Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beehive technology, specifically a cooling beehive. Background Technology

[0002] Bees are pollinating insects with high economic value and are widely used for pollinating crops. Beekeepers usually use beehives to provide bees with a place to breed and live. Beehives are also a basic beekeeping tool. Bees are quite sensitive to environmental temperature. Suitable temperature helps bees reproduce, collect honey and make honey. In high-temperature environments, excessively high temperatures inside the beehive will affect the normal life of the bee colony and may even lead to colony decline and a decrease in honey production.

[0003] Traditional beehives lack effective cooling measures and rely solely on natural ventilation for heat dissipation. In the high temperatures of summer, it is difficult to lower the temperature inside the hive in time through the ventilation openings, making it difficult to maintain a suitable living temperature for the bee colony. In addition, the beehives lack protection from direct sunlight, and the temperature inside the hive is easily raised due to sun exposure, further exacerbating the problem of excessively high temperatures inside the hive. The traditional beehives require opening the top cover for daily inspection and management of the bee colony, and the operation of opening the top cover is relatively cumbersome, increasing the daily workload of beekeepers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cooling beehive that solves the problem of traditional beehives lacking effective cooling measures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooling beehive, comprising a beehive body and a top cover, with sunshades fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the beehive body, a fan installed on one side of the beehive body, the air outlet of the fan connected to an air duct, one end of the air duct penetrating the beehive body and extending into the inner cavity of the beehive body, a guide plate for use with the air duct being fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the beehive body via a connector, and ventilation openings provided on the front, rear and other sides of the beehive body, with screens installed inside the ventilation openings.

[0006] Preferably, positioning blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the top cover, positioning grooves that cooperate with the positioning blocks are opened on both sides of the top of the beehive body, a locking rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the top cover, a first inclined surface is provided on one side of the bottom end of the locking rod, a limiting cylinder that cooperates with the locking rod is fixedly connected to the upper part of the front side of the beehive body, a limiting rod is slidably connected to one side of the limiting cylinder through a through hole, a second inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface is provided on the top of one end of the limiting rod, a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting rod is opened on the side of the locking rod, a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the limiting rod, and a spring is fixedly connected between the vertical rod and the limiting cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, a battery box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other side of the beehive body, and a storage battery for use with a fan is placed inside the battery box. A temperature sensor for use with the storage battery and the fan is provided at the bottom of one side of the beehive body, and a microcontroller is installed at the top of the battery box.

[0008] Preferably, the inner cavity of the beehive body is provided with a number of hive frames.

[0009] This invention provides a cooling beehive. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] (1) This utility model monitors the temperature inside the hive in real time through a temperature sensor. When the temperature is too high, the microcontroller controls the start of the fan and sends air through the air duct. With the help of the air guide plate and the ventilation port, the air circulation is accelerated, which can accelerate the reduction of the temperature inside the hive, create a suitable living environment for bees, and ensure the health of the bee colony and honey production. At the same time, the air guide plate can prevent the airflow from blowing directly and not interfere with the normal activities of the bees. The sunshade can block the direct sunlight during the hot summer season, reduce the heating of the beehive body by the sunlight, and reduce the rise in temperature inside the hive to a certain extent.

[0011] (2) This utility model, through the cooperation between the beehive body, positioning groove, top cover, positioning block, locking rod, limiting cylinder, limiting rod and spring structure, enables the positioning block to be inserted into the positioning groove to quickly and accurately install the top cover. During the process of closing the top cover downwards, the limiting rod can fix the top cover. When the top cover is opened, the limiting rod can be released by simply pulling the vertical rod. The operation is simple and convenient, which is convenient for beekeepers to inspect and manage bee colonies on a daily basis. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling beehive, including a beehive body 1 and a top cover 2. Sunshades 3 are fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the beehive body 1. A fan 4 is installed on one side of the beehive body 1. The air outlet of the fan 4 is connected to an air duct 5. One end of the air duct 5 passes through the beehive body 1 and extends into the inner cavity of the beehive body 1. A guide plate 6 that works with the air duct 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the beehive body 1 through a connector. Ventilation openings 7 are provided on the front, rear and other sides of the beehive body 1. A screen 8 is installed inside the ventilation opening 7.

[0020] Furthermore, to facilitate the closing and opening of the top cover 2, positioning blocks 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the top cover 2. Positioning grooves 10 that cooperate with the positioning blocks 9 are opened on both sides of the top of the beehive body 1. A locking rod 11 is fixedly connected to the front side of the top cover 2. A first inclined surface 12 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the locking rod 11. A limiting cylinder 13 that cooperates with the locking rod 11 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the front side of the beehive body 1. A limiting rod 14 is slidably connected to one side of the limiting cylinder 13 through a through hole. A second inclined surface 15 that cooperates with the first inclined surface 12 is provided on the top of one end of the limiting rod 14. A limiting groove 16 that cooperates with the limiting rod 14 is opened on the side of the locking rod 11. A vertical rod 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the limiting rod 14. A spring 18 is fixedly connected between the vertical rod 17 and the limiting cylinder 13.

[0021] Furthermore, in order to automatically cool the inside of the beehive body 1, reduce manual intervention, and improve management efficiency, a battery box 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other side of the beehive body 1. The battery box 23 contains a storage battery 19 that works with the fan 4. The storage battery 19 supplies power to the fan 4. A temperature sensor 20 that works with the storage battery 19 and the fan 4 is installed at the bottom of one side of the inner cavity of the beehive body 1. A microcontroller 24 is installed at the top of the inner cavity of the battery box 23.

[0022] It should be noted that the temperature sensor 20 is a DS18B20. The temperature sensor 20 sends the temperature data to the microcontroller 24. After comparing the real-time temperature data transmitted by the temperature sensor 20, the microcontroller 24 finds that the temperature exceeds the preset threshold. It will then send a control signal to start the fan 4. After the fan 4 is powered on, it starts to run and delivers air into the beehive body 1 through the air duct 5 to achieve cooling. The temperature sensor 20 continues to monitor the temperature inside the beehive body 1 in real time and sends the latest temperature data to the microcontroller 24. When the microcontroller 24 detects that the temperature inside the beehive has dropped below the preset threshold, it will send a stop signal and the fan will stop running.

[0023] The inner cavity of the beehive body 1 is provided with several hive frames 22.

[0024] In use, align the positioning block 9 with the positioning groove 10 and lower the top cover 2. Insert the locking rod 11 into the limiting cylinder 13. The first inclined part 12 of the locking rod 11 presses against the second inclined part 15 of the limiting rod 14. When the locking rod 11 continues to move down to the appropriate position, under the action of the spring 18, the limiting rod 14 inserts into the limiting groove 16 of the locking rod 11, thus fixing the top cover 2. When the beekeeper needs to open the top cover 2, he can pull the vertical rod 17 to make the limiting rod 14 overcome the spring 18 and disengage from the limiting groove 16 on the locking rod 11. Then, the top cover 2 can be taken out by lifting the handle. It is convenient to operate and easy to use.

[0025] Temperature sensor 20 continuously monitors the temperature inside the beehive body 1. If the temperature inside the beehive body 1 is within a suitable range, the fan 4 is turned off. When the temperature inside the beehive body 1 is too high, temperature sensor 20 sends a signal to microcontroller 24. Microcontroller 24 controls the fan 4 to start, and air is sent into the beehive body 1 through air duct 5. Air guide plate 6 guides the airflow to avoid blowing directly into the hive frame 22 and accelerates the airflow speed inside the beehive body 1. Finally, the air is discharged through vent 7, thereby achieving cooling inside the beehive body 1.
