Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bee feeding devices, and in particular relates to an ultra-thin box bottom feeding device with automatic pipeline input and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bee feed is the basis for bee survival. When the climate is suitable and nectar plants secrete nectar, bees can go out of the nest to collect nectar.

[0003] Collecting nectar and water to meet the needs of the bee colony. When there is inclement weather such as low temperatures, rain, snow, strong winds, and sandstorms, bees are unable to leave the hive to collect nectar, or when there is a lack of external nectar sources and bees cannot collect nectar, the bee colony is prone to lack of feed and water and death. To meet the bee colony's reproductive and survival needs, artificial feeding of feed or water is necessary. During the wintering period, to ensure the bees' safe wintering, they need to be fed a large amount of feed before the winter to complete the winter feed reserve. Artificial feeding of liquid feed is a top priority in bee breeding and management.

[0004] Currently, the most common method of feeding bees is open-box feeding. This involves removing the insulation, lid, cloth, and gauze coverings outside the hive. A feeding box is placed outside the hive, close to the baffle. Floating objects are placed inside the box to dislodge the bees. Liquid feed is then manually poured into the box using a bucket for the bees to consume. After the feed is added, the gauze, cloth, lid, and insulation must be returned to their original positions.

[0005] Disadvantages of conventional bee feeding:

[0006] 1. Each time you feed the bees, you need to open the beehive's outer insulation, box cover, cloth, gauze cover, etc., drive the bees out of the feeding box, manually use a container to transport and pour the feed, and finally restore the gauze cover, cloth, box cover, and outer insulation. This requires the cooperation of many people, consumes manpower, and is tedious and tiring.

[0007] 2. Open-box feeding can easily cause the nest temperature to drop and change, destroying the normal living environment of bees and reducing reproductive efficiency;

[0008] 3. The feeding box is located in the cold outer area of ​​the hive. When the bees are weak or the temperature is low, there are fewer bees, making it difficult to effectively transport feed, and the feeding effect is not achieved.

[0009] 4. In strong swarms or hot weather, there are many bees gathered in the feeding box. In order to avoid drowning the bees, the box needs to be opened and cooled to allow the bees to return to the nest. Feed can only be poured in when there are no bees in the feeding box. The waiting time is long and the feeding is slow.

[0010] 5. In order to prevent bee theft, the bees should be opened for feeding in the evening when they stop flying. The feeding time is strictly required.

[0011] 6. The feed in the feeding box is too deep. When bees gather to feed, they are likely to fall into the feed under the floating objects and drown. Especially when the outside temperature is low, the bee drowning rate is higher and the colony strength declines rapidly.

[0012] 7. When there is severe weather such as strong wind, rain, snow, sandstorm, etc., it is difficult to open the box for feeding, and the feed cannot be put in normally, which may easily lead to the death of bees from starvation;

[0013] 8. Each time you add a spleen to expand the nest, you need to manually move the feeding box to the outside of the hive to expand the space inside the hive to add spleens. When the bee colony develops to a colony with more than 7 spleens, or a strong queen-raising colony or a double-queen colony, there is no space in the box to place the feeding box for feeding. You can only stack an empty box on top of the bee colony to place the feeding box for feeding. Feeding is inflexible and limited.

[0014] 9. The bees that participate in transporting feed suck the feed from the relatively steep and deep feeding box. Their abdomens become larger, and they drag their heavy abdomens around the gaps in the front, back, top and bottom of the side baffles of the hive, enter the hive, and load and unload the feed into the empty cells of the honeycomb for storage. The bees have a relatively long and laborious way to get food, and transporting the feed is slow and inefficient.

[0015] Conventional methods of feeding bees are labor-intensive, cumbersome, and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency, high mortality rates, and rapid colony decline. Feeding times, procedures, colony strength ranges, and conditions are stringent and restrictive. In severe weather or under unusual circumstances, feeding cannot proceed normally, leading to bees starving and dying. Each feeding requires re-opening the box and adding feed, a complex process, and frequent openings severely impact the normal reproduction of bees.

