[0036] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 9 The present invention will now describe a beekeeping box. The beekeeping box includes a box body 1, a honeycomb frame 2, and a cover 3. The top of the box body 1 has an opening. One side of the box body 1 has an entrance / exit 11 for bees to enter and exit, and the top of the box body 1 has a groove 12. The honeycomb frame 2 spans the box body 1, and the top of the honeycomb frame 2 has a baffle 21 that can overlap the groove 12. There is a gap between the side wall of the honeycomb frame 2 and the inner side wall of the box body 1, and there is also a gap between the bottom wall of the honeycomb frame 2 and the bottom of the box body 1. The cover 3 covers the top of the box body 1. The bottom of the box body 1 has a bottom plate 4, and the side of the box body 1 has a cleaning opening 13 for the bottom plate 4 to slide out. The cleaning opening 13 and the entrance / exit 11 are located on the two side walls of the box body 1, respectively. A baffle 41 is fixedly provided on the bottom plate 4 at the position of the cleaning opening 13, and the baffle 41 can close the cleaning opening 13. The thickness of the bottom plate 4 is less than the thickness of the baffle 41, and a food storage trough is formed between the top of the bottom plate 4 and the top of the baffle 41.

[0038] The beekeeping box provided by this utility model, compared with the prior art, allows the bottom plate 4 of the box 1 to be pulled out of the box 1 when cleaning is required, making it convenient for operators to clean the debris on the bottom plate 4 without moving the box 1, thus reducing labor intensity compared with the operation method in the prior art; by setting a baffle 41 at the cleaning opening 13, the baffle 41 can close the cleaning opening 13 and prevent bees from entering or leaving the box 1 through the cleaning opening 13; since the thickness of the bottom plate 4 is less than the thickness of the baffle 41, a storage trough is formed between the top of the bottom plate 4 and the top of the baffle 41, and dead bees and bee feces fall on the bottom plate 4. When the baffle 41 is pulled outward, the situation of the top wall of the cleaning opening 13 scraping the debris on the bottom plate 4 can be reduced, thus making it easier to pull all the debris on the bottom plate 4 out of the box 1.

[0039] It should be noted that there are multiple hive frames 2 inside the box 1. In this embodiment, one hive frame 2 is used as an example for illustration. A limiting frame 31 is connected inside the cover 3. The limiting frame 31 contacts the top of the box 1 so that a ventilation space is formed between the top of the cover 3 and the top of the box 1. Ventilation openings 32 are provided on opposite sides of the cover 3, and a filter screen 33 is connected to the ventilation openings 32. Through the above settings, ventilation inside the box 1 can be guaranteed, while preventing bees from entering or leaving the box 1 through the ventilation openings 32 of the cover 3.

[0040] For example, the limiting frame 31 abuts against the top of the stop bar 21, which enables the hive frame 2 to be placed stably inside the box 1; since there are gaps between the sides and bottom of the hive frame 2 and the box 1, bees can pass through the gaps, enabling bees to travel back and forth between different hive frames 2.

[0041] For example, one end of the entrance / exit 11 is provided with a clearance groove 14, and a sealing plate 15 is slidably provided in the clearance groove 14. The sealing plate 15 can close part of the entrance / exit 11. By adjusting the position of the sealing plate 15, the size of the entrance / exit 11 can be changed, so that the operator can choose to enlarge or shrink the entrance / exit 11 according to the actual situation of the bee colony. An operating rod 16 is fixedly provided on the sealing plate 15, and the housing 1 has a slot 17 for inserting and cooperating with the operating rod 16. When the operating rod 16 is located in the slot 17, the sealing plate 15 is completely located in the clearance groove 14, and the entrance / exit 11 is in its maximum position.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the housing 1 has a receiving box 5 on the side wall of the cleaning port 13. The bottom of the receiving box 5 has a scraper 51 and a suction port 52. The receiving box 5 is connected to the suction power component through a pipe. When the bottom plate 4 is pulled out of the housing 1, the receiving box 5 can be fixed on the housing 1, and the scraper 51 can contact the top of the bottom plate 4.

