[0007] Among them, the cleaning mechanism includes a pressure pump, a ball valve, a branch pipe, a pressure rod, a button, a movable ring, a thin water pipe, a trapezoidal rod, a telescopic motor, a shovel plate, a branch pipe and a thick water pipe. The branch pipe is fixedly installed below the storage box, the pressure pump is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the branch pipe, the ball valve is fixedly installed inside the branch pipe, the branch pipe is fixedly installed below the branch pipe, pressure rods are slidably installed on the lower sides of the branch pipe, the thick water pipe is fixedly installed below the branch pipe, the circumferential surface of the thick water pipe is slidably installed with a movable ring, and the movable ring is slidably installed on the circumferential surface of the movable ring. A trapezoidal rod is fixedly installed on the circumference, a thin water pipe is swingably installed on the circumference below the thick water pipe, the telescopic motor is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the machine body, and a shovel is fixedly installed on the output end of the telescopic motor. When hot water enters the distribution pipe, the pressure rod will be pushed outward under the action of the pressure pump, and will eventually collide with the button. The shovel below will reciprocate under the drive of the telescopic motor to scrape off the syrup below and push the trapezoidal rod upward. When the trapezoidal rod moves upward, it will drive the moving ring to move up and down, thereby driving the thin water pipe to move up and down.
[0008] According to the above technical solution, the pressure rod is in contact with the button, the shovel plate is in contact with the machine body, the trapezoidal rod is in contact with the shovel plate, and multiple through holes are opened on the feed table. When the shovel plate below is driven by the telescopic motor to reciprocate, it will clean the bottom of the machine body to prevent syrup from caking at the bottom.
[0009] According to the above technical solution, the movable ring and the thin water pipe are connected by a thin rope, and each movable ring is connected by a straight rod. The trapezoidal rod will drive the movable ring to move up and down. When the movable ring on one side moves up and down, it will drive the other movable rings through the straight rod, thereby avoiding incomplete cleaning with hot water.
[0010] According to the above technical solution, the alarm mechanism includes an alarm flag, a locking rod, a shift plate, a bent rod, a float plate, a conical plug, and a flag box. The flag box is fixedly installed on the front of the machine body, the alarm flag is fixedly installed on the front of the machine body, the locking rod slides through the alarm flag, the float plate is floated inside the water storage tank, the bent rod is fixedly installed above the float plate, the shift plate is fixedly installed on the middle circumference of the bent rod, and the other end of the bent rod is connected to the conical plug chain, so that the limit of the locking rod is released, the locking rod pops outward due to the spring, and the alarm flag is released from the limit and pops up upward to sound an alarm. A No. 2 spring is arranged between the alarm flag and the flag box.
[0011] According to the above technical solution, a No. 1 spring is provided between the body and the locking rod. When the locking rod is limited by the shift plate, the No. 1 spring between the locking rod and the body will be stretched. When the position limit of the locking rod is released, the No. 1 spring will pull the locking rod out of the slot, release the position limit of the alarm flag, and make it pop up to sound an alarm.
[0012] According to the above technical solution, the trapezoidal rod is in contact with the shovel plate, and a plurality of through holes are provided on the feed table. When the shovel plate moves back and forth through the telescopic motor, it will come into contact with the trapezoidal rod to push it upward, and the through holes can make the feed evenly spread on the feed table.
[0013] The present invention provides a feeding device for bee breeding, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) In this utility model, hot water is poured into the storage box, and the ball valve is opened to allow the hot water to enter the outlet pipe. Under the action of the pressure pump, the hot water will push the pressure rod outward, and eventually it will collide with the button, and the telescopic motor will start to telescope. The movement of the telescopic motor drives the shovel to move, and the shovel moves back and forth to drive the trapezoidal rod to move back and forth upward. When the trapezoidal rod moves back and forth, it will drive the moving ring to move up and down, thereby driving the thin water pipe to move up and down. The hot water enters the thick water pipe and is sprayed out from the thin water pipe when it moves up and down, avoiding incomplete cleaning.
[0015] (2) The utility model stores sugar water in a material storage box above. The sugar water enters the distribution pipe through the distribution pipe, and slowly enters the feed trough through the sugar water pipe in the distribution pipe, drips on the feed table and penetrates from top to bottom. The uneaten sugar water will flow into the water storage tank through the inclined plate below, and will not be wasted. When the water level in the water storage tank is full, the internal float plate moves upward under the buoyancy of the sugar water. When the float plate moves upward, it drives the support rod, and when the support rod moves upward, it drives the bent rod upward. When the bent rod rises, it presses the conical plug to block the distribution pipe, thereby stopping the feeding, avoiding waste, and the stop plate on the bent rod will also leave, thereby releasing the limit of the locking rod. The locking rod pops outward due to the spring, and the alarm flag releases the limit and pops up upward to sound an alarm. The sugar water in the water storage tank is cleaned in time, which can effectively avoid environmental pollution and the bees without food. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Among them, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a pressure pump 601, a ball valve 602, a branch pipe 603, a pressure rod 604, a button 605, a movable ring 606, a thin water pipe 607, a trapezoidal rod 608, a telescopic motor 609, a shovel plate 610, a branch pipe 611 and a thick water pipe 612. The branch pipe 611 is fixedly installed below the storage box 5. The pressure pump 601 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the branch pipe 611, the ball valve 602 is fixedly installed inside the branch pipe 611, the branch pipe 603 is fixedly installed below the branch pipe 611, and sliding devices are installed inside the two sides of the branch pipe 603. A pressure rod 604 is installed, a thick water pipe 612 is fixedly installed below the branch pipe 603, a movable ring 606 is slidably installed on the circumferential surface of the thick water pipe 612, a trapezoidal rod 608 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the movable ring 606, a thin water pipe 607 is swingably installed on the circumferential surface below the thick water pipe 612, a telescopic motor 609 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the body 1, and a shovel plate 610 is fixedly installed on the output end of the telescopic motor 609, thereby driving the thin water pipe 607 to move up and down, which can effectively remove stains inside the beehive and prevent the accumulated syrup from attracting ants and some insects harmful to the bees.
