Description

  The present invention relates to a beekeeping smoke generator, and more particularly to a small and lightweight beekeeping smoke smoker that is easy to carry and smokes very easily.

  Strawberries are not self-pollinated, so strawberry farmers either pollinate by hand or pollinate with bees. Since pollination by human hands requires a lot of labor, a method of pollination using honey is adopted. Bees are raised in beekeeping boxes. Strawberry farmers use beekeeping boxes to raise bees. When the strawberry is pollinated, the farmer opens the beekeeping box and releases the bees into a house such as a vinyl house. When you open the lid or doorway of the beekeeping box, the bees go out all at once, but at this time the lid and the doorway are suddenly opened, so the bees can get excited and attack. This moment of opening the doorway must be handled with the greatest care.

  It is also necessary to open the lid of the beekeeping box to check whether there are any problems with the bees. At this time, as described above, the bees begin to make noise. To control the bee excitement, smokers are usually used.

  When bees are sprayed, they become quieter and easier to handle. Smoke from the smoker is sprayed at the same time as starting various operations. Start work when the honey is quiet.

  A smoke smoker is generally commercially available, a bellows is attached to a cylindrical body made of copper or stainless steel, and a triangular pyramid-shaped lid is attached to the upper end of the cylinder. Put the plant fuel such as hemp string, hemp bag, leaves, twigs, etc. into the inside of the cylinder and set it on fire. Then, smoke is blown from the smoke outlet. These commercially available smokers are bulky and heavy, and are cumbersome to handle. Regardless of whether they are professional beekeepers, ordinary farmers who wish to mate with bees are equipped with the smokers described above. There are many places that do not exist.

  In general strawberry farmers, people add a lit cigarette to their mouth, suck in the smoke of the cigarette, and blow the smoke that is sucked down to make the bees settle down. However, aside from whether or not to inhale, adding cigarettes to the mouth and igniting it, and blowing that smoke, will leave health concerns for smokers as well as smokers, Many people feel uncomfortable using cigarettes.

  The present invention has been developed from this point of view, and its purpose is small and lightweight, it can be easily carried and it is very easy to handle, and it can be an exceptionally uncomfortable feeling for both smokers and smokers. An object of the present invention is to provide a beekeeping smoke generator that can be used easily and without any problems.

Such purpose is the basic configuration of the invention, a small air pump consisting operable synthetic resin elastic material at the finger at one end, a first cylindrical body which is continuously provided to the air jet port of the air pump And at least one cigarette or cigarette-like fuel (hereinafter simply referred to as cigarette) inserted into the tip of the first cylinder, and the tip of the first cylinder It is effectively achieved by a simple beekeeping small smoker characterized in that the inner diameter of the part is made equal to the end diameter of the tobacco or the like .

  Furthermore, you may have the 2nd cylinder which can be externally fitted and detached | attached to the front-end | tip of the said 1st cylinder, and the internal diameter of the front-end | tip of the said 2nd cylinder is at least 1 or more cigarettes It is desirable that the end diameter is set. The first and second cylinders may be made of synthetic resin or metal.

  By providing the above-described configuration, the present invention is far healthier than a method in which smoke sucked by smoking or the like is blown onto the bees. That is, when the excited bees have to be calmed down, tobacco or the like is inserted into the tip of the first cylinder of the smoker according to the present invention. At this time, it is possible to ignite the cigarette in advance, but as described above, after inserting the cigarette into the tip of the first cylinder with the non-fired cigarette, bring the fire to the tip. If a small air pump made of a synthetic resin elastic body is lit and pressed / released with a fingertip, the cigarette can be lit.

  In addition, the smoker according to the present invention has a shape and structure that is not much different from a general tobacco pipe, so it can be easily carried, and its smoke operation is also inserted into the cylinder, Simply point the tip of a lit cigarette toward the doorway of the beekeeping box or into the beekeeping box with the lid open, and simply press and release the small air pump made of a synthetic resin elastic body with your fingertips. Thus, smoke can be sprayed from the tip of a cigarette or the like, and the excited bee swarm can be easily calmed down. During this smoke operation, tobacco is not added to the mouth, so there is no health hazard due to smoke.

