Description

  The present invention relates to the opening and closing structure of a ventilation window and a gate of a honeycomb box.

  Beekeeping to obtain honey using bees has been carried out using a group of tens of thousands of animals centered on the queen bee, but in recent years there has been a need for honeybees to pollinate even in the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, etc. It is being used. The method is generally to shoot thousands of bees into the house and pollinate them for pollination during the insect free period.

  Therefore, hiveboxes for housing and rearing bees play the role of a container for transport when beekeepers supply bees to house growers, and rearing bees in the house and nesting in the nest splenic cage inside Role is required.

  By the way, in order to keep the breeding conditions of bees in good condition, it is known that it is very important to keep the temperature in the hive box constant, especially during transportation, the temperature in the hive box rises more than necessary. Sufficient ventilation should be provided to prevent bees from being killed.

  Conventionally, ventilating windows are provided in a side plate portion of a nest box formed in a box body to ventilate the nest box, for example, a ventilation window provided with a door that can be opened and closed like the nest box described in Patent Document 1 What is provided is known.

  However, in this case, the opening and closing of the nest gate is performed by a separately provided slide mechanism, and the opening and closing of the ventilation window and the opening and closing of the nest gate must be performed separately, which makes the operation complicated.

  Therefore, in the nest box described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the nest gate is closed when the vent window is opened and the vent window is closed when the nest gate is opened so that the vent window and the nest gate can be simultaneously opened and closed. A sliding lid member is provided.

  By the way, in these nest boxes, due to its structure, the place opened by the ventilation window is biased to either the left or right or the upper or lower side plate. For example, in the case of the nest box described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the vent window is fully opened when the lid member is lowered to the lowermost position, but the lid member itself prevents the vent window from being opened at the lower portion of the side plate, The location opened by the vent window was only above the half of the side plate. Therefore, air staying in the upper part of the nest box is preferentially ventilated, and it is difficult to ventilate the inside of the box evenly.

  Furthermore, when trying to increase the opening area of the ventilation window in these nest boxes, the length of one side of the ventilation window becomes long, and hence the stroke (moving distance of the lid member) in opening and closing the ventilation window becomes long. . As described above, if it takes a long time to open and close the ventilation window or nest gate because the stroke accompanying the opening and closing work takes a long time, it takes time and labor to open and close a plurality of nest boxes at the same time. The risk of being bitten by bees also increases.

  Therefore, the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional vent box and opening and closing structure of the nest box, and can widely open the box by providing a wide opening of the vent window, the vent window and the nest gate. It is an object of the present invention to provide an open / close structure of a honeycomb box and an open gate of a honeycomb box which can be easily opened and closed.

  The present invention solves the above problems, and is an open / close structure of a vent window and a nest gate provided on a side plate of a honeycomb box, wherein a plurality of vent windows and a single nest gate are provided at the same position. And a back plate, a slide member interposed between the top plate and the back plate so as to be reciprocable in a predetermined direction, and a mesh body sealingly sealing the opening of the ventilation window. The slide member is provided with ventilation openings at positions corresponding to the ventilation windows of the front and back plates when the slide member is in a predetermined position, and both the ventilation openings of the front and back plates and the ventilation openings of the slide member are slide members The venting window opens when the sliding member is moved along the moving direction of the sliding member so that the positions of the venting window and the venting opening coincide with each other, and the sliding member is moved to locate the venting window and the venting opening. Vented when it was alternate When the sliding member is moved to the open position and the vent window is opened, a part of the slide member closes the nest, and the vent opening is opened when the slide member is moved to the closed position. It is an opening and closing structure of a window and a nest gate.

  The opening and closing structure of the vent box and nest gate of the honeycomb box according to the present invention can widely provide the opening of the vent window by forming a plurality of vent windows which can be opened and closed by the slide member along the moving direction of the slide member. This can effectively ventilate the nest box.

  In addition, the opening and closing structure of the vent window and nest gate of the honeycomb box according to the present invention has a plurality of vent windows formed along the moving direction of the slide member, thereby shortening the opening and closing work of the vent window and nest gate by the slide member. Thus, the time for opening and closing can be shortened.

