Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insect equipment technology, and in particular relates to a handling mechanism for a lifting structure of a black soldier fly breeding box. Background Technology

[0002] Black soldier flies, saprophytic insects of the family Stray Fly, feed on livestock manure and household waste, producing high-value animal protein feed. Due to their rapid reproduction, large biomass, wide diet, high absorption and conversion rate, ease of management, low feeding costs, and good palatability, they are widely utilized as a resource. Their larvae are known as "phoenix worms," ​​making them a resource insect on par with fly larvae, mealworms, and superworms, and they have been promoted worldwide. Native to the Americas, they are widely distributed globally (between 40 degrees north and south latitude). In recent years, they have been introduced to my country and are now widely distributed in Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Shanghai, Yunnan, Taiwan, Hunan, Hubei, and other regions. They are widely used in the treatment of chicken manure, pig manure, and kitchen waste.

[0003] There are currently two methods for black soldier fly farming. One is artificial farming, mainly using pond, box, and barrel rearing methods. Workers operate between simple rearing racks, which creates a foul-smelling environment, is inefficient, and cannot be used for large-scale production. The other method is mechanized and automated equipment, but the existing equipment is complex in structure, has cumbersome processes, is costly, and is inconvenient to maintain and repair.

[0004] In existing technologies, mechanical and automated breeding of black soldier flies typically requires the use of lifting structures to raise and lower the breeding boxes. However, existing lifting devices are prone to the breeding boxes falling off during the lifting process, and they cannot automatically push the breeding boxes out after the lifting is completed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a transport mechanism for a lifting structure of a black soldier fly breeding box. When the breeding box is placed in the carrier body, the design of the anti-fall component locks the breeding box and limits its position, preventing the breeding box from falling off during the lifting process. At the same time, when the breeding box is lifted to the appropriate position, the drive component drives the push component to move, and the push component lifts up the anti-fall component and releases the breeding box, so that the breeding box can be smoothly pushed out.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A transport mechanism for lifting a black soldier fly larvae breeding box is characterized by comprising a drive component, a push component, and an anti-drop component. The drive component is installed in the carrier body, and the push component is connected to the drive component. The drive component drives the push component to move and push the breeding box. The anti-drop component is installed in the push component, and the push component pushes the anti-drop component to move up and down. The anti-drop component is used to lock the breeding box. When the breeding box is placed in the carrier body, the design of the anti-drop component locks the breeding box, preventing it from falling off during the lifting process. At the same time, when the breeding box is lifted to the appropriate position, the drive component drives the push component to move, and the push component lifts the anti-drop component and releases the breeding box, so that the breeding box can be smoothly pushed out.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a threaded rod, and a moving block. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on a motor mounting base. The threaded rod is connected to the output end of the drive motor via a coupling and is rotatably mounted on a shaft mounting base. The moving block is mounted on the threaded rod and connected to the jacking assembly. The use of the threaded rod and moving block in a mating structure ensures precise and reliable transmission, accurately converting the rotational motion of the drive motor into the linear displacement of the moving block. This enables precise control of the moving distance and speed of the jacking assembly, ensuring the stability of the jacking operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate, and the slider is fixedly mounted on the jacking assembly. The jacking assembly moves along the slide rail via the slider. The arrangement of the slide rail and slider provides stable and reliable linear guidance and support for the movement of the jacking assembly, effectively preventing the jacking assembly from deviating, shaking, or jamming during movement. This significantly improves the smoothness, accuracy, and service life of the mechanism and reduces maintenance requirements.

[0010] Furthermore, the jacking assembly includes a jacking plate and a connecting plate. The jacking plate and the connecting plate are fixedly connected. The connecting plate is connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the connecting plate to move, thereby causing the jacking plate to jack the breeding box. A stabilizing component is installed between the jacking plate and the connecting plate to increase the installation strength between the connecting plate and the jacking plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-fall-off component includes a mounting plate, a connector, a snap-fit ​​tongue, and a fixing plate. The snap-fit ​​tongue is rotatably mounted in the mounting plate and is used to lock the breeding box. The connector is fixedly connected to the mounting plate and is liftably mounted in the fixing plate. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the carrier body.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector is equipped with a movable roller, and the push assembly is equipped with a protrusion. The protrusion abuts against the movable roller. When the push assembly moves, the protrusion pushes the movable roller to move along the surface of the protrusion and drives the connector to rise and fall. The cooperative design of the movable roller and the protrusion cleverly transforms the horizontal linear motion of the push assembly into the rising and falling motion of the connector in an efficient and low-friction manner, thereby driving the locking tongue to rise and fall, ensuring the timeliness and consistency of the release action of the anti-detachment assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixed plate is provided with a lifting through hole, and the connector is installed in the lifting through hole. The connector is provided with a limiting step, which is used to limit the connector. The lifting through hole plays a precise guiding role in the movement of the connector, ensuring that the connector can only be raised and lowered vertically in the set direction to prevent tilting and jamming. The design of the limiting step effectively limits the extreme position of the connector's descent and prevents the connector from descending excessively.

