Description

Beehive monitoring device with attached weighing unit and its method {MONITORING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR BEEHIVE HAVING ATTACHING TYPE WEIGHTING MEASURING PART}

The present invention relates to a monitoring device and a method for monitoring the change in weight caused by the growth and collection activity of bees in the hive, and more particularly, the amount of change in the weight of the honey stored in the hive by the fire protection activity of the honey bee The present invention relates to a beehive monitoring device and a method for attaching a weighing unit to accurately determine a harvesting time by analyzing a weight data collected and analyzing the collected weight data.

In general, beekeeping is a human bee breeding for economic purposes in order to obtain a variety of products such as honey, pollen, royal jelly, etc. The beehives used for beekeeping is inserted into a rectangular beehive that is provided in a substantially hollow shape and opened and closed by a lid. This honeycomb is provided with a number of possible honeycombs.

In addition, the front of the hive is provided with a door for the bees to enter and exit, and the bees enter and exit through the entrance of the hive, find the flowers in the radius of action, collect the flower honey in the flowers, and store them in the beehives in the beehives in the hive In the process, the honey was collected by humans to obtain honey.

The honeybees will increase the weight of the honeycomb depending on the amount of honey stored in the hive, and if the weight exceeds a certain level, the honeycomb will be collected by artificially collecting the honey stored in the hive.

However, in the conventional honeycomb, since there is no separate means for measuring the weight change of the honeycomb in real time, it is impossible to accurately determine the time of harvesting, and as a result, it does not increase the yield of honey by missing the proper harvesting time. There is a problem.

In the case of the conventional weighing device, as a separate structure for placing a beehive on the device, not only individual attention is required when the beehive is moved, but also a strong wind or a shake occurs during management, which adversely affects the growth of the bee. There is a problem.

In addition, the conventional weighing device is a structure in which a load cell located at the center of the structure supports a scale plate on the upper side and a beekeeper rises on it, so that the top of the weighing device and the beehive are floating on the load cell. Due to the structural problem, the hive vibrates due to pendulum movement, which gives honey bees irritation and stress and adversely affects growth.

In addition, the stimulation caused by vibration increases the aggression of the bee sensitive to vibration, which poses a great risk to the worker, and also has the disadvantage of increasing the cost of manufacturing it due to the large weight of the weighing unit. Because of its structure, it is necessary to disassemble and assemble with the sensor panel, so the help of an electrician is essential.

The object of the present invention devised in view of the above, the beehive is provided with an attached weighing unit that can increase the productivity of the beekeeping industry by monitoring the weight change of the beehive to determine the precise timing of the beekeeper A monitoring device and a method thereof are provided.

Breeding weights are a useful indicator of the timing of harvesting and watertightness. In addition, the weight of the breeding shows the extent of the growth activity, it can be an important reference for guessing the forces of the entire army.

Rapid changes in weight are also useful indicators for emergencies such as the occurrence of dobongs or invasion of external wildlife. In particular, bee farms have a direct impact on productivity, such as the timing of harvesting and the amount of water, the determination of the timing of harvesting, and the decision of feed input after harvesting.

When the beekeeper is fixed on the scale of the electronic balance applied to the current smart beekeeping system, it is confirmed that continuous shaking occurs before, after, left and right by wind or minute manipulation.

The shaking occurs because the balance plate and the load cell in the center of the electronic scale, which correspond to one point, are not able to stably support the beekeeper with a large area of connection.

The shaking of the scale plate means that the beekeeper shakes, which may adversely affect the growth environment of the bees that should be stable due to the beekeepers, which may stress the bees and increase the aggression of the bees, which may pose a danger to worker safety. have.

For this reason, the development of a breeding weight measuring device that can prevent shaking is very important because it keeps the growth environment related to shaking as usual and simultaneously measures the weight change in breeding.

Hereinafter, a monitoring device and a method of a honey container with an attached weighing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is an operation diagram sequentially describing a monitoring method of a honey container.

As shown in these figures, the beehive monitoring device with an attached weighing unit according to the present invention includes a beehive 100; A weight measuring unit 200 configured to measure the weight of the beehive 100 while being seated at the lower rear to serve as a lower supporter of the beehive 100; A load cell 220 mounted inside the weighing unit 200 to measure the weight; A plurality of sensing boards 500 for sensing information on the weight data measured by the load cell 220; A gateway embedded 600 for collecting and storing information sensed by the plurality of sensing boards 500; The gateway embedded 600 is configured to include a main server 700 for receiving data collected and stored at regular intervals to aggregate the data.

