Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic bee feeding device, specifically an external automatic bee feeding device, belonging to the field of beekeeping technology. Background Technology

[0002] Beekeeping has a history of thousands of years. The use of honey began in the hunting and fishing era. The purpose of beekeeping is to use bees to pollinate crops, fruit trees, flowers, etc., and to produce products such as bees, royal jelly, bee pollen, and propolis.

[0003] The utility model patent CN219593388U provides a bee feeder, which relates to the field of bee feeding technology. It includes a feeder body; the feeder body is provided with an inverted water supply bottle in an up-down direction, and a bee feeding plate is installed at the bottom of the inverted water supply bottle by threads. It is convenient for a bee sunshade plate to be installed on the top by threads to provide sun protection for the bee feeding plate. This solves the problem that the top of the feeder has no sun protection measures and it is inconvenient to install a sunshade plate on the top of the water supply bottle to provide sun protection for the feeding bees.

[0004] In the process of beekeeping and management, when there is insufficient external nectar and pollen sources and not enough honey in the hive, it is necessary to feed bees syrup. In the breeding hive of the above patent, the device needs to be opened when adding syrup, which can easily cause stress to bees. In addition, the feeder is difficult to clean and can easily breed bacteria, causing the syrup to spoil. Utility Model Content

[0029] This utility model provides an external automatic bee feeding device.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The device includes a beehive 1, and a feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the beehive 1. The feeding mechanism 2 includes an assembly plate 201, a fixing plate 202, and a water inlet pipe 207. A syrup tank 210 and a clean water tank 211 are fixedly connected to the surface of the assembly plate 201, and a feeding box 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing plate 202. The device is fixed to the surface of the beehive 1 by the assembly plate 201 and the fixing plate 202, which improves the convenience and stability of the device installation. Syrup and clean water are stored in the syrup tank 210 and the clean water tank 211. The syrup and clean water are transported to the inside of the feeding box 204 through the water inlet pipe 207 to feed the bees, avoid stress reactions during bee feeding, and improve the safety of bee feeding.

[0031] The top of the fixed plate 202 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 203, and the limiting block 203 is snapped into the top of the beekeeping box 1. The assembly plate 201 and the fixed plate 202 are connected by bolts. The limiting block 203 improves the stability of the assembly of the fixed plate 202 and the beekeeping box 1. The bolts tightly fit the assembly plate 201 and the fixed plate 202 onto the surface of the beekeeping box 1, improving the stability of the feeding mechanism 2 fixed on the surface of the beekeeping box 1.

[0032] The inside of the feeding box 204 is fixedly connected with equidistant floating islands 205. One end of the feeding box 204 is fixedly connected to a float valve 208, and the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the float valve 208. The floating islands 205 facilitate bees to stay and climb on when feeding on syrup or drinking water, thus improving the safety of bees' diet. The float valve 208 controls the water inlet pipe 207 to add syrup to the feeding box 204 in a timely manner when there is a low amount of syrup inside the feeding box 204.

[0033] The other end of the feeding box 204 is fixedly connected to a wastewater pipe 206, which passes through the beehive 1 and extends to the outside. The top of the water inlet pipe 207 is fixedly connected to two control valves 209, which are respectively fixedly connected to the syrup tank 210 and the clean water tank 211. The control valves 209 are mature equipment, and this application can use existing equipment that meets the requirements. Through the control valves 209, the flow rate of the medium flowing from the syrup tank 210 and the clean water tank 211 into the water inlet pipe 207 is controlled, which improves the convenience of transporting sugar water through the water inlet pipe 207. Through the wastewater pipe 206, the wastewater inside the feeding box 204 can be easily cleaned out, which improves the stability of cleaning the feeding box 204.

[0034] Both the syrup tank 210 and the water tank 211 are equipped with scales on their side walls. The liquid inlets at the top of both the syrup tank 210 and the water tank 211 are fitted with sealing caps. The scales allow for easy monitoring of the amount of material inside the syrup tank 210 and the water tank 211. The sealing caps allow for easy and timely addition of syrup or water when the amount is low.

[0035] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the feeding box 204 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 3, which includes a sliding rod 301 and a micro water pump 303. The micro water pump 303 is a mature device, and this application can use existing equipment that meets the requirements. The micro water pump 303 delivers clean water from the clean water tank 211 to the sliding rod 301. The sliding rod 301 moves laterally, so that the clean water is sprayed all over the feeding box 204, which improves the cleaning effect of the feeding box 204, avoids bacterial infection that causes syrup to deteriorate, and improves the safety of feeding bees with syrup and clean water.

[0036] The surface of the sliding rod 301 is fixedly connected to spray heads 302 arranged at equal intervals. The input end of the micro water pump 303 is fixedly connected to the clean water tank 211, and the output end of the micro water pump 303 is fixedly connected to the clean water pipe 306. The clean water pipe 306 passes through the beehive 1 and the fixed plate 202 and is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 301. Through the micro water pump 303 and the clean water pipe 306, the clean water inside the clean water tank 211 is pressurized and sprayed into the sliding rod 301. Through the spray heads 302, the clean water is sprayed into the feeding box 204 to clean the feeding box 204.

[0037] A sliding guide rail 305 is fixedly connected to the surface of the assembly plate 201. A sliding block 304 is slidably connected inside the sliding guide rail 305, and the sliding block 304 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 301. The sliding guide rail 305 fixes the sliding block 304, and the sliding rod 301 is fixed through the sliding block 304, thereby improving the stability of the sliding rod 301 in the lateral sliding.

[0038] An electric push rod 307 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 202, and the output end of the electric push rod 307 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 301. The electric push rod 307 is a mature device, and this application can use existing devices that can meet the requirements. The sliding rod 301 is controlled to slide laterally by the electric push rod 307, thereby improving the stability of the lateral swing of the sliding rod 301.

[0039] In use, this invention is as follows: First, open the sealing cover and add syrup and water to the syrup tank 210 and the clean water tank 211. Then, by opening the control valve 209, the medium from the syrup tank 210 and the clean water tank 211 flows into the inlet pipe 207. The float valve 208 then transports the sugar water flowing from the inlet pipe 207 into the feeding box 204. Bees can then climb onto the surface of the floating island 205 to feed on the syrup or drink the water. After prolonged use, first close the control valve 209, then open the wastewater pipe 206 to drain the feed box 204. The wastewater inside is removed, and the clean water inside the clean water tank 211 is pressurized and sprayed into the sliding rod 301 through the micro water pump 303 and the clean water pipe 306. After passing through the spray head 302, the clean water is sprayed into the feeding box 204. At the same time, the electric push rod 307 is activated. The electric push rod 307 controls the sliding rod 301 to slide laterally, improving the stability of the lateral swing of the sliding rod 301. This drives the spray head 302 to slide laterally repeatedly, cleaning the feeding box 204 in all directions, improving the accuracy and convenience of cleaning the feeding box 204.