[0014] Furthermore, one side of the snap-fit ​​tongue is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface. The design of the arc-shaped guide surface greatly facilitates the placement of the breeding box. When the breeding box is placed, its edge will first contact the arc-shaped guide surface. The arc-shaped guide surface can naturally guide the edge of the breeding box to slide in and be effectively hooked by the snap-fit ​​tongue, which improves work efficiency and reduces impact damage to the box.

[0015] This utility model, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. When the breeding box is placed in the carrier body, the design of the anti-drop component locks the breeding box, preventing it from falling off during the lifting process. At the same time, when the breeding box is lifted to the appropriate position, the drive component drives the push component to move, and the push component lifts up the anti-drop component and releases the breeding box, so that the breeding box can be pushed out smoothly.

[0017] 2. The design of the moving roller and the protrusion cleverly transforms the horizontal linear motion of the pushing component into the lifting motion of the connecting part with high efficiency and low friction, thereby driving the locking tongue to rise and fall, ensuring the timeliness and consistency of the release action of the anti-drop component.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model discloses a transport mechanism for a lifting structure of a black soldier fly breeding box. The transport mechanism is installed in a carrier body 2, which is movably connected to a lifting frame 1. The transport mechanism includes a drive assembly 4, a pushing assembly 5, and an anti-falling assembly 6. The drive assembly 4 is installed in the carrier body 2 via a mounting base plate 7, which is fixedly connected to the carrier body 2. The drive assembly 4 is mounted on the mounting base plate 7. The pushing assembly 5 is connected to the drive assembly 4. The drive assembly 4 drives the pushing assembly 5 to move and push the breeding box 3, thereby pushing the breeding box 3 out of the carrier body 2. The anti-drop component 6 is installed in the push component 5. The push component 5 pushes the anti-drop component 6 to rise and fall. The anti-drop component 6 is used to lock the breeding box 3. When the breeding box 3 is placed in the carrier body 2, the design of the anti-drop component 6 locks the breeding box 3, preventing the breeding box 3 from falling off during the lifting and lowering process. At the same time, when the breeding box 3 is raised and lowered to the appropriate position, the drive component 4 drives the push component 5 to move, and the push component 5 lifts the anti-drop component 6 and releases the breeding box 3, so that the breeding box 3 can be pushed out smoothly.

[0029] Drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, a threaded rod 42, a moving block 43, a slide rail 47, and a slider 48. The drive motor 41 is fixedly mounted on a motor mounting base 44, which is fixedly mounted on a mounting base plate 7. The threaded rod 42 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 41 via a coupling 45, and the drive motor 41 drives the threaded rod 42 to rotate. Both ends of the threaded rod 42 are rotatably mounted on a rotating shaft mounting base 46. The moving block 43 is mounted on the threaded rod 42 and is connected to a connecting plate 52 in the push assembly 5. The slide rail 47 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 7, and the slider 48 is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 52 of the push assembly 5. The drive motor 41 drives the moving block 43 along the threaded rod. When rod 42 moves, moving block 43 drives the jacking assembly 5 to move. During the movement of the jacking assembly 5, slider 48 moves along slide rail 47. The combination of threaded rod 42 and moving block 43 ensures precise and reliable transmission, accurately converting the rotational motion of drive motor 41 into the linear displacement of moving block 43. This achieves precise control over the moving distance and speed of jacking assembly 5, ensuring the stability of the jacking. The slide rail 47 and slider 48 provide stable and reliable linear guidance and support for the movement of jacking assembly 5, effectively preventing the jacking assembly 5 from deviating, shaking, or jamming during movement. This significantly improves the smoothness, accuracy, and service life of the mechanism, and reduces maintenance requirements.

