Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrialized silkworm rearing and relates to silkworm rearing equipment, especially a combined silkworm basket for industrialized silkworm rearing. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional silkworm rearing methods are small-scale family-run operations, typically using small bamboo baskets. These baskets are simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and can be hand-woven, resulting in low costs. This small-scale rearing method is entirely manual, requiring manual operation from egg to adult to cocoon harvesting. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has very low efficiency. Furthermore, it is limited by climate conditions, allowing silkworm rearing only during specific seasons. The annual cocoon production is extremely low, far from meeting the needs of modern society, and has been gradually phased out.

[0003] To compensate for the shortcomings of traditional workshop-style silkworm rearing, large-scale and factory-style silkworm rearing technology has emerged. In large-scale breeding technology, new requirements have been put forward for breeding equipment. Traditional breeding equipment has the disadvantages of limited variety, overly simple structure, and poor functionality, and can no longer meet and adapt to the requirements of factory-style breeding. It is necessary to improve and optimize traditional breeding equipment.

[0004] Silkworm baskets play a crucial role in factory-style silkworm rearing, providing an environment for silkworm growth and facilitating transportation. Existing silkworm baskets are mostly single-unit structures, used individually for each silkworm instar, and have the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. During the silkworm rearing process, silkworm excrement and leftover feed residue remain in the silkworm basket, leading to bacterial growth, polluting the silkworm rearing environment, and thus affecting the silkworm rearing effect.

[0006] 2. The limited height of single-unit silkworm baskets makes it difficult to accommodate multiple shelves and cocoon cages, which seriously affects silkworm rearing and cocoon production during the fifth instar and cocooning stages. If the height of the silkworm baskets is increased to solve the above problems, there will be problems such as low structural strength, easy deformation, and extreme inconvenience in deep basket operations and assembly line operation.

[0007] 3. Single-unit silkworm baskets make it difficult to control the gap between the multi-layer shelves and the cocoon cage, affecting the silkworm rearing and cocooning results. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular silkworm basket for factory-scale silkworm rearing. Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, this design incorporates an upper, middle, and lower silkworm basket that can be combined to form a modular silkworm basket for use in conjunction with other components. The lower basket can collect silkworm excrement and feed residue, which can be removed after use to prevent bacterial growth and maintain a healthy silkworm rearing environment, thus promoting healthy silkworm growth and cocoon formation. Furthermore, this modular silkworm basket can accommodate multiple shelves and cocoon cages, with controlled spacing between them, making it suitable for the fifth instar and cocooning stages.

[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0010] A modular silkworm basket for factory-scale silkworm rearing is characterized by comprising an upper layer basket, a middle layer basket, and a lower layer basket, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom to form the silkworm basket.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the upper, middle, and lower silkworm baskets is provided with a limiting component, and the lower end of the upper, middle, and lower silkworm baskets is provided with a limiting groove, with the limiting component and the limiting groove matching each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower silkworm basket includes a first basket body and a first basket bottom, and the first basket body is provided with a first ventilation hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the first basket is equipped with a support plate, which is used to support the middle layer of silkworm baskets.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the first basket is equipped with a positioning clip, which is used to limit the placement of the equipment into the lower silkworm basket.

[0015] Furthermore, the middle layer of the silkworm basket includes a second basket body and a second basket bottom. The second basket bottom is a mesh board, and the second basket body is provided with a second ventilation hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the mesh panel is equipped with support and positioning plates, which are used to support and position the implements placed in the middle layer of the silkworm basket.

[0017] Furthermore, the mesh panel is equipped with positioning brackets, which are used to limit the placement of the equipment into the middle layer of the silkworm basket.

[0018] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the upper ring basket are connected, and the upper ring basket is provided with a third ventilation hole.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper basket is provided with a support and positioning component, which supports and positions the device placed in the upper basket; the support and positioning component includes a first support and positioning component and a second support and positioning component.

[0020] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This utility model of a combined silkworm basket consists of an upper layer basket, a middle layer basket, and a lower layer basket. When used together, the lower layer basket can collect silkworm excrement and feed residue. This residue can be removed after replacement to prevent bacterial growth and maintain a good silkworm rearing environment, which helps silkworms grow healthily and spin cocoons.

