The various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention preferably provides the following technical solution: a portable ornamental beehive, comprising: an outer frame 111, an inner box that is pulled out and installed with the outer frame 111, and a plurality of hive frames 10 assembled inside the inner box; wherein, the inner box includes a box body 211, viewing windows 212 provided on both sides of the box body 211, and a cover 213 on the top of the box body 211, the viewing windows 212 being used for viewing the inner box; and a lifting frame and wheels 311 respectively provided on the bottom middle side and the outer periphery of the outer frame 111; the lifting frame includes cross supports on both sides and a telescopic support in the middle, wherein the telescopic support is used to drive the cross supports to expand and retract; when the telescopic support drives the cross supports to expand, it is used to lift the beehive away from the ground, and when the telescopic support drives the cross supports to retract and the wheels 311 support the ground, it is used for portable transportation of the beehive.
[0027] In this embodiment, the outer frame 111 and the inner box are installed in a pull-out manner, combined with Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the inner box consists of a box body 211, viewing windows 212 on both sides of the box body 211, and a cover 213 on the top of the box body 211. The box body 211 is used for assembling several honeycomb frames 10. The two viewing windows 212 on both sides are rectangular transparent structures to facilitate observation of the internal structure of the inner box, specifically the honey storage of the honeycomb frames 10 and the honey secretion of bees. The lifting frame and wheels 311 at the bottom of the outer frame 111 enable the switching between the working state and the portable storage state of the beehive.
[0028] Specific combination Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the lifting frame and wheel 311 are distributed inside and outside. The lifting frame itself consists of cross brackets on both sides and telescopic brackets in the middle. The telescopic brackets can serve as the driving structure for the two sets of cross brackets to complete the expansion and retraction of the cross brackets. When the cross brackets are expanded, the outer frame 111 and the inner box rise away from the ground. This design can reduce the impact of ground water on the beehive on the one hand, and reduce the impact of ants and other crawling animals on the beehive on the other hand.
[0029] When the cross bracket retracts, it reduces the size of the beehive, making it easier to store; on the other hand, the wheels 311 around the outer frame 111 support the ground, making it easy to transport the beehive.
[0030] Furthermore, two sets of cross brackets are provided and distributed on both sides of the outer frame 111. Each set of cross brackets includes upper and lower mounting strips 411, wherein the upper mounting strip 411 is fixed to the bottom of the outer frame 111; and sliding grooves 414 respectively opened at one end of the two mounting strips 411, and each sliding groove 414 is provided with a slider 415; and also includes a first support rod 416 and a second support rod 417 distributed in a cross manner, wherein the intersection of the first support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 is rotatably connected by a pivot, one end of the two is rotatably connected to the end of the first support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 away from the slider 415 by a first pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the two sliders 415 by a second pin 422, and the second pin 422 is fixedly connected to the slider 415.
[0031] The spacing of the vertically distributed mounting strips 411 can be adjusted by the first support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 intersecting between them. Since the upper mounting strip 411 is fixed to the bottom of the outer frame 111 and the lower mounting strip 411 supports the ground, the height of the beehive can be adjusted.
[0032] Specific combination Figure 3 , 6 As shown, a slider 415 is provided in the groove 414 opened on one side wall of the mounting strip 411. The intersection of the first support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 is rotatably connected by a pivot. One end of each support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 is rotatably connected to the end away from the slider 415 by a first pin. Figure 6 The other end is rotatably connected to two sliders 415 via a second pin 422. Therefore, when the slider 415 slides laterally inside the corresponding groove 414, that is, when it moves away from or closer to the first pin, the angle between the first support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 is adjusted. Figure 6 When slider 415 moves closer to the first pin, at this time Figure 6 When the bottom ends of the first support rod 416 and the second support rod 417 on the lower mounting strip 411 move closer to each other, their top ends move closer to each other simultaneously, thereby raising the height of the outer frame 111. Figure 3 Conversely, the height of the outer frame 111 is reduced.
