Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agriculture, and in particular to an underground bionic temperature control device for bumblebees. Background Art

[0002] In the current greenhouse crop seed production industry, commonly used pollination methods include artificial pollination and insect pollination. However, as the age of workers in agricultural production is generally older and labor costs are gradually rising, insect pollination is becoming the main production method for greenhouse crop seed production (pollination). Compared with honey bees, bumblebees have more advantages in greenhouse seed production (pollination): bumblebees are large, have a long lifespan, a long proboscis, and a strong collecting ability. They are particularly effective in pollinating Solanaceae crops and deep-crowned floribunda crops with special odors. In addition, bumblebees are resistant to high temperatures, have poor phototropism, are not easy to crash into greenhouses, have strong adaptability to low temperatures and low light density, and can go out of the nest to collect on rainy days.

[0003] Soybean is one of the important food crops in my country and is widely used in many industries such as food, medicine, feed and industry. When producing hybrid soybean seeds, pollination must be carried out in the net shed for accurate seed production. Soybean is a self-pollinating crop with a low outcrossing rate and low pollen and nectar content. Bees and other nectar-loving pollinating insects are less efficient than bumblebees in collecting soybean flowers in net sheds. Therefore, bumblebees have gradually become the preferred insects in hybrid soybean seed production in net sheds.

[0004] Due to the growth characteristics of soybeans, the flowering period of soybeans is in the hot summer, and the external environment is dry, which has a great impact on bumblebees producing soybean seeds in net sheds. Especially in northern my country, the weather is hot in July when soybeans bloom, and the environmental temperature in the net shed soybean pollination is relatively higher, sometimes the highest ambient ground temperature is as high as 40-45°C. Excessively high ambient temperatures cause the queen bee in the bee colony to stop producing, the development of eggs, larvae and pupae is hindered, and the worker bees are restless, which makes it easy for bees to be stolen between different bee colonies, ultimately resulting in reduced pollination efficiency and shortened pollination time for bumblebees. There is currently no effective method to address this phenomenon. The only way is to place the beehive on a shelf 30 cm above the floor of the shed and use simple shields to block direct sunlight, which has little effect on the impact of high temperature on the bumblebee colony. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a ventilated and constant temperature underground bionic temperature control device for bumblebees, which can adjust the temperature and humidity of the beehive to meet the living needs of bumblebees, increase the egg-laying amount and spawning rate of bumblebees, extend the breeding cycle of the bee colony, improve the collection efficiency of bumblebees, and then ensure the pollination effect and quality of soybeans.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device also includes at least one foam plate arranged in the accommodating cavity; and when the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device includes two foam plates, the two foam plates are arranged at intervals and are respectively arranged adjacent to the top and bottom of the accommodating cavity.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device also includes a soil layer, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity and located at the top of the accommodating cavity.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the inlet and outlet pipes are threaded hoses.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention have at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:

At the same time, because the underground environment is conducive to the bee colony being in a relatively constant dark environment, it is also more conducive to the continuous egg laying and larval development in the bee colony, and can provide a suitable rest environment for the bumblebee collecting bees during the high temperature period of pollination, so that the collecting bees maintain physical strength and improve the pollination efficiency, so as to further ensure the pollination effect and quality of soybeans.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the positions or positional relationships in which the product of the invention is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] In the related art, the high ambient temperature during the soybean pollination season seriously affects the efficiency and quality of bumblebee pollination. In order to solve this technical problem, the prior art usually uses shielding objects to shield the beehive. Although this method can alleviate the high temperature caused by direct sunlight to a certain extent, and can also achieve a certain insulation, rain and wind protection effect in continuous rainy and windy weather, it cannot avoid the impact caused by excessive temperature differences. Bumblebees are still prone to flashing, egg damage, and bee damage. It cannot fundamentally solve the problems caused by high temperatures and has little effect on the bumblebee colony.

