Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is an insect breeding device, belonging to the field of insect breeding technology. Background Technology

[0002] The oviposition cycle of adult mealworms is relatively long, typically peaking within 10-30 days after emergence from pupa, and this peak period can last for approximately 10-30 days. Adult mealworms lay a large number of eggs, with each female laying approximately 350 eggs in her lifetime. During the peak oviposition period, eggs need to be collected every 3-4 days. When collecting eggs, care should be taken to protect adults that have not yet completed their oviposition cycle, allowing them to remain in the rearing box to continue laying eggs, thus improving the oviposition efficiency of adult mealworms. Furthermore, research indicates that shading and air circulation are also important factors affecting the oviposition efficiency of mealworms.

[0003] Publication number CN220986101U mentions an insect rearing device that facilitates the collection of eggs laid by adult mealworms. It also reduces light intensity in the incubator by using a light-blocking plate, increasing mealworm activity and shortening the breeding time. However, the device lacks any separation structure, resulting in some adult mealworms being removed along with the eggs, requiring manual sorting, which is cumbersome and affects the egg-laying efficiency of adult mealworms. There is an urgent need for an insect rearing device to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an insect breeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model adopts a downward pressure and rebound separation structure, which can quickly and effectively separate adult mealworms from their eggs. At the same time, it can also adjust the air circulation effect inside the breeding box according to environmental conditions and actual breeding situation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an insect rearing device, comprising a separating seat, a movable overlapping frame, a rearing box, and a removable box cover. The separating seat has a strip-shaped groove at its front end, with an opening slot in the middle. Return springs are longitudinally installed around the interior of the separating seat. The movable overlapping frame is located inside the separating seat and is horizontally installed on top of multiple return springs. An insect egg carrier plate is horizontally placed inside the movable overlapping frame. A pull-down ring is longitudinally fixed at the lower end of the movable overlapping frame. The rearing box is horizontally placed on top of the separating seat. A separating net is horizontally fixed at the lower end of the rearing box, with the lower end of the separating net movably attached to the insect egg carrier plate. The removable box cover is horizontally fastened to the upper end of the rearing box. A honeycomb hole is provided on the left side of the upper end of the removable box cover. An adjusting cover is movably mounted on the upper end of the honeycomb hole via a fixed shaft. Filter holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the rearing box.

[0006] Furthermore, support blocks are fixed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the separation seat.

[0007] Furthermore, a first magnet frame is fixed to the upper edge of the separation seat with epoxy resin, and a second magnet frame is fixed to the lower edge of the feeding box with epoxy resin, with the upper end of the first magnet frame attracting the second magnet frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the front end of the insect egg carrier plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the mesh size of the separating net is larger than that of wheat bran and insect eggs, and smaller than that of adult mealworms.

[0010] Furthermore, a lifting handle is installed on the upper end of the easy-open box cover.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an insect rearing device. Because it adds a separation seat, a return spring, a movable overlapping frame, a pull-down ring, an egg carrier plate, a rearing box, a separation net, honeycomb holes, and an easy-to-remove box cover, our design improvements and actual use have shown that this device has a reasonable structure and good practicality. The use of a pressure-rebound separation structure can quickly and effectively separate adult mealworms from their eggs. At the same time, the air circulation inside the rearing box can be adjusted according to environmental conditions and actual rearing situation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an insect rearing device, including a separating seat 2, a movable overlapping frame 7, a rearing box 11, and a removable box cover 17. The separating seat 2 has a strip-shaped groove 4 at its front end, with an opening groove 5 in the middle. Return springs 3 are longitudinally installed around the inside of the separating seat 2. The movable overlapping frame 7 is located inside the separating seat 2 and horizontally installed on top of multiple return springs 3. An insect egg carrier plate 9 is horizontally placed inside the movable overlapping frame 7. A pull-down ring 8 is longitudinally fixed at the lower end of the movable overlapping frame 7. The rearing box 11 is horizontally placed... At the upper end of the separation seat 2, a separation net 12 is horizontally fixed at the lower end of the rearing box 11, and the lower end of the separation net 12 is in contact with the egg carrier plate 9. The easy-to-remove box cover 17 is horizontally fastened to the upper end of the rearing box 11. A honeycomb hole 14 is opened on the left side of the upper end of the easy-to-remove box cover 17. An adjustment cover 16 is movably covered at the upper end of the honeycomb hole 14 through a fixed shaft. This design solves the problem that the original mealworm rearing device did not have any separation structure, and some adult mealworms were also taken out when the eggs were taken out, which required manual sorting and affected the egg-laying efficiency of adult mealworms.

[0019] As the first embodiment of this utility model: support blocks 1 are fixed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the separation seat 2. A first magnet frame 6 is fixed to the upper end of the four edges of the separation seat 2 by epoxy resin. A second magnet frame 13 is fixed to the lower end of the four edges of the feeding box 11 by epoxy resin. The upper end of the first magnet frame 6 and the second magnet frame 13 are attracted to each other. By adding the upper end of the first magnet frame 6 and the second magnet frame 13, it is convenient to fix the feeding box 11 to the separation seat 2.

[0020] The egg carrier plate 9 has a locking groove 10 at its front end, which facilitates the removal of the egg carrier plate 9 by the breeder. The mesh size of the separation net 12 is larger than that of wheat bran and insect eggs, and smaller than that of adult mealworms. As the egg carrier plate 9 moves downward, it can intercept adult mealworms and quickly and effectively separate them from the eggs. The easy-open box cover 17 is equipped with a lifting handle 15 at its top, which facilitates the opening of the easy-open box cover 17. Filter mesh holes are provided on both sides of the breeding box 11 to increase air convection.

[0021] As a second embodiment of this utility model: In actual use, the easy-to-open box cover 17 is opened, and then the adult mealworms that have emerged are placed in the feeding box 11 and fed with wheat bran. After feeding for a period of time, they lay their eggs in the wheat bran above the egg carrier plate 9 and the separation net 12. By pulling down the pull ring 8 through the opening groove 5, the movable overlapping frame 7 can be driven to press down multiple return springs 3, which will also drive the egg carrier plate 9 to move down. During this process, since the mesh size of the separation net 12 is larger than that of the wheat bran and the eggs, and the mesh size of the separation net 12 is smaller than that of the adult mealworms, when the egg carrier plate 9 moves down, it can intercept the adult mealworms until the egg carrier plate 9 moves to the back of the strip pull groove 4. Then, the feeder can pull out the egg carrier plate 9 through the strip pull groove 4 for disposal.

[0022] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
