Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pollination, in particular to a cantaloupe pollination device. Background Art

[0002] Cantaloupe is a type of watermelon. During the cultivation process of cantaloupe, the fruit setting rate of cantaloupe is an important factor affecting the yield of cantaloupe. Because the pollen grains of cantaloupe are large and sticky, the distance they can be spread by wind is limited, and the flowering period is short. If there is severe weather such as cold currents, rainy days, sandstorms, dry and hot winds that are not conducive to insect activities during the flowering period, the pollination rate of cantaloupe will be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the yield of cantaloupe. Artificial assisted pollination should be used to protect flowers and fruits. Currently, handheld machines are used for pollination.

[0003] Pollination devices usually dry the collected pollen and place it in a pollen holding tube, so that the pollination outlet of the pollination device is sprayed directly on the flowers to be pollinated; however, existing pollination devices cannot mark the flowers that have been pollinated, and rely on the naked eye to distinguish whether there is pollen. This has low recognition accuracy and slow pollination speed. Summary of the Invention

The bottom end of the elastic component 16 is fixedly connected to a rack 15 that meshes with the half gear 14 for transmission. One end of the rack 15 passes through the interior of the liquid tank 12 and is fixedly connected to a stopper 17. A through hole 1701 is provided on the stopper 17. The bottom of the liquid tank 12 is connected to an infusion tube 18, and the bottom end of the infusion tube 18 is arranged near the pollen output channel 13.

[0029] The elastic component 16 includes at least two guide rods 1601 fixed to the side wall of the liquid tank 12 and a positioning block 1602 slidably mounted on the multiple guide rods 1601. The positioning block 1602 is fixedly connected to the rack 15. Multiple springs 1603 are fixedly connected between the positioning block 1602 and the side wall of the liquid tank 12. The springs 1603 are mounted on the guide rods 1601.

[0030] Driven by external force, the disc 2 rotates. In the initial state, the arc-shaped conveying groove 201 is set upward, and pollen is contained therein. When the arc-shaped conveying groove 201 on the disc 2 is aligned with the pollen output channel 13, the pollen is discharged from the pollen containing cylinder 1 and falls on the flower. The provision of the arc-shaped conveying groove 201 can achieve the purpose of quantitative pollination and avoid waste. Moreover, when the disc 2 rotates, the first rotating shaft 11 drives the half gear 14 to rotate, and the half gear 14 drives the rack 15 to move in a straight line, so that the through hole 1701 is connected with the infusion tube 18. At this time, the colored marking liquid in the liquid tank 12 can be discharged through the infusion tube 18 and sprayed on the flower to realize marking, which has high recognition. In this way, pollination and marking can be carried out simultaneously, which is convenient to operate and has better effect.

Through the transmission of the belt 5, the remaining second pulleys 4 and the first pulley 3 rotate synchronously, so that the stirring blades 10 crush and stir the pollen inside the pollen containing tube 1 to prevent agglomeration and ensure normal discharge, and the first pulley 3 drives the disc 2 to rotate, so that the arc conveying groove 201 on the disc 2 discharges the pollen from the pollen containing tube 1 to achieve the purpose of pollination.

[0035] In order to control the opening and closing of the motor 702, a horizontal handle 21 is connected to the side wall of the pollen containing tube 1, and a button 22 is provided on the handle 21. A controller 8 is fixedly installed on the bracket 701, and the controller 8 is electrically connected to the button 22 and the motor 702.
