PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective temperature control device of pollinator insects such as bumblebees and a beehive itself in which the device enabling electricity saving and operation by a battery is required, and further, measures are considered necessary for the temperature control based on a thermometer measured value in the inside of a hive, detection and notification of abnormal conditions, the pest invasion to an intra-hive and the dirt of a hive opening part.SOLUTION: Air in a thermal insulation air supplying duct 2, the air warmed and cooled in a fin (inside) 8, is pressurized with a high static pressure fan 4, and an internal temperature is adjusted by an airflow generated in the inside of a hive 1. An exhaust from the hive 1 and a leakage air from the thermal insulation air supplying duct 2 are recovered by a thermal insulation exhaust duct 3 and re-used, and thereby a temperature control is performed. Condensed water during cooling is drained by a water absorbing/draining device having functions of holding a pressure and preventing pest invasion. A temperature sensor is installed in the inside of the hive for displaying temperature and controlling power supply. Another temperature sensor installed in the inside of the hive detects a temperature abnormality and reports it. A paper insertion type entrance 18 is installed in a cutout part for entry and exit of pollinator insects to thereby secure easy exchange and prevent pest entry.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】マルハナバチ等の送紛昆虫と巣自体の効率的な温度調節装置による省電力化、バッテリーによる稼働等が可能な装置が求められた。さらに、巣箱内部の温度計測値に基づいた温度調整、異常事象を検知・通報、巣箱内部への害虫侵入、巣箱開口部の汚れに対処が必要と考えられた。【解決手段】フィン(内部)8で加温あるいは冷却した断熱送気ダクト2内の空気を高静圧ファン4で加圧し、巣箱1内部に発生する空気の流れにより内部温度を調節する。巣箱1からの排気と断熱送気ダクト2からの漏気を断熱排気ダクト3で回収・再利用し、温度調節を行う。冷却時の結露水は、圧力保持、害虫侵入防止機能を有する吸水排水装置で排水する。巣箱内部に温度センサーを設置し、温度表示・電源制御を、巣箱内部に別に設置した温度センサーで温度異常を検知し、通報する。送紛昆虫出入用の切欠部に紙製の挿入形出入口18を設置し、易交換性確保と害虫進入防止をはかる。【選択図】図2
