Description

Declared as an invention, the honey separator housing relates to the field of beekeeping and is intended for use in radial and chordal honey separators for extracting honey from honeycombs by centrifugation.

From practice and literary sources, honey extractor shells are known, which are a metal barrel of cylindrical shape, in the upper part of which there are upper outer and inner hoops, in the lower part there is a conical bottom, lower hoop and drain valve (1. Handbook of beekeeping. N.L. Berenin, G. N. Kotova. - M: Agropromizdat, 1985, p. 105. 2. Encyclopedia of beekeeping. A.I. Rut. - M: Fiction, 1993, p. 151, 185).

The disadvantage of such cases is the presence of a rolling seam used to connect the edges of the sheet metal in the manufacture of the barrel cylinder and to connect this cylinder with the bottom of the barrel, which has poor tightness and poor mechanical strength.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed building is the honey extractor building (1. Beekeeping equipment, inventory and their home-made production. M. Matica. - Bratislava: Nature, 1988, p. 307). The case is made in the form of a metal barrel, in the upper part of which there are upper inner hoops and an outer hoop with two handles for carrying the honey extractor, in the lower part there is a lower hoop with supporting legs, a drain cock and a conical bottom, on which the rotor support is mounted on the upper part of the cone, having for this purpose a conical recess in the center of its lower end surface, into which the top of the conical bottom enters, fastened to it by three bolts. The connection of the edges of the metal sheet in the manufacture of the barrel cylinder, as well as its connection to the bottom, which is made by stamping on a press, is carried out using a rolling seam.

The disadvantages of such a case are:

- deterioration during operation of the tightness and mechanical strength of the connection of the support of the rotor with the upper part of the bottom cone, as it is installed directly on the conical surface of the bottom and is attached to it with three bolts;

- poor tightness and mechanical strength of the rolling seams of the barrel cylinder, especially at the intersection of these seams with the rolling seam of the connection of the barrel cylinder with the bottom of the barrel, due to the large thickness of the rolling seams;

- honey, when draining, pouring out of the drain tap hole, flows along the outer surface of the lower rim, partially flowing under it and falling on the outer lower part of the bottom of the honey extractor, which leads to contamination of the honey and deterioration of its quality;

- when pulling metal by stamping on a press to create a conical bottom surface, due to its large diameter, the quality of the cone decreases due to the appearance of wrinkles and other irregularities on its surface, and metal tearing often occurs during stamping, which leads to an increase in marriage in the production of bottoms;

- coating the metal case of the honey extractor with various paints and enamels is short-lived and leads to a deterioration in the swelling of honey from its surface during centrifugation, a deterioration in the quality of the pumped honey due to clogging with particles of crumbling paint, appearance and anticorrosion properties, and a decrease in the service life of the case.

This type of honey separator housing is taken by the authors as a prototype.

The technical problem to which the honey extractor housing claimed as an invention is directed is the creation of a more durable, durable and sealed honey extractor housing, which allows to improve the drainability of honey from its inner surface and the quality of the pumped honey.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in this honey extractor housing made in the form of a metal barrel made of sheet metal, which can be used carbon high-quality steel grades 10 kp, 15 kp, 20 kp, 30 kp or corrosion-resistant alloy steel grades 08X13 , 12X13, 20X13, 12X18H9, or technical grade aluminum of grades A0, A5, A6, A7, A8 and its alloys of grades AMts, AMg1, AMg2, AMg3, the two opposite edges of which are overlapped with a seam, in the upper part of which there are upper inner hoops and outdoor headgear with two handles for carrying the honey extractor, in the lower part there is a lower hoop with four support legs, a drain cock and a conical bottom, in its upper part having a flat flat platform of a round shape with a hole in the center for fastening to it a cylindrical-shaped rotor support having for this, in the center of its lower end surface is a recess with an internal thread, which improves the tightness and mechanical strength of this connection.

