Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beekeeping technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional mobile transport box for beekeeping. Background Technology

[0002] Bee transport boxes are specialized containers used for the safe and efficient transport of bees during beekeeping. They typically have functions such as ventilation, securing, and feeding to reduce the stress on the bee colony during transport and ensure the health and safety of the bees. During bee transport, to reduce stress and improve the bees' survival rate, it is usually necessary to adjust the temperature and humidity inside the transport box according to the ambient temperature.

[0003] While current bee transport boxes can regulate humidity and temperature, they typically have ventilation openings on the top or sides to create air convection channels for cooling. During transport, water is sprayed around the box to cool it down, or a shading device is installed to prevent direct sunlight. When humidity needs to be adjusted, water basins are usually added to increase humidity or absorbent materials are added inside the box to reduce humidity. This can easily cause stress to the bee colony and makes it inconvenient to adjust the humidity inside the box according to the actual weather conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional mobile transport box for beekeeping, so as to solve the existing problems.

[0006] Preferably, the air volume regulating component includes an air inlet channel formed by an air inlet side plate with a porous structure, and a movable regulating plate is provided in the air inlet channel. The regulating plate separates the air inlet channel into a main channel and a secondary channel that do not interfere with each other, and the main channel is connected to the air supply channel.

[0007] Preferably, the air volume regulating component further includes a swing member, which includes an outer end connected to the air inlet side plate and an inner end opposite to the outer end, and the inner end moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving path of the air inlet side plate.

[0008] Preferably, the swinging component includes a frame structure formed by two connecting rods and two mounting plates, with the outer end and the inner end each formed by two connecting rods.

[0009] Preferably, a sliding plate is fixed on the adjusting plate and rotatably connected to the outer end connecting rod, and a guide groove is provided on the air inlet side plate, and a threaded adjusting rod that is screwed into the inner end connecting rod is rotatably installed in the guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the water storage component is installed in the swing member of the frame structure.

[0011] Preferably, the two mounting plates are respectively clamped on both sides of the water storage component, and the two connecting rods respectively pass through both ends of the water storage component.

[0012] Preferably, a water distribution hole is provided on at least the inner end of the connecting rod, and a water injection pipe extending through to the top of the box is connected to the connecting rod.

[0013] Preferably, the housing includes a top plate, side plates, and a bottom plate surrounding the air supply duct. At least one nest frame is disposed inside the air supply duct, and a nest comb is installed on the nest frame. The nest frame is connected to the side plate by a locking member.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] The multifunctional mobile transport box for beekeeping provided in this embodiment includes a box body 100. The box body 100 is enclosed by a top plate, side plates and a bottom plate to form an air supply channel and a humidity regulating mechanism 200 for adjusting the air intake of the air supply channel. The humidity regulating mechanism 200 includes a water storage component 208 and an air volume regulating component. At least one honeycomb frame 102 is set in the air supply channel. Honeycomb combs 101 are installed on the honeycomb frame 102. The cross-sectional dimensions of the honeycomb frame 102 and the honeycomb combs 101 are smaller than the cross-sectional dimensions of the air supply channel to ensure the air supply effect inside the air supply channel.

[0030] In one executable embodiment of this example, the water storage component 208 can be made of strip-shaped sponge and is installed vertically or horizontally on the air outlet side of the air volume regulating component, that is, at the connection position between the air supply channel and the humidity regulating mechanism 200 (not shown in the figure).

[0031] The airflow regulating component includes an air inlet channel enclosed by a porous air inlet side plate 204. A movable regulating plate 209 is provided in the air inlet channel, and the air inlet channel is divided into a main channel and a secondary channel that do not interfere with each other by the regulating plate 209. A swinging component (not shown in the figure) is installed in the main channel. The swinging component includes two connecting rods and an inclined air guide plate sleeved on the two connecting rods. A sliding plate 205 that is rotatably connected to the outer connecting rod is fixed on the regulating plate 209. A guide groove 203 is provided on the air inlet side plate 204, and a threaded regulating rod 202 that is screwed into the inner connecting rod is rotatably installed in the guide groove 203. When airflow needs to be adjusted, the threaded adjusting rod 202 is rotated. The rotation of the threaded adjusting rod 202 causes the inner connecting rod to move upward. The upward movement of the inner connecting rod causes the inner end of the inclined air guide plate to tend to move upward. However, the outer end of the inclined air guide plate is rotatably connected to the slide plate 205 through the connecting rod. The slide plate 205 and the adjusting plate 209 are fixed, which means that the outer end of the inclined air guide plate can only move left and right (cannot move up and down). The upward movement of the inner connecting rod will push the outer connecting rod through the inclined air guide plate, thereby driving the slide plate 205 and the adjusting plate 209 to slide to the right. The movement of the adjusting plate 209 changes the cross-sectional dimensions of the main channel and the secondary channel, thereby changing the airflow introduced into the air supply channel through the air inlet channel. The inclined air guide plate then swings between the inner connecting rod and the outer connecting rod, that is, the air guide tilt of the inclined air guide plate changes.

[0032] Based on the above-mentioned ability to regulate air volume, when the airflow passes through the water storage component 208, the corresponding water vapor content will also change, thereby changing the humidity inside the air supply channel.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Figure 1 This is an external view of the mobile transfer box provided by this utility model. Figure 1 It is known that the mobile transfer box specifically includes a box body 100, which includes an air supply channel and a humidity regulating mechanism 200 for adjusting the air intake of the air supply channel.

