The use of beehives has ended the traditional beekeeping production method of using earth nests and destroying nests to obtain honey for thousands of years, greatly improving the breeding efficiency of beekeepers. The foundation of the beehive is the artificial foundation of the beehive cell, usually made of beeswax Or non-toxic plastic and other materials are made into sheets, which are pressed by a nesting machine or a flat nesting press.
[0003] The beehive in the related art generally includes a base box and a super box. The base box is located at the bottom and serves as a brooding box. The super box is located above the base box and serves as a honey producing box. A queen board is set between the base box and the super box to separate the two box spaces to limit the queen bee's range of activities.
[0004] There are several honeycombs installed vertically inside the super, and regular hexagonal cells are densely arranged inside the honeycombs. After collecting honey, the bees will brew the honey in the cells of the honeycombs.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors found that when beekeepers collect honey, they need to open the super first and then take out the honeycomb to collect honey. However, this method is labor-intensive and has low efficiency in collecting honey. On the other hand, it also affects the normal breeding of bees in the hive. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.
[0030] The present application embodiment discloses a self-flowing beehive. Figure 1-Figure 3 The automatic beehive comprises a bottom box 1 and a super box 2. The super box 2 is placed and installed directly above the bottom box 1, and a queen board 3 is placed between the bottom box 1 and the super box 2 to limit the range of queen activities. A plurality of U-shaped mounting grooves 21 are vertically fixed in the super box 2, and a honeycomb board 22 is inserted in each mounting groove 21. The plurality of honeycomb boards 22 are arranged in parallel through the mounting grooves 21 for bees to store honey.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The honeycomb plate 22 includes a hive frame 221, a first honeycomb plate 222 and a second honeycomb plate 223. The first honeycomb plate 222 is fixedly connected in the hive frame 221, and the second honeycomb plate 222 is inserted between the hive frame 221 and the first honeycomb plate 222 from bottom to top, so that the second honeycomb plate 223 is vertically slidably connected in the hive frame 221.
[0032] In the initial state of installation and forming, the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223 are spliced together to divide the space in the honeycomb frame 221 into dense regular hexagonal complete honeycombs, and this state is now named the first state. In order to easily distinguish the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223 in the accompanying drawings, two types of hatching are used to distinguish the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223.
[0033] A honey collecting groove 224 is provided at the bottom of the honeycomb frame 221, and the bottom end of the second honeycomb plate 223 extends into the honey collecting groove 224, so that the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223 fill the interior of the honeycomb frame 221 in the form of a complete honeycomb structure. In order to make the honey flow out more smoothly and reduce the residual honey in the honey collecting groove 224, the bottom wall of the honey collecting groove 224 is inclined.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 At the same time, a honey collection hole 23 corresponding to the honey collection groove 224 is opened on the super box 2, and a honey collection tube 231 is passed through the honey collection hole 23. The honey collection tube 231 passes through the honey collection hole 23 and is threadedly connected to the nest frame 221 at the lowest point of the honey collection groove 224.
[0035] Reference Figure 5 After the hive stores enough honey, the beekeeper can control the second honeycomb plate 223 to slide, so that the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223 are offset and connected to each other in the vertical direction, and finally flow automatically into the honey collection trough 224 under the action of gravity. In this application, this state is named the second state.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 In order to facilitate the beekeeper to control the sliding of the second honeycomb plate 223, an adjustment component 24 is also provided in the honeycomb plate 22. The adjustment component 24 includes a rotary rod 241 and a plurality of spur racks 242. The rotary rod 241 passes through the super 2 and is rotatably connected to the top frame of the hive frame 221. A plurality of tooth holes are provided at positions corresponding to the spur racks 242 on the rotary rod 241, and the rotary rod 241 is meshed with the spur racks 242 through the spur racks 242. A twist hole is provided at the end of the rotary rod 241 extending out of the beehive in the direction of the vertical axis.
