Description

{INSECTARIUM DEVICE}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for insect breeding.

Insect breasts are used to breed insects.

The area of the insect breasts becomes wider as the number of insect breasts increases. The increase in the installation area soon causes an increase in the initial investment cost, which is a negative factor restricting the expansion of insect habitat.

Korean Patent Registration No. 1499059 discloses a device for insect breeding at one place, but no solution for the problem due to the installation area of the insect breeding ground has been shown.

Korean Patent Registration No. 1499059

The present invention is intended to provide an insect breeding device capable of installing a large number of breasts in a small footprint.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not intended to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Other objects, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art, It will be possible.

The insect breeding device of the present invention comprises: a muscle barrel in which insects are bred; And a support unit extending in a first direction in which a plurality of the breasts are supported and inclined to the ground, wherein each breather can be supported by the support unit at different positions in the first direction.

According to the present invention, since a plurality of sewing baskets are provided in the support unit extending along the first direction inclined to the ground, the area of the ground required for installation can be minimized.

Since the support unit provides a large number of small breeding baskets on a small area of the ground, the number of insects raised per unit area on the basis of the land area can be greatly increased.

As a result, the spread of insect breeding grounds becomes active and the income of farm households can be increased.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The sizes and shapes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience. In addition, terms defined in consideration of the configuration and operation of the present invention may be changed according to the intention or custom of the user, the operator. Definitions of these terms should be based on the content of this specification.

1 is a schematic view showing an insect feeding apparatus of the present invention.

The insect feeding apparatus shown in FIG. 1 may include a sucker 100 and a support unit 200.

The sucker (100) can be a unified space in which the insect is raised. The sucker 100 can be formed variously according to the kind of insects to be reared.

In addition, various kinds of food and various flooring materials can be put into the inside of the sucker 100 according to the kind of insects.

For example, in order to breed a goat, the soil around the site can be laid as a floor. In addition, when the fish is 1 to 3 years old, the first food of the vegetable including at least one of soybean, carrot, cucumber, tomato, and brown rice and the meat ingredient such as insect or shrimp including at least one of grasshopper, It is preferable to grind the second food including the mixture to prepare a mixed powder and then feed it to the filter together with the water.

As another example, larvae of insects can be reared. Grasshoppers or white spotted flowers may be fed with oak sawdust, goji-pomon, bellflower, and the like.

As the population of insects raised in one sucker 100 is limited, a larger number of suckers 100 are required as the number of insects to be reared increases. As the number of breasts (100) increases, the installation area of the canister also increases. An increase in the footprint can lead to an increase in initial equipment costs, such as the cost of buying and selling land.

Although it is possible to reduce the footprint by stacking the breasts 100 from the bottom up, there is a very limited allowable problem. This is because the entrance of the breasts 100 should be formed on the upper surface rather than the side surface to prevent the escape of insects.

As a result, when the number of the breasts 100 increases, it is common that the breasts 100 are closely attached in the lateral direction in order to reduce the installation area.

According to this, in order to arrange the five breasts 100 having the width w, land having a length corresponding to five times the minimum w is required.

A support unit 200 may be used to reduce the footprint of the breasts 100.

The support unit 200 may extend in a first direction tilted to the ground 10 by supporting a plurality of breasts 100.

In one example, one end of the support unit 200 is fixed to the paper surface 10, and the other end of the support unit 200 can extend in the opposite direction of gravity. At this time, the plurality of breasts 100 may be supported on the support unit 200 at positions separated from each other on the first direction. For example, if five breasts 100 having a width w are disposed at different positions on the first direction and the first direction is perpendicular to the ground 10, the installation area of the ground 10 is w W, rather than five times as much as the wage.

The sleeper may be provided so as to face a plurality of surfaces, such as both surfaces or four surfaces, rather than only one surface of the support unit 200. This allows a larger number of breasts to be installed in one support unit.

According to the support unit 200, since each of the breasts 100 is disposed along the first direction tilted relative to the ground 10, some of the breasts 100 may be in a similar state to that hanging in the air.

Considering the situation in which the user can hang in the air, the breasts 100 of the present invention can be formed in a special structure.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the meat container 100 constituting the insect feeding apparatus of the present invention.

The breasts 100 disposed at the high position b can be greatly affected by the wind as compared with the breasts 100 of the vicinity of the ground 10. Since the wind force applied to the breasts 100 is applied to the support unit 200 connected to the breasts 100, the support unit 200 may be shaken or damaged. Since the flow and damage of the support unit 200 means the flow and damage of the sucker 100, it is preferable that the sucker 100 is formed to be less influenced by the wind.

For example, the outer surface of the breasts 100 may be curved like a sphere so as to be less influenced by the wind.

As another example, the wall surface 110 of the muffin 100 may be formed as a mesh through which the wind passes so that the wind is bypassed. At this time, in order to prevent the escape of insects, the mesh gap should be smaller than the insect to be reared.

