Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to mechanized production equipment for beekeeping, and more particularly to a larvae transfer machine for transferring larvae from the brood comb to the basal cell base. Background Technology

[0002] Royal jelly is a secretion from the pharyngeal glands of young worker bees that nurture larvae in the hive. It serves as food for larvae that will become queen bees and is an important bee product with extremely high nutritional value.

[0003] In the production of royal jelly, there are several larval transfer processes, including transferring bee larvae from the brood comb's egg-laying holes to the holes in the cell base strip, and then transferring the larvae from the holes in the cell base strip to the cell base strip before digging out the royal jelly.

[0004] The two are completely different in both weight and volume. The bee larvae removed from the brood comb's oviposition holes are extremely small, only 2 or 3 millimeters long, and very thin, resembling insect eggs, and covered in sap. In the past, mechanized equipment for transferring larvae from the brood comb's oviposition holes to the holes in the base strips used clamping or blowing methods. Although this is a significant improvement over manual transfer, the equipment is still complex, requiring a one-to-one alignment of the transfer head with the oviposition hole, and involves many movements. Furthermore, the former method may injure the larvae, while the latter method makes directional control of the transferred larvae more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a worm transfer machine that transfers worms from the broodstock to the basal strip, without having to match the worm transfer head with the oviposition hole one-to-one. The equipment is simple and the worm transfer efficiency is high.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A larvae transfer machine for transferring larvae from broodstock to base strips is characterized by comprising a rotating assembly and its rotation drive motor. The rotating assembly has a mounting position for the broodstock and base strip assembly fixing structure at a position offset from its rotation axis. The rotating assembly has one mounting position or multiple mounting positions arranged along the rotation direction. The mounting position can accommodate the broodstock and several base strips arranged together and adapted to the area of ​​the broodstock for face-to-face assembly and fixing, so that when the rotating assembly rotates, centrifugal force can be used to transfer larvae from the broodstock to the base strips. A shielding structure is provided on the outside of the mounting position.

[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model may also employ the following further technical solutions or a combination of these further technical solutions:

[0009] The rotation axis of the rotating component is set vertically.

[0010] The rotating assembly includes a rotating frame, and the rotating frame is provided with a placement and positioning box for placing the sub-splendid base strip assembly fixing structure at the setting position. The placement and positioning box is provided with an inlet for placing the sub-splendid base strip assembly fixing structure.

[0011] The insect transfer machine is equipped with a base, and a bearing seat for a rotating shaft bearing is provided on the base.

[0012] The insect transfer machine is equipped with a cylinder, and the rotating component is located inside the cylinder.

[0013] The opening of the cylinder is provided with a cover and a locking structure for the cover.

[0014] The lock structure includes a bolt, a bolt drive motor, a lock ring that cooperates with the bolt, and a sensor switch. The bolt drive motor and the rotary drive motor are connected to a controller. The sensor switch senses the closing of the cover. Only when the cover is closed can the controller activate the bolt drive motor to make the bolt enter the lock ring.

[0015] After the latch is locked, the unlocking operation of the latch drive motor is only activated by the controller based on a signal indicating that the rotary drive motor has stopped working.

[0016] The cover includes a movable cover and a fixed cover. The movable cover is equipped with the locking structure. The fixed cover is larger than the movable cover and is fixedly connected to the cylinder. The fixed cover is provided with a bearing seat for the rotating shaft bearing.

[0017] The controller is a detachable device with a connector plug. The insect transfer device is equipped with a socket that connects to the connector plug. The socket is connected to the inductive switch, the rotary drive motor, and the latch drive motor.

[0018] Because of the technical solution of this utility model, the larvae transfer machine provided by this utility model for transferring larvae from the broodstock to the base strip can transfer the larvae from each oviposition hole on the broodstock to the base strip in one go through centrifugal motion, which is highly efficient and has a simple equipment structure; furthermore, it is also highly safe.

