[0002] In winter, the weather in most areas of Northeast, Northwest and North my country is cold, worker bees stop activities outside the nest and queen bees stop laying eggs. At present, bee colonies mainly overwinter outdoors. As long as they are properly managed, bee colonies overwintering outdoors basically do not suffer from diarrhea and heat damage, and the bee colonies develop faster in spring. Beehives are the basic tools for bees to reproduce and produce bee products.

[0003] The simple insulation covers for beehives currently available on the market can play an insulation role to a certain extent, but have obvious deficiencies in ventilation design. In actual use, the ventilation requirements vary greatly in different seasons, weather conditions, and the status of the bee colony in the beehive. For example, in early spring or late autumn, the outside temperature is low but the bee colony activities gradually become more frequent, and appropriate ventilation is needed to ensure the freshness of the air without losing too much heat. During periods of higher temperatures, a larger ventilation volume is needed in the beehive to dissipate heat and prevent the bee colony from becoming abnormal due to overheating. Most insulation covers are only equipped with a simple vent, which cannot adjust the ventilation volume of the vent according to actual needs, and there are certain deficiencies.

[0021] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] The present embodiment provides a simple thermal insulation cover for a beehive. The present invention can achieve a ventilation effect on the beehive inside the thermal insulation cover by providing a ventilation component 6. By providing an adjustment component 7, the ventilation volume of the ventilation component 6 can be adjusted, so that in different seasons and under different bee colony activity conditions, the beekeeper can flexibly adjust the ventilation volume of the ventilation component 6 according to actual needs, thereby helping to maintain a stable temperature and humidity environment in the beehive, providing suitable living and reproduction conditions for the bees, and improving the health level and production efficiency of the bee colony.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 6 A simple thermal insulation cover for a beehive includes an outer thermal insulation cover 1, which is made of a tough and durable canvas material with good thermal insulation performance. Its shape is designed to be a rectangular parallelepiped that fits the shape of the beehive. It can wrap the beehive in all directions and minimize heat loss. The front top of the outer thermal insulation cover 1 is firmly fixed to a box cover 2 by strong stitches. The box cover 2 is also made of canvas material. The close connection between the two ensures the integrity of the overall structure of the thermal insulation cover.

[0024] At the edge of the box cover 2, a high-quality zipper 3 is precisely fixed and installed. The zipper 3 uses rust-proof metal chain teeth combined with wear-resistant nylon cloth strips to ensure long-term smooth use. The outer insulation cover 1 and the box cover 2 are flexibly connected with the help of the zipper 3. This connection method not only makes it convenient for the beekeeper to open the box cover 2 at any time to inspect and operate the inside of the beehive, but also can form a good sealing effect when closed to prevent cold air from entering.

[0025] An ergonomically designed handle 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the zipper 3. The handle 4 is shaped so that it is easy for a person to hold and open the box cover 2 to check the status of the bee colony.

[0026] The inner wall of the outer heat-insulating cover 1 is evenly fixedly connected with Velcro 5, which is made of nylon material with strong adhesion and wear resistance, and can stably fix the ventilation component 6.

[0027] A ventilation assembly 6 is cleverly provided on the front side of the outer heat-insulating cover 1 .

[0028] The ventilation component 6 is composed of a strip plate 601 bonded to the outer surface of the Velcro 5. The strip plate 601 is made of lightweight plastic material and is in the shape of a long strip. A ventilation hole 602 is opened inside it. The ventilation hole 602 runs through the outer surface of the strip plate 601. The ventilation hole 602 is designed as a slot that is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. It is of moderate size, which can not only ensure sufficient ventilation but also prevent bees from escaping accidentally.

[0029] Two T-shaped slots 603 are provided on the outer surface of the vent 602. The design of the T-shaped slots 603 enables the adjustment component 7 matched therewith to slide stably and accurately adjust the ventilation volume.