Hereinafter, typical embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view seen from the front showing a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a simple small smoker 10 for beekeeping according to this embodiment includes a hollow ball-shaped air pump 11 made of a synthetic resin elastic body disposed at one end, and an air discharge port 11a of the air pump 11. And a slightly flexible synthetic resin cylinder portion 12 which is fixedly connected to the surface and has irregularities extending alternately in the circumferential direction on the surface, and a second airtightly fitted to the synthetic resin cylinder portion 12. 1 cylinder 13. The air pump 11 is formed with the air discharge port 11a and an air suction port 11b on the opposite side. Here, the cylindrical portion 12 made of synthetic resin is not necessarily required. For example, the first cylindrical body 13 may be directly connected to the air outlet 11a of the air pump 11 by bonding or the like.

  The air pump 11 is made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, and the synthetic resin cylinder 12 and the first cylinder 13 are made of thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and the like. The synthetic resin cylindrical portion 12 has higher rigidity than the first cylindrical body 13. The uneven portions formed in the axial direction extending alternately in the circumferential direction of the surface of the synthetic resin cylindrical portion 12 operate the air pump 11 with the fingertip during the smoking operation, so that it is also easy to support the air pump 11 with the fingertip. It is to do. In the present embodiment, a small-diameter fitting cylinder portion 12a for externally fixing and fixing the first cylinder 13 is provided at the tip of the synthetic resin cylinder portion 12 via a stepped portion.

  The inner diameter of the first cylinder 13 is equal to the diameter of a normal cigarette cigarette mouth, and when smoking, as shown in FIG. 2, the mouth of the cigarette 14 is airtightly inserted into the first cylinder 13. Used in. In the use, even if the cigarette 14 is lit in advance, or after the cigarette 14 is inserted into the first cylinder 13, the air pump 11 is repeatedly pressed and released with the fingertip to ignite the cigarette 14. Is also possible. When the cigarette 14 is ignited with an air pump, a part of a finger is applied to the air inlet 11b of the air pump 11 in advance, and the air is sent to the tip of the cigarette 14 by pressing gently.

  Here, although the cigarette with a filter is used in the illustrated example, of course, it may be a double-cut type cigarette, or a paper wrapped around finely chopped plant fuel such as rice husk or plant fiber instead of cigarette. It is also possible to use a fuel that is shaped like a cigarette.

  After the cigarette 14 is lit, when opening an entrance / exit of a beekeeping box (not shown), the tip of the cigarette 14 is directed to the entrance / exit, and the air pump 11 is repeatedly pressed / released with a fingertip. Also at this time, it is better to apply a part of the finger to the air inlet 11b of the air pump 11 during pressing. At the time of this pressing, the air in the pump is sent from the air discharge port 11a to the cigarette 14 via the synthetic resin cylinder 12 and the first cylinder 13, and simultaneously burns the cigarette 14 and exhales the smoke. Blow smoke at the doorway. This blown smoke will suddenly open the bee door of the beekeeping box, so that the excitement of the bees in the box will be cured and subdued, and will not attack people. This is because, for example, when the honey is collected, the inside of the beekeeping box or the state of the bee is inspected, when removing the nest foundation from the box, even when removing the lid (not shown), the tip of the cigarette 14 is placed in the box. Operate in the same way toward.

  Now, when the amount of smoke necessary for soot is insufficient, the second cylinder 15 may be prepared. The second cylinder 15 is also made of a synthetic resin material similar to that of the first cylinder 13, and is composed of a single cylinder. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner diameter of the second cylinder 15 includes two cigarettes 14. It is set to a dimension that can be inserted. The inner circumference of the second cylinder 15 may be formed in advance in an oval cross section so that the two cigarettes 14 can be inserted into the second cylinder 15 in an airtight manner. If two synthetic cigarettes 14 are selected, the second cylinder 15 itself is elastically deformed when the two cigarettes 14 are inserted into the second cylinder 15, so that the inner diameter of the two cigarettes 14 is closely related. I get used to it.

  According to the illustrated example, the second cylinder 15 is fitted to the outer diameter of the first cylinder 13 and supported and fixed to the first cylinder 13. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the first cylinder fitting opening 15 a of the second cylinder 15 is made to match the outer diameter of the first cylinder 13.