[0016] Therefore, it is urgent to design a pipeline automatic input ultra-thin box bottom feeding device and a method of use to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] Example 1:

[0058] Reference Figure 1-6 The present invention discloses a pipeline automatic input ultra-thin box bottom feeding device, which is characterized by comprising:

[0059] The storage tank 1 is arranged higher than the beehive 12; the present invention does not require opening the box, and the pipeline automatically transports feed. The storage tank 1 is higher than the beehive 12, and the feed in the storage tank 1 automatically flows out, passes through the hive door 13 along the pipeline, and enters the suction box 7 located above the bottom of the box and the bottom space of the comb for bees to suck. The float 24 floats and drives the sealing pad to regulate the flow of liquid feed, keeping the feed liquid level stable and long-lasting.

[0060] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding box 7, which is provided with several feeding boxes 7. The feeding box 7 is provided at the bottom of the honeycomb of the beehive. In the present invention, the feeding box 7 is at the bottom of the honeycomb, which is the lower part of the bee gathering area. The temperature is high and stable. The influence of bad weather on this area is very weak. The bees can always suck feed normally. At the same time, the bees suck feed from the feeding box 7 and can directly climb up the honeycomb and load and unload it into the nest room nearby. The crawling distance is short, labor-saving, and the efficiency of transporting feed is high and the speed is fast. The feeding box 7 includes a first feeding area, a second feeding area and a float adjustment area. There are two node areas and the second feeding area. The float adjustment area is located between the first feeding area and the second feeding area. The first blocking part is installed in the first feeding area and the second blocking part is installed in the second feeding area. When the beehive 12 is horizontal, feed will appear in the first and second feeding areas of the feeding box 7 at the same time, maximizing the area for the bees to suck feed. When the beehive 12 is not placed horizontally, feed will appear in any of the first and second feeding areas to ensure that the bees can suck feed. The device for feeding bees does not require the beehive 12 to be placed absolutely horizontally.

[0061] The pipeline mechanism includes a material distribution pipeline portion and an L-shaped material delivery pipe. The material distribution pipeline portion is connected to the storage tank 1. L-shaped material delivery pipes are installed on a plurality of smoking boxes 7. The L-shaped material delivery pipes are connected to the material distribution pipeline portion;

[0062] The float mechanism includes a float 24, which is located in the float adjustment area. A sealing portion is fixedly connected to one side of the float 24, and the sealing portion is rotatably connected to the L-shaped feed pipe.

[0063] When the bees need to be fed, the bees can inhale the feed by simply opening the pipe valve. Feeding is simple and convenient, which greatly reduces the labor of feeding the bees, saves manpower, achieves twice the result with half the effort, and significantly improves work efficiency. The feeding time is flexible. The bees can be fed normally in adverse weather such as low temperature, rain, snow, strong wind, sandstorm, etc., to ensure the normal supply of bee feed. For bee colonies in various states such as weak colonies, strong colonies, flat-box colonies, super-box colonies, double-queen colonies, and queen-raising colonies, the ultra-thin box bottom feeding device can be used to automatically input feed into the bees through the pipe, which has good feeding effect, wide application range and flexibility.

[0064] The present invention is not only convenient for feeding a single bee colony, but is also more suitable for feeding multiple bee colonies, providing powerful feeding technology support for standardized and large-scale bee breeding.

[0065] Further references Figure 1 The top of the storage tank 1 is detachably connected to a cover 9 , an air inlet 10 is opened at the top of the cover 9 , a bracket 11 is provided under the storage tank 1 , and the storage tank 1 is placed on the bracket 11 .

