Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insect breeding technology, and specifically relates to a suspended fan-shaped forked-horn bug egg-collecting device. Background Technology

[0002] The forked-horned bug is an important predatory natural enemy insect widely distributed in my country's agricultural and forestry sectors. It demonstrates strong biological control potential against more than forty pests, particularly lepidopteran pests, including tobacco budworms, fall armyworms, Asian corn borers, tea bark moths, beet armyworms, and armyworms. Artificial breeding and large-scale release of these natural enemy insects, as an environmentally friendly control method, helps reduce the use of chemical pesticides and is an important pathway to achieving green pest control.

[0003] However, in the traditional large-scale rearing of *Triplophysa fasciata*, the adult bugs do not have a specific preference for laying eggs in the enclosed rearing space, often laying them randomly in various locations within the rearing net cages. This requires a significant amount of manpower for egg collection, which is not only costly and inefficient but also prone to resulting in missed or damaged eggs, affecting breeding outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to design a suspended, fan-shaped egg-collecting device for *Triplophysa fasciata* to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a suspended fan-shaped forked horn bug egg-collecting device to solve the issues raised in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a suspended fan-shaped forked-horn bug egg-collecting device, comprising: Net cages for raising livestock; A ring-shaped suspension rope is installed inside the breeding net cage; A fan-shaped egg-collecting plate, which has a structure with multiple folds, is connected to and suspended by the annular suspension rope.

[0006] Furthermore, both the annular suspension rope and the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate are located at the top of the rearing net cage.

[0007] Furthermore, the breeding cage includes a frame and a mesh, with the mesh wrapped around the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the suspended fan-shaped forked-horn bug egg-collecting device also includes: The mesh screen has an operating zipper that can be opened and closed.

[0009] Furthermore, the annular suspension rope is an annular rope, and multiple annular suspension ropes are provided. The frame is configured as a cube structure, and the multiple annular suspension ropes are respectively located at the top four corners and the midpoints of the two short sides of the frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate is formed by repeatedly folding rectangular paper to create a wavy pleated structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the suspended fan-shaped forked horn bug egg-collecting device also includes a first mounting component, a second mounting component, and a plug-in post. The lower end of the first mounting component has a mounting groove, and the lower end and front and rear sides of the mounting groove are open. The middle part of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate is used to be inserted into the mounting groove through the lower end opening of the mounting groove. The first mounting component has a slot at its lower edge, and the second mounting component has a plug-in post connected to its upper end. The plug-in post is used to insert into the slot, and the second mounting component is used to prevent the middle part of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate from detaching from the mounting slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the suspended fan-shaped forked horn bug egg-collecting device also includes a hook, which is connected to the upper end of the first mounting component. The lower end of the hook has a notch for the loop suspension rope to pass through.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. The folded structure effectively increases the habitat space of the forked-horned bug and creates a concealed environment that conforms to its habits, thereby guiding the forked-horned bug to concentrate on laying eggs on the egg collection plate, significantly improving the egg collection efficiency.

[0014] 2. Since the oviposition behavior of the forked-horned bug is highly concentrated on the egg collection plate, the difficulty of manually finding and collecting eggs is greatly reduced, which helps to simplify the operation process, improve the overall work efficiency, and cause minimal disturbance to the adult bugs in the net cage during the operation.

[0015] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a suspended fan-shaped forked-horn bug egg-collecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rearing net cage 1, an annular suspension rope 2, and a fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3. The annular suspension rope 2 is disposed inside the rearing net cage 1. The fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 has a structure with multiple pleats, and the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 is connected to and suspended from the annular suspension rope 2.

[0021] Specifically, by setting up a fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 with multiple folds on it, a good oviposition site is provided for the forked-horned bug. Most of the bugs concentrate their egg-laying in this device, and over 90% of the egg masses are collected on the egg-collecting plate, significantly improving egg utilization. Thus, the folded structure effectively increases the forked-horned bug's habitat space and creates a concealed environment that suits its habits, guiding the bugs to concentrate their egg-laying on the egg-collecting plate and significantly improving egg collection efficiency.

[0022] Secondly, since the oviposition behavior of the forked-horned bug is highly concentrated on the egg collection plate, the difficulty of manually finding and collecting eggs is greatly reduced, which helps to simplify the operation process, improve the overall work efficiency, and cause minimal interference to the adult bugs in the net cage during the operation.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the annular suspension rope 2 and the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 are located at the top of the rearing net cage 1.

[0024] Optionally, the breeding cage 1 includes a frame and a mesh, with the mesh wrapped around the frame.

[0025] Specifically, the breeding cage 11 has a rectangular structure, preferably with dimensions of 85cm in length × 50cm in width × 40cm in height. Its frame is assembled from PVC plastic pipes. All six sides of the frame are covered with 120-mesh nylon mesh, forming a well-ventilated and enclosed space that prevents insects from escaping.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the suspended fan-shaped forked horn bug egg-collecting device further includes an operating zipper 11, and the operating zipper 11, which can be opened and closed, is provided on the front of the mesh.