  Further, in the opening and closing structure of the ventilation window and the nest gate of the honeycomb box according to the present invention, the ventilation window and the ventilation opening are the sides forming the ventilation window and the ventilation opening, which are opposite in the moving direction of the slide member. In the case of an inclined straight or curved shape in which the center side has a width greater than that of both sides, the opposite sides of the ventilation window and the ventilation opening do not get caught on each other, and the slide member is smoothly reciprocated. be able to.

Further, an opening 24 for inserting the knob portion 35 of the opening / closing portion 3 is formed above the nest gate 23.

  In the present embodiment, a total of six ventilation windows 22 of the front plate 2 are provided in three vertical rows and two horizontal rows, but a plurality of two or more vertical tiers are provided in the moving direction of the slide member 34. It is more preferable to provide three to five vertical stages. Further, the ventilation windows 22 do not necessarily have to be provided in a plurality of rows laterally, and may be in a single row. When the moving direction of the slide member 34 is the lateral direction, the ventilation windows 22 may be provided in a plurality of rows in the lateral direction which is the moving direction of the slide member 34.

  There is no particular restriction on the position at which the vent windows 22 are provided in the front panel 2, but the spacing (height H 1) of the vent windows 22 in the height direction is the opening dimension of the vent windows 22 It is formed to be equal to or wider than the height H2).

  The nest gate 23 provided below the ventilation window 22 is formed in a size and shape that allows bees to enter and leave. Further, the opening 24 above the venting window 22 is formed in a rectangular shape extending in parallel with the moving direction of the slide member 34, and the knob portion 35 of the slide member 34 can be inserted into the opening. Allow reciprocating movement of the part 35. Further, from the upper end of the opening 24, the locking groove 25 is branched and extended in one direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the opening 24.

  Next, the back plate 5 of this embodiment will be described. The back plate 5 is a member constituting the innermost portion of the side plate 1 of the honeycomb box, and a plurality of ventilation windows 52 are bored in one flat plate-like main body 51, and a nest gate 53 is bored thereunder. It is done.

  The ventilation window 52 of the back plate 5 is provided at a position corresponding to the ventilation window 22 of the front plate 2. That is, in the present embodiment, a total of six ventilating windows 52 of the back plate 5 are provided in three rows vertically and in two rows horizontally, along the longitudinal direction which is the moving direction of the slide member 34 described later. A plurality of two or more stages may be provided, and it is more preferable to provide three to five vertical stages. Further, the ventilation windows 32 do not necessarily have to be provided in a plurality of rows laterally, and may be in a single row. When the moving direction of the slide member 34 is the lateral direction, the ventilation windows 32 may be provided in a plurality of rows in the lateral direction which is the moving direction of the slide member 34.

  The position at which the venting window 52 is provided in the back plate 5 is not particularly limited as long as it corresponds to the venting window 22 of the front plate 2, but the spacing between the venting windows 52 in the height direction is not limited. The height H1 is formed to be the same as or larger than the opening size (height H2) of the ventilation window 52.

  The nest gate 53 provided below the ventilation window 52 is formed at a position corresponding to the nest gate 23 of the front plate 2 so as to allow the bees to enter and exit.

  Between the top plate 2 and the back plate 5, an opening / closing portion 3 and a screen window plate 4 are provided in a sandwich-like manner. That is, in the side plate 1 of this embodiment, members adjacent to each other by means such as adhesion are excluded from the slide member 34 so that the front plate 2, the opening / closing unit 3, the mesh window plate 4 and the back plate 5 are laminated in this order. It is fixed to each other. Hereinafter, the configuration of the opening / closing unit 3 will be described.

  The opening / closing unit 3 includes a frame member 31 and a slide member 34 slidably provided in the opening 33 of the frame member 31. The frame member 31 has an opening 33 of an inner dimension longer in the moving direction of the slide member than the outer dimension of the slide member, and a recess 331 is formed at the lower end of the opening 33 so as to be recessed downward. The recessed portion 331 is provided at a position corresponding to the nest gates 23 and 53, and is formed to have an opening size larger than the opening size of the nest gates 23 and 53 at least.

