Equipment Location
Over more than 40 years of breeding practice, Yidinghuo has continuously optimized and improved its breeding facilities, gradually developing a specialized equipment system suited for both eco-simulation and constant-temperature research modes. This equipment is specifically designed to address practical challenges in the breeding process—ensuring scorpions live more comfortably, enabling more efficient management, and providing more accurate data.
Integrated Production, Removal, and Cultivation Brick Piles
Design Background:In traditional scorpion farming, breeding, molting, and rearing are often carried out in separate areas, which not only takes up space but also makes the scorpions prone to stress—and even death—during transfers.
Equipment Features:
- Standard porous bricks are arranged in neat rows, with the holes interconnected, allowing scorpions to freely choose where to settle within the stack.
- Filling the center of the mounds with soil not only provides a place for hibernation but also stabilizes the internal microenvironment by utilizing the soil’s heat-retaining and moisture-retaining properties.
- The stacked-cage system integrates the three stages—birthing, molting, and rearing—into a single unit, so scorpions do not need to be transferred from birth to adulthood, thereby preventing stress-related damage.
- The asbestos-cement roof tiles provide shelter from rain and shade, while the color-coated steel panels on all sides prevent escape. Bird netting protects against predators, and drainage channels carry away excess water, creating a fully functional unit.
Application Value:
Reduces the number of steps in scorpion handling, thereby lowering the casualty rate; the integrated design saves floor space; the stacking structure has a long service life and low maintenance costs.
Smart Temperature and Humidity Control System
Design Background:Scorpions are extremely sensitive to temperature and humidity, and traditional heating methods (such as coal stoves and earthen beds) make it difficult to control these conditions precisely, often resulting in excessive temperature fluctuations, localized overheating, or overcooling.
Equipment Features:
- Featuring a design with independent zone control, different temperature and humidity parameters can be set for the above-ground, semi-above-ground, and underground areas according to experimental requirements.
- Equipped with high-precision sensors, it monitors and automatically adjusts the operating status of heating and humidification equipment in real time.
- Supports automatic data logging; temperature and humidity trend graphs are traceable and exportable
Application Value:By improving the accuracy of temperature and humidity control to within ±1°C and ±5%, we provide a stable and controllable environmental foundation for scorpion growth and scientific experiments.
24-Hour Monitoring and Data Acquisition System
Design Background:Scorpions are nocturnal animals; they remain hidden during the day and are active at night. Traditional manual observations make it difficult to capture their true behavioral patterns, and the data recorded is often incomplete and inaccurate.
Equipment Features:
- High-definition surveillance cameras with night vision capability are installed throughout the laboratory and animal housing areas.
- In conjunction with the automated data collection system, record behavioral data such as scorpion activity frequency, feeding patterns, and molting processes.
- Data is stored in the cloud, enabling long-term traceability and cross-referencing.
Application Value:Enable round-the-clock, uninterrupted observation to collect authentic behavioral data; provide objective evidence for experiments involving nutritional formulation, environmental control, and molting interventions.
Standardized Mealworm Farming Equipment
Design Background:Mealworms serve as the primary feed for scorpions, and their growth rate and nutritional value directly affect the quality of the scorpions. Traditional small-scale mealworm farming results in unstable yields and inconsistent quality.
Equipment Features:
- Multi-tiered vertical farming racks make full use of space and increase yield per unit area.
- Automatic sorting system that automatically classifies insects by age, facilitating precise, stage-specific feeding of different feed formulations
- Temperature and humidity control module, integrated with the laboratory environment, ensures stable year-round production of mealworms
Application Value:To achieve standardized, large-scale farming of yellow mealworms, providing a stable, high-quality feed source for scorpions while also offering a controlled experimental platform for feed formulation trials.
Laboratory Environmental Control System
To support the four major functional zones of the constant-temperature, hibernation-free laboratory, we have installed comprehensive environmental control systems:
- Zone-Based Temperature and Humidity Control System: Independent regulation of above-ground, semi-above-ground, and underground zones to precisely simulate different microenvironments
- Smart Ventilation System: Ensures air circulation and maintains uniform temperature and humidity distribution
- Professional lighting system: Simulates circadian rhythms, minimizes interference from natural light, and ensures consistent experimental conditions
- 24-Hour Surveillance Cameras: Comprehensive coverage with real-time recording and traceable data
Value of the Equipment System
This set of equipment serves as the material foundation for Yidinghuo’s transition from “experiential aquaculture” to “scientific aquaculture”:
- Make the Environment Controllable: Temperature, Humidity, Light, and Ventilation—Each Factor Is Backed by Data
- Let the Data Speak: Monitor, Record, and Analyze—Every Experiment Is Fully Documented
- Streamline Management: Integrated Design and Automated Control Reduce Reliance on Manual Labor
We’ve always believed that good equipment doesn’t need a flashy name—it just needs to solve real problems. Every piece of equipment from Yidinghuo is born out of the practical needs of the front lines of aquaculture and will continue to be refined and optimized through real-world use.
