Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a plastic frame in the field of artificial beekeeping tools, in particular to a plastic rack. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, "Patent application No. 201720021552.X discloses a detachable group box type nest frame, including a nest frame upper beam, a nest frame side bar and a nest frame lower beam. The upper beam tenons are provided at both ends of the nest frame upper beam, and the nest frame tenons are provided at both ends of the nest frame lower beam. One end of the nest frame side bar is provided with a side bar tenon, and the other end is provided with a side bar tenon. The upper beam tenon groove and the side bar tenon are embedded in a box, and the side bar tenon groove and the lower beam tenon are embedded in a box to form a nest frame. A nest frame ear is provided above the upper beam tenon groove, and a through hole is provided on the nest frame ear. A feeding trough is provided on the upper surface of the nest frame upper beam. The various parts of the utility model can be disassembled and assembled and reused, which is convenient for honeycomb maintenance and repair. The upper beam of the hive frame is provided with a feeding trough, and the hive frame ears are provided with through holes for stabilizing the hive frame when carrying the beehive, thereby increasing the stability of the inside of the beehive and reducing the production cost. However, this product has the following shortcomings, for example: 1. The connection between the hive frame side bar and the hive frame lower beam is not stable enough. The tenon at the connection position is downward, and the hive frame side bar does not support the two ends of the hive frame lower beam. During use, the hive frame lower beam supports the artificial nest substrate. When the bees build honeycombs in the artificial nest substrate, the weight supported by the hive frame lower beam will continue to increase. The hive frame lower beam is easy to fall off and often falls off, causing the honeycomb to fall off and causing losses; 2. The space in the beehive should be large enough. When the hive is fully utilized, the frames placed in the beehive are close to each other with small intervals. There is no space between adjacent frames to accommodate fingers. The frame ears are hung on the supports in the beehive. When taking out the frames, there is no space for fingers to grip, making it difficult to take out the frames in the beehive. 3. In order to reduce the weight, more square grooves are opened on the side of the frame side bars, which makes the square grooves easy to get dirty and moldy and difficult to clean. 4. Although the width of the lower beam of the frame is smaller than the mortise and tenon of the side bars, there is a gap relative to the mortise and tenon of the two side bars. When the frames are pressed against each other in the beehive, bees can enter the frames through the gaps on both sides of the lower beam, but the gaps are below the frames. , and a nesting base is provided in the middle of the hive frame to divide the hive frame into two parts. It is difficult for bees to turn over from one side of the nesting base to the other side of the hive frame, or it is difficult for bees to reach the adjacent hive frame from one of the hive frames. They can only turn over from the bottom beam. Bees do not like to turn over from the bottom to the other end of the nesting base, which easily causes some hive frames to have fewer honeycombs on one side and concentrated honeycombs on the other side; 5. A feeding trough is provided on the upper surface of the hive frame upper beam, and it is difficult for bees to enter the feeding trough to eat sugar, and the feeding trough is prone to insects and blackening and mold; 6. When honey needs to be packaged in blocks for sale, the honey in the hive frame must be cut into blocks and boxed, which is not convenient enough. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the deficiencies of the prior art described above, the present invention provides a plastic frame that can replace the plastic frame of the hive frame in the prior art. The vertical side bars of the frame can support and connect the lower side bars, and the lower side bars can prevent them from falling off when subjected to gravity, and the connection stability is high. The lower ends of the vertical side bars are provided with gradually shrinking thin edges connected to the lower side bars. Bees can easily flip sideways from the gap on any side of the thin edges of the lower ends of the vertical side bars to enter the back of the hive frame without having to flip over from the bottom to the other end of the hive substrate or another adjacent hive frame, which is also suitable for the habits of bees. The upper side bars are provided with retracted hanging ears on both sides. During use, the fingers can easily grab the two sides of the hanging ears of the frame to take out the frame without increasing the spacing between adjacent frames. It is convenient to take the frame out of the beehive, and the space of the beehive can be maximized. The outer end surfaces of all the side bars of the frame are flat and have no grooves, which prevent insects from growing and making cleaning difficult during use. The frame includes a plurality of honeycomb boxes, which are convenient for bees to produce a specific amount of honey and reduce the trouble of cutting and boxing the honey.

