Description

  The present invention relates to a honeycomb removing apparatus, and more particularly to a honeycomb removing apparatus that removes a honeycomb by operating a potted nest made at a predetermined height on the ground or operating away from the nest.

  Bees can nest everywhere, such as under the eaves and walls of houses, as well as trees, steel towers, and outdoor power equipment, and attack nearby animals. In general, bees form a nest in a place where human animals do not approach very much, but problems arise when the nest is built in electric power equipment installed outdoors that requires a regular inspection by power related workers. That is, it is because an operator cannot approach the electric power apparatus etc. which should be inspected, and cannot inspect smoothly.

  When regularly inspecting power equipment, etc., in which beehives are built, if it is not urgent, the inspection date can be changed to the winter season when bee activity is settled. In winter, the bees have finished their activities and have left the nest, and the worker can easily approach the power equipment to be checked. However, if the inspection date cannot be changed, it is necessary to remove the honeycomb first in order to get close to the power equipment. If it is difficult to remove the beehive, the worker must wear a protective suit to perform the inspection, and the inspection work in that case is not easy.

  The work to remove the honeycomb is generally carried out by wearing protective clothing, applying chemicals to the honeycomb and killing the bees before removing the honeycomb, or wrapping a cloth around the tip of a long stick and igniting it with firepower. The beehives are removed after killing or escaping the bees. Such an operation is very troublesome. However, the power equipment to be inspected installed in the field or a beehive made in the vicinity thereof is located at a relatively high height from the ground, so that the removal work is not easy.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a nesting collector that collects a sparrow beehive and a spider bee parasitic on the spider beehive. The disclosed sparrow beehive nesting device includes a bag net, an angle adjustment unit, and a pole, and the bag net is a vinyl net having a mesh that does not allow the sparrow bee to easily escape, and vinyl. It consists of a wire that is inserted through the mesh of the net and enables the bag net to be lifted by pulling from outside the collector, and an aluminum muzzle that clips the open side of the bag net Is done.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the honeycomb removing apparatus of the present invention. It is the figure which sees a bag net | network and a ring-shaped member (ring) from the downward direction. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. The honeycomb removing device 10 includes a rod-shaped member 12, a ring-shaped member 16 provided at the tip of the rod-shaped member 12, a blade portion 14 provided on the ring-shaped member 16 and facing the inner side of the ring, and the ring-shaped member 16 And a wire 20 inserted through the bag network 18.

  The rod-shaped member 12 has a predetermined length so that the honeycomb can be removed from the ground or away from the honeycomb, and is made of resin. It may be wooden. Moreover, the thickness of the rod-shaped member 12 has an appropriate thickness so that an operator can operate easily. A ring-shaped member (ring) 16 is attached to the distal end portion of the rod-shaped member 12 at a predetermined angle with the rod-shaped member 12 via an auxiliary member 12a. The ring-shaped member 16 is substantially circular and is made of resin. It may be made of metal. A plurality of substantially L-shaped hook portions 16 a whose tips are directed toward the center of the ring are provided below the ring-shaped member 16, and wires 20 inserted through the opening edge portions of the bag net 18 into the hook portions 16 a. Be hooked.

  The bag net 18 is a net having a mesh from which the bees cannot escape, and is made of resin. The diameter of the opening portion of the bag net 18 is substantially the same as the diameter of the ring-shaped member 16, and the wire 20 is inserted through the opening edge portion so that the opening portion can be attached to the hook portion 16a. In this configuration, for example, the wire 20 may be simply passed through the mesh of the opening edge, or the opening edge may be folded into a bag shape and passed through the wire 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a crescent-shaped blade portion 14 is provided on the rod-shaped member 12 side of the ring-shaped member 16, and the blade portion 14 can be easily cut into the base of the honeycomb. Further, the blade edge of the blade portion 14 faces the inner side of the ring of the ring-shaped member 16 as described above, and is parallel to the surface of the ring of the ring-shaped member 16. In addition, when the bag net 18 is attached to the hook portion 16a, the blade edge of the blade portion 14 and the hook portion 16a are provided with a certain distance, thereby preventing the blade portion 14 from breaking the bag net 18. . Further, the bag net 18 can be separated from the hook portion 16 a by the pulling operation of the wire 20, and then the wire 20 can be smoothly bitten into the cut formed in the base of the honeycomb by the blade portion 14.

