Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect egg transportation technology, specifically to an insect egg storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Most insects have four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. When selling insect eggs, it may be necessary to transport them over long distances.
[0003] Publication No. CN208657712U discloses a black soldier fly egg storage device, including a transport pipe with sealing nets at both ends. Several layers of preservative paper and egg netting are spaced apart inside the transport pipe, with the inner side of the sealing nets lined with preservative paper. The transport pipe is a PVC pipe, and the sealing nets are nylon nets, detachably connected to both ends of the transport pipe. Black soldier flies are holometabolous insects, undergoing four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larval stage is the stage capable of processing organic waste on a large scale. Large-scale waste processing requires a large number of eggs to hatch the larvae, and the aforementioned black soldier fly storage device enables the transportation of black soldier flies.
[0004] When the aforementioned black soldier fly device is transported, multiple egg bags are stacked inside the transport tube, allowing only the black soldier flies at the ends to breathe. Since black soldier fly eggs are living organisms, they need to breathe fresh air. In the aforementioned black soldier fly device, the stacking of multiple egg bags prevents the eggs in the middle egg bags from being effectively ventilated, which affects the survival rate of the black soldier fly eggs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose an insect egg storage device to solve the technical problem of poor ventilation in the stacking of insect eggs in existing insect egg storage devices.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides an insect egg storage device, comprising:
[0008] The housing assembly has a fixed cavity; and
[0009] The mesh bag assembly is built into the fixed cavity and has multiple receiving cavities. The multiple receiving cavities are spaced apart and laid flat. The outer wall of the mesh bag assembly has ventilation holes that communicate with the receiving cavities.
[0010] In one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly includes a plurality of mesh bags, which are spaced apart and laid flat, with the receiving cavity formed inside each mesh bag and the ventilation hole provided.
[0011] In one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly includes a mesh container and a plurality of spacers connected to the mesh container and dividing the mesh container into a plurality of mesh bags. The mesh bags are laid flat and form the receiving cavity inside the mesh bags. The outer wall of the mesh bags is provided with the ventilation holes.
[0012] In one embodiment, one end of the mesh bag is closed, and the other end is openable and closeable.
[0013] In one embodiment, the diameter of the vent holes in the mesh bag is less than 1.5 mm.
[0014] In one embodiment, the length of the mesh bag is less than 25 centimeters and the height of the mesh bag is less than 6 centimeters.
[0015] In one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly further includes a fluffy filler disposed within a receiving cavity of the mesh bag.
[0016] In one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly further includes a moisturizing filler disposed within the receiving cavity of the mesh bag, or the moisturizing filler is disposed within the fixing cavity and outside the mesh bag.
[0017] In one embodiment, the box assembly includes a box with a hollow interior forming the fixing cavity, an opening at the top of the box, and a plurality of the mesh bags housed within the box.
[0018] In one embodiment, the housing assembly further includes a partition that divides the internal fixed cavity of the housing into multiple chambers, with the multiple mesh bags respectively disposed in the multiple chambers.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the insect egg storage device provided by this utility model, when transporting black soldier fly eggs, fills the black soldier fly eggs into multiple receiving cavities of the mesh bag assembly. Since the receiving cavities are laid flat and spaced apart, the black soldier fly eggs can be prevented from stacking inside the box assembly, thus avoiding the impact of egg stacking on ventilation and improving the survival rate of black soldier fly eggs. At the same time, by opening vents on the outer wall of the mesh bag assembly that are connected to the receiving cavities, outside air can enter the receiving cavities through the vents, enhancing the ventilation and breathability of the eggs.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages 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 merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0030] To address the technical problem of poor ventilation in existing insect egg storage devices, this invention provides an insect egg storage device that enhances ventilation and prevents poor ventilation from affecting the survival rate of the eggs.
[0031] It should be noted that the insect egg storage device described in this utility model is used for, but not limited to, the transportation of black soldier flies. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the insect egg storage device to black soldier flies as an example. The principle of the insect egg storage device applied to the transportation of insects such as mealworms, brine shrimp, fly larvae, and termites is essentially the same as that applied to the transportation of black soldier flies, and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an insect egg storage device in one embodiment of the present invention. The insect egg storage device includes a box assembly 1 and a mesh bag assembly 2. The box assembly 1 has a fixed cavity; the mesh bag assembly 2 is built into the fixed cavity and has multiple receiving cavities. The multiple receiving cavities are spaced apart and laid flat. The outer wall of the mesh bag assembly 2 has ventilation holes that communicate with the receiving cavities.
