Abstract
Disclosed is a honeycomb frame wax cap pricking device including base frame, spike assemblies and a movement mechanism, wherein the pricking mechanism of the pricking device has a rotatable eccentric mechanism.
Claims14
A honeycomb frame wax cap pricking device (1), comprising:
- a base frame;
- and
- a movement mechanism, including one or more spike assemblies (5),
- wherein said movement mechanism further includes a rotatable eccentric mechanism implemented by a camshaft mechanism located on an exterior of the base frame that transforms a rotational motion of the movement mechanism into a translational motion of spikes of the spike assemblies (5) for pricking a honeycomb frame (17).
1 more element
A honeycomb frame wax cap pricking device (1), comprising:
- a base frame;
- and
- a movement mechanism including one or more spike assemblies (5),
- wherein said one or more spike assemblies (5) comprise a plurality of spikes (11), a plurality of springs (12), an inner base plate (10), and an outer base plate (13), and
- wherein the movement mechanism is a rotatable eccentric mechanism comprising shafts (3), sprocket wheels (7), a driving sprocket wheel (9), a transfer chain (8) that transmits motion from the driving sprocket wheel (9) to the sprocket wheels (7), grooved ball bearings (21), sliding sleeve joints (6), and connecting rods (20) located at least on one side of an exterior of the base frame (27), and
- wherein said rotatable eccentric mechanism includes a camshaft mechanism located on the exterior of the base frame that transforms a rotational motion of the movement mechanism into a translational motion of the spikes of the spike assemblies (5) for pricking a honeycomb frame (17).
3 more elements
A honeycomb frame wax cap pricking device (1), comprising:
- a movement mechanism including at least one spike assembly (5),
- said spike assembly (5) including a plurality of spikes (11), a plurality of springs (12), an inner base plate (10), and an outer base plate (13),
- wherein a rotating movement of the movement mechanism of the spike assembly (5) is transformed, by a rotatable eccentric mechanism located on an exterior of the base frame, into a reciprocating translational movement of the spikes of the spike assembly (5),
- the eccentric mechanism comprising at least connecting rods (26), supporting sleeves (38), guide rails, a middle base frame plate (42), roller wheels (24), camshaft sprocket wheels (31), a transfer chain (37), a driving shaft (33), sprocket wheel shafts (35), bearings (41), and pins (39), at least at one side of the exterior of the base frame (32),
- the spike assembly (5) configured to cause, when in operation, the spikes (11) to puncture a honeycomb of a honeycomb frame (17) without scraping effect all the wax caps of the honeycomb frame (17) simultaneously and once during each rotation cycle of the eccentric movement mechanism.
