Description
Description Field of the Invention The present work relates to the scorpion venom extraction, it aims towards an important production of the precious substance, enhanced with the deployment of a live scorpion cartridge and a fully automatic system. This guarantees a safe, efficient and high-quality production without injuring the scorpion nor exposing the human life to high-risk situations related to the scorpion or venom manipulation.
The invention possesses numerous benefits and advantages over known scorpion venom collecting systems, In particular, the invention is based on a permanent live scorpion cartridge in which the human interaction with the scorpion is reduced to the maximum and almost canceled.
Additionally , the cancelation of the human hand guarantees a better quality venom by the automation of the special collection mechanism implemented in the present work.
The hygiene of the scorpion is ensured by the cartridge, such that the scorpion's body is preserved away from dirt, therefore the time and effort of the cleaning process in the prior inventions are also avoided.
Moreover, the scorpion will spend a long period of time encapsulated and fed automatically, without compromising the scorpion's life as multiple environmental measurements are being collected regarding the scorpion living space, and that happens each time the scorpion cartridge is in the machine.
The use of a Venturi effect-based mechanism to feed the scorpion inside the cartridge without the need of opening the cartridge manually or getting the scorpion out of the cartridge is by its turn another innovative feature.
In addition, the scorpion telson positioning on the top of the venom container is made fully automatic using the multipurpose stimulation mechanism which is one of the extra new features that overcome the prior known similar devices.
Furthermore, the stimulator based on electrical and mechano-acoustic vibrations that generate enough harmless stress to the scorpion and trigger more than one scorpion sense at the time, consequently enhancing the effectiveness of the venom productivity.
Furthermore, the scorpion cartridge itself represents a reusable low-cost device equipped with a unique radio frequency identifier (RFID) for massive production traceability, at the same time it's easy to fabricate.
A practical example can involve the use of multiple live scorpion cartridges in form of horizontal rack delivered via conveyer and getting multiple multipurpose stimulation mechanisms working in parallel, so each individually stimulated scorpion drops its venom inside a container, then finally gathering everything in a single bigger container resulting in an important high-quality production.

Even if several inventions have been made regarding the subject of the venom collection they don't solve the issue of the massive production properly, while safety has been always a subject of concern.
Many inventions proclaim the ability to solve the issue of massive production, but some side effects are neglected.
For example, the scorpions are well known for a cannibalism attitude so realizing such a similar system to the invention registered as CN-108552118-A can lead to undesirable mortality among the scorpions just released by the machine, especially after being stressed out by stimulation.
An important number of previous inventions are related only to the signal generation and not a global solution such as CN-2049116-U and CN-204350854-U.
Other previous techniques such as the one deployed in CN-2529511-Y cannot be applied to massive production ,where handling the scorpion is hazardous and may cause disasters.
Some scorpions have strong tail muscles so invention like the CN-103767181-A
is not desirable since the scorpion will move aggressively when stimulated and it can be risky, also grabbing many scorpions may lead to the fatigue of the human hands and per consequence can cause a scorpion falling off the user's hands.
The invention registered as CN-103798192-B is a good approach for the problem, however, it has some features that need improvement like the scorpion packaging and others can be avoided like the cleaning and drying the scorpion to gain more in speed.
The traceability is an essential feature for the massive production of the venom, especially knowing that a huge number of scorpions are required to produce a small venom quantity, however, no prior invention proposed a practical efficient solution to the exploited scorpion 's tracking.
Though such devices have been implemented, interest rise and scientific progress made about the scorpion venom usage in medicine created more demand of the substance; there has been a continuous need for improving safely the venom productivity, there has been a continuous need for safely improving the venom productivity.
Summary of the Invention The invention consists of an automatic venom collector with a live scorpion cartridge designed for high-quality massive production of the scorpion venom that allows keeping the human safe without injuring the scorpion.
This invention is made of several elements working together in harmony attached to an interface board and governed by a computer system. The idea is to use a cartridge with a living scorpion inside and a moving multipurpose stimulation mechanism crosses that cartridge to correct positioning of the scorpion tail in such way that scorpion telson matches exactly the top of a venom container located in an automatic venom collector in front of the moving part.
Since the cartridge used is permanent, a complementary mechanism for feeding the scorpion is deployed ; the transportation of the cartridges is made automatic for safety and rapidity insured with a conveying system.
The live scorpion cartridge is a box-like shaped rigid element designed to host a live scorpion in its cavitations, the cartridge allows the scorpion to live the maximum possible period packaged inside during all its exploitation period where it will be fed and stimulated. The idea is to hold the scorpion body in a separate manner in a way that the scorpion tail can be managed easily by an automated process. Each cartridge can be uniquely identified through an RFID Tag installed in the back right of it.
The scorpion body is fixed inside the cartridge using a holding plate. The holding plate has a curved bottom edge for grabbing the scorpion from its mesosoma and fixing it through the cartridge without hurting the scorpion in such a manner that the scorpion body will be located in 2 places, the pre-abdomen will be in the scorpion living area while the post-abdomen will be in the tail area, As per result in the movement forward and backward of the scorpion 's body is neutralized by the holding plate and locked inside the cartridge.
