Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of factory-scale silkworm rearing and relates to a shelf for a factory-scale silkworm rearing logistics line. 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 seasonal conditions, allowing silkworms to be raised only at specific times, resulting in extremely low annual cocoon production. This method cannot meet 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] Shelves play a crucial role in factory-scale silkworm rearing, providing an environment for silkworm growth and facilitating the transfer of silkworms at various stages. However, in practical use, previously developed shelves have been found to have the following defects: lack of bottom support, insufficient bottom support leading to poor stability, and difficulty in precisely controlling the spacing between upper and lower shelves, affecting silkworm activity, especially after the shelves deform with prolonged use. Furthermore, during silkworm transfer and climbing, due to the lack of a protective structure on the shelves, a small number of silkworms may climb out. These silkworms may die because they cannot feed in time, or they may be left behind and disposed of as waste because they are not transferred with the shelves. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silkworm rearing shelf. Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, a supporting and protective frame is incorporated into the shelf. This frame is located at the bottom of the shelf and surrounds it, providing sufficient bottom support so that the shelf can be stably placed on the silkworm basket or overlaid on the shelf for the previous instar silkworm stage. It also maintains a fixed gap between the frame and the previous instar shelf, making it largely unaffected by shelf deformation. Furthermore, this supporting and protective frame also protects the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the previous instar shelf, allowing all silkworms to climb directionally to the top of the shelf and feed promptly.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0007] A silkworm rearing shelf includes a mesh panel, characterized in that it includes a support and enclosure frame disposed at the bottom of the shelf, the support and enclosure frame being used to support the shelf and protect the silkworms inside.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting enclosure includes supporting edges for supporting the shelf and enclosing it to form a supporting enclosure frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the mesh panel is equipped with a robotic gripper, which is used to grip the shelf.

[0010] Furthermore, the robotic arm gripper is provided with gripping holes, and the robotic arm gripper and gripping holes are matched with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the robotic arm gripper is equipped with support legs at the bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, the mesh plate is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the mesh panel has protrusions.

[0014] Furthermore, the boss has a positioning hole inside, and the boss matches the positioning hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the shelf also includes a shelf edge, with a wire mesh panel connected to the inner side of the shelf edge, and a supporting enclosure frame connected to the bottom of the shelf edge.

[0016] Furthermore, the edges of the board curve upwards at an angle.

[0017] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model provides a support and protective frame for the shelf, which is set at the bottom of the shelf and surrounds it, providing sufficient bottom support for the shelf so that it can be stably placed on the silkworm basket, covering the shelf of the previous instar, and creating a fixed gap between the frame and the shelf of the previous instar, and is basically unaffected by shelf deformation.

[0019] This support and enclosure frame is formed by supporting edges, which provides better support stability compared to the previous scattered bottom support structure of the shelves. The gap between the frame and the previous instar shelf is more stable, and the structural strength of the shelf is increased, making it less prone to deformation. Furthermore, the enclosed support and enclosure frame effectively protects the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the previous instar shelf, allowing all silkworms to climb to the top of the shelf and feed promptly.

[0029] This utility model aims to provide a silkworm rearing shelf with a supporting and protective frame. This frame is located at the bottom of the shelf and surrounds it, providing sufficient bottom support so that the shelf can be stably placed on the silkworm basket, covering the shelf for the previous instar silkworm stage, and maintaining a fixed gap between the frame and the previous instar silkworm stage shelf, thus being largely unaffected by shelf deformation. Furthermore, this supporting and protective frame also serves to protect the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the previous instar silkworm stage shelf, allowing all silkworms to climb to the top of the shelf and feed promptly. The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this shelf is used in automated silkworm rearing across all instars. During the rearing process, it is placed over the shelf for the previous instar and feed is placed on its surface. As the rearing time progresses, silkworms gradually climb from the previous instar shelf to the shelf above this one, consuming the feed. After a period of nurturing, the silkworms grow to the next instar. Once the silkworms reach the next instar, a shelf for the next instar is placed on top of this shelf, and the silkworms gradually climb from that shelf to the shelf above this one, consuming the feed. After a period of nurturing, the silkworms grow to the next instar. This shelf facilitates the transfer and rearing of silkworms, achieving automated instar-based rearing.

