The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0019] The embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the water feeder for beekeeping according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the conveying component of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first boss 110 and the second boss 111 of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the shaft 108 and control handle 109 of this utility model.
[0021] This utility model discloses a water feeder for beekeeping, comprising a base 101, a rotating seat 102, a mesh tray 103, a mounting arm 104, a scraper 105, a water storage tank 106, a control valve 107, a shaft 108, a control handle 109, a first protrusion 110, a second protrusion 111, and a lifting rod 112. It solves the problem that existing technologies are inconvenient for cleaning water troughs due to the easy growth of bacteria, requiring regular cleaning to ensure the health of bees' drinking water. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can also be used to improve convenience.
[0022] In this embodiment, the chassis 101 is composed of two circular discs, one large and one small, which are installed on the chassis 101 by the water feeding component. This solves the problem that the water trough is prone to bacterial growth and needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the bees' drinking water health. However, the existing technology is not convenient for cleaning the water trough and is inconvenient to use.
[0023] The rotating seat 102 is rotatably connected to the chassis 101 and located inside the chassis 101. The mesh tray 103 is detachably connected to the chassis 101 and located on the side of the chassis 101 near the rotating seat 102. The mounting arm 104 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 102 and located on the periphery of the rotating seat 102. The scraper 105 is fixedly mounted on the mounting arm 104 and contacts the inner wall of the chassis 101. The conveying component is mounted on the chassis 101. The rotating seat 102 is mounted at the center of the large tray of the chassis 101 and can rotate freely. The mesh tray 103 has a circular mesh structure with a central mounting hole, is mounted on the top of the large tray of the chassis 101, and is fitted onto the outside of the rotating seat 102 for easy disassembly. The mounting arm 104 is L-shaped and is mounted on the rotating seat 102. Two scrapers 105 are symmetrically arranged on the outer periphery of the base of the seat 102 to support the scraper blades 105. The scraper blades 105 are made of rubber and are fixedly installed on the mounting arm 104. The scraper blades 105 are in contact with the inner wall and bottom of the large plate of the chassis 101. By rotating the rotating seat 102, the scraper blades 105 can clean the inside of the large plate of the chassis 101. A drain valve is provided at the bottom of the large plate of the chassis 101 to drain sewage. The conveying component is installed on the small plate of the chassis 101 to deliver water to the large plate. By rotating the rotating seat 102, the scraper blades 105 can be rotated, thereby cleaning the chassis 101. This solves the problem that the drinking trough is prone to bacterial growth and needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the drinking water health of bees. However, the existing technology is inconvenient to clean the drinking trough and is not easy to use.
[0024] Secondly, the water storage tank 106 is detachably connected to the chassis 101 and is located on the side of the chassis 101 near the mesh tray 103; the control valve 107 is installed on the water storage tank 106 and is located on the side of the water storage tank 106 near the mesh tray 103. The water storage tank 106 is connected to the small tray of the chassis 101 by bolts, which can be easily disassembled. The control valve 107 is used to control the water output. Water can be transported through the water storage tank 106 and the control valve 107.
[0025] Meanwhile, the shaft 108 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 102 and located at the top of the rotating seat 102; the control handle 109 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft 108 and rotatably connected to the shaft 108. The shaft 108 is installed at the top of the rotating seat 102, and the control handle 109 can rotate around the shaft 108. When it is necessary to disassemble the mesh tray 103, the control handle 109 is turned to a vertical position to disassemble the mesh tray 103. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating seat 102, the control handle 109 is turned to be parallel to the base 101 to rotate the rotating seat 102. The control handle 109 facilitates the rotation of the rotating seat 102.
[0026] Additionally, the first protrusion 110 is located on the side of the chassis 101 near the mesh tray 103; the rotating seat 102 has a second protrusion 111, which is located on the side of the rotating seat 102 near the mesh tray 103. The first protrusion 110 is located on the inner wall of the large tray of the chassis 101, and the periphery of the mesh tray 103 can be placed on the first protrusion 110, so that the periphery of the mesh tray 103 is supported. The second protrusion 111 is located on the periphery of the rotating seat 102, which can support the middle part of the mesh tray 103. Through the first protrusion 110 and the second protrusion 111, the mesh tray 103 is stably supported.
[0027] Finally, the lifting rod 112 is fixedly connected to the net tray 103 and is located on one side of the net tray 103. The lifting rod 112 is installed on the top of the net tray 103, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the net tray 103.
[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the control handle 109 is turned to the vertical position. Then, the net tray 103 is installed on the large tray of the base 101. Next, the water storage tank 106 is filled with water and installed on the small tray of the base 101. Then, the control valve 107 is opened, and the water flows to the large tray of the base 101. After releasing an appropriate amount of water, the control valve 107 is closed. Bees can then stand on the net tray 103 to drink, avoiding the risk of drowning. For cleaning, the net tray 103 is removed, and then the control handle 109 is rotated. Consequently, the rotating seat 102 drives the mounting arm 104 and the scraper 105 to rotate. The scraper 105 scrapes the inner wall of the large tray of the base 101, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the large tray. Finally, the drain valve at the bottom of the base 101 is opened to drain the wastewater. This application allows for cleaning of the inner wall of the chassis 101 by rotating the control handle 109, which is convenient to use and solves the problem that the water trough is prone to bacterial growth and needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the bees' drinking water health. However, the existing technology is not convenient for cleaning the water trough and is inconvenient to use.
