Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bee breeding, and specifically provides an automatic screening device and method for newly born queen bees. Background Art
[0002] Newly born queen bees usually refer to the newly born queen bees in a bee colony. The quality of the queen bee is mainly manifested in its egg-laying ability. The egg-laying ability of the queen bee is the primary condition for maintaining a strong bee colony, and a strong colony is the basis for the healthy breeding and high yield of bees. Cultivating a queen bee with strong egg-laying ability is the main goal of artificial queen rearing. The method of artificially screening newly born queen bees is usually used in the beekeeping industry to improve the reproductive efficiency and health level of the bee colony. The main methods include:
[0003] Step 1: Select larvae: In the cultivation of newly born queen bees, beekeepers select suitable larvae in the honeycomb, usually larvae within 3 days after hatching. When selecting, it is ensured that they are uniform and healthy, and before feeding, try to ensure that the larvae are in a similar development stage;
[0004] Step 2: Make a queen bee cultivation box: Manually make a queen bee cultivation box. Usually, a special queen bee rearing frame is used to place the selected larvae and rear queens in an environment with suitable temperature and humidity;
[0005] Step 3: Feed with royal jelly: Feed the selected larvae with royal jelly. Beekeepers will accurately calculate the amount of royal jelly obtained by each larva to ensure that the most potential larvae can obtain sufficient nutrition to develop into queen bees;
[0006] Step 4: Competition: In the larval eclosion stage, different newly born queen bees emerge from the cells at the same time and they will fight until one survives to become the new queen bee.
[0007] There are still some problems in the above artificial screening of newly born queen bees:
[0008] 1. Due to the characteristics of the growth environment of newly born queen bees, artificial screening of newly born queen bees is likely to cause environmental deficiencies, unable to effectively control the temperature, humidity, and light of their growth environment and accurately calculate the amount of royal jelly fed, affecting the cultivation effect of newly born queen bees;
[0009] 2. Artificial screening of newly born queen bees requires regular monitoring of the competition of newly born queen bees, which is time-consuming and laborious, and cannot establish effective records based on the competition results, making it inconvenient to improve subsequent screening and breeding strategies.

[0020] A method for using an automatic screening device for newly born queen bees includes the following steps:
[0021] Step 1: Select excellent bee larvae, rotate and open the transparent cover, manually place the selected multiple bee larvae on the queen bee breeding platform, and close the transparent cover;
[0022] Step 2: Control and start two first linear electric rails to drive multiple queen bee breeding platforms to move horizontally in the screening outer frame, move the multiple queen bee breeding platforms below the multiple milk injection longitudinal pipes, so that the milk injection longitudinal pipes and the queen bee breeding platforms correspond one by one. Subsequently, control and start the milk injection system and open the corresponding multiple valves. The royal jelly is introduced into the multiple milk injection longitudinal pipes through the communication pipes and the main milk injection pipe, and is discharged into the corresponding queen bee breeding platforms through the multiple milk injection longitudinal pipes to input nutrition to the multiple bee larvae;
[0023] While the royal jelly is being injected, the weight at the position of each queen bee breeding platform can be detected by the weight sensor, and the consumption of royal jelly in each queen bee breeding platform can be continuously and automatically detected to form data on the food intake of each bee larva. According to the food intake data, the growth of each bee larva can be detected, and the queen bee breeding platform that needs to be supplemented with royal jelly can be automatically supplemented with royal jelly. Just by controlling and opening the valve at the position of the corresponding queen bee breeding platform, the queen bee breeding platform can be automatically supplemented with royal jelly to continuously provide nutritional input for the bee larvae;
[0024] While the bee larvae are growing, the temperature and humidity in the screening outer frame are detected and screened using a temperature and humidity detection head. When the temperature in the screening outer frame is relatively high, the ventilation fans on both sides are controlled to turn on for ventilation and heat dissipation treatment of the screening outer frame. When the temperature in the screening outer frame is not sufficient for the growth temperature of the bee larvae, the second linear electric rail is controlled to drive the longitudinal fan to move horizontally, and the longitudinal fan is moved below the heating component. Subsequently, the heating component is controlled to turn on, and the air flow is heated and then introduced into the screening outer frame for temperature increase to automatically control the temperature in the screening outer