[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Example
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a ladybug culture tube storage rack, including a culture box structure 1 and a culture tube storage rack structure 4. The culture box structure 1 includes a box body 101, and a partition plate 102 is movably attached to the inner wall of the box body 101. The partition plate 102 divides the inner cavity of the box body 101 into a culture cavity and an electrical cavity.
[0030] An observation window 2 is hinged to the front side of the housing 101, and a photovoltaic device 3 is installed at the top of the housing 101.
[0031] To improve cultivation efficiency, an observation window 2 is provided on the top of the box 101. The observation window 2 is made of transparent material, which makes it easy for users to observe the cultivation status of ladybugs without opening the box 101.
[0032] Meanwhile, in order to make full use of solar energy resources and reduce energy consumption, this embodiment also installs a photovoltaic device 3 on the top of the housing 101. The photovoltaic device 3 is electrically connected to the built-in power supply 113 and can convert solar energy into electrical energy for the use of the equipment.
[0033] The photovoltaic device 3 includes a photovoltaic panel and a solar controller. The photovoltaic panel is used to absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, while the solar controller is used to control the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel to ensure a stable power supply to the built-in power source 113, thereby achieving a green, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving cultivation environment.
[0034] The inner wall of the cultivation chamber is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor 108, a humidifier 109, a micro compressor 110, a drive motor 114, and an electric heater 111. The drive motor 114 and the electric heater 111 are fixedly installed on the top of the partition plate 102.
[0035] The electrical cavity contains a processor 112 and a built-in power supply 113, with the processor 112 located in front of the built-in power supply 113.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the front of the housing 101 is provided with a touch screen 103, a control panel 104 and a counter 105, the side of the housing 101 is provided with a ventilation fan 106, and the back of the housing 101 is provided with a connector 107.
[0037] Specifically, the touch screen 103 is used to display parameters such as temperature and humidity, ladybug cultivation time, etc. inside the incubation box structure 1, so that users can intuitively understand the cultivation status.
[0038] The control panel 104 provides a series of operation buttons, allowing users to set breeding parameters and start or stop the equipment.
[0039] Counter 105 is used to record the number of ladybug breeding attempts or the time taken, helping users to better manage the breeding process.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the touch screen 103, control panel 104, counter 105, ventilation fan 106, temperature and humidity sensor 108, humidifier 109, micro compressor 110, drive motor 114, and electric heater 111 are all electrically connected to the processor 112. The processor 112 is electrically connected to the built-in power supply 113, and the built-in power supply 113 is electrically connected to the connector 107.
[0041] Specifically, the processor 112, as the control center of the entire system, is responsible for receiving signals from the touch screen 103, the control panel 104, and various sensors, processing these signals according to the preset program logic, and then issuing control commands to the corresponding actuators, such as adjusting the temperature and humidity, starting or stopping the humidifier 109 and the electric heater 111, to ensure that the cultivation environment is always in the best condition.
[0042] Temperature and humidity are monitored in real time using a temperature and humidity sensor 108 to ensure that ladybugs are in the most suitable growth environment.
[0043] When the humidity inside the cultivation chamber is too high, the processor 112 will control the humidifier 109 to stop working to prevent the environment from being too humid and affecting the growth of ladybugs, and will start the ventilation fan 106 to ventilate and reduce the humidity.
[0044] When the humidity inside the breeding chamber is too low, the processor 112 will control the humidifier 109 to start working, increasing the ambient humidity and providing suitable moisture conditions for the ladybugs.
[0045] The micro compressor 110 is used to regulate the temperature inside the incubation chamber. When the temperature is too high, the micro compressor 110 is activated and begins to cool through the cold end of the micro compressor 110.
[0046] When the temperature is too low, the electric heater 111 will start working to raise the ambient temperature and ensure that the ladybugs grow under constant temperature conditions.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition plate 102 has ventilation holes inside, and the ventilation fan 106 is connected to the culture chamber and the electrical chamber through the ventilation holes.
