Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a bumblebee breeding and capturing device, belonging to the technical field of bumblebee breeding. Background Art
[0002] Bumblebees have long beaks suitable for deep corollas, large bodies, low temperature resistance, and sonic pollination. They are generally considered to be the "ideal pollinating insects" for greenhouse crops. Bumblebees are now widely used to pollinate greenhouse crops around the world. Bumblebee pollination can not only increase the yield of fruits and vegetables, but also improve their quality. More importantly, it can reduce hormone pollution caused by chemical methods, which is beneficial to the safety of agricultural products. Using bumblebees for pollination has become an important agronomic measure in modern facility agriculture.
[0003] In nature, bumblebees in most areas have one generation per year, and in very few areas there are two generations per year. The extinction pattern of bumblebee colonies is that usually a single queen bee hibernates over the winter, builds nests and lays eggs in the spring of the second year, and produces drones and new queens when the colony reaches its peak in summer and autumn. After mating, the new queen constantly feeds on nectar and pollen, and when the fat in the body is fully accumulated, it will hibernate elsewhere to hibernate, and the original colony will die naturally in late autumn and early winter. This shows that in nature, bumblebees are mainly used for pollination in summer and autumn, while for greenhouse vegetable pollination in winter and early spring, it is necessary to artificially create conditions to change the life of the bumblebee colony to meet the requirements.
[0004] In actual breeding, cultivating a large number of new queens is an essential procedure in bumblebee breeding. In the process of bumblebee breeding, it is necessary to select the new queens and drones out of the cells in time and raise them separately so that they can mate after they reach sexual maturity.
[0005] In a bumblebee breeding colony, there are hundreds of bumblebees. The worker bees live with the newly-born queen bee and drones. In the process of selecting the queen bee and drones, tweezers are generally used to pinch the wings of the bumblebees. When selecting the queen bee and drones from the breeding colony, the queen bee can be easily injured during the capture process after selection, which in turn causes damage to the reproductive organs and affects the breeding results.
[0006] The invention with application number: CN201611042204.7 and announcement number: CN108094365A discloses a bumblebee catcher, wherein two anti-bee baffles are arranged under the control handle of the catcher, the tweezers feet of the catcher are designed as flat cylindrical, and the flat part of the tweezers feet is provided with anti-slip horizontal stripes; the bumblebee catcher is provided with detachable hemispherical tweezers feet, and vents are distributed on the hemispherical tweezers feet; the surface of the flat cylindrical tweezers feet of the catcher is smooth, which reduces the stress points of the bumblebees' climbing, and the anti-bee baffles under the control handle can prevent the bumblebees from climbing upward, thereby protecting the operator from being stung. For bumblebees distributed in the corners of the hive, the catcher can be used to directly clamp them; for bumblebees distributed on the surface of the hive, the hemispherical tweezers feet can be inserted into the front end of the catcher to catch the bumblebees. The present invention can ensure that bumblebees are prevented from being stung in the process of catching bumblebees, and provides convenience for the breeding and sorting of bumblebee breeding bees. It has the characteristics of simple structure, easy operation, good application effect, etc.
[0007] However, in the actual selection process, hemispherical tweezers are used for capture. Bumblebees will be disturbed after entering the hemispherical tweezers. The space inside the hemispherical tweezers is larger than that of bumblebees, and bumblebees are prone to collision with the inner wall of the hemispherical tweezers. Bumblebees are still easily injured, affecting the breeding effect. Summary of the invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defect in the prior art that bumblebees are easily injured when selecting queen bees and drones in a breeding group through a bumblebee catcher, which affects the breeding effect. A bumblebee breeding and capturing device is provided, which can be used to select breeding bumblebees, avoid bumblebee injuries, and thus ensure the breeding effect.
[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0010] A bumblebee breeding and capturing device, comprising tweezers feet A and tweezers feet B, wherein one end of the tweezers feet A and the tweezers feet B are hinged on a rotating shaft, and the tweezers feet A and the tweezers feet B are connected by an elastic member, and under the action of the elastic member, there is an angle between the tweezers feet A and the tweezers feet B, characterized in that: it also includes a shell A and a shell B respectively installed on the other ends of the tweezers feet A and the tweezers feet B, and the shell A and the shell B can form a cavity after being buckled, and the shell A and the shell B are respectively sleeved on the shell A and the shell B, and the shell A and the shell B are between the shell A and the shell A, and the shell B and the shell The shell A and the shell B are connected by a guide component, the shell A and the shell B are respectively provided with a parallel part A and a parallel part B which are parallel to the tweezers feet A and the tweezers feet B, the parallel part A and the tweezers feet A, and the tweezers feet B and the parallel part B are connected by a guide component, a spring is respectively provided on the tweezers feet A and the tweezers feet B, the spring is provided with a first pressing part and a second pressing part from left to right, the shell A and the shell B are provided with a through hole, the shell A and the shell B are provided with bristles, the ends of the bristles are provided with fluff, and the fluff can extend into the cavity after passing through the through hole.
