Description

The utility model relates to agriculture and is designed to reproduce the biomass of the earthworm, as well as the preparation of vermicompost during the winter content of this crop.

Known "Installation for the industrial cultivation of worms", made at least in the form of one tunnel, loaded into the ground on the roof and installed on a surface having a slope of 1-15 ° to the horizon. The upper end of the tunnel is equipped with a hopper for loading the substrate and the starting dose of worms, and at the lower end there is a device for separating earthworms and issuing vermicompost. To mix the substrate, the tunnel is equipped with pallets having traction elements interconnected in the form of a jack, installed discharge end of the tunnel [1].

One of the existing disadvantages of the known device is the complexity of its design.

The closest prototype to the claimed utility model is "I. I. Stashevsky's installation for growing earthworms", containing a frame and a roof, which are mounted on rails using rollers and can be moved in a horizontal plane. A thermal relay is installed in the trench, interlocked with a drive of winches, which are connected to the roof. The roof and frame on both sides are connected to the winches with cables. With the help of winches, the frame is connected to the frame of the hollow partitions-formers and aerators [2].

The main significant disadvantage of this technical solution, selected as a prototype, is the high cost of the component parts of the equipment and the complexity of the vermicultivation process.

The main problem solved by the utility model is the possibility of growing vermiculture in winter conditions outdoors (for example, in the field), reducing the cost of manufacturing the module and increasing the efficiency of its use.

The problem is solved in a utility model by executing a module in the form of a group of boxes, with the possibility of installing them in rows on the bottom of a previously prepared trench, with a gap between them along the entire length of the row, the edges of the trench are reinforced with shields, the bottom of which is laid with bars, the openings between the drawers and the wall the trenches are filled with manure, and the roof of the module is made in the form of a truss, covered with a roof from a successively laid carrier floor with a heater insulated on both sides with plastic film and mounted on supports located in Centralized and on the edges of the trench and on the sides of the roof has a slope for rainwater drainage and ventilation windows, mounted in such a way that they are located above the drawers.

The problem is also solved in this utility model by the ability to perform a supporting frame, bearing roofing, boxes, shields, bars, trusses, frame supports made of inert and non-toxic material for vermiculture.

The height of the shields in the trench exceeds the height of the boxes.

The problem is also solved by a useful model through the use of mineral wool on the roof, or reed slabs or mats made of chakan, or dry foliage, or dry hay, or dry straw, or other insulation non-toxic for vermiculture with a thick layer that provides the necessary thermal insulation .

The insulation is insulated on both sides with a plastic film that prevents it from getting wet and maintaining its integrity.

Installation of the module in the trench is necessary to create and maintain optimal temperatures for growing earthworms in winter conditions. The presence of bars at the bottom of the trench allows you to maintain the necessary moisture content of the substrate during cultivation. Rotting manure maintains the necessary temperature for growing vermiculture.

Shields with a height exceeding the height of the boxes along the edges of the frame protect the trench from shedding. The supports in the center of the trench are sufficient to create and maintain the necessary slope for rainwater flow. The presence of ventilation windows that are mounted in such a way that they are located above the drawers allows monitoring of the environment without disturbing the main microclimate inside the module, if necessary, you can ventilate the module through them, add water or select vermiculture or substrate for production purposes.

Not from the materials of the patent technical literature and documentation, nor from the practice of using devices for the industrial cultivation of earthworms, it is not known about the design of the installation identical to the proposed one, which indicates its novelty.

The combination of the above essential features and differences is necessary and sufficient for the implementation of the task: each of the above signs is necessary, and taken together are sufficient to implement the task and achieve a technical result, namely, growing vermiculture in the winter.

There is a causal relationship between the totality of essential features and the task implemented by the utility model, i.e. the combination of these signs is the reason for such a consequence as the solution of the task. Moreover, the specified set of essential features can be implemented repeatedly. Hence the conclusion that the claimed technical solution meets the criterion of "industrial applicability"

The inventive utility model is tested in the conditions of the Lower Volga region at the enterprise NPP AstVermitekhnologiya Plus.

The essence of the claimed technical solution is illustrated by drawings, on which;

- figure 1 - shows a General view of a two-row system of boxes 1 located in the trench 2, the edges of which are reinforced with wooden shields 3, a support for the roof 4, a roof in the form of a bearing floor 5, with insulation 6, on both sides of an insulated plastic film 7, ventilation windows 8, the openings between the boxes and the wall of the trench are filled with manure 9, the bars 10 are laid at the bottom of the trench.

The proposed module consists of boxes 1 (Fig. 1) with the possibility of installing them in rows on the bottom of a previously prepared trench 2 (Fig. 1), with a gap between them along the entire length of the row, the edges of the trench are reinforced with shields 3 (Fig. 1), the bottom of which laid with bars 10 (figure 1), the openings between the boxes and the wall of the trench are filled with manure 9 (figure 1), and the roof of the module is made in the form of a bearing floor 5 (figure 1) with insulation 6 (figure 1) insulated on both sides plastic wrap 7 and is installed on supports 4 (figure 1) located in the center of the trench, and the roof has a slope for rain water and ventilating windows 8 (Figure 1) mounted so that they are located above the boxes.

Device operation:

Boxes 1 are installed in rows on bars 10 at the bottom of the trench, the walls of which are reinforced with shields 3, the height of which is higher than the height of the boxes 1, providing the installation of boxes in the trench.

In the boxes 1 lay the substrate. A worm is placed in it. Mount the roof 4 from the supporting floor 5 with a slope with a heater 6, insulated with a plastic film 7 and ventilation windows on both sides 10. A heater is insulated on both sides, insulated with a plastic film 9. The environment in the module is monitored by opening the ventilation windows 8, measure the air temperature inside the module, the temperature of the substrate in the boxes, humidity, physiological state of earthworms. Vital conditions for growing vermiculture are regulated by opening or closing ventilation windows 8.

After establishing a constant and necessary for growing earthworms outdoors natural temperature, the module is disassembled. Manure can be used to create a substrate for growing vermiculture, boxes can be transported to places of summer cultivation of earthworms or for other agricultural purposes (applying a substrate with vermiculture for agricultural plants; choosing earthworms to feed farm animals; introducing winter-grown vermiculture into ponds for the creation of a food base and feeding aquaculture, etc., etc.) obtained during the winter cultivation of earthworms, vermicompost is used On appointment.

The technical and economic advantages of the proposed module in comparison with the prototype are as follows:

- Ability to use in the open air at low natural temperatures.

- Convenience when working on the care of worms, their selection, transportation, use in agricultural production.

- Simplicity and convenience of monitoring important biotechnological indicators for growing vermiculture.

- Separate cultivation in one place of several types of worms simultaneously.

- Low cost of changing the configuration and volume of the device depending on the needs of agricultural production.
