Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beekeeping technology, and in particular to a self-locking adjustable hive door device to prevent bee colony escape. Background Technology

[0002] A bee colony is a highly organized collective of bees, typically consisting of a queen, a swarm of worker bees, and a small number of drones. The queen is the core of the colony, responsible for laying eggs and maintaining its reproduction; worker bees are primarily responsible for foraging, caring for the hive and larvae, cleaning the cells, and other tasks; the main role of drones is mating. Bee colonies play a vital role in the ecosystem, not only participating in pollination and promoting plant reproduction but also producing honey and other bee products for humans. The presence of the hive entrance is crucial for maintaining the stability and safety of the colony. The main function of the hive entrance is to control the entry and exit of bees, ensuring smooth movement when foraging for food and returning to the hive. Simultaneously, the hive entrance effectively protects the colony from external dangers such as strong winds, rain, and other natural elements, as well as threats from other animals, safeguarding the bees and honey inside the hive.

[0003] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: conventional hive entrances usually require manual closing by workers and mostly only have two-way entrances and exits, which may lead to bees escaping and thus affect the stability of the bee colony. In addition, when the hive entrance is dirty, it needs to be cleaned manually, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and may lead to bacterial growth, thereby affecting the health of the bees.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a self-locking adjustable hive entrance device to prevent bee colony escape, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a self-locking adjustable hive entrance device to prevent bee colony escape. This invention can adjust the speed at which bees enter the hive and can automatically clean the rear end of the baffle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A self-locking adjustable hive entrance device for preventing bee colony escape includes an entrance body and two baffles. The entrance body has bidirectional inlets and outlets on both sides of the lower front end. Fixed boxes are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper front end of the entrance body. One-way movable plates are hinged to the front ends of the two fixed boxes. A fixed plate is fixedly installed on the middle position of the front side of the inner end of the entrance body. A gear is rotatably installed on one side of the inner end of the mounting groove. An mounting plate is fixedly installed on the rear side of the inner end of the entrance body. A brush plate is fixedly installed on the front end of the mounting plate by bolts. Through slots are opened at both the upper and lower ends of the entrance body.

[0008] A rack is fixedly installed at one corner of one side of the two baffles, and a toggle block is fixedly installed at one corner of the opposite side of the two baffles.

[0009] Furthermore, the two unidirectional movable plates are movably disposed above the front end of the nest entrance body, and the two through slots are located on opposite sides of the two mounting slots.

[0010] Furthermore, the two baffles are movably disposed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate, and the two racks are slidably disposed at the inner end of the mounting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the two actuating blocks pass through the two through slots and are movably disposed on the upper and lower sides of the nest entrance body, and the front end of the brush plate contacts the rear end of the baffle.

[0012] Furthermore, both baffles have multiple air inlets at their front ends, and one of the baffles is movably mounted at the rear end of the two fixed boxes.

[0013] Furthermore, another of the two baffles is movably mounted at the rear end of the two bidirectional inlet and outlet.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention proposes a self-locking adjustable hive entrance device to prevent bee colony escape. After moving the lower lever, a baffle releases a bidirectional inlet / outlet, allowing bees to fly out. When a large number of bees need to enter the hive, the bidirectional inlet / outlet allows for faster entry and exit, effectively increasing honey collection speed and production. Moving the upper lever causes the gears to rotate, repositioning the lower baffle back into the hive entrance. At this point, bees are only allowed to enter the hive through the fixed box. Bees inside the fixed box can push open a one-way movable plate to enter the hive. The one-way movable plate then falls back due to gravity, covering the fixed box. Furthermore, as the baffle moves, a cleaning plate cleans the rear of the baffle, keeping the air inlet clean and reducing bacterial growth. The self-locking design of the baffle effectively reduces the risk of bee escape, maintaining colony stability. Air enters the hive through the air inlet, helping to maintain suitable environmental conditions and promoting bee activity and health. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0026] A self-locking adjustable hive entrance device for preventing bee colony escape includes an entrance body 1 and two baffles 8. The entrance body 1 has bidirectional inlets and outlets 2 on both sides of its lower front end. Fixed boxes 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper front end of the entrance body 1. One-way movable plates 4 are hinged to the front ends of the two fixed boxes 3. A fixed plate 5 is fixedly installed near the middle of the front inner end of the entrance body 1. A gear 14 is rotatably installed on one side of the inner end of the mounting groove 6. An mounting plate 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the rear inner end of the entrance body 1. A brush plate 11 is fixedly installed at the front end of the mounting plate 7 by bolts. Through slots 12 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the entrance body 1. A rack 9 is fixedly installed at one corner of one opposite side of the two baffles 8. A toggle block 10 is fixedly installed at one corner of the opposite side of the two baffles 8. Two one-way movable plates 4 are movably installed above the front end of the nest entrance body 1. Two through slots 12 are located on the opposite side of the two mounting slots 6. The two baffles 8 are movably installed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate 5. Two racks 9 are slidably installed in the inner end of the mounting slot 6. The two toggle blocks 10 pass through the two through slots 12 and are movably installed on the upper and lower sides of the nest entrance body 1. The front end of the brush plate 11 contacts the rear end of the baffle 8. Multiple air inlets 13 are opened at the front end of the two baffles 8. One of the two baffles 8 is movably installed at the rear end of the two fixed boxes 3, and the other baffle 8 is movably installed at the rear end of the two bidirectional inlets and outlets 2.

[0027] Specifically, after the lower lever 10 is turned, the baffle 8 releases the bidirectional inlet / outlet 2, allowing bees to fly out. When a large number of bees need to enter the hive, the bidirectional inlet / outlet 2 allows bees to enter and exit the hive more quickly, thereby effectively increasing the bees' honey collection speed and honey production. After the upper lever 10 is turned, due to the rotation of the gear 14, the lower baffle 8 will move back into the hive entrance body 1. At this time, bees are only allowed to enter the hive from the fixed box 3. The bees entering the fixed box 3 can push open the one-way movable plate 4 to enter the hive. The one-way movable plate 4 falls back due to gravity and covers the fixed box 3. In addition, when the baffle 8 moves, the scrubbing plate 11 can clean the rear end of the baffle 8, keeping the air inlet 13 clean and reducing bacterial growth. Through the self-locking design of the baffle 8, the risk of bees escaping can be effectively reduced, maintaining the stability of the bee colony. Air can enter the hive from the air inlet 13, which helps maintain suitable environmental conditions inside the hive to promote the activity and health of the bees.

[0028] Working principle: After the lower lever 10 is turned, the baffle 8 will release the bidirectional inlet and outlet 2, and bees can fly out from the bidirectional inlet and outlet 2. When a large number of bees need to enter the hive, the bidirectional inlet and outlet 2 can allow bees to enter and exit the hive more quickly. After the upper lever 10 is turned, due to the rotation of the gear 14, the lower baffle 8 will move back into the hive entrance body 1. At this time, bees are only allowed to enter the hive from the fixed box 3. The bees that enter the fixed box 3 can push open the one-way movable plate 4 to enter the hive. The one-way movable plate 4 falls back due to gravity and will cover the fixed box 3. In addition, when the baffle 8 moves, the brush plate 11 can clean the rear end of the baffle 8 and keep the air inlet 13 clean. Air can enter the hive from the air inlet 13, which helps to maintain suitable environmental conditions inside the hive.
