[0002] Bee products (including honeybees, bumblebees, and hornets) not only have high nutritional and health benefits but also significant medicinal value. To control the harmful effects of various chemicals (including pesticides) and new pollutants on bees, toxicity tests and risk assessments using bees are necessary. Research on the health benefits and medicinal value of bee products also requires experiments with bees. These studies necessitate moving test bees into and out of bee cages. Currently, bee cages are typically placed flat on a laboratory table. However, limitations in cage size and the relative position of the opening to the table surface make this operation inconvenient and may affect the condition of the test bees and the research results.

[0025] The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1 like Figures 1-5 As shown, a honeycomb cage support in this embodiment includes a base plate 1, a support plate 2, a rack, and a support plate 3. The lower end of the support plate 2 is hinged to one end of the upper surface of the base plate 1 along its length via a first hinge shaft 21. One end of the support plate 3 is hinged to the middle of the lower surface of the support plate 2 via a second hinge shaft 31. The rack is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 1 and extends along its length. The other end of the support plate 3 can abut against the end face 12 of any tooth of the rack for limiting its position and placing the support plate 2 in an inclined state. Both the first hinge shaft 21 and the second hinge shaft 31 extend along the width direction of the base plate 1. A honeycomb cage connecting assembly is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 2, allowing the honeycomb cage 5 to be placed on the upper surface of the support plate 2 and secured by the honeycomb cage connecting assembly. The specific hinge structure of the first hinge shaft 21 and the second hinge shaft 31 is not shown in the diagram; the structure shown is for illustrative purposes only.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first damping rubber pad is installed in the hinge hole at the hinge position between the first hinge shaft 21 and the base plate 1, and a second damping rubber pad is installed in the hinge hole at the hinge position between the second hinge shaft 31 and the support plate 2. By setting the damping rubber pad, the hinge shaft can self-position after rotating a preset angle without shaking.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the honeycomb connecting assembly includes elastic straps 4, the support plate 2 has a rectangular structure, and at least one elastic strap 4 is fixed at each of the four corners of the upper surface of the support plate 2. The elastic straps 4 can be fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 2 by connecting screws 41. During the experiment, the honeycomb 5 can be fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 2 using the elastic straps 4. The ends of the elastic straps 4 can be attached with Velcro, which allows the elastic straps 4 to be quickly connected in pairs, simplifying the operation of fixing and removing the honeycomb cage. Alternatively, clamps can be used instead of elastic straps. The clamps are fixed to the four corners of the support plate by fixing screws, and the honeycomb cage can be fixed to the support plate during the experiment.

[0029] The bracket plate, base plate, support plate, and limiting plate in this embodiment, as well as the limiting plate in the following embodiments, can be made of hard plastic or stainless steel and other metal materials, with a flat and smooth surface that is easy to clean.

[0030] This embodiment, by setting up a base plate, a support plate, a rack, and a support plate, allows the base plate to be placed on the experimental platform and the support plate to be supported on the rack during use. The tilt angle of the support plate can be adjusted by adjusting the support plate's support position, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the bee cage on the support plate, as well as the angle and relative position between the bee cage opening and the experimental platform. This makes the operation faster and smoother, reduces the impact on the test bees, and improves the authenticity and scientific validity of the research results.

[0031] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a preferred structure for a rack. For example... Figures 3-5 As shown, the rack in this embodiment includes multiple wedge blocks 11. These wedge blocks 11 are arranged sequentially along the length of the base plate 1 and fixed at the middle position of the upper surface of the base plate 1. The upper surface of each wedge block 11 is inclined, and its lower end is connected to the lower end face of an adjacent wedge block 11. A limiting notch 13 is formed between two adjacent wedge blocks 11. The other end of the support plate 3 can be inserted into the limiting notch 13 and abut against the end face of the wedge block 11. By providing multiple wedge blocks, the abutment and limiting of the support plate are facilitated.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the rack is comparable to the width of the support plate 3, and the tooth height of the rack can meet the stable support requirements of the support plate 3, making it easy to fix. Before the test begins, the support plate 2 is rotated to a suitable tilt angle, and then the support plate 3 is rotated to a suitable angle and supported on the wedge block 11 of the rack, fixing the support plate 2 at this tilt angle.

