[0002] In the current booming development of the beekeeping industry, beehives create a stable and suitable living environment for bees, allowing bee colonies to live together and be protected from the direct impact of harsh weather such as strong winds, heavy rain, and low temperatures. As a key piece of equipment in beekeeping, the design of the entrance device of the beehive is of paramount importance.

[0003] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: Firstly, the daily maintenance and cleaning of beehives are frequent, such as replacing combs and removing debris. The old method of fixing the entrance makes disassembly and assembly of the frames extremely inconvenient, mostly relying on bolts, requiring additional tools to repeatedly tighten and disassemble the bolts, consuming a lot of manpower and time, and seriously affecting beekeeping efficiency. Secondly, bees are easily affected by external environmental disturbances or their own phototaxis, often resulting in escape, leading to a decrease in the number of bees and damage to honey production. Therefore, a beehive entrance device to prevent bees from escaping is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a beehive entrance device to prevent bees from escaping, comprising an entrance / exit frame 1, a fixing block 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the entrance / exit frame 1, the fixing block 2 mainly connecting and supporting the entire insertion block 3, the outer wall of the fixing block 2 fixedly connected to the insertion block 3, the inner wall of the insertion block 3 being provided with a limit mechanism, and an installation foot 7 inserted into the outer wall of the insertion block 3. The installation foot 7 can be installed on the beehive by bolts, facilitating the subsequent quick installation of the entire entrance / exit frame 1 by the cooperation of the installation foot 7 and the insertion block 3 with the wedge block 4. The inner wall of the installation foot 7 has an opening... The slot 8 is the same size as the wedge 4, allowing the wedge 4 to be inserted into the slot 8, thus satisfying the one-way limiting of the entire insert 3. The inner wall of the inlet / outlet frame 1 is provided with a blocking component. The limiting mechanism includes the wedge 4, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insert 3. The insert 3 has a corresponding slot for the wedge 4, which allows the wedge 4 to move vertically along the inner wall of the insert 3. The bottom end of the wedge 4 is elastically connected to the insert 3 through a return spring 5. The outer wall of the wedge 4 is fixedly connected with a lever 6, which can move the insert 3 vertically through the lever 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 5The shielding assembly includes a connecting frame 9, which primarily supports and connects the round tube 10 and the baffle 11. The connecting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inlet / outlet frame 1. The round tube 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the connecting frame 9, and the baffle 11 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the round tube 10. The baffle 11 is made of a lightweight plastic material. When bees enter the beehive, they can flip over by contacting the baffle 11. The outer wall of the baffle 11 contacts the inner wall of the inlet / outlet frame 1. Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 11 can only be rotated counterclockwise because it is blocked by the inlet / outlet frame 1. If it is rotated clockwise, it will be blocked by the inlet / outlet frame 1. There are multiple sets of baffles 11, which are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the round tube 10. The baffle 11 has a small gap, which is too small for bees to pass through and prevents bees from entering or exiting through the gap.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The bottom end of the wedge 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 5. When the wedge 4 moves downward, it will compress the return spring 5. When resetting, the elastic force of the return spring 5 will carry the wedge 4 to reset. The other end of the return spring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the insert block 3. The push block 6 passes through and slides on the inner walls of the fixed block 2 and the insert block 3 respectively. The fixed block 2 and the insert block 3 are provided with slots corresponding to the push block 6, which can satisfy the push block 6 to move along the slot. The wedge 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the slot 8. The outer wall of the fixed block 2 is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting foot 7.

[0035] Working principle: First, when it is necessary to quickly disassemble and install the inlet / outlet frame 1 from the beehive, simply move the lever 6 downwards to move the wedge 4 downwards and compress the return spring 5, so that the wedge 4 separates from the groove of the slot 8 and is retracted into the inner wall of the insert 3. Then, move the insert 3 out from the inner wall of the mounting foot 7. Finally, release the lever 6 and use the reverse elastic force of the return spring 5 to reset the wedge 4. When it is necessary to install, simply insert the insert 3 into the mounting foot 7, so that the outer wall of the mounting foot 7 presses against the inclined surface of the wedge 4, so that the wedge 4 moves downwards and compresses the return spring 5. When the wedge 4 and the groove of the slot 8 are aligned, use the reverse elastic force of the return spring 5 to reset the wedge 4 and the lever 6, so that the wedge 4 is inserted into the groove of the inner wall of the slot 8 to complete the quick disassembly and assembly of the entire inlet / outlet frame 1.

[0036] During use, bees enter the hive from the left end of the inlet / outlet frame 1 and press against the baffle 11, causing it to flip. Once flipped, the gap between the baffles allows bees to enter the hive from the inlet / outlet frame 1. When the baffles are not in contact with bees, they rotate clockwise to... Figure 4 The goal is to prevent bees from flying out through the baffle 11 from the right end of the entry / exit frame 1.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
