Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of beehive equipment, and in particular to a beehive microenvironment control device and a beehive. Background Art

[0002] Bumblebees are important pollinating insects with the advantages of large size, strong collecting ability, visiting many types of flowers, and not prone to colliding with honey bees. However, compared with honey bees, their sociality is not as rigorous and regular. There is a complex social division of labor within the honey bee colony, and they have the biological habit of actively regulating the temperature and humidity within the colony. When the outside temperature is too high, bees can collect water to evaporate and dissipate heat or cluster to heat to ensure the stability of the colony's microenvironment. Bumblebees are not as social as honey bees, and there is no clustering behavior within the colony. When the temperature of the colony is too high, some individuals often leave the nest and burrow into the soil or fly to the vents to cool down. The colony has no effective way to dissipate heat. Therefore, it is crucial to regulate the microenvironment of the bumblebee hive.

[0003] However, in existing greenhouses, mechanical hygrometers and mercury thermometers are used to monitor the temperature and humidity of the greenhouse environment. For pollinating bumblebees, there is currently no device to separately adjust the temperature and humidity of the microenvironment within the facility pollinating bumblebee colony, and frequent opening of the box will reduce the pollination effect of the bumblebees. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, an object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a beehive microenvironment control device and a beehive to at least partially improve the above-mentioned problem.

[0019] When the bee colony vibration frequency is not within a preset range, the temperature difference exceeds a second threshold, and the offset angle is greater than a third threshold, it is determined that the bee colony is stimulated by the external environment, and a warning is sent to the cloud server;

[0020] When the bee colony vibration frequency / or the CO2 concentration data is not detected to exceed the fourth threshold within the second preset time period and the temperature and humidity data are not monitored to fluctuate normally, the bee colony is determined to have collapsed and a warning is sent to the cloud server.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0051] As described in the background technology, in existing greenhouse facilities, mechanical hygrometers and mercury thermometers are used to monitor the temperature and humidity of the greenhouse environment. For pollinating bumblebees, there is currently no device to separately adjust the temperature and humidity of the microenvironment within the facility pollinating bumblebee colony, and frequent opening of the box will reduce the bumblebee pollination effect.

[0052] Based on the above situation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a beehive microenvironment control device and a beehive, in which a monitoring module installed in the beehive detects environmental data, a control module analyzes and processes the environmental data, adjusts the environmental control module, and then controls the microenvironment in the beehive.

[0053] The following is an exemplary description of the beehive microenvironment control device provided by the present invention. Figure 1 The beehive microenvironment control device 100 includes a data monitoring module 120, a control module 110 and an environment control module 130, and the control module 110 is connected to the data monitoring module 120 and the environment control module 130 respectively. The data monitoring module 120 is used to monitor and collect environmental data in the target beehive, and transmit it to the control module 110; the control module 110 is used to receive the environmental data, and generate an adjustment instruction according to the environmental data and the preset environmental control strategy, and send the adjustment instruction to the environment control module 130; the environment control module 130 is used to receive the adjustment instruction, and adjust the microenvironment of the target beehive according to the adjustment instruction.

[0054] The beehive microenvironment control device 100 is composed of three parts: a data monitoring module 120, a control module 110 and an environment control module 130, which are connected to form a complete system to monitor and control the microenvironment in the beehive.

[0055] The main task of the data monitoring module is to monitor and collect various environmental data inside the beehive in real time, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, etc. After the data collection is completed, the monitoring module will transmit the data to the control module 110.

[0056] The control module 110 receives data from the data monitoring module 120, and decides how to adjust the environment inside the beehive based on the data and the pre-set environmental control strategy. According to the specific environmental data and the control strategy, the control module 110 will generate corresponding adjustment instructions. For example, if the temperature inside the beehive is monitored to be too high, the control module 110 may generate an instruction to lower the temperature. The control module 110 is responsible for sending the generated adjustment instructions to the environmental control module 130.

[0057] After receiving the adjustment instruction from the control module 110, the environment control module 130 performs specific adjustment operations to achieve the desired environmental conditions. This may include turning on or off devices such as heaters and fans. In this way, the environment control module 130 can effectively adjust and maintain the microenvironment in the beehive to ensure that the bee colony lives in a suitable environment.

[0058] In one possible implementation, in order to monitor more abundant environmental data in the target beehive and more accurately regulate the microenvironment in the target beehive, see Figure 2 The data monitoring module 120 may include a temperature and humidity sensor 121, a CO2 concentration sensor 122, and an acceleration sensor 123. The temperature and humidity sensor 121 is used to collect temperature and humidity data in the target beehive at a preset frequency; the CO2 concentration sensor 122 is used to collect CO2 concentration data in the target beehive at a preset frequency; the acceleration sensor 123 is used to collect acceleration data of bee colony vibration and the offset angle of the target beehive at a preset frequency.