The beehive 100 has a structure in which a plurality of honeycombs that are inserted into and out of a rectangular beehive formed in a box shape and opened and closed by a lid are arranged in a plate shape.

In addition, unlike the conventional beehive, the lower support is horizontal and the lower support in the front serves as a simple support and the lower support in the rear is composed of the weighing unit 200.

Weighing unit 200 is a means for measuring in real time the weight of the beehive 100 is increased in accordance with the amount of honey stored in the hive 100, the bees are arranged beneath each beehive 100 It serves to measure the changing weight of the 100 in real time and also performs the role of the rear support at the same time.

In the case of the electronic scale applied to the smart beekeeping system, it is impossible to effectively control the shaking because the beekeeper is placed on a scale plate composed of one load cell located in the center. In order to solve this problem, we proposed a structure to fix the weighing device to the bottom of the beekeeper on the bottom of the beekeeper, and verified it by the load test.

The main mechanism to prevent shaking is to support the bee-breeding load with three points, two are supported by the fixed pedestal for breeding, one is supported by the load cell, and the weight sensing principle is used.

In the case of such a structure, the load is arranged in a triangular shape so that stable breeding can be established, and the load cell load due to the change in weight can be accurately measured by simply inserting an appropriate factor.

Assuming that the weighing device is installed at the bottom of the beekeeper, the weighing device can be installed in four positions as shown below. The location A means the lower right corner based on the rumors on the beekeeping, and the position B means the lower left corner on the basis of the rumors. The C position means the front to the rumored position, and the D position means the rear opposite to the rumor.

Here, the position of the lower center of gravity exactly on the scale is called the lower center, and the weight measured here is used as a reference value. And we measured the amount of change of weight at each A ~ D position and compared with the reference value, and experimented the optimum position of the weighing device.

When the weight (brick) having a weight of 3.2 kg on the beekeeping was increased one by one from the right (A position) on a rumor basis, the change in weight was measured at all positions including the lower middle position. The reason for adding weights from the right side (position A) is to make the consumption of the beekeeper's interior equal to the position where the bees are filled by the expansion of the biosphere.

Analyzing the results of the test as described above is as follows.

The lower table shows the weight measured at each measuring position including the lower center when the weight of the beekeeper is 14.76 kg and the weight of 3.2 kg is increased one by one.The next right table shows the beekeeper measured at each position. The value displayed when the weight is removed, indicating the amount of weight change.

If you look at the graph on the left, the graph at position A increases with the reference weight when the weight is less and then decreases, and the graph at position B does not change the initial weight without changing the weight It is increasing to the same value.

This means that the position A, rather than the position B, is changing closer to the actual weight change, given that the actual bees store honey for consumption and that the tax extension starts at position A.

However, in the case of A, the weight of the place far from the right of life is underestimated, while in the case of B, the weight of the place close to the right of life is underestimated. In the case of position C and D, it can be seen that the weight change is constantly changing, similar to the actual weight change, but it is seen that it is changing in half the size of the actual change.

This problem can be solved through SW and HW correction. From these results, it can be seen that the optimal position for the weighing device is the D position.

According to the result analysis, there is a method of installing a weight measuring device in the lower position (D position) of the rear of the rumors based on the existing beekeeping, removing the bottom pedestal of the corresponding position and configuring the weight measuring device of the same size.

This is shown in the bottom figure. One thing to consider here is that most beekeepers have lowered the rumored position and slightly increased the rearward position of the rumor to create a slope so that when rain rains, the beekeeper is able to drain the water naturally. I install it.

With this in mind, even if a new weighing device is installed, an increase in the height behind the rumor should be added. Therefore, if you change the position of the lower pedestal on the left and right on the basis of the rumor to be located at the rear side of the rumor and the rumor, and place the weighing device in place of the lower pedestal at the rear of the rumor, the water inside the rumor will be automatically discharged. You can do that.

On the other hand, the load cell 220 is located in the weight measuring unit 200 and is provided in the form of 'L' to be able to measure the load of the beehive 100 with a constant data.

The load cell 200, which is a key component of the weighing device, is a sensor for measuring weight. When weight or force is applied to the load cell 200, the strain gage inside is deformed, and the resistance value is changed according to the strain rate, thereby correcting errors. Convert to the weight of the commonly used kg unit.

The load cell 200 has three states as shown in the table and figure below. The state without deformation is the same as the state with zero weight, and the increased strain means that the weight is increasing, and the reduced strain means that the weight is decreasing.

Load cells, which are frequently used to measure the weight in the general range (from several kilograms to several tens of kilograms), have a bar-type as shown in the following figure, so that the load can be well reflected in the strain gage. It will have a modified structure as shown.