  The slide member 34 is formed so as to be shorter in the moving direction than the inner dimension of the opening 33 of the frame member 31 in its outer dimension, and the difference between the inner dimension of the opening 33 and the outer dimension of the slide member 34 There is room for the slide member 34 to move back and forth in the longitudinal direction. The opening / closing portion 3 is sandwiched between the front plate 2 and the screen 4, but the slide member 34 is not fixed to either the front plate 2 or the screen 4, so the opening is opened. It can move up and down within the allowable range of 33. Further, a convex portion 341 protrudes downward from the lower end of the slide member 34, and is fitted into the concave portion 331 when the slide member 34 is positioned at the lowermost position.

  Ventilation openings 32 are formed in the slide member 34 at positions corresponding to the ventilation windows 22 of the front plate 2 and the ventilation windows 52 of the back plate 5 when the slide member 34 is in a predetermined position. In the present embodiment, the ventilation openings 32 are provided at positions corresponding to the ventilation windows 22 of the front plate 2 and the ventilation windows 52 of the back plate 5 when the slide member 34 is positioned at the lowermost position.

  Further, a knob portion 35 is provided on the top of the slide member 34 so as to protrude toward the surface plate 2 side. The knob portion 35 is inserted into a groove 36 formed horizontally in the upper portion of the slide member 34, and is formed to be movable leftward and rightward in the groove 36.

  Next, the screen 4 provided so as to be sandwiched between the back plate 5 and the opening / closing portion 3 will be described. In the screen window plate 4, a plurality of screen windows 42 are bored in one flat plate-like main body 41, and a nest gate 43 is bored below the screen windows. The mesh window 42 has an opening of the same size and shape as the ventilation window 22 of the front plate 2 and the ventilation window 52 of the back plate 5 and is sealed so as to be breathable by applying a mesh having a mesh which can not pass through bees. doing.

  The mesh windows 42 of the mesh window 4 are provided at positions corresponding to the ventilation windows 22 of the front panel 2 and the ventilation windows 52 of the back panel 5. That is, in the present embodiment, the screen window 42 of the screen window plate 4 is provided with a total of six vertical three stages and two horizontal rows. However, a plurality of such mesh windows 42 need not necessarily be provided at positions corresponding to the ventilation windows 22 and 52, and one mesh window 42 may be provided within a range where the ventilation windows 22 and 52 can be covered collectively.

  The nest gate 43 provided below the screen window 42 is provided at a position corresponding to the nest gate 23 of the front plate 2 and the nest gate 53 of the back plate 5 and has a size and shape that allows bees to enter and exit. It is formed.

  In addition, regarding the mesh window plate 4 which comprises the side plate 1, this may be abbreviate | omitted, and a net body is directly stuck to either the ventilation window 22 of the front plate 2 or the ventilation window 52 of the back plate 5 instead. It can also be a window. For example, the screen plate 4 may be omitted, and the screen plate may be used as the screen window plate 4 by attaching the screen body directly to the ventilation window 52 of the back plate 5 to form a screen window.

  Next, the function of the opening and closing structure of the nest gate and vent window of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 2 is a front view in a state in which the respective members of the side plate 1 are assembled. In such a state, the side plate 1 constitutes the side surface of the honeycomb box, but other components of the nest box are not shown in the figure and will not be shown.

  FIG. 2 shows a state where the vent window is opened and the nest gate is closed. Generally, when the hive is transported, the vent window is open and the hive closed. In this state, the slide member 34 is located at the lowest position in the opening 33 of the frame member 31. When the slide member 34 is thus positioned at the lowermost position, the ventilation openings 32 of the slide member 34 are the ventilation windows 22 of the front plate 2, the ventilation windows 52 of the back plate 5, and the mesh windows 42 of the mesh window 4. To communicate in line with the position, the series of venting windows is maintained open (but the mesh windows 42 prevent honey bees from entering and leaving).