[0059] The temperature and humidity sensor 121 regularly collects the temperature and humidity data inside the target beehive 20 at a preset frequency (for example, every 3 minutes), and the CO2 concentration sensor 122 also collects the carbon dioxide concentration data inside the target beehive 20 at the preset frequency. The acceleration sensor 123 collects the acceleration data of the vibration of the bee colony at the same preset frequency. These vibration data can reflect the behavior pattern and activity intensity of the bee colony. The acceleration sensor 123 also detects the tilt or movement of the beehive, that is, the offset angle of the beehive, to ensure that the beehive remains stable. By integrating the temperature and humidity sensor 121, the CO2 concentration sensor 122 and the acceleration sensor 123 into the data monitoring module 120, the beehive microenvironment control device 100 can comprehensively and real-time monitor the key environmental parameters in the beehive. These data not only help to automatically adjust the microenvironment in the target beehive, but also provide valuable reference information for beekeepers, helping them to better manage and maintain the health of the bee colony and improve honey production and quality.

[0060] In order to be able to keep track of the status of bumblebees in the hive in a timely manner, in a possible implementation, see Figure 3The control module 110 is also used to monitor the status of the bumblebees in the beehive using the following steps:

[0061] S210: Acquire temperature and humidity data, CO2 concentration data, acceleration data, and deviation angle simultaneously.

[0062] At the same time, the temperature and humidity data, CO2 concentration data, acceleration data and deviation angle in the target beehive are obtained through the temperature and humidity sensor, CO2 concentration sensor and acceleration sensor.

[0063] S220: The acceleration data is converted into the bee colony vibration frequency through Fourier transform, and the temperature and humidity data are fitted into a time series using the LSTM machine learning model and compared with the temperature and humidity thresholds to obtain the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0064] The collected acceleration data can be filtered and denoised to remove possible interference signals and ensure the accuracy of the data. The processed acceleration data is input into a Fourier transform algorithm (such as fast Fourier transform FFT) to convert it from the time domain to the frequency domain.

[0065] By using the long short-term memory network (LSTM) to fit the temperature and humidity data in time series, we can predict the temperature and humidity change trend in the future. Based on the historical temperature and humidity data, the LSTM model can be trained to make accurate predictions for future time points. The temperature and humidity values ​​predicted by the LSTM model are compared with the preset thresholds to calculate the temperature and humidity difference between the current environmental parameters and the ideal values.

[0066] S230: When the CO2 concentration data exceeds the first threshold and the temperature difference exceeds the second threshold, the bee colony is determined to be crowded and a warning is sent to the cloud server.

[0067] For a beehive, a high CO2 concentration indicates that there are too many bumblebees in the beehive. Respiration causes CO2 to accumulate and generates a lot of heat, which may be caused by insufficient space. Therefore, when the CO2 concentration data exceeds the first threshold and the temperature difference exceeds the second threshold, it can be determined that there are too many bumblebees in the beehive, the swarm is large and too crowded, and a warning is sent to the cloud server to notify the beekeeper and other relevant personnel to handle it.

[0068] S240: When the temperature difference exceeds the second threshold for a period longer than the first preset period, the bee colony is determined to be overheated, and a warning is sent to the cloud server.

[0069] When the temperature difference exceeds the second threshold and lasts for a long time, it can be determined that the bee colony is in an overheated state;

[0070] S250: When the bee colony vibration frequency is not within a preset range, the temperature difference exceeds the second threshold and the offset angle is greater than the third threshold, it is determined that the bee colony is stimulated by the external environment and a warning is sent to the cloud server.

[0071] Abnormal vibration frequency may also indicate that the bee colony is in a state of high alert or defense, such as responding to external threats. Significant deviation angles indicate that the beehive may be subject to external physical interference, such as wind, animal attacks, etc., causing the beehive to move or tilt. When these two conditions are met at the same time, it means that the bee colony has been subjected to drastic changes or potential threats in the external environment, triggering defensive behavior, sending warnings to the cloud server, and notifying beekeepers and other relevant personnel to handle the situation.

[0072] S260: When the bee colony vibration frequency / or CO2 concentration data is not detected exceeding the fourth threshold within the second preset time period and the temperature and humidity data are not monitored to fluctuate normally, the bee colony is determined to have collapsed and a warning is sent to the cloud server.

