Description

“BEE HONEY COLLECTION AND MANUFACTURING SYSTEM BOARD” This descriptive report refers to a patent application for a board developed for an unprecedented bee honey manufacturing and collection system. The plate is injected in plastic material, being entirely taken by symmetrically aligned aligned wells, with their tapered, hollow bottoms, determining between these wells massive parts in the plate. After injecting the plate, the surface of the alveoli is covered by a layer of beeswax forming the field of attraction for the insect that seals the back and begins the construction of the walls. According to the project, once the honeycomb is filled and sealed with honey by the bees, the plate is passed to industrial stages in which the cocoons are drilled by means of a specific tool followed by easy step centrifugation. Honey is drained and stored for marketing.

Therefore, through this plate of plastic material, with wells aligned the bees normally operate for the manufacture of honey.

TECHNICAL STATE

As is well known by specialists and experts in the field, for the manufacture and collection of honey at industrial levels, the beekeeper uses pressed beeswax plates, which have on both sides a relief of hexagons where the The bee will be guided to the mobile manufacturing.

For its structuring the plate receives a wire that runs through it, thus requiring an installation step where from the ends of the wire are connected the poles of an electrical resistance, followed by a short short for heating. After heating, the wire adheres to the wax surface, thus being welded to the plate by the action of heat caused by the short circuit.

Although relatively easy, a large electric discharge can melt the wax, making it impossible to stick, causing material damage. The conventional beeswax plate has the wells interleaved on both sides of its surface, which are separated by their closed bottoms. In the apiary the cocoons are filled with honey after the formation of the walls and the curing time when the bees seal the openings to protect their contents.

After filling the beeswax plate is transported to the industry, where the seals of the opening of the alveoli are removed and the honey will be drained. For removal, the plate is rotated clockwise in a centrifuge by draining honey from the alveoli of one of its surfaces, and then the plate is removed from the turned centrifuge and reinserted for the opposite direction and rotation. removing honey from the alveoli from the opposite surface. The removed honey is stored in a tank and taken to later industrial stages.

As noted, there is the structuring step with wire attached against the beeswax plate, risk of breakage during handling and transport. After removing the seal from the openings of the wells follow the turning steps, both clockwise and counterclockwise, care must be taken at the speed of the centrifuge so that the plates do not break.

PURPOSE PURPOSE The honey collecting plate in question, which is the reason for this patent application, avoids the structuring stage as it is injected in one-piece plastic material, with the symmetrically aligned alveoli opposite, in their hollow, tapered shape. This allows the bee to work by sealing the backs and building the walls after being coated with a thin layer of beeswax wax and then sealing the openings of these wells so that the plate is then transported without risk of breaking. up to the industry.

For the initial removal of honey, through a tool with parallel stems, the alveoli on both sides are simultaneously passed through, completing the flow in the centrifugal machine that will, by the system in question, only rotate in one direction and at high speed without possibility of breaking, thus ensuring the easy removal of the product, which is stored in a tank for the following industrial steps.

Superficially explained, the plate is further detailed by the accompanying drawings, as follows: Figure 1 - perspective view of the plate, the reason for this patent application;

In accordance with the accompanying drawings, the “BEE HONEY COLLECTION AND MANUFACTURING SYSTEM PLATE”, object of the present patent application, consists of a plate (1) made of plastic material and developed by mold design. , for the formation on their two surfaces of symmetrically aligned hexagonal alveoli (2) similar to those of a hive, as illustrated in particular by the sequence of Figures 1, 2 and 3.

Each of the alveoli (2) according to the design is symmetrically aligned with the opposite alveolum (2) and both have their hollow cone-shaped bottoms (3), as illustrated in particular by the sequence of figures 4 and 5.

Through this simplified construction for the plate (1) the honey manufacturing and collection system is obtained, when the bee seals the common bottoms (3) of the alveoli (2) symmetrically aligned and then begins the construction of the sidewalls, as shows the sequence of figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, until the sealing, also by the insect itself, of the openings of said alveoli (2) after curing time.

The plate (1) is then transported to the industry where a specific press-shaped tool (4) has its parallel rods (5) aligned which overlap each pair of symmetrically aligned alveoli (2) by their bottoms ( 3) tapered, hollow, as shown in the sequence of figure 10, and then removed, partially draining the honey. After partial removal, the plate (1) is brought to centrifuge (C), as shown in Figure 12, so that, in a single direction and at a high speed, remnants of honey retained in the alveoli (2) are completely removed.
