Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of anther drying devices, in particular to a pear anther drying device. Background Art

[0002] Pears are typically self-incompatible fruit trees, requiring either pollination trees or artificial pollination. In practice, improper pollination tree placement or adverse weather conditions often lead to widespread yield reductions and poor fruit quality. Therefore, artificial pollination is crucial for high-quality and safe pear production.

[0003] Artificial pollination of pear trees requires large quantities of highly pure and vigorous affinity pear pollen. To obtain this affinity pollen, a large number of pear flowers must be collected to obtain their anthers, which must then be dried to produce the pollen. Therefore, the anther drying process directly impacts the quality and efficiency of pear pollen production.

[0004] The existing pear anther drying process mostly relies on manual operation, which often leads to problems such as uneven spreading of the pear anther, unstable control of drying temperature and state, large losses in pear pollen production and low work efficiency, and a decrease in the content of compatible pear pollen due to pollen contamination between pear varieties. Summary of the Invention

[0009] A collecting port is provided on one side of the drying chamber, and the collecting port is communicated with the discharge port through a pollen collecting pipe; a baffle is provided between the collecting port and the pollen collecting pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the blower is connected to the air inlet, and the air inlet directly passes upward to the top of the box.

[0011] Furthermore, the injection pipe goes straight upwards to the top of the box body, and a heat dissipation window is also provided on the top of the box body.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the edge of the cover plate that contacts the anther chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the drying device is provided with five layers of drying cabins, and each layer of drying cabins is communicated with a corresponding anther cabin.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating shaft passes through the centers of the five drying plates, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor, which is fixed above the base.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is a square structure, and the four lower corners of the base are respectively connected to the first hydraulic rod.

[0016] Furthermore, a steel wire mesh with a 25-mesh aperture is provided at the connection point between the anther chamber and the air supply pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, both ends of the base plate are fixedly connected to the third hydraulic rod at the front end of the base plate controller.

[0018] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the baffle, and the bottom end of the baffle is fixedly connected to the second hydraulic rod.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The anthers enter the control module, so that the amount of pear anthers on the drying trays of each drying chamber can be accurately controlled, and the same amount of pear anthers can be automatically and quickly transported to the drying trays of each drying chamber at the same time, ensuring that the pear anthers on the drying trays of each drying chamber can be spread and dried at the same time, thereby achieving consistency in the drying time required for the pear anthers in each drying chamber, which is conducive to the simultaneous drying of a large amount of pear anthers and the centralized collection of pear pollen.

[0021] 2. Inside the drying chamber, an integrated automatic rotating spreading device runs across five drying trays. Connected to a silicone scraper via a rotating shaft, it rotates at a constant speed, ensuring uniform spreading of the pear anther on the drying trays. This eliminates the problem of anther stacking or uneven spreading, ensuring uniform drying of each grain. A temperature probe located above each drying tray monitors the chamber temperature in real time and provides feedback to the device's control system, ensuring efficient and constant drying temperature for the pear anther, improving drying efficiency and quality.

[0022] 3. The air supply module enables heated air flow to continuously pass through the drying chamber in one direction, meeting the drying chamber's requirements for air temperature, accelerating the drying of each pear anther, avoiding damage to the vitality of the pear pollen due to excessively high temperature or insufficient drying of the pear anther due to excessively low temperature, thereby improving the drying efficiency and the quality of the pear pollen produced.

[0023] 4. A camera located above each drying tray in the anther drying chamber monitors and analyzes the anther drying status in real time, providing feedback to the system's control system to ensure timely collection of pollen after drying. The chamber's transparent acrylic doors and windows also allow for real-time observation and confirmation of the anther drying status.

[0024] 5. The anther drying tray is equipped with a pollen collection port and a baffle. The collection port baffle can be automatically raised and lowered in two gears, solving the problem of pear anther often scattering out of the drying tray during the even spreading process, reducing the waste of pear anther, facilitating the heated air flow to discharge from the drying chamber, and facilitating the external negative pressure equipment to efficiently absorb pear pollen through the pollen collection pipe.

[0025] 6. The atomization disinfection module atomizes 50% (v / v) alcohol, and the flowing atomized alcohol inactivates all the pear pollen remaining in the drying device, completely avoiding the mutual contamination between different varieties of pear pollen and ensuring the preparation of high-quality pear pollen.

