[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an intelligent beehive in one embodiment of the utility model includes a beehive body 1 and a box cover 2. A pair of ventilation slots 6 are opened on one end surface of the beehive body 1, and the pair of ventilation slots 6 are respectively located at the upper and lower positions of one end surface, so as to keep the internal temperature and humidity of the beehive body 1 more stable.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of ventilation slots 6 are respectively provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 601, and the plurality of ventilation holes 601 are all located on one side of the ventilation slots 6. The plurality of ventilation holes 601 are all connected to the inside of the beehive body 1, so as to realize ventilation inside the beehive body 1.

[0030] A baffle plate 7 is slidably connected to the interior of a pair of ventilation slots 6. The baffle plate 7 is used to slide and block the ventilation hole 601, thereby controlling the closing of the ventilation hole 601 and further controlling the closing of the ventilation hole.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a drive box 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the ventilation slot 6, and the drive box 8 spans a pair of ventilation slots 6. An electric drive mechanism is installed inside the drive box 8, and the electric drive mechanism can simultaneously drive the baffles 7 inside the pair of ventilation slots 6 to slide. Among them, the electric drive mechanism includes a motor 801, a rotating shaft 802 and a pair of gears 803. The rotating shaft 802 is rotatably connected to the inside of the driving box 8 through a bearing, and the motor 801 is fixedly installed on the top of the driving box 8. The output end of the motor 801 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 802 through a coupling, and the motor 801 can drive the rotating shaft 802 to rotate.

[0032] A pair of gears 803 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 802, and a tooth groove 701 matching the gear 803 is opened on the baffle 7. The gear 803 is meshed and connected with the tooth groove 701. During the rotation of the gear 803, the baffle 7 can be pushed and pulled through the tooth groove 701, so that the baffle 7 can slide horizontally inside the ventilation slot 6.

[0033] Specifically, when the motor 801 drives the rotating shaft 802 to rotate, the pair of gears 803 on the rotating shaft 802 rotate synchronously. At this time, the pair of gears 803 can rotate synchronously, thereby synchronously pushing and pulling the baffles 7 inside the pair of ventilation slots 6 to slide. When the baffles 7 completely slide and block the ventilation holes 601, the ventilation holes are completely closed. When the baffles 7 are completely offset from the plurality of groups of ventilation holes 601, the ventilation holes are completely opened. In this way, the automatic closing of the ventilation holes can be achieved.

[0034] It is worth noting that by controlling the stop position of the baffle 7, the number of ventilation holes 601 blocked by the baffle 7 can also be controlled, thereby controlling the size of the ventilation opening, making it convenient to control the ventilation of the beehive body 1 according to the specific environmental conditions inside the beehive body 1.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a solar panel 3 is fixedly mounted on the box cover 2, and a storage battery 4 is fixedly mounted on one end of the solar panel 3. The solar panel 3 can convert solar energy into electrical energy outdoors, and store the converted electrical energy inside the storage battery 4.

[0036] A power line 5 is fixedly connected between the storage battery 4 and the motor 801, and the storage battery 4 provides power to the motor 801 through the power line 5. In this way, solar energy can be effectively utilized outdoors to provide power for the automatic control vents, saving energy and reducing the use cost of the beehive.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a groove 702 is formed on one end surface of the baffle 7, and a wiping cloth 703 is fixedly installed inside the groove 702. The wiping cloth 703 can automatically wipe and clean the ventilation hole 601 during the sliding process of the baffle 7.

[0038] Specifically, since dust and bacteria easily accumulate in the beehive vents, if they are not cleaned in time, they may affect the health of the bees. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean and disinfect the vents to ensure a healthy and safe living environment for the bees. During the process of sliding the baffle 7 to close the vents, the wiping cloth 703 will wipe and clean the vents 601 to prevent dust and bacteria from accumulating on the vents 601, thereby ensuring a safe and healthy living environment for the bees.

[0039] Among them, the wiping cloth 703 is fixedly connected with the furry surface of the Velcro, and the groove 702 is fixedly connected with the hook surface of the Velcro. The furry surface and the hook surface match each other. The wiping cloth 703 is fixed to the inside of the groove 702 by Velcro, which is convenient for regular replacement of the wiping cloth 703 to ensure the cleaning effect of the ventilation hole 601.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a waterproof frame 9 is fixedly installed at the edge of the ventilation slot 6. The longitudinal section of the waterproof frame 9 is "L"-shaped, which can effectively prevent rainwater from flowing into the interior of the ventilation slot 6 along the outer wall of the beehive body 1, and prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the beehive body 1 through the ventilation hole 601, so that the ventilation slot has a waterproof effect.

[0041] During use, if the inside of the beehive body 1 needs to be ventilated, the motor 801 is started, and the motor 801 drives the rotating shaft 802 to rotate. The gear 803 outside the rotating shaft 802 will push the baffle 7 to slide inside the ventilation slot 6 through the tooth groove 701, so that the baffle 7 and the ventilation hole 601 are staggered, and the inside of the beehive body 1 can be ventilated through the ventilation hole 601. After the ventilation is completed, the motor 801 drives the rotating shaft 802 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the gear 803 pushes the baffle 7 to block and close the ventilation hole 601, and the ventilation can be closed. In the process of the baffle 7 sliding to open and close the ventilation hole 601, the wiping cloth 703 will repeatedly wipe and clean the ventilation hole 601 to ensure the cleanliness of the ventilation hole.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the smart beehive of the utility model can intelligently control the opening and closing of the beehive vents, and can automatically adjust the size of the vents according to the environment inside the beehive, effectively protecting the living environment of the bees in the beehive. At the same time, it does not require manual operation, is highly efficient, and is not prone to errors.

[0043] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
