Description

Wood earthworm breeding box {Wooden earthworm breed box}

The present invention relates to an earthworm breeding box, and in particular, the earthworm breeding enclosure is composed of a non-toxic disc wood, improve the feeding activity and reproduction and growth of the earthworm, can observe the breeding area of the earthworm with the integrated eyes, feces soil It relates to an earthworm breeding box using wood that can be used to grow plants directly.

Most households use earthworm breeding boxes to dispose of food or to learn nature. Such a small breeding facility may be considered easy to manage, but it is not easy because there is no room for error compared to a large facility described later.

In considering earthworm cages, it is of utmost importance to create a shape with a large surface area relative to the depth of the cage. Breeding earthworms are a species that live within a few centimeters (cm) of the earth, and they feed on the surface facing upwards in the bedding, so the larger the surface area, the more active the feeding activity, and the aerobic environment (air Good circulation and aerobic environment) and more air to avoid odors.

On the other hand, the deeper the container, like a bucket, the less air circulating below the rug, which not only causes odors, but also kills the earthworms by toxic substances emitted by microorganisms (anaerobic microorganisms) that thrive in anaerobic conditions. Likely to do.

When making an earthworm breeding box using a plastic container that can be easily obtained from the surrounding area, the biggest problem is that air is not well ventilated and moisture is accumulated. It has the disadvantage of drilling a lot.

On the other hand, multi-layer breeding box is to put the rug and earthworm in the first box and then put the food, the earthworm is used to repeat the process of raising the second box when the food is eaten away. However, since the earthworms are found in the first box even after the earthworms have eaten all the foods, it is inevitable to separate the earthworms when collecting feces, like other breeding boxes. In addition, the plastic material is less breathable during the earthworm breeding requirements. In particular, in areas where high temperature and humidity and severe crossover can occur, the earthworms can easily die because there is no space for the earthworm to avoid in the box.

Therefore, the present invention comprises the earthworm breeding enclosure made of wood with no crevices and no toxicity, improves the feeding activity and reproduction and growth of the earthworm, prevents mortality and observe the earthworm breeding area with integrated eyes, and uses fecal soil The purpose is to provide an earthworm breeding box using wood that can grow plants directly.

Therefore, if each of these boards are made of solid wood is made of single plate, but if each of these boards are composed of agglomeration wood is made by attaching several pieces of plate. At this time, solid wood or aggregate wood may be cedar.

Since the earthworm breeding enclosure 10 configured as described above does not have a gap in the height direction of the circumference, it is possible to prevent the escape of the earthworms bred in comparison with the breeding method stacked in several layers as in the prior art.

A plurality of vent holes (15a) is formed in the bottom plate 15, the earthworm breeding enclosure 10 is provided with a water receiving tray 20 to be opened and closed under the bottom plate 15, the bottom plate 15 On the upper surface of the) rug (1) is laid and fixed so that the net body 150 is prevented from exiting the vent (15a).

The drip tray 20 is supported along the lower guide rail 130 of the side plates 13 and 14 so as to be movable as shown in FIG. 1, and in some cases, the bottom of the drip tray 20. A rotating roller (not shown) may be installed to make the sliding opening and closing movement more smooth. Drip tray 20 is composed of a bottom plate 21 and the side plate 22 surrounding the bottom plate. The drip tray 20 may be made of synthetic resin, but is preferably made of solid wood or aggregated wood.

Vent hole 15a is formed in a circular shape, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated shape or number, but may be configured in a slot or other various shapes. Ventilator (15a) is supplied to the earthworm breeding enclosure (10) with the role of pores to supply air to the rug in which the earthworms inhabit, to promote the decomposition of microorganisms and to supply abundant oxygen to the earthworm to improve aerobicity If the food (organic) contains a lot of water serves as a drain passage for discharging it to the water receiving table (20).

The handles 41, 42, and 43 are installed in the earthworm breeding enclosure 10, the food cover 18, and the water receiving tray 20 for convenience of opening and closing operation or transportation. In the present embodiment, the handles are configured in a circular ring shape or 'c' shape, but the present invention is not limited to such a shape or structure.

In this way, the earthworm housing 10 has no toxicity because it is composed of solid wood or aggregate wood, so it is advantageous to the earthworm propagation or growth because it is environmentally friendly to earthworms.

It is preferable that the net body 150 has a fine hole so that the rug does not easily come out. Here, the rug (1) is necessary to inhabit the earthworms may be, for example, fecal soil. In this embodiment, the net body 150 is fixedly installed by a band plate 152 fixed with screws around the bottom plate 15.

In the upper portion of the earthworm breeding enclosure 10, a rug guide plate 19 having a predetermined slope is installed to form a wedge-shaped breeding phase, and a lower side plate 14 close to and near the lower end of the rug guide plate 19. Between the rug inlet (19a) is formed. In this case, the angle θ of the inclination may have a range within 5 degrees to 45 degrees. In the present embodiment, the rug guide plate 19 is inclined toward the right side plate 14, but in the present invention, the rug guide plate 19 may be inclined toward the left side plate 13. In this case, the rug inlet 19a is formed between the left side plate 13 and the bottom of the rug guide plate 19.

Stacked inclined as shown. Of course, when the rug guide plate 19 is inclined a lot, it may naturally flow down and be stacked.

As the rugs are stacked in an inclined manner, the surface area is widened to improve air permeability, and a temperature difference occurs at the surface of the rug, whereby the earthworm finds a suitable temperature and eats food, and forms and breeds effectively.

In addition, the upper part of the inclined upper part does not supply new food, thereby increasing the breathability, and the improvement of the breathability eliminates the troublesome work of periodically changing the rug.

On the other hand, without installing the rug guide plate 19 may be replaced by forming a rug leader line 190 having a predetermined inclination in the earthworm breeding enclosure 10 as shown in Figure 2b. The rug leader 190 may be formed to be inclined at 45 degrees, for example, and the rug leader 190 is provided inside the front plate 11 or the rear plate 12. Therefore, the breeder can obtain the same effect as the rug guide plate 19 by stacking rugs along the rug leader 190.

Hinge means for enclosing the feed cover 18, but the hinge 50 in the present embodiment is not limited to this hinge structure.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the housing of the breeding box is made of a disc with no gaps, such as solid wood or aggregate wood, so that there is no leakage of the earthworm, and it can be raised in an environmentally friendly manner. In particular, by allowing the rug to be inclined, the feeding activity is improved, the air permeability is improved, the breeding is improved, the breeding conditions are further improved, and the habitat position of the earthworm is actively changed due to the temperature difference of the rug, which moves to the evacuation area when high temperature occurs. It can take time to prevent the death caused by high temperature.

In the following description of the various embodiments, the same or equivalent parts as the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.
