Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of earthworm farming technology, and in particular to a farming device to prevent earthworms from escaping. Background Technology
[0002] The main purpose of existing earthworm farming equipment is to provide earthworms with a safe and controllable growth environment to achieve efficient and stable earthworm farming. By preventing earthworms from escaping, the number of earthworms raised can be kept stable, and losses caused by earthworm escape can be avoided.
[0003] However, the lack of dynamic soil rotation during use can lead to uneven earthworm distribution and soil compaction. Specific problems include: Earthworms have a natural tendency to migrate downwards (they prefer to migrate to dark, moist, and loose lower soil layers). In traditional static breeding boxes, earthworms gradually gather at the bottom (because the bottom is usually more moist and richer in organic matter). The upper soil layer (near the top) lacks earthworm activity, resulting in: slow decomposition of organic matter, low nutrient utilization, decreased soil microbial activity, and impact on earthworm food sources. The lower soil layer, due to excessive earthworm concentration, may experience: overcrowding, restricted earthworm activity, reduced metabolic efficiency, intensified competition for local resources (such as oxygen and food), and even earthworm escape or death. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a breeding device that prevents earthworms from escaping. By using a flip-up structure to force earthworm migration and soil rotation, it solves the problems of uneven earthworm distribution, soil compaction, and low decomposition efficiency of organic matter in existing equipment, and achieves efficient ecological breeding.
[0005] This utility model also provides a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping, comprising: a support frame, two sets of slide rails fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support frame, a slider slidably connected to the inner surface of each set of slide rails, a rotating block rotatably connected to the inner surface of the slider, a breeding box fixedly connected between the two rotating blocks, a breeding box having multiple ventilation holes, a protective net fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation holes, and feeding ports at the top and bottom of the breeding box, with sealing covers movably connected to the inner wall of the feeding ports. Through these components, and by the sliders cooperating with the slide rails, the breeding box can be raised and detached from the support frame. After being separated, the breeding box can rotate half a turn and then descend under the action of the rotating block. After the rotation, the soil will change positions, and the upper layer of soil will become the lower layer. The earthworms in the lower layer will be brought to the top, but due to their tendency to descend, they will actively migrate downwards to the soil layer that was originally located at the top. As the earthworms migrate downwards, they will actively loosen the soil, avoiding long-term compaction and helping to keep the soil loose. After each flip, the earthworms will redistribute, forming a cycle from the upper layer to the lower layer, preventing earthworms from being concentrated in one layer of soil for a long time, and improving the utilization rate of soil and space. The fully enclosed breeding box with ventilation holes can prevent earthworms from escaping.
[0006] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping is provided, wherein an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting frame, and the upper end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slider.
[0007] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping is provided, wherein a turntable is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating block, and the turntable is provided with anti-slip grooves.
[0008] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping is provided, wherein a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide rail, and the slider is movably connected to the limiting plate.
[0009] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping has a frame that runs through the side surface of the breeding box, and a transparent glass is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame.
[0010] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping is provided, wherein both the breeding box and the sealing cover are provided with screw holes, and the inner wall of the screw holes is rotatably connected with a fixing bolt.
[0011] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping is provided, wherein a pad is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the supporting frame, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the pad.
[0012] According to the present invention, a breeding device for preventing earthworms from escaping is provided, wherein a bracket is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft, and a rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the bracket.
[0013] Beneficial effects: This technical solution for an earthworm breeding device prevents earthworms from escaping. Through a slider and sliding rail, the breeding box can rise and detach from the supporting frame. After detachment, the breeding box rotates half a turn under the action of a rotating block and then descends. After rotation, the soil layers change position, with the upper layer becoming the lower layer. Earthworms from the lower layer are brought to the top, but due to their tendency to descend, they actively migrate downwards back to the original top layer. As the earthworms migrate downwards, they actively loosen the soil, preventing long-term compaction and maintaining soil looseness. After each rotation, the earthworms redistribute, forming a cycle from upper to lower layers, preventing earthworms from concentrating in a single layer of soil for extended periods, thus improving soil and space utilization. The fully enclosed breeding box combined with ventilation holes prevents earthworms from escaping. Attached Figure Description