[0030] The pushing assembly 5 includes a pushing plate 51, a connecting plate 52, and a protrusion 54. The pushing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 52, and the connecting plate 52 is connected to the driving assembly 4. A stabilizing member 53 is installed between the pushing plate 51 and the connecting plate 52. The design of the stabilizing member 53 greatly enhances the structural strength and rigidity between the connecting plate 52 and the pushing plate 51, effectively resisting the reaction force and bending moment generated when pushing the breeding box 3, and preventing the pushing assembly 5 from deforming. The protrusion 54 is installed at both ends of the connecting plate 52. The protrusion 54 is trapezoidal and abuts against the anti-dropping assembly 6. The driving assembly 4 drives the connecting plate 52 to move and drive the pushing plate 51 to push the breeding box 3. At the same time, during the pushing process, the trapezoidal protrusion 54 will lift the anti-dropping assembly 6, so that the anti-dropping assembly 6 releases the breeding box 3, ensuring that the breeding box 3 can be pushed out smoothly.

[0031] The anti-fall-off component 6 includes a mounting plate 61, a connector 62, a snap-fit ​​tongue 63, and a fixing plate 64. The snap-fit ​​tongue 63 is rotatably mounted in the mounting plate 61 and is used to lock the breeding box 3. The connector 62 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 61 and is vertically and vertically inserted into the fixing plate 64. One end of the connector 62 abuts against the protrusion 54 in the push-up component 5. The fixing plate 64 is fixedly connected to the carrier body 2.

[0032] The latching tongue 63 is designed to swing in one direction. When the breeding box 3 is placed into the carrier body 2, the breeding box 3 squeezes the latching tongue 63, causing the latching tongue 63 to rotate and allowing the breeding box 3 to smoothly enter the carrier body 2. Then, the latching tongue 63 returns to its original position under the action of gravity, thereby locking the breeding box 3 and preventing it from falling off. One side of the latching tongue 63 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 68. The design of the arc-shaped guide surface 68 greatly facilitates the placement of the breeding box 3. When the breeding box 3 is placed, its edge will first contact the arc-shaped guide surface 68. The arc-shaped guide surface 68 can naturally guide the edge of the breeding box 3 to slide in and be effectively hooked by the latching tongue 63, improving work efficiency and reducing impact damage to the box.

[0033] The connector 62 is equipped with a movable roller 65. The connector 62 abuts against the protrusion 54 through the movable roller 65. The protrusion 54 moves with the pushing component 5. During the movement of the pushing component 5, the trapezoidal protrusion 54 pushes the movable roller 65 to move along the surface of the protrusion 54, thereby driving the connector 62 to rise and fall. When the connector 62 rises, it will drive the locking tongue 63 to rise, so that the locking tongue 63 releases the breeding box 3, ensuring that the pushing component 5 can smoothly push out the breeding box 3. The cooperative design of the movable roller 65 and the protrusion 54 cleverly transforms the horizontal linear motion of the pushing component 5 into the rising and falling motion of the connector 62 with high efficiency and low friction, thereby driving the locking tongue 63 to rise and fall, ensuring the timeliness and consistency of the release action of the anti-drop component 6.

[0034] The fixed plate 64 is provided with a lifting through hole 66, and the connector 62 is installed in the lifting through hole 66. The connector 62 is provided with a limiting step 67, which is used to limit the connector 62. The lifting through hole 66 plays a precise guiding role in the movement of the connector 62, ensuring that the connector 62 can only be lifted and lowered vertically in the set direction, preventing it from tilting and getting stuck. When the push assembly 5 pushes out the breeding box 3, the protrusion 54 will briefly separate from the moving roller 65, and the connector 62 will fall downward under the action of gravity. The design of the limiting step 67 effectively limits the extreme position of the connector 62's descent, preventing the connector 62 from falling excessively.

[0035] In use, the breeding box 3 is first inserted into the carrier body 2 and secured by the snap-fit ​​tongue 63 to prevent it from falling off during the lifting process. When the carrier body 2 lifts the breeding box 3 to the designated position, the push component 5 is driven to move by the drive component 4. During the movement of the push component 5, the anti-fall component 6 is lifted by the protrusion 54, which in turn causes the snap-fit ​​tongue 63 to release the breeding box 3, allowing the breeding box 3 to be smoothly pushed out by the push component 5.

[0036] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