[0037] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5, an inverted U-shaped outer frame 25 is fixedly provided on the second honeycomb plate 223, and a through hole 250 corresponding to the first honeycomb plate 222 is provided on the upper surface of the outer frame 25. A mounting hole 2211 is provided on the lower surface of the nest frame 221 for the outer frame 25 to be inserted and installed, and the mounting hole 2211 extends upward to the central position of the upper frame of the nest frame 221, and the width of the mounting hole 2211 is greater than the width of the internal space of the nest frame 221. When the outer frame 25 is inserted into the mounting hole 2211, the mounting hole 2211 can limit the sliding space of the outer frame 25 in front and behind, thereby reducing the situation where the honeycomb structure does not fit after the second honeycomb plate 223 slides multiple times.
[0038] In this embodiment, two spur racks 242 are provided, and the two spur racks 242 are respectively fixedly arranged at the front and rear ends of the outer frame 25 of the second honeycomb plate 223. In this way, when the beekeeper rotates the rotating rod 241, the force on the second honeycomb plate 223 will be more uniform.
[0039] The top of the honeycomb plate 22 is horizontally provided with a strip-shaped sliding hole 251 for limiting the rotation rod 241, and the sliding hole 251 horizontally penetrates the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223. A metal reinforcement ring 252 is fixed on the inner wall of the sliding hole 251, and the spur rack 242 is vertically fixed on the inner wall of the reinforcement ring 252 and meshes with the rotation rod 241. On the one hand, the reinforcement ring 252 can reduce the pressure of the second honeycomb plate 223 when it is stressed, so that the stress of the second honeycomb plate 223 is more uniform, thereby improving the durability of the beehive. On the other hand, the reinforcement ring 252 can limit the rotation rod 241 to reduce the displacement and skewness of the second honeycomb plate 223 during movement.
[0040] Furthermore, the sliding hole 251 includes an insertion cavity 2511 and a sliding cavity 2512 which are interconnected, wherein the insertion cavity 2511 is located in the space above the sliding cavity 2512, and the spur rack 242 is vertically fixed to the inner wall of one side of the sliding cavity 2512. During assembly, the rotating rod 241 is first inserted into the insertion cavity 2511 through the nest frame, and then screwed downward into the sliding cavity 2512 through the tooth hole on the rotating rod 241 and the spur rack 242.
[0041] A threaded hole is vertically opened at a position corresponding to the outer frame 25 on the upper surface of the honeycomb plate 22, and a bolt 26 is vertically penetrated in the threaded hole, and the bottom end of the bolt 26 extends into the sliding hole 251. When the rotating rod 241 abuts against the bottom end of the bolt 26, the second honeycomb plate 223 is located in the first state, and the first honeycomb plate 222 and the second honeycomb plate 223 are assembled to form a complete honeycomb. As the rotating rod 241 rotates, the rotating rod 241 and the second honeycomb plate 223 move relative to each other and gradually change to the second state, and honey gradually flows out of the honeycomb through the honey extraction groove 224.
[0042] The implementation principle of a self-flowing beehive in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: in actual use, the newly installed beehive is in the first state. At this time, the queen bee is confined below the queen bee plate 3, the honeycomb is a complete regular hexagonal structure, and the bees store honey in the honeycomb of the honeycomb plate 22.
[0043] When honey needs to be collected, the beekeeper first places the container at the exit of the honey collection tube 231. At this time, most of the honeycombs in the honeycomb plate 22 are in a closed state. The beekeeper first inserts a crowbar into the twist hole, prying the rotary rod 241 to rotate, driving the second honeycomb plate 223 to move downward, the honeycomb structure is staggered, and the honeycomb space closed by honey is broken under the staggering, flowing downward into the honey collection groove 224 and into the container to complete the honey collection. After collecting the honey, the rotary rod 241 is rotated back to make the honeycomb return to a complete state again.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