[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0039] The present invention provides a pear anther drying device, which controls the amount of pear anther through information collection and regulation of an embedded system, spreads the pear anther evenly, regulates the temperature during the drying process of the pear anther, and monitors and analyzes the drying state of the pear anther in real time through a camera, thereby improving the drying efficiency. An external negative pressure device can be connected to a pollen collection pipeline, thereby facilitating the efficient collection of pear pollen after the pear anther is dried.

[0040] The core functional part of this device is "one cabin and five modules", which are specifically divided into a drying cabin (constant temperature), anther entry control module, air supply module, anther spreading module, pollen collection port baffle module and atomization disinfection module.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the pear anther drying device includes a box 1 (a cylinder with a height of 154 cm and a diameter of 108 cm, made of stainless steel). A device control system 2 and two air inlet windows 38 are provided on the upper part of the box 1. The function of the device control system 2 is to control the operation of the entire device. The air inlet windows 38 help to dissipate heat during the operation of the air supply module and the disinfection module on the upper part of the box 1; a box window 4, a box door 3 and a door handle 6 are provided in the middle of the box 1. The box window 4 and the box door 3 are made of transparent acrylic board, and people can check the internal condition of the box through the box window 4 and the box door 3; an exhaust port 28 is provided at the lower part of the box 1, which can be used to discharge gas and can also be connected to a negative pressure device to collect pear pollen; four supporting legs 5 are provided at the bottom of the box 1 to ensure the stability of the device.

[0042] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the anther entry control module consists of a cover plate 7, a sealing ring 31, anther chambers 8, a bottom plate 33, a bottom plate controller 9, and a third hydraulic rod 34. This module is fixed to the inside of the housing 1. Five anther chambers 8 are arranged side by side on the outside of the housing 1. Each anther chamber 8 (5 cm square at the bottom and 20.5 cm high) is topped with a cover plate 7 (29 cm long, 7 cm wide, and 0.3 cm high). The edge of the cover plate 7 that contacts the anther chamber 8 is equipped with a sealing ring 31 to ensure a tight seal on the top of the anther chamber 8.

[0043] The upper portion of the anther chamber 8, near the housing 1, is connected to the atomizer 15, heater 30, and blower 16 via an air supply duct 14. A 25-mesh steel mesh 32 is provided at the connection between the anther chamber 8 and the air supply duct 14 to prevent the pear anthers added to the anther chamber 8 from scattering into the air supply duct 14.

[0044] A base plate 33 is located at the bottom of the anther chamber 8. The lower end of the anther chamber 8 is aligned and interconnected with the delivery pipe 10. A base plate controller 9 is located between the anther chamber 8 and the delivery pipe 10, controlling the opening and closing of the bottom of the anther chamber 8. The ends of the base plate 33, near the housing 1, are fixedly connected to third hydraulic rods 34 at the front end of the base plate controller 9. The rear end of the base plate controller 9 is fixed to the housing 1, and the third hydraulic rods 34 drive the movement of the base plate 33. The anthers in the anther chamber 8 enter the drying chamber 21 through the delivery pipe 10 and the delivery pipe opening 11.

[0045] The third hydraulic rod 34 drives the bottom plate 33 to move so as to achieve quantitative delivery of pear anther medicine.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the third hydraulic lever 34 has two gears. When adding a fixed amount of pear anther to the anther chamber 8, the third hydraulic lever 34 is in the first gear, driving the bottom plate 33 to the bottom of the anther chamber 8. At this time, the anther chamber 8 is completely separated from the conveying pipe 10 above and below. After the pear anther is added, the cover 7 is closed and the device is started. The third hydraulic lever 34 is switched from the first gear to the second gear, driving the bottom plate 33 to move horizontally, completely opening the bottom of the anther chamber 8. At this time, the anther chamber 8 and the conveying pipe 10 are connected from top to bottom, allowing the pear anther to be automatically and quickly transported downward and into the drying chamber 21. This anther entry control module realizes the quantitative delivery of pear anther, avoids accumulation or blockage, and realizes automatic control.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the atomization and disinfection module is composed of an atomizer 15 and an injection pipe 12; the air supply module is composed of a blower 16 and a heater 30. The injection pipe 12 is connected to the atomizer 15 downward and directly passes through the top of the box 1. 50% (v / v) alcohol can be added through the injection pipe 12 (the inventors have found in experiments that 50% (v / v) alcohol can inactivate pear pollen). A heat dissipation window 37 is also provided on the top of the box 1. The heat generated by the operation of the air supply module and the disinfection module can be discharged outside the box 1 through the heat dissipation window 37.