The living area is cavitation located in the middle-low front of the cartridge with a height of few millimeters above the scorpion body and width large enough just to let the scorpion use its clamps freely for grabbing food. However, the tail area is another cavitation located in the center of the cartridge rear where the height and depth are equal and the same to the metastoma size so the telson can be pulled out, the width of the tail area is just a few millimeters larger than the post-abdomen permitting the scorpion to retract and elongate its tail but the lateral movements are restricted.
The scorpion tail area is secured with a security gate located in the back of the cartridge and prevents the telson to be out, and the living area has a front door to keep the insect used inside for feeding, as well as it can be a trap for the scorpion in case the holding plate fails.
Used to host the instrumentation, another cavitation is made in the cartridge body located above the scorpion living area with the same width as this last and depth just enough to make a connection between the front of the cartridge and the tail area.
In order to feed the scorpion and collect the environmental data of the living area, An auto-closing internal sliding door is placed on the top of the scorpion 's clamps, this door uses the instruments cavitation as a sliding rail and closes automatically by 2 lateral springs hosted in special cylindrical cavitation located in its back, this door has a flipped upside-down U shape and each of the U ends cover a gap, the left one used for feeding the scorpion while the right one is used for getting sensors in contact with the living space of the scorpion.
When in use the live scorpion cartridges are lined up on a conveyor that will move them one by one in front of a multipurpose stimulation mechanism in order to extract the venom, feed the scorpion and take the needed measurements inside the living scorpion 's area.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism is a rod-like element designed to fit the cavitation above the scorpion 's living area, this mechanism moves through a transmission piece bonded to a linear actuator and uses a fixed guiding rack to penetrate the cartridge at the exact location.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism has 2 main parts: a stimulation part that has the same width as the tail hosting area which is responsible for elongating the tail and performing the stimulation. However, the part of the electronic instruments is a part with the same upper cavitation width, and is responsible of feeding and measuring.
The stimulation part is equipped with 10 squared separate metallic pieces located in its bottom face, those metallic pieces represent 5 anodes and 5 cathodes aligned one by one alternatively to increase the contact probability with the scorpion tail, this part includes also a tiny electric vibration source.
The electronic instruments part has 2 holes both are in the bottom front, one in the right used to collect data and another one in the left used to feed the scorpion . The one used to feed the scorpion is connected with a guiding tube hosted inside the electronics instruments part and extends through its back.
When the multipurpose stimulation mechanism moves inside the cartridge the stimulation part goes in front and its width allows it to pass smoothly through the internal gate and reaches the tail area where it starts shaping the scorpion 's post-abdomen, however, electronic instruments part larger in width will move the internal U shaped body and reveals the gaps used for feeding and measuring.
Once the multipurpose stimulator fully in position, the post-abdomen will be totally fixed between the bottom of the tail area and the stimulation part, at this stage, stimulator electrodes enter in contact with scorpion 's metastoma, and the telson will be totally exposed at the back of the cartridge.
At this moment, the internal door will be fully opened and the electronic instruments' body holes will be matching the holes on the cartridge, so the food injection and data collection are made be possible, however, the insect will not move alone, therefore, a feeding mechanism is deployed, this last is working based on the Venturi effect theory, its role is to propel a living insect with the minimum injuries into the scorpion 's living area allowing it to grab the insect and eat it just like prey.
The feeding system has a venturi pump with enough big section to suck an insect and avoid smashing it against the pump wall, the air is sourced out from an air blower to keep the pressure low and at the same time ensure the airflow circulation necessary for the sucking to occur, the insect will be delivered passing by a flexible hose then the multipurpose stimulating mechanism to end up in the scorpion 's clamps, an infrared detector installed in the end of the guiding tube is used to ensure that the insect is properly injected.
On the side, the scorpion 's telson revealed by the multipurpose stimulation mechanism will be located on the top of the venom container made of glass, the container itself mounted on an automatic collecting mechanism.
The automatic venom collecting mechanism is principally a fixed part located just behind the cartridge its main role is to gather the venom droplets as efficiently as possible when the stimulation occurs.
The automatic venom collector has a front wall that maintains the cartridge in position and avoids the cartridge to fall from the conveyor when the multipurpose stimulation mechanism is moving, the wall has also the role of a support for an RFID reader that is used to detect the cartridge presence in front and further to identify the cartridge and help the computer matching the sensors data with each corresponding cartridge.
Before starting the stimulation of the scorpion 's venom gland, the automatic venom collector checks the presence of the venom container by a sensor under the container holder, and then a servomotor installed in the lower part of the mechanism adjusts the venom's container in a perpendicular position to prepare it for receiving the venom.
Once the stimulation triggered, the mechano-acoustic vibrations are generated by the stimulator body and a specific electrical signal is sent through the electrodes to the scorpion post-abdomen, the vibrations help the sticky venom droplet to fall inside the venom container while the servomotor makes the venom container internal wall touch the scorpion sting and recover the venom droplet completely. During the stimulation, after gathering the environmental data an insect is injected.
