Detailed Implementation

[0018] refer to Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a beehive with temperature control function, including a beehive 1, a temperature control pipe installed at the bottom or top of the beehive 1, at least one heating component 5 and at least one cooling component 4 installed on the inner side wall of the beehive 1, and a temperature sensor installed inside the beehive 1; wherein a solar photovoltaic panel 6 is installed on the top of the beehive 1 to supply power to the heating component 5 and the cooling component 4; and a geothermal pre-buried pipe 8 is provided in the apiary to provide heat exchange medium for the temperature control pipe.

[0019] Working principle: The temperature sensor can be placed inside the beehive near the honeycomb and connected to the control circuit board via wires. The control circuit board has preset temperature thresholds based on seasonal temperatures. For example, in summer, the temperature threshold is set to 35℃. When the sensor detects a temperature exceeding 35℃, the control circuit board automatically activates the cooling component 4; when the temperature drops to 30℃, it automatically shuts off the cooling component 4, thus achieving precise temperature control. In winter, the temperature threshold is set to 15℃. When the sensor detects a temperature below 15℃, the control circuit board automatically activates the heating component 5; when the temperature rises to 20℃, it automatically shuts off the heating component 5, thus achieving precise temperature control.

[0020] Correspondingly, if bees are raised in a fixed location, geothermal pre-buried pipes 8 can be used to achieve long-term and low-power temperature control of the beehive 1. By collecting geothermal energy or storing cold, the temperature of the beehive can be controlled to avoid the impact of extreme temperatures on the survival of bees.

[0021] In this embodiment, the top of the beehive 1 is provided with a beehive top cover 12, and the bottom of the beehive is provided with a beehive base 11. The outer walls of the beehive top cover 12 and the beehive base 11 are respectively provided with heat insulation layers (e.g., polyurethane layers).

[0022] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 Multiple evenly spaced lower temperature control pipes 2 are installed inside the beehive base 11, and multiple evenly spaced upper temperature control pipes 3 are installed inside the beehive top cover 12. Each lower temperature control pipe 2 has a lower water collection chamber 22 installed at both ends, and two lower water collection chambers 22 are respectively connected to a lower water inlet pipe 21 and a lower water outlet pipe 23. Similarly, each upper temperature control pipe 3 has an upper water collection chamber 32 installed at both ends, and two upper water collection chambers 32 have an upper water inlet pipe 31 and an upper water outlet pipe 33 installed at both ends. The lower water inlet pipe 21 and the upper water inlet pipe 31 are respectively connected to the water supply pipe 72 via a tee pipe, and the lower water outlet pipe 23 and the upper water outlet pipe 33 are respectively connected to the return water pipe 73 via a tee structure; wherein the upper water inlet pipe 31 and the upper water outlet pipe 33 are respectively equipped with an upper water control valve 311; and the lower water inlet pipe 21 and the lower water outlet pipe 23 are respectively equipped with a lower water control valve 211.

[0023] Based on the principle of hot air rising, only the lower water control valve 211 is opened in winter. During winter, the geothermal water obtained through heat exchange from the geothermal pre-buried pipe 8 is at a temperature of around 18°C. This heat is radiated upwards through the lower water outlet pipe 2 to heat and control the temperature inside the beehive. In summer, only the upper water control valve 311 is opened, allowing the upper temperature control panel pipe 3 to cool and absorb the high-temperature heat inside the beehive. A temperature sensor installed inside the beehive 1 is connected to a control circuit board via wires. The control circuit board has preset temperature thresholds based on seasonal temperatures. The flow rate of the diversion pump 71 can be controlled via the control circuit board to achieve temperature regulation.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 The geothermal pre-buried pipe 8 includes a downwater pipe, a riser pipe, and a horizontal pipe connecting the lower end of the downwater pipe and the lower end of the riser pipe, which are respectively pre-buried underground; wherein the upper end of the downwater pipe is connected to a return water tank 82, and the upper end of the riser pipe is connected to a geothermal water storage tank 7 through a water supply pump 81; wherein the inlet end of the temperature control pipe is connected to the geothermal water storage tank 7, and the outlet end of the temperature control pipe is connected to the return water tank 82.

[0025] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The cooling components 4 are respectively provided on the upper inner sidewall or on the opposite side of the beehive 1. The cooling components 4 are semiconductor cooling modules.

[0026] In this embodiment, the heating components 5 are installed around the lower inner sidewall or on opposite sides of the beehive 1. The heating components 5 include a heating plate 51 with a built-in PTC heating element, multiple heat dissipation plates 52 vertically connected to the heating plate 51, and an aluminum plate 53 disposed outside the heat dissipation plates 52.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 The lower end of the solar photovoltaic panel 6 is hinged to the top of the beehive 1 via a hinge seat 62. An angle-adjustable support leg 61 is also installed on the beehive 1. The lower end of the angle-adjustable support leg 61 is hinged to the side wall of the beehive 1, and a suction cup supporting the solar photovoltaic panel 6 is installed on its upper end. The foldable storage structure of the solar photovoltaic panel 6 facilitates the relocation of the beekeeping site according to the flowering period.

[0028] In another embodiment, the refrigeration assembly may consist only of a refrigeration housing 41 installed on the side wall of the beehive 1. To ensure the refrigeration effect, the side wall of the beehive 1 can be designed as a finned structure, specifically supported by a material with good thermal conductivity, to improve the refrigeration heat exchange efficiency. A water receiving trough 411 is installed at the bottom of the refrigeration housing 41, and through openings are provided on both side walls of the refrigeration housing 41. An overflow water pipe 42 for spraying water onto the side wall of the beehive 1 is installed at the top inside the refrigeration housing 41, and a water inlet pipe 42 for spraying water into the refrigeration housing 41 is installed on one side of the refrigeration housing 41. A ventilation assembly for air supply; wherein the ventilation assembly includes an air guide housing 43 installed at the through-hole, a flexible hose 441 connected to an air inlet pipe 432 on the air guide housing 43, and a fan 44, and a ventilation hole plate 431 for blowing water onto the side wall of the beehive 1 is installed on the air guide housing 43; water stored in the water receiving tank 411 is supplied to the overflow water pipe 42 through a water supply pipe 421 and a circulating water pump 422, and the overflow water pipe 42 is provided with multiple nozzles or openings for spraying water onto the side wall of the beehive 1; during use, water needs to be replenished to the water receiving tank 411 periodically.

[0029] The temperature regulation principle, for tropical or subtropical regions, such as beekeeping in Hainan, can be achieved by generating and storing electrical energy through photovoltaic power generation components. The stored electricity is then used to power the circulating water pump 422 and the fan 44. The water is then directly blown up and down the side wall of the beehive 1 to evaporate the water mist or water flow, thereby regulating the temperature of the beehive 1 by utilizing the principle of evaporative heat absorption.
