Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of maize breeding technology, and in particular to a pollinator for maize breeding. Background Technology

[0002] As a globally important food, feed, and industrial raw material crop, maize breeding is a crucial step in improving yield, quality, and stress resistance. In maize hybridization breeding, artificial pollination is a core technology for controlling parental self-pollination, hybrid combinations, and ensuring seed purity. This technology requires precise and uniform pollination of pollen from a specific paternal parent onto the silks of the target maternal parent's ear, while strictly avoiding pollen contamination from different germplasms (including non-target paternal parents and the maternal parent itself) to ensure the achievement of breeding objectives and seed genetic purity.

[0003] Traditional artificial pollination mainly relies on manually shaking the male tassel (spiky tassel) to collect pollen into paper bags or containers, and then manually pouring the pollen onto the silks of the female tassel. This method is extremely labor-intensive, inefficient, and has significant drawbacks: High risk of pollen contamination: During the collection and release of pollen, it is very easy to introduce non-target pollen (such as pollen blown by the wind, pollen carried by the operator, or pollen from other nearby plants), leading to pollination failure or mixed offspring.

[0004] Low pollen utilization: Pollen collected by manual shaking is often mixed with a large number of anther fragments, glumes and other impurities. Fine pollen is easily scattered and lost, and it is difficult to guarantee the amount that actually falls onto the filaments.

[0005] Uneven pollination: Relying on manually pouring or shaking bagged pollen for pollination makes it difficult to ensure that the pollen evenly covers the entire female ear silk group, affecting the pollination and seed setting rate, and may lead to inconsistent grain development in the ear.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new pollinator for maize breeding to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-13 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the first view of the pollinator for maize breeding provided by the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the second perspective of the pollinator for maize breeding provided by the present invention. Figure 3A schematic diagram of the third perspective of the pollinator for maize breeding provided by the present invention; Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the structure. Figure 5 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the connection structure between the pollen collection mechanism and the residue removal mechanism; Figure 6 for Figure 5 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the structure. Figure 7 for Figure 5 The diagram shows the connection structure between the slag removal mechanism and the collection pipe. Figure 8 for Figure 7 A structural schematic diagram from another perspective is shown; Figure 9 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the negative pressure mechanism shown. Figure 10 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the connection structure of the pollination mechanism, sealing mechanism, and vibration mechanism; Figure 11 for Figure 10 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure is shown; Figure 12 for Figure 10 Another cross-sectional view of the structure is shown in the diagram; Figure 13 for Figure 10 The diagram shows the structure of the vibration mechanism after the protective cover is removed. The pollinator for maize breeding includes: a collection cylinder 1, a pollen collection mechanism 2 on one side of the collection cylinder 1, a negative pressure mechanism 3 on the side of the collection cylinder 1 away from the pollen collection mechanism 2, a pollination mechanism 4 at the bottom of the collection cylinder 1, a sealing mechanism 6 on the pollination mechanism 4, and a vibration mechanism 7 on the pollination mechanism 4. The negative pressure mechanism 3 is used to generate negative pressure inside the collection cylinder 1; The pollen collection mechanism 2 is used to collect pollen by using the negative pressure generated inside the collection cylinder 1 and collect it into the collection cylinder 1; The pollination mechanism 4 is used to spray pollen through the vibration mechanism 7 and the sealing mechanism 6.

[0023] The pollen collection mechanism 2 includes a collection cover 202 disposed on one side of the collection cylinder 1. One end of the collection tube 201 is connected to the top of the collection cover 202. The other end of the collection tube 201 extends into the collection cylinder 1. A first filter screen 204 is fixedly installed inside the collection tube 201. The first filter screen 204 is located outside the collection cylinder 1. A strainer 203 is provided on the side of the first filter screen 204 away from the collection cylinder 1. A slag removal mechanism 5 is provided on the outside of the collection tube 201. The slag removal mechanism 5 is adapted to the strainer 203.