frame for the effective growth of the newly hatched queen bee eggs. When the humidity in the screening outer frame is not sufficient for the growth humidity of the bee larvae, the second linear electric rail is controlled to drive the longitudinal fan to move horizontally, and the longitudinal fan is moved below the moisture conduction tube. Subsequently, the atomizing device is controlled to turn on, the liquid is atomized and then introduced into the corresponding moisture conduction tube through the connecting main pipe, and is evenly discharged through multiple discharge holes on the moisture conduction tube. The air flow passes through the atomized liquid and then is introduced into the screening outer frame for humidity increase to automatically control the humidity in the screening outer frame for the effective growth of the newly hatched queen bee eggs;
[0025] While the bee larvae are growing, when the light in the screening outer frame is relatively strong and needs to be blocked, the third linear electric rail is controlled to drive the auxiliary cross plate to move horizontally, and the auxiliary cross plate is moved above the multiple queen bee breeding platforms to block the light and prevent the strong light from affecting the growth of the bee larvae. When the light in the screening outer frame is relatively weak and needs to be supplemented, the third linear electric rail is controlled to drive the auxiliary cross plate to move horizontally, and the auxiliary cross plate is moved above the multiple queen bee breeding platforms. Subsequently, multiple lamp modules are controlled to turn on to supplement light for the bee larvae to prevent the weak light from affecting the growth of the bee larvae;
[0026] Step 3: When the bee larvae need to break out of their shells after developing in the queen bee breeding platforms for a period of time, the multiple queen bee breeding platforms can be controlled to move horizontally again, and the multiple queen bee breeding platforms are moved below the multiple bee marking vertical cylinders. At this time, the bottom end of the isolation top frame and the top end of the isolation bottom frame are in contact to isolate the space in the screening outer frame. The bee larvae continue to grow until they break out of their shells. At the same time as breaking out of their shells, the corresponding telescopic cylinder at this position is immediately controlled to turn on, driving the corresponding drive frame, piston rod, and piston disc to descend, and the colored marking solvent in the bee marking vertical cylinder is evenly sprayed on the bee skin through the spray disc for color marking of the bees until different colors of marks are made on multiple bees, facilitating the competition of multiple bees in the isolated screening outer frame and automatically screening out the newly hatched queen bee;
[0027] When the bee larvae are growing, developing, and competing, the fourth linear electric rail can be controlled to drive the camera module to move horizontally, and the growth, development, and competition conditions of each bee larva can be recorded by camera to obtain the growth, development, and competition data of the bee larvae, facilitating subsequent beekeepers to record the origin and performance of each queen bee and helping to improve subsequent screening and breeding strategies;
[0028] Step 4: After the newly born queen bee is automatically selected, control the driving motor to drive the rotating vertical shaft and the sealing disc to rotate, the connecting frame is opened, and the newly born queen bee enters the bee breeding box through the connecting frame for subsequent mating and egg laying.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0030] 1. By setting an egg-laying mechanism to place multiple bee larvae, controlling the horizontal position movement of multiple brood queen cells and bee larvae, and cooperating with a milk-injecting mechanism to continuously input nutrition to multiple bee larvae, so as to automatically grow and develop multiple bee larvae, and cooperating with a bee-marking mechanism to mark the hatched bees with different colors, so as to directly observe the competition situation of multiple bees subsequently and automatically select the newly born queen bee.
[0031] 2. By setting a control member and a ventilation fan, and cooperating with an auxiliary mechanism, flexibly and automatically control the growth temperature, humidity and light intensity of bee larvae in the screening outer frame, which is convenient for the effective growth and development of bee larvae.
[0032] 3. By setting an egg-laying mechanism, a weight sensor detects the weight at the position of each brood queen cell, so as to continuously and automatically detect the consumption of royal jelly in each brood queen cell subsequently, form data on the food intake of each bee larva, and facilitate detecting the growth situation of each bee larva according to the food intake data.
[0033] 4. By setting an auxiliary mechanism, using multiple camera modules to record the growth and development and competition situation of each bee larva through photography, obtain data on the growth and development and competition of bee larvae, which is convenient for beekeepers to record the origin and performance of each queen bee subsequently, and helps to improve subsequent screening and breeding strategies.

