1 is equipped with a sealed box cover 25. The sliding holes on the breeding box 1 can guide the U-shaped plate 21 to slide. It should be noted that the sliding holes on the breeding box 1 are small and will not cause ticks to fly out.

[0036] Reference Figure 8A water bucket 26 is fixedly installed on the top of the breeding box 1. A sponge strip 27 is placed inside the water bucket 26, with one end of the sponge strip 27 extending into the breeding box 1. A water inlet pipe 28 is fixedly connected to the water bucket 26. The water in the water bucket 26 can enter the breeding box 1 through the principle of capillary siphon to maintain the humidity inside the breeding box 1. It should be noted that the breeding box 1 has a transparent shell for easy observation, and the interior is a constant temperature and humidity environment. The feeding table 3 contains blood with anticoagulant to facilitate the ticks' feeding. The water in the water bucket 26 can be replenished in a timely manner through the water inlet pipe 28.

[0037] In this invention, during use, the operator opens the sealed box cover 25, adds blood for feeding ticks to the feeding platform 3, then installs the collection trough 4, places the ticks to be cultured into the culture box 1, and then closes the sealed box cover 25. The tick culture can be observed at any time through the transparent sliding door 12. When tick excrement needs to be cleaned, the operator simply starts the reduction motor 11 to drive the screw 5 to rotate slowly. Guided by the guide rod 8, the moving plate 6 drives the arc-shaped scraper 7 to slide stably on the bottom wall of the culture box 1, scraping the tick excrement on the bottom wall of the culture box 1 into the collection trough 4. Collecting the tick excrement in a timely manner can effectively reduce the probability of pathogen transmission, protect the health of the tick population, and help ticks survive in a more comfortable environment. When the movable plate 6 is about to slide to the collection trough 4, it will automatically abut against the push plate 15, causing the push plate 15 to slide on the fixed rod 14 and compressing the spring 16. When the push plate 15 is pushed, the inclined plate 17 pushes the first brush plate 18 to slide. Then, through the first connecting plate 19, the U-shaped plate 21 and the second connecting plate 23, the brushes on both sides of the ventilation mesh 2 are driven to brush at the same time. This can brush away tick excrement, dust and other impurities on the ventilation mesh 2 of the breeding box 1. It can not only automatically handle tick excrement, but also automatically remove dust, excrement and other impurities on the ventilation mesh 2 of the breeding box 1. This helps the air in the breeding box 1 to exchange normally with the outside air, providing sufficient oxygen for the ticks and promoting their growth and reproduction. No manual handling is required, reducing manual operation.

[0038] 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.
