Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bee breeding technology, and in particular to an insulated beehive. Background Art

[0002] Beehives are an important breeding tool in beekeeping, which greatly improves the breeding efficiency of beekeepers. Traditional beehives generally include a base box and a super box. The base box is located directly below the super box and serves as a brooding box, while the super box exists as a honey-producing box. A queen bee board is set between the base box and the super box to separate the two boxes to limit the range of movement of the queen bee.

[0003] In the related technology, especially in areas with large temperature differences, when raising bees, it is necessary to pay attention to the temperature of the beehive, so that the bees in the honeycomb can be kept in a living environment with a stable temperature, and the loss of bees due to rapid temperature changes can be reduced, especially when the temperature drops suddenly, causing the bees to be frostbite or freeze to death.

[0004] With regard to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors found that current beehives are generally wrapped with several layers of cotton cloth around the beehives in winter to improve the thermal insulation performance of the beehives to reduce the impact of sudden temperature drops in winter on the living environment of the bees. However, there will also be sunny days in winter when the temperature is higher. At this time, beekeepers are also required to open the cotton cloth in time, and the steps of opening the cotton cloth wrapped around the beehives multiple times are time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0028] The present application embodiment discloses a heat preservation beehive. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heat preservation beehive comprises a main body box 1 and a heat preservation assembly 2 installed on the outer side wall of the main body box 1. The heat preservation assembly 2 comprises four pressure strips 21 with their bottom ends vertically hingedly installed on the main body box 1 and four external panels 22. Figure 3 and Figure 4 A hook 211 is rotatably connected at the top of the pressure strip 21, and a hook hole 11 is provided at a position of the main box 1 corresponding to the hook 211. The hook 211 extends into the hook hole 11 so that the top of the pressure strip 21 is installed with the main box 1. At this time, the external plate 22 is squeezed and fixed on the outer wall of the main box 1 by the pressure strip 21, and the outer wall of the main box 1 is wrapped to improve the thermal insulation performance of the beehive.

[0029] When the ambient temperature drops, such as when winter comes, the beekeeper can directly insert the external plate 22 between the pressure strip 21 and the main box 1, and then push the pressure strip 21 toward the main box 1, connect the pressure strip 21 and the main box 1 together through the hook 211, and clamp and fix the external plate 22 between the pressure strip 21 and the main box 1, so that the four external plates 22 wrap the side walls of the main box 1, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the beehive.

[0030] When the temperature rises in a short time in winter, the beekeeper can control the tail end of the hook 211 to disengage the main box 1. At this time, the external plate 22 rotates and opens with the pressure strip 21, and the beehive can exchange temperature with the outside through the outer wall. This avoids the workload of the beekeeper to disassemble and assemble the insulation cotton in the short-term warm weather. At the same time, the insulation board 222 is more convenient for long-term storage after being disassembled, which also increases the service life of the insulation beehive.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 Furthermore, in order to improve the resistance of the beehive to sudden temperature changes, a plurality of constant temperature tubes 12 containing phase change materials 13 are arranged in the main box 1, and the phase change temperature of the phase change material 13 is 20°.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 The middle part of the hook 211 is rotatably connected to the pressure strip 21, and the end of the hook 211 away from the main box 1 passes through the pressure strip 21. A return spring 212 which is always in a compressed state is fixed on the pressure strip 21, and the top end of the return spring 212 is hooked on the lower surface of the hook 211 to support the hook 211, so that the hook 211 can be stably hooked in the hook hole 11.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 Furthermore, in order to simplify the operation of the beekeeper, the cross section of the pressure strip 21 is "L" shaped, and the number of the pressure strips 21 is set to 4. The 4 pressure strips 21 are arranged one by one at the four vertical edges of the main box 1, and the two sides of the same pressure strip 21 are respectively pressed against the two external plates 22.

[0034] The vertical edges of the main box 1 are provided with limit members 14 corresponding to the bead 21. The limit members 14 connect the main box 1 and the bead 21 together. The maximum downward rotation angle of the bead 21 does not exceed 45°, so as to limit the opening degree of the bead 21 and reduce the situation where the external panel 22 falls due to the excessive opening degree of the bead 21. Preferably, the downward opening angle of the bead 21 in this embodiment is 30°.

[0035] Specifically, the limiter 14 can be a structure similar to a four-link wind brace, or a metal sheet or metal rod hinged on the pressure strip 21. In this application, since the maximum opening angle of the pressure strip 21 is set to 30°, there is no need to use a more stable four-link wind brace structure, so a relatively simple metal sheet is used for illustration.

[0036] The lower end of the metal sheet is hinged on the pressure strip 21, and a limiting ball 15 is vertically fixed to the end of the metal sheet away from the pressure strip 21. A slide 16 adapted to the limiting ball 15 is vertically arranged at the vertical edge position of the main box 1, and the limiting ball 15 on the metal sheet extends into the slide 16 and is slidably connected to the slide 16.

[0037] Reference Figure 3Furthermore, a connecting rod 213 is installed at the bottom end of the pressure strip 21, and a hinge ball is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 213 away from the pressure strip 21. The hinge ball is installed at the bottom position of the main box 1 in a ball hinge manner, and in order to make the position of the external plate 22 more stable and tight, the length of the connecting rod 213 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the external plate 22. A supporting piece 214 for supporting the external plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure strip 21 on one side facing the main box 1.

[0038] When the beekeeper opens the pressure strip 21, the external plate 22 can be inserted between the pressure strip 21 and the main box 1. At this time, the supporting piece 214 can support and position the external plate 22 to reduce the deviation and falling of the external plate 22.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 Specifically, the external panel 22 includes a three-layer structure, including a hard panel 221, a heat preservation panel 222, and a tarpaulin 223. The surface of the hard panel 221 facing away from the main box 1 is provided with a mounting groove, the heat preservation panel 222 is bonded and fixed in the mounting groove, and the tarpaulin provided on the outer layer of the external panel 22 completely wraps the heat preservation panel 222 in the hard panel 221. A circle of fixing strips 224 is fixed on the edge of the hard panel 221 facing away from the heat preservation panel 222.

[0040] The hard plate 221 is used to shape the structure of the external plate 22 and improve the bearing capacity of the external plate 22 in the squeezed fixed state. The insulation plate 222 and the awning cloth 223 are used to improve the insulation and waterproof capabilities of the external plate 22 and to increase the service life of the external plate 22.

[0041] 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.