[0035] In view of this, this embodiment provides a bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device, which sets a beehive below the ground surface and adjusts the temperature and humidity in the beehive through temperature and humidity detection components and ventilation technology to meet the needs of bumblebee life and reproduction, thereby ensuring pollination efficiency. The structure of the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device is described in detail below.

[0036] Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 provided in this embodiment Figure 1 ; Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 provided in this embodiment Figure 2 ; Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 provided in this embodiment Figure 3 . See Figures 1 to 3In this embodiment, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 is arranged below the ground surface to ensure that the device has a relatively low temperature as a whole. For example, in July in the summer of Jilin, the temperature can be controlled between 20-28°C compared to when the device is placed above the ground surface, thereby facilitating the life and reproduction of bumblebees, and further facilitating the bumblebees to pollinate soybeans. It should be noted that in this embodiment, bumblebees are used to pollinate soybeans. In other embodiments, the device can also be used to pollinate crops that reproduce in summer, such as sunflowers, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0037] Please refer again Figures 1 to 3 In the present embodiment, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 specifically includes a shell 101 , a ventilation pipe 105 and a beehive 109 .

[0038] In detail, the shell 101 is generally cylindrical, or rectangular or cube-shaped, and is buried below the ground surface to ensure the safety and reliability of its internal structure, so that bumblebees can normally enter and exit the shell 101 to perform pollination operations. At the same time, the shell 101 has a receiving cavity, and the arrangement of the receiving cavity enables the beehive 109 to be safely and reliably stored in the shell 101, so as to ensure the safety and reliability of the bumblebee's life and reproduction.

[0039] It should be noted that the shell 101 can be made of wood, plastic, ceramic or metal, preferably wood to adapt to the living environment of bumblebees. Of course, in other embodiments, the material can be adjusted according to demand, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0040] In detail, the ventilation pipe 105 is connected to the accommodating chamber and has a ventilation port 107 extending above the ground surface. Through the arrangement of the ventilation port 107 and the ventilation pipe 105, the environment in the accommodating chamber can be connected to the outside world, so that when ventilation operation is required, the environment in the accommodating chamber can be ventilated to ensure the cleanliness and temperature and humidity of its internal environment, thereby ensuring that the beehive 109 meets the living and breeding needs of bumblebees. At the same time, a valve for closing or opening the ventilation port 107 is provided at the ventilation port 107. By setting it in this way, when ventilation treatment is not required, the ventilation port 107 does not need to be opened, and when ventilation operation is required, ventilation can be performed by opening the valve, which is conducive to improving ventilation efficiency.

[0041] In detail, the beehive 109 is arranged in the accommodating chamber for the bumblebees to rest and reproduce, and the beehive 109 is connected with an inlet and outlet pipe 115, which has an inlet and outlet 116. The end of the inlet and outlet pipe 115 away from the beehive 109 can extend above the ground surface for the bumblebees to enter and exit the beehive 109, that is, the inlet and outlet pipe 115 is arranged so that the bumblebees can move to the ground surface through the inlet and outlet 116 of the inlet and outlet pipe 115 to pollinate soybeans, and it is also convenient for the bumblebees to move to the beehive 109 through the inlet and outlet 116 of the inlet and outlet pipe 115 to supplement food, rest and reproduce. In addition, a temperature and humidity detection member 111 is arranged in the beehive 109 for detecting the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109, so as to adjust the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 by opening the valve at the vent 107 when the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 deviate from the preset value. That is, when the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 are too high, the valve at the vent 107 can be opened so that the beehive 109 is connected to the outside through the ventilation pipe 105 for ventilation, thereby returning the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 to a normal range to better meet the living needs of bumblebees.

