Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bee testing devices, specifically to an angle-adjustable bee cage support and bee cage support assembly. Background Technology

[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.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1 like Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, an angle-adjustable honeycomb cage support in this embodiment includes a support plate 1, a support plate 2, and a metal chain 3. The upper end of the support plate 1 is hinged to the upper end of the support plate 2 via a hinge shaft 22. The lower ends of both the support plate 1 and the support plate 2 can be supported on an experimental table or the ground. The hinge shaft 22 is horizontally arranged. A hanging ring 12 is fixed to the center of the lower side of one of the support plate 2 and the support plate 1, and a hook 11 is fixed to the center of the other lower side. The metal chain 3 has multiple hook holes arranged along its own length. One end of the metal chain 3 is fixed to the hanging ring 12, and the metal chain 3 can be hooked onto the hook 11 through any one of the hook holes. A honeycomb cage connecting assembly is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 1, allowing the honeycomb cage 5 to be placed on the upper surface of the support plate 1 and secured by the honeycomb cage connecting assembly. The specific hinge structure of the hinge shaft is not shown in the figure; the structure shown in the figure is for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the metal chain 3 in this embodiment includes multiple metal rings, which are connected in series to form a chain structure. Each metal ring can be used as a hook with a hook hole to be hooked onto the hook 11. The support plate 1 and the support plate 2 rotate around the hinge axis 22 to a suitable tilt angle, straightening the metal chain 3 and hooking it onto the hook 11, thus stabilizing the support plate 1 at this tilt angle.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the honeycomb connecting assembly includes elastic straps 4, the support plate 1 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 1. The elastic straps 4 can be fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 1 by connecting screws 41. During the experiment, the honeycomb cage 5 can be fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 1 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.

[0027] In this embodiment, the support plate and the support plate can rotate within a range of 0° to 180° around the hinge axis. The support plate, support plate, and limiting plate of this embodiment, as well as those described in the following embodiments, can be made of hard plastic or stainless steel or other metal materials, with a flat and smooth surface that is easy to clean.

[0028] The adjustable-angle honeycomb cage support in this embodiment, by setting up a support plate, a support plate, and a metal chain, allows for adjustment of the angle between the support plate and the support plate as needed. This, in turn, adjusts the tilt angle of the honeycomb cage on the support plate relative to the experimental platform, thereby adjusting the angle and relative position between the honeycomb cage opening and the experimental platform. This makes operation faster and smoother, reduces the impact on the test bees, and improves the authenticity and scientific validity of the research results. The adjustable-angle honeycomb cage support in this embodiment is compact when folded, making it easy to store.

[0029] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a preferred hinge connection scheme between the support plate 1 and the support plate 2. For example... Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the support plate 1 has two first hinge blocks 13 arranged side by side, forming a hinge interface between the two first hinge blocks 13. The upper middle part of the support plate 2 has a second hinge block 21 fixed thereon. The second hinge block 21 is placed inside the hinge interface and is hinged to the two first hinge blocks 13 on both sides by hinge shafts 22. By setting the first hinge block and the second hinge block, the hinge between the support plate and the support plate is made more stable and reliable.

[0030] Preferably, each of the two first hinge blocks 13 has a hinge hole, which is connected to the hinge interface. The two sides of the second hinge block 21 are respectively hinged to the corresponding hinge holes by hinge shafts 22.

[0031] Optionally, a damping rubber sheet is provided inside the hinge hole. By providing a damping rubber sheet inside the hinge hole, the support plate and the support plate can have a certain positioning damping after being adjusted to a set angle, which facilitates the attachment of the metal chain.

[0032] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides a preferred structure for the support plate 1. For example... Figures 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the support plate 1 is connected to a limiting piece 14 via a rotating shaft 15. The limiting piece 14 can rotate around the rotating shaft 15 to the top of the support plate 1 and is arranged perpendicular to the support plate 1.

[0033] like Figures 3-5As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a connecting plate 16 is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 1, forming a U-shaped structure with the connecting plate 16. The width of the connecting plate 16 along the axis of the hinge shaft 22 is smaller than the width of the support plate 1. A limiting piece 14 is connected to each side of the connecting plate 16 via a rotating shaft 15, which is arranged parallel to the hinge shaft 22. By providing the connecting plate, it is convenient to install the limiting pieces to limit the lower end of the honeycomb cage on the support plate, preventing the honeycomb cage from slipping off the support plate.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting piece 14 can rotate 90° around the pivot, allowing it to extend from above the connecting plate 16 and limit the bottom of the honeycomb cage 5, preventing it from slipping off the support plate 1. One end of the limiting piece 14 has a sleeve fitted onto the pivot 15. A damping rubber sheet can be provided between the sleeve and the pivot 15 for damping, or a limiting protrusion can be provided at the end of the sleeve, and a limiting rod can be provided on the pivot 15. When the pivot 15 rotates around the sleeve to a position perpendicular to the connecting plate 16, the limiting protrusion abuts against the limiting rod for limiting; alternatively, the limiting piece 14 can be elastically connected to the pivot 15 via a torsion spring. When the test ends, the limiting piece 14 rotates to a position parallel to the support plate 1, facilitating the folding and storage of the support plate 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the adjustable honeycomb cage support is used for honeybee testing. The support plate and support panel are rotated around the hinge axis to a suitable tilt angle. The metal chain is straightened and hung on the hook, placing the cage on a horizontal test platform. The support plate is stabilized at this tilt angle. The limiting plate is rotated to a position perpendicular to the support plate. The honeycomb cage is placed on the support plate, with the limiting plate abutting the end of the cage furthest from the opening. The honeycomb cage is secured with elastic straps, the ends of which are fastened together with Velcro fasteners. After the test, the elastic straps are untied, the honeycomb cage is removed, the limiting plate is rotated to a position parallel to the support plate, the metal chain is removed from the hook, and the support plate is rotated around the hinge axis to fit snugly against the lower surface of the support plate for storage.

[0036] Example 4 This embodiment provides a honeycomb cage support assembly, including multiple angle-adjustable honeycomb cage supports as described in any of the above embodiments. The multiple angle-adjustable honeycomb cage supports are arranged side by side, and the support plates 1 of two adjacent angle-adjustable honeycomb cage supports are limited by mortise and tenon joints.

[0037] like Figures 1-5As shown, preferably, the support plate 1 has tenons 17 and mortises 18 on both sides along the hinge axis 22. The tenons 17 and mortises 18 are arranged correspondingly, and the shape of the tenon 17 matches the shape of the mortise 18. The tenon 17 of the support plate 1 is fitted into the mortise 18 of an adjacent support plate 1. By providing tenons and mortises on the support plate, splicing and disassembly are convenient.

[0038] In this embodiment, if there are many bee cages being experimented on simultaneously, multiple support plates 1 can be arranged side by side, with the tenons of each support plate 1 inserted sequentially into the mortises of the next support plate 1 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 1 in this embodiment to be arranged side by side, facilitating communication between bees in adjacent cages on the support plates 1.

[0039] The honeycomb support assembly of this embodiment can be spliced ​​together with multiple angle-adjustable honeycomb supports for joint experiments, resulting in a more stable and reliable structure.
