Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of earthworm breeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feed turning device for earthworm breeding boxes. Background Technology
[0002] The most advanced method for raising earthworms is the three-dimensional constant-temperature breeding method, which offers high economic benefits. Earthworms in the south have a much longer natural growing period than those in the north and are more adaptable. Therefore, there are no regional limitations when introducing them from south to north. It's similar to transplanting plants from their natural environment to a greenhouse; the plants can still grow very well. Earthworms prefer to live in dark, moist, humus-rich, loose soil. They are highly adaptable and can be raised in various regions as long as a certain temperature and humidity are maintained.
[0003] The ground beetle is an insect with important medicinal value, and its cultivation is gradually gaining attention. Turning the feed is a crucial step in ground beetle cultivation. Traditional automatic feed-turning devices for ground beetle rearing boxes are only suitable for rearing boxes of specific sizes, resulting in poor flexibility and reduced effectiveness, failing to meet user needs. Therefore, we propose an automatic feed-turning device for ground beetle rearing boxes to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic material turning device for cricket breeding boxes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic material turning device for a ground beetle breeding box includes a fixed plate. Two adjusting boxes are placed on the upper surface of the fixed plate. A grooved locking seat is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each adjusting box. An adjusting plate is positioned between the two grooved locking seats. Multiple sets of equidistantly arranged turning rods are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting plate. Three sets of springs are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjusting plate. A spherical head is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each turning rod. The top end of each spring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed plate. Threaded holes are opened on the sides of the two adjusting boxes that are close to each other. A threaded rotating rod is threadedly connected to the inner ring of the two threaded holes. Multiple moving wheels are installed inside each grooved locking seat. A push handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each adjusting box. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of each adjusting box. Threaded sleeves are fixedly embedded on the sides of the two connecting blocks that are close to each other, and the threaded rotating rod is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve.
[0007] In a further embodiment, two size plates are provided above the fixing plate. The bottom end of each size plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate. The side of the two size plates that are close to each other is in contact with the front and back of the two adjustment boxes, respectively. The side of the two adjustment boxes that are far apart from each other is provided with scales.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the upper surface of the fixing plate is provided with a sliding groove, and two sliding blocks are slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The upper surface of each sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting box.
[0009] In a further embodiment, model markings are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two slotted connectors.
[0010] In a further embodiment, each of the two slotted card holders has a guide groove on one side that is close to each other, and a guide block is slidably connected inside each guide groove. The two guide blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the adjustment plate on one side that is close to each other.
[0011] In a further embodiment, a rotating cap is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod, and the rotating cap is hexagonal.
[0012] In a further embodiment, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate, and the left and right ends of the two positioning plates are respectively in contact with one side of the slotted snap-fit seat.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This device rotates a threaded rod by rotating a rotating cap. The use of the threaded hole and threaded sleeve allows for flexible adjustment of the adjustment box's position, adapting to different sizes of breeding boxes and significantly improving its applicability and flexibility. Simultaneously, the grooved locking seat with its internal caster wheels ensures smooth movement on the breeding box, further enhancing operational convenience. The coordinated action of the spring, adjusting plate, turning rod, and spherical head ensures the turning rod contacts the bottom of the breeding box during turning, effectively preventing damage to the cockroaches and protecting their growth environment. The staggered distribution of the turning rods ensures uniform turning, effectively solving the problems of poor flexibility and limited applicability of traditional turning devices.

Multiple moving wheels 15 are installed inside each slotted card seat 5. A push handle 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each adjustment box 2. A connecting block 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of each adjustment box 2. Threaded sleeves 20 are fixedly embedded on the side of each connecting block 19 that are close to each other, and the threaded rotating rod 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 20.
[0025] Two dimension plates 3 are provided above the fixed plate 1. The bottom end of each dimension plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 1. The side of the two dimension plates 3 that are close to each other contacts the front and back of the two regulating boxes 2, respectively. The side of the two regulating boxes 2 that are far apart from each other is provided with scales. The dimensions of the regulating boxes 2 can be measured through the dimension plates 3. The upper surface of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a sliding groove 16. Two sliding blocks 17 are slidably connected inside the sliding groove 16. The upper surface of each sliding block 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the regulating box 2. Through the cooperation of the sliding blocks 17 and the sliding groove 16, the regulating box 2 can be moved more smoothly. The two slotted snap-fit seats 5 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected with model marks 6, which facilitates the description of the performance of the equipment.
[0026] Two slotted snap-fit seats 5 each have a guide groove 8 on one side that is close to each other. A guide block 9 is slidably connected inside each guide groove 8. The two guide blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the adjusting plate 7 respectively. Through the cooperation of the guide groove 8 and the guide block 9, the adjusting plate 7 can move more smoothly. A rotating cap 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rotating rod 13. The rotating cap 14 is hexagonal, which facilitates the rotation of the threaded rotating rod 13. A positioning plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate 1. The left and right ends of the two positioning plates 18 are in contact with the one side that is close to each other of the slotted snap-fit seats 5 respectively. The positioning plates 18 facilitate the positioning of the slotted snap-fit seats 5.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] In use, first rotate the rotating cap 14, which drives the threaded rotating rod 13 to rotate. Then, by using the cooperation of the threaded hole 12 and the threaded sleeve 20, the position of the adjusting box 2 can be adjusted to adapt to breeding boxes of different sizes. Since the slotted card seat 5 is equipped with a movable wheel 15, the device can be moved at the breeding box. Through the provided spring 11, adjusting plate 7, turning rod 10 and ball head, it is ensured that the turning rod 10 can make stable contact with the breeding material during the turning process, while avoiding damage to the earthworms. Since the turning rod 10 is staggered, it ensures the uniformity of turning the material, effectively solving the problem that the traditional automatic turning device for earthworm breeding boxes can only be used for breeding boxes of specific sizes, resulting in poor flexibility in use.
