Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a silkworm feeding platform that can reduce the labor intensity of silkworm farmers in feeding silkworms and free up a large amount of breeding area. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of industrial economy and urbanization, the number of young rural laborers is gradually decreasing, and traditional labor-intensive mulberry planting and silkworm raising households are aging. Mechanization and labor-saving in sericulture production have become the trend in the development of the sericulture industry. Traditional silkworm feeding methods involve spreading leaves on the ground, with the silkworm rearing platform about 3 meters wide. A platform that is too wide is not conducive to spreading leaves evenly, resulting in some silkworms not getting enough to eat, uneven development, and low cocoon uniformity. At least a 1-meter passage is needed between the silkworm rearing platforms for farmers to walk, feed the silkworms, and work on the cocoons. Farmers expend a lot of physical strength carrying burlap sacks or baskets filled with mulberry leaves while walking through these passages, and are also prone to trampling the silkworms, causing losses in numbers. In addition, a certain amount of rearing area is lost. For example, using a 10m x 30m silkworm rearing room, two 1-meter-wide passages need to be reserved in the middle for farmers to walk, resulting in a loss of approximately 60 square meters of rearing area, which is not conducive to expanding the rearing scale.

[0003] In summary, existing technologies suffer from three major technical problems: first, they reduce the area available for raising silkworms, hindering the expansion of breeding capacity; second, feeding is inconvenient and labor-intensive for farmers; and third, uneven leaf distribution and trampling of silkworms during feeding can lead to insufficient mulberry leaf consumption and silkworm losses, resulting in decreased yield and quality. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatically controllable track-type silkworm feeding platform device. The design objectives are as follows: First, this device fully releases the silkworm rearing area in the silkworm rearing room, improves the utilization rate of the silkworm rearing room area, and increases the rearing volume; Second, this device facilitates the feeding of mulberry leaves, greatly reducing the labor intensity of farmers; Third, during the feeding process, it is easy to spread the leaves evenly and it is not easy to trample the silkworms, ensuring the yield of silkworms.

[0005] The scheme is as follows: An automatically controllable track-type silkworm feeding platform device includes a platform 1 and a translation drive assembly. The translation drive assembly is connected to the platform 1. The translation drive assembly includes a track wheel 2, a toothed track wheel 3, a motor reducer assembly 4, a track 6, and a toothed track 7. The track 6 and the toothed track 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding base 5. The track wheel 2, the toothed track wheel 3, and the motor reducer assembly 4 are connected to the lower surface of the platform 1. The platform 1 is movably connected to the track 6 through the track wheel 2. The toothed track wheel 3 and the toothed track 7 mesh with each other. The shaft of the motor reducer assembly 4 is connected to the toothed track wheel 3 for transmission. The wheel cover of the track wheel 2 is covered with a flexible layer structure 8. The two ends of the base 5 are mounted in the air through the support legs 9. The control circuit of the motor reducer assembly (4) is connected to a remote control device.

[0006] Preferably, there are four track wheels 2, which are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the platform 1, and the track 6 consists of two parallel tracks.

[0007] Preferably, the toothed track wheel 3 is disposed in the middle of the platform 1, and the toothed track 7 is parallel to the track 6.

[0008] Preferably, the platform 1 is provided with anti-collision pads 10 and limit switches 11 at both the front and rear ends.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Based on years of production and practice, this application designs a movable track-type silkworm feeding platform device, suitable for use by large-scale silkworm farmers or sericulture farms. It can increase the number of silkworms raised in a fixed area, reduce labor costs, and improve the uniformity of cocoons, thereby increasing the number of silkworms raised, improving the yield and quality of cocoons, and increasing the income of silkworm farmers. If the track-type silkworm feeding platform device is used, a 10m*30m silkworm rearing room can raise one more sheet of silkworm eggs, up to six sheets. Simultaneously, feeding mulberry leaves using burlap sacks or baskets placed on the platform saves labor and ensures more even feeding, guaranteeing that each silkworm is well-fed and develops healthily, resulting in high cocoon uniformity. The price is 0.5 to 1 yuan per kilogram higher than the average price. Assuming each sheet of silkworm eggs produces 50 kilograms of cocoons, and each kilogram of cocoons costs approximately 60 yuan, a 10m*30m silkworm rearing room can generate a net increase in income of 3150 to 3300 yuan per season. If multiple seasons of silkworm eggs are raised annually, the income will be even greater.

