Description

The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to beekeeping, and can be used to fix a sheet of wax. The use of traditional beekeeping frameworks requires significant labor costs for maintenance, in particular for grafting.

Known beehive frame [Patent for invention RU 2218757 dated 12/20/2003 "Device for keeping bees" Archimandrite father Nikodim (Glushchenko Vyacheslav Pavlovich (RU)], including one or more quadrangular honeycombs, on the side planks of which in the middle part of the edges there are recesses that leave The ends of the planks have separating protrusions.The plank on the upper side of the honeycomb has a through slot for the passage of the wax, and at least one of the other sides has leg protrusions. The side and lower planks of the honeycomb have grooves on the inner surface For installing waxes In a device containing several honeycombs that are rigidly and detachably interconnected and adjacent to one another along the edges of the sides, a rigid detachable connection is provided by an elastic bracket mounted on the sides of the honeycombs in the middle of their height.

Closest to the claimed device is a hive frame [Patent for the invention RU 2065266 from 08.20.1996 "Hive frame" V. Melnik (UA), Romanchenko N.A. (UA), Romanchenko V.N. (UA)], which contains two mirror-like half-frames, interconnected pivotally by a jumper located along two of the same laths. The jumper provides the mobility of one half-frame relative to the second with one degree of freedom. The wax sheet inserted between the half-frames is glued to the device with wax by compressing the half-frames with a certain force.

The disadvantage of this device is that the use of a beehive frame store dimensions requires preliminary preparation of waxes, circumcision under the envelope. In addition, the use of the device in the hive in conjunction with the framework of traditional dimensions is difficult due to the difference in the contours (forms). The presence of a jumper makes it probable that the bees will be waxing the half-frames pairing place. The need to ensure elastic deformation of the device limits the possibility of using solid food plastics in its production, which add rigidity to the frame.

The technical problem solved by the claimed invention is the rejection of the need to cut the wax sheet to fit the frame, making it possible to use it in conjunction with traditional beekeeping frames, ensuring the mobility of the parts of the device without a jumper, giving the frame rigidity and reliability of bonding with wax.

The technical problem is achieved by the fact that the proposed device is made of solid food plastics (for example, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, high density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc.), provided with external loops and has dimensions similar to those of traditional beekeeping frames, one of the half-frame along the closable edge is provided with a protrusion that allows you to cut the wax sheet into the frame dimension, and a longitudinal locking mechanism that reliably keeps the frame from opening.

The invention is illustrated by the following figures:

FIG. 1 - beekeeping frame in plan;

FIG. 2 - view of the beekeeping frame from the side;

FIG. 3 - a longitudinal section of the beekeeping frame;

FIG. 4 is a top view of the frame;

FIG. 5 - cross section of the beekeeping frame;

FIG. 6 is a view from the side end in the mating area of half frames;

FIG. 7 is a fragment of a view of the side end of the frame in a place opposite to the conjugation of the half-frames, at the time forthcoming to close;

FIG. 8 is a fragment of a view of the side end of the frame in a place opposite to the conjugation of half frames;

FIG. 9 is a view of a frame with opened half frames and a wax sheet.

The proposed device consists of two mirror-like half-frames indicated in the figures pos. 1 and 2. Each of the half-frames 1 and 2 is a rectangular structure, interconnected by external loops 3 located on top of the two upper levels of the half-frames 1 and 2. The loops provide mobility of the half-frame 1 relative to the half-frame 2 with one degree of freedom. The half frame 2 has a cutting protrusion 4. On the half frame 1 there is a protrusion 5, and on the half frame 2 there is a recess 6, together forming a locking mechanism. The overall dimensions of the frame are adopted in accordance with existing standards for 1 such structures.

The principle of the proposed device: half-frames 1 and 2 are opened to the required clearance between the lower trims, while the upper trims are held by loops 3. The sheet of wax 7 is superimposed on the first half-frame 1 and cut to the required size by pressing the half-frame 2. Half-frames are glued with wax to the deformed section of the wax sheet, turned on the rough surface of the closed half-frames 1 and 2.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to simplify the assembly process and reduce labor costs when servicing beekeeping frames.