[0033] Furthermore, the telescopic frame includes a connecting rod 418 fixed between two lower second pins 422, and a connecting strip 419 fixed at one end of two lower mounting strips 411 away from the connecting rod 418; it also includes a telescopic structure 420 disposed between the connecting strip 419 and the connecting rod 418, wherein the telescopic structure 420 includes a telescopic sleeve fixed on the connecting strip 419, and a telescopic rod disposed inside the telescopic sleeve, and one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the connecting rod 418 through a connecting block 421, and the other end of the telescopic rod is provided with several threaded holes; it also includes a mounting hole disposed on the side wall of the telescopic sleeve, wherein a bolt disposed in the mounting hole has a nut fixed at one end and the other end passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole, which is used to lock the position after the telescopic rod has moved telescopically.
[0034] The telescopic structure 420 here is connected at both ends to the connecting rod 418 and the connecting strip 419, respectively, in combination. Figure 3 The connecting rod 418 is connected to the two lower first pins, thus driving the telescopic rod of the telescopic structure 420 to extend and retract within the telescopic sleeve to complete the lateral sliding of the two lower sliders 415. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rod can be locked by bolts, thereby completing the expansion and retraction process of the two sets of cross supports.
[0035] Furthermore, the box 211 is a frame structure without a top or bottom; the cover 213 is inserted into the top of the box 211 through a plug structure to form the top cover of the box 211; the bottom of the box 211 is covered by a pull-out plate 217 that is pulled out and installed near the bottom side wall of the outer frame 111 to form its bottom plate, and the pull-out plate 217 is used to receive bee secretions.
[0036] This combination Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the top of the box 211 is covered by a cover 213, and the bottom is covered by a pull-out plate 217. The pull-out plate 217 is pulled out and installed on the bottom side wall of the outer frame 111 to realize the recycling and cleaning of bee secretions.
[0037] Furthermore, the insertion block structure includes an insertion frame 214 fixed at the corner of the cover 213, and four insertion strips 215 disposed near the top side wall of the housing 211, wherein the insertion strips 215 correspond one-to-one with the insertion frame 214 and are adapted for insertion, combined with Figure 5 , 7 As shown.
[0038] Furthermore, two breathable meshes 113 are also provided on both sides of the outer frame 111, combined with Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 5, preferably, the mesh size of the breathable net 113 is smaller than that of the bee body. During normal use, the box 211 is in an upward position, which makes the box more visually appealing and also allows the breathable net 113 to have a better ventilation effect.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] As another embodiment of this utility model, the outer frame 111 and the box body 211 are respectively provided with hive entrance adjustment components 216 for adjusting the size of the bee entrance and exit; each hive entrance adjustment component 216 includes a mounting block 2161 fixed near the top of the box body 211; a limiting strip 2162 fixed to the bottom of the mounting block 2161, and a mounting groove 2163 longitudinally opened on the upper part of the limiting strip 2162, which is provided with a fastener 2164; and a groove 112 opened at one end of the outer frame 111, which is slidably installed with the corresponding limiting strip 2162, including an upper limiting groove and a lower through groove. The limiting groove is provided with a screw hole. When the fastener 2164 passes through the mounting groove 2163 and is threadedly connected to the screw hole, it is used to lock the position of the limiting strip 2162. The through groove is used for bees to enter and exit.
[0041] Combination Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, the limiting strip 2162 is connected to the box body 211 via the mounting block 2161, and is slidably installed with the groove 112 opened at the end of the outer frame 111 to adjust the size of the through groove where the outer frame 111 is located. Specifically, when the inner box is pulled up, the limiting strip 2162 can gradually reduce the area it covers in the through groove where the groove 112 is located, thereby adjusting the size of the nest entrance. After adjustment, the fastener 2164 in the mounting groove 2163 on the limiting strip 2162 can lock the position of the limiting strip 2162. The observation area of the viewing window 212 can also be adjusted by the fastener 2164.
