[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] As shown in Figures 1-9, a transfer beehive includes a body 1 and a lid 2. The body 1 and the lid 2 are made of polypropylene or polyethylene material, molded, and have a wall thickness of 4-5 mm.
[0034] There is a stacked connection structure between the box body 1 and the box cover 2. The stacked connection structure includes a connector one on the box cover 2 and a connector two on the box body 1 that mates with the connector one. Specifically, the connector one includes a positioning groove 3 integrally formed in the middle of the box cover 2, and the connector two includes a positioning block at the lower end of the box body 1. For ease of manufacturing, the box body 1 is shaped like an inverted frustum, with the positioning block formed at the lower end of the box body 1. The positioning block can be inserted into the positioning groove 3. There is a reinforcing connection structure between the positioning block and the positioning groove 3. The reinforcing connection structure includes a snap-fit groove 4 integrally formed on the side wall of the positioning groove 3. The side wall of the box 1 is integrally formed with a snap-fit block 5 that matches the snap-fit groove 4. The snap-fit block 5 can be inserted into the snap-fit groove 4 with an interference fit. The lower end of the box 1 is inserted into the positioning groove 320-25mm to ensure connection stability. The snap-fit groove 4 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The snap-fit block 5 is a shape that matches the snap-fit groove 4. The snap-fit block 5 is inserted into the snap-fit groove 4 with an interference fit. This allows the connection stability to be improved by strengthening the connection structure during the stacking of the transport beehives. The bottom layer of transport beehives can be fixed on the ground. The stacking height can reach 5 layers.
[0035] To improve the structural strength of the lid 2, a reinforcing rib 19 is integrally formed at the bottom of the lid. An operating opening 6 is also integrally formed at the bottom of the box 1. The operating opening 6 extends to the bottom of the box 1. The box 1 is lifted and transported upward through the operating opening 6, thereby improving the stability of handling and preventing the box 1 from falling off.
[0036] The housing 1 contains a honeycomb frame device, which includes a support frame installed inside the housing 1. Multiple honeycomb frames 14 are spaced apart on the support frame. The honeycomb frames 14 can be of various shapes, such as Langstroth frames (as shown in Figure 10), Dadan frames (as shown in Figure 11), and English frames (as shown in Figure 12), thus adapting to different regional usage habits and different honey extractors. The multiple honeycomb frames 14 are parallel to each other, and adjacent frames 14 form a space for bee activity. The side walls of the housing 1 have support bases 16. In this embodiment, the upper end of the box 1 has an integrally formed groove, and the bottom of the groove forms a support base 16, which can limit the end of the support frame. The end of the support frame is inserted into the support base 16 to form a connection. The support frame includes a horizontal support plate 13, which is set on its side. The support plate 13 is made of multiple plates to improve bending strength. The upper side of the support plate 13 is machined with a positioning port 18 that cooperates with the nest frame 14. The upper end of the nest frame 14 is connected to a connecting plate 15 that cooperates with the positioning port 18, thereby positioning and fixing the nest frame 14 through the support frame.
[0037] The box body 1 is connected to an entrance structure 10. The entrance structure 10 includes an installation port 17 machined on the box body 1 to cooperate with the installation plate 101. The installation plate 101 is snapped into the installation port 17. A channel opening 106 is machined on the installation plate 101. A climbing platform 105 is connected to the outer end of the channel opening 106 to facilitate worker bees climbing when entering and exiting the channel opening 106. The channel opening 106 is connected to an opening and closing structure, which includes a movable cover 103 installed on the installation plate 101. A transverse sliding groove 102 is machined on the installation plate 101. The movable cover 103 is connected to a slider 107 that cooperates with the sliding groove 102. During transportation, the channel opening 106 is blocked by the movable cover 103. The movable cover 103 is connected to a lever 104 to facilitate operation. The entrance structures 10 are connected to both ends of the box body 1 to facilitate worker bees entering and exiting.
[0038] In some embodiments, a partition is installed in the middle of the box 1 to separate the box 1 into two independent cavities, resulting in a double-cavity beehive (as shown in Figure 13). Each cavity has a separate entrance structure 10, and a queen bee is placed in each cavity, which optimizes space, reduces competition, and accelerates reproduction.
[0039] The lid 2 has a feeding structure, which includes a feeding port 7 machined at the end of the lid 2. There is a connecting seat 8 at the outer end of the feeding port 7, which is then connected to the bottle, tube and other feeding tools. Since the box body 1 is an inverted truncated cone shape, it provides space for the distribution of the feeding ports 7. The lid 2 has feeding ports 7 distributed at both ends.
[0040] The enclosure 1 also has a ventilation structure, which includes ventilation grilles 9 on the side wall of the enclosure 1 and ventilation gaps formed between the enclosure 1 and the cover 2. The cover 2 has downward support blocks 20 machined on it. A connecting edge 11 is integrally formed at the upper edge of the enclosure 1. The connecting edge 11 cooperates with the support block 20 to form a ventilation gap. Ventilation holes 12 are machined on the connecting edge 11 to enhance ventilation. A flip-up connecting plate 21 is hinged to the middle of the side of the cover 2. The flip-up connecting plate 21 is connected to the enclosure 1 by fasteners. In use, the fasteners can be opened to flip the flip-up connecting plate 21 upwards to improve the ventilation effect of the enclosure 1.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
