Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of breeding and pollination technology, specifically to a stable pollination device for chili pepper breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Chili pepper breeding is a process of artificially selecting and improving varietal characteristics, with pollination being a crucial step. While chili peppers are self-pollinating crops and can naturally self-pollinate, artificial pollination allows for precise control of parental combinations, avoiding non-targeted hybridization and ensuring the stable inheritance of varietal purity and superior traits. By selectively transferring pollen from the male parent to the stigma of the female parent, it is possible to effectively cultivate new varieties with strong disease resistance, high yield, or unique flavor, meeting the demands of agricultural production and the market. Therefore, pollination is a core technical means for achieving targeted breeding and improving chili pepper quality and planting efficiency.

[0003] Currently, artificial pollination in chili pepper breeding mainly relies on handheld tools for spot pollination, a method with significant limitations. Manual pollination makes it difficult to precisely control the amount and coverage of pollen, easily leading to uneven pollination or excessive pollen scattering and waste, reducing breeding efficiency and increasing costs. Because chili pepper flowers are small and often clustered, traditional methods cannot effectively adapt to the pollination needs of different flower types and densities, and the process easily damages the flowers. Furthermore, floating pollen can cause non-target hybridization, affecting breeding purity, and existing devices generally lack the ability to recover excess pollen, further exacerbating resource waste and environmental pollution. Fixed pollination structures are also difficult to adjust flexibly, limiting their application in diverse breeding scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a stable pollination device for chili breeding, including a pollination gun 1. A handle 5 is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the pollination gun 1. A storage box 26 is installed on the inner right end of the pollination gun 1. A feed pipe 34 passes through the top of the storage box 26 and extends upward through the pollination gun 1. A conveying pipe 21 passes through the left end of the storage box 26. A partition 20 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the pollination gun 1. A rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the left end of the partition 20. The handle 5 facilitates the operation of the device by the staff, improving the device's effectiveness. Furthermore, the partition 20 divides the device into two chambers, facilitating the use of the entire device.

[0031] The other end of the rotating shaft 13 passes through the pollination gun 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating ring 12. The other end of the conveying pipe 21 is rotatably connected inside the rotating shaft 13. Several nozzles 11 are fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating ring 12. The conveying pipe 21 is connected to the nozzles 11. A pump body 23 is installed in the middle of the conveying pipe 21. A pulley 28 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. A drive box 14 is fixedly connected to the upper left end of the pollination gun 1. A motor 19 is fixedly connected to the inner right end of the drive box 14. An output shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 19. A pulley 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 17. A belt 16 is fitted on the pulley 15 and the pulley 28. 6. The drive box 14 and the powder gun 1 are installed in the cavity of the two. In order to improve the powdering effect, the start motor 19 drives the output shaft 17 and the pulley 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of the belt 16, the rotating shaft 13 and the pulley 15 can be rotated, thereby causing the outer rotating ring 12 to rotate, increasing the powdering area of ​​the entire nozzle 11 and improving the powdering effect of the device. A bearing is installed at the connection between the conveying pipe 21 and the rotating shaft 13 to ensure the stability of the two during rotation. In addition, a rotary sealing assembly is installed at the connection between the conveying pipe 21, the rotating shaft and the storage box 26 to ensure the sealing effect during rotation and prevent leakage.

[0032] A support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom left end of the pollination gun 1. Slide rails 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer side of the support frame. Mounting frame 9 is slidably connected to the slide rails 2. By setting the slide rails 2, the staff can easily move the position of the mounting frame 9, thereby adjusting the position of the recovery ring 10, which is convenient for use on flowers of different shapes and sizes.

[0033] The slide rail 2 has several screw holes 4 of the same size inside. The mounting bracket 9 and the support bracket have internal threads that are fitted with positioning bolts 3. The positioning bolts 3 and the screw holes 4 are fitted together. By setting the positioning bolts 3 and the screw holes 4, the mounting bracket 9 can be fixed to ensure stability during use and improve the performance of the device.

[0034] The bottom of the mounting frame 9 has a limiting groove 22, and a limiting block 23 is installed inside the limiting groove 22. One end of the limiting block 23 is fixedly connected to a recovery ring 10. Several recovery heads 28 are installed inside the recovery ring 10. One end of the outer side of the recovery ring 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 25. A connecting head 24 is opened through the inside of the connecting block 25. The connecting head 24 is connected to the recovery head 28. When the recovery ring 10 needs to be disassembled, the motor 2 30 is started first to drive the screw 29 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded engagement, the screw 29 can be rotated. Then, under the action of the threaded engagement, the positioning block 32 can be gradually retracted inward and away from the inside of the positioning groove 27. Then, the operator loosens the flange at the connection between the connecting head 24 and the recovery pipe 8 and pulls out the limiting block 23 to complete the quick disassembly of the recovery ring 10, which is convenient for the operator to replace and improves the applicability of the device.

[0035] A recycling box 6 is fixedly connected to the lower right side of the support frame. A recycling pipe 8 is installed through the left end of the recycling box 6. The recycling pipe 8 is connected to the recycling head 28 through a flange. A pump body 7 is installed in the middle of the recycling pipe 8. A slot 31 is opened inside the mounting frame 9. A motor 30 is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the slot 31. A screw 29 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 30. A positioning block 32 is threaded on the screw 29. A positioning groove 27 is opened through the inside of the limiting block 23. The positioning block 32 corresponds to the positioning groove 27. When the pump body 7 is started, the recycling pipe 8 and the recycling head 28 can generate negative pressure suction, thereby absorbing the excess pollen floating in the air around the flower into the inside of the recycling pipe 8 and finally into the recycling box 6, completing the recycling of excess pollen, reducing the waste caused in the entire pollination process, and greatly improving the pollination efficiency of the pollination device.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the operator holds handle 5 and positions the pollination gun 11 at one end of the pollination component corresponding to the chili flower, and makes the recovery ring 10 pass through the flower stem. Then, the operator sends the pollen into the storage box 26 through the top feed pipe 34. The feed pipe 34 is then sealed with a sealing plug to ensure the overall sealing effect. Then, the pump body 2 33 is started to send the pollen in the storage box 26 into the nozzle 11 through the conveying pipe 21 and spray it outward, completing the pollination operation of chili pepper breeding. In order to improve the pollination effect, the motor 19 is started to drive the output shaft 17 and the pulley 2 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of the belt 16, the rotating shaft 13 and the pulley 15 can be rotated, thereby causing the outer rotating ring 12 to rotate, increasing the pollination area of ​​the entire nozzle 11 and improving the pollination effect of the device.

[0037] During the pollination process, some pollen is inevitably wasted, floating around the flowers. At this time, activating the pump body 7 can generate negative pressure suction in the recovery pipe 8 and the recovery head 28, thereby absorbing the excess pollen floating in the air around the flowers into the interior of the recovery pipe 8, and finally into the recovery box 6, completing the recycling of excess pollen, reducing the waste caused in the entire pollination process, and greatly improving the pollination efficiency of the pollination device.

[0038] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
