Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of silkworm breeding, specifically involving large-scale silkworm breeding equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In silkworm rearing, mulberry leaves are the primary food source. In mechanized rearing, mulberry leaves are typically scattered onto the silkworm trays during transport using a feeding device. This means the feeding device scatters leaves at the same location while the trays move continuously, ensuring they are covered with leaves. In practice, the trays are either manually moved under the feeding device or transported via conventional conveyor belts. Regardless of the method, after scattering the leaves, the trays must be moved to a storage location, which is cumbersome. Especially when storage racks are used to reduce floor space, multiple layers of trays are typically placed on them. Moving the trays between different layers requires manual handling, making the operation inconvenient and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a large-scale silkworm breeding equipment to solve the problem that after scattering mulberry leaves, it is still necessary to move the silkworm trays to the storage place, which is quite troublesome.
[0004] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0005] Large-scale silkworm breeding equipment includes a feeding mechanism and breeding mechanisms set on both sides of the feeding mechanism. The breeding mechanism includes a breeding frame, a multi-layer support assembly distributed vertically on the breeding frame, and a silkworm tray mounting frame movably installed on the support assembly. The support assembly includes two layers of support members distributed vertically. The silkworm tray mounting frame is placed on one of the support members on the support assembly, and the projections of the silkworm tray mounting frames on the two sets of breeding frames in the horizontal direction do not overlap.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0007] In this solution, two sets of rearing racks are set up and distributed on both sides of the feeding mechanism. The silkworm trays on one rack can be moved to the other rack after passing through the feeding mechanism. The support assembly includes two layers of support components, allowing the silkworm trays on the two sets of racks to be exchanged and directly stored after mulberry leaves are sprinkled, making operation convenient. Furthermore, placing silkworm trays on both racks improves the utilization rate of the rearing racks.
[0008] Furthermore, the support includes several rollers distributed laterally along the breeding rack, which are rotatably connected to the breeding rack.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the silkworm tray mounting frame is provided with a sliding groove along its length, and the rollers are locked in the sliding groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the spacing between two layers of support members in the same group of support components is less than or equal to the spacing between two adjacent layers of support members in adjacent groups of support components.
[0011] Furthermore, the breeding rack is equipped with a driving component for moving the silkworm tray mounting frame. The driving component includes a gear rotatably connected to the breeding rack and a rack fixed to the silkworm tray mounting frame, and the gear and rack mesh to drive each other.
[0012] Furthermore, the length of the silkworm tray mounting frame is greater than or equal to twice the distance between the two sets of rearing frames.
[0013] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor belt, the discharge direction of which is perpendicular to the length direction of the silkworm tray mounting frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the feeding conveyor belt is in the shape of a quarter circle or a half circle.
[0015] Furthermore, the width of the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt is less than or equal to the width of the silkworm tray mounting frame, and the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt is located directly above the center of the silkworm tray mounting frame in the width direction.
[0016] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a conveyor for feeding the feeding conveyor belt, and the conveyor is inclined. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and specific embodiments will be given.
[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the large-scale silkworm breeding equipment includes a feeding mechanism and breeding mechanisms set on both sides of the feeding mechanism. In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism is used to convey mulberry leaves. A conventional conveying mechanism in the prior art can be selected, as long as the mulberry leaves can be scattered. Of course, manual feeding can also be carried out between the two breeding mechanisms.
[0024] The breeding facility includes a breeding rack 1, a multi-layer support assembly 4 distributed vertically on the breeding rack 1, and a silkworm tray mounting frame 2 movably installed on the support assembly 4. The silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is used to place silkworm trays. In actual design, the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 can be formed by welding existing technologies such as channel steel, as long as the silkworm trays can be placed on it.
[0025] The support components 4 on the two sets of breeding racks 1 correspond one-to-one in the horizontal direction. The support component 4 includes two layers of support members distributed vertically. The silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is placed on one of the support members of the support component 4, and the projections of the silkworm tray mounting frames 2 on the two sets of breeding racks 1 in the horizontal direction do not overlap. In this embodiment, the silkworm tray mounting frames 2 on the left breeding rack 1 are all placed on the upper support member of the support component 4, and the silkworm tray mounting frames 2 on the right breeding rack 1 are all placed on the lower support member of the support component 4 as an example. Then, after the silkworm tray mounting frames 2 on the left breeding rack 1 are moved to the right breeding rack 1, they will not interfere with the original silkworm tray mounting frames 2 on the right breeding rack 1. Then, the silkworm tray mounting frames 2 on the right breeding rack 1 can be moved to the left breeding rack 1.
