Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beehive handling technology, specifically to an electric handcart for handling beehives. Background Technology

[0002] Because beekeepers need to frequently change their apiary locations throughout the year depending on the blooming time of flowers in different seasons, each relocation requires moving the beehives onto a vehicle. Currently, beekeepers move the beehives one by one, which is physically demanding and inefficient. To solve this problem of moving and loading beehives onto vehicles during each relocation, an electric handcart for beehive transport has been invented. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this invention provides an electric handcart for transporting beehives.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: an electric handcart for transporting beehives, including a frame, a shelf slidably arranged on one side of the frame, and multiple sets of insert rods connected to the bottom of the shelf by hinges;

[0005] A first handlebar is provided on the top of the frame, and a second handlebar is provided on both sides of the middle part of the frame;

[0006] The main travel wheel is rotatably mounted on the side of the frame away from the shelf, a support shaft is connected to the middle of the main travel wheel, and a motor is connected to one side of the support shaft;

[0007] The support shaft is connected to the vehicle frame via a U-shaped buckle;

[0008] Both the first handle and the second handle are equipped with switches for controlling the motor; turning the first handle and the second handle controls the motor to work.

[0009] Specifically, a secondary wheel is provided on the inner side of the main traveling wheel. The secondary wheel is fixedly connected to the main traveling wheel by bolts, and the diameter of the secondary wheel is smaller than that of the main traveling wheel.

[0010] Specifically, a second support wheel is provided on the side of the frame away from the shelf, and rotating wheels are installed on both sides of the end of the frame away from the first handle.

[0011] Specifically, a pressure pump is fixedly installed in the middle of the side of the vehicle frame away from the shelf, and a telescopic rod is connected to one side of the pressure pump. The pressure pump is used to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic end of the telescopic rod. A control box is installed on one side of the vehicle frame, and the control box is electrically connected to the pressure pump.

[0012] Specifically, the telescopic rod has a transmission gear shaft fixedly connected to its telescopic end, and both ends of the transmission gear shaft are rotatably connected to a transmission chain. One end of the transmission chain is connected to a crossbeam in the middle of the frame, and the transmission chain is connected to a stabilizing crossbar in the middle of the shelf.

[0013] Specifically, a support foot is fixedly connected to one end of the stabilizing crossbar near the frame, and a limit wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the support foot. Side guide rails are provided on the inner side of the frame, and the limit wheel is placed inside the side guide rail.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this novel invention are:

[0015] (1) The electric handcart for transporting beehives described in this invention has a width of wooden or metal plates that is the width between the inner sides of the two main support wheels, compared to the prior art. When loading, the wooden board is positioned precisely between the two main wheels: since the diameter of the auxiliary wheel is smaller than that of the main wheels, this prevents the handcart from tipping over when the auxiliary wheel travels on the wooden board.

[0016] (2) The electric handcart for transporting beehives described in this invention is used when beehives are mostly placed on the ground. When transporting beehives, it is necessary to transport the beehives to the cart. Usually, a wooden board or metal plate is placed at an angle to the ground at the rear of the cart. The auxiliary wheels are in contact with the wooden board, and the motor is controlled to drive the auxiliary wheels to rotate, so that the beehives can be transported to the cart more effortlessly.

[0017] (3) The electric handcart for transporting beehives described in this invention has rotating wheels on both sides that make it easy to rotate the frame from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The rotating wheels support the rotating shaft, and the rotating wheels and the main traveling wheels form a four-wheel support, which can also prevent the overturning phenomenon.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an electric handcart for transporting beehives according to the present invention includes a frame 1, a shelf 3 slidably disposed on one side of the frame 1, and a plurality of insert rods 31 connected to the bottom of the shelf 3 by hinges;

[0026] The bottom of the shelf 3 is connected to multiple sets of insert rods 31 via hinges. The insert rods 31 can rotate 90° to fold, saving space. The two ends of the hinges are welded to the shelf 3 and the insert rods 31 respectively to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0027] The top of the frame 1 is provided with a first handle 13, and the two sides of the middle part of the frame 1 are provided with second handles 14;

[0028] The frame 1 is rotatably equipped with a main travel wheel 2 on the side away from the shelf 3. A support shaft is connected to the middle of the main travel wheel 2, and a motor 22 is connected to one side of the support shaft.

[0029] The support shaft is connected to the frame 1 via a U-shaped buckle 25;

[0030] Both the first handle 13 and the second handle 14 are equipped with switches for controlling the motor 22; rotating the first handle 13 and the second handle 14 controls the motor 22 to work.

