Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cockroach farming technology, specifically to a cockroach farming rack with adjustable shelf height. Background Technology
[0002] The American cockroach, also known as the American cockroach or fire ant, is the largest insect in the Blattidae family. It is the largest species of cockroach commonly found in households, typically measuring 27-32 mm in length. Its body is reddish-brown, and it has well-developed wings. A key characteristic that distinguishes the American cockroach from other cockroaches is a large, dark brown, butterfly-shaped spot on its pronotum, with a midline extending backward to form a small tail, and a small "T"-shaped spot in front of the midline.
[0003] Application No. CN202321027996.6 discloses a height-adjustable American cockroach breeding rack, including a base plate, with upright plates fixed to the top surface of the base plate near both ends. Guide grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the two upright plates. A horizontal plate is fixed between the two upright plates, and several placement plates are regularly arranged between the two upright plates. Several breeding boxes are fixed to the top surface of the placement plates. Movable blocks are fixed to the left and right surfaces of the upright plates. A guide block is fixed to the side of the movable block away from the placement plate on the same side, which is slidably connected to a groove on the surface of the upright plate on the same side. The rack also includes an adjustment mechanism. This utility model, by setting an adjustment mechanism, allows for the adjustment of the height of several breeding boxes. The height of several breeding boxes can be adjusted according to the different heights of the staff, eliminating the need for staff to bend over or stand on tiptoe, thus facilitating the feeding or observation of the growth status of the American cockroaches inside the breeding boxes.
[0004] Although the document mentioned above allows for adjusting the height of several breeding boxes according to the different heights of the staff, the breeding boxes are in a closed state during the breeding of American cockroaches, which makes it difficult to ventilate the boxes. This results in insufficient oxygen in the breeding boxes, which cannot meet the growth and metabolic needs of the American cockroaches. In order to address the above problems, the inventors have proposed an American cockroach breeding rack with adjustable layer height to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem of enclosed breeding boxes making ventilation difficult, this invention aims to provide an adjustable-height breeding rack for American cockroaches.

A connecting pipe is provided, and a diversion pipe is fixedly provided on one side of the vertical plate. The connecting pipe is fixedly provided inside the diversion pipe. An air outlet pipe is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the diversion pipe. A sealing gasket is fixedly provided on one side of the air outlet pipe. The sealing gasket can be attached to one side of the breeding box. The second filter screen is interconnected with the air outlet pipe. First, by turning on the motor, the bidirectional screw is rotated, which causes the two sets of moving plates to slide relative to each other in the frame. One end of the guide rod is hinged in the first fixed seat, and the other end is hinged in the second fixed seat. At the same time, the breeding frame body is driven to rise or fall, thereby adjusting the height of the breeding box. The staff can feed the American cockroaches without bending over or standing on tiptoe.
[0007] When ventilation is needed, move the breeding rack body, causing the connecting plate to slide within the support frame. Simultaneously, move the sliding plate, causing the pointer to point to the positioning plate, aligning the second filter screen horizontally with the air outlet pipe, and ensuring the sealing gasket is tightly fitted to one side of the breeding box. The second filter screen and the air outlet pipe are interconnected. Then, turn on the air pump, causing the air supply pipe to deliver air into the fixed pipe, and then from the connecting pipe into the distribution pipe, allowing it to be discharged from the air outlet pipe. The air is then delivered from the second filter screen into the breeding box, and finally discharged from the first filter screen. This ensures air circulation within the breeding box, facilitating ventilation and ensuring sufficient oxygen to meet the growth and metabolic needs of the American cockroach.
[0008] Preferably, connecting plates are fixedly provided on both sides of the breeding rack body, the connecting plates are slidably disposed in the support frame, the support frame is provided with a sliding groove, the connecting plates are slidably disposed in the sliding groove, a sliding plate is fixedly provided on one side of the connecting plate, pointers are fixedly provided on both sides of the sliding plate, and a positioning plate is fixedly provided on one side of the support frame.
[0009] Preferably, a motor is installed on one side of the support frame, and a bidirectional lead screw is fixedly provided at the output end of the motor. A movable plate is threaded onto the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw. A guide rod is hinged to the top surface of the movable plate, and the other end of the guide rod is hinged to the bottom end of the breeding rack body. A first fixed seat is fixedly provided on the top surface of the movable plate, and one end of the guide rod is hinged to the first fixed seat. A second fixed seat is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the breeding rack body, and the other end of the guide rod is hinged to the second fixed seat. A frame is fixedly provided on the top surface of the base plate, and the bidirectional lead screw is rotatably disposed within the frame. There are two sets of movable plates, and the two sets of movable plates are slidably disposed within the frame.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. The second filter is connected to the air outlet pipe. Air is then discharged from the air outlet pipe, then transported to the breeding box through the second filter, and then discharged through the first filter. This ensures air circulation in the breeding box, facilitates ventilation, and ensures sufficient oxygen in the breeding box to meet the growth and metabolic needs of the American cockroach.
[0012] 2. By turning on the motor, the bidirectional lead screw rotates, causing the two sets of moving plates to slide relative to each other within the frame. One end of the guide rod is hinged to the first fixed seat, and the other end is hinged to the second fixed seat. This simultaneously raises or lowers the breeding frame, thus adjusting the height of the breeding box. This allows staff to feed the American cockroaches without bending over or standing on tiptoe.
