Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent beehive technology, specifically to an IoT-based intelligent beehive temperature and humidity acquisition and control device. Background Technology
[0002] A beehive is the place where bees live and reproduce during beekeeping, and it is the most basic beekeeping tool. The temperature and humidity inside the beehive are regulated by the material and structure of the beehive, the strength of the bee colony, and their own regulatory ability. In the process of beekeeping, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature and humidity inside the beehive are suitable for the bees to survive and reproduce normally.
[0003] Currently, most beekeepers use single-layer wooden beehives. During seasonal transitions, it is often difficult to monitor the humidity and temperature inside the beehive in real time, which affects the bees' living environment and reduces their honey production. Furthermore, when the beehive is hot and the lid is opened to dissipate heat, the method relies on human experience and cannot achieve accurate temperature control. It also requires a lot of manpower to open the beehive for heat dissipation.
[0004] A smart beehive capable of monitoring temperature and humidity, disclosed in Chinese utility model patent application CN202122124003.4, includes a base and a beehive body. The beehive body has a lid at its top, with a beehive opening on one side of the lid for bees to enter and exit. Ventilation holes are located on the side of the base near the beehive opening. While this smart beehive allows for temperature and humidity monitoring and adjustment of the internal temperature, it suffers from drawbacks. The beehive is largely integrated, requiring replacement of the entire hive in case of malfunction, and the device necessitates frequent opening and inspection to monitor the bees' honey production.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a smart beehive temperature and humidity acquisition and control device based on the Internet of Things, including a box body 1, with support pillars 2 fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the box body 1, a beehive body 3 inside the box body 1, and beehive inlets 4 on the outer sides of the box body 1 and the beehive body 3, a canopy 8 fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 7, sealing shells 10 fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the sliding cover 5, a fixed shell 11 fixedly connected inside the sealing shell 10, a fan 12 fixedly connected inside the fixed shell 11, four movable plates 13 slidably connected to the top of the sliding cover 5, a temperature and humidity sensor 22 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding cover 5, a control terminal 23 fixedly connected to the top of the sliding cover 5, a ventilation mesh 14 fixedly connected inside the movable plates 13, a heating wire 15 fixedly connected to the top of the ventilation mesh 14, two support plates 16 fixedly connected to the top of the sliding cover 5, a bidirectional screw 17 rotatably connected between the two support plates 16, and a sealing thread adapted to the sealing shell 10 threaded to the outer sides of both ends of the bidirectional screw 17. The device consists of a plate 19, two sealing plates 19, and four movable plates 13, respectively. A motor 18 is fixedly connected to the side of one of the support plates 16. The output shaft of the motor 18 passes through the support plate 16 and is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 17. A first filter screen 20 is fixedly connected inside the sealing shell 10, and a second filter screen 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed shell 11. Through the arrangement of the sealing shell 10, fixed shell 11, fan 12, movable plates 13, ventilation net 14, heating wire 15, bidirectional lead screw 17, motor 18, sealing plates 19, temperature and humidity sensor 22, and control terminal 23, the device allows beekeepers to remotely know the temperature and humidity inside the beehive and control the temperature inside the beehive without having to move the beehive to its location. This effectively solves the problem that beekeepers cannot effectively monitor the humidity and temperature inside the beehive in real time, which affects the living environment of the bees, reduces the honey production of the bees, and makes it impossible to accurately control the temperature of the beehive, requiring a lot of manpower to open the beehive for heat dissipation.
[0030] During operation, temperature and humidity sensor 22 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the hive 1 and transmits the data to control terminal 23. The beekeeper can then remotely access this data via the Internet of Things (IoT) to determine the internal temperature and humidity of hive 1. If the internal temperature of hive 1 becomes too high, the beekeeper remotely activates fan 12 to circulate air between hive 1 and the outside air, thus cooling the hive. If the internal temperature of hive 1 becomes too low, motor 18 is activated to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 17. After the movement, the two sealing plates 19 move, thereby moving the four moving plates 13. Then the sealing plates 19 seal the sealing shell 10. The moving plates 13 drive the heating wire 15 to the bottom of the fan 12. Then the heating wire 15 heats up, and the fan 12 blows the heated air into the interior of the hive 1, thereby raising the temperature of the hive 1. This effectively solves the problem that beekeepers cannot monitor the humidity and temperature inside the hive in real time, which affects the living environment of the bees, reduces the honey production of the bees, and makes it impossible to accurately control the temperature of the hive, requiring a lot of manpower to open the hive for heat dissipation.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a temperature and humidity acquisition and control device for an intelligent beehive based on the Internet of Things. A sliding cover 5 is slidably connected to the top of the beehive body 1, and a shell 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding cover 5. Threaded holes are provided at both ends of the sliding cover 5 and at both ends of the top of the beehive body 1, and limit bolts 6 are threadedly connected to them. Pressure sensors 9 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom inner wall of the beehive body 1. The beehive body 3 is located at the top of the detection end of the pressure sensor 9. Through the arrangement of the beehive body 1, beehive body 3, sliding cover 5, limit bolts 6, and pressure sensors 9, the beehive body 3 can be quickly and easily replaced after the device has been used for a long time and if problems arise. The internal electronic components can also be replaced or repaired. Furthermore, the device allows for timely monitoring of honey production within the beehive, effectively solving the problem that the beehive is relatively integrated, requiring replacement of the entire beehive after a malfunction, and that the device requires frequent opening of the hive to check the bee colony and promptly assess honey production.
[0033] During use, the beehive body 3 is located inside the hive body 1 and presses against the pressure sensor 9, thereby allowing the pressure sensor 9 to monitor the weight of the beehive body 3. As the amount of honey inside the beehive body 3 increases, the value monitored by the pressure sensor 9 changes, allowing beekeepers to remotely know the changes in the honey inside the beehive body 3 and thus harvest honey in a timely manner. When the device has been used for a long time and is damaged, the limit bolt 6 is rotated to disengage the limit bolt 6 from the sliding cover 5 and the hive body 1. Then, the sliding cover 5 is slid off, and the outer shell 7 can be disassembled to repair or replace the internal electronic components. After that, the beehive body 3 can be taken out and replaced. This effectively solves the problem that the beehive is relatively integrated, and the entire beehive needs to be replaced when the beehive malfunctions. It also solves the problem that the device requires frequent opening of the hive to check the bee colony in order to keep track of the bees' honey production.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
