Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grape processing, specifically to a highly stable grape demasking and pollination device. Background Technology

[0002] Grapes are tall, twining vines belonging to the genus *Vitis* in the family Vitaceae. Young stems are glabrous or slightly pubescent; leaves are papery, ovate or round; inflorescences are large and long; calyxes are small, yellowish-green and cup-shaped; styles are short and conical; berries are ovoid to ovoid-oblong, turning purplish-black or reddish-green when ripe. Grapes are usually dioecious, and the presence of male flowers can affect normal grape development. Especially in vineyard management, male flowers are removed to improve fruit quality and yield, preventing them from interfering with pollination of female flowers.

[0003] Current technology involves using tweezers to hold the stamens during the emasculation process of grapes, then pulling them outwards to remove them. However, due to the angle of the tweezers, the entire grape spike needs to be lifted. The traditional method involves holding the spike by its base, which can damage the tip due to heat from the hand and prolonged pressure, thus affecting the quality of the grapes. Furthermore, pollination also requires manually lifting the spike and applying pollen to the stigma of the pistil with a brush. This process is not only difficult and prone to damaging the stigma, but also time-consuming and can damage the spike over time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a grape demasking and pollination device with high stability, so as to solve the technical problems of long demasking time, high hand temperature, easy damage to flower spikes, and damage to flower spikes during pollination.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a highly stable grape demasking and pollination device, comprising a demasking clamp and a flower spike clamp. The bottom end of the demasking clamp is connected to an assembly leg, and the inner wall of each assembly leg is provided with a fixing rod and a pushing inclined surface. An elastic wire is fixed to the assembly leg via the fixing rod. The elastic wire is U-shaped, and its bottom end is connected to two sets of peeling clamps. The elastic wire is aligned and fitted with the pushing inclined surface. After the peeling clamps are aligned and fitted, they drive the elastic wire along the pushing inclined surface. The inclined plane is deformed and bent. The top of the flower spike clip is connected to an anti-slip pad, and the inner wall of the flower spike clip is connected to a silicone pad. The flower spike clip has locking parts at both the top and bottom. The flower spike clip is locked to the lower sealing chamber and the upper sealing chamber respectively through the locking parts. The lower sealing chamber is located at the bottom. The interior of the lower sealing chamber has a main air groove and a branch air groove. An air bag is connected to the side of the lower sealing chamber. The bottom of the upper sealing chamber is connected to a venting groove. Filter screens are installed inside the main air groove, the branch air groove and the venting groove.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the flowers can be easily demasked using the demasking clamp. During the demasking process, the two sets of peeling clamps can be squeezed to move away from each other, thereby reducing the diffusion of pollen to the stigma. Subsequently, during pollination, the pollen can be evenly filled into the sealed chamber by the airflow injected into the sealed chamber. In addition, the flower spike clamp is used to limit and hold the flower spike during both demasking and pollination, reducing damage to the flower spike.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a rotating shaft is connected to the top of the male enhancement clip, a return spring is installed below the rotating shaft, and flexible pads are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the male enhancement clip.

[0008] Preferably, the demasking clip can be conveniently clamped and positioned, thus improving the positioning effect.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a locking groove is connected to the top end of the assembly leg, and the assembly leg is fixedly connected to the assembly leg through the locking groove.

[0010] Preferably, the assembly feet can be easily replaced, thus facilitating the clamping and positioning of different flowers.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an anti-slip pad is connected to the top of the flower spike clip, and the anti-slip pad is a longitudinal groove.

[0012] Preferably, it is designed to be easy to hold the flower spike clip.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a one-way suction nozzle is connected to the end of the airbag, and a connecting hose is connected between the airbag and the lower sealing chamber.

[0014] Preferably, the airbag can easily draw in outside air.

[0015] The invention is further configured such that a connecting protruding threaded pipe is connected to the side of the lower sealing chamber, the connecting hose is connected to the lower sealing chamber through the connecting protruding threaded pipe, and a guide groove is connected to the interior of the lower sealing chamber and the connecting protruding threaded pipe, the guide groove being connected to the main air groove and the branch air groove.

[0016] Preferably, it allows external airflow to easily enter the interior of each group of air slots.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the ends of the lower sealing chamber and the upper sealing chamber are both connected to sealing pads, and the sealing pads have limiting grooves inside.