At this time, the bottom end of the isolation top frame 71 contacts the top end of the isolation bottom frame 55 to isolate the space in the screening outer frame 2. The bee larvae continue to grow until they break out of the shell. At the same time as breaking out of the shell, immediately control the telescopic cylinder 76 corresponding to this position to be opened, drive the corresponding driving frame 761, piston rod 741 and piston disc 74 to descend, and spray the colored marking solvent in the marking bee vertical cylinder 73 evenly on the bee skin through the spray disc 75 for color marking of the bees, so as to facilitate the subsequent direct observation of the competition situation of the bees. In this way, multiple bees can be marked with different colors, facilitating the competition of multiple bees in the isolated screening outer frame 2, and automatically screening out the newly born queen bee.
[0057] The auxiliary mechanism 8 includes two groups of auxiliary longitudinal frames 81 symmetrically distributed. The two groups of auxiliary longitudinal frames 81 are fixedly installed at the top of the screening outer frame 2. At the top of the two groups of auxiliary longitudinal frames 81, third linear electric rails 82 are fixedly installed. The driving end of the third linear electric rail 82 is fixedly installed with an auxiliary cross plate 83. At the bottom end of the auxiliary cross plate 83, a plurality of evenly distributed lamp modules 831 are fixedly installed. When the light in the screening outer frame 2 is relatively strong and needs to be blocked, control the third linear electric rail 82 to drive the auxiliary cross plate 83 to move horizontally, and move the auxiliary cross plate 83 above the plurality of queen bee breeding platforms 541 to block the light and prevent the strong light from affecting the growth of bee larvae. When the light in the screening outer frame 2 is relatively weak and needs to be supplemented, control the third linear electric rail 82 to drive the auxiliary cross plate 83 to move horizontally, and move the auxiliary cross plate 83 above the plurality of queen bee breeding platforms 541. Then control the activation of the plurality of lamp modules 831 to supplement light to the bee larvae to prevent the weak light from affecting the growth of bee larvae. In the middle of the two groups of auxiliary longitudinal frames 81, fourth linear electric rails 84 are fixedly installed. The driving end of the fourth linear electric rail 84 is fixedly installed with an auxiliary bracket 85. At the end of the auxiliary bracket 85, a camera module 86 corresponding to the queen bee breeding platform 541 is fixedly installed.

[0058] The bee control mechanism 4 includes a connecting frame 41. The connecting frame 41 is fixedly clamped on one side of the screening outer frame 2 close to the bee breeding box 3. One end of the connecting frame 41 away from the screening outer frame 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the bee breeding box 3. A sealing disc 42 is movably clamped on the side of the connecting frame 41 close to the screening outer frame 2. A rotating longitudinal shaft 421 is fixedly installed in the middle of the sealing disc 42. The rotating longitudinal shaft 421 is rotatably installed on the connecting frame 41. On one side of the top end of the connecting frame 41 close to the rotating longitudinal shaft 421, a driving motor 43 is fixedly installed. The driving end of the driving motor 43 is fixedly installed with the top end of the rotating longitudinal shaft 421. In the initial state, the sealing disc 42 closes the connecting frame 41, and the newly born queen bee cannot enter the bee breeding box 3 through the connecting frame 41 for subsequent mating and egg laying. When the newly born queen bee is automatically screened out, control the driving motor 43 to drive the rotating longitudinal shaft 421 and the sealing disc 42 to rotate, the connecting frame 41 is opened, and the newly born queen bee enters the bee breeding box 3 through the connecting frame 41 for subsequent mating and egg laying.
