Abstract

The utility model relates to beekeeping, and in particular to devices for extracting wax from wax materials and directly from frames with sushi. Maybe the steam electric wax refinery is made of food-grade stainless steel, it contains a steam generator equipped with a standard thermal electric heater (heating element), a wax container for separating wax from merva, a level gauge for monitoring the water level in the steam generator. The proposed steam electric wax refinery allows you to extract wax directly from the frames with sushi, the frames and wire on the frame are not damaged. In this case, their partial sterilization occurs. All this leads to a significant reduction in the cost of time and labor for processing frames with land. An approximate wax refining capacity is one Dadan frame per minute. The proposed steam electric wax refinery is easily disassembled and assembled, which provides easy access to the heating element when it is necessary to service it, as well as to the internal parts of the wax refinery for cleaning them.

Description

The utility model relates to beekeeping and can be used to obtain wax directly from frames with sushi, cleaning and sterilizing wax and frames.

Known wax refinery made in the form of a cylindrical vat with a double bottom and walls equipped with gratings for the drain of wax (USSR patent No. 11944, class A 01 K 59/06, 1928). The disadvantage of this device is the low productivity and the need for a large investment of time and labor for the extraction of land from the framework. The frames in this case, as a rule, are spoiled with a knife, the wire is pulled and torn.

Also known is the apiary wax refinery (copyright certificate No. 211940, class A 01 K 59/06, 1968), with a lid and a drain pipe, where for the purpose of using the refinery for sterilizing wax, the wax container and the firebox are installed in the steam generator.

The disadvantages of this device are: 1) the need to use firewood and other similar materials as a heat source; 2) inability to work indoors; 3) difficulty in manufacturing; 4) the difficulty of working with it in small individual apiaries due to the large size and weight of the device.

Closest to the proposed utility model is steam electrowinning (Pchelarstvo magazine No. 11 of 2005, pp. 26-29 article "Electric steam reflowing", author Ivan Khristov Parashkev, the magazine is published in Bulgaria, an electronic version of this article "Steam electrowinning "Can be found on the website" beekeeping in Bulgaria "at: http://beeinbg.narod.ru/inventar_10.htm. Date of viewing the site October 25, 2005) having: a steam generator (a metal tank of a cylindrical shape), an inner cylindrical shape of a container for wax exc characterized in that in order to use electricity as a source of heat, the wax refinery is equipped with thermal electric heaters (hereinafter referred to as heaters).

The disadvantages of this steam elektrovoskopotki are:

1) the need for a large investment of time and labor for the extraction of land from the framework. The frames in this case, as a rule, are spoiled with a knife, the wire is pulled and torn. To clean the frames of wax, restore broken frames, pulling the wire takes 10-15 minutes on one frame of Dadan. Given that on average there are 20 frames in the hive, one third of which must be replaced during the season, then for each hive

it is necessary to spend at least 1 hour of work of one beekeeper. This is a lot even for a small apiary with 20 hives;

2) the inability to sterilize the framework;

3) the presence in the refinery of round parts, which complicates the manufacture of this product;

4) the difficulty of controlling the level of the working fluid (water), which can lead to boiling of water and failure of the heating elements, despite the presence of a thermal switch, since it cuts off the power supply even if there is a significant overheating of the heating elements.

The proposed utility model solves the following problems:

1) creating the ability to extract wax materials from frames with sushi directly in the wax refinery;

2) partial sterilization of the framework;

3) simplification of the design of the wax refinery, both for manufacture and for maintenance and work with it;

4) creating the possibility of constant visual control of the level of the working fluid (water).

To solve the first problem, the capacity of the steam generator and the capacity for the wax products are rectangular parallelepipeds with dimensions that allow the standard frames of Dadan to be placed in the capacity for the wax products. When steaming frames in a wax refinery, they are partially sterilized. The third task is solved due to the presence of guide shoulders on the containers for the wax and the design of the drain pipe, which makes it easy to disassemble and collect the wax, as well as the rectangular shape of the parts (food stainless steel sheets) of the steam generator, the container for the wax and the lid.

The fourth task is solved with a transparent silicone hose attached to the bottom of the external container so that the water level in the hose coincides with the water level in the steam generator, which allows constant visual control of the water level.

Distinctive features of the proposed steam electrowinning are:

1) the form of the steam generator and the capacity for the wax product;

2) the design of the drain pipe;

3) level gauge design.

Fig. 1 schematically shows the proposed steam electrowinning.

Steam electrowinning contains a steam generator - 1, made of food-grade stainless steel, into which a standard household electric heater (Teng) - 7 is mounted.

the steam generator pours water at a level no lower than a centimeter above the heating element and not higher than the upper edge of the tube hermetically welded into this tank - 2. The steam generator has two short hermetically welded tubes in the lower and upper parts to which a transparent silicone gauge hose 3 is attached to the clamps. Two marks are made on the silicone hose, which indicate the minimum and maximum allowable water level in the steam generator. The capacity for wax materials - 4 is also made of food stainless steel and consists of: shoulders - 10, designed for convenience of combining with a steam generator, nets - 9 of stainless steel, for separating merva from wax, a tube - 5, designed to drain wax and combined with tube - 2. Capacity 4 has holes in the walls - 8 for penetration into it of steam from the steam generator. The cover 6 is also made of stainless steel. The seal 11 between the edges of the steam generator, tank 4 and the cover is made of porous rubber.

The proposed wax refinery works as follows. The steam generator 1 is installed on the stand to the height necessary to put the dishes for collecting wax under the tube 2. Water is poured into the steam generator 1 to the upper edge of the tube 2, which corresponds to the upper mark on the level gauge 3 (about 10 liters of water). Then, a container 4 is inserted into the steam generator, while the pipe 5 is combined with the pipe 2. After that, frames with sushi in an amount of not more than 5 pieces are inserted into the container 4 or wax-up (sushi, zabrus) is poured. Then the wax refinery is closed by cover 6. On the upper edges of the steam generator and container 4 there is a seal made of porous rubber 11. For better sealing, some kind of load can be put on the cover. Then, heater 7 is connected to the power supply network, and grounding is mandatory. The steam formed as a result of boiling through the openings 8 passes into the internal container to the frames with sushi. The wax melted and separated from the merva drips through the mesh 9 into the inner container and flows out through the tube 5. Due to the fact that water vapor also comes out through the tube 5, it and the lower part of the tube 2 are heated, the wax does not freeze in them.

After all the land has separated from the frames, the frames are removed and new ones loaded. With the accumulation of cocoons, residues of bee bread, etc. on grid 9 they are removed with an apiary spatula. It is convenient to use the level gauge hose to drain the water from the steam generator after the end of work, for this it is enough to disconnect the hose from the upper tube. If necessary, the mesh 9 is removed by pulling the ring from the wire 12.