[0024] The collection hood 202 is cone-shaped, which facilitates the insertion of the tassels while effectively preventing other contaminants (pollen from different corn species) from entering the collection cylinder 1, thereby improving the purity of the pollen and facilitating the collection of corn pollen. The first screen 203 improves the purity of the pollen entering the collection cylinder 1 and reduces the probability of the third filter 405 being clogged. The slag removal mechanism 5 includes a support cylinder 501 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the collection pipe 201. A collection box 503 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support cylinder 501. The collection box 503 is connected to the collection pipe 201 through a mesh 203. A connecting hole 502 is opened at the top of the collection box 503. A cover plate 504 is hinged to one side of the collection box 503. A buckle 505 is provided between the cover plate 504 and the collection box 503. The cover plate 504 is detachably connected to the collection box 503 through the buckle 505.

[0025] The slag discharge mechanism 5 can collect the anthers, and when there is not enough pollen, it can collect the pollen that has not been removed from the anthers, thus ensuring the amount of pollen.

[0026] The negative pressure mechanism 3 includes an exhaust pipe 301, one end of which extends into the collection cylinder 1. A second filter screen 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the exhaust pipe 301 inside the collection cylinder 1, and an installation cylinder 302 is fixedly installed at the other end of the exhaust pipe 301. An exhaust fan 303 is fixedly installed inside the installation cylinder 302, and a protective net 305 is fixedly installed at the end of the exhaust fan 303 away from the exhaust pipe 301.

[0027] By setting the second filter 304, pollen in the collection cylinder 1 can be prevented from being discharged, thus ensuring pollen collection efficiency.

[0028] The end of the collecting pipe 201 located inside the collecting cylinder 1 is lower than the end of the exhaust pipe 301 located inside the collecting cylinder 1. This arrangement can more effectively reduce the adsorption of pollen entering the collecting cylinder 1 by the second filter 304, thereby better preventing the second filter from being blocked.

[0029] The pollination mechanism 4 includes a conical powder collecting cylinder 401 fixedly installed inside the collecting cylinder 1. A support ring 402 is sleeved on the outer side of the conical powder collecting cylinder 401. The support ring 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the collecting cylinder 1. An installation ring 403 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support ring 402. The inner wall of the installation ring 403 is in contact with the conical powder collecting cylinder 401. A pollination cover 404 is threaded on the outer side of the installation ring 403. The pollination cover 404 is connected to the conical powder collecting cylinder 401. A third filter screen 405 is provided at the bottom of the conical powder collecting cylinder 401.

[0030] In this embodiment, the apertures of the perforated screen 203, the first filter screen 204, the third filter screen 405, and the second filter screen 304 decrease sequentially.

[0031] The sealing mechanism 6 includes a mounting sleeve 601 fixedly installed on the pollination cover 404, and a sealing plate 602 is slidably installed inside the mounting sleeve 601, with the top of the sealing plate 602 in contact with the bottom of the pollination cover 404.

[0032] The sealing plate 602 has a pull hole 603 on its top. A first magnet 604 is fixedly installed on the sealing plate 602. A positioning strip is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting sleeve 601. Two second magnets 605 are fixedly installed on the top of the positioning strip. The magnetic poles of the first magnet 604 and the second magnet 605 are opposite to each other. The arrangement of the first magnet 604 and the second magnet 605 facilitates the movement of the sealing plate 602 and also facilitates the fixing of the sealing plate 602 after it has been moved.

[0033] The vibration mechanism 7 includes a protective cover 701 fixedly installed at the bottom of the collecting cylinder 1. The protective cover 701 is fixedly connected to the support ring 402. A motor 702 fixedly installed at the bottom of the collecting cylinder 1 is disposed inside the protective cover 701. A cam 703 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 702. A push plate 704 is provided on the side of the cam 703 near the conical powder collecting cylinder 401. The push plate 704 contacts the cam 703. A vibrating rod 70 is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate 704 away from the cam 703. 5. A positioning sleeve 707 is fitted on the outer side of the vibrating rod 705. The positioning sleeve 707 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support ring 402. A connecting ring 706 is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the vibrating rod 705. A spring 708 is fitted on the outer side of the vibrating rod 705. The two ends of the spring 708 are fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve 707 and the connecting ring 706, respectively. One end of the vibrating rod 705 away from the push plate 704 extends into the support ring 402. The vibrating rod 705 is adapted to the conical powder collecting cylinder 401.

