Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silkworm breeding equipment technology, specifically to an automatically rotating grid cluster device. Background Technology

[0002] In sericulture, the square cocoon is a crucial tool for silkworms to spin silk and form cocoons. With the increasing scale and modernization of sericulture, the limitations of traditional square cocoons have become increasingly apparent, negatively impacting cocoon quality and sericulture efficiency.

[0003] From a structural design perspective, traditional square-grid silkworm rearing systems are mostly rectangular in shape with a single, fixed specification, such as those commonly made of cardboard. Furthermore, their limited perforation makes them difficult to adapt to the diverse needs of different rearing environments and silkworm varieties. This fixed structure results in poor flexibility in practical use, making it impossible to adjust them according to the silkworm's growth characteristics and behavioral habits.

[0004] During use, silkworms have an instinctive tendency to climb upwards to find a place to spin silk. When using conventional square clusters, a large number of silkworms tend to gather at the top of the cluster to spin their cocoons. This leads to a series of problems: firstly, the excessive density of silkworms at the top easily results in undesirable cocoon shapes such as double cocoons, yellow-spotted cocoons, and deformed cocoons; secondly, the low utilization rate of the lower space leads to the emergence of wandering silkworms, severely affecting cocoon quality and yield. To reduce these problems, manual reversing of the clusters is often required in production, that is, artificially changing the direction of the square clusters to make the silkworms more evenly distributed. However, manual reversing not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, increasing breeding costs, but frequent operations may also disturb the silkworms, affecting their normal spinning, and even causing some silkworms to be injured, further reducing cocoon quality.

[0005] With consumers demanding higher quality silk products and rising labor costs, sericulture urgently needs an innovative grid cluster device to solve problems such as unreasonable structure, inconvenience of use, and negative impact on cocoon quality caused by traditional grid clusters, thereby improving breeding efficiency and economic benefits. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide an automatically rotating grid cluster device. To achieve the above objective, this invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatically rotating grid cluster device includes a central block and an outer frame. The central block is a square block, and the outer frame is a square frame. Each side of the central block extends into a side strip, the other end of which is fixed to the outer frame. The side strip divides the square frame into four rectangular areas. The four rectangular areas are symmetrical about the center of the central block. A grid cluster is fixed on each rectangular area. A support rod is sleeved in the middle of the central block.

[0008] As an improvement, the center block has a fixing hole in the middle, and the support rod is sleeved in the fixing hole.

[0009] As an improvement, a fixing element is provided between the grid cluster and the rectangular area, and the fixing element is a binding rope or a nail.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. This invention enables the automatic rotation and balance of the square cluster. As the silkworm climbs upwards, the square cluster automatically adjusts its angle according to the silkworm's weight distribution, ensuring that the silkworm is evenly distributed within the square cluster to spin its cocoon. This effectively reduces the formation of double cocoons, yellow-spotted cocoons, and deformed cocoons, lowers the probability of wandering silkworms, and significantly improves the quality and grade of the cocoon silk.

[0012] 2. This invention achieves automatic rotation, eliminating the need for frequent manual reshuffling. In large-scale farming scenarios, farmers can dedicate the saved time and energy to other crucial farming processes, improving overall farming efficiency while also reducing their workload and enhancing their work experience.

[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments to enable a better understanding of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment discloses an automatically rotating grid cluster device.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes a central block 1 and an outer frame 2. The central block 1 is a square block, and the outer frame 2 is a square frame. Each side of the central block 1 extends into a side strip 3, and the other end of the side strip 3 is fixed to the outer frame 2. The side strip 3 divides the square frame into four rectangular areas 4, which are symmetrical about the center of the central block 1. A grid cluster 5 is fixed on the rectangular areas 4. A support rod 6 is sleeved in the middle of the central block 1 to provide support and a rotation axis for the device.

[0026] Rotating structure: A fixing hole 7 is provided in the center of the central block 1, and the support rod 6 is sleeved in the fixing hole 7. This design allows the device to rotate easily around the support rod 6, achieving automatic rotation and balance when the weight distribution changes due to the silkworm climbing. The support rod 6 is made of plastic tubing, which is convenient, practical, and rust-free.

[0027] The grid cluster 5 is fixed by fasteners: the grid cluster 5 is connected to the rectangular area 4 by fasteners, which can be either binding ropes or nails. Binding ropes are a more flexible connection method, making it easier to disassemble and replace the grid cluster 5; nail fixing is more secure, ensuring that the grid cluster 5 is stably fixed within the rectangular area 4 during use.

[0028] Production steps:

[0029] Prepare materials: Select materials according to actual needs. If using bamboo or wood, choose sturdy, dry bamboo or wood free from insects and pests. If using plastic or steel, purchase plastic sheets or steel that meet strength requirements. Also prepare binding ropes, nails, and other accessories.

[0030] Make center block 1: Process the selected material into a square block with a side length of 13cm and a thickness of 2.5cm, and drill a fixing hole 7 with a diameter of 2-3cm in the center of center block 1.

[0031] Fabricate the edge strip 3 and outer frame 2: According to the design dimensions, process the material into edge strip 3 of appropriate length (e.g., 45cm long, 2cm wide, and 2.5cm thick) and outer frame 2 (e.g., 97cm long, 2cm wide, and 2.5cm thick). Fix one end of edge strip 3 to the four sides of the center block 1, and connect and fix the other end to the outer frame 2 to form a square frame structure. Ensure that the four edge strips 3 and outer frame 2 are firmly connected, so that the size and shape of the square frame meet the design requirements.

[0032] Install support rod 6: Fit support rod 6 into fixing hole 7 so that the device can rotate freely around support rod 6.

[0033] Fixing the grid cluster 5: Place the grid cluster 5 within the rectangular area 4, and use binding rope or nails to secure the grid cluster 5 to the corresponding sides of the rectangular area 4. When using binding rope, make sure to tie it tightly to ensure the grid cluster 5 is stable; when using nails, pay attention to the length and driving position of the nails to avoid damaging the grid cluster 5 and the device structure.

[0034] How to use:

[0035] Installation and Placement: Before the silkworms are placed on the cocoon, fix the device with the square cocoon 5 installed in a suitable position using the support rod 6, ensuring the device is stable and the support rod 6 is perpendicular to the ground. It can be installed on the silkworm rack for easy silkworm placement.

[0036] Silkworm mounting process: Place the silkworms near the square cluster 5, and they will naturally climb upwards to find a place to spin silk. During the climbing process, when the weight on one side of the square cluster 5 increases due to the gathering of silkworms, the device will automatically rotate around the support rod 6, making the distribution of silkworms on the square cluster 5 more even. Farmers only need to observe the silkworms' mounting process periodically; no manual repositioning is required.

[0037] Harvesting and Cleaning: After the silkworms have finished spinning their cocoons, carefully remove the device and collect the cocoons. Clean the grid cluster 5 and any debris from the device, and check for any damage. If any damage is found, repair or replace the damaged parts promptly for future use.

[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but they are merely examples, and this utility model is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions to this utility model are also within the scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of this utility model.