[0033] Specifically, when transporting black soldier fly eggs, the eggs are filled into multiple compartments of the mesh bag assembly 2. Because the compartments are laid out flat and spaced apart, the eggs are prevented from piling up inside the box assembly 1, thus avoiding poor ventilation and improving the survival rate of the eggs. Simultaneously, ventilation holes connected to the compartments are created on the outer wall of the mesh bag assembly 2, allowing outside air to enter and further enhancing ventilation. The density of black soldier fly eggs in the compartments can be adjusted. In winter, increasing the egg density raises the egg temperature, preventing them from dying from low temperatures. In summer, decreasing the egg density creates gaps between the eggs for heat dissipation.
[0034] It should be understood that the mesh bag assembly 2 can be a breathable mesh bag, a cylindrical mesh, etc.
[0035] It should be understood that the box assembly 1 may include one, two or more mesh bag assemblies 2, and the number of mesh bag assemblies 2 in the box assembly 1 is not limited.
[0036] In order to form multiple receiving cavities within the mesh bag assembly 2, for this purpose, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly 2 includes a plurality of mesh bags 21, which are spaced apart. Each mesh bag 21 has a receiving cavity and is provided with a ventilation hole.
[0037] In this embodiment, the mesh bag assembly 2 is configured as multiple mesh bags 21, and the black soldier fly eggs are contained in the multiple spaced mesh bags 21 respectively, so that the black soldier fly eggs can be arranged in a spaced manner; the mesh bag 21 is a mesh bag with ventilation holes, so that the black soldier fly eggs in each part of the mesh bag 21 can be exposed to fresh air.
[0038] In order to fill with black soldier fly eggs, for this purpose, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh bag 21 is open at one end and can be opened and closed at the other end.
[0039] When filling black soldier fly eggs, the opening end of the net bag 21 is opened, and the black soldier fly eggs are filled into the net bag 21 through the opening end. Then the opening end of the net bag 21 is closed, thus completing the filling of black soldier fly eggs.
[0040] The opening of the mesh bag 21 can be closed and opened by binding with a rope, or an elastic ring (not shown in the figure) can be set at the opening of the mesh bag 21 to close the opening of the mesh bag 21 by the elasticity of the elastic ring, or a pull rope (not shown in the figure) can be set at the opening of the mesh bag 21 to close and open the opening of the mesh bag 21 by pulling the pull rope.
[0041] In order to form multiple receiving cavities within the mesh bag assembly 2, for this purpose, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly 2 includes a mesh container 22 and a plurality of spacers 23. The plurality of spacers 23 are connected to the mesh container 22 and divide the mesh container 22 into a plurality of mesh bags 21. A receiving cavity is formed inside the mesh bag 21, and a ventilation hole is provided on the outer wall of the mesh bag 21.
[0042] In this embodiment, multiple spacers 23 are used to divide the mesh container 22 into multiple mesh bags 21. The multiple spaced mesh bags 21 are used to contain black soldier fly eggs. The eggs can be ventilated through the ventilation holes on the outer wall of the mesh bags 21, so that the eggs in the mesh bags 21 can be ventilated from multiple directions.
[0043] It should be understood that the spacer 23 can be a knot formed by heat-melting the mesh bag 21, or the spacer 23 can be a rope, which binds the mesh container 22 into multiple spaced mesh bags 21; or an elastic ring can be used to bind the mesh container 22, so that the mesh forms multiple spaced mesh bags 21.
[0044] The mesh container 22 can be a long, narrow mesh bag or a cylindrical mesh sleeve, etc. Specifically, for example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh container 22 is elongated and hollow inside, with one or both ends of the mesh container 22 open, and the open ends can be closed by ropes and elastic rings.
[0045] To prevent black soldier fly eggs from falling out of the mesh bag 21, in one embodiment, the diameter of the vent holes in the mesh bag 21 is less than 1.5 mm.
[0046] In this embodiment, by limiting the size of the ventilation holes of the mesh bag 21, the size of the ventilation holes is made smaller than the size of the black soldier fly eggs, thus preventing the black soldier fly eggs from sliding out through the ventilation holes of the mesh bag 21.