[0018] Preferably, this allows for easy clamping of the other end of the flower spike, reducing damage to the spike.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that both the lower sealing chamber and the upper sealing chamber are equipped with insert rods, and both the lower sealing chamber and the upper sealing chamber are engaged with the snap-fit ​​parts on the outside of the flower spike clip via the insert rods.

[0020] Preferably, it facilitates the fixing and limiting of the upper and lower sealed chambers, and also facilitates the disassembly of the upper and lower fixed chambers.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects: The present invention, through the setting of the emasculation clip, can hold the stamens by the peeling head at the end of the emasculation clip during the emasculation process. By squeezing the emasculation clip, the peeling head can be pushed away from each other, causing the stamens to be peeled off from both sides. This facilitates the peeling of the stamens, improves the peeling efficiency, reduces the peeling time, and moves the stamens away from the pistil during the peeling process, thus improving the peeling effect.

[0022] The present invention also features upper and lower sealed chambers and airbags. During the pollination process, the upper and lower sealed chambers can largely isolate the flower spikes from the outside world. Then, airflow is injected into the sealed chambers through the airbags. The airflow pushes the pollen to scatter in the sealed chambers, allowing for simultaneous pollination of multiple sets of pistils, which improves pollination efficiency and reduces pollination time.

[0023] The present invention also features a spikelet clip that can hold the end of the spikelet during pollination or emasculation, thereby effectively reducing damage to the spikelet caused by high temperatures from human hands. In addition, when used in conjunction with the emasculation clip and a sealed pollination chamber, the pollination time can be effectively shortened, thereby further protecting the end of the spikelet and reducing damage to the spikelet.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described. Example 1

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The assembly includes a emasculation clamp 1 and a flower spike clamp 5. The bottom of the emasculation clamp 1 is connected to an assembly leg 2, and the top of the emasculation clamp 1 is connected to a rotating shaft 101. A return spring 102 is installed below the rotating shaft 101. Flexible pads 103 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the emasculation clamp 1. The top of the assembly leg 2 is connected to a locking groove 203, and the assembly leg 2 is fixedly connected to the assembly leg 2 via the locking groove 203. Each assembly leg 2 has a fixing rod 201 and a pushing inclined surface 202 on its inner wall. An elastic wire 3 is fixed to the assembly leg 2 via the fixing rod 201. The elastic wire 3 is U-shaped, and two sets of peeling clamps 4 are connected to the bottom of the elastic wire 3. 3. Align and fit with the pushing inclined surface 202. After the peeling clamp 4 is aligned and fitted, it drives the elastic wire 3 to deform and bend along the pushing inclined surface 202. When performing emasculation, first assemble the emasculation clamp 1, then move the emasculation clamp 1 so that the peeling clamp 4 is aligned with the outside of the stamen. Press the emasculation clamp 1 and clamp the stamen with the peeling clamp 4. Continue to push the emasculation clamp 1 with force. At this time, the peeling clamp 4 squeezes each other and drives the elastic wire 3 to slide along the pushing inclined surface 202, so that the two sets of peeling clamp 4 move away from each other, thereby further peeling the stamen. During the peeling process, it also drives the stamen away from the pistil, reducing pollen contamination of the pistil.

[0029] Please see Figures 4 to 10 The top of the flower spike clip 5 is connected to an anti-slip pad 501, and the inner wall of the flower spike clip 5 is connected to a silicone pad 503. The flower spike clip 5 has locking parts 502 at both the top and bottom. Insert rods 8 are installed inside both the lower sealing chamber 71 and the upper sealing chamber 72. Both the lower sealing chamber 71 and the upper sealing chamber 72 are connected to the locking parts 502 on the outside of the flower spike clip 5 via the insert rods 8. The lower sealing chamber 71 is located at the bottom. The lower sealing chamber 71 has a main air groove 711 and a branch air groove 712 inside. An airbag 6 is connected to the side of the lower sealing chamber 71. A one-way suction nozzle 601 is connected to the end of the airbag 6. A connecting hose 602 connects the airbag 6 and the lower sealing chamber 71. The side of 71 is connected to a connecting threaded tube 714. The connecting hose 602 is connected to the lower sealing chamber 71 through the connecting threaded tube 714. The interior of the lower sealing chamber 71 is connected to the connecting threaded tube 714 and a guide groove 713. The guide groove 713 is connected to the main air groove 711 and the branch air groove 712. The bottom of the upper sealing chamber 72 is connected to a venting groove 721. The main air groove 711, the branch air groove 712 and the venting groove 721 are all equipped with filter screens. During the pollination process, pollen can be placed into the lower sealing chamber 71. The airflow sent by the airbag 6 drives the pollen to fly in the upper and lower sealing chambers, thereby pollinating the pistil.

