Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of factory silkworm rearing and relates to an apparatus for factory silkworm rearing at all stages, specifically a shelf apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional silkworm rearing methods are small-scale family-run operations, typically using small bamboo baskets. These baskets are simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and can be hand-woven, resulting in low costs. This small-scale rearing method is entirely manual, requiring manual operation from egg to adult to cocoon harvesting. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has very low efficiency. Furthermore, it is limited by seasonal conditions, allowing silkworms to be raised only at specific times, resulting in extremely low annual cocoon production. This method cannot meet the needs of modern society and has been gradually phased out.

[0003] To compensate for the shortcomings of traditional workshop-style silkworm rearing, large-scale and factory-style silkworm rearing technology has emerged. In large-scale breeding technology, new requirements have been put forward for breeding equipment. Traditional breeding equipment has the disadvantages of limited variety, overly simple structure, and poor functionality, and can no longer meet and adapt to the requirements of factory-style breeding. It is necessary to improve and optimize traditional breeding equipment.

[0004] Shelves play a crucial role in factory-scale silkworm rearing, providing an environment for silkworm growth and facilitating the transfer of silkworms at various stages. However, in practical use, previously developed shelves have been found to have the following defects: a lack of bottom support and enclosure structure, insufficient bottom support leading to poor stability, and difficulty in precisely controlling the spacing between upper and lower shelves, affecting silkworm activity, especially after the shelves deform with prolonged use. Furthermore, during silkworm transfer and climbing, due to the lack of enclosure structure, a small number of silkworms may climb out of the shelves. These silkworms may die due to lack of timely feeding, or they may be left behind and disposed of as waste because they were not transferred with the shelves. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shelf for factory-scale silkworm rearing. Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, a supporting and protective structure is installed at the bottom of the shelf, providing sufficient support to ensure stable placement on the silkworm frame and covering the shelf for the previous instar. This creates a fixed gap between the shelf and the previous instar shelf, minimizing the impact of shelf deformation. Furthermore, this supporting and protective structure also protects the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from escaping the previous instar shelf, allowing all silkworms to climb to the top of the shelf and feed promptly.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0007] A shelf for industrialized silkworm rearing includes a mesh panel, characterized in that it includes a robotic arm gripper and a supporting enclosure structure, wherein the robotic arm gripper grips the shelf and the supporting enclosure structure supports the shelf.

[0008] Furthermore, the robotic arm gripper is provided with a gripping hole, and the robotic arm gripper matches the gripping hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the robotic gripper is equipped with support legs at its bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, the mesh plate is provided with through holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the supporting enclosure structure is a supporting enclosure frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the supporting enclosure includes support bars, which are used to support the shelf and enclose it to form the supporting enclosure.

[0013] Furthermore, the mesh plate is provided with bosses.

[0014] Furthermore, the boss is provided with a positioning hole, and the boss matches the positioning hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the shelf also includes a shelf edge, the inner side of which is connected to the mesh plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the edge of the plate is curved upwards.

[0017] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model provides a supporting enclosure structure at the bottom of the shelf, which provides sufficient bottom support for the shelf, enabling it to be stably placed on the silkworm frame or covered on the shelf of the previous instar, and to create a fixed gap between the shelf and the shelf of the previous instar, so that it is basically unaffected by shelf deformation.

[0019] This support enclosure structure is a support frame structure formed by support bars. Compared with the previous bottom support structure where the shelves were scattered, it has better support stability, a more stable gap with the previous instar shelf, and increases the structural strength of the shelf, making it less prone to deformation. In addition, the enclosed support frame plays a role in protecting the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the previous instar shelf, so that all silkworms can climb to the top of the shelf in a targeted manner and feed in time.

[0028] This utility model aims to provide a shelf for factory-scale silkworm rearing. A supporting enclosure structure is provided at the bottom of the shelf to provide sufficient support, allowing it to be stably placed on the silkworm frame or overlaid on the shelf for the previous instar, while maintaining a fixed gap between the shelf and the previous instar shelf, thus being largely unaffected by shelf deformation. Furthermore, this supporting enclosure structure protects the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the previous instar shelf, allowing all silkworms to climb directionally to the top of the shelf and feed promptly. The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this shelf is used in automated silkworm rearing across all instars. During the rearing process, it is placed over the shelf for the previous instar and feed is placed on top. As the rearing time progresses, the silkworms gradually climb from the previous instar shelf to the top of this shelf to forage and consume the feed. After a period of nurturing, the silkworms gradually grow to the next instar. Once the silkworms reach the next instar, a shelf for the next instar is placed on top of this shelf, and the silkworms gradually climb from that shelf to the top of the next instar shelf to forage and consume the feed. After a period of nurturing, the silkworms gradually grow to the next instar. This shelf realizes the transfer and nurturing of silkworms, achieving the goal of automated instar-based rearing.