[0011] Further optimization is performed by providing a buffer sheet at the lower end of the first pressing part and the second pressing part.
[0012] The end of the spring sheet is connected to an arc-shaped plate, the first pressing portion is arranged near the end of the arc-shaped plate, and the second pressing portion is arranged at the connection between the spring sheet and the arc-shaped plate.
[0013] For further optimization, an anti-slip pad is provided on the upper end of the arc-shaped plate.
[0014] Further optimization is performed by providing short fluff at the left and right ends of the shell A and the shell B.
[0015] Further optimization is that a hair guide tube is provided in the through hole, and both ends of the hair guide tube extend out of the through hole respectively, and one end of the hair guide tube extending into the shell A and the shell B is in a truncated cone shape, and the fluff passes through the hair guide tube.
[0016] Wherein, the elastic member is a spring.
[0017] The principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0018] Before catching a bumblebee: under the action of the elastic member, the forceps legs A and B are in an unfolded state;
[0019] When catching a bumblebee: bring the shell A or the shell B close to the bumblebee, and drive the bumblebee into the shell A or the shell B, then press the spring sheet so that the second pressing part presses on the tweezers legs A and B, and the tweezers legs A and B move close to each other, so that the shell A or the shell B forms a cavity to cover the bumblebee;
[0020] Then, continue to press the spring. At this time, the first pressing part will press on the parallel part A and the parallel part B, so that the shell A moves toward the shell A, and the shell B moves with the shell B, so that the fluff enters the cavity, reducing the activity space of the bumblebee; the fluff has a significant restrictive effect on the bumblebee.
[0021] When releasing the bumblebees: move the captured bumblebees to the feeding box, release the shrapnel, and reset the shell A, shell B, shell A and shell B, thereby realizing the lossless capture and release of the bumblebees.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The present invention forms a cavity by buckling the shell A and the shell B to accommodate the bumblebee. When the shell A and the shell B are buckled, the fluff arranged on the shell A and the shell B will also extend into the cavity from the through hole at the same time.
[0024] First, the space inside the cavity can be adjusted to facilitate the capture of bumblebees of different sizes;
[0025] Secondly, the hairs inserted into the cavity can slightly fix the bumblebee, preventing the captured bumblebee from moving around in the cavity and causing the bumblebee to be frightened and collide with the inner wall of the cavity, thus causing damage to the bumblebee.
[0026] Third, after the fluff is inserted into the cavity, part of the fluff will adhere to the inner wall of the cavity, and part of the fluff will fix the bumblebee to prevent it from moving around. At the same time, the fluff that adheres to the inner wall of the cavity will form a protective layer. Even if the bumblebee struggles and collides with the inner wall of the cavity, it can still protect the bumblebee and avoid damage to the bumblebee, thus ensuring the breeding effect.
[0027] Fourthly, in actual use, by controlling the force of pressing the spring piece, the length of the fluff extending into the cavity can be controlled, which further improves the adaptability of the present invention and can capture bumblebees of different sizes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments, which are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] A bumblebee breeding and capturing device, comprising tweezers feet A1 and tweezers feet B2, wherein one end of the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2 are hinged on a rotating shaft 3, and the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2 are connected by an elastic member, and under the action of the elastic member, there is an angle between the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2, and this embodiment also includes a shell A4 and a shell B5 respectively installed on the other ends of the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2, and the shell A4 and the shell B5 can form a cavity 14 after being buckled, and the shell A22 and the shell B23 are respectively sleeved on the shell A4 and the shell B5, and the shell A22 and the shell B5 are connected by guides. The shell A22 and the shell B23 are respectively provided with a parallel portion A6 and a parallel portion B7 which are parallel to the tweezers foot A1 and the tweezers foot B2. The parallel portion A6 and the tweezers foot A1, and the tweezers foot B2 and the parallel portion B7 are connected by a guide component. A spring piece 8 is respectively provided on the tweezers foot A1 and the tweezers foot B2. The spring piece 8 is provided with a first pressing portion 9 and a second pressing portion 10 from left to right. A through hole 11 is provided on the shell A4 and the shell B5. Bristles 12 are provided on the shell A22 and the shell B23. Fluff 13 is provided at the end of the bristle 12. The fluff 13 can extend into the cavity 14 after passing through the through hole 11.
[0033] Further optimization is performed by providing a buffer sheet 24 at the lower ends of the first pressing portion 9 and the second pressing portion 10; in this way, when the first pressing portion 9 contacts the parallel portion A6 and the parallel portion B7, and when the second pressing portion 10 contacts the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2, no large vibration or noise will occur, which can effectively avoid being startled during the process of catching bumblebees.
[0034] Among them, short fluff 18 is provided at the left and right ends of the shell A4 and the shell B5.
[0035] The elastic member is a spring, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the tweezers foot A1 and the tweezers foot B2; in practice, a torsion spring may also be used.