[0042] That is, through the above arrangement, the underground bionic temperature control device 100 for bumblebees is arranged below the ground surface, so that it has a lower temperature than that located above the ground surface during the soybean pollination season, and is more suitable for the life and reproduction of bumblebees. At the same time, through the cooperation of the ventilation pipe 105 and the temperature and humidity detection member 111 in the beehive 109, when the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 deviate from the values ​​of the normal life and reproduction of bumblebees, it can be ventilated through the ventilation pipe 105 to restore it to the value range of normal temperature and humidity, so that the temperature and humidity of the beehive 109 can be adjusted to meet the life needs of the bumblebees, so that the beehive 109 can always be in a ventilated and constant temperature state, thereby increasing the egg-laying amount and the rate of spawning of bumblebees, extending the reproduction cycle of the bee colony, and improving the collection efficiency of bumblebees, and then ensuring the pollination effect and quality of soybeans. At the same time, since the underground environment is conducive to the bee colony being in a relatively constant dark environment, it is also more conducive to the continuous egg-laying and larval development within the bee colony. It can provide a suitable resting environment for bumblebee forage bees during the high temperature period of pollination, allowing the forage bees to maintain their physical strength and improve pollination efficiency, thereby further ensuring the pollination effect and quality of soybeans.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the inlet and outlet pipe 115 is a threaded hose, and the inlet and outlet pipe 115 is set as a threaded hose so that the inner wall of the inlet and outlet pipe 115 has a certain concave-convex structure, so that it is convenient for bumblebees to attach to the inner side of the inlet and outlet pipe 115, and it is also convenient to ensure that the bumblebees can normally enter and exit the beehive 109 to perform pollination operations. Of course, in other embodiments, the inlet and outlet pipe 115 can also be set as a round tube, and a concave-convex structure is set inside the round tube, or its inner wall is set as a side wall with a higher friction degree to ensure that the bumblebees can normally enter and exit, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0044] Please refer again Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, in the direction close to the ground surface, the beehive 109 has a bottom wall 117 and a top wall 119 that are spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other, and the temperature and humidity detection element 111 is arranged at a position of the beehive 109 close to the top wall 119. Since the brood combs 149 produced by the bumblebees living in the beehive 109 are arranged in a roughly arc-shaped pile structure, the temperature and humidity detection element 111 is arranged at a position close to the top wall 119 of the beehive 109, which can ensure the accuracy and reliability of its detection results and avoid being affected by the brood combs 149, so that the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 can be adjusted more accurately to meet the living and reproduction needs of the bumblebees, thereby improving the pollination efficiency and quality.

[0045] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the temperature and humidity detection member 111 is located at the center of the upper 1 / 3 of the beehive 109 to fully ensure that the brood comb 149 does not affect the detection result of the temperature and humidity detection member 111, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection result. Of course, in other embodiments, the temperature and humidity detection member 111 can also be set at a position such as the top wall 119 of the beehive 109, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0046] At the same time, it should be noted that the temperature and humidity detection member 111 can be selected as a temperature and humidity sensor, and its structure is the same as that of the temperature and humidity sensor in the prior art. At the same time, when the temperature and humidity sensor detects that the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 are too high, the action of opening the valve can be completed manually or by a controller such as a PLC. When it is performed by a controller, it only utilizes the control function of the controller itself, and does not involve improvements to the computer program.

[0047] Please refer again Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 also includes a wiring tube 121 and a ventilation layer 123. The wiring tube 121 is connected to the accommodating cavity for various lines to pass through, so as to ensure the safety of the lines after being buried under the ground. For example, in this embodiment, a fan 125 is provided in the ventilation layer 123, and the first connecting line 127 of the fan 125 is led out through the wiring tube 121 to be connected to the power supply; the second connecting line 129 of the temperature and humidity detection element 111 is also led out through the wiring tube 121 to be connected to the power supply.

