DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , a queen bee capturing device, comprising:

[0021] The grabbing assembly includes a round rod 10 and two L-shaped moving rods 2, a first elastic member 3, and an elastic clamping plate 4. The round rod 10 is provided with two placement grooves 101. One end of the L-shaped moving rod 2 can slide in the placement groove 101, and the other end is provided with the elastic clamping plate 4. The first elastic member 3 is disposed in the placement groove 101.

[0022] The drive device includes a sleeve 5 with one end closed, a second elastic member 6, and two finger rods 7. The sleeve 5 is provided with an annular groove 501 and two avoidance grooves 502. The diameter of the annular groove 501 decreases from one end to the other. The second elastic member 6 is disposed between the round rod 10 and the sleeve 5. The finger rod 7 is disposed on the round rod 10 with one end thereof extending through the avoidance groove 502.

[0023] The limiting device is used to limit the distance that the sleeve 5 moves. In the present utility model, when it is necessary to catch the queen bee and put it into the queen bee cage, the queen bee's position is determined, the fingers touch the two finger rods 7, and the palm of the hand pushes the sleeve 5 to move it to the left relative to the round rod 10. The diameter of the annular groove 501 decreases from one end to the other end. The wall of the annular groove 501 pushes the L-shaped moving rod 2 to move one end in the placement groove 101 and squeeze the first elastic member 3. The two elastic splints 4 are close to clamp the two sides of the queen bee. The elastic splints 4 are elastic and play a protective role to prevent the queen bee from being injured. At the same time, the limiting device limits the position of the sleeve 5. To prevent it from continuing to move and injuring the queen bee, once the queen bee is trapped, the L-shaped moving rod 2 is placed into the queen bee cage without applying thrust to the sleeve 5. The second elastic member 6 exerts a reaction force on the sleeve 5, causing it to return to its original position. The first elastic member 3 exerts a reaction force on one end of the L-shaped moving rod 2, causing it to return to its original position. The distance between the two elastic splints 4 increases, and the queen bee is placed into the queen bee cage. When it is necessary to capture a worker bee or drone, the distance the sleeve 5 moves is changed by adjusting the limit device, thereby varying the distance between the two elastic splints 4 during capture, thus avoiding injury to the worker bees or drones. Specifically, the first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 6 are both springs; one end of the round rod 10 and the inner wall of the sleeve 5 are both provided with grooves, and the end of the second elastic member 6 is placed in the groove to prevent the second elastic member 6 from falling.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0025] In this embodiment, the round rod 10 is a cylinder with one end closed, and the sealing plate 102 is detachably provided on the round rod 10. The round rod 10 is a cylinder with one end closed, and bee food can be placed on it. After removing the sealing plate 102, the bee food can be poured into the queen cage, and other bees can feed the queen bee.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sealing plate 102 is threadedly connected to the round rod 10, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0027] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped handle 1021 is provided on the sealing plate 102 to facilitate the rotation of the sealing plate 102 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the limiting device includes a threaded rod 8 and several limiting rods 9 of different lengths. The threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the wall of the avoidance groove 502. The limiting rod 9 is arranged on the threaded rod 8. The queen bee, worker bee and drone have different body shapes. By rotating the threaded rod 8, a limiting rod 9 is made to face the finger rod 7. When the sleeve 5 moves, it will drive several limiting rods 9 to move. The limiting rod 9 facing the finger rod 7 will contact the finger rod 7. Since the lengths of the several limiting rods 9 are different, the distance of movement of the sleeve 5 can be limited, so that the distance between the two L-shaped moving rods 2 after approaching each other is different, clamping different bees to avoid injuring the bees.

[0029] In this embodiment, the elastic splint 4 is a silicone splint, which is elastic and avoids hurting the bees when clamping them. Specifically, the elastic splint 4 can also be a rubber splint or a splint made of other elastic materials.

[0030] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