[0034] The vibrating rod 705 has a spherical end located inside the support ring 402.

[0035] After the sealing plate 602 is opened, some pollen will fall directly into the pollination cover 404, but most of the pollen cannot pass through the third filter 405 and fall into the pollination cover 404. Just like flour and a sieve, when the sieve is not shaken, the flour will basically not fall through the sieve screen. Therefore, by setting the vibration mechanism 7 to tap the conical pollen collecting cylinder 401, the pollen can be continuously and evenly falling into the pollination cover 404, thereby improving the uniformity of corn pollination.

[0036] The working principle of the pollinator for maize breeding provided by this invention is as follows: Before pollinating the corn, the exhaust fan 303 is first turned on. The exhaust fan 303 draws air out of the collection cylinder 1 through the exhaust pipe 301, creating a negative pressure inside the collection cylinder 1. Then, one hand lifts the entire device through the handle inside the collection cylinder 1 and places the collection cover 202 over the tassel at the very top of the corn plant. The other hand shakes the tassel at the very top of the corn plant to cause the pollen to fall from the dehiscent mature anthers. Under the negative pressure inside the collection cylinder 1, the fallen pollen enters through the collection cover 202 and the collection pipe 201. Inside the collection cylinder 1, during the process of pollen entering the collection cylinder 1, the detached anthers and other tissues are blocked in the collection tube 201 by the first filter screen 204, and the pollen smoothly enters the collection cylinder 1 through the first filter screen 204. The pollen in the collection cylinder 1 is blocked in the collection cylinder 1 by the second filter screen 304. During the pollen collection process, the anthers and other tissues of corn blocked in the collection tube 201 by the first filter screen 204 enter the collection box 503 through the third filter screen 5. After pollen collection is complete, turn off the exhaust fan 303, then place the pollination cover 404 over the female ear. Pull the sealing plate 602 through the pull hole 603. The sealing plate 602 drives the first magnet 604 to move until the first magnet 604 moves from one second magnet 605 to another second magnet 605. Then stop pulling the sealing plate 602. At this time, the conical pollen collecting cylinder 401 is connected to the pollination cover 404. Then start the motor 702. The output shaft of the motor 702 drives the cam 703 to move. Under the action of the cam 703 and the spring 708, the vibrating rod 705 reciprocates, continuously striking the conical pollen collecting cylinder 401. This causes the pollen above the third filter screen 405 to pass through the third filter screen 405 under vibration and fall into the pollination cover 404, finally sprinkling onto the filaments extending from the top of the female ear, completing precise pollination.

[0037] Compared with related technologies, the pollinator for maize breeding provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a pollinator for maize breeding. Through a negative pressure mechanism 3 and a pollen collection mechanism 2, it avoids contamination of the pollen to be collected by pollen from other maize plants, thus enabling the collection of relatively pure pollen. Furthermore, a slag removal mechanism 5 is installed on the pollen collection mechanism 2 to collect the anthers while preventing them from clogging the collection tube 201, thereby avoiding insufficient pollen collection. The pollination mechanism 4 and the sealing mechanism 6 are used to aggregate the pollen falling into the collection cylinder 1, while preventing the pollination mechanism 4 from interfering with the pollen collection process. A vibration mechanism 7 ensures that the pollen passes evenly through the third filter 405 into the pollination cover 404, thereby improving the uniformity of maize pollination. During the pollination process, the pollination cover 404 also prevents the silks extending from the tip of the female ear from being contaminated.