Later when the stimulation stops, the multipurpose stimulation mechanism comes back to its initial position and so the cartridge is set free, while the scorpion is moved by the conveyer to rest, the servomotor shack gently the venom container driving so the venom droplet to the bottom, a new cartridge takes place and a new cycle can start.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment The invention is an automatic venom collector with a live scorpion cartridge designed for high-quality massive production keeping safe the human and without harming the animal. In the particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention illustrated as per the following figures:
The FIG.1 is a global view of the automatic venom collector system, referred to the FIG.1 it is composed of: multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1, live scorpion cartridge 6 and an automatic venom collector 7, in the right side of drawing the parts of the scorpion feeding system, are shown.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is a moving part that moves forward and backward via a motion transmission piece 2 connected to a linear actuator 3 as shown in this embodiment, the motion of the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is guided with a rack 4 installed on a fixed metallic frame 5 made preferably of aluminum.
The motion transmission part 2 has also the role of a stand for the multipurpose stimulation part 1 while the rack 4 and the linear actuator 3 are supported by the metallic frame 5 to ensure the correct level with the live scorpion cartridge 6 and the collecting unit 7.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1, live scorpion cartridge 6 and the collecting mechanism 7 must be positioned in perfect alignment ( horizontally and vertically), so the cartridge 6 is placed on the top of a conveyor belt 8 which aligns it horizontally with the rest of the system's elements, while the vertical alignment is ensured by the conveyor's stand 9.
The metallic frame 5 is located in parallel to the collecting unit 7 additionally to its contribution to the stability it is also used for the alignment of the multipurpose stimulator 1 movements through the cartridge 6.
An air hose 11 is linking the feeding mechanism parts, coming from the venturi pump 12 to the multipurpose stimulation part 1, the venturi pump is connected by its turn to an air blower 13 via a flexible hose 11 from one side and to an insect container 14 from # the other side, with the purpose of sucking a live insect from the container 14 and propelling it into the scorpion cartridge 6 via the stimulation mechanism 1.
The entire mechanisms are linked to a computer system via an electronics interface board located in the electronics case 15.
The FIG 2 & 3: are showing more details about the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 described earlier in FIG.1 so the FIG.2 shows an isometric top view, while FIG.3 is the isometric bottom view.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 as shown is composed of stimulation part 16 located in the front, followed by an electronic instrument part 17.
The stimulation part 16 is characterized by being narrow and its front has a paraboloid curvature in order to guide the scorpion telson without injuries, multiple metallic plates made of inoxidizable act like electrodes 18 are located under the stimulator part 16 used for the electrical stimulation of the scorpion, a high-frequency vibration generator 19 is embedded in the stimulator part 16 close to the junction with the electronic instruments part 17, the vibration generator 19 is used to generate a mechano-acoustic stimulation to stress out the scorpion without exposing it to powerful electroshocks.
The electronic instruments part 17 has an embedded humidity and temperature sensors 20 in the lower front right side, allowing the acquisition of the environmental data inside the cartridge 6.
To ensure the injection of the food (Live insect) into cartridge 6 a guiding tube 21 is implemented inside the part of the electronic instruments 17. The guiding tube 21 has an inlet 22 in the back left side of the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 and an outlet 23 in the lower front left side of the part of the electronic instruments 17, the infrared detector 24 is located just in the guiding tube 21 outlet 23.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is connected to the electronics case 15 through a multi-core flexible cable attached in the electronic instruments part 17 at the cable plug 25 located in the rear right.
The FIG.4 represents a cut view illustrating the feeding mechanism.
The feeding mechanism works thanks to the venturi effect, so venturi pump 12 sucks live insects 26 from a special container of insects 15 through the creation of a differential pressure created whenever the air blower 13 starts flowing the air into the flexible hoses 11, that way the insect body is not damaged by the physical forces.
The flexible hose 11 coming from the Venturi pump 12 that is linked with a seal 27 to the inlet 22 of the guiding tube 21, the infrared detector 24 gives feedback on the number of insects injected in the cartridge 6, and so the computer can issue an order to stop of the feeding when the targeted number of insects to pass is reached.
The FIG 5 & 6: are demonstrating the external details about the live scorpion cartridge 6 described previously in FIG.1, Where the FIG.5 shows an isometric front view, and FIG.6 shows an isometric rear view.
A scorpion cartridge 6 is made of a rigid non-toxic Thermo insulating material, the cartridge 6 as represented in FIG 5 and FIG 6 consists of body 28 with three main cavitations, two in the front and one in the back.
The frontal cavitations are the scorpion living area 29 which hosts the main scorpion body (pre-abdomen) located in the bottom and the stimulation mechanism's cavitation 30 located just top of the scorpion living area 29.
The back cavitation is the scorpion tail's area 31 that hosts the scorpion's post-abdomen, the movement of post-abdomen up and down is free where the movement in both sides (right and left) is limited with the side walls 32. The scorpion tail will be elongated on the bottom wall 33 and exceeds the cartridge body 28 during the venom extraction time.
The integrated RFID tag 34 is located to the back of the cartridge in order to make each cartridge uniquely identifiable and traceable.
The associated elements of cartridge main body 28 are mentioned bellow:
(a) A front gate 35 which is a rigid plate separating the scorpion's living area 29 of the external world, avoiding therefore the insects used for feeding to escape as well as for the scorpion in case of holding plate 36 fails, a rectangular stimulator mechanism window 37 is located in the center of the front gate 35 to allow the stimulator mechanism 1 to penetrate, this gate is fixed in the front sliding rail 38.
