[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1-3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for bee breeding, which includes an external liquid storage tank 1. A corrugated pipe 4 is installed at the lower end of the external liquid storage tank 1, and the other end of the corrugated pipe 4 is connected to an internal breeding tank 3. A lifting member is movably installed in the internal breeding tank 3. The lifting member includes a lifting plate 6 slidably installed inside the internal breeding tank 3. A floating body 12 is fixed at the middle position of the lifting plate 6. Second through holes 9 are equidistantly arranged on the outer edge of the lifting plate 6 close to the floating body 12. First through holes 8 corresponding to the second through holes 9 one by one are equidistantly arranged at the position close to the outer edge of the lifting plate 6. A thick cotton thread 7 penetrates between the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9. Both ends of the thick cotton thread 7 penetrate through the lifting plate 6 and are installed with metal balls 14. And a water-absorbing felt 13 is arranged on the outer side of the thick cotton thread 7 between the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9. The sugar water inside the external liquid storage tank 1 is input into the internal breeding tank 3 through the corrugated pipe 4. At this time, with the setting of the floating body 12, the lifting plate 6 can float. With the setting of the metal balls 14, the thick cotton thread 7 is straightened. Under the action of the capillary phenomenon of the sugar water, the sugar water gradually infiltrates the thick cotton thread 7, thereby realizing the diversion of the sugar water. Through the setting of the water-absorbing felt 13, a better sucking environment can be provided for the bees, thereby preventing the bees from falling into the sugar water and improving the practicability of the device.

[0020] As Figure 2 shown, slide rails 11 are equidistantly fixed on the inner wall of the internal breeding tank 3. Sliding notches 10 slidably connected to the slide rails 11 are equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the lifting plate 6. Through the sliding connection between the slide rails 11 and the sliding notches 10, the stability of the lifting of the lifting plate 6 is improved. The lifting plate 6 is a workpiece made of PP material, and the metal ball 14 is a workpiece made of stainless steel material, improving the anti-corrosion performance of the metal ball 14 and prolonging its service life.

[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a fixing frame 5 is fixed on the outer side of the internal breeding tank 3. The fixing frame 5 is connected to the internal breeding tank 3 by glue. The fixing frame 5 is in an inverted "U" shape structure, and an anti-slip pad is arranged on the inner wall of the fixing frame 5. The anti-slip pad is a component made of rubber material, which is convenient for installing the fixing frame 5 inside the beehive.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, a screen 2 is detachably fixed inside the external liquid storage tank 1, which can realize the filtration of the sugar water, thereby providing a better food source for the bees. And a stop valve is installed at the connection between the bottom of the external liquid storage tank 1 and the corrugated pipe 4 to control the output of the sugar water inside the external liquid storage tank 1.

[0023] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the inner feeding tank 3 is installed inside the beehive through the fixing frame 5, and the sugar water is injected into the outer liquid storage tank 1. Under the setting of the screen 2, the sugar water can be filtered, thereby providing a better food source for the bees, and the sugar water in the outer liquid storage tank 1 is input into the inner feeding tank 3 through the bellows 4. At this time, under the setting of the floating body 12, the lifting plate 6 can float, and under the setting of the metal ball 14, the thick cotton thread 7 is straightened. Under the action of the capillary phenomenon of the sugar water, the sugar water gradually infiltrates the thick cotton thread 7, thereby realizing the diversion of the sugar water. Through the setting of the absorbent felt 13, the feeding environment for the bees can be better improved, thereby preventing the bees from falling into the sugar water, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0024] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in the technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
