Abstract

An economy in which an insect breeding box, in particular, a breeding box can be reliably ventilated, foreign matter or foreign matter cannot enter from outside, and insects living inside can behave freely and freely without being injured. This kind of seed breeding box is provided in a safe and hygienic manner.
An insect breeding box (1) has a box body of a suitable material and a predetermined shape provided with a predetermined size and a predetermined number of legs on the bottom outside, and a groove of a predetermined size along an edge on the outside of the ceiling. And a lid part 2 having a two-stage structure, a large number of U-shaped ventilation grooves having a predetermined size are provided inside the fitting ridge of the lid part with the box main body, and the ceiling of the lid part is further provided. A groove of a predetermined size is cut along the outer peripheral edge, and while taking in fresh air inside while preventing foreign matter from entering by the above-mentioned U-shaped ventilation groove, inside the groove outside the ceiling portion, It is characterized in that a suitable number of breeding boxes are stacked by incorporating legs at the bottom of the box body.

Description

      The present invention relates to an insect breeding box, and more particularly to an excellent insect breeding box that promises hygiene and safety of breeding insects in the breeding box.

      In the conventional insect breeding box, a low-grade one simply uses a net or a cage or a box assembled in a lattice shape, etc.In recent insect booms, the breeding box has also been upgraded, and it is usually transparent. A simple box body and a lid provided with a vent or a net-like window are used.

      However, if the ventilation holes in the breeding box are too large, fly invades from the outside and collects on the food and excrement of the insects, causing small flies, creating an unsanitary environment and escaping small insects. On the other hand, if it is too small, the eyes become blocked by foreign matter, causing an oxygen-deficient state inside and causing breeding insects to die.

Furthermore, even if these ventilation holes are of a suitable size, there is also a danger that some parts of the body of the breeding insect, such as feet, claws, antennas, etc., may be caught and injured or their activities restricted. ing.
Therefore, the selection of the size, shape, location, and the like of the ventilation hole must always be the care of the manufacturer and breeder.
In consideration of this point, the following new technologies have recently been disclosed.

      In view of the drawbacks of the conventional products and the essential conditions of the life of the breeding insects, the present invention provides a living space that can provide a comfortable living space by providing ventilation holes in the breeding box in appropriate shapes at the appropriate locations. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a breeding box in which a fly or the like cannot enter from the outside and the interior living space can be kept clean, and the insect itself is injured by the ventilation means. It is another object of the present invention to provide a breeding box of this kind which is rational and has a good appearance without restricting or restricting its activities.

      Although the above-described problems and features of the present invention will be apparent from the embodiments with reference to the drawings described below, the drawings are only for explanation, and the registration scope of the present invention is not limited. It is not limited.

      In order to solve the above problems, the breeding box of the present invention is formed with an appropriate number of narrow U-shaped grooves having a narrow width on the back side of the ridge portion of the lid engaging with the box body, and the rectangular ceiling is formed. A rectangular groove for receiving a leg of a box body of a predetermined size is provided along four sides of the surface of the box.

The insect breeding box of the present invention having such a configuration is provided with a ventilation hole as a U-shaped groove inside the ridge portion of the lid, so that the insect breeding box may be closed by foreign matter such as dust, There is no restriction on the behavior of insects, as they can be hurt by catching the feet, antennae, etc. of the insects themselves.
In addition, the living environment inside the box can be maintained comfortably because insects such as fly are not allowed to enter from the ventilation holes opened downward along the outer wall of the box body.
Furthermore, since the rectangular groove on the outside of the ceiling of the lid can receive the leg of another box exactly, the desired number can be overlapped without blocking each ventilation groove, and a large number of insect products can be displayed in a narrow store. It is presumed that it will be accepted as an extremely effective breeding box in this kind of commodity distribution industry.

      As shown in FIG. 1, the insect breeding box of the present invention mainly includes an insect breeding box main body (1), a lid (2) thereof, and legs (4) of appropriate dimensions attached to the box main body (1). Consisting of

Of these components, the box body (1) may be of any shape and any material, but is generally made of a transparent material, such as plastic or glass, in which the ecology of insects bred in a square or cylindrical container can be observed. Preferably it is.
However, any material can be used as long as it keeps the insects from dying, not being injured or fleeing, and from being contaminated or invaded by foreign substances or foreign organisms from the outside.

On the other hand, the lid (2) of the present invention is also preferably of the same shape and material as the box body, but may be of a different material, such as wood or light metal.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the lid (2) is provided with a large number of U-shaped grooves (3) (3) on the back side of the ridge portion (6) fitted with the box body. At the same time, a rectangular groove (5) having a predetermined width and a predetermined depth is provided along four sides of the top (7) provided with a step.

When the box body (1) and the lid (2) are combined, the U-shaped ventilation groove (3) is opened downward, half of which is in contact with the upper outer wall of the box (1). The other half is open inward across the upper edge of the box opening.
Therefore, outside air flows from the F direction to the F 'direction, and conversely, flows out from the F' direction to the F direction.
As a result, the box body or the lid body is less likely to allow foreign matter to enter from the outside than the directly opened through-hole, and the insects living in the box have less chance of climbing up to such a ridgeline, Even if it rises, there is no possibility of injury due to a part of the body, particularly a toe, being caught in the downward groove or the corner thereof, so that the life activity of the insect is not limited at all.

      Furthermore, small insects such as fly are not directly through holes on the container or the lid, so it is difficult to notice the entrance, and they must pass through a narrow, U-shaped passage. Is impossible at first.

When such a breeding box is displayed at a store, as shown in FIG. 2, the legs (4) of one box are set in a rectangular groove (5) on the other box cover, and displayed. In addition to streamlining the display at narrow stores, the customer has the advantage of being able to find many insects at once and thus increasing the willingness to purchase.
Of course, in this case, care is taken so that there is no fear that the air permeability of the box is hindered at all.

Due to such a configuration and operation, the present insect breeding box is not a through hole directly opened in the box body or the lid body, so that the opening is not blocked by dirt, foreign matter, etc. The fresh air circulates and does not catch any of the insects, so that the insects living inside can freely and freely act without fear of injury.
In addition, since the fly is prevented from entering from the outside, small flies etc. are not found inside, so that it can be maintained hygienically at the same time, and at the same time, many boxes can be stored or displayed in a small place in a good manner, It is presumed to be used with good feelings between the industry and customers.

  It is a perspective view of the insect breeding box of the present invention.   FIG. 2 is a sectional side view showing the insect breeding box of the present invention cut along the line AA in FIG. 1 and showing a case where two of them are stacked and used.