[0004] The utility model adopts the following technical solution: a plastic frame, including a frame body, the frame body including vertical side bars, upper side bars, and lower side bars, the vertical side bars of the frame body can support and fix the upper side bars and the lower side bars, the upper end of the vertical side bars is provided with a first dovetail groove and the lower end is provided with a second dovetail groove, both ends of the upper side bars are provided with dovetail frames, the dovetail frames can be inserted into the first dovetail groove and fixed with a clamping fit, the lower end of the vertical side bars is provided with a thin lower end with a gradually reduced width connected to the lower side bars Then, a second dovetail frame is provided at both ends of the lower side bar, and the second dovetail frame can be inserted into the second dovetail groove and clamped and fixed. After the two vertical side bars are connected and fixed with the upper side bar and the lower side bar, an overall frame is formed. When the lower side bar is subjected to a large gravity, it can prevent it from falling off, and the connection stability is high. Bees can also easily flip sideways through the gap on either side of the thin end of the lower end of the vertical side bar to enter the honeycomb at the other end, without having to flip over from the bottom to the honeycomb base plate of the frame to the honeycomb at the other end.

[0005] The vertical side bars of the frame are provided with retractable hanging ears on both sides of the upper end, i.e., the width of the two sides of the hanging ears is smaller than the width of the upper side bars. Support bones are provided at the left and right ends of the beehive, and the support bones can support the hanging ears at both ends of the frame. The retractable hanging ears on both sides of the vertical side bars can be used to conveniently grab the retracted positions of the hanging ears on both sides of the frame to remove the frame without increasing the spacing between adjacent frames. This makes it easier to remove the frame from the beehive, and adjacent frames can be placed closer together, allowing more frames to be placed, and maximizing the utilization of the beehive space.

[0006] Anti-slip grooves are provided on both sides of the hanging ears at the upper ends of the vertical side bars of the frame, making it more convenient to grab the two sides of the hanging ears and take out the frame during use.

[0007] The width of each side of the hanging ears shrinks by 5-8 mm, so that the intervals between adjacent hanging ears can more easily accommodate fingers, which is very convenient when grabbing the hanging ears.

[0008] The vertical side bars, upper side bars and lower side bars of the frame are made of plastic material, are light in weight and are not prone to mold.

[0009] The vertical side bars, upper side bars and lower side bars of the frame are made of hollow plastic material.

[0010] The outer end surfaces of the vertical side bars, the upper side bars and the lower side bars of the frame are flat and have no grooves, so as to avoid the growth of insects and difficulty in cleaning during use.

[0011] The vertical side bars are provided with a number of wire pulling holes, through which a number of wires can be passed. The honeycomb base can be placed in the wires of the frame to be clamped or supported and fixed. The honeycomb base divides the frame into two parts, namely the front end face and the rear end face. When the frame is placed in the beehive, the bees will go to the front end face and the rear end face of the honeycomb base in the frame to produce honey.

[0012] The frame includes a middle side bar and a honeycomb box. The vertical side bars of the frame can support and fix the upper side bar, the middle side bar and the lower side bar. A number of detachable honeycomb boxes are provided between the upper side bar and the middle side bar. The honeycomb boxes are clamped between the upper side bar and the middle side bar. After the bees have produced enough honey in the honeycomb box, they take out the honeycomb box to obtain boxed honey blocks, which can be directly packaged and sold; or after taking out the honeycomb box, the excess honey blocks around the honeycomb box are cut off to obtain honey with the same capacity as the honeycomb box, which is more convenient in the sales process. Consumers can also take only the capacity of a small box when eating, which is also convenient and can avoid the trouble of cutting and packing. The weight of the honey blocks in the honeycomb box can also be directly estimated and sold within the error range or at a price calculated according to the capacity of the honeycomb box.

