Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of beekeeping equipment, and in particular to a honey feeder. Background Art

[0002] A honey feeder is a tool for beekeeping equipment, which is used to supplement food for bees when there is a shortage of food, for rewarding feeding, or when the concentration of honey is not enough, so that bees can use it for secondary brewing.

[0003] The existing connected honey feeders will stick to bees when feeding pure honey, and can only be diluted with water, which greatly increases the workload of bees and also increases losses. The honey feeder is large in volume and occupies space in the beehive. It does not have an automatic closing function when tilted. When multiple feeders are connected, if one of them is tilted and a large amount of honey water flows out, it will cause robbing bees. The sealing gasket of the float valve forms an oblique angle with the contact surface of the water outlet. After long-term use, the sealing gasket deforms and causes damage to the controller. The volume of the control area is larger than that of the feeding area, and all the space on the control area is wasted. If the water inlet is lower than the feeding area during installation, honey water will remain in the control area and deteriorate, which also increases the cost of the product and greatly limits the versatility of the product.

Detailed implementation manners

[0043] The terms used in the implementation manners part of this application are only for explaining the specific embodiments of this application, rather than aiming to limit this application.

[0044] The honey feeder is a beekeeping equipment tool, which is a device used to supplement the food of bees, reward feeding, or feed bees when the concentration of honey is not enough for them to re-brew.

[0045] In the related art, usually, sugar is mixed with water to form sugar water or honey is mixed with water to form honey water, which is fed to bees through a hose to a float valve feeder, or honey water is manually added to a container for feeding.

[0046] Existing frame feeders and float valve feeders are large in volume and take up space; the water level is very deep and bees are extremely likely to be drowned. They cannot feed pure honey and can only feed honey with added water. The honey with added water needs to be brewed into capped honey, which greatly increases the workload of bees. The upper part of the float in the float valve feeder is not utilized, it is large in volume and high in cost. The sealing gasket of the float valve is at an oblique angle with the contact surface of the water outlet and is easily damaged. The bees cannot suck up all the honey water in the controller, resulting in the remaining honey water deteriorating and affecting secondary use. The feeder cannot automatically close after being tilted, and a large amount of honey water flows out, wasting honey and causing robbing bees, resulting in huge losses.

[0047] In order to improve the service life of the honey feeder, reduce the occupied volume of the beehive, automatically close after being tilted, and be able to feed pure honey, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, this embodiment provides a honey feeder, which includes a honey tank; a feeding tray; a controller, and the feeding tray and the controller are both arranged on the honey tank; wherein, the controller controls the liquid level height of the honey tank to prevent liquid overflow.

[0048] With this structural design, the honey in the large barrel is connected to the controllers 3 of each beehive through a water pipe with a tee branch. After passing through the controller 3, it flows to the feeding tray 2. The feeding tray 2 is arranged on the float assembly 34, increasing the feeding area of the honey feeder. For large colonies, multiple extension trays 25 can be stacked on the feeding tray 2. A hose is connected between the water discharge pipe and the water inlet joint 251 to lead the honey to the top extension tray 25. Bees stand on the stepping points to feed. The stepping points are higher than the liquid level surface, and the honey does not stick to the bees' bodies. The excess honey flows from the water leakage port to the next lower extension tray 25 or the feeding tray 2. The excess honey on the feeding tray 2 flows from the water discharge port to the honey tank 1. The float assembly 34 in the honey tank 1 slowly floats up, pushing the movable pin upward. The movable pin pushes the bottom of the diaphragm 32, and the diaphragm 32 moves upward, reducing the gap between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet and reducing the honey outflow. Some bees feed at the honey collection port 15. When the liquid level in the honey tank 1 drops, the float assembly 34 sinks, and the gap between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet increases, increasing the honey flow rate at the water outlet. When the liquid level reaches the control point, the diaphragm 32 closely adheres to the water outlet, blocking the water outlet and stopping the honey outflow. When the honey tank 1 is tilted, the upper magnet and the lower magnet attract each other with opposite poles, and the movable pin pushes the diaphragm 32 upward to make the diaphragm 32 closely adhere to the water outlet, blocking the water outlet.

[0049] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in Figure 13 , this embodiment provides a design method. Specifically, the honey groove 1 includes a main body 11. A cavity 12 is provided in the middle of the main body 11. Honey collection ports 15 are provided at both ends of the cavity 12, and a limit point 16 is provided at the bottom. The main body 11 is provided with a support 13, a limit 17, and a fixing hole 18. The controller 3 and the feeding plate 2 are fixed on the honey groove 1 by the support 13, the limit 17, and the fixing hole 18. Through holes 19 are provided under some of the supports 13.

[0050] With this structural design, the feeding plate 2 is assembled on the upper part of the cavity 12, and the float assembly ball 34 is assembled under the feeding plate 2, which reduces the length of the float valve feeder. The feeding plate 2 and the controller 3 are fixed on the honey groove 1 by the support 13, the limit 17, and the fixing hole 18. Through holes 19 are provided under some of the supports 13 to allow the honey water under the float assembly 34 to flow to the honey collection port 15. Honey collection ports 15 are provided at both ends of the honey groove 1. No matter which side the honey groove 1 inclines to, the bees can suck up the honey at the bottom of the honey groove 1. A limit point 16 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 12 to prevent the float assembly 34 from sticking to the honey groove 1.