[0030] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The top of the flower spike clip 5 is connected to an anti-slip pad 501, which is a longitudinal groove that can easily clamp, fix and limit the flower spike clip 5.

[0031] In the above embodiment, please refer to the figure for details. Both the lower sealing chamber 71 and the upper sealing chamber 72 are connected to a sealing pad 9 at their ends, and the sealing pad 9 has a limiting groove inside.

[0032] In use, first, clamp the end of the grape flower cluster using the flower cluster clamp 5. Hold the flower cluster clamp 5 with your fingers on the outside, press your thumb on the anti-slip pad 501 above the flower cluster clamp 5, and bend your index finger to support the flower cluster clamp 5 from below, thus limiting the position of the flower cluster clamp 5. Then, lift the flower cluster and clamp the end of the flower cluster with the silicone pad 503 of the flower cluster clamp 5. Slightly press your thumb on the anti-slip pad 501 to limit the position of the flower cluster. Then, hold the assembled emasculation clamp 1 with your other hand, align the emasculation clamp 1 with the outside of the flower to be emasculated, align the gap between the two sets of peeling clips 4 with the pistil, and first squeeze the emasculation clamp 1 firmly. At this time, the peeling clips 4 will adhere to the stamens on the outside of the pistil, and the peeling will begin. The ends of the stamen clips 4 are tightly fitted together, and then the stamen clips 1 are pressed down with force. At this time, the fitted stamen clips 4 will bend the elastic wire 3 under the force. The elastic wire 3 will slide along the pushing inclined surface 202 towards the outside of the stamen clips 1, thereby driving the two sets of stamen clips 4 tightly attached to the outside of the stamen to move outward synchronously, thereby peeling off the stamen. Then, the stamen clips 1 are pulled to remove the stamen from the flower. In this process, the stamen can be peeled away from the pistil, reducing the process of pollen leakage and contact with the pistil during the stamen peeling process. In addition, the clamping of the spike clips 5 during the stamen removal process can effectively reduce the damage to the spike. After stamen removal, it is necessary to wait two days before pollinating the pistil. During pollination, the lower sealing chamber 71 is first fixed to the locking part 502 of the flower spike clamp 5. Then, the airbag 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting threaded tube 714 of the lower sealing chamber 71 via the connecting hose 602, thus connecting the airbag 6 to the lower sealing chamber 71. Pollen is then placed inside the lower sealing chamber 71, and the lower sealing chamber 71 is placed over the outside of the flower spike. The end of the flower spike is clamped by the flower spike clamp 5. The upper sealing chamber 72 is then fixed above the flower spike clamp 5 to roughly seal the position of the flower spike (absolute sealing is not possible). The airbag 6 is then pressed, and the airflow inside the airbag 6 is sent into the lower sealing chamber 71 through the connecting hose 602. The airflow enters the main air groove 711 and the branch air groove 712 through the guide groove 713, and finally sprays out through the main air groove 711 and the branch air groove 712, blowing the pollen accumulated in the lower sealing chamber 71 upward. Furthermore, the branch air groove 712 disturbs the airflow in the sealed chamber, causing the airflow to carry pollen upwards and pollinate the pistils in the flower spike. The airbag 6 is squeezed slowly, about half a minute, so that the airflow can continuously and gently carry the pollen. When the airflow encounters the inner side of the upper sealed chamber 72, it will flow along the inner wall of the upper sealed chamber 72 and finally move to the ventilation groove 721 opened at the bottom of the upper sealed chamber 72. The airflow is discharged through the ventilation groove 721, and the pollen is blocked by the filter screen in the ventilation groove 721 and falls into the lower sealed chamber 71 under the action of gravity for subsequent circulating pollination. When the airbag 6 is pressed, the airbag 6 is released, and the airbag 6 draws in outside air through the one-way suction nozzle 601. At this time, the pollen is also blocked by the filter screen on the outside of the main air groove 711 and the branch air groove 712 to prevent pollen leakage. After the flower spikes are pollinated, the upper sealing chamber 72 is first removed from the flower spike clip 5. Then, the lower sealing chamber 71 is moved away from the flower spike by the flower spike clip 5. The remaining pollen is retained in the lower sealing chamber 71. Then, the lower sealing chamber 71 is moved to the outside of the next group of flower spikes for subsequent pollination.