[0036] It should be noted that the guide assembly includes a guide post 15 and a spring A16, the spring A16 is sleeved on the guide post 15, and a limit portion 20 is provided at the end of the guide post 15;
[0037] In actual use:
[0038] The guide post 15 is fixedly mounted on the shell A4, and the other end of the guide post 15 passes through the shell A22. The spring A16 is located between the shell A22 and the shell A4, and the two ends of the spring A16 are respectively against the shell A22 and the shell A4.
[0039] Similarly, the parallel portion A6 and the tweezers foot A1 are also connected by a guide assembly, specifically: one end of the guide column 15 is fixed on the tweezers foot A1, and the other end passes through the parallel portion A6, and the spring A16 is located between the parallel portion A6 and the tweezers foot A1.
[0040] A groove 17 matching the end stopper 20 of the guide post 15 may be provided on the housing A22, B and the tweezers feet A1, B.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, a baffle 21 is provided at the left end of the shell A22 and the shell B23. After the shell A4 and the shell B5 are buckled together, the fluff 13 at the end of the bristles 12 on the shell A22 and the shell B23 extend into the cavity 14, and the baffle 21 can rest against the shell A4 and the shell B5 to limit the shell A22 and the shell B23.
[0043] In actual use, in order to ensure that it is more convenient to capture bumblebees, the baffle 21 is extended from the ends of the shell A4 and the shell B5, so that the baffle 21 is located behind the shell A4 and the shell B5. When capturing bumblebees, the shell A22 and the shell B23 will not affect the capturing process. Since the fluff 13 with bristles 12 is provided, there is a gap between the shell A4 and the shell B5 and the shell A22 and the shell B. In this way, when capturing bumblebees, the bumblebee's legs may be clamped. The baffle 21 is extended from the ends of the shell A4 and the shell B5, so that the part for capturing bumblebees has only one layer of structure, which can avoid this situation.
[0044] Further optimization, in actual use, a buffer pad is provided at the contact portion between the shell A4 and the shell B5, so that even if the bee's legs are clamped during the process of catching a bumblebee, the bumblebee will not be damaged; wherein, a plurality of buffer strips can also be provided on the buffer pad, and there is a gap between adjacent buffer strips, and the width of the gap should be greater than the width of the bee's legs. In this way, the buffer pad and the buffer strip have a better buffering effect after overlapping, and even if the bee's legs are clamped, they will not be damaged under the action of the two. At the same time, the gap formed between the buffer strips also greatly reduces the probability of clamping the bee's legs; in this way, the bumblebee can be better protected during the process of catching the bumblebee.
[0045] Example 3
[0046] This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of embodiment 1 or 2. In this embodiment, the end of the spring piece 8 is connected to an arc plate 25, the first pressing portion 9 is arranged near the end of the arc plate 25, and the second pressing portion 10 is arranged at the connection between the spring piece 8 and the arc plate 25.
[0047] For further optimization, an anti-slip pad is provided on the upper end of the arc plate 25.
[0048] In this way, in actual use, the arc plate 25 can fit the user's hand more closely, and is more convenient and smooth to use. After pressing the spring piece 8, the second pressing portion 10 first presses on the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2, so that the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2 offset the effect of the elastic member, so that the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2 are close to each other, and then the shell A4 and the shell B5 are close to each other to form a cavity 14; after the shell A4 and the shell B5 are buckled together, they cover the bumblebee, and the tweezers feet A1 and the tweezers feet B2 will not be able to move further. At this time, the first pressing portion 9 at the end of the arc plate 25 contacts the parallel portion A6 and the parallel portion B7, and under the action of the guide component, the parallel portion A6 and the parallel portion B7 are close to each other, so that the fluff 13 enters the cavity 14.
[0049] In actual use, the capture process requires observation of the situation of the bumblebees, so shell A4, shell B5, outer shell A22 and outer shell B23 can be made of transparent materials, which makes it convenient for the operator to control the movement of parallel parts A6 and parallel parts B7 according to the situation of the bumblebees, and then control the length of the fluff 13 entering the cavity 14.
[0050] Example 4
[0051] This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above 3. In this embodiment, a hair guide tube 19 is provided in the through hole 11. Both ends of the hair guide tube 19 extend out of the through hole 11 respectively. One end of the hair guide tube 19 extending into the shell A4 and the shell B5 is in a truncated cone shape, and the fluff 13 passes through the hair guide tube 19.
[0052] In this way, the hair guide tube 19 can guide the bristles 12 and the fluff 13, and can effectively prevent the fluff 13 and the bristles 12 from bending when the outer shell A22 and the outer shell B23 move, and enter between the outer shell A22 and the shell A4, and between the outer shell B23 and the shell B5, thereby affecting the amount of fluff 13 entering the cavity 14; and the set hair guide tube 19 can guide the fluff 13 or the bristles 12, even when the outer shell A22 is away from the shell A4, and the shell B23 is away from the shell B5, the fluff 13 can always remain in the hair guide tube 19, guiding it; and the end of the hair guide tube 19 extending into the shell A4 and the shell B5 is in a truncated cone shape, so that the fluff 13 can enter the cavity 14 and unfold in a dandelion shape, which is more fluffy and has a better anti-collision effect for bumblebees.