  In addition, since the slide member 34 is positioned at the lowermost position in this manner, the convex portion 341 of the slide member 34 is fitted into the concave portion 331 of the opening / closing portion 3, and thus the nest gate provided at substantially the same position as the concave portion 331 23 is in a state of being closed by the convex portion 341. This makes it impossible for bees to enter and leave the hive.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the vent window is closed and the nest is open. Generally, when installing the hives in a vinyl house or the like, as described above, the ventilation windows are closed and used with the hirs open. In such a state, the slide member 34 is located at the highest position in the opening 33 of the frame member 31. When the slide member 34 is thus positioned at the uppermost position, the position of the ventilation opening 32 of the slide member 34 corresponds to the ventilation window 22 of the front plate 2, the ventilation window 52 of the back plate 5, and the mesh window of the mesh window 4. It alternates with the 42 positions.

  Thus, when the positions of the ventilation openings 32 of the slide member 34 alternate with the positions of the ventilation windows 22 of the front plate 2, the ventilation windows 52 of the back plate 5, and the mesh windows 42 of the mesh window 4, the ventilation windows 22 and 52, since the mesh window 42 is located between the vent openings 32 provided in multiple tiers, the vent windows 22 and 52 may be closed by a part of the slide member 34 as a result. Become.

  Further, as the slide member 34 is positioned at the uppermost position in this manner, the convex portion 341 of the slide member 34 fitted in the concave portion 331 of the opening / closing portion 3 in the state of FIG. 2 moves upward and the concave portion 331 opens. Therefore, the nest gate 23 provided substantially at the same position as the recess 331 communicates with the nest gates 23, 43, 53 of the other members and is in an open state. This makes it possible to get in and out of the bee hive.

  In order to shift to the state of FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, it is necessary to pull up the slide member 34, but in such work, the knob portion 35 protruding forward from the opening 24 of the front plate 2 is held with a finger. You can pull it up inside. Then, after the knob portion 35 is pulled up to the uppermost portion in the opening 24, the knob portion 35 is engaged in the engagement groove 25 by sliding movement to the lateral engagement groove 25, and the slide member 34 is at the uppermost position. It can be fixed. Then, in order to shift to the state of FIG. 3 and FIG. 2, the locking of the knob portion 35 in the locking groove 25 may be released in the reverse procedure described above, and the slide member 34 may be pulled down.

  As described above, in the opening and closing structure of the ventilation window and the nest gate of the honeycomb box of the present invention, the stroke associated with the opening and closing operation of the slide member 34 (see FIG. As the moving distance X) of 3 becomes short, it is possible to shorten the opening and closing time of the nest and the ventilation window.

  In addition, in the above embodiment, although the shape of the ventilation window, the mesh window, and the nest gate is formed in a rectangular shape, the shape of the opening is not limited to this and may be a circle, an ellipse, a polygon or the like. In particular, the ventilation windows and the side portions forming the ventilation openings, which are opposite in the moving direction of the slide member (the upper side and the lower side in the present embodiment) are not provided in parallel in a straight line. It is preferable to form in the shape of a straight line or a curve inclined so that the center side of the ventilation opening may bulge out. Thus, when the slide member 34 is moved up and down by making the upper side and the lower side forming the venting window and the venting opening inclined straight or curved so that the central portion bulges, the venting opening 32 and the venting can be ventilated. It is possible to prevent the opposite sides of the window 22 (for example, the lower side of the ventilation opening 32 and the upper side of the ventilation window 22) from being caught on each other. Such hooking of the opposite sides of the ventilation window and the ventilation opening is likely to occur particularly when the side plate is warped due to moisture absorption in the nest box.

  FIG. 4 shows a different embodiment of the opening and closing structure of the ventilation window and the nest gate of the cell box of the present invention. In this embodiment, the ventilation windows 22 and 52 and the ventilation windows 32 are provided in three horizontal rows, of which the two right and left rows are each provided in three vertical rows and the central one row is provided in two vertical rows, for a total of eight. ing. And the opening shape of the ventilation window and the ventilation opening of the present embodiment is formed in a hexagonal shape, and the upper side and the lower side of the opening are formed in a straight line of inclined mountain and valley shapes so that the central portion bulges. It is done. As described above, by forming the opening shapes of the ventilation windows 22 and 52 and the ventilation opening 32 so that the central portion bulges out, the upper and lower sides of the ventilation window 22 and the ventilation opening 32 do not get caught with each other, and thus smooth. The slide member 34 can be moved up and down.

