Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sandworm breeding equipment, and in particular to a sandworm breeding vehicle that utilizes kitchen waste. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, feed costs typically account for a high proportion of total aquaculture costs. Although factory farming has reduced some costs through intensive and automated management, feed remains one of the major expenditures. Against the backdrop of the increasingly urgent problem of food waste disposal, bioconversion technology has gradually attracted attention due to its unique advantages. Using saprophytic insects to treat organic waste allows for on-site resource recycling, while the insect protein and insect excrement produced can be sold as feed protein for aquaculture and organic fertilizer for planting, thus achieving resource recycling. This provides a solution for using sandworms to treat certain types of food waste.

[0003] Sandworms feed on organic detritus, making them important ecological decomposers and economic food. Combining kitchen waste with sandworm farming achieves resource recycling while reducing farming costs. However, there is currently a lack of effective farming equipment to integrate the two. Furthermore, the commonly used cement farming ponds for sandworms have inherent structural design flaws. Their construction requires significant investment in building materials and manpower, resulting in high initial construction costs. Regular repairs and cleaning also lead to high maintenance costs. In addition, the fixed structure of cement ponds prevents them from flexibly adapting to different site layouts and varying farming scales, limiting the flexibility and scalability of farming. Finally, existing sandworm harvesting techniques are relatively primitive, lacking automated and precise equipment, relying mainly on manual sorting, which is inefficient and prone to misjudgment, failing to meet market demands for both the quality and quantity of sandworms. Therefore, a sandworm farming vehicle utilizing kitchen waste is currently needed. Utility Model Content

When sandworms are harvested, the position of perforated partition plate 26 is moved so that the holes on perforated partition plate 26 are aligned with the holes on perforated plate 30 and the bottom of breeding trough 2, connecting to the inside of breeding vehicle body 1. Then, mud and water flow from breeding trough 2 into mud and sand collection drawer 4, realizing the rapid separation of sandworms and mud. Rollers 29 at the bottom of breeding vehicle body 1 enable free movement of breeding vehicle.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment provides the specific working principle of the sandworm breeding vehicle;

[0043] Working Principle: During the breeding of sandworms, the interior of the breeding unit is divided into upper and lower parts by the protrusions on the perforated partition plate corresponding to the holes on the perforated plate and the bottom of the breeding trough. Before feeding the sandworms, the waste is placed on the sorting platform. The camera module specifically includes a central control module and an image acquisition module. The central control module includes a microcomputer such as a Raspberry Pi, and the image acquisition module includes a camera such as a CSI camera. The microcomputer has a built-in image recognition module, which includes a network model for waste sorting, such as a convolutional neural network model. The microcomputer in the camera module calls the image acquisition module to collect waste image information, and then performs image recognition and determines whether it is waste. Whether the waste is recyclable or not is determined by the display panel, and the final recognition result is shown. During the training phase of the image recognition module, it learns from a massive dataset of images of recyclable waste (such as leftover food, fruit peels, vegetable roots, etc.) and non-recyclable waste (such as food packaging, shells, large bones, etc.) to master the color, shape, texture, and other features of different types of waste. In actual operation, the image recognition module compares the input image data with the trained model, extracts image features, performs classification judgment, and outputs the result of whether the waste is recyclable. The image recognition module is not the focus of this embodiment; any existing model capable of waste recognition can be used, such as a waste classification model based on convolutional neural networks. For example, if it identifies fruit peels or vegetable roots... If the waste is found to be unusable, such as seashells or food packaging, it is classified as reusable waste. If it meets the characteristics of unusable waste, such as being identified as seashells or food packaging, it is classified as unusable waste, and the classification result is output and uploaded to the control console. The control console has a built-in control unit. In this embodiment, the control unit uses an Arduino. The control unit communicates with the central control module in the camera module to obtain the signal corresponding to the waste information and controls the servo motor to operate. The servo motor rocker arm drives the U-shaped part and the classification platform to rotate to perform the classification action. If the waste is unusable, the classification platform rotates counterclockwise around the support rod, and the waste enters the waste collection bin. If the waste is reusable, the classification platform rotates clockwise around the support rod, and the waste enters the waste processor. The waste processor is started by controlling the control console. The waste is crushed, and water is added to the waste processor from the water tank. After crushing, the mixture of waste fragments and water flows into the mixer. The control panel controls the mixing storage bin to add high-protein feed such as fish meal to the mixer to mix with the waste fragments and water. The mixer stirs the mixture. After stirring, the discharge valve automatically opens and discharges the resulting feed mixture. The feed mixture is stored in the feed collection box. Sandworms are fed manually. When harvesting sandworms, the position of the perforated partition plate is moved so that the holes on the perforated partition plate are aligned with the holes on the perforated plate and the bottom of the breeding tank, connecting the inside of the breeding vehicle. Then, mud and water flow from the breeding tank into the mud and sand collection drawer, realizing the rapid separation of sandworms and mud. The rollers at the bottom of the breeding vehicle enable the movement of the breeding vehicle.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
