Abstract

Honey self-extracting beehive, which is constituted from a prismatic-rectangular body with its corresponding lid, is characterized in that the combs are constituted, in each case, by two independent parts or pieces, arranged in parallel and close to each other, between which an artificial panel is mounted as a separator of both parts and halves, to separate the bees from each one of them and to avoid the obstruction of the holes in which the honey is deposited; with the particularity that between the two halves of each honeycomb there is provided a lower tube for collecting the honey, which ends in a duct with an outlet for collecting the honey in an external container.

Description

Self-extracting hive from honey.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a hive self-extracting honey, which presents a series of internal peculiarities that allow to carry out a direct and automatic collection of honey without the intervention of colmenero, thereby avoiding any contamination of the honey and better conservation in its pure state.

Background of the invention

Beehives, usually consisting of a kind of prismatic-rectangular box, in whose interior are arranged the corresponding elements that have to constitute honeycombs, require great effort and the use of a wide variety of machinery to carry out the honey extraction operation, all of which carries about high costs, as well as the machinery to carry out the extraction, large labor is required to be able to finish the process.

Today the extraction of honey from beehives supposes a manual work practically almost in its totality, which means:

-

A High work effort.

-

Loss of a high number of bees, as a result of possible robberies, crushing, by disposal of honeycombs, etc.

-

Transportation of a large number of Gadgets required for honey extraction, not being always the same and wasting time and raised the hand of work.

-

Reduction of the total benefit of colmenero as a result of what is stated in the points previous.

Description of the invention

The hive that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a Simple solution but very effective.

More specifically, the hive of the invention, constituting from a rectangular prismatic body as of box with a lid, presents the particularity that corresponding honeycombs are constituted, in each case, by two independent pieces, arranged next and parallel to each other, and among which an artificial panel is interspersed, whose purpose is to close and cover the internal holes of the inside the honeycomb formed by the two parts or pieces, so such that when the beekeeper wishes to collect or extract of honey, it will be enough to extract that intermediate artificial panel, so that honey is accessed by gravity and between both parties or pieces of the honeycomb, towards the bottom of these, where it is established a pipe or collection pipe that leads to a lower module provided transversely to the honeycombs, in the own hive bottom, so that this lower module it has a honey duct, which is collected in a container, through appropriate means, such as through a sleeve or any other evacuation element of the Honey to the collection container.

This honeycomb system prevents direct contact of honey by the beekeeper, so that the conservation of This will be in its purest form.

Another advantage is that the extraction of honey is performs directly, that is automatically, with a minimum intervention of the beekeeper, since this only intervenes in the extraction of artificial panels that act as elements separators of the two parts that constitute each honeycomb.

The system also prevents the loss of bees, since the intervention of the beekeeper is not necessary, nor that of machinery of any kind.

It allows to carry out the extraction of honey in less time than conventionally required.

On the other hand, the body is expected to hive drawer mode include adjustable lower legs in height, which allow the arrangement and assembly of the hive in anywhere, regardless of the terrain orography.

As a result of using the panel artificial intermediate between the two parts that constitute the honeycomb, the bees are separated on either side, without mixing each other, and therefore preventing them from carrying out a capping of the inner opening of the honeycomb.

Another feature that presents the hive of the invention is that an electric blanket is included in its bottom conveniently fed through network, to regulate, by way home automation, the ideal temperature inside the hive, provided for this in one of the side walls of the body of the hive an electrical outlet.

It is also planned on both sides of the hive one level to allow the installation of the hive itself to level with the ground.

Finally, it will include motion sensors that by home automation will warn of possible theft or presence of animals.

Obviously the beekeeper may distribute the honeycombs in the way that suits you, when carrying out Honey extraction

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation in perspective of the hive of the invention, with its lid in position semi-open, and lacking inner honeycombs.

Figure 2.- Shows an elevation view back of the same hive represented in the figure previous.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view with section of the hive of the invention, showing one of the honeycombs

Figure 4.- Shows another view like that of the previous figure, and in this case sectioned by a plane perpendicular to the one shown in the section of the previous figure.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the hive of the invention is constituted by a body prismatic-rectangular (1) as a box, with its corresponding closing cover (2), all as conventional, counting on legs (3) adjustable in height to allow mounting from the hive anywhere and get proper leveling of it, whatever the terrain orography, including also a power outlet (4) for commissioning of an electric blanket (5) that allows to maintain a temperature appropriate inside the hive, having been foreseen in the back side windows (6) through which they will access the corresponding bees, for entry and exit of the hive.

Each honeycomb will consist of two parts or halves (7), provided on a frame (8) in each case, so that these two halves or parts (7) are arranged parallel to each other with a slight distance, allowing the introduction of a artificial panel (10) which is conveniently guided between the two halves (7), separating both and thus closing inwards the holes of the honeycomb halves (7), thus isolating the bees from one side to the other, and the artificial panel (10) being removable by the beekeeper each time it is desired to extract the honey, which will fall by gravity towards a lower conduction (11) established between both halves (7), so that that honey through the conduction ( 11) access a collection channel (12) established at the bottom, with an outlet (13) provided on the bottom itself, to which a hose or any other appropriate element will be attached that will allow, through it, to collect honey in a bowl Intended to
effect.

Therefore, it is a beehive that in based on the characteristics referred to, and the heat provided by the electric blanket (5) and by the gravity collection of honey, makes the honey extraction operation be done with efficiency and in less time than conventionally required, with the peculiarity that both in regards to transport as to the placement of the different honeycombs inside the beehive, it will adapt perfectly to the beekeeper without having to Modify machinery or vehicles.

Finally say that the hive includes a home automation installed in it that shows in real time the amount of honey extracted, as well as the weight that the hive acquires, the temperature of the environment, allowing telephone notices of attempted robbery or loitering of animals around one's own hive.
