Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pollen removal equipment, and in particular a pollen removal box for collecting bee pollen. Background Technology

[0002] Bee pollen refers to pollen clumps brought back by bees when collecting nectar, which are then stored and fermented in the hive. Bee pollen originates from nature; it is formed by bees collecting pollen grains from the stamens of fresh flowers (nectar-producing plants and pollen-producing plants) and mixing them with special glandular secretions (nectar and saliva) to create an irregularly shaped, flattened, round substance. Existing pollen removal devices achieve pollen removal by installing pollen removers at the inlet and outlet. While this achieves the desired effect, the mesh size of the pollen remover's iron ring is fixed, allowing only bees of a specific size to pass through, thus limiting the device's usability.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN217608977U), which discloses a pollen-removing box for bee pollen collection. The box includes a main body with a circular groove on one side wall. A bearing is housed inside the groove, and a rocker arm is located inside the bearing. A fixing ring is attached to the outer wall of the rocker arm near one end of the main body. Ropes are attached to the outer walls of the two ends of the fixing ring that are far apart from each other. A pollen remover is located below the side wall of the rocker arm on the main body. Fixing ears are located on both sides of the top of the pollen remover that are far apart from each other. Fixing blocks are located at both ends of the bottom of the main body near one side of the pollen remover that are far apart from each other. Support strips are located at both ends of the bottom of the main body that are far apart from each other. I-shaped grooves are formed at the bottom of both support strips. While this patent achieves pollen removal, the mesh size of the pollen remover's iron ring is fixed, allowing only bees of a specific size to pass through, thus limiting the device's applicability.

Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail. The scale of the attached drawings is for reference only and can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the actual use.

[0027] Working principle

[0028] In use, the pollen collection box for bees is operated by starting the stepper motor 16, which moves the moving block 15 around the screw 14. The movement of the moving block 15 causes the collection box 6 on the side of the adjusting plate 12 to move out of the box body 1, thus releasing the seal of the sealing plate 5 from the inlet and outlet. After the bees finish collecting pollen, they enter the box body 1 through the mesh of the iron ring 10, and the bee pollen falls into the collection box 6. When the iron ring 10 needs to be replaced, the drive motor 4 is started to rotate the drive shaft 7. The rotation of the drive shaft 7 can rotate the iron rings 10 on the sides of the two mounting frames 9, so that the two iron rings 10 can be used in different positions.