  In addition to the locking groove 25 extending from the upper end of the opening 24 of the front plate 2, the locking groove 26 extends in the opposite direction from the lower end of the opening 24 in this embodiment. Provided in By inserting the knob portion 35 of the slide member 34 into the locking groove 26, the slide member 34 can be fixed in the lowermost position.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the locking grooves 25 and 26 may be formed by cutting out locking recesses 251 and 261 which can receive the knob portion 35 on the tip end side. By housing the knob portion 35 inserted into the locking grooves 25 and 26 in the locking recesses 251 and 261, it is possible to prevent the knob portion 35 from being erroneously returned into the opening 24 due to vibration during movement or the like. . The knob portion 35 of the present embodiment is also formed into a substantially V-shape by being formed of an elastic material so as to ensure more reliable locking with the locking recesses 251 and 261, and the bent portion protrudes forward The preferred embodiment is as follows. The bent portion is further bent by holding the substantially V-shaped knob portion 35 so as to crush it from above and below, and the substantially V-shape is deformed into a plate shape. In this state, the knob portion 35 is inserted into the locking groove 25 or 26, and when the knob portion 35 reaches the position of the locking recess 251 or 261, the plate-like portion is substantially V-shaped by releasing the held finger. It elastically returns to a letter shape and is locked in the locking recess 251 (or 261) as shown in FIG. The material of the knob portion 35 is not particularly limited as long as it has a certain elasticity, but synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene and polyethylene, rubber, and metals such as aluminum can be suitably used.

  FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the construction of another embodiment of the opening / closing structure of the ventilation window and nest gate of the cell box according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, the opening / closing portion 3 is configured only by the slide member 34 without being accompanied by the frame member 31. Specifically, the slide member 34 is formed so that the outer size (height in this embodiment) in the moving direction is shorter with respect to the front plate 2 and the back plate 5, while the outer size in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction (In the present embodiment, the horizontal width) is formed substantially the same as the front plate 2 and the back plate 3. The slide member 34 is sandwiched between the front plate 2 and the back plate 5 and is not fixed to either of them. Therefore, the slide member 34 moves up and down by the difference in length between the front plate 2 and the back plate 5. It is possible. In addition, since the slide member 34 is formed to have substantially the same width as the front plate 2 and the back plate 3, there is no possibility that the position will be shaken in the vertical movement, so that the frame member 31 reciprocates its movement. There is no need to regulate.

    In the present embodiment, the ventilation windows 22 and 52 and the ventilation openings 32 are provided in three vertical rows and three horizontal rows, but in the center thereof the openings 24 instead of the ventilation windows 22 and the ventilation openings 32 A knob 35 is provided instead. The knob portion 35 is formed to be movable left and right in the groove portion 36. By providing the knob portion 35 substantially at the center of the slide member 34 as in this embodiment, the knob portion 35 and the periphery of the groove portion 36 are provided. It is possible to further improve the strength.

    Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the ventilation window 52 is air-permeablely sealed by directly attaching the mesh body 44 to the back plate 5 without providing the mesh window plate 4. The mesh body 44 is formed of a single mesh sheet which is sized and shaped so as to cover the entire area of the back plate 5 where the ventilation windows 52 are formed.

  The method of operating the opening and closing structure of the ventilation window and nest gate of the honeycomb box of the present embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment (FIG. 1). That is, the slide member 34 can be moved up and down by holding the knob portion 35 protruding from the opening 24 of the front plate 2 with a finger and moving it up and down in the opening 24. When the slide member 34 is fixed at the uppermost position, the knob portion 35 may be moved and locked in the locking groove 25 extending horizontally from the upper end of the opening 24 and fixed at the lowermost position. In this case, the knob 35 may be moved and locked in the locking groove 26 extending horizontally from the lower end of the opening 24.

  When the slide member 34 of this embodiment is at the lowermost position, the venting windows 22 and 52 communicate with the venting opening 32, and the series of venting windows is in an open state. On the other hand, the nest gates 23 and 53 are closed by the lower part of the slide member 34. Conversely, when the slide member 34 is at the uppermost position, the ventilation windows 22 and 52 and the ventilation openings 32 alternate with each other, so the ventilation windows 22 and 52 are blocked by a part of the slide member 34. There is. On the other hand, since the lower part of the slide member 34 does not reach the nest gates 23 and 53, there is nothing to block the opening, and the nest gates 23 and 53 are in the open state.