[0033] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides a preferred hinged structure for the base plate 1 and the support plate 2. A U-shaped hinge seat 14 is fixed at one end of the upper surface of the base plate 1 along its length, and the lower end of the support plate 2 is hinged to the U-shaped hinge seat 14 via a first hinge shaft 21. By providing the U-shaped hinge seat, the hinge connection between the lower end of the support mechanism and the base plate is facilitated.

[0034] Example 4 Based on any of Embodiments 1 to 3, this embodiment provides a preferred hinged structure between the support plate 2 and the base plate 1. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two hinge blocks 22 are fixed in the middle of the lower surface of the support plate 2. The two hinge blocks 22 are arranged at intervals. One end of the support plate 3 is hinged to the two hinge blocks 22 respectively through the second hinge shaft 31. By setting the hinge blocks, the hinge of the support plate is made more stable and reliable.

[0035] Example 5 Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a preferred structure for the support plate 2. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting plate 23 is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 2. The width of the connecting plate 23 along the axis of the first hinge shaft 21 is smaller than the width of the support plate 2. Limiting plates 25 are hinged to both sides of the connecting plate 23 via rotating shafts 24. The rotating shafts 24 are arranged parallel to the first hinge shaft 21. The limiting plates 25 can rotate to the upper side of the support plate 2 and limit the honeycomb cage 5. Alternatively, the limiting plates 25 can be elastically connected to the rotating shafts 24 via torsion springs. By providing the connecting plate, it is convenient to install the limiting plates to limit the lower end of the honeycomb cage on the support plate and prevent the honeycomb cage from slipping off the support plate.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting plate 23 and the support plate 2 form a convex structure.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting piece 25 can rotate 90° around the rotating shaft 24, allowing it to extend from above the connecting plate 23 and limit the bottom of the honeycomb cage 5, preventing it from slipping off the support plate 2. One end of the limiting piece 25 has a sleeve fitted onto the rotating shaft 24. A damping rubber sheet can be provided between the sleeve and the rotating shaft 24 for damping, or a limiting protrusion can be provided at the end of the sleeve, and a limiting rod can be provided on the rotating shaft 24. When the rotating shaft 24 rotates around the sleeve to a position perpendicular to the connecting plate 23, the limiting protrusion abuts against the limiting rod for limiting. When the test ends, the limiting piece 25 rotates to a position parallel to the support plate 2, facilitating the folding and storage of the support plate 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, during a bee test, the support plate 2 and the support plate 3 are rotated to suitable tilt angles. The support plate is then placed against the rack to stabilize the support plate at this tilt angle. The limiting plate is rotated to a position perpendicular to the support plate. The bee cage is placed on the support plate, and the limiting plate is used to hold the end of the bee cage away from the opening. The bee cage is then secured with elastic straps, the ends of which are fastened together with Velcro fasteners. After the test, the elastic straps are untied, the bee cage is removed, the limiting plate is rotated to a position parallel to the support plate, the support plate is placed against the lower surface of the support plate, and the support plate is rotated to fold and store the cage.

[0039] Example 6 This embodiment provides a honeycomb cage support assembly, including multiple honeycomb cage supports as described in any of the above embodiments. The multiple honeycomb cage supports are arranged side by side, and the support plates 2 of two adjacent honeycomb cage supports are connected and limited by a tenon and mortise structure.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the support plate 2 has tenons 26 and mortises 27 on both sides along the axial direction of the first hinge axis 21. The tenons 26 and mortises 27 are arranged correspondingly, and the shape of the tenon 26 matches the shape of the mortise 27. The tenon 26 of the support plate 2 is fitted into the mortise 27 of an adjacent support plate 2. By providing tenons and mortises on the support plate, splicing and disassembly are convenient.

[0041] In this embodiment, if there are many bee cages being experimented on simultaneously, multiple support plates 2 can be arranged side by side, with the tenons 26 of each support plate 2 inserted sequentially into the mortises 27 of the next support plate 2 to form a large, integrated support, thus improving experimental efficiency. When studying one bee per cage, the mortise and tenon structure allows the multiple support plates 2 in this embodiment to be arranged side by side, facilitating communication between bees in adjacent cages on the support plates 2.

[0042] The honeycomb cage support assembly in this embodiment can be spliced ​​together to conduct experiments, resulting in a more stable and reliable structure.
