Description

{The beehive connection fitting apparatus for bee-keeping}

The present invention is for connecting and fixing beekeeping beehives that are stacked up and down or in contact with each other in the lateral direction. A rotating locking member is fastened to the outer peripheral surface of one of a plurality of beehives (single-bed beehives or grouped beehives) and connected to the other neighboring beehives. It relates to a beekeeping connecting and fixing device for beekeeping that installs a locking rod on the outer circumferential surface of the beekeeping device so that the beehives can be connected and fixed quickly and easily through one-touch fastening and separation between these components (locking member, locking bar) or reinstallation after separation.

Beekeeping refers to artificially raising bees to obtain honey, pollen, royal jelly, beeswax, etc. Bees consist of a queen bee that only lays eggs, male bees for mating, and worker bees that take care of all tasks necessary for the operation of the colony. And, they live in groups within a beehive where Kankan has placed multiple consumptions. Bee hives mainly use single beds (single barrels), but when the bee population proliferates ahead of the breeding season, they are raised to cool down the swarm heat and induce egg laying expansion. The single boxes (single barrels) have the size of a single bed and a body, but are open at the bottom. This refers to what is stacked on top of a platform.

This type of system has the advantage of being able to hold more consumers than single-bed beehives, enabling mass production of honey, and since only the upper low-density chamber is dense, better high-quality honey can be obtained and the management of the bees is easy, so many beekeepers are currently using it. There is a trend in companies to use multiple raised beehives stacked on top of single-bed beehives. However, since the raised beehive is simply placed on top of the single-bed beehive, there is a risk that it can be easily separated and damaged during shock, shaking, or movement, and the bees and collected honey can be contaminated and damaged, so it is important to firmly fix the raised bed to each other. Means must be provided for this.

According to Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2169625 or Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0280514, single-bed beehives and platform-type beehives are fastened using fixing means such as band-shaped fixing lines or binding ropes to avoid shaking or shock. Although the stacked beehives (single phase, layered layer) are not separated from each other, in the case of these prior literature, a lot of time is required for installation and separation of the hive fixation means (fixing rope, binding rope), and considerable effort is required during the reinstallation process. Not only does it contain structural limitations such as having to tilt the hive, but it also involves separating and reinstalling the binding rope in the process of periodically performing internal inspections to check for abnormalities in the consumer and worker bees installed inside the hive, or to check the presence or absence of the queen bee and the state of laying eggs. The work is cumbersome and takes a long time, which can cause various problems such as stress to the bees.

Depending on the fixation, a plurality of beehives (1) and (2) are linked and fixed organically. In addition, the locking member 10, which is a component of the above-described connection fixing device, is fastened on one side (fastening hole location) to one side of the beehive main body 1a using a fixing bolt 15 and is rotatable in the installation position. It is maintained, and the locking rod body 20 is fastened to one side of the neighboring beehive body 2a in the form of a screw or through a blow. In addition, the above-mentioned connection fixing device is configured not only in the case where the single-phase beehive (1) and the multi-bed beehive (2) are stacked vertically, but also in the case where the single-phase beehives (1) (1') are arranged in close contact side by side in a horizontal state. It can also be installed and used interchangeably.

The locking member 10 shown is injection molded using an elastic synthetic resin, and has a fastening hole 12 on the lower side of the body 11 through which the fixing bolt 15 fastened to one side of the hive body 1a is inserted. It is formed through and forms a fitting coupling part 13 that is cut curvedly from one upper side of the body 11 toward the inner fixing groove 13a, and has a step shape on the open position of the fitting coupling fixing groove 13a. In addition to forming the locking protrusion portion 13d, the handle 14 is formed to protrude from one side of the body located on the upper side of the fitting coupling portion 13. Here, the above-described fitting coupling portion 13 is a key component that is inserted and fastened to the protruding locking rod 20, and through this, the plurality of beehives 1 and 2 are prevented from being separated during shaking, impact or movement. It can be firmly fixed without any problems.

In addition, the fitting coupling portion 13 in the example above has a curved shape that gradually narrows from the open portion on one side toward the fixing groove 13a on the other side, but the upper curved section 13b is formed gently and the lower curved section 13c ) is formed in a hemispherical shape so that the stopping bar 20 is smoothly guided.

The hanging rod body 20 of the illustrated embodiment is fastened to one surface of the beehive body 2a and is inserted into the fixing groove 13a after being inserted into the fitting coupling part 13, and the installation position is fixed to the fitting coupling fixing groove 13a. ) is fastened at a position slightly lower than the position to induce it to be inserted into the lower curved section (13c) of the fitting coupling portion (13) in a surface-contact state. In this way, when the locking bar body 20 is fastened with a tension force, the locking member 10 is not separated from the locking bar body 20 even if there is a strong external shock or shaking.