[0030] The shelf includes a mesh panel 1 and a side panel 2. The mesh panel 1 is rectangular and is circumferentially connected to the side panel 2. The side panel 2 surrounds the mesh panel 1, reinforcing its structure. The side panel 2 curves upwards from the inside out, acting as a enclosure to prevent silkworms from crawling out of the shelf, thus helping to reduce silkworm mortality and increase cocooning rate. The mesh panel 1 has mesh holes, the size of which is designed according to the size of the silkworms at the corresponding instar. Silkworms can climb to the top of the shelf by passing through the mesh holes from the shelf below that represents the previous instar.

[0031] The top surface of the mesh panel 1 is equipped with robotic grippers 3, which are arranged in five regular rows, with each row containing six robotic grippers 3. These robotic grippers 3 are used by a robotic gripping device to grasp and move the shelf in a specific direction. Multiple robotic grippers 3 increase the number of gripping points, ensuring stable and reliable gripping. Figure 5 As shown, the robotic gripper 3 is arched for easy gripping. To secure the robotic gripper 3, a gripper seat 31 is provided on the mesh plate 1. The gripper seat 31 has a gripping hole 32. The robotic gripper 3 is fixed to the gripper seat 31 and positioned above the gripping hole 32. The robotic gripper 3 can pass through the gripping hole 32, facilitating the stacking of shelves and providing positioning and limiting functions. This also reduces the volume of the stack, enhances its stability, and facilitates movement. The bottom of the robotic gripper 3 is provided with a support leg 33, located on the bottom surface of the mesh plate 1. The support leg 33 provides support and increases the connection area between the robotic gripper 3 and the gripper seat 31, improving the connection strength.

[0032] The mesh panel 1 has four through holes 5. The arrangement of these four through holes 5 is determined according to the setting position of the robotic gripper 3 of the previous shelf. When the shelf covers the previous shelf, the robotic gripper 3 of the previous shelf passes through the through hole 5, which plays a role in positioning and limiting the cover, while avoiding the robotic gripper 3 from affecting the supporting function of the enclosure structure and the function of controlling the gap.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mesh panel 1 is also provided with a boss 4, which is a conical structure with a larger bottom and a smaller top. The boss 4 has a through positioning hole 41, which is stepped, including a small hole at the top and a large hole at the bottom. The boss 4 can be inserted into the large hole of the positioning hole 41. When the shelves are stacked, the boss 4 of the lower shelf inserts into the large hole of the positioning hole 41 of the upper shelf, thus providing positioning and suspension functions. The positioning function restricts the movement of the upper and lower shelves in all directions, allowing the shelves to be stacked stably for easy handling. The suspension function ensures a gap between the upper and lower shelves, enabling sequential and separate grabbing of stacked shelves, preventing multiple grabbing or lower shelves from being grabbed along with the stacked shelves.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the bottom surface of the mesh panel 1 is provided with a supporting enclosure structure to support the mesh panel 1 so that it can be stably placed on the silkworm frame or covered on the shelf of the previous instar. This supporting enclosure structure is a supporting enclosure frame 6, which is a rectangular structure formed by supporting strips 61, and can support a large area. Compared with existing shelves, this utility model provides sufficient bottom support for the shelf by setting this supporting enclosure frame 6, so that it can be stably placed on the silkworm frame and covered on the shelf of the previous instar, and can form a fixed gap between it and the shelf of the previous instar, and is basically unaffected by the deformation of the shelf. In addition, the supporting enclosure frame 6 in the enclosed state plays the role of protecting the silkworms below, preventing a small number of silkworm eggs from crawling out of the shelf of the previous instar, so that all silkworms can climb to the top of the shelf in a directional manner and eat in time.

[0035] Except for the attached Figure 2 In addition to the support frame 6 of the shape and size shown, it can also be a rectangular frame of larger or smaller size, a triangular frame of any size, other polygonal frames of any size, and irregularly shaped frames of any size, all of which are covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[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.
