Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beekeeping technology, specifically a wooden beehive with ultraviolet sterilization function. Background Technology

[0002] Beekeeping methods involve a series of feeding measures taken on bee colonies to obtain large quantities of inexpensive, high-quality bee products. These measures include selecting beekeeping sites, merging and separating bee colonies, introducing queen bees, removing queen bees from encirclement, preventing robbing, controlling natural swarming, and capturing bee colonies. Selecting nectar sources is one of the important measures for high bee colony productivity. Bees should be kept in areas with two or more nectar-producing plants and a number of auxiliary nectar sources.

[0003] In the process of developing this utility model, the inventor discovered the following problems with the existing technology: 1. During long-term use, the screws of the beehive are prone to loosening due to factors such as moving and vibration of the beehive and the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Once the screws loosen, gaps will appear between the various parts of the beehive, which will not only affect the overall sealing of the beehive, but also cause deformation of the beehive structure, affecting the living environment of the bees; 2. Bees are susceptible to a variety of diseases, such as American foulbrood and European foulbrood. These diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria and fungi. After the pathogens multiply on the surface of the honeycomb and hive walls inside the beehive, they can easily spread within the bee colony. Once the larvae come into contact with contaminated cells and food, they will be infected, leading to the death of the larvae and a rapid weakening of the bee colony. Utility Model Content

A photovoltaic panel 206 is installed above the storage box 207 by screws. A handle block 208 is welded to the top of the top cover 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box 1 consists of a front panel and a rear panel, both of which are equipped with trapezoidal toothed plates, as well as a left side panel and a right side panel, both of which are equipped with trapezoidal toothed plates. The front panel, rear panel, left side panel, and right side panel are snapped together to form a rectangle. The external structural dimensions of the trapezoidal toothed plates of the front panel and rear panel are consistent with the internal structural dimensions of the trapezoidal toothed plate on the top of the bottom plate 105. The snap-fit ​​method of the trapezoidal toothed plates connects the front panel, rear panel, left side panel, and right side panel, which are then combined with the bottom plate 105 to form the box 1, allowing for quick assembly of the beehive. During express delivery, the various components can be disassembled to save space and reduce transportation costs. Moreover, the trapezoidal toothed plates of the front panel and rear panel can precisely match the trapezoidal toothed plates of the bottom plate 105, ensuring the structural stability of the box 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, both the left and right side panels have beehive openings 106. The internal dimensions of the first slide rail 102 are consistent with the external dimensions of the first movable plate 103. The left and right side panels each have a first ventilation mesh 101, and the external dimensions of the first movable plate 103 are consistent with the total length of the several horizontally arranged beehive openings 106. The beehive openings 106 on the left and right side panels facilitate bees entering and exiting the hive. The first ventilation mesh 101 is used for ventilation. The first movable plate 103 can move within the first slide rail 102 to control the opening and closing of the beehive openings 106. The beehive openings 106 provide a passage for bees to enter and exit. The ventilation mesh ensures air circulation inside the hive, which is beneficial to the survival of bees. The first movable plate 103 can fit snugly against the beehive openings 106, effectively preventing bees from escaping. Its dimensions are consistent with the total length of the beehive openings 106, which can effectively achieve the sealing function. The design of the first slide rail 102 makes the operation of the first movable plate 103 more convenient.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the left and right side panels of the inner wall of the box 1 are equipped with mounting plates 109, and the inside of the box 1 is horizontally arranged with foundation 107 and partition 108, with partition 108 located in the middle of foundation 107; mounting plates 109 provide a stable placement position for foundation 107 and partition 108, foundation 107 helps guide bees to build nests according to certain rules, and partition 108 can reasonably divide the activity space and cells of bees, making it convenient to manage bees and collect bee products.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the internal structural dimensions of the second slide rail 204 are consistent with the external structural dimensions of the push plate 205. The position of the push plate 205 controls the sterilization operation of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 202 on the inside of the box 1. The matching size of the push plate 205 and the second slide rail 204 makes the movement of the push plate 205 smoother. This design allows the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 202 to be easily turned on or off. It can be turned on when sterilization is needed and can be turned off at other times to prevent ultraviolet rays from harming bees and other animals.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the photovoltaic panel 206 and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 202 are connected by a cable. The cable connects the photovoltaic panel 206 and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 202, and the photovoltaic panel 206 converts the light source into electrical energy to power the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 202. By adopting photovoltaic power supply, the beehive can provide the power required for sterilization on its own under the condition of light, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It does not require an additional power supply and increases the convenience of using the beehive, especially suitable for outdoor and other scenarios without mains power access.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the external structural dimensions of the second ventilation mesh 201 are consistent with the internal structural dimensions of the box 1, and the external structural dimensions of the top cover 2 are consistent with the external structural dimensions of the second ventilation mesh 201.