[0027] Specifically, an operating zipper 11, approximately 80cm long, is sewn horizontally onto the front mesh of the rearing net cage 1. This design facilitates the retrieval of the fan-shaped egg collection trays 3 by technicians, as well as tasks such as watering, feeding, and cleaning.

[0028] Optionally, the annular suspension rope 2 is an annular rope, and multiple annular suspension ropes 2 are provided. The frame is configured as a cube structure, and the multiple annular suspension ropes 2 are respectively located at the top four corners and the midpoints of the two short sides of the frame.

[0029] Specifically, the circular suspension rope 2 is formed by wrapping and fixing cotton rope with a circumference of approximately 15cm. Six circular suspension ropes 2 can be used, and are fixed to the four corners of the top frame inside the rearing net cage 1, as well as the midpoints of the two short sides of the top frame, by sewing or gluing. This distribution method provides multiple suspension points for egg collection, increasing the effective egg-laying space.

[0030] Optionally, the fan-shaped egg-collecting sheet 3 is made of rectangular paper that is folded back and forth to form a wavy pleated structure, and the material of the fan-shaped egg-collecting sheet 3 is uncoated virgin pulp kraft paper.

[0031] Specifically, a rectangular piece of kraft paper is folded back and forth along its long side to form continuous wavy folds with a fold width of about 1 cm. Then, it is folded horizontally along its wide side once more. When unfolded naturally, it forms a three-dimensional fan-shaped structure. Next, the folded structure of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 is tightened and passed through the annular suspension rope 2. The folded structure in the middle is used to hang it on the annular suspension rope 2, allowing it to hang naturally from the top of the breeding net cage 1 under its own weight.

[0032] Among them, the "direct span design" and "suspension rope / zipper 11" design of the fan-shaped egg collection plate 3 make the collection work simple and quick, the egg mass is easy to peel off completely, and the damage rate is less than 5%.

[0033] Therefore, the fan-shaped egg-collecting sheet 3 is made of uncoated virgin pulp kraft paper. This paper is soft and porous, has a certain mechanical strength, is easy to fold and shape, and can be easily removed and replaced via a hanging rope. Secondly, its good moisture absorption and breathability meet the usage requirements. In addition, the egg-collecting sheet is a recyclable foldable paper, with strong material adaptability and controllable cost, making it very suitable for large-scale breeding.

[0034] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Multiple fan-shaped egg-collecting plates 3 are fabricated. Then, six annular suspension ropes 2 are fixed to designated positions at the top of the rearing net cage 1. Next, several egg-collecting plates are directly hung across the suspension ropes. Since the forked-horn bug prefers to lay eggs in concealed environments, the densely folded egg-collecting plates become its ideal oviposition site. Adult bugs will spontaneously lay their eggs on the fan-shaped egg-collecting plates 3. After the collection cycle is reached, the operating zipper 11 on the front is opened, and the user reaches into the net cage to directly remove the target fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 from the annular suspension rope 2 for replacement or egg removal. The entire collection process is fast and precise, with minimal disturbance to adults in other areas of the net cage.

[0035] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, optionally, the suspended fan-shaped forked horn bug egg-collecting device further includes a first mounting member 4, a second mounting member 5, and a plug-in post 51. The lower end of the first mounting member 4 is provided with a mounting groove 41, and the mounting groove 41 is open at the lower end and on both the front and rear sides. The middle part of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 is used to be inserted into the mounting groove 41 through the lower end opening of the mounting groove 41. The lower edge of the first mounting component 4 is provided with a slot 42, and the upper end of the second mounting component 5 is connected to the insertion post 51. The insertion post 51 is used to insert into the slot 42, and the second mounting component 5 is used to prevent the middle part of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 from leaving the mounting slot 41.

[0036] Specifically, the middle portion of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 41. Then, the insertion post 51 is inserted into the retaining groove 42, and the friction between the surface of the insertion post 51 and the retaining groove 42 locks the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 together. The second mounting member 5 can cover the lower end of the mounting groove 41, thus limiting the middle portion of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3 and preventing it from detaching from the mounting groove 41, ensuring the stability of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3. Furthermore, the connection between the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 using the insertion post 51 and the retaining groove 42 facilitates assembly and disassembly, thereby simplifying the installation and removal of the fan-shaped egg-collecting plate 3.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the suspended fan-shaped forked horn bug egg-collecting device further includes a hook 6, which is connected to the upper end of the first mounting member 4. The lower end of the hook 6 is provided with a notch 61, which is used for the annular suspension rope 2 to pass through.

[0038] Specifically, the hook 6 is a ring hook with a notch 61 at its lower end. The ring suspension rope 2 passes through the notch 61 and is installed inside the hook 6, facilitating the connection of the ring suspension rope 2 to the first mounting component 4 via the hook 6. When the ring suspension rope 2 is suspended from the top of the rearing net cage 1, it is away from the notch 61, which helps ensure the stability between the ring suspension rope 2 and the first mounting component 4, thereby ensuring the stability between the ring suspension rope 2 and the fan-shaped egg collection plate 3.

[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
