Description

The utility model relates to beekeeping, namely, devices for extracting wax from wax-containing raw materials and directly from frames with honeycombs.

Known apiary wax refinery containing a steam generator, as well as the furnace installed in it and the wax container with a lid and a drain pipe (see USSR AS No. 211940, publ. 1968.01.01).

However, in the design of the apiary wax refinery there is no filter to remove various debris from the wax.

Known wax refinery containing a tank with a lid, a holder of honeycomb frames, a drain pipe and a wax collector. The tank is filled with heated water (see USSR AS No. 1391556, publ. 1988.04.30).

However, the operation of the wax refinery involves the laborious process of manually removing the waste from the scoop. Also, the water temperature is insufficient to disinfect the framework.

Known steam elektrovoskopotka containing a steam generator with PETN and a container for wax materials, allowing to heat the wax directly from the frames with sushi (see RF patent for PM No. 544725, publ. 2006.07.27).

However, in this device, the wax is simply melted, which does not lead to its complete release. There is no centrifuge in the design, which leads to the loss of about a third of the wax.

Closest to the claimed utility model is a device for extracting wax from frames with sushi, made in the form of a centrifuge containing a housing with a rotor. Inside the rotor, frames with honeycombs are fixed. The rotor is equipped with a grid, and the housing has a drain fitting, a cover and a pipeline for supplying steam. Steam is supplied from the steam generator. (see AS of the USSR No. 814298, publ. 1981.03.23).

However, in this device, the frames are mounted on the rotor and rotate with it, which leads to deposition on the litter and the need for their subsequent disinfection. The design of this device is too cumbersome, as it contains a separate steam generator. It is also impossible to use a centrifuge in the field due to the use of an electric drive.

The objective of this solution is to create a centrifuge wax refinery, applicable in the field to obtain purified wax directly from the frames with honeycombs.

The technical result consists in compactness, providing the most complete extraction of wax from cells and simultaneous disinfection of frames without the use of electricity.

This object is achieved in that the centrifuge-wax refinery contains a housing with a lid and a drain fitting, a rotor with mesh walls located in the housing, a frame holder, a steam generator connected to the housing. According to the decision, the steam generator is made with double walls, the inner wall of which is a casing and provided with holes for supplying steam, an opening for a fitting is made in the outer wall, and the frame holder is attached to the casing above the rotor. The device is illustrated in the drawing, where the following positions are indicated:

1 - outer wall;

2 - inner wall - centrifuge housing;

3 - neck;

4 - hole;

5 - cavity of the steam generator;

6 - the cavity of the centrifuge;

7 - a cover;

8 - rotor;

9 - mesh wall;

10 - shaft;

11 - disk;

12 - V-belt transmission;

13 - pen;

14 - holder;

15 - frame;

16 - drain fitting.

The device contains a steam generator, for example, cylindrical. The wall and bottom of the steam generator are double. Between the outer 1 and inner 2 walls connected from above, as well as inside the double bottom, water is poured. In the outer wall there is a neck 3 with a lid for water inlet. The inner wall 2 forms a centrifuge housing. In the inner wall above the water level, holes 4 are made connecting the cavity 5 of the steam generator with the cavity 6 of the centrifuge body. The casing is closed by a cover 7. The rotor 8 is located inside the casing.

representing a disk with a mesh wall 9 around the perimeter. The rotor is mounted rotatably around its own axis on the shaft 10. The shaft 10 is connected to a manual rotation drive. The drive can be made in the form of two disks 11 of different diameters connected by a V-belt drive 12. A disk of a smaller diameter is mounted on the shaft 10, and a disk of a larger diameter is equipped with a handle 13 and is mounted on the steam generator. From the inside, a holder 14 of the frames 15 is attached to the centrifuge housing (wall 2), which is two parallel horizontal shelves. In the lower part of the housing there is a drain fitting 16, which is a tube passing through the double wall of the steam generator.

The device operates as follows. Water is poured into the cavity of the steam generator 5, and frames 15 with bee honeycombs are mounted on the holder 14. Then the wax centrifuge is installed on a heat source, for example, above a fire. When heated, the water in the steam generator boils, the formed steam penetrates through the holes 4 into the cavity of the centrifuge body 6, melts the honeycomb and disinfects the frames. When the molten honeycombs completely drain onto the rotor disk 8, it is rotated by the drive by turning the knob 13. Under the action of centrifugal forces, all the wax passes through the mesh wall 9 of the rotor and flows out of the body cavity through the drain fitting 16. All debris remains inside the rotor and deleted manually after finishing work.

Claims (1)
