Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rack-type automatic aquaculture device, and more particularly to the structure of a rack-type facility used for cultivating insects. [Background technology]

[0002] With the development and advancement of science and technology, countries are increasingly placing importance on environmental protection and recycling. In addition to the problems of garbage and sewage disposal, wastes such as feces and slurry are extremely difficult to treat, and countries are constantly seeking solutions. In recent years, various insects have been found to be able to decompose waste, and the black soldier fly (Siberian soldier fly) is particularly effective, allowing it to consume almost all types of slurry, animal feces, and organic waste from animals and plants. Furthermore, the waste left over after consumption by black soldier flies is an excellent natural soil conditioner, and the black soldier fly itself is a high-quality protein that can be added to animal feed. Therefore, in order to maximize the effectiveness of black soldier flies, numerous black soldier fly farming facilities have been developed in recent years. However, the black soldier fly's development cycle is only about 40 days, and it goes through the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Therefore, most current farming facilities are unable to adapt to the black soldier fly's development cycle and require a large amount of manpower, preventing maximum effectiveness. Therefore, how to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and problems is the technical problem that the inventor of the present invention aims to solve. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The main object of the present invention is to provide a rack-type automatic insect farming device for use in insect farming. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The rack-type automatic aquaculture device of the present invention is composed of a number of support frames, a number of receiving platforms, a number of electric reels, and a feeding device. The feeding device on the support frames first feeds insects and slurry onto the top receiving platform, and then the electric reel winds the fabric on the receiving platform to evenly distribute the insects and slurry on the fabric. The insects are then fed into the next receiving platform in sequence according to their growth cycles and feeding conditions, thereby achieving the purpose of aquaculture.

[0005] A collection box is installed below the plurality of support frames.

[0006] Wherein, at least one heating element may be installed at the bottom of the receiving platform.

[0007] Each of the motorized winding shafts has an inclined guide groove at one side thereof.

[0008] Wherein, the width of the fabric body is greater than the width of the receiving platform. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the present invention. [Figure 5] 1 is a schematic diagram of the best embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 6] 2 is a schematic diagram of the best embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 7] 3 is a schematic diagram of the best embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] 1 to 7 show a three-dimensional external view, a side view, a partial three-dimensional view, a partial cross-sectional view, and a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from these figures, the rack-type automatic aquaculture device 1 of the present invention mainly includes a plurality of support frames 2, a plurality of receiving platforms 3, a plurality of electric reeling shafts 4, and a feeding device 5. The plurality of receiving platforms 3 are stacked one above the other and installed on the plurality of support frames 2, and each receiving platform 3 is provided with side panels 31 on two corresponding outer sides, and movable panels 32 are installed at the front and rear, respectively; The plurality of electric winding shafts 4 are installed on the front and rear sides of the plurality of receiving platforms 3, and the electric winding shafts 4 are installed on the front and rear sides of the receiving platforms 3, respectively, and the cloth body 41 is further wound on the electric winding shafts 4, and the cloth body 41 is movable on the receiving platforms 3; The input device 5 is installed on the plurality of support frames 2 and positioned above the uppermost receiving platform 3 .

[0011] A collection box 21 is installed below the plurality of support frames 2 .

[0012] At least one heating element 33 may be installed at the bottom of the receiving platform 3 .

[0013] Each of the motorized winding shafts 4 has an inclined guide groove 42 disposed on one side thereof.

[0014] The width of the cloth body 41 is greater than the width of the receiving platform 3 .

[0015] When the rack-type automatic aquaculture device 1 of the present invention is used, insects and slurry are loaded into the loading device 5, and then the insects and slurry are first loaded onto the top receiving platform 3. At the same time, the movable plate 32 in front of the receiving platform 3 opens upward, and the motorized reel 4 on the front and rear sides of the receiving platform 3 reel in the fabric 41 and move it toward the other side, so that the loaded insects and slurry are evenly distributed on the fabric 41. Finally, the front movable plate 32 closes downward, forming an area on the receiving platform 3 enclosed by the two corresponding outer side plates 31 and the front and rear movable plates 32. The insects are stably placed on the receiving platform 3. When the insects enter the next life cycle or have eaten their way to the next stage, the front movable plate 32 of the receiving platform 3 opens upward, and the inclined guide trough 42 of the motorized reel 4 on the same side rotates downward. At the same time, the motorized reel 4 on the front and rear sides reels the fabric 41 and moves it toward the same side. All the insects and slurry on the fabric 41 are collected in the inclined guide trough 42, and then sent via the inclined guide trough 42 to the next receiving platform 3. After the insects and slurry have been sent to the lowest receiving platform 3, they are finally collected in the collection box 21 installed below the support frame 2, completing the cultivation process.

[0016] In accordance with the above, when the insects and slurry have been sent to the lower receiving platform 3, the movable plate 32 at the front of the lower receiving platform 3 is similarly opened upward, and the cloth body 41 is wound up by the electric winding shafts 4 on the front and rear sides thereof. The winding direction of the cloth body 41 of this layer must be opposite to that of the upper layer, so that the insects and slurry sent from the upper layer can be smoothly received and distributed evenly on the cloth body 41.

[0017] The above-mentioned slurry is mainly made of materials such as food waste, organic waste, and inorganic waste that can be fed to insects, and is called a slurry here because it has been processed into a slurry form.

[0018] The reason for installing at least one heating element 33 at the bottom of the receiving platform 3 is mainly to provide the optimum survival temperature required for insects in situations where the environmental temperature is relatively low.

[0019] 4, the width of the fabric body 41 is greater than the width of the receiving platform 3, so that after the fabric body 41 is rolled up and enters the receiving platform 3, the two side edges of the fabric body 41 can be aligned with the two corresponding outer side plates 31 of the receiving platform 3. This not only restricts the moving insects within the range of the fabric body 41, but also ensures that all insects and slurry are completely removed and not left on the receiving platform 3 when the fabric body 41 is rolled up and sent to the lower receiving platform 3.

[0020] Furthermore, since different types of insects have different growth cycles or feeding speeds, the number of receiving platforms 3 can be increased or decreased as needed, but each receiving platform 3 must be provided with side panels 31 on the two corresponding outer sides, with movable panels 32 on the front and rear, and with an electric reel 4 on the front and rear, and an inclined guide trough 42 on one side of the electric reel 4. This allows the insects and slurry to be sent to each receiving platform 3 in order from top to bottom.

[0021] To sum up, compared with the various problems and shortcomings of conventional aquaculture devices, the rack-type automatic aquaculture device 1 of the present invention, through the special design of the multiple support frames 2, multiple receiving platforms 3, multiple motorized reels 4, and feeding device 5, can culture insects on different receiving platforms 3 according to their growth cycles and feeding conditions, and by stacking the receiving platforms 3 one above the other, the total space occupied can be greatly reduced, thereby achieving the goal of optimal aquaculture efficiency.

[0022] The above-mentioned embodiments are intended to illustrate the best mode of carrying out the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make modifications or alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached utility model registration claims. [Explanation of symbols]