[0073] The vibration frequency of a bee colony reflects the daily activities and behavior patterns of bees. Under normal circumstances, a bee colony will continue to produce a certain vibration frequency, indicating its normal activities and survival status. When no bee colony vibration frequency is detected within a preset time, it can be determined that the bee colony has collapsed. This indicates that the bee colony may have lost most of its worker bees, with only a very small number of individuals or no one left alive.

[0074] The activities of the bee colony will have an impact on the CO2 concentration data and the temperature and humidity data. If the CO2 concentration data exceeds the fourth threshold and the normal fluctuations of the temperature and humidity data are not monitored, it means that the bee colony is not active normally, and it can also be determined that the bee colony has collapsed.

[0075] In order to be able to fully monitor the temperature and humidity in the target beehive, see Figure 4 The number of the temperature and humidity sensors 121 can be eight, wherein four temperature and humidity sensors 121 are respectively arranged on the side walls near the four top corners of the target beehive 20, two temperature and humidity sensors 121 are respectively arranged at the center of the front and rear walls of the target beehive 20, and two temperature and humidity sensors 121 are arranged on a side wall of the honeycomb 21 close to the target beehive 20 and close to the bottom of the target beehive 20.

[0076] The number of temperature and humidity sensors 121 is set to eight, and they are distributed in different positions of the target beehive 20, which can significantly improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of environmental monitoring. A temperature and humidity sensor 121 is placed on each side wall near the four top corners of the target beehive 20. These sensors can monitor the temperature and humidity conditions of the four corners of the top of the beehive, ensuring that the environmental data of the entire upper space is fully collected. A temperature and humidity sensor 121 is placed at the center of the front and rear box walls of the target beehive 20. These two sensors are responsible for monitoring the temperature and humidity in the middle of the beehive, which is usually the place where bees are most active, so the data is very important for understanding the environment of the core area of ​​the bee colony. Two temperature and humidity sensors 121 are placed near a side wall of the honeycomb 21 and near the bottom of the box. The bottom is an area where the temperature and humidity changes in the beehive are more sensitive, especially in the case of heating equipment or poor ventilation, it is easy to form a high humidity or low temperature area, and the temperature and humidity sensor 121 near the honeycomb 21 can directly monitor the environment around the honeycomb 21.

[0077] In order to accurately monitor the CO2 concentration data of the bee colony and reasonably avoid the air flow near the nest door of the honeycomb 21 in the target beehive 20, see Figure 4 The CO2 concentration sensor 122 is disposed on a support column 22 fixed to the bottom of the target beehive 20 and is located above the honeycomb 21 of the target beehive 20 .

[0078] The beehive 21 is where the bumblebees are most active and have the strongest breathing, producing a large amount of CO2. The support column 22 fixed to the bottom of the box provides a stable installation position that is not easily disturbed by the outside world. Placing the sensor directly above the beehive 21 (for example, 2 cm above the beehive 21) can directly monitor the CO2 produced by the bees' breathing, ensuring that the data reflects the true situation in the core area of ​​the bee colony. Moreover, the nest door is the main passage for bumblebees to enter and exit the beehive 21, and it is also an important area for air circulation. The air flow near the nest door may cause instantaneous changes in local temperature, humidity and CO2 concentration. These changes may not reflect the real environment inside the beehive, but are short-term fluctuations caused by airflow. Avoiding this area can avoid these interferences and ensure that the data collected by the CO2 concentration sensor 122 is more stable and accurate.

[0079] In order to capture the vibration acceleration signal generated by the wing flapping of bumblebees in the bee colony and obtain the offset angle of the target beehive on the X, Y, and Z axes, see Figure 4 The acceleration sensor 123 may be disposed at a bottom corner of the target beehive 20 .

[0080] The bottom corner position provides a stable installation platform, reduces the displacement of the acceleration sensor 123 caused by the movement of the target beehive 20 or external factors, and ensures the accuracy of long-term monitoring. Compared with the top or side wall, the bottom corner position is less affected by external air flow, direct sunlight and other factors, and can more accurately capture the tiny vibration signals generated by the bumblebee's wing flapping.

[0081] In order to facilitate the regulation of the microenvironment in the target beehive 20, in a possible implementation, continue to refer to Figure 4 The environment control module 130 may include a fan 131 and a heating fin 132. The heating fin 132 is connected to the upper cover of the target beehive 20 and is provided with a plurality of strong magnets. The plurality of strong magnets and the plurality of strong magnets on the upper cover of the target beehive 20 fix the environment control module 130 to the upper cover of the target beehive 20. The fan 131 is used to control its own rotation speed according to the adjustment instruction and adjust the air flow speed in the target beehive 20. The heating fin 132 is used to control its own power according to the adjustment instruction and adjust the temperature in the target beehive 20.

