Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of Cordyceps sinensis breeding equipment, specifically, it relates to a breeding box for Cordyceps sinensis host larvae. Background Technology

[0002] Cordyceps sinensis, a precious traditional Chinese medicine, relies heavily on artificial cultivation techniques to address the depletion of wild resources. Among these techniques, the successful large-scale rearing of its host—the ghost moth larvae—is both fundamental and challenging. Ghost moth larvae naturally thrive in high-altitude soils, exhibiting a preference for low temperatures, high humidity, and soil-dwelling characteristics. When reared in groups, they are highly susceptible to cannibalism due to overcrowding and size differences, leading to a sharp decline in survival rates. Utility Model Content

Age-segmentation channel assembly, which connects adjacent containment spaces and allows larvae of a certain size or less to pass through; A ventilation mechanism for slowly exchanging gases within the main chamber with the external environment.

[0004] Furthermore, the age-classification channel assembly includes multiple sets of refuge tube groups, each set of refuge tube groups is used to connect two adjacent accommodating spaces, and the effective passage diameter of the multiple sets of refuge tube groups decreases sequentially from the middle of the box to both sides.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes an electronic cooling chip, wherein the cold end face of the electronic cooling chip is disposed inside the housing, and the hot end face is disposed on the outer wall of the housing.

The upper side of the baffle is provided with multiple air inlets connected to the ventilation channel. Multiple air outlet pipes are respectively located on one side of the lower end of multiple feeding boxes and connected to the feeding boxes. Each air outlet pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve, and the air inlet end of the air outlet pipe is equipped with an isolation mesh.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a water storage tank located at the bottom of the housing, with multiple spray nozzles above the water storage tank that communicate with the main chamber to regulate the humidity in the main chamber through water evaporation. The bottom of the water storage tank is provided with a drain pipe and a water inlet pipe, and a water pump is installed on the water inlet pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, which are electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the electronic cooling chip, the fan, and the solenoid valve.

[0009] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly installed on the outside of the feeding box.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 2 A rearing box for Cordyceps sinensis host larvae, comprising: Box 1, the interior of which forms the main chamber; Multiple partitions 2 are spaced apart in the main chamber, dividing the main chamber into multiple accommodating spaces; Multiple feeding boxes 4 are arranged one by one in the containment space in a way that can be independently pulled out. The feeding boxes 4 are used to lay culture soil. Age-separation channel components are used to connect adjacent containment spaces and allow larvae of a certain size to pass through; Ventilation system: The ventilation system is used to slowly exchange the gas in the main chamber with the external environment.

[0021] In practice, this invention disperses the larvae into multiple separate boxes, effectively mitigating the risk of total annihilation due to localized diseases. By setting up age-differentiated channel components and gradually decreasing the effective passage diameter of the refuge tube group from the middle of the box to both sides, smaller larvae can escape to a safe area through the channels, while larger larvae are confined to their original area. This effectively avoids competition and cannibalism between larvae of different sizes, significantly improving the overall survival rate of the larvae.

[0022] In this embodiment, the age-classification channel assembly includes multiple sets of refuge tubes (3 sets), each set of refuge tubes (3 sets) is used to connect two adjacent accommodating spaces, and the effective passage diameter of the multiple sets of refuge tubes (3 sets) decreases sequentially from the middle of the box 1 to both sides.

[0023] In practice, each refuge tube assembly consists of one or more pipes that horizontally penetrate the partition between adjacent containment spaces. Crucially, the effective passage diameter (inner diameter of the pipe or width of the gap) of multiple refuge tube assemblies is not uniform, but rather decreases sequentially from the center of the enclosure towards both sides.

[0024] For example, the central refuge tube group has the largest aperture, allowing larger larvae to pass through, while the apertures closer to the sides are smaller, allowing only smaller larvae to pass through. In this way, larvae can selectively enter the appropriate passage based on their body size and migrate to areas more suitable for their instar, achieving automatic instar classification.

[0025] In this embodiment, an electronic cooling chip 10 is also included. The cold end face of the electronic cooling chip 10 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the hot end face is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the ventilation mechanism includes: A ventilation channel is formed by a baffle and the wall of the box 1. Multiple baffles 7 are installed in the ventilation channel from bottom to top. Fan 6 is located on one side of the lower end of box 1 and is connected to the ventilation channel. Multiple air inlets 8 connected to the ventilation channel are provided on the upper side of the baffle. Multiple air outlet pipes are installed on one side of the lower end of multiple feeding boxes 4 and are connected to the feeding boxes 4. Each air outlet pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve, and the air inlet end of the air outlet pipe is equipped with an isolation mesh.

[0027] In this embodiment, a water storage tank 5 is also provided at the bottom of the box body 1. Multiple spray nozzles are provided above the water storage tank 5 and are connected to the main chamber to regulate the humidity in the main chamber through water evaporation. A drain pipe and a water inlet pipe are provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 5, and a water pump is provided on the water inlet pipe.

[0028] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are also included. The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are electrically connected to a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the electronic cooling chip 10, the fan 6, and the solenoid valve.

[0029] In practice, the controller is preset with suitable temperature and humidity ranges. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is higher than the set upper limit, the controller starts the electronic cooling chip to cool down. When the humidity sensor detects that the humidity is too low, the controller can start the water pump to spray humidification from the spray nozzle.

[0030] In this embodiment, a handle 9 is fixedly installed on the outside of the feeding box 4.

[0031] Instructions for use: Place larvae of different initial sizes into separate rearing boxes. Maintain the temperature and humidity in the main chamber within the optimal range for larval growth. Start the fan; outside air enters the ventilation channel through the fan, where it is softened by the baffles. The air then enters the upper part of the main chamber through the air inlet on the upper side of the baffle, and is slowly exhausted through the exhaust pipes of each rearing box (the opening of the solenoid valve can be adjusted as needed), forming a slow, circulating airflow. Intermittent ventilation is possible. During growth, smaller larvae will migrate through appropriately sized refuge tubes in the age-separation channel component to adjacent rearing boxes with more suitable space for their size, achieving automatic age-separated rearing. Managers can periodically remove individual rearing boxes using the handles for feeding, observation, and cleaning without affecting other larvae.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model are included within the protection scope of this utility model.