[0031] The shelf includes a mesh panel 1 and a side panel 2. The mesh panel 1 is rectangular and is circumferentially connected to the side panel 2. The side panel 2 surrounds the mesh panel 1, reinforcing its structure. The side panel 2 curves upwards from the inside out, acting as a enclosure to prevent silkworms from crawling out of the shelf, thus helping to reduce silkworm mortality and increase cocooning rate. The mesh panel 1 has mesh holes, the size of which is designed according to the size of the silkworms at the corresponding instar. Silkworms can climb from the lower shelf of the previous instar through the mesh holes to the upper shelf.

[0032] The front of the mesh panel 1 is equipped with robotic grippers 3, arranged in five rows, with each row containing six grippers 3. These grippers 3 are used by a mechanical gripping device to grasp and move the shelf in a specific direction. Multiple grippers 3 increase the number of gripping points, ensuring the stability of the gripping process. Figure 6 As shown, the robotic gripper 3 is arched for easy gripping. To secure the robotic gripper 3, a handle base 31 is provided on the mesh plate 1. The handle base 31 has a gripping hole 32. The robotic gripper 3 is fixed to the handle base 31 and positioned above the gripping hole 32, allowing it to pass through. This facilitates the stacking of shelves, providing positioning and limiting for the stacked shelves, and making them easy to move. The bottom of the robotic gripper 3 has a support leg 33 located on the bottom surface of the mesh plate 1, providing support and increasing the connection area between the robotic gripper 3 and the handle base 31, thus improving the connection strength.

[0033] The mesh panel 1 has four first through holes 5. The arrangement of these four first through holes 5 is determined according to the position of the robotic gripper of the previous shelf. When the shelf is covered by the previous shelf, the robotic gripper of the previous shelf can pass through the first through hole 5, which plays a role in positioning and limiting the cover, restricting the forward, backward and left and right movement of the upper and lower shelves, and at the same time preventing the robotic gripper 3 from affecting the supporting role of the enclosure frame and the gap control role.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mesh plate 1 is also provided with a boss 4. The boss 4 is a conical structure with a larger bottom and a smaller top. The boss 4 has a through positioning hole 41. The positioning hole 41 is stepped, including a small hole at the top and a large hole at the bottom. The boss 4 can be inserted into the large hole of the positioning hole 41. When the shelves are stacked, the boss 4 of the lower shelf is inserted into the large hole of the positioning hole 41 of the upper shelf, which plays a role in positioning and suspension. The positioning role is reflected in restricting the movement of the upper and lower shelves in the front, back, left and right. The suspension role is reflected in ensuring that there is a gap between the upper and lower shelves, so as to achieve the purpose of sequentially picking up the stacked single shelves and preventing the lower shelf from being grabbed or pulled out.

[0035] The mesh panel 1 is also provided with four second through holes 6. The arrangement of these four second through holes 6 is determined according to the setting position of the boss 4 of the previous shelf, and is used to avoid the boss 4 of the previous shelf.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the shelf is also equipped with a supporting enclosure frame 7. This supporting enclosure frame 7 is located below the shelf edge 2 and, like the shelf edge 2, is arranged in a ring around it. It is used to support the shelf so that it can be stably placed on the silkworm basket or covered on the shelf of the previous instar. The supporting enclosure frame 7 is composed of four supporting edges 71, the length of which is approximately equal to the length and width of the shelf, thus providing a large support range and strong support stability. Compared with existing shelves, this utility model provides sufficient bottom support for the shelf by setting this supporting enclosure frame 7, allowing it to be stably placed on the silkworm basket and covered on the shelf of the previous instar, and creating a fixed gap between the shelf and the shelf of the previous instar, which is basically unaffected by shelf deformation. In addition, the enclosed supporting enclosure frame 7 plays a role in protecting the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the shelf of the previous instar, so that all silkworms can climb to the top of the shelf and eat in time.

[0037] remove Figure 2 In addition to the supporting enclosure frame 7 of the shape and size shown, it can also be a rectangular frame of larger or smaller size, a triangular frame of any size, other polygonal frames of any size, and irregularly shaped frames of any size, all of which are covered within the protection scope of this application.

[0038] 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.
