Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect breeding equipment technology, specifically to a material turning mechanism for a three-dimensional breeding rack. Background Technology

[0002] Insects such as mealworms and black soldier flies have advantages such as short conversion cycles, efficient nutrient absorption, and low greenhouse gas emissions, and are widely used to convert kitchen waste and livestock manure into insect protein. Currently, insect farming usually uses long, narrow pools or multi-layered farming racks. When it is necessary to remove the material and insects, for long, narrow pools, it is necessary to manually use a scraper to push the organic material and insects along the bottom of the pool to the collection port at the end of the pool for collection. For multi-layered farming racks, it is necessary to manually pull out each tray on the farming rack and empty it. Both of these methods require manual labor and are relatively inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a turning mechanism for a three-dimensional aquaculture rack, which enables the one-time tilting and overturning of multi-layer conversion racks with high tilting efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a material turning mechanism for a three-dimensional aquaculture rack, including a material turning base, a material turning frame on the material turning base, an installation position on the material turning frame, the installation position for fixing the three-dimensional aquaculture rack, and a flipping drive mechanism on the material turning base for driving the material turning frame to rotate, thereby flipping the three-dimensional aquaculture rack on the installation position, so that all the materials and insects in the three-dimensional aquaculture rack are poured out.

[0005] In some embodiments, multiple crossbeams are provided on both sides of the feed turning rack, and a locking device is provided on the crossbeams for locking the three-dimensional aquaculture rack.

[0006] In some embodiments, the locking device includes an electromagnetic lock for engaging with a magnet on the three-dimensional aquaculture rack.

[0007] In some embodiments, the locking device includes an electrically operated telescopic shaft for insertion into a locking hole in the three-dimensional aquaculture frame.

[0008] In some embodiments, a limiting beam is provided on the side of the feed turning rack that is not provided with a crossbeam. The limiting beam is used for positioning the three-dimensional aquaculture rack so that the locking device can cooperate with the three-dimensional aquaculture rack.

[0009] In some embodiments, the flipping drive mechanism is arranged on one side of the turning base, and the flipping drive mechanism is used to control the turning frame to flip towards the side where the limiting beam is arranged, so that the limiting beam can assist in supporting the three-dimensional aquaculture frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the material turning seats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material turning frame, and the bottom of the material turning seats is fixed to the ground by bolts.

[0011] In some embodiments, a conveying mechanism is provided directly below the tipping rack, the conveying mechanism being used to transport the poured-out materials and insects to the insect-material separation station for insect-material separation.

[0012] In some embodiments, baffles are provided on both sides of the conveying mechanism to confine the spilled material and insects within the range of the conveying mechanism.

[0013] In some embodiments, the baffle is fixedly installed on the material turning seat.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The conversion box of the three-dimensional breeding rack of this utility model is fixed on the three-dimensional breeding rack. By fixing the three-dimensional breeding rack on the feed turning rack, the entire three-dimensional breeding rack can be turned over by the turning drive mechanism, so that all the materials and insects in the conversion boxes can be poured out, which is highly efficient.

[0016] 2. By setting up a crossbeam, this utility model can not only install a locking device to fix the three-dimensional breeding rack, but also strengthen the overall strength of the feed turning rack.

[0017] 3. The locking device of this utility model can be an electromagnetic lock, which can directly fix the three-dimensional breeding rack after being powered on, and the structure is simple.

[0018] 4. By setting a limiting beam, this utility model can not only position the installation position of the three-dimensional breeding rack, but also assist in supporting the three-dimensional breeding rack during the flipping process, thereby reducing the force on the locking device.

[0019] 5. By setting up a conveying mechanism, this utility model realizes the integrated setup of turning and transporting feed, further improving breeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the three-dimensional aquaculture rack of this utility model includes a multi-layer conversion rack, which includes multiple columns and multiple conversion boxes. The multiple conversion boxes are arranged at intervals in the height direction, and adjacent conversion boxes are fixedly connected by columns. The conversion boxes and columns can be fixedly inserted by mortise and tenon structure.