(b) A security gate 39 is a blind plate used to forbid the sting being exposed by mistake consequently making the cartridge 6 fully secure when displacing with a living scorpion inside, the security gate 39 fits in the back of the cartridge body 28 at the security gate emplacement 13.
(c) A holding plate 36 is a rigid plate used to fix the scorpion movement forward and backward from the scorpion's mesosoma, this plate 36 has a small circular cut 41 in middle-lower edge allowing the scorpion body to fit exactly and so fix its movement properly without injuring the animal, a smaller window 42 is located in the center of the holding plate 36 allows the stimulator 16 to penetrate to the tail space 31, the holding plate 36 fits in at the holding plate location 43.
(d) An inner gate 44 is a block that allows the live insect to be injected into the scorpion living area 29 and to take internal measurements, this gate 44 can only be pushed with a stimulator mechanism1 and it opens completely only when this mechanism 1 is fully inserted in the cartridge 6.
The FIG.7 shows more details on the cartridge internal components already described from the external perspective with FIG.5 and FIG.6.
The form of inner gate 44 already introduced with the FIG.5 is shown to be a flipped up-side-down U
shaped element, this gate 44 moves only when the electronic instrument's body 17 is in place and the inner gate 44 closes automatically with lateral springs 45 installed on its back ensuring the proper sealing of the scorpion living area 29, the springs have a special cavitation 46 to fit into the cartridge body 28.
The scorpion living area 29 is accessible from the top after the inner gate 44 gets opened via a measurement window 47 and feeding window 48, the inner gate 44 movement controls both accesses at the same time.
The scorpion living area 29 has a build-in pillow 49 used as support for the scorpion body especially to allow the stimulator part 16 to better touch the scorpion tail when it is elongated on the lower tail's area wall 33.
The FIG.8 & FIG.9: show how the scorpion occupies its place in the cartridge 29 and how it is affected by the multipurpose stimulating mechanism 1.
Starting with FIG.8: that shows a cut view of the scorpion cartridge 6 with a scorpion inside before the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is in position, the FIG.8 shows the scorpion body occupying the proper emplacements in the cartridge 6, the scorpion post-abdomen is in the tail area 31 and the scorpion pre-abdomen is in the living area 29, the scorpion itself is fixed by the holding plate 36. The front 35 and the inner gate 44 are both closed. It can be noticed that the scorpion can move its legs and clamps with certain liberty allowing it to grab insects to eat, while the tail is allowed to move up and down with restricted lateral movements. The build-in pillow 49 allows better comfort for the scorpion and doesn't let its abdomen hanged.
Next, the FIG.9 shows the same perspective of the scorpion cartridge 6 illustrated in the FIG.8 but with the multipurpose stimulating mechanism 1 in its position. Once the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is pushed inside the live scorpion cartridge 6, the scorpion tail will lengthen proportionally to the penetration level and get more and more fixed between the tail bottom wall 33 and the electrodes 18 located under the stimulator part 16, the scorpion telson 50 is pushed out of the tail area 31. The inner gate 44 is opened allowing the delivery of the live insect directly into the scorpion living space 29, and the sensors to read the environmental data around the scorpion body. At that level, the scorpion is ready to receive the stimulation.
The FIG 10 & 11: are showing details about the collecting mechanism 7 described previously in FIG.1, Where the FIG.10 shows an isometric front view, and FIG.11 shows an isometric rear view.
The automatic collecting mechanism 7 is a fixed part of this invention however it has a moving part that allows the maximum venom collection. This mechanism is designed to gather the venom directly from the scorpion's telson 50 which is stimulated when it is on the top the container 51, the container 51 itself is carried on a container holding piece 52.
The venom container 51 a container made of glass, generally have the shape of a test tube, it fits exactly a special holder 52 having the same shape attached to the container holder 52 which is a moving part that keeps the venom container 51 in the appropriate position.
The automatic collecting mechanism 7 has a fixed body 10 located directly behind the cartridge 6, this mechanism has a cubic shape with a perpendicular front wall 53, the body 10 includes a free space 54 for the swing of the moving part.
The frontal wall 53 has an RFID reader 55 fixed to it used to identify the cartridge in front, as well as infrared sensor 56 that allows the verification of the correct positioning of the telson 50 on the top of the container 51, where the servomotor 57 is fixed in the bottom of the body 10 and it permits the precise swinging of the moving parts, a large holding pin 58 allows to create extra swinging stability.
Moving parts are allowing the venom to be gathered completely, it swings over an axis, it includes a glass venom container 51, a container holder 52 and container detector 60.
The FIG.12 shows an illustrative diagram of the interface connectivity board with the rest of the devices.
It's an illustrative diagram of the control layout of the basic automatic system implemented in this invention showing the different inputs and outputs, its location in the system and how are they linked to the interface board used to allow the interaction between the computer and the rest of the mechanism in order to fully govern the system activities sequence.
Although the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various modifications, additions, and alterations may be made to the invention by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
The invention possesses numerous benefits and advantages over known scorpion venom collecting systems, In particular, the invention is based on a permanent live scorpion cartridge in which the human interaction with the scorpion is reduced to the maximum and almost canceled.