[0059] A method for using an automatic screening device for newly born queen bees includes the following steps:
[0060] Step 1: Select excellent bee larvae. Rotate and open the transparent cover 21, manually place multiple selected bee larvae on the breeding queen cell 541, and close the transparent cover 21;
[0061] Step 2: Control the activation of two first linear electric rails 51 to drive multiple breeding queen cells 541 to move horizontally in the screening outer frame 2, move multiple breeding queen cells 541 below multiple milk injection vertical tubes 62, so that the milk injection vertical tubes 62 and the breeding queen cells 541 are in one-to-one correspondence. Subsequently, control the activation of the milk injection system 66 and open the corresponding multiple valves 63. Royal jelly is introduced into multiple milk injection vertical tubes 62 through the connecting pipe 65 and the main milk injection pipe 64, and is discharged into the corresponding breeding queen cells 541 through multiple milk injection vertical tubes 62 to provide nutritional input for multiple bee larvae;
[0062] While injecting royal jelly, the weight at the position of each breeding queen cell 541 can be detected by the weight sensor 53, and the consumption of royal jelly in each breeding queen cell 541 can be continuously and automatically detected to form data on the food intake of each bee larva. The growth situation of each bee larva can be detected according to the food intake data, and the breeding queen cells 541 that need to be supplemented with royal jelly can be automatically supplemented with royal jelly. Just by controlling the opening of the valve 63 at the position of the corresponding breeding queen cell 541, the breeding queen cell 541 can be automatically supplemented with royal jelly to continuously provide nutritional input for the bee larvae;
[0063] While the bee larvae are growing, the temperature and humidity in the screening outer frame 2 are detected by using the temperature and humidity detection head 25. When the temperature in the screening outer frame 2 is relatively high, control the activation of the ventilation fans 24 on both sides to conduct ventilation and heat dissipation treatment on the screening outer frame 2. When the temperature in the screening outer frame 2 is not enough for the growth temperature of the bee larvae, control the activation of the second linear electric rail 562 to drive the longitudinal fan 563 to move horizontally, move the longitudinal fan 563 below the heating component 564, and then control the activation of the heating component 564. The air flow is heated and then introduced into the screening outer frame 2 for temperature increase to automatically control the temperature in the screening outer frame 2 for the effective growth of the newly born queen bee eggs. When the humidity in the screening outer frame 2 is not enough for the growth humidity of the bee larvae, control the activation of the second linear electric rail 562 to drive the longitudinal fan 563 to move horizontally, move the longitudinal fan 563 below the moisture conduction pipe 565, and then control the activation of the atomization device 566. The liquid is atomized and then introduced into the corresponding moisture conduction pipe 565 through the main connection pipe 5661, and is evenly discharged through multiple discharge holes on the moisture conduction pipe 565. The air flow passes through the atomized liquid and then is introduced into the screening outer frame 2 for humidity increase to automatically control the humidity in the screening outer frame 2 for the effective growth of the newly born queen bee eggs;
[0064] While the bee larvae are growing, when it is necessary to shield the heavier light in the screening outer frame 2, the third linear electric rail 82 is controlled to drive the auxiliary cross plate 83 to move horizontally, and the auxiliary cross plate 83 is moved above the multiple queen - rearing cells 541 to shield the light, preventing the heavy light from affecting the growth of the bee larvae. When it is necessary to supplement the light in the screening outer frame 2 where the light is relatively weak, the third linear electric rail 82 is controlled to drive the auxiliary cross plate 83 to move horizontally, and the auxiliary cross plate 83 is moved above the multiple queen - rearing cells 541. Subsequently, multiple lamp modules 831 are controlled to be turned on to supplement the light for the bee larvae, preventing the weak light from affecting the growth of the bee larvae;
[0065] Step 3: When the bee larvae need to break out of their shells after developing in the queen - rearing cells 541 for a period of time, the multiple queen - rearing cells 541 can be controlled to move horizontally again, and the multiple queen - rearing cells 541 are moved below the multiple standard - bee vertical cylinders 73. At this time, the bottom end of the isolation top frame 71 contacts the top end of the isolation bottom frame 55 to isolate the space in the screening outer frame 2. The bee larvae continue to grow until they break out of their shells. At the same time as breaking out of the shells, the corresponding telescopic cylinder 76 at this position is immediately controlled to be turned on, driving the corresponding drive frame 761, piston rod 741, and piston disc 74 to descend, and the colored marking solvent in the standard - bee vertical cylinder 73 is evenly sprayed on the bee skin through the spray disc 75 for color - marking the bees until different colors are marked on multiple bees, facilitating the competition among multiple bees in the isolated screening outer frame 2 to automatically screen out the newly - born queen bee;
[0066] When the bee larvae are growing, developing, and competing, the fourth linear electric rail 84 can be controlled to drive the camera module 86 to move horizontally, and the growth, development, and competition of each bee larva can be recorded by video, obtaining the growth, development, and competition data of the bee larvae, which is convenient for beekeepers to record the origin and performance of each queen bee later and helps to improve subsequent screening and breeding strategies;
[0067] Step 4: After the newly - born queen bee is automatically screened out, the drive motor 43 is controlled to drive the rotating vertical shaft 421 and the sealing disc 42 to rotate, the connecting frame 41 is opened, and the newly - born queen bee enters the beehive 3 through the connecting frame 41 for subsequent mating and egg - laying.