The locking member 10 of the above example additionally forms a protrusion 12a and a tension inducing hole 11a according to another embodiment, and the protrusion 12a is located on one side of the body at the position of the fastening hole 12 (in contact with the beehive). In addition to guiding the connection fixing device (A) to be installed and operated straightly in a vertical or horizontal line, even in a beehive structure having a stepped flange portion (3), the tension inducing hole (11a) is formed as a fitting coupling part. It is a component to additionally provide a stronger tension force to the locking rod body (20) that is inserted into (13), and is formed in the form of a streamlined cut hole in the body (11) located close to the lower side of the fitting joint.

The following description is to examine in detail the installation process and effect of the connection fixing device. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the locking member 10 and the locking rod body 20 of the connection fixing device are each connected to a plurality of beehives (1). ) (2) Installed on the main body (1a) (2a), with the body (11) of the locking member positioned on one side of the main body (1a) of one beehive (single-type beehive or raised beehive), the fixing bolt (15) ) is inserted into the body fastening hole 12 and screwed to the beehive body 1a to complete the installation of the locking member 10. At this time, since the fastening hole 12 of the locking member is formed on the lower side of the body, the fitting portion 13 on the upper side of the locking member body is in a state in which it can rotate in a circle, using this (fastening hole) as a starting point.

Next, the locking rod 20 is fastened to one side of the main body 2a of another neighboring beehive 2 by screwing or striking it, and is installed so that it is located on the same vertical line or the same horizontal line as the fastening hole 12 of the locking member described above. If necessary, a stopper in the form of a locking protrusion may be additionally formed at one end of the locking bar body (20).

As shown above, in a state where the locking member 10 and the locking rod 20 of the connection fixing device are respectively fastened to the main bodies 1a and 2a of neighboring beehives, the beehives can be separated from each other, so the collected honey can be collected or inside the beehive. It is possible to easily perform an internal inspection to check whether there are any abnormalities in the consumer and worker bees installed, or the presence or absence of the queen bee and the egg-laying state, and when the separated beehives (1) (2) are stacked and fixed on top of each other, as shown in Figure 5 Similarly, when the locking member 10 is rotated by holding the rod-shaped handle 14 located at the top of the body of the locking member, the fitting coupling portion 13 with one side open enters one side of the locking rod body 20 and enters the final fixing groove 13a. ) The position of the locking bar inside is fixed, and thus the stacked beehives (1) (2) can be firmly fixed without being separated or separated even during shock, shaking, or movement. In addition, in the process of fastening the fitting coupling portion 13 to the locking rod 20 as described above, the installation position of the locking rod body is installed at a lower position (based on the horizontal direction) than the position of the fixing groove 13a of the fitting coupling portion, so the fitting coupling is performed. The curved section 13c on the lower side of the load is supported by the locking bar 20, which is a contact object, thereby doubling the fixing force between the locking bar 20 and the locking member 10.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a locking action occurs on the locking bar body 20 from the step-shaped locking protrusion portion 13d formed on the open position of the fitting coupling portion fixing groove 13a, so it cannot be inserted and fixed unless it is artificially strongly separated. The locking rod body 20 can be stably fixed without being separated from the fixing groove 13a.

The connection fixing device of the present invention can maintain a more efficient fixation state than other embodiments, and as shown in Figures 6 and 7, a protrusion (12a) is formed on one side of the body at the location of the locking member fastening hole (12) to protrude outward. Even if the locking member (10) is installed in the beehive (1) having the flange portion (3), the locking member is not installed crookedly but straight without interfering with the flange portion, so it does not perform its original role, so there is no problem. There is no problem. In addition, as soon as the engaging rod body 20 contacts the curved section 13c on the lower side of the fitting coupling part through the streamlined tension inducing hole 11a formed close to the lower side of the fitting coupling part 13, the tension inducing hole 11a is As it is pressed in a compressed form, a stronger elastic force (tension) is provided to the locking bar body 20, thereby further improving the fixing force between the locking bar body 20 and the fitting coupling portion 13.

The beekeeping connecting and fixing device having such a configuration and embodiment can be said to be a new and useful invention with improved installation, ease of use, and fixation, and can be used to efficiently fix and separate various beehives and beehives as well as beehives and covers. This is a very suitable technology.