Additionally , the cancelation of the human hand guarantees a better quality venom by the automation of the special collection mechanism implemented in the present work.
The hygiene of the scorpion is ensured by the cartridge, such that the scorpion's body is preserved away from dirt, therefore the time and effort of the cleaning process in the prior inventions are also avoided.
Moreover, the scorpion will spend a long period of time encapsulated and fed automatically, without compromising the scorpion's life as multiple environmental measurements are being collected regarding the scorpion living space, and that happens each time the scorpion cartridge is in the machine.
The use of a Venturi effect-based mechanism to feed the scorpion inside the cartridge without the need of opening the cartridge manually or getting the scorpion out of the cartridge is by its turn another innovative feature.
In addition, the scorpion telson positioning on the top of the venom container is made fully automatic using the multipurpose stimulation mechanism which is one of the extra new features that overcome the prior known similar devices.
Furthermore, the stimulator based on electrical and mechano-acoustic vibrations that generate enough harmless stress to the scorpion and trigger more than one scorpion sense at the time, consequently enhancing the effectiveness of the venom productivity.
Furthermore, the scorpion cartridge itself represents a reusable low-cost device equipped with a unique radio frequency identifier (RFID) for massive production traceability, at the same time it's easy to fabricate.
A practical example can involve the use of multiple live scorpion cartridges in form of horizontal rack delivered via conveyer and getting multiple multipurpose stimulation mechanisms working in parallel, so each individually stimulated scorpion drops its venom inside a container, then finally gathering everything in a single bigger container resulting in an important high-quality production.

Even if several inventions have been made regarding the subject of the venom collection they don't solve the issue of the massive production properly, while safety has been always a subject of concern.
Many inventions proclaim the ability to solve the issue of massive production, but some side effects are neglected.
For example, the scorpions are well known for a cannibalism attitude so realizing such a similar system to the invention registered as CN-108552118-A can lead to undesirable mortality among the scorpions just released by the machine, especially after being stressed out by stimulation.
An important number of previous inventions are related only to the signal generation and not a global solution such as CN-2049116-U and CN-204350854-U.
Other previous techniques such as the one deployed in CN-2529511-Y cannot be applied to massive production ,where handling the scorpion is hazardous and may cause disasters.
Some scorpions have strong tail muscles so invention like the CN-103767181-A
is not desirable since the scorpion will move aggressively when stimulated and it can be risky, also grabbing many scorpions may lead to the fatigue of the human hands and per consequence can cause a scorpion falling off the user's hands.
The invention registered as CN-103798192-B is a good approach for the problem, however, it has some features that need improvement like the scorpion packaging and others can be avoided like the cleaning and drying the scorpion to gain more in speed.
The traceability is an essential feature for the massive production of the venom, especially knowing that a huge number of scorpions are required to produce a small venom quantity, however, no prior invention proposed a practical efficient solution to the exploited scorpion 's tracking.
Though such devices have been implemented, interest rise and scientific progress made about the scorpion venom usage in medicine created more demand of the substance; there has been a continuous need for improving safely the venom productivity, there has been a continuous need for safely improving the venom productivity.
Summary of the Invention The invention consists of an automatic venom collector with a live scorpion cartridge designed for high-quality massive production of the scorpion venom that allows keeping the human safe without injuring the scorpion.
This invention is made of several elements working together in harmony attached to an interface board and governed by a computer system. The idea is to use a cartridge with a living scorpion inside and a moving multipurpose stimulation mechanism crosses that cartridge to correct positioning of the scorpion tail in such way that scorpion telson matches exactly the top of a venom container located in an automatic venom collector in front of the moving part.
Since the cartridge used is permanent, a complementary mechanism for feeding the scorpion is deployed ; the transportation of the cartridges is made automatic for safety and rapidity insured with a conveying system.
The live scorpion cartridge is a box-like shaped rigid element designed to host a live scorpion in its cavitations, the cartridge allows the scorpion to live the maximum possible period packaged inside during all its exploitation period where it will be fed and stimulated. The idea is to hold the scorpion body in a separate manner in a way that the scorpion tail can be managed easily by an automated process. Each cartridge can be uniquely identified through an RFID Tag installed in the back right of it.
The scorpion body is fixed inside the cartridge using a holding plate. The holding plate has a curved bottom edge for grabbing the scorpion from its mesosoma and fixing it through the cartridge without hurting the scorpion in such a manner that the scorpion body will be located in 2 places, the pre-abdomen will be in the scorpion living area while the post-abdomen will be in the tail area, As per result in the movement forward and backward of the scorpion 's body is neutralized by the holding plate and locked inside the cartridge.
The living area is cavitation located in the middle-low front of the cartridge with a height of few millimeters above the scorpion body and width large enough just to let the scorpion use its clamps freely for grabbing food. However, the tail area is another cavitation located in the center of the cartridge rear where the height and depth are equal and the same to the metastoma size so the telson can be pulled out, the width of the tail area is just a few millimeters larger than the post-abdomen permitting the scorpion to retract and elongate its tail but the lateral movements are restricted.