[0048] like Figure 5As shown, the blower 16, heater 30, atomizer 15, and injection tube 12 are located at the top of the housing 1. The top of the atomizer 15 is connected to the injection tube 12, which extends upward directly to the top of the housing 1. The top of the blower 16 is connected to the air inlet 13, which extends upward directly to the top of the housing 1. The blower 16, heater 30, atomizer 15, and anther chamber 8 are connected by an air supply pipe 14.

[0049] When the device begins operation, the anther entry control module is first activated, automatically and rapidly transporting a predetermined amount of pear anther from the anther chamber 8 through the delivery pipe 10 and the delivery pipe opening 11 to the drying chamber 21. A temperature probe 17 and a camera 18 are installed at the top of the drying chamber 21 to monitor the temperature changes in the drying chamber 21 and the drying status of the pear anthers, and provide feedback to the device control system 2. Once the pear anthers enter the drying chamber 21, the air supply module is activated. The heater 30 begins operating according to the temperature of the drying chamber 21. The blower 16 heats the inhaled air through the heater 30 and continuously delivers it to the downstream air supply pipe 14. The air then passes through the anther chamber 8, the delivery pipe 10, the delivery pipe opening 11, and into the drying chamber 21. The air then passes through the collection port 20, the pollen collection pipe 23, and the exhaust port 28 before being discharged into the outside air.

[0050] This device is equipped with five layers of large-capacity drying chambers. The heated air flow flows continuously in one direction, maintaining a constant temperature in the drying chamber (30-35°C), which accelerates the drying of each pear anther. It solves the problem of high temperature damaging the vitality of pear pollen or low temperature causing insufficient drying of pear anther. It realizes the drying of large quantities of pear anthers in the same batch under constant temperature conditions, and provides real-time feedback on the drying status of the pear anther, ensuring the drying quality of the pear anther.

[0051] like Figure 5 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the anther spreading module is composed of a rotating shaft 22, a silicone scraper 19, a motor 25, a base 26 and a first hydraulic rod 27. The pollen collection port baffle module is composed of a baffle 24, a second hydraulic rod 29 and an opening 36. The five drying chambers 21 in this device are evenly distributed from top to bottom, and a drying plate 35 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 21. One side of the drying chamber 21 is connected to the conveying pipe port 11, and the pear anther can enter the drying plate 35 through this port. The other side is provided with a collection port 20, and the collection port 20 is connected to the discharge port 28 through the pollen collection pipe 23. A baffle 24 is provided between the collection port 20 and the pollen collection pipe 23. The baffle 24 is provided with five openings 36, and each opening 36 matches the size of the corresponding collection port 20. The bottom end of the baffle 24 is also fixedly connected to the second hydraulic rod 29. The function of the baffle 24 is to prevent the pear anther from scattering from the collection port 20 during the spreading process. The function of the second hydraulic rod 29 is to drive the baffle 24 to rise and fall.

[0052] A rotating shaft 22 runs through the center of the five drying plates 35. Each drying chamber 21 houses a silicone scraper 19, which is fixed to the rotating shaft 22. The lower portion of the rotating shaft 22 is connected to a motor 25, which is fixed to a square base 26 below it. First hydraulic rods 27 are connected to the four corners of the base 26, driving the rotating shaft 22 and the silicone scraper 19 up and down. The motor 25 drives the rotating shaft 22 and the silicone scraper 19 to rotate (clockwise or counterclockwise).

[0053] The first hydraulic rod 27 drives the rotating shaft 22 and the silicone scraper 19 to rise and fall, and the motor 25 drives the rotating shaft 22 and the silicone scraper 19 to rotate (clockwise or counterclockwise) to achieve uniform spreading of the pear anther.

[0054] like Figure 9 As shown, the first hydraulic rod 27 controls the raising and lowering of the silicone scraper 19 through two gears. Before the pear anther enters the drying tray 35 from the delivery pipe opening 11, the first hydraulic rod 27 is in the second gear. When the pear anther is completely delivered to the drying tray 35, the first hydraulic rod 27 switches from the second gear to the first gear. At this point, the first hydraulic rod 27 begins to drive the silicone scraper 19 downward. When the distance between the silicone scraper 19 and the drying tray 35 is approximately 0.2 cm (approximately one and a half pear anther heights), the first hydraulic rod 27 stops. Simultaneously, the second hydraulic rod 29 (in the second gear) drives the baffle 24 upward, causing the collection port 20 to be semi-open. (Alternatively, the second hydraulic rod 29 can drive the baffle 24 upward, causing the collection port 20 to be semi-open before the pear anther enters the drying tray 35.) This prevents the pear anther from scattering from the drying tray 35 into the pollen collection pipe 23 and then rolling out of the discharge port 28, thereby reducing pear anther waste. Then the motor 25 starts to run, driving the rotating shaft 22 to drive the silica gel scraper 19 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise for 1 to 2 minutes, so as to evenly spread the pear anther on the drying plate 35.