  As described above, the wire 20 is inserted into the opening edge portion of the bag net 18, and one end thereof is fixed to the wire stopper 22 provided at the distal end portion of the rod-shaped member 12. The other end is wound up by a wire winder 24 attached near the rear end of the rod-shaped member 12 through the wire guide 30. In the state where the bag net 18 is attached to the hook portion 16a of the ring-shaped member 16, the operation of removing the honeycomb is started. In this state, the wire 20 is in a tensioned state between the wire stopper 22 and the wire winder 24. As will be described later, when the wire 20 is wound by the wire winder 24, the wire 20 is released from the hook portion 16a and the locked state is released, and finally the bag net 18 is in a state where the opening portion is narrowed and closed. Thus, it is locked to the wire stopper 22.

  The wire winder 24 is manual and is configured such that the wire 20 is wound around the reel by turning the handle 24a by hand. When the honeycomb is large and it is difficult to manually squeeze out the honeycomb, electric drive is preferable.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of use of the apparatus for removing the honeycomb of the present invention, and shows a state in which the honeycomb network 26 is covered with the bag net 18. However, the mesh of the bag net 18 is not shown. As an example, the honeycomb 20 is formed at the bottom of a power device 28 installed outdoors, and the ring-shaped member 16 is in contact with the bottom. The beehive 26 is completely in the bag net 18. In addition, as described above, the wire 20 is inserted into the opening edge portion of the bag net 18, and the wire 20 is hooked on the hook portion 16a and locked. In the state where the wire is locked, the opening of the bag net 18 is fully opened.

  Further, FIG. 3 also shows a state in which the crescent-shaped blade portion 14 provided on the ring-shaped member 16 is cut into the base portion 26 a of the honeycomb 26. The cut may be a part of the base portion 26a of the honeycomb 26, but it is desirable to make the cut all around. The cut is made by gripping the rod-like member 16 while the annular member 16 is in contact with the bottom of the electric power device 28 and biting the blade portion 14 into the base portion 26a of the honeycomb 26. In order to insert the blade portion around the entire circumference of the base portion 26a of the beehive 26, the blade portion 14 may circulate around the honeycomb 26 while grasping the rod-like member 12 while the blade portion 14 is biting into the base portion 26a.

  FIG. 4 is a usage example of the honeycomb removing apparatus of the present invention and shows a state in which the pulling operation of the wire 20 is started. However, the mesh of the bag net 18 is not shown. It is shown that the wire 20 inserted through the bag net 18 is released from the hook portion 16a and the locked state is released. In this case, even if the bee comes out of the beehive 26, the diameter of the opening of the bag net 18 is small, and there is almost no gap between the bottom of the power device 28 and the opening of the bag net 18, so the bee Will not escape from the bag net 18.

When the wire 20 is further wound by the wire winder 24, the wire 20 bites into the cut portion of the base portion 26 a of the honeycomb 26. Since the distance between the blade portion 14 and the hook portion 16a is appropriately set, the wire 20 detached from the hook portion 16a can smoothly bite into the base portion 26a into which the honeycomb 26 is cut. Here, by further winding the wire 20, the honeycomb 26 is cut at the portion where the cut of the base portion 26 a is made. FIG. 4 also shows a state in which the wire 20 inserted through the bag net 18 is completely detached from the hook portion 16a and bites into the cut portion of the base portion 26a of the honeycomb 26. In FIG. 4, the honeycomb 26 has not been cut yet. Further, even if the bee comes out of the beehive 26 at this time, the bee cannot go out of the bag net 18 because the opening of the bag net 18 bites into the base portion 26a of the beehive 26.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the wire 20 is taken up by the wire winder 24 and the honeycomb 26 is cut by the wire 20 at the portion where the base portion 26a is cut. The cut honeycomb 26 is stored in the bag net 18, and the opening of the bag net 18 is completely closed. Even if the bees run wild from the cut beehive 26, the bees cannot escape because the opening of the bag net 18 is closed.

  According to the honeycomb removal apparatus of the present invention, the base portion 26a of the honeycomb 26 is cut by the blade portion 14, and the wire 20 is cut into the cut portion and cut, so that the honeycomb formed in the electric power device 28 or the like is cut. 26 can be removed easily and reliably without removing the bees, and the subsequent inspection work of the power equipment 28 and the like can be quickly entered.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, although the blade part 14 was provided in one place by the side of the rod-shaped member 12 of the ring-shaped member 16, you may provide in several places. Moreover, although the wire winding machine 24 illustrated the manual thing, it may be an electric thing.
