TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model discloses a multifunctional beehive nest door belongs to the honeybee breeding technical field. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing commonly used beehive nest door shapes are divided into three kinds of rectangular combined type, circular double-layer combined type and single circular sheet type. The three structures can all respectively realize the various requirements of normal access area, anti-escape area, ventilation area and closing area, but the anti-escape and anti-powder loss of the rectangular combined type nest door are not integrated, and the normal access area structure design is unreasonable; the circular double-layer nest door needs to be embedded in a larger hole on the beehive, which is easy to fall off after long time operation, and the double-layer design will affect the airtightness and heat preservation of the beehive; the new generation of circular single sheet nest door is simple to use, but the sequence of various functional areas is unreasonable, the adjacent working areas will affect each other when the nest door opening space is small, and the situation of opening two working areas at the same time will appear, which is not conducive to the management of bee farmers, the existing design of the anti-escape area is easy to lose powder, the bees are crowded when entering and leaving during the honey flow peak period, which affects the yield, the normal access area structure is single, and cannot prevent wasps, tiger bees, mice, sugar moths and geckos and other natural enemies. The above existing schemes cannot provide a most convenient and perfect beehive nest door, and will cause the loss of the bee colony and greatly affect the honey yield. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] The utility model aims at solving the problems of the prior art, and provides a multifunctional beehive nest door. In order to overcome the problems in the background art, the utility model multifunctional beehive nest door main part is in the form of a 3.5mm thick circular cake, and is divided into front and back surfaces. The two surfaces are all divided into A, B, C and D four different functional areas by two vertical intersecting reinforcing ribs, and are respectively normal access area, anti-escape and anti-powder loss area, ventilation area and closing area. The front surface of the nest door is arranged in the clockwise direction according to the A, D, B and C four areas, and a screw hole is reserved at the center point of the reinforcing rib intersection, the edges of the front and back surfaces are all designed with a raised frame, and the front surface is provided with a rotating handle and a landing platform. The nest door requires a small opening on the beehive and is sealed, the bee farmer fixes the nest door in the hole at the bottom of the beehive through the screw fixing hole, and rotates the nest door rotating handle according to different seasons and conditions, so that the problem of the internal temperature reduction of the beehive in the spring breeding and overwintering period is avoided, and the breeding requirements of the bees in different periods are met.
[0004] In order to overcome and solve the problems in the background art, the utility model realizes the following technical scheme:
[0005] A multifunctional beehive entrance, characterized in that: the main body of the multifunctional beehive entrance is disc-shaped, divided into front and back sides. Both sides are divided into four functional areas by two perpendicularly intersecting reinforcing ribs 7, with screw holes 10 pre-drilled at the intersection of the reinforcing ribs. The main body of the multifunctional beehive entrance is disc-shaped, divided into front and back sides. Both sides are divided into four different functional areas (A, B, C, and D) by two perpendicularly intersecting reinforcing ribs. Screw holes are pre-drilled at the intersection of the cross-shaped reinforcing ribs. Both sides have raised borders along their edges, and a rotating handle and lifting platform are provided on the front side.
[0006] Preferably, screw fixing holes are reserved at the intersection of the two cross-shaped reinforcing ribs of the multifunctional beehive entrance.
[0007] Preferably, the A section of the multifunctional beehive entrance is: entirely hollow, with a small hollow ring in the center of a circular frame, divided into different sized areas by three beams, a landing platform, and anti-slip lines; the B section has three arched holes resembling "∩" in the upper part and a... The shape is designed with a landing platform at the bottom and anti-slip lines; Section C: features a circular openwork window; Section D: is a solid circle with a rotating handle.
[0008] Preferably, the four sections A, D, B, and C on the front of the multifunctional beehive entrance are arranged clockwise.
[0009] Preferably, the edges of the front and back sides of the multifunctional beehive entrance are designed with raised frame edges and sealing strips, respectively.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] This utility model's hive entrance features a rationally designed layout with four zones: a normal entry / exit zone (A), an escape and pollen-loss prevention zone (B), a ventilation zone (C), and a closing zone (D). Zone A is equipped with a lifting platform and anti-slip lines, effectively protecting against predators such as wasps, hornets, rats, sugar moths, and geckos. Zone B addresses the issues of bee colony escape during swarming and worker bees struggling to return to the hive after collecting pollen, as well as pollen loss, by incorporating a lifting platform and anti-slip lines. In hot weather or when bees are migrating, the entrance can be rotated to Zone C for ventilation. To completely close the hive entrance, it can be switched to Zone D. The scientifically arranged functional zones allow for pairing adjacent zones. When two functional zones are aligned with the hive opening, multiple hive entrance combinations can be achieved in special scenarios. Raised edges on the hive entrance frame and each functional zone ensure a tight seal between the entrance and the hive, reducing friction during rotation. The cross-shaped reinforcing ribs also serve as a reference point when rotating the entrance. Attached Figure Description