The scorpion tail area is secured with a security gate located in the back of the cartridge and prevents the telson to be out, and the living area has a front door to keep the insect used inside for feeding, as well as it can be a trap for the scorpion in case the holding plate fails.
Used to host the instrumentation, another cavitation is made in the cartridge body located above the scorpion living area with the same width as this last and depth just enough to make a connection between the front of the cartridge and the tail area.
In order to feed the scorpion and collect the environmental data of the living area, An auto-closing internal sliding door is placed on the top of the scorpion 's clamps, this door uses the instruments cavitation as a sliding rail and closes automatically by 2 lateral springs hosted in special cylindrical cavitation located in its back, this door has a flipped upside-down U shape and each of the U ends cover a gap, the left one used for feeding the scorpion while the right one is used for getting sensors in contact with the living space of the scorpion.
When in use the live scorpion cartridges are lined up on a conveyor that will move them one by one in front of a multipurpose stimulation mechanism in order to extract the venom, feed the scorpion and take the needed measurements inside the living scorpion 's area.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism is a rod-like element designed to fit the cavitation above the scorpion 's living area, this mechanism moves through a transmission piece bonded to a linear actuator and uses a fixed guiding rack to penetrate the cartridge at the exact location.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism has 2 main parts: a stimulation part that has the same width as the tail hosting area which is responsible for elongating the tail and performing the stimulation. However, the part of the electronic instruments is a part with the same upper cavitation width, and is responsible of feeding and measuring.
The stimulation part is equipped with 10 squared separate metallic pieces located in its bottom face, those metallic pieces represent 5 anodes and 5 cathodes aligned one by one alternatively to increase the contact probability with the scorpion tail, this part includes also a tiny electric vibration source.
The electronic instruments part has 2 holes both are in the bottom front, one in the right used to collect data and another one in the left used to feed the scorpion . The one used to feed the scorpion is connected with a guiding tube hosted inside the electronics instruments part and extends through its back.
When the multipurpose stimulation mechanism moves inside the cartridge the stimulation part goes in front and its width allows it to pass smoothly through the internal gate and reaches the tail area where it starts shaping the scorpion 's post-abdomen, however, electronic instruments part larger in width will move the internal U shaped body and reveals the gaps used for feeding and measuring.
Once the multipurpose stimulator fully in position, the post-abdomen will be totally fixed between the bottom of the tail area and the stimulation part, at this stage, stimulator electrodes enter in contact with scorpion 's metastoma, and the telson will be totally exposed at the back of the cartridge.
At this moment, the internal door will be fully opened and the electronic instruments' body holes will be matching the holes on the cartridge, so the food injection and data collection are made be possible, however, the insect will not move alone, therefore, a feeding mechanism is deployed, this last is working based on the Venturi effect theory, its role is to propel a living insect with the minimum injuries into the scorpion 's living area allowing it to grab the insect and eat it just like prey.
The feeding system has a venturi pump with enough big section to suck an insect and avoid smashing it against the pump wall, the air is sourced out from an air blower to keep the pressure low and at the same time ensure the airflow circulation necessary for the sucking to occur, the insect will be delivered passing by a flexible hose then the multipurpose stimulating mechanism to end up in the scorpion 's clamps, an infrared detector installed in the end of the guiding tube is used to ensure that the insect is properly injected.
On the side, the scorpion 's telson revealed by the multipurpose stimulation mechanism will be located on the top of the venom container made of glass, the container itself mounted on an automatic collecting mechanism.
The automatic venom collecting mechanism is principally a fixed part located just behind the cartridge its main role is to gather the venom droplets as efficiently as possible when the stimulation occurs.
The automatic venom collector has a front wall that maintains the cartridge in position and avoids the cartridge to fall from the conveyor when the multipurpose stimulation mechanism is moving, the wall has also the role of a support for an RFID reader that is used to detect the cartridge presence in front and further to identify the cartridge and help the computer matching the sensors data with each corresponding cartridge.
Before starting the stimulation of the scorpion 's venom gland, the automatic venom collector checks the presence of the venom container by a sensor under the container holder, and then a servomotor installed in the lower part of the mechanism adjusts the venom's container in a perpendicular position to prepare it for receiving the venom.
Once the stimulation triggered, the mechano-acoustic vibrations are generated by the stimulator body and a specific electrical signal is sent through the electrodes to the scorpion post-abdomen, the vibrations help the sticky venom droplet to fall inside the venom container while the servomotor makes the venom container internal wall touch the scorpion sting and recover the venom droplet completely. During the stimulation, after gathering the environmental data an insect is injected.
Later when the stimulation stops, the multipurpose stimulation mechanism comes back to its initial position and so the cartridge is set free, while the scorpion is moved by the conveyer to rest, the servomotor shack gently the venom container driving so the venom droplet to the bottom, a new cartridge takes place and a new cycle can start.
Later when the stimulation stops, the multipurpose stimulation mechanism comes back to its initial position and the cartridge is set free, while the scorpion is moved by the conveyer to rest, the servomotor shack gently the venom container driving the venom droplet to the bottom, a new cartridge takes place and a new cycle can start.
The collected venom can be gathered in the same container then retrieved securely by making the container holder turn to an angle like 300 to the back where the container can be retrieved with security.
