Abstract

Device for weighing beehives which are being exploited. The invention relates to a device which includes: - on the one hand, a U-shaped support which raises the hive from its usual support and remains permanently underneath it; - on the other hand, a variable-thickness mechanism including a balance B at its centre, at the upper part, which mechanism can be used for all the hives. The weighing operation consists in: - inserting the variable-thickness mechanism while it is at its minimum thickness into the U-shaped support which supports the hive; - manoeuvring the mechanism thus inserted making it possible to bring it to its maximum thickness and therefore to raise the hive from its support; the hive then resting solely on the balance B of this mechanism.

Description

La presente invention concerne un dispositif pour peser les ruches
d'abeilles pendant leur exploitation.
The present invention relates to a device for weighing hives
bees during their operation.

Le pesage d'une ruche permet, sabot l'ouverture de celle-ci, d'apprecier
rapidement L'évolution de l'essaim et de ses récoltes ; ce pesage permet
de savoir entre autres
- si les provisipns en nourriture sont suffisantes pour la survie
de la colonie durant l'hiver et le printemps,
- à quel moment il faut poser les hausses, c'est-à-dire agrandir
le volume de la ruche lors des récoltes de nectars, moment très
variable d'une année à l'autre,
- si une colonie a essaimé : perte de poids,
- à quel moment il faut transvaser une jeune colonie de ruchette
en ruche.
The weighing of a hive allows, hoof opening of it, to appreciate
rapidly The evolution of the swarm and its crops; this weighing allows
to know among others
- if the food supply is sufficient for survival
of the colony during winter and spring,
- when to raise the risers, i.e. enlarge
the volume of the hive during nectar harvesting, a very
variable from year to year,
- if a colony has swarmed: weight loss,
- when to transfer a young colony of hive
beehive.

Il existe actuellement plusieurs méthodes de pesage des'ruches ; ces mé
thodes sont :
a) soit coûteuses - certains modèles coûtent plus cher que la ruche
et restent à demeure sous celle-ci,
b) soit imprécises - une partie du mécanisme d'évaluation du poids
de la ruche reste à demeure sous la ruche et L'autre partie du
mécanisme se compose d'un dynamomètre gradué par 0,5kg,
c) soit difficiles à mettre en oeuvre - il faut soulever manuelle
ment l'ensemble de La ruche, c'est-à-dire 30 kg à 75 kg, à deux operateurs.
There are currently several methods for weighing beehives; these me
thodes are:
a) either expensive - some models cost more than the hive
and remain permanently under it,
b) imprecise - part of the weight assessment mechanism
of the hive remains permanently under the hive and the other part of the
mechanism consists of a dynamometer graduated by 0.5kg,
c) either difficult to implement - manual lifting
The entire hive, that is to say 30 kg to 75 kg, to two operators.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

Il se compose
- d'une part, d'un support (D) immobile qui surélève la ruche (A)
de son support habituel (E) et qui reste à demeure sous celle-ci,
- d'autre part, d'un mécanisme (C) à épaisseur variable, amovible,
qui sera introduit dans l'espace interieur du support (D) pour
l'opération de pesage.
It consists
- on the one hand, of a stationary support (D) which raises the hive (A)
of its usual support (E) and which remains permanently under it,
- on the other hand, a mechanism (C) of variable thickness, removable,
which will be introduced into the interior space of the support (D) for
weighing operation.

Le support (D) en forme de U comporte un espace intérieur d'environ 8 cm de hauteur ; les dimensions extérieures de ce support sont environ 45 cm et 52 cm, c'est-à-dire les dimensions du plateau inférieur de la ruche, augmentées de 2 cm à 3 cm ; ces dimensions sont adaptées au type de ruche utilisee.  The U-shaped support (D) has an interior space of approximately 8 cm in height; the external dimensions of this support are approximately 45 cm and 52 cm, that is to say the dimensions of the lower tray of the hive, increased from 2 cm to 3 cm; these dimensions are adapted to the type of hive used.

Le mécanisme (C) se compose des éléments (1)(2)(3)(4)(55(6)(7)(8)(9)(10).  The mechanism (C) consists of the elements (1) (2) (3) (4) (55 (6) (7) (8) (9) (10).

L'ensemble de pesage se compose d'un élément de pesage (B) appelé balance, situé au centre du mécanisme (C) , relié par deux traverses (4) et (ó) à deux éléments Latéraux identiques comprenant chacun
- un Longeron supérieur (5),
- un Longeron inférieur (2),
- des biellettes avant (8) et arrière (3),
- des roulettes avant (7) et arrière(1),
- une poignée de manoeuvre (1Q) avec ses biellettes (9).
The weighing assembly consists of a weighing element (B) called a balance, located in the center of the mechanism (C), connected by two crosspieces (4) and (ó) to two identical lateral elements each comprising
- an upper Longeron (5),
- a lower Longeron (2),
- front (8) and rear (3) links,
- front (7) and rear (1) casters,
- an operating handle (1Q) with its links (9).

La balance (B) est du type pèse-personne électronique avec afficheur détachable (11- > de portée maximale 120 kilogrammes, gradué par 200 grammes, et comporte un bouton Marche-Tare-(12). The scale (B) is of the electronic scale type with detachable display (11-> maximum capacity 120 kg, graduated by 200 grams, and includes a Start-Tare- button (12).

