[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A beehive with a solar panel structure includes a body 1, a weighing sensor 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the body 1, a base 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the weighing sensor 2, a fixed seat 4 fixedly connected to the top of the body 1, a motor 5 fixedly connected inside the fixed seat 4, a turntable 6 fixedly connected to the upper end of the output end of the motor 5, the turntable 6 being rotatably connected to the fixed seat 4, a rotating column 7 fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 6, a hinge seat 10 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 7, a solar panel 11 hinged to the hinge seat 10, a rotating mechanism 8 and an adjusting mechanism 9 provided on the rotating column 7.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The rotating mechanism 8 includes a groove 81. A groove 81 is formed inside the fixed base 4. A ball bearing 82 is movably fitted inside the groove 81. There are multiple grooves 81, which are arranged in a ring shape and are evenly distributed continuously inside the fixed base 4. By designing multiple grooves 81, the ball bearing 82 can roll into different positions within the grooves 81. A connecting block 87 is movably fitted on the outer side of the ball bearing 82, and the connecting block 87 is slidably connected to the fixed base 4. A support block 83 is movably fitted on the outer side of the ball bearing 82, and the support block 83 is connected to the connecting block 87. The sliding connection includes a guide rod 84 slidably sleeved inside the support block 83, which is fixedly connected to the connecting block 87. A spring 85 is provided on the outside of the guide rod 84, with one end of the spring 85 fixedly connected to the support block 83 and the other end of the spring 85 fixedly connected to the connecting block 87. By designing the spring 85, the force of the spring 85 can be applied to the support block 83. A connecting rod 86 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 87, which is fixedly connected to the rotating column 7. By designing the rotating mechanism 8, the position of the solar panel 11 can be easily rotated.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism 9 includes a connecting seat 91, with a screw 92 rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat 91 via a bearing. A handle 93 is fixedly connected to the left end of the screw 92, and a slider 94 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 92. The slider 94 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 91, and a guide block 95 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 94. The guide block 95 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 91. A guide groove 96 is provided inside the connecting seat 91, and the guide block 95 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 96. By designing the guide groove 96, the guide block 95 can slide along the guide groove 96. A hinge rod 97 is hinged to the top of the upper slider 94, and the hinge rod 97 is hinged to the solar panel 11. By designing the adjustment mechanism 9, the angle of use of the solar panel 11 can be easily adjusted.
[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the solar panel 11 can provide power to the beehive. When the position of the solar panel 11 needs to be adjusted, the motor 5 is started. The output of the motor 5 drives the turntable 6, the rotating column 7, and the solar panel 11 to rotate, which facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the position of the solar panel 11 and allows it to receive sunlight better. When the rotating column 7 rotates, it also drives the connecting rod 86 and the connecting block 87 to rotate. The connecting block 87 drives the ball bearing 82 to roll along the fixed seat 4. The ball bearing 82 rolls along the arc surface of the groove 81. The ball bearing 82 is squeezed and pushed to move horizontally. The ball bearing 82 drives the support block 83 to slide along the guide rod 84 and squeeze the spring 85, which can separate the ball bearing 82 from the groove 81. After the solar panel 11 has rotated, the elasticity of the spring 85 will give the support block 83 a counter-push force, which can push the ball bearing 82 into the groove 81 in another position. At this time, the connecting block 87 can be limited, which can limit the rotation of the solar panel 11 and prevent the solar panel 11 from rotating randomly due to wind.
[0025] When the angle of the solar panel 11 needs to be adjusted, turn the handle 93. The handle 93 drives the screw 92 to rotate, causing the slider 94 to make a threaded motion. The slider 94 drives the guide block 95 to slide along the guide groove 96. At the same time, the movement of the slider 94 will cause the hinge rod 97 to deflect. The hinge rod 97 pushes the solar panel 11 to deflect along the hinge seat 10, so as to conveniently and flexibly adjust the use angle of the solar panel 11.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
