Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insect equipment technology, specifically relating to a lifting frame for a lifting structure used in black soldier fly breeding boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Black soldier flies, saprophytic insects of the family Markidae, 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 valuable resource insect alongside 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).

[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, the mechanized and automated breeding of black soldier fly larvae usually requires the use of lifting structures to raise and lower the breeding boxes. Existing lifting equipment directly raises and lowers the boxes by controlling the lifting box with a motor-driven chain, which easily causes impacts and vibrations during the lifting process, resulting in poor stability and safety. 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 lifting frame for a lifting structure of black soldier fly breeding boxes. By setting a counterweight component on the rear side of the frame, one end of the drive component is connected to the lifting carrier, and the other end of the drive component is connected to the counterweight component. The lifting carrier is used to place the black soldier fly breeding boxes. The drive component, in conjunction with the counterweight component, controls the lifting component to lift and lower. The counterweight component provides a reverse damping force to ensure a smooth and uniform lifting process, avoid mechanical damage to larvae caused by sudden rises and falls of the breeding boxes, eliminate the impact and vibration generated during the lifting process, greatly improve the stability and safety of the lifting process, and play a positive role in black soldier fly breeding.

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

[0007] A lifting frame for a black soldier fly larvae rearing box includes: a frame body; a drive assembly located at the top of the frame body; a lifting carrier for placing the rearing box, movably connected to the frame body; and a counterweight assembly movably connected to the rear side of the frame body. One end of the drive assembly is connected to the lifting carrier, and the other end is connected to the counterweight assembly. The drive assembly controls the lifting carrier to move up and down. This invention, by setting a counterweight assembly at the rear side of the frame body, connecting one end of the drive assembly to the lifting carrier, and the other end to the counterweight assembly, allows the lifting carrier to hold the black soldier fly larvae rearing box. The drive assembly, in conjunction with the counterweight assembly, controls the lifting assembly to move up and down. The counterweight assembly provides a reverse damping force, ensuring a smooth and uniform lifting process, avoiding mechanical damage to the larvae caused by sudden rises and falls of the rearing box, eliminating impacts and vibrations during lifting, and greatly improving the stability and safety of the lifting process, thus playing a positive role in black soldier fly larvae rearing.

[0008] Furthermore, the counterweight assembly includes a counterweight block, guide rails, and guide members. Guide members are located at both ends of the counterweight block, and guide rails are located on both sides of the frame corresponding to the counterweight block. The guide members are movably connected to the guide rails. Dynamic balance is achieved through the sliding engagement of the counterweight block and the guide rails. The weight of the counterweight block precisely matches the total load of the lifting vehicle and the breeding box, allowing the drive motor to achieve lifting only by overcoming friction, thus saving energy. The double-sided layout of the guide members effectively disperses the lateral sway stress of the counterweight block, improving lifting stability.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide component includes a fixed block, a mounting base, and limiting rollers. The fixed block is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the counterweight, and the mounting base is fixedly connected to the fixed block. Mounting plates are provided on both sides of the mounting base corresponding to the guide rail. The limiting rollers are rotatably connected to the mounting plates and abut against both sides of the guide rail. The symmetrical arrangement of the limiting rollers ensures that the guide rail is positioned between the two limiting rollers, improving the stability of the counterweight's lifting and lowering.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide component also includes a guide wheel, which is rotatably connected to the mounting base and rests against the end face of the guide rail. The guide wheel guides the lifting and lowering of the counterweight and increases the stability of the lifting and lowering of the counterweight.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a motor mounting base, a drive sprocket, and a chain. A fixed plate is located on the top of the frame, and the motor mounting base is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. The drive motor is also fixedly connected to the motor mounting base. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets. The drive sprocket is fixed to the rotating shaft, which is connected to the output end of the drive motor via a coupling. The chain meshes with the drive sprocket, with one end fixedly connected to the lifting vehicle and the other end fixedly connected to a counterweight. The drive motor controls the rotation of the drive sprocket, thereby driving the chain to lift and lower the vehicle. Combined with the counterweight, this achieves the lifting and lowering of the lifting vehicle.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a guide sprocket. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the frame corresponding to mounting bracket one. Mounting bracket two is fixedly connected to the bottom of fixing plate two. A rotating shaft two is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets two. The guide sprocket is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft two corresponding to the drive sprocket. The chain meshes with the guide sprocket. The guide sprocket guides the lifting transmission, improving transmission stability and efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, a limit rod assembly is installed at the bottom of the frame to limit the lifting vehicle. The limit rod assembly limits the travel of the lifting vehicle, preventing it from colliding with the frame.

[0014] This utility model, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention features a counterweight assembly at the rear of the frame. One end of the drive assembly is connected to the lifting carrier, and the other end is connected to the counterweight assembly. The lifting carrier holds the black soldier fly larvae rearing boxes. The drive assembly, in conjunction with the counterweight assembly, controls the lifting assembly to move up and down. The counterweight assembly provides a reverse damping force, ensuring a smooth and uniform lifting process. This avoids mechanical damage to the larvae caused by sudden rises and falls of the rearing boxes, eliminates the impact and vibration generated during the lifting process, and greatly improves the stability and safety of the lifting process, thus playing a positive role in black soldier fly larvae rearing.

[0016] The counterweight assembly in this invention includes a counterweight block, guide rails, and guide members. Guide members are provided at both ends of the counterweight block, and guide rails are provided on both sides of the frame corresponding to the counterweight block. The guide members are movably connected to the guide rails. Dynamic balance is achieved through the sliding engagement of the counterweight block and the guide rails.

The double-sided layout of the guide members effectively disperses the lateral sway stress of the counterweight block, improving lifting stability.

[0017] In this invention, the guide component includes a fixed block, a mounting base, and limiting rollers. The fixed block is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the counterweight, and the mounting base is fixedly connected to the fixed block. Mounting plates are provided on both sides of the mounting base corresponding to the guide rail. The limiting rollers are rotatably connected to the mounting plates and abut against both sides of the guide rail. The symmetrical arrangement of the limiting rollers ensures that the guide rail is positioned between the two limiting rollers, improving the stability of the counterweight's lifting and lowering.