[0026] The support includes several rollers 3 distributed laterally along the rearing frame 1. The rollers 3 are rotatably connected to the rearing frame 1. The bottom of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 has a groove along its length, and the rollers 3 are engaged in the groove. When the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is moved, the rollers 3 can rotate, reducing the friction force experienced by the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 during movement. In actual operation, the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 can be moved manually or by designing a conventional drive device to drive the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 to move, as long as the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 drives the silkworm trays located on it to pass under the feeding mechanism to complete the feeding.
[0027] In another embodiment of this utility model, the spacing between two layers of support members in the same group of support components 4 is less than or equal to the spacing between two adjacent layers of support members in adjacent groups of support components 4. Since only one layer of silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is placed on the same group of support components 4, the spacing between two layers of support members can be set to be small, as long as the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 does not interfere when moving between the two groups of breeding racks 1. Since the silkworm trays are placed on the breeding racks 1, in order to facilitate manual observation of the silkworm rearing status on the trays, the spacing between two adjacent layers of support members in adjacent groups of support components 4 needs to be designed to facilitate manual observation of the silkworm trays. In this embodiment, by designing the spacing of the support members, the utilization rate of the breeding racks 1 can be improved to a certain extent when the height of the breeding racks 1 is constant.
[0028] In another embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the breeding rack 1 is equipped with a driving component for moving the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. The driving component includes a gear 5 rotatably connected to the breeding rack 1 and a rack fixed to the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. The gear 5 and the rack mesh for transmission. The driving component also includes a motor for driving the gear 5 to rotate. The output shaft of the motor can be directly fixed to the gear 5 or connected to the gear 5 through conventional connection methods in the prior art (e.g., through a coupling, commutator, or reducer). In the actual design process, gears 5 are provided on both sides of the breeding rack 1 to support both sides of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. The gears 5 on both sides are connected by a connecting rod 6 so that the gears 5 on both sides can be driven to rotate together simultaneously. In addition, in this embodiment, all rollers 3 can be replaced with gears 5, that is, the rack is installed in the groove at the bottom of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. Of course, if the rollers 2 are not replaced with gears 5, the installation position of the rack needs to be considered to avoid interference with the rollers 3.
[0029] When manually pushing the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 to move, the frame can be manually supported to prevent it from falling off the rearing frame 1 when its end is suspended in the air. However, in this embodiment, the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is moved by a drive component. When the end of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is suspended in the air and has not yet moved to the rearing frame 1 on the other side, in order to prevent the suspended part of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 from being too long and falling, the length of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is greater than or equal to twice the distance between the two rearing frames 1. Therefore, when the end of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 is suspended in the air, the length of the suspended part will be less than or equal to half the overall length of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. Half or more of the length of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 will also be supported by the rearing frame 1, which can prevent the silkworm tray mounting frame 2 from falling to a certain extent.
[0030] In another embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 4As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor belt 7. The discharge direction of the feeding conveyor belt 7 is perpendicular to the length direction of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. The width of the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 7 is less than or equal to the width of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2, and the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 7 is located directly above the middle of the width direction of the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. This allows the mulberry leaves conveyed on the feeding conveyor belt 7 to fall evenly into the middle of the silkworm tray on the silkworm tray mounting frame 2. As long as the width of the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 7 is designed to match the width of the silkworm tray, the silkworm tray can be covered with mulberry leaves.
[0031] Because the spacing between the two sets of breeding racks 1 is limited, and the discharge direction of the feeding conveyor belt 7 needs to be designed, the operating space at the feeding end of the feeding conveyor belt 7 is limited. Therefore, in this embodiment, the feeding conveyor belt 7 is in the shape of a quarter arc or a half arc. Figure 4 The design (shown as a quarter-circle arc) allows the feed end of the feeding conveyor belt 7 to be offset from the two sets of breeding racks 1, making operation easier. In actual operation, mulberry leaves can be manually fed onto the feeding conveyor belt 7 from its feed end, or existing feeding equipment can be used. For example, the feeding mechanism also includes a conveyor 8 for feeding the feeding conveyor belt 7. The conveyor 8 is inclined to facilitate manual feeding from its lower end, and the mulberry leaves are then transported to the upper feeding conveyor belt 7 via the conveyor 8. The conveyor 8 can be a conventional inclined feeder.
[0032] In the actual design process, the feeding mechanism and the two sets of breeding racks 1 are independent structures, and the spacing between the two sets of breeding racks 1 and the position of the feeding mechanism can be adjusted according to the needs.