[0066] Furthermore, the peripheral height of the feeding box 7 is less than 1.7 cm. It is just placed between the bottom plate 27 of the beehive 12 and the lower end surface of the honeycomb (the distance between the bottom plate 27 of the beehive 12 and the lower end surface of the honeycomb is 1.7 cm), and the space utilization is reasonable. No matter whether it is a strong colony, a weak colony, a single queen colony, a double queen colony, or a queen-raising colony, the honeycomb cannot touch the feeding box 7 when adding a spleen to expand the nest or moving the honeycomb during daily inspection. The feeding box 7 placed on the bottom of the box does not need to be moved, can be assembled once, can be used for long-term feeding, and is flexible and applicable. The ultra-low feed liquid level of less than 1.7 cm in the feeding box 7 is very safe for sucking bees and does not hurt the bees.

[0067] Further references Figure 3 The bottom end plate 14 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 18 and a plurality of second grooves 19 on one side thereof close to the enclosure 15. The starting points of the first grooves 18 and the second grooves 19 are both located in the float adjustment area, the end points of the first grooves 18 are located in the first suction area, and the end points of the second grooves 19 are located in the second suction area. The depths of the first grooves 18 and the second grooves 19 gradually deepen from the starting point to the end point. The bottom end of the suction box 7 of the present invention is provided with the first grooves 18 and the second grooves 19, which pass through the first suction area, the second suction area and the float adjustment area. When the feed fills the grooves under the float, the float will be floated up in time to prevent the float from adhering to the bottom end plate 14 and not floating up, causing the feed to continuously enter the suction box 7 in excess of the standard.

[0068] Furthermore, the upper cover plate 29 is made of ABS material, and the main pipe 3, the branch pipe 5, the transverse pipe 33 and the longitudinal pipe 34 are all made of silicone material, which cannot be damaged by the bees' mandibles and can be used for a long time.

The float 24 control area has an upper cover 29 and a blocking column for isolation and protection. Bees and impurities cannot enter the float 24 control area to affect the rise and fall of the float. It is placed once and does not need to be moved for a long time. It can be used normally. The panel 15 is fixed to the top of the bottom plate 14. An opening 23 is opened on the panel 15. The opening 23 is located between the two second suction areas.

[0079] Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent diverter plates and the spacing between the diverter plates and the enclosure 15 are both less than 10 cm. The body length of a bee is 10-13 mm. When a large number of bees are sucking feed, there are sufficient attachment support points to reduce the risk of the bees falling into the feed and drowning. Even if the bees' bodies are stuck to the feed liquid, they can climb out in time to save themselves. The extremely low bee mortality rate ensures that the strength of the bee colony sucking feed will not be significantly weakened.

[0081] The first and second blocking plates 16 and 22 in the first and second suction zones, as well as the first and second blocking columns, effectively prevent bees and impurities from entering the float adjustment zone and affecting the normal lifting and lowering adjustment of the float, ensuring normal adjustment of the float.

[0082] Further references Figure 1 The material distribution pipeline part includes a main pipeline 3, which is connected to the storage tank 1. The end of the main pipeline 3 is detachably connected to a plug 8. A main valve 2 is installed on the main pipeline 3. The side of the main valve 2 away from the storage tank 1 is connected to several three-way joints 4. The gathering ends of the several three-way joints 4 are all connected to branch pipelines 5. Branch valves 6 are installed on the branch pipelines 5. The ends of the branch pipelines 5 are connected to the horizontal pipe 33.

[0083] Further references Figure 4 The float 24 is a hollow structure made of high-density foam or blow-molded plastic. The front end of the float 24 is thinner than the rear end, and the rear end is thinner than the height of the float adjustment area. The float 24 fits snugly within the float adjustment area, and the area of ​​the float 24 is smaller than the area of ​​the float adjustment area. The float is a thin, blow-molded hollow body or high-density foam, offering light weight, a large surface area, and excellent buoyancy.

[0084] Furthermore, the sealing pad is made of thermoplastic rubber (TPR) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and its shape is adapted to the pad box, and its area is smaller than the area of ​​the pad box. The sealing pad is made of TPR or TPE, has strong elasticity and retractability, and can timely block or disengage the discharge port 8, ensuring a stable liquid level of the feed in the feeding box 7.