[0025] The pressure rod 604 is in contact with the button 605, the shovel plate 610 is in contact with the body 1, the trapezoidal rod 608 is in contact with the shovel plate 610, and a plurality of through holes are provided on the feeding table 3. When the shovel plate 610 below is driven by the telescopic motor 609 to reciprocate, it will clean the bottom of the body 1 to prevent syrup from caking at the bottom. The cleaning of the bottom is more thorough to prevent the syrup from attracting harmful insects.
[0026] The movable ring 606 and the thin water pipe 607 are connected by a thin rope, and each movable ring 606 is connected by a straight rod. When the movable ring 606 on one side moves up and down, it will drive the other movable rings 606 through the straight rod, avoiding incomplete cleaning with hot water.
[0027] Among them, the alarm mechanism 7 includes an alarm flag 701, a locking rod 702, a shift plate 703, a bent rod 704, a floating plate 705 and a conical plug 706. The alarm flag 701 is fixedly installed on the front of the body 1, the locking rod 702 slides through the alarm flag 701, the floating plate 705 is floatingly installed inside the water storage tank 8, the bent rod 704 is fixedly installed above the floating plate 705, the shift plate 703 is fixedly installed on the middle circumferential surface of the bent rod 704, and the other end of the bent rod 704 is chain-connected with the conical plug 706. The alarm flag 701 is released from the limit and pops up upward to sound an alarm, thereby avoiding overflow of the water storage tank 8 due to full water, causing environmental pollution.
[0028] A No. 1 spring is provided between the body 1 and the locking rod 702. When the locking rod 702 is limited by the shift plate 703, the No. 1 spring between the locking rod 702 and the body 1 will be stretched. When the position restriction of the locking rod 702 is released, the No. 1 spring will pull the locking rod 702 out of the slot, release the position restriction of the alarm flag 701, and make it pop up to sound an alarm.
[0029] The trapezoidal rod 608 contacts the shovel plate 610. When the shovel plate 610 is reciprocated by the telescopic motor 609, it contacts the trapezoidal rod 608 and pushes it upward.
[0030] There are multiple through holes on the feeding table 3. When sugar water drips from the sugar water pipe 4 into the uppermost feeding table 3, it will flow from the through holes to the next layer, preventing the bees from having no place to land.
[0031] When this embodiment is working: when it is necessary to feed the bees, pour the sugar water into the storage box, open the ball valve on the side of the tapered plug in the distribution pipe, and the sugar water will enter the upper side of the distribution pipe and enter the sugar water pipe from the distribution pipe. The sugar water pipe will slow down the flow rate of the sugar water, and eventually it will drip drop by drop into the top layer of the feed table at one end of the feed trough. The sugar water will flow through the through holes on the feed table to the next layer, and finally flow to the inclined plate of the machine body and enter the water storage bin.
[0032] Pour enough hot water into the storage box, open another ball valve, and turn on the pressure pump. The hot water will generate huge pressure on the bottom due to the pressure pump. When the hot water flows to the lower side of the outlet pipe, it will impact the pressure rod, pushing it outward toward the button. When the button is pressed, the telescopic motor below starts, pushing the shovel in front to move back and forth. When the shovel moves, it will push the trapezoidal rod upward. When the trapezoidal rod moves, it will drive the moving ring up and down. When the moving ring moves, it will drive the thin water pipe below to move up and down, avoiding incomplete hot water cleaning and attracting ants and some insects that are harmful to bees.
[0033] When the water storage bin is full, the internal float plate will be pushed upward, and the upward movement of the float plate will drive the bending rod to move upward, and the upward movement of the bending rod will drive the conical plug in the storage box to return to block the dispensing port, and when the bending rod moves upward, it will drive the shift plate on the bending rod, and when the shift plate moves, the position restriction of the positioning rod will be released, and when the position restriction of the positioning rod is released, it will contact the position restriction of the alarm flag, and after the position restriction of the alarm flag is released, it will pop up and sound an alarm, thereby avoiding sugar water overflow and causing waste and polluting the environment.