[0013] The upper ends of the vertical side bars are provided with two first dovetail grooves spaced from top to bottom, and the two ends of the upper side bar and the middle side bar are provided with dovetail frames of the same shape, which can be inserted into their respective corresponding first dovetail grooves and clamped and fixed. When the two vertical side bars are connected and fixed with the upper side bar, the middle side bar and the lower side bar, a frame body capable of placing honeycomb boxes is formed.

[0014] The capacity of the honeycomb box can be set to any capacity value between 20-250ML, preferably any one of 50ML, 100ML, 150ML, 200ML, and 250ML, and can be sold by capacity when sold.

[0023] exist Figure 1-4In the embodiment shown, a plastic frame includes a frame body, the frame body includes a vertical side bar 1, an upper side bar 4, and a lower side bar 8. The vertical side bar 1 of the frame body can support and fix the upper side bar 4 and the lower side bar 8. The upper end of the vertical side bar 1 is provided with a first dovetail groove 3 and the lower end is provided with a second dovetail groove 7. Both ends of the upper side bar 4 are provided with a dovetail frame 5, which can be inserted into the first dovetail groove 3 and fixed with a clamping fit. The lower end of the vertical side bar 1 is provided with a thin lower end 11 with a gradually reduced width connected to the lower side bar 8 Next, second dovetail frames 9 are provided at both ends of the lower side bar 8, and the second dovetail frames 9 can be inserted into the second dovetail groove 7 and fixed with a clamp. When the two vertical side bars 1 are connected and fixed with the upper side bar 4 and the lower side bar 8, an overall frame is formed. The lower side bar 1 can prevent falling off when subjected to a large gravity, and the connection stability is high. Bees can also easily flip sideways through the gap on either side of the thin edge 11 at the lower end of the vertical side bar 1 to enter the honeycomb at the other end, without having to flip over from the bottom to the honeycomb at the other end of the honeycomb base plate of the frame.

[0024] Retractable ears 2 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the vertical side bars 1 of the frame, that is, the width of the ears 2 on both sides is smaller than the width of the upper side bars 4. Support bones 16 are provided on the left and right ends of the beehive 14, and the support bones 16 can support the ears 2 at both ends of the frame. Retractable ears 2 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the vertical side bars 1. During use, the interval between adjacent frames can be kept unchanged. The fingers can easily grab the retracted positions on both sides of the ears 2 at both ends of the frame to take out the frame. It is convenient to take the frame out of the beehive 14, and the adjacent frames can be closer together, so that more frames can be placed and the beehive space can be maximized.

[0025] Anti-slip grooves are provided on both sides of the upper end hooks 2 of the vertical side bars 1 of the frame, making it easier to grab both sides of the hooks 2 and take out the frame during use.

[0026] The width of each side of the hanging ears 2 is shrunk by 5-8 mm, so that the intervals between adjacent hanging ears 2 can more easily accommodate fingers, which makes it very convenient to grab the hanging ears 2 .

[0027] The vertical side bars 1, the upper side bars 4 and the lower side bars 8 of the frame are made of plastic material, which is light in weight and not easy to mold.

[0028] The vertical side bars 1 , the upper side bars 4 and the lower side bars 8 of the frame are made of hollow plastic material.

[0029] The outer end surfaces of the vertical side bars 1, the upper side bars 4 and the lower side bars 8 of the frame are flat and have no grooves, which can prevent insects from growing and making cleaning difficult during use.

[0030] The vertical side bars 1 are provided with a plurality of wire holes 10, through which a plurality of wires 13 can be passed. The honeycomb base sheet can be placed in the wires 13 of the frame body for clamping or support and fixation. The honeycomb base sheet divides the frame body into two parts, namely the front end face and the rear end face. When the frame body is placed in the beehive, the bees will go to the front end face and the rear end face of the honeycomb base sheet in the frame body to produce honey.

