Known for its beautiful sound from ancient times, crickets are a generic term for insects belonging to the Orthoptera, Ensifera, Grylloidea, and Gryllidae. The history of the use of crickets can be found in the East as pets have been used as insects in the Tang Dynasty (AD618-906), Japan (1095), and Korea, Lee Kyu-bo (1168-1241). Since the Song Dynasty, China has been popularizing cricket breeding and enjoying cricket fighting, and it is still active.

In addition, Fluker farms in the United States have established a cricket farm in 1953 and have automated breeding facilities for pet feeding and fishing lures.

In addition, it is now being used as a livestock feed material due to the large amount of functional substances in crickets, and it has been found that there is no abnormality in acute and genotoxicity tests. In addition, research on various functional materials of cricket has been proved to be excellent in anti-inflammatory effect, anti-fatigue and nursing care, and it has been proved that there is no abnormality in acute and genetic toxicity tests Functional materials and livestock feeds, which are expected to be the main income sources for farm household income in the future.

In addition, crickets are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are rich in chitosan, and are known to be the only breed that can be reared as food insects in the world.

The above-mentioned omega-3 fatty acid is an essential fatty acid having a double bond at the third carbon from the end of the carbon side chain among the unsaturated fatty acids. The essential fatty acid is a constituent of cellular tissues and promotes metabolism of the body Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to prevent cholesterol-lowering effects of various kinds of cardiovascular diseases, antitumor effect and prevention of lowering of learning ability, as well as nutrients essential for body growth and brain development.

Therefore, it is possible to obtain a large amount of omega-3 fatty acid-containing meat and the like when breeding crickets, breeding crickets, preparing feed compositions containing crickets, and feeding the feed composition to livestock or aquaculture fish. Further, Can raise high income, but currently there is no technical condition or method that can breed crickets massively, and there are various problems that can not breed crickets.

In addition, recent interest in insect breeding has been heightened, insect breeding has been categorized as urban agriculture, and indoor insect rearing in the city has become popular. Such insects include crickets, ferns, long beetles, and stag beetles.

Temperature and humidity are important for insect breeding and hatching, but conventional breeding boxes can not control the internal temperature and humidity properly, resulting in insufficient breeding and hatching of insects.

In order to solve the technical problems of insect rearing such as the above, KR Publications Utility Model No. 20-2017-0001154 and No. 20-2012-0000773 can easily control the temperature by simply using a warm mat or a warm heater in a kennel And no detailed description thereof has been disclosed. In the 20-2012-0000770, only the frame is installed, so that there is a problem that the insect is separated from the difficulty in the insect hatching or breeding.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an insect hatching apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an arrangement cross-sectional view of each shelf. Referring to the drawings, an insect hatching apparatus 100 including a spawning stand of the present invention and a mesh network One or more shelves 110 are provided on the frame 200 and an insect hatching device including a scattering platform 150 and a mesh network 190 is formed in each shelf 110.

One or more shelves for scattering 150 disposed on one side of each shelf 110, a mesh network 190 for covering the scattering platform 150, a heater 120 installed on the upper or rear surface of each shelf, And a controller 130 for controlling the humidity controller 171 and the heater controller 120, and the humidity controller 171.

The scattering platform 150 is configured to be disposed apart from the at least one oasis 180.

The oasis 180 is used as a culture plate.

3, the scattering platform 150 includes a pair of horizontal bars 151 and 152, at least one connection bar 153 for coupling the horizontal bars 151 and 152, and horizontal bars 151 and 152 And a fixing bar 154 which is formed at regular intervals on the top of the oasis 180 and fixes the plurality of oasis 180 upright at predetermined intervals.

Referring to the drawing, the oasis 180 may be fixedly mounted between the fixing bars 154 of the pair of horizontal bars 151 and 152.

Therefore, it is preferable that the spacing between the fixing bars 154 is such that the oasis 180 is not easily separated when the oasis 180 is seated.