[0025] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides a worm transfer machine for transferring worms from broodstock to base strips. It includes a rotating assembly and a rotating drive motor 1. The rotating drive motor 1 is a servo motor. The rotating drive motor drives the rotating shaft 20 of the rotating assembly to rotate via a transmission mechanism (such as a synchronous belt 11). The rotating assembly has a mounting position for the broodstock and base strip combination fixing structure at a position offset from its rotating shaft 20. The fixing structure can be a frame 3, capable of fixing the broodstock and base strips. The rotating assembly has one mounting position or multiple mounting positions arranged along the rotation direction. In this embodiment, three mounting positions are provided. The number of mounting positions can be adjusted as needed. The mounting positions can accommodate the broodstock 101 and several base strips 102 arranged together and adapted to the broodstock area for face-to-face combination and fixing. When the rotating assembly rotates, centrifugal force can be used to transfer worms from the broodstock 101 to the base strips 102. In the accompanying drawings, the frame 3 has already installed the broodstock 101 arranged face-to-face and several base strips 102 arranged together and adapted to the broodstock area. A shielding structure is provided on the outside of the setting position (that is, at least on the side away from the rotation center).

[0026] The rotating shaft 20 of the rotating component is vertically arranged. The insect transfer machine is provided with a base 4, and a bearing seat 41 for the rotating shaft bearing 201 is also provided on the base 4. The bottom of the base 4 is provided with support legs 42.

[0027] The rotating assembly includes a rotating frame 2, and a placement positioning box 21 for placing the sub-splendid base strip assembly fixing structure is provided at the setting position. The placement positioning box 21 is provided with an inlet 22 for placing the sub-splendid base strip assembly fixing structure. The size of the placement positioning box 21 is just larger than the sub-splendid base strip assembly fixing structure to accommodate it while preventing excessive shaking. The placement positioning box 21 can also serve as a shielding structure.

[0028] The insect transfer machine is provided with a cylinder 5, which includes a rotating component to prevent the positioning box 21 from being located inside the cylinder 5. The cylinder can also serve as the shielding structure.

[0029] The opening of the cylinder 5 is provided with a cover and a locking structure for the cover. The cover includes a movable cover 61 and a fixed cover 62. The movable cover 62 is equipped with the locking structure. The fixed cover 62 is larger than the movable cover 61. The fixed cover 62 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 5. The fixed cover 65 is provided with a bearing seat for the rotating shaft 20 bearing 202.

[0030] The lock structure includes a latch 71, a latch drive motor 72, a locking ring 73 that cooperates with the latch 71, and a sensor switch 74. The latch drive motor 72 and the rotary drive motor 1 are connected to a controller 8. The sensor switch 74 senses the closing of the cover (movable cover 61). Only when the cover is closed can the controller 8 activate the latch drive motor 72, causing the latch 71 to insert into the locking ring 73. The sensor switch 74 can be a pressure switch. The latch 71 can be connected to the latch drive motor 72 via a screw and nut connection structure. For example, the latch 71 is connected to a nut, and the latch drive motor 72 drives the screw to rotate forward and backward, causing the nut to move forward and backward. Furthermore, after the latch 71 is locked, the unlocking operation of the latch drive motor 72 is only activated by the controller 8 based on a signal indicating that the rotary drive motor 1 has stopped working. Thus, the latch drive motor 72 and the rotary drive motor 1 can act as mutual safety devices to prevent accidental unlocking, improving security and facilitating automatic control. The control operation mode of this utility model is further described below:

[0031] 1) The sensor switch provides a signal to close the lid when it is pressed.

[0032] 2) The controller receives a cover-closed signal;

[0033] 3) The controller sends a signal to the bolt drive motor to start it to the locked position;

[0034] 4) The latch drive motor receives the start-to-lock position signal and begins to work;

[0035] 5) The latch drive motor provides a locking position completion signal;

[0036] 6) The controller receives the locking position completion signal;

[0037] 7) The controller sends a start signal to the rotary drive motor;

[0038] 8) The rotary drive motor starts working upon receiving the start signal;

[0039] 9) The rotary drive motor provides a work completion signal;

[0040] 10) The controller receives a signal indicating that the rotary drive motor has completed its operation;

[0041] 11) The controller sends a signal to the latch drive motor to start and move to the unlock position;

[0042] 12) The latch drive motor starts working after receiving the latch drive motor start-up to unlock position signal.

[0043] The controller 8 is a detachable device. The controller 8 is connected to a plug 81, which can be an aviation plug. The larvae transfer device (such as the base 4) is equipped with a socket 82 that connects to the plug 81. The socket 82 is connected to the inductive switch 74, the rotary drive motor 1, and the locking tongue drive motor 72. This method is well-suited to the characteristics of transferring larvae from the splendid to the substrate strip. When not in use, the larvae transfer machine can be placed in the factory, while the controller 8 can be removed and properly stored.