[0022] This modular silkworm basket can accommodate multiple shelves and cocoon cages, and the spacing between them can be controlled to facilitate ventilation and silkworm climbing to spin cocoons. It is suitable for the fifth instar and cocooning stages. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0035] This utility model aims to provide a modular silkworm basket for factory-scale silkworm rearing. It is designed with an upper, middle, and lower silkworm basket that can be combined to form a modular silkworm basket for use in combination. The lower silkworm basket can collect silkworm excrement and feed residue, which can be removed after replacement to prevent bacterial growth and maintain a good silkworm rearing environment, thus promoting healthy silkworm growth and cocoon spinning. Furthermore, this modular silkworm basket can accommodate multiple shelves and cocoon cages, and the spacing between them can be controlled, making it suitable for the fifth instar and cocooning stages. The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0036] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the combined silkworm basket includes an upper basket 1, a middle basket 2, and a lower basket 3. The upper basket 1, middle basket 2, and lower basket 3 are arranged from top to bottom to form the silkworm basket. It is suitable for raising silkworms in the fifth instar and cocooning stages. A shelf containing fourth instar silkworms is placed in the lower basket 3, and a shelf containing fifth instar silkworms is placed in the middle basket 2. Multiple cocoon cages are then placed on top of the fifth instar shelves. During the rearing process, the silkworms on the fourth instar shelves gradually climb up to the fifth instar shelves, feed, and grow. When they reach the cocooning stage, they climb up to the cocoon cages to spin cocoons. This combined silkworm basket solves the problem of existing silkworm baskets being unable to accommodate multiple sets of equipment, allowing for the orderly placement of multiple sets of equipment. It is suitable for the fifth instar and cocooning stages of silkworms. The lower silkworm basket 3 can collect fallen silkworm excrement and feed residue. It can be replaced after a period of time. After replacement, this residue can be removed to prevent bacterial growth and maintain a good silkworm rearing environment, which helps the silkworms grow healthily and spin cocoons.

[0037] like Figure 8As shown, the lower silkworm basket 3 includes a first basket body 36 and a first basket bottom 37. The first basket body 36 is provided with a first ventilation hole 31, which has the functions of air inlet and air outlet, ensuring good air circulation inside the lower silkworm basket 3 and providing a good breeding environment and air conditions for silkworms. The width of the first ventilation hole 31 is in the range of 1-30mm, which can allow for a suitable airflow, and at this spacing, it can prevent silkworms from crawling out of the lower silkworm basket 3. The first ventilation hole 31 of this utility model is strip-shaped, but it can also be circular, polygonal, or other irregular shapes.

[0038] The first basket body 36 is also provided with a first reinforcing plate 35, which is used to strengthen the structure of the lower silkworm basket 3. The first reinforcing plate 35 is arranged vertically to separate the first ventilation hole 31.

[0039] The upper end of the first basket 36 is also provided with a first protrusion 34. After the middle silkworm basket 2 is placed, a through hole is formed between the lower silkworm basket 3 and the middle silkworm basket 2, which can also achieve the purpose of ventilation.

[0040] The bottom 37 of the first basket is equipped with a support plate 32 and a positioning clip 33. The support plate 32 is located in the middle position to support the bottom center of the middle layer silkworm basket 2. The support plate 32 provides particularly effective support for the middle layer silkworm basket 2 after the lower layer silkworm basket 3 is replaced. The positioning clip 33 is used to limit the 4-year-old silkworm shelf placed in the lower layer silkworm basket 3. It is set at the four corners to limit the four corner positions of the 4-year-old silkworm shelf and improve its stability. The positioning clip 33 includes a support rod 331 and an L-shaped clip 332. The support rod 331 is used to connect the L-shaped clip 332, and the slot of the L-shaped clip 332 can lock the corner of the 4-year-old silkworm shelf.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the middle-layer silkworm basket 2 includes a second basket body 26 and a second basket bottom 22. The second basket body 26 is provided with a second ventilation hole 21, which has the functions of air inlet and air outlet. The air circulation inside the middle-layer silkworm basket 2 is good, providing a good breeding environment and air conditions for silkworms. The width of the second ventilation hole 21 is in the range of 1-30mm, which can allow for a suitable air volume to pass through, and at this spacing, it can prevent silkworms from crawling out of the middle-layer silkworm basket 2. The second ventilation hole 21 of this utility model is strip-shaped, but it can also be circular, polygonal, or other irregular shapes.

