[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4A heating component 6 is provided inside the shell 1. The heating component 6 is used to thaw the frozen semen. The heating component 6 includes a heater 601.

[0035] Working Principle: When using the device to thaw bee semen, multiple semen straws containing bee semen are inserted into the multiple placement holes inside the mounting plate 4, so that the semen-filled portions of the semen straws are placed into the water flow inside the housing 1. Temperature sensor 9 monitors the temperature of the water flow in real time, maintaining it between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius. When the water flow temperature is low, temperature sensor 9 transmits an electrical signal to controller 5, which, upon receiving the electrical signal, activates heater 601. Heater 601 generates heat when in operation, which moves through heat conducting plate 603 to multiple heat sinks 602 and dissipates through multiple heat sinks 602 into the water flow, thereby heating the water flow. When the water flow temperature reaches the required use temperature, temperature sensor 9 transmits an electrical signal to controller 5 to shut down heater 601, maintaining the water flow at an appropriate temperature for standby use.

[0036] During the process of heating the semen straw, the water flow can start the two motors 201. The driving end of the motor 201 can drive the turntable 203 to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 203, the rotating rod 204 can be driven to rotate and the mounting plate 4 can be driven to move inside the shell 1 through the rotating rod 204, so that the semen straw inside the mounting plate 4 vibrates, so that the bee semen in the semen straw is evenly heated.
