Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological treatment technology, and in particular to a multi-box earthworm breeding device. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale development of animal husbandry, the treatment of livestock manure has become a key challenge in the control of agricultural non-point source pollution. Traditional composting methods have drawbacks such as long cycle, large land area, and odor pollution, while direct return to the field can easily lead to soil salinization and the spread of pathogens.

[0003] Currently, there is a method of raising earthworms, which utilizes their feeding, digestion, and the synergistic effect of intestinal microorganisms to rapidly decompose organic matter in feces into humus, while simultaneously killing parasite eggs and E. coli.

[0004] However, most existing earthworm farming equipment is a single-layer, flat structure, consisting of a single frame. While some use stacked frames, their space utilization and flexibility are generally limited, making them difficult to adapt to different environmental conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-box farming device that increases space utilization through modular stacking, providing a novel technological solution for large-scale biological treatment of livestock manure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of low space utilization in existing technologies by proposing a multi-box earthworm farming device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-box earthworm farming device includes a farming box, the farming box including a box body and a top cover, the four corners of the top of the box body are fixed with connecting rods, and the top cover is fixed to the top of the connecting rods;

[0008] The spray pipe is fixed to the bottom of the top cover, and one end of the connecting pipe is slidably inserted into the spray pipe. Both the spray pipe and the connecting pipe have spray holes on their outer walls.

[0009] The locking mechanism includes a threaded rod, a sliding block, an inclined block, and an insert block. The top cover has an inner cavity. The threaded rod is rotatably disposed in the inner cavity. The sliding block is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod and slides vertically. The inclined block slides horizontally and its inclined surface abuts against the sliding block. The insert block is fixed to the side wall of the inclined block and penetrates the top cover. The other side of the top cover has a slot.

[0010] The rotating threaded rod drives the sliding block to press the inclined block, causing the insert to be inserted into the slot of the adjacent breeding box to lock it in place. At the same time, the inclined block drives the connecting pipe to be inserted into the adjacent spray pipe to achieve connected irrigation.

[0011] In one possible design, a side slider is fixed on one side of the box body, a side sliding groove is opened on the other side, an upper slider is provided on the top of the top cover, and a lower sliding groove is opened on the bottom of the box body.

[0012] In one possible design, the inclined block and the inner cavity sidewall are provided with the same tension spring, and the two ends of the tension spring are connected to the inclined block and the inner cavity sidewall respectively by hooks.

[0013] In one possible design, the bottom of the inclined block is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe through a through hole in the top cover.

[0014] In one possible design, a limiting rod is also included, one end of which is fixed to the side wall of the sliding block. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the top cover, and the other end of the limiting rod slides through the top cover and is inserted into the limiting groove of the adjacent breeding box.

[0015] In one possible design, the box body is a bottomless structure with a metal mesh fixed to its bottom.

[0016] In one possible design, the bottom of the box body and the top of the top cover are vertically stacked by an upper slider and a lower groove.

[0017] In this application, during practical use, when arranged horizontally, the side sliders on the side of the box are inserted into the side sliding grooves of the adjacent box for connection. Then, the threaded rod is rotated, causing the sliding block to move. The sliding block will press against the inclined surface of the inclined block, thereby causing the inclined block to move. The inclined block will then move the insert block, allowing it to be inserted into the slot of the adjacent breeding box, thus fixing it in place. When the inclined block moves, it will also move the connecting pipe at the bottom, allowing one end of the connecting pipe to be inserted into the spray pipe of the adjacent breeding box, thus connecting them. This allows water to be injected from only one end, achieving overall irrigation of the same row. When stacked, ensure that the upper slider of the top cover is inserted into the lower groove of the upper breeding box, and simultaneously ensure that the side sliders are also inserted into the adjacent side sliding grooves, thus achieving assembly.

[0018] In this utility model, the multi-box earthworm breeding equipment can achieve automatic connection of the breeding boxes in the same row after assembly through a connecting pipe, so that water pumps or other water supply equipment only need to be installed at the first or last end to realize the overall irrigation.

[0019] In this utility model, the multi-box earthworm breeding equipment can promote gas exchange and avoid the death of earthworms due to anaerobic environment through metal mesh, while also draining excess water.