  FIG. 6 (a) is a front view showing the configuration of still another embodiment of the opening and closing structure of the ventilation window and nest gate of the honeycomb box according to the present invention. In the front plate 2 of this embodiment, a substantially rhombic venting window 22 radially formed in four directions from the centering portion 27, an opening 24 provided at the top of the venting window 22, and the venting window 22. And the nest gate 23 provided at the bottom of the The opening 24 is formed in an arc shape so as to extend in parallel with the moving direction (rotational direction) of the slide member 34, and locking grooves 25 and 26 extend downward from the both ends orthogonal to the extending direction of the opening 24. It is branched.

  FIG. 6 (b) is a front view of the opening / closing unit 3 in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the open / close unit 3 of this embodiment includes a slide member 34 formed in a circular shape, a convex portion 342 projecting upward from the peripheral edge of the slide member 34, and a convex from the peripheral edge of the slide member 34 And a downwardly projecting portion 343 opposite to the portion 342. In the slide member 34, a substantially fan-shaped ventilation opening 32 radially formed in four directions from the center of the detent portion 37 is formed, and in the convex portion 342, a groove 36 is formed in the radial direction of the slide member 34. In the groove 36, the knob 35 is movably provided. In addition, on the lower left side of the convex portion 343, a nest opening 344 is formed.

  The nest box side plate of the present embodiment includes a back plate 5 (not shown) in addition to the above-described top plate 2 and the opening / closing unit 3. The back plate 5 is formed in the same manner as the front plate 2 except that the opening 24 and the locking grooves 25 and 26 are not provided, and the mesh 44 directly seals the ventilation window 52 so as to allow ventilation. It is attached. Furthermore, the slide member 34 is rotatably supported by the detent portion 27 of the front plate 2 at the detent portion 37, and the knob portion 35 is in the opening 24 (in the retaining groove 25 or 26 in the retaining state) It has been inserted into the

  The functions of the opening and closing structure of the nest gate and the ventilation window of the honeycomb box of the present embodiment are as follows. By reciprocating the knob portion 35 of the slide member 34 within the arc-shaped opening 24, the slide member 34 can be reciprocated (rotated) within a certain range around the detent 37. In the state of FIG. 6A, the knob portion 35 is locked in the locking groove 25. In this state, the vent opening 32 of the slide member 34 is the vent window 22 of the front plate 2, The series of vent windows are maintained in an open state (but the net body 44 prevents the entry and exit of honeybees) in order to communicate in line with the position of the vent windows 52 of the back plate 5. Further, since the nest opening 344 of the opening / closing part 3 is shifted from the position of the nest 23, the nest 23 is closed by the convex part 343.

  In order to open the nest gate 23 from the state of FIG. 6 (a) and close the series of ventilation windows, first, the knob portion 35 is moved to the opening 24 side, and the inside of the opening 24 is moved to the left as it is Let With the movement of the knob portion 35, the slide member 34 rotates counterclockwise around the pivoting portion 37. Then, after the knob portion 35 reaches the left end of the opening 24, it is moved into the locking groove 26 and locked to the locking groove 26. In this state, since the ventilation openings 32 of the slide member 34 are alternately located between the ventilation windows 22 of the front plate 2 and the ventilation windows 52 of the back plate 5, the series of ventilation windows is a part of the slide member 34. It is in the closed state by On the other hand, since the position of the nest opening 344 coincides with the nest 23, the nest 23 is in an open state.

  The material of the front plate 2, the opening / closing portion 3, the screen window plate 4 and the back plate 5 constituting the opening and closing structure of the ventilation box and nest gate of the present invention is light weight and heat retaining material such as cardboard, It is preferable to form with synthetic resin, such as a cardboard, a hardboard, a particle board, etc., and a polystyrene foam. Among these, in terms of economy, it is particularly preferable to use cardboard or polystyrene foam.
