Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect breeding technology, and in particular to a breeding device for natural enemies of garden pests. Background Technology

[0002] The stability and sustainable development of garden ecology largely depend on the effective control of pest populations. Compared with traditional chemical pesticides, biological control using natural enemies of pests such as ladybugs, lacewings, parasitic wasps, and Trichogramma wasps has many advantages, such as less pollution, lower residues, and no risk of inducing pesticide resistance in pests. It is an important direction for green prevention and control of pests and diseases in modern gardens. At present, the artificial breeding of natural enemy insects to achieve large-scale breeding and planned release has gradually become a key link in the horticulture, forestry, and agricultural systems.

[0003] However, existing breeding devices for natural enemy insects still have many technical shortcomings in practical applications:

[0004] First, most devices lack effective insect classification and grouping structures, making it difficult to manage insects at different developmental stages or with significant size differences in an orderly manner. For example, some smaller insects are easily squeezed and disturbed by larger individuals in the breeding environment, leading to a deterioration of the growth environment and even an increase in mortality. In addition, the lack of targeted separation mechanisms makes insect collection and release cumbersome, makes species control difficult, and limits the precise release of natural enemy insects.

[0005] Secondly, existing devices generally lack active cleaning mechanisms for insect excrement and other waste. Prolonged use can easily lead to the accumulation of feces and a damp environment inside the box, which in turn can induce the growth of bacteria and the spread of odors. This is not conducive to maintaining a clean and hygienic breeding environment. Especially under high-density breeding conditions, the problem of feces and residue accumulation is even more prominent. Without an automatic or convenient cleaning mechanism, it is very easy to cause a decline in the quality of the insect's living environment, and in severe cases, it may even affect the breeding success rate of the entire batch.

[0006] Furthermore, we disclose a breeding device for natural enemies of garden pests to meet the practical needs of existing technologies that still have considerable room for improvement in terms of insect separation and management and environmental hygiene maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a breeding device for natural enemies of garden pests, so as to solve the problem that there is still much room for improvement in the existing technology in terms of insect separation and management and environmental hygiene maintenance.

[0008] Based on the above objectives, this utility model provides a breeding device for natural enemies of garden pests, including a handcart. A breeding box is fixedly connected to the upper end of the handcart. A viewing glass is installed at the front end of the breeding box. Dividing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper middle part of the inner wall of the breeding box. Multiple drilling tubes are provided on the same side end face of the two dividing plates. The size of the drilling tube on one side of the dividing plate is larger than the size of the drilling tube on the other side of the dividing plate. The drilling tubes have a back-and-forth structure and are used to separate the insects inside according to their size. Baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the middle part of the inner wall of the breeding box at the lower end of the dividing plates. A cleaning component is provided at the lower end of the breeding box for cleaning the insect excrement.

[0009] Preferably, the drilling cylinder is fixedly connected to the dividing plate, and the drilling cylinder is hollow, with multiple check plates fixedly connected at even intervals on one side end face of the drilling cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the incubator is rotatably connected with multiple flip-top covers at even intervals.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning roller disposed at the lower end between two baffles. Both ends of the cleaning roller are rotatably connected to the incubation box. Multiple crosses are fixedly connected at even intervals on the inner wall of the cleaning roller, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the multiple crosses.

[0012] Preferably, a mounting frame is fixedly connected to one corner of one side end face of the incubator, a servo motor is mounted on one side end face of the mounting frame, the output end of the servo motor passes through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to a drive gear, a driven gear is meshed with one side end face of the drive gear, and one end of the rotating rod passes through the incubator and is fixedly connected to the middle of the driven gear.

[0013] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the inner wall of the incubator, one end of the scraper is in contact with the cleaning roller, and a collection box is slidably connected to the lower end of one side of the incubator.

[0014] Preferably, the lower ends of the two baffles and the lower ends of the two dividing plates are in contact with the outer wall of the cleaning roller.

[0015] Preferably, a handle and a feed pipe for dispensing nutrients are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the flip-top cover.

[0016] Preferably, the scraper is inclined and located at the upper end of the collection box.

