Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tussah silkworm breeding technology, and more specifically, to a combined tussah silkworm rearing device. Background Technology

[0002] The tussah silkworm, also known as the Chinese tussah silkworm or wild silkworm, is an important silk-producing insect. Unlike the domesticated silkworm, it mainly feeds on the leaves of oak trees (such as Liaodong oak, Mongolian oak, and other oak species). Tussah silk has unique fluffiness, toughness, and luster, making it an important raw material for high-end silk products.

[0003] Existing tussah silkworm rearing equipment still has some drawbacks. From the 1st to the 5th instar, the size of tussah silkworms varies greatly, and existing equipment usually has a fixed height, which cannot adapt to this change. During the juvenile silkworm stage, excessively high spacing between layers leads to wasted space; in the mature silkworm stage, the space becomes cramped and crowded, affecting the silkworms' activity and feeding, and even causing them to squeeze each other, get injured, or spread diseases. Space utilization efficiency is low, and it cannot flexibly adapt to the mixed rearing needs of different batches and ages of silkworms. If it is necessary to clean the bottom of the box, change feed, observe the condition of the silkworm colony, select sick or weak silkworms, or move silkworms, the operator often has to reach deep into the shelf, or even laboriously lift the entire heavy rearing box out of the shelf. This is not only laborious and time-consuming, but also easily results in injury, crushing, or disturbing of the silkworms during the operation. Tussah silkworm larvae are prey for various parasitic and predatory insects (such as parasitic wasps, parasitic flies, ants, carnivorous stink bugs, ground beetles, etc.). The existing open shelf structure cannot effectively prevent these harmful insects from flying or crawling into the rearing box to lay eggs or directly preying on the silkworms, causing mass mortality or a decrease in cocooning rate. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a combined tussah silkworm rearing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a combined tussah silkworm rearing device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to adjust the height of the rearing box, resulting in low space utilization, and the inconvenience of pulling the rearing box outward, resulting in inconvenience for cleaning and inspection.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A combined tussah silkworm rearing device includes support columns, a height adjustment mechanism, a pull-out mechanism, and a protective mechanism. The support columns are provided in four sets, with a first sliding groove formed on the inner sidewall. The height adjustment mechanism is provided in two sets, including a slide frame, sliders, and first sliding bars. The slide frame has two sets of sliders on its sidewall, with first sliding bars on both sides. The first sliding bars are embedded in the first sliding groove, allowing the slide frame to slide smoothly connected to the support columns. The pull-out mechanism includes a cultivation box, a second sliding bar, and a fixing component. The slide frame has a second sliding groove on its surface, and second sliding bars are formed on both sides of the cultivation box. The second sliding bars are embedded in the second sliding groove, allowing the cultivation box to slide smoothly connected to the slide frame.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the surface of the support column has a plurality of equally spaced slots, and the lower end face of the slide is hinged to a rotating plate, the rotating plate being adapted to the slots. The equally spaced slots provide multiple fixing positions, allowing free adjustment of the height of the cultivation box to accommodate the rearing of tussah silkworms at different stages, and the end of the rotating plate can be inserted into the slots to fix the cultivation box.

[0010] This invention is further configured such that the fixing component includes a locking plate and a knob. Two sets of locking plates are provided at both ends of the side wall of the slide, and the locking plates are hinged to the slide. Two sets of knobs adapted to the locking plates are provided on the side wall of the cultivation box. The knobs and locking plates physically lock the cultivation box. When the cultivation box needs to be pulled out, rotating the knob unlocks the box, facilitating cleaning, leaf changing, and inspection by staff. When locked, it ensures that the cultivation box is fixed in position when pushed in.

[0011] This invention is further configured such that the protective mechanism includes a first protective net, locking blocks, locking hooks, and a second protective component. Two sets of the first protective net are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cultivation box.

The inner side wall of the support column 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 2 that extends through its height, providing a vertical sliding track for the height adjustment mechanism.

[0037] Each height adjustment mechanism mainly consists of a slide 3, a slider 4, and a first slide bar 5. The slide 3 is a platform that supports the cultivation box 6. Slides 4 are fixed on its two side walls, and first slide bars 5 extend from both sides of the sliders 4. The first slide bars 5 are precisely embedded in the first groove 2 on the inner side of the support column 1, so that the slide 3 can slide smoothly up and down on the support column 1 along the first groove 2. The equally spaced slots 9 provide multiple fixed positions. When the slide 3 is raised or lowered to the target height, the rotating plate 10 hinged to the lower end of the slide is manually flipped so that its end is inserted into the slot 9 of the support column 1 at the corresponding height. The engagement between the rotating plate 10 and the slot 9 forms a physical barrier to prevent the slide 3 from sliding down under the action of gravity or external force, thus achieving reliable fixation. The height of the cultivation box 6 is adjustable to flexibly adapt to the rearing of tussah silkworms at different stages. The cultivation box 6 contains a cultivation bag, and the tussah silkworms are placed on the cultivation bag for rearing.

[0038] When using the pull-out mechanism, when the cultivation box 6 is locked, the staff pushes the cultivation box 6 into place and then manually rotates the latch 11 hinged to the slide 3 to engage with the corresponding knob 12 on the side wall of the cultivation box 6. Rotating the knob 12 physically locks the cultivation box 6 to the slide 3. When pulling out the cultivation box 6, the staff can manually rotate the knob 12 to unlock it. The staff can then pull the handle 19, and the second slide bars 7 on both sides of the cultivation box 6 will slide along the second slide groove 8 to pull out the cultivation box 6 for operation, which is convenient for the staff to clean, change leaves, or check the condition of the silkworms.