[0010] In summary, this invention offers two key advantages. First, because the feeder stands directly on the platform, the motor and reducer assembly 4 directly drives the platform forward and backward after being powered on, eliminating the need for a pedestrian walkway in traditional designs. Therefore, this device maximizes the available silkworm rearing area, increases the utilization rate of the silkworm rearing room, and boosts the rearing yield. Second, the device allows farmers to stand on the platform for mobile feeding, reducing their movement and making feeding more convenient, significantly reducing their labor intensity. Third, the area covered by the leaf-scattering mechanism is wider, reaching even the most remote corners, ensuring optimal silkworm production. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the following specific embodiments.

[0019] Specific Embodiment: An automatically controllable track-type silkworm feeding platform device includes a platform 1 and a translation drive assembly. The translation drive assembly is connected to the platform 1. The translation drive assembly includes track wheels 2, toothed track wheels 3, a motor reducer assembly 4, a track 6, and a toothed track 7. The track 6 and toothed track 7 are respectively fixedly connected to corresponding bases 5 by bolts. The bases 5 are fixedly connected to the ground by expansion bolts. The track wheels 2, toothed track wheels 3, and motor reducer assembly 4 are connected to the lower surface of the platform 1. The track wheels 2, toothed track wheels 3, and motor reducer assembly 4 are installed on the lower surface of the platform 1 by screws. The platform 1 is movably connected to the track 6 through the track wheels 2. The platform 1 can slide along the track 6 through the track wheels 2. The toothed track wheels 3 and the toothed track 7 mesh with each other through matching teeth. The shaft of the motor reducer assembly 4 is connected to the toothed track wheels 3 through a coupling. The control circuit of the motor reducer assembly 4 is connected to a remote control device. The motor remote control guides the platform. The operator can directly press the remote control to make the motor reverse forward and backward, so that the platform 1 can move forward and backward along the track.

[0020] The motor reducer assembly 4 is an assembly that includes a motor and a reducer. It has the function of reducing speed and increasing torque, thereby improving the moving force of the platform 1, reducing the moving speed, avoiding motor overload, and protecting the motor coil.

[0021] There are four track wheels 2, which are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the platform 1. The tracks 6 are two parallel tracks. The four-wheel design is intended to maintain the balance of the platform 1.

[0022] The toothed track wheel 3 is located in the middle of the platform 1, and the toothed track 7 is parallel to the track 6.

[0023] Platform 1 of this product can accommodate multiple people for related operations. Most commonly, two people operate it: one scatters mulberry leaves for feeding, while the other uses tools to clean up any scattered leaves on the track and flatten the pile for easy feeding by silkworms. Farmers can stand on platform 1 to perform these operations, avoiding the fatigue caused by walking back and forth on the walkway in traditional solutions. An additional person can be added to the platform to specifically carry sacks filled with mulberry leaves picked from the fields to platform 1. This allows multiple people to work collaboratively on the rectangular platform 1, completing the feeding operation with a combination of human intervention and machine assistance. This avoids the interference caused by multiple people walking in a straight aisle. Furthermore, the base 5 is designed to be elevated, with the breeding area directly beneath it, thus not occupying any breeding space.

[0024] Furthermore, the wheel rim of the track wheel 2 is covered with a flexible layer structure 8, and the two ends of the base 5 are suspended in mid-air via support legs 9. The flexible structure layer can be made of rubber to avoid rigid contact and reduce the adverse effects of mechanical noise on silkworm growth. The upper end of the support leg 9 has a concave structure, into which the base 5 can be directly engaged. The lower end of the support leg 9 is fixed to the concrete ground via a steel plate and expansion bolts. This makes the device structure very stable and also facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0025] The motor reducer assembly 4 is connected to a remote control, which is a wired remote control with a built-in control module, similar to the remote controls commonly used on overhead cranes in workshops. A wireless remote control can also be used for even more convenient operation.

[0026] The platform 1 is equipped with anti-collision pads 10 and limit switches 11 at both ends. When the platform 1 moves and comes into contact with the wall, the buffering effect of the anti-collision pads 10 and the stopping effect of the limit switches 11 are performed simultaneously. The anti-collision pads 10 are made of latex soft pads with a thickness of more than 10cm to increase the buffering performance. The limit switches 11 are switches that control the motor reducer assembly 4 to stop. They are also common electrical components on the market.

[0027] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. However, the invention of the present utility model is not limited to this embodiment. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent changes or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent changes or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