[0043] It should be noted that the suction power component includes a housing and a blower. One side of the housing is connected to the receiving box 5 via a hose. A filter bag is installed on the inside of the housing at the location of the hose. The filter bag is connected to the housing via a flange. The filter bag is breathable, and the sucked-in debris will remain inside the filter bag. The top of the housing has an opening, and a cover plate is bolted to the top of the housing. After the filter bag is full of debris, the cover plate is opened to facilitate the removal of the filter bag and replacement with a new filter bag. The housing has a through hole that connects to the air inlet of the fan, and the air outlet of the fan connects to the outside. After the fan is started, the airflow provided by the fan flows from inside the housing to outside the housing. Therefore, when the baffle 41 is pulled, the scraper 51 scrapes off the debris on the bottom plate 4. The debris is sucked into the collection box 5 under the action of the airflow, and then enters the filter bag through the pipe. With the above-mentioned settings of this application, the debris on the bottom plate 4 can be removed by pulling the bottom plate 4 outward, which is convenient and quick. After cleaning, the bottom plate 4 can be inserted back into the housing 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the housing 1 has a first pin hole 18 and a second pin hole 19 on the outer wall of the cleaning port 13, and the first pin hole 18 and the second pin hole 19 are arranged along the height direction; the receiving box 5 has a through hole that can be aligned with the first pin hole 18 or the second pin hole 19, and the receiving box 5 is engaged with the first pin hole 18 by a pin shaft 53, or engaged with the second pin hole 19 by a pin shaft 53; wherein, when the pin shaft 53 is engaged with the first pin hole 18, the scraper 51 contacts the top of the bottom plate 4; when the pin shaft 53 is engaged with the second pin hole 19, the receiving box 5 is separated from the bottom plate 4.

[0045] It should be noted that when the bottom plate 4 does not need to be cleaned, the bottom of the receiving box 5 is higher than the top of the baffle 41, and the pin 53 is engaged with the second pin hole 19. When the bottom plate 4 needs to be cleaned, the baffle 41 is first pulled outward a certain distance, and then the receiving box 5 is slid down to the position where the scraper 51 contacts the bottom plate 4. At this time, the receiving box 5 can be fixed in this position by the engagement of the pin 53 with the first pin hole 18. By pulling the bottom plate 4 outward, the scraper 51 can scrape off the debris on the bottom plate 4, and the debris is sucked away by the airflow, making the cleaning process convenient and quick. For the dead corners on the bottom plate 4, the operator can clean them with other tools.

[0046] For example, in order to ensure the stability of the receiving box 5, the number of pins 53 can be two or more.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the bottom of the receiving box 5 has an inclined surface 54 at the position of the scraper 51, and the inclined surface 54 faces the top of the base plate 4; the suction port 52 is located on the inclined surface 54.

[0048] It should be noted that by setting the suction port 52 on the inclined surface 54, the suction port 52 can be inclined towards the bottom plate 4, increasing the suction space, which makes it easier to suck the debris scraped off by the scraper 51 into the collection box 5, and then suck the scraped debris into the filter bag.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the box 1 has a sliding groove 110 on the outer side wall of the cleaning port 13, which is arranged along the height direction. The opening width of the sliding groove 110 is smaller than the bottom width of the sliding groove 110. The outer side wall of the receiving box 5 is connected to a sliding component 55 that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 110.

[0050] It should be noted that by setting a slide groove 110 on the box body 1, the receiving box 5 can slide and cooperate with the slide groove 110 through the sliding component 55, which can limit the relative position between the receiving box 5 and the box body 1, so that the receiving box 5 can only slide along the height direction; when the pin shaft 53 is inserted and cooperated with the first pin hole 18, the receiving box 5 can be stably positioned in the scraping position.

[0051] For example, the sliding component 55 can be a wedge-shaped slider or a T-shaped slider; correspondingly, the groove 110 can be a wedge-shaped groove or a T-shaped groove.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