L'ensemble de pesage (B) plus (C) a une épaisseur totaLe d'environ 7 cm sur une largeur d'environ 35 cm et une longueur d'entre-axe des roulettes avant-arrière de 30 cm environ. The weighing assembly (B) plus (C) has a total thickness of approximately 7 cm over a width of approximately 35 cm and a center-to-center length of the front-rear rollers of approximately 30 cm.

La position initiale de l'ensemble est la suivante : la ruche (A) repose sur le support (D) posé Lui-même sur le support de ruche (E). The initial position of the assembly is as follows: the hive (A) rests on the support (D) placed itself on the hive support (E).

Introduire latéralement le mécanisme (C) et la balance (B) qui en est solidaire , dans l'espace intérieur du support (D) de manière à situer approximativement la balance (B) à la verticale du centre de gravité. de la ruche (A) ; cette introduction est facilitée par les roulettes avant (7) et arrière (1). Insert the mechanism (C) and the balance (B) which is attached to it laterally, into the interior space of the support (D) so as to locate the balance (B) approximately vertical to the center of gravity. from the hive (A); this introduction is facilitated by the front (7) and rear (1) rollers.

Dans cette position, mettre la balance électronique sous tension et à zéro à l'aide du bouton (12)..  In this position, switch on the electronic balance and zero with the button (12).

Par le mouvement tzvers le haut de la poignée (10), te Longeron in férieur (2) est entraîné dans un mouvement Fl et par L'intermédiaire des biellettes (3) et (8) provoque L'élévation du longeron supérieur (5) et d'un coté de La balance qui en est soLidaire ; l'arrière de la ruche (A) est alors soulevé de 1 cm à 2 cm de son support (D). By the movement towards the top of the handle (10), the lower beam (2) is driven in a movement F1 and by means of the links (3) and (8) causes the elevation of the upper beam (5). and on one side of the scale which is solid; the back of the hive (A) is then raised from 1 cm to 2 cm from its support (D).

Sur la figure 3 nous observons Le mécanisme (C) et La balance (B) dans la position -épaisseur minimale- de 7 cm environ Lors de l'introduction puis après manoeuvre de la poignée (10) -figure 4-1(B) et (C) sont dans la position épaisseur maximale- de 12 cm. On figure 3 we observe the mechanism (C) and the balance (B) in the position - minimum thickness - of 7 cm approximately During the introduction then after operation of the handle (10) -figure 4-1 (B) and (C) are in the maximum thickness position of 12 cm.

Nous observons sur La figure 4 que les biellettes (3) et (8) arrivent en appui respectivement sur les roulettes (1) et (7) et grâce au poids de la ruche immobilise ces roulettes.  We observe in Figure 4 that the links (3) and (8) come to bear respectively on the rollers (1) and (7) and thanks to the weight of the hive immobilizes these rollers.

Une manoeuvre, équivalente à celle décrite ci-dessus, de l'autre moitie identique du mecanisme (C) permet par un mouvement vers le haut 2 de provoquer le mouvement*2et ainsi de soulever l'avant de la ruche. A maneuver, equivalent to that described above, of the other identical half of the mechanism (C) allows by an upward movement 2 to cause the movement * 2 and thus to lift the front of the hive.

La ruche ne repose plus alors que sur la balance (B) et la pesée est lue sur l'afficheur (11). The hive no longer rests on the scale (B) and the weighing is read on the display (11).

Pour reposer la ruche (A) sur son support (D), il suffit de manoeuvrer alternativement les poignes (10) dans un mouvement vers le bas. To rest the hive (A) on its support (D), it suffices to alternately maneuver the handles (10) in a downward movement.

Le mécanisme (C) avec la balance (B) est alors retiré de l'espace intérieur du support (D) et est utilisable pour une autre ruche équipée d'un support (D). The mechanism (C) with the scale (B) is then removed from the interior space of the support (D) and can be used for another hive equipped with a support (D).

Ce mecanisme de pesage (C) et son Support (D) sont utilisables sur les différents types de ruches utilises actuellement par les apiculteurs, par une adaptation des dimensions du support aux dimensions du plateau inférieur de la ruche utilise. This weighing mechanism (C) and its support (D) can be used on the different types of hives currently used by beekeepers, by adapting the dimensions of the support to the dimensions of the bottom tray of the hive used.

Le support (D) permet de conserver l'usage, lorsque cela est le cas, d'une trappe à pollen de dessous; pour le pesage, il suffit de retirer la trappe à pollen de l'espace intérieur du support (D).  The support (D) keeps the use, when this is the case, of a pollen trap from below; for weighing, simply remove the pollen trap from the interior space of the support (D).

Le support (D) est réalisé en bois. Le mécanisme (C) est réalisé en acier traitéanti-corrosion. Les roulettes (1) et (7) de ce mécanisme sont réalisées en matière plastique.  The support (D) is made of wood. The mechanism (C) is made of anti-corrosion treated steel. The rollers (1) and (7) of this mechanism are made of plastic.