[0020] In this invention, the modular breeding boxes can be spliced ​​together, allowing them to be assembled, used, and adjusted according to actual conditions. This facilitates flexible adjustment of the breeding scale based on the site, and the vertically stacked structure effectively increases space utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-2 A breeding device, comprising: a breeding box consisting of a box body 1 and a top cover 3.

[0029] The box body 1 has a bottomless structure, with a metal mesh 10 fixedly installed at the bottom to support the substrate and promote aeration and drainage. Connecting rods 2 are welded to the four corners of the top of the box body 1, and the top cover 3 is fixed to the top of the connecting rods 2 to form an independent breeding unit.

[0030] The top cover 3 has a bracket at the bottom to fix the spray pipe 9. One end of the connecting pipe 8 is slidably inserted into the spray pipe 9, and the other end is used to connect to the spray pipe 9 in the adjacent breeding box. Spray holes are opened on the outer wall of both. The corresponding pipes of the breeding boxes located at the first or last end are connected to the external water pump to realize automatic humidification. The livestock manure is pre-treated and then watered manually or with existing equipment.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The locking mechanism is located within an inner cavity 14 inside the top cover 3. The inner cavity 14 contains a sliding block 15, a beveled block 12, and a rotatably mounted threaded rod 16. The sliding block 15 is threaded onto the outer wall of the threaded rod 16, and one end of the threaded rod 16 rotatably extends through to the outside of the top cover 3 for control. The beveled block 12 is connected to the side wall of the inner cavity 14 via a tension spring 13, and its beveled end contacts the sliding block 15. An insert 11 is welded to the outside of the beveled block 12, and one end of the insert 11 extends through to the outside of the top cover 3. A corresponding slot 19 is provided on the other side of the top cover 3.

[0032] The bottom of the top cover 3 has a through hole that communicates with the inner cavity 14, and the inclined block 12 is fixedly installed with the connecting pipe 8 through the through hole.

[0033] For the stacking connection of breeding boxes, a side slider 5 is provided on one side of the box body 1, and a side sliding groove 7 is provided on the other side; a lower sliding groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1, and an upper slider 4 is provided at the top of the top cover 3. The connection is achieved by inserting the corresponding slider into the corresponding sliding groove.

[0034] Specifically, when arranged horizontally, the side slider 5 on the side of box body 1 is inserted into the side sliding groove 7 on the side of the adjacent box body 1 for connection. Then, the threaded rod 16 is rotated, and the threaded rod 16 drives the sliding block 15 to move. The sliding block 15 will squeeze the inclined surface of the inclined block 12, thereby driving the inclined block 12 to move. The inclined block 12 will drive the insert block 11 to move, so that it is inserted into the slot 19 of the adjacent breeding box, thereby fixing it. When the inclined block 12 moves, it will drive the bottom connecting pipe 8 to move, so that one end of the connecting pipe 8 is inserted into the spray pipe 9 of the adjacent breeding box, thereby connecting them. So that water can be injected from one end to achieve overall irrigation of the same row.

[0035] When stacking, ensure that the upper slider 4 on the top of the top cover 3 is inserted into the lower groove 6 of the upper breeding box, and at the same time ensure that the side slider 5 is also inserted into the adjacent side groove 7 to achieve its assembly.

[0036] When a problem is found with the earthworms inside one of the breeding boxes and it is necessary to remove it, simply rotate the threaded rod 16 of the breeding box and the adjacent breeding box in the opposite direction. This will cause the threaded rod 16 to drive the sliding block 15 to reset, and the inclined block 12 to reset through the tension spring 13. This will disengage the insert 11 from the adjacent slot 19, thereby releasing the breeding box from its fixation and allowing it to be removed for inspection.

[0037] This application can be used in the field of biological treatment, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] refer to Figure 3 Based on the first embodiment, an improvement is made: a multi-box earthworm breeding device, which is applied to the field of biological treatment. The locking mechanism also includes a limiting rod 17. One end of the limiting rod 17 is fixedly set to one side of the sliding block 15, and the other end of the limiting rod 17 slides through to the outside of the top cover 3. A limiting groove 18 is opened on one side of the top cover 3.

[0040] Specifically, for the double-row arrangement, the two rows of breeding boxes are back-to-back, so that when the threaded rod 16 is rotated to move the sliding block 15, it will cause the limiting rod 17 on one side to insert into the limiting groove 18 of the opposite breeding box, thereby connecting and positioning to ensure neat assembly. (See attached diagram.) Figure 4 .

[0041] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0042] 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.
