Description

The invention relates to beekeeping, in particular to the technology of haying honeycombs. The method of mounting a honey-frame involves installing a wax-plate, the size of which exceeds the distance between the inner surfaces of two opposing planks of the frame corresponding to this size, consisting of planks rigidly interconnected in the form of a rectangle, the two opposite of which have grooves on the inner sides for fixing the wax by introducing the edges of the wax plate in the grooves of the strips, reducing the size of the wax plate in question by bending it and then restoring it after insertion into the grooves flatness. The technical result of the invention is the possibility of using for the option of attaching wax in the grooves of the rails, the honeycomb of the simplest of the known designs of wooden frames, namely, frames consisting of four planks rigidly fastened to each other, without using any other structural or auxiliary elements, and when selling honey in the frame, reducing its cost and improving the appearance of the product.

The invention relates to the technology of hobbying beehives of honeycombs and is intended for use in low honeycombs of store buildings and multi-case hives.

A large number of methods for mounting and attaching a wax plate in a frame are known for mounting a frame.

There is a well-known method of hoisting a honeycomb using temperature (soldering) or temperature-force (hot roller) incorporation into the wax plate of wires stretched between the side vertical slats of the frame (G. Avetisyan. Breeding and Keeping Bees. M. Kolos. 1983. Page 46 and Fig. 12). The disadvantage of this method is the very sophisticated technology of towing, the presence of steel wires in the honeycombs, and for the implementation of honey honey, the need to separate the honeycomb into pieces, which dramatically affects the presentation of the product.

A known method of mounting a honeycomb, obviously resulting from the construction of a honeycomb, proposed in the patent for invention RU 2065266, A01K, publ. 08/20/1996, consisting of compression of a wax-plate between two rectangular halves of the frame, each of which consists of four slats. The disadvantage of this method is the need for a complicated design of the honeycomb.

There is a method of mounting a honey-frame, the trims of which have grooves for attaching the wax, by displacing at least one of the trims with a groove (SU 993895 A1, class A01K 47/02, published 07.02.1983). The disadvantage of this method is the complicated design of the honeycomb, necessary for its execution and including the movable connection of the slats inserted into each other.

A method is used to install a wax plate in a frame with grooves for attaching a wax located on the inner sides of the planks through a through groove in one of the planks. Such a method, obvious from the description of the invention RU 2218757 C1, A01K 47/00, publ. December 20, 2003, determines the complication of the design of the honeycomb in connection with an additional technological operation for the manufacture of a groove or a forked bar.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The soto-frame is wound by bending the wax-plate in order to reduce its size to less than the corresponding distance between the inner surfaces of the horizontal planks with grooves, while the other size of the wax-plate should be guaranteed less than the distance between the inner surfaces of two other lateral vertical planks. After the introduction of the corresponding edges of the wax plate in the grooves of the planks, the flatness of the wax is restored without disturbing its relief and without the use of additional devices.

The process is really feasible provided that the edges of the wax plate do not touch the side vertical slats. In addition, due to the high ductility of the wax at temperatures above + 20 ° C and brittleness at temperatures below + 10 ° C, the ambient temperature is optimal for execution from + 10 ° C to + 20 ° C, and the optimal size between the inner surfaces of the strips with grooves from 80 to 120 mm.

The technical essence and principle of operation of the device for implementing the proposed method of mounting the frame are illustrated by a drawing, in which:

Fig 1. The main view of the honeycomb;

FIG. 2. A cross-sectional view of the honey-frame in the process of charging;

FIG. 3 Cross-sectional view of a honey-frame.

An example of a specific implementation. The proposed photo frame in FIG. 1-3 consists of horizontal slats pos. 1 with grooves on the inner surfaces, side strips pos. 2 and wax plate pos. 3. This device operates as follows. When installing wax pos. 3 it is bent, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to temporarily reduce the overall size, then they are straightened to the operating state, as shown in FIG. 3. There is a distance between the vertical edges of the wax plate and the side planks of the frame in order to exclude contact of the elements and irreparable deformation of the wax.

According to the patent search, the features of the proposed technical solution are new, the proposed method for mounting the honeycomb is not currently known, and all the honeycomb is made with the contact of the wax with the side straps of the frame.

In addition, the method of mounting the honeycomb by bending the wax-plate is not obvious from the available information, its use in known designs of honeycomb without taking into account the above features will lead to the inability to restore flatness while maintaining the original quality state of the wax-plate, or to deformation of the cells during operation in the hive, which is verified experimentally.

Also, the signs of the proposed technical solution are industrially feasible and aimed at solving the problem. In the considered way, for several years, the soto-frames were hoisted with internal dimensions of 100 mm x 270 mm. As a result, the bees on the wax rebuilt the honeycombs and filled them with honey in an amount of 0.5 kg per sotoramka. Full-honeyed photo frames have an attractive appearance and optimal volume for implementation (photo-background at the top of the page on the website http: // light-yuley.rf).