The scorpion cartridges sent for rest will be stored in a special conditioning space with a controlled internal climate suitable for the scorpions' species used inside the cartridge, after the rest period that allows the generation of new venom dose the cartridge can be reused.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment The invention is an automatic venom collector with a live scorpion cartridge designed for high-quality massive production keeping safe the human and without harming the animal. In the particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention illustrated as per the following figures:
The FIG.1 is a global view of the automatic venom collector system, referred to the FIG.1 it is composed of: multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1, live scorpion cartridge 6 and an automatic venom collector 7, in the right side of drawing the parts of the scorpion feeding system, are shown.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is a moving part that moves forward and backward via a motion transmission piece 2 connected to a linear actuator 3 as shown in this embodiment, the motion of the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is guided with a rack 4 installed on a fixed metallic frame 5 made preferably of aluminum.
The motion transmission part 2 has also the role of a stand for the multipurpose stimulation part 1 while the rack 4 and the linear actuator 3 are supported by the metallic frame 5 to ensure the correct level with the live scorpion cartridge 6 and the collecting unit 7.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1, live scorpion cartridge 6 and the collecting mechanism 7 must be positioned in perfect alignment ( horizontally and vertically), so the cartridge 6 is placed on the top of a conveyor belt 8 which aligns it horizontally with the rest of the system's elements, while the vertical alignment is ensured by the conveyor's stand 9.
The metallic frame 5 is located in parallel to the collecting unit 7 additionally to its contribution to the stability it is also used for the alignment of the multipurpose stimulator 1 movements through the cartridge 6.
An air hose 11 is linking the feeding mechanism parts, coming from the venturi pump 12 to the multipurpose stimulation part 1, the venturi pump is connected by its turn to an air blower 13 via a flexible hose 11 from one side and to an insect container 14 from # the other side, with the purpose of sucking a live insect from the container 14 and propelling it into the scorpion cartridge 6 via the stimulation mechanism 1.
The entire mechanisms are linked to a computer system via an electronics interface board located in the electronics case 15.
The FIG 2 & 3: are showing more details about the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 described earlier in FIG.1 so the FIG.2 shows an isometric top view, while FIG.3 is the isometric bottom view.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 as shown is composed of stimulation part 16 located in the front, followed by an electronic instrument part 17.
The stimulation part 16 is characterized by being narrow and its front has a paraboloid curvature in order to guide the scorpion telson without injuries, multiple metallic plates made of inoxidizable act like electrodes 18 are located under the stimulator part 16 used for the electrical stimulation of the scorpion, a high-frequency vibration generator 19 is embedded in the stimulator part 16 close to the junction with the electronic instruments part 17, the vibration generator 19 is used to generate a mechano-acoustic stimulation to stress out the scorpion without exposing it to powerful electroshocks.
The electronic instruments part 17 has an embedded humidity and temperature sensors 20 in the lower front right side, allowing the acquisition of the environmental data inside the cartridge 6.
To ensure the injection of the food (Live insect) into cartridge 6 a guiding tube 21 is implemented inside the part of the electronic instruments 17. The guiding tube 21 has an inlet 22 in the back left side of the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 and an outlet 23 in the lower front left side of the part of the electronic instruments 17, the infrared detector 24 is located just in the guiding tube 21 outlet 23.
The multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is connected to the electronics case 15 through a multi-core flexible cable attached in the electronic instruments part 17 at the cable plug 25 located in the rear right.
The FIG.4 represents a cut view illustrating the feeding mechanism.
The feeding mechanism works thanks to the venturi effect, so venturi pump 12 sucks live insects 26 from a special container of insects 15 through the creation of a differential pressure created whenever the air blower 13 starts flowing the air into the flexible hoses 11, that way the insect body is not damaged by the physical forces.
The flexible hose 11 coming from the Venturi pump 12 that is linked with a seal 27 to the inlet 22 of the guiding tube 21, the infrared detector 24 gives feedback on the number of insects injected in the cartridge 6, and so the computer can issue an order to stop of the feeding when the targeted number of insects to pass is reached.
The FIG 5 & 6: are demonstrating the external details about the live scorpion cartridge 6 described previously in FIG.1, Where the FIG.5 shows an isometric front view, and FIG.6 shows an isometric rear view.
A scorpion cartridge 6 is made of a rigid non-toxic Thermo insulating material, the cartridge 6 as represented in FIG 5 and FIG 6 consists of body 28 with three main cavitations, two in the front and one in the back.
The frontal cavitations are the scorpion living area 29 which hosts the main scorpion body (pre-abdomen) located in the bottom and the stimulation mechanism's cavitation 30 located just top of the scorpion living area 29.
The back cavitation is the scorpion tail's area 31 that hosts the scorpion's post-abdomen, the movement of post-abdomen up and down is free where the movement in both sides (right and left) is limited with the side walls 32. The scorpion tail will be elongated on the bottom wall 33 and exceeds the cartridge body 28 during the venom extraction time.
The integrated RFID tag 34 is located to the back of the cartridge in order to make each cartridge uniquely identifiable and traceable.