Due to the large diameter of the bottom, the metal is drawn when creating a conical bottom surface by the method of digging the cone with a rotating carbide roller made of tool alloy steel of grades 9X1, 12X1, HVG, 9HVG, HGS, 8XF, 9XF, which made it possible to obtain an even and smooth cone surface without wrinkles and other irregularities, and also to eliminate tearing of metal and reduce marriage during production.

The edges of the metal sheet are joined in the manufacture of the barrel cylinder, as well as the bottom is connected to the bottom of the barrel cylinder by seam contact welding, which gives a small thickness of the weld, which improves its tightness and mechanical strength, especially at the intersection of the seams of the barrel cylinder with the seam of its connection to the bottom barrels.

There is an internal thread in the drain tap hole for installing an additional ball drain cock, which prevents honey from flowing along the outer surface of the lower rim when it is draining, flowing under it and falling onto the outer lower bottom surface, which eliminates honey contamination during draining and, therefore, improves its quality .

The honey extractor’s body is coated with hammer enamel by powder spraying followed by high-temperature treatment, which improves honey swelling from the inner surface of the body during centrifugation, improves the quality of the pumped honey, the appearance and anticorrosion properties of the body, and prolongs its service life.

The honey separator case consists of a barrel barrel (8) made of sheet metal, which can be used as carbon grade 10 kp, 15 kp, 20 kp, 30 kp grades or corrosion-resistant alloy steel grades 08X13, 12X13, 20X13, 12X18H9 or aluminum of technical purity of grades A0, A5, A6, A7, A8 and its alloys of grades AMts, AMg1, AMg2, AMg3, the two opposite edges of which are overlapped by welded seam welding, which has good tightness and mechanical strength of the weld, the upper part of which using metal glue c (1) is fastened to the upper inner wrap (15) and the upper outer hoop (7) with two handles (6) carrying the extractor. The lower hoop (12) with four support legs (14) is attached to the lower part of the barrel cylinder with a bolt (5), tightening the hoop in two loops (4).

The conical bottom (9) has in its upper part a flat, flat platform (3) with a round hole with a hole in the center for fastening with a single bolt (13) the support of the rotor (2) of a cylindrical shape, having for this purpose a recess with an internal thread in the center of the lower end surface, which also improves the tightness and mechanical strength of the connection.

The bottom cone is made by rolling out a carbide rotating roller made of tool alloy steel of grades 9X1, 12X1, HVG, 9HVG, HGS, 8HF, 9HF to obtain a smooth cone surface without wrinkles and irregularities, to prevent tearing of metal and to reduce scrap during production.

The bottom is welded to the lower edge of the barrel cylinder by seam contact welding, which improves tightness and increases the mechanical strength of the seam, especially at the intersection of this seam with the seams of the barrel cylinder.

The drain valve (10), mounted on the bottom of the barrel with two bolts, has a drain hole (11) with a thread for installing an additional drain ball valve, which eliminates the flow of honey on the outer surface of the lower rim, flowing under it and getting on the outer the bottom surface of the bottom, which prevents pollution of honey and, therefore, improves its quality.

The surfaces of the honey extractor’s casing are coated with hammer enamel by powder spraying followed by high-temperature treatment, which improves the flow of honey from the inner surface of the casing during centrifugation, improves the quality of the pumped honey, the appearance and anticorrosion properties of the casing, and prolongs its service life.

The principle of operation of the device: the honey extractor housing is mounted on a solid, level surface on the support legs (14), a crossbar with a gearbox and a rotor with honey frames are placed inside the honey extractor housing, the lower end of which is inserted into the rotor support (2), mounted on a flat platform (3) of the conical bottom (9), and the upper end of the rotor is mounted in the crossbar. When pumping honey from the frames by centrifugation, honey flows along the barrel walls of the barrel (8) to the lower part of the barrel and accumulates there. When the honey level reaches the rotor support, open the drain valve (10) and through the drain hole (11) the honey is drained into a container pre-set under the edge of the honey extractor. To prevent the honey from touching the outer surfaces of the lower rim (12) and the bottom, an additional drain ball valve is screwed into the thread of the drain hole.
