[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] In the present invention, when feeding the bumblebees in the breeding box, the cover plate frame initially corresponds to the bottom of the limiting cylinder on the adjusting disc, the cover plate frame covers the bottom of the limiting cylinder, the operator places the cotton ball in the limiting cylinder, and then pours the sugar water required for the bumblebees to eat into the cotton ball, so that the cotton ball can fully absorb the sugar water. After the cotton ball absorbs the sugar water, the loading disc is driven to rotate by rotating the handle. Because the loading barrel is in the limiting cylinder, the adjusting disc at the bottom can be driven to rotate when the loading disc rotates. When it reaches the top of the feeding pipe set on the top of the breeding box, the bottom of the cover plate frame will move to the inclined end of the convex disc, and then the cover plate frame is separated from the bottom of the limiting cylinder under the drive of the torsion spring. After the cover plate frame is separated from the bottom of the limiting cylinder, the cotton ball will fall downward into the feeding pipe and fall into the feeding area in the breeding box, so that the bumblebees can absorb the sugar water in the cotton ball for feeding.

[0013] In the present invention, after the cotton balls are put into the loading barrel, the operator can rotate the adjusting handle so that the adjusting handle drives the rotating rod to rotate and the adjusting gear rotates. After the adjusting gear rotates, it drives the adjusting column to move. The movement of the adjusting column drives the adjusting disk to move through the provided ring buckle, thereby changing the gap between the adjusting disk and the loading disk. When the gap between the two is adjusted, the gap between the limit barrel and the loading barrel will be adjusted, thereby making it convenient for the operator to regulate the amount of sugar water added according to the food intake of the bumblebees.

[0014] In the present invention, when the cotton balls are in the concave plate, the connecting frames on the connecting rings cover the top surface of the concave plate, so that the bumblebees stay on the surface of the fence during feeding and avoid contact with the cotton balls, resulting in the sugar water on the cotton balls coming into contact with the bumblebees so that the wings of the bumblebees adhere to the cotton balls and affect the bumblebees, so that the bumblebees can eat from the gaps in the fence. When the operator replaces the cotton balls and rotates the loading disc so that the loading barrel is located above the feeding pipe, as the rotating column rotates, the worm arranged at the bottom of the rotating column will drive the worm wheel to rotate, and the rotation of the worm wheel drives the transmission rod to rotate, and the transmission disc arranged on the transmission rod drives the driving disc to rotate through the transmission belt, and the rotation of the driving disc drives the driving disc to rotate. The driving rod rotates, and after the driving rod rotates, it synchronously drives the transmission bevel gear to rotate. The transmission bevel gear meshes with the rotating bevel gear to rotate the rotating bevel gear. When the two rotating bevel gears rotate, they will drive the corresponding connecting ring to rotate. When the connecting ring rotates, the connecting rod will flip upward. At the same time, since a connecting frame is provided between the connecting rod and the connecting rod on the adjacent connecting ring, the connecting frame will flip upward, thereby driving the adjacent connecting frames to flip upward and unfold from the surface of the concave plate in turn. The provided fence will disperse the bumblebees located in the feeding area, and then when the cotton balls are replaced, it is prevented from contacting the bumblebees when the cotton balls fall into the concave plate and cause danger to the bumblebees.

[0015] In the present invention, when the cotton balls are replaced, after the next cotton ball falls onto the support plate, the provided connecting frame will close the partition fence toward the center of the concave disk again, thereby pressing the new cotton ball downward, and the new cotton ball will squeeze the cotton ball at the bottom. At this time, the support plate will move downward under the drive of the partition fence squeezing, and the bottom rod at the bottom of the support plate will move downward when the support plate moves downward. The downward movement of the bottom rod makes the resistance block contact with the arc groove on the rotating cylinder, thereby rotating the rotating cylinder, and the lever on the top of the rotating cylinder will rotate in the accommodating cavity. At this time, the cotton ball at the bottom of the support plate is in the accommodating cavity, and the used cotton ball can be discharged through the accommodating cavity, thereby realizing the cotton ball replacement operation. Through this arrangement, when the bumblebee breeding box is breeding its bumblebees, there is no need to frequently open the breeding box to affect the breeding of the bumblebees, thereby avoiding the bumblebees being frightened and causing harm to them.