[0048] In detail, the ventilation layer 123 is specifically located above the beehive 109, and it is arranged on the side of the beehive 109 close to the ground surface through the support plate 145. A plurality of fans 125 are arranged in the ventilation layer 123, and the plurality of fans 125 are arranged at intervals. Through the arrangement of the plurality of fans 125, on the one hand, when the temperature and humidity detection member 111 detects that the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 deviate from the normal value, after the vent 107 is opened by the valve, the ventilation operation is carried out in coordination, so that the ventilation effect is better. On the other hand, through the arrangement of the fan 125, the cooling and dehumidification operations can also be provided, and the harmful gases produced by the defecation of the bee colony when it is bred underground can be quickly discharged, so as to ensure that the air of the bee colony is smooth and the oxygen is sufficient, thereby fully ensuring that the environment in the beehive 109 is suitable for the life and reproduction of bumblebees.

[0049] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the number of fans 125 of the ventilation layer 123 is three, and two fans 125 are arranged in front of the ventilation layer 123 at intervals, and the remaining fan 125 is arranged behind the ventilation layer 123 to fully ensure the ventilation effect and quality. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of fans 125 can also be adjusted according to demand, for example, it can be selected to be two, four or more, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the ventilation layer 123 also includes a support frame 147 located above the fan 125. The support frame 147 is opposite to the support plate 145 and is spaced apart from each other to fully ensure the installation strength, stability and reliability of other structures in the shell 101.

[0051] Please refer again Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the underground bionic temperature control device 100 for bumblebees further includes a feed holding mechanism 131, in which liquid feed required by bumblebees is held. At the same time, the feed holding mechanism 131 is arranged in the accommodation cavity, and is located below the beehive 109, and is connected to the beehive 109, and is used to provide feed for the bumblebees in the beehive 109, so that the bumblebees have enough feed during reproduction and life, thereby providing the bumblebees with energy for life activities and pollination operations, and ensuring the efficiency and quality of pollination operations.

[0052] As an optional solution, the feed holding mechanism 131 has a supplementary feeding port 133, which is located at the top of the feed holding mechanism 131 and in the direction close to the side wall. The bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 also includes a supplementary feeding tube 143 connected to the supplementary feeding port 133. The supplementary feeding tube 143 can be a hose, which can be arranged in the connecting tube like the first connecting line 127 and the second connecting line 129, and can also be separated into two pipes. The supplementary feeding tube 143 has a feeding port 135 that can extend above the ground surface, so as to supplement the feed to the feed holding mechanism 131 through the feeding port 135.

[0053] It should be noted that the time for pollinating soybeans in greenhouses with bumblebees is generally more than 20 days, and liquid feed needs to be supplemented 1-2 times. The common method requires moving the beehive 109, then adding feed and returning the bee colony to normal, but each moving process causes great stress to the bee colony, which seriously affects the laying of eggs by the queen bee and the collection of worker bees. Therefore, the provision of the supplementary feeding port 133 and the supplementary feeding tube 143 can not only quickly supplement the nutrients to the bee colony and ensure the freshness of the feed, but also avoid the stress response of the beehive 109 to the bee colony when conventionally supplementing feed, thereby creating the best conditions for the breeding of the bee colony and better completing the pollination task.

[0054] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, a valve can also be provided at the feeding port 135 to open the feeding port 135 for feeding when needed. At the same time, generally speaking, the vent 107 and the feeding port 135 are closed, and the vent 107 and the feeding port 135 are opened before the fan 125 of the ventilation layer 123 is turned on to ensure the normal operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the vent 107 and the feeding port 135 can also be opened regularly according to demand to improve the operation efficiency, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0055] Please refer again Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 further includes at least one foam board 137 disposed in the accommodating cavity. The foam board 137 can be used to isolate the moisture of the soil at the bottom after rain, and can also provide effective heat insulation, so that the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 meet the living and reproduction needs of the bumblebees, thereby further ensuring the pollination efficiency and quality.