  4 to 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the first cylinder 13 and the second cylinder 15 are made of metal such as copper, aluminum, and stainless steel. Therefore, an external screw 13b is cut at a connection end of the first cylinder 13 with the second cylinder 15, and the first cylinder which is a connection end of the second cylinder 15 with the first cylinder 13 is cut. An internal screw 15c is cut in the body connection port 15b.

  Even in this embodiment, the synthetic resin cylinder 12 is provided between the air pump 11 and the first cylinder 13, and the end of the synthetic resin cylinder 12 is provided via a stepped portion. A small-diameter fitting cylinder portion 12a is projected. However, an outer screw 12a ′ is cut on the surface of the fitting cylinder portion 12a following the irregular surface, and an inner screw 13a is cut on the pump connection end of the first cylinder 13 to The screw 12a ′ and the inner screw 13a are screwed together. Thus, the connection between the synthetic resin cylindrical portion 12 and the first cylindrical body 13 and the connection between the first and second cylindrical bodies 13 and 15 cannot use elastic deformation as in the first embodiment. Since the degree of freedom is limited, at least the first cylindrical connection port 15b must be formed in a circular shape.

  On the other hand, the cigarette insertion port 15d of the second cylinder 15 has to insert two cigarettes 14 side by side, and the cigarette insertion port 15d of the second cylinder 15 and the first cylinder connection port 15b have different inner peripheral shapes. It is desirable to adopt an appropriate shape. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, an inner flange 15 e extending in the inner diameter direction is formed at the end of the second cylinder 15 on the first cylinder connection port 15 b side, and an inner screw 15 c is cut in the inner diameter portion. Yes. At this time, the inner diameter of the inner flange 15 e is a dimension to be screwed with the outer screw 13 b of the first cylinder 13. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the inner peripheral section of the cigarette insertion port 15d of the second cylindrical body 15 is also circular, and it is possible to forcibly insert two cigarettes arranged there, or the inner circumference Although it is possible to deform the cigarette buns arranged in line with the cross section into a circle in advance, the insertion operation becomes complicated in any case.

  FIG. 5 shows a modification of the second embodiment. In this modification, as shown in the figure, the first cylinder of the second cylinder 15 is arranged so that the two cigarettes 14 can be easily inserted side by side on the inner circumferential section of the cigarette insertion port 15c of the second cylinder 15. The cross section of the connection end with the body 13 is formed into a circular cross section as in the first embodiment, and the cigarette insertion port 15c is flatly plastically deformed to form an oval shape. If deformed in this way, two cigarettes 14 can be easily inserted one by one. However, in this case, there is a concern that a slight gap is formed between the two cigarettes 14 and the smoke is not efficiently blown out. Therefore, in the modified example shown in FIG. 5, in order to insert two more cigarettes 14 in an airtight state, the shape of the insertion port can be formed in a bowl shape as shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the simple small smoker 10 for beekeeping according to the present invention, since it has a simple structure and is extremely small and light, not only during beekeeping work but also normal mating work for fruit cultivation. It can be carried without any sense of incongruity at the start, and the smoke work can be done quickly by simply inserting the lit cigarette into the cigarette insertion port of the first cylinder 13 and / or the second cylinder 15. Move on. In addition, the smoke device according to the present invention is not bulky and heavy, unlike a commercially available smoke device, and it is easy to work without taking time and effort for fuel collection, fuel ignition, etc. Can start.

  In the present invention, since the fuel used for soot is cigarette or cigarette-like fuel, it is easy to obtain and easily ignite, and can be ignited without the operator directly inhaling the cigarette smoke. It is. Therefore, as a matter of course for smokers, even if they are smokers, there are almost no adverse health effects due to their handling, and there is no sense of incongruity in their handling, and smoke work can be performed with peace of mind. In addition, the amount of smoke sprayed on the bees during the smoke work can be adjusted by whether or not the second cylinder 15 is used.

  The present invention is effective not only for strawberry farmers but also for checking and managing work such as beekeeping work from beekeeping boxes, bee breeding work, and nest foundations in beekeeping boxes during mating work of general fruit growing farmers. It can also be used as a breeding tool for general bee lovers.
