Description

The utility model relates to equipment for beekeeping and can be used in the construction of the hive body made of foamed polymer, for example, polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene.

The prior art.

From the description of the patent of Ukraine UA 100607 U, IPC A01K 47/00, publ. 08/10/2015, the construction of a collapsible hive body made of polyurethane foam is known, which includes side walls, in the slotted grooves of which are installed metal corners designed for hanging bee frames.

The disadvantage of the construction of the hive’s hull is the lack of solidity, which can lead to deformation of the hive’s hull, falling bee frames and destruction of the hive’s hull during transportation.

The design disadvantage is also a short service life due to mechanical wear of the end part of the polyurethane foam walls of the hive body.

From the description of Ukrainian patent UA 74143 U, IPC A01K 47/00, published October 25, 2012, the construction of a one-piece hive body made of polystyrene foam is known, on the end parts of the side walls of which folds are designed to hang bee frames.

The design drawback is the short service life of the hive, due to the low wear resistance of the folds made of polystyrene foam, and the end of the polyurethane foam walls of the hive as a whole.

For the closest analogue of the claimed utility model, the hive body design is adopted, known from the description of patent RU 2263447 C1, IPC A01K 47/00, publ. November 10, 2005. The housing is made of collapsible polystyrene foam and includes side walls with protrusions formed in the end part, as well as two horizontal shelves made at different levels on both sides of the protrusions. In the walls on the inner side there are horizontal slotted grooves in which the profile parts of the T-shaped cross section are installed, intended for hanging bee frames.

The disadvantage of the construction of the hive’s hull is the lack of solidity, which can lead to deformation of the hive’s hull, falling bee frames and destruction of the hive’s hull during transportation.

Another disadvantage is the use of a universal T-shaped profile, which is poorly integrated into the design of the hive body.

The design disadvantage is the short service life of the hive, due to the low wear resistance of the end part of the walls of the hive body.

Disclosure of a utility model.

The task to which the utility model is directed is to create a durable durable hive body made of foamed polymer, in which the end part of the side walls is protected from mechanical damage.

The technical results that the utility model aims to achieve are:

- in protecting the end part of the walls of the hive body from mechanical damage;

- to increase the structural strength of the hive;

- in increasing the service life of the hive body.

The above technical results are achieved in the hive body, which includes a side wall of foamed polymer, with a protrusion formed in the end part of the side wall, as well as two horizontal shelves made on both sides of the protrusion, and a profile element attached to the side wall of the housing.

The indicated technical results are achieved by the fact that the profile element is located on the end part of the side wall, adjoins the protrusion and horizontal shelves of the side wall and is inseparably connected to the side wall.

A brief description of the drawings.

The utility model is illustrated by the following images.

In FIG. 1 shows the upper part of the side wall of the hive body, known from patent RU 2263447 C1;

In FIG. 2 shows the upper part of the side wall of the hive body with a profile;

In FIG. 3 shows a polymer profile element.

With reference to FIG. 1-3 are indicated:

1 - hive body;

2 - side wall of the hive body;

3 - internal horizontal shelf;

4 - external horizontal shelf;

5 - protrusion on the end of the side wall;

6 - vertical wall of the protrusion;

7 - the inclined wall of the protrusion;

8 - T-shaped profile element;

9 - profile element;

10 - internal horizontal shelf profile element;

11 - external horizontal shelf profile element;

12 - vertical wall of the profile element;

13 - inclined wall of the profile element;

14 - upper horizontal base of the profile element.

Implementation of a utility model.

The utility model can be successfully implemented in the housing 1 of the hive, including (see Fig. 1) the side walls 2 of foamed polymer, for example, polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam, with protrusions 5 formed in the end part, as well as two horizontal shelves 3,4 made (at different or the same level) on both sides of the protrusions 5, and a profile element 8 connected to the side wall 2 of the hive body.

To implement the utility model, the hive body is equipped with profile elements (see Fig. 2-3).

Profile elements are formed from a polymeric material or metal, respectively, by extrusion or stamping.

The profile elements are made so that the shape of their cross section repeats the cross section of the end part of the side wall of the hive body.

Profile elements are integrated into the hive body as follows.

The body is molded in the form of polyurethane foam or backfilled with polystyrene foam crumbs.

Before performing the filling or filling operation, the profile elements are placed and temporarily fixed in it with metal pins in the upper cover of the mold for casting the hive body, which are arranged to form a figure that is rectangular in plan.

Then the lid is connected to the mold and the mold is filled to the top with polyurethane foam or covered with polystyrene foam crumbs.

After curing the polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene, the form is opened and the finished hive body is removed.

In this case, the profile elements 9 due to the adhesion of polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene are firmly connected to the end part of the side walls 2 of the hive body 1 and, in addition to its mechanical protection, act as reinforcing elements of the hive body.

In particular (see Fig. 2), the inner horizontal shelf 10 of the profile element 9 is connected to the inner horizontal shelf 3 of the end part of the side wall 2; the outer horizontal shelf 11 of the profile element 9 is connected to the outer horizontal shelf 4 of the end part of the side wall 2; the vertical wall 12 of the profile element 9 is connected to the vertical wall 6 of the protrusion 5; the inclined wall 13 of the profile element 9 is connected to the inclined wall 7 of the protrusion 5; the upper horizontal base 14 of the profile element is connected to the upper horizontal base of the protrusion 5 of the end part of the side wall 2 of the hive body.

The practice of using profile elements from various types of polymeric materials and metals has shown good adhesion of polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene to most materials.

Profile elements reliably protect the end part of the hive body from mechanical damage and contribute to increasing the structural strength of the hive body as a whole.

Thanks to the protection of the end part of the hive body from mechanical damage and wear, the service life of the hive body is increased.

Beehives made of polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene and equipped with the profile elements described above tolerate transportation well.

The conducted patent studies confirm the world novelty of the utility model.

The operation of the prototypes of the profile confirmed the industrial applicability of the utility model and compliance with the stated technical results.