[0055] Once the anthers have been spread, the first hydraulic lever 27 drives the silicone scraper 19 upwards, stopping when the distance between the scraper and the drying plate 35 is approximately 7 cm. At this point, the first hydraulic lever 27 is in the second gear position. The drying chamber 21 then dries the evenly spread anthers. Once the anthers are completely dried, the second hydraulic lever 29 (in the first gear position) drives the baffle 24 downwards, fully opening the collection port 20 and facilitating negative pressure collection of the pear pollen from the discharge port 28.

[0056] The anther spreading module can spread the pear anthers evenly in 5 drying trays 35 at the same time, and is fully automatically controlled, which solves the problem of uneven pear anther stacking or spreading in the existing pear anther drying process, and makes the pear anther spread evenly in a single layer in the drying tray, which is conducive to uniform drying of each pear anther, thereby improving drying efficiency and quality.

[0057] The second hydraulic rod 29 drives the baffle 24 to move up and down to achieve efficient collection of pear pollen.

[0058] like Figure 11 As shown, the second hydraulic lever 29 has two gears for driving the baffle 24 upward and downward. When the second hydraulic lever 29 is in the first gear, the opening 36 overlaps with the collection port 20, and the collection port 20 is fully open. This facilitates the collection of pear pollen in the drying chamber 21 through the pollen collection pipe 23 by connecting a negative pressure device to the discharge port 28. When the second hydraulic lever 29 is in the second gear, the second hydraulic lever 29 drives the baffle 24 upward, and the opening 36 on the baffle 24 half overlaps with the collection port 20, making the collection port 20 semi-open. This prevents the pear anther from being evenly spread on the drying plate 35 and from being scattered into the pollen collection pipe 23 during the drying process, thereby reducing pear anther waste. When the collection port 20 is semi-open, rather than closed, it also facilitates the continuous discharge of heated air from the drying chamber 21 through the pollen collection pipe 23. This ensures a continuous, one-way flow of heated air, maintaining a constant temperature in the drying chamber and accelerating the drying of each pear anther. This solves the existing problem of excessively high temperatures damaging the vitality of the pear pollen, or insufficient drying due to low temperatures during the drying process. When the pear anther is completely dried, the second hydraulic lever 29 returns to the first gear, fully opening the collection port, and the pear pollen in the drying chamber 21 is efficiently drawn out via a negative pressure device externally connected to the discharge port 28.

[0059] like Figure 12 As shown in the results, the germination rates of 'Huanghua' pear pollen were reduced to 0.92% and 0% after being treated with 50% (v / v) alcohol for 2 minutes and 3 minutes, respectively, compared with the control. The results showed that 50% (v / v) alcohol treatment for 3 minutes could completely inactivate the pollen of 'Huanghua' pear.

[0060] When using this device to prepare different varieties of pear pollen, the atomization and disinfection module can efficiently inactivate the pear pollen remaining in the device. First, 50% (v / v) alcohol is added to the atomizer 15 through the injection tube 12 located on the top cover of the box 1, and then the atomizer 15 and the blower 16 are started through the device control system 2. At this time, the first hydraulic rod 27 is in the second gear to make the silica gel scraper 19 away from the drying plate 35, and the anther chamber 8, the conveying pipe 10, the drying chamber 21, and the pollen collection pipe 23 are fully connected. After the alcohol is atomized, it enters the air supply pipe 14, and the air flow blown by the blower 16 transports the atomized alcohol to the anther chamber 8, the conveying pipe 10, the drying chamber 21, and the pollen collection pipe 23, and finally disperses it from the discharge port 28. Through the atomization and disinfection module, all the pear pollen remaining in this pear anther drying device can be inactivated, completely avoiding the mutual contamination between different varieties of pear pollen, and ensuring the preparation of high-quality pear pollen.