[0047] To avoid an excessive number of black soldier flies in the mesh bag 21, exceeding the suitable density, in one embodiment, the length of the mesh bag 21 is less than 25 cm and the height of the mesh bag 21 is less than 6 cm.
[0048] In this embodiment, by limiting the size of the mesh bag 21, it is possible to avoid the mesh bag 21 containing too many black soldier flies, thus avoiding the situation where excessive black soldier flies cause compression and heating, or the stacking leads to compression and death.
[0049] To reduce the squeezing of black soldier fly eggs, therefore, such as Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly 2 further includes a fluffy filler 24, which is built into the receiving cavity of the mesh bag 21.
[0050] In this embodiment, by providing a fluffy filler 24, the fluffy filler 24 can separate the black soldier fly eggs, preventing the black soldier fly eggs from piling up and being squeezed to death.
[0051] It should be understood that the fluffy filler 24 can be loofah, newspaper, sponge, foam, powder, etc.
[0052] To keep black soldier fly eggs moist, such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the mesh bag assembly 2 further includes a moisturizing filler 25, which is built into the receiving cavity of the mesh bag 21, or the moisturizing filler 25 is built into the fixing cavity and disposed outside the mesh bag 21.
[0053] By providing a moisture-retaining filler 25 inside or outside the mesh bag 21, the moisture-retaining filler 25 can maintain the humidity of the environment where the black soldier fly is located inside the mesh bag 21, thus preventing the humidity from decreasing and affecting the survival rate of the black soldier fly.
[0054] It should be understood that the moisturizing filler 25 can be a wet tissue, a wet sponge, etc.
[0055] It should be understood that the housing assembly 1 can be various types of housings 11, such as barrel-shaped housings 11, rectangular housings 11, elongated housings 11, spherical housings 11, etc. Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the box assembly 1 includes a box 11, the interior of which is hollow to form a fixed cavity, the top of the box 11 is open, and a plurality of mesh bags 21 are built into the box 11.
[0056] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to place the mesh bag assembly 2 inside the box assembly 1, the mesh bag assembly 2 can be placed inside the box 11 from the opening end of the box 11, which facilitates the removal and placement of the mesh bag assembly 2.
[0057] It should be understood that multiple boxes 11 can be stacked, and the opening of the box 11 can be left open or closed by cover plates, fabric, etc.
[0058] In order to separate the black soldier fly eggs inside the compartment 11, for this reason, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing assembly 1 further includes a partition 12 that divides the internal fixed cavity of the housing 11 into multiple chambers 11a, and multiple mesh bags 21 are respectively disposed in the multiple chambers 11a.
[0059] By setting the separator 12, the fixed cavity inside the box 11 is divided into multiple chambers 11a, and then multiple mesh bags 21 are respectively placed in the multiple chambers 11a, thus achieving the separation of multiple mesh bags 21. By forming multiple spaced chambers 11a, air flow can be reduced within the chambers 11a, which can reduce the moisture loss of black soldier fly eggs in the mesh bags 21 caused by air flow, avoid moisture loss during transportation, and prevent the mealworm eggs from being shaken and killed by collision between the mesh bags 21 during transportation. When the mesh bag assembly 2 is divided into multiple mesh bags 21 by the spacer 23, the spacer 23 can be located above the separator 12 or pass through the separator 12.
[0060] It should be understood that the separator 12 can be a grid-like strip of paper or a partition, or a cross-distributed strip of paper or a partition.
[0061] The phrase "multiple mesh bags 21 are respectively set in multiple chambers 11a" means that each chamber 11a is provided with one mesh bag 21, or some chambers 11a may not be provided with mesh bags 21.
[0062] To ensure that each mesh bag 21 is laid flat inside the box 11, and to ensure that the dimensions of each chamber 11a are consistent, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the plurality of chambers 11a are arranged in a matrix.
[0063] In this embodiment, by arranging multiple chambers 11a in a matrix, when multiple mesh bags 21 are placed inside multiple chambers 11a, the multiple mesh bags 21 are evenly laid out. At the same time, arranging multiple chambers 11a in a matrix makes it easier to divide the fixed cavity in the box 11, and makes it easier to ensure that the size of each chamber 11a is approximately the same.
[0064] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