[0030] An adjustment assembly 7 is provided on the front side of the outer heat-insulating cover 1 .

[0031] The adjustment component 7 includes a T-shaped slide bar 701 slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped slide groove 603 . The T-shaped slide bar 701 is made of a smooth plastic material and can slide smoothly in the T-shaped slide groove 603 .

[0032] The outer surface of the T-shaped slide 701 is firmly fixed with a flexible baffle 702. The flexible baffle 702 is made of a soft and elastic rubber material. Its shape is adapted to the strip plate 601, and its outer surface is in close contact with the outer surface of the strip plate 601. When the flexible baffle 702 moves, it can effectively block or expose the vent 602 to achieve the adjustment of the ventilation volume.

[0033] The outer surface of the flexible baffle 702 is fixedly connected with a pull ring 1 703 and a pull ring 2 704. The pull ring 1 703 and the pull ring 2 704 are both made of metal and are round in shape, making it convenient for the beekeeper to hook and pull the flexible baffle 702 with his fingers.

[0034] At the same time, the outer surface of the flexible baffle 702 is also fixedly connected with Velcro 4 705 and Velcro 5 706. Velcro 4 705 is bonded to Velcro 2 8 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer thermal insulation cover 1, and Velcro 5 706 is bonded to Velcro 3 9. Velcro 2 8 and Velcro 3 9 are also made of highly sticky nylon material. When the flexible baffle 702 is adjusted to a suitable position, the adhesive effect of the Velcro can achieve a limiting and fixing effect on the left and right ends of the flexible baffle 702, thereby ensuring the stability of the flexible baffle 702 in a stationary state, and avoiding changes in the number of vents 602 used due to accidental movement of the flexible baffle 702, thereby ensuring precise control of the ventilation volume.

[0035] A nest door 10 is provided on the front side of the outer heat-insulating cover 1. The nest door 10 is rectangular in shape and has a size that allows bees to enter and exit freely. The location is reasonably designed to facilitate bees to enter and exit the beehive.

[0036] The outer heat-insulating cover 1 is movably connected to a drawstring 11 made of a strong nylon rope. Its function is to firmly fix the heat-insulating cover as a whole on the beehive to prevent the heat-insulating cover from being blown off or shifted in severe weather conditions such as strong winds.

[0037] The inner wall of the outer insulation cover 1 is also fixedly connected to the inner insulation cover 12. The inner insulation cover 12 is made of foam material with excellent thermal insulation performance. Its shape matches the outer insulation cover 1, which can further enhance the overall thermal insulation effect of the insulation cover and create a more stable temperature environment for the bees in the beehive.

[0038] Working principle: When the ventilation volume needs to be adjusted during operation, the beekeeper can pull the pull ring 2 704, which drives the flexible baffle 702, the T-shaped slide 701, the pull ring 1 703, the Velcro 4 705 and the Velcro 5 706 to move together, and the flexible baffle 702 gradually releases the obstruction of the vent 602, thereby adjusting the number of vents 602 used to adjust the ventilation volume. At this time, the Velcro 4 705 and the Velcro 2 8 are bonded to each other to limit and fix the left end of the flexible baffle 702, and the Velcro 5 706 and the Velcro 3 9 are bonded to each other to limit and fix the right end of the flexible baffle 702. The limited fixation ensures the stability of the flexible baffle 702 in a static state and prevents it from moving left and right, which would change the number of vents 602 in use. The zipper 3 is opened and the handle 4 is pulled upwards to open the box cover 2, which is convenient for checking the status of the bee colony. The hive door 10 is for bees to enter and exit. The drawstring 11 is used to fix the insulation cover as a whole on the beehive. The inner insulation cover 12 further improves the insulation effect. The ventilation component 6 is bonded to the Velcro 5, which makes it easy to disassemble the ventilation component 6 and clean the dust adhering to the vent 602, thereby ensuring the ventilation effect of the subsequent ventilation component 6.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
