Abstract

A device for unsealing honeycombs, containing a frame, a cutting mechanism with a drive, including counter-rotating rotors, a container for collecting scrap honeycombs, characterized in that two knives are rigidly fixed on each rotor, parallel to each other and diametrically relative to the rotor at a distance of at least 8 mm from the rotor with the opposite direction of their blades, while at the ends of both rotors opposite to the drive, gears are rigidly fixed to provide counter rotation of the rotors.

Description

The technical solution relates to beekeeping, namely, devices for opening honeycombs of honey frames and can be used in the personal economy of beekeepers during honey collection.

A device for opening honeycombs is known, comprising a base with a rack for attaching a mechanism for feeding frames with honeycombs in the form of a trolley with a frame holder with a drive and a mechanism for cutting wax covers placed on each side of the honey frame, made in the form of a set of knives installed in one plane with the possibility of reciprocating motion in this plane along the surface of the honeycomb by means of a drive. The knives at one end are attached to the tension bar, and the rear ends of the knives are placed in the grooves of the grill, connected through an eccentric to the drive motor (see AS SU, No. 820761, MKI-3 A01K 59/02)

The disadvantages of the known device are the design complexity, the presence of two drives of knives of mechanisms for cutting wax covers of honeycombs, which increases the cost of equipment and maintenance costs.

The closest technical solution to the claimed is a device for printing honeycombs, including a frame, a cutting mechanism with counter-rotating rotors with a drive, a feeder for cassettes with frames with a drive, a container for collecting scraps of honeycombs. The rotors are needle-shaped and equipped with a friction variator made in the form of conical pulleys mounted on the shafts of the rotors with the opposite direction of the cones (see, AS SU No. 184556, IPC А01К 59/02).

The disadvantages of the known device are insufficiently high productivity and quality of trimming, due to the fact that with a large thickness of sealed honeycombs, the needle rotors will clog without cutting the tops of the honeycombs, and crushing them, and therefore requires constant readjustment to install the rotors at the required distance from each other.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is to accelerate the cutting process, due to the exclusion of readjustment, the exclusion of honey sticking to knives, with the exception of heating honey, preserving its quality.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in a device for printing honeycombs containing a frame, a cutting mechanism with a drive, including counter-rotating rotors, a container for collecting honeycombs, on each rotor two knives are rigidly fixed parallel to each other and diametrically relative to the rotor at a distance of less than 8 mm from the rotor with the opposite direction of their blades, while on the opposite ends of the drives of the two rotors are fixed gears of the gear transmission, providing counter rotation p Hur.

The execution on each rotor of rigidly fixed two knives parallel to each other and diametrically relative to the rotor at a distance of not less than 8 mm from the rotor with the opposite direction of their blades, and on the opposite ends of the rotors of both rotors of rigidly fixed gears of the gear, providing counter-rotation of the rotors, allows to qualitatively cut the honeycombs simultaneously from both sides of the frame, with the simplified supply of the frames from top to bottom, sharper first of the first knives and then when turning the rotors - Streit second knives diametrically spaced. In addition, at the same time as cutting, the cuttings of honeycombs and partially honey are immediately removed, due to the centrifugal force arising during rotation of the honeycomb into the gap between the knives and rotors, and then into the container, preventing honey from sticking to the knives and heating honey, preserving the quality of honey, and ensuring the printing of honeycombs honey frames with different thicknesses of printed honeycombs without readjustment, speeding up the cutting process.

In figure 3, a section along aa in figure 1. (the fastening of the knives on the rotors on the supports is shown)

A device for opening honey frames contains a frame 1 with a guide 2 with upper 3 and lower 4 stops for installing honey frames. A cutting mechanism is installed and fixed on the frame, comprising rotors 5 with a drive and a container 6 for collecting scraps of honeycombs and flowing honey. The rotors are mounted at a distance from each other equal to the thickness of the honey frame, for example, on ball bearings in the bearings 7. On each rotor 5, two knives 9 are rigidly fixed to the bearings 8 with bolts. On one rotor, the knives 9 are parallel to each other and diametrically relative to rotor at a distance from the rotor of at least 8 mm with the opposite arrangement of their blades. The rotor drive consists of an engine 10, a capacitor 11, a belt drive 12 mounted and fixed on the frame 1. At the end of one rotor there is a pulley 13 for installing the belt drive, and at the opposite ends of the drive of both rotors 5, the spur gears 14 are rigidly fixed rotation from one rotor to a second rotor. Using a gear transmission, the direction of rotation of the second rotor is changed, providing counter-rotation of the rotors and the cutting process in one direction.

A device for opening a honey frame works as follows.

To open the honey frame by cutting off the tops of the honeycombs, the honey frame with unopened honeycombs is manually installed in the guide 2 of the frame 1. The drive is switched on and the movement from the engine 10 is transmitted through a belt drive 12 to one rotor 5, and from it through a gear transmission to the second rotor 5. When pressed by hand and rotating the rotors towards each other, the honey frame along the guides moves down to the lower stops 4, while the knives 9 of one rotor cut the tops of the honeycombs from one side of the honey frame, and the knives 9 of the second rotor simultaneously cut the tops from comrade on the other side of the honey frame (figure 3). Simultaneously with the cutting of the tops of the honeycombs, the scraps of honeycombs and partially honey are removed from the cutting zone due to centrifugal force, excluding the sticking of honey on the knives, accelerating the process of printing honeycomb honeycombs.

A device for opening honey frames, providing an accelerated opening of honey frames without sticking honey on knives and heating honey, preserving its quality, will be used in the personal economy of beekeepers.