[0082] The fan 131 is used to control its own speed according to the adjustment instruction, so as to adjust the air flow speed in the beehive. By adjusting the speed of the fan 131, the air circulation in the beehive can be effectively improved, the CO2 concentration can be reduced, and the supply of fresh air can be ensured. In a high temperature environment, the fan 131 can accelerate the air flow to take away the heat and help reduce the temperature in the beehive. The heating fins 132 are used to control their own power according to the adjustment instruction to adjust the temperature in the beehive. In cold seasons or low temperature environments, the heating fins 132 can increase the temperature in the beehive by increasing the power to ensure that the bumblebees are active within a suitable temperature range. By adjusting the power of the heating fins 132 and coordinating the fan start-up (low speed), the temperature can be raised gently and evenly, and the temperature in the beehive can be accurately controlled to avoid overcooling.

[0083] A plurality of strong magnets are arranged on one side of the heating fin 132 connected to the upper cover of the target beehive 20. These strong magnets cooperate with the multiple strong magnets on the upper cover of the target beehive 20 to firmly fix the environment control module 130 on the upper cover of the beehive. The strong magnets can be used to quickly and conveniently install and remove the environment control module 130 without complicated tools or screws. Moreover, the adsorption force provided by the strong magnets is strong enough to ensure that the environment control module 130 can work stably under various weather conditions and will not fall off due to wind or other external forces.

[0084] Alternatively, see Figure 5 The heating fin 132 includes a plurality of metal plates 1321 arranged in parallel and a hollow portion 1322 .

[0085] The plurality of metal plates arranged in parallel significantly increases the surface area in contact with the air. A larger surface area means that more heat can be transferred to the surrounding environment through radiation and convection, thereby accelerating the heating speed and improving the heating efficiency. The metal plates arranged in parallel can achieve uniform heating, ensuring that the heat is more evenly distributed in the target beehive 20, and providing more stable and comfortable environmental conditions. The hollow portions 1322 formed between the metal plates 1321 can better ventilate the target beehive 20 and facilitate the adjustment of the microenvironment in the target beehive 20.

[0086] In one possible implementation, see Figure 6 The control module 110 is used to receive environmental data through the following steps, and generate adjustment instructions according to the environmental data and the preset environmental control strategy:

[0087] S310: Determine whether the temperature of the target beehive is higher than a first preset temperature.

[0088] For the regulation of the target beehive environment, it is first determined whether the temperature of the target beehive is higher than a first preset temperature.

[0089] S320: If yes, start the fan and gradually increase the fan speed to a first preset speed, and maintain the fan speed for a third preset time and then turn off the fan; if the temperature of the target beehive is within a preset normal temperature range within the third preset time, turn off the fan immediately; if the temperature of the target beehive is still higher than the first preset temperature after the third preset time, start the fan again until the temperature of the target beehive is within the preset normal temperature range.

[0090] If the temperature of the target beehive is too high and the bee colony is overheated, the fan is started for regulation, for example: the fan starts at 0bpm, reaches 3000bpm and maintains for 10s before stopping. During the fan operation, the temperature drop is monitored in real time. If the temperature of the target beehive is already in the preset normal temperature range, the fan is immediately turned off without maintaining for 10s. If it is still higher than the first preset temperature, the fan is started again. If the temperature drops to the preset normal temperature range, the fan is stopped.

[0091] S330: If not, determine whether the temperature of the target beehive is lower than a second preset temperature.

[0092] If the temperature of the target beehive is not overheated, it is necessary to determine whether the temperature of the target beehive is too cold.

[0093] S340: If yes, start the heating fins, heat the heating fins to a third preset temperature, and start the fan to maintain a constant second preset speed until the temperature of the target beehive is in a preset normal temperature range, turn off the fan, and adjust the temperature of the heating fins to the middle value of the preset normal temperature range for a fourth preset time period before turning off.

[0094] If the temperature of the target beehive is too cold, the heating fins need to be started to heat the target beehive. For example, the preset normal temperature range is 15-20°C, the heating fins are heated to 10°C higher than the highest value of the normal temperature range (i.e. 20+10=30°C), and the fan is started at a constant speed of 600bpm until the temperature of the target beehive is in the preset normal temperature range, and the fan is turned off. At this time, the temperature of the heating fins is adjusted to the middle value of the normal temperature range (i.e. 17.5°C) and is turned off for 15 minutes.

[0095] S350: If not, determine whether the CO2 concentration data is greater than a preset CO2 concentration.