[0017] Preferably, the check plate is made of an elastic material, and the overall shape of the plurality of check plates is conical, with rounded corners at the outer corners of the check plate.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This breeding device for natural enemies of garden pests, by setting up drilling tubes with different diameters and check valves, realizes automatic grouping and classification management of natural enemies of garden pests. This design effectively solves the problem of insect mixing and difficulty in accurate release caused by the lack of separation devices in the existing technology, improves the scientific nature and efficiency of breeding, ensures that insects of different sizes and species can be bred separately in a suitable environment, and enhances the effect of biological control.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a breeding device for natural enemies of garden pests includes a handcart 2, with a breeding box 1 fixedly connected to the upper end of the handcart 2. A viewing glass is installed at the front end of the breeding box 1. Dividing plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper middle section of the inner wall of the breeding box 1. Multiple drilling tubes 15 are provided on the same side of both dividing plates 5. The size of the drilling tube 15 on one dividing plate 5 is larger than that on the other dividing plate 5. The drilling tubes 15 have a backflow prevention structure and are used to separate the insects inside according to size. Baffles 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the middle section of the inner wall of the breeding box 1 at the lower end of the dividing plates 5. A cleaning component is provided at the lower end of the breeding box 1 for cleaning insect excrement.

[0032] The device includes a breeding box 1 mounted on a handcart 2. It has a compact structure and high functional integration, making it suitable for outdoor mobile breeding. The device has a dividing plate 5 and a drilling cylinder 15 inside. The drilling cylinder 15 has a backflow prevention structure and is equipped with different diameters to achieve automatic grouping and classification management based on the size of the insects, effectively improving the breeding accuracy. The upper end is equipped with multiple flip-top covers 3 and a feeding pipe for easy daily observation, local feeding, and environmental adjustment. The lower end of the breeding box 1 is equipped with a cleaning component, including a rotating cleaning roller 6, a cross 8 linkage structure, a servo drive system, and a scraper 9 and a collection box 10 that work together to efficiently and automatically clean insect excrement and residue, maintaining a good breeding environment. The device is highly portable, has scientific grouping management, and high cleaning efficiency. It is suitable for the centralized large-scale breeding and pre-release preparation of natural enemies of garden pests.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the drilling cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the dividing plate 5. The drilling cylinder 15 is hollow. Multiple check plates 16 are fixedly connected at even intervals on one side end face of the drilling cylinder 15. The check plates 16 are made of elastic material, and the overall shape of the multiple check plates 16 is conical. The corners of the outer wall of the check plates 16 are rounded.

[0034] The structure mainly includes a hollow drilling cylinder 15 mounted on the dividing plate 5 and multiple check plates 16 evenly spaced along its length inside. This allows for the zoning and unidirectional management of predatory insects based on their size. Specifically, the drilling cylinder 15 is a hollow cylindrical structure with one end open and communicating with the dividing plate 5, used to guide insects from one side of the divided area to the other. Multiple check plates 16 are evenly spaced along the axial direction inside the drilling cylinder 15. These check plates 16 are conical in shape, with the tips pointing in the direction of passage. They are made of elastic material, possessing a certain degree of deformability and resilience. Each check plate 16 has a through hole or staggered slits of a defined size in its center. During the drilling process, insects must rely on their size and mobility to pass through this conical channel. Smaller insects can easily pass through the check plates 16. The through-holes or slits of section 6 allow insects to enter the next spatial area; however, larger insects, whose size exceeds the allowable range of the through-holes, cannot continue to move forward and are blocked in the previous section. By setting drilling tubes 15 of different diameters on the left and right dividing plates 5, it is possible to achieve screening and transfer according to the size of the insects, forming an effective spatial grouping. In addition, the conical structure of the check plate 16, combined with its elastic properties, also has a certain "one-way check" function. When an insect enters from the entrance end and passes through the conical structure, if it tries to return, it will be difficult to pass back due to the increased resistance of the cone, the pressure of the elastic wall, or the closing effect of the slits. This achieves one-way control, allowing insects to enter from one end and not return from the other end. This structure enables non-contact automatic sorting and zoned rearing, effectively improving the efficiency of breeding management and reducing the cost of manual intervention.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the incubation box 1 is rotatably connected with multiple flip covers 3 at even intervals. The upper end face of the flip cover 3 is fixedly connected with a handle and a feed pipe for feeding nutrients.

