Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of centipede farming, and in particular to the technical field of centipede breeding incubators. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of China's existing agricultural sector, specialized breeding is also flourishing. With the deepening development of traditional Chinese medicine, centipedes, as an irreplaceable medicinal material, are becoming increasingly important in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
[0003] Several prominent problems exist in the practice of artificially breeding centipedes, which directly restrict the widespread promotion and application of its breeding technology:
[0004] 1. The survival rate of larvae is low, usually less than 30%;
[0005] 2. The efficacy of the medicine was significantly reduced in the farmed individuals;
[0006] 3. The survival rate of adult insects is also at a low level;
[0007] 4. Escape prevention measures are unlikely to achieve 100% effective prevention and control. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology by proposing a centipede breeding incubator that can solve the above problems.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a centipede breeding incubator, comprising a breeding room, breeding units, and a humidification drip system. Several breeding units are arranged on the floor of the breeding room. The humidification drip system is located above the breeding units and includes a water supply pipe and a drip pipe. The water supply pipe is laid out in a mesh pattern above the breeding room, and its inlet end is connected to a water supply tank. Several water outlets are arranged above each breeding unit on the water supply pipe, and a drip pipe is installed at each outlet. The drip pipe is equipped with a flow regulator.
[0010] Preferably, the drip tube is a flexible tube, and the flow regulator is an infusion drip rate regulator.
[0011] Preferably, the breeding unit is surrounded by a fence, and the breeding unit is a multi-story shed structure. The multi-story shed structure is filled with substrate and is made of a number of bricks. The bricks have a number of through holes on two opposite sides.
[0012] Preferably, the brick is a porous sintered brick.
[0013] Preferably, the bricks are stacked in orderly rows, with gaps between adjacent rows of bricks, and the gaps and through holes of the bricks are filled with soil matrix.
[0014] Preferably, the fence is a square structure formed by transparent panels, with horizontally arranged transparent barriers at the four corners of the square structure, and anti-collision marking lines affixed to the top of the fence.
[0015] Preferably, the enclosure is installed perpendicular to the ground or inclined inwards.
[0016] Preferably, the floor of the breeding room is a hardened concrete structure.
[0017] Preferably, the breeding room is equipped with a temperature control device and a humidity control device.
[0018] Heating methods include geothermal energy, air conditioning, and medium combustion.
[0019] Cooling methods include underground water circulation, air conditioning, roof sprinklers, water curtains, and negative pressure fans.
[0020] Preferably, 5-50 drip tubes are arranged above each breeding unit.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By installing a moisturizing drip system above the breeding unit, this invention controls the indoor humidity while simultaneously moisturizing the breeding substrate. Maintaining suitable atmospheric and substrate humidity under human intervention significantly reduces centipede biting and improves survival rates during the growth stages. All floors inside the breeding room are hardened with concrete, and glass enclosures prevent centipedes from escaping. Barriers are installed at the four corners of the glass enclosures to effectively prevent centipedes from climbing along the corners, resulting in excellent escape prevention.
[0022] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A centipede breeding incubator includes a breeding room, breeding units 4, and a moisturizing drip system 1. Several breeding units 4 are arranged on the ground of the breeding room. The moisturizing drip system 1 is located above the breeding units 4. The moisturizing drip system 1 includes a water supply pipe 2 and a drip pipe 3. The water supply pipe 2 is laid in a mesh above the breeding room. The inlet end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to a water supply tank. Several water outlets are arranged above each breeding unit 4. A drip pipe 3 is installed at each water outlet. A flow regulator 5 is provided on the drip pipe 3.
[0029] The drip tube 3 is a flexible tube, and the flow regulator 5 is an infusion drip rate regulator.
[0030] The breeding unit 4 is surrounded by a fence 6. The breeding unit 4 is a multi-story shed structure. The multi-story shed structure is made of several bricks. Several through holes 41 are provided on two opposite sides of the bricks.
[0031] The bricks are porous sintered bricks.
[0032] The bricks are stacked in orderly rows, with gaps between adjacent rows of bricks. The gaps and through holes 41 of the bricks are filled with soil matrix.
[0033] During the stacking process, parallel and vertical passageways must be maintained to create an area for the golden-headed centipede to move around.
[0034] The enclosure 6 is a square structure formed by transparent glass panels. Transparent glass barriers 7 are arranged horizontally at the four corners of the square structure. Anti-collision marking lines 8 are affixed to the top of the enclosure 6.
[0035] The thickness of the glass shall not be less than 5mm, the height of the enclosure 6 shall not be less than 60mm, the size of the glass enclosure shall be determined according to the size of the area, and the width of the glass barrier shall be between 50-100mm.
[0036] The enclosure 6 is installed perpendicular to the ground or at an acute angle to the inward side.
[0037] The floor of the breeding room is a hardened concrete structure.
[0038] The concrete grade shall be no less than C25, and the hardened thickness shall be no less than 12 cm.
[0039] The breeding room is equipped with a temperature control device and a humidity control device.
[0040] The indoor temperature control device is a mature existing technology, so I won't go into too much detail again.
[0041] This embodiment uses either a water curtain negative pressure ventilation method or a timed ultrasonic atomization method to control the indoor air humidity, achieving the target value of RH 75-85%. Since water curtain ventilation and ultrasonic atomization are mature technologies, they will not be elaborated on here.
[0042] Each breeding unit 4 has 5-50 drip tubes 3 arranged above it.
[0043] The basic requirement for substrate moisture is that the substrate and porous sintered bricks or other materials can be moist but not have visible water.
[0044] During installation, a water tank with a live water source is installed high up in the breeding room. Ultraviolet germicidal lamps are installed in the water tank. A mesh-structured water supply pipe 2 is laid using this as the water source. The water supply pipe 2 is made of any of PVC, PE, or PPR and has a diameter of any model from DN20 to 110. Multiple water outlets are left above each breeding unit. The water outlets are connected to drip tubes 3 by threaded connection or other means. The drip tubes 3 are medical drip tubes and have a drip rate adjustment function. Each breeding unit can be equipped with 5-50 drip tubes. The drip rate is controlled at 5-120 D / min according to the outside temperature and the amount of water evaporation. The goal is to keep 20-50% of the area in every 300-500 square centimeters moist.
[0045] The water source used in its drip system must be kept clean and sterilized by ultraviolet light, with the pH value controlled between 6.5 and 7.0. Algae, other microorganisms, or other substances that may cause disease must not grow at the drip location.
[0046] A clean and consistently humid environment is more conducive to preserving the "dryness" medicinal properties of the golden-headed centipede.
[0047] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