[0042] The second basket 26 is also provided with a second reinforcing plate 24, which is used to strengthen the structure of the middle layer silkworm basket 2. The second reinforcing plate 24 is arranged vertically to separate the second ventilation hole 21.

[0043] The upper end of the second basket 26 is also provided with a second protrusion 25. After the upper basket 1 is placed, a through hole is formed between the middle basket 2 and the upper basket 1, which can also achieve the purpose of ventilation.

[0044] The bottom 22 of the second basket is a mesh panel with several mesh holes, allowing silkworms to climb from the 4th instar shelf of the lower basket 3 to the 5th instar shelf of the middle basket 2. The bottom 22 of the second basket is equipped with support and positioning plates 23 and positioning brackets 28. The support and positioning plates 23 are used to support and position the 5th instar shelves placed in the middle basket 2. These support and positioning plates 23 are arranged in five rows, with six plates in each row. The positioning brackets 28 are used to limit the 5th instar shelves placed in the middle basket 2. Four of these brackets are located at the five corners of the middle basket 2, with a shape that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, effectively securing the four corners of the 5th instar shelves and improving their stability.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the upper basket 1 does not have a bottom structure; its top and bottom are connected vertically. The upper basket 1 has a third ventilation hole 11, which functions as both air inlet and outlet, ensuring good air circulation within the upper basket 1 and providing a good breeding environment and air conditions for silkworms to spin cocoons. The width of the third ventilation hole 11 is in the range of 1-30mm, allowing for a suitable airflow, and within this spacing, it prevents silkworms from crawling out of the upper basket 1. The third ventilation hole 11 of this invention is strip-shaped; however, it can also be circular, polygonal, or other irregular shapes.

[0046] The upper ring basket 1 is also provided with a third reinforcing plate 14, which is used to strengthen the structure of the upper ring basket 1. The third reinforcing plate 14 includes three types: one type is set vertically to separate the third ventilation hole 11; the second type is set horizontally to surround the upper ring basket 1; and the third type is set diagonally. Since the ring basket does not have a bottom and is relatively high, multiple third reinforcing plates 14 are provided to enhance its structural strength.

[0047] The bottom of the upper basket 1 is provided with a pad frame 15, which is concave and can be inserted into the middle basket 2. The pad frame 15 is also provided with a third ventilation hole 11. The inner side of the pad frame 15 is provided with a support and positioning component, which is used to support and position the cocoon cages placed in the upper basket 1. The support and positioning component includes a first support and positioning component 12 and a second support and positioning component 13. The first support and positioning component 12 is located on the short side of the pad frame 15, and the second support and positioning component 13 is located on the long side of the pad frame 15. The second support and positioning component 13 is higher than the first support and positioning component 12, which can support and position multiple layers of cocoon cages. One or more of the first support and positioning components 12 are provided with hooks 17, which can hook the cocoon cages and improve their placement stability. One or more of the second support and positioning components 13 are provided with hooks 17, which can hook the cocoon cages and improve their placement stability.

[0048] The upper part of the upper basket 1 is also provided with a third protrusion 16, which forms a through hole after multiple combined silkworm baskets are stacked, thus achieving the purpose of ventilation.

[0049] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the upper layer basket 1, the middle layer silkworm basket 2, and the lower layer silkworm basket 3 are all provided with limiting members 4 at their upper ends. The limiting members 4 are L-shaped. The lower ends of the upper layer basket 1, the middle layer silkworm basket 2, and the lower layer silkworm basket 3 are all provided with limiting grooves 5. The limiting grooves 5 and the limiting members 4 match each other. That is, the limiting member 4 of the lower layer silkworm basket 3 can be inserted into the limiting groove 5 of the middle layer silkworm basket 2, the limiting member 4 of the middle layer silkworm basket 2 can be inserted into the limiting groove 5 of the upper layer basket 1, and the limiting member 4 of the upper layer basket 1 can be inserted into the limiting groove 5 of the lower layer silkworm basket 3. The three can be stacked together arbitrarily.

[0050] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