[0031] The beehives are supported by the shelf 3, which can support multiple beehives at the same time, improving the efficiency of handling. The motor 22 can be controlled by the first handle 13 and the second handle 14. When the shelf 3 is tilted, the first handle 13 is held to push the trolley. When the shelf 3 is adjusted to a vertical position, the operator can hold the second handle 14 to control it. The first handle 13 and the second handle 14 both have three gears to control the speed of the motor 22, which can facilitate pushing the trolley and control the speed of movement of the trolley.

[0032] Multiple sets of insertion rods 31 can be rotated to a state perpendicular to the shelf 3. By pushing the trolley, the insertion rods 31 can be inserted into the bottom of the beehive, making it easy to move the beehive. When not in use, the insertion rods 31 can be rotated to a state parallel to the shelf 3, saving storage space.

[0033] Specifically, a secondary wheel 21 is provided on the inner side of the main traveling wheel 2. The secondary wheel 21 is fixedly connected to the main traveling wheel 2 by bolts, and the diameter of the secondary wheel is smaller than that of the main traveling wheel.

[0034] During operation, the auxiliary wheel 21 rotates synchronously with the main travel wheel 2. Beehives are mostly placed on the ground. When transporting beehives, they need to be transferred to a vehicle. Usually, a wooden board or metal plate is placed at an angle to the ground at the rear of the vehicle. The auxiliary wheel 21 contacts the wooden board, and the motor 22 drives the auxiliary wheel 21 to rotate, which makes it easier to transport the beehives into the vehicle. During the transportation process, the main travel wheel 2 is just stuck on both sides of the wooden board to ensure stability during transportation and prevent tipping.

[0035] Specifically, a second support wheel 23 is provided on the side of the frame 1 away from the shelf 3, and rotating wheels 24 are installed on both sides of the end of the frame 1 away from the first handle 13.

[0036] The second support wheel 23 provides support when the frame 1 is in a near-horizontal state. The rotating wheels 24 on both sides facilitate the rotation of the frame 1 from a horizontal to a vertical state. The rotating wheels 24 support the pivot axle. At the same time, the rotating wheels 24 and the main travel wheels 2 form a four-wheel support, which can also prevent the vehicle from tipping over.

[0037] Specifically, a pressure pump 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side of the frame 1 away from the shelf 3. A telescopic rod 41 is connected to one side of the pressure pump 4. The pressure pump 4 is used to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 41. A control box 11 is installed on one side of the frame 1. The control box 11 is electrically connected to the pressure pump 4.

[0038] The pressure pump 4 can be controlled by the control box 11. The extension end of the telescopic rod 41 is extended by the pressure pump 4. At this time, the shelf 3 moves up or down as the extension end of the telescopic rod 41 is driven, which is beneficial for the handling of beehives.

[0039] Specifically, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 41 is fixedly connected to a transmission gear shaft 42, and both ends of the transmission gear shaft 42 are rotatably connected to a transmission chain 43. One end of the transmission chain 43 is connected to the crossbeam in the middle of the frame 1, and the transmission chain 43 is connected to the stabilizing crossbar 32 in the middle of the shelf 3.

[0040] When the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 41 extends, it can drive the transmission chain 43 to move through the transmission gear shaft 42. One end of the transmission chain 43 is connected to the stabilizing crossbar 32 in the middle of the shelf 3. The shelf 3 is moved by the pull of the transmission chain 43, thereby adjusting the height of the beehives placed on one side of the shelf 3. This is beneficial for moving the beehives to the preset height. When it is necessary to transport the beehives to the same height as the truck bed, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 41 can be extended to adjust the shelf 3 to the preset height, thereby moving the beehives to the preset height.

[0041] Specifically, the stabilizing crossbar 32 is fixedly connected to a support foot 33 at one end near the frame 1, and a limit wheel 34 is rotatably connected to one side of the support foot 33. Side guide rails 15 are provided on the inner side of the frame 1, and the limit wheel 34 is placed inside the side guide rail 15.

[0042] When the shelf 3 moves along the frame 1, the stabilizing crossbar 32 set in the middle of the shelf 3 moves synchronously. The limiting wheel 34 set on one side of the stabilizing crossbar 32 can move along the side guide rail 15. The stability of the beehive during transportation can be increased by the cooperation between the limiting wheel 34 and the side guide rail 15.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the embodiments and specifications above are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this invention. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