On the other hand, a lid 130 may be installed on the upper surface of the breasts 100. The lid 130 can open and close the breeding space by the hinge 135 or the like. Also, the lid 130 may be provided with a handle 131. The manager can grip the handle 131 to open the lid 130 and manage the inside of the breasts 100. Stomach care may include inserting or removing insects, feeding food, cleaning inside the breasts 100, and the like.

The breasts 100 suspended in the air are likely to shake differently from those supported on the ground 10. In order to prevent the cover 130 from being opened unintentionally due to the shaking, the breasts 100 may be provided with a lock 133 for locking or releasing the closed state of the cover 130.

The sucker 100 hanging in the air due to the influence of the wind is liable to be dried.

In order to maintain the humidity that is compatible with insect breeding, a humidifier may be provided in the breasts 100. The humidity holding part can provide moisture to prevent the humidity inside the breasts 100 from being lowered. Moisture can be provided in a variety of ways.

It is possible to prevent the inside of the breasts 100 from being excessively dried by simply placing the bowl containing the water inside the breasts 100. However, if the sucker 100 is shaken by the wind or the like, the bowl or water may be spilled and the bottom of the sucker 100 may be wetted. When the floor is wetted with water, the environment for insect rearing may be hindered. Therefore, it is required to provide moisture while preventing water spillage.

3 is a schematic view showing a humidity holding part provided inside the breasts 100;

As an example, the humidity maintaining portion may include a waterproof cotton surface 180, and a sealing tube 190 in which the cotton surface 180 is received. The sealing cylinder may include a receiving portion 191 having a receiving space for the cotton wool 180 for inputting and outputting the cotton wool 180 and a cap portion 193 covering the inlet of the receiving portion 191.

According to the wet cotton swab 180, water may not wet the bottom of the breasts 100.

The sealing tube 190 may be provided to prevent the water on the batting surface 180 from drying too quickly. It is preferable that the sealing tube 190 is completely sealed to prevent the cotton wool 180 from being dried. However, when the sealing tube 190 is completely closed, water in the cotton-covered surface 180 is hard to be supplied into the sewing cylinder 100.

A hole 192 having a predetermined diameter may be formed in the sealing tube 190 so that the moisture of the cleaning surface 180 accommodated in the sealing tube 190 flows into the inside of the training tube 100. If the diameter of the hole 192 is too large (10), the function of preventing the quick drying of the cotton wool (180) is damaged and the insect enters and leaves the sealing cylinder (190). On the other hand, if the diameter of the hole 192 is too small, it is difficult to supply sufficient moisture to the breasts 100. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the diameter of the hole 192 is preferably 2 mm to 5 mm.

On the other hand, a part of the cleaning face 180 accommodated in the sealing cylinder 190 passes through the hole 192 and is guided to the outside of the sealing cylinder 190 so that the hole 192 is not blocked by the foreign substance, .

When the part of the cotton wool 180 is protruded through the hole 192, moisture evaporation of the cotton wool cotton 180 is prevented from being excessively quick, and moisture / moisture can be supplied to the inside of the muscle wick 100 for a long period of time. In addition, it is possible to prevent a phenomenon that an insect enters into the enclosure (190) through the hole (192) and is killed. Also, the cotton wool 180 protruding through the hole 192 can also function as a supply source for the insect to ingest water.

On the other hand, according to the support unit 200 described above, the work environment of the manager may be deteriorated.

There is no problem in managing the sucker 100 disposed near the ground ⓐ, but in order to manage the sucker 100 disposed near the public ⓑ, the manager must climb up to the position using a ladder or the like.

A measure may be provided for the convenience of management of the breasts 100 and prevention of fall accidents and the like.

4 is a schematic view showing another insect feeding apparatus of the present invention.

The insect feeding apparatus of Fig. 4 may include a means for moving the breasts 100 located in the public b & cir & to a working position in the vicinity of the ground surface where the manager's access is easy.

For example, the supporting unit 200 may be provided with a moving unit 210 for moving the exerciser 100 along the setting path. At this time, the setting path may include a working position ⓐ of the manager who manages the breasts 100.

In FIG. 4, the support unit 200 may be provided with a set path such as a track shape of a playground.

The above set path can be the state of the chain in the gear chain structure. Or the setting path may be the state of the belt in a structure in which the belt is engaged in the pulley. Or the setting path may include rails on which the breasts 100 are guided.

The moving part 210 can rotate the chain or belt, or move the giraffe 100 along the rails.

A plurality of breasts 100 may be disposed in the support unit 200 at a predetermined interval d. At this time, the moving unit 210 can move the sucker 100 by an integral multiple of the setting interval d. According to this, the specific breasts 100 can be reliably stopped at a fixed position near the working position a. If the sucker 100 is moved by a distance other than an integer multiple of d, the breasts 100 may be stopped at a position other than the working position a.

As an example, it is assumed that an input button 230 manually operated by an administrator is provided at a work location. The input button 230 may be for moving the sucker 100.