The operator places the cotton ball in the limiting cylinder 212, and then pours the sugar water needed for the bumblebees to eat into the cotton ball so that the cotton ball can fully absorb the sugar water. After the cotton ball absorbs the sugar water, the loading disc 25 is driven to rotate by rotating the handle 26. Because the loading cylinder 27 is in the limiting cylinder 212, when the loading disc When the cover plate frame 213 rotates, it can drive the adjusting disc 211 at the bottom to rotate. When it reaches the top of the feeding pipe 21 set on the top of the breeding box 1, the bottom of the cover plate frame 213 will move to the inclined end of the convex plate 210, and then the cover plate frame 213 will be separated from the bottom of the limiting cylinder 212 under the drive of the torsion spring. After the cover plate frame 213 is separated from the bottom of the limiting cylinder 212, the cotton ball will fall downward into the feeding pipe 21 and fall into the feeding area 11 in the breeding box 1, so that the bumblebees can absorb the sugar water in the cotton ball for feeding;

[0041] When the cotton ball is in the concave plate 22, the connecting frames 44 on the connecting rings 42 cover the top surface of the concave plate 22, so that the bumblebees stay on the surface of the partition 45 during the feeding process to avoid contact with the cotton ball, resulting in the sugar water on the cotton ball contacting the bumblebees and causing the bumblebees' wings to adhere to the cotton ball, affecting the bumblebees, so that the bumblebees can feed from the gaps in the partition 45. When the operator replaces the cotton ball to rotate the loading disc 25 and the loading barrel 27 is located above the feeding pipe 21, as the rotating column 24 rotates, the worm 33 provided at the bottom of the rotating column 24 will drive the worm wheel 32 to rotate, and the rotation of the worm wheel 32 will drive the transmission rod 31 to rotate, and the transmission disc 34 provided on the transmission rod 31 will drive the drive disc 37 to rotate through the transmission belt 38, and the rotation of the drive disc 37 will drive the drive rod 31 to rotate. 36 rotates, and after the driving rod 36 rotates, the transmission bevel gear 47 is synchronously driven to rotate. The transmission bevel gear 47 meshes with the rotating bevel gear 46 to rotate the rotating bevel gear 46. When the two rotating bevel gears 46 rotate, the corresponding connecting ring 42 is driven to rotate. When the connecting ring 42 rotates, the connecting rod 43 is flipped upward. At the same time, since a connecting frame 44 is provided between the connecting rod 43 and the connecting rod 43 on the adjacent connecting ring 42, the connecting frame 44 is flipped upward, thereby driving the adjacent connecting frames 44 to flip upward from the surface of the concave plate 22 and unfold. The fence 45 is set to disperse the bumblebees located at the feeding area 11, and then when the cotton balls are replaced, it is prevented from contacting the bumblebees when the cotton balls fall into the concave plate 22 and cause danger to the bumblebees.

[0042] When the cotton ball is replaced, after the next cotton ball falls onto the support plate 5, the provided connecting frame 44 will close the partition 45 toward the center of the concave plate 22 again, thereby pressing the new cotton ball downward, and the new cotton ball will squeeze the cotton ball at the bottom. At this time, the support plate 5 will move downward under the pressure of the partition 45. When the support plate 5 moves downward, the bottom rod 51 at the bottom will move downward. The downward movement of the bottom rod 51 makes the resistance block 57 contact the arc groove 56 on the rotating cylinder 55, thereby rotating the rotating cylinder 55, and the lever 58 on the top of the rotating cylinder 55 will rotate in the accommodating chamber 53. At this time, the cotton ball at the bottom of the support plate 5 is in the accommodating chamber 53, and the used cotton ball can be discharged through the accommodating chamber 53, thereby realizing the replacement operation of the cotton ball. Through this arrangement, when the bumblebee breeding box 1 is breeding its bumblebees, it is not necessary to frequently open the breeding box 1 to affect the breeding of the bumblebees, thereby preventing the bumblebees from being frightened and causing harm to them.

[0043] Dry moss is placed in each of the breeding areas 61 . The dry moss makes it easier for bumblebees to build nests in the breeding areas 61 and can effectively maintain the humidity in the breeding areas 61 . Different situations in the bumblebee breeding process can be observed through the observation window 62 .

[0044] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Technical personnel in this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
