Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of insect rearing equipment, specifically a rearing box suitable for raising flat-horned bean bladders. Background Technology

[0002] Carob blister beetles are characterized by complex metamorphosis, parasitic larvae, and gregarious adults, and are rich in cantharidin. In recent years, researchers have conducted in-depth studies on the anticancer activity of cantharidin and its derivatives, discovering that cantharidin has a significant inhibitory effect on various cancers, thus possessing important medicinal value. Furthermore, the larvae primarily feed on locust eggs or parasitize beehives, making them an important biological control insect for locusts.

[0003] Four different sizes and shapes of rearing boxes were used to raise blister bean larvae at different instars. First-instar larvae require ample water, and traditional rearing techniques necessitate daily manual dripping to maintain humidity. Due to their cannibalistic behavior, larvae should be reared individually. Adult blister bean larvae are larger and require more space, necessitating different sizes and shapes of rearing boxes for each instar. Currently, there is no universally applicable device for raising blister bean larvae at all instars.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an insect rearing box suitable for raising flat-eyed bean bladders to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breeding box that can raise flat-bean blister beetles at different ages.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A rearing box suitable for raising flat-eyed bean blister beetles includes a box body, layered panels, partitions, and a lid. The lid has ventilation holes at its four ends. A retaining bar is located on one side of the layered panel near the box body, and a rectangular hole is located on one side of the box body. The retaining bar engages with the rectangular hole to connect the layered panel near the box body to the box body. Sealing caps are located at the four ends of the layered panel. The box panel is fixedly connected to one side of the layered panel near the lid. All parts of the rearing box are made of high-transparency PP material.

[0008] Specifically, a partition plate is installed on the layered board inside the box. The partition plate divides the insect raising box into multiple separate areas. The partition plate is composed of horizontal and vertical plates, which are interlocked to form multiple rectangular spaces. The height of the partition plate is lower than that of the layered board and the box lid.

[0009] Specifically, the layered panels and partitions inside the box can be freely disassembled.

[0010] Specifically, this application can change the number of box space structures by modifying the number of layered panels and partitions.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This application applies to a universal rearing box for blister bean larvae at different ages. It includes a box body and a partition panel inside the box that divides the rearing box into three smaller spaces. Further partition panels on the partition panel separate individual larval areas. The multi-layered design maximizes space utilization and facilitates management and observation of the blister bean larvae. A detachable panel on one side of the box connects to the partition panel and can be pulled out for cleaning. The top is a lid to prevent the blister bean larvae from escaping. Ventilation holes are located at the four corners of the lid to allow air circulation within the rearing box, solving the problem of the cumbersome operation of existing rearing boxes of different sizes and shapes used for raising blister bean larvae at different ages.

[0013] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an insect rearing box suitable for raising flat-horned bean bladders, as shown in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a breeding box suitable for raising flat-angled bean blister beetles, including a box body 1, a layered board 2, a partition board 3, and a box lid 4; the box lid 4 has ventilation holes 6 at its four ends, a retaining bar 7 is provided on one side of the layered board 2 near the box body 1, and a rectangular hole 8 is provided on one side of the box body 1; the retaining bar 7 cooperates with the rectangular hole 8 to connect the layered board 2 near the box body 1 to the box body 1, and the four ends of the layered board 2 are provided with sealing caps 9 to prevent escape when raising one-year-old flat-angled bean blister beetles, and the box plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the layered board 2 near the box lid 4. The breeding box is made of high-transparency PP material.

[0021] Specifically, the lowest rearing area inside box 1 can be used as a water storage container. When the eggs hatch into first-instar larvae, thin, absorbent cotton can be passed through the ventilation holes of the layered plate 2 to provide sufficient water for the first-instar larvae, thus improving their survival rate. At this time, the partition plate 3 can be removed to expand the activity space for the first-instar larvae.

[0022] Specifically, a partition plate 3 is installed on the layered board 2 inside the box body 1. The partition plate 3 divides the insect rearing box into multiple separate areas for the management of flat-horned bean bladders. The partition plate 3 is composed of horizontal and vertical plates, which are interlocked to form multiple rectangular spaces. The size of the spaces can be reasonably adjusted according to the needs. At the same time, the height of the partition plate 3 is lower than that of the layered board 2 and the box cover 4, which facilitates the air circulation inside the insect rearing box.

[0023] Specifically, the layered board 2 and the partition board 3 inside the box 1 can be freely disassembled. During the adult stage, it is not necessary to raise them individually. By disassembling the layered board 2 and the partition board 3, a spacious rearing environment can be provided for the flat-horned bean blister beetle to meet the requirements of group rearing.

[0024] Specifically, this application can change the amount of space in the box by increasing or decreasing the number of layered plates 2 and partition plates 3, so as to raise different ages of flat-horned bean blister beetles in the same insect rearing box.

[0025] The following is the usage method of the insect rearing box applicable to different instars of the flat-eyed bean blister beetle, as used in this embodiment: Egg masses are placed inside the box for hatching into the first instar. At this stage, no dividers are needed; the bottom rearing space serves as a water container. Thin, absorbent cotton is threaded through the ventilation holes in the dividers to provide ample water for the first instar larvae, improving survival rates. Since larvae exhibit cannibalistic behavior, only one larva is reared in each divider for easy counting and observation. For the adult stage, group rearing is used. The dividers and separate layers inside the box are removed to expand the rearing space. The insect rearing box should be placed in an artificial climate chamber or artificial climate room to control the growth environment and avoid disrupting the larvae's growth environment. The insect rearing boxes are made of high-transparency PP material for easy observation of growth.

[0026] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