[0056] As an optional solution, the number of foam plates 137 is two, and the two foam plates 137 are arranged at intervals and are respectively arranged adjacent to the top and bottom of the accommodating cavity, and one is located above the ventilation layer 123, and the other is located at the bottom layer of the shell 101, so as to fully ensure that the temperature and humidity of the entire beehive 109 meet the requirements. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of foam plates 137 and the positions where they are installed can also be adjusted according to requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0057] Further optionally, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 also includes a straw layer 139, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity and adjacent to the top of the accommodating cavity, and specifically located between the foam board 137 and the beehive 109, for providing effective heat preservation and insulation, and fully ensuring that the temperature and humidity of the environment in the beehive 109 meet the living and reproduction needs of the bumblebees, thereby further ensuring the pollination efficiency and quality.

[0058] Furthermore, the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 also includes a soil layer 141, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity and located at the top of the accommodating cavity. It utilizes the original soil structure under the surface to provide effective heat insulation, constant temperature and sound insulation for the entire device, creating an ideal living space for the normal reproduction of bumblebees, thereby further ensuring the pollination efficiency and quality.

[0059] That is, in this embodiment, not only can the temperature and humidity be adjusted by the temperature and humidity detection member 111 and the ventilation pipe 105, but also the temperature and humidity of the bee colony living environment can be effectively adjusted through multiple insulation layers (foam board 137, straw layer 139, ventilation layer 123, soil layer 141), while the underground dark environment guarantees the living conditions of the bee colony, thereby ensuring the efficiency and quality of pollination. At the same time, in other embodiments, the positions between the layers of the structure in the multiple insulation layers can also be adjusted according to demand, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0060] The working principle and beneficial effects of the bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail below:

[0061] Through the setting of this bumblebee underground bionic temperature control device 100, when in use, it can be first installed below the ground surface, and then the beehive 109 is kept in a constant temperature and humidity state through the cooperation of the temperature and humidity detection component 111 and the ventilation pipe 105, and then the bumblebees can enter and exit the beehive 109 through the entry and exit pipe 115, and can replenish feed in real time through the feeding tube 143. Moreover, through multiple insulation layers (foam board 137, straw layer 139, ventilation layer 123, soil layer 141), the temperature and humidity of the living environment of the bee colony can be effectively adjusted to ensure the effective implementation of the bumblebee's life, reproduction and pollination operations.

[0062] In the above process, the underground bionic temperature control device 100 for bumblebees is arranged below the ground surface, so it has a lower temperature than that above the ground surface during the soybean pollination season, and is more suitable for the life and reproduction of bumblebees. At the same time, through the cooperation of the ventilation pipe 105 and the temperature and humidity detection member 111 in the beehive 109, when the temperature and humidity in the beehive 109 deviate from the values ​​of the normal life and reproduction of bumblebees, it can be ventilated through the ventilation pipe 105 to restore it to the value range of normal temperature and humidity, so that the temperature and humidity of the beehive 109 can be adjusted to meet the life needs of the bumblebees, so that the beehive 109 can always be in a ventilated and constant temperature state, thereby increasing the egg-laying amount and the rate of spawning of bumblebees, extending the reproduction cycle of the bee colony, and improving the collection efficiency of bumblebees, and then ensuring the pollination effect and quality of soybeans. At the same time, since the underground environment is conducive to the bee colony being in a relatively constant dark environment, it is also more conducive to the continuous egg laying and larval development in the bee colony, and can provide a suitable resting environment for the bumblebee collectors during the high temperature period of pollination, so that the collectors can maintain their physical strength and improve the pollination efficiency, so as to further ensure the pollination effect and quality of soybeans. At the same time, through multiple insulation layers (foam board 137, straw layer 139, ventilation layer 123, soil layer 141), the temperature and humidity of the bee colony living environment can be effectively adjusted, thereby further ensuring the pollination efficiency and quality.

[0063] To sum up, the embodiments of the present invention provide a ventilated and constant temperature underground bionic temperature control device 100 for bumblebees, which can adjust the temperature and humidity of the beehive 109 to meet the living needs of bumblebees, increase the egg-laying amount and spawning rate of bumblebees, extend the breeding cycle of the bee colony, improve the collection efficiency of bumblebees, and thereby ensure the pollination effect and quality of soybeans.

[0064] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