The associated elements of cartridge main body 28 are mentioned bellow:
(a) A front gate 35 which is a rigid plate separating the scorpion's living area 29 of the external world, avoiding therefore the insects used for feeding to escape as well as for the scorpion in case of holding plate 36 fails, a rectangular stimulator mechanism window 37 is located in the center of the front gate 35 to allow the stimulator mechanism 1 to penetrate, this gate is fixed in the front sliding rail 38.
(b) A security gate 39 is a blind plate used to forbid the sting being exposed by mistake consequently making the cartridge 6 fully secure when displacing with a living scorpion inside, the security gate 39 fits in the back of the cartridge body 28 at the security gate emplacement 13.
(c) A holding plate 36 is a rigid plate used to fix the scorpion movement forward and backward from the scorpion's mesosoma, this plate 36 has a small circular cut 41 in middle-lower edge allowing the scorpion body to fit exactly and so fix its movement properly without injuring the animal, a smaller window 42 is located in the center of the holding plate 36 allows the stimulator 16 to penetrate to the tail space 31, the holding plate 36 fits in at the holding plate location 43.
(d) An inner gate 44 is a block that allows the live insect to be injected into the scorpion living area 29 and to take internal measurements, this gate 44 can only be pushed with a stimulator mechanism1 and it opens completely only when this mechanism 1 is fully inserted in the cartridge 6.
The FIG.7 shows more details on the cartridge internal components already described from the external perspective with FIG.5 and FIG.6.
The form of inner gate 44 already introduced with the FIG.5 is shown to be a flipped up-side-down U
shaped element, this gate 44 moves only when the electronic instrument's body 17 is in place and the inner gate 44 closes automatically with lateral springs 45 installed on its back ensuring the proper sealing of the scorpion living area 29, the springs have a special cavitation 46 to fit into the cartridge body 28.
The scorpion living area 29 is accessible from the top after the inner gate 44 gets opened via a measurement window 47 and feeding window 48, the inner gate 44 movement controls both accesses at the same time.
The scorpion living area 29 has a build-in pillow 49 used as support for the scorpion body especially to allow the stimulator part 16 to better touch the scorpion tail when it is elongated on the lower tail's area wall 33.
The FIG.8 & FIG.9: show how the scorpion occupies its place in the cartridge 29 and how it is affected by the multipurpose stimulating mechanism 1.
Starting with FIG.8: that shows a cut view of the scorpion cartridge 6 with a scorpion inside before the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is in position, the FIG.8 shows the scorpion body occupying the proper emplacements in the cartridge 6, the scorpion post-abdomen is in the tail area 31 and the scorpion pre-abdomen is in the living area 29, the scorpion itself is fixed by the holding plate 36. The front 35 and the inner gate 44 are both closed. It can be noticed that the scorpion can move its legs and clamps with certain liberty allowing it to grab insects to eat, while the tail is allowed to move up and down with restricted lateral movements. The build-in pillow 49 allows better comfort for the scorpion and doesn't let its abdomen hanged.
Next, the FIG.9 shows the same perspective of the scorpion cartridge 6 illustrated in the FIG.8 but with the multipurpose stimulating mechanism 1 in its position. Once the multipurpose stimulation mechanism 1 is pushed inside the live scorpion cartridge 6, the scorpion tail will lengthen proportionally to the penetration level and get more and more fixed between the tail bottom wall 33 and the electrodes 18 located under the stimulator part 16, the scorpion telson 50 is pushed out of the tail area 31. The inner gate 44 is opened allowing the delivery of the live insect directly into the scorpion living space 29, and the sensors to read the environmental data around the scorpion body. At that level, the scorpion is ready to receive the stimulation.
The FIG 10 & 11: are showing details about the collecting mechanism 7 described previously in FIG.1, Where the FIG.10 shows an isometric front view, and FIG.11 shows an isometric rear view.
The automatic collecting mechanism 7 is a fixed part of this invention however it has a moving part that allows the maximum venom collection. This mechanism is designed to gather the venom directly from the scorpion's telson 50 which is stimulated when it is on the top the container 51, the container 51 itself is carried on a container holding piece 52.
The venom container 51 a container made of glass, generally have the shape of a test tube, it fits exactly a special holder 52 having the same shape attached to the container holder 52 which is a moving part that keeps the venom container 51 in the appropriate position.
The automatic collecting mechanism 7 has a fixed body 10 located directly behind the cartridge 6, this mechanism has a cubic shape with a perpendicular front wall 53, the body 10 includes a free space 54 for the swing of the moving part.
The frontal wall 53 has an RFID reader 55 fixed to it used to identify the cartridge in front, as well as infrared sensor 56 that allows the verification of the correct positioning of the telson 50 on the top of the container 51, where the servomotor 57 is fixed in the bottom of the body 10 and it permits the precise swinging of the moving parts, a large holding pin 58 allows to create extra swinging stability.
Moving parts are allowing the venom to be gathered completely, it swings over an axis, it includes a glass venom container 51, a container holder 52 and container detector 60.
The FIG.12 shows an illustrative diagram of the interface connectivity board with the rest of the devices.
It's an illustrative diagram of the control layout of the basic automatic system implemented in this invention showing the different inputs and outputs, its location in the system and how are they linked to the interface board used to allow the interaction between the computer and the rest of the mechanism in order to fully govern the system activities sequence.