[0035] Regarding the air supply duct, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the housing 100 is enclosed by a top plate, side plates, and a bottom plate to form an air supply channel, and at least one nest frame 102 is set within the air supply channel (a total of 10 are shown in the figure). Thus, the airflow through the air supply channel, i.e., the airflow passing through the nest frame 102, is adjusted by the humidity regulating mechanism 200. Normally, airflow at room temperature is a mixture of airflow and water vapor; therefore, when the airflow through the nest frame 102 changes, the humidity of the environment surrounding the nest frame 102 will also change.

[0036] In one executable implementation of this embodiment, the specific installation of the nest frame 102 within the air supply duct is as follows: (in conjunction with...) Figure 2 As shown, protrusions 103 are provided at both ends of the frame 102, and grooves 210 are provided on the side plate. The protrusions 103 are engaged in the grooves 210 to fix the frame 102, which can prevent the honeycomb 101 from colliding and being damaged during transportation. At the same time, the installation density of the honeycomb 101 can be adjusted according to the number of bees being transported.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 2 It is known that the humidity regulation mechanism 200 includes a water storage component 208 and an air volume regulation component. The air volume regulation mechanism controls the humidity inside the box 100 by adjusting the air intake to change the evaporation rate of water vapor on the water storage component 208. In dry weather or when the temperature is high, the air intake can be increased to increase the humidity inside the box 100 or decrease the temperature inside the box 100. This can prevent bees from repeatedly going back and forth to the water storage component 208 to collect water due to the dryness inside the box 100, effectively saving the bees' energy and preventing the bee colony from becoming stuffy. This can effectively improve the survival rate of bees during transportation, which is especially important for bee colonies in long-distance transportation or high-temperature and dry environments.

[0038] Specifically, the air volume regulating component includes an air inlet channel enclosed by a porous air inlet side plate 204. A movable regulating plate 209 is provided in the air inlet channel, and the regulating plate 209 divides the air inlet channel into a main channel and a secondary channel that do not interfere with each other. A swinging component is installed in the main channel. The swinging component includes an outer end connected to the air inlet side plate 204 and an inner end opposite to the outer end. The inner end moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving path of the air inlet side plate 204. The outer end and the inner end are respectively formed by two connecting rods 207. The two ends of the two connecting rods 207 are connected and combined into a frame structure by mounting plates 206. A water storage component 208 is installed in the swinging component of the frame structure.

[0039] In one executable embodiment of this example, in order to meet the ventilation requirements, the regulating plate 209 or the top plate of the air inlet channel can be configured as a porous structure to increase the air intake at the air inlet end.

[0040] Preferably, the water storage component 208 can be made of sponge, cotton cloth, wood chips or honeycomb wax. In nature, bees obtain water from surfaces such as leaf dew and moist soil. The fiber structure of this type of water storage component simulates such an environment, making it easier for bees to absorb water. At the same time, this type of water storage component can store a large amount of water and keep the surface moist through capillary action to meet the bees' continuous water intake needs.

[0041] Furthermore, a sliding plate 205 rotatably connected to the outer connecting rod 207 is fixed on the adjusting plate 209. A guide groove 203 is provided on the air inlet side plate 204, and a threaded adjusting rod 202, screwed to the inner connecting rod 207, is rotatably installed within the guide groove 203. When the air intake needs to be adjusted, the threaded adjusting rod 202 is rotated. The rotation of the threaded adjusting rod 202 causes the inner connecting rod 207 to move upward. The upward movement of the inner connecting rod 207 causes the inner end of the swinging member to tend to move upward. However, the outer end of the swinging member is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 205 via the connecting rod 207. The sliding plate 205 is fixed to the adjusting plate 209, causing the outer end of the swinging member to only move left and right (not up and down). The upward movement of the inner connecting rod 207 will push the outer connecting rod 207 through the swinging member, thereby driving the sliding plate 205 and the adjusting plate. When 209 moves to the right, the movement of the adjusting plate 209 changes the cross-sectional dimensions of the main channel and the secondary channel, thereby changing the air volume introduced into the air supply channel by the air inlet channel. The swinging component swings between the inner and outer connecting rods. The swinging component swings up and down, changing the contact area between the water storage component 208 installed in the swinging component and the air inlet end of the air supply channel. As the contact area changes, the evaporation rate of water on the water storage component 208 will also change, and the humidity regulation effect of the air supply channel will also change. The humidity and temperature inside the box 100 can be better adjusted as needed.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 2. During the transfer process, as the airflow continuously carries water vapor into the container 100, the amount of water stored in the water storage component 208 will gradually decrease. In order to ensure the humidification effect, this embodiment adds a water replenishment structure connecting the water storage component 208 to the structure in Embodiment 2.

[0044] Regarding the preferred supplementary water replenishment structure in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes a water injection pipe 201 that can guide water into the water storage component 208.

[0045] In a specific executable implementation, the connecting rod 207 is configured as a hollow structure, and the hollow connecting rod 207 of the embodiment serves as a water guiding structure connecting the water injection pipe 201 and the water storage component 208. Preferably, the connecting rod 207 with its inner and outer ends passes through the water storage component 208, and at least the inner end of the connecting rod 207 has a water distribution hole. Figure 4 As shown, when the water injection pipe 201 is connected and fixed to the inner end connecting rod 207, water can be injected into the inner end connecting rod 207 through the water injection pipe 201. The water flows through the water distribution holes on the surface of the inner end connecting rod 207 and seeps into the water storage component 208, thereby completing the water replenishment operation and ensuring the humidification effect of the water storage component 208.

[0046] In the above three embodiments, a cover net can be provided on the outside of the transfer box 100, or a cover net can be provided only at the air inlet and air outlet of the air supply channel to prevent bees from escaping during the transfer process.

[0047] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
