A spleen frame

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of beekeeping equipment technology, specifically a honeycomb frame, comprising a frame and honeycombs. The frame consists of an upper beam, a left post on the left, a right post on the right, and a bottom beam forming a hollow structure. The honeycombs are hexagonal cells formed by filling the hollow frame with multiple beeswax cells. A limiting steel plate is embedded in the left post (a longitudinally positioned left limiting steel plate), and a longitudinally positioned right limiting steel plate is embedded in the right post (a right limiting steel plate). When cutting away the beeswax outside the honeycombs, the cutting blade moves downwards along the outer edges of the left and right limiting steel plates, precisely cutting away the beeswax outside the honeycombs. This honeycomb frame offers the advantages of accurate cutting without damaging the frame.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beekeeping equipment technology, and more specifically to honey comb frames. Background Technology

[0002] Honeycomb frames are a crucial tool in beekeeping, comprising both honeycomb and honeycomb frames. For example, patent document CN220422777U, entitled "An Automated Honey Production Device," discloses an automated honey production device that includes honeycomb frames and honeycomb.

[0003] A honeycomb frame is a man-made square frame, while a honeycomb is a wax board filled with hexagonal cells that bees build inside the frame using beeswax. The combination of the frame and the comb forms what we commonly call a "honeycomb frame." The honeycomb is built by bees using beeswax secreted from their abdominal wax glands. It consists of thousands of tightly packed hexagonal cells, primarily serving as a honey storage area. Once the honey is stored properly, the cells are sealed with beeswax. When people collect honey, they remove the honeycomb frame from the hive, cut off the beeswax covering the cells (the cell covers) with a cutting tool, exposing the honey inside. The honeycomb frame containing the honey is then placed in a honey extractor to extract the honey from the cells, collecting the extracted honey.

[0004] When cutting the beeswax outside the honeycomb, a cutting knife is used, which cuts along the outside of the frame.

[0005] In existing technologies, nest frames are generally made of wood, which often damages the frames during cutting and also has the disadvantage of inaccurate cutting. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a honeycomb frame that can be cut accurately without damaging the honeycomb frame.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: a honeycomb frame includes a frame and honeycombs. The frame comprises an upper beam, a left post on the left, a right post on the right, and a bottom beam forming a framework. The interior of the frame is hollow. The honeycombs are hexagonal honeycombs formed by filling the hollow frame with multiple beeswax cells. The key feature is that a limiting steel plate is embedded in the left post; this limiting steel plate is a longitudinally arranged left limiting steel plate. A longitudinally arranged limiting steel plate is also embedded in the right post; this limiting steel plate is a right limiting steel plate. When cutting the beeswax outside the honeycombs, the cutting blade moves from top to bottom along the outer edges of the left and right limiting steel plates, effectively cutting away the beeswax outside the honeycombs.

[0008] Furthermore, the left limiting steel plates are distributed in front of and behind the left column, namely, the front left limiting steel plate and the rear left limiting steel plate; the right limiting steel plates are distributed in front of and behind the right column, namely, the front right limiting steel plate and the rear right limiting steel plate. Furthermore, the outer edge of the limiting steel sheet also has an arc-shaped structure that is higher in the middle and lower at the top and bottom.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the arc is 1-1.5 millimeters.

[0010] Furthermore, the hollow height of the frame is 30-40 centimeters.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are that such honeycomb frames have the advantages of accurate cutting and no damage to the honeycomb frames. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] As shown in the figure, a honeycomb frame includes a frame 1 and honeycomb 2. The frame consists of an upper beam 11, a left post 12, a right post 13, and a bottom beam 14 forming a framework. The interior of the framework is hollow 15. The honeycomb is a hexagonal honeycomb 21 formed by filling the hollow framework with multiple beeswax cells. The feature is that a limiting steel plate 3 is embedded in the left post, which is a longitudinally arranged left limiting steel plate 31, and a longitudinally arranged limiting steel plate 32 is embedded in the right post. When cutting the beeswax outside the honeycomb, the cutting blade moves from top to bottom along the outer edge of the left and right limiting steel plates, which can cut off the beeswax outside the honeycomb.

[0018] In this invention, when cutting the beeswax outside the honeycomb, the cutting blade is straight. The two sides of the straight blade are placed on the outer edges of the left and right limiting steel plates, respectively, and moved from top to bottom. This allows for the cutting of the beeswax outside the honeycomb. In other words, the outer edges of the left and right limiting steel plates are the track for the cutting blade, which does not damage the honeycomb frame and ensures accurate cutting, thus achieving the purpose of this invention.

[0019] Furthermore, the left limiting steel plates are distributed in front of and behind the left column, namely, the front left limiting steel plate 311 and the rear left limiting steel plate 312; the right limiting steel plates are distributed in front of and behind the right column, namely, the front right limiting steel plate 321 and the rear right limiting steel plate 322.

[0020] The above-mentioned configuration of the present invention also allows for cutting on both sides of the nest frame.

[0021] The aforementioned method involves embedding a limiting steel plate 3 on the left column. For example, the left column has a vertically oriented slit, and the limiting steel plate is positioned in the slit and fixed thereafter. Similarly, a longitudinally arranged limiting steel plate is embedded on the right column.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer edge of the limiting steel sheet also has an arc-shaped structure that is higher in the middle and lower at the top and bottom.

[0023] The above-mentioned design of this invention is also more suitable for the growth of honeycomb cells. When honeycomb cells mature, the cells in the middle of the frame tend to grow longer, extending beyond the frame's surface, while the cells on the top and bottom of the frame grow shorter, extending less beyond the frame's surface. The honeycomb cells on the entire frame exhibit an arc-shaped structure with a higher center and lower top and bottom. The outer edge of the limiting steel plate also has an arc-shaped structure with a higher center and lower top and bottom. This design, combined with the above-mentioned configuration, allows for precise cutting of the honeycomb cover plate while minimizing honey loss.

[0024] Furthermore, the height d1 of the arc is 1-1.5 mm.

[0025] This invention is more suitable for the growth conditions of beehives because, under normal circumstances, when the beehives are full of honey, the cells in the middle of the frame are 1-1.5 mm higher than the cells at the top and bottom.

[0026] Furthermore, the hollow height of the frame is 30-40 centimeters.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