4 and 5, an oasis 180 is fitted between four fixing bars 154, and four adjacent fixing bars are connected to another oasis (not shown) 180) to connect the necessary number of oases.

That is, the cradle 150 is made of a plastic material so as to be spaced apart from the scattering oasis.

Accordingly, it is a feature that the distance between the fixing bars 154 is adjusted so that the interval of the necessary oasis can be efficiently controlled, and the oasis can be moved freely by being removable.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the cradle is enclosed with a standardized mesh to prevent the larvae hatched in the oasis from escaping and sanitary control is possible.

Referring to FIG. 6 showing a mesh network for escape prevention that surrounds the scattering platform, the mesh network 190 is configured to enclose the platform 150 on which the oasis 180 is mounted. Therefore, And can be managed.

In the present invention, the mesh size of the mesh is such that the larva can not pass therethrough so as to prevent the larvae from escaping. However, the mesh size of the mesh is 0.1 to 0.8 cm, It is of course also possible to easily separate larvae of crickets of different sizes.

The heater (120) is installed on the top or rear surface of each shelf, and when heated to the floor, the natural convection phenomenon causes the warm air to circulate naturally in the shelf, thereby accelerating the reduction of mortality and growth due to the temperature change in temperature- Lt; / RTI >

The humidity controller 171 is installed on one side of each shelf and operates to adjust the humidity in the shelf.

The controller 130 controls the heater 130 and the humidity controller 171 so that the temperature and humidity in the shelf 110 are kept constant.

That is, the controller 130 controls the temperature inside the shelf to be maintained at 27 to 32 ° C and the humidity to be maintained at 60 to 75%. If the temperature and the humidity are not maintained, crickets may be killed or harmful insects including maggots may be generated. Especially, when the humidity is low, a problem of catching each other may occur.

Also, the controller 130 may control the fan 172 to maintain the temperature and the humidity.

In other words, the present invention can maintain the inside of the breeding container at an appropriate temperature and humidity by applying heat to the inside of the breeding container by the heater and the humidity device, and by controlling the temperature and humidity which are most difficult in insect hatching, And can increase productivity.

In addition, a user immerses a plurality of oasis 180 in water for 10 to 20 minutes, and then a long ovipositor (1.5 to 2 cm), which is a needle-like female cricket that has mated with a scattering oasis sufficiently absorbing water, 180 and scattered, a plurality of oases 180 are inserted into the spaces formed by the fixing bars 154 in the scattering platform 150, and are enclosed in the mesh network 190.

Thereafter, since the larvae hatched in the egg net 190 can be transferred using the net 190, there is an effect that the larvae can be easily transferred to the spermatogonium without scarring.

Hereinafter, results of experiments using the above-described load device will be described.

First, Experimental Example 1 in which hatching rate and survival rate are compared will be described.

In this experiment, a crane with a strong postnatal hatchability and a small larval size was selected from among the insects, and an oasis for scattering was inserted into the cradle to compare the hatching rate and the survival rate. Comparative Example 1 was constructed by inserting it into a resting oasis cage in a breeding box, and Comparative Example 2 was constructed by putting only an oasis for scattering in a case holding case of a general rectangular shape.

Ten adult crickets were then added to each of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2, and incubation conditions were set at 30 ° C, 60% humidity and 12 L / 8D After 15 days, the load ratio was compared and it was recorded 3 days after moving to the breeding area.

The following is a description of Experimental Example 2 in which the load ratio and the incubation period are compared.

28 ° C, 30 ° C, humidity 65%, and 12L / 8D (12 hours per day for 12 hours / day), and each of the crickets was placed in an oasis. 12 hours dark), and the initial hatching period was recorded and marked after 20 days.

Table 1 below is a comparison of load factor and survival rate.

Hatching rate Survival rate Example 1 92% 90% Comparative Example 1 90% 75% Comparative Example 2 70% 60%

Table 2 below compares the hatching rate with the hatching period.