[0031] exist Figure 3-4 In the illustrated embodiment, a bee entrance 16 of the beehive 14 is located at the lower end. Bees enter the beehive 14 through the entrance 16 to build nests and produce honey. When several frames are placed within the support ribs 16 of the beehive 14, the gaps between adjacent frames can be reduced. The vertical side bars 1 are provided with retractable hooks 2 on both sides of their upper ends, with larger spacing between adjacent hooks 2. This allows for easy finger gripping of the hooks 2 when a frame is needed. The vertical side bars 1 support and securely connect the lower side bars 8, preventing them from falling off under gravity and providing a highly stable connection. The lower ends of the vertical side bars 1 are provided with gradually tapering edges 11, connecting to the lower side bars 8. This increases the gap width between the lower ends of adjacent frames, allowing bees to easily flip sideways through the gaps on either side of the thin edges 11 at the lower ends of the vertical side bars 1 to enter the other end of the honeycomb sheet or the honeycomb of an adjacent frame, eliminating the need to flip from the bottom to the other end. This also accommodates the bees' tendency to flip sideways.

[0032] exist Figure 5-6 In the second embodiment shown, for example: after the bees have produced enough honey in the honeycombs in the frame of the beehive, the workers will take out the frame, then take out the honey, cut the honey into blocks and weigh them for sale, or squeeze the whole honey, broken honeycombs, etc., and take out the honey for sale. When cutting the honey into blocks and weighing them, the workers need to cut them carefully and pack the cut honey into boxes, which is more troublesome. By providing a frame that can hold the honeycomb box 12, the bees can build honeycombs and produce honey directly in the honeycomb box 12, which can reduce the trouble of cutting and boxing, and can also directly estimate the weight of the honey blocks for sale, which is more convenient to use.

[0033] A plastic rack comprises vertical side strips 1, upper side strips 4, lower side strips 8, middle side strips 6, and honeycomb boxes 12. The vertical side strips 1 of the rack body can support and fix the upper side strips 4, middle side strips 6, and lower side strips 8. A plurality of detachable honeycomb boxes 12 are provided between the upper side strips 4 and the middle side strips 6. The honeycomb boxes 12 are clamped between the upper side strips 4 and the middle side strips 6. After the honeycomb boxes 12 are full of honey, the bees take out the honeycomb boxes 12 to obtain boxed honey blocks, which can be directly packaged and sold; or after taking out the honeycomb boxes 12, the excess honey blocks around the honeycomb boxes 12 are cut off to obtain honey with the same capacity as the honeycomb boxes 12, which is more convenient in the sales process. Consumers can also take only the capacity of a small box when eating, which is also convenient and can avoid the trouble of cutting and boxing. The weight of the honey blocks in the honeycomb boxes 12 can also be directly estimated and sold within the error range or at a price calculated according to the capacity of the honeycomb boxes 12.

[0034] The upper end of the vertical side bar 1 is provided with two first dovetail grooves 3 separated from top to bottom and the lower end is provided with a second dovetail groove 7. The upper side bar 4 and the middle side bar 6 are provided with the same dovetail frame 5 at both ends, and the dovetail frame 5 can be inserted into the first dovetail groove 3 and fixed with a clamp. The lower end of the vertical side bar 1 is provided with a thin lower end 11 with a gradually decreasing width and connected to the lower side bar 8. The two ends of the lower side bar 8 are provided with a second dovetail frame 9, and the second dovetail frame 9 can be inserted into the second dovetail groove 7 and fixed with a clamp. When the two vertical side bars 1 are connected and fixed with the upper side bar 4, the middle side bar 6, and the lower side bar 8, an overall frame body is formed. The lower side bar 1 can prevent falling off when subjected to greater gravity, and the connection stability is high. Bees can also easily flip into the opposite honeycomb from the larger gaps on both sides of the thin side ends of the lower end of the vertical side bar 1 without having to flip over from the bottom.

[0035] The capacity of the honeycomb box 12 can be set to any capacity value between 20-250ML, preferably any one of 50ML, 100ML, 150ML, 200ML, and 250ML, and can be sold by capacity when sold.
