[0032] Working principle: When pollinating, hold the handle 17, align the front hole 2 with the corn silk, and then start the air pump 12, the internal motor 8, the micro motor 402 and the micro air pump 405. The internal motor 8 rotates the turntable 9, thereby rotating the wire drawing plate 10. During the rotation of the wire drawing plate 10, the hanging corn silk is picked up, and the corn silk is sucked into the main barrel 1 under the action of the air pump 12 and the wire drawing plate 10. The corn silk is located on the inner side of the wire drawing plate 10. At the same time, start the water pump 305 to pump out the water in the water barrel 301, and after being atomized by the atomizing nozzle 307, the humidity inside the main barrel 1 is increased, providing better pollination conditions for pollination; at the same time, in the powder barrel 401, the micro motor 402 drives the stirring shaft 403 and the stirring blade 404 to rotate, fully stirring the internal pollen to avoid agglomeration. The micro motor 402 keeps working after being turned on. The air pump 405 pressurizes the inside of the powder barrel 401. When pollination is in progress, the lower valve 409 is opened, and the pollen is quickly sprayed from the pollen drop tube 408 into the main barrel 1. Under the action of the vacuum pump 12, the pollen quickly falls to the corn silk below. The corn silk is disturbed inside the wire drawing plate 10 and can fully contact with the falling pollen, thereby improving the pollination rate. The pollen that does not participate in pollination continues to fall and enters the bottom of the main barrel 1. After a period of time, the front door 601 can be opened to clean the bottom of the main barrel and collect the pollen that does not participate in pollination for reuse. Then the front door 601 is closed again, and the fastening bolt 603 is tightened to fix the front door 601 on the main barrel 1. When the water level in the water barrel 301 is lower than the liquid level gauge 304, the alarm 302 sounds an alarm, prompting you to add water. The amount of pollen inside the powder barrel 401 is convenient to observe, so that pollen can be added when the pollen is insufficient.