[0048] Specifically, the ventilation fan 106 not only enables air circulation between the cultivation chamber and the electrical chamber, but also ensures the freshness of the air in the cultivation chamber, providing sufficient oxygen for the ladybugs, while effectively removing any potentially accumulated carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, further ensuring the healthy growth of the ladybugs.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the culture tube storage rack structure 4 includes a rotating rod 401. The bottom end of the rotating rod 401 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 114. A dispersing bracket 402 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 401. An extension rod 403 is fixedly installed on the side end of the dispersing bracket 402. A fixing plate 404 is installed on the other end of the extension rod 403. A culture tube body 405 is movably inserted into the inner side of the fixing plate 404.
[0050] Specifically, the coordinated action of the rotating rod 401 and the drive motor 114 enables the entire culture tube storage rack structure 4 to rotate automatically around the central axis of the rotating rod 401. This rotational design not only promotes uniform airflow within the culture chamber but also helps ladybugs in each culture tube body 405 receive uniform light, thereby ensuring the healthy growth of ladybugs during the culture process.
[0051] In addition, the movable plug-in design inside the fixed plate 404 allows users to easily install or remove the culture tube body 405, which not only facilitates the handling and management of ladybugs, but also helps to clean and maintain the culture tube regularly to keep it in good working condition.
[0052] When using it, first put ladybugs into the culture tube body 405, and then insert the culture tube body 405 containing ladybugs into the inside of the fixing plate 404 and fix it by a movable plug-in method.
[0053] Subsequently, observation window 2 is closed to ensure that the environment inside the incubator structure 1 is sealed and stable. Users can set the required incubation parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and incubation time, via the touch screen 103. The processor 112 will receive these parameters and control the corresponding equipment to start working according to the preset program logic.
[0054] During the cultivation process, temperature and humidity sensors 108 monitor the temperature and humidity inside the cultivation chamber in real time to ensure that the ladybugs are in the most suitable growth environment. Based on the data from the sensors, the processor 112 intelligently adjusts the operating status of the humidifier 109, the miniature compressor 110, and the electric heater 111 to maintain constant temperature and humidity conditions. Simultaneously, the ventilation fan 106 continuously circulates air through the vents, providing fresh oxygen to the ladybugs and removing harmful gases to ensure their healthy growth.
[0055] Furthermore, the rotating rod 401 rotates automatically under the drive of the drive motor 114, causing the entire culture tube storage rack structure 4 to rotate slowly. This rotational design not only promotes uniform airflow within the culture chamber but also helps the ladybugs in each culture tube body 405 receive uniform light, thereby further improving the ladybug cultivation effect. Users can observe the ladybug cultivation status at any time through the observation window 2 and perform necessary operations and adjustments through the control panel 104.
[0056] After the cultivation is completed, the user can open the observation window 2 and easily remove the cultivation tube body 405 through the movable plug design inside the fixing plate 404 for subsequent ladybug management or research.
[0057] In summary, through the cultivation box structure 1 and the cultivation tube storage rack structure 4, the partition plate 102 included in the cultivation box structure 1 divides the inner cavity of the box body 101 into a cultivation chamber and an electrical chamber. The temperature and humidity sensor 108, humidifier 109, micro compressor 110, electric heater 111 and other equipment installed in the cultivation chamber can accurately control the cultivation environment, provide stable and suitable living conditions for ladybugs, significantly reduce the mortality rate of ladybugs during the cultivation process, and improve freshness. In conjunction with the design of the cultivation tube storage rack structure 4, the ladybug cultivation tubes can be stored in an orderly and safe manner, and are easy to access and observe. The combination of the rotating rod 401 and the drive motor 114 realizes the automatic rotation of the cultivation tubes, which facilitates uniform light and temperature control for ladybugs in each cultivation tube, further improving the cultivation effect of ladybugs.

The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0059] Furthermore, the touch screen 103, control panel 104, counter 105, ventilation fan 106, temperature and humidity sensor 108, humidifier 109, micro compressor 110, electric heater 111, processor 112, built-in power supply 113, drive motor 114, and power supply principle of the photovoltaic device 3 in the ladybug breeding tube storage rack are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