[0051] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in Figure 13 , this embodiment provides a design method. Specifically, the feeding plate 2 is provided with a frame 21. A water discharge port 22 is provided on the frame 21. A stepping point 23 is provided in the middle of the feeding plate 2.

[0052] With this structural design, the honey in the water discharge pipe flows into the feeding plate 2. The feeding plate is provided with a water discharge port 22 to keep the stepping point 23 above the liquid level surface so as not to stick to the bee's body. The bees stand on the stepping point 23 to feed. The excess honey flows from the water discharge port 22 to the honey groove 1. The feeding plate 2 is provided with a frame 21 to prevent the honey from flowing to the side.

[0053] As Figures 5 - 8 shown, this embodiment provides a design method. Specifically, the feeding plate 2 further includes: an extension plate 25. The extension plate 25 is provided with a frame 21. A stepping point 23 is provided in the middle of the frame 21. A water inlet joint 251, a water leakage port 252, and a support foot 253 are provided under the extension plate 25. The extension plate 25 is fixed on the feeding plate 2.

[0054] With this structural design, the extension plate 25 is added to the feeding plate 2. The extension plates 25 can be stacked in multiple layers. The number of extension plates 25 can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the strength of the bee colony, greatly increasing the feeding area. The water discharge pipe is connected to the water inlet joint 251 under the lower part of the uppermost extension plate 25 by a flexible hose. The honey flows from the water inlet joint 251 into the extension plate 25. The bees stand on the stepping point 23 to feed on the honey. The excess honey flows from the water leakage port 252 to the lower extension plate 25 or the feeding plate 2. The extension plate 25 is provided with a frame 21 to prevent the honey from flowing to the side.

[0055] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 10 - 16 shown, this embodiment provides a design method. Specifically, the controller 3 includes an upper body 31; a diaphragm 32; a lower body 33; and a floating ball assembly 34. The diaphragm 32 is disposed between the upper body 31 and the lower body 33, and the floating ball assembly 34 is disposed below the lower body 33.

[0056] With this structural design, honey flows through the hose connector 311 to the water outlet 312, and after flowing out of the water outlet 312, it reaches the water diversion trough 313; blocked by the diaphragm 32, the honey can only flow from the water discharge pipe 314 to the feeding tray 2 or be led to the extension tray 25 by a hose. The excess honey on the feeding tray 2 flows from the water discharge port to the honey trough 1. The floating ball assembly 34 in the honey trough 1 slowly floats up, pushing the movable pin 333 upward. The movable pin 333 pushes the bottom of the diaphragm 32, and the diaphragm 32 moves upward, reducing the gap between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet 312 and reducing the honey output. Some bees feed at the honey collection port 15. When the liquid level in the honey trough 1 drops, the floating ball assembly 34 sinks, the gap between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet 312 increases, and the honey flow rate of the water outlet 312 is increased. When the liquid level reaches the control point, the diaphragm 32 closely adheres to the water outlet 312, blocking the water outlet 312 and stopping the honey output. When the honey trough 1 is tilted, the upper magnet 352 and the lower magnet 353 attract each other with opposite poles, and the movable pin 333 pushes the diaphragm 32 closely against the water outlet 312, blocking the water outlet 312.

[0057] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 11 shown, this embodiment provides a design method. Specifically, the upper body 31 is provided with a hose connector 311. One end of the hose connector 311 is provided with a water outlet 312, and a water diversion trough 313 is provided beside the water outlet 312. The water diversion trough 313 is connected to the water discharge pipe 314. The water diversion trough 313 diverts the honey flowing out of the water outlet 312 to the water discharge pipe 314 and flows to the feeding tray 2 or is led to the extension tray by a hose.

[0058] With this structural design, the honey is transported by a hose to the hose connector 311 and flows out of the water outlet 312. Blocked by the diaphragm 32 in the water diversion trough 313, the honey can only flow from the water discharge pipe 314 to the feeding tray 2 or be led to the extension tray by a hose.

[0059] As Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a design method. Specifically, the lower main body 33 is provided with a notch 331, a limiting hole 332 is provided on the notch 331, a movable pin 333 is provided in the middle of the limiting hole 332, and the movable pin 333 changes the contact angle between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet 312, so that the diaphragm 32 is in plane contact with the water outlet 312. A limiting ring 334 is provided on the movable pin 333, and the lower main body 33 is provided with a rotating shaft 335, and the rotating shaft 335 is rotatably connected to the floating ball assembly 34.

[0060] With this structural design, the lower main body 33 is provided with a notch 331 for assembling the diaphragm 32 and the movable pin 333. The limiting hole 332 prevents the movable pin 333 from moving left and right. The movable pin 333 changes the contact angle between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet 312, so that the diaphragm 32 is in plane contact with the water outlet 312, extending the service life of the diaphragm 32. The limiting ring 334 on the movable pin 333 prevents the movable pin 333 from falling out of the limiting hole 332. The rotating shaft 335 of the lower main body 33 is rotatably connected to the floating ball assembly 34. The floating ball assembly 34 in the honey groove slowly floats up, pushing the movable pin 333 to move upward. The movable pin 333 pushes the bottom of the diaphragm 32, and the diaphragm 32 moves upward, reducing the gap between the diaphragm 32 and the water outlet 312 and reducing the honey output until the movable pin 333 pushes the diaphragm 32 to block the water outlet 312.