Hatching rate Initial hatching Comparative Example 1 30 [deg.] C 92% 13th Comparative Example 2 28 ° C 80% 18th Comparative Example 3 26 占 폚 32% 20 days

As shown in Table 1, Example 1 showed a higher hatching rate than Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 1.

When the oasis for scattering is placed in a general breeding box as in Comparative Example 2, the hatching rate in the eggs is decreased according to the area of the oasis. In case of inserting the oasis for scattering, It can be seen that the hatching rate is high without significant difference in the hatching rate as in the first embodiment.

The hatched crickets are born in eggs and have a transparent white color. After a few hours, they become brown, and after a day or so, they become fully black.

When comparing the survival rates, when crickets hatch, they are clustered or scattered all over the oasis for spawning due to their active activity. When they are moved into the breeding box, they are transferred into oasis for spawning and then generally blow or shake out with air.

In this process, it was found that the survival rate of the herbicide was low because the herbicide was not properly seated in the herbivory,

In addition, it is easy to manage because it becomes pollution source of the breeding ground because the dead animal is pressed to the charcoal in the breeding ground, but the crane including the net is buried in the oasis for the spawning, the crane and the net, and cricket medicine is easy. The survival rate can be increased.

As shown in Table 2, the hatching rate is higher and the incubation period is shorter than that of Comparative Example 3 in the order of Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, respectively.

Generally, the cricket is known to have a load period of 13-18 days at a temperature of 28 ° C and a humidity of 60%.

As shown in Table 2, it is possible to shorten the hatching rate and the incubation period by keeping the temperature and the humidity constant by the keepers, and it is also possible to control the growth rate by controlling the breeding environment.

However, in the case of crickets, when the humidity exceeds 70%, oysters for spawning and molds are rapidly formed in the cradle, and thus, as time goes on in a high temperature and high humidity environment, it is unhygienic and difficult to manage.

Therefore, the administrator can easily adjust the temperature and the humidity according to the actual situation, thereby reducing the hatching rate and the incubation period and increasing the productivity.

It is another feature of the present invention that the temperature and humidity can be remotely controlled and the current temperature and humidity of the insect hatching apparatus can be confirmed.

To this end, a wireless communication interface 131 is added to the control unit 130 and the user terminal 200 communicates with the user through the Internet.

The terminal 200 includes a communication module 210 for communicating with the communication interface 131 via the Internet, a user application unit 250 for storing related applications, and a communication module 210. The temperature and humidity of the insect hatching device 100 And a terminal controller 220 for displaying the temperature and humidity of the insect hatching device and controlling the temperature or humidity by executing the application stored in the user application unit 250 and displaying the insect hatching device on the terminal display unit 230.

At this time, the communication between the communication interface 131 and the communication module 210 is managed by IP and operates to communicate by IP.

The user application unit 250 is configured to download related apps through an application store or the like.

Preferably, the application may be installed through an authentication process through membership registration in an installation process of an application (App).

Of course, you can easily join with a member's unique ID, such as e-mail or password.

These apps can be downloaded and installed from a server running as a web site. However, it is possible to use a method of uploading an app for each OS to the App Store regardless of whether the application is an IOS or an Android.

The process of downloading and installing the application (App) and the step of authentication are general, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the terminal control unit 220 can receive the temperature and humidity of the insect hatching apparatus specified by the IP using the application stored in the user application unit 250, and display the received temperature and humidity on the terminal display unit 230.

The short range communication unit 270 receives the temperature and humidity of the insect hatching device at the time of near access or tagging using the short range wireless communication unit 132 configured in the control unit 130 of the insect hatching apparatus 100, It can be displayed on the display unit 230.

In this case, IP is assigned to each insect hatching device or shelf, and the temperature and humidity of the IP are transmitted and received.

When an abnormality occurs in the insect hatching apparatus managed by the user, the IP of the other insect hatching apparatus may be input and the temperature and humidity currently controlled by the insect hatching apparatus of the IP may be referred to.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