[0029] This utility model provides a turning mechanism for a three-dimensional aquaculture rack. The turning mechanism 3 includes a turning base 31, a turning frame 32 rotatably mounted on the turning base 31, and a mounting position on the turning frame 32. A multi-layer conversion rack 1 can be fixed to the mounting position. A flipping drive mechanism 33 is provided on the turning base 31, which drives the turning frame 32 to rotate, thereby flipping the multi-layer conversion rack 1 at the mounting position. Figure 4 As shown, by setting up the material turning mechanism 3, all the materials and insects in all the conversion boxes 11 on the entire multi-layer conversion rack 1 can be poured out at the same time, which improves work efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a rotating bearing 311 is provided on the top of the flipping base 31, and the flipping frame 32 is rotatably connected to the flipping base 31 through the rotating bearing 311.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the flipping drive mechanism 33 is installed on the outer side of the flipping base 31, and the flipping drive structure can be a geared motor.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple crossbeams 321 are provided on the left and right sides of the flipping frame 32. Locking devices 323 are provided on the crossbeams 321. After the multi-layer conversion frame 1 is transported to the flipping frame 32, the multi-layer conversion frame 1 can be locked by the locking devices 323, so that the multi-layer conversion frame 1 can rotate together with the flipping frame 32.

[0033] In some embodiments, the locking device 323 may be an electromagnetic lock, and a corresponding magnet may be fixedly installed on the multi-layer conversion frame 1, that is, the multi-layer conversion frame 1 may be fixed by magnetic force.

[0034] In some embodiments, the locking device 323 may also be an electric telescopic shaft, with corresponding locking holes provided on the multi-layer conversion frame 1, and one end of the electric telescopic shaft can be inserted into the locking hole to fix the multi-layer conversion frame 1.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple limiting beams 322 are provided on the front side of the flipping rack 32. After the multi-layer conversion rack 1 is transported onto the flipping rack 32, it abuts against the limiting beams 322, so that the magnets on the multi-layer conversion rack 1 are exactly in contact with the electromagnetic lock. At this time, the electromagnetic lock can be opened to fix the multi-layer conversion rack 1. In addition, the flipping drive mechanism 33 can control the flipping rack 32 to flip to the side where the limiting beams 322 are arranged, so that the limiting beams 322 can assist in supporting the multi-layer conversion rack 1 during the flipping process, reducing the force on the locking device 323.

[0036] The material turning frame 32 has crossbeams 321 on both sides and a limiting beam 322 on one side, making the material turning frame 32 a cage-like structure with an opening on one side, so that the multi-layer conversion frame 1 can be put into the material turning frame 32 from the opening.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the material turning base 31 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material turning frame 32, and the bottom of the material turning base 31 is fixed to the ground by bolts.

[0038] In some embodiments, a conveying mechanism, such as a belt conveyor, is provided directly below the tipping frame 32. Figure 1 The conveying mechanism is not shown in the diagram. The poured materials and insects can fall directly onto the conveying mechanism, which can transport the poured materials and insects to the insect-feed separation station for separation, ensuring the continuity of each process and improving breeding efficiency.

[0039] Furthermore, baffles are installed on both sides of the conveying mechanism to confine the spilled material and insects within the conveying mechanism's range. The baffles can be fixedly installed on the tipping seat 31 by welding or bolting.

[0040] The method of using the material turning mechanism of the three-dimensional breeding rack is as follows: the multi-layer conversion rack 1 is transferred and placed in the material turning rack 32 by a forklift and pressed against the limiting beam 322. The locking device 323 is opened and the locking device 323 fixes the multi-layer conversion rack 1. Then the turning drive mechanism 33 drives the material turning rack 32 to rotate at a preset angle, such as 130°, so that the material and insects on the multi-layer conversion rack 1 are poured out. The poured material and insects are transported directly into the insect-material separation station for insect-material separation under the transport of the conveying mechanism.

[0041] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