If the moving part 210 is configured to move the sucker 100 by a distance other than an integer multiple of d, the manager may press the input button 230 while the sucker 100 is moved and the input button 230 The sowing basket 100 will be stopped at the current position as soon as the hand is released. Since the stop position at this time is determined only by the manual operation of the manager, there is a high possibility that the stop position of the sucker 100 is changed.

In contrast, according to the configuration in which the moving part 210 moves the sucker 100 by an integer multiple of d, the sucker 100 can be moved by the set interval d each time the input button 230 is pressed. For example, when the input button 230 is pressed (10), the breasts 100 can be moved by the moving part 210 by the moving part 210. At this time,

Even if the input of the input button 230 is canceled at the time of the movement of the input button 230,

As shown in FIG. Therefore, if the working position a is provided at an integer multiple of d, the breasts 100 can be accurately stopped at the working position a.

A plurality of breasts 100 arranged at intervals of d in the set path can be managed in order. Accordingly, the manager can press and release the input button 230 once the management of the breasts 100 disposed at the current working position ⓐ is completed. According to the moving part 210 of the present invention, all the suckers 100 arranged on the set path move by d along the clockwise direction. Therefore, the next breasts 100 are positioned at the working position a. In this way, all the breasts 100 can be managed sequentially.

However, sequential movement may be inconvenient when an abnormality occurs in the specific breasts 100 or when the management frequency for the specific breasts 100 is high.

For example, it may be necessary to urgently manage the breasts 100 located at a position b marked 4d apart from the working position a in Fig. According to the upper input button 230, the manager must press the input button 230 four times in total to move the breasts 100 to the working position a.

For the convenience of the manager, when the breasts 100 of the working position b are selected, the breasts 100 may be transferred to the working position a through a single operation.

For example, the identification number may be assigned to the breasts 100. In addition, a sensing unit 250 for sensing an identification number of the sucker 100 positioned at the work position may be provided at the work position.

At this time, the moving unit 210 may compare the first identification number of the specific breasts 100 selected by the administrator with the second identification number detected by the sensing unit 250. If the second identification number is different from the first identification number, the moving unit 210 may pass through the sucker 100 passing through the working position a. The moving unit 210 can stop the movement of the sucker 100 passing through the working position a if the second identification number coincides with the first identification number.

Therefore, when the manager selects the specific breasts 100, the moving part 210 automatically rotates the chains, belts, and the like suspended from the plural breasts 100 to place the breasts 100 in the working position a have.

The selection of the specific breasts 100 may be performed through the input means disposed at the operation position a or through a terminal such as a mobile communication terminal which performs wireless communication with the movement unit 210. [

On the other hand, according to the moving part 210 that moves the sucker 100 along a menopause path such as a playground track, the attitude of the sucker 100 may be changed. For example, when the moving part 210 rotates a chain provided with the sucker 100, it is difficult to maintain the sucker 100 in a curved section if the sucker 100 is fixed to the chain. Here, the stillness may be the position where the floor with the flooring is placed underneath.

In order to maintain the normal state, the swinging bar 100 may be provided with a swinging part 150, which is rotated around a swinging shaft 90 installed on the moving part 210, as shown in FIG. The pivoting shaft 90 may be disposed above the breasts 100 so that the center of gravity of the breasts 100 is positioned below the pivoting shaft 90. According to the turning unit 150, the muscle bar 100 can maintain the normal state similarly to the case where the cable car maintains the normal state irrespective of the change of the position.

In order to minimize the influence of the wind, the wall 110 of the breasts 100 is formed as a mesh. However, with this measure, it may be difficult to adequately protect the sucker 100 and insects from the external environment. There may also be cases where sunlight must be avoided depending on insects.

The insect breeding device of the present invention may include a shielding unit 300 for protecting the breasts 100 and the insect, and further the support unit 200, from the external environment.

5 is a schematic view showing the shielding unit 300. Fig.

The shielding unit 300 may be formed in a cylindrical shape covering the entirety of the sewing basket 100 and the supporting unit 200.

When the shielding unit 300 is installed, the portion of the manager excluding the entrance 310 can be isolated from the external environment. Therefore, the breasts 100 and the support unit 200 can be protected from strong winds and winds such as typhoons. In addition, it may include an occlusive material which can not transmit sunlight if necessary.

However, if the width of the shielding unit 300 is larger than the height, the installation area can be increased. Therefore, it is preferable that the width of the shielding unit 300 is smaller than the height. Further, it is preferable that the width of the shielding unit 300 is smaller than the sum of the widths of all the housed breasts 100 housed therein. According to this, even if the shielding unit 300 is applied, an insect feeding apparatus in which the installation area is reduced can be provided.

Further, according to the shielding unit 300, it is not necessary to construct a separate building for the protection or management of the sucker and the support unit. This is because it can be installed outdoors immediately by using a shielding unit.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.