[0036] The flip-top cover 3 is a set of rotatable opening cover structures located on the upper end of the incubation box 1. Multiple flip-top covers 3 are evenly spaced along the upper surface of the incubation box 1 and are rotatably connected to the upper end of the incubation box 1 via a hinge structure, allowing them to switch between open and closed states around the hinge axis. Each flip-top cover 3 has an operating handle fixedly connected to the center of its upper end face for easy manual opening or closing. Furthermore, a feed pipe is vertically installed on the upper end face of the flip-top cover 3, with its inlet facing upwards, passing through the flip-top cover 3 and extending below it. The lower end of the feed pipe leads into the interior of the incubation box 1 for directly placing nutrients or bait into designated areas inside. The function of this structure is that, by setting multiple independently openable flip-top covers 3, it not only facilitates operators to check the growth of insects in different locations within the box during daily management, but also allows for localized treatment of designated areas as needed. This design allows for partial feeding, avoiding the risk of insects being startled or escaping from opening the box lid all at once. Simultaneously, the feed pipe enables rapid, targeted, and safe feeding of nutrients such as sugar solution, pollen, or hydrogel into the box without fully opening the lid, improving the device's airtightness and management efficiency. During operation, users can grasp the handle to flip open a specific flip-top 3 according to their observation or management plan, using the opening for internal cleaning, ventilation, or environmental observation. If feeding is needed, nutrients can be poured directly into the feed pipe, falling into the target area within the rearing box 1 under gravity. The entire process avoids significant disruption to the internal environment, making it particularly suitable for managing easily startled, sensitive, or periodically separated natural enemy insects. This structure integrates localized observation, precise feeding, and airtight rearing, enhancing the device's ease of use and rearing safety.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning roller 6 positioned at the lower end between two baffles 4. Both ends of the cleaning roller 6 are rotatably connected to the incubator 1. Multiple crossbars 8 are evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning roller 6. A rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of each crossbar 8. A mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to one corner of one side end face of the incubator 1. A servo motor 13 is mounted on one side end face of the mounting frame 14. The output end of the servo motor 13 passes through the mounting frame 14 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 12. One end face of the driven gear 12 is meshed with the driven gear 11. One end of the rotating rod 7 passes through the incubation box 1 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the driven gear 11. A scraper 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the inner wall of the incubation box 1. One end of the scraper 9 is in contact with the cleaning roller 6, and the scraper 9 is inclined. A collection box 10 is slidably connected to the lower end of one side of the incubation box 1. The scraper 9 is located at the upper end of the collection box 10. The lower ends of the two baffles 4 and the lower ends of the two dividing plates 5 are in contact with the outer wall of the cleaning roller 6.

[0038] The cleaning component is located at the bottom of the cultivation box 1 and is used for efficient and automated cleaning of feces and other impurities produced by predatory insects during the cultivation process, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment inside the box. This component mainly includes a cleaning roller 6, a rotating rod 7, a drive mechanism, a scraper 9, and a collection box 10. Specifically, the cleaning roller 6 is a hollow cylinder arranged laterally along the cultivation box 1. Its two ends are rotatably connected to the side wall of the cultivation box 1 via bearing structures, allowing it to rotate around its own axis. Multiple crosses 8 are evenly spaced axially within the inner cavity of the cleaning roller 6, forming a cross shape. A rotating rod 7, penetrating the axis of the cleaning roller 6, is fixedly connected at its center. The rotating rod 7 transmits power to the crosses 8, generating thrust on the inner wall of the cleaning roller 6, thereby driving the cleaning roller 6 to rotate. The cleaning roller 6 rotates in a step-by-step manner, meaning that the rotation is not directly driven by the rotating rod 7, but is achieved through an internal linkage structure called the cross 8. The driving part includes a mounting bracket 14 located at one corner of the incubator 1, on which a servo motor 13 is mounted. The output shaft of the servo motor 13 passes through the mounting bracket 14 and is fixedly connected to the drive gear 12. The drive gear 12 meshes with the driven gear 11 located at the end of the rotating rod 7. When the motor is powered on, the drive gear 12 drives the driven gear 11 to rotate, thereby rotating the rotating rod 7, and further driving the cross 8 and the cleaning roller 6 to rotate, thus achieving effective power transmission. The outer wall of the cleaning roller 6 is in close contact with the incubator. 1. The bottom area has several grooves or reinforcing strips on its surface to enhance the adhesion of impurities such as feces or detached feed residue. Below this area is a scraper 9, which is a long strip structure. One end is fixed to the inner wall of the incubator 1, and the other end is linearly attached to the outer wall of the cleaning roller 6 at a certain angle. As the cleaning roller 6 rotates, impurities adhering to its outer surface are continuously scraped off by the scraper 9 and slide down along the scraper 9 under gravity into the collection box 10 below. The collection box 10 is slidably connected to the lower outer side of the incubator 1 for easy periodic removal and cleaning. To prevent impurities from leaking out or to clean blind spots, two... The lower edges of the baffle 4 and the two dividing plates 5 are all in contact with the outer wall of the cleaning roller 6, forming a closed enclosure structure. This ensures that all insect excrement and other falling debris are within the cleaning coverage of the cleaning roller 6. During operation, the servo motor 13 can be started and stopped by a timer set by the program or manually controlled. When cleaning, the motor drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the cross 8 to rotate. The cross 8 pushes the cleaning roller 6 to rotate. During the rotation of the roller, the waste adhering to its surface is scraped off by the scraper 9 and slides into the collection box 10, realizing the automatic removal of feces, avoiding frequent manual intervention, and improving the hygiene stability and operating efficiency of the cultivation device.