[0085] A method for using a pipe-automatic feeding device for ultra-thin box bottoms, using the above-mentioned pipe-automatic feeding device for ultra-thin box bottoms, is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0086] S1. Fix the sealing pad in the pad box;

[0087] S2. Insert the rotating holes 26 of the end plates 25 on both sides of the rubber pad box into the rotating shafts at both ends of the central shaft;

[0088] S3. Fit the slot on the fixed transverse tube 33 tightly into the opening 23 of the enclosure plate 15;

[0089] S4. Align the fixing column 30 of the upper cover plate 29 of the float adjustment area with the fixing pipe 20 and press it down to tightly cover the upper part of the float adjustment area;

[0090] S5. Tightly sleeve the branch pipe 5 with the corresponding inner diameter onto the thread of the horizontal pipe 33;

[0091] S6. Place the beehive 12 flat;

[0092] S7. With the first feeding area facing inward and the second feeding area facing outward, push the feeding box 7 from the nest door 13 along the top of the box bottom into the middle position of the beehive 12; set a branch valve 6 on the branch pipe 5 exposed outside the box, and connect the other end of the branch pipe 5 to the main pipe 3 via a tee joint 4. The main pipe 3 is connected to the storage tank 1 at its starting end and closed at its end by a plug 8; fix the main pipe 3 and the branch pipe 5 to the outer box wall above the feeding box 7; place the feed storage tank 1 between 0.1 meters and 1.5 meters above the feeding box 7; and place the storage tank 1 above the main pipe 3 and the branch pipe 5;

[0093] S8, the pipe entering the nest door 13 is close to the side of the nest door 13, which is conducive to shrinking the nest door 13 when there is bad weather such as low temperature and strong wind outside;

[0094] S9, when feeding, pour the filtered liquid feed into the storage tank 1, open the main valve 2, and close or open the branch valve 6 according to the feed demand of each group;

[0095] S10, placing a feeding box 7 in each area of ​​the double-king colony nest box;

[0096] S11. When the bee colony is moved to another location, separate the main pipe 3 and the branch pipe 5 in advance.

[0097] When the feed enters the first and second suction areas and the float adjustment area of ​​the device, as the feed liquid level rises, the float 24 placed in the float adjustment area is continuously lifted by the buoyancy, driving the sealing rubber pad in the rubber pad box to rise and contact and completely seal the discharge port of the downward longitudinal tube 34, so that the liquid level in the first and second suction areas and the float adjustment area remains in a stable position. When the bees suck the feed, the liquid level drops, the float 24 also drops and changes accordingly, the sealing rubber pad separates from the discharge port, and the feed automatically flows into the device again. As long as the bees suck the feed, the discharge port will continuously flow out of the feed.

[0098] Example 2:

[0099] Reference Figure 7 、8 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that when the apiary is set up in a place that is convenient for electrical connection to an external power supply, a metal sheet 28 is fixed to the float 24, and two wires 32 are fixed above the upper cover 29. One end of the wire 32 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and a metal probe 31 is fixed to the end of the wire 32. The metal probe 31 extends out of the upper cover 29 and is fixed to the cover. An electromagnetic valve 39 is installed on the horizontal pipe 33, and the electromagnetic valve 39 is electrically connected to the wire 32.

[0100] When the feed enters the first and second suction areas and the float adjustment area of ​​the device, as the feed liquid level rises, the float 24 placed in the float adjustment area is continuously lifted by the buoyancy, so that the metal sheet 28 above the float 24 touches the metal probe 31 of the upper cover 29 and is energized. After energization, the solenoid valve 39 set at the transverse pipe 33 is closed, blocking the flow of feed into the suction box 7. When the bees suck the feed, the liquid level drops, and the float 24 also drops and changes accordingly. The metal sheet 28 above the float 24 separates from the metal probe 31 of the upper cover 29 and the power is cut off. The feed will automatically flow into the device again, so that the liquid level in the first and second suction areas and the float adjustment area remains stable for the bees to suck the feed.
